(Bubare and Ainas found the giant ants!)
(Orgal went to meet the Red Plutonian tribe.)
(The name of the Chief of Dreamwalkers is Pirops Bachma. He's strong, sharp, and has a dream ability.)
(Ainas is Pirops' daughter, with dream ability potential surpassing even Pirops. However, she wants to wield a sword like Bianca Kaligo. But she's really not talented with a sword.)
(Pirops obtained information through dreams that Elona was hurt. Soon, he plans to enter Elona's dreams again to rescue other Dreamwalkers captured within.)
(At Pirops' behest, Anias entered Kelliark's dreams once and tried to make contact with him. Similarly, it seems that Ainas' abilities are necessary to enter Lokia Ganesto's dream as well.)
(Margiella went on a rampage. It looked like a huge emergency situation.)
Runcandel, Garden of Swords.
The individuals gathered in the meeting room exclaimed in awe as they read Yona's report. In this world, only Yona could infiltrate Kinzelo's meeting room and extract such information.
"Elder sister Yona has brought amazing information. Chief of Dreamwalkers, Pirops Bachma, and dream ability..."
Dream ability.
Naturally, the Vamel Alliance had never even imagined such a thing. Even now, there was little known about the abilities and authorities possessed by demons.
"Even you, ancestors, who experienced the Holy Kingdom's Protection War knew nothing about dream abilities?"
[Not exactly. But we had some ideas.]
[During the Holy Kingdom's Protection War, we felt that our operations were constantly leaked to the enemies. We went to great lengths to uncover spies at that time, but ultimately found nothing. So we speculated that demons might have some sort of prophet... I guess it was a dream ability.]
Alpen and Tasha spoke, and Luet nodded.
[A thousand years ago, the Dreamwalker tribe caused turmoil among the humans. Because of them, our knights often lost their minds after having nightmares. But I never thought they could gather information the target knows through dreams…] Luet said.
[Hmm, even Elona Zipfel, a Genesis Mage, couldn't stop the dreamwalkers. Doesn't that imply that if that Chief of dreamwalkers sets his mind to it, he can enter the dreams of all of us?] Vallas showed concern.
"It's a matter of time, but it won't be that simple. If obtaining information through dream ability were that easy, Orgal wouldn't have been caught off guard so many times."
[Ah, I see.]
"Furthermore, although Elona Zipfel is a Genesis mage, as Ms. Ameris once said, she didn't reach that realm through training and awakening. So she might lack the power to protect her consciousness, her will, and such. That's why they might have entered Elona's dream, not Veradin's. But considering the part about entering Kelliark's dream, it might not be the case."
[Speaking of which, a thousand years ago, knights with exceptional willpower suffered less from nightmares. As for Kelliark, it might be because Ainas Kaligo's dream ability is superior to even Pirops'. According to the report, Pirops seems to be unable to enter Kelliark's dream without Ainas' help.]
"That makes sense. Ainas Kaligo... It seems, like Bubare, she has a special ability. It's also mentioned that Ainas' ability is necessary to enter not only Kelliark's dreams but also for Lokia Ganesto's dreams."
[Great Grandson, beyond Ainas' dream ability, if they've managed to infiltrate Kelliark's and Lokia's dreams, doesn't it imply that Kinzelo knows their locations?]
"Of course, that's possible, Great Grandfather. However, if Orgal knew their exact locations, it's more likely he would have attempted direct contact. Like he went to meet the Red Plutonian tribe. Or, even without knowing the precise locations, if they had something related to them, they might be able to enter their dreams... For now, we can only speculate."
Especially Orgal held a deep grudge against Lokia Ganesto. If he knew her location, he would have tried to kill or capture her directly, and there is a higher possibility that he asked for Jin's help in the process.
[We know that the enemy possesses special abilities, yet we don't have clear means to counter. It is frustrating. Well, Head Butler, there's no quick solution, is there?]
[I don't know a way to completely block dream intrusion. However, Valeria and I are considering reviewing executives' records daily.]
[Oh! So you mean you'll check whether there have been any dream intrusions or not?]
[Exactly.]
"While it might compromise privacy a bit, for now, that seems like the best approach. Unless dream ability is something that can even ignore the record magic."
[If it is complete, the record magic can reveal even Zipfel's history manipulation. There's no way the powers of an individual demon won't appear in the records. Of course, this task would be smoother once the mass production of the Red Owl is complete. As of now, Valeria and I can't travel throughout the alliance every day.]
"The mass production of the Red Owl might be slightly delayed since Dr. Qwaul spends a lot of time on the defensive wall... but it should be completed soon."
[If possible, I think it's necessary to secure Ainas Kaligo in the future.]
"Yes, that's true. It wouldn't be wise to mess with Ainas right now. With the True Demon World alone, we have our hands full. There's no need to instill hostility in reliable pawns. Ainas and even Bubare Gaston, both are key personnel for Kinzelo."
The discussion on dealing with dream abilities concluded.
"There must be a clear reason why Orgal went to meet the Red Plutonian tribe. It must be for trade. Since they shared the same era in ancient times, the likelihood of Orgal possessing the necessary information for the Red Plutonian tribe is high."
After it was revealed that she was one of Ameris' heads, Zephyrin had partially regained ancient memories. She knew about the destruction of the Demon Seal Wall, which Ameris had forgotten. So, it was a given that Orgal would have information that he could trade with the Red Plutonian tribe.
[Trade... Does that mean the two of them might become allies, isn't it, Great Grandson?]
"Kinzelo won't hastily form an alliance with the Red Plutonian tribe. Firstly, their ideologies are different, and it would be burdensome for Kinzelo to completely ignore the Zipfel. If Kinzelo were to ally with the Red Plutonian tribe, it would be one of two things: Either Kinzelo has a powerful hidden ace, or the Red Plutonian tribe possesses means to defeat Zipfel."
Neither possibility was completely unlikely, but Jin was mostly excluding the scenario of the two forming an alliance.
"Furthermore, there's an obvious reason why Kinzelo would attempt to contact Kelliark. Kelliark is currently in a disadvantageous position like a hanging rope's end, so they might want to recruit him as an ally. From Kelliark's perspective, relying on Kinzelo wouldn't be a bad idea. Coming to Runcandel or returning to Zipfel wouldn't provide any answers. Of course, the possibility of aligning with the Red Plutonian tribe, the Imperial Family, or the True Demon World can't be excluded."
However, at present, Kelliark was someone who could potentially hold some significance for Jin.
-[His and my fire are polar opposites. However, fundamentally, it's the same fire. So, perhaps, I might be able to manifest by using Sheenu's authority.]
-Through Sheenu's authority... First, I'll gather information about Sheenu while preparing for war with the True Demon World, Tess. Sheenu once attempted to make a deal with me, so it might be possible to communicate with him.
A conversation Jin had with Tess not long ago.
Therefore, Jin wanted to secure Kelliark first. He couldn't accept him as a member of the alliance, but they could each utilize his strengths.
Since meeting Sheenu, the Vamel Alliance had been continually tracking Kelliark's whereabouts, yet they hadn't gained any significant clue yet.
"Finding Kelliark's whereabouts will depend on elder sister Yona now. If she keeps watching Ainas, there might be some clues."
Now there was only one thing left to discuss—the information Yona had brought.
Margiella Ivelianos.
Bishkel's younger sister, a person whose motives and abilities remained shrouded in mystery.
"Margiella went on a rampage... And even though Pirops Bachma felt that someone was hidden in the meeting room, he immediately left his position. That means Margiella is an important personnel within Kinzelo. And at that time, Pirops was likely the only person who could control Margiella's rampage."
Jin had sensed that Margiella was an extremely important figure within Kinzelo for quite some time. Whenever Orgal and Zephyrin were absent, Margiella would often step forward as a representative of Kinzelo.
[It seems to be controlled through that dream ability.]
[I'm curious why she went on a rampage, what kind of situation unfolds when she does, But young patriarch, I have a feeling that Margiella's rampage is related to the True Demon World.]
Although the Vamel Alliance was unaware, Margiella had once gone on a significant rampage during the Evil God War due to the Evil God's mental attack. The current rampage seemed to be triggered by a similar reason.
"I share the same opinion, Head Butler. Do you recall what I said when Orgal came to support the defensive wall?"
[Yes, I remember. You mentioned that there was something within Kinzelo that shouldn't be revealed to the True Demon World. So they intentionally sent reinforcements to the defensive wall.]
Jin's pupils narrowed.
"I believe that something might be the Margiella Ivelianos. I think it would be a good idea to inquire about her when we meet Tilias and Misol next time."
