Episode 438

Adventure 36-2 ‘Talking Snack’

Non-Government Zone.

A place where Castrang, the blood vessel of the North, cannot reach. A place where different races, Mother Nature, primitive times, and harsh cold come to life.

You are walking around there, having recruited Jian, a former Baron of the Council, as your guide.

Without knowing the destination, no, to know the destination.

Jian, who calls herself Cocoro, is clearly looking ahead with eyes filled with enthusiasm.

However, he is not truthful and shows no weaknesses, so it is difficult to trust him.

Should I trust him?

The incident that occurred during the night is also concerning.

Meanwhile, you arrived in Trium, a kingdom taken over by ogres, to deal a fatal blow to the council’s work.

As expected, the ogres, who couldn’t possibly miss the smelly meat, came running in a month.

We must escape from them and find the council’s liaison.

Objective: Encounter the Council forces that have infiltrated Trium.

CAUTION This adventure is very dangerous.

Please note that situations in this adventure change from moment to moment.

If you come into direct conflict with your state’s legislature, the long march begins.

Current remaining time 「Unknown」

The ogre’s eyes are worried in front of the snowfall.

“Uh... can’t I just have one bite?”

“No, I have something to discuss with your king.”

“The king does not talk to junk.”

“So, you are a guest.”

The ogre grunted and condensed Kang Seol’s words and conveyed them to the other ogres around him.

“They say I can’t eat it?”

“Oooooh! “That’s ridiculous!”

“Can’t I eat it without the king knowing?”

“The king is going to be angry... I’m scared when he’s angry.”

“I don’t like that....”

“We have to take it to the king.”

“Would you like the king to share some?”

“I think I’ll give you at least one.”

“Him! The others are hard or small and tasteless. “I like him!”

When the ogre pointed at Syndio and spoke, Sindio trembled and whispered to Kangseol.

“What are you saying? “You just pointed at me.”

“... I like you.”

“Yes?”

It wasn’t wrong.

Because the word ‘like’ can be used in many different ways.

“Small! “The house is so small!”

When Tansia pointed to houses that were significantly smaller than the ogres, Jian responded.

“Triam was originally a human kingdom. “If it were a little closer geographically, it would have occupied a place in the federation by now.”

“But why is there no one?”

“It was abandoned quite a long time ago. Because of those ogres.”

Tansia looked at the ogres and said.

“You look scary, ogre.”

“Tsk tsk... Yeah, that’s why I hate it. Still, he seems to like Triam so much that he never comes out.”

Sindio shook his head.

“This is incorrect information. To be precise, they attempted to expand outside their territory several times, but there was friction with the natives in the non-administered areas. “After blood was shed, the current boundary became clearer.”

The reason the non-governed area was dangerous was also because of the natives who survived despite having these ogres by their side.

Meanwhile, the ogre, who had been thinking about it, turned back and bent his knees. The lid of the wooden box he was carrying on his back was opened.

“Get in here and I’ll take you to the king.”

“... okay.”

Kangseol took a quick step forward, but Sindio stopped him.

“It’s a lunch box, no matter who sees it!”

“So you’re not going in? They say they will take you to the king. “At least I won’t lie about fat-related things.”

Although Triam’s ogres are top predators, they have two things to fear.

One is hunger and the other is their king fat.

Snowfall said as she entered the wooden box.

“You’re taking us to the fat guy, right?”

“Of course! Go to the fat guy! Instead, I hope one of them comes into our mouths later!”

“Well... when I get the chance.”

“What do they say?”

“I will take you there safely and accurately.”

– Everyone, you need to study the language hard.

– The interpreters are not trustworthy either.

– This guide... is unusual.

Regardless of how uncomfortable it was, it was an unavoidable choice. Because if they didn’t ask the ogre, it was clear that other ogres would target them.

When the entire party finally entered the ogre’s lunch box, the ogres started running excitedly.

thud-!

thud-!

thud-!

“Faster, faster!”

“Hehehe... I guess I wouldn’t have been able to run away if I had met him on the flat ground in the first place.”

It seemed as if the ogre was personally telling us that it was just a prejudice to say that bigger people are duller.

“... I can see a lot of white bones.”

“The history of destruction must be that long. “The day will come when even their descendants will not remember them.”

“How did Trium become an uninhabitable land?...”

“The prosperity and decline of civilization occur here at the same time. Is this a return to barbarism?”

“You say something quite tasteful. Are you interested in history or archeology?”

“All I care about is survival. To survive. “That is justice and goodness.”

“... I thought so too.”

The ogre carried the party to the center of the tree at incredible speed.

It no longer mattered what the size of the Triam Kingdom was in the past. It is a history that has now been largely lost.

And this is after their territory was completely torn apart by the ogres.

After being devoured, only the remains of the bones sank into the city.

The ogre was not tired.

After running for a full day at an incredible speed, the Trium Castle began to come into view.

“That’s right, it’s a lie! let’s eat!”

Snowfall said a word to the ogres who were about to rush in.

“There will be no loss. “Wouldn’t it be nice to protect the ruins so we can’t escape?”

“Uhm... Is that so?”

“Is that so?”

“Maybe so...”

Kangseol smiles.

“If you will guide me to the ruins, I will bring their heads.”

“what? really? I get it! I’ll guide you to the ruins! “If you avenge us... we won’t eat you!”

“oh my god! Fat people are great!”

“You must be hungry!”

“Let’s invite them to dinner too!”

“good!”

Aaaaaaa-!

Aaaaaaa-!

Sindio, who was tired of the screaming ogres, trembled and asked Kangseol.

“Well... how did it go?”

“It worked out well. First of all... I don’t think it will go into the pot.”

“Kick... It’s amazing that we can communicate.”

[For the first time, I had a conversation with the Fat Man, the ruler of Trium.]

[Achieved the first achievement, ‘Avoid an empty stomach.’]

[Obtained the first title, “Innocent Meat.”]

* * *

Boom...

Boom . ...

Boom...

A group of people moving in lunch baskets.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... “I feel like I’m going to throw up.”

“The ruins were quite far away.”

“I can see it over there.”

After driving for another full day, we reached a terrain with strangely shaped rocks.

“Is that the entrance to the ruins? Um...”

“I’m human.”

“They are congress bastards. I see a sign. “We must kill them all.”

“... I get it.”

Those camped near the entrance must have spotted the ogre running from a distance and hurried into the ruins.

“Omg!”

“Escape to the ruins!”

The distance between them was far away, and by the time Bone Gralry arrived at the entrance to the ruins, the humans had already disappeared.

“We will be here. “Bring me that bastard’s head.”

“All right.”

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...

The ogre reached out his hand and placed the group on top of it and lowered them down below.

“What...what is it? Why don’t you throw it away this time?”

“I guess we are no longer food.”

Kugugugugugung...

They seemed to have recognized Jian and hurriedly sealed the door they entered. There was not a single remnant left.

Fortunately, there are several similar doors on either side of it.

“... What’s in front of Jian?”

“It’s a ruin, so it’s probably full of monsters. “There will be traps.”

“At the end?”

“... a fragment of the assertion lies dormant.”

“It seems to be an item unrelated to the oath.”

“It’s related. “It’s not just something that has been sealed off with an oath.”

“Is the piece of assertion important?”

“... important.”

No other explanation was needed.

Kang Seol carefully read the sentence written above the ruins door.

“If you want the courage to face great power, go forward united. Otherwise, you will face great hardship and great reward at the same time....” “

... It would be difficult for the council to immediately recognize the deciphered text after sticking around for months.”

“... Is it possible to pass through this ruins easily through only one door?”

Jian shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, what about?”

“What do you mean you don’t know exactly?”

“No, your interpretation is correct. “But I think I know what you’re trying to do.”

And shook his head.

“It’s too dangerous to divide people. “You don’t know what could be there, right?”

Kang Seol shook his head with a different meaning.

“The power of the ruins themselves is not great. “Did you feel it?”

Karen and Karuna nodded. Tansia didn’t know what he was talking about so she stayed quiet.

“... What, are you the only ones who felt something? “Why?”

“I see... I don’t know...”

It was a pure gap that came from a difference in rank. For those who reached the top, it was easy to understand that the power felt from this relic was not at a level that was cause for concern.

Karen said with a smile.

“Karuna, isn’t this the feeling you get when hunting the Earth General Spider?”

“... that’s right.”

Kang Seol asked.

“Soil General Spider?”

“This is a guy who makes a house in the ground. “If you try to hunt them, they harden the soil like a rock and block the entrance.”

“Um...”

“But leave the other entrances open. Then you put straw fire in it.”

“When the smoke spreads throughout the burrow, the earth general spider comes out of the burrow on its own.”

“Sometimes toxic people die inside.”

I thought I knew why Karen had brought up the story of the Earth General Spider.

The one door they were attacking was closed, and the other four doors were all open.

“Well, you are the one who makes the decision. snowfall. “Because you know the group’s strength best.”

Jian waited for Kang Seol’s decision. Kang Seol spoke firmly.

“Go to every door.”
