Episode 187 Mountains of Wyvern (2)
Wyvern’s village was a bit like an elf village.
The only difference is that there are only a few trees around.
It seems that it is because the altitude is so high.
It’s to the extent that there are clouds like fog floating around.
As soon as Ray entered the village, he received quite a lot of attention.
It’s probably because of the human smell that emanates from him.
A middle-aged man approached the young man who was guiding him.
Then, he sent a message, and Ray also heard it.
– You’re human. What’s up? A different race is coming to the village.
– He’s a funny man.
– Whoa. It’s just so tempting.
His mouth didn’t move, he spoke, and he laughed haha in that state, and he felt cool.
The young man walked past the middle-aged man to one end of the village.
Ray also followed him with his gaze, and at the end of it came a small house.
Well, since it was a village, it was understandable, but it was quite surprising when the wyvern built a house to live in.
If you think about it, even oaks build villages and huts, but there is no way that Wyvern, a high-ranking intellectual, will not make a house.
It must have already created a good environment for living in human form.
When I followed the young man into the house, there was only a table, chairs, and an old painting hanging there.
Admiration came out at the desolate scenery inside the house, which could be empty if it were empty.
A young man who was roughly seated on a chair looked at Ray and offered a seat.
– Now let’s talk. What are you thinking so seriously about when you set foot on our land?
Ray responded to his words.
“As I said at the beginning, I’m talking about whether it’s okay to move your rare to another place.”
– Didn’t I tell you about him? That’s not something I can decide on my own.
“Then take me to the wyvern who has the authority to make that decision.”
– Hmm… good. If you fulfill one condition, I will guide you the way you want.
“condition?”
Ray tilted his head in puzzlement.
Then the Wyvern raised the corner of his mouth and raised his finger.
– Strong self-esteem. In the Wyvern world, the strong decide everything. If you push me, I’ll let the Lord take you.
It can’t be a great sense of pride.
The original wyvern race itself is like this.
The desire to compete with someone must have formed a society centered on the strong.
He recited the starter phrase.
“Hold.”
The surrounding mana began to move in response to Ray’s call.
As the huge mana moved all at once, there was no way the Wyvern wouldn’t notice.
I couldn’t stop one. Even knowing it, he was beaten.
He expressed surprise at the sudden limited movement of his body.
– Holdra… Is it a higher level of magic than me?
“That’s how it is. Proof that you are strong is possible with this, right?”
– …surely. Kim loses steam, but proof is enough.
“Cancel.”
The mana that had been gathering with the horse dispersed in an instant.
Adjustment must also have reached maturity.
– It was unprecedented for a human to subdue a wyvern. Wouldn’t it be better to be a little more happy?
The things I’ve been through are too big to be happy with a little hardened lizard.
Ray shook his head and spat out a word.
“hurry.”
– i get it.
Is it so convenient to be strong self-esteem? It’s comfortable as if you’re doing a zeke.
As he was about to leave the house, he looked back for a moment and asked.
– …your name?
“Ray.”
– Ray… I’ll remember. let me try again My true name is Karna.
Karna.
In the language of this place, it means life.
It couldn’t have been a name I really liked.
“I’ll remember that too, Karna.”
– Expect later.

Lord, the highest position to rule the Wyverns.
As the leader of wyverns, only the strong are allowed, and only the strongest wyvern can occupy that position.
If there was even a slight gap or if he lost the duel, he had to withdraw from the spot at any time.
In other words, the Wyvern’s rod is a different concept from other races.
It may be somewhat similar in terms of being the boss, but it is quite bizarre that it can be easily replaced in a confrontation with a new strong person.
Being the head of a race is beneficial in a sense, but in another sense it is a being that causes confusion.
What if, for example, the next Lord went against what the previous Lord had done?
Like not liking the location of the town or not liking the current policy.
If it changes so easily, the clan is bound to be confused.
It is only supported by one law called strong self-respect.
Compassionate spirit, which can be said to be the characteristic of Wyverns.
The world of strong self-respect made up of it becomes a good cause to calm the confusion that comes every time the load changes and dismiss the unreasonable things.
As the strongest within the clan, it has tremendous authority that is incomparable to other races.
Although the problem is that it can turn into a single duel.
Ray, who came to visit Wyvern Lord’s house, was quite surprised.
Unlike Aira’s house, which could be called the Lord of the Elves, the house of a Wyvern Lord was very ordinary.
A fence made of wood on a house built of wood.
The window sill is so-so, and the yard has sparsely grown grass.
Perhaps knowing his intentions, Karna sent a message.
– It’s just your taste.
“…It’s a taste…”
Well, it’s a taste, so let’s move on.
Before going inside, Krana paused in front of the door.
Perhaps he is sending a message.
After waiting a little longer, the door opened and a girl with messy hair walked out.
It was evident from the amount of yawning that he was asleep because it was evening time.
Have you heard that good children go to bed early and wake up early? The Wyvern Road in front of him was just like that.
With a body similar to Aira, she spat out the words.
“what’s the matter?”
At her one word, Krana lowered her head.
– This human wanted to meet Rod and brought him.
At that, the Wyvern Lord glanced at Ray.
Then, he spits out meaningful words.
“…The Mana Road is quite unusual, isn’t it?”
Ray was taken aback by her sharp words.
‘Did you notice my mana load?’
The Wyvern Lord in front of him recognized his peculiarity that no one had noticed before.
What that means is by no means small.
It was that she was superior to him or similar to him.
Ray was a little nervous.
It doesn’t look like it will be easy.
Perhaps, Aira, the guardian of the high elves, was more than she.
The Wyvern Lord opened the door without thinking.
“Well, let’s come in and talk about the rest.”
– thank you.
“You are done. go back.”
– …All right.
For some reason, I thought that Krana had become depressed.
He bowed his head and bowed, and when he went back the way he had come, Wyvern Lord pointed to the inside of his house.
“What are you doing? come in.”
Ray thought as he went inside at her words.
‘Is it heterogeneous?’
He only speaks by moving his mouth, but his appearance is strangely grotesque.
Was it because the Wyverns were talking without moving their mouths?
Recognizing what Ray was thinking, she laughed bashfully.
“It hurts my head to shoot voices in my head. I personally like to say this. That’s why I don’t know how many languages humans use.”
It is a very distinctive wyvern.
Ray glanced around.
The inside of the house was no different from the outside.
It’s not ordinary, it’s modest.
I can’t find the decorations even after washing my eyes, and the only thing in the house is only a single bed.
She said as she sat on the bed casually.
“Sit somewhere comfortable.”
“…”
Let alone a comfortable place, you need a place to sit.
The only piece of furniture is a bed, so where should I sit to spread rumors that I am sitting well?
Ray sat roughly on the other side of the bed where she sat.
“So what are you talking about?”
The Wyvern Lord covered his mouth again and yawned.
“I want you to move the rare.”
Her expression, which had been yawning at his direct words, became sharp in an instant.
“The reason is?”
“It honestly doesn’t matter if you’re at the top of the empire, but you guys are causing damage to private houses. Like making a surprise attack or using magic.”
At Ray’s words, Rod thought for a moment and then nodded.
“understood. But isn’t that the same for humans? Don’t they drive out others to expand the territory they have set for themselves?”
“…umm.”
It’s definitely true, so I can’t refute something.
In fact, when the orcs built a colony, the local lord summoned troops to drive out the monsters.
To put it bluntly, if the continent isn’t even human, it wouldn’t look nice to them to act like that.
she continued.
“The strong give justice. That’s the rule not just for our clan, but within this world. Humans defended the territory with their strength and drove out the monsters. However, I overlooked the fact that when someone stronger than him appeared, he had to suffer the same way.”
“Does that mean, if you want to, drive it out by force?”
“That’s how it is.”
Contrary to what I said, the answer is easy.
But there was nothing more surprising.
Didn’t you think so before you came anyway?
Ray slowly raised mana.
The mana around him began to flock to him in sympathy.
Accordingly, she also smiles pleasantly and fluidizes mana.
Unlike the two sitting comfortably on the bed, the surroundings vibrated like crazy.
Ray spat out.
“Let me ask you one thing. How did you know that my mana load was unusual?”
“It’s a simple question. My countrymen brought you here. That must mean that it has already been pushed out of power by the clan’s rule. So I checked, but unfortunately there is no mana? Since there is no mana inside the body, we have no choice but to think about the peculiarity of the mana rod, right?”
In a nutshell, it means that we simply made predictions, not with the ability we had.
Ray smiled at him.
“what. I was just nervous.”
I was nervous inside because I thought I was fighting an Aira-class existence.
Of course, there is still tension, but it wasn’t like the first time.
Ray, who had been raising mana infinitely, said with tangible mana that it was enough to darken the surroundings.
“Strong self-esteem? It’s good.”
