31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 208)
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
As Snowfall walked into the inn, the people in the hall became nervous..
This was especially true of Chadorf, who was in charge of protecting Princess Liona..
“Do not approach without permission until the princess gives permission.!”
Square chin and bushy beard around the mouth.
Chardorf, a knight with a strong appearance, prevented the snowfall from heading towards the princess..
Snowfall stared at Count Brispin in response. Brispin waved his hand to dissuade Tzadorp..
“Don't do that. Because he is the one I brought here.”
“What do you do??”
“It's all over.”
“Transfer interest? under… sane now….”
This wasn't a matter where transfer interest or something like that would get involved..
We had to keep it a secret, and no matter how many lives we had, it wouldn't be enough..
Moreover, Princess Liona is now in a pitiful situation with no one to rely on, but the measures Brispin has prepared to save her are only temporary..
Princess Liona gently placed her hand on the shoulder of an angry Chadorp..
“Chardorf, don’t do it. Don't do that..”
“Princess, what is the situation now?….”
Liona smiled with a sad face.
“i know. That the situation is not good. However, you must not be rude to the guests who made the effort to come to you..”
“…What the princess said is correct..”
Tchadorf jumped up and lowered his head..
“I'm sorry, Jeonja. I think I was rude without realizing it because of my disappointment. Will you accept my apology??”
Kang Seol shrugged his shoulders..
It was natural for them to be cautious, so I fully understood Snow Seol..
Brispin said, placing his hand on Snowfall's shoulder..
“Please take a seat. We need to talk about what's ahead..”
“All right.”
When Snowfall sat down, Brispin started talking..
“Okay, let’s start with the introduction. As you know, this is Princess Liona..”
Liona said with a grin..
“Please call me Line while we are together..”
“All right.”
“And this is Chardorf, the princess's direct guard..”
“It's Chadorp. nice to meet.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Brispin said, looking in the direction of the snowfall..
“finally… uh… What do you call it??”
Since Snowfall appeared wearing a mask, there was no need to mention her previous name..
“Please call me crow while I'm in charge of this job..”
“Okay. It's a crow. It is the most powerful tool we have at present..”
While Chadorf glanced at the snowfall with a reluctant look, Liona smiled..
“It goes well with that mask.!”
“…thank you.”
That's the end of the introduction.
Instead, the story continued.
“how is the situation?”
“That's not good. King Servant IV issued a proclamation throughout Nevennia..”
“What is the content??”
“Capture of traitor Liona. or….”
After that, I knew without having to say anything..
“Have you settled down with your life here??”
“That's right.”
“What about your family??”
“They all went through the asylum process. They're safe so we can just focus on this..”
“How does Servant IV judge the current situation??”
“maybe… The princess and her guard flee together, and in the process, a count intervenes and muddies the waters. This is probably how you judge it..”
“hmm….”
“Even Servant IV knows that this side's military power is nothing special. That's why I'm optimistic about the situation. They're mobilizing the kingdom's knights to search for us, and it looks like the Kingdom of Adeline is also joining in..”
“To Adeline….”
“I started to strengthen my friendly relationship with the servant IV. I won't take any active action, but at least I'll be guarding the streets..”
As the conversation continued, Liona's face became dark..
It was as if the situation was saying something like this.
Will you stand by her even in this situation, will you fight for her even though the whole world is her enemy?.
Usually, if you hold a knife to someone's throat and ask them to choose, out of 100, they will choose 100..
Liona knew that too, so she was silent..
However, Kang Seol’s reaction was calmer than she expected..
“Well then, let's get organized and leave..”
“…yes?”
“There's a long way to go to Prion..”
“ah… yes. Are you going with me??”
Snowfall, wearing a crow mask, nodded vigorously. The beak bobbed up and down..
“yes.”
Liona's expression brightened greatly and she smiled brightly..
[You helped Princess Liona go into exile..]
[There are people with conflicting adventure goals..]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
[This adventure is a chain adventure, so you cannot select the next adventure.]
[Skip the break.]
[Start your next adventure.]
[The twenty-ninth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 29. A dangerous gamble]
…

Nevenia’s most secret space.
The most dangerous secrets are the most tightly guarded..
The king's residence was under strict guard by knights 24 hours a day and no one was allowed to enter..
But here, in the living quarters of Servant IV, there was a person whom the king had not invited..
“Ho ho ho… You must feel new every day..”
The person talking next to Servant IV was the shadow woman with whom Kang Seol had a war of words earlier..
Jerry, the prisoner who was the instigator of the terrible incident that occurred on the Gatif family. One of the four pillars that support the Church of Eternal Life in the absence of her master and immortal..
Tarantula Bria.
He was the master of shadows like snowfall and one of the actual masters of the Eternal Life Church..
The fat man next to her complained..
“You're so busy that you don't even have time to take a breather. It would have been better if you were the successor..”
“How can it be that when the king says something like that, the people get worried??”
“Huh, Jim doesn't even want to know what those idiots think. Bria, you haven’t forgotten, right? If I make Nevenia completely mine, the Church of Eternal Life will also help me.?”
“Of course, your highness. Yeongsaenggyo always keeps its promises. But… What I asked you to do….”
“Ah, that's it. That ugly statue in Vigo.?”
Corruptor's Joy.
The thing Bria desperately wants.
It was a fairly high priority item among the things to be obtained while planning this project..
“It's gone..”
“…What do you mean by that? Did the girl just hear correctly??”
“It was confirmed that Liona, who noticed the situation, fled with some treasure. Maybe it was together too.”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Bria trembled with anger. Her Corruptor's Joy was of no use to Servant IV, but it was invaluable to her..
She wanted to cut off the head of this pig who spoke as if it were no big deal, but she held back with superhuman patience..
“if… I guess I'll have to retrieve it myself..”
“To someone like Liona, you?”
“The life of the princess whose power she built in Nevenia collapsed is of no concern... Because she can't hand over the statue..”
“Well, you figure it out..”
Crackling…
The pig's tone and thoughts all upset Bria, but since it was a job that took a lot of effort, she responded with a smile as much as possible..
Whirling…
A boy who had not fully matured appeared behind her. The boy's body looked thin..
“Did you call me? My wish, Bria.”
“Yes, Shuro. Go after her princess first instead of me. The location is….”
“It has been delivered. Should I kill you??”
Bria grinned..
“It's okay if you find the statue.”
“yes I will definitely repay Bria’s trust. please watch me.”
“okay. I trust Shuro. hmm… But just in case, why not take Biran and Bidon?.”
“bump… You don't believe me….”
“That's not it. I'm afraid Shuro might get hurt..”
“…I will follow Bria’s deep will..”
Whirling-!
When the boy disappeared, Servant IV laughed..
“Excessive loyalty..”
“Shuro will do well..”
“Even though there is chadorf?”
“Chardorf? Are you really talking about that stupid looking bugger??”
“okay. Liona's escort knight..”
“Ho ho ho… If it were Shuro, that pole would be broken in two at once..”
“If someone else got caught up with Liona?”
“Who would walk into hell on their own? No, even if that happens, it won't reach Shuro..”
“Are you sure??”
“I guarantee it.”
“…….”
Bria smiled brightly and walked away..
Servant IV muttered in his remaining room..
“something unpleasant….”
* * *
When Shuro, Bria's faithful servant, began pursuing Liona and her group, they were already near the border checkpoint..
“this….”
“why are you like that?”
The broker, who had no idea that the woman with them was Princess Liona, came here again to take Kangseol and his party across the border..
However, the situation was more serious than expected..
“It looks like the tail has been caught in the end. There was no news for a few days... Can you see it over there??”
“…I can see it.”
The head of the guard who helped Kang Seol cross the checkpoint was hanging on a pole, revealing his presence..
“Perhaps his identity has been discovered. I can't get past the checkpoint..”
“Is there any other way?”
“As long as the checkpoint is completely blocked, well... Let’s see, is that really the only way??”
“what….”
“Ha, wait a moment..”
Sigh…
Swish swish…
The man's writing was filled in on paper with a unique seal..
After a while.
[Obtain Montjuri's letter of introduction..]
“I plan to be careful for now. I can't take you across the border. Because my string at the checkpoint died and I ran out of options..”
“What is this letter of introduction??”
“Still, shouldn't you cross the border? It's a dangerous method, but I have no other choice right now..”
“Who should I go find??”
“There is a smuggling route built between Nevenia and Adeline. Now, this is a map showing the location of the smuggling route. I wrote a letter of introduction to the owner there... Come and see. If it's not urgent, I'd rather wait for the situation at the border of Nevenia to improve..”
“…thank you.”
“I won't ask for my money back?”
“You have already fulfilled your responsibility.”
“Hehe… Thank you for your words.”
“And a favor….”
“I understand. I will never go anywhere and talk about you. The time we spent together was short, but I heard about it..”
Kang Seol sent the broker away and retrieved 4 horses and handed them over..
he asked Liona.
“Rine, do you know how to ride a horse??”
“Hmm! It's basic. You can sleep on a horse.”
Liona said, putting her foot in the stirrup and trying to jump up..
“Grumble….”
failure.
“Keuungcha….”
failure.
“Chardorf… help me.”
“yes king… Line!”
Liona managed to get on the horse with Chardorf's help. She seemed embarrassed and turned away from Kang Seol's gaze..
“Hey!”
When Jiang Xue rode on horseback, the group followed him..
“Where are we headed now??”
In response to Liona's question, Kangseol told the group about what would happen in the future..
“I'm going to the smuggler..”
“yes?”
“There is no other way. There are some methods I have considered, but they all take a long time. We need to get out of Nevenia urgently..”
“If you're a smuggler... Is it Debrick??”
Brispin joined the conversation..
The name the broker said was Debrick, so Kang Seol asked..
“Do you know him??”
“Yes, he is quite a big player in Nevenia. He's one of the guys in the royal family who knows but can't put his hands on him..”
“Why??”
“Because the damage is great. The royal family once went on a subjugation mission, but retreated after suffering heavy losses. They also bled, but were not caught. After that it disappeared again. I heard that they had set up a new home, and I knew their location, but the punitive force was never formed again. Maybe the royal family wasn't interested in this sort of thing..”
Liona nodded..
“The late king felt burdened about using power externally. Unless the smugglers turned into a group of bandits, they didn't respond beyond that..”
Doo doo doo…
The horse galloped across the plains.
A few days later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain..
“From here, you have to get off your horse and walk..”
“Why??”
“They say that when you enter the mountain on horseback, you take a bath with arrows..”
“Let’s get off quickly! Let’s get down the chadorp quickly too.!”
“All right.”
So the four of us climbed the mountain..
“What if they suddenly shoot us??”
“Now that I'm off my horse and walking, at least I'll be asking questions..”
“Will it make sense??”
“well… If it doesn't work, you have to make it work..”
“what does that mean?”
It was then.
Growling…
The cry of a wild beast that makes the mountains cry. It seemed like a wild beast like a hunting dog was less intimidating than a wolf..
A voice came from the forest..
“Where are you stepping into here??”
Snowfall was about to come, but Brispin came first..
“I am Count Brispin! I came here after hearing that Debrick was here.?”
“like… Brispin? Isn’t he a southern noble who rebelled against the royal family??”
“we are….”
Pak-!
A dagger thrown by someone stuck in Brispin's front foot..
“…What are you doing??”
Seueuugh…
People appeared in the forest.
Everyone tied their strings to their bows and welcomed Kang Seol and his party..
Sigh…
A person who appears to be their leader has appeared..
large scar across the face.
Even the left eye looks like the eye of a rotten fish..
The man with a large cigarette in his mouth looked at Brispin and said:.
“Whoa... Let's not do this. They came here because they wanted something to pick up and eat.?”
“Us….”
“There is no crazy person who would run a smuggling route in this situation. Both Adeline and Nevenia are watching with their eyes wide open. If you understand, go away.”
“We must move on to Adeline..”
Debrik and the people around him laughed..
“pooh… Phew... What are you saying, noble guy?.”
“Let me use the smuggling route. I'll definitely repay you later….”
“quiet.”
“…….”
“I take the initiative. All you have to do is answer yes or no to what I ask..”
As Brispin nodded, Devrik shifted his gaze to the side..
“Hey, you're the runaway Princess Liona.?”
“…that's right.”
“I'll hand you over to Adeline..”
“Is it true??”
“Instead, leave that count's head alone..”
“…Why??”
“Either like it or dislike it?”
“no! You damn tax evader! How dare you threaten the king's blood with a criminal?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Liona's sudden answer..
“Well, well... Puhuhuh….”
“Hehehehe… . What a funny woman..”
After taking a moment to think, Debrick furrowed his brow and summarized the situation succinctly..
“shoot.”
“Princess! behind me….”
Pushushushushushu-!
Dozens of arrows rained down on Liona and her group..
“joy….”
At a time when it was expected that Liona would receive a barrage of arrows as a reward for her cruelty..
Whirling-!
Sigh.-!
Black paint was spilled on the mountain..
“…What, what?”
The sticky, black energy dropped all the flying arrows to the floor..
The person who did this was the black knight who suddenly appeared next to Liona..
‘What is that guy??’
Embarrassed, Devrick opened his eyes wide..
and.
Chii Iik…
Snowfall stood before his eyes. He used his index finger and thumb to extinguish the flame on Debrick's cigarette..
“I take the initiative. You just have to answer what I ask.”
“…….”
“Are you going to buy it? Are you going to die??”
