Hwaaak-.
A salty sea breeze blew. A salty aura drifts along the tip of the nose, followed by the spread of the sail and riding the wind.
Fair wind.
The sight of twenty or more large sailboats sailing in a row was a spectacle that could only be described as spectacular.
The pirates who dominated the area were also pressed by its power and did not dare to approach it.
But do you know
Rather, their lack of access saved their lives. It is also a ship located at the forefront of the fleet.
The one riding on it is the king of beastmen. Because it was Muyaho, the king of beasts.
Naval battles were no problem for her, who could jump hundreds of meters from ship to ship with a single leap.
In addition, there was also the ability to float on the water with just one small float with light and mysterious body movements.
Hwaaak-.
Another wind blew through Muyaho’s gray hair, sitting on the prow.
Each time, the ears protruding upward prick up.
“Hehehehehehe.”
Following a light hum, her tail moved gently along with the ragweed in her mouth.
Seeing that, a middle-aged man in a blue uniform muttered while stroking his mustache.
“The Beast King seems to be in a very good mood today.”
Admiral of the naval fleet and Count Neilson of the kingdom who volunteered to help the beast tribes migrate from Endymion.
“haha. Doesn’t that mean you’re excited?”
One of the elders of the beast tribe who was walking by coincidence responded to his words.
“Most of the beast tribes do, but this is the first time the beast king has left the island. If you are a warrior of the Beast tribe, it is natural for your heart to be pounding at the existence of many strong people on the continent.”
They say they are indeed a warrior race. Neilson shook his head as if he could understand it to some extent even if he didn’t understand it completely, but the elder’s words weren’t over yet.
“Above all, there is that man on the continent too—”
“If it’s that guy…?”
The moment when Neilson, unable to overcome his curiosity, tries to ask a question. One of the sailors raised his voice.
“I see!”
The cry of a sailor holding a telescope from a high place and looking ahead.
“I can see the land!”
As he said, land was visible.
.
.
that time.
Russell and Alan spend their time playing chess in a port town located in the southern part of the kingdom, waiting for a fleet of beastmen to arrive.
squeak squeak-.
Through the open window, I see a white seagull flapping its wings, using the sky and sea as a canvas.
Tuk-tuk-.
Alan sighed briefly as he tapped his fingers on the table.
“Hmm…”
He picked up the black knight on the chessboard for a moment and placed it forward.
widely-.
Along with him, the flow of magical power that started from the knight slowly begins to dominate the chessboard.
Hwaaak-.
Wizard chess, not ordinary chess.
Each position and each piece on the chessboard had its own pattern, so it was the chess of wizards who took control of the board by using them.
Depending on where the object is placed, the flow of magical power is completely different -.
Not only the chess board, but also the sympathy or repulsion between pieces had to be considered, so it was also chess that required not only strategy but also excellent magic skills.
In that sense, Alan’s move just before was a fairly bad move.
but.
chuck-.
Alan’s eyes twitched and moved at Russell’s number that followed.
‘It’s quite a slow move…’
Russell cut Alan’s flow by simply moving one phone.
Not only that, but he even took the initiative of magical power.
Alan’s brow pierced deeply at the number that came in as he stopped breathing. After that, a few more fights followed.
“Whoa…”
Alan set the chess piece he was holding down outside the board.
No matter how much I tried to roll my head, I couldn’t see a gap where I could squeeze in that flow.
“I lost. Your Highness the Grand Duke.”
It was as if his skill as a wizard, which was a little more essential than the difference in his skill as a chess player, decided the game.
Feeling like confirming the gap with him once again, Alan sued slightly.
‘Now I really have no choice but to admit it.’
Even if they were once rivals who instilled a sense of improvement in each other, now Russell is far ahead of him.
Admitting it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. Maybe it’s because I’ve had that thought in the back of my mind for a long time.
To be honest, even as a wizard, he was a man worthy of respect.
Russell muttered with a puzzled expression, whether he knew Alan’s thoughts or not.
“The expression “His Highness the Grand Duke” is a little…”
It wasn’t wrong, but there was no sense of embarrassment to hear such words from Alan.
Alan laughed at Russell’s appearance.
“If the Grand Duke is inconvenient, may I call you His Excellency?”
Unlike himself, who had been a freelancer for several years before returning, he was from a noble family, so he might be more thorough in this area.
Still, ‘Your Excellency’ sounded a little better than ‘Your Highness’, so Russell nodded with a dejected smile.
“I think that would be better.”
The moment you want to arrange the pieces to reorganize the board and play chess again.
Woo woo woo woo-.
A boat horn sounded from outside.
Far away, over the horizon, a fleet of twenty ships was approaching land.
.
.
Shoot ah, smash.
Shoot ah thump—.
A pier where pure white waves create spray and disappear repeatedly.
Woo-woo-.
There, once again, the sound of boat horns resounded loudly.
Afterwards, Russell lightly stepped on the floor, confirming that twenty sailboats were rushing in one after another.
thud-.
Along with that, a wave of intense magic power spreads throughout the area.
Tapping using magical powers. Some martial artists call it Jingak.
“All in line! Let everyone stay in their seats!”
Along with him, the knights and soldiers who had been standing behind Russell moved forward in unison.
straight-.
Rumors and stories about the Beasts abound, but strictly speaking they are a mysterious race that is not familiar with the continent yet.
As many as 20,000 such beastmen migrated.
‘There…’
Where did the rumors spread? The port was already crowded with people flocking to see the Beasts.
It meant that something unexpected could happen.
And it’s Yubimuhwan. The knights and soldiers who came out now were troops provided by the royal family to prevent such a situation.
straight-.
The left and right knights and soldiers lined up in two lines, creating a wall between the crowds.
About ten minutes later, before the ship reached the port, a person jumped up from the bow.
Leaping high into the air like a bird in flight, he leaped toward Russell.
The leaping power that narrows the distance of hundreds of meters with just one step.
Russell laughed bitterly while slowly raising his mana.
If I let him land from that height, the shockwave would spread around.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
As soon as Russell’s magic is ready, bang!
The owner of the flying figure landed on the floor. In an instant, the ground shook lightly, and boisterous laughter poured out from within.
“Kyahahahaha! It’s been a while. cock!”
The color of her skin, as if melted chocolate was layered on her gray hair. Engraved on it are numerous fierce battles and wounds that have crossed the line of death.
The king of beasts, Muyaho.
Russell smiled faintly at her appearance at last.
“You are still there. Muyaho.”
“What am I? not always the same More than that…”
While talking, she suddenly changed her momentum.
“You’ve gotten stronger in the meantime.”
With his three hundred eyes shining sharply, he lightly scanned Russell’s whole body and chanted meaningfully.
“The male smell has gotten stronger.”
Wooddeuk-.
The sound of bones resonated violently along with clenched fists.
The speculation that flowed out wrapped around the area.
oh oh oh-.
“If it’s alright, let’s take a look at your skills right here, shall we?”
At her words, Russell let out a pained sound with a troubled look on his face.
“I want you to look at me a little this time.”
“…?”
“Because this is a patient.”
“patient?”
where are you sick cock? Muyaho, who was about to ask again, then nodded.
“Ah. surely. patient. That’s not wrong.”
He looked at Russell’s situation at once and said.
“Seeing that the inside and outside are not yet completely balanced, it seems that it has not been long since they crossed the realm.”
“It’s embarrassing, but it is.”
“Well then, there is nothing you can do. Let’s postpone the fight to the next pleasure.”
Even though he said that, he couldn’t let go of the lingering feelings, and Russell asked for her.
“More than that, Mr. Muyaho. If you don’t mind, could you reap some of your speculation?”
“Eh?”
Compared to wizards, they are almost as strong as the 8th circle. Because such a strong person scattered speculation at random—.
‘It won’t be easy for ordinary people and soldiers, as well as well-trained knights, to endure.’
In fact, some of the citizens who were watching the neighborhood were gasping for breath.
If you leave it as it is, you’ll soon get foamy and pass out.
“Uh hmm. I can’t help it.”
I wouldn’t know if it was a Kuril full of beasts of the warrior race, but this was Endymion.
Even she knew very well that there was nothing good about causing a nuisance from the point of view of renting land.
Muyaho, who shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his momentum, stared at Russell’s back and asked.
“By the way, who’s the male over there?”
“Ah, this is Sir Alan Page. As the second son of the Earl of Page, he is now serving as my lieutenant.”
“My name is Alan Page.”
“Ugh. A lieutenant…”
Although he is not superhuman, Alan Page is also a strongman in the 6th circle. Maybe he feels a bit of pity for him too?
Considering the level he was at when he first met her, it seemed unlikely.
but what
“hmm.”
Muyaho, scratching his head with a strange expression, tilted his head and murmured.
“Something strange?”
“…What do you mean?”
“I’m sure he seems to be as strong as the four guys when I first met him, but strangely, he doesn’t smell that strong of a male.”
What the hell is the ‘male smell’ in GNOME? A few thoughts passed through Russell’s dumbfounded mind.
The passing thoughts start to fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
‘Come to think of it, there was a story that Fenrir, the first Beast King, was a mixed blood of a fire dragon.’
Not only that, as described in the records, Fenrir was also a wolf beast full of gray fur.
And Muyaho is also a wolf beast with gray hair and tail hair.
What if Muyaho was a prisoner who inherited Fenrir’s blood?
What if that’s why the dragon’s factor resides in her body as well?
Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
In that gaze, Muyaho was—.
“Eh?”
——He just looked at Russell as if he didn’t understand anything.
