After Yord stated, the preparations and lunch were already complete.
The expedition party selection also went well.
yord Mael's son is also among the five candidates. Of course, Ferrix did too.
Oh, ooh! Should I make Mael a commanding officer?
I was a little uneasy about it, but she herself agreed.
Yord also seems to have regained his youthful spirit, so I might be too worried.
And, after I took the baggage, Ferrix carried me on his back.
* Boyoyooon! * I'm drowning in his fur.
And while the surrounding fur seemed to have secured me, I felt For the Safety of Driving I Wrap around my body with the "Sticky Thread".
Look, I'm secretly practicing manipulating threads.
To defeat the enemy with the net! Isn't that everyone's dream?
Whether I would be able to learn their techniques, I don't know; but I decided to continue practicing!
In addition, the baggage keeps our money and some of our needs.
Enough food for a week.
If the trip takes longer, the plan is to hunt for the rest of the trip.
We can take more, but I'd rather avoid carrying a caravan worth of food.
For currency, we carry 10 silver and 31 bronze coins.
Of course, that's a small amount.
I didn't expect much.
If that's not enough .. we'll find out later.
Now, it's time to go!
The speed of the Human Demons, walking towards the Dwarf Kingdom took around four months.
[Through the forest through the vast Arnod River.
Beyond that, there are mountains.
And in the mountains you will find the Dwarf Kingdom. ]Say Them.
In addition to the Empire to the east, the Norou forest was also surrounded by many countries.
But on the border of the country, stands the Paanar mountains .
Thus, there were only three trade routes leading to them.
One runs right through the Norou forest.
Others, further away, crossed the mountains.
The last one is the sea route.
Today, the Norou forest route is the shortest and safest, but, for some reason, it is generally avoided.
And so, too, is the mountain route.
As for the sea lanes, fees and powerful sea monsters steered the sailors away; thus, it was the most fitting route to use.
For now, we have no business with the Empire.
So, instead of heading east, we went towards the north of the mountains.
We also do not need to go up to the top of the mountain.
The Dwarven Kingdom spread all the way to the Arnod River.
Their capital was a beautiful city carved into a natural giant cave.
It is the Dwarf Kingdom.
So as intended, we continued north along the Arnod river.
Since following the river flow prevents us from getting lost. Even though the route is safe, I have opened the map in my head.
As for our guide-he was sent as an emissary to the kingdom earlier, so we left it to him.
But ... the black wolf (Abyss Wolf) is fast! And shows no signs of fatigue.
Since we started the journey four hours ago, they have not taken a single break. And don't forget to mention their running speed of 80 kph (50 mph).
They did not even care about the uneven terrain, and while walking in this way it prevented getting drunk!
It's naturally comfortable, to say the least.
At this speed, this probably won't even take a week.
Well, there's no need to rush. Of course I want to know the clothes and housing immediately, but it's fine if it takes some time.
[Ooooo! You don't have to overdo it!]
Is what I said.
But for some reason, the speed increases.
At first I really enjoyed the wind generated by the faster-than-a-motor, yet I instantly became bored.
More than that given that it's hard to have conversations and hear at this speed, but I've got "Depath Communication"
Maybe it's a good thing to continue the journey with the conversation.
So I connected it to their network of thoughts.
What will I hear ...?
[Mael-kun's chat. I always wondered, what's your brother's name?]
[Yes! For a person like me, there is no need to bother with being chivalrous! As for my brother's name, he said that there was a man who traveled with him from the demon race and gave him a name.]
[Oh? A demon named Beastkin?]
[Yes, although this happened more than a decade ago. But the guy ... they said he stayed a few days and was happy with my brother.]
[Heh .... He must be a good brother.]
[Yes! I'm very proud of him. Up to the point where I say "I want to one day serve under Demon Gelmudo-sama, too!".]
[Demon didn't bring your brother with him?]
[Yes. I was young, but he set out with a promise to come back when I was strong.]
[Is that so. wouldn't he be surprised if he saw the village now!]
[Surely! However, I am now serving Yunero-sama. No matter how noble the Demon Lord is, I can no longer join Gelmudo-sama.]
[Demon Lord ...? I think I've heard that before. But, how do you trust him?]
[As you say. But whether it's faith or belief, I don't know. Although my brother received the name of the demon, he did not evolve so far.
Obviously, the rate of evolution is different. I never thought that I could hear the "Voice of the World" in my life!]
The other half-dwarf man would also just join in by saying "That's right!".
Is it really like that?
When you receive a name, you evolve. And, evolution depends on the giver's strength ...
If I get a chance to experiment, I'll give it a try.
More importantly regarding the Demon Lord.
Will the Demon Lord come to recruit us? ... Which side should we support ???
I think I'll think about it later when he comes.
In any case, "Hero" also exists, and if anyone were to go against a demon lord, would it be him.
Although whether he is still alive after 300 years is the question ... He may have reincarnated several times, and perhaps now he is practicing peacefully.
Let's make a mental note on this.
The next conversation is ...
[Ferrillix! Am I not your father's enemy? Are you okay with staying by my side?]
Is how I speak to the black wolf.
[Honestly, that thought never crossed my mind.
However, the fate of natural monsters rested on the outcome of the battle.
So in spite of the war, the victor declared his justice.
losers lose it all ...
And .. I, who had begun it was forgiven by you, and has even been given a name! I'm so grateful to you!]
[Isn't it .. well, if you want revenge, come to me at all times.]
[Sufuku. Since I grew up, I have been able to think more clearly. And unlike when in battle, now I know. If you take us seriously, we will definitely be slaughtered!
And our greatest desire, to thrive, will surely be shattered like ruins
our eternal loyalty is none other than to you Yunero-sama!!]
Ehh Seriously, this guy ...
Ferrix was expecting too much from me.
Well, forget anyhow her misunderstanding won't hurt me.
[So you've understood it .. you seem to have grown.]
[I don't deserve that compliment!]
The conversation ended with a nod.
But I killed his parents. There's no way I'd believe that he doesn't hold feelings of resentment.
If Ferrix is going to come for revenge, I will gladly face him.
Until then, he only needed to grow stronger.
Now, no matter how I look at it, he is the strongest among his species like a black snake.
And that's how we continue our journey.
Thus, without getting attacked by monsters or other happenings, we were comfortable continuing on our way.
Every three hours, we would take thirty minutes of rest. After fourteen hours, we'll take seven hours to sleep.
I said, "we don't have to be too hasty, do we?", but ...
[We're fine! Since we have progressed, this has not exhausted us at all!]
Mael Mael Answers,
[Don't worry about us! Unlike you, we need sleep, but not too much for hours!
Besides, we don't need to eat too much, and we won't weaken either!]
And Ferrix Added
Looking at others, their words seemed to prove to be true.
At this level, they do their best. I seem to whine too much.
Well, if everyone's okay with that, I guess we can continue at this pace. We would walk twelve hours a day.
And on the night of the second day, while eating dinner,
[Gio. How far are we going to get?]
I asked the Demi Human Wolf Named Gio!
[I'm glad that you asked this unworthy one !!! I'm sorry I was wrong, but we'll be there tomorrow! the mountain seems to be close to us!]
It seemed like being asked by me made her nervous and happy at the same time.
"He didn't bite his tongue, did he?" That's how nervous it looks.
But indeed, most of the mountains are now visible.
Compared to not seeing at all yesterday - so frightening is the speed we travel! ...
[By the way, I know this is a sudden question, but why did you travel to the Dwarf kingdom? shouldn't their merchants drop by once in a while?]
I asked that question.
When I asked Yord about the "village" for Other Human Demons, she also discussed something about Kobold merchants.
So what could have driven them to this two-month-long journey?
[Yes! It was about magic weapons and iron armor. Dwarves tend to buy them at high prices! Then We get paid by equipment .. so we help the seller bring it back!
And besides, none of us can use that equipment ..]
I-i understand.
So they sometimes sold equipment carried by adventurers.
And thus, they were left without the proper equipment.
Yet they sold it to Kobolds who could not even properly estimate its value.
they can kill a beginner.
It seems we cannot expect them to get their hands on something good ...
Who knows about the Dwarves.
To make us iron armor .. they might be a surprisingly good race.
Hopefully, we will be greeted kindly.
Actually, let's form a partnership!
Thus,
Since we started the journey, three days have passed.
a beautiful city carved into the mountains.
Forged by nature, natural fortress.
The State Warrior Dwarton.
We have reached the Dwarf Kingdom
