Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 525
[525[Tuesday] Dragon Slayer Dragon Slayer
As soon as they finished the cool deal with Redel, the prisoners moved quickly and disintegrated Iranorev's body in an instant..
It took less than half a day for the spot where the man's body had been placed to be neatly emptied and replaced with barrels piled high like a giant wall. For some reason, they placed Iranorev's head in front of me, with all the blood removed as neatly as possible, then brought a large cart and immediately carried out the deboning work without any hindrance..
While I was watching frantically, sticking out my tongue like an ant carrying food to its nest, the sun rose in the sky, and as soon as I noticed this and started to feel hungry, all work was completed. It was truly an amazing work speed..
After finishing cleaning up the surroundings, the prisoners filled the place where Iranoreff was with large barrels of alcohol. Redel watched with satisfaction as a pyramid was created from the barrels that had begun to pile up, and as soon as the barrel pyramid was completed, he jumped on top of it and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention..
"Today is a day where eight steps can come together and share joy! I am grateful to stand here on behalf of the other warchiefs simply because I met the dragon slayer first.!"
As a loud voice echoed across the grassland, even louder cheers erupted from all directions..
Seeing not only the beastmen but also our people, who had found some peace after hanging out with them for nearly six days, shouting as one, Redel's gaze naturally fell on me as he nodded and made a light gesture..
"This is why I left my head behind.."
It was absurd to do this without any rehearsal, but it was also fun, so without saying a word, I roughly put Iranorev's head on my shoulder and followed Redel up the barrel pyramid..
To be honest, in my life, I was confident in not being concerned about people's opinions, but being met with thousands of gazes filled with a kind of awe and envy was very different from what I had imagined, so I felt a little cringe and couldn't think about anything..
I was fortunate that I didn't have to take the initiative and run the festival myself. After confirming that I was standing next to him, Redel glanced at the surroundings, which suddenly became quiet, without anyone telling him to, and raised his arms and shouted..
"Here today! We will remember and sing about Iranoref, the Wind King, and Eldmia Egar, the Dragon Slayer.!"
Even though no one told me to, I also lifted Iranorev's head above my head..
Then, as if it was natural, a much louder shout than before went out. The celebration that started like that took place in a completely unexpected way..
As horns sounded everywhere, Redel suddenly picked up a barrel, cracked the lid off with his fist, and threw it at the other prisoner below. The opening signal was that some prisoners, who seemed to be greatly impressed by the manly behavior of not caring at all about a little alcohol flowing, simultaneously broke the barrels located here and there with their fists and shared drinks..
If someone who doesn't know you sees it, they might wonder if it started impulsively. The celebration of eating and drinking right away without any grand speeches or ceremonies was a very refreshing shock to me, so I was dumbfounded while holding Iranorev's head, and then Redel, who had split a new barrel and drank the whole bottle, hit me on the back with a powerful hand. I knocked and said.
"Eat and drink without pressure. I won't disturb anyone except to say hello often.."
According to Redel's explanation, who smiled once as soon as he understood why I, who thought I would have to force myself to meet and say hello to the warchiefs who had provided this much support, said that of course the warchiefs of other footprints also attended, but it was only the dragon slayer's role. Since it is a celebration of birth, it is said that people come dressed in ordinary clothes and just enjoy the festival as a prisoner..
Of course, it's not that we didn't have a place to say hello, but that was only after we had drunk a certain amount of alcohol. Surprisingly, this is said to be a long-standing tradition and wisdom of the prisoners to prevent them from having serious conversations with their sanity..
After hearing those words, I noticed that Redel, who was originally wearing a cloak with a rich mane, was wearing ordinary clothes today that made him indistinguishable from other beasts. It wasn't until I saw them leaving, saying they would come back later when the mood was good that I understood that this was a 'normal' festival for the beast people..
Still, I was wondering if I was being narrow-minded, so I looked around, and fortunately, people who were not prisoners were mostly eating the food with similar reactions to me. The only one who reacts naturally and gets along with this situation is Emmett.?
Seeing that even the saintess couldn't hide her awkward expression, I smiled slightly and went down the barrel pyramid again, and a familiar prisoner approached me with a glass in both hands and spoke to me..
"I caught the Wind King while I was away for a moment. It's a shame I didn't get to see it in person.."
Even though it had been a long time since I had seen each other, I scoffed as I accepted the glass of alcohol handed to me by the friendly face as if we had been apart for a day or two..
"It's really hard to see your face."
"Please understand, because I didn't know when the guests would come. I couldn't have stayed here for free either.."
In response, the cheerful wolf beast, Kal Kansi, just smiled sheepishly, wearing leather armor that was a little stronger than when he last saw him. It was still nice to see, but it wasn't an easy answer..
Because the money I gave him was by no means small. It was an amount that could never have happened without going somewhere and wasting away money, or having to work because you were worried about the cost of lodging..
"You gave me money, right? I spent everything to buy that armor.?"
"ha ha ha. You should save when you can. There's nothing to do here while waiting for customers, so wasting money is a waste.?"
Wow, that was a more frugal reason than I thought. Since there was no room for rebuttal, she nodded, raised her glass, and a lively mini toast followed..
I returned to my seat, put down Iranorev's head, and listened to Karl Kansi's explanation. He said that he had not just been working for the past few weeks, but had been in the process of organizing his personal affairs in his own way..
"Up until now, I've worked with as much safety in mind as possible, so there hasn't been any problem, but with Myeong-saek assisting the warrior, things won't go so smoothly.."
For a person who did not hesitate to do shady work, such as being a bodyguard for outlaws, Karl Kansi managed his assets quite conscientiously, so he must have had a lot to dispose of and organize. Still, he believed in his sincerity and cleverness, so he organized it quickly, but Karl Kansi, who was unable to participate in the dragon slayer party due to a gap of a few days, continued to drink as if he felt unfair to the world..
What followed was essentially a story about what we experienced while Carl Kansi was away. An ogre dealing with the Demon King's army, an attack in the County of Birrear. Emmet's joining, etc..
When the story was somewhat concluded, Kal Kansi began to feel resentful not only for not being able to join the dragon slayer party, but also for coming to directly negotiate with the beast people..
"It's really unfortunate that it wouldn't have been a sight to see anywhere. So, what do you plan on doing with the by-products of the dragon you got this time??"
"I just woke up. I'm still thinking about it."
Of course, there was a lot that could be done. You will have to find a craftsman who can process it, but there is plenty of room to wear dragon skin and scales from the toes to the neck in a new or reinforced form..
The problem is that I have more supplies than I can do that with. Of course, you could just use what you need and sell the rest... but the scarcity of this by-product is holding you back from doing it just for the money..
Money can be earned in any form, so if possible, I want to use it for things that can only be solved with dragon by-products..
"Until now, I have no idea that we would get dragon byproducts on this scale. Anyway, it will take a year to process it and transfer it to ETSL, so I'll think about it until then.."
While I was chatting with Karl Kansi while drinking from a bucket of alcohol next to me, I looked around and saw all the excited people in the world. It doesn't seem like much time has passed, but drunk people have already started appearing from all over the place, probably because they started drinking alcohol all of a sudden..
Still, it was fortunate that no one behaved in an indecent manner, perhaps because they all came this far just because of their sincerity..
"...In the worst case scenario, we might have to pay the royal family to settle them in Ithisel.."
"That's really the worst."
Carl Kansi was openly giggling, but he did not continue to scold him as to why he would do such a loss. He just took a shot at the full glass and added one word as if it was fun..
"But he's a warrior."
It was a very generous evaluation, so I didn't bother to mention that I was also secretly praying that the worst case scenario of donating dragon by-products to the royal family would not happen..
Even though I went through all that trouble, I couldn't even use it properly and it ended up in someone else's hands. Even if it was me, I felt sick to my stomach..
