(EP.297)Master #1
297 – Master of the Forest #1
Spiders lined up at the entrance to the cave are whispering to each other.
I’m not drinking or hearing hallucinations, but hearing their stories is pretty dizzying.
Does listening to animals consume more mental power than you think?
「Calmly judge the situation!

I see
Anyway, it went well.
I don’t know what’s going on with this, but the story of the spiders was worth listening to.
So I thought it would be a good idea to approach the babbling spiders and have a detailed conversation.
“What you just said, is it true?”
Only my voice echoes in the narrow, dark cave. Because when I opened my mouth, the spiders shut their mouths. I wondered if my ears couldn’t hear them anymore.
It just seemed right for the guys to keep their mouths shut.
a few seconds to do that. After all, it is true that I heard the auditory hallucinations alone, and I am not a child, so I may have fallen into the illusion that I am talking to animals. It was about time to feel such regret.
ㅡ… Did that guy ever talk to us?
– I don’t know! He’s very weird!
Again, their voices reached my ears.
So I opened my mouth, thinking it was necessary to clearly communicate my intentions to these guys.
“It’s true what I said to you. Now I can hear your voices.”
That was then.
━Creung… !
Until recently, the guys who had been building a house at the entrance by leisurely pulling out spider webs started to dig after crying like an angry lion.
Pasch, Pasch.
Soon, they trembled with only their buttocks on the ground.
– How do you do it? You must be crazy! They’re talking to us!
– I don’t know! He’s very weird! May the great spider help us… !
am i scary
After all, even a spider as big as the palm of your hand is nothing more than a small creature compared to humans. It would be terrifying if the big me suddenly started talking to them.
Right now, the first time I saw the ogre Gorgor or Dordor, I was scared. Thanks to that, it took quite a while to convince them.
When I took out a honey candy I had been saving to eat and gave it to them, they seemed to have loosened their guard against me.
ㅡ Half Fairy! The blood of a short-eared fairy is mixed. So you can hear our conversation! Of course, that’s not the only reason… .
According to the spiders, the reason I can hear them talk is because I am a half-elf.
The fairy races that have lived since time immemorial, such as elves and nymphs, have the ability to communicate with animals and animals.
If you think about it, Stella, an elf, has also domesticated various animals such as blue eagles and hippogryphs.
I also quickly became friends with Keng Keng, a dog squirrel that is difficult to tame. Maybe because I was a half-elf? When you think about it that way, it makes sense.
-Of course, a story from a long time ago when we talked in the same language regardless of the number of legs. Even the fairies can’t hear us now. it’s degenerated
– Degeneration!
It is said that the age of the gods and fairies was over at a certain moment. At the same time, the fairies also stopped hearing the stories of the beasts… says the spiders.
I’m not really sure if it’s okay to trust what the spiders say.
If what they say is true, the special nature of this forest may have awakened the fairy blood that dwells in me so sensitively that I could hear the story of the beast.
Anyway.
Interesting story, but that’s not the point right now.
“My buddy is sick. I heard what kind of centipede it is, and I thought flowers could detoxify. Can you tell me more?”
– They are centipedes! The centipedes have bitten!
-There are a lot of centipedes in this forest!

Centipede.
There was an image that came to mind about the name. Long-legged worms.
But, wondering if the spiders and I were really conversing with the same image, I decided to ask lightly.
“centipede. Are you talking about a long-legged poison insect?”
– That’s right! They’re very naughty! Originally, this forest was a spider forest. And the spider was nice. After the rise of the high wall. There is shade in the forest, and a lot of shade-loving centipedes have come.
– Let’s kill the centipede. The centipede is my enemy.
The spiders continued to gossip about the centipedes. It was said that they were polluting the forest and poisoning the ditch and creek with their own poison.
“Conversation with animals is a very fairy tale thing… !
Occupation: The level of the half-fairy rises… !
Half Fairy Lv. 8 → Lv. 9

Now you can do more fairy-like things… !」

I’ve always been a little scared of spiders.
Rather than being afraid of his appearance, he was afraid because he did not understand what he was thinking.
In that sense, Aira and the spider had similarities.
In the sense that he stares at the opponent without blinking his black eyes.
Then, suddenly, he jumps on me and bites my face because I have a sense of tension.
However, contrary to what I expected, spiders were very talkative.
– Did I talk to the fairy? Go and brag to everyone!
-You won’t believe it! It’s been years since I’ve talked to a people with only two legs… . It’s been 20 years. After her, no one listened to us.
It seems that the fact that someone listens to their story itself is quite happy. Seriously, I thought that if I had a conversation partner after living alone for a long time, I would flirt so easily.
However, there was something I was curious about when I heard their conversation.
“Did anyone else talk to you besides me?”
– There was! That friend was also a fairy. She was a short-eared fairy. I was the owner of this forest. At that time, the centipedes could not even come close to our area. We didn’t hide in the cave like this either… .
-By the way. Now that I look at it, she looks a bit like you, half-fairy!
“You look like me?”
-Don’t worry about what he says. Because he’s a guy who says they all look the same even if they have the same number of eyes, nose and mouth.
-Hey! In fact, you can’t tell the two-legged faces apart! I don’t know either!

Crumble.
Then I heard a voice behind me. I turned my head to see Stella with a frown on her face, looking at me with a very red face. Did I wake up with noise?
“Tae-kun… , I don’t know if I’m hearing hallucinations… . I think Tae-oh is talking to the spiders by himself right now, right… ?”
“… … .”
did it look like that
It may be the case for others to see. So I explained to Stella that I was able to talk to the spiders.
However, Stella, who was overheated by the poison of the centipedes, only wriggled her eyebrows as if she could not understand my story.
“… A return to the primitive world, listening to the stories of the beasts. I’ve heard that it often appears in the fairies. Is it because of the mysterious magic of the spider forest… .”

Cole.
Stella coughed.
As soon as I saw the drops of blood splashing from her mouth, my hair stood on end. Because I knew for sure that I didn’t have time to flirt with the spiders like this.
“Then can you protect that long-eared fairy? I want to get some of the evening primroses you mentioned.”
-Yes! But you better be careful! Evening primrose. It’s in a wet, dark pond. There will be many centipedes.
“Where is the pond going?”
-Follow the big star next to the moon. As you go, you will find that it came naturally. You can’t hide that thick venom.
“… … .”
Is there a place where there are many poisonous insects?

Considering that one of the reasons Ogre Dordor was reluctant to go to the East Forest was because of centipedes and other poisonous insects, it makes me quite nervous.
Still, there were few options that could be called a choice for me.
Are you going to lose Stella like this, or are you going to risk your way to the pond? Of course, I know without thinking about which one I should choose so that I won’t have any regrets.
Paz.
I came out of the cave.
A night with a dark moon rising.
The forest north of the barrier, without a single sound as if it were a dead mouse. But if you listen carefully, you can see that this forest is not so quiet.
– It came out again.
-Where do you want to go?
– I don’t know.
A muffled murmur can be heard from all over the bushes. The conversation sounds of guys who don’t know what kind of beast they are. The world was full of all kinds of conversations, so loud that my ears were ringing.
Was the world this noisy in the first place?
It seems to take some time to get used to.
Let’s take a step first.
According to the spiders, if you follow the largest star in the north, you will find a pond with evening primrose flowers.
I felt like someone was following me.
– You think you’re going to the pond?
-Should I tell Kublai? The pond side is the territory of Angala. Until there, we can’t even follow. The poison is so strong even if you go near it… .
– Let’s watch a little more.
Kublai.
Inferred from its name was the monster wolf that was said to rule this eastern forest. Did I mention that he was a wolf that was incredibly big and furry?
His subordinates also seemed to be having a close conversation with each other, although we didn’t know.
According to Marmar, I heard that all the demons beyond the northern wall had fallen and lost their wit.
It can be seen that not only did they speak different languages, but they also maintained order in their own way.
I’m fine.
If we can talk, we might be able to solve many problems. Whatever the case, it was very fortunate for me that they didn’t attack me right away.
“… … .”
That was then.
sarrrrr-.
I stopped breathing at the strange scent that wafted at the tip of my nose and covered my nose and mouth with a handkerchief. A crude and irritating scent, as if heavily perfumed.
His senses were not so dull that he did not know that this was the poison the spiders were talking about. Did we arrive at a place called the pond where evening primrose flowers bloomed?
Susssss-.
I looked around and saw that the tree was bare, without a single leaf. I can no longer feel the presence of the wolves following me.
“… … .”
Perhaps because of the poison, he gave up chasing me.

Crumble.
White bones scattered nearby enough to be trampled on by their feet, something with a long body moved between them, and it turned out to be a centipede with a long body, a shiny shell, and numerous legs.
Zuzzzzz-.
Oh, it’s really disgusting and I’m going to die.
ㅡOh, look at that. I only have two legs. There are ten small bumps on the front paws, right? are those fingers? It’s really disgusting and I’m going to die!
-Oh, that’s terrible. let’s run away Tell Angala that an intruder has arrived!
“… … .”
They hate me too. my fingers are creepy hurt a little
A thick fog obscured my vision without even having to worry about it.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Night fog has many parts that limit human vision. It’s hard to even look ahead.
—Light.
woah ah
So I illuminated the surroundings with a sphere made of magical power.
While the fog receded a little by the magical light, I could see a lake that was a little too wide to be called a pond and the beautiful flowers blooming around it.
It looks like a lily.
It is very beautiful to have a soft light and shimmer. It is certain that that is the evening primrose that the spiders were talking about.
That was the moment I was about to move towards it.
Sussssss-.
I heard the sound of something sweeping across the rough floor.
-Who is this? The little fairy got lost and came to this pond.
It was a terrifying feat. As I turned my back, I saw something long passing behind my back. It was thick and huge.
Its body is as thick as the beams of a huge temple. Its body, which looks like a smooth armor, has a lot of legs thicker than a human forearm.
It’s very big.
– No, I’m not an ordinary fairy. It’s all mixed up it’s a half fairy These are rare guys these days. Fun.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now I saw that the whole floor was covered with his gigantic body. In the meantime, I couldn’t see his head, so I had to hurry to find his head.
sususu-.
As countless legs brushed past my body, I encouraged myself by thinking of Stella, who was still suffering from poison, and those who were waiting for me beyond the wall.
“Are you Angalaji, the owner of the pond?
sususu-.
-Hey, are you talking to me? But you better pay attention to the language, kid. Even Solomon, who claims that the world is a demon king, paid tribute to me… !
