Chapter.18 Monsters of the Northern Land

Northern Land.

In the last monster war, large monsters such as orcs and ogres were pushed out to the northern land, which can be said to be the end of the continent, by the Allied Forces.

As a result, the northern land became the land of monsters who were pushed out at that time.

A dragon war in which Black Dragon and Red Dragon began to kill and kill each other. In fact, it occurred at a similar time as the Monster War, but it was a completely separate war.

The dragon war was fought between dragons, but the aftermath of the fight almost led to the destruction of the human world, and it was not directly related to humans.

Monster war is a war fought directly between humans and monsters.

Therefore, the fact that monsters were pushed to the northern land had nothing to do with dragons.

I visited this northern land with Rurin. Traveling to and from the northern area using teleportation is not frequent, but it does happen occasionally.

Of course, I don’t come to the northern region for sightseeing. There is a clear reason for that. It’s about capturing useful monsters.

Since the construction of the rare is almost finished, I came today to catch the monsters that will manage the entire rare.

When you say management, it may seem grand, but to put it another way, cleaning is cleaning.

Monsters become obedient when a dragon steps in and manipulates their mind, so they are very suitable as managers of rares. The management of Dragon Lair cannot be left to humans.

And there is one more reason to come to this barren land that has never been touched by human eyes.

It happened last night.

As usual, in order to absorb the power of the dragon bead, I meditated with the bead in my arms. Then, I suddenly felt a huge force surging over me.

This is my first feeling after months of constant meditation and training after obtaining the dragon bead.

So it’s natural to want to test that mana.

For that reason, visiting the northern lands has two purposes: experimenting with mana and capturing useful monsters.

“I feel this way every time I come here, but I really don’t like it.”

“Is there a place you like? I always hate humans. I don’t like monsters either. “I hate everyone.”

“My house is nice! I like the rare you made. Hi-Hi.”

“Is that so?”

That’s a good thing.

I looked around where I had been teleported. Since Lulin has been to the northern land several times, there is no problem with teleporting. There is no need to go through the trouble of going through the dragon that lives nearby, and since you have already been to this place, you can easily go back and forth.

However, each time I teleported, the destination changed slightly. The teleportation point seems to change slightly depending on Lurin’s mindset.

The place we are standing now is a place we have never seen before.

A cold wind blows, proving that it is a northern land. It’s a biting wind. But today the wind was bearable.

The reason lies in the fur clothes worn for the northern land.

If you imagine the fur hats and fur clothes worn by Russians in the middle of Siberia in modern times, would it be similar?

Until now, when I came to the northern land, I came dressed in winter clothes, but it was much colder than I expected, so I decided to buy new clothes this time. Hehehe.

It’s nice to have fur clothes. Very warm.

“But this is a girl!”

Rurin finally notices the clothes she is wearing in disarray and tilts her head.

That’s right, because after changing the sleeping girl’s clothes, they woke her up and made her use teleportation.

This damn Jambo dragon is always sleeping, so the quickest way is to change it first and then get started.

“I wonder what the mother and daughter are doing. Anyway, it’s a very expensive and custom-made outfit. Isn’t it warm? I found the fur of a monster called Scott Wolf and tailored it to him. Lurin, it fits your body perfectly. “I’m good at measuring things.”

“Scott Wolf? “Is that guy expensive?”

“It is the highest quality monster fur, so of course it is expensive.”

At my words, Rurin started stroking the fur coat she was wearing. But soon he shakes his head with a dissatisfied face.

“Mine is much better. “Our dragon’s fur is the best, but a scott wolf is really insignificant!”

“What is that… .”

Do dragons have fur? Could it be that the armor-like leather that covers the skin is called fur?

Well, it is true that if you make clothes out of dragon skin, it cannot be compared to the fur of a scott wolf. The price will be unimaginable.

But is that possible?

“Is it possible to make clothes out of dragon skin? Why not give me your skin? “I’m going to make the world’s first dragon leather winter gear.”

“Skin all the time? “You’re a pervert!”

Lurin suddenly unexpectedly covered her body with her hands and started making nonsensical personal attacks. What a pervert. Where is this dragon talking nonsense?

Who is the one who usually takes off his clothes and throws them away?

Well, is skin to a dragon like underwear to a human? There’s nothing particularly shameful about clothes that you normally don’t wear, but leather is different or something?

Even if I know it, I don’t know.

Rurin even steps back with a red face.

“Yanma, stop making weird faces and come here! “Besides, you don’t want to go back to your dragon form?”

“But it’s true that this body is a dragon, and anyway, the skin… . The skin… !”

A squealing glance. I started walking, leaving behind the awkward dragon that gave me a wink that would fit perfectly with a modern-day emoticon.

There are no monsters in sight. I feel like I may have come in the wrong direction.

After walking for a while, a large river appeared instead of a monster.

Of course, as it is in the north, the river was completely frozen. It looks like a very thick frozen sheet of ice. So it seems very easy to cross over to the other side of the river.

But beyond the river are mountains. Since I had no intention of going hiking, I ignored the ice and the river and started walking east.

After a while, it stopped.

Because Lurin started saying she was hungry.

I looked at the ice.

A shadow appears at a glance as if there are fish living there. So, should I go ice fishing for the first time in a while?

It’s true that we’ve come to catch monsters and test the limits of mana, but there’s no need to rush. Because the restaurant was closed. Just go back within today.

“Lurin, then let’s have a snack and move.”

“oh! Are you going to eat it?”

Lurin, who was walking along the empty land with a bored look in her eyes, sparkled and I climbed onto the ice.

“The water guy froze. “It would be okay to pour some beer in here and eat it cold!”

How big of a beer drinking method is that?

Ignoring the dragon’s words, which did not need to be responded to, I used magic underneath the ice.

Actually, the most annoying thing about ice fishing is breaking the ice, but if you use magic, there is nothing else to do.

Even if you use any level 3 attack magic, a hole of an appropriate size will be created in the ice on the river.

“What are you doing?”

“To catch a fish. “I think there might be trout in a river like this.”

I remember back in the day, when I was moving around the battlefield, I had to search the river to feed my troops. There used to be quite a lot of trout in these rivers.

However, there is no fishing rod. There is no bait either. The necessary equipment is not prepared at all. In that case, you have no choice but to use emergency fishing gear.

“Lurin! “Come here.”

“Huh?”

I pulled Rulin in front of me and pointed into the water.

“The fish will move and if it appears under the hole you dug, just knock it unconscious.”

“fish? Is this delicious? “Is this the one you ate in the sea back then?”

“It’s a little different, but it’s delicious.”

“Right! i get it.”

Following the interpreter and snow removal tool, Lurin transformed into a fishing tool. I wonder if we would be able to ask for this if it weren’t for our dragons.

I’m asking you to eat something together.

If there is a human being who uses a dragon as a fishing tool, or any living thing apart from humans, if there is a being that uses a dragon as a fishing tool, ask them to come out.

Hehehe.

“Now is the time. now!”

As I said that, Lulin’s eyes widened. Trout die almost instantly. I tremble and wake up. If it floats, just take it out of the hole.

“One more!”

As I whisper into Rurin’s ear, she begins to twist her body. Holding the dragon’s waist, I looked into the water for a while and then urged it again.

Once again the trout floated helplessly up the hole.

“It’s okay.” it’s okay.”

“It’s my fault. Hehehe.”

“Yes, that is an undeniable fact.”

After stroking its head, I immediately started cleaning the trout.

Summon a sword, remove the scales first, and then cut open the stomach. While removing the internal organs, the point is to remove all the parts on the back that appear dark due to accumulated blood.

Next, you use a fireball to grill it.

Take pepper and salt out of your backpack, sprinkle them liberally, break a suitable tree branch, pierce it from the mouth to the tail, and grill it until it sizzles to create a delicious grilled trout.

“it’s good!”

“Watch out for your bones.”

The dragon started eating the trout like a bear. This guy can digest even bones, so you don’t have to worry too much. After roughly killing the large trout one by one, we lay down.

“If you go over there, there seem to be a lot of monsters. “I feel a presence.”

Meanwhile, Lulin pointed his finger as if he sensed something with his dragon-specific sense. The direction she pointed toward was a hill to the southeast.

“okay? “Let’s go then.”

The northern land isn’t full of monsters. This abandoned northern land was cold and barren, making it uninhabitable for humans, but it was a large area. It’s the size of most countries.

So, it seems that the monsters that were pushed out have spread out here and there in this northern land and are fighting for power among themselves again.

The more they fight among themselves, the more distant it becomes from when they will have the power to fight against humans again. Isn’t peace in the human world guaranteed for the time being?

“Anyway, which monster would you like this time? “I caught some cute ones in the closet and bathroom.”

“Hmm”

Lurin started to worry for some reason. He hums and thinks about something, then immediately raises his arms and opens his mouth.

“I want the big one this time. you!”

“Big guy?”

“Yes. Because our rare is big! “I think the bigger guy will do a better job!”

He’s a big guy. So, should we look into large monsters?

I let out a little laugh. What I’m doing now feels like I’m at a store trying to buy furniture for a newlywed house.

It’s amazing how you select monsters to manage rares as if you were looking at furniture.

I quickly shook off the strange feeling and moved to the place Lurin had pointed out. As I got closer, I saw skeletons scattered all over the ground. These are the bones of monsters.

It seemed like an area where battles often took place.

Rustling.

Rustling.

Right then. I hear the sound of something moving. A rustling sound was strongly captured from the direction of the forest. A creature that moves while making this much noise would naturally be a monster.

“I’ll growl, Aaron!”

The monster that appeared glared at us, muttering an unknown sound. It is a creature whose entire body is covered with white fur. It feels like the wool has become a little thicker and longer.

It was covered in white fur from head to toe, and its eyes were as cute as those of a cat. But it walks on two feet.

The very existence of something is a mismatch. It’s even big. A little taller than me and twice as big.

The appearance of a monster I’ve never seen before, whose name I don’t even know.

For someone like me who has encountered most monsters, this was quite a rare occurrence.

“What does that monster say, Lulin?”

“Again!”

As I was about to activate the interpreter, Lulin approached the monster with an annoyed look on his face. Then the monster held up a weapon similar to a club and trembled, swinging it back and forth.
