From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

< 119. Whitestone of Labyrinth (1) >

Bloop.

Grab a handful of dirt and throw it. The wind blows and scatters the dirt. It was red soil on the ground that did not grow out of grass.

Fraunmut territory is a good place to hang around the word "barren ground."

“Octopus!”

There was a group of monsters that sometimes flocked there.

A place with razor mountains, but no gold mines, no silver or iron mines.

Nevertheless, there was no Mana Ore.

The former king used to make this place a monument. If you ask me to make the land gathered by monsters into territory, it's just punishment.

This place is definitely barren. It was enough to be the Lord's Banquet. Since I asked for the amulet to the ground, I don't think the fisherman will be surprised and the prince will be embarrassed.

They think I'm half-crazy. This land was a pile of scarcity, but I felt nothing.

Let's take it slow.

It was just the beginning.

“Lynd.”

Lynd approached my call. My sword and shield, which had been removed from my green blood, were dirty, whether I wanted to eat and sleep in a small tent that I was ashamed to call a camp.

Looking at the skinny cheeks there, it was obvious that they didn't eat properly.

Before leaving Earl Ludwig, I moved with Lynd, and there was only one thing I wanted from them.

I knew what was on Fraunmund's land, but I didn't know how many monsters there were.

I just knew my arm was wiped out, there was no way of knowing how big it was.

However, when I saw that it was not written very much in the history books and that it had not been removed from the surrounding territory and had become a wasteland.

“Minimum size is more than a thousand. ”

Lind told me.

Yeah, about that much, I thought it would be between 1,000 and 1,500.

“Good.”

“What's good about it. ”

Lynd grumbles. I'm glad I got it right, kid.

“I think there's a leader. He's not usually the smart one. ”

A herd of monsters rushing from the start would have been no match for three. If they had been so desperate, this area would have been cleared before I got here.

That means there's an unexpected problem, and Lynd solves it by saying, "The enemy has a leader."

After hearing all the things that had happened and all the fighting that had happened in my absence, I started drawing enemies in my head.

Hopgoblins or monsters? ’

Even though the nearby lords had abandoned him, he sent troops to clean up the horde of monsters.

Earl Ludwig would have fulfilled his duty as an adjoining lord.

In that situation, a group of monsters gathered and survived. It didn't make sense to say there was no chief.

I couldn't be specific just by listening to what the boss was like.

“We'll have to clean the monsters before we can bring people in. ”

Being lord of this land meant living on this land. There's no one here who doesn't know that.

How strange was it that no one was thinking of what I was saying.

One is my comrade from the battlefield with me, and the other is the men I personally brought from the castle.

Royse and Agatha seem reluctant to talk to me at my event, and Jabrian doesn't seem to think at all.

Lynd, Axe and Digo followed me. You wouldn't be here if you didn't believe me in the first place.

“Did you eat well? ”

“I couldn't eat. ”

Diego replied to me, but I didn't think it was taken very well. Lynd and Digo, the axe, and the people I brought there.

I was humble at the beginning of the territory.

“Not bad. ”

I was quite satisfied. There are only five vice users here.

What land would possess this kind of power? If the ferryman or the prince had known this, he would never have let me go of the castle.

I was thinking about how to deal with the horde of monsters.

“Bang!"

I cried out loud. I got up and walked out of the tent. I wanted to come when. It was the cry of a pumpkin.

Why is the crying getting louder? It must be a lot bigger.

I can't wait to get over my waist.

Let's go outside to see my little wolf.

“Bang."

“…… Pumpkin? ”

When I called, he came up to me and rubbed one head on my chest, though it was my thigh.

“Huh.”

I pushed without hesitation. I raised my hand to reflexively stroke the pumpkin's head.

“You've grown a lot, haven't you? ”

Lind says in the back. It's not that big a deal.

Where did our weepy little wolf go?

“Stop pushing. I'm going to die.”

As I reach out and push my chest, I can feel the strong muscles hidden in my fur. A little further apart, I could see a rabid horse in my eyes.

Even when I stood up, I was about as tall as I could be.

The gold rope from the tip of the nose to the tail remained the same, but the body was completely different. His face became more handsome.

Even among the wolves, our pumpkin is the most handsome wolf.

“You've grown so much. ”

As I look at the pumpkin and say, the pumpkin spits out Howling into the air.

Ow!

How nice to see you. He left me in a circle. I was dizzy, so I grabbed him and stopped. Don't flatter yourself with such a heavy body that you'll break if you get hit wrong.

“Enough.”

When he stops, he lays down with his boat in front of me. No, don't.

It's not what I would do with my body. Son of a bitch.

“Oh, a wolf? ”

Yabrian approaches with interest. You'd never believe me if I said dog now.

“Pumpkins.”

“Greetings, pumpkin. ”

Jabrian nods and waves to the pumpkin. This was the type of thing that was most valuable to her as a wandering nation.

Things that cannot be valued.

Our pumpkin was the only species that existed in the world, so of course it caught her attention.

“What did you eat to grow up? ”

As Jabrian approaches the pumpkin, the pumpkin begins to smell Jabrian.

It was his habit to remember all the smells of my group. As I looked at it and said, Lind replied.

“I don't know. It's hard to see your face once a day without you, but I came as soon as I could. ”

The pumpkin would remember my scent, so it was natural.

“Phew. First of all. ”

I hid in front of everyone, and then I was a horse.

“Let's eat.”

Where is more important than eating? Let's eat and live.

“Hmm."

Lind let out a short groan in my words. Unexpected words, but I'm not the only one who looks happy. You don't look like you've been eating well, no matter how you look at it.

As before, I got the stone tablets, cleaned them with water, lit the fire, and pulled the raw meat out of the land on the way.

“I'll do it. ”

Agatha looks at it and leaves. I'm familiar with it.

“Lady, leave it. ”

Lind drys it out. She knows it's better to do it with my hands than to do it with someone else's.

Compared to the chefs I met in the royal palace, I would be a mere cook, but a chef who only eats in the field would rarely be me.

Herbs on the ground are my spices, and grilling meat was close to perfection thanks to my many experiences.

Fast.

I sprinkled salt flowers and sprinkled three spices from the palace.

“Fantastic aroma spreads when you meet a little bit of herb powder and pepper. ”

Pa 'a.

I didn't actually hear it, but it sounded like it was spreading over the meat. Immediately, the sweet and bitter aroma spread.

“Let's eat.”

Thick meat was roasted in a light fire for a long time, and the burnt surface was peeled off with a knife.

After that, let's cut off his insides.

Munkle. Glug.

The juicy pig's neck is ripe. It made me drool in my mouth and forget to blink.

“No way. This is heavenly. ”

Yabrian eats it and is ready to shed tears. Other people's reactions were not very different either.

The axe eats silently, and Agatha blinks and looks at me and says,

“You're a good cook. ”

Agatha says with a red face. I smiled and threw a large chunk of meat back.

Phew. Hot air!

The pumpkin hops around like a lump of dust and grabs a lump of meat and eats it.

It's cooked meat. It's just a delicacy for pumpkins, and he took care of it himself. But if you don't give me one of those, I'm sure I'll puke. It was also a firestorm to protect tonight.

From then on, it was a human party.

I ate, drank, and drank. I wonder if I came from the palace empty-handed.

“A wine made from a grape from Farnon far away, worth a jar of Doubloons. ”

I pulled out some purple bottles and said,

Well, the money didn't matter.

“Here's the cup. ”

Agatha pulls out a crude wooden cup. You say you've lived a long life, but even after leaving Central Shed, she has taken a piece of her household.

“I was wondering if it would be helpful to have some water. ”

She added that she was anxious, and the axe grabbed a cold glass regardless of him and shoved it at me.

Oh, I'll follow you.

(Screaming)

It was an expensive wine worth one gold coin, but for them it was no more than a drink or less.

“It's been a while.”

Digo talks and clicks his drink.

Most of them were not drunk enough, but it was enough to enjoy a good time.

It was a ruined environment, but after eating and drinking properly, it seemed like I had come out for a while.

“The baron is a real man. I saw him. ”

“What did you see? ”

Agatha recounts everything that happened in the palace.

“No, just at the ball! Perfect for dancing!”

Lind nods reluctantly. Can you understand that?

It was hard for me to understand the situation just by listing those words.

“Man! ”

Agatha is drunk.

“Sister, you can't do this. ”

Lois pulls her aside and gives up. I didn't usually see him once or twice, but I dried him a few times and let him go.

They were more busy living every day than nobles. Vanity and vanity.

Lind and Digo quickly became acquainted with them. Jabrian eats with admiration, and the rest is no different.

“Baron.”

Jabrian's eyes widen. Who tipped him off?

“Too weak to drink. A weak child.”

The axe that saw it said.

“I'm not a child. Son of a bitch.”

Jabrian gives a fierce talk to the axe, but he doesn't pretend to hear it and ignores it.

Jabrian approaches to see if he remembers calling me in person.

“Let's set up our own restaurant. ”

The Wandering Southern Nation wants to close the deal if they see a good deal.

“Are you crazy?”

Royse frowns at it. Since we ask the lord of the land to open a restaurant, that's how we'll react. Moreover, he is a man of wisdom.

“Rude. Southern girl. ”

“... I'm peeling. ”

Drunk Yabrian became a southern woman who uttered blasphemy on the central continent.

I just laughed at them.

It was a night of eating, drinking and enjoying. As soon as I got up for the rest of the day, I found a pumpkin.

“Thank you all night. ”

It's been months apart, but pumpkins are pumpkins, and I am. Nothing has changed between us.

Pumpkins protected the night while others were resting. He throws a Refining Squad at gratitude, his jaw snaps and he eats, and his nose puffs.

I don't think he's heard anything from the liver. Well, how did I know you'd grow so big while you were here?

If things calm down, we'll have to create a new Pumpkin Refining Squad.

“Wanna go for a walk? ”

I tell the pumpkin, he sticks with me. Then I shoved my front foot out and my back.

“Huh? Hop in? ”

Well, it won't be hard to ride this big. He's a natural born stranger, so he won't be burdened by burning a man.

“Oh.”

As he climbs on his back with the horse, the pumpkin kicks the ground.

“Scouting?"

Lind asked if she opened her eyes early and came out the back.

“I'll just look around and be ready." ”

You didn't have to tell me you were ready.

What are you going to do with your time? It was like Lind said, scouting for monsters and hanging out.

“Let's go."

It's been a while since I've seen a pumpkin and wanted to go for a walk.

Tadak.

The pumpkin lowers its torso to jump lightly and grabs his fur. If you make a mistake, you'll fall to the ground.

Unlike horses, the movement of pumpkin's shoulders and back muscles was transmitted through the thighs and buttocks.

It's not fast, but I look up at the monster trail at the right speed.

The Moon Castle, Fraunmund Castle, was near. The gate is half-breached and the wall next to it is half-broken, so it doesn't seem hard to get past it.

Looking at this, I thought it was definitely abandoned land and castle.

“Chuckle.”

I got off the pumpkin and moved on. It was between a broken wall and a gate.

A small, white grain falls out. I picked it up, smelled it, and licked it with my tongue.

“I knew it.”

Then he muttered to himself. No matter how well you hide, a group of Goblins have been hiding from the Vise user for months.

Lynd, Digo, and the axe had their reasons for not finding them, and I was able to guess why.

If the trail suddenly drops and disappears, there's only one of two reasons.

Or soar into the sky.

It was something I thought of as a soliloquy, stretching out my back.

“Get off the ground. ”

As long as the Goblins don't have wings, there's only one place they can hide.
