The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 20

Episode 20:

A broken carriage and fake luggage filled with useless items disguised as luggage were thrown mercilessly on the floor.

“Uuuu….”

“Just… I won’t let you go, that bastard…”

Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol were lucky enough to survive according to the original scenario.

However, perhaps because his head did not turn quickly even in a critical situation, he was still unable to escape from the wreckage of the carriage.

If I had sharpened my basic skills just a little, I would have gotten out of this situation without much difficulty.

Doo doo doo doo….

The sound of horses’ hooves could be heard from far away.

“Shit… shit… we have to get out of here!”

“Body! “Please move!”

They were mistaken.

They said they were superior to ordinary people who fought against death. They say that they are stronger people who gave them fear or fear.

“Damn it! “Fuck you!”

But is that really true?

The sound of horses’ hooves gradually got closer.

Before I knew it, I could even hear a human voice.

“under! under!”

“…It was!”

The mess, which seemed to be dozens of years old, was conveyed as is. The dust clouds raised by the horses were also visible to Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol.

The group arrived at the scene of the incident in the blink of an eye.

They all had tattoos like Cujo’s on their faces.

“Hmm… I think I’m four months old.”

“….”

Sigh.

As soon as the person who seemed to be their leader got off his horse, everyone else also got off their horses.

The man looked around the scene and said softly.

“Find Cujo.”

“yes!”

“yes!”

“Find it! This is Borgo’s order! “We must at least rescue Kujo’s body.”

They dispersed in perfect order and searched the wreckage.

Fuhuaak.

“Ugh…”

They checked the corpse’s face and, if it didn’t have any tattoos or anything that resembled Cujo, they put it aside. If it was still alive, they cut off its head.

Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol were trembling and prayed that nothing would happen.

“I found it here!”

“Are you Cujo?”

“yes! “I’m sure!”

“I’m going.”

Every time the borgo moved, people moved along.

Eventually, he arrived at Kujo’s body.

chin!

He lifted Cujo’s body loosely with one hand.

Even though Cujo was not small in size, his strength was truly enormous.

He used his other arm instead of his sinewy arm to search Cujo’s body.

He then threw Cujo’s body on the ground.

Kwasik.

There was a sound of something breaking somewhere.

However, people were more afraid of Borgo’s changed expression than the sight.

“Heh… heh heh….”

He was smiling even though he seemed angry about something.

However, no one laughed along without notice.

Borgo was a smiling demon.

When you get angry, you actually smile.

And he killed everyone who laughed with him throughout his life. So no one was laughing along.

Borgo stopped laughing and spoke expressionlessly again.

“does not exist.”

“…this.”

“There is no map. “A copy of the interpretation, too.”

“What happened?”

“We’ll have to find out about that now.”

Borgo, who said that, shook his head! and turned it around.

“Eup…”

He looked exactly where Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol were with terrible eyes. That was why Seo Jin-cheol was surprised and held his breath.

Jerk.

Jerk.

Borgo approached them.

“You’re alive. “I’m fine.”

Now the only means left for Seo Jin-cheol and Baek Sang-gyu were dialogue. They had to tell Borgo about their usefulness without offending him.

“Don’t kill me!”

“Help me! “I’ll tell you everything!”

These are the people who cut without any hesitation. It was clear that they were skilled at murder.

“Do you know the whereabouts of the map?”

“Jiji map?”

“…don’t you know?”

“I… I don’t know…”

Kwasik!

Baek Sang-gyu’s head flew off in an instant.

There was blood on Borgo’s hatchet, so it was clear that he had killed him, but it was too fast to be sure.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

This guy is a monster.

Seo Jin-cheol thought so.

“you?”

“Ugh… I don’t know the map, but I think I can guess who took it.”

“Ho…”

“A man named Snowman was in the carriage with us! Ho, was there his body? “He wears a shining blue staff and neat robes!”

“No, there wasn’t.”

“Then he must have stolen it!”

A bald man who was assisting Borgo nearby relayed what he heard to his subordinate.

“Mr. Borgo, I heard that there was one person who escaped from the group of carriages earlier.”

“…so?”

“I sent two of them in pursuit, but they say they were all crushed by something and turned into corpses.”

“…so?”

“I guess… it’s him.”

Borgo rested his chin and thought for a moment, then asked Seo Jin-cheol.

“also.”

“yes?”

“Are there any more?”

“And… that he’s a summoner?”

“Summoner… interesting.”

“Then I…”

Kwasik!

The head with dilated pupils rolled on the floor.

The four murderers from the Predator Guild were unable to continue their next adventure.

Borgo said as he mounted his horse.

“I’m chasing the guy.”

* * *

Snowfall had already begun to flee long before the Borgo group arrived.

Of course, I didn’t run away like an idiot.

He chose the horse that was in the best condition among the raiders’ horses and mounted it.

– Eh? Why talk if you can’t even ride a horse?

– Shouldn’t that be a talent feature too?

– ㄴㄴ Talents that are closely related to daily life are revealed just by themselves.

Kang Seol was awkwardly getting into position, but at some point, he got used to the horse’s movements.

Then a message occurred to me.

[Unexpected talent! Awakens horseback riding 1.]

[You will be able to achieve maximum horse speed.]

– Yes, like this.

– It’s so easy, right?

– Haha, not everyone is like this, right?

– I don’t know that. There aren’t many people who have tried it lol

– whatever the game is, it’s all up to me. So, if I play this game, I guess I’ll be better than him?

– Reality: Gong Seok-jin is eliminated. Gong Seok-jin is eliminated. Race start.

Snowfall unfolded the map she got from Kujo.

‘The ruins are not that far away.’

If everything goes as he expected, the chase will start soon. Also, a lot of people will be riding horses and chasing him.

‘Their speed must be faster than mine. But before that, you just have to enter the ruins.’

Once they enter the ruins, their mobility becomes useless.

Snowfall is aiming for that.

And one more thing.

‘It doesn’t matter how many enemies there are inside the ruins.’

I could see the dense forest with snowfall in the distance.

“That’s the Great Forest…”

Some of the first big adventures in the South are set in this Great Forest. The Great Forest occupies a vast area in the south and is a mysterious place that does not easily reveal its true nature.

When Kang Seol faced that place in real life, a strange wind blew in his heart.

Doo doo doo doo…!

The speed of speech gradually increased.

He too left his body to the horse and ran towards the forest.

And soon after, a group of people passed the same path he passed.

“under! under!”

“I can see traces here and there! “I think it’s probably right that he headed to the Great Forest.”

“I’m sure what he’s after is the ruins, Mr. Borgo.”

“…Funny. “How dare you target my things?”

Borgos were usually plunderers, but they were rarely plundered. And if they were robbed, they always took revenge.

Their chase began in earnest as Snow entered the forest.

“Falling leaves cover his tracks! “Don’t miss the trace!”

“The deeper you go into the forest, the easier it will be for him to hide! “You can’t give yourself a chance!”

Push shoo shoot!

Most of the arrows fired by the pursuers were wasted without meaning.

Occasionally, Kang Seol could hear the sound of a flesh tip piercing something, but it seemed like he left the sound by chance and did not know his exact location and shot him.

Heeheeheehee…

‘We’re all here.’

It didn’t seem easy for the horses to go any further because of the mud. But fortunately, the ruins were right in front of the mud.

‘excuse me!’

It looks like three large rocks piled together.

‘Three big rocks… Fortunately, I didn’t get lost.’

Next, there will be a statue in front of it.

Kang Seol acted calmly even though his pursuers were following him.

“The statue… I found it.”

Because the statue was buried in a pile of fallen leaves, we couldn’t find it right away, but it didn’t take much time.

Kang Seol clearly remembered the previous passages in the game.

“Turn the statue clockwise.”

Snowfall grabbed the statue and turned it clockwise.

Salgig

…

I can hear the friction sound of the statue for a while.

Slam!

Something worked.

“done.”

Coo coo coo coo coo goong.

The change occurred rapidly.

Three huge rocks rolled together in different directions.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

– Relic creator: (satisfied)

– It’s crazy haha I love this kind of thing.

– Except for the scary guys chasing behind me…

that was it.

[Borgo uses Shoulders of Steel.]

[Borgo uses Guessing.]

[Borgo uses Obstacle Breaking.]

Ugh…

A brief noise was heard from afar.

Kang Seol realized that this was an ominous sign and tried to turn around.

But the opponent’s number arrived first.

It was an arrow.

It flew through several tall trees.

“Sigh!”

Perhaps by coincidence, the arrow was aimed precisely at Kang Seol’s head.

Even if my head wasn’t pierced by a narrow chance, it felt like my ear would be torn off.

at that time.

Kaaaaang!

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

Jamard accurately grabbed the arrow that flew into San’s fist. Although it was pushed back by the recoil, the arrow also stopped.

“joy!”

“….”

“Eggplant. “The pursuers will arrive soon.”

‘Malicious We-Gyeol-Chung’ sponsored madness by 200!

[My heart hurts. Is this love?]

– Mmm!

– Get rid of all the malicious bugs….

– ??? : I didn’t specifically catch the arrow for you!

– Jueeeeenjang! I trusted Jamad.

Kang Seol nodded and entered the ruins.

At the same time, his body was wrapped in a halo of light and disappeared somewhere.

[Successfully survived the raid.]

[Rewards are set.]

[Linked adventures continue.]

[Rewards can be earned only after all adventures are completed.]

Jiyiing –

Snowfall knows that the third adventure is over. I quickly prepared for the next adventure.

[The next adventure begins.]

[The fourth adventure begins.]

[Adventure 4. Hall of Temperance]

Adventure 4. ‘Hall of Temperance’

You were asked to escort the carriage on the way up, and you got caught up in a terrible situation. Aden, who commissioned you to do the work, was not a merchant and his name was an alias.

You used your wits to survive even when your carriage was attacked, and you were lucky enough to obtain the items from Aden that the unidentified group was targeting.

However, perhaps the greed was too much, and those who were after the goods followed suit. Although we escaped their pursuit for a while, we cannot feel at ease yet.

According to the interpretation, this is an ancient ruin named the Hall of Temperance. Here you must outrun the chase and survive.

Goal: Outwit the pursuers and escape from the Hall of Temperance or eliminate all pursuers.

Current remaining time 「23:59」

– Eh… So… um… the raiders are ruin hunters?

– That’s unfriendly! It took me a while to figure it out.

– It’s a dilemma haha. If it’s a ruin, it’ll take time to break through, and if they push from behind, they’ll just get caught, right?

– Jannen~ The opponent was Snowman.

– Well then, it’s worth looking forward to.

The snowfall was heavy and we approached the entrance of the hall.

A place full of dust.

The walls were full of unintelligible languages here and there.

First, Kang Seol took out the analysis book and checked how to overcome the first hurdle.

“The blood of five innocent people is needed…”

Kang Seol, who was reading the interpretation, scratched his temple.

Soon, a choice appeared before Kang Seol’s eyes.

[I stand in front of the door of the Hall of Temperance. What would you do?]

1. Check if there are any gaps.

2. Check if there is another entrance.

3. Interpret the text written on the door.

4. [Required: 5 sacrifices in the interpretation] Five lives are offered as written in the interpretation.

5. [Required: Stealth or Thief] Hide here before the pursuers arrive.

6. [Required: Archeology or Shaman] Some interpretations seem to be incorrect. Interpret again.

…

Kang Seol checked all the contents of the interpretation and compared them with his memories.

The result only brought confidence that old memories were correct.

He held in one hand a copy of the interpretation he had made to his liking.

Cheeeeeeeek-! Sigh-!

And tore it into pieces.

– What?

– I guess it’s crazy. How are you going to get in like that?

– I got it after a lot of hard work!

Snowfall approached the door without even looking at the piece of interpretation text fluttering to the floor.

Sigh…

And then he cut his hand with the dagger he kept in his arms, causing blood to bleed.

– They say they need the blood of 5 people!

– If you spill blood for 5 people, you’ll die!

Contrary to the concerns of viewers, the door vibrated when 5 drops of blood fell, not the blood of 5 people.

Coo coo coo coo gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu keung-!

[We passed the first gate of the Hall of Temperance.]

And the door opened.

Kangseol twitched his mouth and slowly walked inside with Jamad.

“I’m right.”

He doesn’t doubt himself.
