Chapter 588

Jin was a little worried because Qwaul had a rather snarky personality, but surprisingly, as soon as he arrived, he seemed to get along well with Jin's companions.

Of course, Qwaul had a feisty side, but Jin's companions quickly accepted him because he showed a rugged yet affectionate side to the children.

"Young Master, it seems everyone misses Lord Murakan."

Gilly spoke as she sat next to Jin. She and Jin were observing the children teasing Qwaul for being a bandit or a bandit leader.

"Murakan?"

"When Lord Murakan was around, Tikan always felt lively. He's actually taking care of everything and playing with the kids. I should say that Dr. Qwaul seems to be taking over the role."

"While he does seem to get along well with the kids, hasn't he taken care of other companions yet? It was only three hours ago that Qwaul came here."

Gilly's eyes widened at those words. Come to think of it, it was as Jin said.

In the past three hours, all Qwaul had done with his colleagues was appoint Amela as his assistant, propose the same role to Veris, only to be flatly rejected, and exchange a few words with others.

Qwaul even got a slap from Cuicantelle for teasing her, but it didn't seem to faze him

"Oh, well, that's right."

I guess you miss Murakan, Gilly...… Jin understood it that way.

'It makes me feel a little weird when I think about the fact that these two people could be lovers....'

The two were practically like parents to Jin, so whenever there was a strange atmosphere between them, it made Jin feel uneasy.

"Um, well then. I'll go take care of the overdue tasks, Young Master."

When Gilly disappeared, Jin let out a wry smile.

'I wonder if Murakan is doing well.'

Murakan was currently absent to fill the role of Misha. He was performing Solderet's duties in his place.

Jin had no idea exactly what he was doing. Given that it was a task of god, he assumed it involved maintaining the balance and order of the world.

Even Misha didn't fully understand everything she was handling. It was beyond the perception of mortals.

"Dame Amela."

This time, Amelia, dressed in a round bush, rolled over to Jin.

"Say it, lord."

"You had a long talk with Qwaul earlier. What do you think?"

"About his abilities?"

"Yes."

"Even if there were ten of me, I wouldn't be able to keep up with Dr. Qwaul's little toe."

"Is it that much?"

"Technically, he's ahead by at least a few hundred years. We've decided to study the Black King Cannon No. 1 together, and he's already solved some problems I couldn't figure out. It will take some time to perfect it, though. It won't be long before it surpasses Kozec's main cannon."

"Oh...."

Indeed, Qwaul's assurance that meeting him was the greatest fortune was not an exaggeration.

Amela, formerly a researcher, even before becoming a mercenary, seemed to show respect for Qwaul's abilities.

"It's really crazy that Zipfel just threw that old man away. It's their biggest mistake."

There was one more reason why Qwaul was left neglected in the remote area.

Zipfel mistakenly believed that they had utilized most of his abilities.

'It wasn't entirely wrong until recently.'

It was true that Qwaul was a genius among geniuses from the start. However, his engineering skills were increasing in real-time.

Just as he now realized he was a descendant of 'Ganesto,' some of the sealed 'inherited memories' were being released, weakening the power of the story after the Sword Emperor Castle War.

'The great knight Lokia Ganesto has arranged a mechanism to ensure that the memory continues to be passed on to its descendants... Is it like this?'

Memory inheritance.

Jin had already experienced firsthand the fact that it was possible thanks to the help of the brethren of the Plutonian tribe. Hister was also leaving magic, mana, records, and memories to its descendants through the 'succession temple'.

In a similar way, Ganesto was achieving memory transmission through some method. Zipfel was completely unaware of that fact.

Even so, Zipfel should have killed Qwaul or taken special care of him. Zipfel would have done so if it hadn't taken a huge hit in the Sword Emperor Castle War.

"It won't be long before they come looking for Qwaul again. So Dame Amela, keep an eye on Qwaul. You should absolutely refrain him from going outside Tikan."

"Are you telling me to keep him confined for research?"

"Something like that."

"Don't worry about that. He's the type to be locked up in the research lab even if told to go out. I'll make sure to pay more attention."

There was a lot of work to be done through Qwaul. And all of that will have better results than when Rosa chose 'The Prophet'.

-Originally, I planned to use them through the Prophet. However, I changed my mind this time by suspending Joshua from the flagbearer position. I will postpone negotiations with the prophet. During that time, prove that you have a method superior to the Prophet.

-If I fail, you...… will hand them over to the Prophet. You're saying this, acting matriarch.

The machine and the battleship's blueprints, Rosa still insisted on handing them over to the Prophet at any time.

'If Zipfel hadn't suffered such a significant blow during the Sword Emperor Castle War, my mother would have immediately taken those things away from me.'

Although Rosa never told Jin, she actually wanted to negotiate with the Prophet right now to complete the machine and fleet of battleships. She had an internal change after the war like Qwaul.

Still, there was only one reason Rosa was delaying the negotiations. This was because the clan's power weakened, if any variables arose in negotiations with the prophet, she had fewer means to deal with them.

It is not yet known how much power the Prophet possesses. Only by inferring from the fact that she has not directly exerted influence on the Garden of the Swords can it be deduced that she cannot overturn the clan as she wishes.

"But for now, please disguise Qwaul with Golden Snow products. Dame Amela, get ready to go out."

"Hmm, where are we going?"

"There are people who have to pay for their sins. If they try to scam me again, I won't have the means to investigate, so I need the help of both of you."

Kinzelo Main Headquarters.

As always, Kinzelo's executives watched Ainas and Bubare running around with distraught eyes.

"Ron Hairan... I never thought he would become a genesis knight."

Even on the always cheerful face of Margiella, a depth of concern was evident.

She had foreseen Dante's death long before the Sword emperor castle war began. Not only that, but she also knew how the world's balance would shift after Glyek awakened from the White Stone.

However, every future Margiella foresaw had all turned out to be completely wrong. All because Ron reached the Genesis knight at the last moment.

"I don't feel good. Making Sir Jin join us seems like something that will never happen in the future."

"Did you confirm the future with your ability?"

Zephyrin asked, and Margiella shook her head.

"Sir Jin's fate is completely invisible to me. However, now that things have turned out like this, it seems like Sir Jin has taken another step away from us."

"That devil is already very far from us."

"That is not wrong either."

"And even if the fate you saw had gone according to plan, wouldn't Sir Jin have become more distant from us?"

"He may have lost his mind, but he must have been in a situation where he needed our help."

A Red tiger tribesman found the executives in a hurry.

"What's going on?"

Berakt said while glaring at the red tiger who rushed carelessly.

"Jin Runcandel has come to the Land of the Beastmen! Huk, huk. He said "I am here for the negotiations that I mentioned last time...…."

The red tiger tribesmen were out of breath after running for so long. And the reason he ran was no different.

"Well, if you don't come to Yukayuka market by noon, I'll consider the negotiation nonexistent and leave!"

The gazes of the executives reached the clock hanging on the wall at the same time.

There were only two minutes left until noon. Even if Zephyrin immediately transformed into her true form and flew through the headquarters ceiling at full speed, it was impossible to get there in time.

"Ha! Is that arrogant guy trying to humiliate us again like this? No, Sir Berakt. Let's send a letter to Tikan. If Jin Runcandel doesn't come back to the land of the beastmen by the end of today, we will attack Tikan right away!"

For some reason, Berakt tried to respond positively to Joe's shout.

But the moment Margiella shook her head, Berakt scolded Joe.

 "Shut up, Joe."

"Right, mister Joe. Sir Jin never speaks empty words. If it's not now, we won't be able to see the machine and blueprints again."

Battleship blueprints and machine were also very important to Kinzelo. In the first place, they also took considerable damage in the Sota Desert and tried to win them.

Margiella soon made a decision.

"I will open the door. I'm sorry, leader!"

As she waved her hand in the air, a huge steel door suddenly formed in the middle of the meeting room, and at that moment, the leader of Kinzelo, who was lying in the inner room of the headquarters, had no choice but to vomit blood once again.

"If I get involved with that devil, my master's recovery will be delayed...…."

"Let's go together!"

All the executives passed through the steel door that Margiella had opened. As soon as they arrived at Yuka Yuka Market, they could see Jin holding a pocket watch.

"11:59:57 am. That's too bad, if you were just 4 seconds late, there wouldn't have been any conversation between you and me. It seems the items we acquired in the Sota Desert are quite necessary for you as well."

"Um, it's been a while. Sir Jin! How have you been?"

Margiella forced a smile.

"I don't think we're close enough to inquire about each other's well-being, Margiella."

"I think so too, Sir Jin. We were in a hurry and couldn't come with the engineers, so I'm sure you'll understand. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun for both parties."

When Zephyrin gritted her teeth, Jin snorted.

"Alright, fine. I can understand that part. But you guys are charged with the crime. Did you know that Glyek could wake up?"

"Even if we knew, what's the problem? It's just that our intelligence outpaced yours. We're not close enough to exchange greetings, let alone allies, so there was no need to share that information."

"You are right. Since we're not allies, I'd rather just blame you for the crimes. In fact, I didn't need to share the items we acquired in the Sota Desert with you. Therefore, there's one more condition for this negotiation. If you want to see the items..."

Explain how Vermont found Temar's body.

Jin finished his sentence with a stern expression.
