31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 67)
The voice heard in the dark was clearly a woman's voice..
“know me?”
“Chao, a shadow summoner from Kongori. Isn't it??”
“It looks like you did a lot of research. Although I stayed in Kongori for a while, I am not from there. Well, anyway, nice to meet you. your name is?”
“snowman.”
“That's a name I've never heard of. It's unfair. You know my name but I've never heard yours.”
Jeez. Jeopuk.
Chao walked slowly in the dark..
pot-!
Then, suddenly, her new form disappeared before her eyes and appeared in front of Kang Seol. It was amazing speed..
Chao stretched out his fist, and there was snow in its trajectory..
grasp-!
Her fist was caught in Karen's hand..
Karen laughed..
“You're so naughty, girl.”
“like! That's a nice shadow.”
Sreuk.
Chao slowly pulled out his fist that was caught in Karen's hand. Karen also let her go without much resistance..
‘Karen was discovered to be a shadow..’
Ordinary people may not know, but it seems like it would have been too much to fool an experienced shadow summoner..
Jiang Xue questioned Chao's actions..
“Why are you doing this??”
“I'm just curious about this and that.”
Chao turned around and talked..
“However, the homeowner also comes in through the window, but the uninvited guests boldly break down the door. It's such a strange world.”
Chao found out that Karen broke the door..
“Why don't you come in the door?”
“I lost my keys.”
“yes?”
“Judging by the reaction, I can't even tell a joke. There are people chasing me. It's become a habit to leave no traces, so... That's it.”
Kang Seol calmly told her his business..
“I just thought you were missing..”
“Oh, did you happen to stop by the Dark Harbinger? Somehow, that explains why you know me. By any chance, you're from Kongori?”
“Not now though.”
“It must have been the staff there who sent you. These friends are very cruel, really... But what should I do with this??”
Chao's eyes flashed in the darkness..
“I have no intention of going back to Kongori anymore..”
“…this.”
“That's right, coming all the way here was in vain. congratulations!”
Kang Seol responded calmly to Chao's half-mocking congratulations..
“it's okay. All I have to do is convey the news anyway..”
“…That's not why you came to me?”
“There is a saying that it is both a business and a business..”
“what do you want?”
Chao began to watch out for snowfall.
Although she has some skills, I thought she was a clumsy person, but it was a natural reaction for her to see that she was hiding something else..
“Don't be on guard. I didn't approach you with malicious intent..”
“…What?”
“I was blocked by a wall of enlightenment. I need your help.”
“ah! That was it?”
wall of enlightenment.
When the player exceeds level 10 and goes to a job training center in each city, this option appears..
- [Required: Shadow Summoner, Wall of Enlightenment] I heard there is a Shadow Summoner here.]
Yes.
A phrase that was the starting point of Kang Seol's search for Chao comes to mind..
If the player is blocked by the wall of enlightenment, his or her abilities will not grow. At this time, even if you visit a vocational training center to strengthen your abilities, your abilities will not be strengthened..
‘Growth is blocked by the wall of enlightenment..’
Snowfall has just reached level 11 through this adventure. It was impossible to strengthen one's skills by going to a vocational training center..
Because if he goes to a vocational training center, he won't be able to come up with a skill tree..
Those who can help with that are skilled experts..
Here, skilled experts are veterans of each profession..
For example, they were people like Chao, who is now in front of Kang Seol..
They help break down the walls of enlightenment, but they also make a variety of annoying requests..
By the extremely simple logic that I help you, you should help me too..
Now, it seemed like Chao had just thought of that too..
“hmm… What should I do? I’m a person who doesn’t have much time. Can't I find another friend??”
“I wish you knew how many months I spent trying to find that place..”
“huh? It's been that long?”
Snowfall relayed to Chao what had happened from the day she first visited the mansion until now, leaving out what needed to be added and adding what needed to be added..
Chao listened quietly and then burst into laughter..
“what? You went there all? Hahaha... You are truly a masterpiece.?”
“Why did you steal the lyrics guidance device??”
“I just brought it out.”
“Anyway.”
“I have something to use. in my research.”
“Chao's research?”
“Hmm… Now that I think about it, this shadow… It can't be that body?”
Snowfall shrugged her shoulders.
I thought it would be useless to hide it, so I shrugged my shoulders and expressed positivity..
“like… Somehow, I said I was strong..”
“Ciao, please give me the answer..”
“Wait, I need to give myself time to think. Why are you so impatient when you don’t even think about taking up other people’s precious time??”
Just, just right.
Chao muttered, biting his nails..
“So, isn’t that also possible? No, if you make a mistake, you will have a time problem... Still once….”
“Chao?”
“I decided. good.”
“Are you helping me??”
“of course.”
- Negotiation, dramatic settlement.
- (Wipe off your sweat) Let’s go have a cheap beer!
- This is how I help you?
“step! You'll have to help me first..”
“Tell me.”
“Do you have any recent work??”
“I have to go to Shadow Canyon in a month..”
“hmm… okay?”
“why are you like that?”
“If it's around there... Okay, I can leave him to you..”
She took out a scroll and art supplies from her arms and started writing and drawing..
Some pictures were born in an instant.
A grumpy-looking human face, colored pill bottles, and ominous phrases.
“ruler! receive.”
“What an amazing talent..”
“There are many more amazing talents in other areas. Take it, my arm hurts.”
Zech-
[Obtained Chao's Scroll.]
“What is this?”
“Instructions. You said you were going to Shadow Canyon in a month.?”
“yes.”
“When do you think the work will end??”
“I do not know.”
“I don't even know the basics?”
“I think it will take at least a month and at least 15 days..”
“Okay, that's perfect. Once you're done in the canyon, just do as the scroll says..”
“After that?”
“Come back to Novira. within at least three months.”
“Can I come to the mansion??”
“Yeah, when I get back, I hang a white cloth on the main gate pillar and check this place every midnight..”
“how about you?”
“If there are no problems, I will be back within three months. If you don't come back, there's that room.?”
It was the room that was assumed to be Chao's laboratory..
“Set fire to that room.”
“Are you telling me to become a criminal??”
“I'll get caught?”
“Don't get caught.”
“That's it then.”
“Why are you telling me to start a fire??”
“If you don't understand the meaning of the fire, then we are not meant to be. Go find another summoner.”
“…What is it? Aren’t you just wasting time??”
Kang Seol noticed that Chao was quite stagey..
And doubts began to arise in my mind, ‘Do I really need to hang myself?’.
“Well, that's right. So how about doing it like this??”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Her momentum expanded..
A clean and solid energy that gives a feeling of majesty..
Kang Seol looked at her with surprised eyes..
‘He is strong!’
I thought Chao was just a moderately strong summoner in the city, but after seeing her strength, I changed my opinion..
She twisted her mouth and spat out a sentence.
“I was once a student of Gregory.”
“Gregory!”
Gregory.
Among the numerous shadow summoners, the one who showed unrivaled progress.
A devil-like person whose name is proudly mentioned even by the powerful people of the world..
‘Chao was Gregory's student.?’
Kang Seol blamed herself for not noticing the treasure in front of her..
“Normally, I wouldn't have sold that old man's name even if he died, but the situation is urgent so I have no choice. Now is there any reason why I should be the one you need to be taught??”
Kang Seol answered her with eyes full of firm faith..
“Well, see you then..”
“You are an honest friend. good!”
[A drug adventure is planned to make you fall asleep.]
* * *
“why are you so excited?”
“Yes it seems?”
“huh. Ever since I saw that little woman earlier, I feel like I've been listening to her mouth..”
“what? It can't be like that..”
When Kang Seol tried to find the mirror in the dorm, Karen stopped him with a gesture full of laughter..
“I just tried it..”
“…Anyway, I wasn't that excited..”
“Are you excited? Is it Gregory or something that is the reason for his restlessness??”
“I can't say no.”
“What kind of person is this??”
“name. He's pretty far ahead of me on the path I walk..”
“Hmm… I'd like to take a look. But that disciple thing has something to do with you.?”
“maybe? I hope there is.”
“What, I thought it was confirmed again.”
“Everyone has a plan..”
“Oh my! You won't tell me?”
Jamard, who was trying to sleep in the shadow space, shouted.
“Let's be quiet! How long are you going to be noisy?!”
“Ugh… That's why I listen to the old man. Trolls sleep a lot. All the trolls I know were diligent. How does the world really work?….”
“Argh! please!”
Karen must have had fun teasing Jamard, so she giggled and joked around before falling asleep..
Nevertheless, Snowfall could not fall asleep..
It was because my mind was complicated..
‘If you are Gregory's disciple... He must have better abilities than a typical shadow summoner..’
Have a good teacher.
It was a word widely used in Pandea..
Whether it is talent or ability, a good teacher can impart good abilities or improve the efficiency of minimum abilities..
Even if you use the same magic, if you learn it from a better teacher, you are more likely to use the ability with higher efficiency..
‘It's purely a gamble, but if she can at least pass down Gregory's seasons,?’
season or vision.
Just like a special move, it was an ability of extremely rare value, such as the use of equipment, for example..
If you were a disciple of a famous summoner like Gregory, wouldn't it have been essential to learn one or two of those seasons?.
And if that season extends to you.
‘No, that's not likely. Don't expect anything. I should be satisfied if I can at least improve efficiency..’
How to be disappointed when you have expectations.
Still, I couldn't help but think about it again and again..
‘The difficulty level of Chao's related adventures was enormous. Definitely not an ordinary person.’
Snowfall was tossing and turning.
Chao wasn't the only thought that kept him from sleeping..
‘Shadow Canyon… It's been a while since I stopped by.’
This was a thought I put off during the day..
When his next adventure took him to Shadow Canyon, someone came to mind..
‘Kiri, yes. Was the last one you went to was Kiri??’
Among the horses he played, the last horse he saw in Shadow Canyon was Kiri..
His character had the profession of a bird of prey hunter..
Although Kang Seol had many characters, he never forgot a single word..
Apparently, when I thought about Shadow Canyon during the day, it was because of Kiri that I felt negative emotions..
‘is it. Because of Kiri.’
Because Kiri died there..
there was no other reason.
‘Okay, I decided to go there, so why bother thinking about what to do now?.’
In addition, countless other thoughts prevented Kang Seol from sleeping. He had a lot on his mind, and this night was a very long one..
next day.
As soon as morning came, someone woke up Snowfall, who had barely fallen asleep at dawn..
“master! wake up!”
“Umm….”
“I think there's a bakery in front of here. When you open the window in the morning, it smells! It's a problem, it's a problem!”
It was Karen who shook him awake..
Kang Seol asked her with tired eyes..
“so?”
“If it smells that bad, it means there's some serious secret hidden there..”
“For example?”
“It's delicious or something….”
“…Karen, I can taste it.?”
“Didn't I tell you? I think my five senses are the same. It also works well for satiety! Well, is there such a miracle??”
“You suddenly look happy.”
“huh! It's exciting! Hurry up and get dressed! Before I kick your ass! Someone else is buying it! ah! That's what I guessed! Should I kill him??”
“Hold on. Have good eyes too.”
Just when Kangseol was smiling and putting on his clothes, unable to resist her annoyance, someone knocked on the door..
smart.
“Snowman.”
“who are you?”
“This is a messenger from Kibo..”
Snowfall and Karen’s eyes crossed..
Anyway, from the answer.
“Yes, what about business??”
“Kibo is waiting below. He asked me to tell him that he wanted to talk to me..”
Kangseol looked back at Karen..
And shook my head.
She cried and said to herself.
“my bread….”
