31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 137)
The Shadow Summoner's tree is usually pitch black. From roots to trunk, branches and fruits.
In this way, each job's ability tree had its own unique color..
These unique colors rarely changed. And drinking primordial blood was one of those things that rarely happened..
A branch with half the red and black colors not harmonized.
Snowfall has confirmed the only complex ability she can currently unlock..
[Lasts: Sticky Darkness (composite)]
- Shadows gain viscosity. Additionally, abilities based on this can be derived.
This wasn't the first time Snowfall had seen such complex abilities..
Finn Modria, who was the owner of the Blood of Origin, also unlocked a complex ability that mixed the white color of the priest and the red color of the Blood of Origin..
‘This is my root ability.’
root ability.
This ability is called so because a tree begins from the roots..
These abilities refer to abilities that are the basis of the job, such as shadow hand and shadow summoning..
Halfway between Blood of the Primordial and Shadowcaller.
From here, new abilities will be unlocked. It will start with this sticky dark ability..
[Continuous: Awakens sticky darkness (composite).]
[Uses 5 ability points.]
[Shadows now have viscosity.]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
Grumbling…
When Snowfall stood up, there was nothing left of the wall where his giant power tree had been carved..
“…hmm?”
Hundreds of people were staring at the wall with their mouths shut, but now they turned their gaze to Kang Seol..
someone asked.
“Oh, that! Why is only one side a different color??”
“No, just like mold….”
“But who is it? This is my first time seeing you here….”
“ascetic! He is an ascetic! … is not it?”
“excuse me….”
People suddenly flock to Snowfall.
The union member who was in charge of guiding the route here was embarrassed and called his colleagues..
“Don't be so proud, please let me know.!”
“What else can’t I tell you?!”
“Just us, just us to know!”
Before an unexpectedly hostile atmosphere was created, union members came rushing in and took Kang Seol away..

[Title: Bringing It Back Again.]
after… after… It’s hot so take it carefully.
They say there is such a thing as complex abilities. Just heard about it.
- Wow crazy; When did you change??
- There is even a merger, right? huh? please…
- You're imagining it, right? There is such a thing?
- The Ascetic just showed me a glimpse of his ability tree. People who saw it said that some of the ability trees were different colors..
- Wow, how do you get it??
- Would you have even told me that ㅡㅡ
- I told you
- omg
- All you need is an artifact or experience that has a special effect..
- In the end, it was said to focus on studying textbooks again..
- Where did you tell me?.
- Even if an ascetic escapes from the labyrinth, he has to do asceticism because of you pigs and dogs.
- Gulp! I'll give you all the information! Give me all the items too!
- Wow! If you don't want to die, go for it! Learn everything you know!
Long after the information about the complex ability was spread in the association community, Jiang Xue was now in a secret place..
“The parish priest has arrived.”
“…Let's leave right away. Slowly, it's time.”
As of this moment, the rest period has ended..
[Start your next adventure.]
[The 19th adventure begins.]
[Adventure 19. Tracking the Black Knight]
Adventure 19. ‘Chasing the Black Knight’’
The Black Pilgrims are a dispatched force from the great sacred nation of Baranoa. The black pilgrims of Nevenia have found you..
They were currently secretly tracking the Black Knight, who was a threat to Pandea, and were recruiting several people to subdue him..
one of them is you.
Objective: Track down the Black Knight
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Caution, this is an adventure based on base 'Ilia'..
Be careful, others may get caught up..
Note, this adventure can be replaced with another adventure if you miss the traces of the Black Knight..
Current remaining time 「None」」
- There's too much attention?
- I know;; This is my first time on an adventure like this
- Is it true that it is a field adventure??
The carriage with Snowfall, Chameli, and some black pilgrims on board set off..
Other black pilgrims followed in another carriage..
While the carriage traveled for two days, only a few words were exchanged between Snowfall and the pilgrims..
Mainly things like, ‘Today we will set up camp here.’.
“…Has tracking paid off??”
“Tracking?”
“Yes, the black knight..”
Chameli nodded..
“Pilgrims have already gone to Ilia first. I found traces of the Black Knight nearby..”
“Then, hasn't the Black Knight already entered Ilia??”
“No, the Black Knight is the one who drives blood and wind. If he had come to the city, people would have already died..”
“Can't it be stopped by the lord's garrison??”
“The lord may have great knights, but they probably won't be a match for the black knight. It's been like that so far….”
“Ultimately, we have to resolve it. However, even if it leaves a trace, it doesn't seem to be easy to trace..”
“I understand your concerns. But we are doing our best too. There is an adventurer who has a separate contract for tracking..”
“Is it transfer interest??”
“Yes, it's very strong too. The lord there is also providing us with support. Now, all you have to do is find the black knight..”
I was a little interested when I heard that a very strong transferencer had joined my team, but I didn't ask about it since I would have encountered it when I went to Ilia anyway..
Chameli advised Kang Seol.
“I'll tell you in advance, if you behave carelessly in Ilia, you'll be in trouble..”
“I can't believe I'm in trouble?”
“The Black Knight is a clever man. How is it that the person who is driving the bloody storm hasn't been caught yet? Although its military power is excellent, it does not appear in traps or dangerous places..”
“In short, it means not to be noticed by others..”
“The other person is a magic beast that has achieved some degree of socialization. A monster that speaks human language..”
“…All right.”
“The pilgrims in Ilia are also being careful and behaving well, so as long as you do that, there shouldn't be any problems..”
* * *
After four more days, the carriage stopped..
Ilya was similar in size to Audenine, but only had small guilds and no large community like Audenin's guild union was established..
It was also a place where transferees could act freely or disorderly..
On the second day since Snowfall arrived here, Chameli said:.
“Today, I'd like to introduce you to a colleague who is helping me with tracking..”
“That's him back then.”
“Yes, I heard you are at a meeting place, so let’s go..”
It's good…
After entering Ilia, Snow strictly refrained from going out. Although he had no particular reason to go out in the first place,.
The buildings lined up were quite large, as if to show off that this was a city..
However, the atmosphere of the city I walked around for a while was strange..
Dadada…
People were running around as if there was something urgent going on..
‘What's going on?’
Snowfall's head turned towards the running people. And the gaze of Chameli next to him..
“What is happening??”
“I think it’s nearby.….”
Chameli pursed her lips as if she couldn't control her curiosity..
“The meeting point is over there, you can go in that direction..”
“So?”
“…Let’s go through there.?”
Although it seemed like his intention was obvious, Kang Seol nodded. Anyway, all roads lead to one another..
Snowfall's complexion, which had been walking around with a faint smile, hardened slightly..
puck!
“Ugh….”
Powok!
“…Baby! what are you doing?”
“Do not! please… Do not!”
“under… me… Look at these bastards. Hey, you don't know me?”
“I did not know… . I did not know… . Sorry Sorry….”
Screams and shouts, sobs and madness.
A man was threatening a group of people. With powerful kicks and a harsh look.
Chameli ran away in shock..
“Oh my... Such ruthless people!”
“Bishop, don’t you… No way….”
Chameli, where pilgrims jump into the middle of the threat without any time to stop them..
Snowfall followed slowly..
“Stop it! What are you doing now?!”
“…What is he again? Why are you interfering??”
“Bishop!”
The woman next to the man confronting Chameli said to him:.
“Looks like a black pilgrim?”
“That crap? Why are you installing it here? Hey, you guys know me.?”
“Sehyun, there are so many eyes watching, should we stop??”
“Are you crazy? I stayed still, but they touched me first. And there was a time when I was paying attention?”
Chameli spoke confidently..
“I don't know the details of what's going on, but it's not right to inflict violence on someone who doesn't fight back..”
“…Are you teaching me now??”
At first glance, a tattoo that appears to have been made in society was visible on the man's neck..
A well-balanced body and a sense of intimidation that overwhelms the opponent..
And strangely enough, the people around him pretend not to notice the man's attitude..
The man who was being kicked by a man said.
“…You did it.”
“what?”
“What we reserved first… It's true that you stole it.….”
“so?”
“That's why….”
“so? What are you saying? apologize?”
“…….”
The man couldn't answer and looked around..
It was full of only cold stares..
Except for this woman, who had her arms wide open and didn't know who she was, everyone turned their backs and watched this situation as if it was none of their business..
I could guess their minds..
I'm glad the guy over there who got hit wasn't me..
Maybe this is the thought.
However, I felt unfair in this situation where it was awkward to tell the person who had done something wrong that they were wrong. Because of this, I was filled with sadness and started screaming..
“okay! Apologize! If you did something wrong, apologize to us.!”
A fire rose in the man's eyes after hearing the answer..
“How can I even pray? You're right, yes. We intercepted it. I'm so sorry, this is wrong and I'll give it back.”
Tuk.
A man who throws an object and returns it half-heartedly. The items inside my pocket spilled onto the floor..
The man who was beaten trembled with shame..
“Instead, you should be punished because you did something wrong too..”
“wrong… I said?”
“Since you've folded it up without even knowing the topic, I'll just pull out your tooth, okay? I won't kill you, so I can pull out a tooth whenever I think of it..”
“Well, stop… stop….”
“Hey, catch all these bastards. I know that if you let me get in your way, they will come after you first..”
Just before an imminent situation occurred, someone stood in front of the fallen group..
What's unique is that instead of looking at the man called Se-hyeon, he stood looking at the young man who was confronting the man..
“voice is….”
That someone was Kangseol, who stepped forward to protect Chameli..
That was the only reason I came forward in the first place. I didn't want to get caught up in a fight I wasn't interested in..
It must have been like that..
“Lift your head up for a moment..”
“…yes? uh?”
When the man raised his head, his bloody face was revealed. His eyelids were swollen and swollen, and a mixture of blood and saliva was dripping from his mouth..
“…….”
Snowfall's expression disappeared.
the tattooed man said.
“Why do these bastards keep appearing who can't tell what to wear and what not to wear? Have you been a little out these days? Hey, do you know these people too? you have a lot of friends?”
Kang Seol ignored his words and brushed off the clothes of the man with a swollen face..
“Gyeongtaek is right?”
“Seol hyung? brother… are you?”
“did you do something wrong?”
Kyeong-taek Jo recognized Snow Seol and shook his head, crying..
“no… no… I didn't do it….”
Then he grabbed Kang Seol’s ankle and complained..
No one paid any attention to the weak, and instead completely ignored them for fear of being overlooked by the strong..
When you are in such a disgusting situation, snowfall appears..
Gyeongtaek desperately crawled and grabbed Snowfall’s ankles..
“Please, I… Please help me... . There's nothing wrong with me….”
Kangseol suddenly got up and turned around. And then he spoke to the gang of tattooed men..
“then you must be wrong.”
A tendon protruded from the man's forehead..
“under… Mr. Lee… Well, again. Shall I pray? You can pray?”
Kang Seol answered.
“uh.”
“…hey.”
“pray.”
