Episode 298 Let’s Get Rid of It
Moved with Seo-ryang. The sun is setting. I plan to decide the outcome today.
I couldn’t help but feel rushed, but I couldn’t help it.
‘As things stand, one person dies per day.’
Behigawa and Gelik.
There is a victim every day.
It’s just a guess since we don’t know the specifics of the wish unless we’re the person involved, but it seemed pretty credible.
“Seoryang, are you ready?”
“Oh, I made the warriors stand by so they wouldn’t be noticed.”
“I’ll leave the rest to Ha-wol.”
He asked Seo-Ryang to prepare in case a village-level conflict arises.
Ha-wol also sent letters to other representatives saying that he had found the culprit and was secretly gathering warriors.
At the eastern entrance to the village, the representatives gathered again.
Eight representatives. Their eyes sparkled.
“Is it true that you found the culprit, human?”
Taiga, who had a quick temper, asked. The others seemed curious as well, so he didn’t stop them.
Only Seo Ryang and Ha Wol, who heard first who the culprit was, kept their mouths shut and kept a poker face.
There’s a reason I only told these two people. I thought they wouldn’t show it even if they knew who the culprit was.
By the way, the village of the Cat People is near the village of the criminals. Ha-wol was able to quickly send messages to others using mysterious magic.
The preparations are more or less complete.
“I think it’s pretty clear. All we have to do is confirm it.”
“Mere suspicion is not enough! You have to be certain!”
“Chicken Man, it’s fortunate that the suspected person has appeared for now. It seems like there’s a way to confirm it.”
Seo Ryang comes forward to support him.
Actually, Seo-ryang had already predicted the culprit who caused the night of madness before I came.
“Let’s go to the pond.”
The path has been memorized during the day. Let’s walk ahead and others will follow.
There were no torches, but none of those gathered here wandered about in the darkness.
The road was quiet. Everyone lost one or two of their own kind.
I don’t know about anything else, but Suin is a race with strong kinship.
‘The culprit also attacked his own people, it’s a special case.’
I thought there would definitely be a difference. Being in the representative position also means being the most dedicated to your people.
When you make a wish to scratch your own neck, wouldn’t you exclude your own kind? Or even if you didn’t, you might have put it at the bottom of the list.
Because of such doubts, Hippotus and Gray decided that it was unlikely that he was the culprit.
It’s just circumstantial evidence. There’s no evidence whatsoever. It’s just a judgment based on circumstantial evidence and possibility.

The next thing I noticed was the dead guardians near the pond. I saw them in person and interviewed them to hear detailed stories.
You said there were bite marks on your fingernails or toenails.
Chicken Man and Rihanna are excluded here.
In addition, the Ungin tribe, who always lived in caves, and Seo-ryang, who was stuck in the laboratory, had a clear alibi for the past month. At least, they couldn’t have discovered the pond first.
The only ones left are Ha-wol and Taiga.
‘According to what other representatives say, Ha-wol doesn’t engage in direct combat. He mainly uses sorcery.’
They have sharp fingernails and toenails, but they do not compete with physical strength.
It is said that the same was true during the night of madness. Gray, who had fought him directly, mentioned that Howell showed a weak side in close combat.
If you fight one-on-one, you might be able to win, but it’s impossible to win in hand-to-hand combat against all the Guardians.
Then, all that’s left is the hoin tribe Taiga.
One of the most aggressive and skilled at close combat, and one of the losers of the night who takes pride in the marks of the beast.
All circumstances pointed to Taiga being the culprit, but… … .
‘It’s not Taiga.’
I changed my mind after seeing the item Morto gave me.
“Arrived.”
“Everyone, get out of the way! I have something to check!”
The newly arrived guardians and warriors from each village who were deployed for security.
They were taken aback by the unexpected visit of the representatives, but soon gave way. The guardians were still standing there.
“Please step aside for a moment.”
“No matter what you do at the pond, there has to be an observer.”
One of the guardians blocked the way.
I wanted to keep it as invisible as possible. There’s no benefit to revealing the identity of the culprit.
He could have attacked the culprit’s village, vowing revenge with harsh words.
Only the representatives know the location of the pond.
Although there is a bear tribe ocean, he is not capable of dealing with the guardian.
I looked at the representatives and they nodded.
“Don’t worry. The Guardian won’t come out unless you’re using the pond. Whatever you see or hear, you’ll forget.”
Well then, what?
We stood in front of the pond. There was no sign of an accident. Only the pond, quietly swaying, sparkled in the moonlight.

Seo Ryang used the skill.
The Guardians are Guardians, but outside, warriors from each village stand guard.
Since they are people with good ears, they have to take this level of action.

“The culprit is inside.”
I opened my mouth and looked at the representatives.
Actually, there is a simple way to find out who the culprit is.
“Would you like to make a wish?”
“Don’t you know it’s impossible to find the culprit in the pond? Someone has already made a wish.”
As Hippotus said, the pond does not grant wishes with the same result.
You can’t turn the conversation around and ask for horns to grow on the culprit’s head or for his hair to turn green.
Ultimately, it means that you want to know the identity of the criminal.
Then we have no choice but to use another method.
Let’s slowly reveal the information.
“Do you still believe that the culprit killed the guardian and made a wish?”
“of course!”
“Isn’t that right?”
“no.”
There was no need to make a wish in the first place.
Because I already made that wish a long time ago.
“The culprit of this incident is the same person who caused the night of madness. You already made a wish to find out who caused the night of madness, right? That’s why the pond didn’t respond.”
The representatives began to stir. The guardian who had been keeping his mouth shut also frowned.
“Who was the person who made the wish to be identified at that time?”
Who are you? Who are you?
“Isn’t that Rihanna?”
“… I am right.”
“Come and see.”
Rihanna slowly approaches me.
“Your wish hasn’t come true yet?”
“Well, there’s no way that a wish will come true right away. No one knows when or how it will come true.”
“No. Your wish would have come true. You just knew it because you made the wish yourself. It was a meaningless wish. Let’s try again. Something a little different.”
If you can’t ask who the culprit is, then just ask something else.
You have to make a wish that is one step away from the incident.
I took out the items I received from Morto from my inventory.
[Broken Pier Claw Piece]
– A fragment of a claw made from the fingernails and toenails of several people.
-The nails were used as is without any processing.
– Self-made weapons.
-Your production skills aren’t very good!
Claw. It’s called a claw weapon and it was discovered by Morto where the Guardians were killed.

According to the guy, one of the guardians was hugging it tightly.
I could feel the Guardian’s will to leave behind clues until the moment of his death.
Rihanna’s eyes waver.
“Liana, make a wish. Tell me who created this weapon.”
I took a step forward and looked around at the representatives.
“It’s a fragment of the weapon the culprit used to deal with the Guardian. You can confirm it by comparing it to the wounds left on the body. And… … .”
Thump.
I flicked the claw fragments with my fingers. The unsecured nails shook.
“I have the crafting skill. This is a weapon I made myself. The person who made it doesn’t have any crafting skills. You can tell just by looking at it breaking.”
If the production technology had been only B-grade, it wouldn’t have been broken this easily.
An object made clumsily by someone who literally has no manufacturing skills.
“The killer tried to create confusion. All the bodies had claw marks. It was to make people suspect the carnivore. He probably made a wish along the lines of ‘One person a day goes into the forest and slits the back of their neck to death.’ Do you agree?”
I took another step closer to Rihanna.
“Some of the claws used in this weapon must have belonged to Gellick. Three fingers were missing, and only one was found. The place where that finger was was in the house of the Toyin tribe.”
He bent down slightly to be at Rihanna’s eye level.
She clenches her fist.
“Someone must have secretly put it there while the owner was away. If there were people in the house, they couldn’t have done it. Who knew the house was empty? Other villagers? The village leader? I think we have the answer.”
“… It’s a patchwork. It’s just a story made up of vague objects and imagination!”
Rihanna screamed, but I didn’t even blink.
“It’s not imagination. There are witnesses, Howell.”
“all right.”
Ha-wol takes a piece of wood out of his bosom.
The piece of wood with the talisman attached to it didn’t look like anything special.
-Cheer up
-Phew!
When I took off the amulet, it turned into a raccoon man.
A familiar face.
“I am the one who found the claw fragments and the only witness who was nearby when the Guardians were attacked.”
Morto stretches, feeling a bit tired.
Other people’s eyes widen.
“If not Morto, then that loner?”
“You’ve been out there all this time. You must be doing something dangerous.”
“That’s not the point! Is it true that you witnessed it?”
Morto nodded his head hesitantly, perhaps feeling burdened by everyone’s gaze.
“I heard a fight, so I went there and disguised myself as a rock, afraid that I would get caught up. I can’t be sure because their faces are covered, but there were Toyin. The Toyin guardians wouldn’t have claw marks on their bodies. Their necks were twisted.”

Why is it that only the guardians of the Toyin tribe lost their necks?
He probably didn’t want to even slaughter his own kind.
No one criticized him for hiding and not helping the Guardian. Instead, they encouraged him for being brave and not running away from the spot.
Morto stepped back and the village leaders approached Riana.
“Make a wish, Rihanna.”
“Or are you going to resist?”
Even if you are a representative of the Toyin tribe, it is impossible to deal with everyone gathered here.
These are the ones who survived the night of madness and rose to the top of each tribe.
“No, that’s okay. I’m the culprit. I killed the Guardians and made a wish.”
“Why on earth did you do this!”
Taiga shouted. He didn’t seem to understand at all.
Rihanna smiled bitterly as she looked at Taiga like that.
“Why? Look around you right now. How many herbivorous beastmen are here? Am I the only one? How many tribes were there before the night of madness? Before that! Raids, pillages, wars! Think about who was always being attacked.”
You guys should experience the same thing.
With those words, Rihanna had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
“Liana, you are under arrest for fratricide.”
As Gray declared,
[Chains of the Underworld (SS) Lv.MAX] [Anachne’s Cocoon (S) Lv.MAX] [Sinner’s Rope (S) Lv.MAX]
.
.
.
-Clang!
-Kugugugu!
Dozens of binding skills surrounded Rihanna, but Rihanna, with her body and mouth sealed, glared at the representatives with red eyes.
The hardships took their toll on her.
“You did something foolish, Rihanna.”
The softly ringing words of asceticism.
Even though they found the culprit, his expression wasn’t good.
This incident was not a simple crime. It was an incident that shattered the trust that Daerimwon had built up with difficulty.
[Clear Morto’s Advocate Quest!] [Clear Daerimwon’s Traitor Quest!] [Rewards will be paid.] [You will obtain the title Friends of the Water Tribe.]
.
.
.
The quest rewards received from Morto and each representative will drop.
“Thanks to you, I was able to finish the job before any greater sacrifices were made.”
“If anyone appears who opposes Evil Eye in the name of Daerimwon, I will personally step forward.”
“Ahem! I’m sorry for ignoring you because you’re human, human.”
Advertisements
“Thank you. Leave the rest to us.”
I opened my mouth as I looked at those greeting me.
“What are your plans for the future?”
A question that contains many implications.
How will Daerimwon move?
The fact that there is a traitor among the representatives means that there may be some villagers who want a night of madness.
This time we caught him, but who knows what next time. It could be a member of some tribe that’s doing it.
Bam. I snapped my fingers.
“I got a wish ticket as a quest reward, right?”
“yes.”
“I will write it right now.”
I’ve already decided where I’m going to use the wish ticket.
“Let’s get rid of the wish-granting pond.”
