31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 318)
Hehehehe…
How much time has passed and what happened? How far did the snow swept by the explosion drift?.
Dreaming… Blink…
Snowball opened his eyes, struggling to raise his heavy eyelids..
My mouth is full of something..
“Wow….”
snow and ice sculptures.
“…eye?”
Snowfall straightened her upper body and looked around..
What I touch is cold snow.
All I see is a snowy field.
The snowy field stretched endlessly beyond the horizon..
‘Is he dead??’
Snowfall that leaves you dazed for a moment.
‘No, that can't be possible..’
Although it was not possible to stop the explosion of the boundary stone, the force of it was not enough to cause death..
Of course, that was only possible because it was Kang-seol himself, and it did not apply to Chi-woo or Seol-hong..
‘Who is coming?.’
Sabak…
Sabak…
Someone approached me, stepping on the snow.
I expected that what I would encounter in this secluded snowy field would at most be wild beasts or demonic beasts, but to my surprise, it was people..
The first thing that caught my eye was his bright red nose and round eyes, and he was wearing protective glasses that looked like goggles..
“Hey, it's okay?”
Luckily it didn't seem like a robbery..
‘Where did it bounce from??’
It may not be possible, but if he was close to Khan, it might be possible to return to Seolhong quickly..
“Did I tell you? You didn't see it wrong.!”
“Sorry sorry. Still, isn't it weirder to believe that you can meet people in this snowy field??”
“that… That's right.”
A woman with blue eyes approached.
Likewise, my nose was bright red..
“Hey, but it's not cold.?”
“uh… yes.”
“It's amazing... Do you have high cold resistance? The secret is?”
“yes?”
“Oh, isn't it transference??”
The other person seemed to be a former person..
Since it wouldn't be a bad idea to reveal elements of kinship, Kang Seol revealed his true identity..
“This is transfer interest. It's snowing.”
“Ah, the name. The name must be… Are you Korean??”
“you are?”
“japan!”
Sigh…
Grinning.
A man who lowers his mask and smiles.
The beard that stuck to his chin like steam was impressive..
“Ishii! You can call me Ishii. eww… cold… My tongue is freezing.”
“Ishii….”
“I'm Yeva russia… I used to live in I'm going to ask you something.”
They were covered in thick fur clothes and were talking to each other..
“Ask me, quickly... Before it gets awkward….”
“No, that… you can't ask?”
They scratched their heads for a moment and then asked Kang Seol..
“that… We haven't had enough meals for a few days... Do you have anything to eat??”
Snowfall met a new relationship in a pure white snow field..
nod…
“Me, really? thank god!”
* * *
It wasn't difficult to distribute food. No, the easiest way to increase your cooking skill is to serve great food to hungry people, so it would be nice to cook it yourself..
“If you go straight this way, you'll find an outpost..”
“How far is it in terms of distance??”
“hmm… I don't know that much. It's rare for us to come to the place where we found you. Talk more easily than that.”
“Okay, Ishii. however… An outpost??”
When Kangseol asked, Yeba scolded Ishii..
“Don't call it an outpost, just in case you expect something decent..”
“is it? excuse me… If you go that way, you'll find a trashy cave where you can avoid your eyes. There are a lot of bugs, so if you get upset, please tell me first..”
Former Ishii and Yeba.
Where on earth are these people and snowfall?.
When I looked at the snowy field, there was one place that came to mind.…
‘It must be north.’
Probably further north than Cannes.
Just considering the distance traveled made me sigh..
“By the way, where is this place??”
“You came here without even knowing where it was? Did it just metastasize??”
“No, the metastasis happened a long time ago..”
“Umm… Me again. here is….”
“Let's go to the outpost and talk. no….”
“Not an outpost. garbage dump.”
“okay. Anyway, let’s go to the garbage dump and take a rest and talk. If I open my mouth right now, it feels like cold air is coming in and my organs are freezing. But there is really something worth eating.?”
nod…
As Snowfall nodded, Ishii grabbed his stomach..
“Haaa… thank god. I was worried because supplies were cut off and I couldn't catch anything worth hunting..”
“something to eat?”
“The monsters here have a very strong fishy smell. uh… How should I explain it??”
“I feel like I'll pass out just by smelling it. I tried to put it in my mouth, but it felt like stuffing Ishii's socks, so I immediately poured it all out..”
“hey! My feet don't smell!”
“Anyway, I went.”
I'm starting to become more and more convinced that this is the North. The North is notorious for being harsh, and if you end up here in the early stages of training a horse, you will have really difficult days..
After walking for a long time, the group finally arrived at the outpost, or more commonly known as the garbage dump..
“…….”
“See, I said you'd be disappointed.?”
“There really is nothing.”
Artificial windshield to block cold wind.
When I went inside, all I could see was a flimsy bed and traces of a fire..
Ishii and Yeba took off their masks..
They both had handsome features..
Ishii had curly hair that was just before reaching his shoulders, and Yeba had hair that went just over her shoulders..
mulberry…
Yeva took the bottle she had left at the bedside and opened it..
“I want to drink?”
“alcohol?”
“Oh, it's cold, right? This is the best for honest conversation.”
“I'm okay.”
In the first place, Snow Snow didn't feel very cold right now..
This was a snowfall that rivaled even Branca, the anglerfish of ancient glaciers, so this level of cold was nothing..
“Unless you want to drink something.”
Yeba shrugged and took a gulp from the bottle, and Ishii did the same..
“Ugh….”
“Ugh… good night.”
Ishii asked, scratching his beard..
“uh… Hey, I asked where this place was.?”
“Hi!….”
“Hey, go away.”
When Yeba hiccuped, Ishii fought her off..
“Yeva has a bad habit of drinking, so getting drunk like that and falling asleep would be helpful. It's hard to bear the cold at night.”
“hmm….”
“First of all, let’s finish what we were talking about earlier. how did you end up here?”
“I don't even know where this is….”
“…hygeltongue.”
Snowfall's eyes sparkled.
“It's called Hygeltongue.?”
And I tilted my head.
‘I don't think there are many parts that match the topography of Hygeltongue.….’
As expected, Ishii smiled and continued the story..
“…It's a federal outpost close by..”
“You belong to the Northern Federation.?”
“Oh, you know the Union? Did it spread this way??”
“That's not it... I heard a rumor.”
As predicted, this was the north..
‘You scolded me… The distance from Khan must be enormous..’
Well, you just have to go back at any time. Still, she hasn't regained her oil painting, so it was right for her to head back to her compartment..
‘by the way… Did the Federation expand its influence to the vicinity of Hugeltongue??’
To be exact, it may be the result of only extending the border while leaving the infrastructure as is, but whatever..
There is a federation in the northern part of Pandea..
Several countries united into one community, and according to information obtained, they quickly absorbed the transferors and increased their power..
Perhaps Ishii and Yeba were also part of the group that was absorbed into the force..
“It will be easier to talk if you know about the Federation. I know who lives in Hygeltongue?”
“…ice mole and troll.”
“oh! I know. But ice mole is just another name, here it is called Emon..”
“Emon….”
“Yes, Eemon, whose power is growing rapidly, and the fallen Glaciergaw live in Hygeltongue..”
“So are you the federal watchdog watching out for them??”
Yeva, who had been dozing off drunk for a while, suddenly got up and answered..
“That's it! This is Yanbbang’s Diandiando.….”
“…….”
Ishii, who was looking at Yeba with his tongue twisted with an expressionless face, applied an unusual energy..
Shhhh…
The strong smell of alcohol passed my nose for a moment..
‘This power... divine power?’
When Kangseol looked at Ishii's hand for a moment, Ishii burst out laughing..
“Oh, there's nothing like a hangover.”
Yeva frowned..
“hey! I told you not to waste your precious drink on your own.!”
“Then don't drink alcohol or anything..”
“…Did I stutter by any chance? How many words did you say??”
“huh. one word.”
“Well done then….”
She came over, flopped down, and said:.
“What have you got to hide? The quote comes out exactly, so what? That's right, we are Emon and Glaciermaw. The federal government is on alert for their activities. It's our job to keep an eye on them as they gather in Hygeltongue..”
“Hey, I'm sorry for what I said... Could it be okay if we eat first and talk??”
“ah… okay. we were kinda starving….”
“Is supply delayed??”
“They usually send it quickly, but they said they were attacked on the way there. The escort team also took a big hit... First of all, I received wild orders to survive on my own..”
Snowfall pointed to the freeze-dried animal flesh on one side..
“…But, that?”
Freeze-dried thigh meat was visible..
“Yangusni's meat. That guy happened to be caught on a hunt not long ago..”
“I can't eat it?”
“I want to smell it?”
“Hey, what if I throw up?….”
“Well, it’s better to experience it yourself..”
Snowfall followed their suggestion and put her nose to Yangusuni's meat..
There was strength between my eyebrows.
“How about it, it's awesome?”
“It's meat, right? It's not rotten.?”
“They call it a bad smell, not a pleasant smell, hahaha!”
“Okay, I'll make something delicious out of that..”
“ha ha ha! … … what?”
“…You're kidding me?”
“Watch.”
Snowfall opened the winter curtain for ventilation and welcomed the cold wind..
Chick… Chic…
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
Soon, a blazing bonfire.
“Hey… It catches fire easily?”
“What is that?”
Snowfall's cooking utensils were basically of the great category. Fire-making tools were also always of the best quality..
He quickly made cooking utensils to fix on the campfire and cut the Yangusuni meat we saw earlier into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board..
Dadadada…
“The knife is good?”
Kangseol smiled and spread the seasoning she had prepared on Yangusuni's meat..
Originally, it would have been aged, but due to the unique smell, it was immediately thrown into the pot..
Cheeeeee…
“Ugh… it smells….”
My rotten self was shaking.
Snowfall was frying meat and throwing in a lot of ingredients to control the smell..
Some of them were classified as poisonous plants..
Cheeeeee…
“uh? a little better….”
Grumbling!
When special alcohol that had been purified in advance was added to Hwaryongjeongjeong, the foul smell flew away along with the flames..
Cheeeeee…
It even seemed to smell good now..
The subsequent cooking process simply involves scooping up snow from outside and boiling meat and vegetables with it..
Bubbly…
As an unbearable smell emanated from the pot, saliva flowed from Ishii and Yeba's mouths..
“Isn't it ripe? urg… Is it ripe? Ripe! It's ripe!”
“sympathy! I agree! I deeply appreciate Russia’s opinion.!”
“Japan also agreed! hurry!”
[The dish is ready.]
[Yangusuni Jjaggeuli is completed..]
[It's overflowing with flavor. The dish was a success.]
[This is a new recipe that has never been seen before..]
[Get inspired for polar recipes.]
[inspiration awakens.]
[Recipes seem to come to mind when I encounter new ingredients..]
[My cooking skills have improved significantly..]
rattle…
meal divided into bowls.
“Is it Korean style??”
“Try it.”
“I'm not good at eating spicy food.….”
Yeva ate, tucking her hair past her ears..
“…Russia, sleep here. The Kremlin palace flashes before my eyes..”
“and… The stink is all gone. How can this happen?….”
[Your cooking skills increase further..]
“Wow….”
“Ugh… good.”
- For some reason, both of them reacted a bit haha.
- It's Korean.?
When Kangseol asked about this, Ishii and Yeba said.
“Oh, there was a Korean guy I hung out with before I came here. Although I was transferred to another location and was left behind. I imitated the way he ate to tease me, but it became a habit..”
“What about the federation??”
“Can't you tell when you see it? Throw them away in a foreign place and try to survive on your own... I miss the Earth a little.”
“cancer… cancer… We realized too late the importance of the global village. We were all one family….”
“…Still, I don’t want to live with Ishii. Ishii, your breath smells so bad this morning..”
“Yeva's farting was so loud that the Emons in Hygeltongue dug their heads in the ground, thinking it was an earthquake..”
“hey! kill!”
“Who did it first??”
Eating well and fighting must be common to all countries..
Now that they had some free time, they patted their bellies and said,.
“ah… ate too much.”
“I feel sleepy. Thank you, Snowfall. But I barely heard anything about you?”
Snowfall answered Ishii's question before looking at the rewards she had obtained before the transfer..
“I'm from the East.”
“…where?”
“Cannes.”
“Hey… I had no idea! If so, did you see that??”
“what?”
“Yacha Daejeon. I heard that Khan was shaking because of a fearsome monster. That's true?”
“…….”
Kang Seol was speechless..
My heart started tingling again..
“huh… maybe.”
“That's amazing. I heard a lot of people died? … But half a year has passed so I guess it's okay now..”
Snowfall’s expression hardened..
“…what?”
“huh? what?”
“What did you just say….”
“A lot of people died?”
“no….”
“I said it's been half a year?”
“huh.”
“That’s right, the Yacha War was half a year ago, right? is not it? Was it 7 months ago??”
Battle with Yasha.
After that, Snowfall was asleep for over half a year..
[The long journey was not completed.]
[An unexpected adventure ‘Where Blood Freezes’ occurs.]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
