Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 861
## Chapter 861
«Understood, I’ll be there. Elder Sister Luna, Elder Sister Luntia, please prepare to depart immediately.»
«We’re always ready. Let’s go, young patriarch.»
Jin immediately concluded the meeting and headed to Tikan.
There was only one reason why Jin was taking Luna and Luntia with him. No matter how reckless and weak Peitel, whom they had encountered on the Blue Bird Islands, was, he was fundamentally a high-level god.
Even if they had to face him, having the two of them together would be the safest option. Additionally, Murakan and Valeria would also accompany them.
«You’ve arrived, my lord! And the flagbearers!»
As the red owl arrived at Tik, Jet greeted the group.
«Yes, what about Yulian and Caltor?»
«They’re in the infirmary.»
Even before entering the infirmary, the group could hear Yulian’s sobbing voice. Of course, he wasn’t crying because he was sad, but because he was overjoyed.
«Tsk… You only have two eyes, how long are you going to cry? Stop crying and come greet us, crybaby.»
Despite her curse, Veris was actually very happy with Caltor’s recovery. The same could be said for Kuzan, who was by her side.
In a sense, the three of them practically joined the Vamel Alliance at the same time.
While Kuzan and Veris quickly adapted to life in Tikan, Yulian, in fact, hadn’t been able to open up to his comrades and connect with them properly until recently. Of course, he had been active in several battles, but as long as Caltor remained unconscious, Yulian hadn’t been able to communicate with anyone.
But now that Caltor had awakened, Yulian’s loneliness and despair had come to an end.
«Sir Jin…,»
Yulian looked at Jin with tearful eyes.
«You don’t regret coming to Tikan now, do you?»
«I’ve always felt this way from the beginning, and I’ve always been grateful. Now I finally feel like I’ve regained everything in life.»
«That’s good to hear. Don’t be too formal, even though it’s a bit awkward. Sir Caltor, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve seen you almost every day since we rescued you in 1799, but it seems like you’re seeing me for the first time.»
As Caltor got out of bed, he made eye contact with Jin. Although he had fully regained consciousness, his body was in a very weakened state due to the prolonged illness.
Jin recalled the day he had rescued Caltor in Joshua’s village, remembering the pitiful state he was in. There were large spikes piercing his limbs, and his entire body was covered in severe torture marks.
«You saved me, Sir Jin…»
«It wasn’t just me, my comrades were there too. Yulian also participated in that mission. And later, when I was searching for Ozdock, the central monster, the seventh flagbearer of Runcandel was with me.»
«I don’t know how to express my gratitude…»
As he was about to respond, overwhelmed with emotion, Caltor hugged Yulian for a moment and burst into tears. Everyone felt that the two were a perfect match. The time they lived as Joshua’s hounds, being weak-hearted and tearful, was truly hell for them.
«Oh, boy. Are you here?»
«Murakan.»
«Eh, sob, ah. Murakan!?»
Surprised by Murakan’s unexpected voice, Caltor looked at him in surprise.
«What’s wrong? Why are you so surprised?»
«Oh, well… Are you Sir Murakan?»
«Do you know me?»
«Among dragons, there’s no dragon who doesn’t know Sir Murakan.»
«Hahaha, I guess that’s true. Don’t worry, I won’t hit you. You’re on our side, right?»
«Th-Thank God.»
«But even so, knowing me means you’ve lived at least a thousand years, right? How old are you?»
«I’m a little under two thousand years old.»
«Oh, were you active a thousand years ago?»
«No, I don’t know much about the war from that era. I was hiding with Sir Peitel at the time…»
«Ah… You were hiding. B-Well… I see.»
A thousand years ago, during the height of the war between Runcandel and Zipple, Peitel had been afraid of the battle and had hidden with his dragons.
As Murakan recalled his memories of Peitel, he thought about how typical it was of him. However, he couldn’t bring himself to curse Peitel in front of Caltor. Insulting a god in front of his dragon was like insulting one’s own parents.
No matter how much he wanted to rant about Peitel, he couldn’t insult his comrade’s parent.
«It’s possible. Well, don’t worry too much about it since you’re okay.»
«Well… I’m embarrassed.»
«Eh? Why are you embarrassed?»
«Although I hid by Sir Peitel’s choice at the time, Runcandel saved me this time. And the war from then is still ongoing. So this time, I won’t hide and I’ll definitely fight alongside you. Even if it goes against Sir Peitel’s intentions…»
For the first time, Caltor spoke with a resolute expression.
«Wow… You really have a great mindset, my friend. Even if it’s just words, going against your god’s will isn’t something that can easily come out of a dragon’s mouth. It really takes a strong will to say something like that out loud.»
«I’ve heard that the alliance of Runcandel and Vamel needs Sir Peitel’s help.»
«That’s correct. We need to know how Peitel materializes his authority into a weapon, or the power of the storm itself. Yulian, can you communicate with Peitel?»
«…No, it’s been a long time since I heard Sir Peitel’s voice. Since Sir Peitel was injured by Sir Murakan and Sir Jin on the Blue Bird Islands, I haven’t heard his voice even once.»
Murakan nodded, as if he understood. He thought that even if he were in that situation, he probably wouldn’t be able to communicate with a contractor again.
«Maybe he’s just embarrassed, but there could be other reasons. At that time, Sir Peitel manifested through me, but even so, he suffered significant damage… I don’t know if there was a major impact on his main body.»
«So that means he might be recovering.»
«Yes.»
«Then, is there any other way to try to communicate with Peitel?»
«There’s nothing Yulian and I can do in this situation. Yulian has tried several times to communicate with Sir Peitel to help me recover, but he hasn’t succeeded even once. I’m in the same situation. However, I’m thinking of going directly to the Blue Bird Islands.»
«The Blue Bird Islands.»
Among the Blue Bird Islands, there were about a hundred islands.
Among them, the island that Jin and Murakan had gone to was island number 32. However, that island had disappeared without a trace after the battle between Garmund and Joshua.
As a result, even the tombstone that was believed to be the tomb of the thunder god «Gram» on island 32 had also disappeared.
«As I understand it, even if there is a problem with the tombstone or the barrier around the god’s tomb, as long as the relics or the fundamental energy of the god are nearby, the tomb won’t disappear completely. So, even if we go there again now, Sir Jin’s sword might react to Sir Gram’s energy.»
In the back of his mind, Jin had been contemplating what to do if Caltor didn’t cooperate.
From Jin’s perspective, it was true that he had saved Yulian and Caltor, but from Caltor’s point of view, his own god, similar to his parents, had been injured by Jin and his comrades.
However, it was comforting. Caltor had thought about making decisions for his comrades instead of following Peitel’s wishes.
‘Well, Peitel didn’t do anything when he was being tortured and dying… And it seems like he wanted to participate on either side a thousand years ago, but he had to hide because of Peitel. It’s not that strange.’
Getting up from his seat, Caltor adjusted his clothes.
«I’m ready. We can leave immediately.»
«It’s okay if you take a few days to recover.»
«No, if my combat skills are needed, then it’s better to go later. But it seems like there are many strong people here…»
Jin, Murakan, Luna, Luntia.
With the four people in the room, even if Peitel manifested again like before, they could easily subdue him. When Murakan had temporarily regained some strength back then, he had overwhelmed Peitel alone.
Of course, Peitel might be able to manifest in a state where he could exert a stronger influence on the human world compared to before, but Jin wasn’t too worried.
«Well, then, the red owl will be waiting, so leave as soon as you’re ready.»
«Yes, Sir Jin.»
«And feel free to speak comfortably. It’s awkward to hear formal language from a dragon who’s over two thousand years old. You don’t have to think of me as too imposing. Sir Caltor, you’re also part of Tikan’s family.»
«Uh, is that so…?»
Shortly after, Jin, the flagbearers, Valeria, and Murakan left the room, followed by Veris and Kuzan.
«Sir Jin.»
«Veris?»
«Well… I didn’t come for anything else. I just wanted to say thank you.»
Jin was surprised. The image that comes to mind when you think of Veris was Enya’s teacher, but she was also known for her sharp tongue.
«Whether it’s me, Kuzan, or Yulian, if any of us hadn’t met you, we would have ended up like Joshua’s hounds, doing useless things and being discarded, or we might have been killed.»
«Why state the obvious?»
«I just felt like I should thank you again after seeing that idiot crying with Caltor today… Anyway, have a good trip. In a couple of hours, I have to go to the Garden of Swords to check on the flagbearers and Magic Knight units. I need to see how they’re using magic.»
«I’m also grateful, Veris. Take care. When you’re teaching, don’t hold back on insults and threats, whether it’s elders, knights, or flagbearers. Just tell them it’s my order. If they can’t follow properly, give them an appropriate punishment on your own.»
“That sounds good. Okay.”
A little later, Yulian and Caltor went out to the launch platform.
After marking the coordinates, the red owl quickly transported the group to the location where island 32 of the Blue Bird Islands used to be.
«Uwok. Ugh!»
«Every time we move, it really… No matter how vulnerable dragons are to spatial movement, the other dragons don’t seem to be like that. Even Sir Caltor, who came with his weakened body, is fine.»
«Damn it, I can’t get used to this feeling. Other dragons must not be as delicate as me.»
«Yeah, that’s probably the case.»
Looking down from the sky, the Blue Bird Islands, despite having some islands destroyed due to past battles, still maintained an overall appearance that resembled a group of birds in flight.
As it was winter, the unique thunderstorms and strong winds of the Blue Bird Islands weren’t as severe as usual. The group landed the red owl on the sea and settled on the huge rock where island 32 used to be.
«Try drawing the Thunder Sword once… No, go ahead and draw it, Sir Jin.»
As Sigmund was unsheathed, Jin and the group immediately recognized the pattern that appeared on the blade, the same pattern they had seen before.
«Oh, it’s the same pattern we saw before. It’s Gram’s pattern, boy. As Caltor said, it seems like Gram’s power is still present in this place. Oh, Yulian, why are you suddenly like this?»
Simultaneously, Yulian’s eyes rolled back and he trembled uncontrollably.
«Could it be a side effect due to a god’s manifestation? Yulian, are you alright?»
«I can hear Sir Peitel’s voice…!»
«What are you saying?»
After a moment, Yulian spoke with trembling lips.
«H-Help… He’s asking for help…!»
