“Argh!”
“Ughhhhhhhhhhh!”
Uneducated aristocrats and merchants screamed reflexively. They mistook Rata for attacking the camp, and even after seeing the index finger of the fallen Rata, it was difficult to grasp the situation straight away.
“What is this, Rata Prochi!”
“This is the Sword Garden!”
The eyes of the guardian knights pointed a sword at Rata’s neck were glistening. Ten swords were strangling their necks, but the guards felt it.
The fact that if Rata were willing, they would be able to strike out all the swords they aimed at and move freely.
‘A ghost captain, a man more dangerous than rumors. You’re overwhelming us even with my index finger cut naked.’
‘It’s a shame he cut off his finger, if he’d hit the 12th…….’
The guardian knights, who thought so far, shook their heads inside.
‘I’m sure everything’s okay. A 12-year-old is no ordinary monster.’
Sticky blood flowed down from the surface of Rata’s index finger, and Jean looked at it without moving.
What are you doing?
Jean didn’t ask such a question. I just waited with an expressionless face. Let Rata first explain the reason for his actions.
That’s why he suddenly took out his weapons, and the side that made the sudden move even at Latime. On the contrary, Jin showed even more strange power.
The weight is different in the first place. Jin has an indescribable dignity, regardless of his majesty…….
That’s how Rata felt. To the wonder of why he realized it so late, Qin had something clearly different from the other divinity he had met so far.
“I will introduce myself formally again, you know. This body is Rata Prochi, the master of the Necropolis and the head of the Killer’s Guild.”
The polite way of speaking made those in the hall surprised once again.
It was a natural response because all of them had heard rumors about the ghost leader once or twice. That was the image of the king of brutal killers, who had no blood or tears, the ghost captain, which the ordinary public thought was.
“12th Runkandel. Jean Runkandel.”
“I came to you today to apologize for the rudeness I had committed in the last city of Geomhwang.”

“So you cut your index finger?”
“Yes.”
The loss of one index finger did not cause serious damage to Rata’s ignorance. For those who are already on the right track, this level of disability is no problem.
However, Rata’s cut of her index finger meant that she would pay for the blood.
“Get rid of the sword.”
Under Qin’s command, the guards pulled out the sword that touched Rata’s neck.
“Sir Rata.”
“Speak.”
“There is no grudge between you and me. So you don’t have to apologize to me, and your fingers have no value to me.”
Rata’s eyes trembled.
But it wasn’t quivering under disgrace or insult. The feeling in his eyes seemed closer to anxiety.
“……even if I cut a few more?”
No, why do you keep trying to cut your finger?
Instead of asking like that, I chose a different answer.
“You can cut your arms, not your fingers.”
“Shame on you, I should have prepared something else. How can I cover up my mistakes? Tell me, I’ll try to get as many things as I can.”
Those in the hall were now at the point of exchanging glances. Are you sure he’s the ghost captain? Everyone responded like that, and the guardian knights were not able to express their feelings, but they were quite shocked.
Even Jin could not help but feel embarrassed inside.
‘Lata Prochi, I don’t think it’s a character like this. Why are you so obedient?’
It was no different why Jean now treats Rata rather coldly.
A kind of human being like a lata. In other words, the attitude was derived from the judgment that it needed to look scary and difficult when dealing with a beastly character.
The beast thought that he needed to know that he was clearly superior to Rata, as the order was very important.
Jin was therefore anticipating another duel with Rata in the process.
Jin was actually the winner of the battle at Geomhwangseong Fortress, but the result was that the victory or defeat was not decided because of terrorism.
‘If Rata were furious with my attitude, I would have fought a duel with it.’
Of course, the picture of defeating the ghost captain in front of everyone in the family was not bad.
Then, they acknowledge each other and create a warm atmosphere, and naturally announce that they are receiving a lot of favor from the ghosts.
That’s what Jean wanted from this meeting.
‘If this comes out, we don’t have to fight.’
Without having to duel again and kneel down, Rata was clearly low-key by anyone’s eyes.
‘Then during his stay in the city of Geomhwang after the terrorist attacks, Rata kept hovering around me. I thought you were trying to ask for Pei’s release on different terms, but were you looking for a chance to apologize to me?’
Ttuk, ttuk. The thick drops of blood flowing from Rata’s index finger continued to color the floor.
“Sir Rata, I honestly thought you’d pick me up again.”
“I’m not that stupid. That’s when I realized I wasn’t the black sheep to fight the 12.”
In the end, the words made people buzz.
‘What’s that noise?’
‘At the time of the Black Star attack, the two fought a duel. There was a rumor that the 12th grader had the upper hand.’
‘However, can there be such a big difference that the ghost captain says so?’
At the time of the duel, many fighters had the upper hand of Rata over Jin, so the “12th Runkandel” and “The Ghost Captain” were originally more weighty positions for the latter.
“Then Lord Rata should not apologize to me, but repay my debts. Do you remember?”
You want to bet on a duel?
Don’t you have someone to look for in me?
I’ll take the blood before I kill you.
Blood letter or whatever. If you win, I’ll give you whatever you want. It means that I can take my life or do anything that can insult me with just my breath. Only if I win. Ghost University must carry out one of my requests.
Jean said, recalling the conversation at the time of the duel.

“Of course, I remember.”
“To fulfill my request, Sir Rata needs to be stronger than she is now. It’s not the time to cut your fingers. However, I wonder if you’re really someone who can handle my request. Guardians, quickly escort the medical director to my room.”
“Yes!”
Tzu-jeokay!
Jin then took care of Rata’s fingers, which had fallen, by performing the ice seal magic.
“Follow me.”
On the way out of the drawing room, there suddenly was a strong vibration inside the sword’s garden. It was not a natural phenomenon like an earthquake, but a phenomenon that happened when someone used enormous power.
Besides, the sky is dyed in pitch-black darkness.
Rata has already experienced this phenomenon once. When Murakan revealed his power in the Geomhwangseong Fortress.
“This is your guardian dragon…….”
“Oh, I think it’s started. You don’t have to worry.”
I was wondering what started, but Rata didn’t ask me any more. Since Jean didn’t seem to want it.
On his way to the room, Jean wondered what the hell Rata was thinking about.
‘I hope you don’t show up like this without thinking.’
The head of the medical center called by the guardian driver arrived in the room first and was waiting. In a flash he glued Rata’s finger and disappeared.
“……thank you.”
“No thanks, let’s just listen. Why are you doing this?”
“What?”
“Sir Rata, whom I remember, was quite hostile to me, and he was very careless. So I almost humiliated myself by fighting a duel.”
“Hmm, hmm! That’s…….”
“Tell me why your attitude has suddenly changed so suddenly. Without a convincing explanation, I will not accept the price of victory from you.”
Rata’s eyes grew bigger. And soon, as determined, nodded and opened his mouth.
“I have a crush on a man named Jean Looncandel.”
Jean almost spewed out the tea that Gilly had brought out.
“I have a crush on you, I don’t understand that. For all that and all that’s all.
Qin, who narrows the middle of the forehead and connects the back of the horse. The face was angry for the first time.
“The elders of my family would have commissioned the ghosthood to assassinate me. Then you’ll have to make up for your failure and do your request again, does it make sense for you to stick with me?”
Seriously, if Rata is a jerk who does this just because he’s in love. Jean had no intention of accepting him as a ally.
“It doesn’t make sense. Not if I’m a man of no family like you. But Lord Qin, I’m just a knife-eating mercenary. Despicable and acted like a depraved beast that it doesn’t matter. If it’s like this these days, even more.”
“Such a situation these days? Keep talking.”
“I fought a battle with Gyeonge, and together we went through the terror of the Imperial City. After that, he stayed in Geomhwangseong for about 15 days and watched how the incident went. As a result, I was able to come to a conclusion.”
“What’s the conclusion?”
“The fact that if the ghosthood is to survive, it must no longer be neutral.”
Alliance? Ghosts don’t hold hands with any of the forces. We only have a client and a client. Jean Looncandel, apply for a duel.
That was not only what Rata said at the banquet, but also a direct denial of the value that the mercenary group called Ghosts has kept.
“It was a special day. It was a moment when I realized my arrogance through a duel with you, and I was convinced that the future war and power structure would flow in a completely different form than I had ever known.”
A cave and a mare, a biogolem, a giant ship, a wizard whose body is transformed, and a horse race that has shown overwhelming power by regenerating all that.
As Rata said, the attacks that Kinselo committed on that day were in the form of breaking the common sense that most people had ever had.
“And yet the imperial family did not protect the Highlands afterwards. Even though such a crazy group destroyed the planet. As if the Imperial City, where Lord Ron is, is of little use to the imperial family.”
“The Emperor may have thought it was a good opportunity to keep Hai Lan in check.”
“For that to think of it, Lord Ron has too much power. The imperial family must have been trying to throw away the High Ran because they’ve already prepared something. The imperial family is ready for that, but I was wondering if you’d like a jiffle or a looncandel. Kinselo showed his own strength.”
Since that day, Rata has had a premonition that a “new era” has opened.
A time has opened when it is difficult to continue to be a pure warrior and a mercenary group. Even Ron Heilan is treated as unnecessary, and not to mention a ghost.
That’s why they decided that they should choose who will take the hegemony of the new era and form a strong alliance with him.
“In that sense, I’m sure Lord Qin will be the loser of Looncandel in the future. That’s why I came here to be with you. Has this been a convincing explanation?”
