31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 242)
“What the hell… what are you talking about!”
“Well, but… I heard it! I'm sure I heard you say that.!”
Even Chiwoo, who had always maintained a carefree attitude, showed interest in the name Hwageumu..
“Really? That's what I heard.?”
“ah… Yes….”
“Hmm… This incident seems to have been done by someone more powerful than I thought..”
Snowfall also thought the same way..
‘Hwageumu resurrected himself... then….’
Soon the dictionary that was only in his head was opened..
Hwagmu had people who helped him with his ambitions. Not only humans but also various other races.
‘no way….’
Among the many characters, there is one who passes through Kang Seol’s mind..
“AC! Does that matter now? What does it matter whether I die this way or that way??”
“but….”
Miners poured out their complaints.
It wasn't wrong..
Until just now, they were here waiting for the future of starvation or death from madness..
A person who was desperate to take one step at a time had no choice but to look at the ground an inch in front of him..
One of the miners asked while looking at Kang Seol and his party..
“food! Do you have any food??”
“As the giant soldier crashed, the cargo ship fell off.….”
Kang Seol nodded..
‘Was that why you were more sensitive??’
People who had starved for several days and were close to death would not have been able to welcome them with courtesy and heart. What's more, the giant army that was their only hope was repaired without any prior notice..
“Snowfall's cooking is great, so just wait a moment..”
When Seolhong said this, everyone, including Chiwoo, tilted their heads and asked..
“cooking? Is it possible to cook in this situation??”
“what are you talking about….”
At that time, an unfamiliar scene was created that could not possibly be considered a shipwreck situation..
In the blink of an eye, a black steel wok was placed on a simple cooking surface and oil was poured on it..
Cheeeeee…
The smell of oil alone was enough to hit the noses of the miners who had taken off their cumbersome protective clothing..
Probably, if Seolhong hadn't stopped him, there would have been a miner licking the hot wok with his tongue..
Cheeeeee…
Gangseol is noodles made from rice stir-fried with oil and served with small pieces of vegetables..
gulp…
Then he tilted it to one side and filled the empty space with eggs..
Then I moved the existing ingredients onto the eggs..
“haha… It's something to live for a long time..”
“Cooking in a mine….”
The Sodong Mine rarely experienced problems that would occur in a typical mine, such as coal dust explosions or stone dust..
The air circulation function in the designated area mounted on the giant soldier itself was so excellent that, if it were not for hearing loss, all food, clothing, and shelter could be provided here..
Anyway, after Kangseol distributed the food, everyone started eating..
“Huh... Hot, hot….”
“It is dangerous if you eat it in a hurry..”
Everyone ate with their noses in their plates..
For the first time since they first met, the miners fell silent..
Oh my gosh…
“Well done! I feel energized after eating a little bit..”
“Beyond feeling energized, I'm now sleepy.….”
“So, it's dangerous to suddenly eat a lot.!”
Seolhong said.
“Take a nap. We'll have to talk about the future while you guys sleep..”
A man who appeared to be the leader of the miners waved his hand..
“How can you be rude by lying down and sleeping in front of Yonghwa?….”
“Do I look like Yonghwa now??”
“Wow, there were a lot of examples..”
eat…
“You can be even more rude. Because your colleagues are already doing that..”
“…yes?”
When the miner looked back, everyone was lying down holding one place..
“These kids….”
“It has been done. It is much more important for the future for you to quickly regain your strength..”
“…thank you.”
So the miners went to sleep..
Even Chi-woo jumps in between them and sleeps together..
Seolhong and Kangseol looked at the wolf boy in bewilderment and then talked..
“how to see?”
“It's never a good situation.”
“I think so too. I burned too much fuel on the way there..”
“Also, we can't afford to move two giant soldiers..”
“I confirmed that too. There isn't much to be gained from the two giant soldiers. If you move them both at the same time, you won't be able to escape this underground and will run out of fuel..”
“In the end, we all have to move to Towang Unit 1 that we came on..”
“Yes. one… Unless fuel consumption is drastically reduced, that method cannot be certain of success..”
After hearing Seolhong’s words, Kangseol looked at her and asked..
“Is there some way??”
“One thing is, there is a way to walk. You can leave this to me, but the important thing is what holds us back..”
“I think so too. I think the success or failure of a job actually depends on it..”
Inside this pitch-black mine, a powerful threat lurked..
“What do you think this guy is??”
“…I can only think of one guy who has the power to collapse a mine of this size and has something to do with this deep demonic energy..”
“Is it like that for you too??”
“yes.”
Seolhong’s eyes narrowed..
“This much power... Looks like he's a bitch.”
“I think the same thing.”
Is it dark?.
One of the three ghost generals who commanded Hwagmu's ghost soldiers..
It is said that Eodukshini was sealed by the Dragon Emperor before Hwageumu in the past..
“But there is something that doesn't make sense.”
“This is not the location where he was sealed.?”
“yes. I understand that it was sealed in the Twilight Mountain, which is a long way from Tumaku..”
“The Dragon Emperor is not one to neglect the management of the darkness. That means either he's not dark, or the seal was lifted here by his own efforts or with the help of an assistant..”
“Either way, it's a problem. If there is someone who shows off this much power even though he is not a Dark Lord, that would be a big deal, and if the seal on Dark Lord was released, that would be a big problem as well..”
“It hasn't been long since the seal was released. I know that a being awakened from a long seal cannot use even half of its power..”
“Even so, the monster from Sentai is a monster.….”
“Is he trying to hold us back??”
“It looks like they're already doing it with all their might..”
“…ha. Just saving a life is enough to give you a headache, so why does such an ordeal even happen?.”
the snowfall was silent.
‘In times like this, it would have been nice if Jamad or Ur were there..’
This happened when two people who were well versed in witchcraft and magic were away. I had no choice but to come up with a self-rescue plan..
“By the way, what is the way to reduce the fuel consumption mentioned earlier??”
“that….”
Jiiiiiiing…
Chijijik…
crackling…
The protective umbrella was not lifted and remained in place for several days. The way to breathe without consuming fuel is to maintain a protected area by consuming the batteries of giant soldiers that are difficult to drive..
And it will reach its limit someday.
I saw Seolhong, a miner, moving Towang Unit 1 and continuing to create something. And she asked the mechanic what she was doing.
“What is it doing now??”
“I'm watching in silence. Because we are learning together.”
“…what? That's really true?”
Not only the mechanics but also the miners became closer to Yonghwain Seolhong. There was no doubt about his relationship with Kang Seol, who personally prepared their meals..
“ah… I'm bored.”
Chiu felt drowsy in his carefree daily life..
It was fun, but it seemed like a lot of noisy things would happen, but after arriving deep underground, nothing happened..
Everyone ate at a set time, Seolhong worked at a set time, and everyone slept at a set time..
Chiwoo looked at Seolhong’s back..
her face covered in grease.
I thought that after a few more days, it would turn blacker than the miners..
Chiu looked at her face and had doubts..
Why are you working so hard?.
and looked around.
Not only Chiu but others were also looking at Seolhong blankly..
Chiu's mother, Choyeon, who was a descendant of the Lang tribe, left these words before she died:.
- Chiu, you have inherited the blood of the Lang people. Noble and strong blood. In addition, I gained the great status of dragon blood..
- mom…
- Unlike other Lang people... you can choose life.
The position of the beast people in Khan was not very high..
In particular, the very foundation of the Lang tribe was being shaken by long-standing conflicts, and Choyeon was always worried about the future of the Lang tribe..
She was destined to die soon, and of course she had to pass on the dark worries she had been carrying to her children. she deserved it.
One, she didn't..
- Be happy, Chiwoo. live your life….
- …….
Choyeon left, and with her death, the link with the Lang tribe also disappeared..
Chiu was left alone and did not yet realize what attitude he should have in life..
After Choyeon disappeared, the only people who had an influence on his life were his brothers..
- People? All the people under the Dragon Emperor were indebted to the Dragon Emperor. Yonghwa, the bloodline of a dragon, has the right to take charge of their lives, which are nothing more than a pile of dirt.!
Chiwoo is a noble bloodline and a strong bloodline at the same time..
Even though I was in the same situation as Yonghwa, I hated that comment for some reason..
So I beat them up hard..
With the martial art he is best at.
- Argh! This bastard…
- I am stronger than you. So you are below me.
- what?
- From now on, I will do whatever I want with you.!
Chi-woo used training as an excuse to harass Yong-hwa, who he did not like. In the end, he gave in.
- You're right… stop….
Somehow, it became no longer fun so I stopped bothering him again..
How on earth are you telling me to live??
Premiere gave me a choice, but he didn't leave after giving me instructions..
An opponent's will can be broken through violence..
No, there were many cases where people were discouraged by fear without resorting to violence..
The world has become boring.
They are all brats who pretend to be solid, especially those trapped in the shell of Yonghwa..
Of course, I thought so until I met Seolhong..
“that's interesting….”
Why is Seolhong so desperate?.
Myself? or miners?
Then, a miner spoke up..
“we… Shouldn't I just give up??”
“what?”
“Well, right? If we save fuel, we'll be able to last a few more weeks here, then we'll have to wait until we find ourselves.….”
“Don't be stupid! The sound I keep hearing is getting closer! You never know when something will happen.”
For the past few days, I've been hearing ghostly sounds while sleeping..
- you are afraid of me.
- Feel the fear, close your eyes and sob..
To dismiss it as a nightmare, we all had the same dream. This is clearly the work of something that jumped out of the door..
“As Seolhong said, this is the only way to get out now.!”
“Yes, but….”
Cheolkeong…
“It's over. Let's all gather together..”
Seolhong created a huge box with iron plates connected to each other. No, to be exact, it was just a remodeled cargo box inside another giant soldier..
“What is that??”
“coffin?”
“Box?”
Seolhong explained step by step..
“Do you see the connection over there??”
Looking closely, there was a hose connected to the hole..
“yes, i see it.”
“Fuel is injected there and the protective wall is activated..”
“So, that entire box is surrounded by a protective wall.?”
“Yes. You can think of it as a giant protective suit..”
“Oxygen is….”
“Oxygen also continues to circulate through the purification device..”
A box made so crudely that it can safely be said to be a coffin in terms of aesthetics..
“Are you planning on putting us in there??”
“…Yes.”
The miners murmured with cold expressions..
“Do you know what you are talking about??”
“Yes.”
a pipe tightly closed on all sides.
If you were to escape on board that ship, you would have to spend several days without knowing what was going on outside..
one of the mechanics asked.
“Why this method….”
“Because this is the only way. There is not much remaining fuel. The batteries used in the protective umbrella will soon die. We must conserve all our resources to reach the ground..”
“that….”
“I know, you must be scared too. If you trust me….”
It was then.
“Can you believe it? You are Yonghwa!”
“Be careful what you say!”
“What happened to everyone's hair? Did you forget? What did the person who appeared, Yonghwa, do to us?.”
“…….”
“I mean, that kid banned mining because of the ruins, so my father couldn't work. One morning he was sitting on the street! My father took his life for that!”
“…….”
“That’s the Yonghwa I experienced! You hypocrite, you don't care who dies under your feet!”
Seolhong asked.
“Do you remember his name??”
“…Each and every one. It was definitely all different.”
“…….”
Disappointment was written on Seolhong’s face..
Each of the bad rumors about us had its own basis..
