Chapter 586
Episode 152. Quaul Ganesto (1)
Jin smiled inwardly. Even though he started shooting from the heavy artillery, it was the moment when it was revealed that Kwaul was not a person who could not talk at all.
Besides, isn’t it Jin’s specialty to answer questions and meet the conditions the opponent wants?
“Let’s start with the question.”
“How did you find out I was here?”
“I heard from Lord Talaris.”
“Talaris… … ?”
When Tingen heard her name, he tilted his head. Like it’s the first name you’ve ever heard.
Suddenly, Jin and Siris wondered if Quaul was a different person from Tingen that Talaris had talked about, but after a while, he was startled and said this.
“ah! Talaris. Yes, Talaris Kendorma!”
“Isn’t it Endorma?”
“Was it Endorma? that’s right… … There was such a woman… … .”
Not only Jin, but also Siris couldn’t help but be amazed at Quaul’s reaction as her eyes deepened as she recalled old memories.
In particular, Siris was feeling a kind of fresh shock beyond discomfort.
Although she never wanted to, Siris saw firsthand quite a few of the many humans who had been lovers of Talaris.
Each of them was pathetically attached to their mother. In severe cases, he even joked that he would end his life if he didn’t meet him, but of course, Talaris never reached out to his exes.
Siris had even personally dealt with those who were determined to tarnish the secret palace’s image by spreading excessive rumors about Thalaris, even in the most serious cases.
Siris also went to eliminate Talaris’s 307th boyfriend, Alkaro Cender, who was in Mamit when Jin was an intermediate cadet.
Jin and Siris first met there.
‘Mother… … You couldn’t even remember? what kind of human No, is that even possible?’
Even if you weren’t dating, Talaris is a character that is difficult to forget once you see it.
In the first place, the general public would never see her, and the pure white silver hair and atmosphere unique to the Endorma blood family had a mystery that no one else could feel.
But it seemed that Quawl had really forgotten her. No matter how you look at it, she wasn’t just a painting pretending to be oblivious.
“… … No, didn’t you already know? It was the energy of ice that blocked your shells until just now.”
The energy of full ice gave off a completely different feeling from ordinary ice barrier magic. However, Quawl clapped his hands as if he had just remembered that. There was even Mort the Blindfold.
“That’s right. Come to think of it, that friend uses the same power as Talaris Kendorma!”
“Endorma!”
Siris groaned.
Quawl continued to have sad eyes.
At this point, Siris wasn’t even angry.
“Oh, Mort. It’s been a while since my friend. Then you must be her daughter. Nice to meet you. This is Tingen Bauer.”
“go away.”
“And you must be her son-in-law, or a future son-in-law. Come to think of it, it seems like I heard that marriage talks are going back and forth between the 12 Horseman of Runkandel and the lady of the secret palace. Is Talaris doing well?”
As Jin was deciding what to answer, Quawl shook his head.
“No, heh! it’s okay. I am not curious about past love.”
“Ha, crazy.”
Aren’t the eyes too deep for that kind of thing… … Jin wanted to say that, but she stayed quiet, looking at Siris.
“Hmmmm, anyway, it would make sense if Talaris pointed me to this place. I mean, I remembered this place.”
Quaul seemed to have a lot of questions about Talaris, but he held it back.
Siris stepped aside, fearing that if she watched Quaul any longer, she would draw her sword.
Jin gave Kwaul time to organize his thoughts.
A few minutes later, Kwaul’s eyes flashed with wariness again. But it was much paler than the first.
“Next question. Finding out this log cabin and the pseudonym Tingenbauer made sense. By the way, how did you know my real name?”
“My informants found out.”
“I tell you in advance. If you play a joke or tell a lie, the conversation is over from that moment on.”
“You’re being strict.”
“Do you think that Runcandel’s information power will be superior to Zipple’s? Since you’re still only a 12 Horseman, your information power is not Runcandel, but the ability of the Barmal Alliance. I don’t understand how you’ve come to know my real name.”
One piece of information was implied in Quaul’s words.
‘Didn’t Zipple know Tingen Bauer’s real name, Quaul Ganesto?’
How do you know something that even Ziple doesn’t know? Quawl was asking that.
“It was my informant who found out your real name. The family doesn’t even know you exist or that I’m looking for you.”
Valeria could not be classified as a simple informant, but in a broader sense, she could also be classified as an informant for the Bamal Alliance, so it was not a lie.
Qaul stared at Jin for a while and was silent.
“Hmm, I don’t think you’re lying.”
That long eye contact was Quaul’s way of detecting lies. There seemed to be no basis, but once it was over, there was nothing bad for Jin.
“I also have a few questions I want to ask you.”
“Do it after I finish my question.”
“Why is Zipline’s engineer, the man behind the development of teleportation devices and blueprints for mass-produced ships, stuck in such a remote area? I can’t even see a wizard coming out to escort you to this point.”
Quaul didn’t really hate Jin’s behavior, ignoring his words and asking questions.
He thought that this side was better than the powerful people of Zipple, who used to show a servile appearance while carefully looking at themselves.
Perhaps that small favor was the price for making Jin remember his forgotten old love, but Quawl vehemently denied that fact.
“Even those rods that you seem to have made, they even have the ability to distract unmanned auras. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange that an engineer of your level is left unattended in a place like this.”
“Neglect? Did you say neglect? joy! You don’t know this body well. No one can redeem me.”
Somehow, at that point, Jin thought of a black dragon he knew well.
‘It reminds me of Murakan… … .’
If it’s good, it’s simple and unique, if it’s bad, it’s somewhat stupid and arrogant.
Jin hoped that Kwaul would also have that kind of element.

“Zipple released you, you mean?”
“I tried my best to like you, but you keep saying things that scratch your ego. Zipple? They were only serving me for a while because they coveted my ability. I never belonged to them.”
I seemed to know roughly.
‘Looks like Zipple isn’t taking care of this eccentric person. He is a human who will never cooperate if he goes against his will, so he must have no choice but to follow his will.’
Nothing was known about Tingen Bauer, this arrogant genius engineer.
Unless you got some of the gadgets and ship blueprints from Jindo Sota Desert, and Valeria wasn’t here, and he wasn’t related to Talaris. He probably wouldn’t have come to this place.
Even if it does come, it will be much later than now.
In addition, Kwaul has the ability to keep his body healthy against quite a few people, and Jiple is suffering from severe power shortages after the Sword Emperor’s Crusade.
‘But even so, the fact that Quaul Ganesto is left unattended is insufficient to explain. It must be because the surname Ganesto is not yet known to Ziffle.’
mind manipulation.
Suddenly, one of Ziple’s spells came to Jin’s mind. At least so far, it seems that Quaul has not been subjected to mind manipulation.
‘They’s mental manipulation isn’t perfect yet, so if you exclude it, it’s a little bit easier. Also, why was Quawl working with Zipple in the first place?’
Although he is not from the academy and his reputation is not known, it is clear that Quaul Ganesto is a genius engineer on a different level.
So, it was quite possible that he was caught in the eyes of Ziple by chance while demonstrating his ability.
‘It’s not just a person to be embraced. If you just needed high-tech engineering equipment or resource support, there’s a good chance you’d have used the academy in the first place.’
Ziple made something attractive to Kwaul.
To the extent that he trembles when it comes to redemption, and puts an enemy on the zip for a while.
Jin came to that conclusion.
“Perhaps you were working with Zipple because there was something that appealed to you? For things like the development of teleportation devices and mass-produced warships, the desire as a pure scholar worked.”
“Think about that part as you like.”
It seemed to mean so.
Originally, upon hearing Quawl’s answer, Jin would have felt a bit blocked.
Because the Runkandel and Bamal Alliance did not have a business ready to go beyond teleportation devices and mass production ships.
But now the story is different.
There is a magic suction spray type all-weather magic breaker, something that Amela affirmed to be a masterpiece of ancient artifacts, and some of the ship blueprints and parts of the teleportation device are also her own.
Particularly, the parts and blueprints were clearly a masterpiece among the masterpieces even to Quawl.
“I ask straight forward, Quaul Ganesto. If I could make you an offer as attractive as Zipple, would you work with me?”
“There’s no way that’s possible.”
“Do you want to hear the story? You said you would consider answering the questions in the first place and leaving the cabin if the conditions were met?”
“Even though I said so, I don’t really have any expectations. If you’re thinking of moving me through torture or something like that, feel free to do it. If you do that, you will become sinners in the world who will lag behind the development of this world by hundreds of years.”
Jin didn’t respond to that, just took out a mechanical device from his chest and held it out to Kwaul.
“I thought you wanted to finish this thing, but I guess I was wrong.”
Then, Quawl’s eyes widened.
“What, what! Why do you have that!?”
Jin couldn’t help but smile once again.
