Episode 536 To the kingdom of Heron (2)
With food and other items necessary for the trip taken away, the party became like beggars.
The man escorting me muttered as if lamenting.
“I didn’t expect to be camping again late at night.”
Not only did they not know that the normal village would turn into a bandit’s den in an instant, nor did they know that their food would be taken away by the powerless villagers.
“Even if I regret it now, it is too late. So why didn’t you stop the young master earlier?”
“Who would have thought things would turn out this way? Phew… Let’s move diligently and find a place to sleep before dawn.”
“I will.”
Looking at the situation outside, Ray opened the carriage door and came out when it seemed that there was no countermeasure.
“The terrain here is rough, so it will be difficult to find a suitable place to stay. Rather than looking for a flat place, try to find a place where you won’t be attacked by monsters.”
The men agreed to his advice.
“It would be nice to have a closed back.”
“Hurry up. If the monsters start to smell it, it’s wrong to sleep today.”
At that, the men hurriedly began to move.
* * *
While Gide and the men rode their horses and explored the surroundings, Ray glanced around and noticed.
After walking away from the carriage for a long time, Ray kicked the ground a few times with the tip of his toe, as if he had found a suitable place.
“This is great.”
He memorized the starter word.
“Wind cutter.”
Sasasasak-!
A blade of wind swept through the forest once.
As the giant trees were cut down like millet cans, his hand quickly turned to the ground.
“Dig.”
The huge tree and its stump, which had been cut off unsightly, quickly disappeared beneath the ground.
It was as if the skin had opened its mouth and swallowed the forest.
Ray, who had built a great campground without anyone knowing, shook his hands.
The slope was still a little rough, but at this level, it would not be a big problem to sleep.
To him, who had lived in the harsh environment of the dungeon in the first place, this level of sleep was not a problem.
On the contrary, it is not strange if they are happy that they have found a good resting place.
“Now I have to make it so that they discover it naturally.”
The search ability of Gide and the men Ray saw was almost non-existent.
Heaven help, but it was hard to imagine them finding a place so remote.
ok
After thinking for a while, Ray eventually moved to the carriage.
* * *
After searching around for a while, Gide and the men eventually trudged back to the carriage with their shoulders drooping.
“The terrain is rough because there are huge mountain ranges around.”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have gone back to the Celia border.” I tried to regret it, but it was already too late.
When they put their heads together and think about countermeasures.
From one side, Ray straddled with several fish tied to a tree branch and draped over his shoulder.
It seems that it has been wrapped up to the neck, and the hair is exceptionally shiny.
“Where the hell have you been, Baron Son?”
When the man asked, Ray pointed his finger at the back of the carriage.
“I heard the sound of the water, so I walked and luckily there was a valley. This is the dinner we caught there.”
Talk and shake the fish.
The appearance was so naive that the men even laughed for some reason.
“If the water is flowing, it will also erase our smell from the monsters.”
“ha ha ha. It is fortunate that the ears of self-control are clear.”
fortunately out of misfortune
The men put their hands on Ray’s shoulders and praised him.
“I lived thanks to self-control. Actually, Lady Sylveria tends to cover up her bed a lot. Even though it is a valley in the mountains, if you know that there is a place to wash, you will surely like it.”
“There are very few people who can help you when you need them. As expected, the young master has eyes for people.”
Praise makes even whales dance?
Ray, who was in a good mood, smirked.
“Then let’s start the wagon right away. Would you mind guiding me?”
“sure. You can go straight ahead.”
In the meantime, Ray even sat down on the coachman’s seat and gave directions.
The carriage’s horsehead headed as he pointed.
* * *
After 10 minutes of driving, there was a campsite where the valley flowed just as he had said.
Gide and the men opened their mouths because it was a much more proper place than they thought.
“It’s a slope, but I didn’t know there was a place as good as this.”
There were no trees or bushes in the area where they were, as if someone had arbitrarily cut them down.
It was a little strange to see only one place empty in the lush forest, but what is it?
Wouldn’t it be enough if they could just rest comfortably?
The excited men didn’t even notice the difference.
“I’ll pack my things right away. Can you help me light the fire?”
Making a fire is now a way of life for Ray.
Starting with learning bellows from the Dwarf blacksmith, Derp, his fire skills reached the peak in the dungeon.
I brought dry grass and twigs and stroked them a few times, and soon smoke rose up.
Tadaktadak-
I put the fish in between the bonfires that were burning beautifully, and the savory scent soon spread out.
Silveria, who had been quiet in the carriage until now, carefully opened the carriage door and came out.
“Don’t smell delicious.”
Seeing him throw away his face and take up his seat, it seems that he was still hungry.
I just starved for a day or so, but I couldn’t stand it.
‘Looks like he’s grown quite nicely.’
After arranging the straw and blankets, Gide and the men gathered around the bonfire and sat down.
“I thought you were going to starve today.”
“You have been blessed by your self-control. I’m sorry that the fun trip was made difficult because of our young master.”
Their way of speaking towards Ray was also not the same as before.
Gide also expressed his gratitude to the men who even greeted him politely.
“Scion, Baron Soleil. I owe a lot to you today. If I go back to the manor, I really want to repay you.”
“What kind of recompense is a reward like this?”
The return of the count family is by no means small.
If it was an ordinary aristocratic son, he would not have refused, but the way he shook his head as if nothing had happened was even modest at first glance.
He has a good personality and there is no place to criticize his appearance.
Even though there was no mana felt in the body, and the title of the family was only a baron, it seemed that there was no shortage of being with Silveria.
The men who had been secretly trying to drive him out were now subtly acknowledging him as their family’s son-in-law.
After gathering and chatting, the fish the size of a fist was quickly grilled.
Ray held out a skewer to them.
Strangely, the numbers do not match.
The men who took the grilled fish one by one tilted their heads.
“Where is your share?”
Ray scratched the back of his head shyly.
“The valley is small, so there are not many fish.”
her.
The men almost missed the skewer.
If so, does this mean that this fish was caught to feed themselves, not to eat?
He said.
“I’m fine, so let’s eat.”
Even Sylveria, who had looked at him unfavorably from inside the carriage, choked.
“Come on, son-in-law. I’ll share my share. I’m the news from the beginning…”
Ray waved his hand at her consideration.
“It’s the same with being hungry and having a hard time. There is no need to decline.”
Will they notice and not be able to eat properly?
Ray got up from his seat and walked away.
Sylveria was a little embarrassed.
Previously, I thought he was rude and inconsiderate, but what he just showed was clearly friendly and considerate.
When he said his last words with a wry smile, it was painful to the heart.
‘…Was I too harsh on the carriage?’
Despite ignoring them by treating them as completely absent, he went looking for a place to stay and even prepared a meal for them.
Silveria was also weak-minded, so she regretted little by little.
The escorts took a bite of the small fish.
“…delicious.”
“This is the best fish I have ever eaten.”
“…You owe a great favor to the son of the baron.”
Gide was also greatly moved by him.
‘There must have been a reason why God chose them all.’
When others praise you as a saint, you usually become arrogant.
But even though they had that much power and power, they didn’t have enough humility to do so for themselves rather than for me.
This kind of treatment had never been received even in the kingdom.
They looked at the direction where Ray disappeared with one eye until they were pious at first glance.
* * *
Ray smirked as he moved away from the wagon.
“Heh heh. What kind of fish is a fish that freezes to death? How can you fill your stomach with a fish the size of a child’s fist?”
He spread his excitement widely.
Even so, his spirit, which had become more sophisticated than before, made up his mind and began to search.
Ray, who passed by small animals and was searching for large prey, kicked the ground to see if he had found a suitable target.
Gathering mana with the tip of his toe and shooting it as if it were bouncing, he quickly passed three or four trees.
It was as if I sensed something ominous.
A wild boar hiding in the bushes hastily turned around.
But by then it was already too late.
When Ray’s grip aimed at the vital spot, the wild boar died without even screaming.
“It’s more meat than seafood.”
The dismantling skills he had done in the dungeon were unquestionably displayed.
In an instant, the boar was skinned and gutted, leaving only the flesh.
If anyone had seen it so fast, they would have thought it was a wild boar undressing itself.
Ray even blocked the sound with a mana curtain around him just in case.
“Silence.”
With skillful hands, the fire was lit and the meat was raised.
Juice drips from the fresh wild boar meat.
As they rode in the wagon, Ray noticed the hostility towards him.
The first time I felt it was the escorts, and the second was from Sylveria.
He never forgot it.
The reason he gave fish to Gide must be because he handed over the food to the bandits without a moment’s hesitation.
“That’s why people should live kindly.”
Contrary to Gide’s idea, the saint chosen by God was really naive and had a dirty personality.
