31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 437)
Kang Seol noticed as soon as he entered the room that they had messed with the scented candle..
[Advanced Insight is activated..]
[The smell of dreamy plants is mixed together..]
[When you fall asleep, you fall into a deep sleep..]
This is where his insight skills, which evolved in the pitch-black labyrinth, shined..
He put a drowsiness herb in his mouth and chewed it..
‘Is it betrayal??’
Jian's Betrayal.
But it wasn't that surprising. The jaws of a traitor will eventually bite the traitor's tail..
Their providence was endlessly repeated betrayal. However, I had a doubt..
‘The timing is not very good.?’
If he was planning to betray, he really should have avoided this situation..
Snowfall's power was split in half, but it was still intact. Those who are talking outside will be able to sort it out in an instant..
Nevertheless, Jian betrayed.
So why? No, now I know.
‘Didn't you betray me??’
A choice occurred to him..
[Before you fell asleep, you realized someone's trick and entered a state of tension. Jian's betrayal seems likely. how will you act?]
1. Immediately wake everyone up and interrogate them..
2. Just wait for the beast like this and the moment it attacks, counterattack..
3. Sneak out and make sure everyone is safe.
4. Finding the whereabouts of the missing Jian.
……
The bed next to him was left unclaimed. It's Jian's bed..
Karuna couldn't sleep either. He was waiting for Snowfall's instructions with his eyes open..
Kang Seol, who was trying to tell Karuna to check on Tansia's safety, decided that there was a risk of her actions being discovered..
And, something that happened recently bothered me..
- You are not a guardian, Kang Seol. If she stays like this, she will eventually become your weakness..
‘…I guess I'll have to figure it out myself..’
It was right to let Tansia protect her own safety..
Kang Seol put his index finger to the corner of his mouth and signaled that he should not show it, then quietly opened the window and let the crows out..
The crows dispersed in an instant and roamed the night sky without a sound..
‘…found.’
Jian, who had disappeared, and his wife were having a conversation some distance away from the house..
The crow listened carefully to their conversation..
“Barua is?”
“I can't tell you the location.”
“It's too much, you don't trust me?”
“It was a personal request from Baruah. Don't tell anyone….”
“He's a shrewd guy... . Otherwise, you don't know where you are either.?”
“If you're thinking about it, you'd better quit..”
As soon as Kang Seol heard their conversation, he realized that they had known each other from the beginning and that Ji An had deliberately led the group to this house..
‘however… a little conversation….’
Although it was a superior-subordinate relationship, they had a strong feeling that they were wary of Jian..
“Also, he added that Jian is someone who cannot be trusted..”
“and… This hurts me a little, so next time I see you, I'll have to say something harsh to you. then… What do you guys think??”
“…….”
“What do you think? I'm such an untrustworthy person?”
“I'll spare you the answer.”
Jian paused for a moment, then spoke again as if sighing..
“Then, let’s get what we both want and break up cleanly. If you repeat it a few times, you will gain credibility. How about exchanging information first??”
“…great.”
“What are your plans? It's going well?”
“It's going smoothly. The Great One sees that the sealing sphere will be completed before the end of the year..”
“It's not faster than planned?”
“The speed at which the opponent's power expands is too fast. I guess I'm just being wary of that part..”
Kang Seol paid attention to the characters who appeared here..
‘The great one... and his opponent?’
Beings still hidden in the fog.
“Now, you too, ask.”
“The Special Lieutenant is a facade, and they are actually the crows that killed Tekon. Is that correct?”
“…We're already getting there?”
“Is that correct?”
“her… Yes, that's right. It's them.”
Snowfall’s complexion frowned..
‘I passed on this information... . It's not that important.’
My judgment on whether it was a betrayal or not kept wavering..
“How can I believe it's true?”
teeing-!
Jian flicked something and sent it to the other person..
“This….”
“Right? crow sigil.”
“you're right. Special committee... These are the people we need to be wary of..”
“You don't know exactly about them yet.?”
“Is that a question??”
“no! This is not a question. If you don't want to answer, don't. Anyway, I almost died because of the crows. I thought Tekon was defeated because he was weak, but Benhuw and Assiri were also defeated badly.….”
“I think it's a shame. Even though Jian has lost a lot of his power, the fact that he is still alive and well is enough to be of help to the council..”
“If you know, do it well... Okay, next question.”
Jian watched the other person's actions like a snake..
“Have you recovered the piece of assertion??”
“That's a question I don't really want to answer..”
“Answer me, did you recover it??”
“…….”
“If you don't answer, I don't think there's any need for conversation..”
“All right. To be precise... Not yet.”
“The last I heard was that his student came forward..”
“It looks like the Trium guys' interference is causing quite a bit of trouble..”
“Haha! It's worth it. But even if his disciple came forward, there would be trouble.?”
“Don't make fun of them. In terms of power, they may actually be superior..”
“…Hmm, so you can get the goods soon.?”
“There is talk of entering the ruins soon. Then the pieces can also be recovered... No, the questions are now for us..”
The couple were impressed. The good-looking people disappeared and people filled with vicious murder appeared..
“Let me tell you the truth. we distrust you.”
“…….”
“However, I would not like to think that you, a member of the noble council, defected overnight. Please answer. He promised to sacrifice everything for a grand goal.….”
“Put aside the rhetoric, am I a traitor... Or are you wondering if she's hiding her claws? Right?”
Even Kangseol, who had been listening closely, flinched at this question..
Jian said.
“You are following the grand goals of the Great One?”
“It goes without saying! If you are testing us….”
“It's strange, that's such a grand goal..”
“……Are you saying that you are denying the will of the Great One??”
“I don't deny it. Because I don't know the details. However, I doubt it. It's suspicious.?”
“What… profane!”
“It sucks, it sucks. Kokoro is suffocating because he can't hide the rotten smell. Yeah, if you ask me if I'm a traitor, I'll tell you.”
Jian’s mood changed..
For a moment, a solid spirit existed in that place..
“I'm not a traitor. Because I had no intention of being with you from the beginning..”
“As expected, you were a traitor! I'll kill you!”
Wow!-!
Wood-dud-dud-duk-duk-duk-duk!
A wall of bones rose up and covered Jian's body. He turned around and ran towards the house, shouting.
“snowfall! You're watching! Help me! I'm dying!”
“Pfft… I plan to wake him up. Hurry before he joins in too….”
It was then.
A flock of crows flew from somewhere and created a blurry human shape..
[Iai: Uses river splitting..]
[Quickly draws the sword from its scabbard and inflicts enormous damage to a single target..]
[It's an unavoidable attack.]
[50% fixed damage is applied to large opponents..]
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
A surprise attack in a completely unexpected situation. The image of the good couple was gone, and only the combatants standing there trying to catch the sword that Snow Seol had struck down..
Kwaziyyyyyyyyyyyy-!
The sword was drawn downward, crushing their intentions..
patter…
A straight mark was left on the floor where the sword passed, and the groove soon filled with blood..
A body so viciously distorted that it cannot even think of regeneration..
When Kang Seol turned his head back, Jian shrugged his shoulders..
“Phew, if you were watching, you should have helped me sooner. ruler! Now let's search their arms. Maybe something useful will come out….”
As Jian approached the crushed body, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the house..
“That's right, that kid! Even little kids are dangerous!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
At that moment, a huge arm appeared in the house, breaking the second floor wall. In its claws were the clothes of the child who was supposed to share a room with Tansia..
“her….”
When Jian looked up to the second floor, Tansia appeared..
“I didn't hesitate this time!”
“…You caught something better than a mountain goat, kid..”
* * *
“lie! The harmonious family I saw yesterday was an outside informant for the council.?”
After hearing Jian's explanation, Sindio was so shocked that he could not keep his mouth shut..
That's because she fell asleep without any discomfort the night before..
“Kahaha! I didn’t feel a sense of discomfort.?”
“It's a feeling of discomfort... How many people live separately in non-governed areas? What you are saying now is to make them all feel uncomfortable.….”
Syndio poof! He looked at Tansia. Tansia was smiling brightly..
“no way… Am I the only one who didn’t feel it??”
No one nodded at first, but it was an unspoken affirmation..
“…Should I go back now?.”
It seemed like a huge shock that she, who had to be the most attentive of the group, was the most lax..
food…
While she was in shock, a magical bird flew to her shoulder..
“ho, what is that?”
Sindio said in response to Jian’s question:.
“It's long distance communication magic..”
“What if someone snatches it??”
“It's okay because I have a password. I'm the only one who can read it.”
Jiyiing…
When Sindio heard the news from the bird, he whispered something to the bird and sent it again..
“An expedition team has been formed. They say they've already started..”
“Right.”
“Wait a little bit, then say hello and go..”
“No, I don't have time for that..”
Sindio got angry at Jian’s callous words..
“What does that mean? They are….”
“Congress is moving faster than expected. If you don't stop it now, what you can do next time will be cut in half. The leadership is completely transferred to the other side..”
“So, are you saying we should move first before the expedition team catches up??”
“Of course?”
“that… Then there will definitely be problems with the expedition team..”
“What do you know? It has nothing to do with us whether there is an expedition or not..”
“that… That's right... Yes. However, if you move together, it is easier to get help in case of an emergency.….”
“help? No, it's better if we don't need any help.”
“yes? what does that mean?”
Last night, Kang Seol and Jian talked about their next destination. Their trust was better than before, but only literally..
Ji-an spoke while looking at Kang-seol’s eyes..
“Well, actually this is the biggest problem. The place we are heading from now on is the west side of the grassland.….”
“Has the route changed? Aren't we supposed to go to the tundra??”
“I told you. You have to move one step ahead of your opponent and correct your route. Solving this problem comes first.”
“If it's west of the grassland... for a moment….”
Syndio was startled..
“no way… You're sane, you?”
“I'm always crazy Here, talk to a sane guy..”
“Wow, that's crazy! It's a tree, that's it!”
Kang Seol chuckled..
It is natural that this kind of reaction follows the word of heading to Triam..
“It can't be helped. The Congress guys are already there and they're sticking their heads in to get what they want. If we want to fight them, we have to go into their territory..”
“It's completely crazy... If it's a tree….”
“What is Trium??”
When Tansia looked at Kangseol and asked, Kangseol answered with a grin..
“It's a small kingdom inhabited only by ogres..”
“Kahaha! Sounds fun?”
“There won't be any problem..”
Syndio muttered with a tired expression at the group's dull response..
“…Should I go back now??”
In the end, she was persuaded by Jian's words that there was a way, and promised to follow it without saying a word..
And a few days later, Sindio regretted not going back at that time..
“no! Let go! I'm going back! You son of a bitch!”
“Uh-huh! You promised to keep an eye on me! Now, quickly monitor Lee Jian.!”
“stop… I really don't want to die. yes? Please everyone stop. If you want to die, please die at home.!”
“It's already too late. Triam's scouts must have smelled the meat..”
They were already in the tree.
A city of shattered humans, as if it had been bombed. And something huge waddles in the distance..
thud…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“It's coming! It's coming!”
The ground shook at their advance..
“Oh, hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey.”
“OMG! It's an ogre! What should I do?!”
“What can I do? I can only hope that what this friend says is right..”
“…….”
Thump thump thump thump-!
The ogres' steps gradually became faster..
Probably saw this way.
Although I had gotten used to it a bit since I had seen Jamard's body on a daily basis, the overwhelming size of the ogre made my heart pound excessively..
“Ugh! It was a windfall... There's a lot of meat.”
“Let’s cook it and eat it! It'll be delicious!”
“You can't eat just one first.?”
“Then I don't do either.!”
A group of ogres talking unintelligible words among themselves. There were as many as four ogres the size of a house..
A foul odor emanates from the mouth, and the energy of a ferocious beast radiates from the body..
If you encountered an ogre on the plains, one of the top predators, there was no way to avoid it..
The ogres had already arrived and surrounded the group..
“Sooooo… Hehehehe….”
It was extremely unsettling to see saliva flowing from one of them's mouth like a flood..
Kukkuk…
Sindio poked Kang Seol’s back..
“hey… Try something….”
If you have something ready, do it quickly. Surely, it will be too late to implement the plan in the ogre's belly..
It was half a gamble, but when the ogres approached and started talking, Kang Seol predicted the success of his poor plan..
‘I can hear it. then… I guess you can say it.’
After interpreting Alkatron's words, I was able to hear and speak the languages of various races. It was like this again.
Snowfall calmly spoke in their language.
“nice to meet. we are your guests.”
Jian and Shindio were startled by Kangseol, who spoke a completely unknown language..
The words that Kang Seol spoke were, of course, the language of an ogre. The ogre language was a difficult language to learn even if you wanted to learn it..
That's right, you'll get eaten by them before you learn everything..
They weren't the only ones surprised by what Kang Seol said..
“Woooooooo….”
One of the ogres bowed down and approached the snowfall. A situation where it seems like if you open your mouth, it will go right in and disappear..
“I said… ingredients.”
[The charm kicks in. Gain additional favorability.]
[A sudden adventure called ‘Talking Dried Food’ occurs..]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
