219 Episode 71. The Child of Prophecy.

On October 7, 1797, what Jean confirmed was a newsletter from Hufester. The newsletter was giving the front page a ceremony four days ago to mark the appointment of a knight from the Shucheron family.

(The ceremony of the central knight of the Shucheron Kingdom was unusually organized by the first prince, Tolian Schcheron, instead of King Lumon Schcheron.

Most noteworthy of all, the next householders of Looncandel, including Joshua Looncandel of Looncandel, McLoran, Tuko, Niltro and Ken, attended Prince Tolian's ceremony.

It can be inferred from the fact that Prince Tolian has ended the competition for succession, and that Siron Looncandel in the past gave Prince Tolian a guardian article...….)

Jean clearly watched Joshua open the volcano 'daily ago' and disintegrate and die.

If he really died, this article announcing 'four days ago' could not have been established in the first place.

Gilly came to her side anxiously as Jean kept her eyes on the newsletter for a while.

"Lord."

"......as expected, there was something. He didn't deserve to die so easily."

Gillie and her colleagues had already heard about what had happened in the Blue Bird Islands. So they, too, did not quickly understand the newsletter describing Joshua as alive.

"There's no way Confucius mistook Joshua Looncandel's face...... that's strange. I don't think Confucius killed him, or Bubar Gaston transformed him.….”

Jean shook her head at Kashmir's horse.

"It's unlikely it's a band or a transformation. His decisive weapon was so powerful that King Tuo of the Ming Dynasty lost his arms. It was a power that only Looncandel could show. You wouldn't know if you used another sword."

Many martial artists have a tie and a duel, but without Looncandel's black "Blessed Body," even a ten-star knight could not be imitated. The body can't hold out.

"Well, it's more likely that Joshua, who appeared at the Schuesteron knighthood, was a fake."

"We need to check that out. But somehow......I think that snake-like guy might have pulled some strings."

"Well, wouldn't he be cursed like Shree?”

Enya whispered, looking at Shri's countenance.

"If it did, it should have been noticeable that it was regenerated when the body disintegrated.”

"Sir, then, what is the possibility of using Numerus' tears?"

"The tears of Numerus say that intense light covers all sides when they are expressed. When Joshua died, he shined all over because of him, but he looked completely different.”

"Ha, I was sleeping all the time then...What the hell happened to your big brother?”

"......reproduction?"

When Jean uttered the word, her colleagues drew attention.

"Confucian, clone?"

"I thought maybe it was a clone. Looking back at his attitude and stories to me in the Bluebird Islands, I can't judge anyone other than Joshua."

It is naturally impossible to clone a human being.

However, as an unconvincing situation occurred, it was necessary to think about a method known as 'unavoidable'.

The curses of immortality that Shuri has, and the compass and drinking stones that Bubar made, were also known to be impossible not long ago.

"Continue talking."

"This is my assumption. He's got a bunch of cloned himself, and he's sending one of them to the Blue Bird Islands. Feytel's contractor, Julian, must have been one of his most important forces, and he decided that Julian had a problem because the island was covered with a brain war.”

Jean looked at Julian.

He had fainted, having not yet awakened from the aftermath of the incarnation, and was bound by a restraint.

"Maybe he recognized Julian for causing the binge. Kuzan and Veris, they didn't seem to get along very well.”

"So I came to the island to subdue it...…?”

"Yes. The reason I came alone without a escort, because I didn't want to lose another competent subordinate to the runaway Julian. Or to keep the secret about the Bluebird Islands."

At that time, Joshua visited the Blue Bird Islands on a small boat without even an executive engineer. That's on Jean's mind from the start.

"Maybe he didn't bring an article because he could defeat Julian by himself enough. But considering Joshua's personality, it's hard to understand. He even blew himself up when he fought Garmund."

"That mean bird...... no, I just couldn't understand that the first rider tried to blow himself up. Master, I was losing against the Ming dynasty.But he's not the one who's going to give up his life."

"He didn't seem to expect to see me in the Bluebird Islands. And then I decided I could overpower myself, and then I confessed that I was coveting spirit. I didn't say I was going to kill myself until the end, despite my provocation. Until then, he only thought of the future that would take me and take away Solderlet's contract."

It was supposed to be my strength.

What Joshua said as soon as he saw Jin's spirit.

I didn't know back then, but it was a strange story. It's as if he knew from the beginning that he would be the master of spirit.

"But Garmund came in and things turned around. He was on the defensive in an instant....I think I've made a decision. Even if you put off holding me, you have to let my power drop."

"Didn't he calculate that the power of the volcano could kill you?"

"He's a nine-star knight, too. There's no way you don't know that Garmund's power is enough to protect me. So, after killing or maiming Garmund with volcanoes, I decided to seek a later date to rob me of the contract. This is my home.”

In Jin's opinion, if Joshua's life was "one," it was a choice that could never be self-destructed. But in many cases, Garmundra could have used it to eliminate power.

As far as Joshua knows, Garmund must have been Jean's strongest power.

There has been silence for some time.

It wasn't a rashly positive assumption, but colleagues were thinking about what might happen if Jin's assumption was true.

"......I have a headache. If, as Confucius said, Joshua of the Bluebird Archipelago was a clone, I don't know how to deal with it."

"Why don't you meet Lord Xiron and talk to him, Confucius?"

Jean shook her head at Alisa's question.

"In fact, this is a succession war. Asking my father for help only proves my incompetence, and I have no hard evidence. There's no way to prove I've seen death myself.”

"That's true, too.”

"Whether Joshua at the Schuzzeron knighthood is a stand-in, whether the guy I met is a clone, or all the wrong stories are all wrong. All I can do now is hypothesize. When Julian wakes up, we'll have more information."

"Kuzan and Veris. I'll also order the seven-color crew to search for the two."

When I left the Blue Bird Islands, I couldn't find them for long. He judged that the chances of survival were slim, and that Joshua's people might visit the island.

"You don't have to find it first. At this time, people might send people to the Bluebird Islands and get caught on their tails. If you're alive, I'm sure you'll give the signal first. They realize I'm not their real enemy."

Shaking... ...

The man in the chair was shaking all over. The cold sweat and high fever that covered the whole body, the unbearable pain, and the occasional disheartening shock.

And a sense of defeat with no bottom in sight.

All this was a phenomenon that Joshua experienced when he lost one body.

Whoo-woo-woong.

The blackness clung together in front of him.

Young-ki, the very power Joshua desires.

Soon there was a figure of a woman in spirit, and she looked down at Joshua and smiled.

"It's a pity that the owner of Looncandel is shaking alone in this basement. It's like seeing an orphan who's been abandoned and caught in the rain. How do you feel? Orphan."

The darkness of the basement covered the woman's face. Only two eyes with a strong amber color are glistening.

"Are you here for a laugh?"

"Yes, that's right. I'm here to laugh at you. Haha, you stupid bastard! Why did you do that? Did it seem easy for me to build your body?”

Joshua stared at the woman without answering for a while.

"Don't stare at me. Give me an excuse. Was that really the best you could do? Then I'm disappointed."

"I had no choice but to kill the Ming dynasty that the youngest summoned."

Ha ha ha ha!

The woman burst into laughter. Then he clenched his teeth, stopping laughing.

"Now, here's one problem for the fool. Did the Ming Dynasty of Garmunde die? No, his body doesn't belong to this world in the first place."

"......the Ming dynasty is alive?"

"We're already trapped in a dead world, but we're alive from the point of view of being healthy. So you're just throwing away the body I've built for you."

He was speaking with a smile, but there was deep contempt in the woman's eyes.

"Really, I don't know why prophecies pointed to people like you. If it were your first or youngest sister. No, it would've been easier if it were just Dipus or Mary.….”

a deep-seated disgrace

"Or your father, whose prophecy originally indicated. If he hadn't gone up to Changseong against fate, how good would it have been if he had met me before? There was no reason for me to help half a cent like you, was there?”

Joshua waited quietly for the woman's jeers to end.

It was because she knew well that she could never leave her or go against her anyway. Maybe after laughing for a long time, you'll bow your head as usual.

Whoo.......

The woman sighed, stopping the curse.

"Well, that's good. Knowing that your youngest sister can call the Ming Dynasty was a good harvest. If I'd realized it at a more important time......It's terrible just imagining it."

The woman gently wrapped her arms around Joshua's neck.

"And, Shree. I've found his whereabouts. It's even more upsetting for Jean to have Shree, but......everything, in the end, will come back to you. Child of prophecy. I'll make you a new alter ego."

"How much do you need this time?”

The woman smiled broadly at Joshua's question.

"With the one you gave me last time, we still have enough ingredients."
