31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 415)
Adventure 34-(Special) 'Star's End’
federal city of shurlen.
Here, a very special relic is alive and breathing in the city..
These ruins, which must have been built by ancient dwarves, were made using much more advanced technology than today..
The magic, incantations, and institutional knowledge that lie here make every scholar's heart flutter..
However, only once every few years.
This ruin becomes a playground for nobles who hide their identities..
Today was one of those days too..
Until Star's End started to react strangely..
This old ruin has just woken up and stretched out..
And I want blood.
Of course, survival is the most important goal..
Goal: Survive or break through Star's End until it reopens..
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
One thing to point out.
This was the part about whether this adventure was really dangerous..
‘…I don't know.’
The correct answer is probably closer to unknown..
The criteria for difficulty depends on the player's level. It had absolutely nothing to do with the level of the player..
In other words, at Snowfall level, this adventure is very dangerous..
However, considering that Snowfall is a power that cannot be compared to the same level, it would be appropriate to say that the difficulty level of this adventure is unknown..
‘Judging by the energy I feel... It doesn't seem easy.’
The special energy of the ruins disturbed the senses of the snowfall..
The evil beast that was targeting him was insignificant, but the secret of Star's End was real..
“Did they come apart?….”
It is unclear how many pieces the visitors here were torn to pieces..
In addition, the tremors seemed to have been felt not only in the area where the auction was held, but also in nearby areas, so they must have been caught up as well..
Kang Seol asked Han So-mi.
“The possibility of salvation coming?”
“no. The Investigation Bureau will probably come, but Star's End is a place that cannot be damaged. Both legally and physically..”
Their gazes turned to different directions. I felt popular.
“Ugh… Are you okay? Marijuu!”
“I'm fine….”
“this! Are your knees bleeding?!”
“…Lord Zalb, since you're human, you bleed..”
“Such disrespect! It's because I wasn't there to help her properly! Quickly take my head….”
A noisy knight and a noble lady were caught up together..
“…huh?”
When the masked woman named Mariju saw the blood on Kang Seol's hand and the hole in the chest of the woman who had attacked him, she waved her hand and hurriedly pushed back her buttocks that had hit the floor..
“Me, that person….”
“this… Is it a pleural effusion??”
sreung…
Jalb drew his sword and held it forward. If you did anything suspicious, I was ready to swing that sharp sword at you..
It was Han So-mi who stopped him..
“It's the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We're just caught up in it too..”
“how can i believe that?”
Sigh…
When I showed him the investigator's seal, Jalb holstered his sword..
“Excuse me. Because the situation is so serious,.”
“In situations like this, impatience leads to big mistakes. Lord Zalb? I said?”
“That's right. You are?”
“I'm Han Somi.”
“Mira Han. Remember that.”
Jalb seemed to be on the precocious side..
He didn't seem that old compared to his tone..
Marijue jumped up, dusted off her dress, and asked..
“Until last night, I never dreamed that I would face a situation like this dressed like this..”
Unlike his appearance, which was adorned with jewels, he had a quite easy-going appearance..
patter…
patter…
Mariju throwing pearl necklaces and jewel bracelets to the ground..
“Marijuu? There is no need to do that….”
“It hinders my ability to move..”
“hmm….”
Snowfall looked around and checked the situation..
Mariju came up and asked.
“So, how do you see it??”
“What do you mean?”
“I honestly don’t wonder who did it… How to get out is more important..”
They were trapped in a square space. A stuffy space where you can’t even feel the wind. If I sit still here, I will die from lack of breath..
“There's no door.”
“That's right.”
That was right then..
Kugugoogung Palace…
“Marijuu!”
“Uh... Don't make a fuss, Lord Jalb..”
“Sorry, sorry. The ruins are shaking….”
“Wait, what's on the ceiling?….”
What brightened the black darkness were the letters on the ceiling created by dots shining like stars..
Everyone closed their mouths and stared endlessly at the letters written on the ceiling..
“Ho... That's interesting. As expected, this place is the ruins of a dwarf..”
“yes? how do you know that?”
Han So-mi asked in surprise at Marijuu’s words..
“Those letters are the letters of the ancient dwarves..”
“yes? Really?”
“You can trust me. Although he looks like an empty-headed nobleman, he actually came here because he was more interested in ruins than in auctions..”
“Marijuu is already a great archaeologist. He'll probably decipher those letters in the blink of an eye and lead us outside..”
“…Well, isn't that too irresponsible? And you can't decipher it that fast..”
Deciphering the ancient dwarf's writing was not that simple. Although it was a short sentence, it would have taken a long time if it had words that were difficult to interpret..
“Just wait and see. where….”
“Some dwarves escaped from the old mountain. What you hold in your hand is incomprehensible.).”
“…yes?”
A sentence that Kangseol naturally uttered. Everyone in her group, including Marie Ju, was surprised..
“Brother, I was able to interpret it.?”
“…I know?”
Something similar to this happened to Kang Seol in the past..
〔Forget with Alkatron, Ur.〕
The phrase that sealed Ur again in Alkatron. It was Snowfall who read the phrase that Ur said he would never be able to read..
And now, phrases believed to be in the language of the ancient dwarves were clearly flowing from his mouth..
“What does it mean??”
When Snowfall tilted her head, the surroundings vibrated..
Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
“Is it because you read the sentence??”
“No, I don't think so..”
Wood clatter…
A stone statue rose from the floor..
A pirate statue carrying a monkey on its shoulder.
Warrior stone statue wielding a large axe.
A stone statue of a wizard with blazing flames wrapped around his staff..
Finally, a giant troll statue blocking their path..
The club he held in his hand was quite brutal..
“this… What is this?”
“for a moment! pattern on the floor….”
Marijue checked the pattern that had appeared on the floor..
The archaic pattern engraved on the floor seemed to symbolize something..
“I don't think it's necessary to erect a statue on top of this symbol.?”
“…surely.”
At that very moment, a choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[It seems like an unknown ordeal has come. The floor is full of unknown patterns, and stone statues of unknown meaning just stand blankly. What should I do?]
1. Move the warrior statue to the right front line..
2. Move the warrior statue to the left line..
3. Move the warrior statue to the rear right row..
4. Move the warrior statue to the left rear row..
……
The statue itself can be moved.
“I get it! Move the dwarf to defeat that troll.!”
“Yeah, I think so..”
“Oh oh! That certainly makes sense. then how….”
While they were wondering how to overcome this ordeal, they heard a sound from behind..
“I… Marijuu?”
“Lord Jalb, why are you doing this??”
“Take a look here..”
The heads of those who were talking turned quickly..
The round sphere in the hand of the wizard stone statue glowed..
“This has been shining ever since.….”
snowfall asked him.
“Have you ever touched that sphere??”
“Oh, you touched me!”
Jalb swallowed his saliva..
“actually… I just touched it.”
“Oh my gosh, back off..”
Kugugoogung Palace…
“What?”
The stone statues began to move. No, there was a crack in the statue, and soon the skin color changed to the same as that of a human being..
“no!”
The reason why Snowfall shouted was because the changes that happened to the dwarf statues also happened to the troll statues..
The statues have not been moved yet..
A dwarf wizard stood right in front of the troll..
Grumbling…
A terrible tragedy occurred even before the fire could be lit..
Kwaaaaang-!
Wizard flying away crushed.
The warriors and pirates shouted and rushed at the troll, but their swords were unable to cut through the troll..
Kwazisig…
In the end, they were all destroyed by trolls and reduced to pieces..
Pussssss…
The broken things returned to stone. And as if as if it had never happened, it returned to its original place and became a stone statue..
“look at that!”
stars lined up on the ceiling.
5One of the stars has lost its light.
“Are you saying there are five chances??”
“no… I think there was. I think there are only four left now..”
“this… Jalb!”
“Sorry! I was trying to check what would happen if it exploded.….”
“Ugh… are you okay. Thanks to you, I know how this ordeal works..”
While they were talking, only snowfall was silent..
“Why are you saying that??”
“…Did you notice anything strange??”
“strange thing? Jalb made a mistake, but such a strange person….”
“sorry! Sorry, everyone.!”
“Oh, that's not it... I'm talking about the people around me..”
Jiang Xue's words attracted everyone's attention..
“around?”
“brother! What did you see in that moment??”
“fire.”
“I saw the fire too….”
“I need a fire.”
When he said that with a serious expression, Marijue smiled and said.
“As long as it's fire.”
Grumbling…
A fireball floated in Marijuu’s hand. As expected, she was a wizard.
“But what about fire?….”
“oh! The surroundings….”
“…….”
The entire square space was transparent. No, rather than being transparent, it reflected the shape like a mirror..
“…It wasn't a mistake after all..”
“yes?”
Kang Seol said to Han So-mi.
“Somi, you can track her?”
Han So-mi was a hunter.
There was an issue with astigmatism, but that fact wasn't that important right now..
“yes… But why?”
“Look over there.”
The wall pointed to by snowfall.
A troll statue was shining there..
“uh? It's different from that statue.?”
“The standing position and size are different..”
“Tue, I'll check it out..”
Bleep…
Han So-mi blew a small whistle, and immediately something appeared..
“Standing, stone statue!”
“There was one more! oh my god! There, there!”
Close to the back row, a troll was standing, holding a dagger similar to a kitchen knife. Judging by its size, it did not seem to be fully grown..
“…At least you shouldn't place a wizard in the back row..”
Jalb shook his head and said.
Kugoong…
Snowfall pushed the stone statue and placed it on top of a different pattern..
The hidden troll turns to face the pirate..
In front of the big troll is a warrior.
And I had a wizard stand on the side..
“Now let's try it.”
“wait for a sec! You're in a hurry, Jalb.!”
“It's not urgent. There are still many opportunities, so let's try it out first..”
Kang Seol also agreed with that opinion..
nod…
“So, if you touch that sphere, it works.?”
“yes. I need you to check.”
Wow!…
As soon as the snowfall touched the sphere in the wizard's hand, a mystical energy spread..
‘…It feels strange.’
That's how I felt when I first touched that sphere..
Soon, the battle of the stone statues began..
Kwasik!
The pirate's sword pierced the little troll's heart..
Teueoong-!
The warrior's ax struck the troll's club. The perfect gap created by this.
Grumbling…
A huge flame erupted from the wizard's wand..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Grumbling…
Cheeeeeeeee…
“it's okay! That's Okay!”
“It's a success!”
Han So-mi and Jalb are jumping up and down..
However, their expectations were shattered the moment Kang Seol's head tilted..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Sigh…
A troll who survived the fire swung a club and killed the wizard..
As expected, the dwarf party that lost the wizard like before was wiped out..
“…what is the problem?”
“Now it has been reduced to 3 stars..”
“…….”
Strangely enough, everyone was only looking at the snowfall..
“uh… I think I saw this scene somewhere.”
For a moment, Han So-mi remembered the moment she met Kang Seol with Kyung-taek Cho and Shin Mun-ho the other day. Even back then, she seemed to have relied on Kang Seol like this..
“By any chance, did you find out anything??”
Mariju asked, leaning close to Kangseol..
Snowfall muttered..
“…necklace.”
“A necklace? what is that….”
“During the battle, the troll's necklace glowed. To be exact, when it was engulfed in flames..”
Jalb shouted..
“Really! The troll has a strange necklace on it! I can just take this off.!”
Wow…
Crash…
The troll's necklace didn't come off..
It was obvious.
Because it's a stone.
sreung…
“Even if it breaks down like this….”
“Stop it, it may cause unwanted problems.”
“That's right, Jalb. Don't move carelessly.”
“Okay….”
Kang Seol was worried over and over again..
“The necklace has to be cut off during battle... who the hell….”
Soon, his steps reached somewhere.
The place where he stopped was in front of the pirate statue..
Without hesitation, Snowfall lifted the monkey statue clinging to the pirate's shoulder..
Surprisingly, it came off easily.
Grinning…
“…It was you.”
