31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 290)
Old gentleman of all things.
Objects that appear with a low probability in the Mansang Library.
No one knows the identity of the old gentleman, but the effect of encountering him was widespread. Of course, in this case, it applies to gods who have enjoyed the eternal world for a long time..
anyway.
Now, Kang Seol was facing a person with a similar appearance to the old gentleman..
‘No, the old gentleman of all people is right..’
From the moment the old gentleman asked the question, Kang Seol was sure of that..
“You mean your favorite book??”
For now, I'm hesitant to delay answering.
“Yes, you heard right. Do you have a favorite book??”
There was clearly something to say here that made me say no..
And the player who blew that golden opportunity regretted it after hitting the ground..
“of course.”
“Ho... What is the field like??”
A choice came to mind.
[An unidentified old gentleman has spoken to you. The old gentleman asked you a question without doing anything special. … What kind of book do you like?.]
1. I like technical books related to engineering and manufacturing..
2. I like books related to magic..
3. I enjoy religious books related to divinity.
4. Read miscellaneous books containing a variety of knowledge.
……
There were so many different types of options that I couldn't even see them all at once..
“Ugh… who?”
Jin Ryeo heard the voice and approached Jiang Seol, but was taken aback when she saw the old gentleman..
“grandfather who….”
“Hehehe… You later. hmm… go that way.”
Grumbling…
Like a reading room, there were desks and chairs to read books. Kang Seol, Jin Ryeo, and the old gentleman of Manjang went there and sat down..
Sigh…
Old gentleman crossing his legs.
“Yes, the answer is?”
Kang Seol glanced at his notepad and thought about his answer..
‘The books you need to get are technical books, trivia books, or biographies... to get that….’
He looked at the list written by Xiamen and suddenly thought back to the question from earlier..
- Do you have a favorite book??
Still, the old gentleman's eyes were sparkling..
‘Favorite… book.’
What is written on the notepad is the book you need to find..
It wasn't his favorite book.
‘book… It's a book….’
There were countless anecdotes related to the book of snowfall..
From old books found in monsters' nests to records containing the history of an unknown continent..
I found joy in each and every one of these things. If I were to answer the old gentleman, I would probably say that I like all of them that I have collected and read over a long period of time..
but.
just one book.
If I had to choose just one book I really liked,….
‘…Maybe it's the book.’
No matter what, I would pick a book I wrote myself..
I wrote it myself, but I didn't know the details, so I would like to read it..
“…west.”
“hmm?”
“I like magic books.”
“It’s a magic book… It is an item for those who desire the truth. okay… It's a magic book….”
As the old gentleman continued to mumble, Jinryeo snuggled up next to Kangseol and whispered to him with a smile on his face..
“It must be the ghost of the library. Should I tell Kunna and stab her in the back and run away??”
- A true romantic of this era..
- Umigwan is mine.
Kang Seol laughed and whispered to Jin Ryeo..
“Don't do that, just talk to that person.”
“Eek… I can't communicate with older people….”
“Still.”
The old gentleman looked at Jinryeo and said,.
“Does that lady there have a favorite book??”
“Sue, lady….”
“Why do you do that? If you don't like the name….”
“Nice lady... . I tend to like spell books related to Jin..”
Jinryeo gently tucked one side of her hair behind her ear. The neckline below her ears was exposed and her flushed skin was visible..
- Umigwan was sold at auction..
- Truth! The type that is weak to praise!
The old gentleman asked Kang Seol again..
“Think about the book you specifically want. The author of the book, the values it contains, or even part of its contents..”
“Ugh, why??”
“Jinryeo.”
“oh. You didn't ask me! I'll stay quiet.”
Kangseol scratched his chin and answered:.
“hmm… There is a phrase I remember.”
“oh! That's good. An impressive phrase or something... Any phrase that is uncommon is fine..”
Grinning.
Kang Seol rolled up the corner of his mouth and said this..
“Azran reports.”
Jinryeo, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head and looked at Snowfall..
“If it's Azran….”
and asked.
“It is not the name of the Grand Duke of Frost.?”
* * *
It was a long time ago, it was heavenly..
“Ma, the old gentleman of all people.….”
“lie! what! You were with me just now.!”
“It was divided into independent spaces. That's when we split up... Anyway, what an old gentleman of all people! oh my god?”
“Everyone, come here! Eltrick said he encountered an old gentleman of all kinds.!”
“oh my god!”
“where! where are you?”
I didn't know about the snowfall at that time, but when I think back, it was comical to see all the gods rushing in for the presence of the old gentleman of all things..
“It's right in front of you! No, so you’re right in front of Eltrick? anyway… Finally, my chance has come.!”
“The old gentleman of all things really appears.….”
“i envy you… Good luck too.”
“Eltrick was a horse blessed with good luck with dice. it's not fair….”
“anyway! Let’s leave the envy later and come up with a strategy first. They asked me if I had a favorite book. What should I say??”
“Didn't someone organize the options last time??”
“All you have to do is just follow the flow.?”
“uh… It will depend on the book you want.?”
The gods gathered together and discussed the book Eltrick would obtain. It's a strange sight that other gods are more excited than the person involved..
“There is a time limit to answer, what should I do?….”
“Choose wisely! They say the questions are different from time to time and the answers you want change accordingly.!”
“So that means the compensation will also change.!”
“So, what do you want??”
“That's right... Isn’t it the strongest book? Eltrick even has a talent for reading! The probability of gaining enlightenment from a book is very high.!”
“The strongest book? Where is that?!”
“okay… I'm sorry for seeming like I'm pouring cold water on an opportunity I've had, but you can't change the fundamentals of a horse with just one technical document..”
Even through the mask, I could feel that Eltrick's owner was frowning. He thought the other gods were jealous of him.
“no… Wizards can. Instead of the strongest teacher, you can learn from the strongest book.!”
“So what is this greatest book??”
“Look, there's a limit to how much you can become stronger just by reading. If he could learn all those insights from books, Eltrick would already be a great wizard. But… No, right? Your words are of ordinary quality..”
“Quiet, quiet! Everyone, stop being jealous and jealous.….”
“Someone said they were jealous! It's really funny... Even if I help you, they say something... We're going to be fighting among ourselves about something that we don't even know is the best book.?”
Conversations that only hurt feelings.
The owner of Eltrick thought for a moment and then said this:.
“No, there is… If it's a book left by the strongest wizard, what else would it be but the strongest book??”
“…that.”
“yes? snowman?”
Swish…
Swish…
The eyes of the gods turned to Snowfall, which was far away..
Kang Seol responded with an awkward smile..
“wrong… Maybe not words.”
“yes! Your words! The founder of the Zodiac! yes? You left enlightenment before attempting ascension. Somewhere in Pandea!”
“I left it. To the library of all things.”
The gods were the flagship.
I left that book at the Mansang Library..
The book would not have been burned or lost if someone had not taken it first..
“Mansang Library!”
“Look! Am I right? He left the book in the Mansang Library, which can be accessed from anywhere, in order to pass it on to the next horse..”
“That wasn't my intention... hmm….”
With eyes shining with greed, Eltrick's owner shot a snowfall..
“If you get it, Eltrick can become like the Frost Duke.!”
“excuse me… Look, I know you're greedy, but... That's Snowman's stuff. It's not yours.”
“Among the items left behind in Mansang's library, where are yours and mine? The owner has already failed to ascend to heaven, and the legacy left behind is something floating around the world, so what! Do you need permission? Okay, so all you have to do is get permission from the owner of the item, Snowman, right? I can go for that book in the universal library, Snowman.?”
It's something that has already left your hands..
The owner was not determined.
There was nothing wrong with what Eltrick's owner said. Also, Kang Seol didn’t really have any regrets about that item..
But that didn't mean I could hand it over..
“Sure. but….”
“but? I don't think I'm going to refuse it?”
“no, that's not it….”
“speak quickly!”
“Can Eltrick recall even part of the contents of that book??”
“…That, uh….”
The gods heard Kang Seol's words and began to murmur as if they had remembered something..
“Yes, that's right! In the end, the old gentleman would only find the book if the horse knew at least part of its existence and contents.?”
“Well, that’s… . Snowman! You can tell me.”
“Me to Eltrick? how?”
“uh… hmm… this….”
snowfall in the past.
A snowman wearing a snowman mask said this to Eltrick's owner:.
“I wonder if I could tell you the contents of Azran's book... . There's nothing I can say to get my book from the old gentleman of all places..”
* * *
Looking back, it seems like words have become seeds..
- I wonder if I could tell you the contents of Azran's book.….
Snowfall reminisced about the past and the memories were scattered like smoke..
The old gentleman's questions continued..
The old gentleman kept asking me what I liked about the book, its other contents and topics, and it was only after about 10 minutes of questioning that I stopped asking questions..
“ah! Follow me here for a moment..”
“About me?”
“The ladies there too.”
“really… Even if you don't call me that….”
“Okay.”
“If it's comfortable for you, there's nothing you can do..”
An old gentleman going his own way with strides.
Also, I don't know where the ladder came from, but there was even a wooden ladder prepared..
The old gentleman standing between the bookshelves grinned..
“Because I can't reach it with my height. Could you please take out the book up there??”
“of course.”
“Please.”
While Snowfall was climbing up the wooden ladder, Jinryeo asked:.
“Should I just stay there??”
“no, look to the left.”
“To the left... uh?”
While Jinryeo turned her head to the left and checked the bookshelf, Kangseol was on the ladder looking for a book at the location indicated by the old gentleman..
“What book can I bring you??”
“…….”
“Elderly?”
“I… Kangseol.”
When Kang Seol turned around and looked down, he saw Jin Ryeo trembling..
“The old man… It disappeared?”
“…….”
“And give me this….”
I didn't know what kind of book it was in Jinryeo's hand, but looking at her surprised face, I thought it was definitely not an ordinary book..
‘The old gentleman of all things was activated by Jinryeo. then….’
Snowfall quickly scanned the bookshelf..
And, I soon discovered a book that stood out from the rest..
A book with a black leather cover and no title written on it..
Phew…
Snowfall sighed..
This wasn't the book he wanted.
‘What did you expect... But what kind of book is this??’
gone…
Snowfall opened the book without coming down from the ladder..
“hmm?”
“why?”
“…no.”
There was no information written in the front of the book..
Feeling something strange, he quickly reached the last page of the book..
Saralarak…
There was something written at the end of the book..
‘8 - grave - 901.’
Kangseol opened his eyes wide..
And I checked the bookshelf where the book was taken out..
3 - grave - 153.
The number at the beginning indicates the stairs, ㅁ is the first letter of the title, and the number at the end seems to indicate the location of the bookshelf..
‘no way… Are you saying the book is on the 8th floor??’
[Amazing discovery! I meet an old gentleman of all kinds..]
[The old gentleman of all ages presents a book to you..]
Looking at the message, the old gentleman of all things was clearly activated..
However, it seemed that the value of the book that Kang Seol wanted far exceeded the level that could be obtained on the third floor..
‘If this happens….’
A yaksha was a yaksha, but since I knew that there was a treasure sleeping in the library of all things, I couldn't miss it either..
‘…8I have to go up to the floor..’
Perhaps a book containing the thoughts of Prince Azran, Prince of Frost, was left there..
“Jinryeo.”
“…….”
“Jinryeo?”
“ah… iced coffee! yes!”
“Did you get what you wanted??”
A smile appeared on Jinryeo’s face..
“yes!”
“Then let's go upstairs. I think I got everything I got here..”
“great!”
Jinryeo smiled brightly and held on to Kangseol's ladder..
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
The two of them walking towards the door through which light leaks..
Wow!…
The next flight of stairs greeted them..
There was a sign at the entrance.
“sign… there is! There is this time!”
“…And there's something else too.”
“…yes? uh? Huh? That's it….”
Geek…
Geek…
A huge soldier was destroying a bookshelf in the very center of the library..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaang!
Kang Seol and Jin Ryeo looked at each other and wondered what was going on..
At that time, I heard a voice from somewhere..
“hey! Hey guys!”
“John! Lower your voice. The giant soldier hears.”
“Then how should I call you??”
“that… hmm? That young man… I feel like I've seen this before somewhere..”
“Where can I see the view? First time seeing it at Mansang Library… what?”
A voice I've heard before.
“Frannan? You're that one-eyed scale guy's disciple.!”
“Really. I never thought we'd meet in a place like this.”
Kang Seol nodded and asked..
“Message… sheep?”
“It's Jaune and Santio! Luckily he recognizes our faces, yeah!”
Suddenly, on the 4th floor of the Mansang Library, we meet Jone, the lord of the Scorpio Magic Tower, and Santio, the lord of the Aries Magic Tower..
There's even a giant soldier smashing through one floor of the library..
When Snowfall looked at John with suspicion, he hurriedly said:.
“I'm not a ghost!”
then.
Kang Seol decided that the only thing that could explain this whole situation was the sign in front of him..
“…this.”
Kangseol frowned as he read the sign..
