Episode 123
Episode 51. Everything Comes Back (6)
Tulka was carrying Yuma and Natalie along with Takil Eun Hugo and his exclusive weapon ‘Kaiten’ as well as Zishka.
Even after running for an hour, the two ancient wolves continued to split the wind without a sign of exhaustion. On the contrary, I even increased the speed a little more that my body was starting to loosen up.
‘It is a wonderful creature. Endurance, muscle strength, sense…. There is nothing missing.’
Yuma was still exclaiming inwardly as his excitement did not subside. Ancient wolves exhibited little loss of speed, even when rapidly changing course or turning.
The ancient wolf covered the plains in just three hours, which would have taken an entire day to pass by with a wagon. Even that wasn’t top speed.
Who in the world could believe that such a huge beast could run so fast? Even though the Ancient Wolf moved lightly like a feather, if an angularly protruding stone obstructed its path, it mercilessly crushed it.
Tulka and Takil seemed like they were born to run and rule the world.
When we saw the riverside, the party decided to take a break for a while.
They ran so fast that all but Hugo had windblown hair standing in front of them. The three of them combed their hair with their hands and shared their impressions of the new experience.
“It’s amazing. He is the most mysterious and powerful animal I have ever seen. It is the first time I have moved at such a high speed.”
“When I was young, I once rode a desert ostrich in the desert area of Haseo. I thought the desert ostrich was the fastest… but the world is wide.”
Yuma’s impression was short-lived.
“You are happy.”
I had never even imagined riding an ancient wolf. Imagination is only possible with the minimum amount of materials. In Yuma’s perception, the ancient wolf was an unknown beast.
There was a desire to ride something just once before returning. It was not an ordinary animal like a horse or camel.
it was a dragon After the end of the Dragon Horse War, five dragon riders were born in the empire.
Old Yuma was a person who liked to sit in the yard behind the eunuch room and bask in the sun. If you look up at the sky with your aging eyes, you are often lucky enough to see dragon riders in flight.
It was not clearly visible, but it was a more attractive flight because of the blurry vision. Whenever the long shadows of dragons accidentally touched my face, I felt refreshed for no reason.
The eunuch Yuma was a human who was accustomed to admitting his position one more time rather than focusing on the fleeting desire to ride a dragon.
Tulka plunged his snout into the river and quenched his thirst. An ancient wolf that does not take anyone as its master.
I liked that too. That beautiful wolf somehow didn’t seem to leave Hugo even when he returned to Matan.
Yuma smiled and stroked Tulka’s head. Now it was time to put the excitement of the new family aside and talk to Hugo.
“How do you intend to proceed with negotiations with His Majesty?”
Yuma approached Hugo and asked.
“I spread my will, and the Imperial Empress speaks out as well.”
So, it meant that I would look at the reaction of the empress after threatening to find out if I killed my wife.
Even before the regression, Hugo was like that. It was when I came to negotiate the opening of trade. Hugo made the knights and ministers cower by revealing his tremendous energy without filtering.
It was also the moment when Marlon Zach, the only swordsman who attacked Hugo, was defeated.
It was fortunate that Duran or Hayes were not there. Not to mention Duran, Hayes is a bastard in the world, but he was essentially a warrior. It must have been four months.
‘The problem is… this time, Master will definitely stick right next to His Majesty. Maybe Heize that bastard too. It wouldn’t be a big deal if I just had time to tell Master to be careful.’
It was embarrassing.
If Hugo behaved rudely to the empress, Duran was a human who could pull out a starbuster enough and call for a life-and-death decision right away. Anger control disorder explodes.
Then what about Hugo? It was the same. ‘Oh, I have committed a diplomatic rudeness. I apologize.’ There was no way he would give the same soft answer and move on smoothly.
“Hugo. You can’t do that. Mama Mama will kill you.”
“There is no human in the world who can kill me.”
“Well, it might be possible with Lord Duran. Can’t you just be a little flexible? It’s a matter of my life. Let’s brag about our strength later. Because everyone in the world knows that you are strong.”
okay! There was a godmother Zishka!
Looking back at Hugo’s actions so far, he was clearly a wife fool.
If it was Zishka’s will, wouldn’t it go out a little softer?
“In carrying out my will, I never plot or calculate anything.”
It was an issue that even Hugo could not concede. He was a man who had carried out his will based on formidable strength all his life.
“Hmm. know what to do If you want to see me die.”
“You will not die.
never.”
“Anyway, I hope you don’t have to see my master and Hugo fight. You may not know about these two people who are made up of muscles and will to the very depths of their brains, but that is a huge loss to all of humanity.”
Hugo didn’t answer. Probably Duran, ‘What! He said he could kill me? I am the strongest in the world, not him!’
The best picture was this one.
As soon as Hugo arrives, Duran comes out to meet him. He smiled broadly as if he were treating a close friend he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Haha black wolf! How are you?
You still look nasty!
Oh knight king. Long time no see. I have come to speak with the Empress.
All right, come with me to His Majesty!
There was no problem in going to the imperial castle as long as the best of them did a role play.
When the knights see Hugo walking with Duran, they will get out of the way on their own, and no one will argue with Hugo’s identity.
After that, negotiations would be an obstacle, but it could be solved somehow.
There was Barris’ plan and the eunuch Forgnon’s statement. It was only necessary for the empress to look into the situation of the first daughter whom she hated once.
Then there was no possibility that the road would open. By that time, you will be able to receive support from Hella Roje.
When things started to go wrong, Yuma just had to sell his name well.
Lord Duran made it! Hella has commanded! I just did it! Called.
“Hugo. When Matan gets married, doesn’t he greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law? Wouldn’t it be better to approach it that way?”
“That’s the custom of Matan, not mine.”
…For a moment, I felt bad for drawing such a dream-like scene. You have to hope for what you want.
“…I can’t bend to the empress of the empire, but I will at least say thank you to my wife’s mother.”
Anyway, the seeds who were the strongest from day one had a strangely twisted corner.
‘Looking at it, Master or Hugo seemed cute… and
in the eyes of a 60-year-old eunuch, they seemed that way.
Pooh! Yuma dipped his face in the river water once.
‘Anyway, family doesn’t mean much on this day. How many variables have there been so far? Better to just go cool. Anyway, the Zach family and the only princess, Hella, are on my side anyway.’
The greatest noble family of the empire and the next Empress were behind Yuma.
Rude and complex calculations were necessary only when he was a eunuch, but they were not suitable for him now.
Yuma was already in a position comparable to that of the Empire’s most secretive powerhouse.
Even the empress could never punish Yuma carelessly. This was already proven in the public trial.
Moreover, the credit for punishing the rebels in Joachim was entirely up to Yuma. By now, the Asuka and Zach families should have secured Yoheim’s evidence.
At the same time as Yuma killed Secron, he also discovered the threat of a new type of demon. Even when Kriesha Ainu’s name came up, the empress treated Yuma with caution.
How much more so if you drank Amanjo? There was nothing to gain from the empress even if she tried to argue with Yuma. Even if I had to separate the ball and the ball, the ball was overwhelming.
He felt that he had to leave the negotiations between the Empress and Hugo to fate and demand the release of Zecca himself.
A dungeon is a dungeon, no matter how luxurious it is decorated. I had already put an innocent colleague there for nearly two months.
Now I just had to take it out.
The wind was cool and the new animal friends were the best. It was enough to just run. At the speed of the ancient wolves, it seemed that they could reach the empire within two days.
The party climbed on top of the Ancient Wolf again. Tulka and Tahqil shot out with a long, high howl.
It was agreed to take a break as short as possible and run to the empire. Ancient wolves moved by using mountain roads and shortcuts that wagons could not go. Thanks to this, there was no encounter with tourists or ordinary people.
Often, Tulka and Takil hunted wild animals to fill their stomachs. For dessert, they ate trees one by one.
It didn’t go well with wolves and trees, but it was quite impressive to see them eating logs like cookies.
While the ancient wolves were out hunting, the party disbanded two bandit groups. He didn’t know why there were so many savages who abandoned humanity and righteousness in the world. Guys with chilli peppers running far away.
It really took less than three days to get to Heil the capital.
The capital gate was visible in the distance.
There were still more soldiers deployed than usual, probably because the borders of the gateway were reinforced.
“You have arrived. Is this your first time in the capital of the empire?”
“Yes.”
When Zishka looked at the empire again, something jumped up in his chest.
Seeing him tremble with a red face made me feel sorry for him.
“Don’t be afraid, Zishka. They do not die.”
“It’s not because I’m afraid I’ll die, you idiot.”
“That’s right, Hugo. You don’t understand a woman’s heart too much.”
Yuma took out a mask he had prepared in advance and threw it to Zishka.
It was a triangular white mask.
“Cover your face, godmother. Now enter the gateway.”
Covering it didn’t mean much.
There was no rose society branch in Matan, so he couldn’t disguise himself.
“Haha, would you cover the sky with your palms? let’s just go I don’t even want to hide anymore.”
It was luck that Yuma got the Ancient Wolf on his way back.
Originally, it took a week by wagon. From the Worg headquarters to the capital of the Empire. It arrived after two days of running.
The empress was to declare a national emergency the very next day. A day later could have made the situation a hundredfold more complicated.
‘Hmm, what should I do with that gateway… I can’t terrorize it again, and it’s not very nice to have Hugo radiate energy to neutralize it.’
It was then.
“Yuma!”
Someone was riding a horse from the other side shouting Yuma’s name. When I turned around, it wasn’t just one person. It was a group of knights dressed in armor.
