Chapter 583

C583

Lokia Ganesto.

One of the ten great knights from a thousand years ago, and one of the most powerful individuals in pure magic from old Runcandel.

Jin and Valeria had seen her in the recording left in Temar’s fourth tomb.

“…It’s surprising that a key piece of the teleportation device is Ganesto.”

It’s not a common surname. At least Jin had never known anyone with the surname Ganesto, neither in his previous life nor in the current one.

Manipulating the history about the ten great knights must have been the reason people stopped using the Ganesto surname itself.

“Tingen Bauer, it’s very likely that the man named Qwaul Ganesto is a descendant of Lokia Ganesto. Looking at the records, I felt the reaction of the history manipulation.”

In an instant, several assumptions came to Jin’s mind and all were bad.

Lokia Ganesto, she, betrayed ancient Runcandel, and her descendants have been using aliases and contributing to Zipple, or they have forgotten their grudge and become Zipple’s subordinates because history has been erased, or Zipple tells his descendants the wrong story. As a result or something like that.

‘In the recoding Lokia Ganesto… she was a cruel and cold character. She even seemed friendly with the witch Heluram.’

-“Patriarch, no! Brother. I can’t do this. I will meet the Witch who is in the Black Sea. Lokia said that if she is the witch, she might have a way to stop Zipple’s manipulation of history….”

The words spoken by Sarah Runcandel in the video recording from the third tomb.

A thousand years ago, when the war was in full swing and the history of the Fairy Tribe and Runcandel was being manipulated, Sarah heard Lokia’s opinion and wanted to meet Heluram.

Of course, it was not a matter of jumping to conclusions. Because Jin doesn’t know what happened a thousand years ago. Above all, Qwaul was just a descendant of Lokia, not one of the ten great knights of Runcandel.

“I need to find and meet that person named Qwaul Ganesto. You won’t be able to determine his location from the plans and records left in the machine, right?”.

“Yes. The year of manufacture of the piece is 1780. The year you were born.”

The plan was made in 1775, and the teleportation device, in 1780.

Jin said he would have to find him and meet him, but in reality meeting Qwaul would be almost impossible.

It was impossible for Zipple to neglect a magical engineer of that level.

Surely, Qwaul is the best magical engineer of the moment.

‘My mother said she had heard from the Prophet that this machine would change the tide of war.’

The Prophet was right, as the machine turned out to be part of a teleportation device.

‘Furthermore, the Prophet had told my mother that she could start production immediately of the fleet by complementing and strengthening the ship design…’

If so, the Prophet could have the ability to perfect the machine as well.

Only for efficiency, it would be better for him to contact the Prophet immediately to know the details about it and proceed with the negotiations.

In reality, Rosa intended to do just that.

-“Originally, I planned to use them through the Prophet.

-However, this time I have changed my mind by suspending Joshua as Flagbearer. I will suspend negotiations with the Prophet. During that time, show that you have a better path than the Prophet.”

Rosa did not specifically tell him the time period. However, Jin guessed that it would have taken longer than Rosa’s original plan due to Gliek’s submission.

Currently, Rosa was in a disheartening state just to organize the Family.

Many Family Knights died in the war. Over three hundred elite Knights, including five Black Knights, were lost.

Runcandel put a black helmet on high-performing Knights every time a Black Knight retired or died.

However, keeping 10 Black Knights like this has reached its limit. To the point that Mon, who was demoted to Execution Knight after the Sota Desert, was reinstated as a Black Knight.

‘Furthermore, my mother will also have no choice but to be cautious due to the Chaos invasion.’

If only the power of the Family is lost, then Rosa is more likely to have advanced negotiations with the Prophet.

That’s how she could quickly restore power because Zipple is weak now and it’s an opportunity to attack them.

However, Rosa had no choice but to postpone negotiations as she was now in a situation where she could not properly exert herself.

For now, she had no choice but to negotiate with the Prophet on the right terms.

“Production may have started in earnest since then, but it must be recently that the technology has developed to the point where it can be used in practice.”

“Regardless of when it was available, Zipple probably wanted to reveal the fleet and teleportation device later. The reason they used the fleet as bait in the Sota Desert was to confirm the existence of the Prophet in your Family.”

Valeria returned the plans and the machine to Jin.

She tried several times to obtain new information with the magic of the disks, but she got nothing.

“Now I really have to go. Whatever happens, I will send you a letter to Tikan if there are any new developments. Maybe sooner or later your sister will find a small clue about the Fifth Tomb of Temar.”

“Are you talking about Elder Sister Luntia? No wonder, I heard that Elder Brother Dyfus was in charge of preventing Chaos, not Elder Sister Luntia. She’s looking for Temar’s Tomb. It’s surprising how useful she is to me.”

“There may be information within Runcandel that you don’t know. The Third Flagbearer is moving based on that.”

Valeria offered to shake Jin’s hand.

“See you later.”

“Take care”.

——————–

Two days later, in an unexpected place.

Jin was able to find clues about Qwaul Ganesto.

“Did you say Qwaul Ganesto’s alias was Tingen Bauer?”

A hidden mansion within the Hidden Palace.

Talaris, with a haggard face, asked Jin with wide eyes as soon as she heard the name.

“Do you know him?”

“Neither Qwaul Ganesto nor Tingen Bauer are common names. Especially when it comes to the magical engineer Tingen Bauer… I’m pretty sure he’s someone I know.”

-He’s a magical engineering genius, huh… Among my lovers there were quite a few like that. Do you want me to get in touch with them? Son-in-law.

Shortly after obtaining the machine, Jin also talked to Talaris about the need for an engineer.

And surprisingly, she, Talaris, had a romance with a man named Tingen Bauer in her youth.

“He was my seventy-seventh lover. It was a lucky number and I remember him very clearly for his unique personality. A cool guy who is the perfect definition of a nerd.”

“Huh, Talaris-nim. Is there any way I can contact him now?”

“I remember the house he lived in, but the chances of him still living there are low, right? A wooden cabin on the outskirts of Palin Kingdom, it must have been more than 30 years ago.”

“Still, I’d like to go once. What kind of person was he?”

A small smile crossed Talaris’s lips as she remembered her memories with Qwaul. It seems that her memories with him were not so bad, but when Talaris thought more deeply about him, her expression wrinkled.

“He was a bad boy. I didn’t know there would be another human in the world who could leave me, except for your father!”

“…Eh? Did my father leave you?”

“Ara, you’re mistaken. I’m not talking about a relationship, your father left me in the duels we had. Anyway, Tingen, he, cut off his relationship with me then, saying he was busy with some research, and I haven’t heard from him since then. Anyway, I’ll give Mort to you until my daughter comes back, so go see the house where he lived.”

“Alright.”

Booong-!

As soon as Jin replied, Mort appeared in front of Talaris and let out a cry.

There were black Chaos stains all over Mort’s body. However, unlike Jin and other infected, Mort was slowly purifying the Chaos with his energy.

“Anyway, my daughter is too lazy to become a noble.”

“Mother.”

It was the first time Jin had met Siris since the war.

“Lady Siris.”

So Jin thought she would be angry with him, as he was responsible for Talaris suffering severe internal injuries and losing most of her powers.

“Jin.”

However, contrary to what Jin expected, Siris did not show anger towards Jin.

Rather, she looked at the stains left on Jin’s hand back and showed a hint of concern for him.

“…Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m still fine.”

Siris silently looked at the back of Jin’s hand for a while.

Jin coughed because the situation was somewhat awkward.

Siris used to get angry every time Talaris often got involved in matters related to Runcandel and Zipple and lost something because of Jin.

However, she wasn’t angry with Jin, but rather hated the fact that the major forces looked down on the Hidden Palace.

She had long recognized Jin as an ally.

Only for a while did she act harshly, with some kind of blow and strange competitive spirit.

Specifically, even if it wasn’t for Jin, Talaris herself had to intervene anyway to fulfill her secret mission.

Therefore, Siris understood that, thanks to Jin, the Hidden Palace only suffered this damage.

Talaris had told her that without Jin, she would have to break Elona’s seal.

If that woman, Elona, were freed from her seal, the Hidden Palace would have had to remain isolated from the world for a long time until it disappeared.

Moreover, Jin’s help didn’t end there.

Siris’s gaze landed behind Talaris.

She could see that Elona’s Zipple seal was mixed with Shadow Energy.

Black Dragon Misha.

As soon as the subjugation was over, Talaris required her and she came here to help maintain the seal. Elona could be freed if she didn’t, so Misha poured all her strength into the seal.

Because of this, Misha was in a state of binding by Elona’s seal, Misha’s current state was no different from that of a statue.

Jin followed Siris and observed Elona’s seal and Misha.

Before entering the seal, Misha told Jin that she was fine, but it was natural for them to feel sorry for her.

“Thank you for your concern, Lady Siris.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help.”

“Eh, are you two in a good mood? Daughter, go on a date with my son-in-law to Palin Kingdom right now.”

When Jin explained about Qwaul, Siris nodded.
