Record of a Thousand Lives

For several days, the wagon ran without rest.

Thanks to this, we were able to reach Laviesk much faster than expected.

The heat from the car window pierced my skin.

“It's not like other cities. ”

The stone structure, built on a practical side, was full of cities.

A loose grain of sand crumbles through the stone floor.

Seeing that the situation is not a good place, the eyes of the passers-by were sharp.

“Yes, in a bad way. ”

Henryk grumbles.

The thieves' valuables were disposed of in the Supply Depot, with the exception of practical ones.

The merchant was curious about where he had gotten so much stuff, and handed over a large bag of Doubloons.

“Let's pack up our luggage and dump the wagon. ”

I couldn't ride a wagon all the way from the desert.

However, I encountered an unexpected challenge.

Iris never tried to break up with the horse.

She grabs the white horse by the neck with tears.

“Do I really have to leave snow behind? ”

“Snow Snow? Did you name your horse? ”

Iris seriously nods.

“Just like Kang Yoon-soo gave me a name, I gave him a name. Names are very important. ”

White Horse blushes, as if in harmony with Iris.

Kang Yoon-soo glanced at her and said.

“Leave the wagon at the nearby inn. We can come back later. ”

“Thank you very much. ”

Iris smiles brightly.

Henryk looks suspicious.

“How can you be so strangely generous? ”

Then Kang Yoon-soo added.

“No matter how precious, we can't be together forever. ”

“I always do, but Kang Yoon-soo seems to be trying everything. ”

Shanette said as if it were strange.

Kang Yoon-soo glanced at her eyes for a long time and turned her head.

The group stops by the largest treasure hunter clan.

Sandy treasure hunters have been drinking or manipulating their equipment.

The middle-aged man sitting at the counter asked.

“What business do you have? ”

“I'm going to the Desert of Doom. ”

“There are a lot of easy ways to kill yourself, but I don't know why they want to die so hard. ”

The middle-aged man pulls some pretty old equipment out of the locker.

Windbreakers, field shovels, leather bags, barrels, maps, compasses, and tents.

He asked with a cliché.

“First time in the desert? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“Then you know better. There are more than a few things that go into the desert to get their share and dry up with the backbone. Please don't be greedy. Come back immediately if you don't want to. Don't waste your life. ”

Shanette looks back at the treasure hunters around her.

“So many people go to the Desert of Doom at this time of year, right? ”

“Some have gone anywhere in the world. ”

“Is there so much treasure in the desert? ”

“Pursuing the remnants of an extinct civilization. I heard you found the Golden Mask of the Ancient King. There's a lot of chattering about it since you found the High Septon's sword. But more than half of it is bullshit. Instead of wishing for great luck in a desolate desert, I'd rather work hard. ”

Kang Yoon-soo paid for the equipment.

The party buys four camels from the merchant.

You hung a load under the crooked back of the camel.

“Let's go.”

It was a moment when I reached the desert.

Fifty Fire Trolls have gathered.

Unlike regular Trolls, the atmosphere trembles as they gather together with the power of flames.

Representatives of each tribe were gathered here to discuss the burden.

Troll Shrine has declared.

“We need a bridegroom! ”

“What is a goddess bridegroom! ”

“Last night, Goddess Sylphia appeared in my dreams! He asked me to bring a man who would do his bidding! So we need a bridegroom! ”

The Fire Trolls frown in wonder.

Sylphia, the goddess of the continent, was also a thing that Trolls feared.

One of the fire trolls steps forward.

“Then I'll be goddess's bridegroom! ”

“Stupid! That's ridiculous! ”

The Troll Pantheon beats the spinning honey night.

The man clenches his fist, but endures the intervention of the other Trolls.

“The bridegroom is entitled to draw the sword of the Trust! ”

The Troll Shrine points to a white sword.

You see only a piece of the Black Sword and its hilt half-buried in the sandstone.

Nevertheless, no one could tell that it was not an ordinary weapon.

“Then I will draw this sword! ”

“Fool!”

Troll Shrine struck Honey Night again.

He was hit earlier.

He raises the club as if he can't stand it, but the other Trolls barely tolerate the dried barrels with chi.

“To draw the sword, you must pass the ordeal of Chloride! ”

“We are strong against fire! It's renewable!”

“Yanak is right! Trial of Chloride is nothing to us! ”

The Troll Pantheon flies his fist at the Troll's head in front of him.

It was him again.

Trolls called Yanakra scream in anger, but they do not pretend to have heard of the Troll Shrine.

“We cannot be bridegroom of the goddess! ”

“Why! We want Sylphia's trust, the goddess of the continent! ”

A Troll protests.

The other Fire Trolls have joined in.

The Troll Pantheon shouts.

“Even if we pass through the trials of Chloride and draw our swords, we don't have the most important qualifications! ”

“Why not?”

“Tell me why! ”

The Troll Pantheon solemnly said.

“The bridegroom of the goddess must be handsome! ”

“I'm so handsome! So I'll be goddess's bridegroom! ”

“You have no conscience! ”

The Pantheon slaps the Temple of the Fire Troll.

Unfortunately, it was Janak.

“I'm the only one who keeps getting hit! ”

Yanak wept too deeply.

The other Fire Trolls rub their shoulders to comfort Yanak.

“The goddess's aesthetic standards are different from ours! That's why we can't be bridesmaids! ”

“This is racism! ”

“Yes! Why can't Trolls be bridegroom of the goddess?" ”

The Fire Trolls protest roughly.

Then the Troll Pantheon simply retaliated.

“Trolls don't suit the goddess's taste! ”

The Fire Trolls are in deep shock.

“You cannot choose a bride from among us! That's why we have to kidnap him! Who can be a bridegroom of the goddess for us! ”

The Trolls are distracted by the boss' words.

A Troll screams in panic.

“Kidnapping! What a nasty, disgusting act! ”

“Yes! I was disqualified as a Troll before I was a warrior! ”

“Quiet, everyone! That's why we can't be bridesmaids! ”

The Troll Pantheon shattered its fangs to see if it was a problem.

“Tell me the worst thing you've done this week! I will give the one who has done the worst... a chance to be the bridegroom of the goddess! ”

The Fire Trolls look confused.

But when they realized the opportunity had come, they all shouted.

“I found a lost child walking through the desert! You looked at me and took the stunned child to a nearby village! Kuhahaha! The town will have to waste food and shelter for non-productive insects from now on! ”

“No, I'm the worst! I dug the only spring in the desert to let another seal flow! Now no one can monopolize the fountain! ”

Everyone said their bad things.

Then Yanak proudly shouts.

“I stepped on an innocent scorpion passing by! ”

“Oh!”

The other fire trolls clap their hands in praise of Yanak's wickedness.

Yanak scratches his back at shame.

“Honestly, I didn't mean it! I just walked by and stepped on it! ”

“Nothing to be ashamed of! You're bad enough to be a bridegroom of the goddess! ”

The Fire Troll taps Yanak on the shoulder and encourages him.

The Troll Shrine sighs.

“Trolls are so naive! The goddess doesn't want him to be a bridegroom! You need to know the world's worth! ”

“So the goddess bridegroom is a bad, handsome man! ”

The Fire Trolls run wild.

“Bad, handsome guy! I don't know why females like that! ”

“Yes! All the other good ones are the best, but the females don't know that! ”

Taste controversy, not timing, flourished.

Troll Shrine frowned and said.

“Anywhere in the desert, kidnap him! A man worthy of being the bridegroom of the goddess! ”

“Why don't you bring in one of our closest elves! ”

“You can't do that! The Elves only meet one mate in their lifetime! So it's rude to ask a goddess to be a bridegroom! Abduct the Elves, but the others! ”

The Fire Trolls talk amongst themselves, wondering who they're going to kidnap.

But it couldn't have worked out so well.

The Troll Pantheon gave birth to a castle.

“I will make him chief, the man who kidnapped the goddess's bridegroom! So get out of here! ”

“Oh!”

His recommendation was the easiest way to become chief.

Originally, it was a basic procedure to get the claws of a corpse vulture or the teeth of a giant anthill.

The Fire Trolls left for the Desert of Doom in search of a bridegroom for the goddess.

“It's hot.”

“It's hot.”

Henryk and Iris struggled with the heat.

The desert sunlight was murderous.

The skin was covered over a thin windbreaker, but the hot heat dug through the skin.

“Aren't you hot? ”

Henryk asks Kang Yoon-soo and Shanette across the street.

They did not look tired in the sun.

“It's okay to drink. ”

“I haven't felt much heat since I joined the Ignus Warrior. ”

Henryk frowns.

“They're not human. ”

Even on a camel, there was no way to overcome the heat.

A vast desert of thick sand.

The name of the Desert of Doom was a place where life could not easily survive.

“Summon Icicle Arc. ”

Kang Yoon-soo summoned the Ice Spirit.

Akel looks around and is furious.

“Are you crazy? How dare you summon me out of this hot desert? ”

“I need air. ”

“Huh! Why should I listen to you? ”

“Frostborn crown. ”

The Frostborn Crown was acquired from Winterkill Ruins.

An item that Akel covets, thanks to its cool magical power and dazzling appearance.

“Chet, you cheeky bastard. ”

Henryk frowns as he wipes his sweat.

“There you go, Ice Spirit. Try to make some cool ice by name. ”

“You can't make ice here. There's no moisture in the atmosphere. ”

“No, when did magic become so realistic? ”

“Hmph! You talk too much about a human who can't even touch ice properly! Our spirits' magic is constrained by the environment. That's why I can't use my powers well in the desert. ”

“Well, that's disgusting. Ice that you can't miss when it's hot. ”

“What did you just say? ”

Akel stares at Henryk, who is being sarcastic.

It was just then.

Iris, exhausted from the heat, hugs Akel like a predator.

“Ouch! Don't let go! You fucking bitch! ”

Akel struggles in a panic, but he can't get rid of Iris' power.

Iris rubs her face against Akel's cheek and makes a happy face.

“The Arkle is really cool. ”

“…… If you use the Ice Spirit as a cold pouch, you will have no history of the continent. ”

Shanette looks ridiculous.

Kang Yoon-soo looked back at his noisy colleagues and the other side of the desert.

‘I should get a sword first. ’
