The 31st Piece Overturns the Game Board

Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Seol was taken aback by Mael's big smile as he rode the baku to the Libra Tower.

'Mael's joining this Adventure? He shouldn't have any connections to them, though?'

Rumble rumble...

Seol, after promising himself to ask Mael questions the moment they arrived at the tower, patiently waited for just that.

"Halt. Everyone, please stop right there."

Thankfully, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance.

"Urgh... The mana here is too heavy, Master," said Fryn.

"That's to be expected, though. The Libra Tower is specialized in this, after all."

- Why did Mael show up here?

- WTF? MAEL?

- How is it all connected?

- Why is a troll at the magic tower?

- That's kind of racist.

- But trolls aren't humans, though?

- I guess that's true. I guess you're species-ist?

- Ah, you're right. My bad.

Those weren't the only reactions Mael's unexpected appearance received from the viewers. Many also learned something from Seol's experience in Yognatun.

- Holy shit... How big is this getting if Mael is joining?

- Honestly, Mael is just a sign that this Adventure will go crazy LMFAO

- Seriously, he just makes things bigger...

- Just like how Conan is always around crime scenes...

- No, crimes happen because Conan shows up 😨

After a few moments, Seol stepped out of the carriage to greet Mael.

"Have you been well?" asked Mael.

"It's always the same old for me, but... What brings you to the Libra Tower?"

Mael gave a big smile once more before responding.

"It is likely for the same reason as you, Snowman."

Frannan had a confused expression after hearing that.

"Huh? I didn't hear anything about trolls joining us?" asked Frannan.

Mael turned to Frannan with a sincere expression.

"Then have you perhaps heard about the Artifact Association being related to this matter?"

"I have. Ah, I see. So you were a member of the Artifact Association?"

"I am."

Only then did Frannan start nodding to himself, as if he understood the situation.

"I knew the guys from the Artifact Association were freaks, but I didn't think they'd be hiding a treasure like this. Ah, that was a compliment. I wasn't trying to insult you."

"Then I will also accept it as a compliment and thank you for it, human."

Despite his extensive career as a magician, it was Frannan's first time encountering a troll perfectly adapted to human society like this.

He gave Mael a curious glance before asking further.

"So, how did you two know each other?"

"I owe a huge debt to Snowman," Mael replied. "He played a significant role in allowing me to step into the world."
