Lokia Ganesto.

One of ten great knights from a thousand years ago, and a person who was most powerful in pure magic in old Runcandel.

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

"... It's surprising that a key part of the teleportation device, is it Ganesto?"

It's not a common surname. At least Jin had never met anyone with the surname Ganesto, both in his previous and present lives.

The manipulation of history about the ten great knights must have been the reason why people stopped using the name Ganesto itself.

"Tingen Bauer, the man named Qwaul Ganesto is highly likely to be a descendant of Lokia Ganesto. As I looked at the records, I felt the backlash from history manipulation."

In an instant, several assumptions came to Jin's mind and it was all bad things.

Lokia Ganesto betrayed the old Runcandel, and its descendants have been using pseudonyms and contributing to Zipfel, or they have forgotten their grudge and become subordinate to Zipfel because history has been erased, or Zipfel tells her descendants the wrong history. As a result or something.

'In the recording Lokia Ganesto... was a cruel and cold character. She even seemed kind to the witch Helluram.'

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

The words spoken by Sarah Runcandel in the video recording of 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 listened to Lokia's opinion and wanted to meet Helluram.

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 only a descendant of Lokia, not one of ten great knights of Runcandel.

"I need to find and meet a person named Qwaul Ganesto. You won't be able to determine his location from the blueprints and records left on the machine, right?"

"Yes. The year of manufacture of the part is 1780. The year you were born."

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

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

There was no way that Zipfel would just neglect a magic engineer of that level. Undoubtedly, Qwaul is the best magic engineer at 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.

'In addition, the Prophet had told my mother that she could immediately begin fleet production by supplementing and strengthening the ship's design...….'

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

For efficiency alone, he'd better get in touch with the Prophet right away to hear the details about it and proceed with negotiations.

Actually Rosa intended to do just that.

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

-However, I changed my mind this time by suspending Joshua as flagbearer. I will suspend negotiations with the prophet. During that time, prove that you have a better way than a prophet.

Rosa didn't tell him specifically about the time period. However, Jin guessed that it would have taken longer than Rosa's original plan due to the Glyek subjugation.

Currently, Rosa was in a daunting state just to organize the clan.

Many knights of the clan died in the war. More than three hundred elite knights, including five black knights, were lost.

Runcandel has put a black helmet on the top enforcement knights whenever a black knight has been recruited or died.

However, maintaining 10 Black Knights like that has now reached its limit. It was to the point that Mon, who was demoted to an enforcement knight after the Sota Desert, was reinstated as a black knight.

'Besides, my mother will also have no choice but to be cautious because of the encroachment of chaos.'

If only the power of the clan is lost, then Rosa would have more likely advanced the negotiations with the Prophet. That's how she can quickly restore power because the Zipfel is weak now and it is a chance to attack them.

However, Rosa had no choice but to postpone the negotiations as she is now in a situation where she cannot properly exert her. For now, she has no choice but to negotiate with the Prophet on the right terms.

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

"Regardless of when it was available, probably Zipfel wanted to reveal the fleet and the teleportation device later. The reason they used the fleet as bait in the Sota Desert was to confirm the existence of a prophet in your clan."

Valeria returned the blueprints and the machine to Jin. She tried a few times to get new information with record magic, but there was no further gain.

"I really have to go now. Whatever it is, I'll send you a letter to Tikan if there's any further progress. Maybe sooner or later your sister will find a little clue about Temar's fifth tomb."

"Elder Sister Luntia? No wonder, I heard that Elder brother Diphus was in charge of preventing chaos, not Elder Sister Luntia. She is looking for Temar's tomb. It's surprising how helpful it is to me."

"There may be information inside Runcandel that you don't know about. The 3rd flagbearer is moving based on that."

Valeria offered to shake Jin's hand.

"See you later."

"Take care of yourself."

* * *

Two days later, in an unexpected place. Jin was able to find clues about Qwaul Ganesto.

"Did you say that the pseudonym of Qwaul Ganesto was Tingen Bauer?"

Hidden palace inside the Hidden Palace.

Talaris, with a haggard face, asked Jin with her eyes wide open 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 magic engineer Tingen Bauer...… I'm pretty sure it's someone I know."

-He's a genius magic engineer, huh...… Among my lovers there were a few like that. Do you want me to contact them? Son-in-law.

Shortly after obtaining the machine, Jin had also spoken with Talaris about the need for an engineer.

And surprisingly, Talaris had an affair with a man named Tingen Bauer in her youth.

"He was my seventy-seventh lover. Hmm, it was a lucky number and I remember it very clearly because of his unique personality. A genius man who is the perfect definition of geek, but he was making something like this for Zipfel, right?"

"Huh, Madame Talaris. Is there any way I can contact him now?"

"I remember the house he used to live in, but the chances of him still living there are low, right? A log cabin in the outskirts of Palin Kingdom, it must have been over 30 years ago."

"Still, I would like to go once. What kind of person was he?"

A small smile crossed Talaris' lips as she recalled her memories with Qwaul.

It seems that her memories with him weren't that bad and the moment Talaris thought about it her expression crumpled.

"He was a bad boy. I didn't know there would be another human in the world who could dump me except for your father!"

"... Yes? Did you say my father?"

"Ah, you must be mistaken. It's not a relationship, it's a duel that your father dumped me. Anyway, Tingen cut off his relationship with me then, saying he was busy with some research, and I haven't heard from him since. Anyway, I'll give you Mort when my daughter comes back, so go and check it out the house where he lived."

"All right."

Booong-!

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

There were black spots of chaos all over Mort's body. However, unlike Jin and other infected people, Mort is gradually purifying the chaos with his energy.

"Anyway, my daughter is too lazy to become a noblewoman."

"Mother."

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

"Lady Syris."

Because of this, Jin thought that she would be angry with him. It's because it doesn't seem like he's not responsible for Talaris suffering from severe internal injuries and losing most of her powers.

"Jin."

However, contrary to Jin's expectations, Syris did not show anger toward Jin. Rather, she looked at the spots left on the back of Jin's hand, and she showed a hint of concern for him.

"... Are you okay?"

"Uh, um. Yes, it's still fine."

Syris looked at the back of Jin's hand in silence for a while. Jin coughed because the situation was somehow awkward.

Syris used to be enraged whenever Talaris were often involved in affairs involving Runcandel and Zipfel and lost something because of Jin.

However, it's not that she was angry with Jin, but she hated the fact that the great forces were looking down on Hidden Palace.

She has long recognized Jin as an ally. It was only for a while that she acted harshly with a kind of hitting and strange competitive spirit.

In particular, even if it was not because of Jin, Talaris had to step in to fulfill her secret mission anyway.

Therefore, Syris understood that thanks to Jin, the hidden palace suffered only this much damage. She had been told by Talaris that without Jin, she would have to break Elona's seal.

If Elona was released from her seal, the hidden palace would have had to be cut off from the world for a long time until she disappeared.

Moreover, Jin's help did not end there.

Syris' gaze fell behind Talaris. She could see that Elona Zipfel's seal was mixed with shadow force.

Black Dragon Misha.

As soon as the subjugation was over, she was requested by Talaris and came here to help maintain the seal.

Elona could be freed if she didn't, so Misha poured all her strength into seal without ever recovering.

Because of this, Misha was in a state of being tied together by Elona's seal, the current state of Misha is no different from a statue.

Jin followed Syris and looked at Elona's seal and Misha. Before she entered the seal, Misha told Jin that she was fine, but it was only natural that they felt sorry for her.

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Syris."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help."

"Huh, are the two of you in a good mood? Daughter, go on a date with my son-in-law to the Palin Kingdom right now."

When Jin explained about Qwaul, Syris readily nodded her head.
