A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 237



Episode 237

A few days have passed since Zeke and his party escaped from the Deep Sea Tribe’s island.

After Zeke subdued the captured Abyss wizard with bloodshot eyes and interrogated him he was able to find out things he had not known before.

The greatest achievement was information about the knights who attacked Kali.

‘The baptists…’

The wizard of the abyss called those knights Baptists.

‘The group of black magicians who gathered around the Book of the Dead the followers of the fallen saints called Narak and Devils. If it’s a baptism from such people then it’s obvious.’

Considering that they had even mastered the demonic technique of throwing it was certain that they had brought the power of the demon world through baptism and bestowed it upon the knights.

Zeke was able to learn the art of throwing because he could directly manipulate mana but this was impossible for ordinary humans.

The very fact that the Baptists were able to use the art of casting was one of the proofs that they had transcended humanity.

Zeke speculated that the baptized knights may have been subjected to human modification experiments like the Mines.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain how he got up again completely fine after getting hurt.

‘If you are baptized even a Blue Knight can display powers that are almost as powerful as a Red Knight. If you can use the throwing technique on top of that its utility value increases even more.’

Sig believed that these Baptists were also deeply connected to Siemens.

It seemed that they were operating spies by raising and brainwashing them from a young age like the Night Killers and then placing them all over the continent then giving orders at crucial moments.

‘This may be the reason why the Empire was able to advance into the Central Continent so quickly during the Third Continental War.’

I wanted to find out more but as I delved deeper the wizard’s soul disappeared so this was the limit.

With his eyes wide open Zeke could feel how powerful the gold on the wizards’ bodies was.

Moreover he also realized that the gold was not magic but a type of ancient sorcery.

Zeke thought about the spell but since he couldn’t come to a conclusion right away he turned his attention to something else and took out the body and relics he had received from Poseidon.

The body was shaped like a part of the horn he had received at that time and the holy relic was a brightly shining bead.

Looking into the bead he saw waves constantly rippling inside. Zig checked the information on the body and the relic.

Strangely no information about the body and relics received from Poseidon appeared.

“I know it’s something precious but what can I use it for?”

Zigg took another close look at the dragon’s body and the holy relics thinking that he might use them someday so he put them in his inventory for now.

This time he took out the spear made of the divine stone that had sealed the Sea God’s tablet from his inventory.

It was an ordinary spear made of rough adamantium sharpened into a point and set into a shaft.

I checked with bloodshot eyes and I couldn’t sense any aura of God’s death from the adamantium.

“It’s surprising that there’s a spear that can even seal a divine dragon.”

Perhaps there were more divine dragons left sealed away by the Godslayer like the Haesin.

‘Siemens Apollyon. Who would have thought that he was immortal and used the Spear of the Godslayer?’

I’ve heard that the great sage used the Divine Stone to seal the Demon King but I never thought that Siemens Apollyon would be the first to seal the divine dragons with the Divine Stone.

I wanted to ask the wizard of the Abyss about this as well but it was too bad that his soul was destroyed by the gold before I could do so.

It seemed that in order to ask for this level of information I would have to find a being called an apostle.

It was while Zeke was putting the spear back into his inventory and calming his thoughts.

Peter Pan or rather Nerissa ran towards Zeke.

“I see the harbor over there!”

It seemed that they had almost reached the port city of Jason.

Zeke also saw the sight of a huge port city in the distance.

Nerissa who had come up next to Zeke looked at Jason with curiosity.

“Is that Jason? I’ve only heard of him through rumors.”

“Have you never been to Jason before?”

“Of course not. What are you going to do if you get caught hanging around here!”

If you look closely they are just a group of innocent young men from a fishing village but on the outside they are a famous pirate group from the South Sea so it makes sense.

While on the boat Zeke explained the migration plan to Nerissa and the fish-people.

It was a proposal from Kali to develop the uninhabited island create a village of fish people there and actively help other fish people to migrate there as well.

All the fishermen including Nerissa agreed to Zeke’s proposal.

Zik planned to use it as a trade route connecting it with the Kingdom of Cuzco.

As the sea god regained his power the seas of the South Sea known as the Sea of ​​Death became calm and it seemed that trade with the southern continent would become more active.

Zik wanted to leave the trading window to the island of the fishermen that would be created later.

‘As the fish people gain power and the island becomes richer I will gain a powerful navy.’

Zeke planned to form an alliance with the Fishmen Youth Group like the Rose Knights and grow together.

The negotiations with the fish-people also ended smoothly and he also met Poseidon and was promoted to a black knight so he gained a lot.

As I was looking back on this journey with satisfaction Triangle and Neverland entered Jason’s Port.

“and!”

Nerissa looked around with her mouth open at the sight of the huge port and developed metropolis she had never seen before.

Just looking at her no one would have guessed that she was Peter Pan the fearsome pirate known for his great adventures.

The fish-people were so conspicuous that they decided to stay on the ship for a while and then move to a temporary shelter where they could live.

Zeke planned to meet with Kali along with Nerissa to discuss relocating the fish-people to the South Sea Archipelago.

“All fish people including you will have the citizenship of the southern kingdom of Cusco. The archipelago itself is my territory but I am granting permission for fish people with Cusco citizenship to move there and live there.”

“Hmm. It’s difficult. Is it really necessary to make it that complicated?”

“The fish people have never had a place to belong so their rights have not been properly guaranteed. If they had a formal status they could have raised the issue of persecution of fish people and escalated it to an international issue when problems arise.”

“Aha so that’s how you’re going to protect all of us.”

As Zeke was explaining to Nerissa the plan for the fish-people to migrate to the archipelago a carriage quickly approached Zeke.

“My lord!”

Surprisingly it was Felix who came out to meet us in a carriage.

“Felix? How did you know I was here?”

“King Kali has ordered that we be notified immediately as soon as the ship comes in! But get on board! We have to go quickly!”

Zeke told Nerissa to return to the ship and prepared to move.

“What! I want to go too!”

“I think something bad has happened. If you’re on the ship I’ll send someone to contact you so stay quiet and don’t cause any trouble.”

Zeke sent the grumpy Nerissa back to the Neverland and boarded the carriage with Felix.

We’ve been together for quite some time but this is the first time I’ve seen Felix look this anxious.

As Zeke got into the carriage Felix slowly opened his mouth.

“King Kali has already gone to the Four Seasons.”

“You should be recuperating for a while but why did you suddenly go to Sagyeseong? What’s going on?”

Felix took out Carly’s telegram from his bosom with a stern face and handed it over.

“King Kali told me to tell your lord.”

Zeke opened the telegram Felix had handed him and read it quickly.

His pupils grew round.

“Abel is appointed as a Guardian Knight?”

It was clear that the motion to appoint him as a Guardian Knight had been withdrawn when Zeke blocked Abel’s deal with the Empire.

But it was absurd that Abel who had not been seen for a while was suddenly appointed as a guardian knight.

Moreover it was not a notice that the agenda for appointing a guardian knight was being discussed but that the agenda had already been passed and the appointment would proceed.

It was a very rare occurrence in the Draker family who were very strict about procedures.

Zeke asked Felix.

“Did Sister Carly leave any separate comments about this situation?”

Felix shook his head.

“Nothing else. He just told me to wait at the port and bring him to Atlas as soon as his lord arrived.”

Zeke frowned and looked lost in thought.

Originally I thought I had found a way to stop Abel’s side by saving Kali’s life who should have died on the Deep Sea Tribe’s island but Abel had taken the lead in another way.

‘If Abel receives the title of Guardian Knight Siemens’ influence within the family will become stronger.’

Assuming that the Baptists who followed Kali were hiding throughout the Draker family bloodline this meant that Siemens was ready to stab Draker in the back at any time.

‘Abel Draker. What kind of trick did you use?’

* * *

Atumpel of the Four Seasons was quite busy preparing for the appointment ceremony of Abel’s Guardian Knight.

Before the inauguration ceremony began the heads of the major bloodlines including Arthur Draker the head of the family the members of the Cross Council the members of the Council of Elders and the Guardian Knights were gathered at a round table in the council hall of Atumfel sitting together.

Then the door opened and Kali dressed in silver armor came in.

“It’s been a long time my lord.”

Carly sat down with a stern expression.

As she sat down Arthur Draker stood up.

“It seems like everyone who was supposed to come has come so let’s get started.”

He took something out of his bosom.

It was none other than the golden dragon shield that symbolized the guardian knights of the Draker family.

“As previously announced today is the day of the appointment ceremony to appoint Abel Draker as a Guardian Knight.”

Arthur Draker said showing the golden card.

“Normally the appointment would have been decided after a meeting of the elders and the general assembly but after reviewing the case I Arthur Draker the head of the household exercised my discretion and decided to appoint him as a Guardian Knight.”

At those words the members of the assembly began to murmur.

Guardian Knight was an important position that allowed him to participate in the great council that could move the Drake.

Because it was a clear abuse of authority for the head of the household to decide on such a position at his own discretion.

That was when.

thud!

The conference room door opened and someone came in.

For a moment the atmosphere in the conference room froze.

A middle-aged man with a rough appearance wearing a red gown.

He looked more like a wizard than a knight.

Arthur Draker looked at him and smirked.

“Ramon it’s been a while.”

He is none other than Ramon Siemens.

It was the Siemens family.

The conference room was abuzz when Ramon Siemens who rarely attended conferences showed up.

Ramon Siemens walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to Arthur Drake seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere.

As the atmosphere in the conference room became even more tense due to his appearance one of the members of the Cross Council raised his hand.

“I have something to tell you Master!”

Arthur Draker nodded.

“Congressman Ulrian. Go ahead.”

Representative Ullian who is usually not shy about making strong statements stood up and began to speak his mind.

“Even so how can the Guardian Knight position be decided by the sole discretion of the head of the household! This is something that cannot happen in the thousand-year history of Draker…!”

Then Arthur Draker raised his hand to stop him.

“There’s no need to bring up a thousand years of history or anything like that. Anyway I understand what you’re saying. You’re saying that Abel Drake doesn’t have the qualifications to be a Guardian Knight.”

The elder frowned and denounced him.

“Rather than that I mean you have to follow the procedure! Everyone here is seated after being recognized according to the proper procedure. If you break that proper procedure you’re bound to get into trouble!”

Arthur Draker nodded at the congressman’s words.

“That makes sense.”

That was when.

Suddenly Ramon raised his head and looked at the congressman.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here and you’re still talking about the same old stuff.”

The face of the congressman who spoke at Ramon Siemens’s remarks turned bright red.

He shouted at Ramon.

“Sir Ramon! Watch your words and actions! You may be the head of Siemens but don’t you know that everyone in this conference room is of equal standing!”

Then Ramon stood up from his seat and the congressman flinched and stepped back.

He said that but he also knew that it would be reckless to confront Ramon Siemens who held the power of the Siemens family in his hands.

Carly who was there at the time also spoke up.

“I also agree with what Senator Ulian said. The Guardian Knight is the strongest sword that protects the Draker family. The more it is in such a position the more the procedure is necessary…”

“It’s a solid sword.”

Ramon said stroking his chin at Carly’s words.

He looked around at everyone in the meeting including Kali and said:

“If it’s a black knight wouldn’t it be a sturdy sword that can protect the Draker family?”
