Chapter 627 – 627. God’s Atlantis
627. God’s Atlantis
Climbing the rocky mountain, Seira was very fast. When a yett slug appeared in front of him, he killed the yett without a moment to catch his breath. Yett’s corpse is left untreated.
If it had been an ordinary knight other than me, it would have been impossible to follow Seira.
Seira also climbed a rocky mountain in a straight line and suddenly took a turn. At first he thought he was going around to deal with the Yet Slug. However, after a while, I realized that Seira did not know the way.
‘Didn’t it be said that the murder of the Yet Slug Queen was originally handled by Woo Gum-gong himself?’
Since Seira would be her first, it was natural for her to wander on her path.
‘Looking at that, I can’t seem to guess where the Yet Slug Queen is.’
Of course, I don’t know where the Yet Slug Queen is either. And this could have been a good thing for me. If she finds and kills the Yet Slug Queen in an instant, the meaning I’ve been following will disappear.
When viewed from a distance, Mt. Yet appeared to be a mountain about the size of Mt. Jiri. It is impossible to search all of Yett Mountain in a day or two.
He came out of the city with great energy, but it was not easy when he tried to solve the problem.
I quietly followed her and approached the Yet Slug’s corpse. It was quite repulsive to see a large yellow slug dead and dripping with mucus.
The reason I approached Yet Slug was because of the Yet Powder. I’m thinking of making yett powder once. How to make it I’ve heard roughly before.
‘There are two reasons why jet powder is more expensive than drugs.’
One is that yett slugs are only found in this yett mountain, and the other is salt. Salt is not as expensive as it was in the old Middle Ages, but compared to modern times, salt is very expensive.
‘I can use it profusely because I just need to bring salt from reality.’
First, you have to wait for Yet Slug’s corpse to dry. When the body dries, it shrinks to about 50 cm.
‘I don’t have time to dry it.’
Right now, Seira was taking a short break. I had to follow her, so the free time I was given was about 15 minutes.
‘Thunderbolt.’
Blue thunderbolts splattered on her palms. A stream of electricity travels to the Yet Slug’s corpse. I was thinking of drying it using electric heat, but it didn’t work as well as I imagined. Yet Slug’s corpse began to boil.
‘…… Isn’t this Would it have been better to dry it with a hair dryer?’
I stopped my thunderbolt and stood still for a while. I was a little taken aback by the unexpected reaction.
‘Eh. I do not know.’
I took a bag of salt from my inventory and sprinkled the bubbling carcass of the Yet Slug. As soon as the corpse and the salt came into contact, a strange smell stung my nostrils. However, the smell soon disappeared and the bubbling corpse began to shrivel.
As time passed, white salt particles were left where the Yet Slug had been. It was a bit thick, but it was still powder. It was an amount that would not be less than 20g even if I scraped it all together.
‘…… What is it, success?’
A sprinkling of salt seemed to help. Either that or the electricity did something I can’t figure out.
‘They say that melting Yett slug with salt and burning it repeatedly produces fine Yet powder?’
I wasn’t sure if it was successful. It was very embarrassing.
I thought about it for a while, and then I got a thunderbolt in my palm again. An electric stream starts to burn the coarse jet dust that has fallen to the floor.
The jet dust disappeared as if evaporating into thin air.
‘This. This wasn’t… Well?’
Suddenly, the senses of the body became sensitive. It feels similar to when taking Yetgaru. The difference is that the senses are sharper now. The sound of the blowing wind grew louder, and the wind that touched my skin was like a small stone.
I cast my gaze away. Even without using mana, it seemed that his eyesight had more than doubled.
‘Did the jet dust enter through the bronchi when it vaporized?’
I was startled when I accidentally touched my chin. The texture felt strange. It was because the senses were too sensitive.
I laughed awkwardly. Because my senses were so sensitive, my body was not like my own. Even breathing was awkward, so I felt that I was getting mentally tired quickly.
‘For a moment. If you use this well….’
I looked at Seira from afar and rolled my head.
•••
“Kyung. How about stepping forward?”
I came out from behind her rock and approached her, revealing her figure. I didn’t panic. She knew that Seira had already noticed my presence.
“I’m glad you’re okay. Princess Seira.”
“Sir, you disobeyed my order casually.”
“I am not a knight of Arpis.”
“That’s right. Can I hit you?”
Seira clenched her fists. A bluish aura forms on her fist. It was clear that if it hit, it would break somewhere.
“I will decline. And Princess Seira seems to be having a hard time even though she went out with great energy.”
Seira’s face turned slightly red. She confidently solved her task. She left the city, but since she is lost, she must be ashamed of herself.
“I thought I would find the Yet Slug Queen soon. It’s a special monster that’s different from the normal Yet Slug, so it’s going to be different.”
“Did you use your senses to find the Yet Slug Queen?”
Seira nodded her head.
“I knew it would be possible,” She said. Because she was confident in her feelings.”
“Are you sure you just believed in that?”
“Her father said that where there are lots of Yet Slugs, there is a Yet Slug Queen. She thought she just needed to find a bunch of Yet Slugs well.”
“And you failed.”
“I have no face. I found several flocks of Yet Slugs, but no Yet Slug Queen. Right now, the number of Yet Slugs on this Yet Mountain is unusually high.”
“Wouldn’t the Yet Slug Queen be on top of the mountain? Usually, special monsters are located on the top of the mountain.”
“It is as the Lord said. So I’m going to go up to the top of Mt Yett. It will take some time, but….”
Yet Mountain was steep and high. Of course, there are no hiking trails. And a rocky mountain is not just a bunch of rocks. There were vegetation all over the mountain that the Yet Slugs feed on.
“I will follow.”
“You won’t listen to my orders. You are Baldert’s knight.”
There were thorns in Sayra’s words. It seems displeased that I simply disobeyed her orders.
I smiled and told her.
“Princess Seira. Do you have any food?”
“…….”
Seira shut her mouth. She thought the job would be easy and didn’t pack her rations. The only thing she took with her when she left the city was her greatsword, Zwei Hender.
“I brought a week’s worth of emergency food just in case.”
I proudly showed Seira the backpack on her back. I have an inventory, but I have no intention of giving it away. Inventory is so convenient. Sometimes you have to suffer.
“I think it’s fortunate that Kyung followed me.”
Saira said with a serious face. It’s already past noon. She hadn’t even had water since dawn.
“We’ll settle for a late lunch here.”
“I will.”
She handed her her emergency rations.
“Is this food?”
“It is the emergency food of the world I lived in. It is a slightly improved combat ration used by the military. Tasteless, but high in calories.”
Seira followed me to the emergency rations and widened her eyes.
“Isn’t this delicious enough?”
“…… Do you think this is delicious?”
“This is good enough. It’s the first time I’ve tasted it, and it’s amazing. What is the name of this dish?”
“It’s just fried rice. Even if I try again, it doesn’t taste good.”
“Even when she was at Kyungeun’s mansion, she didn’t always say that it was delicious.”
“Is it? The cuisine of the Duke of Arpis was good enough to eat.”
“Is it okay? Sir, your taste is much more advanced than mine.”
I couldn’t refute Seira’s words. Because it was true.
These days, most food feels tasteless. It tastes delicious when you eat it on an empty stomach, but in normal times, it’s all there.
One reason I guess.
[Baekhwan] Yuria’s cooking in the world. And the kitchen maid’s dishes taught by YuRia.
When the Michelin Guide comes to my mansion, I can be sure that there is a 100% chance that they will give it 3 stars.
“I lived thanks to Kyung.”
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
“It is not an empty word. There was no food, so I thought about returning. Thanks to Kyeong following me with food, I have been able to save face.”
“I must be resentful of the knights in the city.”
“That would not have happened. I would have packed my food and left for Mount Yett right away.”
After eating, we walked side by side to the top of the mountain. A bunch of jet slugs presented no problem to us. I didn’t even have to step out, as soon as she blew her blade, the slug just died.
I looked at Yet Slug’s corpse with eyes full of regret. I wanted to get the jet powder, but Seira noticed. Yet Slug is the property of the Arpis family.
We reached the top of the mountain as the sun began to set. It seemed that if I stretched out my hand, I could touch the clouds in the sky.
“I don’t know.”
“Yes?”
“The position of the Yet Slug Queen. I thought it would be near the summit, but I don’t see any regular Yet Slugs, let alone the Yet Slug Queen.”
“Don’t you know the characteristics of the Yet Slug Queen?”
“I don’t know anything other than that there are countless Yet Slugs around the Yet Slug Queen.”
“Well….”
I looked down the rocky mountain. Concentrating mana on his eyesight, he looked down and saw several groups of Yet Slugs. However, the Yet Slug Queen does not exist.
“Yet slug likes a shady spot like a slug.”
“Right.”
“Isn’t it likely that the Yet Slug Queen is also stuck in a shady place like a cave?”
“Your words are right. But I don’t know the geography of Mount Yett.”
“I don’t know either.”
“…….”
“…….”
We had a hunch That the hardships were wide open.
It was evening. I took a seat between the rocks where I could shelter from the wind. Unfortunately, there were no tents or blankets, so I had to fall asleep relying on my coat. It was fortunate that our bodies were not ordinary.
Seira had a rather dissatisfied expression.
“If your skills are on the level of Gyeong and I, there shouldn’t be any problem moving around at night, right? Do I really need to sleep?”
“Me and the princess are people too. A dark night makes people tired quickly and causes fatigue to accumulate. It’s dark and it’s hard to find Yet Slug Queen. It’s better to get some rest and be active during the day.”
“Kyung. Kill the Yet Slug Queen as soon as possible to make the city safe.”
“There are knights and soldiers in the city. Do you not trust them, Princess Seira?”
“…… Having said that, I have nothing to say.”
“Princess Seira. I am an expert in this field. Trust me and follow me.”
“… I get it. Make sure to wake up after 4 hours. I won’t forgive you if you treat me needlessly just because I’m a princess.”
“Don’t worry, I will wake you up like a knife. I like to sleep.”
I prefer to sleep with a woman. I swallowed the word in my mouth.
Seira looked at the night sky and closed her eyes.
I waited until she fell asleep. Of course, she doesn’t become completely defenseless. Touching her is ridiculous, and she will open her eyes just by getting close.
‘An hour has passed. She must have fallen into a deep sleep. I’ve been waiting for this moment.’
She took her bottle from her inventory.
Transparent bottle.
However, it contains a substance that vaporized jet dust.
Then he took a gas mask from his inventory and put it on her face.
「Purification gas mask
Purify the air
Rank: C」
She opened the mouth of the vial, guessing the direction of the wind. The colorless and odorless jet smoke was carried by the wind towards Seira. In less than a minute, her body twitched. I took another bottle from my inventory and opened the entrance.
‘When you wake up, you will be very sensitivehaha.’
Having used all 5 of her vials, I fell off her. Moved to hunt a Yet Slug nearby. It was necessary to replenish the jet smoke.
