"The contractor of truth... an unfortunate fate, especially for an orphan."
"Stop the bullshit, Orgal. She is just a child."
"If it's unpleasant, I apologize. Except for the dragons you know, everyone else is like a child to me. But then again, since you personally rescued Az Mil's Contractor, she is probably not too unlucky."
"Why?"
"The Contractor of Truth cannot verify me. I hope you'll be aware of that."
"It's not that you don't like it, but does that mean it's impossible?"
"Yes. You'd better not even try. The contractor and the young guardian dragon cannot withstand the impact that could be too much to bear. I said that for your sake."
It's impossible to know if Orgal's words are true or not. However, if Euria and Latrie were seriously harmed after really testing him, there would be no answer.
"Will you agree to indirect confirmation through Bishkel or Margiella?"
"Of course."
"What about Zipfel? Do you agree?"
"... we agree. It would have been better if you had told us in advance."
When Ronil spoke up, Octavia seemed to calm her anger. Ronil didn't seem like her superior, but he didn't seem to be in a position to be ignored either.
"Consider it the price for kidnapping the dragon of truth in the past."
As they began to enter the conference room, the crowd waiting outside cheered. Not only Tikan, but also reporters from all over the world, except Huphester, gathered. They relentlessly drew and took notes of their appearance in their notebooks.
It was not an unofficial meeting. The people of the world were disillusioned with the fact that the truce agreement between Zipfel and Runcandel had been broken a while ago, but they had hope in this conference, which was hosted directly by Jin.
The conference room was filled with refreshments and simple food prepared by Latrie. Sandra had gone crazy with the cookies when she had visited Tikan with Veradin last time, but she had no reaction now.
On the other hand, surprisingly, Octavia's eyes widened in surprise after taking a bite of the cookie.
During the short meal, formalities were exchanged, and as soon as the meal ended, Euria entered the conference room.
At only thirteen years old, Euria stood confidently before the so-called conquerors of the world, her eyes unflinching. "Hello, I'm Euria Alfreon, who came as the censor of today's meeting. You can have a comfortable conversation, and ask me to inspect it whenever you think it is necessary."
"I am Latrie, the guardian dragon of Euria. If a situation arises in which there may be problems with the censorship process, I will let you know in advance." Latrie added.
At the bold and cute self-introduction of the two, Jin smiled heartily without even realizing it.
"Starting a crucial meeting for the fate of the world with cute orphans makes me smile."
"I've been bothered by the use of the term 'orphans' since earlier."
"It reminds me that there is a world where people cannot even use the word 'orphan.'"
"What does 'orphan' mean?"
Jin had heard the expression 'orphan' used by the witch Helluram in Solderet's recording device. It doesn't seem like a simple metaphor, Jin has been curious about it before. He recalled how Cuicantelle had told Murakan that the expression was oddly familiar.
"It means exactly what it sounds like. It refers to someone who has lost both their parents."
"You must not be ignorant of the fact that Euria is the daughter of Sir Kashmir and Madame Alisa."
At those words, Orgal smiled meaningfully.
"Before your birth parents existed, there were parents who brought you into existence."
"Are you talking about God?"
"It's a presence beyond that,"
"Has Sir Bishkel and Margiella ever received this information from Orgal?"
"I have it!"
"Euria."
At Jin's call, Euria nodded her head.
"Sir Bishkel and Lady Margiella, please make eye contact with me for a moment. If it's the truth, a blue light in the form of a string will appear between the three of us, and if it's a lie, a red string will form."
Euria resonated with Latrie and met the eyes of the two and after about three minutes, a blue string formed between them.
"They are not lying, Jin oppa."
Even if what Orgal said was false, at least it was explained that way to Bishkel and Margiella.
Orgal didn't seem like he would give them false information.
"I have no intention of telling a lie, even if there is no contractor of truth, Jin Runcandel. The reason the world is in its current state is because the parents of life have perished."
"It's a nonsensical story. Anyway, it seems to be related to Kinzelo's purpose that I've heard about."
"It is something that is off topic. First of all, why don't we take a look at each other's cards? I will refrain from using the word orphan in the future."
"I agree. Then first...… let's start by figuring out the damage situation for each faction. I'll go first. Except for my injury and the injuries of Madame Talaris, and the wounds of Snow toad Mort, the Vamel alliance and its allies have suffered no casualties."
"Is the master of the hidden palace recovered?"
"She couldn't fight because of internal injuries and encroachment of chaos. We do not know how long it will take to recover."
"Miss Euria, please confirm."
As Ronil said, Euria made eye contact with Jin this time. Naturally, a blue light appeared.
"Zipfel lost about 70% of its fleet, and Lord Kadun was seriously injured. In addition, about 300 elite mages, including 27 members of the Spectre squad, were killed, and about a thousand other casualties occurred, but most of them were resurrected with Demon's God's orb. However, it will take two months to recover the fleet."
The damage to Zipfel, which the seven-colored peacock identified, was about 50% loss of their fleet, but both the Zipfel and the Kinzelo had engaged in fighting with the Ram for some time even after Jin had escaped the Huphester. In the process, they suffered an additional 20% loss.
"Your patriarch did not participate in this battle. But I'm curious. Did Zipfel's patriarch take any damage in this battle?"
Ronil pondered for a moment before replying:
"... he has been hit. But I can't give you more details."
"Euria."
"Yeah, wait a minute."
Jin asked for confirmation not because he thought there would be lies in the damage situation. It was hard to believe that it would take only two months to restore a fleet of that size.
A blue string formed between Ronil and Euria.
"It's amazing that you can recover the entire fleet in just two months. It's impossible with just manpower."
Jin didn't ask Ronil about the method. Euria was only here to confirm the damage to each faction, not to dig up all their secrets. After all, there was no guarantee that the other party would answer.
"Kinzelo lost about 10% of the fleet and about 1,500 mass-produced Plutonian-type golem. I also took a hit, but I should be able to recover in about three years even without special measures."
"3 years? Are you saying that if we have to fight the final battle against Rosa in it, you will not be able to participate in the full state? There's a high probability that it will be like that. We are in a situation where we can't even guarantee tomorrow, let alone three years."
"Yes. If I had been in perfect condition from the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out like this. You may not know this, but she's no longer human. She's become a god."
"God?"
"It's an evil god, born out of chaos. And everyone seems to be worried about when Rosa will move, let me tell you one thing. It will take at least a year before she moves herself. Until then, there will be no threat of the world's destruction."
"Still, it's shorter than three years, knowing that you can recover without any special measures. You probably have a way to accelerate your recovery if the worst-case scenario arises."
"That's right."
"What is the basis for your belief that it will take at least one year for Rosa to move?"
"As a god, don't you think there is an adaptation phase? She also needs to supply offerings for divine powers. As you know, Rosa and the prophets use all life, including humans, as sacrifices. Do you know that on that day, all humans in the city of Kalon will become sacrifices?"
"... I was expecting it."
"In the future, more lives, including humans, will become sacrifices for Rosa. If we want to reduce that number even a little, we must fight only once."
"I guess we have to strike when we can defeat the garden of swords in one shot." Hedo said.
"Yes, Zipfel's butler. If it doesn't matter how many humans die, it's okay to try multiple attacks."
"Leaving aside ethical issues, it's also possible that there could be complications if we provoke Rosa and the speed of obtaining sacrifices increases unnecessarily."
This time Octavia spoke and Orgal nodded his head.
"That goes without saying. But there is something more important."
Orgal's gaze fell on Jin.
"Jin Runcandel must be able to defeat Rosa in a one-on-one battle."
This meant nothing less than that.
"Is that because I am immune to chaos?"
The fact that Jin was immune to chaos was no longer a secret. Everyone saw it when Jin faced Rosa directly in the Garden of Swords.
Orgal nodded.
"Because you are the only one immune to chaos. In the current world, there is probably only you who can kill Rosa Runcandel. If there is no special means in Zipfel...…."
"Euria."
As previously verified for orphan explanation, this time Bishkel and Margiella were also verified on behalf of Orgal.
Again, everything Orgal said turned out to be true.
"If one is not immune to chaos, then even if there is a person who becomes a genesis knight, can they not kill Rosa?"
"Yes, if your father could return from Black Sea immediately and join the battle, the situation might change. But aren't you currently unable to contact him?"
"Yes."
Jin did not bother to hide the contents about Chiron.
This time, Ronil asked for verification. Zipfel had long wanted to know about the communication between Chiron and Runcandel.
[T/L:- Everyone is scared of Chiron and they say the protagonist is Jin.]
Of course, a blue string was revealed between Jin and Euria.
A moment of silence passed.
"It seems that my shoulders feel a little heavier since I am the only one who can face Rosa. Kinzelo still has a variable called Orgal's recovery, but doesn't Zipfel have no spleen moves at all?"
"... there is."
"I didn't expect to be so pleased to hear that the enemy has hidden strength. Please tell me what it is. I guess this is a question that needs to be answered. After all, we are dealing with the public enemy."
"It is history manipulation. However, it is a means that will never be possible without your companion, the survivor of Hister."
Jin immediately changed his expression and asked, "Sir Ronil, does Zipfel know the whereabouts of the survivor of Hister now?"

章節 493: CHAPTER 652
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
Valeria Hister, the last time Jin's companions saw her was about two months ago. It wasn't the first time that she hadn't been in touch for such a long time, but even after the news of Jin's return spread around the world, there was no way she wouldn't keep in touch.
Above all, Rosa announced that she had found the legacy of the first patriarch in order to lure Jin into the Garden of Swords, and summoned Padler who was presumed to be the guardian of Temar's fifth tomb.
All clues indicated that something had happened to her.
"I don't know why you are asking us about your companion, 12th flagbearer. Have you lost contact with the Hister's survivor as well?"
"Yes."
Normally, Jin would never have asked Zipfel for information regarding Valeria. But now was not the time to hesitate.
At that, Ronil sighed, and Octavia touched her forehead.
"Judging from your reaction, it seems like you don't know either."
"Yes, we don't."
"Still, I have to check it out. Euria."
When the Power of Truth was used, a blue thread appeared between Ronil, Octavia, and Euria. Just as Jin was about to be disappointed, Ronil revealed new information.
"Instead, we know the area where Hister's survivor is estimated to have disappeared last."
Zipfel had been tracking Temar's tomb for a thousand years, and this time was no different. While Valeria was tracing, Zipfel was also looking for Temar's tomb.
"Where is it?"
Ronil exchanged glances with Octavia. Octavia nodded as if it was okay to tell.
"Huphester, there is a cave in the eastern 5th region of Kaldran. When we got there, there were traces of the record magic."
"Has Hister's survivor left the trace?"
"Yes, the blue window of the record magic was left in the cave."
"Did you see the blue window yourself?"
"... yes. I was tracking down Hister's survivor myself."
If it was Valeria that Jin knew, she wouldn't have made such a careless mistake. Unless she deliberately induced a trap or distraction.
"Please tell me more about the situation at the time."
"I confirmed the location of the Hister's survivor from afar, and followed her. As it was within the eastern five regions, there were a lot of restrictions on my movement and Hister's survivor. There was a three-day pursuit in the Kaldran snowfield, and she entered a cave with only one entrance and one exit."
"And she disappeared, leaving behind the blue window of record magic?"
"Yes, that's all. There were no signs of escape from the cave. I wondered if the Hister's survivor had learned invisibility or teleportation spells at the succession temple, but there were no traces of any other magic being used except for record magic."
"A person can't disappear like that unless there's snow toad Mort."
"That's why we thought Mort rescued Hister's survivor. Since Hidden Palace is no longer neutral, it is no different from an ally of you, sir."
"Did you continue to investigate Kaldran cave after that?"
"I couldn't. Right after that, Runcandel's 3rd flagbearer started guarding it."
-I really have to go now. Whatever, I'll send you a letter to Tikan if there's any further progress. Maybe your sister can find a clue about Temar's fifth tomb soon."
What Valeria said before Jin was leaving for Laprarosa.
Luntia had been tracking Temar's tomb for a long time.
She was also one of three siblings about which Jin did not know 'current state'.
"According to the circumstances, it is highly likely that Runcandel's 3rd flagbearer also knew the location of the Hister's survivor. No, I must say for sure. The 3rd flagbearer and her knights were camped right around that cave."
Jin sighed, suppressing his emotions. Neither Mary nor Tona Brothers, nor the late Jordan and surviving resisters, knew about Luntia.
It was to the extent that Diphus took the place of Luntia, the top flagbearer, to deal with the aftermath of the Glyek subjugation.
'As expected, Elder Sister Luntia... Is she stained by chaos?'
However, even though they had never met, Jin expected Luntia's condition that way. Otherwise, there would be no way she wouldn't have rebelled.
"Sir Ronil, did you not run into Elder Sister Luntia?"
"The situation was urgent, so I couldn't get close to the 3rd flagbearer. However, the Kaldran Snowfield was full of knights stained with chaos."
Euria revealed that everything Ronil said was true. The encroachment of Luntia was no different from a certainty.
"What is the possibility that the Hister survivor was kidnapped by Elder Sister Luntia?"
"If the 3rd flagbearer found something that I didn't find in that cave that day, it's not impossible."
Jin looked back at Orgal. He smiled as if he knew why.
"Why, do you doubt me because I have the ability to move through dimensions? We don't know anything about Hister survivor."
It was as he said when Euria confirmed Ivelianos siblings.
'If Zipfel and Kinzelo didn't know, Valeria wouldn't have been caught.'
Jin was convinced of that.
'If Rosa had secured my teacher, she would have used that to intimidate me by now. She should have used the teacher even after calling me to the Garden of Swords.'
In the Garden of Swords, Rosa said nothing further about Valeria. There were some things that Jin didn't ask, but the decisive reason would have been that there was no way to use her.
Of course, Jin and the great forces gathered here are not the only ones who are tracking Temar's tomb in the world.
The imperial family, who possesses Temar's left arm, were also looking for a tomb.
'But if the imperial family captured Valeria, there's no way Zipfel wouldn't know. As long as they don't betray Zipfel and stick to Runcandel...….'
Jin decided to ask openly.
"Sir Ronil, is the relationship between Zipfel and the imperial family still the same?"
"The Imperial Family has no ability to catch Hister's survivor. Even less so without our clan's knowledge."
"Jin, you seem obsessed with Hister's survivor. I don't think it's because you want to restore my history through her, or use Zipfel's manipulation of history to attack the Garden of Swords."
"Do you think I would have such a disgusting thought? She is my companion."
Jin showed a bit of anger at Orgal's words.
"Anyway, it seems that you will be frantic about finding her for the time being."
"I will take care of that problem. Now, let's return to the topic of the Garden of Swords."
"No, this is still related to the Garden of Swords, Jin. Have you forgotten? You are Rosa Runcandel's only opponent at this point. It means you cannot act recklessly."
"... I agree with Sir Orgal in this matter, 12th flagbearer. If you're looking for Hister's survivor right now, of course, you'll have to go to the eastern five regions first, right? And I think you probably know the state of Huphester better than anyone else."
"The world has come to a point where Zipfel and Kinzelo worry about me. Especially Zipfel , who is worried about Hister's safety...it feels strange. I am trying to save her because she is my companion, but also because I need her abilities to oppose the Garden of Swords. Her skills are needed not just by you all."
"Perhaps to further develop the spatial-time device stolen from us."
"It's embarrassing to hear you say that."
"You don't have to because our clan didn't manage it properly. But at this point, you'd better reconsider going to Huphester for Hister."
Ronil spoke without emotion, but Jin heard his calm voice saying. I promise to take it back someday.
'Even if Zipfel is not manipulating history, there will be other means. Kinzelo will surely be able to speed up Orgal's recovery if he pays a price.'
The Power of Truth that Euria possesses is not yet perfect. Although she can accurately distinguish between truth and lies, it was impossible for her to understand the 'truth of revenge' intentionally left unspoken.
Jin didn't think Zipfel and Kinzelo wouldn't know this, so he was sure there were things they didn't say on purpose.
But they were still concerned about their own safety, as that was the best means. Even if Euria's authority was at a level that could even reveal the hidden truth, this was only a temporary alliance meeting, not a real one.
If he had used her authority that deeply, the meeting would have collapsed in the first place.
'From their perspective, the best outcome is to use me to remove Rosa without showing another card.'
The battle prowess that Rosa showed in the garden of the sword was undoubtedly so transcendent that it could be called an 'evil god.'
But when the day comes for Jin and temporary alliances to face Rosa for the final battle, it will surely be even worse than now.
Even if Jin wins against her, there will be no way to achieve victory without suffering serious damage.
Of course, Zipfel and Kinzelo would also take damage, but it would not be comparable to Jin, who fought Rosa one-on-one.
Then what happens after the war?
Kinzelo and Zipfel are no longer allies. Even if Jin wins the war against Rosa, there is a high probability that he will be with the strongest enemies when he is at his weakest.
Of course, Jin did not intend to leave them like that.
'They don't know that Valeria is not just a key just for a spatial-time device, but also the key to completing the Golden Armada.'
One year.
In that not-so-long time, Jin prepared to face Rosa and used the other two factions as much as possible.
"If you're that worried, just attach someone. As soon as the meeting is over, I'll go to Kaldran Snowfield."
"So soon...?"
"Attach someone.... an interesting demand. I feel like you're going to use us to the bone until the temporary alliance ends."
"Isn't it common sense? It doesn't matter if they don't give anyone, I'll go alone anyway. Orgal said earlier that it would take at least a year for Rosa to move again. I have to do everything I can within that time. That's why Hister is absolutely necessary."
"Kinzelo agrees!"
Margiella said with twinkling eyes, and Ronil nodded as if he couldn't help it.
"Zipfel will agree too."
"There is one person on the Zipfel side that I want."
"... Who are you thinking of?"
Jin made eye contact with him and said,
"Veradin. I want Veradin Zipfel on this mission."
