Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 324

Chapter 324,

Chapter 99. Raid the villa (3)

Reflexively picked up the marble.

Looking back, it was the solderlet’s recording device. The difference is that it is a bit heavier than the ones Jin had before.

‘No, why is this here?’

I was speechless at the sudden discovery. The other co-workers looked at each other as if they were the same, and their eyes widened.

‘Where did Joshua get this from? Could it be that he also approached Temar’s tomb?’

Temar’s Tomb cannot be entered without ‘Qualifications’.

That qualification is, of course, the status of being a solderlet contractor.

Two assumptions immediately came to mind.

First, a figure called ‘The Prophet’ tricked Joshua into entering Temar’s tomb.

Second, Joshua obtained this recording device from a place other than Temar’s tomb.

‘Either way, the important thing is whether he knows that this bead is a recording device.’

Jin looked down at the fallen demon.

The dead don’t speak.

If he had been able to save the demon, he might have found out quite a bit of information, but he had already turned into a cold corpse and was pouring black blood from his neck.

It’s unfortunate.

It was an unexpected harvest. Compared to the fact that he nearly died every time he got a recording device, it was no different than just rolling in.

“Confucius, you’d better pack some of the demon’s other belongings for now.”

“Yes, it seems to be a demon that needs to be recognized.”

I searched the bosom of the dead demon. There seemed to be nothing to pack except a bundle of papers with unreadable ancient language and demonic characters and a book.

And the moment Jin unconsciously opened the book.

Whoa-!

Suddenly, the book gave off an ominous purple glow, and a voice with a strange resonance spread from within.

[A person who recklessly read the magic book of Rontelgeuse, the great duke of the demon realm. I will be cursed by Rontelgeuse forever! You will become a stone statue while still alive, and your body will not die even if it is broken, so even if you become powder, blame yourself forever.] It was a

different voice than that of the demon who just died.

As soon as the curse spell ended, a purple translucent chain protruded from the book and bound Jin.

“Confucius!”

“Gongja Jin!”

Colleagues stretched out their swords in amazement. Of course, the chains of curse were not cut by the sword.

And Jin lightly raised his hand to indicate that he was okay.

“Don’t panic, everyone. I’m immune anyway.”

Solderlet contractors are completely immune to all kinds of curses in the world.

It’s been a long time since Jin experienced the power that Valeria before the return described as ‘excessively fraudulent’.

The chain that bound Jin continued to seep into his shadow on the floor.

It took less than five seconds for the chains to be swallowed up by the shadows and disappear without a trace.

My co-workers watched him silently with their mouths open without even realizing it, and then asked.

“Are you really okay, Confucius?”

“Yes, I am glad. If someone other than me had touched this book… wouldn’t it have turned into a stone statue? Unless Rontelgeuse puts these devices in the book just to scare them.”

The moment the wine bar struck me, I felt a chill run down my spine. Not because he was afraid of the curse, but because of the fact that irreversible terrible things would have happened had he been touched by another comrade.

“From now on, I will have to be more careful with those who use demons or dark magic. Just got pure luck. I also learned a name that is presumed to be the family of this demon called Rontelgeuse.”

Pssss…

The demon’s corpse was decomposing. Not even a trace of blood was left where his body had been.

“It’s a bad race.”

“For now, let’s keep going.”

Movement started again. Perhaps because they suddenly encountered demons, everyone in the party seemed even more nervous.

However, the party never encountered an enemy until they reached the end of the underground facility.

Three guardian knights and eight hounds The rest of the resident personnel are absent.

Rather, it bothered me.

If there weren’t enough people like this, Yulian’s guardian dragon might have been moved to another place… Just

as such anxiety was about to pass through the party’s mind, Yulian pointed with a trembling hand beyond the darkness underground.

“Ka Kaltor…! Carl Thor!”

When the light shined, I saw a human hanging on the wall.

He was Julian’s guardian dragon, Thunder Dragon, Kalthor, who had transformed into a human.

It was such a miserable sight that it made me tear up. His crushed hands and feet were nailed to huge nails, and his entire body was covered with unknown traces of torture.

I hardly breathed.

“Kaltor! It’s me Julian! I’ll release you soon…!”

Tears flowed non-stop from Yulian’s eyes.

Just this time, Kuzan and Yulian silently pulled out the nail together, as if feeling sorry for them. flinch! Every time a nail fell out, Kaltor’s body shook, but there was no sign of his consciousness returning.

“Ah… Kaltor, answer me. What the hell are those motherfuckers doing to you?”

“I’m alive, Julian. You can go back and treat yourself. Confucius will surely call the saints of Bankela. So calm down and lower your voice. I’m sick of it right now, but now Joshua doesn’t have anything to blackmail you with?”

Kuzan patted Yulian on the back and said.

Jin took off his coat and wrapped it around Kaltor’s skinny body.

“Return.”

Just before going back to the ground and escaping the forest.

Jin turned his head and looked at Joshua’s secret villa standing there.

‘If only Joshua’s father had sincerely acknowledged him when he was training here. Could he have become less trash than he is now?’

Jin shook his head at the sudden question.

‘No, there is a high probability that it will overlap with the time of the curse on me, who was one year old anyway. Sometimes I wonder what made him so ugly.’

“I have found a hiding place, sir.”

The leader of the three Guardian Knights reported to Joshua.

“Where have you been?”

“Surprisingly, it was a rural area in the eastern part of Ekan Kingdom. It is a place called Donkey Village, but the total number of residents is less than 100, and most of them are elderly people.”

“A place like that? Are you sure?”

“Yes, I have already confirmed it by scaring the occupants. They even built a research lab in one corner of the village. I also took a look at the lab. The impressions of Arya Owlhart that the residents say are all the same.”

“They say it’s dark under the lamp, so that’s true.”

“Still, it would have been difficult to find if it wasn’t for the demon’s detection magic.”

Originally, three guardian knights and eight hounds should have been waiting in Joshua’s secret villa.

It was the reason they were absent from the secret villa. They vacated the villa to track the traces of Aria Owlheart in the Ekan Kingdom, which the demons found with the Dark World’s ‘detection magic’.

Rontelgeuse Lampen.

Joshua nodded, remembering the man’s terrifying appearance.

“Yes, it is an ingredient for detection magic, and it ate a thousand death row inmates. In the end, it pays off. Were there any clues to Arya Owlhart’s other hideout in that donkey village?”

“There are limited ways to get out of Donkey Village, so if you trace the expected route, you will be able to narrow down the suspected area. What’s certain is that Arya Owlheart has another lair in Hufestor.”

“How long will it take before we secure another hiding place?”

“You can find at least one in a month. If you keep narrowing it down like that, you can bite your tail properly.”

“Okay, good job. If possible, shorten the time as much as possible.”

“I will bring more satisfactory results soon.”

“Give Lampen more death row. It has been proven that his magic is excellent.”

Joshua smiled.

‘Rontelgeuse Lampen…if he can find out the identity of the orb. I should also consider providing death row prisoners for my cloning.’

spirit beads.

It was at the Mausoleum in Runkandel that I got it. One day, as always when I was a cadet in the beginner class, I was distracted by losing to Luna.

Instead of locking himself in his room and cursing himself as usual, Joshua made his way to the family mausoleum.

At that time, he still did not know why he had suddenly visited the mausoleum. They found the tomb as if they were led by fate or possessed by something.

and the deepest part of the mausoleum.

Originally, the first head of the household, Temar, was found in an empty tomb where he should have been enshrined.

‘When I put my hand on the Reiki Orb, I started to hear that dog’s voice from then on.’

Like a dog Prophet.

At first, she existed only as a voice. Only in a voice comforting and giving advice to young Joshua.

As Joshua got older, the voice became more and more tangible. At first, it was a vague figure like a ghost, but by the time I became a rider, it had transformed into a clear woman like now.

‘But the Prophet does not know that he has awakened in the marble. The fact that I have marbles.’

Joshua hadn’t told her about the marbles, even in the height of his trust in the Prophet.

It was a natural instinct.

Young Joshua instinctively sensed that the Reiki Orb could be a fail-safe.

For example, one day the Prophet will be able to use it at the moment when he betrays himself for some reason.

‘Looking at the Prophet’s attitude these days, I feel like he’ll betray me anytime. Either deal with it as soon as you become the head of the family, or make sure you have a means to control it before that. I have to use one of the two.’

Joshua still had that old intuition about the aura orb.

So not by chance. He had entrusted it to Rontelgeuse, a demon he had met inevitably, to find out how to use it.

“I will go away, sir.”

The moment the guardian knight finished the report saluted and was about to leave.

Someone looked for Joshua in an urgent voice.

“Sir Joshua!”

The one who entered the room and lowered his head was one of the hounds.

“What’s going on?”

“Abandoned forest villa has been raided.”

“what?”

“It was the time when we were heading to the eastern part of Ekan with the information we received from the demons.”

Joshua suppressed the curse rising up his throat. The Guardian Knight, who was about to leave, was startled and turned his attention to the hound.
