“Hey, that’s a lie. How can I believe that?”
“If you don’t believe it, you don’t have to believe it.”
I said crossing my arms. Sadly, it was her.
“But, do you really need to show such kindness to someone who only radiates hostility like this? What do you think?”
“············”.
“Answer me, second lord. Or let the story end here.”
She looked at me with skeptical eyes.
Then he seemed to be in deep agony for a moment, and finally closed his eyes tightly and said.
“I’m sorry… I’m so emotional.”
The apology made me laugh to myself.
Seeing that he became so low-key in an instant, it seemed that the spirit was really important.
I was curious to see how her expression would change if she said it was a lie, but I only thought about it and put up with it.
“So tell me. Where is that spirit?”
“Will it be just one apology?”
“················”.
Her expression distorted again.
“Then, after all, you are saying that there is something you want from me. You really are….”
“No, I don’t really want anything from you.”
I stopped talking and said.
“It’s just that I don’t feel the need to hand over this kind of information. Think the other way around, what’s the reason for that?”
“············”.
“So, I’m going to keep an eye on it.”
2nd lord’s brain.
Even though it lost a lot of power, even at level 90, it was a huge enough power.
Hanging the bait like this would make it easy to borrow her help when you need it.
I guess my words sounded like it meant ki, and the brain turned into a ferocious face again. Of course, you were right.
But what do you do? A spirit so important to her knows where I am.
“If you deceive me like that and eventually tell me nothing, no, if it was a lie in the first place…”
I stopped talking and said.
“If that’s the case, I swear on that part. I risk my name and honor.”
“············”.
“You wouldn’t even insult me as a deception, 2nd lord?”
Since Calderik’s monarchy is determined only by the appointment of the overlord, there is no such thing as a lineage succession.
Just as the people in Seintea believe that the blood of the royal family is sacred and take their reign for granted, in Calderic, too, the monarch is taken for granted as a supreme being that no one dares to disobey. So this system could be maintained.
Still, some of the monarchs made up a huge family by blood or clan, and so was the Cerionne family of Thunderhu who is in front of me now.
As she came from the oldest family in Calderik, she had a higher self-esteem and sense of authority than anyone else.
In a nutshell, if I, the same monarch, said to hang up my name and honor like this, it would be accepted as a promise to her that could never be broken.
Of course, I had no intention of keeping my promise if things went wrong after sleeping for honor.
“·······Fine. I believe what you say.”
Thunderhu answered with a grin.
“Then let’s end the conversation here.”
I said a little step back.
“Now that I say, it was not my intention to destroy your spirit.
I don’t know if my relationship with her will be restored in the future, but anyway, I wanted to lead her in the best possible direction.
“······· I’m going to stop.”
She turned around with a complex face that seemed to be a mixture of despair and various emotions.
I thought as I looked at the droopy-looking gait.
‘Where can I use him?’
Even though he lost some strength, he was a giant who could be of great help.
Now that you can borrow power when you need it to some extent, you have to think about it a bit.
‘······ah.’
Then a thought popped into my head.
Wyvern.
As they are a very rare sub-dragon species, there are few places on the continent to inhabit, and one of them was the Glide Great Mountains, located far west of Calderik.
It will take a long time to arrive if you travel normally, but what if you travel by Wyvern?
“Hey, second lord.”
I called her up.
She stopped walking and looked back.
“Did you ride a Wyvern to get here?”
“By the way, why?”
“How long does it take to ride the Wyvern from here to the Glide Mountains?”
She looked at me with her eyes and answered, asking what the nonsensical question was.
“It’ll arrive in at least five days. Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
I nodded.
“Let’s go right now.”
“······I beg your pardon?”
She blinked her eyes.
The time remaining until the meeting is about one month.
It was enough to go there before that.
Wyvern (1)
“Wait a minute.”
He said with a face that the brain was absurd.
“Are you telling me to take you to the Glide Mountains with my Wyvern now?”
“okay.”
“Why am I…!”
She tried to protest, but soon shut her mouth again.
It must have been because he remembered what we had just talked about. He said that he would give her information about the spirits if he helped her.
“If you take me to the mountains… are you going to tell me where the spirit is?”
After being silent for a while, she asked in a voice that could not hide her expectations.
I shook my head.
“Of course not. Do you think that this kind of help is worth the value and weight of information?”
There was no intention of taking the opportunity to borrow the power of the thunderbolt with just one round trip of the Wyvern.
Until I used it once in a big way, I was thinking of receiving as many of these little help as possible.
As long as she’s betting information as bait anyway, she won’t be able to refuse even a trivial request.
“…were you going to come out like this? Are you going to keep using me like this until I get some big help someday?”
“············”.
what.
However, it was immediately swept away. Still, the monarch seems to be the monarch.
But noticing something didn’t change anything.
I gave a clever expression to Neuhu, who looked at me with amazing eyes.
“So, are you going to decline?”
As if trying to regain his composure, Neuhu asked, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
“Why do you want to go there out of nowhere?”
“I’m going to catch a wyvern.”
“Why are you asking me to take you?”
“Because it’s fast.”
Originally, I was planning to go to the Glide Mountains after a meeting. Because there was no time left.
But if you could go there, there was no reason not to go right away.
I thought I’d take a good rest until the meeting, but to be honest, after a few days off, the time that had already flowed was wasted.
Is it because everything is a matter of life at stake in the end, or is it because you have been searching for mysteries so hard not too long ago that you have gained inertia?
I’ve never had such a diligent personality.
“Anyway, I’m leaving right now, so get ready, second lord.”
Well, there’s a lot of work to do, but to survive, you have to move around without a break.
This was the end of the leisurely leisure I had been enjoying for the past few days.

“If it’s the Glide Mountains…?”
“This is where the Wyverns live.”
During the conversation with Thunderhu, Ashel, who was constantly watching the Reef brothers and sisters upstairs, looked a little embarrassed.
It was because of my words that I was suddenly heading to the Wyverns’ habitat.
“Wow…”
Rigon, who was sitting still as if meditating on one side, was looking at him with his eyes twinkling.
Looking at the reaction, it seems that the interest in the word Wyvern has been focused. But of course I couldn’t take it.
I ordered the butler to quickly prepare and go outside.
A knight wearing a thunderbolt and a piece of blue armor could be seen in the vacant lot located inside the castle.
And the two giant creatures standing next to each other, the Wyvern.
I looked at the scene and tilted my head.
‘Did the escort come with you?’
【Lv. 83]
The level was also a whopping 2 levels higher than that of Ashel. It looks like he rides to the Wyvern there.
The Thunderhu family was such a huge family, so there was nothing strange about it…
‘By the way, it’s a lot bigger than I thought.’
【Lv. 67]
【Lv. 62]
Looking closer, the size of the Wyvern felt much larger. And the levels were also considerable.
Contrary to her, the higher-level Thunder Wyvern was red, and the escort’s Wyvern was green.
Thunderhuhu looked at me and frowned from afar.
grr.
Then her Wyvern also showed hostility to me and made a low cry.
Did he read his master’s feelings and even recognize me as an enemy? Smart.
Thunderhu patted the Wyvern’s under the neck, calmed him down, and opened his mouth.
“I don’t know why I have to be doing this.”
While I was waiting, thinking about it, my voice was ferocious, perhaps even more angry.
He was using the monarch like a delivery man, so it was okay.
I told her.
“You can ride two people at a time.”
Originally, I didn’t intend to take it to Ashel, but it seemed like it wouldn’t matter since there were only two Wyverns.
However, the expression on the back of the brain hardened.
“·············Two people each? Are you saying that you are going to carry people on my Wyvern as well?”
“Can’t you see?”
I pointed to Ashel, who had followed me to see me off.
Thunderhu looked at Ashel and frowned.
Then the escort of the thunderstorm came forward and bowed his head to me.
“Seven Lords, I will serve both of you.”
I looked at her wyvern.
It’s big enough for three people to ride together, but… isn’t it better to ride two at a time?
When I looked back at the brain, she was completely disgusted with it, and then there was a sign of relief.
Do you hate riding someone else on your Wyvern, or do you just hate riding with other people?
If it was her, I thought that her class would be inferior, so it was enough.
“Do you have a three-seater saddle in the castle? If so, I’d like some please.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
The butler, who was standing next to the escort’s question, tried to move.
I dried him like that.
“Okay. Just go by myself.”
There was no need to accompany Ashel.
I told Ashel.
“I’ll be back within a fortnight, so in the meantime, take good care of your siblings and wait.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The escort’s saddle was originally for two people, so there was no need to change the saddle.
He seemed to be riding a two-seater saddle in case he had to carry a guest like now.
“Shh, that’s nice.”
As I approached the Wyvern, who showed a distasteful expression, the bodyguard patted his neck and calmed him down.
This was the reason why it was impossible to raise a Wyvern like a livestock.
It is very strong and ferocious, so it is very difficult to capture it, but the Wyvern will never follow anyone who does not recognize it as his master under any circumstances.
Until now, many people heard to tame the Wyvern, but the reason for failure from the beginning was the same.
Because they captured and imprisoned them, they either did not eat food until they starved to death, or they simply killed themselves by harming themselves.
‘So it is impossible to rent another wyvern other than to ride with the owner.’
The escort, who calmed the Wyvern, jumped on the man’s back first.
I paused for a moment at the sight, then used space leap to get back up.
When I suddenly appeared behind her, she flinched and put her hand on the hilt of the sword, then lowered her hand again in amazement.
“······sorry!”
