108 – EP.25 Under the Sea -1
A board game board with a total of 40 squares.
Excluding the 4 event spaces on the corner and the special 4 spaces called Shinsoo’s Rules, all 32 slots had the names of Shinsoos written on them.
The names of the representative divine beasts inhabiting the east, west, south, and north were written, and the combat strength of each was written below it.
Except for the name and terminology, it was a board with the original game intact.
“It’s a self-made game made by our followers. It’s even waterproof!”
“Isn’t this a problem because of plagiarism?”
“I have no intention of using it commercially, and it was self-produced for the entertainment of the southern gods, so there is nothing wrong with it. It’s funny that human laws are applied in the divine water world in the first place.”
“Then there is definitely no problem.”
“Isn’t it?”
“What are these leaves anyway, and what are the numbers written on them?”
“It’s a leaf with dominance written on it.”
“Dominance?”
“Did you take the motif from Liberos-sama’s leaves? ?”
“Right.”
“Huh? Do you know what a cor is?”
“Yes… ! Liberos-sama, like my father, is a high priest who lives in the East… !”
“That’s the name of a great leader I’ve never heard of before.”
“That is natural…. Liberos-sama is a person who rarely comes out of the great forest far away from here, so I’ve only met him once in my life….!”
A great master that even Kor, who has lived for at least hundreds of years, has only met once.
I knew at once that he was a Shinsoo with a mysterious aspect and many secrets.
“So what is a Liberos leaf after all?”
“This is the ability Lord Liberos possesses… !”
“What is Riveros’ ability?”
“Liberos-sama puts the power of dominance into the leaves, and all life that touches those leaves obeys Riveros-sama’s will. And I know that the power of dominance is strong enough to make even the Shinsoo temporarily follow it… !”
“Poetry, you can even control Shinsoo?!”
“Mmm! Of course, you have to have that level of ability to be called a substitute like me!”
Certainly, it’s rather strange that he isn’t called a great master even though he has such an ability.
It is a great tree with the power to dominate all living things and to deal with it as it pleases….
It is said that it is a Shinsoo that rarely comes out, but it is a Shinsoo with powerful abilities, so it might be better to be vigilant….
I don’t know.
“Now, the year that is just my chair is a substitute for freezing… ? Don’t get up, just stay calm!”
“Aww! Hey crow! Aren’t you really too much? At least for now, isn’t it necessary to save the face of the substitute!!”
“Let me ask you one question, what would you have done if it was not me but Nanggun riding on top of you? Did the substitute save face? Or would you have become a chair like this?”
“Seo, the ship owner got on top of me… ? hehehe… ! hehehehe… !!”
Hresvelg seems to be drooling and having a happy delusion.
When I think of Hresbelg or Fenrir, I don’t think I need to be too wary of Riveros…….
Of course, this only applies to Riveros if he has some personality problems like those two great leaders.
I’m on hold for now. Whether to be vigilant or not should be decided later after asking more about what kind of personality he has.
“That’s why you control Shinsoo Column with the dominance written on these leaves, right?”
“Right. And the player who has already entered the space of the divine beast that has already dominated must give the opponent a leaf of dominance!”
“The rules are similar enough to be easy to understand.”
“I only changed the terms and words used in the game that became the motif, so there is not much difference.”
“Then this Shinsoo rule card is the same as the golden thing I used to know?”
“Yeah, I hope you check the content later for fun!”
“Okay.”
“There are other factors, such as strengthening the divine beast and sharing dominance, but you can read the instructions enclosed inside!’
“You even made a manual….”
“Isn’t it fun and good to make things properly?”
“That’s right.”
Since I am a crow who always prepares for anything in earnest, I couldn’t have imagined that it would have been made roughly.
On the contrary, I am admiring the quality that makes me wonder if it was made with too much effort.
“Okay. I now fully understand how to satisfy the pleasures of the southern gods, so how do I go to meet them?”
“How do you meet? Of course we have to go into the sea.”
“Yes… ? How come I don’t even have a scuba diver’s equipment, let alone a certificate?
“You can never meet them with weak human equipment. I’m sorry.”
“So how can I meet you?”
“Of course I have to use the ability of air or wind.”
“With the power of air and wind…. No way?!”
“It’s exactly what Nanggun had hoped for.”
With his right hand, he pointed at Tia, who was sleeping in my arms, and with his left hand, Yata hit Hresbelg’s butt hard.
She meant that with the power of these two, she could go to the sea without any problems.
“I understand Tia, but Hresbelg will accompany you…” ?”
“Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.”
“What a pity! Unfortunately!! And are you the owner? Why do you seem to be saying that I am anxious about accompanying you, but I really get angry?!”
“Isn’t it the self-sufficiency of the lady who has been doing stupid things up until now? Huh?”
“Kyaheu~!!”
The crow slaps Hresbelg’s buttocks once more with the palm of his hand, and the eagle accepts it as pleasure.
The more I look at it, the more I feel the relationship between the two is very strange and special..
To the point of wondering what kind of past the two had.
“Anyway, my dear, instead of having the ugly eagle accompany you, I will also attach a reliable helper. Don’t worry too much.”
“Who are you going to attach?”
“Cor.”
“Yes? Me, me… ?”
“Yes, your presence is also necessary for this agreement, so bring it with me.”
“My, what kind of role am I going to play… ?”
“You’ll find out about that when you go. Let’s go check it out then.”
“Oh, I see…” .”
If Kor is a helper, he is reassuring.
I have a question about Yata’s decision.
She couldn’t stand it and asked her her question.
“Can’t everyone just go at once?”
“Unfortunately, that is impossible. Even if it’s up to 3, if everyone goes, the southern divine beasts will think that they’re declaring war.”
“That, I guess.”
“Even if the rest of the people went in the first place, they wouldn’t be able to do anything useful.”
“Then what about Kor? You can’t use fire underwater, can you?”
“Cor’s existence itself will be helpful. It’s okay to make an exception.”
“I got it if you said that.”
“Thank you for understanding my meaning and convincing me of my decision. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. More than that….”
In the end, the fact that only four of us, Tia, Cor, and Hresbelg, have to leave for the southern deep sea.
She didn’t know anything else, but she was worried about the fox, who must have felt sorry for her.
If it were her, she might try to participate at all costs… ?
“Please take care of yourself. West.”
“Uh… ? Are you okay? Are you leaving?”
“I should be a little lonely, but it’s okay. Because the Rabbit Year and the Crow Year, like a stray cat, remain together. There won’t be much of a problem.”
“That’s right….”
Alice frowned at her Miho, while Yata just shrugged her shoulders as if he couldn’t stop it.
Tia was out of the question, and Cor was a divine being recognized by Miho himself, so even so, it was surprising that he was so generous with Hresbelg’s business.
For Miho, is Hresvelg not worth fighting for?
If that’s the case, it was a very regrettable eagle that I couldn’t see without tears.
It was like proving to that jealous Miho that she didn’t need to be jealous.
“Anyway, please always prioritize the safety of Mr. Seo. If something happens, please come back to me right away. Did you know?”
“Okay, I’ll do that.”
“Yes….”
She said she was fine, but she couldn’t erase the pity that remained on her face.
Miho tried to smile, but she felt sorry for her.
She swore that I would finish my business as quickly as possible and return, even for De Shin-soo, who was waiting for her just like Mi-ho.
“Anyway, Tia is sleeping soundly. Wouldn’t it be right to see her departure tomorrow morning?”
“I’m sorry for Tia, but if she’s thinking about the future, she’d better leave now.”
“Then should I wake you up…?” .”
“You don’t have to. It will be enough if I wrap the curtain of wind for everyone to share.”
“Is that okay?”
“How come I often forget… I am also a substitute! Please don’t forget that!”
“Ah, hahahaha… ! All right. I will not ignore you any longer.”
If she is the source of her wind and the wind itself, she will never run out of air no matter where she goes.
At least while she’s with her, it makes sense that she’s free in the water.
But now I’m taking Tia with her just in case she falls by chance.
You must be right to think this way.
Because there is absolutely no meaning in the intentions of Yata’s plan and the recruitment of members.
“Because of that, be careful. I’m sorry.”
“Yes.”
“Oops! And take this too!”
“What is this?”
Five colorful lucky bags.
They were bags of different colors, such as red, yellow, green, green onion, and purple.
The entrance side was tightly closed, so I couldn’t check what was inside, but they were all on the light side and didn’t make any sound when I shook them.
“Everything in the lucky bag is a note.”
“Then are all the notes in this box?”
“Yes, because I can’t follow you myself. Instead, it is a pocket of advice prepared to help Nanggun.”
“Aha, is that it? It’s a note telling you to check it whenever you encounter a specific situation and follow the written advice, right?”
“Right. Red is when you arrive at your destination. Yellow when the board game started. You can check the green color when the game is completely over and the agreement starts, and the blue color when the agreement ends!”
“Then what about purple?”
“Purple is….”
A Yata, who had been sitting on the ground for a while, moved away from Hresbelg and approached me.
He slowly put his mouth close to my ear and whispered softly so that no one could hear.
“Purple is when that old virgin lady loses her senses and tries to attack Nanggun, make sure to check it out!”
“Ah, yes….”
I haven’t even started yet, but I know that it will happen in the future.
I can already sigh when imagining Hresbelg, which I can’t control later and try to attack.
Even if it’s a large number, in front of a long time…. I learned that I was just a pitiful being.
