The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 188
Episode 188
The fruit that Ur bit into was clearly different from other fruits in size and color.
“what’s this?”
“It’s obvious. Originally, it would have been a fruit that could only be harvested when the tree grew further. “This body, the root, appeared with it.”
“Hmm…”
“Are you doubting this fruit now?”
“No, that’s not it. “I’m afraid there might be some side effects.”
“Puhuh… I’m worried a lot. You don’t have to worry as long as I’m with you. Even if a problem arises, you can quickly find a solution.”
Snowfall checked the fruit that Ur had brought.
[Passive: Surprise Appearance (Composite)]
– The creature affects the abilities of the summoner and his pet. The deeper your connection with creation, the stronger and more frequent the effect.
‘Creations affect abilities?’
Ur explained further.
“Unlike summons, creatures have limited abilities. “Instead, they are much freer than summoned animals when it comes to materialization.”
“You mean to take advantage of that?”
“okay. You’ll get a much more anomalous weapon. “Of course, you and your summons too.”
Panting…
Coco sticks her head out of the shadows and flicks her tongue.
Kang Seol took in that image for a moment and then nodded.
He took the fruit of the blood-stained shadow as is.
[Passive: Awakens Surprise Appearance (composite).]
[Spends 16 ability points.]
[Construction now affects the abilities of the summoner and the pet.]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
Consumes a huge amount of ability points.
Kang Seol felt a goosebump as if a bunch of cash was being taken out of her wallet.
Even so, I wasn’t worried.
Thanks to my title, I will be able to recover quickly.
‘Now that summoning is on a certain track, it’s not a bad idea to diversify growth methods.’
If the creatures were strengthened, it would not be a bad thing for Kang Seol since it would increase the number of weapons he had.
Ur later obtained one more fruit.
[Passive: Awaken to joy and sorrow.]
[Uses 6 ability points.]
[Communication with creatures gained through adventure is greatly increased.]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
Snowfall is hereby Other abilities have also been released to support the surprise appearance ability.
‘Abilities related to creatures take up a lot of ability points.’
This was because the power of creating creatures itself was a higher power.
Kang Seol knew this, so he didn’t complain or anything.
Slurp…
After finishing his work, Ur came down from the tree and returned to Kangseol.
“Now that the area in which creatures can operate has expanded, they will act on their own without you forcing them.”
In any case, after confirming Ur’s amazing ability to climb up and down the ability tree without any problems, Snowfall’s future growth was guaranteed.
A remote place in Timbrian.
No one expected that secret growth would occur here.

(New)[‘Transfer Hunter”s post]
[Posting date: just now]
[Title: Native cubs are about to hit their solar plexus;;] They
‘re targeting good fighters and committing atrocities;; Are there no natives you can trust?
– Stop the transference and hatred!
– It’s really scary;;
– The person who got hit is a fool haha
– Judging by your intelligence, you’ll be next haha
– The atmosphere in Nevenia is really gloomy;;
(New)[‘Emergency Escape”s post]
[Posting date: just now]
[Title: Escape! It’s escape! We are escaping from here!]
We are going beyond the Nevenian border! The future is definitely there! Does anyone know any news from across the border? Or even news from the border…
– It is said that border checks have become so strict that some people cannot cross without any reason.
– Adeline’s side is almost completely wiped out. They said they couldn’t get out of the contract they signed.
– What about North?
– Haha, they say the sulfur skull is sneaking over again. Even if that’s not the case, Setena’s territory is also wrong
– Is it just the Great Forest in the west…
– Where is the crazy person who crosses the border there? Haha.
This is right before Snow Seol leaves the Timbrian. Border information collected from the community.
‘It seems like it’s gotten worse than before.’
It didn’t seem easy to cross the border.
What can I do?
Snowfall’s destination is there.
Still, there had to be no hesitation when taking action.
“…there isn’t much of a line?”
When I arrived at the border, the line leading to the checkpoint was not long. Snowfall soon found out the reason.
“Damn it, how long do I have to sit here?”
“I even have an important deal. “Of course…”
People were gathered tightly around the checkpoint.
It seemed like they were probably people who had not passed the checkpoint.
When Kang Seol checked the front of the line, out of 30 people being inspected, only about 1 passed.
So, in a way, it was natural that the line shortened very quickly.
And finally it was snowfall’s turn.
People near the checkpoint giggled and said.
“They say it’s no use and they won’t let you in if you don’t have connections.”
“Come here and let’s talk…”
the soldier at the checkpoint said, glaring at the people.
“quiet! “Don’t make a fuss at the checkpoint!”
“Ah yes… yes…”
The soldier at the checkpoint stood there sharply, as if he was not happy with this situation.
“Is it transference?”
“yes.”
“next.”
“Are transferees not allowed to cross the border?”
“Ha… didn’t you hear the news? Currently, the transferee cannot move to Adeline unless there is a special reason. Or is there a special reason why I would allow you to cross the border?”
A choice occurred to him.
[Nevenia border checkpoint has strengthened checks. If this continues, you won’t be able to cross the border. How would you answer?]
1. I am not a criminal. But by the time you cross the border, you’ll be a criminal. The charge is murder.
2. How many people do you think are currently gathered near the checkpoint? If this many transferees were making a fuss, it would be worth seeing, right?
3. Let’s be honest. How long will it take me to get over this damn gate?
4. What are your shifts? It’s not like there’s another ulterior motive. I want to get to know you. yes? It’s true. That’s really it.
5. Do you have any children? The kids will be waiting for their father for quite some time today.
…
A lot of heinous options came to mind.
On the contrary, the fact that this was the only option that came to mind was proof that it was difficult to cross the border using normal methods.
Kang Seol thought for a moment and took something out of her pocket.
It was an item that held somewhat sentimental memories for him.
– This might help sometimes.
Ting-!
An object that bounces once like a coin and flies towards the opponent.
Pak-!
The soldier who quickly accepted it tried to get angry at Kang Seol’s behavior.
“How arrogant…”
However, the soldier noticed that the similar coin he had just received was somehow different in weight and size from an ordinary coin, so he checked it.
There was a large scale drawing there.
And on the other side, it was clearly written that the magic tower of balance guarantees the identity of the holder.
“Insolent… I mean… I impertinently blocked the path of a busy person. Sat passed! “It’s a pass.”
“Can I go?”
“Yes, yes… You can just pass by.”
In the past, they had suffered a great deal of embarrassment internally due to blocking the Aspect of Libra, so it was decided not to arrest anyone associated with the Magic Tower unless they were criminals.
“Um… why did that person pass?”
“What is that person?”
People caught at the checkpoint shouted as they watched Snowfall leisurely slip away.
But now the shouting was so far away that he couldn’t hear it.
– LOL The world runs on school ties, regional ties, and blood ties
– Do you guys like this?
* * *
The first thing Snow did when she arrived in Adeline was to head to the remote countryside in Adeline.
“No, I normally don’t come to places this remote. And the person….”
Ting.
Snowfall handed the coachman a gold coin.
After repeatedly checking to see if it was a gold coin, the coachman bowed his head and said.
“Sometimes it’s not a bad idea to make nature your friend. then!”
Before coming here, Kang Seol used money to hire people to handle miscellaneous tasks.
Among the miscellaneous tasks was finding a landowner who was arbitrarily arranging his sharecropping while ignoring his certificate of title.
And it even included a threat to the landowner that if something like this happened again, everyone involved would be exterminated.
In particular, this part could cause problems in the future, so I even went to the snowfall myself.
The old man, who felt such fear for the first time in his life at the threat of snowfall, promised never to set foot on this land again.
Kang Seol finally arrived at a house located in a remote location in a rural village with a much lighter heart.
But as I stood in front of the door, my heart became heavy again.
“Hmm…”
Knock…
There was no response from inside the door.
again.
Knock…
“Who are you?”
“I came here at Lian’s request.”
A crunching sound was heard from inside.
“Ouch….”
Kkeigik!
“Father? “Did you just say it was your father’s request?”
Lian’s grown son made eye contact with Kang Seol. For some reason, Kang Seol couldn’t meet those eyes.
“yes. “I came here at the request of Lian Kuros.”
“My father… left home.”
“I know.”
“Where is your father?”
“….”
When Kang Seol didn’t answer, Lian’s son distorted his face.
“What you were trying to convey… was that news? Why…”
“No. “I came here for something else.”
“yes? “Something…”
Kang Seol took out a piece of paper from her arms.
Land title certificate.
It was the certificate of title that Ryan tried to take home.
“This is….”
“Lian left it. And this too.” A
big
wad of money was delivered along with it.
It was a small amount of money to Kang-seol, which was tantamount to rejection, but for the poor, it was a huge amount of money that could change their lives.
‘This is the value of the compass, Ryan.’
Rian’s son cried for a long time after receiving the land title certificate and money handed over by Kangseol.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu she she her her she her she her she her she she she her or or or its or it it or it it it or or it it or it or it or it her
h She
Ugh….”
“I’m sorry.”
“Ugh… maybe you were sick of us?”
“Lian always wanted to come home. “Into the arms of my family….”
“Wow….”
Rian’s son calmed down after crying for a long time.
Kang Seol asked him.
“What are you planning to plant here?”
“Well… I don’t know… I’m not in a hurry… But… if I plant it…”
Lian’s son said with a face similar to Lian’s.
“pumpkin? I think pumpkin would be good. Would it be okay?”
Kang Seol showed his teeth and smiled coolly.
“Pumpkin looks good!”

Ur said to Snowfall.
“Why did you waste your time stopping by such a shabby place?”
The answer came from Jamard, not Kangseol.
“It is always up to the parties involved to determine the value of time. “Living efficiently does not make your life richer.”
“Efficiency is the weapon of reason.”
“Considering that, your situation of pursuing efficiency doesn’t seem to be very pleasant either.”
“Ugh…”
Even the twins participated in the fight in the shadow space.
Karen said to Ur:
“Okay then. For the first time in a while, we understand each other. The owner has some delicate parts, so this part needs to be protected. “I guess you don’t know because the time you’ve been with the owner is short?”
Karuna comforted Karen.
“Karen, why are you giving me such trouble?”
“That bastard has been unnecessarily close to his owner these days. is not it?”
This is how Ur responded to the words of the other summons.
“is it? “This is what is called territoriality.”
【Hmm… Hmm… Will your senior help you?】
“….”
Bitan spoke to Ur for no reason.
【Tell me anytime if you need my help. Because we are comrades for corruption.】
“Since when… Sigh…”
Ur had become a comrade in sorrow without even realizing it.
“Everyone be quiet, we’re going into the village now.”
Snowfall has entered the base located west of Adeline.
Fortunately, this place was not too far from Lian’s original home.
[The resting base is changed to Azelfog.]
[The base is moving. Roll the travel luck die.]
[The travel luck die rolls a 3.]
[A reasonably good fortune was rolled.]
[The adventure you proceed near Azelfog proceeds normally.] [
You are in Azelfog . Adventures in the vicinity proceed at normal difficulty.]
[There is a small chance that the adventure you choose near Azelfog will be forcibly replaced by another unexpected adventure.] [This
is not a bad fortune for adventuring in the vicinity.]
The travel luck dice didn’t really matter because it never went below 3 due to the title’s effect.
Next is the score ranking that is revealed upon entering the base.
[The following is the score ranking for the current adventure up to 24.]
Piririk-
[Information is private.]
[Your score is 11056100 points.]
Top adventurer ranking
1. Private (11056100)
2. Private (7421200)
3. Private (6000320)
4. Private (5780700)
5. Private (4100140)
[Rumors spread that a great adventurer exists in Arzelfog.]
[The crime rate of the entire city is slightly lowered.]
[Hidden adventures in the city Activated.]
[The eyes and ears of the city’s influential people spread out in all directions.] [
Those experiencing difficulties search for a powerful adventurer who can relieve their injustice.]
…
‘7 million points?’
7 million points.
What surprised Kang Seol was that the second place score was more important than the fact that all the people in the rankings kept their information secret.
‘Does he seem to be quite capable?’
A person who was no match for Kang Seol, but still widened the gap considerably from others.
Kang Seol became a little curious about who he was.
Snowfall calmly moves into the city.
Before settling in, we sat down at a restaurant with a nice smell to have a meal.
Squeak…
But before I even sat down on the chair, a problem occurred.
Coo!
Patter…
I heard a loud noise and turned around to see someone overturning the table.
‘Why are you doing that?’
Kang Seol opened his ears and focused on the situation.
“So you’re saying you can’t pay the price you promised?”
“A promise? Did we do that?”
“I was told to be careful of your gang here. “I should have listened to you.”
“ha ha ha! idiot! “If you take on a task so carelessly, it will be used!”
The person who kept saying things that got on my nerves was not Korean. He looked like he had South American blood or was from South America.
‘I heard that the number of encounters with foreigners has increased… but… this voice?’
Kang Seol tilted his head.
The voice of a man being tormented by foreigners was a voice I had heard everywhere.
The woman next to him said.
“Let’s go at dawn… I just thought I stepped on poop…”
“Well, I guess I wasn’t the one who stepped on poop.”
Kang Seol was convinced after hearing the man’s words.
‘A few people?’
It was only then that his right arm, wrapped in bandages, caught his eye.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
of
at least one person stood up and the foreigners sitting at another table stood up together.
“It was planned from the beginning.”
“Pay with your life. “I will save your life, so you can cry and leave this city.”
“No, I plan to get paid for my work somehow.”
“Why are you making things so difficult? “Do you not know our strength?”
About one person heard that and paused for a moment.
Whi-profit-!
At that time, a whistle was heard from the table behind.
The eyes of about one person and the foreigners in the restaurant turned towards that direction.
A long table stretches out towards the terrace.
Kang Seol was sitting there, smiling brightly.
