“The game is a deal where the one who catches more birds with one bowstring wins.”

“That’s not an easy condition.”

Anyone who has ever used a bow knows that it is really hard to hit a target. Even a small bird flying in the sky? And several of them with one bowstroke?

“But if you had that much talent, you would have taken revenge on the Frostclaw tribe a long time ago.”

“According to Vivian, there is a special arrow that is passed down through the vision from the Godrum Arrow Tribe.”

“In the end, it’s a temptation.”

“Tempal?”

“A word referring to the power of the invincible weapon. It is a term used among hunters.”

“I see.”

As Sylvia had described, the man, who appeared to be a great warrior of the Godrum Arrow tribe, drew three blue arrows from his bow at once and fired them. Then, three small arctic birds flying in the sky were hit.

‘This is really bad.’

It was clearly a battle of archery, but it was absurd that the battle was won with tactical skills rather than archery.

Camilla, who was watching from the side, said something to me as I frowned at the completely unfair match.

“Are you worried?”

“What?”

“I’m talking about Miss Clara’s defeat. Looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem easy for Miss Clara.”

“No way.”

“Do you trust her?”

“Of course. Why would I bring her?”

As a hunter, Clara is my first disciple. She never wastes what she has taught me, and she has always lived up to my expectations as a partner. She is even talented.

“Look, she’s my first partner.”

Clara watched the arctic bird intently, then carefully pulled back the bowstring.

“One arrow?”

At that moment when Camilla was wondering, Clara shot an arrow.

Then, a bird suddenly flew up, then the bird that flew in first, and then the bird that was startled by the arrow shot by Clara.

A total of three. That’s how many Clara caught with one bowshot.

‘That’s amazing.’

Just when it seemed like it was going to end like that, the arrow that Clara shot suddenly changed direction as if affected by the wind and caught another bird.

“What? The ending is unnatural.”

“This is Aura.”

This additional explanation was provided by Camilla.

“Auror? Clara learned Auror?”

“It’s still weak, but it’s enough to fit on one arrow.”

“That’s amazing… But isn’t this something you could have done too?”

When I pressed her, Camilla answered bluntly.

“That’s not it. Clara’s aura has a different yellow color than mine, and it has the characteristics of desire. You can think of it as a kind of hit rate correction. ”

“Does each color of aura have different characteristics?”

“Yes, the blue aura our knights cover is the calmness for the ultimate blow.”

Camilla’s explanation made my stomach hurt. The more I listened, the more I envied Auror’s endless possibilities.

I want an Aura too! If I had an Aura, I would be several times stronger than I am now!

While I was feeling so frustrated inside, Sylvia, who was interpreting next to me, started to get flustered.

“Oh my god?”

“Sylvia, what’s wrong?”

“That’s… Clara is being proposed to by the warrior of that tribe!”

“ in?”

Although he could not understand the language of the North, judging by the excited warrior’s way of running towards Clara and grabbing her hand, and the deep gaze he had for Clara, it seemed as if he had fallen hard for her.

This kid?

bang!

I ran straight to Clara.

. . .

To sum up, I couldn’t get the cooperation of the Godrum Arrow Tribe. The reason was that Cian had half-killed the tribe’s great warrior.

“I did it without knowing, but what if I beat up someone like that?”

“What should I do? I should be thankful that you didn’t kill me for touching my woman.”

Camilla pointed out such a view, but Cian pretended not to listen. It seemed as if he did not regret his choice.

It was a look that could easily be considered rude and barbaric.

‘lol.’

But Clara really liked that attitude.

I especially liked the word ” woman”. It was enough to fill up the self-esteem I had lost during the expedition!

“How could Clara, your mouth be caught in your ear?”

“Oh, really?”

“Mom, I understand that too. Just now, Si-an was so powerful. Even Mom, who was there, was nervous.”

Women are naturally attracted to men who want to protect them. This is an instinct. No matter how good a man is, if he can’t protect her, she has to find another man. In that sense, Si-an was the best man. No matter what happens, he will protect his woman.

Of course, it could have easily caused some trouble, but it’s okay. Cyan is capable enough to overcome it.

Just like now.

. . .

“In the end, we came back to the starting point.”

I responded nonchalantly to Camilla’s annoyed words.

“But you still got something.”

A black spear with unlimited throwing power from the Tooth Tribe. An ice arrow from the Godrum Arrow Tribe.

In a single day, you could obtain rare items that were not available in rural villages.

“And a clue to the lack of ice.”

“That clue definitely helped a lot.”

The Ice Flower Tribe was able to find out the location of the Ice Flower Tribe survivors’ hiding place from the Godrum Arrow Tribe. And the Ice Flower Tribe is the tribe that has the most important shaman in this expedition.

‘Sylvia’s tribe.’

Maybe this will be a chance to meet Sylvia’s relatives.

“Cyan, over there!”

“The road ahead isn’t easy, after all.”

The place where the Ice Flower Tribe was hiding was the ice sheet region in the north.

It wasn’t a particularly cold place in the north, but it was a scary place to approach.

The reason is…

“Is it going to collapse?”

“Don’t say such anxious things.”

Because the vast ice sheet is cracked so that it wouldn’t be strange if it broke at any time.

“Just kidding. Ha… annoying.”

If there were no fierce fighting, it would be possible to pass through without any problems on a sled with poor soles.

But, as is the case with everything in life, it didn’t go over easily.

“Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!”

“Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!”

“Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!”

A group of people appeared and attacked us, making noise.

“Kyaaeek!”

“Cyan-ah!”

“Yes, I can tell by Vivian’s reaction.”

A group wearing pure white wolf skins. They were carrying claw-shaped weapons, as befitting their tribe’s name. They were the Frostclaw tribe, a troublemaker tribe in the north.

“Sir, you must not fight here.”

“I know. But it seems like they don’t have any thoughts.”

Beneath the ice sheet that could break at any moment, there was an abyssal lake of unknown depth. Fighting on such thin ice? Everyone could easily die.

But, as if they were high on something, the movements of the guys riding the wolf and running towards them were unusual. ”

“Cyan, I’ll sort it out.”

“No, Clara, save your ice arrows.”

The ice arrows I got from the Godrum Arrow Tribe were limited in quantity. I would have to fight the trolls again in the snowy mountains in the future, so I didn’t want to waste those precious arrows in a place like this.

“I’d rather deal with it with a blackmailer.”

“Don’t do that. The ice rink will collapse for no reason.”

Camilla tried to step forward, but was stopped.

Her skills would be enough to deal with the quickly approaching Frost Claws, but her sharp sword could easily shatter the ice.

After thinking it over carefully, I asked Helen, who was quietly watching the situation.

“Helen, can you miraculously create a shield?”

“A shield? It is possible. However, is it necessary in this situation… Do you have any tricks?”

“To threaten the wolves they are riding.”

“Yes?… Okay, I understand. Warmest Goddess, please take care of us.”

Helen was puzzled, but she immediately performed a miracle as I asked. I told everyone to cover their ears, and at that moment, Helen miraculously created a protective shield.

“!!!!!!!”

As they let out a roar imitating the Black Tiger, the Frostclaw tribe fainted along with the wolves they were riding.

“They’re mentally weaker than I thought.”

Helen, dumbfounded by the sight, muttered in a trembling voice.

“Peer? How do you get the power of the higher species?”

“I’ll explain later, let’s get out of here quickly… right?”

I turned my gaze at the unpleasant gaze that I felt for a moment. I could see the Titan Mountains from here, and I felt the worst and strongest prey there was watching me.

“Hey, you heard that from this distance?”

However, the guy’s gaze gradually disappeared, as if he had no intention of coming out here.

“You voyeur kid, your ears are uselessly bright.”

If I use the roar that follows me like now, the guy will come running at full speed. But as expected, he won’t be able to get out of the dark forest.

As we were leaving the ice, Helen asked me:

“Ugh… Sir Sian, what on earth were you doing that made you the target of the ‘Tiger Who Swallowed the Sky’?”
