Taming The Villainesses chapter 291

(EP.291)Depression #4

291 – Fairy Melancholy #4

Shrek.

A cool palm touched my forehead. The cool touch at the moment when my head was hot for a while is quite pleasant.

At the same time, I felt a longing for somewhere.

Where have I been feeling this way?

very childhood.

It was a time when I had a very serious fever.

-You have a lot of leftovers.

When my whole body was boiling so that my bones throbbed. When I had a great fever in my head, everything in front of me was shaking like a blurry ghost.

It was scary because old furniture, clothes hanging on hangers, or patterns on the ceiling looked like human heads or faces. I used to have nightmares too.

So it seems that I was murmuring without sleeping even though it was late.

For me, the cool hands gently caress my hot forehead, cheeks and neck and sings… .

“Sir Tae-oh.”

someone calls me When I looked up, Mirna was touching my forehead with her cool palm.

“Miss Mirna.”

“Sir Tae-oh, your complexion is not good. Didn’t something bad happen in the forest yesterday? Otherwise, the cold from the last time I fell into the river didn’t heal… .”

“I don’t know either.

“There doesn’t seem to be any fever.”

“Is that so?”

It was only then that I was able to get out of my pensive thoughts and look around properly. high altitude. The dizzying scenery seen under the railing.

I was standing on top of the large wall Clarisse, looking down at the world. At some point, a headache arose in my head, and I was confused for a while, but now it’s pretty good.

“Since arriving at the northern estate, Sir Tae-oh seems to be in a bit of a bad mood. Same thing in the forest. It’s the same thing now.”

Mirna looked at me with clear eyes. My face reflected in those eyes doesn’t look as good as Mirna said. earth color. My face is muddy.

So I guess he was worried about me.

“I just had a little headache.”

headache.

As I described, I felt a headache. A headache, like being stabbed in the head with a sharp needle or awl.

It’s fine now, but just a few minutes ago, my head was ringing every tens of seconds, and I couldn’t get my mind off it.

Also, a strange crying sound spread in my head, but I couldn’t tell if it was a real cry or a tinnitus, so I just kept my mouth shut.

Then Mirna said.

“I heard that the higher the altitude, the less oxygen there is. Tae-oh, who has a sensitive sense, seems to have had a lot of problems. Would you like to go down in the gondola?”

Oxygen.

Is it a symptom of lack of oxygen?

Mirna’s words seemed to make sense. The brain is showing hallucinations.

If it’s not a lack of oxygen, maybe it’s because he’s at a high altitude and has a phobia of heights. Under the railing, everything is so dark that it looks like an ant.

“It’s a little bit better now.”

I reassured Mirna once.

“Ugh.”

But Mirna looked at me, who said I was okay, with an anxious look. I too would be worried if Mirnana Elgar complained of pain, so I can understand.

“Is it because I just climbed up high? It brings back memories of the past.”

He said one more word to reassure Mirna.

Of course it wasn’t a lie.

Ever since I arrived in this northern city of Sandora, what I would call old memories was flashing back in my head.

Is it because this ‘body’ was born in the North? The problem is that those memories were mixed with what I would call ‘Lee Seong-eum’s memories’.

Memories of the past that were buried deep in the warehouse of the heart due to busy days or life-threatening days. For example, the memory of suffering a lot of fever.

Maybe this ‘body’ also suffered from a big fever when he was young. That’s why my memory and my body’s memory may be getting mixed up.

is it real

He was a guy with similarities to me.

“King Tae-oh, have you been thinking again?”

“Ah, that’s it.”

“Well, it looks like a good place to organize your thoughts. There are not many opportunities in life to look down at the world from such a high place. Everything in the world looks like an ant.”

slurp.

Mirna looked at the world through the wall. Then I turned around and started looking down at the world looking south.

“That would be our world. Looking at it this way, many things seem small. The problems we are suffering from and the worries we have will seem small. Like an ant problem.”

“Well, maybe not.”

“What do you mean when you think like that? . It made me feel like a fool to think seriously about this and that. The world is so wide. I live with as much trouble as my head.”

He seemed to know what Mirna was talking about.

Many of the things Mirna is suffering from are being sorted out one by one as she looks at this wide and high sight.

“It’s fine, Mirna.”

“So, Kyung-Tae-.”

It was when Mirna looked at me and opened her lips.

“Ah-! You will see it over there… ! over there, over there… ! you will see there… ! all! hurry!”

All of us were drawn to the fuss of Imp Tartar.

It was when I, too, bowed my head and looked down at the walls of the fortress, hoping for some reason that Tartar was foaming at the mouth like a dog that had been deprived of treats.

―Groorrrr.

Tickle, cackle.

I saw something that looked like a praying mantis coming up with its sharp hooks pounding into the wall.

I don’t know what it was, but the black and red body was very creepy. Redney, the lord of Sandora, who looked at him, smiled huh-huh-huh.

“everyone. You’re lucky. On a clear day, you can see the demons climbing to the wall like this.”

It was Marmar who asked him in surprise.

“Is the monster beyond the barrier climbing the wall to get over it? ?”

“Right. Occasionally, several or dozens of them cling to each other and climb the wall. Of course, no one comes up to this top.”

Count Redney, who explained that, picked up a stone that was rolling nearby.

Then he puts it in Marmar’s hand. Without explaining what it meant, we could all quickly understand it.

It sounds like you want to match it with a stone.

However, the monsters beyond the wall are the shadow army of Demon King Solomon. Marmar was an imp, and the imps were Solomon’s men.

In other words, it was at a time when I thought that it was a bit unusual for Marmar, Solomon’s subordinate, to throw stones at the monsters who were also Solomon’s subordinates.

“It is to taste the stones of Marmar… !”

Marmar did not hesitate and dropped the stone towards the bottom of the stone wall. It fell freely and hit the monster’s head, making a clicking sound everywhere.

━ Uhhhh!

In the end, the monster fell off the wall with a flurry and disappeared even further down. At the same time, the Imps raised their hands and spoke loudly.

“Ah! The best comrade Marmar hit a stone! Indeed, it is the mysterious skill of stoning like our best comrades!”

“Garrr, Ghar!”

The imps south of the wall and the monsters north of the wall don’t seem to get along well.

When asked why, Marmar explained.

“They are all renegade renegade! They’ve lost their will and turned into real monsters! That is not our intention.”

Say yes.

* * *

The tour of the wall continued after that.

We watched the giant catapults and ballistas or devices that drip boiling oil installed on the wall.

Because there are many monsters climbing the fortress wall, they are equipped with various weapons.

“This is Sandora Fortress, which is at the highest altitude, so there is little intrusion of monsters. In the case of Belves and Asterad Citadel in the west and east, the wall was only tens of meters high. Demons often invade.”

In such a place, even at this moment, monsters, adventurers, and soldiers must be fighting a blood battle. I can’t even dream of a field trip.

In the meantime, what caught my attention the most was the giant ballista fixed toward the sky rather than the floor.

Although the arrow is thicker and thicker than my body, the iron spear. It was quite rusty as if it had not been used for a long time.

What is this?

Curious, I asked Countess Redney.

“Why is this fixed toward the sky and not under the wall?”

“Because it is necessary. It’s the same reason the Sandora Walls are built at the highest elevation here. Sir Tae-oh, why do you think it was necessary?”

Suddenly a quiz?

high barriers.

Ballista soaring into the sky.

I could think of those conditions.

—The humiliation of being trapped in a cage.

“It’s also because of the giant. Is it because the giant giants are aiming for the wall?”

“… … !”

At my question for the correct answer, the chic Countess Redney’s expression appeared very wide. Soon she began to laugh like a kindergarten teacher who had heard a funny story from a child.

“A giant giant? Sir Tae Oh is very imaginative. But unfortunately that’s not the answer. The answer is dragons. More ferocious monstrous reptiles than dragons. Wyvern.”

Wyvern.

Mirna reacted to the strange name before me.

“Is the Wyvern alive? The Wyverns of the Eastern High Mountains cannot survive in the northern environment, right?”

“These are the ones that the demon king Solomon has forged. A total of 13 Wyverns. the riders who call it. How much harm they did to Sandora, called the Death Horsemen… .”

A wild drake flying in the sky.

If such a thing exists, the safety of people will be in danger no matter how high the barrier is. However, Redney ended the story with a welcome remark.

“But the last Wyvern was shot down 20 years ago. With this ballista. The body fell on the roof of Sandora’s headquarters. It’s in the museum, so let’s go take a look.”

With that feeling, it was time to finish preparing to descend from this wall.

━━━─!!!

A sharp sound echoed loudly above our heads. It is a sharp and heavy noise, like the sound made when two giant icebreakers collide with each other.

The first to react was Stella.

“This sound, it’s a Wyvern… .”

Stella Bellhawk took out the folding bow that was worn on her back and opened it wide. After she loaded her arrows, she began to aim in all directions.

“Where are you, where are you… ?”

The serious appearance made us nervous as well. In the case of Imps, they trembled with their heads on the floor and their tails hidden between their legs.

“Hey… ! I, that marmar is tasteless… !”

It could be seen that Marmar was mentally concentrated enough to use a bizarre vocabulary like a frightened nymph. But that’s normal.

If it’s a wyvern, it’s a flying dragon. Dragons are predators that reign as the apex of the ecosystem.

Just as animals that hear the cry of a lion or a tiger instinctively get scared, the cry of a drake tends to terrify small creatures.

However, Countess Redney’s attitude was calm.

“Miss Bellhawk, you are making a lot of fuss. There are no more Wyverns at Sandora Wall. It’s probably a different monster… .”

━━━──!!!

When I heard the monster’s cry from the sky again, I felt a tingling sensation in the back of my head as if electricity had passed through it.

it’s a guy

The guy who made a lot of noise by sending weird cries in my head.

At the same time, Countess Redney shouted in all directions with a lost expression.

“Wyvern!!! It’s a dragon!!! Sound the alarm!!! Sound the beacon on Sandora!!!”
