The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 416
Episode 416:
The monkey statue was easily taken off by Snowfall’s hand. It seemed like a statue that was treated individually in the first place because it was clean and had no broken parts.
“Where should I put that monkey?”
“If you leave it anywhere, you will be trampled to death…”
Snowfall approached the back of a troll holding a club.
“Marijou, this way.”
“ah! yes!”
Rumbling…
As soon as I brought the flame close to the troll’s back, a change occurred.
Cheeeeeee…
A pattern similar to the one engraved on the floor was engraved on the stone statue’s back.
“Monkey… here…”
Jaw…
The monkey statue clung to the troll’s back without much trouble. Mariju said.
“Lord Jalb.”
“All right!”
Sigh…
As soon as Jalb touched the round ball, the light from before came out.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

Pujiik…
A pirate’s sword is stuck in the chest of a small troll.
Taaaaaang-!
A warrior striking down a giant troll’s club.
Up to this point, it was the same as before.
Geek-!
Tuk-!
The monkey hanging on the troll’s back ripped off the troll’s necklace and dropped it to the ground.
Kwaaaaaa!
Angry troll.
Grumbling!
Soon, hot flames covered the guy’s head.
Cheeeeeee…
The group frowns at the realistic smell of burning flesh.
Blah blah blah…
The dwarves and monkeys turned back to stone. However, the trolls were broken and scattered into dust.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssww…
Clap!
“door! “It’s a door!”
The secret room was no longer a secret room. Part of the exterior wall was converted into a door.
“Can I go out?”
Jalb asked Kangseol.
“First of all, them.”
Ddudduddud…
The statues huddled together and followed the door.
The movement was uniform, as if there were rails underfoot.
Snow and his party followed their movements.
“Is it magic or an institution? It’s fascinating.”
“Aren’t there Castrangs in the Federation?”
“Ah… Castrang is a product of logic created by adding a pinch of magic… Now this… It’s like magic in a fairy tale, right?”
“It’s fairy tale magic… so it makes sense.”
“Brother, why did these stone statues suddenly appear?”
Because people were scattered across such a vast space, they had not yet encountered others.
Kang Seol and his party talked about the test of the stone statue.
“The ruins are the map that tests us….”
“Test? “Suddenly?”
“Isn’t that the severed head at the auction?”
“Oh that man! I remember. “It was bizarre.”
“It all started with that man’s words. “I guess it’s related.”
“What kind of robbers are involved? Are they familiar with these ruins?”
“At least better than us. “There is a high probability that he knew that things would turn out this way.”
Mariju touched her forehead.
“You’re scolded. “It’s not easy just to get out of the ruins, but there are people plotting as well.”
Jalb pounded his chest.
“Just trust me, Marijuu! “I will definitely take you to the mansion without any harm to your body!”
“My knees are already scratched…”
“That’s…”
“I’m kidding.”
“Mmm! At least we who are gathered here can trust each other!”
“….”
“….”
“Uh hmm… isn’t it.”
Neither Mariju nor Kang Seol and the others responded.
Druk…
“The statue has stopped.”
When Kang Seol looked up at the ceiling, those letters from the example popped out again.
Kang Seol interpreted the sentence without difficulty this time.
“The road to the destination is a series of hardships.”
Sigh…
Another stone structure has appeared nearby. It looked like a vine.
“Only the incomprehensible will open the way.”
When Kang Seol said that, everyone shook their heads and said one thing at a time.
“That round bead was a mystery, wasn’t it?”
“There’s something hidden there.”
Snowfall slowly approached the wizard statue.
A wall made of vines blocked their path.
He stroked the round sphere.
OK.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The round bead reacted.
The statue briefly returned to life as before.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Light emanated from the blue orb.
The vines were colored with a vibrant green color and looked strong, as if they could never be cut off.
Whioooooooo…
At that moment, the wizard’s orb shined light on the vine.
Passsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
…

“Is it rotting?”
Kang Seol watched the scene without taking his eyes off for a moment.
Kugung…
When the vines disappeared, the dwarves returned to the stone statues.
They headed forward again as if nothing had happened.
“… It’s surprising that I don’t run into anyone while doing this.”
“More than that, that bead… what kind of power is it?”
“It seems like it promotes corruption…”
“It seemed that way… but maybe it takes away life force.”
“indeed! “You might think so.”
Kang Seol only referred to their reasoning and continued to think alone.
Mariju asked as she approached Kangseol, who was leading alone.
“… Do you have something else on your mind?”
“… something came to mind.”
“Can you please tell me?”
“….”
Kang Seol said, looking around the group.
“Of course, both statements make sense, but let’s wait and see. “It might be revealed in the next trial.”
“ah! Well, it doesn’t matter, but…”
Kang Seol tilted his head and asked Han So-mi.
“Somi.”
“Yes, why?”
“Was the ruins originally this big?”
“I wonder that too…”
Marijuu answered instead.
“Star’s End extends underground. “I think it probably came together as the interior changed.”
“… It’s ridiculously big.”
“Yes? “I think the same thing.”
But suddenly the dwarves stopped in their tracks.
“uh? Why did it stop…”
Other dwarves pop out from the left path.
Perhaps others were taking the same test.
Jiying…
The dwarf on the snowfall side activated the power of the orb.
Pussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
possible can possible possible possible everest ever possible. Not only did the dwarfs on the other side break apart, but even the dust disappeared. And the power contained in the bead was absorbed into the bead of the dwarf who destroyed them.
“Are you saying we should go together from here?”
In front of it was a broken stone bridge. This stone bridge was quite impressive in scale. Of course, only the skeleton remained, so I could only imagine its original grandeur.
It was then.
“Wait! “Someone is coming!”
Ssssssss…
A chill came from the other side. And soon someone screams.
“You murderer!”
“The murderer is chasing me!”
At that moment, Han So-mi and Marijuu’s expressions became frowning.
Jalb asked.
“A murderer?”
“That man killed the people he was with. Argh! “That’s it!”
Kang Seol chuckled at the sight of the murderer being pointed at.
“Ur…”
“Yes… I could smell you from here. “I guess I was lucky enough to have chosen the same path.”
It was nice to meet Ur, but he was carrying the stigma of a murderer.
Kang Seol asked.
“Did you kill someone?”
“Did you kill him? Yes, I killed him.”
The six people who came over here said.
“He instantly turned them into blocks of ice and killed them all!”
“You committed murder for no reason! It’s them! “You’re in the same company as those who ruined the auction!”
Kang Seol lightly raised his hand to silence them.
If you ask me where in the world there is a person who can shut the mouths of the majority with such a simple movement, I can only say that there is someone here.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
their a a a a a a a an a an a special of snowfall is enough to calm them down.
To be precise, it was true that he had flinched, but he didn’t notice because the snowfall had deliberately crushed his energy and erased his killing intent.
“Why did you kill him?”
“Are you questioning me?”
“No, I’m just curious.”
Ur sighed deeply.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“….”
“How do those who weren’t at the auction site know about the situation there?”
“… Right.”
Ur saw.
A look at everyone at the auction venue.
Even those wearing masks could not fool his eyes and senses. These are people who were not at the auction venue.
In other words, there was a high probability that they were in league with those who planned this.
Of course, killing someone based on such clues alone is not wrong. There must have been something more.
Jalb shouted.
“With that alone, I could have heard from someone…”
“No, they appeared in the same space as me right after the incident happened. And I have a sensitive nose. “Especially…”
Ur walked towards me hurriedly.
“The smell of living.”
“….”
“As soon as they noticed that I was alone, they showed their clumsy ways of living. No matter how much you hide your face behind a mask, you can’t hide that murky life. Right, snowfall?”
“What is that… just a guess… Marijuu! I guess Izawa…”
Jalb defended the people who came over. However, Kangseol nodded at Ur’s words.
“Please step aside, Marijuu. And Somi.”
“all right.”
“I will protect you, Marijuu!”
When Han So-mi and Mariju stepped down, Jalb was unable to stick to his previous position. The opinions of the majority had to be respected.
“Then… that’s right! Marijuu! “I guess the situation is so crowded…”
Jalb tried to turn his back to Kangseol. It seems like each person wants to protect the other.
Kang Seol said bluntly.
“What are you doing, Jalb?”
“There are so many, let’s work together…”
“That’s where you should be, right?”
“… huh?”
There was silence for a moment.
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re not good at hiding your life.”
“… What kind of bullshit are you talking about? “Are you doubting me now?”
Jalb shouted.
“Marijou! This guy is so strange! The guy on the other side…”
Marijuu just looked at Jalb with motionless eyes.
Her cold gaze told me that Marijue’s heart had already changed.
“…Marijou?”
“Lord Jalb, it has been about five years since you served as my guard.”
“you’re right. So…”
“From this moment on, you are no longer the leader of the Shanxi family.”
“… What is that!”
“It’s exactly what Kang Seol said. You’re not good at hiding your life.”
“….”
Jalb moved to join the six unmasked people.
“… Since when did you notice?”
“I had my suspicions. “The only thing that made me certain was right after the ruins changed.”
“… why?”
“You lost your life just by being alone with me.”
That was right.
That was the reason why Snowfall did not get closer to the two than necessary.
If Kang-seol and Han So-mi weren’t right next to him, Jalb would have killed Mariju.
Because a small amount of vitality flowed out in that short period of time. He noticed it long ago, but he didn’t dare say it.
“Then why did you two act so calm?”
“It was because I wasn’t sure if the three of us could defeat you. Because you are strong.”
In the case of snowfall, it was the exact opposite.
I left him alone because I was hoping that if I left him alone, he might reveal his tail to the other guy.
“Then why has your judgment changed now?”
“I just felt a little bit of the snowfall. The energy was so faint that I was momentarily mistaken. “Jalv, you… don’t know us…”
Marijuu said boldly.
“You can’t beat the snowfall.”
“what?”
“Puhahahaha! “I put my life on the line, but now he’s talking arbitrarily.”
Seven people can’t defeat one person. If I had said that I couldn’t defeat the four including Snowfall, I would have at least pretended to think.
Sereung…
“Then shall we check?”
Mariju hid behind the snowfall.
“Excuse me… I think it’s safest here.”
“….”
“… turn off the light.”
“… yes?”
“It will be a difficult sight to see.”
Nod…
Mariju turned off the light, and the ruins immediately became dark.
With the faint light coming from somewhere, it became difficult to see even what was right in front of me.
Puhwaaaaaaaaa!
There was a horrible sound and the sound of blood splattering. I could actually feel a few drops of blood splashing onto her dress.
“It’s okay now.”
A flame burning again.
Grumbling…
“… Oh my god.”
The time the fire was turned off was only a moment.
It was before I even counted to three.
But… the tragedy that unfolded before her eyes far exceeded her imagination.
Headless corpses were standing there like idiots.
thud-!
thud-!
Bodies falling backwards all at once.
“Hee… hee hee…”
Only Jalbman was crying with his head on the floor.
“Don’t… you monster…”
What did I see?
Marijuu didn’t even want to imagine it.
“You… were stronger than I imagined.”
“….”
Kang Seol approached Jalb and made eye contact.
Squeak…
Soon, the memories he had handed over information to Kang Seol.
“Hmm…”
“Did you find out something?”
Kangseol scratched his chin and answered Ur’s question, which had come closer.
“It is true that this place is the remains of an ancient dwarf who has been sleeping for a long time.”
“I knew that.”
“The guys who ruined the auction are targeting the treasure sleeping here. These guys… they didn’t have much interest in the auction.”
“Ho… Is it a treasure? “You don’t know what treasure is?”
“This guy doesn’t seem to know.”
“Why did you plan this now?”
“I guess the ruins needed a living sacrifice to regain its power.”
“Today was the day when many of these living sacrifices came to me.”
“… okay.”
“… What are you going to do with that woman?”
Accompanying Han So-mi is something Ur already knows.
What Ur was asking about was Marijuu.
Sigh…
She took off her mask.
Soon her ruby red eyes and her facial features were revealed.
“Let me greet you again, Sanxi Mariju. Unfortunately, we just lost our escort.”
“….”
“I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my family if you can help me get out of here safely.”
“Oppa…”
Han So-mi made an expression like a puppy getting caught in the rain. She was very affectionate.
Kang Seol did not dislike her personality.
“… All right.”
“Thank you…”
Ur snorted.
“Hmph… Anyway… Hey Snowfall. “So that’s all the information you know?”
“So do you know something more?”
“… okay. “That bead.”
A blue bead obtained by a dwarf.
It was still shining in the wizard dwarf’s hand.
Snowfall said, following Ur’s finger.
“What on earth is that bead? And why are the ruins undergoing such trials….”
“Ordeals? no. “I’m talking.”
“story?”
“I wonder what happened with that bead.”
“Is that marble that great?”
“… Look at this snowfall.”
Ugh…
Ur activated the orb.
The light soon spread into the air.
Blah blah blah…
The change that occurred as the light spread overwhelmed everyone.
The huge stone bridge was regaining its former appearance.
“Nonsense… no way…”
“This is…”
Kang Seol’s expression hardened.
It was not about rebuilding the stone bridge. It was to return it to its former state.
Ur grinned.
“This… is Kagon’s item.”
The Kagon Empire was at the pinnacle of time magic and time magic.
Kagon is a forgotten empire whose greatness was only claimed by Urman.
“Kagon’s relic fell into the hands of a dwarf. “The story started there.”
Kugugu Palace…
The ruins have begun to change.
In the distance, the structure of the ruins changed and created something.
It was a fortress.
A castle that appears to have been scaled down from its actual size.
Marijue narrowed her eyes and said.
“I’ve seen that castle…”
“You saw it?”
“There are traces of it left in the north.”
she sighed.
“It is the throne of ash. The kingdom of the ancient dwarves.”
