Chapter 651

“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 the 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 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 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 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 a 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 need 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 human dies, 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 become 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 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 feasible without your comrade, the survivor of Hister.”
Jin immediately changed his expression and asked, "Sir Ronil, does Zipfel know the whereabouts of the survivor of Hister now?"
