Chapter 821
Episode 205. Call of the Story (3)
October 27, 1805.
Two days have passed since Elona’s seal was broken. Talaris had been going back and forth between the Secret Palace and the Holy Kingdom ever since Elona escaped. It was because he could not stop rebuilding the damaged part of the Secret Palace and maintaining Jito’s seal.
“I thought it would end up like this someday, but… … Now that the seal is broken in my generation, my pride is hurt.”
Thalaris sighed. While sitting still, she was channeling her full power all over the secret palace. The power of all ice permeated and the destroyed parts of the Secret Palace were restored little by little.
“Hmm, at least it’s fortunate that now isn’t such a bad time. It is an era when our son-in-law, Runkandel, and Barmal are firmly standing. Huhu, I guess it’s the result of investing in my son-in-law’s cotyledon early on… … Ew, damn it! Why did you wake up in my generation, damn it, damn it.”
“Fix it, mother.”
“daughter! Does it look like it doesn’t run out of heat? How much did I struggle to stop that seal? of course! will wake up someday Like I told my son-in-law the other day, it seemed inevitable that Jito and her wake up. But it could have been a bit later, right? Like a thousand years later.”
The small beasts nearby watched Talaris as they approached. Then, breaking out in a cold sweat for no reason, I rubbed Talaris’ shoulders and back hard.
[I don’t know if it will be comforting, but this body also knows how you feel. It’s good not to beat yourself up too much and think about the future. Maybe this body protected the boundary between the ground and the underground, the Bongma Wall… … It must be at least hundreds of times older than you. Still, don’t you try to think positively?]
“Ugh, I’m just a human being, so it’s hard for me to have a bold mind like Ameris-sama.”
There is no choice but to be released from the seal one day.
Clearly, Talaris thought of Elona that way, but she couldn’t help but feel the pain when she faced the reality.
Talaris was the one who hid the existence of Elona Ziple until the very end, even in such a desperate situation during the Gleeek War. Maintaining Elona’s seal is the greatest task that the lord of the palace must be responsible for.
[As you said, the timing isn’t too bad. Maybe it’s a good time beyond that. Wasn’t the magician Elona Ziple also a burden that must be dealt with someday? In that respect, now is not the time.]
“That’s what I think too, Mistress. When Elona Ziple just woke up, I lost my temper too. So I tried to keep the seal somehow, even at the cost of my life, but now that I think about it, it worked out better. If I had died fighting against Elona two days ago, my damn brother would never have returned to the royalties again.”
As Ameris and Misha patted each other on the shoulder to comfort them, Talaris couldn’t express her anger any more. They were the ones who had sacrificed themselves for the balance and order of the world for a longer time than they did.
“It is very fortunate that there were no casualties in the secret palace. Lord Ruyle’s arm was also restored, and the internal wounds of the others were not fatal. And I agree that the timing of Elona’s awakening isn’t too bad. It will be difficult to start another war of conquest using Elona Ziple because Ziple is an enemy.”
As Jin said, Valeria nodded.
“The records left by Elona Zipple are quite hopeful. As soon as she awoke, she was conscious of wanting to avoid killing her as much as possible, and she was confused about the righteousness of her own existence.”
Valeria opened the record window.
“I think I made a decision when I got out of the secret palace, but Elona Ziple is definitely not in a normal state. As seen in the past Jin’s documentary video, a psychology that can’t be seen as a ruthless slayer appeared. Perhaps, like Beradin Ziple, Elona may also have an inner problem after being used by Ziple. There is a possibility that she will not fall under the control of Ziffle as easily as she thinks.”
[This is how this body looks. The mortal did not become stronger through training and experience alone. If you climbed to Changseong like that, you can’t be so soft on the inside. There is a high possibility that it is the existence of the sun god’s strongest thoughts. A thought incomparably stronger than that of the Veil or Hedo.]
Ameris was so sure. Otherwise, Elona couldn’t explain her power. She didn’t reach the window normally, but she was born with special abilities like Jonah.
“The strangest thing is that the history of Elona Ziple had been erased before. The culprits who fabricated history must have been Ziffle, so maybe Elona was their uncle. There is no way the proud family archmage has been erased from history.”
For the Barmal Union, that was the best assumption.
If there was some kind of problem between Elona and Zipple and there was history fabrication as a result, there would be no reason for Elona to fight for Zipple.
Of course, the sudden appearance of an uncontrollable creation wizard was extremely burdensome. The fact that Elona left for the Tower of Story was also recorded in the record, so right now, Ziffle’s power rose dramatically.
[First of all, I need to keep an eye on the situation. Unless Zipline goes crazy, we won’t attack our alliance with Elona at the fore in this situation.]
Even with the creation of the wizard, Ziffle was in a situation where he could not carelessly touch the Barmal Union. There were too many variables, too many. Invasion of enemy tribes, complete control of Elona, etc.
In particular, the ‘power of the Bamal Alliance’ itself was burdensome. It cannot be judged that Elona will be able to overwhelm the fighting spirit half and Murakan’s armed forces revealed in the bust.
“Huh, among the magic Elona Ziple used, there was something that limited movement in space. Because of that, neither I nor my son-in-law could come to the secret palace right away. If that works for the enemy, then they should be tight-fisted even when attacking other areas, not just the Tower of Stories.”
[That means, on the other hand, that Elona can’t leave the federation as well if it’s too bad.]
“I guess so. By the way, do the enemy tribesmen have the ability to deal with such a monster? Looking at their stats so far, they seem to be a bit weak against top-level superhumans. I was afraid of my son-in-law, so I decided not to touch the Barmal Union at all.”
[There will be. Up until now, I’ve been hit by top-level superhumans and demon stones, but the enemy tribes haven’t regained their prime yet. Among the characters, it seems that there is no one who can fight with Elona except for Tatsushin and Bakarun Jung, but the story will be different if the aerial fortress is added.]
“That thing that is on a different level from an airplane. I heard that during the last invasion, the Commonwealth’s borough of Rethrit was razed to the ground in an instant.”
[It is not always possible to win a war just because you have a powerful individual. The enemy people are really tenacious and terrible.]
“But the enemy tribe was afraid of the son-in-law, so they decided to aim for the jiple, not the union. What if Elona Ziple is stronger than her son-in-law in the eyes of the enemy? So, might the enemy tribe change the invasion target from Federation to Alliance?”
[I wouldn’t do that. Unless Jiple is in a state where he can move dimensions freely like our union. No matter how strong Elona Ziple is, it cannot support the invasion area faster than Jin.]
According to the records so far, Elona’s power in her prime is estimated to be equal to or higher than that of Temar.
However, there is no guarantee that this will happen even now, having just woken up from the seal, even if Elona slowly recovers and returns to her prime.
Still, the best move Ziffle had was not Elona Ziffle, but the Demon Stone. Completing the manipulation of history through the demon stone was Zipple’s biggest task. There are obviously limits to what can be done only with ‘individual force’.
However, Jin knew that Elona could play a significant role in ‘history manipulation’.
-<Three thousand and twenty-six wizards, including Elona Ziple, tried to manipulate the history of Temar Runcandel, but failed because they could not break the power of his mighty existence.>
-<On March 3, 797, the five Mage Towers of Ziffle in the Kingdom of Palin are operating in good health. These mage towers have never been attacked from the outside since they were completed, and they look the same as they did 57 years ago.>
Records confirmed in the third tomb in the past.
At the time, Ziffle failed to manipulate the history of Temar, but he had a history of making Temar and the teenage knights destroy five mage towers ‘non-existent history’.
‘Under the circumstances, Elona Ziple’s influence had the greatest effect on erasing the history of the destroyed Mage Tower from the records. So, if Ziffle can completely control Elona Ziffle, it will spur the completion of the manipulation of history… … . You have to meet Elona Ziple at least once. We need to find out why Elona was erased from history.’
And if possible, I wanted to make her an ally someday. Just as I had made up my mind before going through her evil temple in the past.
“Sooner or later, I will have to meet Elona Ziple in person. If Elona is in the same state as Beradin, she might be able to help. She needs to consider her method, as Zipline will not easily allow her to meet.”
Although it was dangerous in many ways, colleagues did not question Jin’s judgment. Guessing alone doesn’t know anything about Elona, or about her relationship with her Ziple.
Also, not everyone was too concerned. Even if a battle were to take place, it was because he thought that Jin would not die in vain. Even if Jin faces Elona in her prime.
Above all.
Jin had no intention of meeting Elona alone.
“Soon Misha will be returning as Solderlet’s representative, so it would be nice to move with Murakan then.”
In the Barmal Union, Murakan would now return.
