Chapter 69
Spring Meadows
“The smallest lizard is enough for dinner.”
“Sure.”
When Shaw bumps, Hal snorts, too. Though proceeding along the meadows, there were many hills, and they were swamped with rocks, so there were many demons, not just meadow demons.
Though I think the hunting arm needs to be raised, the hunting itself still doesn’t really make me like it, so it’s a show of stupidity.
Shaw and Hal were being taken by Falco and Leon to learn how to fight different types of demons, one at a time. The yellow-brown honey lizards, which are common in the meadows, are fine because they already have hunting experience, even if they are half the size of their bodies.
However, in the streets in the meadows leading to the plains, he also encountered some demons he had never seen. Among them, the crimp was Aohanezaur. It is more than two metres long and flies through the sky. The dark blue body is about to be mistaken for a rock when it stands still, and it is also a nasty demon that once it flies through the sky, the feathers that are clear to the day cannot be seen dispersed in the color of the sky. Salvation is all about acting alone.
When I first saw it, it only looked like a rock on a hill.
“Shaw, look closely at the one that looks like that rock”
When you say that and you do the fuzzy eye, the color is certainly darker than the rocks around you. One of these days you noticed this sign, and stretched out your body, which was also rounded, spreading blue feathers.
“Beautiful…”
To Shaw, who accidentally admired him, but Falco told him only one word.
“Coming”
That came straight this way as it glided out of the hills.
“Even if you hit it from the front, you push it down with force. Drop to the ground once”
At the same time as Falco’s words, Leon slipped sideways holding Shaw for a few steps.
“This is the one who attacked Lila…”
“Instead of attacking you, you’d be right that if you jumped, you’d rip it off with sharp nails with a detachment”
Leon calmly answers Shaw’s twinkle.
“Demons, big or small, don’t like fine moves. That demon targeted Falco as he flew down the hill. It’s not the first thing to change direction to change someone along the way.”
Falco lays down his sword and stands quietly. And Hal is still a little off, standing ready to shoot the magic of the flames.
Leon calmly teaches Shaw that he’s going to say it’s dangerous.
“Shaw can use magic, but it’s hard to separate magic from swords. As a swordsman, look closely at how you respond.”
When approaching some distance, Falco deviates to the side with a hoot and waves his sword at Aohanezaur. The demon scratched by the feathers fell to the ground unbalanced and zuzzled. Falco approached before the demon regained his position and stabbed him in the stomach.
“Wow……”
“Well, a good hunter.”
Falco came back here once again.
“That’s why. Next time you see Aohanezaur, Shaw will do it.”
“This is what I was like…”
When we just met, Falco, who told us to do the slime and put down his sword and went out without explaining anything, was like this from the beginning. What’s “so”? Doesn’t it explain anything? Very unsuitable for teachers.
For a row southbound down the streets to the plains while living in such a sparta, the seasons shifted faster than usual. It should have come out at the beginning of spring, but the meadows increase in bluish and the wind increases in warmth during viewing.
“You’re really getting fewer demons.”
Shaw looked around casually and accidentally said it was about two weeks after his trip and almost into the plain.
It’s still a deep forest around here, but there’s nothing like a forest, and there’s been a lot of agricultural land. But on the left, or east, is a fairly high mountain that separates the deep forest from the plain, and to enter the meadow from the deep forest, you will pass by the western cave of rock.
“Without this central mountain range, I think there would be a little more interaction in each territory.”
“Sure. It’s hard to get to the rock tunnel, the lake swamp, but it’s hard to get to the plains.”
“But having this mountain range would be good for the plains because demons that occur in rock caves and deep woods rarely go to the plains. And thanks to this mountain, we have plenty of water.”
Falco, Leon and the mentor are talking. Shaw, speaking of, even admired the mountains that still had snow. Even the deep forest had many mountains, and the Lake Marsh college city was a basin surrounded by mountains, but it was not this high.
“I wonder if some people climb this mountain and collect mushrooms and nuts”
“Right there.”
And he’s just getting stuck in Leon.
“Of course I did. If you say so, the next stop is the last town in the deep forest, and I think it was made from dried mushrooms and nuts.”
My mentor is a little uncomfortable, but he told me so. Shaw and Hal’s eyes shone. Mushrooms, of course, were sold to northern towns, but no matter what, it’s best to buy them in the region. Besides, you might get chestnuts or something cheap. But Shaw noticed.
“But wait! The North Forest has many demons, and there are many demons on the rock. Wouldn’t it be strange if there were a massive outbreak of demons around this mountain range?
It certainly is. However, as we approach the mountain range now, there are rather fewer demons, and they say they are not answering the plains.
“It’s strange there, but demons don’t occur in this mountain range. So what is not a hunter enters the mountain, and he can also obtain its grace. That’s why they call it the Mountain of Mercy of the Goddess. Besides, instead of demons, they don’t grow herbs.”
Upon hearing that, Shaw creased over the head of his nose. Hal is grinning to see it and dull. Shaw was dropped near Falco, but if he hadn’t been picked up by Falco by chance, he would have almost frozen to death, and even to Hal, who was dropped in front of the sorcery, he wasn’t given a proper caretaker. In other words, for Shaw, the goddess is not the one who should have said this, and I don’t think she has mercy or anything.
Still going into town and getting tons of dried mushrooms and crisp and other nuts, rare herbs, etc, Shaw fixed his mood. The reason would be the mercy of the goddess, but that’s fine if you get something delicious.
When I leave that town, the next day I’ll be in the plains already. When you look at your right hand as you drive the carriage along the mountain range you can see on your left, the width is narrow, although the meadows are spreading.
“Is this the only place into the meadows?
“Not from the deep forest. So, you see, the carriages don’t come and go, right?
Needless to say, Leon has been mistaken for many carriages since earlier.
“But here, I hate”
“Hal, what’s going on?”
Hal started saying something unusual.
“No, Shaw, positioning is important to fight demons.”
“Yeah?”
Shaw was a little surprised, but Hal isn’t just as serene as he looks. He is also a magician who has been at the forefront of the lake marsh and confronted demons for nearly two years. I brought him to Deep Forest because he was weak, but he had always had a tough attitude about how to defend himself and fight.
“A little demon would be nice. Maybe if there were a lot of hunters we could work it out if it was about the other day’s honey lizard move. But what if a lot of monsters bigger than that push over? I think this narrowness is dangerous for plains that are not adequately prepared”
“Hal, you…”
Not only Leon, but Falco and his mentor hacked and saw Hal because the incident as Hal said happened once in a long time.
