The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 435

Afterwards, Kang Seol talked in detail about helping Jian and then conveyed this to Marijuu.

– This is something I cannot judge on my own. Let’s talk about at least a part of the Silver Lion Association.

Thus, two days later, the dozen nobles who were now the main members of the Silver Lion Society gathered.

Before starting, Mariju said this to Kang Seol.

– Most of them are moderate on the special committee, but there are definitely some who are not. If you threaten them with force, the results will not be good.

This means explaining it as understandably as possible. Surprisingly enough, Kangseol felt that this was the most difficult task.

‘Where should I start…’

When we entered the meeting, Farah was the first to ask.

“Why did you invite everyone here?”

“I would like to tell you about the progress of one thing.”

“Tell me.”

“Good job. “I’m listening.”

Nobles were especially fond of visible achievements. I wondered if the special committee had scratched their itch in that regard.

“A part of Jian’s memory is bound by an oath.”

“If it’s an oath….”

“If you reveal the truth to someone you don’t know, your head will explode and you’ll die.”

“Such a terrible thing…”

“Is it true? Are you sure? “I understand that there are parts of curses and spells that are similar to oaths, right?”

“There is a person in the special unit who is well versed in magic. “Confirmation has been completed.”

“You have to cross-verify. “Oaths are also different for each type.”

“There is a person in the special unit who is well versed in magic. “Sorting has been completed.”

“… Wow. “Really?”

– There is a person in the special unit who is truly versed in the matter. It’s true.

– There is a person who is well versed in orthodoxy on the special committee. Anyway, take it like that.

“What about torture? “Are you sure you tried all possible methods?”

Kang Seol looked in that direction when someone asked a low-level question.

“I heard that even if you torture me, your head will explode if you reveal it…”

“Ah… I see.”

“Giggle…”

“What are you doing to lower your standards… Really…”

A chat that clearly shows that the internal relationships within the Silver Lion Association are not that beautiful.

“Damn it, there’s nothing to be gained from capturing the leaders alive!”

“Let’s talk straight away. But thanks to him, I found my groove.”

“That’s only Shirlene! “Other than him, there are no leaders captured alive!”

“Still, I think it did quite a bit of damage… What do you think?”

Kang Seol answered the question.

“They say it hit Congress like a claw.”

“Ha… what should I do with this?”

Farah was wearing a belly band as if the injury she suffered last time had not yet healed.

Drurr…

He stood up, dragging his chair and looked around.

“That alone is not enough! This is a fact that everyone here knows! We can’t be satisfied with just that! “I want to tell you that things have gone terribly wrong.”

“That’s… right.”

“That is correct.”

“Farrah is right.”

Kang Seol nodded at his words.

Farah spoke seriously.

“The Silver Lion Association has come together to regain the leadership that was lost to criminals, so I think we must achieve that goal.”

“It’s not wrong.”

“No one will look down on us if we achieve our original goal. “Farrah is right.”

Surprisingly, Farah was helpful to Kangseol.

He asked this with a pretty cool expression.

“I guess you gathered us together because there are better options than executing him?”

“… you’re right.”

Meanwhile, Farah sits down with her legs awkwardly crossed. He seemed to be playing a confident nobleman.

“Tell me anything. “I’m a pretty open-minded nobleman.”

“I plan to release Jian.”

“… what? What what? Say that again? “I was wrong…”

“Jian must be released.”

At Jiang Seol’s words, most of the nobles of the Silver Lion Society stood up and pointed at him.

“What on earth do you mean!”

“You’re thinking of releasing a criminal who you just caught! “Is that something you in your right mind would do now?”

“Nonsense!”

At first glance, it seemed like the majority were against it.

‘Do I have any choice but to go out strong?’

As Kang Seol was stroking his chin, he saw a man engulfed in worry.

‘… aha.’

Kang Seol suddenly spit out at him.

“What do you think, Farah?”

“What what?”

“I cannot hear the truth from Jian, so I plan to ask them for guidance.”

“…Really?”

“Yes, they say that if you do that, you can break down the boundaries of the covenant’s recognition, and later you can even rescind the covenant whose boundaries have become weaker.”

Farah started acting like something big again.

“What are the detailed locations to move with him? Is it within the Union?”

“They say it’s outside the control area.”

“Are you sure you’re talking about a non-governed area?”

“That’s right.”

“… oh my god.”

Non-Government Area.

To put it simply, it means an area outside the kingdom belonging to the federation.

Although it is a northern land, it is full of monsters, criminals, and natives.

‘The northern kingdoms were created after the natives were forced out there in the first place.’

He leads Jian, the leader of the council, into that dangerous, cold land.

“The entire special committee is going there, believing only what the criminal says?”

“To be exact, only half of the special committee will go.”

“… what?”

“It is divided in half for two reasons.”

– I stay. I’m planning to create a solution that relieves the side effects of drugs.

The story Ur told Kangseol last night. He said Home seems to be more than just a financial resource for them.

And I repeatedly said that I wanted to know more about the ingredient called atromil.

Kang Seol explained to the nobles gathered here what atromil was and emphasized its danger by mentioning cases of people addicted to it dying suddenly.

“Home… no, it’s now called Atromil. We know that too. Even now, the Federation’s alchemists are hanging on…”

“There is a risk that it will be a race against time, so we are going to take action ourselves.”

“… Are you confident? “More than Federal Alchemists?”

“… of course.”

Farah snapped her fingers.

Taaaak-!

“Okay, any other reasons?”

“We plan to find those still hiding within the Federation through internal and external information exchange.”

“Does this mean that the current strength of the Investigation Bureau alone is not enough?”

Kang Seol smiled.

Replacing an answer with laughter is a pretty cool thing to do.

Farah responded by raising one corner of her mouth. He seemed very satisfied.

“As expected, it’s not enough.”

“Of course… considering the achievements of the Special Committee, it would be reassuring to see at least some of them remain. And… no.”

The words I just swallowed were probably an argument that Snowfall’s entire power should not be released outside the Federation.

Farah asked a question while acting as a capable nobleman.

“What else can you say?”

“In exactly one month, the contract between the Silver Lion Association and the Special Committee will end. From then on, everything will be done solely based on my judgment, and it will not be my goal to promote the majesty of the Silver Lion Association by clearing out the entire council. “Whether it’s a Home related issue or a federal issue.”

A signal not to interfere with me.

Someone among the nobles spoke up.

“But you are employed by us…”

“I am not in a position to take orders.”

“… Are you saying you’re going to take what you get and walk away? “Like that….”

“I can tell you for sure that we will never be able to catch them or find out their purpose with these brute-force moves we have made so far.”

“….”

“I plan to take Jian to the non-administered area within a few days. “I look forward to your wise response.”

Clang…

As soon as I closed the door and came out, a war of words began between the nobles inside.

Kang Seol waited quietly until their opinions were resolved.

‘The person named Farah was more helpful than I thought.’

It seemed like he wanted to be an important position in the Silver Lion Association, and he was anxious to show it.

Kang Seol, who caught that moment and used it as a good means of persuasion, laughed and said she was lucky.

‘It’s a bit awkward, but it doesn’t feel bad.’

Thinking back, I was glad he didn’t hit me on the head when he came. I never thought we could talk like this.

Of course, I’m just pretending it works.

Anyway, some time passed and the minion found Kangseol.

“Chairman Kang Seol, the adults of the Silver Lion Association are looking for you.”

“Let them know I’ll be there right away.”

“Yes…”

When Kang Seol returned to the meeting place, the Silver Lion Association was looking at each other in a strange way.

The nobles looked a little upset, as if they didn’t like Farah’s leading actions and Kang Seol’s proposal.

And there are more people than them supporting Mariju and Farah.

Farah spoke up.

“There are conditions.”

“Let’s listen.”

I thought there would be conditions. Because it didn’t make sense to release a criminal, no matter how stupid he was, without any restrictions.

“Can I renew my contract with the Special Forces after one month?”

“… if the conditions are right.”

Snowfall has proven its worth and will probably demand higher terms.

“I’m thinking of forming another expedition.”

“… It’s just inconvenient and not effective.”

“You are not leading. “I just act as a liaison.”

“If I don’t control them… they are the ones who will watch me.”

“No, I’m going to appoint a separate person to monitor it. “Look at you, Sindio.”

Sigh…

A wizard wearing glasses approached. It had the scent of a mature woman. And at the same time, a powerful magical energy.

‘… It’s pretty good.’

As soon as Kangseol saw him for the first time, he looked at Farah with surprised eyes.

“He is the strongman promoted by the Silver Lion Association. There’s nothing to hide. Syndio will assist you during your journey and keep an eye on you at the same time.”

“The purpose of the expedition is to check on Sindio’s safety.”

“It’s similar.”

Dual surveillance system.

It wasn’t a bad idea.

Kang Seol said coldly.

“I will not interfere with Sindio’s life or the safety of the expedition.”

Sindio said bluntly.

“I will protect my body.”

Farah nodded.

“That’s enough.”

Kangseol grinned and held out his hand to Farah.

“There was no one I could communicate with better than Farah, but today I had a valuable experience.”

When Kangseol praised Farah, he shook her hand with a tearful expression on his face.

“I’m always open. I just turned on Woongji. “I look forward to a good cooperative relationship in the future!”

Mariju looked at Snowfall with a cowardly look in her eyes.

[Title: Has anyone seen the crazy expedition recruitment post?]

Is it a large company? They don’t really do anything, but they give you compensation like that?

– Take down the post! Competition goes up!

– They just follow me around and give me treasure lol

– To be precise, it’s a waste of time. Because you can’t develop in the meantime.

– I was born a non-developmental person, so it appeals to me.

[Title: Not at all; [It doesn’t appeal at all]

The non-governed area is a whole country full of barbarians and monsters; Compensation will only be paid to those who survived there and came back alive. Well…

– Just wipe the saliva from your mouth and speak.

– Chureup… were you caught?

– It’s my first big adventure in a while haha. It’s a complete festival right now.

The nobles are big-hearted;

But I’m a bit of the opposite, and

it seems like they look down on Jeon’s life.

People were born and treasures were born. Were treasures born and people born?

– Pandea produced treasures and people.

– ah! ㅇㅋ I have to apply diligently~

– Oh, I can’t apply because I got a level cut…

– What kind of native bastards even know the transition and item level cuts?

– This will also be a process for us to become one.

The big guild will take it all again. Chairman of the special committee! Are you watching this? I heard about something called transference. Please increase T.O. just a little.

– If you stretch Tio a little, he bows.

– I was a job seeker even before I transferred. Give me a chance!

– Here too, I have to chase after talented people…

– So are you dissatisfied?

– at all! So sweet! Oh, so enchanting~ So delicious~

Kang Seol was looking at Jian, who was released overnight with a completely fine appearance.

“After all, people should have good friends. “Kid, okay?”

When Jian spoke to Tansia as if she were friendly, Tansia held Kangseol’s hand tightly.

Jian looked up at the sky, massaging the bag of bone powder on his belt.

“The oath saved my life. Tsk tsk… but will it be okay? Even if you release me.”

“Don’t talk nonsense and think about giving proper guidance.”

“Oh, of course.”

Han So-mi spoke to Kang Seol with a gloomy expression.

“I wanted to go with you…”

“But I’ve been assigned to the capital, so it’s okay, right?”

“That’s good, but thanks to you, I got a quick promotion.”

Han So-mi decided to remain in the federation. I may join in the future, but I don’t know yet.

“But who stays here?”

Boom…

Boom…

“… Isn’t it?”

“I am a woman.”

Jamard stood in front of Han So-mi.

The height is too daunting to even look up at.

“… Was this really the only way? “Will Pandea be destroyed tomorrow?”

“Jamade will protect you in any situation.”

There had to be someone left who could strike as soon as they received information about the council hidden in the city.

Without much thought, I thought Jamard was suitable.

It was obvious that no matter who came, they would be crushed by Jamad, and Han So-mi would be able to protect them without difficulty.

Ur also said it was more convenient that way.

“Ha… Haha… It’s reliable. So, Jamard and I’s mission is…”

“We must find and destroy those remaining within the Federation.”

“It’s cooperation between inside and outside. Joint investigation! is not it? “That sounds fun!”

Ur spoke while looking at the snowfall.

“I will join Jamard as soon as the resolution of the contract with Atromil is completed.”

“okay.”

Sindio, who was dispatched as Snowfall’s guard and watchdog, urged him on.

“They say the expedition will follow you as soon as it is formed. “It looks like the composition has been completed appropriately.”

“That’s fast.”

“I just want things to be done correctly. Then… let’s go.”

Snowfall’s party started moving using Castrang. The destination is not the central capital of the federation, but the extremity of the ruling area that extends across the southern part of the federation.

Traversing the Federation at breakneck speed, they finally reached the non-administrative zone, a land where no blood flows.

“From now on, you can only enter with a valid reason.”

Sigh…

A scroll with the seal of the Investigation Bureau was handed over to the guard.

“… Has confirmed. I hope you’re okay.”

I don’t know how it happened, but it seemed to be going well so far.

– If we don’t stop it, the north will be devastated within three years. And next would be Pandea.

Jian’s warning that I heard that morning.

Kang Seol looked at the back of his head.

“Ha… the air is nice.”

“There is no time to relax. “Please hurry.”

“Didn’t you decide not to interfere?”

“The only person I don’t interfere with is Kang Seol.”

“You have a mother.”

“Who is the mother!”

“Even if you urge me, my feet won’t move faster. Rather, it’s snowfall.”

Jian’s eyes rested on Kangseol.

“I might regret it, is that okay? You believe me. “Because of the oath, you have to follow what I say, right?”

“I don’t regret it yet.”

“… Now that I think about it, you are not a member of the Silver Lion Society. Not even from the North. “What did you want?”

“…the truth of this matter.”

“Ah… I did.”

Jian said, looking at the cold ground with a decadent gaze.

“I will definitely let you… meet them.”

At that moment, something appeared in Kangseol’s message window.

[The next adventure begins.]

[The thirty-sixth adventure begins.]

[Adventure 36. Kokoro cried]

…

The beginning of a completely ordinary new adventure. But the message that followed made his face darken.

[I have the experience of completing the long march for the first time.]

[The advance party’s perks are activated.]

[The current adventure has a high probability of leading to the long march.] As soon as

Kang Seol read the message, she let out an unspeakable curse.

“… I do.”

Tansia walked away from Kang Seol with startled eyes and clung to Karen. And he pointed at the snowfall with his finger.

“I said something bad!”

“Shh… you can’t learn things like that.”
