Ivan and Delfino stayed in the village of Lizardn for a few days and rested well. At the sa ti, he recovered his body and mind, which had been exhausted from intense battles.
Although there was damage, they found the altar of the sleeping snake god Morna and felt her gaze. Thats why they gave their utmost consideration so that Ivan and Delfino could stay without a lack of anything.
However, if there was one disappointnt, it was the food.
They couldnt adapt with the food culture of the Lizardn.
Apart from having a good sense of sight and sll, they do not have a developed sense of taste. Because of that, their als were ant to fill their stomachs, and there was no particular taste.
It was eaten raw, or sotis cooked over a fire.
That was all. There is no such thing as seasoning.
Ivan and Delfino did not have a very luxurious taste. However, it was not easy to eat the intestines of a deer dripping with blood or a frog caught during winter hibernation.
Eventually, Ivan opened the inventory.
Co to think of it, Ive talked about gomtang before. Ill try making that one.
He made a fire and placed a large pot on top. Then, the beef bones were boiled and the at was cooked. It took a lot of work, but the fragrant sll wafted out, so it felt like the effort was being rewarded.
When I took a bite of pickled vegetables similar to kimchi that I bought at a certain store, the taste was very good. Drinking hot soup in winter seed to relax my body.
Ivan and Delfino were cooking and eating like that, and sotis Ferocious Tooth ca and ate together.
Human food is fun, but do you really need to spend so much ti making it?
Well, its for the taste.
Delfino, who was about to explain, bit his mouth. It was a puzzled expression, not knowing what to explain.
You have to move too much to eat. You need a lot of clean water and a lot of firewood to make a fire. I dont know why you do that to fill your stomach.
For humans, food is not just to satisfy hunger. It is a pleasant act that makes you feel happy in itself.
To prove that, Ivan made and served his secret soup, but Ferocious Tooth only tilted his head.
After all, his taste buds werent very sensitive, so he didnt seem to notice any particular taste. He just felt amazed because its a new taste.
It doesnt taste very chewy, but the warm soup isnt bad. By the way, wouldnt it be okay to just drink hot water?
Unfortunately, Ivan, who had not mastered cooking skills, thought he would not be able to impress him.
While resting like that, Ivan continued to ditate.
It was to match the flow of the world with the magic that swirled inside his body, coloring the world with his own idea. It was not so easy to actually bring out the many secret knowledge engraved in his head.
He had a lot more to do. Even the once broken vessel had to be carefully repaired and adapted to the changed senses. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
The world he saw through one eye was quite different. It took ti to fill in the blind spots in the field of vision and to regain the distorted perspective.
He made an eye patch out of leather, and the feeling of it sticking to his face was awkward and strange.
Ivan ran his fingers through the rough skin and let out a low swear word.
Shit, I lost an eye while being crazy.
He was sure that his choice was not wrong.
He thought that later, when he encountered a wall that was difficult for him to overco, he would use the skill points he saved to overco it, but in the end, to survive imdiately was the problem.
He thought he got a little bit stronger, so he started looking at the future, and that seed to be his greed.
Its not a way for a guy like to prepare for the future. He drew a big picture for nothing, but in the end beca like this.
Ivan regretted it for no reason. Its like engraving the regret in his wounded eye.
Delfino asked in a worried voice as he was stroking his eye patch.
Why? Do you have any pain?
Delfino used to check over and over again, whether he was worried that Ivan had a wound that Delfino couldnt heal. Knowing this, Ivan put his hand away from his eye patch.
Its just that Im not used to it.
That eye
Delfino had a very complicated expression.
Since it was engraved by God himself, it can be said that it is a glorious stigma, but it is, after all, an eye. He also did not know whether he should rejoice or grieve as a worshiper of God.
No need to worry too much. Its not like theres no way to restore this eye.
It is not uncommon to erase the stigma engraved by God himself.
But there are more than five way that co to my mind.
Of course, all five thods were difficult enough to cause him to swear, but anyway, the fact that there is a way the most important thing.
Im not dead. So I can turn things back.
Ivan muttered as if speaking to himself.
Yes he is alive. As long as he is alive, he always has an opportunity.
When the body recovered properly and adapted to the changed sensation, the Lizardman Chief, Crouched Fla called them.
Did you put on a new eye patch? It suits you. You look like a seasoned warrior.
If I had been a little more seasoned, I wouldnt have worn an eyepatch. Whats going on?
Your share has been decided.
In the anti, it seed that they had explored the abandoned city of Naga and the altar of the snake god Morna. As expected, there were quite a few treasures in it, so of which were to be given to Ivan and Delfino.
The Crouched Fla pointed to a fair amount of gold and jewels.
Many of what was inside was a tribute to our god, the Great Snake Goddess. We cant give it to outsiders. Instead, we prepared a corresponding amount of gold and jewels.
Ivan nodded his head with a serious expression on his face.
Okay.
To be honest, he wanted to negotiate, but he put up with it because it had to do with the snake god Morna. If you say please give more to the goddess the Lizardn worship, a sword will be lodged in your stomach.
Gold and gems alone were a considerable amount. Considering that he did not actually participate in attacking the ruins, that alone was a great favor.
Besides, that wasnt all they had prepared.
A dagger engraved with a snake pattern, a bracelet studded with red gems, and two necklaces made of twisted gold.
The dagger of the Snake Summon contains the soul of a snake. Golden snakes will appear and protect you if you infuse it with mana.
As if demonstrating it, the Crouched Fla instilled mana. Then golden snakes appeared around him and fluttered their tongues.
Although not fatal, those snakes have a venom that paralyzes the opponent. In a dangerous mont, you may be able to buy a very short ti.
That doesnt suit . I think it would be better for you to have it.
At that, Delfino made a strange expression. It seed like it was very difficult for the priest of Arun, the god of light, to carry a dagger with the pattern of Morna the snake god.
However, it was true that the dagger was useful, so he nodded and accepted it.
The bracelet was a shield. A treasure that reveals a hidden shield when you infuse it with magical power. This was a bit vague.
It was obviously a precious item, but it was because the use was very subtle.
When Delfino used it, he basically lacked the ability to use a shield, and when Ivan used it, it didnt feel very attractive to him who took out a weapon from his inventory anyway.
Still, its a treasure, so its probably better than a mountain of shield from an ordinary weapon shop.
When Ivan wore the bracelet, only two necklaces were left.
These are things that block the heat and cold and filter out toxins to a certain extent. When you inject mana, they spit out cool, clean water. Perhaps the most needed treasure for travelers.
When he heard those words and hung it around his neck, it felt like it was actually blocking the cold of winter quite a bit. It was like sothing prepared by those who were sensitive to external temperature changes. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
We are now planning to create a new area around the violent lake. We cannot abandon the altar that communicates with our gods.
And this blocked the way for the Orcs to cross the mountain range. If you want to go round the Lizardmans realm, the road is too long and rough, so you wont give up easily, but you wont be able to push the Lizardman away. Greenskin had too many fronts to fight.
The Crouched Fla stared at Ivan.
You are a very mysterious person. In just a few days, the montum has changed completely.
People always change. It wasnt the way I wanted it to be.
Thats right. You have to change to survive.
The Crouched Fla straightened his back. And he shouted with a dignified attitude.
I, the tribe of the Red Valley, make a formal request. May our warrior accompany you on your journey!
thud! thud! thud!
All the warriors around them responded by stomping their feet.
They all looked at Ivans mouth. He waited for him to answer.
Do you know what my purpose is? What kind of adventure it is?
I dont know! But all I know is that the great snake goddess awaits you. Your path, will one day reach her. Then our warrior want to be with you.
With those words, soone stepped forward.
A warrior who can protect his body while fluent in the common language, and an existence that Ivan and Delfino would not find uncomfortable.
Ferocious Tooth asked to be a companion.
Warrior of the Red Valley, Ferocious Tooth! I want to join you on your path!
thud! thud! thud!
As if to urge an answer, the surrounding warriors rolled their feet. Ivan glanced at Delfino while calmly accepting the magnificent and dignified performance. Now he was not alone. He had to listen to his colleagues opinion.
When the Crouched Fla spoke, it was the language of the Lizardn, but he shouted in common language. So, knowing roughly what the situation was, Delfino nodded his head.
Accept it.
Are you okay?
Hes a good and strong warrior. We can trust our back to him.
If Delfino said so, Ivan couldnt refuse him. He was still gritty and anxious to have soone to join him, but he had to get through it.
Its dangerous, I cant guarantee your life.
No problem!
The orcs would be a joke. Evil warlocks or arch demons, mythical monsters, and world-famous villain will stand in our way.
Thats thrilling!
Sotis you may have to beg for your life like a dog. There might be a hellish situation where you have to kill and extort soone because you dont have a loaf of bread or a sip of water.
I will eat my blood and my flesh!
Ivan put on a serious expression in response to Ferocious Tooth.
Alright. Then Ill ask you one last ti.
What is it?
Ill decide the path. If I tell you to live, then live. If I tell you to die, then die. Can you do that?
Ferocious Tooth showed the teeth worthy of his na. It was his own laugh.
Thats nothing big. I will do that.
Ivan held out his hand. And Ferocious Tooth grabbed his hand. (TN: Whoooo. Welco my second favorite character!!)
The Crouched Fla, who had been watching them, nodded his head, rose from his seat, and made a loud declaration.
Blessings on the path ahead of the warriors! Start the festival!
