Chapter 584
Episode 151. Organize the situation (4)
* * *
Top of the story.
“There was a laboratory in the middle of the empire… … .”
Gruntingly, Octavia gritted her teeth. As if she had not yet escaped the aftermath of the war, her magical bandages were wrapped around her body, and various retaining devices were connected to her back.
The black spots visible through the bandages were thick. She went through the encroachment of chaos as well as the super regeneration by the demon stone, so she had to use a maintenance device every day for the time being.
“The Imperial Family, the livers of those wicked bastards are bigger than I thought. Isn’t the capital of the empire a place where our wizards come and go every day?”
Kadun beside her was also letting go of his anger.
Hedo smoked a cigarette with a calm face.
He’s just keeping his composure because he really doesn’t have much of an idea, but it didn’t look like that in the eyes of Octavia and Cardun.
It is mistaken as if he is displaying superhuman patience and examining the situation coolly.
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s fortunate that the imperial family still has a trump card. So calm down, Kadun. And the ghost captain.”
At Hedo’s words, Kadun and Octavia cleared their throats as if embarrassed.
“… … Lord Hedo is right. He looked ashamed.”
“okay… … Since they are cornered, they will reach out to us again without shame.”
A cataclysm occurred in the world situation after the sword war.
Now, the era has arrived where it is impossible to say for sure that Zipple is the only family standing at the top.
Of course, they did not completely lose their position as the No. 1 family, but the world’s great powers did not know the exact situation of their respective damages. I can only guess that it is beyond my imagination.
Therefore, the two families had to look out for each other and reinforce their strength as soon as possible, at any cost.
Even in Runcandel, Shiron is still alive and well.
It was a foregone fact that he had entered the realm of the 5 kings of the Black Sea, but as Ziffle, he had to assume the possibility that he could return to the continent at any time, and the existence of the Prophet was also a concern.
In that sense, Ziple had no choice but to be coveted by the royal family’s magic technology.
In any case, the imperial family could not conspire with Runcandel. It was because Jin was there, and even if Rosa ignored him and asked for an alliance first, it was an offer that was unattractive to the imperial family. Runkandel would have no magic engineering skills at all.
Above all, the royal family has maintained a closer relationship with Zipple than with Runcandel.
Although it took the form of hitting the back of the head once with the Geomhwang Temple, they were in a position where they needed each other now.
“you’re right. The Imperial family’s tail cutting failed due to the Runkandel 12 Horsemen, so they have no choice but to rely on us. Any negotiations can be carried out on favorable terms. It is not something to be angry about, but rather to welcome.”
Jiple doesn’t know exactly what Mine’s power is. It was highly likely that the information about having super regenerative abilities beyond the 9-star articles spread by the losing press was an exaggeration.
Even so, he thought that there must be a reason why the imperial family dared to deceive them. As for combat power, it’s enough to look at samples directly during negotiations.
“It’s not too late to punish them after their skills are taken away and the family recovers.”
“But one strange thing is, how the hell did the 12 Horsemen of Runkandel know the location of the laboratory? There’s no way the family could have had less intelligence than that.”
Octavia nodded at Hedo’s words.
“I think it’s because Hester’s survivors are with the Twelve Horsemen. From the moment the 12th Horseman destroyed the great magic of the housekeeper in the war, it was as if it was confirmed that he and the Record Wizard were together.”
In the annihilation, cancer, and flame jade, type 2 demon, in the temple of the sword emperor, Jin showed the appearance of easily breaking the magic as if he already knew it.
Octavia’s gaze landed on another retainer behind her.
There, the Beradin Ziple that tried to runaway was sealed. He has not regained consciousness even once since the beginning of the sword battle.
Even Octavia and Beradin weren’t the only two who were helped by the maintenance device.
The retaining device on the top floor of the Tower of Stories contains Keliac.
In other words, Zipline was facing its worst time in a thousand years.
“It was at the point where Kelliac finally declared that he would personally find the survivors of Heister, but Misha the Black Dragon and the survivors of Heister were also damn lucky.”
“First of all, we will have to wait for the imperial family to contact us. And when that child wakes up… … I’ll have to ask him to meet with the 12 Horsemen of Runcandel.”
“Octavia, no matter how close the 12th Horseman of Runcandel is to the Beradin guy. Are you going to spit out information about Hester?”
“There is nothing wrong with trying, Master Kadun. Anyway, the 12th Horseman will also be curious about the condition of Beradin, so he will never avoid the meeting.”
As the conversation progressed like that, Hedo was a bit perplexed. It was because before attending this meeting, he had a favor from Sandra Ziple.
-Auntie will definitely make Beradin meet Jin when he wakes up. Hedo tells me that I will go with you then.
– No, lady.
– Okay.
– The lady is actually doing a transfer act whenever she meets the 12 horseman. So far, the head of household has closed her eyes, but if it continues.
-ah! I have an idea too. You say the record wizard is with you? If so, Auntie wouldn’t be able to send Radin’s mind in a manipulated state, so there would be a little anxiety. Because you don’t know what Radin will say! I’m going to assume that surveillance role.
-From my point of view, I think the lady’s mouth is more of a problem.
-Anyway, tell me that. end of story.
Whoa… … .
Hedo let out a deep sigh along with the smoke from his cigarette. Unable to do anything, he finally got lucky.
“Wraith Captain, how about sending Lady Sandra with Prince Beradin?”
If anyone else had said it, Octavia would have considered it unworthy of listening.
“Why do you think so? Lord Hedo.”
“I think we need to keep an eye on Prince Beradin. What memories he regained or lost due to this runaway attempt. We can’t figure it out quickly, and there’s a possibility that Hester’s survivors can check whether Prince Beradin’s mind was manipulated.”
“That makes sense. But with that kind of role, it’s not a bomb like Sandra, but a more reliable person… … .”
“If you send the right person, it will be difficult to avoid the suspicion of the 12 Horsemen. Naturally, the scope of the conversation between the two of you will also narrow.”
Hedo felt that there was something lacking in what he said, but he thought it would be better than dealing with Sandra’s rampage later.
But surprisingly, Octavia and Cardun readily accepted his opinion.
“I’d rather do as you say. I heard that there is a strange air current flowing between Runkandel 12 riders and Sandra? That might help again. And even if it wasn’t a record wizard, the 12 Horseman had a contract with Az Mill. Recognizing mind manipulation is not a job.”
The strange current was Sandra’s one-sided love attack, and the 12th Horseman wanted to answer that there was no way he would lose his cool, but Hedo just stayed quiet.
“I understand, Sir Hedo. As soon as Veradin wakes up, tell Sandra to get ready.”
I would have been more comfortable if I had been rejected.
Hedo just nodded his head with an awkward smile.

Of course, Talaris hadn’t expected at all that her seventy-seventh lover of thirty years ago would still be living in a log cabin in the outskirts of Palin Kingdom.

Giving Mort away was just an expectation that her daughter and son-in-law would really go on a date.
A young man and woman, a remote country, an old log cabin that may still be standing. There are few conditions that are better for love to occur than that.
Boong-!
As Talaris had hoped, the scenery seen when the pure white portal opened was very romantic.
In the dense forest without a single sunlight, the bent trees formed a hemispherical space, and in the middle of it, an old log house that looks like a picture is standing.
“Oji seems to be remote. To think that the log cabin that Mr. Talaris was talking about actually exists.”
“Huh, Mort. Your mother’s errands are no small part of your responsibility. If she didn’t have the ability to move in four dimensions, she would have had half her mother’s lover.”
[Booh, boohong… … .]
“Anyway, I can’t see anything particularly damaged here, so I can take a look and go back soon.”
“Yes, Mr. Siris.”
Contrary to Talaris’ expectations, the two looked like people who came to do ‘work’, looking straight ahead.
‘If I knew it would be this easy to get clues about Quaul Ganesto, I would have asked Valeria to accompany me all the way here.’
If there was record magic, he would have been able to easily look at the records that Kwaul left here without having to search every nook and cranny of this outback.
If I couldn’t find any other information, I thought it would be a good idea to come back with Valeria later.
However, as soon as the two entered the log cabin, they could find traces of people living there.
There was a strong smell of cigarettes in addition to the faint smell of food, as if they had eaten a few hours ago.
There were so many butts and empty bottles on the floor that there was no room to step on.
“… … Are people living there? Surely, it’s not the person called Quaul Ganesto.”
“It should be good for Quaul Ganesto, but I think it’s rather uneasy because it worked out so well.”
“Not long ago, no. Maybe he’s still working as an engineer for Zipple, so there’s no way he’s living in a place like this. Without an escort.”
“But let’s wait and see who it is.”
“Motte, take a look around you. Hide and move… … .”
Siris, who was talking to Mort through the window, suddenly stopped talking. It was because I could see a person walking from the back of the motte, over there.
He looked like a stereotypical bandit with a bushy beard, bald hair, and as soon as he saw it, Siris abandoned any expectations that he was a quawl. It was because his mother’s taste was nowhere to be seen in his appearance.
But the next moment, he shouted at the two of them and took something out of his arms.
‘… … A small magic cannon?’
Kikik, Kiririk-!
The magic cannon he took out looked small at first, but as the parts moved, it quickly transformed into a medium-sized or larger size.
“What is it, you guys?”
