31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 158)
Kang Seol was embarrassed, but calmly looked at Frannan..
‘…why me?’
It was true that Frannan gave Kang Seol a special status as a disciple of the Holy Spirit, but he did not understand it..
Kang Seol knew reality well and guessed that Frannan would not be a magical teacher for him..
Then why does he insist on calling himself Jeon Ja’s teacher??
‘Are you saying you will take me unconditionally??’
In fact, if there was a conflict here with the Iron Man Daeju, it was the treatment of Kang Seol that was the problem..
Because the Great Master of the Iron Lion was clearly a man with the power to lead, and Jiang Seol was not one of them..
It was clear that the master of iron lions was also deliberately trying to cause conflict by taking advantage of this fact that everyone knew..
If a collision occurs, it will naturally be quite difficult for Snowfall, who is a transfer agent, to participate in this expedition..
Kang Seol expected that everyone would roughly guess the inside story..
However, sometimes, even if it is an obvious move, if the situation is urgent, you can cover your eyes..
Cartejin, one of the Aspects of Libra, said:.
“Hey, are you finally planning to take on a disciple??”
Another Aspect, Ridwen, was equally surprised. Although the reaction was slightly different from Cartejin's,.
“however… Transfer? Why is it a transference??”
“Yeah, that's right. Is there any reason to take on a former student as a disciple? If you have any ideas, choose a good one among the Libra children.….”
Frannan flatly rejected Cartegin's comments..
“Put it away. I will live my way. I don't think it's important whether you're a transfer or a Libra child..”
Cartejin shook his head and changed his attitude..
“yes. Even if it's a transference, where did you make up your mind? From the TOP's perspective, the most dangerous thing is for Frannan's personal achievements to disappear..”
“ha ha ha! Still, I am finally planning to pass on my teachings to future generations. Is this such a good thing??”
“Yes, because of Yurin’s incident.….”
When Cartejin, who was in a good mood, mentioned Yurin's name, Frannan dismissed the conversation..
“Stop, it seems better not to bring up her story in a place like this..”
“Um, right….”
The conversation did not proceed with the stories of the saints, but one of the mercenary leaders took advantage of the momentary pause in the conversation to change the topic..
“Anyway, how do you get into that Alkatron or something? I understand that I have to cross the border one more time.….”
Jofimba the dwarf answered..
“yes. First of all, let me tell you, this is a very time-sensitive and life-threatening job. If we're not all determined, we can't be together on the road to Alcatron..”
“what? That much? why? I heard that the Relic Society cleared the way? Don't you just have to go through there and get to Alcatron??”
Jofimba was scratching his thick neck in trouble..
“that is… Our elite advance team checked recently, and the landslides have ruined all the previously prepared roads. Thanks to you, I have to go through it step by step from the beginning..”
“what? … Then, while we go so slowly, Libra will already be watching us from heaven..”
“If you speak carelessly, you'll be in trouble. Because this is definitely a scale.”
“That's right, you have to say what you have to say. It turns out that our problem is not a lack of power. Do you think there is another group around here that cooperates with Libra that has this much power? Everyone came running to me in the middle of a crisis. the problem is… Even with all this power gathered, there is a high probability that we will run out of time..”
Yofimba's expression turned strange after hearing those words..
It's like, should I say this or shouldn't I? expression.
“hmm… So… hmm… Actually there is one more problem.”
“What? If you have something to say, say it quickly. Because it's a waste of time.”
“I'm thinking of splitting the search team into two..”
“what?”
“why?”
“There is no telling how long it will take to clear a path through the detour, and even if the detour is operating properly, there is a limit to the number of people who can travel per day. In short, if everyone heads there now, the rest will just end up waiting. So, the idea is to form another search team on a possible route. I also happen to have quite a bit of power left..”
“how? Even if we split it in two, there is only one path.?”
“No, there were two paths from the beginning. We just forgot.”
“…no way?”
“No, that's not it.!”
Everyone seated was agitated..
As everyone guessed, Yofimba brought up the topic of the issue..
“I plan to use the road occupied by the Black Thunder tribe..”
“Fuhahaha! You're crazy. Has the Relic Society gone completely crazy? I'd rather die by falling off a cliff, getting eaten by monsters is something I don't want to do..”
“I agree with you, black thunderbolts are quite strong among trolls.?”
“Crawl in there like crazy?”
Jofimba was in trouble. I knew there would be opposition from the expedition team, but the reaction was more intense than expected..
“Trolls are monsters. Even if we get a promise that they will let us pass through safely, they may change at any moment and throw us into the cauldron..”
“It's not wrong..”
The Great Iron Lion's expression changed strangely and he tripped over Mael..
“Hey, what do you think??”
“…Are you saying that??”
“Yes, you. It's the same troll?”
“Let me tell you what I think: not all trolls are the same. Most trolls display aggressive tendencies, but there are also those who do not. Also, belligerence is often controlled depending on the leader's tendencies..”
“okay? What are the leaders of Black Thunder like??”
“sibling… I know that. No other information was received..”
“ha ha ha! It's completely blank?”
“Because I was not a leader and had no contact with them..”
Mael said this and glanced at the snowfall. Kang Seol must have sensed something from his gaze and had a conversation with someone in the shadow space..
It was Jamaard, the chieftain of the Rock Tooth tribe, a being who had a connection with the chieftain of the Black Thunder..
‘Were you listening? I know the leader of the black thunder?’
- You know, the brothers Ungola and Ungus, they're nice guys..
‘If we talk, will you let the expedition go safely??’
- well… I'm not sure because it's been such a long time since I've seen it. Still, they are people who know how to discern between interests and interests, so conversation might work.?
‘hmm… okay?’
The Great Master of Iron Lion said.
“I think a more realistic suggestion would be to fight the monster unarmed and win.….”
Jofimba suppressed his anger and responded..
“Well, I don't have that feeling. So, I'm thinking of only accepting applicants here..”
“He is a suicidal person. Dwarf, where do you plan on going??”
“me? I'm taking the detour. Even in the relic society, there are only a few people who remember the original topography of the bypass. One of them is me.”
“Okay, I'm going there too. And put conditions on it.”
“…condition? Conditions??”
“I won't go on the detour with that troll and this guy here. The two are told to either skip the expedition or join the Black Thunder suicide team. I won't work with people I can't trust, no matter how much money they pay me. If you don't like it, you can reject it. Because the iron lion will immediately leave the expedition..”
“What kind of nonsense?….”
“It's the best I can give. Because there are many lives on our shoulders here too..”
- Kiyaaaaa, I guess my thoughts will change once I see the monster cooking dish haha.
- Look at it, it doesn't work lol.
- Mael is rejecting this lol. In fact, it's like breaking the window of a moving bus and escaping.
- Bus driver Mael is confused;;
Everyone was taken aback by the unexpected proposal and only glanced at the faces of Kangseol and Mael. Depending on whether they accept it or not, it will be decided whether the messenger can participate in this expedition..
However, Kangseol and Mael were looking at each other and grinning. The answer came out of both of their mouths at the same time..
“great.”
“I will accept it.”
The crowd was surprised and asked back with wide eyes..
“Are you really going to do that??”
“Black thunder? Don't risk your life just for pride.”
“Yeah, don't think too hastily.….”
“It's okay, we'll head towards Black Thunder..”
Snowfall did not make this decision because of the conditions of the wire. From the beginning, it didn't matter which direction he chose..
However, there were criteria for selection..
‘The path you can take with Mael will be much safer there..’
Mael was no ordinary troll.
Having experienced his mystical powers in Yognathun, there was no need to hesitate in making this choice..
- This and this, a dangerous combination was born.!
- hey! Pandea, are you okay with this? This combination might break you?
- Pandea: Ugh… Of course those two…
The Great Lord of the Iron Lion looked at the two in amazement, then turned his head towards Chameli..
“Since we don't know what might happen, the pilgrims will be divided into half... Where are you headed, Bishop??”
“I am….”
People thought she would naturally head to the place where the Great Master of the Iron Lion was. Because the power on the bypass road looked superior to anyone..
Chameli looked at the people in turn with a pitiful expression and said:.
“I'm thinking of heading towards Black Thunder..”
“…Nonsense.”
Crackling…
The great ruler of the Iron Lion was forced to respond..
“hmm… All right.”
In addition to them, I was busy forming four groups for my part..
And when the general power was divided, Jofimba complained..
“hmm… The black thunder is a bit sagging.….”
“There's nothing I can do, they said they'll only accept applicants.?”
“Okay, it'll work out somehow. next… It's the most important issue.”
Jofimba looked at the signs of Libra..
“Who will be in charge of this expedition??”
Even though the tower owner went missing, all three saints could not leave the place..
If those who are supposed to lead the next generation all die, Libra will fall into a dark age..
“day tax.”
The answer came right away, and the answer was from Frannan..
“what? Frannon! you step up….”
“Whoop….”
papad-!
Suddenly, someone vomited and left the conference room..
‘…Prine?’
Kang Seol confirmed that the woman who had just left was Prine..
Afterwards, her teacher Blaine followed and said:.
“Sorry, my student seems to be sick so I need to check on him as soon as possible..”
“Okay, let's go out..”
It's good…
‘Why are you doing that??’
Prine was fine until he entered the tower. In fact, while he was looking at this place, he was literally running around..
When Kang Seol had such questions, the debate over who was responsible for the expedition was continuing..
“It’s time for me to make up my mind too. Thank you for calling me during this difficult time..”
“…Are you sure you want to go??”
“I want to do that.”
“I'm not trying to run away?”
“…….”
“Aren't you trying to run away from what happened to Yurin? From that day… Running away and trying to die….”
Frannan grinned..
“If you were going to run away, you wouldn't have come here..”
“…….”
“I came here to check. Send it to me.”
Aspects Ridwen and Cartejin nodded cautiously..
“Okay, then….”
“There's no need to ask. I will go with my student.”
“Hmm….”
“Then, Yofimba and the Great Lord of the Iron Lion will have to lead the way to the detour..”
Jofimba smiled broadly..
“Is it possible? ha ha ha!”
“Heh, everything is decided for now, so I'll get up. I got a bit of a headache after being in the same room as the troll and Jeon..”
“Oh, like that….”
Grumbling…
Master the Iron Lion stood up and tried to walk to the door..
however.
【Wow… Wow… Wow… Bye….】
Grief made his appearance unsightly by adding sound effects that newborns would enjoy with each step he took..
“this… this… Phew… see you later.”
It's good…
The Iron Lion Daju was so absurd that he didn't even have the energy to get angry, so he opened the door and disappeared without saying a word..
The snowfall caressed the lanterns..
It was an expression of praise in its own way..
Grief muttered quietly..
【Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… If you praise my evil deeds, your fall is not far off. from now on… Soon.】
* * *
Dadada…
Blaine ran through the tower, looking for Prine. She thought she would find it quickly, but it took her more time than she thought..
Still, I managed to find it..
She was stuck in a corner, hugging her knees..
“Prin… You were here.”
“…Master.”
Blaine looked into Prine's eyes..
Seueuugh…
Eyes giving off a hazy aura.
“Did you see it??”
“yes… I saw it. I didn't want to see you... I saw it.”
she had a glimpse into the future.
No, I was able to catch a glimpse of a dark fantasy that I thought was the future. It wasn't clear and it was hard to make sense of it, but it mostly fit together well..
After seeing the ominous future, she hid somewhere like this..
“what… I saw it?”
“I don’t want to say it… You can't say it... You might think I'm strange. I am not cursed.”
For Prine, this ability was nothing short of traumatic..
Before the Aquarius Tower took her, she was called the child who foretold a curse..
“It's okay, it's okay. We won't interfere in their affairs. Because it's the only thing they have to deal with. just… I just watch.”
“Black… black….”
“Tell me the future beyond the curtain you saw….”
Prine opened his mouth..
“Blood and corpses... I saw everyone's death.”
“…….”
“Many people involved in this... I'm dying. It's such a terrible future….”
Blaine pursed his lips. So that she can talk comfortably.
“Alkatron is... It's probably not an ordinary ruin, right? This series of events is so strange... too… I'm scared, Master..”
“Prine, what did you do with the nightmares that were so terrible??”
“Put it in the room… He told me to imagine closing the door..”
“Yes, that's right. And I'm looking for an adult. It's natural that a child can't do anything. yes?”
“yes… I am… It's a child.”
“Tell me, who is the adult who can take care of this horrible nightmare room?.”
“that….”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
Prine's eyes became blurry again..
And said someone's name.
“He's an adult. I saw a faint light in his face..”
Blaine smiled brightly at that answer..
“As expected, I saw the person correctly..”
