31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 215)
Long after Kang Seol and his party left.
A blood-soaked handkerchief covered Shuro's torn head..
The sight seemed to mean that one should not look directly at such a terrible scene..
Shuro, who won't die unless his throat is cut.
If you interpret the words the other way, it means that if your throat is cut, you will die..
flinch…
however.
flinch…
Now, Shuro's hand was moving like a fish, as if an electric current had passed through it. It looked like rigor mortis..
Slurp…
Shadows slowly gathered around Shuro's head and reorganized his cells..
This was something that no one in Kangseol, the world, or even the Eternal Life Church could have expected..
My head exploded, but I can regenerate it..
If Bria had seen this, she would have felt both happy and eerie..
There may have been suspicions that the immortal in his prime had returned by borrowing Shuro's body..
A sight that appears to have gone beyond physical regeneration and reached the stage of complete restoration..
Shuro should have died from the blow just now..
Slurp…
However, a lot of luck happened to him who was supposed to die..
First of all, there was a situation where the body was divided in a match with Karuna..
The situation where he had to regenerate half of his body drastically increased Shuro's regenerative power at once, and now he was repeating what he had already done once..
Also, the poison that pierced his heart was also heavenly luck..
As the poison spread throughout the body, body regeneration was active even before death..
In the meantime, my head exploded and I was able to immediately try to regenerate my body..
wiggle…
That created the current miracle.
“Puhaaaaa!”
No one witnessed Shuro's resurrection.
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
Pak-!
Shuro throws away the blood-soaked handkerchief that covered his face..
“nice….”
Shuro shook his shoulders and laughed..
“Survived... I survived this time too!”
The more Shuro experienced near death, the stronger he became. This is a step forward.
“Next time we fight... I can win.”
He smiled as he looked in the direction where the snowfall disappeared..
“i am immortal.”

The maritime nation of Prion.
If you were to choose a center of trade in southern Nevenia, Prion was definitely the first country to be chosen..
In addition to being able to obtain abundant maritime resources, Prion's wide floating port allowed many ships and supplies to come and go throughout the year..
Shoot ah…
“It's Priyon.!”
“To the sea... Isn't this your first time seeing the princess??”
“yes!”
Shoot aaaaa…
In order to reach the port of the city where there was an appointment with the Kingdom of Zonia, a horse was needed..
Since the enemies would also be chasing them on horseback, Kang Seol and his party also had to get their horses here..
Snowfall said to Liona.
“There's a magic store nearby, so I'll go and get it for a moment..”
“Careful.”
“You don't even look back..”
“Sorry, sorry….”
The majang was about a 10-minute walk from here..
Snowfall walks alone along the beach with the intention of getting a horse there..
Whirling-!
whilick-!
Karuna and Karen jumped out at the same time and saw the beach..
Karen watched the rolling waves with her mouth wide open..
“I can not believe it….”
“Beautiful?”
“This is all water?”
“Yes, it's all water.”
“Yes, you can touch it?”
“huh.”
Karen runs over and touches the sea water..
For no reason, Kangseol also smiled..
“pretty….”
“I really wanted to show you this sea.”
“huh! good! I think it would have been unfair if I had died without knowing what the sea looked like. ah! You're already dead.”
Shoot ahhh…
Karen held up a nearby conch shell and laughed..
“I think I like the sea!”
“I don't like the fishy smell?”
“That's good too! It's different from land..”
Karen looked at Snowfall and Karuna and said.
“me… thank you for taking me here.”
Karuna also expressed his feelings to Kang Seol..
“Thank you for leading us here, master..”
Snowfall scratched her nose for no reason..
- No, what… You said you miss your child.
- Me, I haven't done anything in particular…
- Would you like to take a ride on a duck boat? That's fun too.
- Rather, why are you giving me the feeling of goodbye??
- I'm anxious!
Karen and Karuna's first wish has come true..
If they were evil spirits, it wouldn't be surprising if they achieved Buddhahood now. Strangely enough, it felt like everything would be okay..
“now… what should i do?”
“When I came back to life, my only desire was to bring you here..”
“I know, that's why I say it. Karuna, what should we do now??”
There were times when I got lost in thought when I came to the beach where there was no one else but me..
As the waves came and went, thoughts came and went..
what do they think.
Karen tilted her head for a moment and then smiled..
“I decided! Let's keep clinging to each other!”
“I just decided that too.”
“also! Because we connect.”
- no!
- Please get out of the corner of the house!
- Snowmen are people too, people!
Karen and Karuna looked at the snowfall at the same time..
“I want to be with you, that's okay?”
Snowfall looked into their eyes and answered..
“However much.”
“phew… I'm glad you agreed. I was planning on sticking around even if he refused..”
Grief clicked its tongue in the lamplight..
【Tsk! I thought you annoying people would disappear this time! It's a shame!】
“I'll never leave, even if it's because of you!”
Karen grabbed Bitan’s cheeks and stretched them out..
【Hahaha! Hahima says!】
Doo doo doo doo…
Snowfall and the party have just arrived at Labene, the port city of Prion, which was their destination..
[The resting base will be changed to Lavene..]
[It's a base move. Roll the travel luck dice.]
[The travel luck die rolls 5..]
[I got a great fortune.]
[Your adventures near Labene will proceed with ease..]
[Your adventure near Labene will be played on easy difficulty..]
[There is a small chance that the adventure you chose near Labene will be forced to be replaced by another unexpected adventure..]
[When unexpected adventures occur, luck comes into play..]
[It's a good fortune to venture nearby..]
Chardorf said as he tied up his horse at an inn near the dock..
“Line, didn't you do well not to give up??”
“That's right, really.”
Count Brispin shrugged his shoulders..
“I guess we got there somehow. It's truly like a miracle.”
Liona responded while looking at the snowfall..
“Yes, what I experienced was nothing short of a miracle..”
“Let's go. I said the ship was docked at dock 18..”
Let alone sightseeing, they head to the dock without even a sip of water..
That's how strong the desire to achieve the goal was. Definitely a desire to return to Zonia..
10th…
12th…
15th…
Their breathing became heavier every time they passed a specific numbered dock. Especially, Princess Liona’s breathing..
“ha… ha….”
Riona shakes her head and runs, saying it won't be true..
But her expectations were shattered..
18There was no ship in the dock..
“…….”
“…This.”
“Line, let me find out..”
Kikluk…
Kikluk…
A pier where only the sound of seagulls can be heard.
A man with a bandage over one eye approached them..
“Riona… princess?”
“who….”
“It's called Sikorji. He is in charge of the ship sent by Zonia to take the princess. No, he was in charge..”
“what is that….”
Sikorji lowered his head as if he had no shame..
And he guided them to a quiet place. Sikorji talks quietly in a smelly inn..
“The ship docked at the dock as scheduled..”
“But why….”
“It's all because of them….”
“Those guys?”
Sikorji closed his eyes with a sad face..
“There were some guys who made ridiculous offers to take over our ships..”
“…who is that?”
“I do not know. The fact that he was wearing a mask was suspicious, but since his identity was hidden, I didn't want to talk about it any more. I had no intention of selling the boat and asked that this topic never be mentioned again. and….”
thud-!
Sikorji hit the table..
“A few nights ago... the ship is on fire.”
“…….”
“maybe… It's probably their doing. The crew was mobilized to put out the fire on the ship, but the ship was already….”
Kang Seol wanted to stop Sikorji from talking..
‘This is a bit….’
Liona's heart probably felt like it was falling into the deep sea after hearing this..
I hoped she wouldn't get frustrated..
At that time, Liona asked Sikorji back:.
“Or, the reason you got hurt?….”
“It's nothing special..”
“the other sailors….”
“No one was injured.”
“Thank goodness. What is the total number??”
“About twelve….”
“Everyone must have had a hard time.”
“princess….”
Liona responds to Sikorji with a bright smile.
“So now all we have to do is find a boat, right??”
“…….”
“every… You will be able to return safely. Do not worry.”
Liona tried to reassure Sikorji, but everyone here knew..
that things are not that simple.
‘There is no way to move other than by boat when there is a pursuer... It is impossible to find a ship that can carry as many as fifteen people at once, and even if one were to be found, the departure schedule would have to be brought forward to today.….’
It was an incredibly dangerous situation..
“therefore… What are you going to do next?….”
The group's gaze naturally turned to Kang Seol. Because the golden eyes behind the crow mask always looked beyond.
The words that came out of the crow's mouth were the same this time too..
“Still, there is a way.”
“Is it true??”
“Instead, it would be a little risky..”
Liona nodded..
* * *
Wherever there was sweet honey, insects were bound to be attracted..
Among them, there were bees that faithfully transported honey, but there were also wasps and all kinds of miscellaneous bugs that harassed the bees..
In the case of Labene, stowaways and pirates were the very same bugs..
Now, the place where Snowfall and his party arrived was a ‘dangerous street’ that was like a hideout for Lavene pirates..
This is a place where alcohol and prohibited items of unknown origin are distributed, including brothels, which are almost always found wherever ships come and go..
Just getting all the way here was quite tiring..
“Liona. I hope you haven't forgotten the rules here that I mentioned earlier..”
“yes….”
‘Wet Boots’, the biggest bar in the promiscuous streets..’
Snowfall and his party set foot there..
I profit…
“Hahahaha!”
“You crazy bastard, you're kidding me?”
“No, it's not a joke. ruler! Give me the money quickly.”
“You're playing with your hand, right?!”
“…Do you want to try it??”
Kwasik-!
Chairs were flying, and hot food and alcohol were constantly flying in the air..
‘They're all just little things.’
Snowfall could tell this from the energy felt from these people..
A hooded pirate found the princess..
“wow! Is it really pretty? Ann is new?”
“You idiot! Just by looking at him, he’s a nobleman.!”
“aha! nobility? A nobleman?”
“nobility?”
“A nobleman comes here?”
The dangerous street was an area that even Lavene had abandoned management..
It was a place where murders, robberies, arson, and looting occurred every day, so I felt the need for management, but the power of those who set foot in this place was greater than the power of Labene..
So, we made a reasonable compromise and designated an area and went beyond the line of not encroaching on private facilities..
Anyway, it was incomprehensible to anyone without going crazy that a noble would show up in a place like this without fear, so everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the princess and her group..
someone asked the princess.
“Hey, what's your name??”
The first rule for customers visiting dangerous streets is not to tell lies when they ask..
Even if you lie, the moment you get caught, it's over..
“Liona.”
“what?”
“It's called Riona.?”
“Puhahaha! Not that runaway princess?”
“Is that so? Our names are the same.”
“no, the face….”
“Oh my, it's real..”
Liona said calmly.
“That's right, I'm the princess Liona who was kicked out of Neveia..”
“…….”
“You're crazy..”
For the first time in a while, everyone's attention was focused as if something interesting had happened..
“It's true….”
“Why did you come here??”
“I'm going to die anyway, even if it's suicide in the end….”
At that time, a deep voice came from the second floor, which was hidden by a curtain..
“Everyone, shut up.”
“…….”
“…….”
Snowfall was inwardly relieved..
‘Is there still at least one person??’
The second floor of Wet Boots could only be climbed by pirates who were considered big and recognized..
Here, because of the curtain, I couldn't see who was behind me, so I could only tell by their voices..
“The business is?”
Liona said firmly..
“I'm looking for a boat to go to Zonia..”
“Why a pirate ship? Didn't Zonia send a ship??”
“that is….”
don't lie.
“Someone burned the boat.”
“Well, who did it??”
Among pirates, someone said.
“It's them! Those guys who had the guts to take over the ship!”
“like… Where are they now??”
“It's under the sea. How dare you fearlessly target our ship? It's old but still running well.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Liona continued..
“So I ask you for help….”
Pak-!
An egg flew and hit Liona's head..
Raw eggs flowed down Liona’s head..
Chadorf's eyes turned bright red and he tried to pull out his sword, but Snowfall took his hand..
‘You can't pull it out.’
The second rule of a customer on a dangerous street: endure any insult..
“go away.”
“Puhahahaha!”
The pirates laughed and mocked her..
If I were a delicate person, I would have burst into tears right away..
Probably, it would have been like that if it had been Liona at the beginning of her exile..
‘You shouldn't cry.’
Third rule: The moment you appeal with tears, you are expelled..
Since they were pirates who even shed tears, they hated showing weak emotions..
“…Why??”
“I hate nobility, they smell shameless.”
“ha ha ha! Yes, it smells shameless. I'm disgusted!”
Liona did not lose and smiled as she looked towards the second floor..
“I see. But now that it's covered in the smell of eggs, wouldn't it be okay??”
“…….”
That one word stopped the pirates laughing..
2The tycoon who threw the egg from the floor hesitated for a moment before answering..
“I am not interested in this matter. Die or not.”
Just as Liona was biting her lip, another voice was heard from the second floor..
“I'm interested. Riona? Did you say?”
woman's voice.
However, it was not a friendly voice..
Kangseol unusually focused on the fact that it was a woman's voice..
‘Was there one more big name? female? … no way.’
It seemed like Kang Seol somehow knew the woman’s identity..
In the world of pirates, if there was a woman who would rise to the position of a big name, Kangseol was the only one she knew..
“Why do you want to cross to Zonia? Because I simply don't want to die?”
If I answered wrong this time, I had no more chances. Because if you lose interest, no one will help you..
“that….”
“Answer me.”
Liona turned to the direction the voice came from and said.
“I plan to challenge for the throne..”
“…….”
The king of Zonia was elected in an unusual way..
Perhaps, he was saying that he would dig into that and become king..
One, it was a wrong answer.
“Well, too bad. I'm not really interested in that.”
At that time, snowfall spoke beyond the curtain.
“I have news for you, Julia..”
“…how do you know me?”
“Because there aren't many pirates that can be seen from there. Moreover, a pirate with a voice like this.”
“By the way, I don't have any curious news.?”
“no, there is.”
“doesn't exist.”
The pirates were making noise..
“Don't act like a fool and go away!”
“Are you going to fawn over Julia?!”
Snowfall spoke very calmly to the woman presumed to be Julia..
“santos is dead.”
“…….”
The bar becomes quiet again.
“If you bring the princess to Zonia, I will tell you his fate. However, if you do not accept it, you will never know his final fate..”
“…how do you know that?”
“Because only I know.”
Santos was a horse of snow.
A person I remember as being a very vain pirate..
And, he was related to Julia..
Seueuugh…
The curtain lifted, and Julia appeared..
One of her legs was a wooden prosthetic.
Again…
Jeopuk…
she asked as she came down the stairs..
“That idiot... He died in the end. As for Santos… How did Santos die??”
Kang Seol tilted his head..
A gesture asking why you don't accept the offer.
Julia trembled and twisted her pipe..
She seemed to have finally calmed down and spoke with her alluring eyes..
“money.”
Tuk-!
Kang Seol threw a money bag from her arms. Since I already had enough money, this amount of bleeding was worth taking..
Julia checked the platinum coins in her purse and spoke softly as she left the bar..
“It's departure.”
At that moment, the vicious-looking pirates inside the bar came pouring out..
“It's departure!”
“Julia is leaving!”
