I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 55
ruler
Nuada seems to be in a good mood at the thought of going back to the village after a long time.
“Then let’s go!”
Surprisingly, it didn't take long to move inside the mountain range. Only a few dozen elite knights were selected and moved, and thanks to the guidance of Nuada, who knew the roads of the mountain range, the movement speed was not slow.
However, Julius also went through a rather embarrassing situation here.
"Let's camp here."
The problem was the field tent. Coincidentally, there was one woman in the party. In fact, the problem is not that, but the reaction of the knights.
“Your Highness can use the same tent as her.”
Julius made a puzzled expression. It seems that you are deeply misunderstood.
“She will be assigned separately. This is an order.”
'I expected it, but he's the kind of person who doesn't put personal feelings into his mission.'
'Still, there's no need to hide it from us like that.'
After a few days, I got used to the reactions of the knights.
'If I explain it anyway, they won't believe me, so I'll just be comfortable with it'
The journey went quite smoothly.
Unlike before, Julius and the others were able to enter the depths of the mountain range in less than a week.
"That's our Thunderbolt Rock Tribe!"
Nuada's voice, pointing with his finger, was full of pride.
'It's been a while.'
Julius also had a new feeling. Back then, he complained a little inwardly about what such a shabby place was, but now he is different.
“What a wonderful town. It's nice to see them full of energy.”
He smiles and responds to Nuada.
In fact, the village is full of life, such as children playing warriors with sticks, or young men who have not yet become warriors training.
Isn't Julius' greatest goal a peaceful daily life for him and his followers?
He couldn't help but stare at it for a while.
“… … ?”
Nuada's gaze, which looked at Julius' warm gaze as if wondering, also moved to his tribe before he knew it.
As a chieftain, it doesn't seem like it's bad for the tribe he leads to be evaluated like this.
“Hmm, then let’s go down. The guys who went first are probably preparing to greet them.”
buzz buzz.
“The chieftain is back!”
"I'd better prepare to greet you."
No matter how they formed an alliance, Julius and the knights he brought are strangers to his village after hundreds of years.
Although Nuada leads from the front, it is impossible to completely remove the guard.
'Is it a bit unreasonable to be welcomed from the beginning?'
Julius smiled bitterly inwardly and stood beside Nuada watching the scene.
However, the atmosphere changes dramatically with Nuada's declaration.
“You know very well that I brought the strangers today. Everyone must have been taken aback by the appearance of strangers... … .”
The words that came out of Nuada's mouth were surprising.
“We will welcome them, who are our great benefactors, as brothers and guests. I hope everyone will listen to me.”
“A guest has arrived. Get ready to meet them!”
Every word of the chief who leads them in the north is law. And Nuada is one of the strongest and wisest chieftains of their tribe.
'If the chieftain is a guest, then he must be a guest.'
'We just have to follow.'
“Thank you for the welcome.”
"you're welcome. I still haven't paid back the life debt I owed to you.”
Nuada responded brightly and began guiding them.
The knights, including Julius, enter the chief's house in the center of the village.
'Huh, that's amazing. Even when I came to the north, I never thought I'd come all the way into the mountains and stay at a foreigner's house.'
The knights were also a bit bewildered, but they seem to be quite welcoming to them anyway, so their guard is quite relaxed.
That day, a grand banquet was held in the village of the Thunderbolt Rock tribe.
Drinks and food are placed in front of Julius and the knights who are guided to the chief's house.
“This tastes pretty good, doesn’t it?”
In front of them, food and meat resembling a well-cooked stew begin to be placed.
Linfield carefully tastes the food and gives a surprisingly good review.
It's a natural evaluation that I ate only hard dry soup and long soup for almost a week, but I still eat food like food.
'If you knew the ingredients, you'd probably freak out, Sir Linfield?'
Julius barely restrained himself from laughing inwardly.
In his previous life, he almost vomited when he first learned the identity of these food ingredients, but later gave up and ate them eagerly.
"ah! Please don't let my knights know that a large part of the food is monster meat. I'll tell you later”
Julius had already tipped off Nuada. The tribes living deep in the mountains hardly distinguish between monsters and livestock.
As long as it's not a similar race monster like a troll or an ogre, any monster that resembles a beast or livestock will be eaten, whether it's a beast or a monster.
Anyway, after such a warm banquet, Julius finally brings up his business to Nuada.
“I came to these mountains, as I said, to investigate a certain area.”
“As I said before, there is nothing too difficult. But as I said before, this area is a place that is difficult even for me to wander around alone.”
'This is the beginning.'
Julius' eyes lit up. There are some parts that are not as expected, but the chance to match them is right now!
“Isn’t there a hill with three pointed peaks next to this tribe? That is where I am looking.”
Nuada's face shows great embarrassment for the first time.
“It is true that such a mountain exists, but how on earth do you know?”
“As I said before, while I was researching about the Northern Mountains, I heard that someone investigated something. It was a very old record.”
'I knew in advance in my previous life, if I do this, I'll treat you like a crazy person.'
Julius, looking around, saw that Nuada's reaction was more intense than expected and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Leaving aside my reason, looking at your expression, it doesn’t seem like a normal mountain for you either. Is there a reason for that?”
"hmm… … .”
Nuada seemed to be thinking for a while. Because it was a very special place to me. And it is also one of the most dangerous places in this mountain range.
“We call that mountain Songgossan. It's a very dangerous place... … .”
At this moment, Julius was convinced of his prediction.
'As expected, it seems that something is in the way, so we haven't found out what's on that side yet.'
Songgossan was the center of where the dite mines were located. Starting from that mountain, there are mines in the area with several peaks.
When he first came to this tribe, what surprised him the most was that the Thunderbolt Rock tribe seemed so common that even children used Dite ore as a tool to play with fire.
However, the Nuada I met in this life said that it was a very valuable item. This was his biggest question.
Julius decided to take a gamble here, believing in the trust he had accumulated over the years.
“Can you take me there without asking why?”
“… … !”
"From what I've learned, the most valuable key to our alliance will be there."
“Huh… … .”
'Are you aware of its existence? But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the alliance.'
Nuada was also deeply troubled. However, Julius kept true to his promise and helped him drive out Gundar.
'If I get help from Mt. Songgos, I'll be in debt again, but if the other person needs a favor, it might be a golden opportunity.'
he makes a decision
“You are a great benefactor to our tribe. There is nothing difficult about taking him.”
“I would really appreciate it if you would!”
It's as if things have been done now. However, there must be some obstacle blocking the mountain.
Nuada gets to the point with a serious expression.
"The reason I'm taking you is actually for the sake of our tribe."
“… … ?”
“You said you read the records on Mt. Songgos, but do you know the information about the ruler of Mt. Songgots?”
Julius puts on a puzzled expression. What else does this mean?
"ruler? I have never seen such a record.”
Nuada lowers her voice and starts talking about the secret of Mt. Songgos.
“In fact, Mt. Songgos is where a huge silver snake that has been there for hundreds of years is located. We call that snake the ruler of the mountain.”
Julius feels like all the puzzles have finally been put together.
'Anyway, it seems that he is a powerful beast that even superhumans can't deal with.'
If that level of spiritual water was blocked, no one would have known the existence of a dite mine for hundreds of years.
"Huh, I guess you're a monster that you can't do anything about?"
“Yes, in fact, I still think that I lack the strength to challenge the ruler.”
Julius grins.
“But what if there are two of you?”
Nuada also smiled and clenched her fists. It is through mutual opinion.
“Not enough! You for your sake, I for our tribe! How about joining forces?”
puck!
The two clashed their fists.
Nuada felt really relieved, as if she had lost a tooth she had suffered from today. In fact, the awl mountain was too close to his tribe.
The very existence of such a long-standing spirit is a great threat.
Besides, the ruler's disposition is very foul. It's also spectacle what happens every time that guy gets messed up and goes on a rampage.
In that area, the monsters and spirit beasts chased by him run away in the direction of the tribe, but the great movement of monsters and spirit beasts is no different from a disaster for his tribe.
If the Punishment Rock was Nuada's childhood goal, the silver snake was his new goal after he became a superman.
'One day, I will definitely twist the neck of that damn big snake!'
However, he is still not convinced that he can defeat the Silver Snake. But what if Julius, who beat him, joined in?
'It's worth dealing with.'
'It seems that Nuada from the previous life somehow defeated that spirit beast alone. It's a silver snake that even a superhuman like Nuada can't easily imagine... … .'
“Then when would you like to leave?”
"for a moment!"
Julius hurriedly raised his hand to stop Nuada, who seemed to be rushing to the mountain at any moment.
It's good to catch the reception! However, he and Nuada have a lot of work to do.
He has to go up to the capital as soon as he finishes his business at Mt. Songgot, and Nuada must unite the remaining tribes in the north. If either of them is seriously injured, the schedule will be disrupted.
“Tell me about the movement route, appearance, and means of attack of the spirit beast that is said to be the ruler!”
"It sounds like we're going to devise a strategy to hunt."
"That's right, if it's the two of us, there's a small chance of hunting failure, but it's troublesome if the damage is great."
Nuada also began to explain in detail about the ruler to Julius, as if he thought it made sense.
Julius muttered to himself.
