BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 Warped Situation
Getting out of the Seivet city, Zick headed towards the forest in the distance. It was already noon by the time he had finished buying everything he needed.
Entering the dense forest, Zick felt that something was different from before. Mana rose from the ground faintly, after getting the dragon Lord\'s heart he has been able to see the mana in the air with his eyes like this.
The mana rising from the ground led to the centre of the forest, but Zick started running towards where the wyvern and two eggs were hurriedly.
\'I shouldn\'t get involved with suspicious things for no reason...\'
Zick didn\'t want to get involved in shady things like this just yet and there is a chance that it might be the black market. If by chance the demihuman he met in the city were to find him then it would just lead to a ugly situation.
Grrrrrh.....
A wolf with white fur appeared through the dense tree, slowly more of them emerged from behind it, Looking at Zick with their red eyes.
"Tch!"
Zick could only click his tongue at this, he had not released his dragon aura while running towards the wyvern. He was in a hurry right now so he let a little of his dragon fear out.
Grrrrr.... Grrrrr.....
The wolf Whimpered and stared at Zick for a few seconds then started running away, Zick got surprised internally looking at them. A normal monster would have started running the moment they felt dragon fear but this wolf was still exposing their fangs threateningly before running away.
\'They have been trained....I should get out of here faster.... the quicker I get out of here the lower my chances of getting involved becomes.\'
Reaching in front of the wyvern which was sleeping all curled up, Zick released a little more of his dragon fear.
Crerrrgh.....
Waking up the wyvern, Zick walked towards it hurriedly but he never stopped controlling his strength. Some of the trees near the wyvern were covered in blood showing that monsters had tried attacking it prior to his arrival.
But it was easily taken care of by the wyvern as it has the strength of a high rank knight.
"Hmm..."
Zick started frowning, feeling the presence heading towards his direction. He could feel the same presence of the demihuman he had met in the city.
\'They already came.....\'
Even if he started flying away with the wyvern now, it would just make it look more suspicious to the demihumans. Standing in front of the wyvern Zick waited for their arrival. He thought of the possibilities of what might happen here, while thinking about it, suddenly his expression grew solemn.
\'Though the dragon eggs are not giving out any mana there is a chance for the demihuman to find out with their instincts.\'
Zick\'s expression turned cold thinking of this, he put the two eggs in the leather bag he brought and put it above the wyvern. This situation just kept warping into more and more disadvantageous to him then he thought.
\'If I showed them the crest of the Melvix family there shouldn\'t be any danger to my life at least.....but I can\'t let them find out about the two eggs...\'
The two demihuman and five humans reached where Zick stood in a minute.
"ehh....."
"Ohh! it\'s that kid again"
Serlece confused voice and Jerg amused voice rang out through the forest. Jerg looked at Zick with interest in his eyes, when they had met in the city he couldn\'t feel it but now that he stood right in front of him a weird feeling rose within him. He could feel that Zick was different then other humans. His instinct which he trust the most told him that if he tried fighting Zick thing wouldn\'t go right.
\'He looks like a human kid.....but still has grown to such a level...his talent must be unheard of in the whole continent.....\'
Even the sword in Zick\'s hip made his fur stand up straight but it gave rise to a different feeling than what he could feel from Zick, it was a disgusting and evil feeling almost like thousands of corpses were formed into a mountain and left to degrade in the open.
\'hm....\'
The bag at the back of the wyvern also gave his instinct a weird feeling but it was the first time he felt this.
No human would have been able to find the sword and two eggs within the bag as something dangerous or weird, only this demihuman who has refined his instinct from a very long time was able to tell their level of danger at a glance.
"So what are you doing in the middle of the forest?"
Jerg asked with his fangs exposed like he was smiling, hiding his surprise within.
"I left my wyvern here in the forest so as to not make the citizens of the city wary of me."
Zick told the truth without hiding the reason he left the wyvern here.
\'Now he even has a wyvern as a pet.....\'
Jerg squinted his eyes, when he tried to open his mouth to speak again, his eyes widened.
Zick had taken out the crest from his space ring.
"That....."
Zick tossed it at the wolf demihuman in front of him.
Catching it from the index and thumb finger\'s nails, he looked at it with a serious expression.
\'it\'s real...\'
Still Jerg passed it to the mage behind him to make sure.
"c-captain, it\'s real"
The mage who looked the most senior spoke out with a solemn voice. Passing the confirmed crest back to Jerg, the mage walked back to the other two mages.
"So it\'s a real Melvix family\'s plaque..."
"Just give it back wolf head"
Zick didn\'t bother speaking reserved anymore, with the crest proven as real, there wasn\'t anything they could do to him unless they wanted to pick a fight with Melvix family.
"It\'s Jerg"
Saying this the demihuman tossed the crest back at Zick.
"Whatever"
Catching the crest from his right hand, he said this. Ignoring them, he climbed upon the wyvern.
"Hey wait, I still wanted to ask about something. What is in that bag above..."
Jerg stopped speaking, feeling his body momentarily freeze up. His eyes widened at what he was feeling.
\'fear...? Am I feeling fear from this kid?\'
He had not felt like this even when he met the bishop of the sun god temple named Jerel, He considered him as the strongest person he met throughout his life. But even jerel couldn\'t make him feel fear like this.
Jerg felt his animal instincts screaming of an impending doom.
\'This can\'t be.....\'
All seven of the people sent by Anelete froze, with the priest and mages even breathing raggedly. Serlece\'s whole body trembled rendering her immobile.
"What does this have anything to do with you? weren\'t you looking for the black market? it\'s that way so just get going"
Zick spoke with a cold voice and pointed at the centre of the forest with his finger. He had released the dragon fear without suppressing it at all after hearing the question Jerg was going to ask. He looked down at them from the back of the wyvern, Jerg was able to move again, getting out of his initial surprise.
"We weren\'t trying to be rude...."
Jerg tried to speak up and fix this situation but his words were cut half way through by Zick\'s voice.
"go"
Zick ordered the wyvern ignoring what the demihuman had to say.
Flapping its wing, the wyvern started flying.
\'It doesn\'t seem like he noticed that there are two dragon eggs here...\'
Zick knew that meeting a dragon was very hard but he couldn\'t help but be in his guard the whole time. He didn\'t know how many dragons there were in the first continent but he knew how many there were in the second continent.
In the novel, there were totally only 10 dragons throughout the second continent. Which showed that meeting a dragon was very hard.
"Sigh..."
Zick sighed in relief knowing that the dragon eggs were not found out. After a few minutes, he let himself relax at last. Taking out the map he brought from the seivet city, he looked at it closely.
\'It would take at least a week to reach the Melvix family estate....I should try learning a little magic while travelling then.....\'
