We Live in Dragon’s Peak

Before me, there is a path that leads to Dragon Peak.

But unlike even the west fort, it's not paved at all.

There are hardly any cobblestones around the fort, but after a short walk, it's already soiled ground.

It's not like the kingdom of Armuard.

I'm out of the country now, aren't I?

I think the brown dirt road taught me reality.

Spring grasshoppers grow, both on and around the road.

The stomped spot is a hard brown soil protrusion, but elsewhere it grew relentlessly and rough.

You haven't been taken care of at all.

This is a world that no longer has the influence of the kingdom of Armuard. It seems to be a lie that I was talking to the twin princesses until now.

I look back.

In doing so, there were far higher outlines and fortifications that stood even though they were robust.

The back is real, and I feel like the front is unreal.

On the fort, some soldiers were looking down at me.

He said, "Be careful when I wave."

All right, there's no point in stopping.

When I looked back, I started walking. [M]

It's rough, but there's a way.

If we follow this path, I'm supposed to get to my first destination.

I walk silently along the road. [M]

The soil is swollen about the width of the carriage's wheels.

I wonder if this is because the Dragon Nation carries their luggage by carriage when they do business in the King's Capital.

The stiffened line continued, telling me that it was the way and the way to go.

Moving away from the fort to the west, the groceries gradually grew, and the forest spread was only ever closer to me.

I remember a year ago when I stepped into the dragon forest.

I knew nothing about the world back then. I was a little boy.

A species living in the woods. Protector. People living in Dragon Peak. A coexisting dragon. I didn't know anything, and even if I did, I must not have cared that it was about another world.

But not now.

Knowing a lot, meeting a lot of people, and now I'm going for Dragon Peak of my own free will.

I know a lot more about Dragon Peak and I guess I'll meet a lot of people.

The first trials for this are spreading in front of me.

The dragon forest in the south had some sacred atmosphere, even if it was depressing.

I'm sure that's because the sanctuary of the old guarded spiritual tree of Sleighsta was there.

But the forest that now spreads in front of me only gave me evil signs everywhere, and I trembled.

You shouldn't neglect your vigilance. From now on, danger must be waiting for me right next door.

I set my feet in the woods so that I could deal with it urgently at all times.

Roads also continue in the woods.

That's the path the Dragon Nation has been using for a long time.

Even if weeds grow and the ground is rough, we can certainly recognize the way there.

No tree grows to disturb the road.

But instead, just beside the road was already a depressed, dark forest with a wide variety of trees.

I'm sure if we go down south, we'll all be connected to the dragon forest, but the atmosphere in this forest is completely different.

It's only morning, but there's no light in the woods stretching out on either side of the road, and it's dark and creepy.

And as soon as I walked into the woods, my stretched vigilance net was detecting an anomaly.

Someone is watching me.

I wonder what. He's skilfully hiding the signs, but there's more than one person following me.

Tension makes my body tense.

I tried to get as far through the middle of the road as I could.

The easiest place to walk is where the wheels of the carriage have been stiffened, but that gets to the end of the road.

It would be tough if he walked on the edge and was attacked right out of the bush next to him.

While I was on the lookout, I made sure to move forward step by step.

You'll lose your spirits.

Some kind of surveillance has been following me for a long time at a distance.

You're so good at getting rid of signs, you're deliberately burning my spirit by smelling my presence.

I also thought about assaulting him if I know exactly where he is, but he seems to be a better tailor.

Using Dragon Qi to explore, I couldn't even identify where they were.

I can't keep my spirit, not my strength, as it is.

I never thought a series of endless tensions would drain my spirit so much.

Spread it.

I make up my mind.

I can't stay on their tail forever.

This forest is an unknown world for me.

There's nothing good about wearing out your spirit in the other person's territory.

I work out my dragon temper.

The dragon treasure balls in my body sent a rough force to me.

I stopped once. [M] Look in front of you.

And continuously activated the spatial leap.

Fly once. Immediately activated by hair at the tip of the flight. Leaps again at the next travel point.

That's how I ran through the woods in a flash.

With my dragon power now that I've enclosed dragon treasure balls, I can handle continuous spatial leaps.

But I just can't do it dozens of times, so I stopped once I thought I had earned a fair distance.

And I'll explore the signs around me.

Good. I think I sprinkled it.

The forest still creates a creepy atmosphere, but the unpleasant signs that you were spying on me were gone.

I stroke my chest down once and restart my steps.

I've consumed quite a bit of dragon power now, but you don't have time to replenish it with meditation.

There's only one way. It's easy for them to see that I'm at the end of the road, no matter how far I travel. If I bring it, they'll catch up with me and follow me again.

I followed the dragon air into my body and advanced early into the forest. [M]

Keep walking while chewing on the dried meat I brought you at lunch as well.

And before evening, I went off the road into a creepy forest.

It's time to get ready for camp.

The first destination is scheduled for about lunch tomorrow.

That's why I'm really going camping tonight.

I really wanted to take a break along the road, but I dared to go into the woods and rest because I was concerned about the tail of the watchman.

While I try not to lose sight of the direction, I look for an affordable campsite.

Then I was able to find a good rock shade.

The two boulders fold in half, and the crevices between them seem just right to hide themselves.

Today's camp location is decided here.

I unload my luggage and stretch my back.

Though I was using dragon chi, I didn't even walk.

Released from the weight of my luggage, I realized that I had wings on my back.

I put my stuff down, I move on to my next move.

Dinner's ready. I carry preserved food, of course, but I don't really want to use it if I can.

Preserved food is for emergency use.

It's a few days to the village of Mistral, but there are cases, aren't there? So just in case, I don't get my hands on the preserved food as much as possible, and I'm going to procure food myself.

Mistral has long taught me how to find nuts and find edible grass flowers and root vegetables.

She's been picking things up for me every day, so I know her.

Looking as Mistral taught me, I was able to collect some nuts in a short time.

And when I tried to get back to the campsite, a rabbit appeared at the end of my gaze.

Meat Discovery!

I'm excited about the unexpected. [M]

After all, meat accompanies meals, right?

That's why big animals like deer are difficult to handle and carry even if they are captured, but if it's about ravioli, it's fine.

The rabbit immediately notices me and looks at me with vigilance.

Normally, I don't have a bow and arrow, and I don't set a trap. It's not a situation where I can catch you.

I flew to the side of the raven in an instant and was able to secure it without difficulty.

It looks like a spatial leap.

"Meat. Meat."

Not Priscia, but I took a small leap back to the campsite.

And I'll twist it.

I learned how to behave in a mistral way.

You don't look good when a man can't flaunt an animal he's hunted.

I cook while I'm handsome. [M]

That said, when you use fire, you tell the tracker where it is with smoke, so you use the Demonic Crystal Stone of the Flame attribute.

Steamed with nuts or something.

Collect the leaves of the trees, and put together therein the thighs of the ramen, the nuts, and the demonic crystal stones of the flame attribute.

Even if the Magic Stone doesn't have a spell, it can be activated by anyone with a strong will.

The little flaming demonic crystal stone does not rise in fire, but it produces just the heat of steaming meat and nuts wrapped in fallen leaves.

It'll take a while, though.

Demonic crystal stone. Poor me is expensive shopping. [M]

But I couldn't have hesitated today.

Waiting for someone to drip.

I had a delicious steamed treat before sundown.

The seasoning is just salt and pepper, but the meat from the prey I caught myself was exceptionally delicious.

I decided to meditate before bed. [M]

I have to replenish the dragon power I consumed in one day today.

My big advantage is that even if I consume dragon power, I can replenish it from the dragon pulse.

Those who can't feel the dragon pulse, those who can't even feel it, can only leave the restoration of dragon power consumed to nature.

But I can always replenish it from the dragon pulse.

Depletion will debilitate you, but I can replenish it before then, right?

Zazen in the shadow of a rock, I meditate.

It was a quiet night.

When I meditate, I can feel the nature all around me.

This forest creates a creepy atmosphere, but the animals that live there are no different from the dragon forest.

From time to time I hear wild birds working at night.

When the still cold wind passes through the woods, the grass plays a light sound.

I wonder if I'm really stepping into the outer realm. [M] The thought boiled in me as I meditated and felt the world.

And I fell asleep as I meditated. [M]

but sari.

I wake up all the way to the noise that I accidentally hear.

And I almost screamed.

I was alarmed.

I knew this was a dangerous place.

I was wary of the situation in front of me, and unfortunately I lost my back.

Countless packs of wolves surrounded me in the shadow of a rock.

You can see countless glittering eyes in the woods at night.

The wolf struck at me in unison when I woke up.

"Wow."

Having lost my hips and moved to the situation in front of me, all I could do was turn my arms around my head and circle myself.
