31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 97)
Karen blinked and asked back at Snowfall's shout..
“You're mad at me now?”
“No, it would be a bit difficult to open it now..”
“okay?”
When you open the box, there is a time limit that is separate from the adventure time limit..
If you use up the newly created time limit or press End Adventure, you will be moved to the base..
‘Then it's dangerous.’
The current snowfall base was Audenine..
It wouldn't have mattered if I set up a base in Kongori on the way up north, but I skipped it because I planned to set up Gulia as a base..
So his base is still Audenin, far away from here..
‘When the expedition system is activated, it is sent to Audenine..’
Considering how easy it was for him to travel long distances and how much trouble he went through, the transfer to Audenin must have been hell..
To begin with, I still had business to do in Nobira..
Kangseol put his hand on Karen’s shoulder and said.
“Let's go to Gulia and check it out..”
“Okay, then.”
Karen whined and tried to carry the box..
“It's a bit big?”
“Move over, fairy. I won't pay.”
Jamard carried the brimstone skull trophy on his shoulder..
“oh… thank you.”
“egg plant.”
Snowfall hurriedly set off to make the most of the remaining time..
They still had work left to do..
Snow and his party quickly left the ruined fire altar and headed back the way they came..
Soon after, they were able to re-enter Nevenia's walls through the Crypt of the Sulfur Skull, which allowed them to cross the border without passing through Gulia..
patter…
Mael mumbling in an unknown language.
And after a while.
Kwajajajajajajag-!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The crypt completely collapsed and dust rose up..
Because they knew in advance that it would collapse, Mael and Kangseol and the others escaped the crypt and there were no injuries..
“Is this what happened??”
“I don't know how he knew, but the Sulfur Skull took advantage of the soft ground here to make a hole in the barrier. However, the crypt has completely collapsed and it will take several months to rebuild..”
“Until then, Gulia will be on guard..”
“First, I gave word to the people heading to Gulia, so they will tell it to you..”
Since I had never crossed the border, I didn't know that if I headed straight from Yognathun to Gulia, I would be accused of crossing the border at will..
However, if you come inside the wall and head to Gulia, everything will be resolved..
“Now my role is done..”
“Mael. thanked.”
“It was thanks to Snowman that I was able to go out into the world like this. You don't need to thank me. Then I guess I'll have to go..”
“Are you planning to go right away??”
“Now that my concerns have been resolved, there is no reason to stay..”
“Where do you plan on going??”
“well… Perhaps we could leave Nevenia and head west. It is said that new historical sites are being excavated recently..”
“You are still the same. Can I see you again next time??”
Mael answered with a grin..
“of course. I will be there whenever you need help. That is, as long as my fortune-telling and astronomy-reading skills are not rusty. It's convenient, but sometimes it goes astray.”
“See you later, Mael..”
“Yes, see you again. Snowman.”
Mael once again disappeared somewhere carrying a bag full of herbs and various miscellaneous books..
He may have looked shabby at first glance, but now no one could doubt his strength..
“I got a lot of help. He was a decent guy..”
“Because I have eyes to see.”
Snowfall and the party headed to Gulia after sending Mael away..
* * *
A few days later, north of Nevenia, Gulia's border post.
Guards who looked a little relaxed shouted at visitors approaching the guard post..
“stop!”
The guards were curious about the identity of the somewhat unusual visitors. The visitor was Karen carrying a large box wrapped in snow and cloth..
“Yo, fairy?”
Karen's temporary ID card, which she made using Kibo's power while staying in Nobira, was a great help in this case..
“There's nothing wrong.”
Karen also made it over safely, so there was no way Snow Seol could have stopped her..
“Well, there's nothing wrong with this one either. Since I am sure of your identity, I will not even check your luggage..”
“thank you.”
“But the rumor has already spread.?”
“yes? what do you mean by that?”
“The rumor that the Sulfur Skull was defeated in vain. Perhaps because of that, until the day before yesterday, the number of travelers who had recently visited this place could be counted on one hand, but since yesterday people have been pouring in..”
It seemed like the survivors had arrived in Gulia and had surrounded it well..
“ah… Yes, roughly.”
“Rumors travel so quickly. Well, anyway, Patrick is still looking for adventurers he can trust and entrust with tasks, so take a good look..”
Kangseol smiled brightly..
“thank you then.”
So, the snowfall arrived in Gulia in time..
Karen, who was the first to settle down and put down the large box, got nervous..
thud.
“It's so heavy, ugh..”
“Hey, it's just from the Gulia entrance to the accommodation. I carried it from Yognathun to Gulia..”
Jamad spoke in the shadow space of snowfall.
“anyway! But with Mael gone, it feels like the group has drastically decreased..”
“Is it a pity??”
Karen answered, smoothing her now red hair..
“Is there anything to regret? It's obvious.”
“Still, I plan to go to Xiamen with Novira, so it won't be lonely..”
“That guy is so calm that I can't get enough of him. And in the first place, it's full even if no one else goes with you. There are 4 people. Right, Karuna?”
“If Karen speaks a little less, no one will know there are four of us..”
“Tsk tsk tsk… right! Because this fairy talks about servings for four..”
“Ugh… I won't talk from now on.”
“That's the 5th time today.”
“Don't count! Damn you troll!”
Even though there were only summoned animals around except for the snowfall, the dorm was buzzing..
If anyone heard this noise, they would never imagine that Kangseol's room was the only room he was using..
“Now, you can open it..”
“I thought I was dying because I wanted to open it.?”
“It's a shame that Karuna kept restraining you, otherwise that fairy would have opened it while you were sleeping..”
“Didn’t we make it a rule not to report on our owner??”
“Were there any rules like that? Don't be self-respectful.”
Kangseol is not some kind of talk show, but I thought it was amazing to watch them argue and even set rules..
Anyway, there was a reason why Snowfall came all the way to Gulia without opening the Sulfur Skull trophy..
If you unlock the Sulfur Skull trophy, not only will the time limit be reduced, but there was a risk of moving to Audenine, the snowfall base, rather than nearby Gulia..
Therefore, he planned to designate Gulia as a base and then open the loot box..
Karen raised her hand like a student asking a teacher a question..
“master! I! I can open it?”
“okay.”
Clap-
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Light came from the loot box..
What's unusual is that, unlike usual, the box is very large..
[Check the Sulfur Skull Chest.]
[Your level rises.]
[Your level rises.]
[Gain ability points.]
[Gain ability points.]

[Gain additional ability points.]
[Gain additional ability points.]
[Obtain the Gaiters of Rapid Recovery.]

……
There were a lot more items than usual.
“and… Was there this much stuff in it? It was somehow heavy.!”
“I mean, I brought the box, fairy..”
“Even though I held it for a while, it was heavy..”
- Congratulations on other people’s work lol
- Karuna! Stop it!
Since he had to leave for Novira soon with Xiamen, Kang Seol quickly checked the items..
First, Cloak of Long Sleep and Greaves of Quick Recovery..
Since these two were rare, I gave them to Karuna and Karen..
Also, leather boots and heavy armor boots were dropped one by one..
Although these two were treasure grade, they were literally basic equipment with no special powers..
Of course, the leather boots went to Jamard, and I thought about the heavy armor boots for a while..
‘I guess Karuna is right..’
Actually, it didn't really matter whether it was Karen or Karuna, but Karen had quite a bit of equipment from the last adventure, and most of Karuna's equipment was old, except for the sword, so that was the decision..
And next came the ring..
[ring of grace]
Grade: Treasure
appropriate level : 17 – 29
resistance : 35
stamina : 70/70
Weight: 0.1kg
A ring made in hopes of Purga's grace..
However, the ingredients used are extremely sinister..
Base Abilities: Wisdom + 12 Stamina + 6
Special Ability: Deflects a curse once per day.
Perfect option for attaching to a ring.
Uniquely, up to two rings could be worn, so Snow Seol wore this ring next to the wolf's warning..
All that's left now are 2 items.
Snowfall looked at the remaining items with anticipation..
[fire snake]
Grade: Treasure
appropriate level : 30 – 35
offense power : 70 - 87
stamina : 120/120
Weight: 8.0kg
A blade famous for being a weapon used by the fiery Magra..
Because it has a unique appearance and a difficult attack method, there are very few people who can properly handle it. Because it is made from a fire spirit stone, the user's energy slowly seeps into the weapon, and as a result, it contains the essence of Magra..
Base Abilities: Strength + 15 Dexterity + 7 Stamina + 5
Special ability: When an accurate attack is successful, a seal of flame is placed on the enemy. The seal of flame stacks up to 10, and for each stack, additional fire damage is inflicted upon a successful attack..
“hmm….”
Snowfall frowned..
Treasure grade weapons have always boasted excellent performance..
But this was only true if it was an ordinary weapon..
Kang Seol briefly heard the fire snake..
‘heavy.’
Since Karen has high strength, it was clear that she could easily handle such a weapon, but it was still a bit disappointing..
Additionally, the unusual appearance was also a problem..
The snake had such a unique appearance that I thought that if an unfamiliar person handled it, they would have all their fingers cut off..
‘I wonder how Magra handled this so lightly..’
Are all legendary level monsters like that?.
Karen gazed thoughtfully at this ambiguous object..
A unique weapon used by Magra.
can she handle this.
“I'll keep it for now. I can handle spears too, but this is my first time seeing something like this.….”
- Look, no one told me to have it..
- Don't take it like you're being generous.;;
- It’s shameless lol
Since there was no proper use for it anyway, Karen took the snake without any disagreement..
and last.
Snowfall held a cloak with a unique pattern in her hand..
The moment he lifted the cloak, he realized that the energy on the cloak was not ordinary, and the engraved pattern also felt familiar..
‘Purga?’
It was a pattern that looked exactly like the face of the fire monkey Purga..
“uh? that….”
“Hey, be careful. I feel a strange energy.”
The summoned beasts were making strange noises..
When Kangseol tilted his head and checked the information on this cloak, everyone, including him, was surprised..
What was most surprising among them were the viewers..
- hey;; It's a true story?
- He suddenly appears here?
- I'm going to be amazed ㅅㅂ hahahahaha
- Somehow I understand it and it makes me even more angry haha.
- Honestly, it was worth coming out. Otherwise?
- Even if you form a raid and beat it, it's a boring adventure, but you beat it all by yourself haha.
- Voila! Not all of our friends have forgotten that Magra was a legendary monster.?
The reason they were so surprised was no different..
“fire… annual expenditure?”
The cloak with Purga's face drawn on it was considered to be a non-exclusive item..
Snowfall quickly read the information on the cloak..
