31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 188)
The fruit that Ur was biting was clearly different from other fruits in size and color..
“this… what?”
“It's obvious, originally, it would have been a fruit that could only be harvested when the tree grew further. This body, the root, appeared with it..”
“hmm….”
“Are you doubting this fruit now??”
“No, that's not it. I'm afraid there might be some side effects..”
“Phew… You have a lot to worry about. You don't have to worry as long as I'm with you. Even if a problem arises, you can quickly find a solution..”
Snowfall confirmed the fruit that Ur had brought with it..
[Continuation: Surprise appearance (complex)]
- Constructs affect the abilities of summoners and pets. The deeper your connection with creation, the stronger and more frequent the effect..
‘Creatures affect abilities?’
Ur explained further..
“Unlike summons, creatures have limited abilities. Instead, it is much freer than summons in materialization..”
“I mean, take advantage of that.?”
“okay. You'll get a much more anomalous weapon. Not just you, but your summons too..”
panting…
Coco sticks her head out of the shadows and flicks her tongue..
Kang Seol gazed at that image for a moment and then nodded..
He took the blood-stained fruit of the shadow as is..
[Continuous: Awakens surprise appearance (composite).]
[Uses 16 ability points.]
[Constructs now affect the abilities of summoners and their pets.]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
Consumes a huge amount of ability points.
Snowfall felt a goosebump as if a bunch of cash was being taken out of her wallet..
Even so, I wasn't worried..
Thanks to the title, I will be able to recover quickly..
‘Now that summons is on a certain track, it's not a bad idea to diversify growth methods..’
If the creatures were strengthened, it would not be a bad thing for Kang-seol since it would increase the number of weapons he had..
Ur later obtained one more fruit..
[Continuation: Awakening the joys and sorrows of togetherness.]
[Uses 6 ability points.]
[Communication with creatures gained through adventure is greatly increased..]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
Snowfall thus opened up other abilities to support its surprise appearance ability..
‘Abilities related to creatures take up a lot of ability points..’
This was because the power of creation itself was a higher power..
Snowfall also knew this, so she didn't complain or anything..
Slurp…
After finishing his work, Ur came down from the tree and returned to Snowfall..
“Now that the area in which creatures can operate has expanded, they will act on their own without you forcing them..”
Anyway, after confirming Ur's amazing ability to climb up and down the ability tree without any problems, Snowfall's future growth was guaranteed..
A corner of the Timbrian.
No one expected secret growth to occur here..

- The atmosphere in Nevenia is really gloomy.;;
(New)['Emergency Escape''s post]
[Posted date: just now]
[Title: Escape! It's escape! Escape from here!]
We're going beyond the Nevenia border! The future is definitely there! Does anyone know any news from across the border? Or even border news….
- It is said that border checks have become so strict that some people who have transferred to the country cannot cross without any reason..
- Adeline's side is almost completely wiped out. They said they couldn't get out of the contract they signed..
- North is?
- Haha, they say the sulfur skull is sneaking back, and even if that's not the case, Setena's territoriality is also wrong.
- Is it just the Great Forest in the west?…
- What kind of crazy person crosses the border there?
This is border information collected by the community just before Snowfall left the Timbrian..
‘It seems like it's gotten worse than before.’
It didn't seem easy to cross the border.
One, what can we do?.
Snowfall's destination is there..
Still, there had to be no hesitation when taking action..
“…There isn't much of a line.?”
When I arrived at the border, the line leading to the checkpoint was not long. Snowfall soon found out the reason..
“Damn it, how long do I have to sit here??”
“I even have an important deal. Of course….”
People were gathered tightly around the checkpoint..
It seemed like they were probably people who didn't pass the checkpoint..
When Kangseol checked the front of the line, out of 30 people being inspected, only about 1 got through..
So, in a way, it was natural that the line shortened very quickly..
And finally, it was snowfall's turn..
People near the checkpoint giggled and said.
“They say it's no use, they won't let you in if you don't have connections..”
“Come here and talk with me….”
The soldier at the checkpoint glared at the people and said,.
“quiet! Don't make a fuss at the checkpoint!”
“Ah, yes… yes….”
The soldier at the checkpoint seemed to be displeased with this situation..
“Is it transfer interest??”
“yes.”
“next.”
“Is it true that transferees cannot cross the border??”
“ha… Didn't you hear the news? Now, the transferee cannot move to Adeline unless there is a special reason. Or is there a special reason why I would allow you to cross the border??”
A choice occurred to him..
[The Nevenia border crossing has stepped up checks. If this continues, you won't be able to cross the border. How would you answer?]
1. I am not a criminal. However, by the time you cross the border, you will be a criminal. The charge is murder.
2. How many immigrants do you think are currently gathered near the checkpoint? If this many transferees make a fuss, it would be worth seeing.?
3. Let's be honest. How soon can I get over this damn gate??
4. What are your shifts? It's not like there's another ulterior motive. I want to get to know you. yes? It's true. That's really it.
5. By any chance, do you have any children? The kids will be waiting for their father for quite some time today..
……
A lot of ugly options came to mind..
On the contrary, the fact that this option was the only one that came to mind was proof that it was difficult to cross the border using normal methods..
Kang Seol thought for a moment and took something out of her arms..
It was an item that held somewhat sentimental memories for him..
- This might help sometimes.
ting-!
An object that bounces once like a coin and flies towards the opponent..
Pak-!
The soldier who quickly accepted it tried to get angry at Kang Seol's behavior..
“Where are you being cocky?….”
However, the soldier noticed that the similar coin he had just received was somehow different in weight and size from an ordinary coin, so he checked it..
There was a large scale drawing there..
And on the other side, it was clearly written that the magic tower of balance guarantees the identity of the holder..
“Insolent… therefore… Insolently, I blocked the path of a busy person. Sat, passed! It's passed.”
“Can I go??”
“Yes, yes… . Just pass by.”
In the past, they had suffered a great deal of embarrassment internally due to blocking the Aspect of Libra, so it was decided not to arrest anyone related to the Magic Tower unless they were criminals..
“I… Why did that person pass??”
“What is that person??”
People caught at the checkpoint shouted as they watched the snow slowly slip away..
However, the shouting was now so far away that he couldn't hear it..
- Haha, the world runs on school ties, regional ties, and blood ties.
- You guys are like this?
* * *
The first thing Snow Snow did when she arrived in Adeline was to head towards the remote countryside of Adeline..
“No, I don't normally come to places this remote. And the person….”
ting.
Snowfall handed the coachman a gold coin..
After repeatedly checking to see if it was a gold coin, the coachman bowed his head and said,.
“Sometimes it's not a bad idea to make nature your friend. then!”
Before coming here, Kang Seol used money to hire people to handle miscellaneous tasks..
Among the miscellaneous tasks was finding a landowner who was arbitrarily arranging his sharecropping while ignoring his certificate of title..
It even included a threat to the landowner that if something like this happened again, everyone involved would be exterminated..
In particular, this part could cause problems in the future, so I even went to the snowfall myself..
The old man, who felt such fear for the first time in his life at the threat of snowfall, promised never to set foot on this land again..
Snowfall finally arrived at a house located in a remote location in a rural village, feeling much more at ease..
However, as I stood in front of the door, my heart became heavy again..
“Hmm….”
smart…
There was no response at the door..
again.
smart…
“who are you?”
“I came here at the request of Ryan..”
A crunching sound was heard from inside..
“ouch….”
I profit!
“Father? Did you just say it was your father's request??”
Lian's grown son made eye contact with Kang Seol. Snowfall somehow couldn't face those eyes..
“yes. I came here at the request of Lian Kuros..”
“My father… He left home.”
“I know.”
“where is your father?”
“…….”
When Jiang Seol didn't answer, Lian's son distorted his face..
“What I was trying to convey was... Was that the news? why….”
“no. I came here for something else..”
“yes? which….”
Kang Seol took out a piece of paper from her arms..
land title certificate.
It was the certificate of title that Ryan tried to take home..
“This….”
“This is what Lian left. And this too.”
Cheolgruguk…
A large bundle of money was delivered together..
It was a small amount of money to Kang-seol, which was tantamount to rejection, but for the poor, it was a huge amount of money that could change their lives..
‘Compass values, Ryan..’
Lian's son cried for a long time after receiving the land title certificate and money handed over by Snowfall..
“Okay… Ughhhhh….”
“…….”
“I knew you would come back... I waited every day. Ugh….”
“sorry.”
“Ugh… Are you sick of us??”
“Lian always wanted to come home. Into the arms of my family….”
“Wow….”
Lian's son calmed down after crying for a long time..
snowfall asked him.
“What are you planning to plant here??”
“that… well… Because I'm not in a hurry... still… If you plant it….”
Lian's son spoke with a face similar to Lian..
“pumpkin? I think pumpkin would be good. Would it be okay?”
Kangseol smiled brightly, showing his teeth..
“I think pumpkin would be fine.!”
* * *
Ur said to the snowfall.
“Why did you waste your time stopping by such a shabby place??”
The answer came from Jamad, not from Kangseol..
“It is always up to the parties involved to determine the value of time. Just living efficiently does not make your life richer..”
“What are you talking about? Efficiency is the weapon of reason..”
“For all that, your situation of pursuing efficiency doesn't seem to be very pleasant either..”
“Pfft….”
Even the twins participated in the fight in the shadow space..
Karen said to Ur.
“Well, then. For the first time in a while, we understand each other. As for the owner, there are some delicate parts that need to be protected. I don't know because I haven't spent much time with the owner yet.?”
Karuna comforted Karen..
“Karen, why are you so upset??”
“That bastard has been unnecessarily close to his owner these days. is not it?”
This is how Ur responded to the words of other summons:.
“is it? This is what is called territoriality..”
【hmm… hmm… Will my senior help me??】
“…….”
Bitan spoke to Ur for no reason..
【Let me know whenever I need your side. 'Cause we're allies for corruption.】
“Since when… ha….”
Without even realizing it, Ur had become a comrade in grief..
“Everyone be quiet, we're going into town now..”
Snowfall has entered the base located west of Adeline..
Fortunately, this place is not too far from Lian's original home..
[The resting point is changed to Azelfog..]
[It's a base move. Roll the travel luck dice.]
[The travel luck die rolls a 3..]
[I had a reasonably good fortune..]
[Your adventure near Arzelfog will proceed normally..]
[The adventure you undertake near Azelfog will be played on normal difficulty..]
[There is a small chance that the adventure you chose near Arzelfog will be forced to be replaced by another unexpected adventure..]
[It's not a bad fortune to venture nearby..]
The travel luck dice didn't really matter because it never went below 3 due to the title's effect..
Next, the score ranking that is revealed upon entering the base..
[Below are the current score rankings up to Adventure 24:.]
Beep-
[Your information is private.]
[Your score is 11,056,100 points.]
Top Adventurer Rankings
1. Private(11,056,100)
2. Private(7,421,200)
3. Private(6,000,320)
4. Private(5,780,700)
5. Private(4,100,140)
[A rumor spreads that a great adventurer exists within Arzelfog..]
[The crime rate across the city decreases slightly.]
[Hidden adventures within the city are activated.]
[The eyes and ears of the city's influential people spread out in all directions..]
[People going through difficulties are looking for a powerful adventurer who can help them resolve their injustice..]
……
‘7million points?’
7million points.
What surprised Kang Seol was that the second place score was more important than the fact that all the people in the rankings kept their information secret..
‘Looks like he's quite talented?’
A person who was no match for Kangseol, but still widened the gap considerably with the others..
Kang Seol became a little curious about who he was..
Snowfall calmly moves into the city.
Before settling in, I sat down at a restaurant with a nice smell to have a meal..
It's good…
However, a problem occurred before I even sat down on the chair..
Cooung!
patter…
I heard a loud noise and turned around to see someone overturning the table..
‘Why are you doing that??’
Kang Seol opened his ears and focused on the situation..
“So, you're saying you can't pay what you promised??”
“A promise? did we do that?”
“I was told to be careful of your gang here. You should have listened to that..”
“ha ha ha! idiot! If you take on a task so carelessly, it will be used.!”
The person who kept saying things that got on my nerves was not Korean. He looked like he had South American blood or was from South America..
‘I heard that the number of encounters with foreigners has increased, but... . however… this voice?’
Kang Seol tilted his head..
The voice of a man being tormented by foreigners was a voice I had heard somewhere before..
the woman next to him said.
“Dawn, let’s go… . I thought I just stepped on shit….”
“Well, I guess I wasn't the one who stepped in the poop..”
Snowfall was convinced after hearing the man's words..
‘About one person?’
It was only then that his right arm, wrapped in bandages, caught his eye..
Grumbling…
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
As one person stood up, foreigners sitting at other tables stood up together..
“It was planned from the beginning..”
“Pay with your life. I'll save you, so you can cry and leave this city..”
“No, I plan on getting paid for my work somehow..”
“Why make things so difficult? Don't you know our power??”
About one person heard that and paused for a moment..
Hwiik-!
At that time, a whistle was heard from the table behind..
Inside the restaurant with one person, the eyes of foreigners turned in that direction..
Table stretched out towards the terrace.
Kangseol was sitting there smiling brightly..
