The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 413:

Shirlen.

Although it is not the center of the Federation, it is a city where nobles from all over the North gather.

Everything they enjoyed became culture and economy, and this place also achieved its own development.

Thanks to the secret auction, commonly known as Star’s End, Shirlaine developed once again and developed even further with the influx of large numbers of transferees.

In particular, Shirlaine’s geographical location was very suitable for northern settlers to go on adventures, so it was popular.

It could be said to be a major base for adventurers.

Kang Seol stopped by the association to see the reaction.

– LOL Lim Kkeok-jeong showed up and killed all the criminals.

– Gun accidents like this occur frequently in our America. So freaking frequent. Because I don’t feel anything.

– Hey, this is translated anyway. Don’t pretend to be American.

– Oh, is it close? Haha

[Title: Are you people?]

I asked to hear it, but I couldn’t listen to it.

A lot of people have died, but you’re talking about how cool you are. Imagine that the dead person is your family.

– You captured the concept really well haha. Even though it looks good on the map.

– Listen, listen, I can’t listen! (I can’t listen because I want to listen)

– Yang Bi-ron has appeared again, right? I want to serve two heads with tomahawk steak.

– Huh… wait for me, my morning star (Morning Star). You’ll soon be drinking the brains of an idiot.

– Whatever you do, they think you’re part of their family. Haha. My family isn’t criminals, right?

Why don’t you keep telling the truth and not come forward? ruler! Everyone close your eyes. Hands up to the guy who cleaned up the criminals in Castrang. Uh huh! Even if you close your eyes!

– If I listen to it now, I’ll just get over it. (It’s such a big deal)

– Only the teacher will know. (The teacher is also curious)

[Title: Balboongyasippal]

I came over from the south and there. There was nothing like this!

The linemen say they won’t die if they get a hole in their stomach, but healers say it explodes if it hits their head! Does it make sense to be killed by villager A? If this continues, even machine guns will appear.

– You’re from the South, too. Na Don Deng

– There is a rumor that it is being distributed intentionally through workshops.

– Eh? really?

– I heard that as the power of the transferees is growing bigger, the existing power is arming ordinary people to balance the situation. Well, at the level of a tough fighter, guns are funnier than bows haha

– they’re bad guys, those bastards are really haha Are fighters only bad guys?

– Hot!

– flinch!

– Kongtakkongtak!

– Oh-dong-tong-tong!

– It was because of these bastards.

– Is the last cub a raccoon?

[Title: I filled a whole castrang.] I heard

they were some kind of swindler, but criminals filled a whole castrang. Is this correct? When I found out, it was home? I heard this is a new drug that is spreading these days. If I don’t catch it, it’s going to be bad.

– We are trying to catch him, but the investigation bureau lacks the ability… Everyone, please provide support.

– Do you get a pension?

– of course. But I can’t live up to my first birthday~

– What the heck haha

– Due to the nature of field work, it’s inevitable that I’ll need a lot of manpower… The growth is slower than an adventure, and the rewards are lower.

– In fact, it is an honorary position….

Since only miscellaneous information was floating around without being formed, Kang Seol checked the letter.

I checked the old letter at Cherryje once, so it wasn’t that old.

[Letter from my friend ‘All College Students Are Dead’]

[Date written: 3 days ago]

[Subject: Is Seol’s older brother Cherryje?]

I’m Shirlene now…?

* * *

Several days have passed since the steel coffin arrived in Schürlaine.

“Tekon, what are you doing that makes you late?”

“You’re dead.”

“Oh, that’s right. “He died.”

A giggling shadow.

Everyone gathered here was wearing black blackout curtains.

This is the meeting that Tecon wanted to attend.

The toad suffered a misfortune on the way.

“What about the kids he had with him?”

“Everyone is dead. “Not a single thing is left behind.”

“That woman was a bit of a waste, but she was a good fit.”

“It’s because I met the wrong owner. “If you had come under me, you wouldn’t have died in vain like this.”

“Tekon is a child who has been supported by orphanages since he was young.”

“That toad bastard’s hypocrisy was top-notch.”

Among those gathered here, no one mourned Tekon’s death. The talks continued. No, it has just begun.

“Then let’s begin. “We have selected a few urgent issues.”

Pararak…

They are checking what is written on the paper.

“First of all, Sorum Workshop says they will be excluded from this matter.”

“suddenly?”

“I recognized him when he got a taste of the money and his eyes widened and he printed out a lot of money.”

“Who is the owner? “Did you take it out?”

“no.”

“Then that’s it. “We will sort it out next week.”

“Do it without noise.”

“I’m a professional, so leave it to me.”

“next.”

The meeting was carried out quickly and quickly.

“We need to retrieve the groove that Tecon has secured. And his distribution network.”

“Divide the distribution network amicably and send the kids to get the home.”

“But can’t we further increase home supply?”

“The raw materials sent from there are exactly that amount.”

“Tsk… then there’s nothing we can do.”

Home is a drug made from a special substance. Not only does it make people feel like they are in heaven, but it also increases physical abilities to ridiculous levels.

Accidents due to this have continued to occur, and its effects and dangers have now spread widely to the general public.

Of course, Home also had side effects. It is endless exhaustion and lethargy that goes beyond the commonly known side effects of drugs. Once they entered the home, they were unable to return to their daily lives.

The people gathered here now were federal drug lords who specialized in distributing HOME.

“Then what about drugs, other than home?”

“There is a disruption in income. “I think someone noticed the trend.”

“Take care of that matter. If you do it wrong, we’ll all lose our heads.”

“I get it.”

“Is the work at Star’s End going well?”

“so so.”

After several agendas were exchanged, someone said the final agenda.

“So… it’s a steel coffin?”

“Hehehe… I don’t know who came up with the name, but it’s catchy. “It’s fitting to be the last of Tekon.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be appropriate to take revenge?”

“You don’t even know who that guy is. “Except that, given the circumstances, there is a high possibility that he is the guy who has been interfering with Tecon’s work recently.”

“You even said that Tekon searched without permission, so we couldn’t even figure out who this guy was?”

“I have to find out now. “You can’t be a laughing stock.”

“I heard there was a crow mark left at the scene… Does anyone know?”

* * *

While Kang Seol was away, Ur and his party escorted Sylvia safely to the house.

It is said that there were no attacks afterward, perhaps because targeting her was a task assigned to Tekon.

Sylvia said that after returning home, she received a severe scolding from her father, the head of the family. And he was shocked to learn that in return for his contract with Kangseol, he was promised access to Star’s End.

‘It won’t be easy, even for the Mishen family.’

Star’s End was literally a paradise. A secret auction house for federal powerful figures.

From expensive works of art to high-grade equipment.

Only a certain number of people could enter, and only those with verified identities could participate in the auction.

The reason why Kang Seol wanted to enter Star’s End was obvious.

‘… You need a mountain of equipment.’

Snowfall own leather equipment.

Cloth equipment of Ur.

Tansia’s equipment.

Naturally, it would take too long to save them all through adventure alone.

It was a situation where even treasure-level equipment was not going well at the general auction house. Of course, since there was no market price, most of the prices were set at exorbitant prices.

Snowfall didn’t ask for much. I just hope to find at least some suitable treasure-level equipment from Star’s End.

It was a fight with a higher probability than going on a clumsy adventure.

The problem is whether access to Star’s End is possible.

“…your request has been denied.”

“….”

“I did my best, but… the Star’s End auction is right around the corner, so they say I can only use the newly acquired access rights starting from the next auction.”

It was difficult.

It was very difficult.

‘I can’t wait until the next auction.’

Auctions were not held often.

If you miss this time, the next time will be a long time later.

Kang Seol frowned and thought about it. Sylvia kept her promise. I have obtained the qualifications to enter Star’s End.

The problem is that you cannot participate in this auction.

It was a nasty situation that was difficult to raise an issue with.

“So… are you targeting this auction?”

“you’re right.”

“So my father thought of several ways together… and he came up with a good idea.”

“Good idea?”

Sylvia was afraid of snowfall.

She knew without asking that the coffin of steel was the work of Kang Seol. Kang Seol is a person with the executive power and cruelty to accomplish such a feat.

A person who can cut down the lives of up to a hundred people without hesitation if he is offended.

He was clearly more fearsome than her enemy. So, I tried to build a good relationship as much as possible.

“You’re using someone else’s authority.”

“It’s no use. The number of people who can use each authority is determined…”

“No! “A person participating in an auction who is free from the rules has only one right that is different each time.”

At this point, Kang Seol realized who the authority Sylvia was talking about was.

“Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

“Yes… the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

For national security purposes, Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel also participate in the auction wearing masks. Naturally, the number of participants changes each time depending on personnel changes.

However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not have sufficient authority to participate in the Star’s End auction.

‘How can I take it over from them?’

Sylvia answered Kang Seol’s question.

“He is close to my father. game!”

Sigh… Gail

quietly opens the door and appears.

Kang Seol already knew that he was standing outside.

“Was it sudden?”

“it’s okay.”

“It’s become a habit to get things done quickly. Nice to meet you, my name is Gail. “I’ve heard a lot about it.”

“… talk?”

I’ve heard a lot about it, but the period of contact between Sylvia and Gayle probably wasn’t that long.

“To Ishii-kun and Miss Yeba.”

“… ah.”

In that case, what Gale heard was probably Hygeltongue’s story.

‘I wonder how much I talked about…’

Gail laughed as Kang Seol made a puzzled expression.

“I heard everything.”

“….”

“They weren’t in a situation to hide something. Thanks to you, I listened carefully.”

Disappeared after leaving work.

Moreover, a huge incident occurred in Hygeltongue, but there were only two witnesses.

‘I can’t help it.’

Gail got straight to the point.

“We also have the right to Star’s End that you requested. In fact, creating new rights will attract attention, so there is a risk that it will lead to bad results.”

He was right.

It was good to be careful about how you behave. The best situation is to seep in.

“So far, the Bureau of Investigation has said it participates in auctions, but has never bid on anything. This is an authority created from the beginning for the purpose of security and contraband recovery. “I will give you this authority.”

“All right.”

“step! “There are conditions.”

“… condition?”

“It is natural that if the authority of the Investigation Bureau is used for personal purposes, a gap in the investigation will be created. “I hope you will move along with the wishes of the Investigation Bureau on the day of the auction.”

Kang Seol chuckled.

‘Look at this?’

I will give you authority, but I am asking you to take responsibility as well. Gale must have heard about Snowfall’s powerlessness from Ishii, so he thought this was a profitable business.

“… I refuse.”

“Why not? Such a great opportunity….”

“I don’t want to be a puppet.”

“What if I bring Ishii and Yeba and grab them by the pants?”

“It only makes me angry.”

“Uh huh… this is so…”

Gale rested his chin for a moment and rolled his eyes.

“… Then let’s do it like this. “This is also a pretty urgent situation.”

He raised his finger.

“I promise you one reward regardless of performance.”

“compensation?”

“I’ll give you one of the items up for auction in Star’s End.”

“… Is that true?”

It was a very good reward.

“Did the Investigation Bureau have that much money?”

“Actually, it’s one of the rights I gained when I took charge of security. Instead, you should talk to your superiors.”

“All right.”

It is unconditionally beneficial.

The prices of the items on auction were unusual.

Sometimes the request was for something other than money.

“Then I think the matter has been resolved well… I guess I will call you investigator from now on. Snowfall Investigator.”

“….”

“…?”

Something feels strange.

“Haha… It’s difficult because a name like this doesn’t stick well. “Then, would you like to meet the people who will join forces with you at this Star’s End auction?”

“I can’t refuse. … You already brought it here.”

“Did I tell you that getting things done quickly is a habit?”

Squeak…

three men and women wearing robes.

Everyone was wearing the uniform of the Bureau of Investigation.

Black men, white women and Asian women.

“Jamal Jeonza. Let’s do our best among people from Earth. Well… half of Pandea are from my hometown.”

When Kangseol looked at Gale, Gale grinned.

“Because of the manpower shortage… all these friends are transferring. Jamal and speak politely.”

“no. “I can’t work with someone like that.”

Kang Seol chuckled and said it was okay.

“Ugh…”

another woman said.

“It’s Ray. Do your best. Oh, isn’t this it? “Please take care of me, Ray.”

Kang Seol’s eyes were on the Asian woman next to him.

“Uh… Um… I didn’t know you were here…”

“… Han So-mi?”

Han So-mi, who I met on my first unexpected adventure with Cho Kyung-taek and Shin Mun-ho, was standing there.

“Uh…well that’s how it happened.”
