The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 510

During the years that Kang Seol spent as a player, there were a total of 30 horses that passed through him. When he was immature, he was inexperienced, and when he was proficient, he was proficient. It was all words of affection.

Kang Seol’s job has been to create results that will satisfy everyone.

Snowfall brought out the horse’s full potential and helped it rise to the ranks of the continent’s strongmen.

Midar is one of them.

A thorough and fair heresy interrogator. When Kang Seol played, he started as a low-ranking Paladin, prepared to be an Inquisitor, and then was selected as an Inquisitor.

At the time, Baranoa limited the number of heresy inquisitors to a certain number, and Midar was ranked 10th among them.

‘It’s the majesty of the chief interrogator…’ The reason

he is still firmly holding the position even though he was promoted to the position of chief interrogator quite a long time ago is because no one who can surpass Midar has emerged, or because Midar’s skills have improved compared to before. .

‘… Probably both.’

If only due to timing, luck, and Midar’s determination, Kangseol would have continued to train him and allowed him to challenge for ascension. Midar was such a talented horse.

Then, on the other hand, we will arrive at the question, ‘Why did Kang Seol give up Midar?’

It’s the same ending as Orgo.

The horses that Kangseol has encountered so far in Pandea are those who died during the journey or failed to ascend to heaven.

Let’s leave aside the unusual case of being resurrected and returning to Pandea after being released as an immortal.

So, if there is a horse that has given up even though it has not died or is not even close to ascension, what is the reason?

‘… It’s because of my quirk.’

Quirk.

A unique trait that horses have.

In the case of Midar, it was a horse that displayed his eccentricities.

Stubborn, steely-minded, philanthropist, etc.

To sum it up in one word…

‘I didn’t listen to what you said…’

In order to advance to ascension, you must choose struggle over peace. In other words, the more you stay in one place and spend your peaceful days, the further away you become from ascension.

Snowfall tried to help Midar escape Baranoa and experience the lives of others, but one day he was blocked by a wall.

[Midar is satisfied with the current situation.]

[Unless a special problem arises, you cannot force that choice.]

…

For the player, it was a message that was nothing short of lightning.

– I still have work to do in Baranoa.

– We must monitor the actions of evil and protect the will of the good.

Kang Seol didn’t know what to do as he kept reciting these stereotypical lines. What should I do with Midar? I decided that this was a slightly different case from horses like Orgo who were disappointed in the world and chose to hide themselves.

Midar rejected the experience itself.

As if it were God’s mission.

Kang Seol quietly watches him and hears his prayer.

– Dear God, doubts keep creeping into my heart. Is this the right path? Am I going on the right path?

A conversation that gives a clear impression as if you are talking directly to Kang Seol.

– Do not lead me astray and lead me not into temptation. May I fight for the weak, may I use my hands to correct evil before it overtakes them.

It would be accurate to say that I was overwhelmed. Such a strong faith.

– I hope to stay as close to them as possible, at least for that long. That is the only hope I have from You in heaven.

Kangseol answered that prayer.

I bid him a fond farewell.

[Adventurer Midar will now carve out his own destiny.]

[Even though his heart-pounding adventure has ended, his life continues.]

…

* * *

Is it coincidence or fate that we encounter each other round and round?

Kang Seol burst out laughing.

“Why are you smiling?”

Midar catches the pod.

Sally, the leader of the witches, spoke on behalf of Kangseol.

“Aren’t you smiling because a guy who doesn’t fit in here walks in calmly?”

In fact, the witch group led by Sally was also a group with a lot of secrets, so it was funny that she said this, but it wasn’t wrong.

“is it? It’s definitely funny. I understand.”

After saying this dryly, Midar walks over and asks Chameli.

“Where is my place, Vicar?”

In principle, the position of the heresy inquisitor was below Chameli, which was at the level of bishop, but it was different when it was Midar, who had been in the position of chief inquisitor for a long time.

He acts freely, following only the Pope’s instructions. It was not for nothing that he said that a city could be created by gathering together the evil heretical groups that he had destroyed.

“I have prepared a seat for you here, Interrogator.”

“Thank you.”

Squeak…

When Midar sat down, it felt like the beginning of a conspiracy, not a conspiracy.

Kang Seol held back the laughter that kept trying to break out.

‘No matter how we get together, it ends up like this…’

Since it was full of annoying people, I was inclined to wait and see rather than leading the meeting.

– Ugly guys get excited just by looking at each other’s faces.

– You both seem to know each other?

– It seems so.

Viewers kept an eye on Kang Seol’s strange behavior.

“Then…”

Chameli hurriedly led the meeting. He introduced each person and added that they were trustworthy.

She succinctly explained the reason why these suspicious characters were gathered together.

“We have gathered to correct the corruption of the holy kingdom of Baranoa.”

A message occurred to Kang Seol.

[The secret meeting ‘Clan Mock’ begins.]

[The progress of the adventure may be modified depending on the direction decided in the Clan Mock.]

[If you want things to proceed the way you want, use your influence.]

[Click here . The forces of those gathered: Trust in the veil is at a borderline level.]

[The plot is currently progressing smoothly.]

…

Frustrated…

‘I guess I won’t have any influence to exert.’

Afterwards, while talking about several issues, Sally glares at Kang Seol.

“But is this person famous?”

“Sister.”

“Griz, there is no one on the continent that I don’t know, so even if that’s the case… I don’t know where this person is and what he does? “Can I trust you?”

“I will guarantee it. “He will be a great help to us.”

“… if Chameli is like that.”

The story about the rotten parts of Baranoa comes and goes again. Even their mistakes and what needs to be corrected.

Sally’s Witches seemed to be a group that didn’t have a very long history.

‘She has a peculiar smell…’

Perhaps Sally wasn’t an ordinary person either, so she didn’t reveal much of her skills.

‘Well, are there any ordinary people among those gathered here…’

There must be many ways to correct Baranoa. I had to find the most effective one among them.

“The witches have already started work.”

“Sister, your hasty move…”

“Don’t worry, it’s not such a drastic action. It will make the subjects open their eyes.”

“What does that mean?”

“Rumors are being created about the ruling class of Baranoa. Inflating, reassembling, and spreading. “I’ve been working on it for half a year now.”

The snowfall was silent.

‘… It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

Kang Seol’s evaluation was generous, as he remembered Sally’s past tendency to be a shy person.

‘But…’

Everyone’s expressions were not so good.

Especially Midar’s expression.

“Are you planning to take advantage of your subjects now?”

“Use? Well… think whatever you like. “Isn’t it good for subjects who are dissatisfied with the ruling class to rise up and bring them down?”

The drawing was good, but there was a risk that the drawing paper would tear. Midar pointed this out.

“Your plan is dangerous. First, the reaction of the subjects may be more lukewarm than expected. Second, even if your plan succeeds, blood may be shed among your subjects.”

“I understand the first one. But I honestly can’t agree with the second one. “It is natural for blood to flow when a wound is cut out.”

“It may not be the blood of the subjects.”

“… Aiding the corruption of the ruling class is not only indifferent but also incompetent. They have responsibility too. Shouldn’t the subjects also take on some of that risk?”

“The subjects are selfish. No, all humans are selfish. indifference? disability? That’s all true. But…”

Midar was just as Kangseol remembered. I don’t love Seongguk. He is a man who loves his subjects.

“For that reason alone, the wounds inflicted on them are too severe.”

“Hmm… I can’t understand….”

[The group’s mock falls into a state of temporary confusion.]

[Arbitration is needed.]

Chameli stepped forward just in time.

“If we proceed in a way that doesn’t hurt our subjects…”

“Yes, if it works out well, this is the best way.”

“In the end, only if we get the support of the people will the entire country not fall into great chaos.”

“Is that right? “That’s exactly what I said.”

“However… we must be wary of the possibility that a dangerous situation may arise when the subjects take action on their own to correct all of this.”

Nod…

Sally nodded, and Midar stopped nitpicking on this issue.

“Did you say Sally…?”

“huh.”

“What are you?”

“what? “What does this mean?”

Instead, I found fault with other parts.

“The Witches are one of the heretical forces being tracked in Baranoa. I remember that Interrogator Shettle was involved…”

“Shettle? How does that old man catch the witches? Puhahaha! Anyway, I can hate the witches, but I am sincere about this.”

“… The reason is?”

“… reason?”

“Okay, why. As I said before, humans are selfish. “On the outside, the people gathered here pretended to be heroes trying to correct the problems of the Holy Kingdom, but in reality, they all had a purpose.”

Midar’s eyes turned to Chameli.

“The bishop wants to stand at the top of Baranoa.”

“….”

“The Relic Society may say it is because of their relationship with the bishop, but in reality, they must have also had their interests in mind….” “

… You are quick-witted.”

This time to Grizz.

“Griez has the goal of recovering inventions.”

“It’s not an invention! She is a god! “Sophia is God!”

“… Well, anyway. So, what about you?”

“….”

“You have to answer right away.”

Phew…

Sally answered with a sigh.

“Actually, I don’t care what happens to Baranoa.”

“As expected…”

“Listen to the end. Although Seongguk is where I was born and raised, I had no expectations of how this trash can would change in the first place. Instead, it is not without purpose.”

“….”

“Someone got involved in this.”

“… what?”

Sally said that and looked towards the snowfall.

“You killed two interrogators, right?”

Kang Seol thought for a moment and nodded.

“that’s right.”

“Kihi… that might have been the problem. “It caused too much of a fuss.”

She starts talking about what the problem was.

“There is a person I am keeping a close eye on, and according to our information, he has made a move in this matter.”

“… what? Who is it?”

“I’ll tell you… when I’m sure. Anyway, my target is his head. I’m not interested in Baranoa or anything. Did you get the answer?”

“….”

It was insufficient, but it seemed like he had managed to convince Midar.

But a completely unexpected problem arose.

“You killed two interrogators…?”

Midar turned his gaze to Kang Seol.

‘… What the hell.’

If you answer incorrectly, you will be punished.

Midar is that kind of person.

“You say you have the skills to do that… and the fact that Griz is vague about your identity… how…”

Sreung…

‘… damn it.’

Easy profit-!

Snowfall grabbed Midar’s sword with her index and middle fingers.

“… I guess I should check it now.”

Even before I had responded yet, the stabbing started.

Kang Seol sighed and answered.

“Is it me this time?”

[The mock-up is not progressing properly.]

[The mock-up is in a state of disrepair.]

…
