The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 494:

The world has changed.

In one day, at once, the world turned upside down with light. Pandea welcomed new fate and guests who had visited once.

The old demon and its equally old opponents appeared on this earth again, against the providence, and Pandea, whose name is the same as that of the continent, had to give up literally everything for him.

All the energy that should have been devoted to the future was used for the present.

Is this natural?

It didn’t feel natural at all.

With the reappearance of the immortal, the story took a completely unexpected turn. The lives that stay in Pandea, the crazy people who watch it, and even the merchants who take away the madness that came from them.

“Umm….”

“Senior!”

Janet, the madness merchant who dealt with Snowfall’s madness, was up on the observatory wearing a demon mask.

The place she was in was a somewhat special place even in the Land of the Judges.

Here, thin lines stretched out here and there like spider webs.

It stretched out from the Land of the Judges and spread throughout the universe. It is the foundation that brings white faith and red madness to the Land of the Judge.

Oria is a crazy merchant who chases after Janet, who always ends up winning big deals. Oria appeared with Hart, who was also a madness merchant.

“Heart Oria.”

“Finally, you want to see the Judge’s great achievements…”

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“Yes? also! Creating a ‘spider web’ of trade network throughout the universe…”

“No, it’s more than an achievement.”

Janet stared at the spider web with her eyes peeking through the demon mask.

“Isn’t it surprising that there are so many people selling out the world?”

“… Ugh, I expected it because I thought you had a great desire to succeed again.”

“What kind of person would do that? “You’ve come this far with your skills alone, how far do you want to go?”

“Well… this time I heard about it, it even gave me permission to access the Corridor of Eternity and Akashic…”

Janet grinned.

“It’s a promotion, it’s a promotion. “I sang it today to commemorate that.”

“Are you taking me somewhere nice?”

“Just say it. I’ve been putting a lot of pressure on my shoulders these days, so I need someone to weigh me down. “Please empty my pockets.”

“Hurray! Let’s have a drink at Shindo!”

“Oria! No matter how big your senior is, it’s impossible! “Why don’t you have cases like this?”

While saying that, Heart secretly glances at Janet.

“Of course, Shindo is very luxurious with a nice atmosphere. It’s a price that novice merchants like us can’t even afford. If you’re not a senior, you probably won’t be able to set foot there for the rest of your life. But there are still morals…”

“Okay, let’s drink at Shindo today.”

“Would you like me to lick your shoes?”

“Would you like to ride with me?”

Hart and Oria knelt down and bowed their heads. Janet said with a grin.

“Okay, will you just listen to my story?”

“However much! Should I rip your ears and turn them into four?”

“I’ll make a hole in the temple of the heart right now to make a spare ear hole!”

“hey! “You do it too!”

Janet muttered as she looked at the trade network.

“What happened to the gods who participated in that trade network?”

“Uh… you were promised enormous power, right? “The Judge’s Earth is the only place that can transform faith and madness into pure power, right?”

“In the first place, not only the gods participated in this trade network… but the life forms on the planet, which are now nothing but madness, are also a major source of supply.”

“… yes.”

“For example… This time, one of our senior clients is also filled with madness.”

“that’s right! When are you going to use it? Maybe you will buy something from your senior? “Then are we going to God again?”

Janet asks.

“Why is the end of every planet stained with madness?”

“Is it because… you don’t trust anyone anymore? The more primitive the planet, the stronger the power of faith, but on the other hand, the things committed in the name of faith can be called madness or faith… “A planet that continues to develop or fight eventually reaches a stage of disbelief, where faith becomes extinct and only madness emerges.”

A planet where faith has disappeared.

Planets that have entered a supernova state usually go through this process.

“Madness has a lot of impurities, but the amount is vast… Faith is close to purity, but the amount is small. Well, but… the trade network converts these two into pure power and makes profits.”

An ability that only the judge has.

By refining faith and madness, the power itself is produced.

Gods who want greater power than their original faith promise that much power, and the useless madness created by the fallen is collected at a certain price.

“It’s weird, right? The lives that pay for madness are living on a hopeless planet, and the planet that was sold as a spectacle has also entered the supernova stage.”

“We met the same fate….”

“It can’t be helped. “We can only blame them for their foolishness in serving such a god.”

“For those of us who work under the judge… we end up encouraging it.”

A transaction without an honest person.

Janet looked at a particularly shiny thread among the spider webs. Trade route with Pandea.

“It’s an incredible light, right? “As it enters the supernova stage, more people go crazy… The amount of power going to the gods who sold the planet is also enormous.”

“Maybe we’ll see you at the Universal Council sometime soon.”

Oria said.

“Senior, why? Are you in love?”

“I’m sorry… I’m just curious.”

“Curious?”

“No, it’s nothing. “I’ll have to find out separately soon.”

“What! I wonder!”

“Let’s go to Shinto.”

“Nothing mattered anymore. “Let’s go quickly!”

Oria and Hart moved over, heavily escorting Janet.

When viewed from a distance, it is a comedy, but when viewed up close, it is a tragedy. That is what happened in Pandea.

The entire continent experienced tectonic shifts, creating and destroying many things at the same time.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of of a bit…

Starting with Hygeltongue, the Federation and the non-administrative areas that were the lands of the great tribes.

The land that was commonly called ‘North’ has now become uninhabitable.

As a result, many tribes and races were scattered throughout Pandea. This phenomenon continued throughout Pandea.

“Whoa…”

The whole city disappeared.

The snow doesn’t stop.

The great structures that life had built either collapsed under the weight of the snow or were completely buried under the snow, leaving their whereabouts unknown.

Castrang’s last run was to run with the glacier maw, and the land he wanted to protect became no one’s land.

No, in the first place, life only borrows the land for a while. If you show this scene to those who say this is a process of giving back to nature, they will all shut up.

There is snow everywhere.

The meteor of the era, Eragon, collapsed due to the power of immortality, scattering everyone present somewhere on the continent.

The incident that happened that day was something that shook the entire continent.

“Whoa…”

Sabak…

Sabak…

Someone was walking on the snow, breathing heavily. An old woman with snowskin-like leather on her shoes was walking slowly across the snow.

I walked so slowly that even as I walked, a lot of snow piled up on my body and I had to keep shaking it off.

Meow…

A black cat was on her carrier. As if he didn’t like the snow accumulating, he moved his body around from time to time to shake off the snow.

They were a well-matched pair.

The old woman carried the burden.

Three fairly heavy jars of unknown identity were placed in a row on a carrier.

It seemed that the fork was a means of moving the complex. The jar seemed to be something very meaningful to the old woman, so she walked around with great care, fearing that she might drop it.

Miyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

…

The cat she was carrying on her back suddenly jumped out.

“… Hunie. “Where are you going?”

The old woman sighed and chased the cat.

Pak-!

Papa pa pa pa paak-!

A cat named Hunie wandered around the side of the protruding remains of the building.

Miyaaaaaaa!

“Hol ho ho… There seems to be something there. “Do you need my strength?”

Meow…

“How… should I lend my strength… or not… I’m worried.”

Miyaaaaa!

“Don’t be angry. I was just kidding. “You’re so kind…”

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

the spring came in the hands of the old woman.

There was warmth and flowers bloomed in the palm of my hand.

Srrrrrrr…

The snow pile that Hunie was digging also slowly melted.

Miyaaaow…

As if that was enough, Hunie climbed on the old woman.

Now the old woman knew why the lazy cat had urged her on.

“Oh my… this is an amazing harvest, Hunie.”

Whioooooooo…

The bright blue frost beads were emitting light.

“Well… it was strange that such a force shook the earth and woke me up, but not a single crystal was found.”

The old woman petted the cat and hugged it.

“Let’s go back, Hunie. “This should be enough to withstand the seal for a while.”

An old woman who wraps a hardened blue sphere in a cloth and carries it in her arms.

Sabak…

Sabak…

She walked through the snow field without even being able to tell the direction.

The temporary shelter she created was quite far away. But after walking all afternoon, we arrived before we knew it.

A shack built on a high altitude.

The location of the shack was less affected by snow because the area around it was completely blocked by rocks.

Tuktuk…

An old woman dusting off the snow and entering.

Kkeeeeeik…

“It’s heavy…”

Touuung…

The old woman put down the bag and placed the jar of unknown contents on the table.

Originally, this shack was an abandoned house. It seemed to be a house that no one remembered, in a location that no one visited.

That’s why the old woman liked this house.

Because she was also someone that no one remembered and no one looked for.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…

She is combing her hair.

Her face is reflected in the mirror.

White bones.

A pure white skull was there.

Was he awakened by someone’s terrible necromancy? Did he return to this earth through a dark ritual?

Hehehe…

it wasn’t like that.

She was the one who had to come back.

When Pandea turned over, she also woke up. All kinds of demons were awakened, so maybe she was one of them.

Miyaow…

A cat rolling a blue bead around.

“I can’t use Hunie. Holhol….”

Rustle…

“Huni….”

Rustle…

“Keep….”

Miyaaaaaaaah!

Hunie was startled and jumped up, running towards the old woman who was combing her hair.

“Oh my! It’s a surprise. “Huni!”

Swish-!

Swish!

Hunie’s front paw pointed to one side.

It was in the direction where the marble was.

“Why are you doing this? What’s the problem?”

“Ugh!”

“….”

The old woman’s actions stopped.

Now the blue bead was stretching.

A small arm-like thing popped out…

“… Can the beads talk?”

Gusul was also surprised to see the old woman.

“…Skeletons are talking!”

A shocking situation for both sides.

The old woman erased all the plans she had made while thinking about how to use the beads. It’s really because it’s been a long time since I met my friend.

“Holholholh… The girl is said to be the black fairy Bish… do.”

“….”

Although the beads had no facial features, the reaction was conveyed immediately.

“… grandma?”

“Noooooooom!”

Vichy, whose hair had become scattered, huffed and said.

“Break it?”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Hal… Girl… Girl Bishya…”

“Holholholhol… I’ll look at you just this once, little bead. By the way… how do you say that?”

“I don’t know… I woke up and found myself here?”

“Well…”

“I don’t know anything. “I have no one to turn to…”

When the beads seemed sad, Vichy smiled. To be exact, I mistakenly thought he was smiling.

She had white bones, so there was no way she had any facial expressions.

“There are a few things to think about about your existence.”

“yes?”

“It seems like a fight to become king took place in this very land before the world became like this.”

“Well…”

“Do you know the king?”

“I don’t know.”

“But why are you acting like you know?”

“what? Iknow, right?”

“Guy… Anyway, the area was full of strange phenomena at that time, so weren’t you caught up in it too? Maybe… it might be a fragment of the king….”

“Ugh….”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I’m upset.”

“what?”

“I am not a whole being, but a fragment of someone else.”

Vichy began to like this bead more and more.

“What about other possibilities?”

“A new life was born in a frozen land.”

“Is that… good?”

“Hol ho… do you prefer that?”

“yes! “I think it’s special!”

“This guy who doesn’t know anything is pretending to know everything.”

“Rather than pretending to be a girl while being a grandmother…”

“Noooooooooom!”

“I’m not saying Vichy is like that… Vichy is a girl, right?”

Vish, a skeleton wizard with a flower cup on his face and both hands, laughed. Although I mistakenly thought I was laughing.

“I like you.”

“I like Hal Bish too.”

The old woman has a small bead.

Pick up items that were buried in the snow.

“Can I have you?”

“Are you going to save me?”

“of course. “A girl cherishes things.”

Gusul thought for a moment and then raised both arms.

“Okay then!”

With this, the two have each other.

“The name would be… Rattle.”

“… grandma.”

“NOOOOOOOOOMM!”
