Black Witch Log-in

73. Early journey

Merman or fish man, carrying a trident weapon is a spear with three sharp eyes like a harpoon. The fishman swam quickly towards Estrid who was building the bridge pole.

When the fishman thought that his surprise attack would be over, Estrid suddenly burst an electrical energy from his body. Many advertisements around were immediately killed even Frenzy Cod was sprawled unconscious in the attack.

But human fish with better health than fish can and cod fish can still survive the electrical explosion of Estrid. However the fish's human body could not be moved due to the Stun effect after getting injured from the attack of the electric element magic.

“Let's see who the coward is trying to attack me from behind.”

The fish-man stared intently at the human woman in front of him, but the gaze immediately showed fear as Estrid looked back at the fish-man.

Estrid continued to watch the fish man for a while until she finally decided to bring him ashore before the Stun effect ended. Everyone was shocked when Estrid came back to the surface with a fish monster.

“Merman?.” says Sania

“Yes, call Priska, maybe she can understand this guy's language!.”

“Language?.” Priska looks confused.

Fish-man freed from the effects of Stun, he immediately carried out attacks on the people around. But since his trident had already been taken by Estrid, even a fish-man could only rely on the claws in his hand.

“Do I need to finish him?.” asked Hektor who was ready to use his spear.

“No, let me handle it!.” reply Estrid, she immediately approached the fish man, a quick attack from that level 25 monster could not be avoided and ended with a claw wound on her face.

But without caring if his body was injured Estrid immediately grabbed the neck of the fish man and then forcefully pushed him to hit the ground so hard.

“Kerrkk...” human fish can not say anything when his neck is choked. He could only look into the woman's eyes in anger.

“Quiet or I will kill you!.” said Estrid.

Passively active Viking rage makes the strong intimidation of the woman destroy the fish man's mentality. Even some of the surrounding people gasped in shock as they felt an aura of anger from him.

Estrid's white hair instantly turned red like a blaze made the fish man afraid, he no longer dared to mess around for fear of being killed by the woman in front of him.

Seeing that the human mentality of the fish had been destroyed, then Estrid told the monster to be tied up somewhere.

“Treat him well.” order Estrid.

“Why don't you just finish him off?.” said Sania who doesn't seem to like fish people.

“You ever had a problem with that race before?.” asked Estrid.

“Not like that. I just hate fish because I've been eating it for years. You think I like the fish tea I used to serve you?.” Sania said.

“So you gave me a lot of fish tea that face because it did not want to eat it?.” Estrid looked at Sania suspiciously, while the NPC just chuckled while scratching the back of her head.

Ignoring Sania's actions, the children's army finally arrived at the bridge-building area riding goats. Priska was soon asked to speak to a fish-man.

After a few minutes of chatting with each other in a language that no one understood except the two, Priska was finally able to master the language of the fish man.

“What an amazing ability.” said Herka saw Priska chatting smoothly.

The reason why Estrid did not directly kill the fish man was because there was a colony of Merman water monsters at the bottom of the river. Estrid did not want to if it caused the outbreak of war for killing the fish man.

According to the information Priska got, the human colony of fish came from a lake that is in the upper reaches of the river closer to Mount Frieg. Just like the tree elves who died in their village, the fishmen left the lake where they came from due to the extreme cold.

Three years ago a human colony of shady fish to the ruins of the bridge because it felt the river water in that place warmer, although in fact the temperature is still very deadly for ordinary humans.

He was afraid that letting go of the fish man would wreak havoc for the villagers. But if not released it will cause other problems.

“Very confusing.” murmured Estrid. Seeing the confused Estrid, Herka approached her and said if there was no need to worry about the village and the residents.

“Don't hold back just because it worries us. We have survived for years living in this deadly region. You know it's not.” Herka said with a smile, but in her eyes there was intimidation that shocked me.

The old woman who had taught me so much about runes and magic, the merchant woman who was my best friend, then the guard with the spear whose power I had not known. And the last of the troops that I have been educating for a few days.

“Yes, they will definitely keep this village without any problems.”

Estrid approached the fish-man who was tied to a chair. He carried an axe in his hand, seeing that the fish man was extremely frightened. He looked at the human child who had already had a long chat with him, but the young human only threw a wide smile.

‘I will definitely die today.’ thought the fish man was very frightened. But it turns out that Estrid uses the Axe only to untie the bonds that hold the fish man.

“Priska, tell him if he's free. And the current condition of the village that intends to build another bridge.”

“Each commander!.” reply Priska loudly.

Estrid hopes that she can build friendships with fish colonies. Or at least the ads let them build bridges.

The captured fish-man returned to the river, Estrid continued the construction of a support pole. Other than Frenzy Cod there are no more monsters that attack me so that the construction of the pole runs smoothly.

After he finished building the mast of the bridge, Estrid immediately prepared everything he needed for the long trek up Mount Frieg.

Wof wof....

Alaska and Pluto continue to ask to be invited to go with Estrid, but the woman insists that the two Wolves keep guarding the village.

“Jamgan became a brat when I left okay!.” said Estrid while hugging Alaska and Pluto.

In front of the village gate the villagers gathered to release Estrid. Even the six-legged goat king was present. It seemed like he was preparing for a rematch against the woman who had left him sprawled with a single blow. But seeing Estrid leave, the goat king postponed the match for later.

“Prieve success for me.” said Estrid who then turned around leaving the village.

“Goodway!.”

“Good lucky!.”

“We will be waiting for you!.”

“Goat rider squad will protect the village, as great commanders go to challenge the top of the world!.”

Awooooooo!

Auuuu!

Embeeek!

Without feeling my tears flowing in every step I took away from the village. I'm not turning around right now, because if I did maybe this trip would never start again for good.
