The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 99
Episode 99
The ring that Yu Mira gave was not an ordinary item.
“This is….”
[Ring of Clumsy Pledge]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: 20 – 30
Resistance: 40
Durability: 70/70
Weight: 0.1kg
A ring imbued with the dangerous magical power of a sulfur skull.
Crystals made by hardening the blood of many beings assist its magical power.
Basic abilities: Wisdom + 10 Stamina + 5 Spirit + 5
Special abilities: Resistance + 20
‘Good. No, it’s great.’
A ring that is faithful to the basics.
In addition, the abilities were filled with only those that were helpful to Kang Seol.
“Are you suggesting we exchange this for the wolf’s warning?”
“… huh.”
“Hmm…”
Kang Seol was not a person who simply acted out of passion.
The act of evaluating the value of the two rings also stemmed from that personality.
The wolf’s warning had a good ring to everyone.
Because the power of alarm itself was a pretty good option.
However, when Kangseol used it, there were two problems.
First, some of the abilities were discarded.
There were many abilities that were not very helpful to Kangseol, such as strength, agility, and intelligence.
Second, the alarm is not always triggered.
In fact, it was not activated even once during the fight with the Sulfur Skull.
To pretend that there was no danger, there was a moment when Magra targeted him, so the ring clearly did not activate. This meant that the power of the ring was not necessarily all-powerful.
‘A power that can be activated arbitrarily has less value.’
After making his judgment, Kang Seol gave Yu Mira a wolf warning.
“Take it.”
“thank you.”
He asked as he saw Yu Mira wearing the ring and liking it.
“What do you plan to do now?”
“I’ve been thinking about it… but for now, I’m going to stay in Gulia for a little while until Kibo recovers.”
“After that?”
“Maybe I’ll go back to Nobira. Even though it collapsed, that was the foundation. “Maybe the surviving members of the hunting party have returned.”
“okay.”
“You know, Seol.”
Mira Yu looked at him with sad eyes.
“I’ve been indebted to you a lot during this time. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come back.”
– Do you like this atmosphere?
– No way!
Mira Yu stood up from the chair.
Grumble.
“If you need help at any time, let me know. “I should do as much as I received help from you.”
“… See you again.”
“okay.”
– Ah…
– There was no atmosphere…
– It was just a farewell lol.
Kang Seol stared at the place she left and pressed the end of the adventure.
[The base is moving. Roll the travel luck die.]
[The travel luck die rolls a 3.]
[A reasonably good fortune was rolled.]
[Your adventure near Gulia proceeds normally.]
[You Adventures in the vicinity proceed at normal difficulty.]
[There is a small chance that the adventure you choose near Gulia will be forcibly replaced by another unexpected adventure.] [This
is not a bad fortune for adventuring in the vicinity.]
Good fortune.
I was planning to leave here right away anyway, so it won’t have much of an impact.
and.
[The following is the current score ranking up to Adventure 14.]
* * *
Not all transferors stayed in one base for a long time.
Like Snowfall, there are some transferees who overcome only the worthwhile adventures in the area for a certain period of time and then move to another base, while others travel around various bases as if they were traveling around the country every time the adventure ends.
Usually, in cases like this, there are more cases where there is a fixed party rather than wandering around alone.
“Hiya… Maybe it’s because it’s a periphery, so it’s not much different, right? “I don’t think there is a separate vocational training center.”
“Brother, let’s not stay too long. “Let’s just finish the mission of the investigation team that Patrick or something is leading and then leave.”
“Okay, what’s the point of staying here for so long? “I feel the same way.”
“Still, I’m glad the brimstone skull or something is gone. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even gone north.”
“As soon as the survivors arrived in Gulia, scouts were dispatched around Yognathun. They say it seems like all the sulfur skeletons have already left. We are fortunate.”
“You earn points and safety is guaranteed! This is what I like about moving with Nevenia. “The investigation team will probably include a lot of knights and a wizard, right?”
“They said so.”
Adventures led by Nevenia or other countries already had a reputation among transferors as efficient adventures.
For most of those who were transferred, survival was still considered a priority over growth.
The general idea of transferees was to avoid situations where their lives were threatened as much as possible, no matter how much they grew.
It was not that there were no transferees whose primary goal was to become as strong as a snowfall, but their number was very small.
Thanks to this, when Patrick, the head of Gulia, sent a proclamation to various bases to form an investigation team into the Yognatun incident, a considerable number of transferees were currently heading to Gulia in the aftermath.
Their party was one of those groups.
“Hey… hey! “What is this?”
“what?”
“Gulia adventurer rankings….”
“I saw it earlier, why?”
“You mean updated, you bastard.”
“renewal? no. “I’ll take a look.”
A warrior who was a mainstay of the party said while looking at the ranking of adventurers in Gulia.
“Wait… does this make sense?”
“how is it? “Isn’t it strange?”
“2.9 million points? Are you crazy? “Is this possible?”
“There was such a monster in Gulia? But why didn’t the rumor spread? “I heard there was an abnormal score in Nobira or Kongori.”
“ah! What…”
“Why?”
“It’s gone. That score.”
“Disappeared? where.”
The party member who mentioned the adventurer score first rubbed his eyes and looked at the updated ranking again.
“Was it really an error?”
“Is this a game? An error appears.”
“The system is like a game… So how do you fill 2.9 million points in this short period of time?”
“What score do you have?”
“450,000 points. you?”
“470,000 points. “You suck.”
* * *
Snowfall left shortly after arriving in Gulia.
The fact that the 2.9 million monsters mentioned by the transferees who arrived in Gulia suddenly disappeared from the rankings was also because the snowfall had left Gulia at that time.
The reason I left Gulia in such a hurry was because of Xiamen.
“We have to go to Novira.”
“yes?”
“My blacksmith shop is divided into several locations. “No matter how much the city burned and collapsed, at least one person would still be alive.”
Since Kangseol did not stop by Nobira, it was not known whether this was true or not.
“Karen’s equipment can only be made there. “All the precious materials are there.”
“Oh… I understand.”
“We must hurry.”
That’s how I ended up heading straight to Nobira. In fact, there was no reason for Kang Seol to stay in Gulia.
There was no vocational training center in Gulia, and Patrick’s investigation team was not an adventure that Kangseol would be interested in.
No, what Patrick was trying to investigate in the first place was what Kangseol did, so it was funnier for Kangseol to participate in the investigation team.
‘Rest doesn’t mean much either.’
What Kangseol realized during his one-month rest period was that he didn’t need that long of a rest period.
Since I often sleep outside rather than in comfortable accommodation, there are times when I find it more comfortable to sleep on the street.
He, who lived in Seoul and did little more than exercise from time to time, has now become an adventurer skilled in the field.
Of course, I was saying that the rest was too long, not that the maintenance was like that.
It was necessary to spend sufficient time on maintenance.
Time to repair or replace old equipment and prepare for the next adventure.
The importance of maintenance will only increase in future adventures.
The snowfall was the reason why they did not stay still for a moment and kept moving, unlike other people who stretched out and rested for about a month.
They saved the rest period and arrived at Novira.
Since it took over a week, it felt like it was a waste of time to travel, but since Nobira was a place she had to come to anyway, Kang Seol did not waste this time.
After they arrived in Novira, they were amazed.
“uh?”
“It collapsed less than I thought…?”
“That’s not it. I feel like I’m getting back on my feet again.”
“They’re just tearing down the burned houses and building new ones.”
“I can see quite a few people!”
Karen laughed excitedly.
They thought ruins would welcome them, but people dreaming of a new beginning were gathering in Nobira.
[The resting base is changed to Nobira.]
[The base is moving. Roll the travel luck dice.]
[The travel luck die rolls a 3.]
[A reasonably good fortune was rolled.] [ You are
a slave, and the adventure you are carrying out in the vicinity proceeds normally.] [
You are a slave . Adventures in the vicinity proceed at normal difficulty.]
[There is a small chance that the adventure you choose near Novira will be forcibly replaced by another unexpected adventure.] [This
is not a bad fortune for adventuring in the vicinity.]
Soon his score rose to the top of the Nobira adventurer rankings.
[Information is private.]
[Your score is 2900100 points.]
Top adventurer ranking
1. Private (2900100)
2. Private (628010)
3. Raccoon Kelp (589360)
4. Bumpy (572210)
5. Lonely (550140)
As confirmed by Gulia, his score was overwhelmingly high.
In addition, since Nobira had once been in ruins, it seemed even worse as all the powerful people had left.
[The rest begins.]
[The base rest begins.]
[Break 6. Novira in ruins]
Rest 6. ‘Novira in ruins’
Novira, a ruined city south of the eternal world of Pandea.
Novira, which was adjacent to the ruins and created a lot of value, was once destroyed by an attack by a sulfur skeleton.
Now, the prosperous past has become blurred, but as residents of Nobira who recently left return, it is gradually regaining its original appearance.
Adventurers must fully rest and train here or in other rest areas before preparing for the next adventure.
Goal: Rest and maintenance.
I feel tired when I fail to achieve my goals.
Current remaining time: “Approximately 20 days.”
‘The residents are returning. Somehow…’
Kang Seol thought that it might not take long for Nobira to regain her normal form.
After arriving in the city, Xiamen hurriedly searched for the places where his hidden blacksmith shop was located.
“… This place has collapsed.”
Every place he stopped by, there were collapsed buildings and buildings that burned down, leaving only ashes.
Just as he was getting that ominous feeling, Xiamen laughed.
“Fortunately, the. “It’s still fine here.”
“Then…”
“Yes, please come in.”
Is it because it is away from the center of battle?
One of his blacksmith shops was spared.
– This is why diversified investments are important.
– When Xiamen smiles, she is not smiling…
Xiamen asked after checking the items in the blacksmith several times.
“Now shall we do what we’ve been putting off?”
“Okay then.”
Snowfall gave Atarak’s blood to Hamun.
“It’s quite a lot. “If this is the case, you don’t have to worry about equipment being damaged by fire in the future.”
“Is there enough?”
“Yes, now we will mix this with spirit powder and make it into oil. And if you dilute it lightly, oil it and dry it, it will stay in good condition even when Karen uses it.”
Karen felt good about Xiamen’s words and grinned.
“So now I’m using proper equipment too?”
“Maybe so. But… didn’t you ask me for a sword?”
– Can I have this sword please?
It was a long time ago now, but it happened when Kangseol visited Xiamen.
“The sword you gave me back then… I’ve kept the handle and the broken blade carefully.”
“It wasn’t lost?”
“It can’t be. “I only have one job, so I can’t keep it carelessly.”
“Fortunately, the. Something big happened in Nobira and I thought it was lost as well. “So there’s no problem?”
Xiamen expressed his disapproval at Kang Seol’s question.
“Actually, there is still one more problem.”
“Something…”
“You saved me the spider blood, but it’s a little difficult to get the fire spirit stone that matches it.”
Novi was a city with a huge auction house.
Fire spirit stones were also rare, but not impossible to obtain.
But that was the case in the past, and now there was no way Nobira’s auction house could remain intact, so in order to obtain the fire spirit stone, Kang Seol had to work hard again.
“Haa… It’s a fire spirit stone….”
“If you say it doesn’t have to be a fire spirit stone, you can use other materials as much as possible….”
“Fire spirit stone… Fire spirit stone….”
“Snowman?”
“Fire Spirit Stone!”
Suddenly, Kangseol looked at Karen.
“hmm? “Why me?”
“Wouldn’t that be enough?”
“Is that… perhaps this?”
What she took out was the fiery snake that was Magra’s weapon.
His huge and unusual weapon filled with the energy of fire.
The fire snake was a weapon made of fire spirit stones.
