31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 537)
While Jiang Xue was on his way to the port of Mispa, a new letter was delivered to him..
The person who sent the letter was, of course, Mael.
He gave Kang Seol a piece of information..
- There is someone who has come up with a new story about the black dragon that disappeared towards Gorgozia. How about meeting them briefly during your journey??
It was information that snowfall could be scary..
Because there wasn't much that could be found out simply from the information that the black dragon had crossed over to the New World..
Thump thump…
“Are you there??”
Kang Seol deliberately made a loud noise so as not to startle the other person and spoke as softly as possible..
“Who are you? It's my first time hearing this voice.?”
“I found it because I had something to ask the old man..”
“I was going to ask... aha… That's why you came. The land beyond the fog?”
“It's similar.”
“…Isn’t there a dangerous plan? I don't have any secrets!”
“That won't happen.”
“hmm….”
Meeeee profit…
The door opened and an old man with bronze skin who looked like he had been working in the scorching sun for a long time appeared..
“Come on in, it's time for dinner so we can at least talk..”
“thank you.”
Snowfall entered the old house with the twin knights..
“okay… What made you so curious that you looked for me??”
Got to the point from the beginning.
“That day, that is... I heard you were one of the people who saw the black dragon..”
“that's right! I was lucky. Oh my god, it was a real dragon! I think I've heard thousands of times now that I'm just mistaken for a large bird. hmm… No, about hundreds of times….”
“Can you explain what happened that day??”
“There won't be any problem. Ah, so….”
The old man was a janitor on a trading ship, and while sailing, he was hit by a storm and was washed up, causing the ship to drift into the ocean. At that time, he caught something shrouded in fog in his field of vision..
“It was definitely land! cancer! Anyone who has ever worked on a ship would have said that. Anyway, we were going to head there. But no matter how far I go, the distance doesn't narrow..”
“…You can't approach me.”
“Yes, I was so discouraged and exhausted that I thought I was going to die in the scorching sun, but suddenly a cool breeze blew? I was startled and looked up at the sky to see a dragon crossing our ship in an instant and disappearing into the land beyond the fog. How about it, isn't it amazing? Isn't it amazing? I really saw a dragon!”
This is what I've heard about snow so far..
“Are you sure it’s pitch black??”
“that's right. uh… is not it… I saw it from a distance so it may not be clear. Still, since everyone says it was a black dragon, it must be black..”
“however… I heard that there are parts of this story that only the elders speak differently..”
“They have a sprained eye! I saw it right! There was something on the dragon's back. person! There was someone riding it!”
“Umm….”
Snowfall frowned..
‘Who did Tansia go with??’
Anxiety suddenly came to me..
“Are you sure??”
“uh… Uh... But I didn't have time to check whether it was a man or a woman. 'Cause she was so quick….”
“The story behind it is….”
“I don't know. Another storm hit and I thought it was over and lost consciousness, but luckily I was rescued..”
“All right.”
“ah! There is one. But I can't tell if this is a dream, a delusion, or reality.….”
“It's okay, you can tell me..”
the old man said.
“long breath.”
“breath?”
“A long breathing sound was heard beyond the fog. Maybe that's... Wasn't it the dragon's breath??”
“…….”
Kangseol smiled brightly..
“…thank you.”
Kang Seol tried to solve a question, but ended up with a new question as well..
It was about 15 days before the expedition team's meeting schedule..
* * *
A total of four sparkling golden carriages. The chariots moved loudly apart on either side of the Golden King..
The Golden King's behavior was unusual..
Long black hair down to her waist and golden eyes. Decoration in the form of a thin chain across the nose and cheekbones.
Although she wore somewhat revealing traditional clothing of unknown origin, it did not look vulgar at all. No, rather, it created an aura that cannot be easily accessed..
Although she was an outstanding beauty, it aroused feelings closer to the awe of an admirably well-made statue rather than a dark heart, and this, combined with the energy of the Golden King, revealed that she was a strong and dangerous person..
“…….”
The Golden King looked down vaguely and spoke to the audience who were staring at her in an awkward posture as if they were about to get up..
“hooky.”
“…….”
“Why do you hesitate, you fools, even though you must bow down to the king??”
Although Fuki was a powerful king who awoke from her tomb two years ago, ushering in a new era, the people gathered here were not all that easy..
One of the kings of the great empire Khan.
Chiwoo, Seolhong’s closest associate, answered..
“I only kneel to my king.”
Others also added their words one by one..
“You have to know who it is to be polite. Let's have a drink with the expedition members tonight and talk about it separately. Hahaha!”
“You are Fukiro, I really wanted to meet you..”
“It came out loud, yeah.”
Fuki looked at them with an unpleasant expression for a moment, which made the two golden giants standing behind her move..
Cooung…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Beings bigger than Jangdu.
These were one of the powers of the Golden King Fuki.
“It's not that difficult to turn irreverence into fear..”
Sigh…
someone coming to her side.
“But it's not always best.”
“Mael, curious troll. what is your method?”
“I think it would be nice to stay here and talk with them about the future. This is because we do not have much time, and if the Golden King gets angry, the expedition schedule may be disrupted..”
“…It would be difficult if the expedition was delayed. I will take your advice..”
“Thank you, Golden King.”
some strange relationship.
It was Mael who brought everyone here together, but no one knew how he brought in the eccentric character known as the Golden King..
asked the wizard with the sign of the new zodiac hanging on his robe..
“Mael, can you tell us about your relationship with the author? If I do something wrong, I think it will be a big problem on the expedition..”
“I tried to explain it step by step. However, we need to put out the fire first before the alert escalates further. Meeting Fuki was... So, I came after Pandea was shaken..”
Mael spoke about the mysterious things he experienced.
The tectonic changes that occurred after the war.
A massive underground tomb was discovered in the process..
Naturally, Mael, a member of the Relic Society, rushed there within a month and uncovered the secret of the tomb..
The tomb's extensive history was recorded clearly, albeit intermittently, and indicated who was buried here and what a great person he was..
“mesp.”
“mesp?”
“Fuki looks no different from a human, but in reality, he is just like us… No, not me. I am different from you all..”
“I'm completely human?”
“The most understandable explanation would be to say that Mesph is a personification of a spirit rooted in Pandea. From the moment they are born, they manipulate elements that suit their aptitude, and comparing their magic conductivity to that of humans is so overwhelming that it is almost like a meaningless act..”
“Hmm… It's said that they are born magicians. Interesting.”
Mael nodded..
“you're right. It is said that Mesp was a magical society, and all the high-ranking people were powerful enough to reach the rank of archmage. And according to records, the Golden King was the most powerful archmage in their history..”
“Hahaha! Since we're both wizards, it'll make sense! However, the really important thing is not being said. How did that woman end up here??”
Mael explained this.
“I encountered it while robbing..”
“…….”
“To be precise, I should say that I encountered those two shining eyes while delving into the secrets of the tomb.?”
“…It's a good thing you didn't die.”
“ha ha ha! Because I begged for it. I said I would leave everything as is and ask for my wish to be granted..”
“wish?”
Fuki said dryly, probably remembering that time..
“He was curious about me, this little troll was far from the beast I knew... it saved his life.”
“Oh my! That's it! Okay, so the Golden King is a man of considerable skill... Is that why you called me here??”
“It's not just because of that.”
Mael looked at Hooky, thought for a moment, and then looked outside..
“Seeing as I still can't see it, I have no choice but to start a meeting soon..”
“Who else is scheduled to come other than those gathered here? If you come late and see this absurd woman, you might faint..”
“Hahaha! Maybe so.”
Mael said embarrassedly..
“I was informed that it would take some time to deliver the news so late..”
A cute woman with a playful face in a corner said.
“Being late for something this important... Even though he's a jerk, he's someone who can be forgiven.?”
Next to the woman who spoke, a 10-year-old boy who looked like her younger brother spoke in a cold tone..
“I can't wait for just one person. That would make me angry..”
Others agreed..
“That's right, all these people can't waste their time waiting for one idiot..”
“Just come and I'll kick your ass and throw you into the ocean.”
“oh! Then I pee on it.”
And to top it all off, the words of the Golden King Fuki are added..
“No one can keep the Golden King waiting. Mael, he will punish him..”
Mael scratched his chin and laughed..
“this… It seems that my words and actions have somehow made him hate you even before the meeting..”
“It won't matter?”
“…I'd like to say that it's okay if you're questioning him and not me..”
“I hope you don't say anything else later. If you do that, you too will be punished..”
“yes….”
The meeting began, and the members were introduced. When looking at the members of the expedition in detail, there were sometimes strange people and forces, but in general, they were either convinced or surprised when their identities were revealed..
“hmm… How are you, Libra??”
“ha ha ha! That kid doesn't come to places like this. I came instead.”
“It's something the Zodiac might be interested in..”
Then the meeting moves on to the next stage..
“So, what is the way to get to the new continent of Gorgosia??”
Mael looked at the Golden King..
“Come here.”
As Fuki spoke softly, an attendant took something out of the carriage. I came carrying something that, at first glance, gave off an unusual energy, held up in elegant silk..
“This…?”
“It is Mesp's sacred item, the Golden Soul. It consists of two pairs and can move through the fog by using the power of the golden soul..”
“Ho... There was such a thing?.”
“rather than that….”
Chiu asked Fuki..
“Hooky, for what purpose are you heading to Gorgozia??”
“…There is something you are looking for.”
“do you know what it is?”
“I can not say.”
“…….”
“Wolf, let me think about it if you become my subject..”
Tendons sprouted on Chiwoo’s forehead..
He is here as a messenger from the Khan Empire. If you tolerate insults, you are dishonoring the Khan..
“What a disgusting woman. She has no intention of becoming your subject..”
“…It's a shame. I thought I would listen to the owner well..”
Well…
When Chiu held the handle of the chair tightly, the handle broke into powder..
“…Trusting this crazy woman and crossing the sea where no one has returned alive? That won't happen!”
Fuki said.
“Mael, I heard this journey will be quite interesting for you..”
“…Yes, I said so..”
“But what I'm seeing now is frivolous conversation and laughable people..”
“…….”
“I will punish you.”
At those words, everyone jumped up from their seats. Even Mael tried to dissuade him by using his flagship, but Fuki acted first..
Crumbling-!
Her right arm turned into a thunderbolt and flew towards Qiu's neck..
Qiu is Khan’s messenger..
If a problem arises internally, the discord can grow out of control and the future cannot be promised..
“not….”
“that….”
Those who saw Fuki's methods for the first time were thankful that they were not the ones standing in front of her. She is watching, but she intuitively realizes that she can never be stopped..
It's a fleeting moment, but it's like a moment of fear for everyone..
It's not going to fall out-!
Fuki's lightning did not achieve its purpose.
Falling in love…
A black shadow enveloped the lightning and made it immobile..
Whioooooooo…
A man dressed in black was standing next to Chiu at some point..
Fuki showed his expression for the first time.
“…king.”
Grinding-!
Snowfall shook off the lightning and spoke lightly to the crowd..
“a little late.”
- Being late for something this important... Are you saying that he is a jerk or someone who can be forgiven at the very least? I'll bet on the former.
Those on the left say.
“It might be late, whatever..”
The woman who earlier criticized the last person who did not appear grinned..
“It was the latter.”
