31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 19)
The arrow did not seem to have been fired from such a close distance. Most of them got stuck in carriages or surrounding objects..
“this… Hey, how did this happen?!”
“What's going on, Aden?!”
“Holy! Hey Jin Seongho!”
Except for Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol, two other party members were hit by arrows..
One of them had his neck pierced by an arrow..
Pussy…
After hearing the sound of the wind dropping a few times, a party member named Jin Seong-ho rolled his eyes..
So he lost his life.
“Aaaah! Dead! He died!”
“Aden! what should i do!”
A group of people who had committed murder once were embarrassed like children when death approached them..
Snowfall observed Aden’s expression..
Aden's face turned red..
And then, as if he had made a decision, he shouted to those around him..
“There is a canyon nearby! If you shake off the chase there and enter the Great Forest, you won't be able to find it! Hurry up and drive the carriage!”
“Ha, but… Isn't that easy?….”
“Shut up! Have you forgotten who paid you to hire you??”
Aden coerced people as if they had changed..
Kang Seol knew that his actions were not appropriate..
Normally, in such cases, merchants would respond to attacks by forming a phalanx of horse-drawn carriages..
Aden has never been on an upward journey, or the level is such that the pursuer cannot fight back..
In any case, the situation was not so easy..
Aden shouted at Baek Sang-gyu’s group this time..
“How long are you going to hold on to a dead guy and whine! Get in the carriage!”
“what? What are you saying now?….”
Sigh.
Aden put a dagger to Seo Jin-cheol’s throat..
It was so fast that Seo Jin-cheol couldn't react at all..
“Huh up….”
“If you don't want to die, do as I say. The playing ends here..”
Seo Jin-cheol's eyes were round and he could only nod his head slowly..
Baek Sang-gyu's group left Jin Seong-ho, who was hit by an arrow and died instantly, and helped another injured man onto the carriage..
Snowfall also followed them into the carriage..
“Fuck… Fuck… What the hell happened?….”
“Wasn’t it an easy adventure? why do we have to go through this!”
Death comes to everyone and sends fear as a messenger..
Baek Sang-gyu's group, reduced by one person, rolled their eyes in fear..
“It hurts… it hurts… so painful….”
“It's Gyeongmo!”
Another man lying down with an arrow stuck in his chest.
It continued to moan, but now its movements have gradually subsided..
“me… I die like this….”
Tuk.
Baek Sang-gyu's group was reduced to two..
Hee hee hee hee!
The sound of horses running faster and faster.
push shot.
Wow!
“Hehehe….”
The sound of an arrow going through the tent of a carriage..
The whole situation was so confusing that I couldn't come to my senses..
Even in this situation, Kang Seol maintained his cool..
‘Caught at the edge of the canyon.’
Both the first and second characters met the same ending..
There was no major danger before reaching the end of the canyon, so there was no need to make a fuss like Baek Sang-gyu's group..
Baek Sang-gyu saw that and screamed in anger..
“You act like it's an easy adventure, but it's not!”
“…what?”
“Damn… How do I get out of this situation??”
Seo Jin-cheol growled at Kang Seol..
“Hey, let's work together until we get out of here..”
This would have been obvious at a normal party, but this party did not trust each other, so it was an issue that needed to be addressed..
Seo Jin-cheol believed that Kang Seol would follow his words..
Because there were two of us and Kang Seol was one..
Regardless of whether their plan was discovered or not, Snow Seol thought it would be difficult to escape alone..
However, the answer that came back from Kang Seol embarrassed Seo Jin-cheol and Baek Sang-gyu..
“why me?”
- yes? Me?
- Haha, I'm tired of this expression..
- Just by looking at these guys, they look like murderers haha. Why are we going together?~
- I got hit by a fucking cosplay.?
Baek Sang-gyu's eyes were bloodshot and he tried to pull the curved sword from his belt..
sreung.
“I don't tend to be tactful, people's words don't sound like words... uh?”
“Uh... Why is my body… eww….”
Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol's bodies did not follow their control. It felt like it was slowly hardening, as if it were concrete..
Clink.
The curved sword that Baek Sang-gyu held in his hand fell to the corner of the carriage..
“Rain, why is your damn body….”
“so do i!”
Their tongues were constantly teasing, as if their bodies were only stiffening from the neck down..
Snowfall looked at them and said.
“You're not very tactful..”
“what? You bastard! you! You did all this!”
“Release it! I don't know what you did, but I'll kill you.!”
“You should not carelessly swallow food given to you by others..”
In an instant, Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol realized what had happened at Kang Seol's words..
Something had been manipulated into the alcohol I had just received..
“this… damn! Are you fooling me??”
“No, that can't be possible... Aden! Aden, what is this bastard?!”
Push shoo shoo shoot!
“chase!”
Doo doo doo doo!
I could hear the sounds of people chasing me on horseback..
A group of wagons are already leaving the canyon..
Snowfall got dressed and got ready..
Whoa whoa…
He held a black energy in his hand, and when he shook it off, a huge figure appeared inside the carriage..
Whirly lick…
“I… That guy….”
“troll! You're a troll! No, that's….”
they knew too.
What Snowfall summoned was Jamaard, the chieftain of the Rock Fars, who had only been seen from a distance during the previous adventure..
How can I forget that scary sight?.
Baek Sang-gyu muttered in disbelief and thought..
‘I defeated that Jamard.?’
Jamard, whom it seemed unlikely that one party could defeat even if they combined their efforts..
Of course, Kang Seol defeated the monster alone, but Baek Sang-gyu couldn't even guess that..
Jamad asked after seeing the snowfall..
“…Things aren't going well.”
“It seems like it, but let's wait and see..”
“joy. let me protect you.”
As Kang Seol tried to get out of the carriage, Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol became desperate and called him..
“Hey, hey! Take him! Take us too!”
“Where are you going! you! If this continues, the predators won't let you go.!”
Kang Seol said without looking back..
“So why do I.”
Instead of helping, Baek Sang-gyu's group will become shackles holding his ankles..
It was obvious that they would probably be left here to meet the ending they deserved..
‘come.’
Suddenly, a rope barrier and armed men appeared right in front of the wagon train. They all had tattoos like Arden's on their faces..
“hold on tight!”
With the cry of Aden, the front of the carriage procession began to fall over..
Since the entire line was defeated, the other wagons were unable to advance any further and collapsed..
“Uh, uhh?”
“no!”
While Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol were screaming, Snow Seol's appearance in the carriage had already disappeared..
* * *
Snow Seol successfully broke away from the group under Jamaard's protection before the entire wagon train collided with the rope obstacle..
The impact of rolling on the ground followed, but thanks to his protection, no major damage was inflicted..
A few people escaped from the group of raiders and chased after Snowfall, but they were all crushed by Jamad's hands..
Snowfall was currently looking at the place where the collision occurred..
“Are you just watching??”
“okay. If you try now, you will only lose strength..”
“Well, figure it out..”
Aden gathered his troops from the group of broken carriages and prepared to greet the raiders..
“damn… How did you know and come all the way here? Hey, it's a battle..”
The part of Aden's words that was not false was that there really was a carriage escort..
It's also stronger than Baek Sang-gyu's group..
“There seem to be about twenty attackers. Everyone survive on their own.”
“Damn… There was no talk like this!”
humming… humming…
Someone approached me from afar, twirling a curved sword..
As expected, he had the same tattoo on his face as Aden..
“Aden… No, Cujo. Did you think you could run away from us??”
“How does the one on the run know that, you idiot?.”
“Hehehe… You still have as much pride as your tongue. I should have used that tongue for you..”
“The treatment wasn't very pleasant, so I was planning to take a big hit... Are you thinking of doing business together? I'll treat you better than Borgo.”
“Can you protect me from Borgo’s pursuit??”
“Can you do it??”
“Then, die peacefully. I have the maps and interpretations?”
“then! It's here in this arms. Wherever you take your skills,!”
“Well then, let me say goodbye in advance. The map will return to its original owner.”
“Damn, if anyone hears it, they'll think Borgo found it. I found it, you bastard.!”
Kaaaaang-!
Aden, or rather Cujo's group, who seemed to be outnumbered, clashed with the advance guard sent by Borgo..
in between,
Snowfall was checking the details of the changed adventure in detail..
Adventure 3-1. 'The carriage runs.’
A wagon train scheduled to go to Novira was attacked. It seems like there is something I don't know about. You must survive the raid.
Goal: Survive and escape pursuit
Current remaining time [None]
Snowfall knew the truth of this adventure from the beginning. Of course, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
This adventure was more complicated than it seemed.
Borgo, who is famous among the ruin hunters who settled in Novira (only the name is different, the figure and role are the same).)
Cujo, a subordinate who was always dissatisfied with Borgo, obtains a map of another ruin while exploring the ruins. He secretly takes it and tries to interpret it..
Meanwhile, Borgo notices this and chases Cujo, but Cujo has already escaped to Kongori, and Borgo's group has no choice but to set up camp near the forest and target him..
The interpretation that Kujo received stated that five living sacrifices were needed to open the entrance to the ruins..
‘In other words, Baek Sang-gyu and his group were being carried as sacrifices, not as escorts..’
That's why Aden was so addicted to alcohol..
To make the party unable to move their body and become obedient sacrifices..
Kaang!
Kaaaaang!
Snowfall quietly watched their clash..
I've already experienced this twice..
I already knew the result.
As time passed, the outlines of the battle gradually emerged..
“Hehehe… Heo Eok….”
“Hehehe… If you want to die, go ahead..”
“If you leave anyway, Borgo will kill you..”
“That's right. Then hurry up and die..”
It's a really funny situation, but no one survives the collision between the two groups. As expected, looking at the situation in front of me, the same situation was unfolding..
‘No, the sacrifices survive.’
The first character, Snowman, chose to use his magic power to recover his body from the shattered carriage and ran away from the scene. Thanks to him he survived.
‘And the second character chose a different option..’
Snowfall waited for their battle to end, and when it was nearing completion, she approached there..
“Huh... Hehehehe… Borgogna?”
Cujo, who had lost both eyes, was gasping for breath there. Black blood was all over his body. He had already lost so much blood that he looked like he was going to die soon..
“No, this smell… It's a snowman. me, save me.”
“you are already dead.”
“Hehehe… that's right. I shed this much blood... How can I live? Hey, can I tell you a funny story??”
A choice came to mind.
[Aden's real name was Cujo. As he is dying, he tries to tell something interesting. How would you answer?]
1. talk? what are you talking about?
2. I do not need.
3. Who are the ones chasing us??
4. What does a tattoo mean?
5. [Required: Threat] Tell me everything.
……
“I do not need.”
“under! ha ha ha! So let me just tell you this. Soon, a large monster that doesn't even look like a human will arrive here. Then I'll die anyway... hey?”
stutter, stutter.
Snowfall searched for Kujo, who was out of breath. And he forcibly took out everything he could get his hands on..
[Obtained a map of a ruin.]
[Obtained an interpretation of the ruins.]
Kang Seol glanced at the map and checked the interpretation..
Because the interpretation of the ruins was probably as important as the map..
‘this….’
His brow furrowed..
‘At this level, it would be best to use the interpretation as kindling..’
The content of the interpretation was similar to what Kang Seol knew, but if you look closely, you can see that it was interpreted in a completely different way..
In other words, either his memory was wrong or his interpretation was wrong, but Kang Seol trusted his memory more..
“Pfft… Hahahaha!”
Kujo laughed like crazy at Snowfall's actions..
He cursed Kangseol's future as if he were a prophet..
“Yes, I'm sure you want the treasures in the ruins. Because I did that too. But that crunch… The ruins have already been captured by Borgo..”
“so?”
After acquiring the map, a choice came to Kangseol’s mind once again..
[We looked at the map and identified the location of the ruins. It is near the great forest. what would you do?]
1. Return the map to Kujo and find out how to survive..
2. Stay here and wait for the borgo.
3. After returning the map, run away to Nobira..
4. Head to the Great Forest.
……
Among these, the choice Kangseol would make was obvious..
Cujo's last words before he died.
“…You, too, will eventually give in to your desires just like me..”
He answered Cujo, who had already passed away..
“No, I control my desires.”
