31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 21)
Kang Seol broke through the first gate of the Hall of Temperance using his own memories, not interpretations..
Viewers watching him made a fuss at his unpredictable moves..
‘'It's Coming!' sponsored Madness by 200.!
[There's definitely a pursuer coming behind you! uh? You passed.?]
- ㄹㅇ It was a high pass so I passed right through..
- I thought I had to pay the toll and go.
- But why did you leave the interpretation copy behind??
- There's no need.
He walked for a while down the single path that appeared beyond the first gate..
Soon the second gateway was revealed..
‘A wall full of holes, just like I remembered..’
Memories that come to mind perfectly.
He concentrated and looked at the phrase in the distance..
There was a phrase written on the wall in an ancient language..
Soon a choice came to mind..
[There are arrow traps on both walls, and a lot of unknown ancient language written on the front. what would you do?]
1. Take the time to deduce what the content of the ancient language might be.
2. Throw something to see if the arrow trap triggers..
3. Run fast and break through.
4. [Required: disarm trap or thief] disarm arrow trap.
5. [Required: Mechanical Engineering] Check how the engine device works.
6. [Required: Archaeologist or Shaman] Interpret ancient languages.
……
“…….”
1The first time has a high chance of failure, and the second time, throwing a stone will trigger a trap..
And number 3 is crazy..
‘arrows are very fast.’
The arrows pouring down from both walls were not in numbers that Jamard could catch, and they were very fast..
‘And it's soaked in poison, so it's dangerous to even touch it..’
He wasn't a thief, so no. 4 is excluded..
5Bun had to destroy the core of the engine mechanism, but Snow Seol didn't know where it was..
In the end, the only thing left is option 6.
And the option that Kang Seol chose before was also option number 6..
‘The phrase at that time was clear….’
- Practice humility and self-control. Express your gratitude for Izumokan’s blessings..
A phrase I remember clearly.
I later found out that this Hall of Temperance was a place where a local god whose identity was not clearly known was worshiped..
It is hard to estimate how powerful the priests who stayed here must have been to create a ruin of this scale, but what is important now is that this place is no different from a temple..
‘It means pray or bow..’
Once upon a time, one of his colleagues died here..
Because I misunderstood the instructions of the ruins..
Snowfall took out a throwable object from her arms, placed it on the floor, and rolled it forward..
Degurrrrrrr…
there was no reaction.
‘It's safe.’
Chak…
Snowfall flattened its body and crawled very low like a frog crushed by a tire..
The scene of him crawling on the floor seemed comical at first glance, but in reality, it was a tense moment that made you sweat..
‘This trap does not work on areas adjacent to the floor..’
The other day, his colleague who died here was the first to die after being grazed by a poisoned arrow while making a clumsy bowing posture..
After that, all the party members that followed fell flat and moved..
[Passed the second gate of the Hall of Temperance.]
The snowfall passed through the gate one after another..
All thanks to the memories of his second character..
[Passed the third gate of the Hall of Temperance.]
[Passed the fourth gate of the Hall of Temperance.]
……
And those pursuing him finally set foot on this historic site..
[Borgo's group of relic hunters appears in the Halls of Temperance..]
[They'll come after you and your treasure..]
“You came in.”
Snowfall had arrived at the passage before heading to the fifth gate..
If you go a little further, you will reach the fifth gate, and he stops here for a moment..
Here, in a corner where there was little light, three levers were placed. The levers had ancient words for 2, 3, and 4 written on them respectively..
It was probably just a hieroglyph, so it was easy to recognize..
A choice came to mind.
[This appears to be a lever related to the engine device of the gateway that was previously breached. Maybe this will help us elude our pursuers. what would you do?]
1. Pull the leftmost lever.
2. pull the center lever.
3. Pull the rightmost lever.
……
Gigi Geek-!
Crash!
Snowfall pulled all three levers.

Borgo has arrived at the Hall of Temperance.
He detected the musty smell of the ruins and the faint smell of fresh blood..
“He's here.”
There seemed to be about 30 people crowded into the ruins..
Even if the snowfall is currently strong, it would be difficult to deal with this many people at the same time..
“Kirzin, step forward..”
“yes, yes….”
“If you fooled me, I know?”
“Well, that will never happen! Cujo arbitrarily took a poorly interpreted version! Why did I contact Borgo first??”
“Negotiations with Kujo have not broken down.?”
“…Please believe me. I will prove that this Kirzhin is innocent..”
“joy.”
Kirjin, who is constantly watching Borgo's side, is the one who gave Kujo the interpretation of the ruins' trap..
Although he could not be considered well-versed in archaeology, he was good at manipulating other archaeologists..
Because of this, we succeeded in interpreting the traps in the ruins. This is not the clumsy interpretation that Cujo brought up, but the real interpretation..
“here! I think it's his mark.!”
Kirgin, who saw the torn interpretation, said to Borgo:.
“He seems to know that his interpretation of the ruins was wrong..”
“how?”
“…yes?”
“So, how?”
“that… I do not know.”
“Does this guy have a knack for archaeology??”
Kirgin expected that the person Borgo was chasing would not have passed the first gate, but was surprised to find that he crossed over without leaving a trace..
‘If this were to happen, I would be the only one suffering from Borgo... damn you bastard.’
In the worst case scenario, Borgo could kill Kirzin..
Because he was a man like that.
Kirzin said to Borgo.
“The previous interpretation said that five sacrifices were needed here, but that was a wrong interpretation..”
“…….”
Zech-
Kirjin cut the tip of his finger shallowly, causing blood to flow out. and dropped it in front of the door.
Coo coo coo coo geuggeung-!
Soon, the door opened with a vibration..
“Have you seen it? You can trust me.!”
“It seems so. Take the lead.”
Borgo got rid of some doubts..
That could be felt even in his gaze towards Kirjin..
Kirjin was excited and walked quickly to the second gate..
“ha ha ha! this place! What about here too? But that guy….”
“I guess he crossed over..”
“how… How did you know?”
“Is there any way for us to know what you don't know??”
Borgo's associates urged Kirgin.
“Kirjin, we have to break through the ruins faster than he does. If you fall behind like this, he'll steal all your rewards. You know, right? Borgo hates having his things taken away..”
“Oh, I know..”
“If you do that, you'll probably guess what will happen if you're later than him..”
“I'll get through the ruins as quickly as possible.!”
Kirzhin told me how to get through without a long explanation..
“You have to crawl on the floor to get there..”
“…Tell us to crawl on the floor?”
“There are arrow traps, but it will take some time to properly defuse them. If that happens, he will be the first….”
“i get it. Borgo….”
“heard.”
“What would you do? Should we send someone to pass first??”
Borgo stroked his chin after hearing what his aide said and made a decision..
“No, it goes right through..”
“Would you mind? It can be dangerous.”
“Even at this moment, he is ahead of us. I don't like when someone stands in front of me..”
“…All right.”
“Let's trust Kirgin.”
Kirgin, who was listening, shouted confidently..
“thank you!”
All 30 people crawled on the floor like that..
In preparation for any possible incident, all personnel on both edges were armed with shields, and the Borgo was located in the very center to pass through. Kirzin could see some of the people ahead of him reaching the end of the gate..
he said triumphantly.
“As you can see, this ruin was dismantled piece by piece by Kirjin, revealing its innermost parts. Assuming it is a gateway in the future, there is nothing special, but there are two things to be careful about.….”
Kirjin is talking and answering unasked questions while pounding on the floor..
Borgo was about to tell Kirgin to shut up, but after hearing Kirgin's last sentence, he changed his mind and asked..
“Things to watch out for?”
“yes! The one is… what? uh… Wait, maybe not? I shouldn't do that..”
“what are you talking about? Speak clearly.”
“that is… When you reach the exact halfway point of the ruins, there is a place where you can control the gateway you passed through earlier.….”
“If he went there?”
“that….”
It was then.
Cheolkeong-!
The noise of loading something came from the wall..
30The people's hearts shook as loudly as the sound of the gun being fired..
“For the shield!”
“Run! get up and run!”
And then hell began.
Push shoo shoo shoo shoo shoot!
“Wow!….”
“Wow!”
“Wow!!”
Push shoo shoo shoot!
The rain of arrows continued to pour down..
No, it might not be an appropriate expression since there won't be rain coming only from both sides..
Fortunately, his subordinates gathered around him to protect Borgo rather than themselves, and as a result, Borgo was able to reach the end of the gate without being hit by a single arrow..
“Huh... Ugh... The damage is?”
“Fortunately, we responded appropriately….”
“The damage is?”
“It's seven. however….”
“however?”
“Kirzhin is dead. Of course, I received most of the content from him.….”
Kirjin's body covered in arrows was seen in a place where arrows were pouring down. Borgo didn't scream even with the horrible corpses.
“Hehehe….”
“Borgo.”
“Hahahahahaha! fun! A guy called Snowman. it is not so?”
no one laughed with him.
Borgo is angry now..
Because he was a laughing devil.
When his laughter stopped, there was a spark in his eyes.
“From this moment on, taking his life is a priority over the treasures of the ruins..”
“yes!”
“yes!”
“How dare you touch this borgo... You can prepare yourself.”

[This ruins man took care of it, so don't worry.!]
- Thank you, Relic Man!
- It gives me goosebumps, Snowman lol. Has anyone seen the experience level increase??
- Look again and again
- I wish it would be completely split apart haha.
- But gates 3-4 were easy.
Viewers cheered at what happened due to Kang Seol's simple actions, but Kang Seol was actually looking at the fifth gate with serious eyes..
‘There is no door. … That's the place.’
The fifth gateway had no doors other than the entrance. In other words, it was a secret room..
[Sensitivity is triggered..]
[There is a trap here.]
The insight was triggered, and then a choice came to mind..
[I can't see the door. How to act?]
1. Feel around the wall to find something suspicious..
2. shout loudly.
3. Go back and look for another way.
4. [Required: Disarm trap or thief] Search trap.
5. [Required: Archaeologist or Shaman] Interpret ancient languages.
……
As expected, there was ancient language written on the wall again..
Kang Seol recalled the phrase from memory..
- Close your eyes and walk. As much as the distance in my heart towards Izumokan-sama.
It was impossible to close your eyes in a place with traps unless you were quite crazy..
Even if a trap was triggered, I had to see it with my own eyes and avoid it..
But, there were definitely people who could do that..
As the text says, they are either people who worship the local god called Izumokan, or they are the people who designed this ruin..
If not that too.
The one who knows how to pass through this gateway like snowfall.
‘Okay, here we go..’
Jeopuk.
Jeopuk.
Snowfall closed her eyes and walked slowly..
Counting each step.
It felt like I could feel warmth, or it felt like the wind was blowing gently..
‘weird. please….’
I felt like someone was around me.
He walked eight steps and paused..
The number of the being called Izumokan that he interpreted was eight, so if you stop here, you will definitely see a door..
Of course, if you are wrong, you will fall into the trap..
However, due to a strange feeling, Kang Seol did not open her eyes. He suddenly remembered his character who had passed through this place..
‘You're wrong, it's nine steps now..’
There was a clear difference between his second character and his current self..
It was the kidney.
‘Zilliak was well over 2 meters tall. Because it was set up that way. Then I have to take one more step.’
This is not a simple step trap.
One of his former party members was a short dwarf, so he had to walk twenty steps here..
‘Because the priests here were big..’
It was an arbitrary setting that I found out later, but the priests here were all large, over 2m tall, and the length and measurement itself were determined based on their height..
So 8 steps for them.
Jeopuk.
‘9 steps for me now.’
Snowfall opened its eyes.
I saw a door in front of me.
Cheolkeong-!
[Passed the fifth gate of the Hall of Temperance.]
he was getting closer.
To his second character, the ruin hunter Zilliak, whom he lost here..
