Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 593

Chapter 593

Episode 155. Again, to Lapra Rosa (1)

Quaul and Valeria seemed to communicate surprisingly well.

“Hey, I’m fine. That cold lady heard Kwaul very much, and put it on and off. The nobleman who used to yell loudly even at Nari cooks like a very docile sheep.”

Like the characteristic arrogant personality displayed in the cabin, Kwaul was the human version of Murakan.

When he introduced himself to his colleagues for the first time, he described himself as the most precious body in the world, and even pretended to hit everyone if he was offended because he would speak ill of everyone.

Of course, it wasn’t that he was malicious or genuinely looking down on his opponent, but he was just a little too aggressive like Murakan and had very good skills, so all his colleagues seemed to think so.

Even though he grumbled, he was especially kind to the kids, so there was no need to show his example.

However, as Jett said, he maintained a very upright and respectful attitude towards Valeria, so his colleagues reminded him of Murakan. It was like watching Murakan dealing with Jin when he had to get a limited edition of Chunhwa.

“… … Huh, that part was a problem solved by doing what you said! Yeah, I tried to make everything too technical.”

“This is a common mistake engineers make. It’s not even a matter of being a 5-star wizard to amplify the effect of the wand device.”

“Assuming you learned the magic formula I made in 10 minutes while talking to me. While working at Zipple, I had a lot of magical geniuses as assistants, but none of them came up with such an idea and made a ceremony on the spot. You are on a different level!”

“For an 8-star or higher wizard, it is possible to create more than ten effects with one stick device. Let’s just talk about this for today. It sounds like your head is complicated.”

“Yes! As you said, it seemed like we had to sort out the device improvements that came to mind right away. And, when is the next conversation? just tell me I guess I have to adjust my working hours to yours.”

“I’ll decide by evening and let you know.”

Quaul immediately took out a writing instrument and wrote something down, and his colleagues exclaimed in admiration at Valeria as they proudly turned around.

As a disciple, should I say that he was proud of his teacher? Jin felt better when he saw Valeria’s academic appearance after a long time.

“No one will be as lucky as you, Gene Runcandel. It’s not enough to receive my help, to enlist such a person.”

“Your virtue is great. One of the conditions that Kwaul-nim said was to have a record mage as an assistant. As I expected, it seems that it is not you who became my assistant, but Kwaul-sama.”

“As expected?”

Valeria met Jin’s eyes.

She was also conscious of Jin speaking as if he knew her well.

“Well, I couldn’t imagine you becoming someone’s assistant, so I did it.”

Jin also looked around, wanting to be sorry.

‘By the time the master acquires the level of record magic of his previous life… … Will you know my return?’

What kind of reaction Valeria would have then, like now, suddenly came up with a question like this, and my heart felt stuffy.

But on the other hand, I also thought that she was the only one who could fully reveal her secret.

If the day comes when Valeria can check all of ‘Jin Runkandel’s records’, and if she can share those records with her colleagues. You won’t need to add any explanation to all the work you’ve done.

As a regressor, Jin has some guilt or responsibility, though. There wasn’t a single thing that I didn’t feel proud of.

“Sometimes you talk like you know me well.”

At Valeria’s direct words, Jin calmly nodded.

“Anyone who has ever seen you would have thought like me. And as soon as you saw me, you called me by name as if you knew me.”

The two looked at each other for a while and were silent. Valeria remembered her Jean, whom she had seen in her dreams from a long time ago, and Jean remembered her from her previous life.

‘This Jet looks… … No matter how you look at it, it’s not normal. Has there ever been a time when you looked at someone of the opposite s*x with those eyes?’

‘At least as far as I know, there wasn’t, Jet.’

‘Yes? Lord Barkas, do you think the same as me? ha, this Our Miss Enya will burn her insides. What about the lady of the secret palace? If this comes to Thalaris-sama’s ears… … .’

‘You two, I’d better change the subject. I don’t know Miss Valeria, but at this distance, the young master might be listening.’

Just like what Gilly said, Jin was roughly understanding what Valkas and Jet were saying. Valeria hadn’t heard.

‘Even if he’s heard of it, he’s not the type to show interest or show off.’

Valeria naturally averted her gaze first.

“Anyway, I didn’t expect to bring an engineer like that in such a short time. Kwaul’s ability must be of great help to me in my personal affairs as well. Get me a room in Tikan. I guess I will have to spend a lot of time here.”

“Choose anything you like from among the empty rooms. Ask Gilina Jet for anything you need.”

“okay.”

“And Valeria.”

“why?”

“thanks.”

“what?”

“Not hurting Veradin and Sandra Ziple. It must have been a golden opportunity for you.”

“I didn’t just send it out of consideration for your relationship with them, so there’s no need for that. I just decided that keeping the two alive would be a bigger blow to Zipple in the future.”

It was a lie.

It was after the two of them left that Valeria checked the records that Veradin would not betray his friends.

It means that even Valeria couldn’t be sure of Veradin’s psychology until she saw that record.

Besides, no matter how sincere Veradin was, it could become a problem for her as well, depending on how Ziffle uses him in the future.

Therefore, Valeria just decided to put her trust in Jean.

“… … And it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen that kind of record. Right now, with my recording magic, it’s difficult to read the inside that is inherently so personal.”

“Then how?”

“It means that Veradin’s sincerity for you and Dante Hiran is deep enough to be recognized by my record magic. I hope he never forgets that heart and takes the lead in ending Zipple.”

Veradin’s goal is not the destruction of Ziffle, but purification.

Of course, Ziffle would be weaker than now, and Valeria planned to exterminate them then.

“I’ll tell you in advance, no matter how close someone is to you, they are just zips to me. Taking away my roots and family. Whatever point I bring down him and his family, if you stand in my way then. Our alliance ends there.”

Jean didn’t answer, and Valeria walked past him a moment later.

Looking at Seon Jin, Jet made a fuss about Na-ri, asking if he was dumped.

* * *

Late May 1800.

The conclusion of the armistice agreement between Runkandel and Zipple was officially announced. The place was the central square of the imperial capital, the very place where the emperor was executed.

Since the founding of the Empire, there had never been a larger crowd than this in the central square.

People from all over the world gathered to watch the announcement of the truce between the two families.

In Runcandel, the Black Knight Captain, Stam, and in Zipple, Octavia came out as the representative.

The public guessed that Shiron was in the Black Sea, so he sent other members of the same rank as representatives, but it was Runkandel’s consideration that the two announced the agreement. Unlike Rosa, Kelliac is still unable to move.

“… … This concludes the announcement of the agreement between the two families. On behalf of the Empire, I would like to thank the two families for making such a great decision. In addition, our empire, along with the two families, will do our best to reduce the suffering of the world.”

At the end of Dante’s speech as an inductee, cheers spread from the crowd. Just looking at the mood of the crowd, it felt more like an announcement than a ceasefire.

Contaminated areas continued to grow, and the crowd hoped that the powerful would restore the world as soon as possible, no matter who caused it.

However, warlords, aristocrats, and politicians who knew even a little about the situation were clearly aware that the current truce was a fake peace that lasted only a few years at most. In their eyes, the identification of friends and family only became clearer.

Dante stepped forward as an inductee, but all the participants in Hyran were on the Runkandel side, and the imperial family were all on the Ziple side.

After the announcement of the agreement, Hiran delivered the bodies and belongings of the two families, and Runcandel and Ziple returned to their respective lands and held a funeral ceremony.

A black flag expressing condolences had been hung in the Garden of Swords before. After the funeral ceremony, the number of swords stuck in the ground in the garden and the number of black helmets in the mausoleum increased.

And Jin visited Rosa’s office to have a private meeting.

After the war, today was the first time Jin returned to the Garden of Swords.

Originally, this was impossible, but the members of the family could not recklessly show their hostility to him.

Even the elders of the Black Sword Society didn’t seem to criticize Jin, who had finally returned to his family. There was a strict order from Rosa to behave well when Jin returns.

From the moment Rosa showed herself trying to save Jin by overdoing everything in the Geomwang Temple, in fact, Jin was no different than solidifying her status as the ‘next family head’.

“You are late.”

Rosa said in a dry voice. Jin was conscious of her gaze so as not to see the chaos of hers not covered by her clothes.

“There was a lot to do.”

“There should have been a harvest.”

It was a story about mechanical devices and blueprints. Rosa also wondered if Jin had found any clues about ‘chaos erosion’.

“You seem impatient, Mother.”

“Are you being rude to me now?”

“It’s just something I said out of concern.”

Rosa smiled.

“You seem to be concerned that I might make hasty negotiations with the Prophet, since the situation has become more urgent than you expected.”

“I will not deny it. I plan to leave Inse for a while after today.”

Rosa’s eyes narrowed at those words.
