Chapter 179 – The Singing Princess (3)

Rumble, rumble….

Dozens of wagons move in a row.

A pile of snowballs was blocking their movement, but the magic on the most advanced wagon melted the snow and somehow managed to move on.

“Wow… What principle is this?”
“Isn’t it a boiler?”
“Is the incoming wind warm?”

Nahee and Dahee laughed and opened and closed the windows in the carriage.

Thanks to the cold outside temperature, which fell below freezing, every time I opened the window, a strong wind rushed into the carriage.

However, the moment the cold wind entered the carriage, the wind lost its coolness and changed to warm air.

It was an overwhelming technology that could never be followed even on a scientifically developed earth.

“Don’t keep opening and closing it like that.”

“Why?”
“Aren’t you warm anyway?”

“It consumes magic stones faster.”

Saying so, Dojin pointed to the magic stone embedded in the wagon. As he said, several magic stones that were shining brilliantly before departure began to lose their brilliance.

The two said they didn’t know how to use magic stones in a place like this, and looked around the inside of the wagon with curious eyes.

‘I never thought it would be used in a place like this….’

And it was the same with Dojin. He didn’t show it, but he never dreamed that the magic stone dropped by the monster he hunted would be used in this way.

It wasn’t for nothing that the Mage Tower boasted a larger size and majesty than the lord’s castle. Magic was close to real life, and people in another world had already reached a point where they could not imagine life without magic.

No matter how much an adventurer digs up magic stones, if they don’t process them into magic tools in the magic tower, they’re just shiny stones.

Do-jin, who glanced at the ceiling, found Emilia still sitting in a stiff posture and tapped her on the shoulder her.

“What are you doing? Relax.”

“Yes. No, I see… Master.”

After getting on the carriage, she was distracted by all sorts of questions from the women, and she said, ‘Where is this place? Who am I?” She sat blankly.

She would have to move on for another week, but Do-jin, thinking that her body would soon be strained if she stayed in such a rigid posture, corrected her posture.

“No, you don’t have to do this, you can…….”

“Then why don’t you keep going like that? No matter how adventurous you are, your body will break.”

“… If so.”

After staring at the girls for a moment, Emilia carefully relaxed and leaned against her carriage.

The carriage, decorated with the finest leather and magic, comfortably accommodated her body. Her body her, which was tense in the middle of the day, was relieved of tension, and when the cozy sofa was combined, she quickly fell asleep.

While Emilia fell asleep without being able to overcome her drowsiness, the other children began to fall asleep one by one.

Dojin also yawned as she watched her children her.

“Um… I’ll be fine for a little bit-“

And at that moment, Dojin’s intuition started to sound an alarm. For some unknown reason, she felt it was very dangerous to fall asleep now.

Feeling strange, she energized her ears to survey the situation outside her. Even outside, I could only hear people’s peaceful breathing and snoring, but I didn’t feel anything dangerous…….

‘…… Can’t you hear the conversation?’

At this moment, no one was talking. Realizing this fact, Do-jin immediately got out of the carriage and climbed onto the ceiling.

The coachman who operated the wagon, the mercenary who followed for escort, the adventurer, the merchant, the wizard, and the paladin were all dozing off.

‘What is this….’

Do-jin went inside the carriage again and tried to wake Emilia and Seo-yoon by touching them. However, the two showed no signs of waking up as if they had passed out.

“Seoyun! Emilia! Eunha!”

I grabbed the shoulders of the children who might be useful in battle and shook them violently, but they didn’t even budge.

It was the same when he left the wagon and woke up the coachman, mercenary, paladin, or saint.

Everyone was deeply asleep.

“What the heck—”

Dojin grabbed the hilt of his sword and looked around. It was not a normal situation. Even just looking at it, there is a situation where there is an attack of something.

“It’s no use.”

As he watched his surroundings like that, he heard a sound behind him. Surprised Do-jin swung his sword and aimed it at his back, and Raize saw the sword fly over his head and opened his mouth with a slight frown.

“Should I say that I’m lucky because I’m short… Tsk. Why don’t you look at who it is and wield it?”

“…… Laize.”

“If it wasn’t for me, I would have died. I know that?”

“…… Sorry.”

Do-jin apologized to her and delivered her sword. I wondered if her people had brought her back to her senses one by one, but she still could n’t open anyone’s eyes except her.

“What’s the matter anyway?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

After making his fingers wet with saliva, he lifted them up into the air to check the wind direction. The wind was not very strong. However, he was slowly gathering towards the carriage.

Sniff, this time sniffing his nose and taking in the cold air. Her brain her begins to interpret the components of the air she has taken into her body her.

Her magic she detects an ingredient distinctly different from her usual air her, and presents her with a detailed list of ingredients.

“Um, passing out from too much nitrogen.”

“…… Too much nitrogen?”

“Yes. Passed out from lack of oxygen. Ah, what is oxygen-.”

“I know that much.”

“…… Okay?”

Rajee looked at her Dojin with a look of surprise. I would have thought that Do-jin knew information about the atomic theory, which was just beginning to be studied even among magicians.

“Isn’t that important?”

“Right.”

However, the important thing now is not whether Dojin knows the atomic theory, but why the nitrogen distribution has increased.

There is no effect without a cause. There must be a reason why only Dojin and Raize opened their eyes to the sudden phenomenon.

The reason why only the two of them woke up while the level 4 Charlotte and the hero Emilia were asleep…….

‘Toxicity… Immune?’

Dojin realized that Raize and himself had something in common. Both are immune to poison and medicine.

Do-jin, who obtained the all-poison needle with the power of skill, and Rise, who acquired drug resistance through all sorts of experiments from a young age.

What if the reason people fell asleep suddenly was because of those drugs?

“…… Laize.”

“Yes.”

“Something like a drug that puts people to sleep, doesn’t it?”

“Then, of course not.”

“So, which animal naturally produces the drug?”

“Quite a lot.”

In a different world, many things different from reality, animals the size of dinosaurs still fly in the sky, and a demonic beast that puts people to sleep with their breath could exist.

Realizing the possibility after hearing Dojin’s words, Rise thought of a creature that would be active in the winter and put such a large number of people to rest.

As a result of mobilizing all unrealistic possibilities, a beast appeared in Rise’s head his.

“…… No way.”

“Why?”

Raize looked around. He thought only that the fog caused by the blizzard was a natural phenomenon.

Actually, that wasn’t it.

“Horror Woong…….”

It was an animal known as a creature of legend, just like a dragon. It must be a fantasy animal created by exaggerating the traveler’s myths that cannot actually exist.

Raize lightly raised his hand and used magic. The gas that filled the surroundings was blown away by the wind, and a gigantic hill that had been spitting out the gas in the distance appeared.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a mountain. It was a large polar bear with white fur. In the snowy winter, I was just spitting sleeping gas at them disguised as snowy mountains.

“…… That one.”

Seeing that huge torso, Rize slightly frowned. Since ancient times, grotesquely large objects tend to induce fear.

It was the same with the white bear, which was bigger than a few buildings. The moment those forepaws headed toward the carriage procession, the people who were asleep would have died without any resistance.

The horror hero who caught his appearance slowly raised his body. It was a slow movement, but considering its gigantic size, it was quite fast.

“You have to run…….”
“Hey.”

Sereung-.

Dojin pulled out his sword and stepped forward.
Seeing this, Raize was frightened and tried to stop him.

“What are you doing? We must run away quickly.”
“What if I run away now? You want to throw away all the people sleeping here?”
“Yeah…….”

If you made a reasonable choice, it was the right choice.
Can’t I just throw away my own life to save dozens of sleeping people?

Even more so, there was no guarantee that the lives of dozens of others could be saved by giving up one’s life.

However, Dojin did not think so.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen a monster like that.’

The dungeon ruler I met on the 30th floor was the only monster of the same size as the horror hero in front of me.

Surprisingly, the monsters in the dungeon weren’t that big.

So, it wasn’t arrogance to face the monster in front of me right now.

It was a means of confirming one’s own growth and thereby escaping from the shackles that bound him.

“It’s nothing like that.”

He smiled and pointed his sword. And immediately, he blew magic into his demonic sword.

The ability of the magic sword that had been sealed is awakened, and the ultimate skill that can cut anything blooms.

─Guooooo…… !

Perhaps realizing that Do-jin was sticking his teeth into him, Horror-woong approached while lifting his huge body.

It looked like a meteorite falling from the sky…… Dojin moved forward without fear.

Raizen stared blankly at the figure, then began to do what he could.

Waking people up. So, helping Dojin.

* * *

Cooong! Quaang!

“Um…….”

Waking up with the sound of a bomb exploding, Kahi slowly stretched and twisted her body around.

Taking her breath away, she looked around and realized that Do-jin was not there.

‘Where did you go?’

Come to think of it, the carriage seemed to have stopped before I knew it. Do you have a break in the middle?

In response to the sudden rush of urine, Kahi carefully opened the door and stepped out.

Wheein-!

“Kyaaak!?”

The moment I opened the door, a strong wind blew in. The cold wind that shook her limbs made her realize that she had been riding in a magic wagon just before.

“Ugh, why is it so cold…….”

After getting off the carriage, she looked around her and realized that she was a mercenary and a wizard, and she was staring blankly at the same place.

Looking at the same figure enough to cause a little fear, her gaze naturally went to the same place as others.

“…… Uh?”

And there was Do-jin.

A small man was fighting a monster as big as a mountain.

She watched the myth, which she was hard to believe even after seeing it with her own eyes, in a daze.
