Chapter 21

Seol cleared the 1st Gate using his memory, not the translated copy.

His viewers were in shock from his unpredictable actions.

['They'reComing!' has donated 200 Madness!]

[There are pursuers after you! Huh? You passed through?]

- He's speeding through this like a highway.

- He should pay the toll fee then.

- But why did he leave the translated copy behind?

- He said he doesn't need it.

After he passed through the gate, he walked through a one-way passage.

Not too long after, the 2nd Gate appeared.

'The walls are filled with holes... it's as I remember.'

He could perfectly recall everything.

Seol then concentrated to look at a passage written from afar.

There was a sentence written on the wall in an ancient language.

Soon after, he saw his options.

[[In front, arrow traps lay on either side, and some text, written in an unknown ancient language. What do you do?]

1. Spend some time trying to reason out what could be written in the ancient language.

2. Attempt to find the trap trigger by throwing an object.

3. Clear the room by rushing through it.

4. [Required: Disarm Trap or Rogue] Disarm the arrow traps

5. [Required: Mechanical Engineering] Check how the mechanisms operate.

6. [Required: Archaeology or Shaman] Decipher the ancient language.

......]

"......"

Option 1 had a high chance of failure and option 2 was pointless because throwing a rock would just trigger the trap.

The same went for option 3.

'Arrows are fast after all.'

There were way too many arrows to ask Jamad to catch and it was also considerably fast.

'And if I even get poisoned a little bit, it's going to be dangerous.'

Since Seol wasn't a rogue, option 4 was impossible too.

Option 5 required him to destroy the core of the mechanism but Seol had no idea where that was.

Therefore, the only option left to him was option 6.

The option that Seol chose before was also option 6.

'Back then, the phrase was something like...'

- Be humble and exercise self-control. Thank Yzmokan for their generosity as vast as the ocean.

Seol remembered that line clearly.

Seol only found this out later but 'The Hall of Self-Control' was a place used to worship an unknown native god.

The fact that they were capable of building something this massive made Seol curious about how strong their believers were but that wasn't important right now. What was important was that this ruin was no different from a temple.

'So I either have to pray or get down on my knees to bow.'

One of Seol's former party members died here.
