31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 416)
The monkey statue was easily taken off by Kang Seol's hands. It seemed like a statue that was treated individually in the first place because it was clean and had no broken parts..
“Where should I put that monkey??”
“If you put it anywhere, it will be trampled to death.….”
Snowfall approached the back of a troll holding a club..
“Marijuu, this way..”
“ah! yes!”
Grumbling…
As soon as the flame was brought close to the troll's back, a change occurred..
Cheeeeee…
A pattern similar to the pattern carved on the floor was engraved on the back of the statue..
“A monkey... Here….”
chin…
The monkey statue stuck to the troll's back without much trouble. marijou said.
“Lord Jalb.”
“All right!”
Sigh…
When Jalb touched the round ball, the light from before came out..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Falling in love…
the fight has begun.
Puji profit…
A pirate's sword is stuck in the little troll's chest..
Taaaaaang-!
A warrior striking down a giant troll's club..
Up to this point, it was the same as before..
Geek-!
Tuk-!
The monkey hanging on the troll's back ripped off the troll's necklace and dropped it to the ground..
Kwaaaaaa-!
angry troll.
Grumbling-!
Soon, hot flames covered the guy's head..
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
The group frowns at the realistic smell of burning flesh..
Blah blah blah…
The dwarfs and the monkeys turned back to stone. However, the trolls were broken and scattered to dust..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
Cheolkeong-!
“door! It's a door!”
The secret room was no longer a secret room. Part of the exterior wall was converted into a door.
“Can I go out??”
Jalb asked Kangseol.
“First of all, them..”
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
The statues gathered together and followed the door..
The movement was uniform, as if there were rails underfoot..
Snow and his party followed their movements..
“Is it magic or an institution? How amazing.”
“Aren't there Castrangs in the Federation??”
“no way… Castrang is a product of selfishness created by adding a pinch of magic to logic... Now this... It's like magic from a fairy tale.?”
“It's magic in a fairy tale... That makes sense..”
“Brother, why did these stone statues suddenly appear??”
Because people were scattered across such a vast space, we have not yet encountered others..
Kang Seol and his party talked about the test of the stone statue..
“A map where ruins test us….”
“test? Suddenly?”
“There's that severed head at the auction house.?”
“Ah, that man! I remember. It was bizarre.”
“It all started with that man’s words. I guess it's related..”
“What kind of robbers were involved? Are they familiar with these ruins??”
“At least more than us. There's a good chance you knew it would go this way..”
Marijuu touched her forehead..
“You're scolded. It's not easy just to get out of the ruins, but there are people plotting as well..”
Jalb pounded his chest..
“Just trust me, Marijuu! I will definitely take you to the mansion without any harm to your body.!”
“My knees are already scratched….”
“that….”
“I'm kidding.”
“Mmm! At least we who are gathered here can trust each other.!”
“…….”
“…….”
“Uh, uhm... is not it.”
Neither Mariju nor Kang Seol and the others responded..
Come on…
“The statue has stopped.”
When Kangseol looked up at the ceiling, those letters from the example popped out again..
Kang Seol interpreted the sentence without difficulty this time too..
“The road to the destination is a series of hardships.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Another stone structure appeared nearby. It looked like a vine.
“Only incomprehensibility will open the way.”
When Kang Seol said that, everyone shook their heads and said one thing at a time..
“That round bead was impossible.?”
“There's something hidden there..”
Snowfall slowly approached the wizard statue..
Their path is blocked by a wall made of vines..
He stroked the round sphere..
OK.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The round bead reacted.
For a moment, the statue returned to life as before..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Light emanated from the blue bead..
The vines were colored with a vibrant green color and looked sturdy as if they could never be cut off..
Whioooooooooooo…
At that moment, the wizard's orb illuminated the vine..
Passsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
“oh my god….”
“…The vines are disappearing.”
“Very… Is it?”
Snowfall watched the scene without taking her eyes off even for a moment..
Kugoong…
When the vines disappeared, the dwarves returned to stone statues..
They headed forward again as if nothing had happened..
“…It's surprising that I don't run into anyone like this..”
“Rather, that bead… What kind of power is this??”
“It seems to promote corruption….”
“It looked like that... Maybe it's taking away your life force..”
“indeed! You might think so..”
Kang Seol only referred to their reasoning and continued to think alone..
Mariju asked as she approached Kang Seol, who was leading alone..
“…You have other ideas.?”
“……Something comes to mind.”
“Can you please talk to me??”
“…….”
Kang Seol looked around at the group and said.
“Both certainly make sense, but let's wait and see. Because it might be revealed in the next trial..”
“ah! Well, it doesn't matter anyway….”
Kang Seol tilted his head and asked Han So-mi..
“Soumya.”
“yes, why?”
“Was the ruins originally this big??”
“I wonder that too….”
Marijuu answered instead..
“Star's End extends underground. I think it probably came together as the interior changed..”
“…It's ridiculously big..”
“Yes? I think the same thing.”
But suddenly, the dwarves stopped in their tracks..
“uh? why did it stop….”
Other dwarves pop out from the left path..
Perhaps others were taking the same test..
Jiying…
The dwarf on the snow side activated the power of the orb..
Pussssss…
The dwarves on the other side were not only crushed, but even the dust disappeared. And the power contained in the beads was absorbed into the beads of the dwarf who destroyed them..
“Are you saying we should go together from here??”
In front of it was a broken stone bridge. This stone bridge was quite impressive in scale. Of course, only the skeleton remained, so I could only imagine its original grandeur..
It was then.
“Wait! who is coming!”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
A chill came from the other side. And soon someone's scream.
“Wow, you're a murderer!”
“The killer is chasing me!”
For a moment, Han So-mi and Marijue's expressions became frowning..
Jalb asked..
“A murderer?”
“Well, that man killed the people he was with. Argh! That's it!”
Kang Seol chuckled at the sight of the murderer being pointed at..
“ur….”
“okay… I could smell you from here. I guess I was lucky enough to choose the same path..”
It was nice to meet Ur, but he was carrying the stigma of a murderer..
snowfall asked.
“killed someone?”
“Did you kill him? Yeah, I killed it..”
6 people who came over here said.
“He instantly turned them into blocks of ice and killed them all.!”
“You committed murder out of thin air! It's them! I'm in the same company as those who ruined the auction.!”
Jiang Xue lightly raised his hand to silence them..
If you ask me where in the world there is a person who can shut the mouths of the majority with such a simple gesture, I can only say that there is one here..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Just a little bit of snowfall calmed them down..
It was true that he had flinched, but he didn't notice because the snowfall had deliberately crushed his energy and erased his killing intent..
“why did you kill me?”
“Are you questioning me??”
“No, I'm just curious..”
Ur sighed..
“Isn’t it strange??”
“…….”
“How do people who weren't at the auction know what's going on there?.”
“…Right.”
Ur saw.
Everyone at the auction site.
Even those wearing masks could not fool his eyes and senses. These are people who were not at the auction site..
In other words, there was a high probability that he was in the same league as those who planned this..
Of course, killing someone based on such clues alone is not wrong. there must have been something more.
Jalb shouted..
“That alone can make a person... Maybe you heard it from someone….”
“No, they appeared in the same space as me right after the incident occurred. And I have a sensitive nose. Especially….”
Ur came trotting along..
“The smell of living.”
“…….”
“As soon as they noticed that I was alone, they showed their clumsy behavior. No matter how much you hide your face behind a mask, you can't hide that murky life. Yes, snowfall?”
“What is that... Just a guess... Marijuu! I guess it's interest….”
Jalb defended those who came over. However, Snowfall nodded at Ur’s words..
“Step back, Marijuu. And Somi.”
“all right.”
“I will protect Marijuu.!”
When Han So-mi and Mariju stepped down, Jalb was unable to stick to his previous position. He had to respect the opinion of the majority.
“Well, then… you're right! Marijuu! I guess the situation is confusing.….”
Jalb tried to turn his back to Kangseol. It seems like each person wants to protect the other..
Snowfall said bluntly.
“What are you doing, Jalb??”
“There are many, let's work together….”
“That's where you need to be, right??”
“…huh?”
For a moment, there was silence..
“What are you talking about?”
“You're not good at hiding your life..”
“…What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Are you doubting me now??”
Jalb shouted..
“Marijuu! This guy is so strange! The guy across from me too….”
Marijuu just looked at Jalb with motionless eyes..
Her cold gaze told me that Marijue's heart had already changed..
“…Marijuu?”
“Lord Jalb, it's been about five years since you were my guard..”
“you're right. so….”
“From this moment on, you are no longer the leader of the Shaanxi family..”
“…what is that!”
“It's exactly what Kang Seol said, you're not good at hiding your life..”
“…….”
Jalb took a step forward and joined the six unmasked people..
“…Since when did you notice??”
“I was having doubts. What I was certain about was right after the ruins changed..”
“…why?”
“You lost your life just by being alone with me..”
That was right..
That was the reason why Snowfall did not get closer to the two than necessary..
If Kang-seol and Han So-mi weren't right next to him, Jalb would have killed Marijuu..
Because a little bit of vitality flowed out in that short period of time. He noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't dare say it..
“Then why did both of them act calm??”
“Because I wasn't sure if the three of us could beat you, Jalb. Because you are strong.”
In the case of snowfall, it was just the opposite..
I left him alone because I was hoping that if I left him alone, he might expose the other guy's tail..
“So, the reason why the judgment has changed now is?”
“Just now, I sensed a slight hint of snowfall. The energy was so faint that I was momentarily mistaken. Jalv you… us, no….”
Marijue said confidently.
“You can't beat the snowfall.”
“what?”
“Fuhahaha! I put my life on the line, but now he's talking arbitrarily..”
Seven people can't defeat one person. If I had said that I couldn't beat the four including Snowfall, I would have at least pretended to think..
sreung…
“Well, let’s check it out.?”
Mariju hides behind the snowfall.
“excuse… I think it's safest here..”
“…….”
“…turn off the lights.”
“…yes?”
“It will be a difficult sight to see..”
nod…
When Marijue turned off the light, the ruins were immediately immersed in darkness..
It became difficult to see even right in front of me with the faint light coming from somewhere..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
There was a horrible sound and the sound of blood splattering. I could actually feel a few drops of blood splattering on her dress..
“Now, it's okay.”
The flame burning again.
Grumbling…
“…oh my god.”
The time it took to turn off the light was only a moment..
It was before I even counted to three..
however… The tragedy that unfolded before her eyes was far beyond her imagination..
Headless corpses standing like idiots.
thud-!
thud-!
Bodies falling back all at once.
“he… Hehehe….”
Only Jalbman was crying with his head on the floor..
“don't do it… You monster….”
What did I see?.
Marijuu didn't even want to imagine that..
“you… You were stronger than I imagined..”
“…….”
Kang Seol approached Jalb and made eye contact..
Squeaky…
Soon, the memories he had passed on information to Kang Seol..
“hmm….”
“What did you find out??”
Kangseol scratched his chin and answered Ur's question, which had already come closer..
“This is the remains of an ancient dwarf who has been sleeping for a long time..”
“I knew that.”
“The guys who ruined the auction are targeting the treasure sleeping here. These guys... I wasn't really interested in the auction..”
“like… Is it a treasure? I don't know what treasure is?”
“This guy doesn't seem to know.”
“Why are you planning this now??”
“I guess the ruins needed a living sacrifice to regain their power..”
“Oh my, today was the day when a lot of living sacrifices came to my feet..”
“…okay.”
“…What are you going to do with that woman??”
Accompanying Han So-mi is something Ur already knows..
What Ur was asking about was Marijuu..
Sigh…
she took off her mask.
Soon, her ruby red eyes and her facial features were revealed..
“Sanxi Mariju, let me greet you again. Unfortunately, I just lost my escort..”
“…….”
“If you can help me get out of here safely, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my family..”
“brother….”
Han So-mi looked like a puppy caught in the rain. she was very affectionate.
Kang Seol did not dislike her personality..
“…All right.”
“thank you….”
Ur snorted..
“joy… anyway… Hey, snowfall. That's all the information you know.?”
“Yeah, you know something more?”
“…okay. that bead.”
The blue bead that the dwarf found in his hand..
It was still shining in the wizard dwarf's hand..
Snowfall, following Ur's finger, said.
“What on earth is that bead? And why did the ruins undergo such an ordeal?….”
“test? no. I'm talking.”
“story?”
“What happened with that bead?.”
“That bead is so amazing?”
“…snowfall, look at this.”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Ur activated the orb..
The light soon spread into the air..
Blah blah blah…
The change that occurred as the light spread overwhelmed everyone..
The huge stone bridge was regaining its former appearance..
“Even... no….”
“This….”
Snowfall’s expression hardened..
It was not about rebuilding the stone bridge. It was a return to the way it was before..
Ur grinned..
“This… It's Kagon's item..”
The Kagon Empire was at the pinnacle of time magic and word magic..
Khagon is a forgotten empire whose greatness was only claimed by Urman..
“Kagon's relic fell into the hands of a dwarf. The story started there.”
Kugugoogung Palace…
The ruins have begun to change.
In the distance, the structure of the ruins changed and created something..
It was a fortress.
A castle that appears to have been scaled down from its actual size..
Marijue narrowed her eyes and said.
“That castle... I've seen it before.”
“I saw it?”
“There are traces of it left in the North..”
she sighed.
“It's a throne of ashes. Ancient Dwarf Kingdom.”
