Chapter 204 – Valley of the Dragon (02)

‘What was it like originally?’

There wasn’t much going on in the Dragon Slayer’s Village, and the story ended with Kei joining here based on his likability.

Rather, it should be said that the story is longer as it involves making a contract with a dragon living in seclusion in the Valley of the Dragon and destroying the village of dragon slayers right in front of you.

“So, is being a dragon slayer fun?”

“It makes my blood boil! But if you ask me if it’s fun, it’s actually not fun! It’s something I do for a living!”

Wow, my ears are pounding and I’m dying. My sense of smell adapts quickly, but my hearing doesn’t work well.

“Why are you taking the risk of capturing the Hydra clan? You don’t want to fight with the Duke faction, or you don’t want to kill people…”

“There is no such thing! It’s just that killing people doesn’t make money! It’s better to kill a wyvern or a drake that can make money!”

“Then do you want to join the royal faction?”

“Hmm?”

Kay was troubled by my question.

“Money! How much will I give you!”

At those words, I looked back at the Sailyan.

“20,000 points per month.”

“It’s less?!”

“There is nothing we can do because the budget is tight. And we provide daily necessities to the family.”

“I have a huge family! Is that okay?”

“How many people?”

“About 35 people!”

Since he was the young head of the household in charge of a clan of dragon slayers, he seemed to have to feed about 35 people.

“Hey, I’m the king, so can’t I provide that much support? That’s…”

When Cylian was about to say that he was just supporting me, I interrupted him.

Since Kay had trouble hearing what she was saying anyway, she had to check both the shape of her mouth and her voice to be able to talk properly, so it was easy for her to cut off Sailian’s speech just by slightly blocking her path her her.

“If you enlist your family in the kingdom’s army, they will accept it.”

“What? You don’t have to put those conditions on…”

When I gave her a quick look, Cylian shut her mouth, but Kay also listened to my conditions, thought for a moment, and then nodded her head.

“Good! Of course, I just have to follow my friends, and it would be better for my family to enlist than farm in the current situation anyway.”

I don’t know if it was because of Cylian’s presence her her or because Kay’s likeability her her her was high, but it was easily resolved just by her conversation her her her.

“Oh, by the way, I’m going to clean up the wyvern I’m working on! If you leave it for too long, the texture won’t be good!”

Seeing Kay entering the workshop… No, the dragon slayer’s village, the Cylian tapped my side and asked.

“What’s wrong? If I just accept Kay, I can take responsibility for her family.”

“No matter how strong a dragon slayer Kei is, he cannot be on all fronts. We need more dragon slayers.”

As if he hadn’t even thought of that, the Cylian opened his eyes wide and looked back at me.

“Are you saying the enemy will be different in the future?”

“Okay.”

From now on, the operative faction will completely capture the Wyvern Riders who handle the Wyverns, and the Wyverns will gradually appear on the battlefield.

Moreover, it was time for the Dragonians and Dragonians, who had evil tendencies and wanted the extinction of humans, to appear.

That’s why it’s easier to have dragon slayer Kei and his family around him.

Of course, Kay can be deployed right away, but her family needs some adjustment time, so she came here first to join Kay first and make the rest of the family into anti-wyvern and anti-dragonian units.

‘And actually, there are other reasons as well’

We succeeded in recruiting Kay and her family, but Kay asked us to dismantle and take all the wyvern meat we were working on, so we installed a signal here so that members of the Alphyrio caravan could come.

“Oh, and leather!”

“Leather?”

“Wyvern’s skin that deflects arrows! And Drake’s scales that block even swords!”

Kay took me and Sailyan to a warehouse inside the Dragon Slayer’s Village, and inside there were hides that Kay had personally tanned, arranged by color.

‘How many fish did you catch?’

There was a huge amount of wyvern skins lying around inside, enough to worry about the Dragon Valley ecosystem.

– Wyvern Leather (Advanced) –

– It is a tough and hard leather. However, it is too thick and feels heavy when worn –

– Only craftsmen with special processing abilities can manufacture it into armor –

– In order to make an item, you need top-level leather cutting skills –

Although the color was different, the wyvern leather was a pretty neat item.

Just to be sure, Sailyan took out a sword and drew a line on the leather. There were only scratches on the surface, but the leather did not immediately crack or tear.

‘Are you okay?’

However, the thickness is almost as long as a finger, so wouldn’t it be heavy and make you stumble when you wear it?

– Drake’s Scale (Intermediate) –

– These are the hard scales of a dragon race. Harder than most steel –

– I think I can make small accessories or shields –

– Drake’s Fang (Lesser) –

– It is a hard fang of a dragon race –

– I think I can make necklaces or other decorations –

“Because I’m a friend! I’ll give it to you cheaply!”

The Cylians were also showing interest in whether they liked some things, but I knew that.

‘These items… Are actually items exclusively for dragon slayers’

In fact, other leather armor characters who lack strength cannot wear it, and even if they can wear it, they reject it due to an instinctive aversion to this fishy-smelling leather.

Well, it seems like the Cylians are greedy, but there is no problem in slightly processing these leathers to make accessories or accessories.

“Okay, I’m buying everything!”

“As expected, Your Majesty, you are so big!”

They had to wait for someone from the Alphyrio caravan to come and take these loads and for Kay to call his family and persuade them to join the kingdom’s army.

In the meantime, while I was here, I decided to visit other factions as well.

“I’m going to go to the valley for a bit. Inori is waiting here too.”

At those words, Inori stuck her head out from the shadows and pouted her lips inside her mask, but when the shadow tapped her lips, she escaped without a word and joined the group.

“I’ll be back by this evening.”

“If you go to a dangerous place, come with me.”

Marian tried to follow me with a sword, but I tried to shake her head, but then I thought that Marian would be fine, so I nodded.

“Okay. Just follow Marian for a moment.”

“Master, then me too.”

“No, Inori is here. I’ll call you if I need you.”

Leaving behind Inori, who drooped her shoulders sullenly, I started climbing the rope installed next to the dragon slayer’s village with Marian.

At first, it was just climbing up the rope ladder, but as the road got steeper, it changed to almost climbing up the rope, and later it became a situation where you had to jump from rope to rope.

Then, if you end up rock climbing while holding on to the steep path of the cliff with only your toes, you won’t be able to hold on even more.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a cliff, it was a slippery cliff with water splashing incessantly, so if you were a little careless, you could fall to your death.

“Is this the right road?”

“That’s right.”

Marian asked while taking in the water pouring down like a waterfall through the valley, and this was the reason Marian was brought here.

When Inori was brought in, the shadow would shake and there was a risk that [Shadow Ninjutsu] Would suddenly be released and fall, and I think that Melissa and Golem No. 2 would have difficulty flying properly due to the pouring water droplets.

So in the end, only characters with excellent physical strength can come, maybe like me or Marian?

Cylian and Kay could also come, but Kay could not be brought here due to circumstances, and since Cylian is the king, he cannot be sent to do dangerous work.

Even if you’re injured, I can heal you with my abilities if you’re a woman, but if you’re a Cylian… Well, even if I could, I wouldn’t do it.

“Marian.”

As her I wrapped the rope around her waist and handed it to her, her Marian tied the rope around her own forearm and she drove her Highborne sword, which she was holding, into her her wall of her her.

First, she grabbed the rope tied around her waist with her hands, adjusted her length, kicked the wall, and jumped into the waterfall.

Pungdeoong!

As I entered the pouring water, I began to fall along the slippery wall to the bottom.

Then, she noticed the protruding part that caught on her palm and grabbed it with one hand.

‘Okay, I got this…!’

Slippery!

However, perhaps because of the moss and water flow, my hands slipped and I lost sight of the stone root, and I fell…

Poop!

“Hehe!”

I didn’t do it, but thanks to Marian holding me, I was able to hang on.

“Marianne! Pull!”

When I asked with a ‘voice’, Marian immediately pulled me in. She looked surprised and worried for a moment as I saw her being splashed with water and her head swollen from being hit by a rock.

“What happened? Are you okay?”

“I found the location. All I have to do is run again.”

If I hadn’t brought Marian, I would have fallen off the cliff to my death or broken somewhere.

Conversely, I can make Marian run, but I’m the only one who uses the ‘wooden sword’.

“Here we go again!”

Jumping down once again, it flows down along the stream.

Then, towards the rock root that slipped slightly earlier, put the clasps in both hands and hold on to that location as if you were hooking it.

This way, you can catch it no matter how much it slips!

Pop!

Thanks to my superhumanly enhanced abilities, I managed to grab the rock root and managed to get over the pouring stream of water and get on top of it.

Ji-Ik.

I tried to pull out the wooden sword using [Shadow Pouch], But it was difficult because the stream of water scattered the light, but I was able to crouch down to create a shadow for myself and barely pull out the wooden sword.

Pugh!

Then he hits a part of the cliff.

Since the inside was empty, the entire cliff did not collapse, but only the stones in that area were smashed and pulled inside, and only then did I go inside and pull the rope.

“Marian. So…”

Shoot!

Before I could explain with my voice, Marian jumped into the stream first.

He pulled Marian’s hand briefly and pulled the rope briefly, and it was only when she was safely inside that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

As I watched her examining her my soaked body of hers, I somehow remembered the times when she referred to me as her younger sister hers, and I felt awkward.

“Well, my back hurts a little.”

“Okay. As long as you don’t get hurt, that’s fine.”

Of course, the level of comfort was different from back then.

“But where is this place?”

I told Marian the truth when she asked.

“The real Valley of the Dragon.”

It’s not just a scaled dragon race like a wyvern or a drake.

“This is where the real dragon sleeps.”
