Episode 108: A pillar with the coconut family engraved on it
Cheon Do-un, who climbed the cliff, faced another difficulty.
“mister. It’s a big deal. “The bones are bigger than Blue’s.”
Nari Kim looked at the bones piled up on the floor with a puzzled face.
Blue was cowering in front of him as if he was dispirited.
-Beep, beep… .
That thing is too big. I can’t move. It seemed like he was saying that.
“Blue won’t work.”
I would have ordered it if I could, but just looking at it, the bones piled on the floor were bigger than Blue’s body. In particular, the rib bones alone are over 30 meters high.
No matter how skilled a parrot bird was at flying, it was impossible to fly in the sky while carrying this weight.
“We’ll need a bigger, stronger porter. How to move this… .”
Cheon Do-un thought for a moment and then got on Blue’s back.
“Nari Kim, let’s go home.”
“What about the bones? Are you leaving it like this?”
“Leave it alone for now. “I will come back with someone to move it.”
“Who wants to move it?”
“A porter bigger and stronger than Blue.”
Kim Nari’s eyes sparkled at Cheon Do-un’s words.
“Is there such a porter?”
“Yes. “He must be busy studying writing right now.”
Cheon Do-un said, thinking of the bird butterfly.
A bird butterfly, a very large monster, could move all of this in just one trip.
“let’s go. It won’t work if you just study too much. “Sometimes you have to give yourself time to exercise.”
If you have good workers, there is no reason not to use them.
Cheon Do-un smiled and headed home.
* * *
At the time Cheon Do-un arrived home, a group of hunters who had crossed the gate were shivering in the cold in the snowy field.
These hunters came to make a profit before winter, but it was too late.
“Wow, I never thought it would suddenly snow. “It was fine until noon yesterday.”
It’s been a day since I crossed the gate. The world turned white due to the snow that fell overnight.
The world turned into a snowy field was beautiful, but people who camped in the snow could not enjoy the scenery.
“I’m going to freeze to death if I keep doing this. “Captain, why don’t you just come back?”
“I want to do that too, but… It’s only been a day since you came. “It’s such a waste to have a hearthstone.”
Maybe it’s a high-level hunter who makes good money. To ordinary hunters, each hearthstone was precious.
“It’s so cold that we won’t be able to properly subdue it anyway. “Let alone subjugation, we will freeze to death first.”
The captain sighed at the dissatisfaction of his team members.
It was unfortunate, but there was no way. The moment he took out the hearthstone, one of his companions pointed to the sky.
“Look at that!”
Where he pointed, a huge flying monster was flying.
If that were all it was, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to it since it was a sight I saw often. However, I couldn’t help but gape at the overwhelming size of the monster.
“my… Are my eyes wrong? “What’s so big?”
It is an unprecedented size that ignores perspective.
“That’s the giant monster I’ve only heard about. “I’ve only seen it in books. This is my first time seeing it.”
“What are you holding on to your feet? “What is that?”
“Isn’t it a bone?”
The vaguely visible shape resembles a rib. I wouldn’t know if it meant hunting and taking prey. The hunters looked puzzled as they carried the bones.
“But what kind of monster is that? “It’s my first time seeing you.”
bird. No, butterfly. No, sleep? It was a type of monster that even the captain, who had spent a long time as a hunter, had never seen before.
Every time the monster flapped its wings, the snow accumulated on the ground flew around. Glittering powder mixed with the snow was scattered everywhere.
The hunters were mesmerized by the fascinating sight.
The huge monster boasted of high speed and disappeared beyond the horizon.
“ah… ! “I should have taken a picture!”
“I got it! however… Because the distance is far, the picture quality is not very good. “It was backlit, so the picture was dark.”
Hunter clicked his tongue when he saw the picture taken on his cell phone. Of course, it is a snowy field with no background whatsoever. Since there was nothing to compare it to, the size of the monster could not be conveyed through photos alone.
The man who was looking at the photo next to him tilted his head as he looked at the bone being carried by the bird.
“The bones this monster carries. “Don’t you think there’s someone sitting here?”
The man zoomed in on the area near the bone in the photo.
“Look at this silhouette. “Isn’t this a person?”
Rounded rib bones. Someone was sitting on it. Next to him stood a girl with long, flowing hair.
“well. It looks like a person… “I don’t think so.”
“I’m not sure because it’s cloudy. But can it really be a person? There are people in the bones that the monster carries. “It doesn’t make sense.”
“that’s right. “It must have been something like grass that looked like a person.”
The hunters spoke with indifferent faces.
It was a reaction that came from not knowing that there was actually a person sitting on the bone.
“I thought of bones. “We went to the Bone Tomb about two years ago.”
One of them, a young hunter, spoke to his friend next to him.
“Do you remember the chimera that stopped us from escaping back then? “You and I went to pick him up later.”
“I remember. Why is that happening all of a sudden?”
“No, just… I thought of this when I saw the bone that the bird was taking. “Is that chimera living well?”
It was at most two years ago. Nevertheless, they laughed at the old feeling.
“He’ll be alive. “Maybe they are inside the gate to work like us.”
I didn’t come here to work, but I was right inside the gate.
The person in the photo I saw a little while ago is the chimera from two years ago. The young hunters who didn’t know that laughed with light faces.
* * *
Nam Ki-seok woke up startled by a loud thumping sound.
What on earth does this mean? He ran out into the yard and his mouth fell open.
“what… what… What is this… .”
Ki-seok Nam took a step back when he saw the huge ribs lying in the yard.
The super-large monster, Saenavi, which had returned to its original size, was laying down dinosaur-sized bones one after another.
-Huh?
-Help, hehe!
Every time a bone was put down in the yard, the garden shook.
The Mandragoras, startled by the vibration, came up to the ground. The eyes of the five roots were shaken when they saw the bones lying in the yard.
It seemed to Mandragora, who had poor eyesight, that a strange rib-shaped creature had appeared.
-after… Huh!
Our habitat is threatened. We must face that gigantic creature. We also need to grow.
Now is the time for the Mandragora 4-story Root Tower to emerge.
Following the instructions from the large root, the roots climbed onto each other’s bodies.
4 roots combined. This time, the metal mandragora simply supported the other mandragora below.
-Help, hehe!
If it grew to this size, it would be able to defeat that intruder who appeared in the yard.
The confident Mandragoras looked up at the huge rib bones.
The other side was still bigger, but this side had five. In terms of pages, we have the upper hand. The moment I took my first step with such momentum, my body took off.
“don’t do it. “It’s just a bone.”
-Huh?
“Sometimes I wonder what Mandragoras are thinking about.”
Cheon Do-un separated the root towers one by one and inserted them into the holes in the garden.
-Whoa, whoa!
Is it okay to sleep like this?
“You can just sleep. “Because it’s no big deal.”
-Help, hehe!
“okay. “Hush hush hush.”
The Mandragoras tilted their heads. I don’t know what they’re talking about, but they can rest assured that a huge adult Mandragora has come out.
The Mandragoras were relieved and went into the ground. Nam Ki-seok, who was watching this, approached hesitantly.
“tongue… older brother. “What is all this?”
“material.”
“Materials? “This?”
No matter where you look at it, these are the bones of a monster.
Of course, there are monster bones that are sold at high prices depending on the type, but I did not think that Cheon Do-un collected bones out of greed for money.
“If it’s a material… Are you making something?”
“yes. First, take out the straight bone separately.”
Nam Ki-seok was puzzled, but did as he was told.
“Wow, this is really heavy!”
“There will be four. “Find the rest and take them out.”
Cheon Do-woon looked at the bones that Ki-seok Nam had separately removed.
About 5 meters long. After laying them side by side and adjusting the length, he pulled out his thread from his fingertips.
First, I cut it to equal lengths. The surface was shaved off so that the thickness was the same.
Since it wasn’t cut by machine, it wasn’t perfectly smooth, but it was cut to a level that didn’t bother me.
“Is this enough? Because I’m going to set this up as a pillar. Ki-seok Nam, you go and dig a hole for the pillar.”
“Huh, a hole? where are you?”
“Next to each corner of the house.”
Nam Ki-seok’s eyes wavered. I don’t know what they were making, but I felt like I would get scared if I put monster bones next to my house.
‘For now, let’s do as we are told.’
Nam Ki-seok took out a field shovel from his luggage. With that, he started digging a hole to place the pole.
Kim Nari, who saw this, snooped next to Cheon Do-un.
“mister. “I want to do something too.”
“okay? “Then try carving this pillar.”
“piece?”
“Just like we made the Coconut Family sign in the slum before. “Engrave what you want on this pillar as well.”
Kim Nari’s eyes sparkled at Cheon Do-un’s words.
“My, what I want… ? “Is it okay to engrave anything?”
“okay. “Everything is okay.”
Nari Kim clenched her small fists.
I think this will be fun work. I looked at the pillar on the floor with that face.
“under… do. “I will do it!”
Red lasers shot out from Nari Kim’s eyes. Nari Kim moved his head back and forth and began carving engravings on his bones.
Waiting to see what to engrave is also a pleasure. Cheon Do-un thought that and smiled.
“Have you really started making it?”
How long has it been since you started work? A brother and sister flew in from afar. They laughed when they saw the large rib bone lying in the yard.
“Where on earth did you get this? When it’s finished, invite some people. “I want to see what the reaction will be.”
“Okay, when it’s done.”
“Don’t we have anything to do?”
“Gently grind the surface of the ribs. “I’ll leave the top part to you.”
It involves grinding a 30 meter high rib. It was perfect for a brother and sister who could fly freely.
“Because we’re going to put lights in it. “Poke a few fist-sized holes.”
The spotlight that will be the center will be installed later. What I’m talking about now is the place where glow-in-the-dark stones will be embedded in various parts of the ribs.
“Where should I pierce?”
“Moderately random here and there. The feeling of being sprinkled with stars… okay. You know the glow-in-the-dark star stickers you put on the ceiling of your home? That’s because we’re going to put glow-in-the-dark stones here and there. “Please make room for me.”
The siblings nodded. Moderately random. I felt like I knew what the intention was. It will sparkle and look pretty at night.
‘As long as the subject is not a very large rib.’
Ribs that sparkle like stars. Yubeom smiled with a cheerful face.
“I’d like to see what it’s like.”
The siblings spread their wings and flew up. Every time they flap their wings, mana is carried by the wind and the surface of their bones is chipped away.
“mister. First, I tried carving only one pillar. “I hope you evaluate it.”
After finishing the sculpture, Nari Kim approached with a proud face. Cheon Do-un saw the things Kim Nari had carved on the pillars.
The first thing I saw was a long tree painted on an entire 5-meter pole.
“A coconut tree?”
“Yes. “It’s our family’s signature.”
Nari Kim pointed to the coconut hanging on the tree.
“This number of coconuts is the number of members in our family. “We will add more if anyone comes in later.”
Nari Kim said with a proud face.
While listening to the explanation, Cheon Do-un looked at the center of the pillar. There were two people with wings flying in the sky.
“Are you brother and sister?”
“Yes.”
As I looked further down, I saw five grass roots carved into the base of the tree.
“You want me to make this?”
“Yes.”
There is one person standing next to him.
The person in the picture was wearing a long coat. It was the coat that Cheon Do-un was wearing when he went to the bone tomb.
“Then this will be me.”
“Yes.”
Nari Kim pointed above the head of the Cheondoun sculpture.
“I also drew Dodak here.”
There was a drawing of Dodaki on top of Cheon Do-un’s head. Dodak also appeared to be wearing a coat.
“Why aren’t you here?”
“I’m in the back.”
Nari Kim rolled the pillar. A huge pillar of bone was rolled half a turn by her child’s hand.
A log cabin was engraved on the back. Wet spider webs were also depicted.
There is one girl chanting for national independence in front of him.
“It was here.”
“Yes.”
“The thing at your feet is a fox.”
“Yes.”
“What about Gu and Chimera?”
“There was no space below, so I drew on top.”
Nari Kim pointed to the top of the pillar.
Blue, bird butterflies, and flying squirrels were flying there. They each had a long string in their mouths, and ghouls and chimeras were hanging from the string.
“I’m going on a swing.”
“okay. “It’s a swing.”
For a moment, I thought he was tying up the chimeras and leading them away, but Cheon Do-un did not say that.
The corners of Cheon Do-un’s mouth rose as he examined the piece.
On the pillar, Nari Kim’s experience of gate life was engraved.
A bright, warm and bright image. This was life inside the gate seen through the eyes of a child.
“It’s okay.”
“Really? “Did my sculpture pass?”
“okay. I passed. “It would be about 150 points out of 100.”
“High, high score!”
Nari Kim’s expression brightened.
In fact, the pictures carved on the pillars were not precise. Even though it is a mechanical creature, Nari Kim is not equipped with artistic functions.
Nari Kim’s drawing skills gave off a strange atmosphere. He somehow gave it the feel of an Egyptian mural.
The siblings who were admiring Kim Na-ri’s painting on the ribs made strange faces.
“Something… “It’s the same as hell.”
“Oppa, shush.”
“Look at that. “Blue hangs the chimeras and drags them away.”
“It’s a swing. Shh.”
Yoo Ji-ah tapped Yoo-beom’s side with her elbow.
Thanks to that, he kept his mouth shut, but the complicated look in his eyes did not disappear.
Nari Kim in the hurrah pose carved on the pillar. It looked like a small citizen declaring surrender.
Standing next to the tree, Cheon Doun’s coat looked like a cape.
The dodak standing on top of its head looked like a crown.
Yu-beom looked at the tree drawn next to Cheon Do-un. I also saw open coconuts there.
To the siblings, it looked like the head of something had been cut off and hung on a tree.
‘It looks like a picture of some kind of sacrificial ritual being performed…’ ‘Am I the only one who sees it that way?’
Yubeom tilted his head.
“When the house is finished, I really want to invite some people.”
I wanted to hear other people’s opinions on whether that picture only appears to me that way.
