Chapter 348

TL: Zimmings

So this is what happened.

I made a deal with the leader of red spider clan before the Kakan meeting started today.

“I understand that you’re not interested in the position of the union leader. You only worry about your daughter lying on the bed, right?”

“A foreigner knows the news of my tribe well.”

“The story of the wise daughter of the red spider tribe is also famous in the empire. She solved the shortage of food in your tribe at the age of fifteen with great wisdom. However, I have been told that her body has been very weak since birth, so she have been living in bed since last year.”

“...That’s right.”

“I can help you. I have a devil that can cure any disease as long as they are not dead.”

The leader of the red spider tribe is a person who knows the power of exchange.

Since he was originally in favor of the destruction of the temple, it was clear that he would be tempted by my proposal.

He cooperated with me.

And I called out the ghost of the whitr mountain tribe and made them fight against the red spider in the middle of Athar.

Of course, it was only a show, so no one was injured.

However, Jin’s people spread the rumors all over Athar, and this is the result

Jin asked.

“At the next meeting, the leader of the white mountain will say that it wasn’t them that fought the red spider. Then the problem will come back to the beginning, what are you going to do?”

“It won’t happen.”

“What?”

Sahad, Jin’s grandfather, spoke on my behalf.

“There will be no one who believes what the white mountain say. I’ll make it like that. Didn’t you tell me everything to fix it?”

I smiled brightly.

“That’s right.”

“The leaders, who realized how fearful the division was, will realize that the center of Athar was the most harmonious when I was there.”

“......It means that if you control them now, it’s not difficult for you to win re-election.”

“What are you doing?”

“Yes?”

“I need to go and meet the leaders right now!”

When Sahad shouted, Jin flinched. Sahad clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“If you resembled the lady even half as much, there would be no need for me to rule with this old body.”

“That’s... I’m sorry.”

Jin burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

Jin and I smiled as we looked at each other.

Together we left the room.

Jin said,

“I thought you’d come up with a perfect ploy to not get caught up in such a crude job.”

“I know that this ploy was lame.”

“Why did you choose this method knowing that?”

“First, this was the fastest way to solve it, and secondly...”

I looked at him gently.

Jin stroked my cheek and asked, “Why?” and I smiled faintly.

“I believed in the potential of that old man... and Jin.”

“......What?”

“Even with such a poor plan, if a door opens up, he know that he will never miss an opportunity.”

“.......”

Jin stared at me blankly.

After looking at him for a long time, he smiled as if he was in despair some time later.

“I have a lot of greed, but I have loyalty, so I can’t embrace you.”

“Yes?”

“I’m conflicted. If you weren’t my friend’s woman, I would have hugged you and kissed you right away.”

“Your friend’s woman?”

“Yeah, friend... Ugh.”

Jin groaned while holding his forehead. He murmured only after pressing his temples several times.

“You’re my friend’s... what can I say...”

“...don’t worry about it.”

“What?”

I grabbed my etwal without answering.

“......!”

She feel a strange energy.

A wave that was so violent that it gave her goosebumps. It was such a powerful force that it even flowed into the Imperial Palace of Mojas.

‘Divine power. This is divine power.’

It is also a very familiar power.

Juliet hurriedly turned around and ran. When she reached the entrance of the imperial palace, she tore up the teleportation scroll.

And when she headed to the place where the wave began, a woman with thick curly hair and blue eyes was waiting for her angrily.

“...Leblaine.”

“Rumors spread around Mojas. King Mojas imprisoned the Duke of Dubblede.”

“.......”

The moment she saw her unshaken eyes, she felt it.

The wind that was about to shake her country.

It’s also a typhoon.

***

With Juliet’s help, I figured out Mojas’ situation.

Dad was caught in his second meeting with King Mojas.

‘How arrogant.’

King Mojas has sought the position of the Hoshitamtam Empire.

So, he locked up the Duke of Dubblede, who even the emperor of the empire couldn’t touch, and revealed his influence to the whole world.

After the empire was destroyed, he wanted to aim for the unification of the continent.

“It’s like a declaration that the temple can never be destroyed.”

“...you feel bad?”

“Why?”

“Huh?”

“You didn’t do it, so why do you feel bad?”

“.......”

She looked at me blankly. Then she soon let out a groan.

“You really are a strange kid.”

“I’ve heard that a lot. Confessions always follow after those words.”

“Do you want me to do it too?”

“No way.”

I crossed my arms.

“I see how things went. Then let’s go.”

“Where?”

“The temple.”

Unlike other countries, Mojas does not intend to trade. So what should I do?

“I must destroy it with my own hands.”

“What?!”

Juliet was startled when she saw me trying to get the scroll out right away.

“Your father is being held hostage.”

“He wasn’t taken as a hostage.”

“Then?”

“He’s not that easy.”

“What are you talking about?”

“So dad gave King Mojas time. A chance to destroy the temple and save his life. If it were my father, he would have waited for about three days.”

“Today is the third day of being imprisoned.”

That was the moment.

Bang!!

Bang, bang, bang!

There was a sound of banging from somewhere.

From the direction of the Imperial Palace of Mojas.

It was obvious who was making the fuss.

I pulled Juliet’s sleeve, looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace with a bewildered expression.

“Let’s go. To destroy the temple.”

Now it’s the last move.

After clearing the last country, I will return to the empire.
