How to live as a wanderer

“Uh, uh...”

“Johann. Finish it. ”

John lowers his head slightly as if apologizing and gives you strength. The tumble feels its body disintegrate and is shocked.

“Well... well... oops! ”

“I'm sorry. ”

“Where did you get this bear from?! ”

The fall protested against Suetlg. He avoided pretending not to hear.

The tumble stood up and plucked. Then he made a face that he realized something.

“Marcel! Kill Marcel's Trolls!" ”

“Yes.”

“You cowardly, cunning old man! ”

“Bring me a chair. We have to entertain them. ”

The tumble hits the knee. I should have taken it more seriously when I heard the rumors!

Gulak grumbles, but doesn't break what he says. Suttle and John were able to sit in the chair as guests.

“I smell wolves. What did you do? ”

“My wolf is out there. ”

“Speak comfortably as a guest. Uh... you're a wolf? ”

“Yes.”

“May I take a look? ”

“If you don't mind.”

When John called, Karamaf walked out of the stable. The collapse surprised the massive wolf. Wolves of that size are uncommon.

“Brilliant! Wolves...”

Grrrrr.

Karamaf growls. He says he'll bite you if you touch him. The tumble immediately understood and stopped.

“How did you get to know her? ”

“Uh... he was just being friendly. Following.”

“! ”

The tumble looked at John in shock. However, John did not seem to be lying.

“It must be the magic of the forest. ”

“Don't put magic anywhere. What magic in such a dark place. ”

“Don't listen to that sly old man. The forest is truly a mystery. The sacred darkness that has been here since ancient times has enveloped the forest. The river... it's just a river. The crew peed in the river yesterday. ”

“Do you think people don't pee in the woods? ”

Gulak ignores Suetlq's words and opens his mouth.

“Monsters are one of the mysteries of the forest. If such a mystery followed you, it would be because there is a greater mystery in your blood and soul. ”

Gulak explained that when he entered the forest, he could hear and understand all kinds of animals, and he could talk to them.

It was because the cave understood the secret of the forest and accepted the mystery inside.

“Did any of your ancestors have a wolf-related anecdote? ”

“I don't think so. ”

“Then maybe you're a natural. The love of the forest, you have received a very good gift from God. ”

“...... ”

Although not a vein, John did have a point about the soul. John's soul is one of the greatest mysteries.

“That's all there is to talk about, wolf. I'm here on business. He's hard to see in the city unless it's winter. ”

Suetlq points to the fall.

“Are you staying in the city only for winter? For magical reasons? ”

“No, it's cold in winter. ”

“...... ”

“Why did you come anyway? ”

“I've come to share with you the mystery I gained while wandering. ”

Suetlq, along with his horse, laid out the fireglasses wrapped in purple cloth and the journals of the Nazarenes.

“One is a magical tool from the ancient Empire, and one is a book about shadows and fire. ”

“... what do you want? ”

“Me and this knight are on our way to Duc Brduhe. As you know, the east side of the Empire is a rough place. ”

Despite the abundance of forests, mountains and uncharted lands in the Empire, it was nothing compared to the East.

Tribes who refused the Empire and monotheism and raided the settlers, nobles who inherited the old kingdoms of the region, and worshippers of the Eastern Empire who boasted about the tradition of the Ancient Empire...

The Eastern Empire was a ferocious savage land.

“So give me some leather. ”

“...... ”

“Hide?”

“His hides are not only of good quality but also of magical power. ”

The tumble of communicating with animals while living in the forest has resulted in a better quality hide than a hunter.

“We need to be able to stop the cold because we have warmth, and we need to be tired of making spear knives difficult to do. ”

“I didn't say I would! ”

“So you're not interested? ”

Gulak had many hides, but he didn't have any. The cave scratches at the beard with a polished expression.

“So where did you get these magic tools? ”

“I can't tell you that. ”

“Knng... I hope you don't mind opening it, huh? ”

“Suit yourself. ”

The tumble took off the cloth and was surprised.

“This is a firecup! ”

“Yes, I thought you'd like it. Looks good in the woods, right? ”

“... Wait a minute. Fireglasses are usually used in pairs. ”

“I couldn't find one. Maybe it's not so bad what you're looking for. ”

The expression turned to a very suspicious expression.

“Kaenerna. Can you tell us who to bring in now? ”

“Why?”

“... We swore an oath to follow Caenerna's orders, but we have honor. I think we need to know who to bring. ”

“If you don't tell me, are you going to disobey an order? ”

“...... ”

Kaernerna smiles and says.

“I'm kidding. Can't you even joke? The Wizard is the one who wants to take him. ”

“Ah…”

The knights are relieved. It's easier to kidnap a wizard than to kidnap a nobleman. Of course, the Wizard was also a grumpy opponent.

Leading them, too, Wizard. That should be fine.

“The opponent is good at forests and beasts. They'll help you find Guy Rendel. ”

“Indeed... it is. ”

The knights were both reassured and surprised by the wizard's words. I can't believe there's something even Cayenner can't do. When I saw him in the Imperial Court, he seemed to know everything.

“Tell me the plan. ”

The knights had already made contact with the Imperial people and had bought them out.

The night watchmen who meet after evening and the guards at the gates that pass by after sunrise.

The opposing Pokémon feel much more comfortable as long as they are not in a great position and are not of noble family.

When Kaenerna sends a signal, the knights will come and defeat the wizard and pull him out, and then they will move through the darkness of the night and wait for daybreak. That was a success.

“I'd like to have a conversation if possible. ”

“Is that any way to use force on a wizard like you? ”

One of the knights asked.

I wanted to feel that way about Kaenna, who looked so distant from human emotions and didn't seem to have any blood or tears.

In fact, I wished there was more. There's always fear that you can't understand. The knights were still hard to understand, a wizard named Kaernerna.

“No. The wizard is strong. ”

“Ha. Kaenerna. No matter how powerful the wizard is...”

“Can anyone here fight a bear bare and win? ”

The knights were puzzled by a sudden question. Who fights bears barefoot unless they have weapons?

“Anybody? Then you'd better be ready to fight. The wizard has the power of the bear. Maybe even a bear in the woods. ”

Kaernerna's words are confusing, but the knights are unacceptable. She may say things she doesn't know, but she wouldn't lie in a situation like this.

“Beating is fine, so don't hesitate to swing the club. Don't just use a knife. ”

“... Yes. ”

After the story, Kaernena looks tired and asks for a long pipe. I didn't even light it, but the pipe was on fire. The knights were afraid of him.

Suetlq told John, 'The wizards' conversation will not be as interesting as I thought. '

That's not true.

The wizards' conversations were much less fun than I expected.

Where did you get this journal and where did you get the firecup? It's the same story all the time. John lay on his karamaf for hours. Karamaf growls.

“Let's take a break. ”

Grrrrr.

“? ”

Karamaf turns his head and points to the door. I cast my eyes to see if I understood the cave too.

“You have a visitor. ”

“Are there any other guests coming to you besides me? ”

“I know. ”

The tumble sweeps away the dirty hair. Unlike Suttle, who was admired for being a wise man of the Ipael River, the tumble was much more unsociable. Most people in the city didn't know him.

“Stay inside for a minute. We should treat our guests.”

“Will you test it the same way? ”

“Shut up, stay inside. ”

The cave pushes two men and one wolf inward. Then I opened the door.

“... huff. ”

Just as the opposing Pokémon realized that the Fall is a Wizard, the Fall also realized that the opposing Pokémon was a Wizard.

“I've seen it before. The Black Forest Wild, the Fall. Is that correct?"

“Who are you? ”

“The Imperial Palace Wizard. ”

“Kainerna ball? ”

“Thank you for remembering my name. Do you mind if I come inside? ”

Kaernerna sets foot inside without waiting for an answer. Uh, uh, rolling back while you're at it.

“What brings the Imperial Wizard of...? ”

“I'm here for a favor. I need to find someone, but that's not my area of expertise. I need your help. You're not going to say no, are you? ”

“... I refuse. ”

The tumble frowns and bites. I've heard the name Kaernerna a few times. In the Imperial Court, a wizard who deals with all sorts of secrets.

But a wizard who deals with the same mysteries.

The user is not naive enough to put pressure on the opposing Pokémon's authority and position.

“Why do you refuse? ”

“I'm not interested in fame, and I'm no more interested in the emperor's fortune. I'm not a hound dog, either. ”

“Emperor, that's a big misunderstanding. Just think of it as a favor, though. ”

“I'd refuse even more if I asked you to. I don't do favors very well. ”

“It's not that hard. Do you refuse a guest's request? ”

“You're not my guest yet. I didn't take you as a guest. ”

At the sound of a sudden tumble, Cayerna snorts and asks.

“Okay, so how do I get treated as a guest? ”

“Pass the test. ”

Kaernerna laughs and asks.

“Is that a test of strength? ”

The face of the cave blushes with embarrassment.

“As a wizard, you're a coward to take the only test you can win. Has anyone passed the test? ”

“I do.”

“! ”

Kaernerna's face is filled with emotion for the first time. The feeling was astonishing.

The tumble suddenly made me proud. I can't believe what Suettleg fooled me into doing today.

“Really? Amazing. Anyway, I don't want to pass that test. Are you sure you want to refuse? ”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Then we have no choice. ”

Kaernerna stands up and opens the door as if trying to leave. However, those who covered their faces with masks came through the open door.

“!!! ”

“Overpower it.”

“Kaernerna! How dare you come as a guest! ”

“You're the one who didn't treat me like a guest. ”

The tumble growls in fury. My whole body's hair looked like it was standing up at night. The knights who ignored the inner wizard also flinched.

“I swear on the name of the Black Forest, I will snap every last one of them." You filthy bastards! ”

“... Overpower them! ”

Knights stabbed in the sickness rush in.

I had only one well-trained club in my hand without armor, but it was enough to defeat a wizard who didn't know how to fight.

Boom!

The door opens and John protrudes from the inside.

John and Suetlig, who were listening from behind, were astonished by the real situation that was happening in front of them.

What did I say? I told you to watch out for the Emperor's raid!

No... no... what do you mean we're raiding like this?

Let's get out there and help!

“Er... what? ”

The knights stop at nothing more than a few tumbles. He was embarrassed by the sudden appearance.

John draws his sword.

The opposing Pokémon raises a club and doesn't want to fight this side either.

“W-wait...! ”

Before the horse was finished, the head of the knight in front of me flew off.
