The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 448
Episode 448
“I am Matu who serves Ontana of Wisdom! I knew very well that you guys were in a relationship with Jinryeo! “I won’t kill you, but come out!”
Kang Seol and Jian looked at each other.
“You’re going to kill me, right?”
“I’m going to kill you.”
The man named Mathura continued to shout.
“If you resist, I will kill you! But if you don’t rebel, nothing you worry about will happen. It’s your last chance! “You have invaded Keshii’s territory!”
Kang Seol frowned.
‘battle? Or maybe it’s detention…’
I had a feeling that if I was suppressed like this, I would be taken to their home base.
“There’s no way, right?”
“Kill them all?”
“No, just be subdued.”
“good idea. “Anyway, it’s faster to ask the Keshii people, who are master trackers, than to search for us.”
The group ended up being captured by Keshii.
“… Why did this happen?”
Sindio said with tears in his eyes.
“Don’t look like you’re going to cry because the offer over there was quite attractive.”
“I can’t even sleep… What is this….”
“I’ll take care of it. “I’ll let you sleep.”
While he was talking carefree, one of the Keshii people who was restraining the plump black dragon asked.
“… What is this lizard?”
“Do….”
Tup-!
Tansia was about to say something, but Karen quickly covered her mouth.
“I’m bringing you here for a reason.”
“Right. “I won’t mind if it doesn’t cause any particular harm.”
“Thank you friend.”
“joy.”
The Keshii people take out wooden accessories and assemble something with a snap.
Soon, a carriage hitched to their horses was born in an instant.
Of course, it was very sloppy, but considering the speed, I couldn’t complain.
“It may be uncomfortable, but get on it. “I will transport you all the way to Yahatman.”
“Yahatman… haha!”
Jian laughed.
Sindio cried.
“Yahat Bay… is the home of the Keshii people!”
“I heard that’s true? Hey… look at this. The finish of this carriage is better than I expected…”
“Ahh!”
puck-!
puck-!
“Ouch…don’t hit me. This guy will take care of it. “Right, friend?”
“More than that… Are they always spying on Tansia?”
“hmm? I know. “If we get caught, the little boy might be the first to become food.”
Tansia made a gasping sound and looked frightened.
“… At this rate, I will visit all three major tribes in the non-governance zone.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay to go sightseeing for this long without paying.”
Matu shouted.
“Move!”
“oh!”
Clatter…
clatter…
The carriage began to move towards the northwest. Thinking that they were barbarians, Sindio was worried about the inconveniences of the journey, but surprisingly, they were considerate of Kang Seol and his party in the clumsy carriage.
On the second day of the convoy, Snow and Matu became close enough to talk.
“But I wonder if the Keshii people have become a little rougher recently…”
“Why do you think that?”
“This is not the first time we have been attacked. “It happened not too long ago.”
“Right. “It must have been south of here, right?”
“… yes. Does it matter?”
Matu said.
“Strictly speaking, these people are not outcasts… they are people who left the tribe on their own. “Now they are just a bunch of magic bandits.”
“I know that the Keshii are a close-knit group of people.”
“It’s in the past. “Everyone is at a loss right now.”
The word ‘stiff’ didn’t go down well.
“What do you mean by standing on end? Why is that so?”
“It will be easier to understand if you see it in person. Just… it’s good.”
Clatter…
clatter…
The group entered a new village along the road. It was a village located nearby like Gurjant in the past.
“It’s Togan. It was completely ruined here too. But unlike Gurjant, I understand there was no attack by monsters?”
As Jian spoke, another member of the Keshii tribe responded.
“See for yourself. “The darkness that has fallen on this land.”
Patter…
Black material falling from ruined buildings.
“Once you touch it, you become addicted. “It only takes a moment to go crazy.”
“It’s corruption.”
“Yes, corruption is seeping into the entire North. “All we can do is delay it.”
“What is the culprit? “At this point, you will know who did this.”
“I do not know. The black dragon had done something like this in the past, but it wasn’t this powerful. Moreover, he was already defeated by the dragonlord a while ago.”
Kang Seol knew that Ajanik was doing better than expected.
‘It seems like Azanic did it… but does he have this much capability?’
There were more than one place where corruption had spread. Even the heroic spirit of Horus is tainted by corruption.
‘Either it was not Ajanik’s doing… or Ajanik has become much stronger than before.’
Either way, the situation was bleak.
So the group’s carriage moved along the road and passed through several villages. All were tainted by corruption.
“Aren’t we going to be behind schedule?”
“Javatu told me to head to the mineshaft. “If it weren’t for Kesii, I would have been looking for traces in Gurjant.”
“It would be good if the Keshii tribe cooperated…”
Three major tribes in the non-governing area.
Keshii Deki Baldu.
Their home bases were all located next to huge mountains.
“It’s all coming slowly.”
Snowfall asked again a question she had asked several times before reaching Mt. Spno, Keshii’s stronghold.
“Please tell me at this point. What do you mean, that Jin Ryeo stole the Jin of the Keshii people?”
“… fair Kunna. “It’s the name of the jinn she stole.”
“Is it important?”
“It is important! Very important! Rajin, the sun’s jinn and the first jinn, had several jinn under his command. Fair Kunna is also one of them. “One name contains one value.”
“Fairness has been taken away.”
Every time Jinryeo used her abilities, she had to offer something to Kunna. It seemed that such action was necessary in order to use the power of the fair.
“Yes.”
“I understand she was also from the Keshii tribe.”
“… yes. “He was a poor child.”
“Poor kid?”
“The parents lost their lives in a fight between three tribes. Although Jinryeo was a child without parents, he grew up courageous. And he stole Kunna. “It’s a fucking bitch.”
“….”
Although things are mixed up, the conclusion is that Jinryeo caused harm to the Keshii people.
“The Keshii… haven’t seen any other strangers besides us?”
“….”
“Please answer me. “At this point, I can’t even run away.”
“Ha… I saw it. “A very strong man was leading the group.”
Kang Seol’s eyes changed.
‘… It’s parliament.’
Their whereabouts will soon be their next destination.
“Where were they headed?”
“… Before meeting you, those who were called by Razin set foot on this land.”
“If you say Rajin… do you mean the first Jinn?”
“He is the god of Keshii.”
Karen, who was quietly listening, whispered to Karuna.
“You know, Karuna. “Are you sure I’m the only one who’s heard the name Rajin?”
“I’ve never heard of it.”
“Really? Then… you’re probably right. “I may be remembering wrong.”
“Is this a name you’ve heard of?”
“Because I’m used to it. “It would just be nothing.”
A person who has been called by Rajin.
‘Could it be… the council came here?’
Kang Seol asked urgently.
“Could it be… that you guided the group you mentioned earlier to Rajin?”
“Rajin wanted that.”
“It’s dangerous… How long has it been?”
“It was more than a week ago.”
Jian frowned.
A gap of one week.
At this rate, I could have already done my business and left Mount Spno.
“Everyone came first.”
As they spoke, they reached the best position on Mount Spno.
Whoa…
a mountainside with a gentle breeze blowing.
The first thing that caught my eye were the houses lined up on the gentle hill.
Purr…
Ehh…
Horses and sheep were divided into separate sections to graze, and there were a lot of them.
“It’s huge….”
“Bigger than I thought.”
“It wasn’t a lie that if all three major tribes gathered together, it would be worth it to join forces with the Federation. “Damn, I accused him of being a liar.”
Sindio nodded.
“The Federation nobles have been constantly on the lookout for tribes in non-dominated territories. “That is the same intention as I continue to look into this place.”
I saw a crowd of about a dozen people.
“under!”
“Uh… ha!”
The Keshii tribe gathered in a circle and enjoyed wrestling.
“It’s as big as a monster.”
“I know.”
Matu got off his horse and said:
“Rajin is the god who arranged for us to take root in this land. He is the father of all jinn.”
“… do you also know that he invited evildoers?”
“You don’t know. If you go in front of Rajin, your identity will be revealed. Or maybe even that was intentional. Do you call yourselves good?”
“….”
“No. All individuals just misjudge like that. Rajin’s line is line. “Personal good is of no use.”
As befits a group of people who serve the Jinn, they lightly ignored personal wishes.
‘That would be natural.’
If he had followed Rajin’s words and prospered like this, he might have thought the same. The environment I lived in was very different.
Ji-an whispered to Kang-seol.
“I think these crazy bastards have embraced the Congress bastards. “If Rajin or something says something, he’s ready to eat shit.”
“It won’t be easy… How did they get Rajin’s choice?”
“I don’t know. What kind of trick was there? Or maybe Rajin was wrong. Of course, in this case, Keshii would never admit it.”
“Depending on the situation, there may be a conflict.”
“If it’s suicide, I won’t go anywhere. don’t worry.”
“Do you think it was suicide?”
“what? Wasn’t it?”
Right then.
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse,
the eyes of the keshii tribe who had escorted the snowfall group all the way here have turned pure white. The eyeball became transparent like a glass bead, and the clan’s revelators stopped in place like dolls.
It looks like it has been blessed.
Their mouths opened one after another.
“These are Rajin’s words.”
“Follow the wind, you who pursue evil.”
“The wind will guide you….”
This means follow the wind.
The wind lightly pushed the backs of Snowfall and the others.
“Follow the wind, knight of day and night.”
Knight of day and night.
Snowfall was shocked and looked back at Karen and Karuna.
The two reactions were conflicting.
Karuna tilted her head and Karen was smiling.
“…Karen?”
“ah! Are you talking about me? “Yeah, that’s right.”
“Do you know Razin?”
“…you know?”
“what?”
“I guess I’ll have to check it out myself.”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
for for for for for for for for for for for for for for for for for for for at
“Rajin himself called. Break the restraints.”
Tap…
tap…
The Keshii people cut the rope that bound them.
Kang Seol and his party were led straight somewhere without even having time to say hello to the tribe members.
“Where are you going?”
“It is Rajin’s temple.”
“Where is it?”
“It’s a crater.”
“….”
Mount Spno was a volcano.
Although it is a dormant volcano, there are rumors that smoke sometimes rises from the crater.
“Are you planning to throw us into a crater?”
“Don’t rule out the possibility at all.”
Whoa…
The entrance to a cave decorated like the entrance to a temple.
“Please allow me to go! Rajin!”
At that moment I wondered why Matu was acting like that all of a sudden.
[Advanced insight is activated.]
[The smell of sulfur is in the air.]
[A trap has been set.]
Pusheeee…
I felt hot heat coming from the door, and then it dispersed and disappeared.
[The trap is disarmed.]
“It was a trap.”
“If it went in like that, it would have melted.”
Low…
Low…
A group of people heading toward the crater with the Keshii tribe.
Cheeeee…
I could feel the hot air from time to time.
[Syndio uses coolness.]
[Prevents the invasion of light heat.]
“It is unusual for strangers to refuse Razin’s blessing.”
“Hot is a blessing?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm…”
Sindio asked.
“But don’t you think we’ve come a long way?”
“… I know?”
“It feels like the same scene from before is repeating itself…”
“Huh? “Where have these friends gone?”
Kang Seol’s face hardened.
‘The Keshii people have disappeared.’
The landscape began to change.
Whioooooo…
A hot wind swirled around, and the inside of the temple appeared around them.
Swoosh…
Huge beings have appeared.
Cows, horses, sheep, etc.
The shadow of an entity with a different head than that of a human body flickered. Each one exuded an overwhelming presence.
“… It’s Jin.”
– It is true. Shadow.
A voice echoing from deep within.
‘It’s Rajin… This is Rajin.’
I was able to guess its identity just by listening. A power that is on a different level from other Jinn.
– There is someone I want to talk to before you.
Whioooooo…
[Great experience! Jin Razin of the Sun has been discovered.]
[All stats increase by 5.]
– The knight of day and night is alive.
Karuna still had an expression of uncertainty and tilted her head.
“… who?”
– You may not know me, but your sister will remember me.
Over there…
Karen stepped forward.
– yes?
She grinned at Rajin’s words.
“Kahat! It’s been a while Rajin! “You’re alive!”
Karen suddenly treats Rajin without any sense of distance. For some reason, Rajin’s voice wavered.
– … He was alive. Little spark.
Kangseol asked Karen.
“Do you know Razin?”
Karen smiled sinisterly.
“Rajin was one of the guardian saints of Montra.”
“… what?”
Montra, the Empire of the Sun.
The land of the emperor buried beneath the sand.
Beings born there in unfortunate times. They were the guardian saints.
Rajin spoke to Karen in a watery voice that was not at all godly.
– The empire was buried under sand and memories were scattered to the wind. But how…
Keshii’s god felt doubtful about Karen.
– Are you still burning?
