“Are you the four finalists selected in the Great Demon Hero Selection Tournament held in the kingdom?”
“”””Yes. Yes.””””
The minister of the kingdom standing next to the throne asks the four warriors standing before the king.
They answer the minister’s words and bow to the king.
“Isaac Bestian. Yuuna Remine. Thranog Dragonian. Wandering.
I really want you to defeat the demons and bring peace to this Klein continent.
This old man is asking for a favor.”
The King of the Kingdom of Licht, with a pure white beard covering his face, pleads with them.
“To you who have been selected as the kingdom’s warriors… I will give you weapons made by the kingdom’s best craftsmen.”
The minister standing next to the king came from behind carrying a large wooden box.
The king took out each of the weapons inside and handed them out to the warriors.
“Isaac Bestian. I heard that you have excellent physical strength and strength to protect your comrades.
I will give you a sturdy shield worthy of you.”
What Isaac received from the king was a shield made of hard steel.
It looks like it can block any attack.
“Yes. As you commanded, I will defeat the demons and come.”
“Thank you. And… Yuna Remine.
You said you were a promising talent who excelled in lightning and wind magic from a young age, right?
It’s a special weapon that will make your magic even stronger.”
What was given to Yuna was a blue magic crystal ball that emits clear light.
When the crystal ball was placed in Yuna’s hand, it immediately responded and floated next to her.
“Tranog Dragonian… A magic swordsman of the Dragon race with great strength and magic.
I will bestow upon you this bracelet that will maximize your power.”
Tranog immediately wrapped the red bracelet that the king had given him around his right wrist.
Then the sparks flew for a moment, then regained stability and wrapped around the bracelet.
“Lastly… Wandering. An assassin with very fast and agile movements and skills.
I give you this dagger that suits you.”
The dagger given to Wandering is a dagger made from the teeth of a demonic dragon that was defeated by the knight commander of a long-ago kingdom.
The light was forged to be sharper than anything else in the world.
“Four warriors of the Kingdom of Licht… Please defeat the evil demons and bring peace to the continent.”
The four warriors bowed one last time and left the throne room with the king’s final message.
***
Those who stepped out of the capital’s castle gate amidst the cheers of the people.
“Isaac! That shield looks really good?”
“It’s much more luxurious and sturdy than the shield I was using before.”
Yuna looked at Isaac’s shield and was impressed by its shape and quality.
It was nice for Isaac to be given a steel shield made by the best craftsmen, but
His face looked somewhat regretful.
The shield he has used so far is the shield he purchased with the money he earned after first becoming an adventurer.
Although it was very worn and had many holes and wounds,
It was like a companion who accompanied him on his adventures.
“Does he look somewhat regretful? That shield. Don’t you cherish it?”
Tranog sensed Isaac’s feelings and spoke to him, tapping him on the shoulder.
“Yes… This is the first one I bought after starting my adventure. Haha…”
“Is there anything you have to throw away? Even if you don’t use it… you can carry it around and remember your original intention.”
“That’s a really good idea! Thank you.”
Isaac smiled awkwardly and put down the bag he was carrying on his back for a moment.
Attach the handle of the wooden shield to the back of the bag and put the bag back on.
“By the way, where did you say the demons are?
I heard that it was the site of a city called Stafon.”
Yurang, the fox beast, perked up his ears and asked Isaac.
Because she came from a village of fox beastmen in the forest, far from the kingdom,
This was because he did not know much about the circumstances of the kingdom.
“It is said that it has now been renamed Ragnasia… but before, it was a city called Stafon.
Their garrisons are Stafon and Freed.”
“The two cities are not very far from the capital.
You will arrive in about three days, staying in several cities along the route.”
Yuuna opened the map and pointed to the marked location, giving Yurang directions.
“Um… Cuban! I think it would be appropriate to stay here for a day and go to the next city.”
“I see. Let’s go quickly.”
***
After walking for a while, it was already late afternoon and the sun was setting.
The warrior’s party arrived in front of the castle of Kuvarian, the city of magic engineering.
However, the one guarding the gate in front of the castle is not a Cuban knight,
It was an unidentifiable monster that looked like a combination of a monster and a human.
“What… what is it? This was definitely not the demon camp.
Has their magic already reached this far…?”
“I think I should cancel my stay here.
I think it will take some time to go to other nearby cities…”
The warrior group walked again to find a safe place far away from Kuvarian’s castle.
“It’s late… I guess I should at least camp here.
Is everyone okay?”
The place they stopped was in front of a shallow and cozy cave.
Isaac asked the group if it would be okay for them to stay here.
“It’s okay. I’m used to wandering around rough terrain.”
“Haha! Similar to Wandering… we Yongins also grew up in rough places!
This is a really cozy and nice place.”
Wandering and Tranog said that the place they lived in was a rougher place.
I agreed with his opinion that we should stay in this cave for a day.
“Yuuna… will you be okay?”
“Yes! When I was carrying out requests, I was sent to places more dangerous than here.”
Yuna seemed a little scared, but answered that she was okay.
Perhaps because of seeing the monster earlier, a little fear seemed to have settled in.
Isaac was a little worried seeing Yuuna like that,
Because we had to walk a long way to get to a nearby village, it was difficult to suggest other options.
“Now! Let’s hold on to our worries and rest in peace.
If you’re going to meet those guys tomorrow and beat them to pieces… shouldn’t you eat and rest comfortably?”
Thranog was already gathering dry leaves and branches from around him,
He fired fire magic and instantly created a warm bonfire.
“Everyone shouldn’t be so scared already.
Stop holding on to your ankles tomorrow and come to your senses?”
Yurang must have felt pitiful to see them like that,
He delivered a sharp remark.
“Yes. I will keep this in mind.”
In some ways, it may have sounded cold to Yuuna and Isaac, but
Yurang is a veteran who has lived in rugged places for decades and dealt with many people.
Because she lived a longer life than a human, her appearance did not seem much different from Isaac or Yuuna.
In fact, he has the longest experience and is the oldest in the warrior group.
“Haha. Don’t hold the mood too much like that. now! I brought some delicious food, so let’s all eat.”
“Tch. He seems like a light guy.”
To keep the atmosphere from freezing, Tranog brought out the food he had prepared in advance.
It seems that Wandering doesn’t like Tranog’s cheerfulness very much.
I climbed a tree alone and turned my head away.
” Yurang… is it okay if you don’t eat?”
“You guys, eat your fill. When I eat food, my body becomes heavy and I can’t sleep.”
Although it looks like she’s complaining,
Because of her job as an assassin, it was common for her to not be able to relax.
“Wow… this is so delicious! You must have cooled down coming all the way here.”
“Haha! After all, I’m a master of fire magic, right? Keeping food warm isn’t difficult.”
Meat-filled soup and bread that Tranog made before leaving the capital.
Yuuna and Isaac quickly filled their stomachs with delicious food.
“Hey! Beastman girl! Why don’t you come quickly and eat? If you don’t eat it, it will disappear?”
“Chet. Light…”
Yurang, who was up on a tree alone, was talking gibberish,
As the flavor of the soup wafted out, I found myself turning my head in the direction of the soup.
“You know when I turn my head and smell it? Come quickly!”
“Ah… okay!”
Yurang, who was caught by Tranog, reluctantly came down from the tree.
Deep down, she was worried that all the soup would run out.
“You mean she’s not honest? ruler. Take it here.”
“What kind of lady are you! Much younger than me…”
“Really? Mr. Tranog, how old are you?”
“Me? I’ve been living for exactly 120 years this year. In human terms… I guess he would have been around 30 years old?”
The Yongin people live an average of 400 to 500 years.
By human standards, as he thought, he would be about 10 years older than Isaac who asked the question.
“Why are you asking my age? What’s so important?”
“Sorry if I was rude…”
The life of the beast people is as long as that of the dragon people.
What is certain is that he is much older than Thranog, who lived 120 years.
The reason Isaac and Yuna were surprised was probably because her young-looking face and age did not match.
“I wish I knew. Ugly lizard there. Give me some more soup.”
“Haha! Eat a lot. There’s still a lot left.”
