Chapter.18 Monsters of the Northern Land
“Grrrrrrrrrun!”
“This is our district! I won’t stay still if you come near! “They say it is?”
“What is the rune at the end of that sentence?”
“I just tried it because their cries ended in runes.”
“Well, it’s annoying, so knock me out. “It’s big, so let’s leave it as a candidate for now.”
“I understand!”
“Stop making strange noises!”
“I understand!”
“What is it Aang?”
“i get it! You are so annoying too! “It’s my heart!”
Lulin pursed his mouth and widened his eyes to stun the white monster. But at that very moment, two small white monsters, as if they were children, were added. Lulun, shaking! Lulun! I cry while doing this.
Behind him, another white monster, slightly smaller than the white monster blocking Lulin’s path, grabbed the smaller guys and crouched down.
It looks like the mother is over there.
“Wait a minute, Lurin.”
I felt uncomfortable about something so I stopped Lurin. They look like a family, and they are shaking. Looking at the way he swings his club, he doesn’t look like he’s used to fighting.
If they are not ferocious like orcs or ogres and are just shaking, it would be a bit difficult to unilaterally stun them.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Tell them to rest assured that we are not enemies.”
“An enemy?”
“You look so pitiful. “I will first find out what kind of monster it is and decide on a policy.”
“You shouldn’t judge monsters just by their appearance! Those who are shaking are even more so. “You are soft!”
Why is this dragon the correct answer?
But just as I was about to urge him to do it, other monsters appeared. He looks very angry but stupid.
These are ferocious monsters commonly known as trolls.
They had white fur covering their bodies. The fur of the white monsters trembling before my eyes was clearly visible. Because it’s cold, it looks like it’s killing a white monster and wearing its fur.
In an instant, a food chain was drawn.
“Lurrin, isn’t it a bit much to have those trolls managing the rares?”
Nod.
Lulin frowned with a shocked face. It means I absolutely hate it.
I nodded and created a whirlwind spell. A huge tornado occurs in a 500 meter radius excluding the center where the white monster is and blows everything away.
“Gooooooooooo!”
The trolls surrounding them screamed and disappeared in a whirlwind. It’s nice because it’s clean. It’s clean.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”
The white monster family who saw this opened their mouths as if they had seen an unbelievable scene. At the same time, there was complete despair on his face.
“Hehehe, I like the white guy more than that troll. “I decided on this.”
Lulin said that and approached the white monster filled with despair.
“Grrrrrrun rrrrrun!”
“I’ll give you my fur so my family can live!” “These guys are arrogant.”
“Do you dare bargain with this body?”
Lurin scattered his piers and began to threaten the white monster family.
The white monsters who were threatened by the dragon seemed to have realized the identity of the being in front of them and began to kneel down and pray. In the meantime, they protect their children inside their bodies.
I feel like I’ve become a complete villain.
I grabbed Rurin by the back and led her towards me. Lurin, who came with me, stood holding my arm, smiled innocently, and spouted out a bloody line.
“You, you. “He’s arrogant, but I think we can destroy his spirit and take him away.”
“It looks really innocent at first glance, but there’s no need for that, right? “Please translate.”
“Huh?”
Lurin does not speak the language of white monsters. A dragon’s specialty is conveying its meaning directly to the mind rather than words. Dragons, regardless of their species, were able to make their will sound in the head.
“First, ask what your name is. “I’m curious because it’s my first time seeing this monster.”
Lurin looked like she was wondering why she knew the name of such an insignificant being, but when I urged her, she couldn’t help but look at the white monsters.
Soon, the meaning seemed to have been conveyed to the head of the family who was lying down and started muttering something.
“Urrrrrrrrrn!”
“We are a race called Lulun!”
“Uhhua Lunglu -ruo! Urururururururururun!”
“Originally, this northern land was our home. However, one day, they were captured one by one by large creatures that came, ate them, and tore off their fur, putting them on the verge of extinction. “I will do anything to save my children and wife!”
The interpreter started working without any malfunction.
Monsters that originally lived in this northern land?
In fact, despite the enormous amount of fur, it has a structure suitable for the northern plains.
The story seems to be that these monsters originally lived peacefully in this northern land, but when large, vicious monsters that lost the war moved in, they were brutally slaughtered and faced the risk of extinction.
It’s like the feeling of the Indians living in the Americas.
“Were you being chased by those trolls earlier? “Ask me like this.”
Lurin nods and looks at Lurun. Then the Luluns began to bend their bodies violently. Even at a glance, it was clear that it meant positivity.
“Urrurrrun!”
“They say so?”
“Then tell them not to worry and to run away because I won’t hurt them. “Let’s not bother with the endangered ones and catch something else.”
“If you say so, I will. Because I’m nice. “But instead, it’s a bitch.”
“Why is Kook coming out of there? “There’s no relationship at all?”
“Urururun! “Urururun!”
“Man, if you try to imitate the cries of the Luruns, you won’t be able to understand them. “Please tell me quickly.”
“Huh. i get it!”
LuLin nodded and glared at the LuLun family. Why are you staring at me?
Anyway, then the Luruns suddenly stretched and bent their bodies tremendously and started howling again.
“So you are the benefactors who saved me from the troll and I want to repay you? Still, these guys are polite. Hi-Hi.”
When Lu-Lun nodded, the head of the family exhaled and started pointing something to his wife, Lu-Lun, and held out his furry hand and motioned for us to follow him.
When I followed him, there was something similar to a wooden nest. Although it wasn’t much better than a human-built hut, it was at least enough space to lie down and sleep and avoid the rain.
“Hmm, I guess I’m being chased around and living in a place like this.”
The head of Lurun growled and gestured with his hands and began to pull out something from a nearby tree.
“You said you would give me that in exchange for your fur? “It’s a black guy.”
Even when I look at him, he looks black. It was black, but it looked like something I had seen before somewhere.
“They say it’s the food they enjoy eating. “It doesn’t look delicious!”
“Wait a minute, Lulin.”
With my eyes shining, I accepted the black lump that Lulun had passed over. And I smelled it. This lump and the smell.
No matter how you look at it, this is a truffle. Truffles.
These truffles are said to be thousands of times more valuable than pine mushrooms. Truffle in English. Truffle in French. It looks like a head of broccoli and is characterized by being black.
The price of this food ingredient is crazy, exceeding 100 million won for about 1.2 kg in modern times. Aside from the taste.
“You’re going to give me this? “Ask me, Lulin, if there are many of these.”
Lurin nodded with an eye that said she would not eat something like this. Then Lulun nods his head vigorously. Then he took out more truffles from inside the tree.
Then Lulun started pretending to sniff something.
“Rrrrrrrrrrun!”
“They said it was their staple food and that they could find it growing in the ground. “I don’t know why I’m proud to say that something like this is so great.”
“That’s not it.”
I spoke after stroking the head of Rurin, who had an incomprehensible expression on her face.
“For those who are familiar with it, it is called the greatest delicacy, and likes and dislikes vary from region to region, but it is worth it anyway.”
“Is this what you mean?”
Rurin took a bite of the truffle, showing curiosity. When I heard that it was called a delicacy, my curiosity seemed to explode. But soon he frowned.
When you eat those truffles for the first time, they give off a vague taste and scent, like a mixture of vinegar and meat. It won’t be a familiar taste to Lurin, who is used to the monton mushrooms I use.
But these truffles are of great value. Especially in modern times.
So, when summoning something, it is a better item than a gold bar to give in return.
“It’s not tasty, you!”
“are you okay. It’s expensive, so you can fully use it. “You mean you can find this?”
For a moment, I felt like I had to seduce Lulun. Rather than going extinct here anyway, wouldn’t it be better to manage the dragon rare and let them live in peace and get some truffles in return? All the family has to do is manage the rare.
Lulun, who was passing the truffles with an innocent face, was looking at Lurin, who had a tasteless expression, as if he couldn’t understand. It looks like something is sad.
“Rurururururururururun!”
“What is it this time?”
The Lulun family hugged each other again and began to tremble. The cries of trolls can be heard all around.
They may have summoned their entire clan with cries, but their numbers were incomparable to the trolls who had gathered earlier. Black trolls were coming from beyond the forest and from behind.
Perhaps the monsters that dominate this area that Lulin and I teleported to are these trolls.
“You idiots are here again.”
“I know.”
“Grurrrurun!”
“They told me to run away, but they ate something tasteless and their brains were weird.”
“No, there’s no harm in telling you to run away, right? Anyway. And it’s not that it’s not tasty. That’s because it’s one of the delicacies. Anyway, it worked out well. “There was something I wanted to try.”
I grabbed Lurin’s hand and pulled her back towards me and looked at the trolls. And then I started using mana.
Last night, I felt like I had surpassed my mana limit, obviously due to the influence of the dragon orb.
Could it be said that the flow of mana, which was thought to be trapped in infinite space, seems to have accepted the power of the bead and overflowed through the confined space like a wave?
It’s hard to express. So, I have no choice but to try the experiment myself. However, the test cannot be conducted in Gray City. There are too many eyes to see.
This wide northern land.
The only witnesses were Lurin and the monster.
So there is no suitable place for such experiments. I used Meteor, the strongest magic I know, as if I was conducting a nuclear test.
Mana touches the sky. And it spreads.
Coo coo coo coo!
A meteorite was summoned and began to fall towards the trolls who surrounded us. The size of the meteorite is like a bunch of trembling Luruns holding each other.
However, even this size exerts tremendous power. Because it is a magic that turns the area where it falls into a crater and devastates it.
However, Meteor itself is a magic that can still be used until now.
But at this moment, I have succeeded in summoning a total of 4 meteorites in all directions where the trolls are. Previously, there was only one. That was the limit of mana.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The usage of Meteor, which was just one, has now increased significantly. That’s my current mana. The power of the dragon bead was just as Lurin had said.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaaaang!
The hills collapsed in a total of four places, creating huge craters, devastating the trolls. The surviving trolls were scared and ran away, and what was left was a flat land.
Except for the small space where Lulin and the Lurun family were standing, the area was completely flat.
Dust rises everywhere.
“Oh oh! you! How did you become so strong before you knew it? “It’s you too!”
The dragon saw that and jumped into my arms with great joy.
