Chapter 776
Episode 190. Malliet Heister’s Legendary Place (6)
Jean and Valeria were walking on the beach.
Outside the lore ground, the sea surrounding Honka Island was dyed by the evening sun, and each wave rolled in red shining jewels.
-[I’ve never seen it before, but it’s an island, evening, night, scenery. Good, I heard. Successors, go out, get some fresh air, and wait. Here, it is cluttered.]
These were the words the golem said shortly after the rock-paper-scissors test. It was because Jen and Theben made a fuss about things that needed to be fixed before giving them the communications device.
Neither of them hated taking an unexpected walk for that reason.
Two people’s footprints were hanging out on the wet sand. The pleasant smell of the sea tickled the tips of their noses, and a cool breeze blew their hair.
“Shall I soak up to my ankles?”
Surprisingly, these were the words Valeria said while taking off her shoes. Jin nodded and stepped on the crashing waves with her bare feet.
Walking together like this reminded me of the good times in my previous life.
Sometimes as a teacher and disciple, sometimes as a friend, and sometimes as a closer feeling than that, the days when we wandered around the world.
However, looking back, even then, there was a solitude that was not shown to each other in each heart.
Jin was full of vengeance against his family and the desire for success that came from it, and Valeria sometimes acted like someone who would leave at any time because of Hester’s mission.
Because neither of them wanted to get hurt.
Jean was banished and lost Gilly, and Valeria lost a gray owl when she was young. The two of them didn’t want to give their hearts too deeply to anyone anymore in the memory of losing their family.
But not now. The two were completely open to each other and were walking together.
“I feel good, I think I often feel these days. I forgot about it for a long time until I met you and the other colleagues.”
“Because for you, revenge against Ziple and your mission as a hitter would have been everything.”
“Of course, even now they are the most important part of my life. I just feel that I am not alone in the world. If I had walked while watching this beautiful scenery alone, I wouldn’t have felt as good as I do now. I think it would have been rather lonely.”
Valeria had many such moments. From her young age, while wandering the world as a fugitive, she often explored all kinds of mysterious places untouched by humans alone.
However, I have never been so moved by any minister as I am now. No matter how beautiful the place was, it was no different from the achromatic landscape.
I had never seen such an honest side of Valeria in my previous life. Jin, for some reason, tickled her inside, so he looked away from her for a moment.
“He has grown up a lot. Thinking of the time from when we first met in Mamit until we settled down in Tikan.”
“Let’s say I was a teenager. I feel a little embarrassed when I think of myself.”
“Are you going to give your other colleagues more than before?”
“I intend to try. My co-workers already cared about me, even when I first came and was uncooperative every time.”
“okay? How are you going to try? Can you really do it?”
“Stop playing around.”
“I get it.”
Small crabs were scattering underfoot. The two of them sat and watched for a while, sometimes staring blankly at the sun sinking little by little into the sea.
“jin.”
“huh.”
“There are times when meeting you feels like destiny.”
Jin almost cleared his throat at the unexpected story.
“… … fate?”
“At Mamit, I said your name as soon as I saw you. I remember?”
“I remember.”
“At that time, you had already become a celebrity because of the Seongguk incident, so even if I called you by name as if I knew you first, you didn’t appear to be taken aback. By the way, I actually saw you before you were known to the world.”
“… … Were you looking at me?”
“I had a dream. From sometime ago, I dreamed of you appearing almost every day.”
Are you going to stay down like that?
go away.
It’s pathetic. Jin, your proud brothers will like it.
what are you how do you know my name
Looking at the remaining questions, I still have lingering attachments to the world. Follow me, I’ll forgive you for pointing a knife at the neck of the person who reached out to you.
As Valeria explained the dream, Jean’s eyes widened.
“A dream like that… … Did you keep dreaming?”
The dream was exactly the same as when Jin first met Valeria in his previous life.
“Furthermore, among the records I found in the lore sites of the past, there were also records that announced the future at the time, that those who sought me in 1795 and 1799 would find Mamit. He was you too.”
“A record that informs the future? Is that possible?”
“If it’s a perfect level of record magic, it’s possible, albeit in a limited way. However, unlike Azmil’s foreknowledge, peeking at future records in advance does not determine the future. If I hadn’t waited for you at Mamit after knowing the record, we wouldn’t have met.”
Jin couldn’t help but be more and more shocked.
According to Valeria, it was because there was a record that surpassed one’s return. Valeria’s dream of her is a record of her past life, and her current record is that Jin visits Ma Mit.
“You seem very surprised.”
“It has to be.”
“I was thinking that all of those dreams and records of the future were the arrangements and destiny left by my ancestors. Perhaps the records of the future seen by the ancestors said that I needed you to reach the end of my mission.”
It would have been impossible without Jin to find clues about the roots of the Histor family and the fairies, and to meet Leedt.
“And since I met you, sometimes. I also got the feeling that you know me well.”
-Steamed lamb with lots of peppers and onions, and beef intestine stew. This is a bit of pepper. and… … .
Before going to Wantaramo Forest together, the food Jin ordered at the restaurant was the gray owls’ favorite food. Naturally, it was also the food that Jin and Valeria often ate together in their previous lives.
It’s a common combination, but it was definitely strange that Jin ordered the same food down to the smallest detail.
Valeria stopped walking and looked back at Jin.
“jin. Do you have any secrets too?”
Thinking about how to answer, Jin met her eyes.
But Valeria didn’t ask to hear an answer. She was recalling a record of Jin saying ‘she has died once’.
“I’m sure that whatever the secret is, it won’t harm me or the world.”
“Valeria.”

“And I guess one day I will go through all the records about you. At that time, I hope you don’t reject my magic even if you’re a bit embarrassed.”
The sunset was coming to an end.
Valeria was smiling broadly, drenched in the sun’s final red light.
Seeing that, Jin forgot everything he had just heard.
He forgot to even breathe, just couldn’t take his eyes off Valeria. The smell of the sea became clear in her hair, making her head feel dizzy, and in front of her eyes, all outlines except Valeria’s were blurred.
One step closer to Valeria. Two steps, three steps, so close that their noses touch.
Valeria spread her arms and hugged Jean. Their cheeks were hot enough to melt. The sun had just set and a calm darkness fell over the island.
“… … It’s nice to meet you, Jin.”
“me too.”
For some reason, with his throat hanging, Jin answered like that.

It was around dawn when the two returned to the battleground again. It wasn’t until then that Theben and Zen’s work on the communication device was finished, and Honka and Shuri delivered the news.
[You’ve been waiting for a long time. successors. Did you have a good time?]
Jin and Valeria were embarrassed for some reason, so they evaded the golem.
[Walking, having fun, doing, looking. Master said that there are many beautiful places on Honka Island.]
[Hey, who takes a walk close to ten hours? This is called a date, Golem. Ancestors do things… … Well, we are losers, so we have no complaints.]
[Yes, I really have no complaints. If you guys who look like young sukmaek tell me in detail how the hell they spent their time.]
[It is not polite to ask such a thing.]
[what? manners? Just like us, stay in the battleground for 350 years! What a fun story this is!]
[I was only in the battlegrounds, too. That too, longer. And, other people’s love stories. usually. Interesting, story.]
[Teven, I hate that golem!]
[I hate it too!]
[If you don’t like it, challenge it, as much as you like, I’ll deal with it.]
Jenn and Theben briskly avoided the golem’s eyes, pulling out their communication devices.
The communication device was something that looked like a square board, and there were three in total.
[It is an ultra-long-distance communication device. It’s an object that makes it possible for lovers to have a conversation even at the end of the world… … .]
[Kuh… … Thinking that you guys will wake up and stir-fry this every day, your internal organs are twisted. But be happy! Descendants, you must have walked a lonely path.]
“I have no intention of using it for that purpose, but thank you. Ancestor.”
[What!? You don’t use it for that purpose? then i can’t give it If you are a lover, you should talk often!]
[Can’t you? You look ugly again, Theven. You still don’t know how to concede? What the hell is a guy like you?]
Jin and Valeria laughed at their harmless fools.
[How to use and how to make are all described in detail in this manual. Right now there are all three, but with materials and a good engineer, we can make more. Then go now! We will focus on rock-paper-scissors training again.]
[Now that I have passed on my burdens for a long time, I think I can feel more comfortable.]
Jin looked over the manual, then held out one of the communications devices to Jen and Theben.
“It would be good for you two to communicate with us from time to time. With the golem.”
“I’ll tell you the story of the outside world whenever you’re bored. It seems to be the only way I can repay my ancestors right now.”
At those words, Jen and Theben’s expression looked like they were going to burst into tears.
[Is that true?]
[We are insignificant losers… … Will you give me such recognition?]
“It’s not trivial at all, Ancestor. There is so much to be gained from our ancestors in this lore. Compared to the hard work the two of you have endured over the past three hundred and fifty years… … I haven’t done anything.”
[Our descendants are the best!]
[Neither of them are my descendants, but they are the best!]
Theben and Jen hugged the two and danced together. And Valeria met her eyes with her golem.
“I will give you a name.”
[oh… … Finally, my name. Come on, come on, decide, please.]
“Yelow Hester.”
The golem stopped moving for a while and was silent.
Perhaps Valeria was worried for a moment, wondering if she didn’t want to inherit the name of Elro to honor Maliette, but there was no need for that.
Mana was flowing like tears from the golem’s eyes.
[The name of the child, blessed by the master. and, family name, surname. Impressed, it is. I’m now, yelo, hyster. A member of the Heister family.]
“I’m glad you like it. Good luck in the future, Elro.”
Golem, no. Yiello scratched the back of her head shyly and shook Valeria’s hand. Then he took something out of her arms and held it out.
[This is, my, blueprint. make a brother Another one… … This is the master’s, vision, and magic book.]
In addition to the communication device, Yello’s blueprint and arcane spell book.
The journey in the lore that Malliet left behind was ending so richly.
