Chapter 467
The mont the story about the whereabouts of the missing flying dragon ca out, Kang Seol’s expression changed.
“… what.”
Pot-!
Paaaaat-!
Kang Seol and his party, who sensed a brief collision, appeared and surrounded the troll.
“Ho… You’re not planning on doing sothing to as a group, are you? “Then I’m disappointed.”
Kang Seol asked.
“What are you planning?”
“What do you think they are planning?”
“….”
“Could you stay a little farther away than that? “I don’t want to cause trouble for no reason.”
Unnad troll.
Because he was wearing a large piece of cloth comnsurate with his size, it was difficult to pinpoint his features.
‘If you know where all of Baldu’s drakes have disappeared… Enemies? No, not the enemy.’
From the beginning, the whereabouts of the flying dragon were unknown. If it were an enemy, they wouldn’t have shown up and taken such a dangerous action.
“… who are you.”
“Once you find out who I am, you will have to cooperate with .”
“gibberish. “Is your na worth it?”
“Otherwise, Baldu’s Drake will never be found?”
Konji said, tapping his solar plexus.
“torture! “I will capture you and torture you!”
“What does the congee troll say?”
“I don’t know! “It’s frustrating!”
Snowfall sighed and looked at the troll.
“You probably approached because you wanted sothing, right?”
“of course! “It looks like you’re finally ready to talk.”
The troll crossed eyes with Snow Seol and smiled broadly.
“Actually, I and my friends are in a very difficult situation. So I ca to lend you my strength.”
“Why us?”
“I heard you’re at odds with the Congress, aren’t you?”
“Parliant!”
It may be surprising, but what Kang Seol was hostile to was an organization called the Congress. They have already spread their influence over several northern groups.
“… Where did you hear that?”
“It’s obvious. “Think about it carefully.”
The troll’s presence was confusing.
The only large tribe that has settled in the north is the Glacier Maw. Not only does he know where Baldu’s dragon has disappeared, but he also knows that Kang Seol and his party are hostile to the council.
‘… enemy?’
When I thought about it again, I thought it would make sense if this troll was a mber of Congress. So is he an enemy?
“You really don’t notice. “Then… let introduce myself.”
The troll pointed his finger to the sky.
“Would you believe if I told you there was another world above the clouds?”
Startle!
Konji and Kang Seol’s expressions changed at once. There was a group that could be guessed if it were not an abstract expression that exists above the clouds.
Konji shouted.
“High wings! “Lack of clouds!”
“You co from high wings. “Now I understand.”
“ha ha ha! “It took a long ti.”
Konji said, looking through the dictionary.
“That trinket! That tattoo! “High wings!”
Gian and Sindio were surprised to hear the na. Because I rembered where I heard the na of the tall wings.
“If it’s a tall wing… it’s a council!”
“Hekai! Hekai said he was a mber of the council!”
“That’s right!”
“You told !”
“that’s right! “I did!”
Konji said with wide eyes.
“Parliant? ah! right! “You’re a bad guy!”
“what? ha ha ha! “Even if I think about it that way, I honestly don’t have anything to say.”
Karen and Karuna glared at the troll’s entire body.
First, once it is clear that they are enemies, conflict is considered.
“That’s creepy. “Don’t look at like that.”
Kang Seol asked him.
“Why did the high bird wing, a mber of the council, approach us?”
“Don’t say everything as if it’s decided. Because I don’t agree with that fact.”
“… what?”
Kang Seol was taken aback by the troll’s answer.
“It is Heka… who has decided to follow the Council. “Not all high wings follow his decisions.”
“That ans…”
“I haven’t decided on the wings yet. Was there an answer?”
It was a fascinating topic.
If the high wings leave the council, the enemy’s power is excluded without a fight, and if the high wings are brought into the ally, that much power is added.
“… What should we do?”
“Convince Hekai.”
“Will you listen to us?”
“I create the situation.”
“Where is the dragon?”
“I’m… sorry.”
The troll scratched the back of his head.
“The truth is, I don’t know. “I just know soone worth knowing.”
“It must be Hekai.”
“… that’s right.”
Kang Seol summarized the other person’s words.
“There are more than one reason why we need to help you persuade Hekai.”
“I would appreciate it if you thought so.”
“But questions still remain. “Who are you?”
“what?”
“As a result, we have to trust you and move. If you are a worthless guy, your eting with Hekai will not be successful. “I’m sure I’m not wrong.”
“… No, that’s right.”
said the troll.
“… You will naturally find out when you climb above the clouds.”
“Hmm…”
Kang Seol and his party talked, leaving the troll alone.
“What if it’s a trap?”
“Is there any other trap as flimsy as this?”
“The troll might be lying.”
“The problem is that we have no other options.”
“That’s… I see.”
Finding the Drake of Baldu, finding out where the Council is eting, or figuring out where the next piece of the Ring of Aspiration is.
We were in a situation where we had to accomplish at least one of these three to move on to the next step, but this was impossible on our own.
“This is what it ans to believe because you need to.”
“Shouldn’t we tell Baldu?”
“I’m going to kill the troll. “Cruelly.”
“That… I guess so.”
“What can you do? There is no other way. As that troll said, the only way is to check what the top of the clouds look like before coming.”
Konji said, fluttering his nose.
“It’s above the clouds. “Of course I have to go!”
“… I wish it were simple.”
“How to solve complex problems simply!”
“It’s frustrating, but it’s true.”
Kangseol asked Karen and Karuna.
“How are you feeling?”
“the best?”
“it’s okay.”
Even if the troll’s words were questionable, there was no choice but to go forward, so in the worst case scenario, even ard conflict had to be taken into consideration.
“Whoa….”
Snowfall said to the troll.
“Okay, let help you. Instead, you will definitely have to pay the price.”
“ha ha ha! of course! Now then… let’s leave right away.”
The troll took out a mysterious engraving from his chest.
“What is that?”
“Stick this way. And don’t open your mouth except between you two. “Because you will be suspected.”
Troll pointing to congee and snowfall.
Except for two, Gian, Sindio, Karen, and Karuna nodded because they couldn’t even speak the troll language.
“Hmmmm…”
Smoke stread out from the troll’s nostrils.
Shhh…
It soon completely surrounded Snowfall and the others.
[The unknown person uses Cloud Spell: Dream mory.]
[Distorts the shape of the specified target and blurs the impression. It does not attract attention unless you do sothing special.]
…[The unknown person uses Cloud Spell: Dream mory.]

…
“… Huh?”
“This is…”
said the troll.
“Illusions are my specialty. Now you will give others the feeling of having seen them sowhere else. I won’t even be curious until you do sothing. “Here we go.”
“Where are you going…”
“Above the clouds.”
Hwiiiiiii…
As the imprint glowed, the bodies of the group were engulfed in blue particles.
A sign of transition that I haven’t felt in a long ti.
It was the power to instantly fly to the designated coordinates.
“Sleep….”
Quaaaaaaa!
A beam of light shot up into the sky.
[The unexpected adventure ‘Who Lives on the Clouds’ occurs.]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
* * *
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
!
The transfer was not perfect.
The group fell from a considerable height due to the wind.
“Shh….”
“Shh, it’s coming.”
A sign of soone approaching.
Those who appeared were also trolls.
‘Are you a mber of the High Wings?’
I had to be careful.
I don’t know exactly where this place is, but it must be a place very closely related to the wings of the high bird. The courage of this unknown troll to blindly drag it to such a place was also amazing.
“Was it you? “This departure was brief.”
“Ahahaha! “I forgot to bring Kakui a al.”
“I have to forget things like that. But…”
Kakui.
Kakui was a monster similar to a pterodactyl that rode on tall wings. A creature that is said to have a ferocious personality and cannot be tad except with its tall wings.
The guard looked around at Kang Seol and his group and said.
“No, no.”
“why?”
“Nothing. “I just felt weird.”
“Haha, I’ll go then. “I have a busy way to go.”
The troll dragged Kangseol and his party through an area that looked like a checkpoint.
꾸 Woo Woo Woo Woong …
“Fuha … what is it?”
“I really didn’t notice. It’s fascinating….”
“Sotis I think that witchcraft is greater than magic.”
“Don’t say things like that. “You’ve never been hit by a wizard, right?”
“It happens every day.”
“… ah.”
While Jian and Sindio were muttering, Kangseol and Konji looked at the surrounding scenery.
It felt like I was in a dream.
There were many mountains of appropriate heights surrounding it, and colorful grass ford the vegetation.
“Where am I?”
“He said he was curious about the clouds.”
“I know you led us to the coordinates engraved on the engraving, but I’m curious about where it is.”
“It’s where the tall birds live. Is there anything special about it?”
The air was definitely different.
The breath I took was so unfamiliar that I thought I was really above the clouds.
“The High Wings are a tribe that was abandoned by the tribal alliance. “I cut ties with them and live independently on the clouds.”
Neither Konji nor Snowfall knew the exact whereabouts of the wings. It was simply one of the great tribes of their forr tribal confederation. And the only thing that went wrong was that he disappeared from the continent for so reason.
Konji said to the troll.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much It’s above the clouds, but no matter how you look at it, it’s above the ground? And what is this cooing sound I heard earlier?”
“On the ground? Ahahaha! Okay, is there a mountain you can see over there?”
“uh? huh.”
“When you climb that mountain, you will know everything.”
“Where is that place?”
“Ho of the High Wings. “It’s probably the highest mountain in Pandea.”
“Hmm…”
The troll did not lead them in a straight line to the mountain in the distance. I tried to move as unnoticed as possible, avoiding the villages that appeared along the winding and twisted road.
Thanks to this, we needed two more days to reach our goal, the mountain.
Cracking…
crackling…
They sit around a bonfire and sleep out in the open.
Sindio said.
“… The long expedition is coming to an end.”
“okay.”
Jian looked at the fire with unfocused eyes.
“Did you find what you wanted? Jian?”
“If you’re talking about my peace of mind… well, it’s definitely better than before.”
“I see…”
“Sindio and you?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Perhaps the person who faced the most different situation from before was Sindio.
“Why am I here?”
“….”
“We… where are we now?”
This is a question that cannot be answered even if you know the answer. Even if I understood what she ant, I couldn’t understand the worry and pain it contained.
But suddenly, Konji, who seed to be the furthest from this story, gave an answer related to Sindio’s question.
“Humans are insignificant.”
“… yes?”
“Look at those stars. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“What does that an all of a sudden?”
“It’s a small and pretty star, but it’s actually very big! “Sothing like a human is as bad as dust.”
“….”
“Pandea is also a star in the end. Humans are just one of the many life forms that have taken root on that planet. And you are just one individual among those humans, and the thoughts you have are also just a part of you.”
“Are you talking about my worthlessness from a cosmic perspective? “That’s rude.”
“I’m saying don’t take on too much responsibility! “I thought about it and even if I failed, it was just dust that failed.”
Konji pouted his lips as if he was trying to comfort her.
“… That was comforting.”
“I can’t believe there was a guy who was worse at comforting than . This is comforting to too. Thank you, Conji. “For giving trashy comfort.”
“Joe be quiet! A greasy man!”
Sindio said.
“What will Pandea look like when all of this is over?”
“Well….”
“Could it have prevented the resurrection of the three giants? Has everyone in the Federation returned to normal?”
“… Syndio.”
“I don’t know… I don’t know why I have to fight a fight that only ends up losing sothing precious in the end… I don’t know if I can do it.”
“The question is too stiff. Let’s take so ti off. “I’m picturing a slightly closer future.”
“Okay then…”
Sindio looked into Jian’s eyes.
Jian is a gray seed.
The ti I spent with him helped understand Jian a little better.
“Will we finally reach peace?”
“Good question, Sindio.”
Jian grinned.
“It should be so.”
Sindio laughed at Jian’s lively answer.
“Sotis I feel lucky that I get to travel with you.”
“Well, I think I’m lucky to have you too. “If I had gone out with Snowfall, I would have had spider webs in my mouth.”
Night soon gave way to morning.
There was no disturbance while climbing the towering mountain. However, the inherent risk gradually increased.
“I never thought the scale of the tall wings would be this big….”
“There was a reason it was an axis of the council. “They could beco enemies.”
Like other mountains in non-administrative areas, the mountain was a sharp rock mountain, and a village was ford near its peak.
A huge village.
Lots of trolls.
And the location of this place holds an even bigger secret.
“Now look down.”
The troll who led them to the top of the mountain pointed into the distance.
“… Nonsense.”
“How is this possible?”
“amazing! amazing! “It’s a good thing you ca!”
A scenery that even the snowfall can’t help but admire. The head and fin of a turtle carrying the mountains and the earth could be seen in the distance.
[Amazing discovery! Witness the sky turtle Totombo.]
[Intelligence increases permanently by 10.]
…
High Wing lived on the shell of a giant flying turtle.
The troll grinned.
“Isn’t the world seen from above the clouds bad?”
