31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 538)
With an expressionless face, Kang Seol looked at the Golden King Fuki, who had attacked Chiu..
“new year….”
Qiu's eyes grew as big as a flower lantern, and when he realized that he was in a cold war with a dangerous opponent, he turned his gaze and looked at the Golden King..
Her followers, wearing over-the-top clothing that covered most of their faces, shouted..
“You are interfering with the will of the Golden King! As long as I don't go crazy!”
“Hurry up and get down on your knees and confess your mistakes! Otherwise….”
As the believers chatted freely, someone in the meeting spoke softly..
“It's noisy, it's a bunch of people.”
“What, what! Let's challenge the authority of the Golden King now.….”
“The Golden King thinks so much of you?”
“Well, that's….”
The believer, whose pride was hurt, looked at the Golden King, but the Golden King did not pay any attention to him and was only looking at the snowfall..
Sigh…
Fuki lifted one finger, and his two golden kidneys took a step forward..
I'll watch the reaction.
Sooooo…
Twin knights with a strange energy appeared behind the snowfall..
Knights with mischievous smiles, but with their eyes close to their kidneys and their hands close to their waists..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
The golden glow of Fuki's eyes becomes even stronger. Her eyes measure the other person.
What would happen if you fight the opponent in front of you?.
‘…It's blurry?’
A mesp with a sixth sense that borders on clumsy foresight. And among them, the Golden King, who was gifted with a particularly strong sixth sense, could not easily predict the direction..
Blurry results, as if there is noise.
Fuki realized.
‘…You didn't want to know what happened next..’
Perhaps, Fuki, if she fights with all her might, the entire Port of Mispa will be devastated and half of the expedition team here will die..
Her plans will be disrupted, and it may be a while before the expedition is assembled again..
If so, is this current conflict…
‘Is it worth it??’
Fuki's head tilted..
“Hmm….”
“Golden King! punish them!”
“Immortal status for those who insulted the king….”
Fuki looked back at the believers coldly..
“Stay out, all of you.”
“Ha, but….”
“Who said it was okay to throw up??”
Kwaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Given her personality, it wasn't surprising that she burned Shindo's head with lightning, but there was no need to see blood on the spot, so Shindo was able to survive..
Believers hurriedly retreat.
The withdrawal was quick because Fuki knew what would happen if he said the same thing twice..
‘Mael… the insidious one.’
- …If you're questioning him and not me, I'd like to tell you as much as I can..
What Mael said passes through Fuki's mind..
He was confident. The arrogant thought of daring to fit the Golden King into the mold of the expedition deserves to be burned to death, but if there is another king in the expedition, the balance is surprisingly balanced..
As Mael intended, we are entering a state of precarious balance..
Truly disloyal, truly wicked..
‘…But that's also why Fuki finds you special.’
Sigh…
Fuki sat down with his kidneys pushed back..
“Mael, you kept your promise..”
“…Have I lived up to the Golden King's expectations??”
“It is true. This expedition looks like it will be the most exciting time since my new awakening..”
“…….”
As the Golden King, who had shown his terrifying might, calmly sat down again, the expedition members who had gathered for the meeting also began to slowly regain their strength..
“Hey! long time no see!”
“Never thought I'd see you here... It didn't appear in the fortune telling..”
The pudgy wizard Jonet and his curly-haired best friend Santio are waving at the snowfall..
These two were in charge of the Zodiac dispatched to this expedition..
“You two, it's been a while..”
“Ahaha! I already had a hard time because I didn't have enough drinking friends, but I'm glad I met you.!”
As Snowfall spoke with a smile on her face, people who knew Jonet and Santio asked them..
“Who is that friend??”
“Yes, I am a Libra disciple.….”
“what? Libra disciple? … It looks like it's much stronger than a scale.?”
“joy… Libra is also different from the old days. The Zodiac, with only the pillar roots left, is not being ignored because of anyone. Well, I agree that that guy is dangerous, but.”
“Hmm… Then, can I join you later??”
“I looked at the situation….”
Even though they were whispering because they were old people, their voices were so loud that everyone looked at them in confusion..
Among those gathered here, one of the mercenary leaders raised his voice..
“Let’s get on with the meeting first! There's no progress at all because of the noise.!”
“surely….”
When the Golden King showed his power, he stayed quiet for fear of sparks flying, but that was the same for everyone in the room, and it was true that the meeting was not making any progress..
“new year!”
Qiu and Jangdoo's mouths twitched as they watched the snowfall..
It had been such a long time since we had reunited, so there was so much I wanted to say..
The two were shaking their hands and pursed their lips, but as people around them who were dissatisfied with the slow progress of the meeting were glaring, they had no choice but to tap Kang Seol on the shoulder! Instead of expressing it in a way that touches.
“Let’s have a drink later. I have a lot to say.”
“…okay.”
Kang-seol sits in the empty seat near Chi-woo and Jang-du..
The twin knights stood behind him and held their ground..
“then….”
Mael conducted the meeting..
In the meantime, Kang Seol quickly checked whether the names he had checked on the meeting participation list actually participated in the meeting..
‘…golden king hooky.’
She may be the strongest among those present here in terms of sheer strength..
Although Kangseol received information about Fuki's participation in the expedition separately from Mael, it was still quite interesting to encounter a new race called Mesph..
He had so little information about the Golden King that he had no idea whether she would be an enemy or an ally..
‘what… Just be careful..’
For now, the best thing to do is not to be intimidated or arrogant..
Kang Seol took his gaze away from her. When she thought about Fuki's presence, she was overly reserved..
But right now, Snowfall had no time to spare. There was a presence that had to be confirmed before Fuki's presence..
The real reason he came here.
In fact, for Kangseol, the Gorgozia expedition was an opportunity that could not be missed, but it was also important to regain the maintenance of the remaining two horses excluding the horse that challenged the ascension..
When Snowfall left for Gorgozia, if the time spent there was longer than expected, it could take a long time to regain the remaining two horses..
Therefore, he had to choose between maintaining his horse and participating in the expedition to Gorgozia, but a strange thing happened, whether it was heaven's help or a twist of fate..
The stopped arrow moved.
both arrows.
…even in the same direction.
There is a chance they are alive..
Or maybe the immortal was playing a prank.
Snowfall wanted to confirm this fact, but was stuck on the cursed plateau and could not move easily..
And in the meantime, the news of the expedition delivered from Mael contained surprising information..
- Gwynn and Regrif.
It was definitely on the list..
‘…found.’
And now, where he was looking, there were two arrows lined up side by side..
Before the snowfall, a girl with a funny face and a young boy with a cold face expressed their dissatisfaction..
Among them, the girl was grinning while looking at the snowfall..
‘He was alive. … both.’
The girl's side is Legrif, and the child's side is Gwyn. These two were blood-brothers and had their own complicated story..
Snowfall thought they were dead.
Until I meet you here in person.
It was a strange feeling..
I feel like I'm the only one out of all the people gathered here who knows who the culprit is..
‘…strong.’
As far as Kang Seol knows, these two are absolutely not weak. When he had to let go of his siblings, they were both strong, but never at the same level as they are now..
‘Maybe that's what happened….’
Kang Seol looked at the rather large man wearing a robe standing next to the siblings..
A person who seems to be a brother and sister.
‘…who is the author?’
This person also has no information.
Excluding the Golden King, they are the most threatening group..
And the other group…
‘hmm? The author….’
neil the wire.
During the Alkatron expedition, he was a strict mercenary leader who often clashed with Mael..
Sigh…
Neil has been pretending to know.
If you think about it, this expedition was led by Mael, which means that Neil was also invited by Mael..
‘…Did that happen?.’
The two used to be enemies, but that doesn't seem to be the case now..
Kangseol gives the same greeting to Neil and casts his gaze next to him..
‘…Mira Yu?’
The woman who always stayed with Kibo.
It was unclear how she was doing as they had not heard from each other, but the scars on her face revealed that she had not lived a very comfortable life..
Yumira squinted one eye as she looked at the snowfall..
leisurely behavior.
Kang Seol greeted her with a grin..
Viewers were happy to reunite with old friends..
- In case I came late, is it a reunion today??
- Coincidentally, it happened like that..
- I've always dreamed of the love that comes true at a reunion..
- Today I'm going to have a drink with two gentlemen with a lot of hair on their chests next to me..
- This is ridiculous, damn it! stop!
Perhaps because the snowfall came late, the matters decided in the previous discussion were flowing out of Mael's mouth, but now we have moved on to a new discussion..
“There are several uncertainties about this expedition..”
“There are only a few things? That's even more surprising!”
“Foot… Stop it. This is going to kill me.”
“So, what are the uncertainties??”
Mael said, spreading his fingers one by one..
“First, the expedition cannot know what dangers it will encounter during its voyage.”
“hmm… That's what I always do when I'm on a boat….”
“It has not yet been precisely confirmed what the situation is in the waters near Gorgozia. And if you happen to be attacked at sea,….”
“hmm… The Golden King over there will do something about it..”
People looking at Fuki.
The Golden King made no reply. I just wait for Mael’s next words with an expressionless face..
“Second, the expedition likewise does not know what dangers lurk in the New World..”
“what… That's something you have to endure, too. And again?”
“Third, the expedition team cannot trust each other because they do not know each other's true purpose of reaching there..”
“…….”
“…….”
can't trust each other.
It's the same for everyone here..
Investigation of creatures in the New World, geological survey, confirmation of magical torrents, investigation of the cause of the disaster two years ago, exploration of ruins in the New World, etc..
It was possible to make up a lie for any reason. In other words, it is possible for everyone to wear a mask..
“In that case, wouldn't it be okay to form an expedition only with trustworthy people??”
“In order to head to the New World, the Golden King had to lend strength to the expedition. Since that has already happened….”
“Umm….”
The Golden King is a dangerous man whose true intentions are unknown. Just by her joining, the expedition is already carrying a bomb..
“And the problem goes back to the second.”
“Not knowing what’s lurking there… Right.”
“The more strong the better.”
“Now I understand.”
Mael's plan was like this..
The bomb called the Golden King is an indispensable part of the expedition..
This bomb will clear the way to Gorgozia and will soon reach the land..
The moment it touches the ground, the expedition team's position changes. There was a risk that the most powerful being, the Golden King, would take the lead and try to sway the expedition..
However, if the expedition team carries multiple bombs,?
Powerful people from all walks of life were recruited by Mael, including Snow, who is comparable to the Golden King..
If each of them were a bomb, each bomb would not explode easily. Also, the stronger the threat from Gorgozia, the more likely it was that such a situation would continue. There will come a time when we must cooperate because we cannot trust each other..
Snowfall stroked my chin..
‘is it… This must be a bit of a pain in the ass..’
Mael declared.
“From the moment the expedition team sets foot on the New World, nothing can be guaranteed..”
“I'm telling you, I'm supposed to take care of my body. So, is this the end of the issues to be considered??”
“for now….”
It was then.
“There's one more problem.”
A while ago, the robed man who had been by Gwynn and Regriff's side opened his mouth..
Sigh…
Everyone's eyes turned to him who had not opened his mouth the entire time..
“I think this is probably the biggest problem..”
Slurp…
A black tattoo in the shape of an X on his face..
Kang Seol’s mouth twisted when he saw the man’s face..
‘…haha.’
Because I knew right away what the man’s identity was..
“We are not the first to set foot in the new continent..”
“what? Is that really true?!”
“Who crossed over to Gorgozia??”
“A person worthy of it….”
“I can tell. If I approach him like this, he will soon notice me..”
Snowfall was overcome by an ominous feeling that this expedition would not be easy..
“that? Who are you talking about??”
“Don't waste time….”
“thaliade.”
“…….”
“what….”
“How can someone who is known to have passed away come back?….”
the man says.
“Immortal Thaliad. He came back, to this place. i am chasing him.”
“who are you?”
“There is no obligation to reveal that much..”
“Umm….”
“If you don't believe me, listen to someone else's mouth..”
The snowfall sighed..
‘…Shit.’
The author who is in conflict with Kang Seol's words is an envoy led by an immortal. Grabo, the one who glued it on, Visha, the face eater, and finally… Jabil the Executioner.
Jabil, the Executioner, is the name of the author..
Seueuugh…
Jabil's finger pointed to snowfall without a doubt..
“you would know?”
“…….”
“You smell like him. you know him?”
Head turning quickly.
Everyone looked at the snowfall.
Kangseol grinned as if he had given up..
And he responded humorously.
“Everyone knows.”
