Chapter 74.1: Wyvern (1)

“Wait a minute.”

The Thunder Lord said with an absurd face.

“Are you asking me to take you, Seventh Lord, to the Glide Mountains with my wyvern?”

“Yes.”

“Why should I…!”

She tried to protest, but soon shut up again.

It must be because it reminded her of what we just talked about. I told her I would give her information about a powerful spirit if she came to my aid.

“If I take you there… you mean you’ll tell me the location of the spirit?”

After a moment of silence, she asked in a voice that couldn’t hide her anticipation.

I shook my head.

“Of course not. Do you think that this amount of help is worth the weight of that information?”

I didn’t intend to use the opportunity to borrow the other’s power by asking her to take me to Glide Mountains with her wyvern.

I was thinking of accepting as many of these small help as possible until I had to ask for her help for something big.

As long as I was using this information as bait, she wouldn’t be able to refuse my trivial request anyway.

“ …Is this your strategy? Are you going to keep using me like this until one day you ask me to do something big for you?”

“···”

It seemed that she finally caught on. A Lord was still a Lord after all.

But even if she noticed that, it didn’t really change anything.

I gave a sly expression to the Thunder Lord, who was looking at me with an astonished look.

“So, are you going to refuse?”

The Thunder Lord let out a deep sigh as she closed her eyes, as if trying to regain her composure.

“Why do you want to go there out of nowhere?”

“I’m going to catch a wyvern.”

“Why do I have to take you there?”

“Because it’s faster that way.”

Originally, I planned to go to the Glide Mountains after attending the conference. Because there’s not enough time to do that now.

But if I could go there faster with the help of the Second Lord, there was no reason not to go right away.

I thought I would rest well until the conference, but honestly, after taking a few days off, I was already feeling like I was wasting time.

Was it because of all the life-or-death situations that I experienced? Or was it because I was diligently searching for mysteries until recently?

I had never been this kind of a diligent person before.

“Anyway, I’m planning to leave right now, so get ready, Second Lord.”

There were a lot of things to do, but if one wanted to survive, they had to move without a break.

This was the end of the leisure I had briefly enjoyed over the past few days.

“Are you talking about the Glide Mountains..?”

“It’s where the wyverns live.”

While I was talking with the Thunder Lord, Asher was looking after Reef and Rigon. Now she looked a little embarrassed.

It was because of my words that I would suddenly head to the wyverns’ habitat.

“Wow…”

Rigon, who was sitting on one side as if he was meditating, was looking this way with his eyes sparkling.

Looking at the reaction, the word ‘wyvern’ probably attracted his attention. But, of course, I couldn’t take him.

I ordered the butler to quickly get ready and then I went outside.

I saw the Thunder Lord and a knight wearing a blue armor in the clearing located inside the castle.

And two gigantic creatures, wyverns, standing next to each other.

I tilted my head at the sight.

Did an escort knight accompany her?

【Lv. 83]

The level was also a whopping 2 levels higher than Asher. In addition, he also had a wyvern of his own.

The Thunder Lord’s family was such a huge family that it wasn’t surprising, but…

Anyway, those wyverns are much bigger than I thought.

【Lv. 67]

【Lv. 62]

Seeing it up close, the size of the wyvern felt much larger. And the levels were just as great.

The one with a higher level was the Thunder Lord’s wyvern.

After seeing me, it was frowning from afar.

Grr.

Then her wyvern also showed hostility to me and let out a low cry.

Did it even understand its master’s emotions and recognize me as its enemy? Smart.

The Thunder Lord stroked her wyvern down the neck, calming it.

She said, “I don’t see why I should do this.”

While she was waiting, thinking about it, her voice became fiercer as if more anger had risen.

I was using a Lord like a courier, so she had the right to be angry.

“Can the wyverns carry two people each?” I asked.

Originally, I hadn’t intended to take Asher with me, but since there were two wyverns, it didn’t seem to matter.

However, the expression of the Thunder Lord hardened.

“···Two people each? Are you saying my wyvern is going to carry another person as well?”

“Can’t you see?”

I pointed to Asher, who had followed me to see me off.

The Thunder Lord looked at Asher and frowned at her.

The Thunder Lord’s escort knight stepped forward and bowed his head to me.

“Seventh Lord, you and your escort knight can both ride on my wyvern.”

I looked at his wyvern.

It’s big enough that three people could ride together, but… wasn’t it better if there’s only two riding it?

When I looked at the Thunder Lord again, her expression had gone from complete disgust to relief.

Did she hate letting other people ride on her wyvern, or did she just hate riding with others?

If it was her, it was most likely the latter.

“Do you have any saddles for three in the castle? If so, please.”

“Oh, please wait a minute.”

In response to the escort knight’s question, the butler standing next to him tried to move.

I stopped him.

“It’s fine. I’ll just go by myself.”

Asher didn’t really have to accompany me.

I told Asher.

“I’ll be back in a fortnight, so in the meantime, wait while teaching the siblings.”

“Yes, I understand.”
