Regularity! We need to find regularity. ’

A square puzzle plate made of five columns and five rows.

and the twenty-five rectangular plates that need to be filled on top.

It was the same square puzzle that fit into any location, but the placement in any location did not solve the puzzle.

We need to find some regularity based on the given information and arrange the tablets in their respective locations.

And from what I've seen so far, this puzzle is nothing special.

The puzzle of sorting according to the rules, based on the given information, was more common than one might think.

The problem was that the ‘information’ was too limited and insufficient.

Now, the information given to Ian was only icons of the number of callers engraved on each tablets. In fact, if it was someone other than Ian, he would have thrown the tablets away with a ridiculous look.

Most users couldn't even tell what to do with the summoner icons.

Zec.

Ian took out his parchment notes, which he often used in his arms, and started listing the information as he knew it.

And as she watched the shape at her side, she became increasingly bored.

"What the fuck, man? I'm happy to write a paper. ’

He would, too, that Ian's summoned information had filled five parchments.

But no matter what she did, Ian was already obsessed with the puzzle, mumbling with a grumpy face as if he were trapped in a world of his own.

“Well, if I do this... ”

After a while.

Ian, who was writing something down on the parchment, was momentarily touching the pen and thinking.

0002 – Fur Mane Wolf

0004 – Penlìr

0006 – Big Tooth Wolf

0008 – Lacan

0010 - Hattie

0012 - Fighting Dog

…… approximate……

0018 – Fox

0019 - Big-Tailed Fox

Ian, who was thinking of something, suddenly took the ninth tablet and looked carefully and tilted his head.

“Everything else is even, and he's the only odd one? ”

He felt strange while listing the serial number of the summons drawn on the twenty-five tablets.

The serial number of the summoned number that went up to a multiple of 2 suddenly became odd on the ninth slate.

However, I quickly realized something, shaking my head and erasing a row.

“Come to think of it, it's not a big-tail fox icon. Charmander icon.”

0019 - Big-Tailed Fox

0020 – Charmander

Charmander is a summoned water that is an evolved form of a large tail fox.

But with the exception of the number of tails, the icon was similar because it looked almost like a large tail fox.

It's a trap.), Ian listed all twenty-five summons.

…… Strategy……

0048 - Great Lakes

0050 – Halican

And I stared at them, and I thought deeper.

‘The first rule we found is that the summoners' serial numbers are all even and in order……. But this can't be the whole puzzle. ’

If the serial numbers were mixed up, Ian might have thought that the solution to the puzzle was to put them in order.

After all, if you didn't know anything about summoners, you'd have found a hidden rule that you never knew.

However, the twenty-five slates were arranged in this serial number sequence from the beginning.

That's why it can't be the answer to the puzzle.

Then what the hell is it? This serial number can't be this regular for nothing……. ’

Ian stood up and approached the puzzle with the first slate, the 'Fur Mane Wolf’ slate.

Since we have not studied the puzzle in detail, we thought there might be a clue in the plate.

And as Ian predicted, there was a "hint" hidden in the puzzle.

As Ian approaches, system messages begin to emerge with new system messages.

- Tyring!

-The energy of the abyss that was hidden in the dust awakens.

-The challenger will be given the first hint.

Whoo-hoo!

A puzzle edition that begins to glow golden with a message.

Ian's eyes slightly widened, watching it carefully.

“ ……? ”

I didn't even think of the "hint" that appeared on the puzzle with the message.

And by his side, Lilson mutters with a soulless expression.

“What's this number again? ”

Lilson and Ian's gaze was embedded in the puzzle, and the twenty-five sections of each puzzle had the following golden numbers floating:

5 6 1 2 4

5 1 2 4 5

1 2 4 5 5

3 4 5 5 1

3 5 6 1 3

“What is this? ”

“Do you know him? ”

“How the fuck should I know, bitch? ”

“How do I solve this? ”

“Phew……. I don't suppose there's anything to call customer service about? ”

The monitoring room of the planning team that is still monitoring Ian's screen today.

After lunch, the team members gathered in front of the screen with a cup of coffee.

hoping Ian will slip while conquering the Abyssal Ruins.

And the wishes of those team members were actually not very promising.

With Ian, the ignorant, who defeated the Guardians and broke through the evil ruins, nothing seemed impossible.

But only 30 minutes ago.

From the beginning of lunch time, the team members began to have expectations of work.

A puzzle appeared in front of Ian's party that quickly broke through the seven gates at the entrance to the ruins, boasting an all-time difficulty level.

Because it was a gateway designed by the three teams, the first team didn't know about it, and the puzzle suddenly appeared to them in difficulty as if it were a beam of light.

Even this time, there was no way of ignorantly solving the puzzle.

“Wow, who came up with this puzzle? ”

“You must be Team Leader Three. ”

“What is this? I can't even figure it out. ”

“What the hell am I supposed to do? ”

The face of the Planning 3 team members that gradually brightens up the depth of Ian's worries on the screen.

But that first team's bright expression didn't last very long, so that's the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest in the office.).

Glug.

A man who slightly opens the office door of team 1 and sticks his head down.

“What are you all doing? Were you watching Ian? ”

Najchan, who is not a "he," appears in the office of the first team.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Hey, boss! ”

“I'm the captain! ”

Of course, Najchan was the one who gave the team a glimpse of hope.

However, even so, he was never a happy guest for Kim, Ui-Hwan and the first team.

Recent Planning Team 3 is the only planning team without overtime (?).

Nazi Chan, who came into the monitoring room, approached Kim Yinghwan and opened his mouth with a big smile.

“Sunbae, did you work late last night? ”

“That's what.... ”

“You know what? ”

“What?”

“I haven't worked late in over a week. ”

“This guy……! ”

Yamchi comes in with a grumpy look and gives a big shout to the first team.

But Najchan's saltiness did not end here.

If I had intended to end it this way, I wouldn't have come all the way here for a golden lunch.

“Even for the first time since I joined, I've spent all my years. ”

“Phew, what are you doing here? ”

“I want to cheer you on. ”

“Tough……. ”

“That's a compliment, right? ”

“Whatever you want. ”

Kim Yinghwan and Najchan, who were in a frenzy, stepped inside and took their place in the monitoring room.

In fact, he said so, but he didn't just come to the monitoring room of the team next door for salting.

I was curious about how Ian was going to solve the puzzle he had designed, because it was the biggest reason he showed up here.

“Hey, Ian, you're solving a puzzle at the Maw Tower entrance, right? ”

“Yes. Yes, you are. You said this was your plan. ”

Kim's question answered, nodding his head.

“Yes, exactly like the rest of the team, but I did almost everything. ”

“I thought that came out of your head, too. ”

“Hehe, thank you. ”

And as we started talking about planning, the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more heated.

Apart from the loathing, Nazchan was a big help in terms of the planner.

But then.

The atmosphere was reversed again as Yu's proxy who was next to them interrupted the conversation.

“I'm the captain. ”

“Uh, Judaism. Why?”

“I'm so curious, but what's the answer to the puzzle? ”

Because of the question of Judaism, Pandora's Box was opened.

“The answer to the puzzle…… Maybe if we monitor it, we'll find out? ”

“ ……! ”

“If it were Ian, it would take some time. ”

“What the……! ”

The most sad story that Judaism has heard in recent years.

“But if you know the answer, it will be more fun to watch, so I'll tell you the answer. ”

Najchan then began to share the answers to the puzzles with the team members of the first team, and as his story continued, people's expressions became increasingly frightening.

“Eek?”

“No, how do I solve this? ”

The content of the puzzle, it was harder than I thought.

“Ian solved this? ”

“If I untie this, I'll admit to another day of overtime. ”

And unlike the chaos of the team, Nazchan, who was excited and explained the puzzle, immersed himself in the sofa in the monitoring room and went into viewing mode.

He began to watch Ian's screen with an even more exciting look.

"Khh, I told you to tease the kids, but I wonder if Ian can really solve it." ’

And because of him, the team members of the puzzle focused on the screen again with a tense expression.

* * *

The numbers 1 through 6 are arranged in the middle heat. ’

Ian's eyebrows narrowed even more.

I don't think I've ever rolled my head like this while playing Kailan lately.

‘Besides, the numbers are different. 1 is five, but 2 and 3 are only three, right? 4 is four. 5 is eight.... ’

Ian's head is filled with so much data that he can't stop shaking.

There could not have been a problem that could not be solved, and in his head there was a greater amount of data related to the summons than anyone else.

Then this is a headfight.

Hints made my mind more confused, but I had no choice but to be more motivated.

‘That number has to do with the data of the summoners engraved on the tablets. ’

After arranging the twenty-five tablets, Ian closes his eyes.

At that moment, one clue in Ian's head flashed past him like lightning.

‘Wait.By the way, it turns out that the faction number for the werewolf summoner was number one. ’

Ian then opened his eyes and immediately the callers on the tablets were sorted by faction.

And by the time the classification was over, I could feel the light in my head.

Yeah, that's it! Five wolves. Three foxes. There are eight planks of the Dragon Clan and five clan numbers! ’

A real smile came out of Ian's mouth when he got the second clue.
