(Please support guys if possible. Thank you.)

Jin smiled inwardly. Even though Qwaul started shooting heavy artillery, it was the moment when it was revealed that Qwaul was not a person who could not talk at all.

Besides, isn't it Jin's specialty to answer questions and meet the conditions the opponent wants?

Lets start with the question.

How did you find out I was here?

I heard from Madame Talaris.

Talaris?

When Tingen heard her name, he tilted his head. It's like it's the first time he has heard this name.

Suddenly Jin and Syris wondered if Qwaul was a different person from the Tingen that Talaris had talked about, but after a while he was startled and said:

"Ah! Talaris. Yes, Talaris Kendorma!

Isnt it Endorma?

Was it Endorma? RightThere was such a woman....

Not only Jin, but also Syris couldn't help but be amazed by Qwaul's reaction as his eyes deepened as he remembered his old memories.

In particular, Syris was feeling a kind of fresh shock beyond unpleasantness. She never wanted to, but Syris saw firsthand quite a few of the many men who had been lovers of Talaris.

They all clung to her mother to the point of being pathetic. In severe cases, they said they would take their life if they didn't meet Talaris, but of course Talaris never reached out to her ex-lovers.

Syris had even dealt with those who, in some serious cases, were determined to tarnish the image of hidden palace by spreading excessive rumors about Talaris. Like when Jin was a intermediate cadet, Syris went to Mamit to remove the Talaris's 307th boyfriend, Alcaro Chender.

Jin and Syris first met there.

'He... couldn't even remember my mother? What kind of man is he? No, is that even possible?'

Even if they were not lovers, Talaris is a person who is hard to forget at first sight.

In the first place, the general public would never able to see her, and the pure white silver hair and atmosphere unique to the Endorma clan blood had a mystery that no one else could feel.

But it seemed that Qwaul had really forgotten her. No matter how she looked at it, he wasn't just pretending to forget.

No, didn't you already know? Until now, it was the energy of myriad ice that blocked your shells."

The energy of myriad ice gave off a completely different feeling from ordinary ice barrier magic. However, Qwaul clapped his hands as if he had just remembered that. There was even Mort.

"That's right. Come to think of it, she is using the same power as Talaris Kendorma!"

Endorma!

Syris shouted.

Qwaul continued to have sad eyes whether he did or not.

At this point, Syris wasn't even angry.

Oh, Mort. It's been a while since my friend. Then you must be her daughter. Nice to meet you. Im Tingen Bauer.

"Get lost."

And you must be her son-in-law, or a future son-in-law. Come to think of it, it seems like I heard that marriage talks are going between the 12th flagbearer of Runcandel and the lady of the hidden palace. Is Talaris doing well?

As Jin was deciding what to answer, Qwaul shook his head.

No, no! That's enough. I don't care about past love."

Ha, crazy.

Arent the eyes too deep for that kind of thing Jin wanted to say that, but he stayed quiet, looking at Syris.

Hmmmm, it makes sense if Talaris told you about this place anyway. I mean, she remembered this place.

Qwaul seemed to have a lot of questions about Talaris, but he held it back.

Syris moved away from them, thinking that if she watched Qwaul any longer, she would draw her sword.

Jin gave Qwaul a moment to organize his thoughts.

A few minutes later, Qwaul's eyes flashed with wariness again. But it was much paler than the first.

Next question. Finding out this log cabin and the pseudonym Tingen Bauer made sense. But how did you know my real name?"

My informants found out.

I tell you in advance. If you play a joke or tell a lie, the conversation is over from that moment on.

"You're being strict."

Do you think that Runcandel's intelligence will be superior to Zipfels? Since you're still only a 12th flagbearer, your information power is not Runcandel, but the ability of the Vamel Alliance. I can't understand that you've found out my real name that much."

Qwaul's words contained one piece of information.

'Even Zipfel didn't know Tingen Bauer's real name, Qwaul Ganesto?'

How do you know something that even Zipfel doesn't know? Qwaul was asking that.

It was my informant who found out your real name. My clan doesn't even know you exist or that I'm looking for you."

Jin couldn't classify Valeria as a simple informant, but in broad terms, she could also be classified as an informant for the Vamel Alliance, so he wasn't lying.

Qwaul stared at Jin for a while and was silent.

"Hmm, I don't think you're lying."

That long eye contact was Qwaul's way of detecting lies. There seemed to be no basis, but once it was over, there was nothing bad for Jin.

I also have a few questions I want to ask you.

Do it after I finish my question.

Why is Zipfels engineer, the man behind the development of teleportation devices and blueprints for mass-produced ships, stuck in such a remote area? I can't even see a mage coming out to escort you to this point.

Qwaul didn't really hate Jin's behavior, ignoring his words and asking questions.

He thought that this side was better than the powerful people of Zipfel, who used to show a servile appearance by carefully looking at himself.

Perhaps that small favor was the price for Jin making him remember his forgotten old love, but Qwaul vehemently denied that fact.

Even those rods that you seem to have made, they even have the ability to disturb martial artists aura. No matter how you think about it, it's strange that an engineer of your level is left unattended in a place like this.

"Unattended? Did you say unattended? Ha! You don't know this body well. No one can redeem me.

Somehow, at that point, Jin thought of a black dragon he knew well.

It reminds me of Murakan.

These types, which are simple and unique in a good way and rather stupid and arrogant in a bad way, sometimes showed signs of being obsessed with something.

Jin hoped that Qwaul would also have that kind of element.

Zipfel released you, you mean?

I tried my best to like you, but you keep saying things that scratch my ego. Zipfel? They were only serving me for a while because they coveted my ability. I never belonged to them.

Jin seemed to know roughly.

Looks like Zipfel cant do anything about this eccentric person. He's a person who doesn't seem to cooperate at all if you goes against his will, so you will have no choice but to follow his will.'

Nothing was known about this arrogant genius engineer, Tingen Bauer.

If Jin didnt get some of the mechanical device and ship blueprints from Sota Desert, and Valeria wasn't there, and Qwaul wasn't related to Talaris. Jin probably wouldn't have come to this place.

Even if he does come, it will be much later than now.

In addition, Qwaul has the ability to keep himself safe against quite a few people, and Zipfel is suffering from severe power shortages after the Sword Emperor's War.

But even so, the reason why Qwaul Ganesto is left unattended is insufficient to explain. It must be because the last name Ganesto is not yet known to Zipfel.'

Mind manipulation.

Suddenly, one of Zipfels spells came to Jin's mind. At least so far, it seems that Qwaul has not been subjected to mind manipulation.

Their mind manipulation isnt perfect yet, so if I exclude it, it seems to be sorted out. Also, why was Qwaul working with Zipfel in the first place?'

Although he is not from the academy and his reputation is not known, it is clear that Qwaul Ganesto is a genius engineer on a different level.

So, it was quite possible that he was caught the eyes of Zipfel by chance while demonstrating his ability.

'He's not just a person to be recruited. If he just needed high-tech engineering equipment or resource support, he'd likely use the academy first in the first place.'

Zipfel made something attractive offer to Qwaul.

If it's redemption, he's going to put an enemy on the Zipfel for a while.

Jin came to that conclusion.

Perhaps you were working with Zipfel because there was something that appealed to you? The desire as a pure scholar worked on things like teleportation devices and the development of mass-production flying ships."

Think of that as you please."

Jin thought it meant yes.

Originally, upon hearing Qwaul's answer, Jin would have felt a bit blocked.

Because the Runcandel and Vamel Alliance did not have a business ready to go beyond teleportation devices and mass production ships.

But now the story is different.

There is a magic suction spray type all-weather mana crushing cannon, something that Amela affirmed to be a masterpiece of ancient artifacts, and they also have some of the ship blueprints and parts of the teleportation device.

Particularly, the parts and blueprints were clearly a masterpiece among the masterpieces even to Qwaul.

I ask straight forward, Qwaul Ganesto. If I could make you an offer as attractive as Zipfel, would you work with me?

"There's no way that's possible."

Do you want to hear the story? You said you would consider answering the questions in the first place and leaving the cabin if the conditions were met?

Even though I said so, I dont really have any expectations. If you're thinking of moving me through torture or something like that, feel free to do it. In that way, you will be sinners of the world who make the development of the world fall behind by hundreds of years."

Jin didn't respond to that, just took out a mechanical device from his pocket and held it out to Qwaul.

I thought you wanted to finish this thing, but I guess I was wrong.

Then, Qwaul's eyes widened.

What, what! Why do you have that!?

Jin couldn't help but smile once more.
