Episode 186 Mountain Range of Wyverns (1)
Easily won consecutive victories in team competitions.
If there was only one win in the future, it would have been a win.
With each victory he gained in the Seungmu Festival, the day he would return to the Holy Land was approaching little by little.
The emperor’s disease must have been cured. The ruler of the empire must have returned.
In addition to that, trade with the Lessian Empire, which was a way to solve the financial difficulties of the Holy Kingdom, would also be accomplished.
Well, if you’ve done this much, you can see that your work is almost finished.
All that remains is to relocate the Wyvern’s nest, but this is a bit of a headache.
Wyverns who were annoyed at being touched a little could attack the empire.
In that case, only useless people could die.
That’s why Ray had a lot of headaches about this issue.
It is something that cannot be postponed.
Three days left until the finals.
I plan to arrange a nest in it.
‘Even though it’s a monster, it’s a high-ranking intelligence. If we do well, we might be able to solve it through conversation.’
Ray nodded, thinking about it.
* * *
Without telling anyone and without an escort, Ray climbed the mountain.
If anyone is around, it’s just annoying.
If there are a lot of wyverns in the nest, it might be a bit difficult to protect someone.
Considering the characteristics of a wyvern, it was only when the sun had set in the evening that it moved to the nest.
When I looked up at the sky from a place where there was no light, I saw that the stars were densely packed as if they were about to pour down.
Below it, the scarlet sunset was slightly visible, creating a spectacular view.
Didn’t the wyverns also think of building a nest here while watching this scenery?
‘Land will be expensive. The view is good.’
I put my useless thoughts behind me and moved my feet.
How long did it go up like that?
I felt that the high-temperature wind coming from below and the moisture from the plants increased the humidity.
Along with that, high-density mana was detected.
Perhaps, starting from here, this place could really be called the Wyvern’s nest.
Ray looked at a corner of the bush where he felt a sense of alienation.
‘A magic circle?’
It was said to be a high-ranking intelligent body, so it seems that it knows how to handle magic circles.
Seeing that there is a barrier magic circle from the entrance, it seems to welcome intruders.
He had to break the magic circle to get in.
Gently pouring mana into the magic circle, he calculated an internal arithmetic formula that was perfectly combined.
As I looked back and collapsed one by one, the magic circle soon became an ordinary picture.
“Whoa… It’s complicated.”
It was hot and humid, and my clothes were soggy to the point of irritation, but I didn’t care.
In an instant, he broke the magic circles that the Wyverns had put up in places for a month.
It took thirty minutes just to break the magic circles around it.
In this nest, he had never met a common wyvern before.
He looked around, wringing out his wet clothes once.
Seeing this place on a hill so high that even trees could not be seen, it reminded me of the time when I had a baptism ceremony in Seongguk before.
The time I lived in nature for over a month was now quite a memory.
He sprawled around, sat down, and murmured.
“I’ve broken this much, but it’ll come out soon.”
As expected, it didn’t take long for the wyvern to appear.
Was it because the magic circle they carved was destroyed? A Wyvern approached for reconnaissance.
– Are humans the ones who got rid of the human magic circle?
Ray slowly opened his eyes at the doctor’s voice echoing in his head.
This could be said to be a Wyvern’s unique racial ability, like an elf with eyes of truth.
They can speak the doctor’s message as if it echoes directly in their head, and they do not need language.
This is because you only need to convey what you mean.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t understand the languages of other races.
They call themselves Higher Intelligences because they call themselves self-proclaimed.
It boasts a lot of knowledge to match that, and if you want to, you can have a conversation with an ogre or a kobold.
Ray nodded and said.
“I am the one who broke it. I’m here to talk.”
At his words, the Wyvern spoke as if it were interesting.
– Conversation… what kind of conversation do you want?
Unexpectedly quite calm.
I thought he would attack right away because he broke the barrier, but seeing that he was thinking of having a conversation from the beginning, I feel that he is different from other monsters.
Ray brushed off his clothes and stood up.
“It’s about your nest. Could you please go somewhere other than here?”
Is it because of his mood that the Wyvern’s expression hardened a little at his direct words?
– …Is it about rare? Unfortunately, that’s not something I can decide.
“I want to have a conversation about that part… but how can I not?”
-Even though you didn’t attack directly… You, human, have a criminal record for breaking the magic circle, so you become an intruder. You can’t take such a person to the village.
At the Wyvern’s message, Ray immediately approached the bush.
Then, the formula for the magic circle calculated at the time of the destruction was reproduced.
The mana circuit that had been destroyed by pouring mana into it was connected and the formulas were inscribed.
When there is a part that you do not know what it is, apply what you thought.
When he made up his mind and touched the magic circle, the complicated magic circle was restored very quickly.
No, it’s safe to say that it’s getting better than before.
When he was treating Aira in the elven village, he had seen countless magic circle books that Aira had written and put in his study.
An hour to recover quickly.
The magic circle created in this way boasted a stronger mana density than before.
That’s also true, because the mana used as a medium in the heart of the magic circle was Ray’s mana, not anyone else’s.
Wyvern exclaimed in admiration at the chain action of the colorful magic circles that he felt from his senses.
– It’s a pretty decent magic circle. Seeing that you made it in such a short time, it seems that you have prepared well, right?
Of course you would think so.
What lunatic would think that he could make this all up in an hour?
Wyvern judged that the human in front of him had everything in mind and learned the spells of the magic circle in advance.
Thinking like that, in the case of an excellent mage, it would be possible to create a magic circle of this magnitude in an hour.
Considering my age, I think it’s a great achievement.
Ray felt something wasn’t fitting, but he got along with it.
“that’s right. I’ve been preparing and thinking for a long time. That’s how serious this is.”
He spewed out lies without even spitting in his mouth.
Have you prepared and thought about it?
Putting the two together takes less than a week.
It was only natural that I had come here with the intention of killing half of them if I was wrong in the first place.
However, the wyvern did not have the eyes of truth like the elves.
So I couldn’t determine if his words were false.
– Great. admired I’ve built a new magic circle like this, so I can clear the stigma of being an intruder.
“That is good. Then can we talk?”
– It’s not difficult enough to take him.
Ray asked back at his meaningful message.
“What does that mean?”
– It means literally. You can take it, but you can’t guarantee your life. Unlike the world of humans, we are strong self-respect. Only the strong are respected.
At his words, Ray nodded happily.
the longed-for sea.
If things don’t go as planned, isn’t it okay to force them to surrender?
They don’t know, but Ray defeated their upper body, the Bone Dragon.
I’ve caught a tiger, but would I be afraid of a Chihuahua?
Ray, who had gone through many things in the Holy Land and lost a lot of fear, spoke confidently.
“What else do I say? I will take care of my own life, so please guide me.”
– …hmm. If so, good.
The Wyvern spread its wings while preaching.
As the two huge wings spread wide, a tremendous sense of intimidation flowed out.
Like that, the Wyvern spread its wings alone and flew off somewhere.
wow my god
I was thinking about it, but I thought it would fly away without giving me a ride.
Ray murmured, activating mana in his body to follow him.
“Whoa… the loyalty of the empire has fallen to the ground.”
* * *
After running enough to jump over a mountain range, the Wyvern descended to the ground.
He said it as if he was surprised.
– I thought you were a wizard, but you’re not? It ran pretty well.
Who is this kidding now?
A woman approached Ray as he was thinking about whether he should have grilled wyverns for dinner tonight.
– It’s a human smell. Is the person next to you human?
– It’s human.
– Why did you bring a different race to the village?
– He said he wanted to talk, so he guided me because he thought it was reasonable.
– I understand. let me take you
– Thank you.
Just when he thought that something was going on between the two, the new type of Wyvern, which had been flying around and guiding them until now, gradually began to diminish.
Soon after, his huge body shrank to the size of a person in an instant.
The Wyvern, who had transformed into a handsome young man, sent a voice into Ray’s head.
– Follow me. allowed to enter
“…”
Ray thought as he silently followed his words.
‘I could feel the signs of mana… but something is different from magic.’
Among the High Circles, there is transformation magic called Polymorph.
But something seemed different from that.
Unlike Polymorph, which used a huge amount of mana, in this case, the mana contained in the body of the wyvern only gradually changed.
I realized the need to do more research on the mysterious appearance of mana that I felt anew.
Whether the Wyvern transformed into a human like that would have the same blood and organs as a human, or even catch a cold in a human form.
As I entered the village, I continued to feel the gaze of the woman at the entrance.
I felt that I was being watched somehow.
It’s like looking at a monkey in a zoo.
Of course, since Wyvern considers humans to be lower intelligence, humans might look at them as if they were monkeys.
Don’t we also recognize lower intelligences than ourselves as the same person?
she said
– I can’t feel the mana that humans usually wear. you are weak When you enter the village, if there are compatriots seeking your life, run away to me with all your might.
At her doctor, Ray nodded roughly.
With that, the wyvern who was guarding the entrance could be relieved.
I hate to see the strong bullying the weak.
That’s why she has been against putting rares next to human habitation since ancient times.
However, the newly appointed head of the Wyvern Lord ignored everyone’s opinions and settled down.
So, the only thing she could do now was to protect the humans she could see as much as possible.
However, it was just a pointless worry.
If a wyvern seeking his life appeared, it would be the wyverns, not Ray, who would run away to her.
