The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 539

“I know.”

“… what?”

“What are you saying now? “That author knows immortality?”

“Is it true that immortality has returned?”

The meeting quickly turned into a mess. The immortal Thaliad is a person whose name alone can cause many problems.

‘… There were some who knew.’

Among the reactions that passed by in a split second, Kang Seol caught a few reactions that were different from others.

Even if they were not involved in the war that led to the end of the human era, there are people who already know at least something about how the events of two years ago occurred.

“Hmm….”

Mael seemed to notice Kangseol’s feelings.

Even he won’t be able to quiet this commotion.

In the end, it is something that Kang Seol must explain step by step.

“I’m curious.”

When Snowfall was wondering how to make a fortune, the Golden King appropriately intervened.

“Why do you say that he is the greatest danger?”

Hooky asked Jabil, who had a tattooed face.

Jabil answered bluntly.

“Because I’m strong.”

“… strong?”

The Golden King does not know immortality.

You may have doubts because you don’t know.

There were also those who felt the legend of Thaliad firsthand, and they vividly conveyed his power to the Golden King.

“I’ve seen immortality.”

Snowfall’s words Gwyn said.

A boy with a cold face.

Everyone couldn’t believe it.

“huh? what are you talking about? “Would you have turned your back on the world when you were a baby or an immortal?”

“Did you even have a dream like that?”

Those who ignore Gwyn.

However, Kang Seol knew Gwyn well.

Nevertheless, Gwyn’s words made Snowfall shake.

‘You saw immortality? I don’t remember meeting Gwynn?’

Snowfall is surprising for a different reason than the crowd.

Gwynn comes up with a reason that everyone can understand.

“My body is a child, but it is not a child. Your body doesn’t age after something happens. “It’s the same for the older sister next to me.”

“Call me Regrif! Let’s all get along well. … Hi-Hi.”

“And… it would be better to say that I saw him from afar, rather than say that I met the immortal in person. “You are truly… amazing. Talliad.”

If Gwyn had seen immortality from afar, the snowfall made sense.

The Golden King asked Gwyn.

“What if he competes with Fuki?”

“I have only confirmed a portion of your power. So you don’t know. Likewise, we have only seen part of Talliad’s power. “Comparison is impossible.”

“If absolute comparison is impossible, tell me your opinion.”

“Taliad is above. more.”

The Golden King slightly trembled his eyebrows.

It was an insulting remark, but an absolute comparison was impossible in the first place, and it was she who forced the answer, so she did not do the foolish thing of reaching out to Gwyn.

But it was still clear that I felt bad.

To break the mood, Scorpio Magic Tower Archmage Jaune intervened.

“Taliad, who was called the Immortal, was considered the strongest warlock throughout long history. “Because he was one of those who shook up the times.”

He scratched his chin and continued.

“I think it would probably be at a similar level to the Archduke of Frost…”

“Puhahaha! “You old man, are you dragging Azran in just because his arm is bent inward again?”

“Shut up! What do you know about the pinnacle of magic? Even Azran’s snot will freeze you. “I actually…”

He had witnessed Azran materialized in all things.

That too, along with Santio next to him and Snowfall, who has become a huge powerhouse. However, I had to think a little bit about whether I could blurt out this story.

“Actually what? “Frozen in Azran’s snot?”

“… done. Anyway, someone that strong went to the New World first… I can’t believe my pride, but I’m angry that it somehow seems like he could do it.”

Mercenary leader Neil the Iron Lion asked Kang Seol.

“But what does it mean to know the Thaliad?”

As soon as the surroundings seemed to be in order, Kang Seol spoke comfortably.

“I only ran into him once.”

“When was that…”

“I guess it was about two years ago.”

Ever since the words “two years ago” came out, people’s eyes have become mischievous.

“… I have no obligation to tell you the details.”

“Well, just because you say it, it’s not something we can trust, and it doesn’t mean our relationship will change.”

“No, you…”

said the Jabil Immortal Reaper who was executing him.

“You… collided with that guy. yes?”

“….”

“You faced Talyad?”

“lie! He’s definitely strong, but how can he be immortal….”

“It doesn’t make sense that he survived!”

People unconsciously place their opponent’s combat power in a similar line to that of the opponent they faced.

If done wrong, it could have been distorted into thinking that Kangseol was clearly as strong as immortality.

Viewers also sensed a strange atmosphere in the audience.

– It seems like something big has happened.

– I am not as strong as I thought! It’s strong, but not as strong as you think!

– Hey, you said you were close to Bulsaeng, right? Can I talk on the phone?

‘It’s not good.’

Snowfall changed the topic.

“How about we stop talking about immortality? “My story has nothing to do with the expedition.”

The gaze that had been focused on Kang Seol shifted to another direction this time. The reason is because of a question someone raised.

“How do you know that the immortals have gone to the New World?”

“Because I can feel it.”

“What kind of nonsense is that…”

“There must be at least one person here who remembers my name. Then you will believe it even if you don’t want to believe it.”

“…your name? So, we don’t know who you are. Mael knows…”

“It’s Jabil.”

Jabil blurted out that he had nothing to worry about.

“Jabil?”

“It’s Jabil…”

“That tattoo on that still face…”

Some people are shocked at the name Jabil.

“Executing Jabil?”

“He’s an immortal henchman!”

“what?”

Grumbling…

An expedition member gets up, even pushing the chair.

“Did the immortal send it?”

“You bastard! Why are you here?…”

When Jabil’s identity is revealed, Yumira turns to several leaders of the ruin hunter unit she leads and says something.

“Looking at the reaction, it looks like another bomb has been found… I wonder if this thing can float a ship.”

The Golden King and snowfall that is unfamiliar to them.

When it was revealed that Jabil, an immortal messenger, was also part of the expedition, people complained.

“It’s a bit too much to be in the same boat with these kids.”

Jabil responded with an expressionless expression.

“I am not his subordinate now.”

“How can you believe that?”

“Whether you believe it or not, I’m just telling you the truth. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even talked about it.”

It’s not wrong.

And to begin with, there is not a single trustworthy person here.

The emergence of a new continent on an unprecedented scale.

An era moving in a dangerous direction. Those who trusted may also betray that trust in these situations.

“In the end, I had a lot of worries, but nothing was resolved.”

“Why don’t we do this for today? “There’s still some time left until departure.”

Departure is in four days.

Mael asks.

“Is there anyone who refuses to participate in the expedition? If you have any….”

“….”

“….”

We argued over the previous stories, but no one was passive about participating in the expedition. Because they are all worthy people.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow. “Starting tomorrow, we will adjust the details of the expedition.”

“It’s appropriate.”

Ugh…

Golden King Fuki was the first to leave.

She disappeared with her followers without any regrets, and soon many people began to disperse.

Except for Jabil, Gwynn, and Snowfall, everyone seemed to have brought their forces, and lodgings for that number of people were scattered throughout Mispa Port, so everyone left diligently.

A message occurred to Kang Seol.

Adventure 43 ‘Time Between Dogs and Wolves’

An expedition scheduled to head to the new continent of Gorgosia.

Many renowned forces participated in the expedition, and among them there were also dangerous people.

If such people are capricious, the expedition’s flag will be burned as soon as it reaches Gorgozia.

You are one of the strongest players in the expedition, but it is nearly impossible to predict what will happen in the future.

Everyone is your mate at sea, but not everyone is your friend on land.

All members of the expedition were given three nights. This is enough time to look out for each other under the cover of darkness and build strategic partnerships.

How you spend this time will make a big difference in your future situation.

Goal: Improve pre-expedition relationships.

Please note this adventure is not compulsory.

Caution: This adventure is a long journey.

Current remaining time 「Unknown」

* * *

On the first night, Snowfall had a close meeting with the Archmages of the Zodiac and the two heroes of Khan.

At first, the main purpose seemed to be a drinking party to let go of past worries, but as the atmosphere matured, the conversation became more serious.

“Seol, do you plan on coming to Cannes anytime soon?”

“Hahaha! Okay, let’s come over sometime. “I will treat you with the utmost respect.”

Kang Seol chuckled.

“If we get a chance. “First of all, the expedition must end successfully.”

“Yes… Seolhong doesn’t want to show it, but he misses you a lot.”

“….”

“I’m not saying it’s a burden. That’s because you are following your own path.”

When we talk like this, Kang Seol goes back to the time when he was busy traveling around the East.

It was definitely true that his time with them made him grow.

“If you’re going to talk a lot about trivial things, wouldn’t you let the old man talk too?”

“Iknow, right.”

Jaune and Santio expressed their dissatisfaction lightly.

“Ugh! sorry! “Then shall we now talk, not as friends, but as Khan’s messenger?”

Chiwoo’s humorous expression naturally disappeared and was replaced by a serious mood.

“Come with us on this expedition.”

“… what?”

No one was embarrassed by that story.

‘…Has talk already been exchanged between the two groups?’

A little bit of disappointment.

Also, I felt tickled for no reason when I saw Chiu who seemed to have grown up.

However, even though Kang Seol was ridiculously small in scale, he was still the leader of the tent and there could be no disagreement about the fact that he still possessed great power.

“Actually, we had a close conversation with Zodiac even before we left here.”

“Puh-huh… It’s also a long-standing cooperative relationship with Khan. Especially after the empire passed under the reign of King Kong. “It would be embarrassing to say that we are trustworthy colleagues.”

Chiu said, nodding his head at Jaune’s words.

“That’s right, I predicted that the expedition would end up in this situation. Khan wants to be with people he can trust. Zodiac is a great companion. And I thought that was enough until I got here…”

“The Golden King. Her strength was far beyond my expectations. “Maybe this wolf friend got into trouble today.”

“The absolute strong make all values meaningless. “If the Golden King had his way, our strength and fleet would burn up in an instant.”

Jangdu intervened.

“Actually, we didn’t know you were coming here. “How surprised we were when he showed up there…”

“How big of a mouth is that damned troll? “If I had known in advance, I would have sent a messenger first.”

Chiu summarized the story.

“We trust you. So… can you trust us while we’re with the expedition?”

Kang Seol responded with an expressionless face.

“Should I answer to my friend Chiu, or should I answer to the Khan’s messenger?”

“… First, answer the Khan’s messenger.”

“Are Zodiac and Khan the only ones who can trust each other?”

“… Among the ruin hunters who joined the expedition, there is a person named Mira Yu. “Her forces were planted by us.”

Khan Zodiac and some Relic Hunters.

A group that can be strong if seen as strong, and weak if seen as weak.

Kang Seol was worried.

‘I don’t know how the situation in Gorgozia will turn out. As long as immortality moves, even I could end up in a dangerous situation. But…’

The two heroes of Khan present here, the two Archmages of Zodiac, are one of the few people that Kang Seol can trust without question.

“Ask Khan’s messenger again. “What does Khan want to discover in the New World?”

“… do you know that Khan prevented the last disaster with minimal damage?”

“know.”

“The power of our prophecy has become stronger. In fact, Khan prevented the disaster and became confident in the prophecy.”

“It’s a prophecy…”

Kang Seol grinned.

“Another prophecy has fallen.”

“… answer.”

Jangdu stroked his chin.

“Khan is now preparing for an unprecedented war.”

“… what?”

“According to the prophecy, the coming disaster will be incomparable to the disaster that occurred two years ago. “You can’t believe it or not.”

“We determined that the seeds of the disaster were in Gorgozia. Because the prophecy also points to that place.”

Snowfall turned her gaze to Jaune.

Jaune responded as if he had prepared.

“The Zodiac is also keeping an eye on the unknown magic flowing from the New Continent. “If a disaster even bigger than the one two years ago really happens like Khan predicted… we must prevent it with our own hands.”

They obediently gave their information. There seemed to be no warning about snowfall.

Snowfall asks them.

“Why do you trust me? “If I…”

“Seol-ah.”

Chiwoo laughed.

“There are no ifs. “At least the snowfall I know of.”

“….”

“He’s someone I can’t help but trust.”

Sigh-!

Kang Seol clumped his palms together and cleared his place.

“Depending on the situation, we may not be able to help.”

“If a situation arises where you feel like that, isn’t it already over?”

Blood…

[Force: Establish a close relationship with the Khan’s Expedition.]

[Force: Establish a close relationship with the Zodiac’s Expedition.]

…

On the first night, Snowfall thought that this relationship would be the best.

Until we receive an unexpected guest the next night.

Crumbling!

Shootaaaaa…

Because of the rain, everyone went back to their accommodations early and took a break.

Boom…

Boom…

Suddenly, all the lights in Kangseol’s dorm exploded.

“…It’s also noisy.”

Squeak…

When Kangseol opened the door, a woman with an unusual umbrella was standing there.

“Bring the hookie in.”

The Golden King Hooky found him.

Kang Seol frowned and responded.

“Reimburse me.”
