The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

444 Poou

Woo Woo …

Big …

Poou Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo …

Tansia, who had a lot of meat or ate Motu’s meat too much, came out of his stomach and shook his nose today.

Kang Seol laughed when she saw the boat that was small and towered like a mountain. A child’s body, a child’s thoughts, and a child’s emotions were like snow falling from the sky.

Kkeiik…

Kang Seol left the dorm and went up to the roof of the building.

Hehehe…

I could see the destroyed human city at a glance. It was a complicated feeling.

The smart man’s actions that destroyed the human kingdom, but there was no clear answer to the question of whether it was wrong.

‘Fat… was strong.’

A monster ogre created from anger and greed. And a fat person who has reached great heights with just that source.

There was concern that Treeam would soon become a much more dangerous group than the Council.

“Tskcha….”

“…Are you smart?”

“you’re right. I think Triam’s buildings are sturdy and good. “It’s small, but it’s an ogre in name, but I can see that it’s okay to climb up on the rooftop.”

“….”

“You don’t tend to sleep well. “I know that humans need at least eight hours of sleep to lead a stable day.”

“Are ogres different?”

“We don’t mind not sleeping for a week. “During a war, not even a month is fine.”

“That’s… convenient, yet scary physical strength.”

Although Snowfall was the type to push its body mercilessly, it was impossible to compare it to the Ogre, a fighting race.

Smart asked while looking at the stars.

“Are you still doubting?”

“yes? “What…”

“Aren’t you worried that we are given even a weak intellect?”

“….”

As if he had mastered mind-reading skills, he immediately noticed Kang-seol’s worries.

“The greatest benefit I gained from taking down the tree was that I had an unlimited number of human books to read. From geography, history, philosophy and ethics. “I was able to get a glimpse into the entire human world.”

An ogre reads a human book.

So learn.

Kang Seol listened to Ddukduk’s story some more.

“It was interesting. Everything was born from humans. entire! And we have been completely excluded from their view of history. Not only this… In all kinds of heroic stories, ogres are portrayed as terrible beings and the humans who eradicate us are portrayed as heroes.”

The ogre’s history and the ogre’s perspective were not important at all. That is, before the existence of Smart.

Smart said while looking at the stars.

“Not anymore. Now…”

“What I want…”

“Prosperity, not survival.” “We want to know why we are born on this planet and cultivate life.”

The moment Kang Seol heard those words, she realized that she had heard something like this in the past.

– And so… Jamaard will reach the truth… why stars are born and why I was born.

‘Is that so… are all Irregulars like this?’

Since there had already been a similar case, it didn’t feel like Ttukgi’s thoughts were false.

Gray but vivid.

Kang Seol smiled slightly.

“I wish I could help, even if it’s just something simple.”

“I beg your pardon? ha ha ha! “Are you crazy to help an ogre?”

“….”

“Maybe we have more to help you with. And I truly want it.”

They want to give help rather than receive it.

Smart is a strange person.

“What we need now is… for someone somewhere in the world who is equal to us to listen to us.”

This may be why he wants to have a good relationship with Kang Seol.

“That we are not isolated, that there is a wider world, and that one day we can step into it. That fact is important.”

Kang Seol listened quietly to the story and took out a large box. It was the box that Dduktuk gave him at the Taiwanese banquet.

“This….”

“I’ll give it back. “The more we talk, the less I feel like receiving it.”

“How come? “There are other intentions…”

“These are things that can become obstacles in a relationship.”

Usually, people refuse a gift when they cannot meet the other person’s request.

Or…

“Faith alone is enough to give and receive. “Isn’t that right?”

It’s time to hope for a better relationship.

Smart recalled a touching passage he found in a book.

“… I truly feel the same way as you. “Friend.”

* * *

“Is that true?”

“Smart talk?”

“So you returned the box?”

This is what Snowfall told the group as she left Triam in the morning. They returned the box and said they were able to leave without any problems.

Kang Seol nodded, indicating that all these words were true.

“… good job! “They must be cursed items!”

“that’s right. It’s a bit uncomfortable, isn’t it? “Receiving things from the fallen.”

“What if the downfall disease spreads? Syndio is right.”

“There is no such disease, Jian.”

“doesn’t exist? “Aren’t you mistaken?”

Jian brightened the mood of the group.

“Anyway, I think it’s best to forget what happened at Treeam. “Because it was a strange night.”

“To talk to an ogre that resembles a human and feast on the meat of a heroic spirit. “No matter where you go in the world, you will hear bragging.”

Phuddudduk…

A bird flying towards Sindio. Just like last time, it was a bird created with magic.

Paper hanging from the bird’s feet.

“hmm? “There are two?”

Sindio unfolded a rolled up piece of paper. Sindio, who had been reading it for a while, spoke to Kangseol.

“It is progressing according to the set schedule. The expedition team is following us at an appropriate distance. And I think the information I shared earlier was conveyed well. More than that…”

Sigh…

A piece of paper with a crow seal was handed to Kang Seol.

“This is not for me to read.”

Snowfall nodded and infused magical energy into the seal.

Huuuuk…

[The seal imbued with magic is released.]

Pararak…

When I opened the paper, something strange happened.

Slurp…

An illusion of Ur appeared on the paper.

Very small ur to fit the size of paper.

– Snowfall The information you sent was well received. This image is not me, so don’t waste your energy unnecessarily.

“No, it’s amazing… How is this possible with magic?”

Sindio, a wizard like Ur, also gaped at the letter in front of him.

– Not long ago, several home addicts had seizures.

‘… Seizure?’

Drug addicts often show signs of addiction, but they never lead to seizures.

– It is said that he rolled out his eyes and started attacking those around him. Fortunately, there was no major damage as there were elderly people and children from the slums, but several children showing similar symptoms appeared.

Kangseol nodded at Ur’s explanation.

– I plan to find out about this. I also tried manufacturing seaweed for my own business. This is a letter sent to make you aware.

Slurp…

Ur’s image disappeared.

When Kangseol quickly looked at Jian, who had also heard Ur’s words, he grinned and pointed his finger to his temple.

“… Is this also an oath?”

“It doesn’t help at all! “Can’t I just leave that person here?”

Jian responded to Sindio’s distressing words.

“Then who do you plan on spying on?”

“… I’m just saying this from experience.”

Kangseol separately wrote down the facts he found out during this expedition and tied them to the bird’s leg.

“Let’s go now. “I have set aside the topic of the Deki tribe for the expedition, so we will take our time when entering Horus.”

“It doesn’t matter to us, but if a problem arises on the expedition, they will have to take responsibility themselves.”

“of course. “From the beginning, I was opposed to this expedition…”

“Tsk… The nobles thought you would be captured by us.”

“That’s right! That’s what makes me angry! What do you know about me?…”

“There are some uncomfortable aspects of nobles. Well, I’m going to be late if I keep doing this. Go to Horus.”

The group’s footsteps began heading north. Since the area they were passing through was located in a somewhat warm northern part of the country, they were able to reach the Horus Mountains without much inconvenience.

“I can’t even see the landmark from here.”

“Unless you are blind, you will know that spirit spirits reside on Mount Horus, and anyone can see that this is Mount Horus, right?”

Whioooo…

A feeling of coldness lingered in my mind.

My soul, not my body, was cold.

“Isn’t it eerie?”

“It feels like my whole body is being purified… but it’s not a good feeling because I’m polluted down to my bones.”

“You succeeded in self-objectification. No, rather… the spiritual energy here is too strong for humans to endure.”

I experienced snowfall a few times while traveling around the East to areas where spiritual energy was strong. There were cases where spiritual energy degenerated and became demonic energy, but whatever.

‘It’s similar to the air of Socheon World.’

There was no way that Snowfall, who had been playing the Eternal World for a long time, would not know about the existence of Mount Horus. Of course, I knew that it was a mountain with strong spiritual energy, but actually experiencing it gave me a new feeling.

While the snowfall was feeling its magical energy, the presence of Horus residents appeared surrounding the area.

right-!

Ooooh-!

“Wow, it’s an indigenous sound. “I guess they’re from the Deki tribe!”

“It seems better not to make a fuss. “I need to let you know that I have no intention of attacking you.”

“Why don’t you come back during the day? “We need to see something to talk to each other…”

That was then.

– Boo.

“… Didn’t you just say that owl is an owl?”

“If an owl is an owl, then what do you say?”

“No… that’s not it… I said it was really an owl, not a howl.”

In the direction Sindio pointed, a plump owl was looking in this direction.

– Boo.

“Hey, me! Look at that!”

“Really… what is it?”

Only Kang Seol calmly looked up at the owl and asked.

“Cairo, the wise spirit of the owl.”

– … boo.

“Please make way.”

Sindio laughed.

“What are you doing to the owl…”

The owl, which had been expressionless, was colored with the light of green jade. It was as transparent as a jade statue.

– Gentiles, I will see you for myself.

“…did you say it?”

When Sindio opened his mouth in bewilderment, Jian closed his mouth and said.

“Ogres also talk about it.”

“Ah… I did. “Then it would be possible.”

The owl flapped its wings and crossed to the next tree. And then he turned his head and said.

– Walk ten steps behind you.

Jian, who was following Kang Seol, asked.

“What happens if the hero rejects us?”

“You’ll be kicked out, right?”

“And what about the council bastards?”

“… I need to think about not getting kicked out.”

I climbed the beginning of Mount Horus with a nervous mind.

– Stop there.

Soon a mysterious light spread out from the darkness.

The location is heaven.

Ooh oh oh …

“큭 ….

”

An owl as large as Motutu, the wild boar spirit they had seen earlier, broke a tree and landed near them.

Quaaaaaa…

– I am Cairo.

Kang Seol and the group bowed their heads.

[Amazing discovery! Witness the spirit of Mother Nature.]

[Get to know the wise Cairo.]

[Wisdom increases permanently by 5.]

From now on, Cairo’s reaction determines whether what they will experience in Horus will be suffering or happiness.

– The stranger smells like a familiar soul.

At that moment, everyone’s spine went cold.

‘this!’

– Motutu… the smell of a sturdy boar.

Cairo accurately guessed the identity of the lingering scent, as if the coat smelled like meat.

– No way… you guys killed Motutu…

Kangseol quickly opened his mouth and made an excuse.

“This is due to circumstances…”

– Go back! You, Gentiles, will not have Horus!

My eyesight became dizzy.

‘… Did you eat it for no reason?’

But it was a little unfair.

How dare you refuse food that increases your stats by 50 or more. Also, he wasn’t in the mood to refuse to give it to her…

‘I don’t think any excuses will work…’

Kiyi…

The owl puffed out his cheeks.

A fierce expression, as if the wind is about to blow out at any moment.

– Leave! If you don’t leave right away…

it was then.

Kiruruuuuk-!

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

…

_

– What are you doing during meditation? Why did you come down the mountain?

Cairo was startled and scolded the being that flew here.

Gian and Sindio shouted.

“Bow down!”

“damn!”

The two of them and Tansia were lying flat on their faces, but Snowfall and the twin knights were standing blankly.

Whioooooooo…

The wind died down and the huge bird that had just flown approached Snowfall.

Gurgling…

And then it rubbed its huge beak against his body.

“… Koopa?”

Cairo asked with air in his cheeks.

– … You are acquainted with the stranger Koopa?
