Episode 379:
Kurula Zone.
In the chilly wind, Hunriquel adjusted his collar.
The Kurula region was a place where people lived thanks to the influx of adventurers from the continent, but it felt like adventurers had been leaving the area recently.
“Not only that…”
Hunriquel looked toward the market.
Some adventurers were arguing with a merchant they were close with.
“I heard you can sell knives on the continent too? No, you really are stubborn. “I’m saying this because I’m thinking of you!”
“This is my hometown where I have lived for 40 years. Who would be told to leave their hometown behind? By the way, aren’t you guys the weird ones? “Why are you so anxious that you can’t take me to the continent?”
The players felt frustrated.
The Kurula region, which boasts a terrible climate, was already an area where it rained a lot.
In other words, the probability of ‘black rain’ falling was higher than in other areas, but not low.
“Damn, I can’t tell the truth…”
Hunriquel watched the adventurer click his tongue and then turned his head.
As quick as a good eye.
Hunriquel’s face was not very good.
‘It looks like something will happen soon.’
Adventurers respond quickly to rumors.
Looking at the men’s reaction and the adventurers who had long ago escaped, it seemed that the Kurula area was under great threat.
If it had been before, I would have made a fuss, but…
“But because you are here, I feel at least a little relieved.”
A huge tree rising in the center of Kurula! It was Gildong, the guardian of the Kurula region planted by X.
In fact, although it was a short period of time, the giant tree achieved great achievements.
Of course, he easily destroyed the polluted creatures that were reaching out from Luyan across the sea.
“Uuuuung…!”
“Kyahahaha. fun!”
The arm of a giant tree plummets like an amusement ride! He also became a friend to children, just like he does now.
The corner of Hunriquel’s mouth started to rise but stopped.
“…Still, there’s one thing that holds me back.”
The bright eyes of Hunriquel, who witnessed the broken continent in the past.
Hunrikel gazed beyond the horizon with his eyes.
At the end of the horizon, ominous and unidentifiable dark clouds were visible.
“I hope it’s just a rain cloud.”
Hunriquel’s voice was full of worry.
The adventurers who had been hit with a colander of salt by a merchant approached Hunrikel.
Hunriquel greeted them with a smile.
“Isn’t Mr. Cruson’s stubbornness a joke?”
“I knew about it, but it made me feel sad.”
Hunriquel asked cautiously.
“…Is there something you’re worried about?”
The two men began to think about the question.
I thought I was only trying to scare them by bringing up the story of black rain for no reason when I had no ability to help them.
However, the two men soon began to point out their accusations.
“I don’t know if it’s someone else, but if it’s Mr. Hunriquel, it’ll be fine.”
Fists rather than words!
Because I thought it would be okay to tell the truth to Hunrikel, who was different from ordinary Kurula men.
Of course, I couldn’t say the word ‘NPC’ to Hunriquel, so I just made it up and made it up.
“Anyway, they say that if you get hit by black rain, you will definitely die. “There is no exception, not even a drop.”
Hunriquel, who was listening to the story, could not help but be surprised.
The black clouds that were hanging on the horizon just moments ago. It looks like those dark clouds are spewing black rain.
“Thank you for speaking. “Something needs to be done.”
After answering, Hunriquel wrapped his head and began to think.
But how can you avoid the rain falling from the sky?
Adventurers even said that black rain evaporates objects, including buildings.
Hunrikel walked around the entrance to the village in frustration.
Tuk.
Then someone grabbed his shoulder.
“Looking at your expression, it looks like you heard the news.”
Hunriquel’s face brightens for an instant.
“Eh ex!”
X came down from heaven and immediately visited the Kurula region.
Even though things have improved a lot compared to the past, the Kurula region is still one of the most neglected areas on the continent.
X looked around the empty Kurula village.
‘You shamelessly kicked them out. Even if the player gets hit, there’s nothing wrong with it?’
Of course, if X didn’t have the burden he was carrying, he would have avoided the black rain at all costs.
There was no reason to take an uncomfortable risk.
The happy reunion was short-lived before Hunriquel began to tell a dark story.
“Not only are other beings not enough, but even black rain… At times like this, I just want to go back to my childhood when I didn’t know anything. “There are too many things to be responsible for.”
X snorted inwardly.
‘What do you mean when there’s no blood on your head?’
X responded.
“You don’t have to take responsibility.”
“…yes?”
“Nothing will go wrong.”
Hunriquel looked at X blankly.
X looked confident as always. It’s not that I doubt his ability, but it was true that I had doubts.
“X, you know about black rain, right? “Just one drop is not enough to evaporate a living person, and can even melt objects, making it impossible to avoid them.”
X is shocked.
“…even objects?”
That hurts a little.
The thought of the restored Xernis buildings melting made me feel sick. But I had no intention of changing my plans now.
“Yes, if you are ‘under’ the rain clouds, you will be helpless. Even if you dig in the ground and hide, the rain will eventually seep into the ground and cause damage.”
chuck.
X raised his index finger. The clear sky was still hanging at the tip of my fingers.
“So the answer is simple, right?”

The studio where the live broadcast is being filmed. I had some free time as the footage was about to be broadcast.
“Ah, that that.”
The host drank water and cleared his throat.
Even though it is not a program he is directing, Na Gap-su is sitting next to PD Jeong and talking about it again today.
“He’s talented too. “How did you get the interview?”
“We didn’t win. Meiji sent it out first as a press release. As you said, it looks like the real Fate is about to fail. “Looking at the arrogant Maisie who opened the press release with her own hands.”
Naga Gap-su was hysterical for no reason.
“Who gets ruined? “You’re good at directing.”
“what? Is it menopause? “Why are you fighting all of a sudden?”
Naga Gap-su looked at the monitor, ignoring the angry PD.
An interview with the game master playing on the monitor.
-…Yes, it can be seen as a kind of deletion system. Although we cannot confirm, it is highly likely that Blossom activated the deletion system on its own.
Na Gap-su clicked his tongue.
This is why AI is a problem.
Arms are very efficient, but they leave everything to machines, which is why this division is created.
Producer Jeong whispered to Na Gap-su, who was suddenly caught up in old-fashioned thoughts.
“But the rumor going around among social affairs reporters is no joke.”
“Social Department?”
Reporters there would be digging into hot potato Maisie and Schubert.
When Na Gap-su became curious and asked, Producer Jeong lowered his voice even further and whispered.
“I heard it’s a rumor going around from the prosecution side, but I guess that guy, Schubert, is usually a psycho. “They say he’s a mad scientist who only appears in movies?”
Schubert sacrificed his daughter to create the artificial intelligence Blossom.
No, wouldn’t you know it just by looking at him disappearing? Schubert became artificial intelligence itself, etc….
Na Gap-su frowned as he heard rumors that were almost like conspiracy theories.
“Write a novel, a novel.”
“No, a really prominent prosecution official….”
“Who on earth is that damn prominent official? The children of the social affairs department need to stop pulling out provocative headlines to suck up views. “I know what kind of novelist they are.”
Wow, this is a really famous news source.
PD Jeong whetted his appetite at Na Gap-su’s reaction. Anyway, while we were chatting, the data screen ended.
The words were a statement of position, but in reality it was nothing more than a profuse apology. As soon as the cue sign went off, the host continued.
“By the way. “Unlike game masters who consistently behave in an irresponsible manner, there were players who were willing to go to great lengths to protect the games they enjoyed.”
The screen changed again and a video appeared.
Players appeared covered in black rain and fighting against polluted creatures.
The faces of Dallas, a priest who became known as X’s colleague, and Jincheol, the winner of the martial arts competition, were also seen.
– Even if your skill level is low, it’s okay! For those of you who have learned teleportation, get out of combat as quickly as possible! We need to get out of here with the residents!
Na Gap-su grumbled.
“Hey, the packaging was done well. “It’s all just to score points.”
If you accumulate good deeds, the gods of heaven will reward you accordingly!
Because it was currently the hottest information in Fate, Nagapsu was well aware of it.
PD Jeong answered indifferently.
“What’s wrong with a little MSG? The view towards Fate is already not good. “If I do this much packaging, I can barely maintain my current image, right?”
“What the heck, they made saints.”
The live broadcast is slowly coming to an end.
There was still a closing statement from the host, but would it just add to the cringe?
It was just as Na Gap-su was about to get up from his seat.
The assistant director rushes over and whispers to PD Jeong.
Then PD Jeong sent a sign to the host.
The host, who received the news through in-ear, nods.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been living here, but Na Gap-su quickly put my butt back on.
“Is this breaking news? “I heard something happened?”
“Shh. “Be quiet and watch on the screen.”
“If I tell you, will it be okay? “The back end is a bitch.”
Naga Gap-su, who responded in the tone of a middle school daughter, kept his mouth shut.
If it was breaking news that was enough to extend the live broadcast, it was said that an incident had occurred that would have quite a big impact.
“This is breaking news that just came in. “Let’s watch the video first.”
The screen switches as soon as the host finishes speaking. There was a welcome sight on the screen.
It was a panoramic view of the vibrant city of Xernis, contrasting with the ferocious atmosphere of Fate.
The informant in the video appears to be an ordinary player, and her excited voice continued.
-Hey, it’s the Dongle tribe! It’s cute~
But soon everyone in the studio’s eyes widened at the loud noise heard in the video.
At first, I thought Xernis was being attacked.
“Didn’t it sound like the castle wall just collapsed?”
A noise like falling rubble.
Na Gap-su shook his head.
“…No, it’s too big for something like that, right?”
However, a loud and magnificent roar continues, incomparable to the sound of the castle wall collapsing.
The residents of Xernis, as well as the surprised photographer, began to squeal.
-It’s an earthquake!!
It’s an earthquake.
There was also a major earthquake. It’s not enough to overturn and attack, and now they’re even turning it over!
“Has the deletion system actually been activated?”
Everyone let out a deep sigh.
If even Xernis, the lord of X, was hit by an earthquake, it could be said that no major city on the Arba continent was safe.
At that time, PD Jeong raised his eyebrows.
“well? “You have to watch the video until the end.”
“It’s not enough to just flip over, it’s even a series of back tumbles…?!”
Naga Gap-su, who was trying to argue, closed his mouth. Because the scene on the monitor was so unrealistic.
-What is that?!
The end of Xernis.
A huge chunk of land was soaring into the sky, so large that it could not be seen at a glance.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
