The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 409
Episode 409
The Castrang used by Snowfall stopped at the next station. No, to be precise, all the passengers were dropped off there.
It seemed that many people were injured as the attackers subdued the passengers.
The good news is that the guy who made Ur freeze was one of the masterminds of this incident, so he seemed to be steadily providing the security agents with the necessary information.
Thanks to this, Kang Seol and his party did not waste time combining information from security agents.
“We will contact you shortly with an available room. At least until then…”
“I understand.”
I ended up staying in a city called Palvin where it snowed heavily.
“It can’t be helped. “Then shall we move together?”
Sylvia talks to Kang Seol. She was feeling an inexplicable sense of awe towards Kang Seol and his companions who saved her life.
‘They are great people… even children…’
With a single gesture from the child, a large adult shattered Castrang’s solid glass window and fell.
Even after committing murder, there was no sign of guilt or emotional disturbance.
Oh, there is one thing.
He seemed to be wondering what to do since one plum kept disappearing.
‘Rather, I think Kangseol belongs to the ordinary category. Yes, that masked man must be the actual leader of the group.’
It could have been the secret work of a famous mercenary group, or, considering that he was a wizard, he could have been a big name in the Zodiac.
In that case, the person named Kang Seol, who holds the symbol of Libra, could actually be just a bodyguard serving him.
‘Whatever it is…’
Kang Seol seemed to be talking with the group and deciding what to do.
Sylvia quickly dug in.
“Palvin was a place I often came and went. I remember that this night market had a lot to see. “All street stores are operating legally.”
“….”
“I know a place with pretty nice accommodations… but the layout here is pretty sloppy, so if you look for the wrong one, you might not be able to find the right accommodation….” “….” “
That
might be true….” “If I’m not there, you might have a little trouble…”
Hmm…
For no reason, Albert looked the other way and walked away. Maybe it’s because I’m embarrassed to be in the same position as her.
Sylvia, who had never been treated like this before, even her ears turned red and she seemed to feel heat on her face.
“Would you like to go see it together?”
It was very difficult to refuse such an offer from a pearl-like woman wearing fur in the cold winter.
– yes!
– must!
– going!
Kang Seol thought for a moment and answered:
“yes. “Of course.”
Sylvia brightened up at his exciting answer.
“Then… you two…”
“I think Tansia will like it.”
“… yes? Ah… of course, yes.”
* * *
– Die.
– trash.
– You don’t deserve to live.
– Please hand it over to me. I also really like the night market.
Sylvia was planning to find out the identity and various aspects of the masked man by walking through the snow and night market, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a large family tour.
“Tancia, look at that! “It’s an exotic lizard!”
“and! Color! The color changes!”
Karen clung to Tansia as if she were her older sister and taught her about the world.
“what? It’s real, right? “I’ve never seen anything like this!”
“Karen too?”
“huh! That’s quite a lizard! cheer up!”
The problem is… I am also in the process of learning about the world.
“It’s candy! candy!”
“no! Anything that’s too sweet will rot your teeth!”
Tansia opened her mouth on both sides with both hands. Cute teeth with prominent fangs.
“Do my teeth rot too?”
“Uh… is it rotten?”
Karen had never heard of a dragon with rotten teeth, so she took some money and gave him candy.
Clap… clap…
I bought a total of 3 candies.
Tancia and Karen.
And the remaining one is for grief.
“heartbreak! “It’s a gift!”
Surprisingly, Tansia’s favorite person among the group was Bitan. It was actually ranked higher than Karen.
Heartbreak refused the candy.
【Candy is fine, but it doesn’t suit my road.】
“… Road?”
【I am different from the grief I have experienced so far. I experienced hardships with snowfall and was reborn! A great sea urchin has become a very great sea urchin!】
Tansia offers candy to Bitan, who is making strange movements that I don’t know where she learned it from.
“Yes, congratulations. “I’ll give you candy as a gift.”
【Oh, is this a gift for the newly born me? Thank you.】
Clap… clap…
Bitan, who quickly forgot what she had said, was held in Tansia’s arms and licked the candy together.
【Look at this, kid!】
“Huh?”
Grief depicted the face of an old woman looking at her fortune.
【It’s the same, isn’t it?】
“Kkehahahaha! Same! huh!”
After Tansia joined, the group gained a focal point.
A child’s laughter had such unknown power. It will be stronger and softer than any other force in the world.
Ur came to Kangseol’s side and whispered.
“I don’t have to say it… you felt it, right?”
Kangseol nodded at Ur’s words.
“Shall I kill you?”
“Leave us alone here, it seems we are not the target.”
“Hmm….”
“If it’s not possible, I can step forward myself.”
“Anyway.”
The subject of the words that came out of Ur’s mouth was murder. Without saying anything, I immediately got to the topic of murder.
“Kahaha! Ur! Look at this! “The fish’s tail is amazing!”
“Such a kid. “There are much more amazing things in the world than this.”
“okay? Still, it’s amazing! “The fish’s tail is also amazing!”
Ur said as he looked at the tail of the small fish shining in a variety of colors.
“Well… you’re right.”
Snowfall watched Ur’s back for a moment.
One like a blade.
This is the king who faced hell and was Kang Seol’s opponent.
Such Ur was falling on the world as time passed. Snowfall sometimes felt rather unsettling.
The very fact that a cruel mage who hated the world permeated the world.
‘Well… I guess it’ll be okay.’
In the past, this was an issue that would have been considered in more depth. However, it did not bring anything more than a brief agony to the current snowfall.
That’s because he became strong enough. It was because I was confident that no matter how he changed, I could suppress it.
Time continued to pass at the night market. Karuna, Karen, Ur, and Bitan stayed by Tansia’s side and talked, while Kang Seol talked with Sylvia.
Sylvia was not the only one who had different evaluations of her opponents. Snowfall also changed its evaluation of Sylvia.
‘It’s the Mishen family… it might be useful to know.’
Not all countries in the federation once had equal power. In some cases, the power of a powerful nation’s historic family extended to the commonwealth.
‘From what I know about Mishen… he has influence over the Federation. If you do it well…’
I couldn’t ignore the information that came with it.
However, I was reluctant to get close to her because of the fact that I had not confirmed it yet.
‘But why is the daughter of the Mishen family wandering alone? It seems like those disguised as robbers were also targeting Sylvia…’
Kang Seol asked her without hesitation.
Sylvia was taken aback for a moment and then answered:
“I went abroad for a while to do research. Well… it didn’t work out so I’m coming back soon, but…”
“I see.”
Sylvia spoke about things that were not even asked.
“There are always people targeting rich travelers… I hired mercenaries to go to dangerous areas, but they weren’t particularly satisfying. Especially the former…”
She once seemed to dislike the former. Kang Seol asked about him.
“It seemed like they were just waiting for something to happen during the trip.”
“… ah.”
It is a symptom of addiction disguised as a sense of adventure. Because they were always looking for that kind of stimulation. Her hatred still had roots.
Kang Seol asked.
“But… it looks like the people who targeted you on the train were not ordinary robbers…”
“Mishen is a family closely related to the development of Castrang. In fact… the other nobles who were attacked recently were all related to Castrang.”
There seemed to be some messy circumstances involving Castrang. Although it was a situation that did not particularly affect Kang Seol.
“I… So…”
Perhaps that’s why Sylvia was proactive.
“Couldn’t Kangseol persuade the group to ask us to escort them for a few days as they head to the Federation?”
– Hahaha
– Not you, but your summon…
– I loved you…
Kang Seol thought for a moment and answered like this.
“If it’s a destination….”
“Even to Shirlaine.”
close.
“The reward is…”
“If there is anything you want, please tell me. “I am willing to pay any amount when I return…”
As their story was ending, Karuna approached.
“It looks like Tansia is tired.”
“Okay, let’s go back.”
After enjoying the night market, they returned to their accommodation.
In front of the door of the accommodation, Kang Seol spoke to the group.
“Do you want to go in first? “I have something else to talk about.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Ur nodded, but Tansia did not give in.
“I want to go with you too!”
“That’s it…”
“Take me too!”
Ur said to Karuna:
“Karuna that way.”
“Mmm!”
Karuna lowered her head and scooped up Tansia with her head.
Every neck.
Karuna headed to the accommodation with Tansia on the wooden horse.
“High! “High!”
Tansia smiled and did not refuse.
“The child is so… lively.”
“… Let’s go. “I will take you to the bar.”
“thank you.”
Snowfall headed to Sylvia’s separately prepared accommodation.
It looks like the entire quite large annex has been rented.
The two talked while looking at the lighted annex.
“As I said earlier, the reward is….”
“The reward has been decided.”
“yes.”
Kang Seol looked at her and said.
“This is a qualification to enter Star’s End.”
“Rice Star’s End…”
A black market that has existed in the Federation for a long time. A place where all kinds of precious things flow. As immigrants came down to this land, more and more goods would have flowed there.
“You’re not the kind of person who can make excessive demands, so why are you in Star’s End…”
“It’s not excessive.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“It won’t be too much at all compared to the problem before you.”
“….” Kang
Seol has mysterious eyes, as if he sees through the reality of suffering.
Sylvia bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then answered:
“Okay, if you escort me safely to Shirlen, we’ll somehow secure the qualifications for Kangseol to enter Star’s End.
“Then, from this moment on, I am employed.”
“That’s it, right?”
“It must be bad luck for someone.”
“… yes?”
Albert rebelled after hearing the outcome of the story.
“Silvia! “That’s… too much…”
At that time, Kang Seol put his finger to his mouth.
“Shh….”
“…?”
He picked up a rock from the floor.
And then he lightly threw it towards the glass window of the annex.
Even though it was a light movement, a huge sound was emitted.
Paaaaang-!
Clang-!
“What….”
Puhwaaaaaaaaaa!
“Kaaaaak-!”
Surprisingly, screams erupted from inside the outbuilding.
At that moment, goosebumps appeared on Sylvia’s body.
There was someone in the dorm where no one was supposed to be. To the lodging they were about to enter.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing…
Fog began to spread around the area starting with the screams.
“What’s going on? Please explain….”
“Ever since we arrived in Palvin, someone’s eyes have been following us.”
I could feel something coming from the fog.
Not just one person.
There are several.
Gulp…
Gulp…
Albert realized that he couldn’t defeat the assassins beyond this fog on his own and said this.
“I will open the way. “My companions…”
Kang Seol lightly raised his hand to stop Albert.
“Please stay back.”
Somehow I couldn’t resist.
Albert realized what his role was.
“Silvia! “Behind me!”
“Uh huh…”
Hwioooo…
More than ten human figures were blurred along the fog.
A modulated voice came out of the fog.
“How did you notice the ambush?”
“He has a good sense of humor.”
The opponent was full of malice.
There was no need to be polite.
“Tsk tsk… really? I was lucky. It would have been an easy task… but you know what? My fortune today is amazingly good. “Which is stronger, your luck or mine?”
Sylvia’s heart sank.
If I hadn’t accepted Kang Seol’s offer, would I have been alive by now?
A situation that made Sylvia’s heart sink continued.
The opponent tried to capture Kang Seol.
“Get out of here. There’s no need to shed unnecessary blood, right?”
“Oh my… I just got hired, but I said that before I was hired.”
“… Are you doing this because you thought there was someone behind us?”
“There’s no one here right now?”
As Kang Seol sneered, the opponent began to look for an opportunity to attack.
Sreung…
“In this situation, even playing with words… I’m not a sane person.”
Kang Seol stood still with a calm and weak posture.
Paaaaat-!
The fog dispersed in an instant, and dozens of masked people appeared within it.
The moment when each person was about to swing their weapons with fierce force.
“Juk….”
Kang Seol spread the hidden energy.
Whioooooooo…
That sticky, horrible presence.
[The special ability of the Giant of the Age is activated.]
[Gives a burden equal to the dignity of the opponent who does not have dignity.]
Kujijijik…
“What….”
Boom-!
thud-!
Assassins who hit their heads on the floor in an instant.
“Kek… Keek….”
“Susum….”
Jeok…
Jeok…
Snowfall turned away from the moon and approached the leader of the raiders.
A man struggling and trying to raise his head with all his might.
“What is this…what is this…”
The sharp energy hidden in Kang Seol’s gentle demeanor raised its head.
“What a crappy fortune.”
Snowfall that murmurs.
Snowy pupils reflected in the man’s eyes.
It was the eye of a dragon.
At that moment, numerous memories came to the man’s mind.
“You’re unlucky.”
[Dragon Blood Eye’s first ability is revealed.]
