31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 557)
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Two gladiators clashed, kicking up sand dust.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The human gladiator scratched the ogre gladiator's pauldron, but the fact that the blade touched the thick armor was not a good situation to begin with..
‘…can never win.’
The two gladiators were significantly different in height. The difference is not at the level of an adult and a child, but between an adult and a chick..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Ogre gladiator hitting the ground with a hammer in one hand.
“Pfft….”
A human gladiator skillfully escapes a shock wave..
Snowfall predicted the fate of this gladiator.
‘I could die.’
The ogres who were watching spoke loudly in their own language..
“Hahaha! It's crushed!”
“It doesn't taste good when it's crushed.!”
“You idiot! I'm not eating it!”
In Kangseol’s opinion, the human gladiator was an unusually skilled person. However, it was not enough to deal with the heavily armed ogre..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Hmm….”
Because of this, clashes occurred several times, but each time it was the human gladiator who was in danger..
Although Kang Seol was a person who did not show his emotions easily, he had no choice but to show his discomfort in the face of unnecessary death..
Naturally, one of his eyebrows furrowed..
Smart noticed the change..
“…Even if something makes you uncomfortable?”
The one who became a blade.
[Smart asks you if you are uncomfortable. You must answer. How would you answer?]
1. Honestly, it's a little uncomfortable.
2. Isn't this unfair? Look at the size difference between the two.!
3. no, nothing.
4. Do you enjoy this barbaric culture? After all, ogres are low-class and shameless..
……
Kang Seol realized that depending on how he answered, the life of the gladiator who became a spectacle in the arena was decided..
“…no.”
“…….”
Kaaaaang-!
Kaaaang!
During our conversation, the situation improved considerably..
The human gladiator was actually pushing the ogre gladiator..
but.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The ogre gladiator stomped his feet, kicked up dust, and swung his hammer..
Ughhhhh-!
The hammer struck the human gladiator's sword face with precision..
stop! The words soared up to Kang Seol’s throat..
“Oooooh!”
The red light in the ogre's eyes flashed, and its fist aimed at the gladiator..
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Whioooooooooooo…
“…….”
“…….”
The ogre's fist stopped before it reached the gladiator. The evil glow that had been lingering in the guy's eyes, revealing his life, also disappeared at some point..
black and large pupils.
The pupil was looking down at the human..
The game is over.
Smart said.
“To you, we still… Are you friends? or not….”
His cold eyes reached Kang Seol..
“Is it a beast??”
The ogre gladiator extends his massive, crude hand to the fallen gladiator..
This is an unexpected result that is difficult to understand..
Ttuktuk turned around and said to Kang Seol who was still sitting..
“How much do you really know about us? About us that even we don't really know... how much can you understand?”
Is it a blade or a handle?.
Also, I don't know.
“Tymolon is a pretty good place. Take your time and look around.”
* * *
The rotten butt led the snowfall and left the arena..
“…Are you surprised??”
“Can I be honest??”
“It's okay to lie.”
“I still can't believe it.”
“what point?”
“that fist.”
A fist swung towards a defeated gladiator. the fist stopped.
“You expected it to be a mess.?”
“…you're right.”
“me too.”
“…yes?”
“Oh, I watched it with just as much excitement. Ahaha….”
“I lost my wildness….”
“well… To be precise, I think it's an attempt to control the wild nature... Of course, this is a presumptuous judgment on my part. Please forgive me.”
“I can govern. hmm….”
“Let’s eat first. There is a good store that operates outdoors..”
“Are you saying there is a store for humans??”
“of course… This is a store for ogres. You haven't forgotten that this is Tymolon.?”
Sweet and sticky smell that irritates the nose.
A store with a huge table and huge chairs. And the chef leads the way from a high place like a watchtower..
patter…
“You idiot! What if I already put it in?!”
“Oooh….”
A hired interpreter relayed the ogre's excuse..
“‘'I told you to put it in'.”
“When it boils! Add it when it boils! There's no movement yet!”
“right? Ugh….”
“‘'Oh, I see.'.”
“What is ‘that’s right’! Ugh, my stomach is bursting… . Hey, Subhan! Come here and tell these ogres you are here. The vegetables may come out a little crushed..”
“All right. Ooh, ooh, ooh!”
The sight of the interpreter conveying the chef's message in ogre language caught Kang Seol's interest..
“Oooooh! Wow!”
The interpreter said, the vegetables will fall apart..
“Ugh?”
Ogre said they added vegetables.?
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The ogre next to him said, the cook is an idiot.!
The chef waited and asked.
“What do they say?”
“‘Dear Chef, we don't really like vegetables.'….”
“…These guys don't know what respect is. Don't tell the truth?”
“Don't put vegetables in my food.”
Phew.…
I ended up bursting out laughing as I listened to the rotten ass exchange. When she smiled, even Snowfall couldn't help but smile..
“They say there is no food in my store that doesn't contain vegetables! Isn't the poop smelling bad because they only stuff meat into it every day?!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The interpreter said, vegetables cannot be left out. Be quiet before you throw them in the pot instead of the vegetables..
The rotten butt whispered to Kangseol.
“I guess the interpreter's wages have been delayed..”
“I guess so..”
tatak…
“Tsk… car.”
The chef seemed to have some free time and approached the place where the snowfall was..
“I haven't seen this guy around here, but he doesn't seem to be a new slave.….”
“this person is….”
Before the rotten ass could explain about snowfall, he changed the topic..
“Owner, how long have you been staying here??”
“long time? Let’s see… We arrived just as the walls of Tymolon were just beginning to rise. Oh, wait. The food hasn't even arrived yet.?”
After a while, the chef said something and quickly prepared the food we ordered..
“What was that thing you were talking about earlier? ah! When I first came here, I thought I was dead. I was disheartened that since I was sold as a slave, I would end up here as ogre fodder..”
“If you don't mind, why did I become a slave?….”
“A little debt from playing... Not much, just a little….”
“…….”
The rotten butt whispered to Kangseol.
“I haven't quit yet….”
“Quiet! I hung up! When did you last quit? hey! It's burning! there! Ride! keep stirring!”
“Ugh….”
“I'm stirring it.”
“When you say you're stirring, stir more!”
“I think you'll be angry.”
“Then don't say it. Say it to yourself. Hmmm.”
The chef asked Kang Seol.
“Hey, you don't like it here?”
“…Does it look like that?”
“I feel like I'm making an expression that says I don't like it..”
I was not happy about a world full of ogres. I didn't deny it, but I realized I didn't welcome it either..
“please… Something… It feels frustrating.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! I know what it is. No, everyone who lives here has probably experienced the same feeling at least once. Let’s stay still, at some point it will break… really… These are all fun memories. Ah, I remembered.”
The chef excitedly told the story as if he had thought of an interesting story..
“It's the day I threw away my slavery. Was it about a year ago? It will be that day. It was crowded with ogres..”
“I remember too.”
The chef nods his head when the rotten butt speaks..
“Yes, you were there too. We ran out of all the ingredients we prepared that day, and if it weren't for the guys from other stores who rushed over to us, we would have been eaten by the ogres..”
“It was really dangerous.….”
“He also drank a lot of alcohol. I drank more alcohol in one drink than I drank in my entire life.….”
“You're not even drunk.….”
“If you get drunk, you'll be in big trouble?”
If an ogre with a huge body gets an injection, then it will be a really big problem..
The chef said, remembering that time.
“One guy said that.”
- don't go. taste… there is.
“…….”
- Here it is. I'll give you money.
“Puhahaha! Are there any other insulting words like that? You knew I liked money. I just wanted to get away from this boring life. Is it pure or stupid?….”
Because of what happened that day.
“So, that's left. I understood what he said..”
The ogre who grabbed the chef had been practicing those two words for that day. in human language.
“It's stupid, but I don't hate it..”
“Are you talking about these people??”
“Yes, I think relationships are mostly decided by ‘nevertheless’ and ‘necessarily’..”
The chef seemed to have a lot of experience, so he led the conversation without getting bored..
“Do I really need to stick around with these mud-smelling guys? Do I really need to talk to people whose poop smells so bad? Do I really have to live in this city full of inconveniences??”
The moment a relationship goes beyond ‘necessary’, ‘nevertheless’ comes..
“…Still, I want to stay here. Take your time and look around, this city is especially nice when the sun goes down. Once you've eaten everything, pay and leave. this… hey! Stir it!”
“Ugh….”
strange.
It's truly bizarre.
The rotten butt continued to show various parts of the city with snowfall..
people who stay here.
People who live here without any problems.
“I asked where I saw it!”
Someone caught a snowfall in the district where the city's artisans gather.
‘…dwarf?’
Since there were many former slaves in the city, people of different races were often seen. However, the dwarf who pretended to know was a bit unexpected..
“You fought a giant! That time still comes to me in my dreams.!”
“…Are you really from paradise??”
“Of course, what are you talking about??”
“It's obvious….”
“Most of the dwarves living here are from paradise, right? That's right….”
Rotten Ass put his index finger to his mouth. That made the dwarf flinch..
Kang Seol also noticed her behavior, but didn’t take issue with it..
Because the doubts have been resolved.
Now I know.
Why was Tymolon capable of possessing high-level fortification technology and arming the ogres with high-quality weapons?.
Because of the dwarves in paradise.
they are here.
“Where is everyone? You are the only dwarf I have met here..”
“Of course, there is no place on earth other than the craftsman Earth.….”
“…ground?”
“Hey hey….”
The rotten ass has a demonic expression..
“ah… Well, this and that. Anyway, I'm busy! Go quickly!”
“Let's go! Before the sun sets! Come on!”
She diligently pulled the snowfall and guided him to the most prominent place in the city..
A shape that narrows as it goes up.
aka high tower.
“…Strangers are wary of everything. From one to ten. During the day you were a stranger... I wonder what you are like at night.”
“If you're going to make fun of me, you'd better stop..”
“How could I be the king’s guest…? It's just fun to watch the changes.”
There is no device for a normal ogre to climb to the top of the castle. Instead, there was a mechanical device of just the right size for Smart to use..
Drurrrrr…
Snowfall and a woman on a mechanical device.
‘That's amazing. in this short time….’
I can understand if it was made by a dwarf..
Capital city and city.
“We're all here.”
Daejeon was open.
Feeling like I'm touching the sky.
city in the sunset.
The snowfall slowly reached Daejeon and the sunset looked up at the sky..
“It's been a while.”
A voice I've heard before.
When Snowfall turned around, someone smiled at him..
“Barmion!”
I wondered where the dwarves of Paradise had disappeared to, but if Bamion is here, they must be in Tymolon..
“Hahahaha! You're alive, cancer! There's no way you're dead.”
“How did you get here….”
“Because I lost my hometown. It's also a good opportunity.”
Sigh…
Kang Seol’s gaze shifted to someone..
“How was the city??”
smart.
Bamion took a step back and stood next to Ttukgi, as if our recollection was for later..
Bamion's attitude seems to recognize Smarty as a great leader and equal to them..
I hated the slight unfamiliarity that came from that attitude. Kang Seol hated himself for feeling such unfamiliarity..
“I am….”
Kang Seol wanted to confess these things honestly..
It's strange.
I'm sure I'm feeling strange.
“I think you can tell just by looking at their expressions. I guess it was quite shocking..”
“…Honestly, that's right.”
“Thank you.”
“…Thank you, what on earth??”
Ttukgi's answer was surprising, but I soon found out why..
“you… That I didn't lie.”
“…….”
“Isn't that strange? Humans have lived by considering themselves the rulers of civilization and the pinnacle of reason. To stand shoulder to shoulder with beasts that look different from them and have been taboo... Of course it's uncomfortable. It should be uncomfortable.”
Kang Seol noticed that Ddukduk’s attitude was different from the day. He spoke his thoughts without hesitation, as if the previous questions or looks were merely testing him..
“This city, this country, imagined while covered in tree dust... It's my dream.”
“You mean ogres and humans get along??”
“We recognize each other as equals, and one day even the boundaries will become blurred. If it comes, I won't have to hesitate to choose..”
“select?”
“I cursed my large body to be a human, and I cursed my small body to be a beast..”
This was the inferiority complex that led him to his current position after his birth..
“I am… I wanted to become human.”
“…….”
“Not animals, but humans. It's okay to laugh at me.”
“…I won't laugh at you.”
This is not a lie either.
“I am… I've been waiting for you here. I heard your story when Khan's people came to my country with pride and stood in front of me and trembled..”
“…….”
“I knew one day you'd be here instead of them.”
“Why did you wait for me??”
Smart put up his fingers one by one.
“First, they alone are not enough to drive out disaster. What is more important than timing is possibility. If you don't wake up, or if a strong person like you doesn't appear, you will realize that everything was in vain when you reach the high point..”
Sigh…
The second finger is spread out.
“Second, give this place to you… I wanted to show you the night here.”
Suddenly, the sunset disappeared and darkness covered the city..
Huh-!
When Smart sent a signal by swinging his hand horizontally, the city responded.
crackling…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“…oh my god.”
A scenery so beautiful that you can't help but admire it. The lights spread throughout the city expressed the beauty of light, as if a starry night sky existed on earth as well..
“Humans have ruled the night with light. A city full of lights is a symbol of reason and domination built by humans. I do that too... I wanted to show you that I could do it. I… Did you do it well??”
Kang Seol looked at him with an expressionless expression..
Because I felt like I had to give an important answer..
Sigh…
Ttukgi's third finger spread out.
“Lastly, I would like to ask you.”
“…also.”
“I am a beast born from sand and mud. He stole people's books, stole their knowledge, and ended up idolizing them in a superficial way. Their teachings denied anything other than wisdom and reason..”
Ttuk-tuk tells Kang-seol about the doubts that have sprouted inside him..
“There is a wild nature inside me, in this heart. Define me as a beast. But my reason clearly tells me that I am closer to human.”
thud…
thud…
He approached Snowfall.
“human! How arrogant you are! By forcing us to be human by the boundaries you have set, you need us as beasts. How contradictory this is!”
“…….”
“If you are! If you've been watching me, no one in this world, not even me, can answer... I hope you can answer my question….”
Irregular.
If the world wasn't about to end, he would definitely have gotten his hands on it.
“I am… Should it be a human or an animal?.”
“…….”
“That's probably why you came to see me! What do we want from you?!”
I learned about snowfall.
Now, I have the answer.
“I need help… Friend.”
“…….”
“I can't define you. you… I'm just smart.”
“…Right.”
“I came to ask my friend for help.”
Defining existence cannot be done by anyone else..
At this moment, Smart cannot avoid making a choice. about one's own existence.
“okay… In the end... I guess so.”
Whoa whoa…
He waved his arm, and the city lights disappeared..
“listen.”
“Ugh….”
“Whoa whoa….”
The ogres looked up at the high tower..
Smart waved his arm in the opposite direction..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
That moment.
Grumbling…
Torches were lit throughout the city..
A small difference and a big difference.
Smart says.
“It's war. An old friend found us..”
“…….”
“now….”
“Ugh….”
The ogres' eyes turned red..
“It's time to go back to being a beast..”
The ogres roared..
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Wow!”
