Chapter 823 Chapter

207. Elona’s decision

After leaving the secret palace, Elona Ziple walked on the open sea for a long time.

It was because he didn’t want to go back quickly to those who had awakened him. Obviously, he is a person who fights for his family, but he has awakened from a seal after a thousand years.

Elona wasn’t too happy about that fact. It was difficult to read his inner self as if he were looking into a dark and deep well.

‘Cold wind… It’s cold.’

There’s no way a human who climbed the Changseong felt the cold from the sea breeze. She felt the solitude of her heart as cold.

As Ameris guessed, she was born with strangely strong powers, and the reason was the thought of the sun god.

Of course, Elona doesn’t know what power she possesses. It was the same with Ziple at the time.

Elona’s transparent footprints were being taken on the sea. However, to Elona’s eyes as she turned around and looked at her footprints, they looked bloody red instead of transparent.

The blood of the countless people he had killed a thousand years ago would be all over his body.

I have never heard a plea for help or a request to relieve pain. Most of the enemies who met Elona at that time did not recognize the moment they died.

Those who had the power to survive facing Elona had nothing to ask for mercy. Like Temar and the teenage knights, they fought back or cursed and retreated.

Elona had never retreated first on the battlefield.

‘At that time, I think I wanted to disappear while fighting. With the help of someone who could kill me like Temar… Why did you think that? Have you ever hated the family name? Didn’t you want to kill more people?’

I don’t know.

My head was pounding the more I thought about it, but I couldn’t stop thinking. So, when the pain deepened, magical powers unexpectedly arose and scattered the sea at random.

When the magical power of the freezing attribute spread, the entire sea in the area froze, and when the flame-type magical energy surged, it melted again. The magic power that became wind created a huge storm in an instant, and lightning rushed into it.

All of that wasn’t magic, it was just magic generated by Elona’s mood, but if it were nearby, even the fleet wouldn’t have been able to withstand it and would have become a wreck.

‘Shall we just go into the deep sea and not come out? don’t go back to the It might be better to do that. But the family…’

The family that Zipple must protect.

All of the faces of the members I vaguely remember had only two expressions. A face full of fear or contempt.

The former did not make sense. Because he had no intention of hurting the family members.

The latter made sense. They judged that Elona was only strong and did not properly carry out her mission as a zip.

‘I am still the same as then. I feel confused even though I think I have to fight for my family.’

I hope someone can put an end to this mess.

The moment she thought about that, Elona confirmed that a group of lights were approaching from afar in the dark night sky.

It was Zipple’s 1st Fleet.

“Ko-Jek….”

If that’s the case, the family will be on board. Elona looked up at the fleet and cleaned up the scattered magic, and the fleet descended and settled in front of her.

“The family head, Beradin Ziple, meets the old hero of the family.”

Veradin landed on the frozen sea and knelt on one knee. Behind him, all of Jiple’s leaders and wizards were saluting.

Elona was shocked.

She had never been treated so respectfully by her family. On the day I graduated, I received a formal congratulation, but the atmosphere was completely different from now.

Rather, it was more like a rebuke. You could have killed the teenage knight, so why did you miss it? Why didn’t you destroy the whole city of Runkandel?

Because of this, Elona was choking and her heart was tight on the days when there was congratulations. It was more painful than anything else to face the eyes of the family watching over him.

“I’m sorry I came to see you now. Because we are not enough, we have neglected Sir Elona until now.”

“…can you lift your head a little?”

Elona and Beradin’s eyes met. Elona couldn’t read any hatred, contempt, or lies from his words.

“Is it you who called me?”

“The Tower of Stories, not me, unlocked Lady Elona’s seal. Embarrassingly, we didn’t even know of Elona-sama’s existence until the Tower of Stories came forward.”

“The tower… me.”

Tower of Story The place where Elona spent the most time along with the battlefield a thousand years ago.

As soon as he recalled the tower, his vague memories and emotions quickly came to life.

When interacting with the tower and generating magic, Elona felt more secure than ever. The Tower of Stories was her only refuge and friend.

“Nearly a thousand years have passed, but the Tower of Stories still hasn’t disappeared. That’s why the energy that called me was so friendly.”

“I dare say, it seems that the tower has been waiting for Elona-nim up until now. As I just said, we didn’t even know of Elona’s existence, but the Tower opened her seal on its own as soon as the conditions were met. Even if my life could have been in danger.”

At those words, Elona felt the solitude accumulated inside her melt away like snow. It was as if a forgotten friend was giving him a hug.

“I thought you, the owner of the house, were in danger just because of me.”

“The tower has judged Elona-sama to be more important to the family than me, and that is absolute. So never mind.”

“But you said you knew nothing about me until recently. I am not of much value.”

“I peeked into Lady Elona’s life when the tower opened the seal through me. I would have judged the same as TOP.”

“May I go to the Tower of Stories?”

“In the family, Elona-sama can do whatever she wants. Among the family’s land, there is no place Elona-sama cannot go, among the family’s things, there is nothing Elona-sama cannot possess, and among the family members, there is no person Elona-sama cannot control. Even me, the head of the household.”

It was difficult for Elona to choose an answer, so she just stared at Beradin and his followers for a while.

“Then what do you and your family want from me?”

“Please protect the family.”

“It’s the only thing I know how to do.”

“If you want to help the family because it’s your duty, Elona-sama already fulfilled her responsibility a thousand years ago. It’s just that the incompetent and arrogant ancestors at the time did not acknowledge that fact. If you want to help the family with compassion or affection, the current Ziffle is not the family that Elona-sama used to know. If you want to help just because it’s a request from me, the head of the family, I won’t resent you if you just refuse.”

The more she talked with Beradin, the more Elona felt her inner self calm like a lake.

Soon, Elona was able to understand the reason. It was because everything he said was a warm comfort that he had never experienced before.

And the more Beradin read Elona’s heart, the more he became angry with the arrogant and foolish ancestors of those days.

‘The scum-like writers who don’t even deserve to be called ancestors. Even on the day the demon stone is completed, your history will not come out again.’

When he assimilated with the tower and unlocked Elona’s seal, it wasn’t just Elona’s life that Beradin looked at. It was also a glimpse of Zipple’s incompetence at that time when he could not achieve his long-cherished wish even with such perfect conditions.

“The words you say are a great comfort to me, Veradin.”

“It is just devastating that the hero who protected the family was so lonely.”

“Thanks to that, I now know what I want to do.”

“Tell me and I will help you with anything.”

“I… want to live a better life than before. I want to avoid unwanted killing, and I don’t want to feel lonely when I look back on my day before going to bed.”

“Can I understand you by saying that you want a life of giving in retirement?”

“That’s not it. Since Top called me by risking the life of the family head, it must mean that Top still loves the family. So am I. It meant that I wanted to do things for my family and achieve what I just said.”

“Then I understand that you want to exclude meaningless killing and go to the battlefield full of glory, not loneliness and chaos.”

“I think so. I can do nothing but fight and kill my enemies.”

“I can’t say there are no nasty fights. However, if one day, Elona-nim felt distressed when she went to the battlefield. You are welcome to leave the family at any time.”

“I don’t want to leave. Under no circumstances will I leave unless the tower abandons the family. Instead, I said that there is no one I cannot have in my family, so if that day comes again like a thousand years ago, then I want to change my family as I wish.”

“All of these things do not require my permission, Lady Elona.”

“But you are the head of the household. Until that day comes, I will become a faithful follower of the family head. Also, somehow I feel like that day will never come. I have never felt so comfortable in my life as I do now.”

“It is overrated. But it’s true that it makes me feel better when you say that.”

“So get up now. I feel embarrassed and apologetic to see you keep looking at me.”

Beradin slowly raised himself. Elona smiled broadly. It was an expression he had never made a thousand years ago.

“Then, I will take you to the Tower of Stories.”

Kojek started flying to the Tower of Stories. Elona looked at the city under the window and captured the scenery different from a thousand years ago. Unlike back then, the desire to sincerely protect those cities was welling up.

“house owner.”

“Tell me Elona-sama.”

“Since a thousand years have passed, there must be a mountain of new things I need to know. There is one thing I am most curious about.”

“What is?”

“Among Zipple’s enemies right now, is there someone stronger than me?”

Veradin immediately thought of Shiron and Ban, and Jin and Murakan.

“…Lady Elona. Temar Runcandel. How was it in the era when Runcandel’s first head of household was there?”

Elona thought for a while and then replied.

“I don’t think it was there at the time.”

“Then it probably won’t be any different now.”
