A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 72

Tie walked following behind Basto.

While doing so, she kept watching ahead of Basto.

A few steps away, she could see a chubby man and a slender woman walking ahead.

‘Those people are the 2nd and 3rd ranked mercenary leaders….’

Should she call it fortunate?

Thanks to Veil’s quick explanation in front of the Armory, she had finished grasping the situation.

Of course, that made it even more problematic.

‘What should I really, really do…?’

Tie learned for the first time today that a place called the Association existed.

Naturally, she also learned for the first time that most of the upper mercenary groups belonged to that Association.

The important thing was that unlike Agavert, which still had a long way to go, they were ‘verified’ individuals.

And the reason those verified individuals were here was none other than,

‘To capture Ppupppu!’

Feeling dizzy, Tie hugged the bag in her arms even tighter.

Before coming out of the subspace, Lucalion had returned to being a black stone.

Ppupppu sneered at such Lucalion for a full 5 minutes as if it served him right, then came out of the front pocket and moved to the main storage space as if to show off.

He had a happy expression like a lottery winner who moved from a cramped rental to a 50-pyeong owned home.

Ppupppu, who had been rolling around freely in the spacious bag enjoying his freedom, had just fallen into an amazing nap a little while ago.

Just then, she could hear the 2nd ranked mercenary leader speaking to the 3rd ranked mercenary leader ahead.

“The Factory Manager said Krazaru’s core has disappeared.”

“Does that make sense? We dealt with that villain but there’s no core.”

“I don’t know the inside story either. That’s just what the Factory Manager said. He’s been under delusion for quite a while but his mind is clear now. That means Krazaru was somehow destroyed.”

“So then, where exactly is that villain’s core?”

At the female mercenary leader’s irritated pressing, the male mercenary leader frowned.

Even from Tie’s perspective, it was a gaze full of annoyance.

“I said I don’t know just a moment ago, Elanes. If there was someone who knew that, would Valentis Luminen have stepped forward to come all the way here?”

Wait, Valentis Luminen?

At the familiar name, Tie tilted her head.

That was because Tie already knew that name.

Where did she know it from? Definitely before being trapped in the subspace….

Tie unconsciously stopped in place. And her eyes widened.

‘The weapon!’

She remembered where she had seen that name.

It was the very cause of all these events happening.

It was a name she had seen on the sign in front of the weapon ‘Heart of Krazaru’.

[The core was recovered through a donation by Conqueror ‘Valentis Luminen’, and was born as a weapon in the hands of craftsman ‘Berugon Gregor’.]

The conversation she had with Veil also flashed through her mind.

‘Veil oppa. Who is Valentis Luminen?’

‘A Paladin.’

The strongest one who conquered a large Mastone at the age of twenty and survived alone from Krazaru’s subspace.

The Paladin Captain who had led the Paladins for 30 years since then.

“Tie?”

At Tie’s stopped figure, Basto lowered his waist and whispered.

But Tie only blinked without answering.

It was because she was thinking hard in her head.

‘Valentis Luminen is coming here? Really?’

Since arriving in this world, Tie’s goal had been just one thing.

To find the Paladin Headquarters and ask about Father.

But things started going wrong from Jedo Gate.

In Pearl City, which she visited after passing through the gate, an incident occurred with the appearance of a maritime Mastone,

And when an unexpected situation arose even in the Weapon District where she had only planned to stop by briefly,

‘Tie is tired now too….’

Even the bright Tie was reaching the point where everything seemed hopeless.

She had naturally been anxious about when she would be able to visit the Paladin Headquarters.

But,

“Is Valentis Luminen really, really coming here?”

If what he said was true, wouldn’t that mean Tie didn’t need to find the headquarters?

Since Valentis Luminen was coming here directly.

“Yes. I also heard it just a moment ago.”

At Basto’s answer, Tie’s mouth fell open.

But she couldn’t just be happy about it.

“It seems the Imperial Family also heard the news that Krazaru’s core has disappeared.”

Because the reason Valentis Luminen was coming was none other than ‘Krazaru’s core’.

‘But the core is….’

Tie gulped.

Her gaze turned again to the bag she held tightly against her chest.

‘It’s not a core anymore, right?’

Her heart pounded as deep worries filled her head.

What would happen if she said that Krazaru’s core was actually an egg, and Ppupppu was born from inside it?

First, the Agavert unit members would be very surprised.

Basto or Nordics might worry greatly, saying it was dangerous.

But still, in the end, they would believe Tie’s words.

That Ppupppu knew nothing and wasn’t the monster ‘Krazaru’ that had caused countless casualties long ago.

‘But if it were other mercenaries or Paladins….’

Tie’s expression darkened.

In the eyes of people who weren’t Agavert unit members, Ppupppu would just look like Krazaru.

Just like how Lucalion was wary of Ppupppu.

‘What if they try to kill Ppupppu?’

Ppupppu was a cute and fragile baby elephant.

Even if they didn’t kill him, couldn’t the Church try to take Ppupppu away from Tie?

‘…The Church.’

In Tie’s mind, the Church was such an existence.

‘Didn’t the Church always step forward to retrieve artifacts whenever mercenary groups got their hands on them.’

‘Even when the Paladins found artifacts, didn’t the Church always take them away?’

‘Then there’s a high possibility they’d target the child’s bracelet too.’

An existence like highway robbers who would brazenly steal away the Mastone spoils that mercenaries had obtained with difficulty.

“…Can’t do it. I’m a mother.”

Basto’s eyes widened when he heard Tie’s muttering.

However, Tie snorted as if it was nothing and started walking again.

‘I need to make a plan.’

But she stopped thinking and came to a halt again.

Ahead, Ripper and Elanes, who had stopped walking at some point, were looking down at her with strange expressions.

Weapon District, the iron tower of the Smelting District.

The upper meeting room overlooking the Primordial Forge.

“Since this is your first time seeing a place like the Weapon District, it must feel bleak and nice, right?”

At Elanes’ words, Tie pursed her lips.

The Elanes before her eyes was a glamorous beauty even from young Tie’s perspective.

Wavy silver hair, a long and slender neck.

It was hard to believe that such a pretty woman was the leader of the 3rd-ranked mercenary group.

On the other hand, beside her was a man with an appearance completely opposite to Elanes.

“I’m Ripper. Leader of ‘Grim Reaper.'”

At his appearance extending a rough hand, Tie hesitantly rose from her chair.

And she grasped the tip of Ripper’s thick index finger and shook it lightly.

Meanwhile, Elanes opened her lips again.

“I’ve heard many rumors. They say you handle magic of an unusual attribute?”

Tie rolled her eyes around and said.

“Yees. Necromancy.”

The unit members called her ability to summon bone friends and call forth the shipwreck necromancy.

So Tie also roughly knew that she was a necromancer who handled dark attribute magic.

“When did you awaken? According to our members, mages usually awaken after entering their teens.”

Tie tilted her head.

Awakening was also a word she had heard before.

Nordics had definitely said that Tie seemed to have awakened her power at quite a young age.

But still, if she had to pinpoint the exact timing.

“Umm, about a month and a half ago…?”

It seemed best to refer to right after arriving in this world.

But for some reason, Elanes closed her mouth.

Then she added with a voice mixed with a slight hollow laugh.

“Are you telling me you awakened a month and a half ago and formed a mercenary group?”

“Yes!”

Then even Ripper’s gaze changed to something strange.

Tie tilted her head.

‘Why are their expressions like that?’

That was because Tie didn’t know.

The fact that for mages who have awakened their magical power, it takes an average of at least 3 years to cast their first spell.
