[Title: A wolf gives birth to a camel!]
When the wolf appeared, the world became truly peaceful. The saying that all men are wolves is perhaps a compliment? Praise God·Ki·Bo!
– I was so scared that I thought I was going to die;; They say an all-out war broke out, so while drinking with the bar owner, he locked the door and hid under the table
– seriously, my heart almost exploded. Wow, they said there was a lot of stabbing; I thought it was a gang fight.
– I thought Heka was crazy and Kibo was a softie, but I’m completely confused.
– Isn’t that Gap Moe?
– Why didn’t you get stabbed that night? That’s too bad.

[Title: One-man dictatorship is complete ㅡㅡ The transferees are finished.]
Monopoly is something that makes the market sick.
A wolf? lion? I didn’t care who it was. However, I didn’t like the idea of just one of them trying to dominate Nobira.
Now, as you wished, the wolf has eaten Nobira. What will happen next? Will the wolves take care of the transferees as you wish? Innocent bastards… It’s not a good situation for Kibo to dominate Nobira!
– Yes next Heka.
– Heka (deceased): Haha, do you think Kibo will take care of you?
– These bastards judge the world based on stupid bag straps hahaha Have you seen Heka? I saw a knife wound on Dan’s face
– don’t glorify the past. Agari Fighter haha So what did you do in this situation? If you were to just keep your mouth shut, just quietly accept the consequences haha
– The author was hiding in an inn while crying at the night of the wolf.
– I also ate through room service. The owner is extremely annoying.
– ㄹㅇ ㅋ

[Title: Heka is dying!]
Huh? Dead? Why is this real?
– Tiyoong?
– Shouldn’t Wolf Night be designated as a Novira public holiday?
– Heka I took a peek at the bar and there was an ogre sitting there.
– But how did Heka die?
– How would we know? But according to the rumors, it’s not Kibo. They say it’s not right due to time constraints because they’re doing a Doju cut.
– So what did Shuur cut? Does this make sense?
– no. Shuru is completely lacking in ability.
– Then who is it? Surely it’s not a transference? Wouldn’t it be more believable to say that the gang set everything up?

[Title: The pigeon has arrived GuguguKukKuk999]
Matters that have been revealed so far regarding the Night of the Wolf.
1. It ends with an overwhelming victory for Kibo’s gang.
2. Fleeing from Novira to avoid the Heka gang’s mid-air disintegration and grudge murder.
3. Doju’s official death.
4. Heka’s official death.
5. The person who killed Doju was Kibo.
6. The person who killed Heka is unknown.
7. There are rumors that the person who killed Heka was an undisclosed person or some other transferor.
– Private? About one person?
– ah! Private!
– Some say that Yu Mira was killed.
– Are you kidding me? The story about Heka being killed by Yumira is the same as saying that a lion was killed by a cat.
– Why are there no witnesses?
– All the witnesses are dead.
– Hehe, don’t tell me something scary…
– Or maybe he died in a completely unexpected place.

[Title: Another story.]
There is a report that Heka was last seen at a bar on 3rd Street.
I heard that at that time, there was an argument with someone from Heka? Could it be that the person who started the fight killed Heka?
– Heka probably killed him after arguing with him.
– Look at how you cut off your words. Don’t instigate it.
– What bullshit?
– After the bar scene on 3rd Street, there is a rumor that Yumira went to Key with Heka’s head. Quite credible.
– Did Yumira really kill Heka? ㄷㄷ I haven’t seen Se-kyung like that, but she’s a scary person.

[Subject: I know the truth.]
There are even rumors that Yu Mira killed Heka. I
can’t tell you in detail because I’m afraid my identity will be revealed.
Say it bluntly.
Private is what killed Heka
– What is this guy again
? – Yes, I’ll
say yes haha – Don’t say it straight ㅅㄱ
– Ah Private is what killed Heka ㅡㅡ
– Yes, that’s right. Please don’t cry and tell me.
The community was all about Kibo, Heka, Private, and Yumira.
‘As expected, there is no information about Chao.’
Kang Seol visited the community every day just in case, but there was no significant result yet.
In the end, the snowfall had to turn around and head there again.
The only trace of Chao left in Nobira and a place where confusing information is gathered. To her laboratory hidden in the mansion.
The surroundings of the mansion remained the same.
Unmanaged weeds and an eerie atmosphere. Even the broken windows were intact.
Chao must have paid a considerable amount of money in advance, and no one else seemed to have come near him at all.
Ssuk…
The snowfall passed quickly beyond the broken window. This time, perhaps because I had already gone through the process once, I didn’t have the hassle of remembering options.
Squeak…
“Whew… here we are again.”
A place plastered with pictures of difficult-to-understand patterns and distracting phrases.
Whoa…
Whirring! Whilick-!
The black energy of the snowfall summoned Karuna and Jamad.
“What again? “I’m sure they won’t make me do that again, right?”
Snowfall looked away as if embarrassed by Jamard’s harsh gaze.
“Please take care of this damn thing.”
Even though it was Jamard who spoke so bluntly, he eventually confirmed the information one by one, starting from one corner.
– Now I watch Snowman for this taste.
– I became addicted to Jamard’s contradictory behavior…
– He grumbles before work, but once he starts work, he works hard.
Karuna also stayed on the wall without saying anything and checked the contents.
Snowfall and the summoned beasts spent time like that for well over an hour.
Even though it is a worker’s virtue to work silently, this was such a boring time that it left a bitter taste in my mouth.
That was the reason why Kangseol took the trouble to talk to Karuna.
“Karuna.”
“Yes, master.”
“Isn’t it inconvenient because you don’t have a sword?”
Karuna answered as if it were very obvious.
“Even without a sword, I can protect my master.”
– Inhale! (covers mouth)
– I’m touched! You’re promoted!
– Haha, Kadaeri knows how to live a social life!
Jamard, who heard those words from the side, curled the corners of his mouth.
“Be faithful too.”
“Don’t be sarcastic, troll.”
“Did it sound like that? “It is pure praise.”
Normally they bickered like this, but it was surprising why they got along so well when they went into battle.
“master.”
“Why did you find something?”
“That’s not it… I think I’ve seen this pattern somewhere.”
“pattern?”
“Yes, I don’t know where I saw it, but it’s definitely a pattern that exists somewhere in my memory.”
There were various patterns all over the walls, so I didn’t look at each one in detail.
This process was tedious, and Karuna seemed to have gotten a clue, so Kang Seol checked the pattern he pointed to.
A strange-looking flame filled with a round border.
“Is this a pattern I’ve never seen before?”
“Is that so?”
“But is this really the pattern you remember?”
“yes. “I feel something strong about this pattern.”
-My memories before becoming an apostle are as hazy as a fog.
Karuna cannot remember the past.
When he told me that the pattern in front of him was a pattern from his memory, Kang Seol was embarrassed, but on the other hand, he became more interested.
‘What about the content?’
A phrase left by Chao was written around the pattern.
– What benefits does the status of a summoned beast provide in becoming one with the summoner, and is it truly a solution that can overcome all instability?
‘What does this mean?’
A phrase that is almost like an alien language.
Kangseol scratched his neck nervously and confirmed the following.
– There are those who try to exploit the vitality of the great forest. Life force is the source of life and is especially used by those who want to reject death.
‘The vitality of the great forest?’
– Someone has sneaked into the forest. Are they remnants of eternal life, or are they something else entirely? No, if you can use them, you might be able to obtain a powerful shadow. Those who have gone into hiding are clearly necromancers, those who refuse to die.
Necromancers have hidden themselves in the Great Forest.
‘why?’
– What is their true purpose and where do the corpses they want to resurrect come from? It seems worth taking the time to look into it.
At that moment, the adventure was forcibly assigned.
[The secret ritual adventure of the necromancers is scheduled.]
[This adventure is a linked adventure, so you cannot choose the next adventure.]
“Huh…”
Should I be happy that I found the clue or embarrassed that I was forced to choose? Whether to do it.
Kangseol looked at Karuna without realizing it. Karuna gave Kangseol a hard look.
As if I absolutely had to go here.
Jamard said from behind the snowfall.
“I think the iron block is curious about that pattern. How about going there next time?”
Karuna glanced at Jamad and then returned his gaze to Kangseol.
“Okay, let’s head here next.”
“Thank you, master.”
In addition to Karuna’s curiosity, I couldn’t find any other information to replace it, so it was right to head here now.
However, this adventure was coupled with Novira’s low travel luck and the special situation of forced adventure assignment.
‘I’m a little anxious because of the low travel luck and forced adventure assignment.’
Of course, I was prepared for various problems, but no matter how much I prepared, I couldn’t help feeling anxious.
‘I need to find Chao and get out of Nobira as quickly as possible.’
That’s what Kangseol promised.
* * *
News from Xiamen reached Jiang Seol sooner than expected.
Two nights before the transfer to the new adventure, a messenger from Xiamen via Kibo came to Jiang Seol.
“They say the item is ready.”
“Can you tell me you’ll come visit me now?”
“of course.”
Kibo’s minions were polite.
He wasn’t always rude, but he seemed even more so after what happened with Heka.
Especially Yu Mira’s reaction. Even though I knew her reserved personality, I always kept my courtesy to Kang Seol every time I encountered her.
‘It’s inconvenient…’
Are you afraid or respectful?
Of course, both were bad.
According to the circumstances I found out later, it was said that Kibo gave that order.
Anyway, Kang Seol was now at the place where he first met Xiamen. As the night air became colder, the quiet streets seemed even more lonely.
“Are you here?”
“Xiamen.”
“There is no need to eat inside. The thing is finished.”
Xiamen walked out with his back.
Behind him, two objects wrapped in thin cloth appeared.
“Please take it.”
Hwiik.
Kang Seol caught the object that Ha Mun lightly threw.
[Obtain the Helmet of Calmness.]
Seeing that the name of the helmet had changed, it seemed that Xiamen’s work was successful.
But for some reason, Xiamen was hesitating while holding the most important item, the Moonlight Sword.
“…Xiamen?”
“Let me tell you what’s wrong with this sword.”
“Is there a problem with the Moonlight Sword?”
“Yes, there was a problem, and it still remains.”
“What is the problem?”
Xiamen looked at the sword wrapped in cloth with eyes full of doubt.
“The era in which it was born, the engraved techniques, and the magic used are made up of unknown techniques. Not only that, but even though it is a highly evolved work, many things are suppressed.”
“Are you oppressed?”
“This sword was suppressing not only its own power, but also the power of its owner.”
“…Is that possible?”
“These are things I thought were impossible until now. “You’re peeking into another wall.”
As information about the Moonlight Sword continued to flow from Xiamen’s mouth, Jiang Seol began to have some doubts.
‘Now that I think about it…’
Karuna was a summon obtained during the first adventure at the beginning of the game. Of course, it was clear that it would be weaker than the summons that would be obtained later.
But so far there has been no sign of that happening. As I grew up, something started to change.
His abilities soared, and his skill in battle was unrivaled.
Kang Seol was confused as to whether this was a gap in information that occurred because he was training a shadow summoner for the first time, or if Karuna was truly special.
And if Karuna is special, is there any reason why his favorite weapon, the Moonlight Sword, is only rare?
Kang Seol had such doubts.
Xiamen said, holding the sword tightly with both hands.
“We succeeded in removing many spells, but there are still many spells that cannot be compared. I wonder what a sword that is free of all spells will look like.”
But something unexpected happened in the snowfall.
This is what Xiamen said as he took the sword into his arms.
“So I won’t be able to hand over this sword like this.”
