"......Do you know what's going on in Kunlun Island?"
Finally, Jin decided to ask what he was most concerned about.
He could have just asked the old man, but he wanted to hear what the old man had to say, not from his own people, but from a third party.
Well, he had to nod his head if Elena was a perfect third party.
"Yes. Yes, I am aware of that.
Can you tell us?
Okay. ...... Kunlun Island is open to the public, is that correct?
Yes, I'm aware of that.
"It used to be used as a dormitory for the , but now that has moved there, it no longer serves that purpose."
Jin nodded.
"Yes, well, I guess so."
"<> and <> are still in good condition. However, Mr. Rolle and Mr. Leffa are not here."
Yes, I know that too.
When <> returned to the past ......, or rather to his former time, he saw me off at Horai Island.
"That's why Kunlun Island exists today as a resort. ...... ostensibly."
"...... I knew it."
Since Elena says "ostensibly", it must have a <> role as well.
"The <> now, unfortunately, is the forward base of the <>."
Jin nodded silently.
"They are planning to use it as a base to attack Horai Island."
"Yes, I know that. I mean, it's already been solved."
What?
I mean your father kicked them out, Elena-san.
Reiko, who had been silent until then, interrupted.
"I see. You are indeed Jin-sama, aren't you?
"No, how do they control the Kun Lun island?"
"Taibai. They control Taebaek with the Magi Emulator.
"What?"
The old man had told me that Taihaku was completely dormant.
< in the old days. After Jin conquered it, he added him to his staff and installed him not in the fortress but as the head of the Kunlun Island.
"Yes, it had been dormant, but was awakened by the Magi Emulator and placed under his control."
"I knew it. ......"
When the "Mere Old Man" told me about this story, I had been wondering about it in a corner of my mind. Unless you stay indoors like the old man, you will be a prey of <>.
No wonder that the old man, who has been shut up, does not know about it. But he must have realized it by now.
"I guess the next step is to liberate Kunlun Island. ...... before that."
Jin thought it would be a good time to ask a few questions.
"Where are the bases of the <> and where are they located? Of course, just the main ones."
"Yes. The headquarters is on the island of Electra. Korun Island is the forward base. And the Kasimunore base in the Kingdom of Selroa.
The Qasimunore base was once the headquarters of the Nostalgia Party when it was still the Unified Party. There is a rich vein of metal ore underground, and a golem factory is also located there.
"I see, so you are saying that the Qasimnore base is a production center.
"I guess you could say that."
About three of them?
Yes, the main one.
"Well... ......"
Jin thought about it.
"Suppose we destroy those three bases, will the <> be able to overwhelm the <> and retake the organization and facilities?"
"Father, if you want to release them, I think you should start from Kunlun Island."
"Yeah, I think so too. But how would we do it? And if there's one more place to go, it's the Kasimunore base.
There is still a on Lake Athol, a huge lake nearby. With this, we can deploy our forces as we wish.
"But we can't just abandon the island of Electra."
"However, the island of Elektra is also a good option.
"But first, the Kunlun Island."
It's not a good feeling to know that an island you've developed and maintained is being taken over.
"Liberating Taebaek will be the first priority. Then we must eliminate the remaining forces."
At this point Rhodoth interrupted.
"But what about Guillermo Marchitas? It is possible that he will intervene.
That's right.
So, it's a blitzkrieg mission.
"Excuse me, are we having a strategy meeting?"
Jin, Rhodes and Reiko were talking, so Elena wasn't sure what to do, but she decided to check with them.
"Oh ...... no, I'm sorry."
I got a little pissed off," Jin apologized.
"Well then,......, let's take back the Kunlun Island first, is there anything we need to be careful of?"
Again Jin asked Elena.
It might have been enough to ask the old man, but the possibility of new discoveries from Elena's unique point of view could not be dismissed.
"Well, since most of the nobles and royalty from various countries stay at <><>, I think you should be careful about various things."
"That's right."
Jin now has no proper acquaintances on the Laurentian continent.
The current means of transportation is about half by sea and half by air.
"Oh, I see."
In the past, hot air balloons and airships were the main means of transportation, but nowadays ships have developed to a certain extent and some people enjoy cruising.
Also, there are a certain number of members of the World Guard stationed here.
"Is that right?"
Jin thought that it was quite natural for the World Guard, which maintains security regardless of national borders, to be in the Kunlun Island, which does not belong to any particular country.
"Lastly, there are about five of us from the Nostalgia Party, so if you need us, please let us know.
"Oh, that would be great."
After confirming a few other things, Jin decided to leave the Nostalgia headquarters.
He went to the basement of the Mecilei workshop through the warp gate with Lelia and Arrietta.
"Thank you very much, Jin-sama and Rhodos-sama.
As they left the basement, Jin and the others were thanked by Leelia and Arrieta.
"Thanks to you, Elena-sama has been restored to normal.
"If you ever need anything in the future, you can count on us.
Thank you. If there's ever a time.
Jin, Rhodes, and Reiko leave the workshop waving their hands.
It was already dark outside.
"Let's have dinner."
The two quickly return to the inn.
The two of them walked quickly back to the inn.
"Oh, this is .......
"This is Florenz's specialty, Topopo cuisine.
<
There were not only topopo chips and fried topopo, but also meat topopo, croquettes, and topopo salad.
There was also stew, pork miso soup, and miso soup with topopo and onions.
Jin enjoyed the variations of topopo dishes that seem to have increased over time in this country.
