173 Episode 58. The mirage of Mitra's Great Membrane (1)

According to the water-tailed gentry, the land of the Sioux was full of red tigers these days.

Originally, the Jeokho people tended to despise other tribes, but recently, they even extort money and valuables from people and adventurers who pass through the land of Su-in, calling it a "passage tax.

"He, evil, to them, if caught, no, the answer."

"A passerby, that's what a bunch of fighters do to backstreet odds.”

"Anyway, luck, good, you. We've met."

Qin was originally trying to enter the land of the Sioux along the forest path where the Kinselo branch was located. If he hadn't met the water-tailed fox, he'd be in trouble with a high probability.

"You don't know your way around, do you?”

"I don't know, never. Follow me, come."

The water-tailed gentry were the second most popular species to avoid predators.

We walked along them and chatted. When most water-tailed people asked, "Why do you go to the Mitra Great Membrane?" the camp was surrounded.

About a couple of hours later, the burrow they dug came out, and Jean, who groaned through it, had no choice but to sigh.

Beyond the cave, a stream of waterfalls was pouring out like a lie.

"Water, new, take it."

The bucket was filled with water, and as it passed the waterfall, another oyster came out. It was a cave full of rocks, but unlike ordinary caves, there was no counting of bifurcations inside.

"Did you sell this, too?"

"No, the Myonites, dug."

"Ooho."

The cave dug by the Myoin people was simply a maze. It seemed that their habits of ostracizing all other species, not to mention humans, were reflected.

The cave had different paths depending on how you chose the forklift. Of the thousands of cases, there will also be one path to the burial site of the Myoin people.

As if playing, he passed dozens of bifurcation paths inside the cave.

At the end of the cave, another group of watermen, similar in height to the water-tailed people (they barely reached the waist of the gin), gathered together to take a nap.

A rat-faced, fluffy bunch of fur;a golden snowflake.

"Uh, hey. What if you bring something here and that?"

Unlike the water-tailed race, they pronounced correctly and spoke quickly, as if they were good at dealing.

Soon the water tails and the golden snowmen talked, mixing continental and water-borne, and Jean thought they were pretty cute.

The conversation ended with the water-tailed Suin offering a small jewel.

"Ah, it's none of our business to know why we're going to the Great Bar, but I wish you good luck, man."

After passing by the Golden Snow, a large wooden door came out of nowhere.

"Ee, door, open, come out, miscellaneous store."

"Commercial store?"

"of the Golden Snow family, a general store. Other than that, Yukayuka, the mayor."

"Oh, did the cave run all the way there?"

Yukayuka Market is a place where moderate Suin people gather to trade.

Not much different from the human market, all kinds of goods were traded, and if there was one other thing, it was the existence of a "guiding man" who called on adventurers.

As many human tourists visit every year, every market in Suin's land has a guide to doing business against them.

"The roadman, the golden snowman, recommends, gives. Golden-snowed people, guides, and vanity. Ignore it, tow, use it. Towing people, sincere, fraud-free."

"Thank you in many ways. Before we break up, shall we just give you a full name?"

"I, the Dark Flame."

"What?"

"Dark flame. My, name."

What's your name? I almost asked, but it might be rude. Anyway, it just didn't match what it looked like.

"Yes, dark flames of the water-tailed......I am."

"Jin, Looncandel."

"How did you know?"

"Then, on the lobes, I saw a black sword, a pattern. Fish, June, Day."

"But it could be another cadet, right?”

"Feeling, Looncandel. You, Captain, it's you."

"That's interesting. You're not going to go anywhere and make a noise, are you?”

"Worried, don't."

"Okay, then the next time we meet, I'll repay you as Looncandel. I'm going."

a gain on talent

As soon as he opened the door and went out, as the Dark Flame said, the interior of the miscellaneous store came out, and the Geumseol people, who appeared to be the owner, quickly began to call in.

Jean ignored him and walked straight to the area where the guides were gathered. There were also human beings on the streets of the market, so they wore hoods.

It wasn't hard to find a reliable towed guide.

Later, while traveling with him to the Mitra Great Membrane, fortunately, there was no encounter with the Red-Ho tribe.

Instead, we could often see humans clearly represented by the Kinselo unit, who were dressed in clothes bearing the symbol of the Kinselo, the "broken sun."

If you walk in such clothes on the continent, you will be caught or taken away by security guards. It's not famous yet, but most countries define Kinselo as a terrorist organization.

There was a strange feeling of separation as they were doing nothing on the land of the Sioux.

'Maybe most of the Suin people, not the White Rangs, have something to do with Kinselo.’

When the Towing people reached the entrance of the Great Barrier, they returned to the Yucayuca market again, and Qin gazed at the desolate desert for a while.

Walking alone in the desert requires courage.

Leaving his first step on the sand of the Mitra Great Membrane, Qin had to feel greater pressure than ever.

I was confident in fighting for my life against a strong opponent.

But the sea of sand stretched unanswered under the murky cloud, with the mere sight of it, was imbued with a sense of hypocrisy.

'If you die here, you won't even find a body.’

It is a place where even native watermen lose their way and not even white bones remain. Suddenly, I was awed by the great adventurers who were known to have crossed the Mitra Great Barrier.

The place of the sword.….’

The sense that I felt when I cut Muron's Hell Gate and when I broke Goltep's hammer.

As if the sword, spirit, and self were united in reciting a spell, the substance of the sense is called the "young sword."

Special swordsmanship allowed only to the Looncandel horsemen.

The Ming dynasty, already known to have been extinct, were the successors of the sword, and some part of this desert remained the land left for them to carry out their mission.

Why did the Ming dynasty become the successor to the sword?

In the background, there is one mystery unknown to Inse.

The Ming dynasty did not believe in the power of the gods. So I challenged him, and he was devastated and destroyed. That's why they collapsed half a million years ago.

In a day?

Kid, when you fight Andrei. How did Quikantel react as soon as he saw the drinking seat?

He was terrified.

Even the drinking stone, which is an imitation of the root stone, is as good as that. But the root stone was made with God's strength. That's the power of God. At the time when the Ming Dynasty challenged the gods, the root stone was destroyed, but it was no match.

When the combined gods were trampling on the Ming Dynasty to set an example.

Only one, there was a god who felt sorry for them.

Solderlet saved very few Ming royalty and made them his own. I don't know exactly what the contract is about, but the prosecutor's office can't learn from anyone but them. The Temer also learned from them.

A conversation with Murakan before leaving Tikan.

Jean was once again recalling that "Temar Looncandel" had learned the sword from them.

'You might hear about the invitation, the Ming Dynasty.’

Temer Looncandel.

Despite being the first hostess, there are not many records of him in the Sword Garden.

He gave himself and his followers a castle called "Luncandel" to raise their families, and the story of the defeat of Murakhan a thousand years ago and the name of Aegum Barisada were almost everything.

Although he is the founder and supreme hero of the family, there is not even a place for him in the garden of the sword.

It was because Jipple erased all the records related to Themere.

Jabbuck, jabbuck. Jabbuck...….

Every step I took, the water lapped in the bucket on my waist. It could last for a few days, but it was unclear whether the oasis or spring water could be found in it.

I didn't pack the compass in the first place. If the compass had been a well-functioning land, there would have been no reason for indigenous watermen or veteran adventurers to get lost.

So I had to walk only looking forward.

How many hours did he walk?

As I felt my head was getting dazed, I looked back and saw the same scenery as before me. The forests and trees that had risen at the entrance of the Great Bar were completely out of sight.

'There's not even a footprint left.’

The sand in the Great Barrier was mangled up in the slightest wind. As the distant hills approached, they often collapsed, and the footprints quickly left no trace of the lake's wavelength.

Even if I give up right now, will I be able to go back the way I came?

It's impossible.

Jean, who came straight to the conclusion, shrugged lightly. Slowly, it hit me. The fact that death here is very natural and common here.

Whoo.

Jin who picks one breath and moves again.

For the first time since then, the night of the Great Barrier was surprisingly harsh, and the sun that rose the next day was so hot that it made me nervous.

So until December 1, 1796, I walked for a week. No more water bottles, but oasis has no sign of being revealed.

An ordinary person, or moderately trained adventurer, would have already died.

It was even more hopeless just before Clam came down in Colon, and the memory that he had finally made it was making Jean not intimidated.

When the third mirage is over, unfold the liberation of Young-gi. That way, the Ming Dynasty will appear.

Enduring the Mitra Great Membrane is a test in itself to receive a succession of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Fighting with nature means fighting against God. Jin was vaguely realizing what this "test" meant.

There are only a few drops left in the water, and the steps are heavy, as if they had been attached to the root.

Still, he kept moving forward.

"Huh."

The first mirage appeared when the water was emptied out of the bucket and drank all the remaining water.

But can that be called a mirage?

"Long time no see, youngest. I finally found it."

"Hey, I've missed you so much. Thanks to you, our family life has been a real shit...….”

The voice that came out of nowhere was none other than the Tonya brothers. The voice is so clear that I can hardly regard it as a hallucination.

'But mirage, fake.’

Until just a few seconds ago, there was only sand everywhere, like the vast ocean. The sudden appearance of the Tonya brothers is impossible unless it's a mirage.

But as they strode toward the camp, they were leaving clear footprints.

Even from the Great Sword and the Chain Sword they were holding, there was a flurry of colorful oars. Clearly, the intention of killing Jin was also with it.

I mean, it's not a normal mirage....it would be difficult if all three mirages were like this.’

Jean slowly pulled out Bradamante, lifting up the auror.
