Chapter 71: Intertwining Fates (3) (2/2)
Jin intentionally did not mention Euria’s name He didn’t trust Quikantel with such classified information
“With that in mind, how did Vyuretta approach Lathry in the first place? Seeing that Vyuretta hasn’t returned Lathry yet, I’m pretty sure he knew of the existence of Az Mil’s contractor On top of that, the fact that the contractor is young…”
“For sure Hmm… For the thousand years I was asleep, was there a spell that could detect contractors?”
Quikantel shook her head
“There’s no way so like that could be developed, whether it was a thousand years ago or today No one could tell who the contractor was until the contractor discovered their oers”
“We never know Those Zipfel bastards I don’t want to admit it, but they’re a pretty impressive bunch”
“Okay, but even if that kind ofthe contractors?”
“They can benefit in tays Any contractor outside of their control is considered a threat, so they can simply eliminate them Also, if the contractor dies, the Zipfel Clan has an opportunity to form a contract with the then-vacant God”
Jin answered, attracting Quikantel’s attention
“Just for that…? Don’t they already have immense national power? One or two contractors won’t be of any threat”
“I don’t know about dragons, but humans’ thirst for power never ends Also, if a few contractors were to get together, they would definitely be a force to be reckoned with”
Quikantel had a hard ti that the Zipfels were a clan that was already at the top of the world, she didn’t think that they needed to take drastic actions for such trivial reement
“Definitely a possibility I know best about the Zipfels’ greed Let’s just put it this way First, they have a method to track down contractors Second, if they find any non-Zipfel contractors, they’ll eliminate them”
“Hold on Do we really need to assume that? We can just ask Vyuretta”
“You serious? Stop talking bullshi+t, Quikantel If you were a kidnapper, would you just spill everything? Get your shi+t together Froer”
It wasn’t that Enya ‘er
A few years later, Enya would be assassinated by the Zipfels, and not a single word about it would appear on the news Instead, a new pureblood Zipfel would become Olta’s contractor and be known around the world
As a regressor, Jin was certain of this theory He remembered the different events and occurrences in his past life very clearly
“I have er Until that child fully grows, nobody can harht Leaving her alone will lead to her death’
These words were about to come out of Jin’s mouth, but Murakan said it a little louder
“Quikantel, there’s nothing wrong with being very cautious But it’s impossible for you to be beside Enya 24/7 for 365 days and et the hell outta the Vermont Empire The academy relays Enya’s every move to the Zipfels”
“That child has never left the empire since birth In fact, her entire fae their life because of an unknown and uncertain threat?”
“Life is only enjoyable if you’re still breathing Look, this is only a suggestion The choice is yours anyways”
“Hmmm… Ms Quikantel, please listen to what I have to say”
Quikantel turned towards Jin
“Murakan and I will search for Lathry We will do whatever it takes But if Lathry is discovered imprisoned or injured, and we tell you about it, ill you do?”
“I would…”
Quikantel clenched her teeth
“…relocate Enya”
“Then I would do that now If Lathry is already imprisoned or injured as we speak, no matter how fast you are, it will be too late I humbly request that you ht, Quikantel Move Olta’s contractor and her family to a safer place We’ll determine whether Vyuretta is full of shi+t or not, and then we’ll er stand her ground There wasn’t a single flaw in their arguenuinely concerned about Enya’s future
‘They are more worried for Enya’s safety than I am… I have a lot to learn from them’
Phew
Quikantel heaved a deep sigh and nodded
“Alright, let’s do that I will assist you two”
“Oh, no need It’s fine We’ll deal with it ourselves Sure, ot a little weaker, but you don’t need to help on That Vyuretta bitch is washed up”
“…And hoill you meet him?”
“What do you mean, hoill I y”
“Are you saying this even after knowing how oing to take the Runcandel kid and head to the Zipfels’ mainland?”
Jin and Murakan faced Quikantel with a look of surprise
“What are you startled by? The kid has an aura like that Tey?”
“Hmmm… Quikantel, can I entrust you with these secrets?”
“I still hold Te with one of his successors reminds me of the old days”
Temar Runcandel, Murakan, and Quikantel were close friends When Murakan and Quikantel were together, that is
“Anyways, I will call Vyuretta He’ll react to uys can deal with him after that”
