31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 118)
“Xiamen left so suddenly??”
Apparently, Xiamen did not show any signs until he arrived in Nobira with Snowfall and made a sword for him..
He just watched Karen's flame as if he was relieved..
“Yeah, I was surprised too. But it would be better if you heard this from Kibo instead of me. Because I don’t know Xiamen very well.”
“hmm….”
“There is something that Xiamen left to Kibo..”
It will happen.
No, maybe Xiamen would have done that..
He didn't have much of a connection with Mira Yu, but he had a very deep connection with Kibo..
‘And the thing that connected Xiamen with me was his height, so if he had something to tell me, he probably would have left it with him..’
Kang Seol gave an indifferent reply to Yu Mira..
“Well then I guess I should go to Kibo now..”
“Yes, Kibo is waiting for you..”
Kangseol walked a little with Mira Yu..
Her energy, which had seemed a bit off-putting before, was now rather neat and tidy..
‘Have people changed??’
It seemed like what happened in Yognathun had changed her..
While he was thinking that, he arrived at Kibo's base..
Kibo's home base is now shabby..
Snowfall entered there.
There were now only one or two guards watching at most..
It's good…
“Kibo, I brought you.”
“Ah, Snowman. It's really fast too. They said they headed straight from Gulia to Novira..”
“you're right.”
“Sometimes you need a break too. Don't overwork your body too much.”
“Thank you for your concern. rather than that….”
“Yes, I called because of Xiamen..”
“Did he leave??”
Kibo nodded..
- What! Give me back my Xiamen!
- Our secret vending machine…
- The goose that laid the golden egg has been lost.
- If I had known this would happen, I would have split the ship a long time ago..
“Are you sad that I left you without saying goodbye??”
“Not really, but I'm a little embarrassed..”
“ha ha ha… He didn't tell me the details, but it seemed like he had decided on something big..”
“…….”
“It seems that what happened in Yognathun changed him too. Now, here's the letter he left.”
Sigh-
A letter envelope sealed with wax was delivered to Kang Seol..
After checking the seal, Kang Seol noticed that Kibo had not opened the letter..
When Kangseol looked at him, Yumira, who was next to Kibo, answered instead..
“Because the words I left for you.”
gone.
Kang Seol broke the seal with the dagger that was placed together and took out the letter inside..
- This is Xiamen.
‘That's the answer.’
A letter from Xiamen that started with a very simple word..
Snowfall confirmed his next words..
- Snowman. If you are reading this letter by now, you may be a little confused. No, you could just assume it happened..
eat…
The corners of Snowfall’s mouth rose slightly..
Xiamen was able to see right through people..
- I know that no amount of gratitude can be enough for what happened in Yognatun. So, I will stop thanking you with just words..
Even this content seemed familiar..
- The reason I am leaving Novira is none other than that. It's because of you.
‘Because of me….’
He wasn't the one to blame anyone, so there must be a reason why he wrote this..
- Snowman, you are more special than any transferor I have ever encountered. A vast amount of knowledge that even surprised me, and wisdom to match. Unlike other transferees, you act as if you have experienced this Pandea beforehand..
‘…Was it a bit excessive??’
Kangseol knew a lot of miscellaneous knowledge about Pandea and did not pretend not to know such trivial knowledge..
That may be why Xiamen felt something strange about him..
- And with that, we change the world. You are truly an interesting person. Can you feel it? The world reached its limit as it passed through the Age of Myth, the Age of Dragons, the Age of Iron, the Age of Faith, and the Age of Lies. Too much evil has filled this continent of Pandea..
“…….”
- At one point, I let go of everything. After Orgo left, greatly disappointed in the world, I no longer had the courage to face the world. He turned his back on the world with only the one sword he left behind in the world..
Orgo's pain was passed on unfiltered to his descendant, Hamun..
Because of this, Xiamen wandered through life without a compass..
- But then you showed up. Melting down the sword that Orgo left behind and giving it to you was no different from a gamble. A gamble that predicts my future. I didn't have very noble beliefs or intentions. just….
In Xiamen, which turned its back on the world, a new compass appeared..
it was snowing.
- I really hoped you were the right person. I missed the world. I wanted you to be my reason to face the world again. It was a cowardly act. As a matter of fact, these types of gambles tend to end in the usual wrong way. You'll lose a lot of money and have a terrible morning..
Was it really like that?.
- But for some reason, my pockets are deep. Thanks to you, I can afford to go out into the world again. However, there is now a problem other than mindset. This is me, who has been twisted for a long time..
‘…That's why you left.’
- I want to forge a better sword. And I would like to give it to you when we meet again. So, goodbye for now. Bye.
Snowfall folded the letter tightly..
Mira Yu asked.
“…What is it about?”
Mira Yu seemed to be curious about the contents of Xia Mun’s letter..
“Not really, just leaving..”
Kibo next to me laughed..
“Hehe… That's a question and answer. He left like that. how… But isn’t there some regret left? We left yesterday, so if we leave now... Let's see, um... If you were him, he would be able to catch up.?”
[The conditions for the adventure ‘Holding on by the Legs’ have been met..]
A choice came to mind.
[Xiamen, your powerful helper, has left. According to Kibo, we can still catch up with him. How would you respond to Kibo??]
1. We need to catch him right now..
2. Is this all he has left??
3. There is no destination written down. Do you know where he went?
4. Now is not the time to cling to him..
……
Kang Seol smiled and answered.
“I'll leave it alone. We'll meet someday.”
[The conditions for the adventure 'Holding on by the Pants' are not met..]
[You can't schedule the adventure 'Hanging by the Legs'.]
“Ho... In this wide Pandea?”
“Pandea is narrower than you think.”
“ha ha ha! Jeon is teaching this keyboard. But maybe you're right... . In the end, if you go up and up, the paths will merge, right??”
Kibo had a good sense of humor..
He acted like he knew that Xiamen left to train himself..
Kang Seol nodded..
‘this is a great opportunity.’
Anyway, most of what could be obtained from Xiamen had already been obtained..
Xiamen's helper level is hero level.
Nevertheless, the power of the title of Orgo's descendant was so great that he forged as many as two special items. But maybe that's the limit.
A miracle created when good ingredients and good opportunities meet.
Perhaps Xiamen himself knew it well. That his abilities have reached their limit, that he no longer has the ability to support Snowfall..
The snowfall was intensifying at a much faster rate than normal transitions..
Every time he completed two adventures, he became stronger, just like others who completed five or six adventures..
‘Xiamen also needs to be promoted.’
advancement.
Just as Snowfall's summons jumped from hero level to legendary level, helpers were also able to go through the same process..
The corpse hawk Koopa left Shadow Canyon to gain wider wings, and Mael wandered every day to experience the world..
Xiamen will also go through the same process..
‘I hope it goes well... Because it’s uncomfortable if you’re away for too long.’
There will be a season called the Night Crow right now, and it won't be too hard, but no one knows what will happen afterward..
Jiang Seol hoped that Xiamen would at least show up at the right time..
‘Probably the closest place would be the Tomb of the Sword... If I had gone a little further, it would have been Marceline with an iron heart.?’
The Tomb of the Sword was a sacred place for swordsmen and generals, and Marceline was the country that exported the most weapons throughout Pandea..
There were many high-quality steel and skilled field managers..
‘Well, you'll figure it out..’
Snowfall suddenly occurred.
“I have to go.”
“Hmm, did you find a place to stay??”
“No, I'm leaving Novira right now..”
“what? Ha ha ha ha ha! Now I see that you and Xiamen are the same people.!”
- and;; Look at the power haha
- Xiamen: Yes? You too?
- It has to be like this! I'm stuck for no reason so I can see what's going on haha.
- Jungle movement is crazy;
Kangseol immediately said goodbye to Kibo and tried to leave the building..
“for a moment.”
“…hmm?”
“I have something to say. It just takes a moment.”
Mira Yu said as she went outside ahead of the snowfall..
Kang Seol followed her with puzzled eyes. It seemed like something Kibo didn't want to hear..
When Kang Seol, named Yu Mira, came out, she briefly explained her business..
“let's be friends.”
Kang Seol immediately realized what Yu Mira was saying..
“Are you talking about adding friends??”
“huh.”
Kangseol adjusted the interface as he learned earlier..
[I like being alone and we became friends..]
- They say they like being alone!
- I lied! I only believed in you…
- Could it be that he fell for the snowman? Hehehe!
Although Kang Seol became friends with her, he was curious about the reason..
“But why add friends?….”
“I plan to pay back what I owe. What happened in Yognathun?.”
“…It doesn't matter if you don't have to pay it back..”
“no.”
Mira Yu’s expression was stern..
Rather, the snowfall is surprising..
“That can't be happening. I owe you too many lives.”
“Mira Yoo.”
“The members who went with me also played the keyboard… And innocent people too. I owe you so much, snowman.”
“There is no need for Mira Yu to pay it all back..”
“it is not so. It's all something I have to pay back..”
“why….”
she has changed.
From the eyes to the facial expressions and even the flowing atmosphere..
“'Cause now I'm going to lead them.”
“…….”
“I plan to stay in Nobira, so I don't think I'll have to face much in the future. That's why. Why did you have to do such a troublesome thing?.”
“What do you plan to do while staying in Nobira??”
“It's obvious.”
Mira Yu smiled awkwardly..
The smile was awkward, like someone smiling for the first time. But it was still okay.
“We will conquer the Great Forest. With my new ruin hunting team.”
“I wish you success.”
“Goodbye, snowman. Thank you, sincerely. I want you to remember this.”
she said the last words.
“Let me know anytime if you need my help. It might not be of much help now, but you don't know what will happen later, right? snowman if you need help….”
I felt sincerity in each and every word Yu Mira uttered..
“I will do my best to help you, this is my promise..”
Kang Seol smiled slightly and said goodbye to her..
And then I immediately boarded the carriage leaving Nobira..
- Ah, this was an impossible route to conquer.
- I wasted time
- Who is the bastard who recommended Yu Mira’s route??
- I wanted to be sweet! I'm low on sugar!
- Teacher, please don’t act like this here and have some red ginseng candy..
- and;; I don't even look back. Both of them are so cool lol
Snowfall's carriage has arrived at its destination.
As soon as he arrived at his destination, he designated it as his base..
[The resting point is changed to Audenine..]
[It's a base move. Roll the travel luck dice.]
[The travel luck die rolls a 4..]
[I got a pretty good fortune..]
[Your adventures near Audenin will proceed with ease..]
[Your adventure near Audenin will be conducted at a moderate difficulty level..]
[There is little chance that the adventure you choose near Novira will be forced to be replaced by another unexpected adventure..]
[It's a good fortune to venture nearby..]
“after… I'm glad.”
- at las! everyone! Finally got 4!
- Lucky number 4! 7 off!
- Surprisingly, the dice goes up to 6.
- 4444444444444 Honey!
- A lot is contained in a snowman’s sigh, really haha.
- 4I can't believe I'm this happy even though I just came out. Maybe we can become happy easily?
- I thought I was abandoned by the dice!
- Dice: I'll leave for today. We'll see next time!
Life in the new base.
It went very smoothly from the beginning..
Karen rubbed her sleepy eyes and placed her hand on Kang Seol’s shoulder..
“Haaam… It's all there?”
“Okay, let’s find accommodation first..”
“huh.”
To find a suitable place to stay in Audenin, they went deeper and deeper. I wandered around the winding alleyways as if I knew the accommodation..
The footsteps chasing them also became faster..
But at a sharp bend in the alley, a sword suddenly popped out..
It was Karen's sword..
“Ugh….”
“This is my first time seeing such vicious behavior. what?”
“Now, wait a minute.!”
“female? I know someone, master.?”
“no. Not one more than that..”
“I know that.”
Slurp.
The people who were following the snowfall quickly filled the alley..
It looks like they are blocking the road back and forth to prevent the snow from escaping. There seemed to be about 7 people..
Snowfall became displeased and said.
“I think I saw the wrong person.”
One of the walkers noticed the signs of snowfall and quickly took action..
“for a moment… Please wait here for a moment. I don't mean to harm you.”
“…Waiting?”
For a moment, Kang Seol did not understand what kind of bizarre situation this was..
He was confident that he would escape if he could, but he waited for a while because he was curious about the other person's purpose..
Soon, a sound was heard.
“here!”
“Huh... Huh... You've waited a long time?”
“I do not know.”
“Okay, hehe… Heo Eok….”
A man breathing heavily.
He was someone who had been desperately looking for snowfall before. He jumped out of his pajamas and faced the snowfall..
“Phew… I apologize for being rude. Have you waited long??”
“The process was more inconvenient than the time..”
“I'm sorry, I'm in such a hurry... . Please listen to me first..”
“however….”
“ah! sorry. You didn't even tell me who I was..”
The man held out his hand. As if hoping to shake hands.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Park Chang-sik..”
He grinned, showing his teeth..
“Excuse me, is this private??”
