14. Yongin
In fact, there were things that caught my eye even before I entered the country. A large mountain visible behind the watering country. Pure white snow covered as if seasoning had been sprinkled over it.
The veracity of the rumors about the Yongin was unknown, but Luna’s information about the snowy mountains turned out to be true.
However, I can’t go there without haste, there is too little information. So, first of all, we tried to get information from the beast king by entering the kingdom of beasts, and now we were headed to the village where the dragon people live, guided by the beast king.
“But why did they build a village in front of a snowy mountain?”
It’s nice in the summer, but isn’t it cold to death in the winter?
“They say it’s to be closer to their god than anyone else.”
As far as I remember, I was told that I have intelligence, but I wonder if you enjoy being pampered by such idiots?
‘Is that god or that believer?’
After meeting each other, the words were just right.
“You guys came at a good time.”
“What does it mean?”
“Once a year, the dragon people hold a ritual called the dragon god rite. If you gather in the center of the village and offer food, ice snow dragon will come down and collect it.”
You say you’re hiding, and you respond well to that. Or did he tell you to do it because he needed you?
“In just a few days, it’s time for the Dragon God Ceremony. Then you won’t have to go up to the snow mountain to see the Ice Snow Dragon you’re looking for.”
Whiing—the wind suddenly blew. Even though we hadn’t reached the front of the snowy mountain yet, the ambient temperature dropped and a sharp wind blew.
“Ugh… it’s cold.”
Quickly, Yui trembled and swallowed mucus. Luna and Richie were also wearing only thin clothes, so it was obvious that they would be cold.
So I took the fur coat out of my inventory. I know that Ice and Snow Dragon is in the snow mountain, but I guess you haven’t prepared something like this.
An expensive fur coat even in a past life. In this world where resources are more precious, fur was literally the finest of the finest garments available only to the nobility.
But that’s the story of a person who is incapable of self-sufficiency. I slaughter monsters, procure materials, and make them at a cheap price.
And the cold is useless to me.
“Rice Bull.”
“…really do that?”
“So you only made three furs.”
Leeche lit a fire and attached it to my body.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
My body burns No matter what kind of wind blows, I can’t feel the cold as long as my body is on fire. If the wind blows, the fire will burn more roaring. Theoretically unlimited power.
“hahahahaha! You’re so tough!”
The beast king laughed heartily. He seemed impervious to the cold because he had a lot of hair on his body. At that time, the Beast King spread his finger and pointed somewhere.
“Do you see a village with an outer wall made of wood over there? That’s it.”
The outer wall was made by cutting sharp trees that can be seen in the distance and erecting them in a straight line. A dwarf village that is not big enough to see everything at a glance.
I heard that they made a separate village and lived there, so I thought they were living in a great palace, but surprisingly, they live a simple life.
Two soldiers stood guard at the entrance to the village. Two pointed horns growing on the forehead and a pair of large wings on the back. That proves that they are dragon race.
‘Looking at the outside, it’s normal.’
For once, I followed the beast king who took the lead. As we approached the sentries, they recognized us. Soon after, the mouth of one of the sentries opened, and from the answer that followed, I could understand why people say people shouldn’t judge by appearance.
“You foolish creature, who dares to pretend to be king in front of our god. What happened this time?”
oh shit talk. If you were wearing glasses, you would want to inadvertently lock them.
‘Calm down right hand.’
Really, at this moment, my right hand trembles as if I have an ego. I want to hit you so much that I can’t stand it.
Looking to the side, Luna and Riche also reacted by chewing shit, and Yui also looked like she was looking at an asshole innocently.
“…Then, since I’ve guided you, I’m going to go.”
The beast king, who seemed to want to leave even for a second, ran away as soon as the guidance was over. This means that you don’t avoid shit you’ve only heard about because it’s scary, but because it’s dirty.
After the beast king left, they questioned for a while, and then their eyes met us and spoke again.
“Aren’t they an arrogant race who don’t know the true God and think they are the rulers of the continent? How did you guys come here?”
yes. decision. The dragon race is a race that deserves to disappear from this world. I should have a conversation, but the fact that I have to have a conversation with these guys is something that makes my impression unknowingly.
A look that said to kill not only me but also Luna and Richie right away. But I decided to postpone the immediate killing. Because there is a place to eat once.
I put a steel plate on my face and acted. There’s nothing wrong with fooling these idiots.
“We came from a long distance to see the dragon face of the great Bingseolryong.”
“Gal!!! Do you think our god is your spectacle!!”
The sentry rushed off.
Ill go Are you fucking bastards?
“We’ve heard that it’s time to celebrate the Dragon God soon.”
“What do you mean by that? It must have nothing to do with you.”
“We brought food to offer to Bingseolryong as a small act of sincerity.”
I took out a lot of meat from my inventory that I had put in my emergency rations. The two sentries who saw the meat salivated without even realizing it.
“How is it? Aren’t you running out of food to offer?”
There can’t be much to eat in such severe winter temperatures. Let alone what they eat, they probably don’t have enough food to offer to the dragon god.
The meat I’m showing you now will feel like the sweet rain of a drought.
“Keukkeuheum! Wait for foolish things. I’ll ask the elder and come back.”
Having said that, a sentry entered the village. The remaining sentry was still drooling and looking at the meat.
After putting the meat back in, the sentry looked sad for a moment before returning to his place and standing as if nothing had happened.
“Does Luke-sama have multiple personalities?”
“And why?”
“No, it’s because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
“If you want to fool people, you have to do this level of acting as a basis.”
Do you know how easy it is to fool people?
Swindlers are all actors with great acting skills. Otherwise, how can you fool people?
“You say you can’t do anything if you don’t always do it ‘sincerely’?”
“Ah, yes…”
After waiting for a while, the sentry who had disappeared earlier rushed over.
“Seeing your sincerity, the elder gave you a special opportunity to see the face of the dragon god, so you can go in!”
“thank you.”
I just had a conversation, but I feel like I’m losing my stamina all the time. Somehow we managed to get into the village safely.
“Anyway, it’s better not to think nonsense. To us dragons, you can kill with just as much strength as your fingernails.”
with such a warning.
“Ah… yes…”
real villains.
***
Around the time Luke was still out there.
– Knock!
“Elder!”
A sentry opened the door to a building and entered. He didn’t even knock, wondering what was so urgent.
An old man with wrinkles. His horns were broken from old age, and his wings had long since lost their function.
The old man finished meditating in the recent commotion and slowly rose from his seat. I turned around and shouted at the sentry who had just opened the door and entered.
“How many times do I have to knock and tell him to come in? You incompetent guy!”
“I’m sorry!”
Elder is tired. I always told the sentinels that changed every week. Please knock and come in.
Without such basic courtesy, isn’t the position of elder becoming the king of ants?
‘Eh tsk tsk. This is why they are idiots.’
This is all because you are too smart. If there had been one more genius brain like himself, the continent would have perished. Therefore, it is clear that God has degenerated the intelligence of the dragon race.
The elder thought, but in reality it was Dojjingaetjin.
“So, what are you going to do this time? If you came to boast about catching a butterfly like last time, know that today is your memorial day.”
Once upon a time, some fool came to brag about catching a butterfly while standing guard. The elder, who thought that if he had come for the same reason this time, he would send him to the side of the Dragon God, unexpectedly raised his eyes at the words of the sentry.
“The humans have arrived!”
“···what?”
human? suddenly? Leaving behind the reason why he came, the fact that he came was an impossibility considering the relationship between beastmen and humans.
But I’ve already come this far, but I’m suspicious, what should I do?
“What did the humans come here for?”
“He wants to see the dragon god. I set it up at the entrance first, but what should I do?”
Are you just a tourist? To tell you such trivial information while leaving your place of work.
“What if an intruder comes in while you’re away! Can’t we kick out the humans and go quickly and stand guard!”
“Yes, yes! I see!”
The sentry who closes the door again and leaves. However, after a few seconds the door opens again.
“Oh, come to think of it, Elder!”
“Haa… what else?”
“There was something I forgot, but the humans will give you food to offer to the Dragon God, so I asked you to allow me to see the Dragon God.”
“Why do you say that now!”
“I’m sorry!”
The elder, whose head was pounding with annoyance for a moment, pressed his fingers between his furrowed brows.
Somehow, I brought important information. No, hunting was low this year, so there was not enough food to eat, let alone food to offer to the Dragon God.
In such a situation, if he would personally come to me and give me food, I could at least let him see the face of the great Dragon God.
Besides.
‘Because the more offerings, the better.’
why didn’t i think of this If you offer them as sacrifices at the dragon god festival, the amount of food that goes up will decrease, so you should be able to eat enough.
No matter what, I had to hold on to the dragon god ritual.
“Specially say that it will allow you to see the Dragon God’s face, and let the humans inside.”
“All right!”
