The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 537

While Snowfall was on his way to Port Mispa, a new letter was delivered to him.

The person who sent the letter was, of course, Mael.

He gave Kang Seol one piece of information.

– There is someone who brought up a new story about the black dragon that disappeared towards Gorgozia. How about meeting them briefly during your journey?

It was information that could be of great concern for snowfall.

There wasn’t much that could be found out simply from the information that the black dragon had crossed over to the New World.

Boom boom…

“Are you there?”

Kang Seol deliberately made a loud noise so as not to startle the other person and spoke as softly as possible.

“Who are you? “Is this your first time hearing this voice?”

“I found this because I had something to ask the old man.”

“I was going to ask you a question… Ah… I guess that’s why I came. “You mean the land beyond the fog?”

“It’s similar.”

“… Is there a dangerous plan? “I don’t have any secrets!”

“That won’t happen.”

“Hmm…”

Kiiiiik…

The door opened and an old man with bronze skin who looked like he had been working in the scorching sun for quite some time appeared.

“Come in, it’s time for dinner so we can have a chat.”

“thank you.”

Snowfall entered the old house with the twin knights.

“So… what made you so curious that you looked for me?”

I got straight to the point from the beginning.

“I heard that you were one of the people who saw the black dragon that day.”

“that’s right! I was lucky. Oh my god, it was a real dragon! I think I’ve heard thousands of times now that I’m just mistaken for a large bird. Um… no, hundreds of times….”

“Can you explain what happened that day?”

“There won’t be any problem. Oh, so…”

The old man was a janitor on a trading ship, and while sailing, he was hit by a storm and was washed up, causing the ship to drift into the ocean. At that time, he caught something surrounded by fog in his field of vision.

“It was clear that it was land! cancer! Anyone who has ever worked on a ship would have said that. Anyway, we were going to head there. But no matter how much I went, the distance didn’t narrow.”

“… I can’t approach you.”

“Yes, I was so discouraged and exhausted that I thought I was going to die in the scorching sun like this, but suddenly a cool breeze blew? I was startled and looked up at the sky to see a dragon crossing our ship in an instant and disappearing into the land beyond the fog. How amazing is that? Isn’t it amazing? “I really saw a dragon!”

Up to this point, this is what I have heard about snowfall.

“Are you sure it’s pitch black?”

“that’s right. Uh… isn’t it… I saw it from afar so it might not be clear. Still, seeing as everyone says it was a black dragon, it is probably true that it was black.”

“But… I heard that there are parts of this story that only the elders speak differently.”

“They have a sprained eye! I saw it right! There was something on the dragon’s back. person! “There was a person on board!”

“Hmm…”

Kang Seol frowned.

‘Who did Tansia go with?’

Anxiety suddenly came to me.

“Are you sure?”

“Uh… uh… But I didn’t have time to check if it was a man or a woman. It was so quick…”

“The story behind that…”

“I don’t know. “The storm hit again and I thought it was over and lost consciousness, but luckily I was rescued.”

“All right.”

“ah! There is one. But I can’t tell if this is a dream, a delusion, or reality…”

“It’s okay, you can tell me.”

The old man said.

“Long breath.”

“breath?”

“I heard a long breathing sound beyond the fog. “Maybe that wasn’t the dragon’s breath?”

“….”

Kang Seol smiled.

“… thank you.”

Kang Seol tried to solve his curiosity, but ended up with a new question.

It was about 15 days before the expedition team’s meeting schedule.

* * *

A total of four shiny golden carriages. The chariots moved loudly apart on either side of the Golden King.

The Golden King’s behavior was unusual.

Long black hair down to her waist and golden eyes. A thin chain-shaped decoration across the nose and cheekbones.

Although he wore somewhat revealing traditional clothing of unknown origin, it did not look vulgar at all. No, on the contrary, it created an aura that cannot be easily accessed.

Although she was an outstanding beauty, it evoked feelings closer to the awe of an admirably well-made statue rather than a dark heart, and this, combined with the energy of the Golden King, revealed that she was a strong and dangerous person.

“….”

The Golden King looked down vaguely and spoke to the audience who were staring at her in a awkward posture as if they were about to get up.

“Huki.”

“….”

“Why do you hesitate, you foolish people, even though you must bow down to the king?”

Although Fuki was a powerful king who awoke from her tomb two years ago when a new era began, the people gathered here were not all that easy.

One of the kings of the great empire Khan.

Chiu, Seolhong’s closest associate, answered.

“I bow only to my king.”

Others also added their words one by one.

“You have to know who it is to be polite. Let’s have a drink with the expedition members tonight and talk about it separately. Hahaha!”

“You are Fukiro. I really wanted to meet you.”

“You appeared out of nowhere.”

Fuki looked at them with an unpleasant expression for a moment, which made the two golden giants standing behind her move.

Coo…

coo…

Beings bigger than Jangdu.

These were one of the powers possessed by the Golden King Fuki.

“It’s not that difficult to turn irreverence into fear.”

Swoosh…

someone approaching her side.

“But that’s not always the best.”

“Mael, curious troll. “What is your method?”

“I wonder if you would like to stay here and talk with them about the future. “We don’t have much time, and if the Golden King gets angry, the expedition schedule may be disrupted.”

“… It would be difficult for the expedition to be delayed. “I will accept your advice.”

“Thank you, Golden King.”

Some kind of strange relationship.

Mael was the one who brought everyone here together, but no one knew how he brought in the eccentric character known as the Golden King.

The wizard with the new sign of the zodiac hanging from his robe asked.

“Can you tell me about your relationship with the author Mael? “If I do something wrong, I think it will be a big problem on the expedition.”

“I tried to explain it to you little by little. But we need to put out the fire first before the alert gets any bigger. “My meeting with Fuki came after Pandea was shaken.”

Mael told about a mysterious thing he had experienced.

A tectonic shift that occurred after the war.

A massive underground tomb was discovered in the process.

Naturally, Mael, a member of the Relic Society, rushed there a month later and uncovered the secrets of the tomb.

The tomb’s vast history was recorded clearly, albeit intermittently, and indicated who was buried here and what a great person he was.

“Mesf.”

“Mesph?”

“Fuki looks no different from a human on the outside, but in reality, he’s not like us… no, not me. “I am different from you all.”

“He’s completely human?”

“The most understandable explanation would be to say that Mesph is a personification of a spirit rooted in Pandea. “They manipulate elements that suit their aptitude from birth, and comparing their magic conductivity with humans is so overwhelming that it is almost like a meaningless act.”

“Hmm… So you’re saying they’re born magicians. “Interesting.”

Mael nodded.

“you’re right. It is said that Mesp was a magical society, and all the high-ranking people were powerful enough to reach the rank of archmage. And according to records, the Golden King was the most powerful archmage in their history.”

“Hahaha! Since we’re both wizards, it’ll make sense! But you’re not saying the really important thing. “How did that woman end up here?”

Mael explained this.

“I encountered it while grave robbing.”

“….”

“To be precise, should I say that I encountered those two shining eyes while delving into the secrets of the tomb?”

“… It’s brave that you didn’t die.”

“ha ha ha! Because I begged for it. “I told him to grant me his wish as I would leave everything as is.”

“wish?”

Fuki spoke dryly, probably remembering that time.

“He was curious about me. This little troll was far from the beast I knew… and it saved his life.”

“Oh my! That’s it! Okay, so the Golden King is a man of considerable ability… Is that why you called him here to ask him out?”

“It’s not just about that.”

Mael looked at Fuki, thought for a moment, and then looked outside.

“Seeing that we still can’t see it, I have no choice but to start a meeting soon.”

“Who else is scheduled to come other than those gathered here? “If you come late and see this absurd woman, you might faint.”

“Hahaha! “Maybe so.”

Mael said awkwardly.

“I was informed that it would take some time to deliver the news so late.”

A cute woman with a playful face in a corner said.

“To be late for something this important… does that mean I’m a jerk or someone who can be forgiven for being late?”

Next to the woman who spoke, a 10-year-old boy who looked like her younger brother spoke in a cold tone.

“I can’t wait for just one person. “I think that would be upsetting.”

Others agreed.

“That’s right, all these people can’t waste their time waiting for one idiot.”

“Just come here and I’ll kick your ass and throw you into the sea.”

“oh! Then I’ll pee on it.”

And as a final touch, the words of the Golden King Fuki are added.

“No one can keep the Golden King waiting. “I will punish Mael.”

Mael scratched his chin and laughed.

“It seems that my words and actions have somehow made him hate you even before the meeting.”

“It won’t matter, right?”

“… I would like to say that it is okay as long as it is up to him and not me.”

“I hope you don’t say anything else later. “If you do that, you too will be punished.”

“Yes…”

The meeting began and the members were introduced. When looking at the members of the expedition in detail, there were sometimes strange people and forces, but in general, when their identities were revealed, they were either convinced or expressed surprise.

“Um… how is Libra?”

“ha ha ha! That kid doesn’t come to places like this. “I came instead.”

“It might be something the Zodiac would be interested in.”

The meeting then moves on to the next stage.

“So what is the way to get to the new continent, Gorgozia?”

Mael looked at the Golden King.

“Come here.”

As Fuki spoke softly, an attendant took something out of the carriage. He was carrying something that, at first glance, gave off an unusual energy, wrapped in elegant silk.

“This…?”

“It is the golden soul of Mesph. It consists of two pairs and can move through the fog by using the power of the golden soul.”

“Ho… I can’t believe there was such a thing.”

“More than that…”

Chiu asked Fuki.

“Huki, for what purpose are you heading to Gorgozia?”

“…there is something you are looking for.”

“Can I find out what that is?”

“I can not say.”

“….”

“Wolf, let me think about it if you become my subject.”

Tendons sprouted on Chiwoo’s forehead.

He is here as a messenger from the Khan Empire. If you tolerate insults, you are dishonoring Khan.

“You’re a dirty woman. “I have no intention of becoming your subject.”

“… It’s a shame. “I thought he would listen to his master well.”

Ugh…

Chiu grabbed the handle of the chair so hard that the handle crumbled like powder.

“… Trusting this crazy woman to cross a sea where no one has returned alive? “That won’t happen!”

Fuki said.

“Mael, I heard that this journey will be quite interesting for you.”

“… Yes, I said so.”

“But what I’m seeing now are frivolous conversations and laughable people.”

“….”

“I will punish you.”

At those words, everyone jumped up from their seats. Even Mael tried to dissuade him with his flagship, but Fuki acted first.

Crumbling!

Her right arm turned into a thunderbolt and flew towards Qiu’s neck.

Qiu is Khan’s messenger.

If a problem arises internally, the discord could grow out of control and the future could not be promised.

“An…”

“That…”

Those who saw Fuki’s techniques for the first time were thankful that they were not the ones standing in front of her. Even though I was watching, I intuitively realized that I could never stop it.

It’s a fleeting moment, but it’s like a moment of fear for everyone.

I’m going to fall in love!

Fuki’s lightning did not achieve its purpose.

Falling…

A black shadow enveloped the lightning, preventing it from moving.

Whioooooo…

A man dressed in black was standing next to Chiu at some point.

Fuki showed his expression for the first time.

“… king.”

It’s so scary!

Snowfall shook off the lightning and spoke lightly to the crowd.

“It’s a little late.”

– Being late for something this important… does that mean you’re either a jerk or someone who can be forgiven for being late? I’d bet on the former.

Those on the left say:

“I might be late.”

The woman who had previously criticized the last person who did not appear grinned.

“It was the latter.”
