The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 523

‘… Jamad.’

Kang Seol looked at a memory that she had not bothered to look at.

I haven’t seen Jamard since the war. The news of him was finally known two years later, when he defeated Geamong, the original god of the mountain, and usurped the power of the original god of the mountain.

There is no further interaction.

In the first place, Jamard was currently freed from his contract with Kang Seol. By his own strength, he reached great heights and escaped bondage.

I didn’t feel like it was worth mentioning more about this.

It wasn’t because Jamard was desperately trying to escape his restraints, and there wasn’t a huge grudge between him and Jamard.

We just naturally broke up.

Just as when there is a meeting there is a separation.

Just walking down the path in front of Kangseol was overwhelming. There was no time for him to feel betrayed or lust for control by the other summoned beasts that left his embrace.

Or, if you think about it now, was your relationship with them simply a contractual relationship of domination and domination?

“….”

Karen, who noticed that Kang Seol’s expression had darkened, patted him on the back.

“Kahaha! I finally found it. Damn you! “If you come to your senses, you should come back right away!”

“I don’t understand, but… well, he might be busy taking care of some backlogged work.”

Even Karuna joked.

Mael asked vaguely.

“Are you sure… he hasn’t contacted you at all?”

“… Mael.”

Kang Seol explained that her relationship with Jamad is now different from before.

“Hmm… there was such a situation. He is also in the process of walking his own path… In fact, no one can stop his desire…”

“Can you tell me more about the general mobilization order?”

“That’s literally it. “All the troll tribes under the control of the Tribal Alliance gather together on the same day.”

“What about neighboring countries?”

“Since the incident you mentioned two years ago, everyone has become passive about external affairs. “It will probably lead to a state of tension around the time of the Wonshinje, but no special military action will be seen.”

It’s an obvious story.

Most people will ignore the actions of the tribal federation using the decline of national power and the disaster experienced two years ago as an excuse.

“The power of the Tribal Federation…is there no change?”

“If you are talking about decline, it would be right to say absolutely no. On the contrary, the power of the Federation is stronger than ever.”

“Um…”

Kang Seol remained silent.

It was clear that the power of the tribal alliance growing without checks would bring about another disaster on the continent.

“However, that refers to the total amount of power, and the situation within the tribal alliance seems to be different.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes, there are signs of infighting.”

“…infighting?”

“It has been a long time since the Sixth Great Tribe… or rather, the Reed Wind Tribe, which was the great tribe of the Gust of Storms, was completely destroyed, so it would be more correct to call them the Five Great Tribes. In any case, it appears that the solidarity of the five major tribes is weaker than expected.”

“… ah!”

The five major tribes, excluding the gusts.

Steel mountain, sulfur skull, glacier maw, fear, thunderbolt, tall wings.

Except for the Iron Mountain and the Dread Thunderbolt, they were all tribes that had a history of encountering them.

Some of them are pretty deep.

“…is there a problem?”

“It’s also because of the Genshin system, which is planned from the fight for leadership.”

“Wonsinjera….”

“It looks like they are busy, starting with the Presbyterian Church. It is openly said that if they advance again, the era of trolls will come…”

“If the era of trolls comes, will it be good for Mael?”

Mael rested his chin and thought, then smiled.

“I don’t think it would be good. “They don’t love history.”

“Haha…”

“Furthermore, this is information that was difficult to obtain, but…”

“Is there any other information?”

“Some say that the rift between the great tribes was actually intentional.”

“… Is that really true?”

Snowfall also had an idea about this.

‘If it’s Jamard…’

Mael said calmly.

“It is a rumor that several large tribes as well as small and medium-sized tribes are uniting around Jamard.”

“… also.”

“Jamade died once. The remnants of the leading tribe, the Rock Fang, have already been torn apart and absorbed into the Tribal Alliance. From the tribal alliance’s perspective, there is no need to accept Jamard’s existence, but…”

“His presence will be necessary.”

“you’re right. “He definitely took the power of the living Genshin.”

“Anyway, did they announce that they would accept Jamard?”

“On the surface, it looks like that.”

“I could drag you in and kill you.”

“ha ha ha! “That is also true.”

“How will Jamard react?”

“What do you think he answered?”

Mael asks while tilting his head.

Snowfall just laughs.

“I guess he accepted it.”

“you’re right. “I didn’t avoid it.”

“Have other great tribes noticed Jamard’s suspicious behavior?”

“I might have my suspicions, but… I’m not sure. One way or another, the result may be the same…”

“What does Jamard ultimately want?”

Mael laughs and Kangseol answers herself.

“… fight. “This guy… will fight anyone who stands in his way.”

“… maybe.”

I noticed Jamard’s intentions and felt disappointed at the same time.

“Why didn’t he look for me?”

“That’s a simple question. Isn’t that because… it’s his own fight? “Maybe you thought it had nothing to do with you.”

“It has nothing to do with me…”

Kang Seol thought deeply.

If something happens.

If Jamard risks everything that day and fights….

“Mael.”

“….”

“Can you tell me the location of the tribal alliance and the date of the Yuanshin Emperor?”

“…Are you planning on going? “At that moment on that day, it was probably a more dangerous place than anywhere else in Pandea, right?”

I can’t answer yet.

“… Just be aware.”

Mael chuckled.

“Then I’ll just tell you.”

* * *

Whioooooo…

Artisan Orgo took out a pitch-black sword from the huge fire.

Black flames stuck out like tongues, but quickly became quiet.

Clunk –

Orgo put the sword into the previously prepared scabbard and held it out to Siloi.

“Now take it. “It’s the last thing I make.”

“It’s amazing… How can such strength…”

“It’s a trivial feat. “A guy like you doesn’t have the strength to go to a place like this.”

“….”

Chin…

Silence hovered in his forge.

silence.

Except for Shiloi, no other people were around.

“Isn’t it a lie to say that we are gathering like-minded brothers?”

“… When did you start to notice?”

“I have eyes to see people. “From the beginning, I didn’t believe this guy who was telling lies from beginning to end.”

“I wanted to be trusted a little bit… So, you know… I have a question.”

Nod…

Orgo nodded, signaling that he would answer. He was not at all intimidated by Siloi’s monstrous energy and acted as he saw fit.

“And yet… why are you handing this to me?”

“It’s nothing much. “ Just…”

“Just?”

“… Because you look lonely.”

“….”

Shiloi’s expression hardens.

The relaxed look that had always appeared on his face suddenly showed his displeasure.

“He had that much power, so it would have been fine without my added power. But the reason why you came to me and asked me to be with you is… obvious.”

“… stop.”

“You’re being scared. A path that must be walked alone. If you’re not going to be able to handle it, you’d better quit now….”

“Mouth….”

Paaaaah-!

Siloi grabs Orgo’s collar.

“Shut up… what do you know…”

“If not, I guess I’m mistaken… what are you planning to do by taking the sword from me?”

“Heehee… heeheehee….”

She grinned.

“Very cool! You will die wonderfully! “Because I am immortal.”

“… Do whatever you want.”

Sigh…

Siloi let go of the collar and turned around.

It feels a bit genuine.

“Let’s go together.”

“hate.”

“I can’t refuse?”

“You can refuse.”

“… What if you plan to take me by force?”

“Puhuhuh….”

Orgo laughed.

And then he says something scary.

“What are we going to do with the body?”

“… what?”

As soon as he said those words, Shiloi turned around.

Fuuuuk…

A black dagger was stuck in Orgo’s palm.

“… why?”

“I passed away. “This power is not something that should be given to a dangerous person like you.”

“Let’s destroy it together! don’t go!”

“Let me add one thing before my body completely stiffens. “When you draw my sword, you must be sincere.”

“….”

“If you choose me, do it sincerely. “It’s not false like your words and actions.”

“… meddling.”

“Get out now.”

Pajik…

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The dagger that pierced the back of Orgo’s hand shattered, sending out a strange shock wave.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

The shock wave disappeared far away in an instant and all that was left was Orgo, who had hardened into stone.

Is this what black and blue are like?

He turned himself into ore.

“Siloi!”

“It’s okay Bisha. “Let’s go.”

“Are you okay? That guy…”

“Oh, he turned into a stone.”

“Should I break it? If you say so…”

The ground… the ground…

Siloi bends his middle finger and strikes it.

“No, even Grabo can’t break something like this.”

“There’s no way something like that would be possible…”

“Hahaha! All of my father’s children are amazing! It happened right in front of your eyes, right? “What is it…”

Siloi looked back with a slightly depressed expression.

“I feel a little lonely.”

“Siloi….”

“Let’s go Bisha. “To the next destination.”

“… yes!”

Orgo turned himself into ore.

The waves that flew out when his dagger broke must have reached someone.

* * *

Shootaaa…

“It’s raining again….”

“I’m glad we’re in the carriage this time, though.”

“I know.”

The carriage lurched along the country road. The countryside is so deep that even the coachman would have refused if he had not been paid extra.

“Why did you come here?”

“I need to find something.”

Kangseol answered Karen’s question.

What to look for.

Of course, it is the maintenance of words.

Kangseol plans to collect all of the remaining horses he has left when he can afford it.

A region of the Portra Kingdom famous for its elite knights. Nowadays, there are great difficulties in traveling between countries, but with Chameli’s identity guarantee, the speed of movement is much faster.

‘Anyway, if it’s Portra… he’s the only one out there.’

I am slightly hesitant to describe it as that guy.

“uh? “It’s over!”

When the carriage stopped, Karen checked the window, opened the door, and went out.

Kang Seol also told the coachman that he would pay the price and prepare a place for him, so please wait. I could have run into trouble and had to leave right away.

“Come with me, Karen.”

“come fast! “It feels like I’m on vacation!”

Pisik…

The surrounding scenery is a quiet countryside itself.

With a small amount of farmland, the mansion had a rough but solid feel.

Snowfall’s destination was that villa.

His compass was clearly pointing there.

Here are his words. As soon as

I

approached the mansion and proved my identity to the guard, the front door opened and a middle-aged woman wearing glasses appeared

.

“Oh my god… I didn’t hear from you… Did you have any connection with my father?”

“… That’s right.”

As long as you have the identity proof of Pope Chameli of Baranoa, you are invincible. I felt mentally comfortable starting a relationship without the other person being suspicious.

The problem is…

the words that woman just said.

father.

The middle-aged woman was literally middle-aged.

His wrinkles were small, his appearance was large, and he accepted his age naturally.

If you are the father of such a woman.

‘… He’s an old man.’

Da-da-da-da…

A sound like running was heard from inside.

“Uh oh… avoid the blood!”

“… yes?”

“Father sometimes… uh….”

Twaaaaaaaaaa!

Someone swung a wooden barrel towards the snowfall and sprayed water on it.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Karen and

Karuna

sneaked away to dodge, but they did not dodge the snowfall.

As a result, my whole body got wet.

Sobering coldness.

“Hey… hey… he came to kill me!”

“father!”

“It’s clear! That guy’s eyes are wrong! “He’s the one who came to take my last breath!”

“What is this to you… father!”

An old man with white hair was dragged by the residents of the mansion.

“You can’t let that guy in the house! never!”

“I’m sorry. My father was not in his right mind after falling from a horse, so…”

“Ha… haha…”

Kang Seol laughed.

What the old man said was not wrong, and he had predicted this situation to some extent.

“Then may I ask you to guide me?”

“Sure.”

Kang Seol grinned and walked away with great strides.

His horse Philsword.

A powerful person who served as the leader of the knights of the Kingdom of Portra.

And…a horse that fell off a horse one day and had a problem.

Pilsod suffered from dementia.
