Chapter 1361 – [Abeth’s Dream]

We arrived so close that we could see the capital of Abes Kingdom. At this point, there were many people gathering from all directions, and moreover, it was even more crowded because there were many people thanks to the Pungnyeongje race.

Abes could fly, so it wasn’t really a city with walls, but the place that looked like a castle built in the center was in the shape of a weathered giant rock, and it was a castle that felt like a stone cave made by digging and polishing it a little more.

Maybe that’s where King Abes lives. It seems that it took a lot of time and trouble to make it by digging it based on naturally cut stones.

On the one hand, it seems like a king because he can spend such manpower and funds. He may not be too extravagant, but if the king is not too extravagant, he shouldn’t be too extravagant. It’s because the dignity doesn’t live up to the smallest, and the money spent on luxury doesn’t circulate.

“How do I get in? Do I just go in normally?”

“At this point, the news that we’re coming should have spread. There won’t be a big fuss when we go in…”

[Then I’ll have to go back to the main body in a while]

“Well, this trip didn’t come quietly, so that’s fine.”

Yessto returned to the main body after a while. It is not the size of a chicken dove seen at home, but reveals a gigantic majesty as if seeing a phoenix in a legend.

I don’t know when he was small, but he’s pretty cool when he’s grown up. It seemed to show the appearance of the owner of the sanctuary.

“Fly up, Suzaku!”

[No!!!!! Why do you have to say something like that!

“Ah, now that I think about it, I thought. What does Fulstead look like? If it looks like a bird, doesn’t it overlap with you?”

[You don’t have to worry about that. Because Fulsted is a horse-shaped spirit]

“Speaking of which, on the other hand, I feel like a wind spirit.”

Come to think of it, the owner of the sanctuary where the cats, Katsis, was Jerosto, and his form was a bird. If he was influenced by the main race of the country where the sanctuary is located, Yesto should have been a cat from the beginning. Chishirba in the Water Spirit Sanctuary should have been in the form of an Aif or a monkey.

This is because there were spirits before intelligence. Of course, there were humans before that, but those who perished were not part-timers.

Anyway, we rode on the back of Yesto and flew towards the capital of Abes Kingdom. It stands out, of course, attracts people, and there are a number of Abbes who are surprised by flying around us.

“Stop, no way……!!!!”

“I am the owner of the sanctuary!!!! You really came!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!!!”

We head straight to the castle, but we don’t go inside the castle. Even so, going inside the palace is frankly rude.

Instead, it lands in an empty lot in front of the royal palace. Abes who followed us, as well as other races including Paret who lived in the royal palace, crowded around and welcomed us and cheered. On the other hand, it felt like a place where migratory birds flocked because it felt like a bird’s cry was also mixed in.

Soon, someone came out of the palace. Likewise, Abbess, but wearing leather armor to protect the body and even wearing goggles to protect the eyes, Abbess knights dressed in pretty cool equipment greeted us.

“Welcome, the owner of the sanctuary, Mr. Yessto, and his contractors, and his companions. We have been waiting for you.”

[Sorry for the sudden flight]

“No. You could have entered the palace right away, but considering that you have taken care of us like this, I am rather grateful. Oh, let’s eat inside, Your Highness is waiting for you.”

[I get it]

Yesto became small again, and we followed the knights inside.

And then I look around. The huge palace made by digging out weathered stones, on the other hand, was so beautiful and had its own style that I wondered how they built it while the level of technology was still in the Middle Ages. If Shion had seen it, it would have been admirable.

“Ah, this is a castle built with the help of Cutsy. If we had purely tried to build a castle using woodpecker carvers, we wouldn’t have been able to build it even if it took a thousand years.”

“Okay”

“The present Abeth Castle is made by digging out the inside of a huge rock that has been weathered and cut away by the wind from the Storm Zone Sanctuary with the help of Cutsie, who made a contract with the earth spirit, and sculpted it in detail.”

“It’s very cool.”

“I don’t think you’ve visited the Cutthy Kingdom yet, but you’ll be more impressed when you visit there later.”

On the one hand, it seems to be saying that the construction ability of the Cutshi Kingdom is superior to that of this royal castle… Being able to say that openly does not mean that I do not particularly care about the dignity of the royal family or things like that, but it is acknowledged that the construction ability of the Cutsey is superior to that extent. It seemed to do so.

Hmmm, I like the personality of these guys. Every time I come here, I feel at ease.

There is no need to judge once destroyed, and in addition to that, the intelligence is not human, and they live peacefully without war. Aren’t most of the things that happened here also nothing to worry about?

What happened in the kingdom of Aif was caused by the nuclear weapons left by humans before the destruction, so let’s move on.

Anyway, we entered the palace and soon we were able to have an audience with the king of Abes Kingdom. The Abes here were not one species, but several species, and the king wondered what kind of bird it was, and the moment he saw it, he knew.

All black feathers. It is recognizable at a glance thanks to its distinctive color. King Abes is a crow.

“It’s a great honor to come at such a good festival time. I am the King of Abes Kingdom, Morgan Crow.”

“Nice to meet you, Your Highness”

“I knew about the news that he was coming, but I didn’t go out to meet him on purpose. Hearing about the events in the Kingdom of Kartsi and Aif, he seemed to enjoy the trip, but I thought that we wouldn’t spoil the trip by saying we were treating him. “

“Thank you for your consideration. As Your Highness said, I enjoy traveling, so that consideration was very helpful in building memories.”

Pretty, no, pretty good consideration. We didn’t intend to walk around like nobles while being treated well on this trip, so we didn’t want to be openly escorted by the royal family.

It may be comfortable then, but on the other hand, it also causes discomfort because you can’t move around freely. It’s because I can’t even look around the market in town.

Since it’s the kingdom of the Abbesses, it would be quick to contact them separately or get news or rumors……. Since we’ve been traveling here for a while, we could analyze our information and judge our tendencies if we had the brains. That’s it

Seeing that he understands this, he’s a king whose head is spinning. Is it because the foundation is a crow?

Originally, crows are one of the smartest birds. If you look further, there are magpies and parrots, but anyway, it makes a lot of sense to see that one of them, a crow, is king.

After that we were invited to dinner. The banquets of each country, on the other hand, were able to know the culture of the place, and the Abes kingdom consisted of fruits, grains, and rarely insect dishes.

Honestly, this would be natural. Originally, birds feed on worms.

“I hope it fits in your mouth.”

“Yes, thank you”

The dishes were quite tasty. The level of insect cooking itself was not as good as Aif Kingdom, but it was pretty good nonetheless.

There were also dishes like pineapple pizza with fruit on top of a rice cracker, but it’s a bit hard to say something with that…… Anyway.

After eating, we talked separately. About the purpose of our coming this time and about Johnny’s participation in the Wind Spirit Festival.

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes, it was very delicious. I think it’s a good dish to the extent that I can feel that Your Highness has treated it.”

“That’s fortunate. But that’s why…”

“Yes, the story of the wind rite.”

“That’s right, it looks like you have something to say too.”

“Yes, so let’s talk slowly.”

King Abes and I talked about various things as well as the Wind Spirit Festival. King Abes was quite wise, so he was quite worthwhile to talk to.

If you’re smart, there are cases where you use that head to be overly greedy, but he didn’t. That’s why I like it quite a bit.

“Your Highness, I have one request, would you please?”

“What is it?”

“I know that the application for participation in the Wind Spirit Festival has already been completed, but if possible, I would like the child who guided us to participate. I would like you to participate.”

“Hmm……”

“It’s not like asking for convenience at the Pungnyeong Festival. As long as you let me participate, you don’t have to worry about it after that. It’s just asking for a chance.”

“If it’s like that, I understand. If it wasn’t fair, I would have rejected it, but if it was simply asking for a chance… So I’ll do my best to help you participate.”

“Thank you very much, Your Highness”

“Instead, about this wind bell festival…”

“Ah, I’m thinking of stopping by the Stormzone Sanctuary before the Wind Spirit Festival opens in earnest.”

“Is that so? Then I guess there’s no need to worry.”

To be honest, I don’t like this type of position too much, but I still do it because I need it to achieve my goal.

If you want to live alone in the world, you can do it, but it becomes difficult……. I am the king of the devil who controls society in my own way, so I know how to behave while cosplaying at times like this.

After talking about this and that with King Abes, we decided to go one step ahead and visit the Stormzone Sanctuary. Oh, but Johnny doesn’t go there with him.

“If you go together, there may be a problem of fairness. They allowed me to participate, so I have to do that to avoid getting into gossip.”

“It was late to participate, but I’m grateful that I was able to participate. Thank you very much.”

“With something like this. But it’s up to you to get good grades. So work hard.”

“Yes, I understand!!!!”

We’ve given him some support, such as training him and making pemmicans to eat during the race, but in the end, he’s the only one who flies. So, if you don’t work hard, it’s meaningless.

Even if I can’t finish it, my goal this time is to get good grades if I’m more greedy. To be honest, I don’t even want to win.

But I wish you all the best. I may not know later, but at least to the point where I have no regrets right now.

After that, we decided to stop by the Stormzone Sanctuary separately. If there’s one thing that’s fortunate, it’s that there’s no problem with transportation because Yesto is a spirit in the form of a bird, so you can fly to it.

[No matter how windy it is, it’s called the Sanctuary of the Storm Zone, but if I go there, there will be no problem. Small and weak wind spirits won’t be able to hinder my path]

“Well, the division commander is passing by, but it’s hard for a private soldier to stop him.”

The wind in the Storm Zone Sanctuary is, after all, the work of the wind spirit. As long as Fulstead, the owner of the place, did not use his strength, there was no way he could interfere with Yesto’s journey.

Thanks to that, we can go comfortably, and the next day we ride on the back of Yesto and head straight there.

As we head towards the sanctuary, there are numerous other abbesses following along as well. To that extent, they expect the spirit to be born at the Pungnyeong Festival.

“Yerosto-nim!!!! Please allow the spirit to be born this time!!!!”

“Go and talk to Fulstead-sama!!! Please!!!!!”

[Don’t talk]

“Waaaaa!!!!”

From the point of view of a lower person, it is quite happy when a far superior person encourages you. Thanks, the response is pretty good.

Soon, we enter the Stormzone Sanctuary in earnest. I can feel the wind getting stronger, and it gets stronger the deeper I go. However, the wind that touches us is weak enough to be weak.

Upon entering the sanctuary, the wind swarmed the spirits and began to cling to them. I think it’s because the owner of another sanctuary is visiting, but befitting the image of a wind spirit, it’s quite lively.

-Wow!!!!! It’s Yesto!!!!

– He said he signed a contract with someone else and he came here!!!!!

– Fulstead-nim!!!! Lord Yesto is here oh oh oh!!!!

-Is the person riding on top of Jeroston the Contractor? Oh, but there are two people who look like contractors, so I don’t know who they are!!!

-Who is it? Who is it? Is it the silver hair side? Or is it the green hair side?

– I like both!!!! Wow!!!!

It’s always extreme.

Anyway, entering the deepest part of the sanctuary, a unique ecosystem appeared. Wind-resistant trees were growing, probably to withstand the strong wind, but even then, the trees were not that big. Despite the fact that things like reeds grew quite a bit……. But other than that, the vegetation was quite abundant.

Of course, the animals weren’t very visible. Since it is a place where spirits live, it would be a difficult environment for ordinary animals to live in.

And we were able to meet Fulstead, the owner of the Stormzone Sanctuary.

A huge horse, faintly visible on a cliff in the distance, watched us, then jumped off the cliff and ran quickly.

The horse runs through the air. A small storm winds around the bridge, and it accelerates while lightly running tens or hundreds of meters at a single step. It is so fast that it is called the spirit of the wind. At least that wouldn’t be running on power.

Fulstead soon appeared before us. I didn’t notice it when it was far away, but when I got closer, it was quite large. Even if it wasn’t on the level of Jerosto, it was a huge body that was incomparable to a normal horse.

“How many servings of horse meat will there be?”

“Oh, I’m not saying that”

Has our Eden ever eaten horsemeat… Oh, did he eat horsemeat in Jeju Island on a school trip? It’s usually hard to eat, but at that time, Shion used his hand to pay for the food separately.

He greeted us with a friendly expression. Like the other wind spirits I’ve seen on the way here, it was quite free-spirited and light-hearted.

[Hey, Yesro. Is it easy? I heard that you signed a contract to roam around freely, but it’s nice to meet you like this]

[Your guy is still the same, Fulstead]

[It’s still the same, but not the same. Because the wind always changes. So… Ah, is this pretty human being your contractor? What, did you choose based on your appearance?]

[I signed a contract because I was able to make a contract, not because of my looks. Although he is human, his affinity for nature is so great that he can make a contract with all of us]

[Oh really. Friendliness is no joke. Are you human?]

[Even though the person next to you isn’t human]

Jerosto secretly looks at Keter next to Eden and adds a comment.

Yestor and Fulsted-level spirits are certainly superior, but compared to Keter, who is a transcendental species and a descendant of the Absolute of Nature, they are far behind. This is the difference between a local government official and a presidential official.

[I think we have a lot to talk about, let’s move to a different seat]

[I do]

We moved to a moderately decent place. I took a seat near the lake in the sanctuary. It’s not that big of a lake, but the surrounding scenery was pretty good, so the scenery was pretty cool.

We sat down and talked to him in earnest. It was quite comfortable to talk about because he has a light personality compared to Yesesto, who has a good form.

[I heard about it from Chishirba before. So, did you come to sign a contract with me, lady?]

“Sign a contract with me and become my Uma Musume!!!!!”

“No, why is there a horse girl?! Is he a female type in the first place?!”

[We don’t have a gender, but if I had to say it, I’m more of a female type. Ah, Yesroto and Adreas are masculine. Chishirba is feminine, just like me.]

“You don’t look like a woman at all.”

[It’s hard to live in the world if you’re caught up in such stereotypes. It’s a distinction, but you can’t judge a spirit based on that.]

“Why is he such a personality?”

[I looked at this and that before destroying all the fuckers. The personality that changed then continues to carry on]

“Fuck it?!”

[War and experiment to turn animals into weapons of war, and humans who act like that deserve to be called a dick, don’t they?]

I honestly can’t deny that. I also used to call the people who perished here as fuckers.

Anyway, what should I say about Fulstead… He’s crazy, but in some ways he’s more communicative than Jerosto. However, Yesto also changed in many ways while living in our house, and I wondered what would happen if this guy signed a contract with Eden and lived in our house.

…………It’s scary to even imagine. I’m scared because I think I’m going to have an accident while having sex with our Eden.

“But what about the contract?”

[Oh, that’s impossible]

“Really? It’s a refusal, then.”

However, without needing to worry about that, Fulstead declined the contract. Quite unexpectedly, Yessto said that Fulsted was the most likely spirit to sign a contract with, but the other party refused.

But this kid, for some reason, refuses as if teasing with a grotesque face. He looks great and is a great horse, but it’s strange that he has such a facial eccentricity.

[Surprisingly, I thought you would sign a contract]

[Well, if he had come to visit us a long time ago, he would have been happy to do so. But now I have work to do.]

[The Wind Spirit Festival?]

[Ah yes? Anyway, if you want to talk about that, it will take a little longer, so let’s talk slowly]

Although the worthiness of coming this far has disappeared, the contract itself is not the main purpose. The trip I’ve taken this far has been enjoyable, so the contract is just an additional purpose. You don’t have to get too hung up on it.

Fulstead’s refusal made Eden look quite regretful. Since you are a party to me, your feelings may be slightly different.

“I was going to raise a great Uma Musume and do a winning live!!!!!”

“No, just because you mean it, do you keep hitting horse drip?!”

“Uma pyoi!!!! Uma pyoi!!!!”

Come to think of it, this must be Zion’s fault.

When I go back, Xion’s ass is swollen in bed at night!!!!
