Chapter 256 00256 Delusional Plateau (1/2)
“Hmm.”
At the end of the man's words, the air around him that was cool feels even more bold. I dared to exhale. The man's words were getting quite interesting.
I lowered the crystal ball I was close to, and pushed it forward so everyone could hear. Then the clan members, especially the children, moved their gaze along the crystal ball, killing their breath.
(Please listen to me, I hope you're turning around right now. By the way... Seeing as the atmosphere has subsided, I think they'll find me soon enough. So I'm going to go straight to the story. First of all, I'm a four-year old user of the clan at the edge of the swamp.)
As death approaches, the man's tone is hard.
Soon, he began to tell me one by one what he had experienced.
Tr a n s l a t e d b y Jpm t l .co m (The beginning of everything began after entering the hallucination canyon.)
I calmly listened to the man's words. His story continued to detail what had happened in the hallucination canyon. The first story I told was nothing. I just walked into the canyon and found the ruins in two days. And the expedition that entered the ruins confidently....
(When we took our first steps into the ruins, what we had to face was a huge pile of corpses. And when I saw half the rotting bodies lying around, I had a hunch that something was wrong. I should have turned my foot then. But the ruins blinded me....)
Something's a little strange. ’
I was still listening to the man. In his words, I still felt a peculiar glamour, not knowing what it was. There was nothing wrong with finding the canyon city. However, the overall mode of deployment itself was subtly out of focus. At first, even though I was hurt so badly, I felt that the words seemed logical and orderly.
(There was no shortage of saying that it was a city. But the strange thing is that, despite the fact that it's been a long time, the city looks pretty normal. It felt like time had stopped…. And as we walked into the city, we were astonished. There were dozens of people waiting for us inside the city. with their weapons pulled out. I'll get right to it. They were vagrants.)
The man started coughing again, not while talking. Every time I coughed, a handful of blood burst from my mouth, and even the dragonglass was not buried in the crystal ball. I felt the magic within the crystal sphere with a little bit of strength in my hands, and I could feel that there wasn't much magic left. In other words, the playback time was almost over.
As death approached, it became more difficult, and soon after suffering for a while, men barely opened their mouths with their dying voices. Transl a t e d b y jpｍt l .ｃo m
(I don't think I have much time. I'm sorry to say this so hastily. I'm in a hurry. Anyway, you'll recall that I led the quest to exterminate the Vagabonds in the Golden Lion Clan. Most of them are known to have fled west, but some have fled the other way. To tell you the truth, I was hiding in a hallucination canyon that was relatively out of reach of users....)
”Vagabonds? Alive, not found their bodies?” ’
I frowned slightly at the man's words.
(We didn't have the courage to fight. We had no choice but to run. Most of my colleagues were killed in the process. I was at the rear.... I was ashamed, but I didn't look back, so I could barely escape. No, I thought I'd run away. Haha... But this is how I ended up getting punished for abandoning my colleagues.)
The man smiled spontaneously and sighed for a long time. And now he spoke in a squeezed voice as if it were the last.
(Even though it's only a matter of life.... Instead of facing a miserable death caught by vagrants, I plan to kill myself. But I wanted to leave as much of a trail as possible, rather than just dying like this. If you are watching this crystal ball, please report this to the city's main clan as soon as possible. Then I wish you a safe and sound return here. Good luck.)
Soon after that was the last word, the screen of the crystal sphere turned off with a ‘pot’ sound.
I sighed for a long time and turned my head away from the naturally shimmering crystal sphere. Then, everyone could see the faces of the clans in dark shade.
“A vagrant.... I don't think this is normal. Soo-hyun, what are you going to do? ”
Quietly tucking the crystal ball into your chest and keeping your mouth shut, Goonju tilts his head and talks to me.
The clan members say nothing. But when they heard me, they all looked at each other, and they seemed to want to go back. Ko Yeon opened her mouth in a persuasive tone, whether she noticed what I wanted to do.
“Wouldn't it be a bit awkward if the vagrants were together? That crystal ball should be enough evidence. So why don't we head back? ”
“User melody. Let me ask you a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Can you find any trace of the expedition? ” T ra n sl ate d by ｊpm tl.ｃo ｍ
It was a sudden question, but Goon looked around calmly. Then, I shook my head and replied.
“Yes, there are clear signs of entry and exit. even though it's a little mixed up. ”
“So do we know if this user was enchanted by the psychic family? ”
“What? Suddenly... I don't know about that. ”
“I see.”
I bent over my waist and looked closely at the flowers around me. Soon, I could find a flower that I was familiar with. Pick up one of them and I lift it up for everyone to see.
“This flower is called Hyde Flower. It has a mysterious effect that removes odor when held in small quantities and reduces performance when held in large quantities. Why is this here? ”
“Well, isn't that supposed to protect the crystal sphere from the monsters roaming around?” I don't think it's weird that the missing users are one of the ways of leaving a message. Well, it's not very common. ”
“Yes, but don't you think it's strange? ”
“What's weird? ”
When I heard the man's words, I had a good look. However, for those who are about to die, they are too calm and calm. Of course, there were some users of that nature, but the problem was the way he told the story.
Simply put, his story is, ”Save me.” Or ”help.” There was a strong nuance to try to explain something more forcibly than the nuance of.
Vagabonds in my memory were found dead in the ruins. But men say they're still alive.
The man barely escaped. But did the vagrants lose him so gently? And he didn't look back and say he ran away, but how did he know that other colleagues had been caught or killed?
He was tracked on the run and eventually sustained serious injuries that endangered his life. In that situation, you went looking for Hayden Flowers and left a crystal ball to protect your corpse. Trans l a t ed b y jp ｍt l.ｃ oｍ
Did the vagrants ever find this man's body? Have you ever looked into this man's arms?
And what the hell was the first call I got asking for help?
No... in the first place...
‘The Heights of Delusion, the Valley of Hallucinations, is not a place where you can move freely. And it's hard to believe he was killed by dozens of vagrants. I can't be confident without them... ’
Questions follow tails, thoughts intertwine.
“I'm going to stick to my original plan. The machine enters the hallucination canyon. ”
I explained to the group in as much detail as possible what questions I could have asked. And finally, I confirmed that there are ruins, and in order to solve these questions, I led the story towards a little bit more entry.
Fortunately, a few nodded their heads to empathize with my opinions, but the dark mood did not improve. In response, I sighed and finally decided to take out my last resort.
“I think there are a lot of unwilling people. So here's what we're gonna do. I think we should continue exploring, as I said before. If we have a lot of opinions to get back to here, we'll turn around. We'd like to hear from you now. Start with user high music. ”
“I want to go back. Honestly, even if there are dozens of vagrants, I don't think Su-hyun and I would lose. But if you have someone like us, the story is different. I'm sorry, but I think a crystal ball will suffice to obtain simple evidence. ”
Ko Yun immediately replied. Looking in the other direction, the hesitant clans begin to speak out one by one.
“Brother, I wish I could go back. I agree with you, but since you still have the crystal ball, you can assume you've accomplished your mission. I'm sorry to object.”
“Hmm.”
