The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 257
Episode 257
His remarks were often expected to be the most secret place in each company’s residence.
If all the rare items passed down through his family were stored in one place, wouldn’t Vigo be located in a place that would be more difficult to find than any other place?
The dragon stones following the guide reached the secret place only after passing through several mechanical devices.
“Oh my god….”
“Vigo is this big?”
A space larger than the banquet hall they stayed in was sleeping underground.
“Please come this way.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Honestly, it’s amazing….”
“That’s amazing.”
The guide smiled and led the dragons inside. They looked at everything about Vigo like sparrows in a mill.
“… Are you sure you can take it if you want one of these?”
“of course. “There was a message from each person that only one item would be allowed, and that the item would be given only after everyone had made their choice.”
“Everyone here? “You don’t get it just because you choose first?”
“Because items are limited, disputes may arise. “This rule was created with this in mind, so please understand.”
“Hmm….”
“It’s not wrong.”
This was half false.
Objects would only be handed over to Yongseok of Yonghwa who obeyed each other, and other Yonghwa could not take any objects from here.
In fact, all of this was a stopgap measure to keep the dragons in check.
There were more than just items in Vigo. A large-scale explosive was installed below here.
At any time, if Jegak and Yu-kyung, who had planned all of this, give a signal, the space where the guides and Yong-seok are located will be separated.
And the dragon stones here will be buried in a pile of dirt along with Vigo’s items.
Of course, using such vicious means also meant that things on earth were a little awry.
For example, a situation where someone here notices Yonghwa’s situation.
“Hehe….”
The guide hid the blade in a smile and looked around.
The people here are all Dragon Stones of Dragon Flowers, so their strength will not be ordinary.
However, if a space of this size were to collapse, they would be helpless.
That fact was almost confirmed. This is because the strongest dragon stones, Jangdu and Snowfall, were not present here.
They were in a different space from the other dragon stones.
To be precise, the originally existing reservoir was blocked off and divided into three sections, and the remaining dragon stones were placed there.
“Hmm~.”
Jangdu was humming and chasing the guide. There were as many as four guides assigned to him.
“Isn’t this why they suddenly attack me?”
“What…”
“Haha! It’s a joke, so don’t be so surprised. Anyway, I never thought Vigo would have been built so deep underground. “This is why we needed such a large piece of land in the middle of Hongyeon.”
“That’s not everything, but to some extent…”
“Hmm… Shinyo’s company residence isn’t this big either, but I’m impressed every time I see it.”
“They are all silver balls from our ancestors.”
“Yes, we must live in gratitude to our ancestors. “I wish I had inherited this much land.”
“….”
“Aaaam… are we all there?”
Jangdu and the guides have reached the end of Vigo before we know it. The space prepared for Jang Doo-man was filled with objects that sparkled with gold.
“Hey… are you really giving me this? Are these all gifts?”
“You can choose just one of these and leave.”
“to? It’s so petty! “Use more distribution!”
“If you want more than that, you will have to tell me. If you’re waiting here…”
“Huh? really? Are you really giving me more?”
Jangdu makes a strange expression when he asks for more and then gives it to him.
“… something seems suspicious?”
“What is suspicious….”
“If you had paid such thorough attention to treating guests like this, there is no way rumors wouldn’t have started?”
“Ha haha….”
“Well, I’m fine. Because people change. “I guess everything has changed.”
“….”
“What’s wrong? Lighten up your expression. “Why are you so nervous?”
Jangdu laughed heartily and suddenly erased his expression.
“It looks like you’re scared of me, right?”
Right then.
– … Do it, Jangdu!
Shinyo’s voice echoed all the way underground.
This was a loud shout that everyone in Hongyeon could have heard.
The eyes of the leader and the guide met.
Kugugoong…
I felt shaking.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A heavy sound was heard from a space other than this place.
Drudduddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
It seemed like the impact that came from there was reverberating from the fact that the entire space was shaking.
“Close everything! And tear it down!”
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
A stone wall came down, creating a thick barrier between the guide and the head.
The sound of the ground collapsing followed immediately.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This time, a loud explosion erupted from where the head was.
An explosive that could be considered grand, even though it was prepared for just one person.
Kuuuuung-!
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The sound of falling rocks continued to be heard.
One of the guides, who appeared to be the leader, spoke with his back to the door.
“It is done. Jangdu reported that it was handled. And….”
Kwaziiik-!
The stone wall split and a violent hand grabbed the guide’s head.
A guide floating in the air with his head caught.
“Uh… huh? “Let go of this!”
The muscles of the long head gradually swelled.
Sigh…
Sigh…
“A monster…”
His body, which was originally huge, grew to more than twice its original size.
His wounds were visible here and there, as if he had been hit by a falling rock.
“Relax.”
“… what?”
Ugh…
Jangdu’s forearm being pulled.
grasp-!
Patter!
“….”
“Uh… uhuh….”
If you catch a mosquito with your palm, the blood and dead body of the mosquito will stick to your hand.
The sight of Jangdu hitting the guide with the palm of his hand immediately reminded me of such a scene.
He was looking for his next opponent with his palms dripping with blood.
“Because I’m going to die anyway.”
* * *
Of all the dragon stones that have visited this place, the snowfall is the furthest from the outbuilding.
Even further away than Jangdu.
“This is Vigo.”
“Are you saying we have to come down here?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Kang Seol looked closely at the guide’s face, nodded, and followed him down.
‘Something’s strange…’
Considering that all the dragon stones had disappeared into Vigo, Vigo was quite quiet.
So is everyone scattered?
Or just yourself?
If that assumption is correct, why?
Kang Seol spoke to take a peek.
“It’s big enough to fit even a large bottle.”
“Actually, Mr. Jegak owns a giant soldier.”
“Is it stolen property?”
“It’s a retired giant soldier, so in reality it just moves and isn’t a threat at all.”
“Well… I don’t think you would bring something that doesn’t move, do you?”
“Well, you don’t have to believe it.”
Snowfall quietly followed him down.
Although the location was remote, we headed underground to the point where we wondered if Vigo could be this deep.
In fact, the place where snowfall is currently located is twice as deep as Jangdu or other dragon flowers.
Sigh…
A very faint smell passes the tip of my nose.
[Intermediate insight activates.]
[I smell gunpowder.]
The smell of gunpowder was very strong.
No, it would be closer to explosives than gunpowder.
‘Are you trying to destroy Vigo? why? Hmm… I guess I’ll have to wait and see if something comes out.’
I pretended not to notice and continued walking.
If such a huge space was created to bury just one person, one would at least applaud for the burial.
‘ah.’
The snowfall stood still for a moment.
Like someone who remembered something they had forgotten.
“… How far do I have to go?”
“Just a little more….”
“That’s enough of a gift.”
At that time, a man wearing a mask and a group of people appeared from the darkness.
It was Yu-kyung who planned all of this. It was all his subordinates who flocked to him, led by him.
“There must be a gift prepared for you here, so why are you stopping?”
“… If you really need to give a gift, put it off until later.”
“That won’t happen. “I have a lot of things to say using the gift as an excuse.”
“If you want to talk about something…”
The reason Yu-kyung appeared in front of Kang-seol was to recruit him. Unlike Jangdu, with whom Shinyo was a child, Kangseol met Seolhong not long ago.
The plan was to exploit the gap and win the favor of a person named Kang Seol.
The reason why a woman named Seolhong was able to stand out from others was only because of Kang Seol’s help.
It was such a desirable prey.
“The master I serve, Master Jagak, is keeping an eye on Kang Seol…”
Before he could finish speaking, six voices burst out.
– … give … two!
Snowfall clearly heard the sound that had just been delivered.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
!… quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Druddudduddud…
The sound of explosives exploding one after another.
Kang-seol looked at Yu-kyung indifferently.
“Aren’t you going to blow it up here?”
“… Looks like things aren’t going smoothly. Let’s move the location…”
Suddenly, Snowfall disappeared.
At that moment, blood appeared.
Fit!
Pipit!
In an instant, the heads of the warriors who were trying to block Snowfall’s path rose into the air. And Yu-kyung’s head was also there.
Even before Yu-kyung’s head fell to the floor, Kang-seol’s words rang out alone.
“I heard what you had to say.”
* * *
A series of heavy sounds.
Everyone knew that Vigo had collapsed even without being reported.
“Haha God. “You are acting hastily and making a mistake.”
“You said you did something wrong?”
“Jangdu will not be able to come here.”
“… why?”
“Because of your hasty actions, you would have been buried in a pile of dirt.”
“Huh…”
Yonghwa and the others settle down in an instant while they are talking. They gathered in a position diametrically opposed to the Jegak and the military personnel.
Now that there was a common enemy, it was time to join forces.
“Pfft…what are you doing?”
“Anyway! You are so arrogant…”
“If I get out of here, yes…”
Wow!
The dagger flew out and pierced Yonghwa’s shoulder while he was speaking.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Shut that snout. “Because I don’t have enough time.”
“Do you think this will make us obey? “How foolish!”
“Yeah, I didn’t even think from the beginning that I would just obey anyway.”
There was something strange about everyone’s reaction.
Being confident like that means you have something prepared.
Chiwoo quietly whispered to Seolhong.
“No matter what happens, don’t leave my side. “It wouldn’t be surprising if these guys turned into pieces of meat at some point.”
Seolhong had blurry eyes.
“Seolhong, come to your senses.”
“I…”
Jegak took out a few scrolls from his arms.
Wow!
The scroll was unrolled, revealing what was written in blood.
“Do you recognize what this is?”
“What is that…”
“It’s a blood oath…”
There was someone who recognized the item.
“It’s a blood oath! Damn you! Are you bringing a cursed object?”
“You have a sharp eye. “Okay, if you knew what the blood oath was, you would know how to act, right?”
“Shut up!”
“I’m not making any sense. “You’re just screaming loudly… Hey Wangjang.”
Wangjang, a glutton.
A large body whose entire body is covered in fat.
It was hard to see how that large body was hiding inside the table, but that wasn’t important right now.
His ax moved with intense heat.
Fit!
Well…
blood splattered on everyone’s face.
Yonghwa’s arm, which had been fighting him just now, flew off and landed somewhere.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
“Why are you so cruel when you only have one arm cut off?”
“Uh… Uh…”
Yonghwa didn’t make any sound.
It was obvious that if everyone became their target now, they would end up like Yonghwa, who just lost his arm.
“It’s a little quieter now. “Now, please sign here first.”
“Ugh… such a bastard….”
“I’ll give you up to 4 chances.”
“….”
“If you can refuse, refuse. “I’ll blow off your limbs one by one each time.”
The phrase ‘four chances’ was so scary.
“If you give the same answer after that, I will cut off your head.”
“I’m crazy….”
“Hehehe… Yes, I’m crazy.”
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at everyone in the hall.
“I really feel that you always look down on me. “It’s better to be feared than to be looked down on, right?”
“….”
“Sign. “Next time.”
The man, who was struggling on the floor because of the pain, spat.
two!
“Go to hell, everyone.”
“All opportunities are taken away.”
“… what?”
At that moment, the king’s ax fell down with a crash.
Quasi profit-!
Degurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of them…
“AAAAAAAAAH!”
“Huh… heh… this bastard….”
Jegak had already crossed the line.
The anger within him turned into evil.
“It’s refreshing. Now who’s next?”
Shake it off…
“I’ll sign it… Then, your life will be saved, right?”
“Ah, there’s finally someone who understands what to say. of course. Why hate a dog with a leash on? is not it?”
“Isn’t that right?”
Others remained silent.
Blocking his cooperation here wouldn’t have made any difference; rather, I would have had to utilize the moment he had to sign the blood oath.
“Seolhong.”
Qiu spoke quietly so that only Seolhong could hear.
“Chiu….”
“I understand you’re embarrassed, but the situation is urgent.”
Seolhong nodded.
“You can’t escape on your own. You have to wait for rescue. “Brace yourself.”
Why did this happen?
The anticipated banquet disappeared like a dream, and before she knew it, hell had swallowed her up.
Sasak…
Sak…
Yonghwa writes his name in the blood oath.
Soon, a red glow appeared in his eyes.
“Who is your master?”
“Jegak… It’s Jegak…”
“Ah, very good. “That sounds good.”
Yonghwa’s pupils instantly became cloudy and blood vessels around his eyes began to protrude unsightly.
Now, as time passes, you will have to choose between being beheaded by the king’s axe or signing the blood oath and becoming a puppet.
“Now who shall we be next…”
Just then, Shinyo rushed towards the door.
Pak-!
“Huh…”
The dagger stuck in the back of her hand, but it didn’t stop her.
“There was no need for you to beg me to look at you like that.”
“Haa…haa….”
“What kind of trick is this?”
Shinyo leaned his back against the wall right next to the door and shouted.
“Jang Duu!”
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The door caved in greatly due to the impact from outside, accompanied by a deafening sound.
“What…”
Jegak’s mouth trembled.
The shock just now gave me an ominous thought that the door made of Hoeri steel might break through.
A gasping sound came from beyond the door, and a voice so angry that it made everyone in the room freeze.
“Just a little bit… please be patient, Shinyo.”
It was Jangdu’s voice.
“I will make sure to get it out of there.”
