CHAPTER 668

[T.L: punisher87]

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

Valeria Hister had finally discovered the location of Temar's fifth tomb somewhere in the Kaldarn snowfield, just two months before Jin returned from Laprarosa.

Thanks to her use of record magic to trace Luntia's movements, Valeria was able to uncover the messages she left behind.

And right after Valeria left for the Kaldran Snow Field with Neru, she was pursued by three forces: Runcandel, Zipfel, and the Imperial Family.

From Runcandel, the Black Knight led the knights of Black Sword Association, and Ronil led the pursuit party of Zipfel.

They occasionally came across Valeria, but that was all.

But it was the Imperial Family that had put Valeria in the most danger.

Valeria was so desperately pursued for two months that she could not contact Tikan even once, all because of the Imperial Family.

"Are there such outstanding pursuers in the imperial family...…? Even the best force in the Garden of Swords and Zipfel couldn't find Valeria."

"Even though I'm from the Special Forces, even the Special Forces or the imperial guards cannot compare to the first division of Black Sword Association or the Black Knight. Even if they were strengthened by the power of chaos or majinization...… I'm not sure. The same may be true for Rosa's subordinates and Zipfel."

Valkas and Alisa said.

Jin was telling his companions the things he heard from Valeria while on the way to Tikan.

"Some exceptional figures among the Imperial Family's pursuers were knights from the Garden of Swords."

"You mean the imperial family betrayed Zipfel?"

"That's right."

"The people who just recently transferred the eastern part of the empire to Zipfel... Hmm. It could have been the smoke screen that they gave the East, or it could have been that they changed their stance after recognizing the power of the Garden of swords."

"I think it's the former, Sir Valkas. For some reason, I have a feeling that the imperial family may have made contact with Runcandel much sooner than we think. Since...… they possess a part of the body of the first patriarch, so they could have used it as a bargaining chip."

Valeria herself had not found out exactly when the Imperial Family had betrayed Zipfel. It was not a particularly important issue.

-From what we've seen, Temar Runcandel's body itself is no different from a collection of information from ancient magic in its own right. Because the deal went wrong, we didn't have a chance to properly analyze it.

The words Jin heard from Kinzelo when sharing the spatial-time device.

"Jin, you said you saw a huge number of magic swordsman living golems in Zipfel's holy land."

"Yes, Miss Cuicantelle. We cannot exclude the possibility that they shared the left arm with both the Garden of Swords and the Zipfel. Maybe that's why Zipfel didn't notice the betrayal of the imperial family at all."

"... He cannot rest even after a thousand years. His body is being torn apart and sent here and there. It's almost a relief that Murakan isn't here."

"What does it mean that the Sword Emperor is in danger?"

"Valeria said that she killed some of the imperial pursuers that she encountered and examined their records. Among them, there was this content."

<Runcandel gave the monster...… to Airan Vermont, Vermont imperial family, kill Dante Hairan, sword emperor.>

"Airan Vermont was ranked 30th in the succession of the imperial family before the death of Amir. Neither I nor Alisa know the details about him, but he wasn't a notable figure. He seems to have been Runcandel's primary contact."

Kashmir had little contact with Amir and Airan during his time in the imperial palace. 

There was hardly any chance of meeting due to the difference in rank, and in the first place, the imperial family had a strong tendency to hide themselves as much as possible even among members of the same imperial family.

"Since it means he's practically a new person, we need to start collecting information about him from the beginning."

"Don't worry, my lord! I'll find out everything about that Vermont guy, even his underwear color."

"By the way, does giving away a monster mean... referring to the knights of Runcandel, who are affected by chaos? It's strange that the name of the person who gave away the monster isn't mentioned."

"There is one person who immediately comes to mind."

Jin said with narrowed eyes.

"Joshua Runcandel… I have a strong hunch that he's the one."

"Young master, that damn dog... ahem, the worthless son of a bitch! Did Rosa reinstate him again?"

Jin smiled at Gilly's furious reaction.

"Since the rebellion succeeded while my father was absent, there is no reason to abandon a well-behaved dog. Although he used to be like trash before, he could have changed now. Or rather, he might have been forced to change through chaos."

"It's a dirty and depraved story. Just thinking about him and Rosa makes my heart ache so much that it's hard to bear."

"But if it's Joshua, is there a reason why his name wouldn't appear in the record magic?"

"Well, it could be because he accepted the chaos and became a completely new existence. Of course, I can't be sure, it's just a hunch."

"Anyway, it seems like there are three things we need to start right now. The first is to look at the Sword emperor castle, and the second is to rescue the remaining allies inside Huphester. And finally...should we enter the sixth tomb that Valeria found?"

Jin nodded at Cuicantelle's conclusion.

"That's right. It seems like I have to personally take care of all three."

The remaining significant allies within Huphester were Vin Blanche and Picon Minche, the blacksmith god who contracted with him.

In addition, there were several individuals who were presumed not to have sided with Rosa, such as Petro, Jin's butler, and Heinz, Chiron's butler, and the nanny and family of the 'siblings', various people who were presumed not to have joined Rosa, and the Colon natives in Luna's territory.

However, there weren't many individuals who could be of practical help, aside from high-ranking officials such as Vin Branche. But even if they weren't a source of power, Jin couldn't just leave them alone. 

That's not the way of Jin and Vamel alliance. Most of all, the Garden of Swords didn't seem to care about them right now for some reason, but it was still uncertain when Rosa might use them as hostages.

"No, it's probably best for you to stay out of the rescue mission within the Huphester."

"I think so too, young master."

"Young master, I think so too!"

Jin's companions unanimously opposed his re-entry into Huphester.

"It is close to a miracle that you came back safely from the Kaldran snowfield this time. You are the leader of the Vamel Alliance, the center of the Temporary Alliance, and only opponent of Rosa. So, until the day comes when we decide to go against Rosa, don't even think about going to Huphester yourself."

As Jin was about to answer, Mary put her hand on his shoulder.

"Yes, youngest. I know you're the strongest of us, and therefore you try to bear more than your fair share of the burden. But that doesn't mean you have to be involved in everything. Even our father didn't do that. Well, maybe he couldn't."

"Elder Sister."

"I'll put together a team to rescue the Huphester insider. I'm saying this in advance in case you're worried, but in the process, even if it's big brother Diphus...… I will never lose my cool even if I see that my big brother Diphus has become like elder sister Luntia."

"I will ask for help from nameless. Although almost all personnel are looking for elder sister Yona, I'm sure a few people will help."

Jin was unable to persist in front of the stubborn attitude of his siblings and companions.

"All right. Since I have to move personally for the matter of the Sword emperor castle and Temar's tombs, I thought it was too much to do it myself, but I guess it's time to say it out loud."

"Are you planning to go right away to sword emperor castle?"

"Yes, I plan to go once Valeria wakes up and hears the rest of the story."

Valeria had lost consciousness due to remaining chaos on the way back and had not been able to inform Jin of the information about the sixth tomb.

"I see."

"I miss Dante very much."

Since returning from Laprarosa, Jin has yet to meet Dante. It was because there had been constant incidents since his return.

Moreover, just as Jin had personally intervened in almost everything in Vamel alliance, in the Empire, Dante played that role.

Currently, except for Dante, there were hardly any individuals left at the level of superhumans in the Empire.

As the empire's best talents were lost at the time of the Glyek subjugation, Dante had a lot of responsibility to take on.

Perhaps because the shock he received from Veradin was great, just the thought of meeting Dante soon gave Jin a comforting feeling, even though it wasn't for a good reason.

Even if some crisis befell Dante, Jin felt confident that he could handle it.

"I hope I can meet a friend and cool my head without any trouble for a while."

"That's right, Young master. If the person in the record that Miss Valeria found is that level, then no matter what they do, they won't be able to threaten the young master."

Of course, Gilly wasn't really worried, but her words weren't insincere either. It was just difficult for his companions to imagine Jin in a crisis because of Joshua.

Someone found the meeting room.

It was Qwaul and Valeria.

Qwaul had been waiting in front of Valeria's hospital room, piling up cigarette butts like a mountain until she woke up, and had brought her with him.

"Uhhhh!"

Suddenly, Qwaul hugged Jin and burst into tears. No one had ever imagined that this rough and unrefined engineer could cry so pitifully.

"Good job... Well done! You really saved our Valeria...…!"

Jin's companions had already recognized this fact, they comforted him for a while, feeling sorry for Qwaul's crying appearance.

Valeria also did not say anything despite opening her eyes wide at Qwaul's reaction.

"Huhuhuhuk, even the chaos has completely disappeared!"

"I couldn't tell you everything as I lost consciousness because of the chaos, Jin. How far did I tell you?"

"It was the location of the sixth tomb."

"Ah, it was. right. The place where the sixth tomb of Temar exists is not a region, Jin."

"Not a region? Do you mean subspace?"

Valeria responded by nodding her head.

"Yes, it is a subspace. However, it is not a region, but a sub-space that exists in a certain sword."
