Episode 1134. Just found a vicious-looking guy
. Imperial Monarchy.
Principality of Akmolin.
Valdevento.
Around noon, under the hot sun, three knights entered a deep valley.
Count Helio Fabian Larva Omar.
Fabian sighed, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
“ha! Is it okay to have a mountain this high just one day away from the islands?”
“It is said to be one day, but in terms of the number of days, it is not enough to say that it is only because I have been riding for two days. Stop gasping and find Drakona.”
“Yes yes.”
At Elio’s bruise, Fabian calmed down his rough breathing.
‘Let’s catch it quickly and return to the island.’
He missed the cold beer and food of Fermosa Estella so much.
However, I don’t know if it will go well because there are more mountains and valleys than initially expected.
I did it in case, but it’s still the same.
Elio’s party wandered around until sunset, but they couldn’t find Draco.
I wanted to see the sunset over the foot of the mountain in the distance, but it soon became dark.
Still, when Fabian didn’t get ready for bed, the Count hinted at his luck.
“Shouldn’t Baron Fabian prepare for bed soon?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. You just need to find flat land. This should be fine. Viscount? How are you doing here?”
Elio nodded as if he liked Fabian’s words.
And from the space warehouse Mahadam, he took out tents and bedding, as well as tables and chairs.
Seeing that, Count Larva Omar’s mouth fell open.
“omg! It’s a space warehouse! Are you a horse racer in Lagoa?”
Elio replied in a tone that it was not a big deal.
“no. Magic only knows how to do this.”
Elio and Fabian set up the tent in a familiar motion and moved the cot and bedding inside.
As Elio used his body, the Count also hurriedly helped out with one hand.
Tables and chairs were not brought into the tent.
Since the weather was nice, I decided to just use it outside.
Fabian lit a fire stone and hung a pot on it.
Then, water from the valley was poured into the pot and the ingredients for the stew were dropped.
As the stew boiled, Elio brought out the bread he had bought from the islands and set it on the table.
Count Larva Omar, who was eating stew with bread, said with a happy face.
“A meal like this in the middle of a mountain this deep… I never thought of it. I am not envious of the inn of the island as well as the bed.”
To be honest, he had been a little worried about dinner and sleeping since he ate all the bread Fabian had bought in the last village for lunch.
However, everything was solved with Viscount Elio Lagoa’s Subspace Warehouse.
I thought I would skip dinner and sleep on the bare floor, but I never thought I would have such a fantastic meal and cozy bed in the depths!
Fabian smiled and said.
“I was also surprised when I first learned about the Viscount’s Subspace Warehouse. Now I see it a lot, so I guess that’s what it is. By the way, is Valdovento wider than expected? I thought it was the name of a mountain or a canyon, but isn’t it a mountain range of this size?”
“I think so too. If it hadn’t been for Lord Lagoa’s subspace warehouse, I would have had to return to the system.”
“It seems that the secretary was aiming for that and did not give detailed information. Somehow, even though I lied, I wanted to teach you how to do it.”
“How much food is there in the subspace warehouse in Lagoa?”
To Count Larva Omar’s question, Elio tilted his head, thought, and answered.
“The three of us should be able to last a month.”
“That’s enough to catch Draco and go. Did you know in advance that this would happen?”
“no. It’s piled up because I’ve been taking care of it since Hirhera. Even if it’s not, it’s time to organize it once, but it’s good. We should take this opportunity to empty the space warehouse of food.”
Then Fabian asked with a puzzled face.
“Why are you emptying? I heard that food doesn’t spoil in the space warehouse?”
“Did anything good happen at Hirhera’s camp? We have to replace it with the food ingredients of the system. I will eat all but the energy balls.”
“Then you eat the energy balls too, why do you keep them?”
“To give a taste to my family back home. There is a similar dish (byeokgokdan) in my hometown. If you tell me that you ate this in the army, you will enjoy it.”
When the story of his hometown came out, Count Larva Omar hid himself.
“Sir Lagoa’s hometown, you mean the Albanuves Mountains, right?”
“More from there.”
“You want more?”
“Through your map and all the way there.”
Elio pointed to the sky with his finger.
Knowing that the ‘mountain tribe’ had been annihilated, Count Larva Omar asked no further questions.
Fabian tried to burst into laughter at the solemn expression on his face, but he held back it.
The next day, Elio and his party couldn’t even find Draco’s shadow.
It was to the point where Fabian grumbled, “No matter how wide the Valdovento is, this makes no sense.”
The third day since I entered Valdovento.
As if to compensate for their bad luck, Elio and his party were able to meet the Draco group.
An exclamation escaped from Fabian’s mouth.
“Wow! That’s Draco! I’ve only heard of it, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. They say it’s a wingless wyvern, but it looks really scary, doesn’t it?”
“Have you ever seen a wyvern?”
At Elio’s question, Fabian shook his head.
“Not yet. It is said that no one who has seen a wyvern is alive. If I had seen it, I would not have been of this world.”
“It turned out to be really nasty. It wouldn’t be a joke if that kind of intelligence was high.”
“I’ll have to mobilize a mercenary corps to catch it, right?”
“I know.”
Only then did Elio understand the words of the wizard of the Mage Tower, Tabula, who said, ‘Draco, who was given by the mercenaries, died in one day’.
Fabian said with a triumphant face.
“How is it? When you see it in person, your feeling of sorry disappears, doesn’t it?”
“uh.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
Looking at the ferocious-looking Draco, I could understand why it wasn’t a protected species.
Then, Fabian pointed somewhere.
“Wow! They say they are as intelligent as humans, so what they do is similar, right?”
Elio’s gaze followed Fabian’s fingers.
One Draco persistently followed the little Draco and bit it.
It didn’t stop even as blood flowed from little Draco’s body.
“Does Fabian Draco eat his own people too?”
“no. I haven’t heard anything like that.”
Count Larva Omar, who was watching from the side, also shook his head.
“Wouldn’t it be an extreme environment without food? In everyday life, I know that they do not prey on their own people.”
Meanwhile, little Draco fell.
The big Draco didn’t move, biting the little Draco’s neck.
It looked like they were hunting.
However, when the biting Draco died, he left leisurely as if nothing had happened.
In an instant, sparks flew from Elio’s eyes.
“I’m going to take that bastard.”
***
Petropolis Jung-gu.
Taboola Magic Tower.
Early moning.
A man walked towards the entrance of the Taboola Magic Tower.
The people on the street split into left and right, with the man at the center.
“Draco!”
“Are you a tamer?”
“I heard there are only a handful of tamers?”
“But how can you drag that Draco with one leash?”
Leaving behind the people’s whispers, Elio approached the tower.
The guard, who was alternately looking at the young knight and Draco, asked cautiously.
“How did you get here?”
“This is the person I promised to meet with the Marquis Yuliana Leola.”
“omg! Go inside. The guide will guide you.”
The guard promised to meet with the tower owner, so he passed without a word.
Elio went into the tower with Draco.
Like the Abraxas School, Titos, the Disciple (disciple) of the 3rd Circle, who was sitting on the first floor, jumped up from his seat.
“Did you visit the head of the Magic Engineering Research Institute?”
Seeing Draco, he thought that a young knight had come to the Magic Engineering Lab.
“no. I have an appointment with the Marquis Yuliana Leola.”
“Ah yes. What’s your name?”
“I am Viscount Elio Lagoa.”
“Now, please wait a moment.”
Perhaps a little surprised by the word Viscount, Titos hurriedly ran up the tower.
Titos reappeared after a while and spoke politely.
“I will guide you to the tower lord’s office. But before that, can I hand over Draco to the Magic Engineering Lab?”
“Please. I brought it to give it to you anyway.”
“thank you. I will bring the magician from the Magic Engineering Lab.”
Titos climbed back up the tower.
Moments later, Titos appeared with the 5th Circle mage, Count Kaby Kraser.
Count Carby Kraser opened his eyes wide at the sight of Draco, who was fine.
“oh! Viscount Lagoa. I must have brought Draco sooner than I thought. This guy looks really strong. Good job. If you have no other plans, can you keep capturing Draco? 200 silver as a reward for every catch…”
“I have no idea.”
After Elio refused without leaving a chance, he handed the line he was holding to the Count.
Count Carby Kraser seemed to have lingering regrets, but he couldn’t bear to propose any more.
It was because he had done some background investigation on what Viscount Elio Lagoa had been doing in the North.
When Count Carby Kraser disappeared with Draco, Titos escorted Viscount Elio Lagoa to the tower owner’s office.
Following Titos to the 7th floor, Elio was finally able to face the owner of the Tabula Mage Tower, Marquis Yuliana Leola.
Marquis Yuliana Leola said with a polite smile.
“You came earlier than expected. I heard you brought back a healthy Draco. As expected, you are the guardian of Hirhera.”
“I just found a vicious-looking guy.”
“Whoops. The Draco is a wild beast that is not easy to tame. It is not otherwise called a ‘wingless wyvern’.”
“It seemed like that.”
“Will we meet again seven days after we met in Estella, Fermosa?”
“I will.”
“Cham Corvo Magic Troops dispatched to the South. If Duke Cillian Hale were in the Islands, he would have come running here. The viscount told me a lot.”
“I am also planning to go to the South after I finish my work in the Celestial Castle. I don’t know if you’ll be there by then.”
Elio subtly mentioned the sky.
“Ah!” said Marquis Juliana Leola. said after a brief exclamation.
“You asked me to tell you about perforation. After I met the viscount, I looked up the records. There are three books and a poem.”
“Are there three books on poetry?”
“that’s right. Isn’t it surprising that there are three books in one poem?”
“Yes. Poetry difficult?”
Elio listened to his concerns.
How difficult it is to have three books on just one poem!
At times like this, I miss Namgoongyeon even more.
‘If it were my sister, she would have noticed about perforation in the poem…’
“Poetry is not difficult. It was just that the tower owners who were interested in Celestiality recorded their personal thoughts.”
“thank god. I’m a bit far from poetry.”
“Whoops! It’s a short poem, so I memorized it while re-reading it. So don’t worry too much.”
“Can I memorize here too?”
“I will. Shall I recite it now? Or would you like me to write it down on a piece of paper?”
