Episode 443
Boom!
Coooooo!
Coooooo!
The faster the bone grinder ran, the more it felt like death for Kang Seol and his group in the lunch basket.
“Slow down a little… wow…”
Syndio, in particular, couldn’t come to his senses as if he was getting motion sick from the fast speed.
“Ugh! “Go over there!”
“It’s too much… wow….”
Gian cruelly shook off Sindio’s hand on his shoulder and ran away.
In the meantime, the speed of bone grinding gradually decreased.
“Haha… haha… are we all there?”
“I think so.”
“Tream Ogre’s grand banquet… It’s a rare experience.”
“You’re not invited to our food, are you?”
“If it’s ogres… it’s not like there’s no possibility.”
“I’m scared….”
“I’ll be by your side!”
“You ran away earlier!”
“It felt like I was going to vomit, so just avoid that.”
“Ugh…”
Boom…
Bone Galgala put down the lunch basket.
“Get down.”
“Thanks to you, I came here comfortably.”
Kang Seol and his party realized that the place they landed was not a throne room, but a large square.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Everyone’s fur stood up as they saw the ogres screaming.
“… It’s our food, right?”
“The odds are higher.”
“If you don’t mind, can I faint now?”
“Ogres have a habit of eating those who faint first.”
“lie! “You made it up?”
“I just remembered it.”
While Jian and Sindio were talking among themselves, Kang Seol looked around.
‘Are all of Triam’s ogres gathered?’
Everywhere was blocked by a wall of flesh. Countless ogres.
‘… Isn’t this something worth trying with the Federation?’
I have a feeling that if they risk their lives and compete against the Federation, a lot of blood will be shed.
Jian clicked his tongue.
“The force has become stronger. It feels oddly… foreign…”
“I agree.”
A foreign feeling.
“Can you explain?”
“If I had to express it….”
Kang Seol tilted his head and answered.
“law?”
“… that’s right. “I just felt that way too.”
Order is a value that ogres should not have.
It suited ruthlessness and chaos, but it did not suit an organized look at all.
To be precise, it may not be easily accepted.
“Look at that instead.”
“It’s amazing!”
Sindio looked at where Jian’s finger was pointing and was amazed.
Trees of ridiculous sizes were randomly cut into pieces and piled up in the center of the square.
“Are you planning to burn a mountain?”
“It looks like the entire forest has been cut down…”
When Ji-an and Kang-seol laughed bitterly, the person who invited them here appeared.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the name of
the
king of the tree was fat.
Kang Seol felt the strangeness he felt from the ogres even more strongly.
‘… I don’t know your skills.’
It had been quite a while since he had been unable to read his opponent’s skills.
“You came! “Dreams!”
“…Thank you for inviting me.”
As Kang Seol bowed his head, all the other party members also bowed their heads.
“What…”
“Shh…”
Jian blocked Sindio from asking Kangseol a question.
“You guys are the first ones to come to the banquet! how is it?”
Kang Seol spoke as politely as possible because he couldn’t know exactly what the other person’s intentions were.
“It is an honor that will never come again.”
“Glory… Glory? Hahahaha! glory! It’s an honor! “That’s right!”
The fat man, perhaps because he had made some kind of remark to win people over, welcomed Kang Seol and his group.
“I’ll show you something great! The beauty of a Taiwanese banquet! Bring it!”
Thump…
Thump…
Thump…
The ogres came carrying something attached to a huge tree on a wheeled cart.
“Oh my god….”
“….”
It was such an amazing sight that there were so many reasons to be surprised that I had to choose just one.
‘wagon?’
It was too big to be considered a cart used by humans. And it was crude.
And that crudeness created the same sense of heterogeneity as before.
‘Are you… imitating humans?’
It was difficult to consider ogres as a different race. Because they were a race that did not interact or communicate at all, they were often classified as monsters.
But now, Triam’s ogres were absorbing human civilization.
“Do you see that? Heroic spirit… It must be a heroic spirit!”
“That doesn’t make sense… How did they catch that big thing?”
A big wild boar.
‘Motutu… the spirit of the wild boar.’
Ignorant beings live on the magical mountain Horus. They were called heroic spirits and were revered as demigods by the Deki tribe living there.
In other words, they brought the body of a half-body to the banquet. Now I finally understand the mountain of firewood piled up.
A human would feel barbarism and anger towards the ogres who hunted a sacred being, but Syndio reacted differently.
“It’s Motutu… the sacred boar. “I heard you recently devastated Horus.”
“Horus?”
“yes. From what I heard, Motutu has been tainted by corruption…”
Kangseol thought that that was quite a possibility.
No matter how strong the ogre was, there was no way it would have gone all the way to Horus where the heroic spirits were and hunted Motutu.
“Anyway, are you saying that we are going to roast and eat that motutu now?”
The fat man said to Kang Seol.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
“Isn’t it Motutu?”
“I went on a rampage in the pig kingdom! I killed him by crushing his bones! “A lot of ogres died.”
“… That’s amazing.”
Pure admiration.
It wasn’t just lip service.
“A lot of people died… but it’s okay! “There is more meat to share!”
Rumbling…
A huge fire broke out.
On the roof of the collapsed kingdom building, Kangseol and his party saw Motutu being charred by fire.
[Tream’s Great Banquet begins!]
[If you participate in Triam’s Great Banquet, all stats will permanently increase by 10.]
“… The heroic spirit is going into the fire.”
“It’s going to be hot…”
Jian said to Sindio.
“Let’s think positively, let’s go somewhere and taste the meat of a heroic spirit.”
“I guess so, right?”
As Kang Seol and his group were looking at the fire, the fat man spoke to them.
“The ingredients.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes, fat man, I’m hungry. Pig can’t wait. “I want to eat you.”
“….”
Just as the fat man was about to see the death coming out of him, he immediately shook his head.
“No… No… Smartie told me not to eat it.”
“…Smart?”
“I don’t understand fat junk. Smart understands the ingredients. “I’ll call you smartly.”
The fat man shouted.
“Knock knock!”
Quaaaaaa…
A huge roar.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock that almost deafened their ears, but the sight of Smarty that appeared next was even more shocking than the shouting.
Look…
look…
An ogre appears, looking in all directions. But something was strange.
“what? “It’s small, right?”
“Is this a fat kid who is too small?”
Although it was much larger than humans, it was still smaller than a child compared to an ogre.
Smart came over and spoke to Kang Seol and his group.
“Hello, this is Ttsuktkki.”
“….”
“…?”
“Words… words…”
Unlike the fat man, Smart spoke human language. Moreover, he was polite.
“Do you know how to use human language?”
“It’s a shameful level.”
Syndio opens his mouth wide.
“Live, live, live, live, live, ogre speaks human words….”
The fat man said, looking at the snowfall.
“You’re from the same boat as me! “You’re all grown up!”
It means that it is small even though it is fully grown.
“Small but smart! “Talk to Smart!”
“….”
Kang Seol said, looking at Ttuk Ttuk.
“I know it’s rude to say this, but you look different from the typical ogre.”
“As expected, right? “He’s big… and he talks.”
Kang Seol closed his eyes.
Irregular.
Smart is an irregular.
An obvious defector.
Just as a giant named Jamad was born from a tribe of trolls on the frontier, a strange guy appeared among the smelly ogres of Triam.
“I was the one who negotiated with the so-called Congress. “I’m sorry I lied about them using magic.”
“… I see.”
“And it was I who sent after you.”
Sindio clicked his tongue.
“For some reason, I felt suspicious that they didn’t eat it. “That’s right… it’s an ogre.”
Kang Seol has not yet defined the existence of Ttuk-gi.
The appearance of a fat man who is implicitly wary of harming Smarty. I was able to indirectly feel that Smart’s status was not low at all.
“You’re a smart genius!”
At the fat guy’s words, Ttuktik shook his head.
“I am at an average level. “It’s not like he’s a genius or anything like that.”
Kang Seol didn’t miss a word of what he said.
Saying he wasn’t a genius was a degrading assessment of him, but on the contrary, it was scary.
If the ogres had even the intelligence and self-control of ordinary humans, the map of the continent would have been completely changed.
These are the guys who attack heroic spirits with nothing but anger.
“Excuse me, but may I ask your age?”
“We don’t count ages. “There is no such system in the first place.”
“… I see.”
“But are you curious about Triam’s business?”
“….”
“I’m sorry if it’s not. “That’s the only reason I can think of to ask your age.”
Smart, who understood Kang Seol’s intentions with just one word.
“… you’re right.”
“Let me answer. What are you curious about?”
“This is what happened to Triam.”
“Hmm…”
“Did the ogre really cause the fall of the human kingdom?”
Smart laughed.
“I planned Triam’s work.”
“… I see.”
Although Trium’s power was strong, it suddenly fell and was destroyed by an ogre, but it was not told why it happened.
“They ignored our warnings. “The mountains that were our home were ruthlessly logged.”
“Is that why it was destroyed?”
“When the house disappears and food disappears, the ogre dies. Isn’t it the same with humans? Warnings were sent again and again. But I didn’t accept them.”
Must survive.
That was the reason.
Kang Seol didn’t particularly want to defend Triam, so she asked.
“How did you get pushed in? “It’s not a terrain that will fall overnight.”
“For humans it is. But… not to ogres.”
Smart explained in detail.
“Tream’s terrain has mountain ranges on its outskirts. If you only cut off supplies, it’s easy to become isolated, and more than anything… Several peaks cross over Triam’s castle. It’s a naturally formed… Should I say it’s a stone bridge?”
A stone bridge visible above the kingdom.
Clearly that was correct.
But what does it have to do with Triam’s downfall?
“If you fall off that stone bridge, this is right below.”
“… yes?”
“It falls on the capital without any damage.”
“That can’t be possible… The stone bridge doesn’t seem that high.”
If a person falls from a distance, the bones in their entire body will shatter and they will die.
“It’s not as high as I thought. It’s lower than it looks. Also, if you fall with a shock-absorbing fruit attached to your entire body, you can prevent fatal injuries.”
Smart, who answers casually.
“Well… it’s just muscle pain or bruises…”
Ogre bones Everything about the ogre’s muscles and tendons is a mystery.
Those with the best physical condition, excluding irrational monsters and dragons.
“… Ogres fell on the tree.”
Kang Seol defined Djttikki.
‘He’s a dangerous guy.’
It is not yet known whether ogres becoming intelligent would be beneficial or detrimental to humans, but the existence of intelligent beings was certainly dangerous.
“You look at me strangely.”
“… To be honest, yes. “It feels dangerous.”
“We do what we have to do to survive. “Just like you humans.”
It didn’t feel like he was particularly evil or anything. Kangseol hoped that his power would be used for good.
“Don’t you think we could have a good relationship?”
“Good relationship?”
“For example… a relationship like a friend.”
“What are you doing by becoming friends with wanderers…”
“No, you are not wanderers.”
Smart glared at Kang Seol.
“Especially you.”
“… Is it also the meaning of the test that caused the council to follow suit?”
“You got caught.”
The clash with Congress was a test of smarts. Perhaps he would have talked to the one who survived among the two.
“… I don’t think there’s any reason to decline. “If I decline, I will be threatened here.”
“I didn’t mean to do that. However, I won’t stop you from thinking that way. Are we… friends now?”
“Ha… I guess that’s what it means.”
Smart stepped back for a moment and then appeared carrying a large box.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“Inside this are some of the treasures of the Triam Kingdom. They all belong to humans. “You can take it with you if you need it.”
Kang Seol looked at him suspiciously and asked.
“What does it mean?”
“This is a gift to commemorate the agreement.”
“agreement? “Isn’t the term ‘agreement’ an exaggeration?”
“You are not ordinary people, are you? Since this is an exchange with extraordinary people, it is an agreement. “There is no need to open the treasures here.”
A box was packed into Kang Seol’s belongings.
“We are useful. “You too can be of use to us.”
“You’re not making excessive demands under the pretext of an agreement, are you?”
Smart laughed.
“Favor is enough between friends. “If I refuse, that’s it, right?”
“Friend…”
Kang Seol held out her hand to Ttuktuk.
“It’s snowing.”
“You’re smart, my friend.”
Smart said to Fat.
“It was a success, King! “We’re going to start a relationship now.”
“Good job! Smart! “I leave diplomacy to you!”
Kang Seol wondered if this was something grandiose enough to be called diplomacy.
“Now snowfall is our friend.”
“what? friend? “What is a friend?”
“We are helping each other.”
“ah!”
The fat man held out his hand.
“Fat is your friend too, Kang… Seol?”
“… yes.”
Snowfall’s fist touched the fat man’s fingers.
At that moment, the message window rang.
[The charm activates. Gain additional favorability.]
[Gain the gray helper ‘Advisor Smart’.]
[The grade of ‘Advisor Smart’ is unknown.
[A gray helper’s actions are unpredictable.]
[A gray helper is both a seed of destruction and a source of salvation.] [
The content of an adventure in which a gray helper joins may change.]
‘Another gray helper. …’
The number of people whose true feelings were unknown was gradually increasing around me.
“Fat just follows what he says! “If you ignore it, you will eat snow!”
“… yes.”
“Bring the meat! “My friend is hungry!”
He’s a fat guy who makes excuses for snowfall when he’s actually hungry.
Boom…
Boom…
Squeak!
He got up and tore off Motutu’s thigh, the spirit of the wild boar.
Chuuuuuup-!
He took a large bite of the wild boar meat, then tore off some of the remaining meat and placed it in a large bowl of snow.
Even though the bowl is not small at all.
“Friends share food.”
Kang Seol thought it was rude to refuse, so she bit into the piece of flesh that the fat man had given her.
That moment.
A wonderful scent fills your nose! I hit it.
[Consumes the meat of the wild boar spirit Motutu.]
[Great! It tastes great!]
[A great inspiration floats in your head.]
[Cooking mastery increases significantly!]
[Your appetite returns after leaving the house!]
[All stats increase by 5% while feeling permanently full. ]
[Permanently increases your strength by 50.]
A procession of explosive messages.
But those messages were no more surprising than those that followed.
[The charm activates. Gain additional favorability.]
[Gain the helper ‘Fat Man, Ruler of Trium’.]
[The level of ‘Fat Man, Ruler of Triam’ is Supreme.]
Snowfall looked up at the ogre who ruled this fallen kingdom.
“A solid friend! “It tastes good, right?”
There may have been more than one reason for Triam’s downfall.
