The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 417

Episode 417

Kugugugu Palace...

The stone statue began to cross the bridge.

“It’s starting to move.”

As Ur led the group, he naturally became the leader of the group.

Since this relic had at least some connection to Kagon, it was best for him to take the lead. Because he was the only one here, or in this world, who remembered Kagon.

Kang Seol and Ur walked slowly side by side, Mariju and Han Somi standing in the back.

Thanks to this, an environment was created where people could talk quietly with the person next to them.

“You felt the snowfall too, right?”

“... what?”

“The connection with nothingness would have been lost. “The ruins are now an independent space.”

“That’s it. huh.”

From the moment the statue appeared, the connection with nothingness was lost. Something was interfering with the connection.

“Tsk... If Jamard had helped me at a time like this, things would have been a lot easier.”

“... I agree.”

Even if I had to explain that Dongsan was walking around in the eyes of others, having Jamard by my side would have been a great help in this situation.

“... things are going to get a little difficult.”

“Are you serious?”

“Well... it depends on what’s waiting ahead.”

“I’m sure there’s something waiting for me...”

“Of course. It is a dangerous power even in the hands of a worm. Moreover, now that I’ve joined the wizard... I can’t wait to see what kind of tragedy will happen.”

Kangseol wonders if Kagon’s power is so dangerous that Ur boasts about it.

‘Because the only one who really knows is Ur.’

From the moment Kagon’s traces appeared, there was a lot of noise and snowfall.

Snowfall decided to quietly watch Urga’s sheep and follow Kagon’s traces.

But I felt a slight tremor from Ur. Reaction as if nervous.

“Are you nervous?”

“okay. I’m excited. “It’s a completely unexpected harvest.”

His reaction was one of anticipation, not concern.

Kugugugugugung-!

They couldn’t head straight to the fortress. The place where the stone statue went was a small mountain cabin.

Ji-ing...

Letters appeared in the sky again.

“Another unintelligible text. It will take time to interpret...”

While Ur was getting irritated, Kangseol blurted out.

“Treasure in abundance brings pain.”

“... what?”

Huuuuk...

Uddudddud...

The lights went out and the statue moved.

“Turn the light back on.”

“all right.”

Marijuu formed a fireball in her hand again.

Grumbling...

“Hmm....”

“Hmm.”

People’s reactions were mysterious.

The scene where the lights were turned on was a situation that made everyone click their tongues.

The pirate’s sword seemed to have cut off the wizard’s arm.

“You were aiming for the marble.”

“Is it betrayal?...”

“It seems so.”

Ur asked, looking at the snowfall.

“More than that, you. “How can you decipher that?”

“Well... it just popped into my head.”

“This is the first time I’ve had a reaction like this... Well, we’ll find out about that later. “This one comes first.”

Ur placed his hand on the bead held in the healthy wizard’s arm.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhah

the beads spread power.

Whioooo...

A pirate engulfed in light.

The appearance of the stone statue gradually changed.

The beard of a sturdy and energetic young dwarf grew out of control.

As if that wasn’t enough, my back became bent and my eyes lost their focus.

So the pirate became an old man.

Quasi profit-!

The elderly pirate was unable to even protest and was belatedly killed by a warrior wielding an axe.

The warrior picked up the wizard’s severed arm and placed it on the amputated area.

“Ur.”

“... okay.”

Whoa...

As the bead vibrated, the arm attached to the body.

It was as if the fact of being cut had never happened.

“The more I look at it, the more surprising it is. “Did this actually happen?”

“I think so?”

Mariju and Han So-mi chatted and chimed in with each other.

Jiiiing...

Letters floating on the ceiling.

At the same time, the statue began to move again.

“... Now there are two dwarves.”

“It seems like the meaning is correct at first glance, so I don’t think it was a wrong interpretation.”

When the statue left, the four naturally came together.

“But... isn’t there too much even without people?”

Ur gave an indifferent answer to Marijue’s question.

“The ruins may be much larger than they appear, or most of them may just sit still and wait for rescue.”

Kangseol added.

Ur’s eyes created a look that seemed to be looking at a faint or painful scene.

I could sense that he was agitated. A harsh sound came from his mouth.

“You idiot...”

Kang Seol ignored his reaction and continued reading.

“Believe me, this artifact can definitely lead the dwarves to prosperity.”

“I do not doubt the power of the artifact.”

“Then why... wait a minute, isn’t this too long?”

“Please continue.”

“Keuung...”

Kang Seol frowned and read the text.

“Sirion said. What I doubt is us who will become the owners of the relic.”

Kang Seol continued talking about the letters that were drawn.

“What gives us glory is coal, steel and courage. It is blindness, not reason, that reaches into areas that cannot be controlled. If it is truly such a force, it will ultimately lead us to destruction, not glory. “Now, give me that relic.”

Ur chuckled.

“Still, it looks like that dwarf deserves to sit on the throne.”

Snowfall’s story continued with his bitter smile.

“A relic is an object that must be destroyed at the anvil of the seven mountains to bring wealth. Maradum lifted his head and answered.”

Although the tone was calm, it seemed to convey everything that happened at the time. This is because the situation was conveyed exactly as it was at the time.

“No, King of Ash. Artifacts cannot be given away. Because of your foolishness, the throne of ashes will later fall.”

Kugu Palace...

The stone statues depicted actions.

Soldiers trying to capture Maradum.

And Maradum shines the Stone of Time towards them.

“It looks like you need to touch the marble.”

“....”

“Ur?”

“Ah... of course.”

Jiiiing...

Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!

The light was drawn horizontally and changed the stone statues that touched the light.

They are now children buried in clothes. Fortunately, Sirion avoided the light.

When the Maradum statue tried to leave the main hall, a warrior stood behind him.

“You Aeolian....”

“Leave Maradum. “I will block the back.”

“Please, Aeolian. “Someday I will find you again.”

Maradum left, and Aeorian was beheaded by the soldiers who followed.

“... What is this?”

“It sure seemed like a fairy tale until now...”

Mariju and Han So-mi shivered.

Ur said quietly.

“Let’s follow the statue of Maradum.”

The stone statue of Maradum was right in the main room. As the story progresses, it appears that part of the fortress was decorated as his residence.

“... something has changed.”

“Iknow, right. First of all, that wizard’s beard...”

“I think I’m... old.”

Maradum’s beard, which used to reach his chest, was almost reaching his knees.

Jiiing...

When the text came to mind, Kangseol sighed and read it.

“The tracking continued for a long time. But even if we slowed down research, we couldn’t stop the wizard.”

“also?”

“... There were limits to the power of the Time Stone. You can make life into a child, but it does not become a baby. You can make it senile, but it does not turn into a white bone. The wizard realized. “If we release this restriction...”

Snowfall narrowed her eyes.

“That you can take control of the past and the future.”

“Huh... Puhuh....”

“Uh, why are you laughing?”

Han So-mi scratched her head.

“I thought the acting was a bit awkward...”

“I thought about that too...”

“No, that’s not why I laughed.”

Ur said, raising his finger.

“It’s funny that the ideas of those caught up in the power of time are always similar.”

“... Isn’t that funny?”

“And... because I just remembered the worst possible assumption we could face.”

“Worst assumption?”

He crossed his arms and wandered around the small space.

“So, do you know when you usually start talking about this type of thing in front of people?”

“....”

“Before soldiers were sent to the battlefield and before parents sold their children due to poverty.”

“You mean...”

“This is before I was forced to make a sacrifice.”

Mariju hesitated and took a step back.

“Are you sure... that you are planning to force us to make sacrifices? “Who the hell is that...”

Jump...

Walk...

Ur walked up to a short distance from the stone statue sitting on the chair.

“This guy could still be alive.”

Sigh...

At that moment, the stone statue of Maradum turned its head.

“Aaaah!”

“The stone statue...”

Coincidentally, the head of the statue of Maradum was facing the direction Ur stood.

A red light flashed in the statue’s eyes. The light was still small enough to be compared to a firefly.

“Interesting... I don’t know about the other people who were invited to this event, but I...”

Ur said after putting his face in front of the statue.

If there was a wizard, or a mage, stained with madness, there was one here too.

“I hope you’re alive.”
