31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 346)
Jamard and Tantuinu destroyed the gate at super speed while Snowfall was buying items at the madness store and listening to Dejigi's request..
No, the expression “defeat” was not correct..
As Kang Seol said, I did nothing and just found the gate and passed through..
- In the underground garden, you can't get anything without putting in any effort. Instead, if you don't commit harm, you won't be bothered at all..
To the first, second, and third gateways.
I met all the managers in each region, including the manager, but I did not have in-depth conversations with them..
I just asked where to head to the next area..
“…Here it is.”
“here… old hollow?”
There were traces of a broken tree so huge that it was hard to even notice..
It was now empty, with only the tree bark remaining, but just looking at the size of the tree bark, which was nothing more than debris, was so enormous that it was overwhelming..
Is there anyone who knows why this tree broke and why it is hollow?.
‘No, you might know if it's snowing….’
The person closest to the world’s secrets is Snowfall. And it was Jamard who had read his memories..
Jamard thought that if it was snowfall, he might know all the secrets hidden in the underground garden..
“That's amazing... this… On this scale….”
Tantuinu was mesmerized by the wondrous scenery hidden in the underground garden..
It feels like you're in Pandea's secret garden..
“…Don't go in.”
This is what all the managers I have encountered so far have said..
- By the way, I made a promise to the sleepyhead man.?
- It must be hard to meet a sleepyhead because he sleeps a lot.….
- Do you need a seal??
They were talking about unknown things.
Jamard ignored it, thinking that the snowfall would take care of it anyway..
“Let's go together, I think it's this way..”
The hollow had a path along the wall like a circular staircase..
It's also quite dangerous, so it feels like if you accidentally lose your footing, you'll fall to the bottom of that dark abyss..
Because the road was narrow, Tantuinu walked behind Jamaard..
Jamard didn't say much on the way here..
“…Do you believe in snowfall??”
“what?”
“Aren't you worried? Aren't you worried??”
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
“…….”
“We now have to wait here for the dragon. Along with the snowfall that we are not sure if it will come..”
“the guy is coming.”
Tantuinu's eyes wavered..
“Why do you trust humans so much? Haven't trolls and humans been enemies for a long time??”
“I don’t know, what is there to know about trite history? Snowfall is my brother and is always correct..”
“That's too much faith..”
“Trusting someone you can trust is not blind faith or shallow, unreasonable faith. It's called trust..”
“…Why did your mother entrust your future to you?.”
“What do you know? The work has already begun. Thanks to you, I am being chased by a dragon, so I just have to find a way.….”
“…….”
“I can barely see the floor.”
Tantuinu’s gaze returned to Jamad’s words. As Jamard said, we have almost reached the bottom of the abyss..
And this was the place where Snowfall was waiting, ready for her best attack..
Only after Tantuinu reached the bottom of the pit did he vaguely understand Snowfall's intentions..
“What Kangseol said was right, this is definitely the place... There will be no place to escape.”
“…….”
Sigh…
Jamard sat down on the floor and closed his eyes..
Whioooooooo…
Jamad quickly gathers a huge amount of magical power. Tantuinu, who was watching Jamad, asked:.
“…Do you think you can successfully attack Ajanic??”
“I do not know.”
“Then why take this gamble?….”
“He said snowfall was possible. So be quiet. You are the loudest dragon I have ever seen, you are.”
Tantuinu was silent for a moment, then went to Jamad's side and placed both hands on his back..
“…What are you doing??”
“Your mother's energy is floating around inside you without being absorbed. Surely if you make that magnificent power yours... There might be a slight chance of winning.”
“…joy.”
Whioooooooooooo…
Jamard made a promise after checking Tancred's rampaging energy..
‘certainly… Definitely break the wall here.’
After a few hours, the dragon will come here.
That's when it's time to win.
Shut your mouth and gather your strength.
Tancred's words and her traces disturbed my mind..
‘Your revenge, Tancred. Please give me strength.’
The energy of the earth, which had been acting violently, began to come together firmly..
* * *
“thank you! It was a good deal! Now, let me give you a token of my favor..”
Cheeeeee…
A round seal was engraved on the back of the hand..
Inside, a picture depicting a field was drawn skewed to the left..
[Obtain the Seal of the Lifter.]
[A sleepyhead may meet you.]
‘Even the seal… done!’
If the deadly poisons that were planned to be collected step by step were the means of attack, the seal of the lifter was an important means of shaking off Ajanic's pursuit..
In the underground garden, Snowfall was to gather together the mysterious poisonous plants and the seals of the administrators..
‘Since we have secured the blinker flower and the seal, there is no reason to remain here any longer..’
time is running out.
After remembering that Ajanik was waiting for the ruins' gate to open again, Snow said goodbye to Djigi..
“huh! If you go there, you'll find a big cave! If you go there, it leads to the forest.!”
“thank you, bye.”
“See you later!”
See you next time.
Snowfall said those words were new to me..
His horse, that is, 'Charlie', one of the strongest horses chosen by Kang Seol, was the horse he hated the most when he went on a lore adventure here..
Because I never wanted to come back to this damn underground garden. It was an errand that crossed the continent, so it was a long way to go..
So, after inventing a few more seasons with my lore adventures, I completely stopped visiting the underground garden..
I thought I'd never, really, never come here again..
‘Don't you know what people do?….’
Kangseol chuckled as he watched the back of the departing carrier..
It was clear that my experience here would be of great help in my future work, so I had to prepare thoroughly and not get caught up in unnecessary emotions..
After a while, he arrived in front of a large cave..
Kang Seol took out the map in her head and remembered how this road would lead..
The underground garden had a linear structure, unlike typical ruins..
In other words, if you just go forward, you can reach the deep end. If so, the question may arise whether it is at a disadvantage in the chase..
It was a reasonable question..
If you can catch up just by following the path, you will be killed by Ajanic..
The gateway we are looking at right now was the one that could prevent such a situation..
1Gateway, Gate 2, Gate 3.
Each field, forest, swamp, and even an old hollow.
This gateway connecting areas was in the shape of a cave and had a ceiling high enough for large animals and monsters to enter and exit..
‘Even immortals have passed by here before.….’
The scale of the gate was so large that even a gigantic monster named immortal, which was somewhat overrated, could pass through it..
However, the gateway is just a gateway, and it would be difficult for a being like Ajanic to exert special resistance..
Unless you come up with some trick.
‘Originally, I would have used managers.….’
By using managers, it was possible to manipulate even the gateway. However, since these are expensive and time consuming, a different method had to be used..
He took out the steel silver grass seeds he had purchased in bulk from his pocket and began scattering them..
‘Is this enough??’
Steel silver grass was a very dangerous plant..
Its strength was comparable to that of a steel sword, and it even had the property of becoming hard when exposed to fire..
It was a poor material because it lost its rare properties when broken, but in the current situation,….
‘Perfect for barricades.’
By nature, silver grass grows at an incredible rate. Snowfall that scatters improved vitality powder that can strengthen the growth of steel silver grass..
Then, the seed began to grow furiously, digging into the cave floor..
Uddukdukdukduk-!
[We cultivated a wonderful field of steel silver grass..]
[Unexpected talent! Learn about farming 1.]
[The crops you gather have certain effects..]
[Involved in plant growth.]
The cave was instantly filled with steel silver grass..
‘next….’
I finely ground the blinker petals I had just obtained, placed them together with the seeds of Pungpungi, and sprinkled some vitality powder on them..
Ujijijijik-!
A large gourd-like pungpong quickly grew and hid in a crevice of silver grass..
It was a plant that exploded at the slightest impact, scattering the spores inside..
And surprisingly, the flexibility of growth was excellent, so when powdered plants with effective, either poisonous or medicinal properties were used as fertilizer, the seeds even had the effect of absorbing the properties..
In other words, when that big pop pops, the poison of the blinking flower immediately spreads everywhere..
‘For now, this much.’
The snowfall that blocked the first passage headed straight to the next area..
When I came out of the cave, the forest spread out..
Snowfall impressed me with the sight of all kinds of birds flying over the trees..
The forest was full of bad memories..
“hi! I am a forest keeper!”
A forest keeper resembling a parrot walked forward and welcomed the snowfall..
“Welcome to the forest, human.!”
“Ah, yes.”
For reference, the forest keeper was the most talkative of the managers..
“Let me tell you a secret: you'd better be quiet in Sleepy's territory. Kukkukkuk….”
“…….”
“Are you curious about any other secrets? huh? curious?”
[The talkative forest keeper asks if you have any questions. do you have any questions for him?]
1. How was this forest made??
2. What forces are at work in the underground garden??
3. where is the exit?
4. Who is the sleepyhead? What should I do to see a sleepyhead??
……
“I want to meet a sleepyhead, is it possible??”
“Oh, you can tell me about that. Actually, it's no big deal. Sleepyheads really like us.”
“we?”
“Administrators! Because he takes care of the sleepyhead’s garden while he sleeps! So, just show us well.!”
Kang Seol quickly asked a related question before the next option came to mind..
“What should I do to look good to you??”
“uh… Me, me? To look good to me?”
“huh.”
“Well, well, then… All you have to do is do me a favor.!”
“Okay, if you have a favor to ask me, I will do it..”
“Really? Then my request is….”
Right here.
Snowfall was also the most important part of attacking Ajanic..
The forest keeper always made arbitrary requests. Sometimes he asked me to hunt a huge wild boar that was destroying the forest ecosystem, and other times he asked me to chase away a water snake lurking at the bottom of a shallow lake..
If you handle this kind of work on his behalf, you will be rewarded with a seal..
The reward is the poison of the being that was his bane..
This is why Kang Seol is nervous..
‘There's no time to ask a favor twice.’
Which poison will be completed in the end will depend on the requests received now..
In the worst case, if the poison was completely formed and could not cause any harm to Azanic, he would have to just run away..
‘Eradicating giant bees would be appropriate. giant bee….’
Snowfall stared at the shape of the parrot's beak and waited to see what kind of request would come out of his mouth..
“Umm… I have a lot of concerns. What should I ask for? Lizards are polar and mosquito swarms are also a concern. And what about the birds that rot the fruit?!”
“……punishment.”
“huh? What did you say? Anyway, I think the forest has the most things to do. I'm so busy working every day that I can't even rest properly... When the sleepyhead wakes up, I have to ask him to change it. you think so too?”
“…punishment.”
“huh? punishment? Punishment?”
“…no.”
The forest keeper nodded, then his eyes widened..
“that's right! punishment! I guess I'll have to ask for that.!”
“If that's the case….”
“punishment! Giant bee! Someone helped me in the past, but it quickly prospered again, right? It's hard because I can't get close to the area..”
Snowfall’s expression suddenly brightened..
“this! What a big deal! If you don't get rid of the giant bees quickly, they'll only get bigger! Giant bees keep getting bigger as they get older, and the sound of their wings is enough to scare you.!”
“that's right! uh… Well, why do you know so much about it??”
When the forest keeper cringed and asked, Kang Seol grinned..
“Leave it to me, Giant Bee. Because I prepared properly this time.”
“…this time?”
“…anyway.”
