31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 48)
What Snowfall held out was an antidote to the shadow poison made from poisonous herb powder..
In fact, only Kangseol can make it, and its value must be determined by Kangseol..
Kibo was silent for a moment as he looked at the antidote he gave him..
“This thing… Is it an antidote to shadow poison??”
“As you see.”
“The recipe is… No, more than that, how did you get it??”
“Is it important??”
“No. Well, it's not important. I made a mistake.”
Mira Yoo said to Kang Seol, surprised to see Kibo flustered for the first time in her life..
“antidote? This is the antidote to shadow poison?”
“I refuse to ask the same question.”
“Well, then Kibo can recover.?”
“That's a similar question.”
“but….”
Like a granddaughter worrying about her grandfather, she seemed unable to believe in the existence of an antidote called Yumi. Seeing that, Kibo comforted Yu Mira with one of her hands..
“Mira, from now on, just listen..”
“keyboard!”
“Listen quietly, Mira. It's not your place. Or are you going to stay out??”
“Tsk….”
Kibo with a stern voice. Mira Yu had seen Kibo exude this kind of energy a few times. Kibo at this time is really scary..
Mira Yu groaned and glanced at Snowfall. Kang Seol didn't feel bad or any negative feelings about that action..
‘It looks like you care a lot about Kibo..’
It was an unusual relationship..
The leader of the ruin hunters who rolled along with the former woman..
Kibo continued to teach Yumira and she followed him without much doubt..
While Kang Seol was thinking about the relationship between the two, Kibo spoke up..
“Is there anything you want in return? Could it be Gallotta’s tongue??”
“It has already become a means of transaction. I want something else.”
“…Other?”
“It would be nice if it was a treasure, a rare material, or some information that could be of use to me..”
Kibo closed his mouth at Kang Seol’s words..
Something seemed troublesome. Then she sighed and spoke out..
“We are in a cold war with Heka, so we sold all the treasures we had collected a long time ago. Could you please look at the situation for a little while??”
“well… Looks like the favor has already been given.”
“hmm?”
“The fact that I trade this antidote with you is itself a favor to you..”
“haha… It's not wrong. Right.”
“what is this sound? keyboard?”
Kibo nodded heavily next to him..
Yumi-ra couldn't follow the conversation between the two..
“What this person says is true. Imagine what it would have been like if the opponent had gone to Heka with this antidote. It's Mira.”
“ah… I see.”
“The other person is already considerate of us. That's what it means to trade this product with us. By the way, what should I do with this?….”
Kibo had already figured out the intention of the snowfall..
I know that he likes Kibo quite a bit and that he has already been kind to him..
‘But the favor ends here..’
If Kibo fails to see through the situation and makes a foolish move, the deal will go wrong..
“But everything I said earlier is true..”
“Are you saying that you sold all your treasures??”
“Yeah, unfortunately most of the treasures worth trading are….”
What I mean by most is not everything. Still, there was still something left to trade..
Sigh-
Among the rings on all ten of Kibo's fingers, the one with the darkest color was placed on the table..
“Kibo! that….”
“I know, but I have no choice but to pay for the items..”
“Why is it your symbol?….”
“The only thing that can symbolize me is me. This is just a thing.”
Snowfall picked up a wolf head shaped ring.
[Wolf's Warning]
Grade: Treasure
appropriate level : 10 – 20
resistance : 30
stamina : 68/68
Weight: 0.1kg
A ring handed down from a tribe that reveres the wolf god. Whether it has magical powers and warns the wearer of danger..
Basic abilities: Strength +2 Dexterity + 3 Intelligence +1 Wisdom + 8
Special ability: When the wearer is in a dangerous situation, a wolf howl rings out..
‘It's a warning power..’
It was a ring perfect for casters with tenacity and low stamina to wear..
In the first place, it was difficult for the efficacy of accessories such as rings and necklaces to be superior to other major parts, so these powers were more useful in most cases..
- excuse me. Why do I keep giving treasure to this person??
- This is something we don’t know either..
- Miraculous alchemy haha the antidote turned into a treasure!
- There's even a lot of antidote left haha.
- Crazy, even the ring is a treasure ㅡㅡ
- But I guess the effect of non-appropriation is enormous.
- wham?
- I was disappointed when I saw the treasure's stats haha.
- Haha, but surprisingly, there are both snowmen.…
Kang Seol smiled softly and squeezed the hand where the ring was placed. Kibo saw it and asked.
“Make a deal... Are you accepting it??”
“I like it.”
“haha! ha ha ha… Treat it with care! This is an item that has never been removed from my fingers for 20 years..”
Next to me, Mira Yu was crying..
“that… They say it was given to Kibo when he inherited the members.….”
“It's Mira.”
“You can give me something like that.?”
“My family is still alive. Moreover, I also got a good opportunity..”
“…….”
“It is not the object that needs to be attached. It's family. You can always get the ring back with another treasure..”
“…okay.”
Kibo glanced at the snowfall and held up the antidote..
“So let’s see what works..”
“However much.”
mulberry.
Kibo opened the lid of the antidote given by Snowfall and poured it into his mouth without a moment's hesitation..
profit…
“Ugh… My throat feels like it's burning. Even the strongest alcohol I've ever drank wouldn't have been this bad..”
“Because it's poison.”
Yu Mira jumped at Kang Seol’s words..
“what? what?”
Just as Yumira was about to take out the sword from her waist, Kibo answered her..
“Mira, my head is pounding. please be quiet.”
“They say it's poison!”
“No, seeing how painful it is, it’s not wrong… It definitely works.”
Cheeeeee…
Kibo's black arms, which were limp and limp, gradually returned to their original skin color. The changes started from the elbows, to the wrists, and finally to the fingers..
Tsuuuu…
Black, foul-smelling smoke disappeared beyond the window..
Mira Yu couldn't keep her mouth shut about this whole situation with her eyes the size of coins..
“oh my god… Kibo's arm is healed.?”
“ha… ha….”
“It must have been quite painful….”
“Should I compare it to the pain of losing one arm? If I cry this loud, no one will listen to me..”
Kang Seol nodded and stood up..
“Next is the exchange of treasures.”
“Oh yeah. However much.”
Rita, the auction house manager, was called in even though it was business hours and brought the two treasures under heavy security..
Zech-
Shay's grace is given to Kibo..
Zech-
Galotta's tongue was given to Kang Seol..
Rita saw that and held out two documents..
“Everyone can sign here.”
“Oh, and all fees are paid here..”
Kibo readily announced that it would pay all transaction fees. Kang Seol had no reason to refuse so he nodded..
Once the deal was concluded, Kibo bit people. Once again, only Kang Seol, Yu Mira, and Kibo remain..
“Wasn't the deal over??”
“No, there's still one thing left..”
sssss…
Kibo, holding the grace of Shays, raised his black energy..
Kang Seol twitched his eyebrows because he was in a very good mood. Then, he also slowly increased his momentum so that he could fight back..
“What are you doing??”
“I was just playing a prank. But I'm sad because I'm not surprised.”
Kibo stopped being playful and spoke to Kang Seol with serious eyes..
“Please help us in this fight against Heka..”
“I refuse. Because I hate meddling in other people’s business..”
“Hmm… It won't be easy, right? This is the biggest incident taking place in Nobira, so not even the bakery owner or the sewer rat will be able to escape the aftermath..”
“Are you done with what you wanted to say??”
“Well, let's stop here. It was a good deal. can you tell me the name?”
Kang Seol was a little surprised that he hadn't revealed his name so far..
“call me snowman.”
“Ah, Snowman. we will meet again.”
“If we have to see each other.”
Mira Yu and Kibo left.
Yumira followed Kibo and kept stealing glances at Kang Seol as if she felt something was missing..
Yumira, who left Snowfall's residence with Kibo, opened her mouth and shouted at Kibo..
“Why are you so angry at that snowman? You don't have any power?”
“…It's scarier because there's no power, Mira..”
There was sweat on Kibo's chin as he spoke..
“Kibo, Kibo? What's wrong with Kibo? also! It wasn't an antidote! You son of a bitch! right now…”
It was natural for Yu Mira to be shocked when she saw this. However, she did not turn around and run away. Soon Kibo explained the situation..
“It's Mira.”
“Kibo? are you okay?”
“You've calmed down now. after….”
“What's with all that sweat? What's going on??”
“Mira, sit down for a moment..”
The two stopped for a moment and sat in a flower bed in a safe place..
Kibo spoke first..
“What makes ruin hunters different from others??”
“eye?”
“That’s right, it’s exactly the eyes and senses. That's why I took you away.”
“…thank you.”
“When you first came here you were full of anger at the world.”
“I know. I feel like I've changed too.”
Mira Yu remembers the day she first came to Nobira. Rainy weather, lights off, shopping malls.
Nothing was kind to her, and Yumira took that for granted. Because her original world was no different from the situation back then..
She was alone, and she screamed out that she was in pain as hard as she could, but no one listened to her except the fake people who were interested in her appearance..
It was Kibo who got her like that..
“Then, thank you for having me. If not, would I still be alive today??”
“You would have survived. The venom in those bloodshot eyes was so memorable.….”
“Anyway, so?”
“In the talk of luxury, Heka and I are compared to a lion and a wolf. Well, it's not wrong. Heka is tough and brave. I lead a smaller hunting party and tend to avoid fights unless I have to..”
“Kibo is right. Heka is crazy.”
Yumira followed Kibo, thinking it was an absolute good thing. It still is. What Kibo said was absolutely correct..
“Kibo is the only one who dreams of a future with transferees. He is the shepherd who leads us.”
“Tsk tsk… A passing dog would laugh at the fact that a wolf is a shepherd, you guy. Stop painting my face with gold..”
“Really! Really, Kibo is amazing..”
Kibo sighed and said to Yumira..
“Mira, the reason I brought this up is no different. I felt afraid of him.”
“that? Snowman or snowman or that bastard? What are you talking about?”
“Do you remember me showing off to him earlier??”
“Yeah, he said it was a joke?”
“No, I just dreamed it up. however… My eyes closed, the reason I was able to get to this point was a warning. He's dangerous. You shouldn't come close.”
“All you have to do is trust your intuition.?”
“There is also a basis. You don't find it strange that a powerless individual in Nobira holds treasure..”
“…ah!”
Kibo's suspicions were natural..
Even in the ruin city of Nobira, treasure was distributed only by factions that operated large-scale ruin hunting groups. Most of the treasures were discovered by such hunting groups with great effort..
However, a man who fell from the sky trivially exchanged treasure and even cured Kibo's serious illness..
It was already very contradictory to assume that he was an ordinary person..
“And it is clear that his treasures are much more than this. Just looking at his belt, it was a precious item I had never seen before. Much better than this crystal ball I'm holding right now.”
“…Who is it??”
“Take note from now on, don't approach him carelessly..”
Yumi was just embarrassed because Kibo had never talked to her like this before..
Kibo showed no interest in her reaction and continued talking..
“Mira, there is a reason why I take you with me to every important job and important event..”
“What is the reason??”
“A wolf pack doesn't follow the strongest wolf. Follow the wisest wolf.”
“…….”
“When the day comes that you will stand tall, remember my words. You must build up enough strength to keep up, and build up enough wisdom to get ahead..”
“Enough to not fall behind... Enough to get ahead….”
“Heka probably would have felt the same way if she had met the author. Either a lion or a wolf….”
Kibo trembled and swallowed at the sight of Snowfall's eyes and the energy hidden within his small body..
“Because in the end, it’s beneath humanity..”
“I wonder how great the snowman was evaluated.?”
“You'll find out soon enough, you too.”
“In what way? The deal is done.?”
“After hearing about him from Rita, I mobilized all my intelligence networks to find out about this mysterious person..”
“result?”
Instead of answering, Kibo instead asked a question to Yu Mira..
“The transferees said they could find out who was the strongest in Nobira.?”
“Yeah, I told you that a while ago. Even though I had 350,000 points, I was pushed out of 5th place because of one strange guy... what?”
“Who was the strongest there??”
“that… It says it's private?”
“The date on which Private appears exactly matches the date on which the author came in..”
“Hey, it must be a coincidence.”
“I too started with doubts at first. And now I was sure. I actually saw him. So I'm saying.”
gulp…
Yumira was able to guess what Kibo was going to say from his attitude..
When the word 'No way' was engraved in her mind, Kibo said.
“He is private. And maybe Heka noticed too..”
“So what should I do? If he falls for Heka?”
“well… First of all, an all-out war will break out soon, so we need to prepare. He will probably be the most important storm in this uprising. Please, let's hope the storm blows towards the lion..”
