Chapter 241

[ Episode 241. Shadow Fang and Hire ]

Actually, it was easy to find out if there were cubs or not.



All you have to do is to resurrect the undead Shadow Fangs that have been skinned and guide them to where the cubs were.

It was as cruel as killing him twice, but to be honest, I felt no more than a fingernail of remorse.

‘But now that Vivian is by my side...’

Even if Vivian guessed my identity, revealing it openly was another matter.

First, the body of Shadow Fang was buried and marked.

It was so huge that I couldn’t carry it with me right away, and when I had time later, I planned to come back and turn it into an undead.

“This way.”

Vivian guided me by tracking the scent.

I’m thinking about it now, but it was a crazy sense of smell.

Could it be that there are a number of ancestors?

“I think it’s near here.”

The place she guided was in a forest not much different from other places.

There was nothing special about it except that it had gone a little deeper, so Vivian looked around with a troubled expression.

Now it’s my turn

“found.”

Shadow Fang had the ability to remove traces, but since it was a creature, it had to emit something.

However, it had a habit of disguising its discharge as a trace, and rather, it was found because of that.

“What is this?”

“It’s his bowel movement.”

“this?”

A seemingly ordinary plant.

But it was Shadow Fang’s droppings.

I don’t know how the internal structure came about, but it’s an amazing result.

It’s not like I’m eating grass.

That wasn’t the only trace of him.

A thorough search of the surroundings revealed traces of what was believed to be that of a baby.

It seemed that the mother had thrown away what was wrapped up in the nest here.

“please wait for a moment.”

I packed their excrement in the small backpack I had brought with me before I finished tracking the cubs.

It was used as a precious potion ingredient, so you can’t miss it.

Vivian’s expression darkened, but in the end she nodded as if she understood.

“Because Adrias is a wizard.”

“I’ll make a potion for Vivian with this later.”

“......okay.”

The reaction was funny, so I made a joke and even tracked down the nest.

And there was nothing in the tunnel in the bush they found.

“It smells like this...”

“It looks like it was caught.”

As much as it has the shape of a wolf, it also has the habits that a wolf would have, so it must have made nests in several places.

And what lured us here seemed to have caught us with high intelligence.

It seemed that he had thoroughly calculated the probability of his own death, twisting and turning.

“It’s not just a spiritual creature. It’s the first time I’ve seen a spiritual creature, and it’s amazing.”

Vivian looked at me with eyes wondering what to do now.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was already falling from the middle of the sky.

“I’m okay.”

“Then let’s find more. Eventually you will have to find it. It’s not an ordinary guy, so even if it’s a cub, it can probably grow into an adult on its own.”

There was no giving up because I had to pull out the roots.

It’s just the difference between going a little slower or going slower, but Vivian listened to me and nodded.

“let’s go. I will help you.”

After searching the forest again, we eventually found two more nests, but only traces of the babies were found.

When the day gets dark, the characteristics of the shadow fang are more strongly expressed, so I couldn’t find it.

So when we had no choice but to return to the village with an appointment for the next day, people were waiting for us.

“Did you wait without sleeping?”

“His Excellency went to solve the dangerous thing himself, but we can’t be sleeping.”

Saying that, the village chief’s gaze was not on me, but on the leather of the shadow fang that was caught on my shoulder.

“I can’t believe that...”

“People’s testimonies were correct. It was a shadow fang, a spirit creature.”

Crump!

– growl.

Because he took off his skin, he was summoned as a revenant.

The manly, muscular wolf had no skin, but its flesh itself was dark and boasted a black sheen.

“This is not bad. You are now Go.”

The condition looked better than expected.

I climbed on the baduk player and gave the order.

“Guide them to the nest where the young are.”

– growl.

Even thinking about having him guide me to the nest made me feel like the world’s most evil person.

What can I do though? You shouldn’t have hit people in the first place.

The place where the baduki, who ran with great speed, arrived was farther than expected.

It was so deep that it almost crossed the boundary of the adjacent territory, but I was nervous that I might run into Vivian.

“Here.”

The tunnel we finally arrived at was as complicated as a maze.

However, since they came all the way here, finding the cub was a piece of cake.

-Beep! beep!

“I didn’t expect this again.”

I thought it would be one at most, but it turned out to be six.

Everyone was struggling without even opening their eyes, but everyone seemed to be in good condition.

I canceled the summons of the go player and moved closer to the pups.

Here, if they reacted warily, there was no hope of taming them.

-Beep!

However, they were really few people, so they just struggled and dug into my arms.

Even so, it was quite large, the size of a normal adult dog.

“It’s a problem to take him.”

If it was just one, I would just take it with me, but I had no idea there would be so many.

In the first place, the objects called young creatures were about one at a time, and it was a jackpot.

I couldn’t move these all at once, so after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to call someone.

First of all, you should take only one.

I picked up one of them and arrived at the place I had promised with Vivian and waited until it was noon in no time.

“ah!”

As soon as I arrived, Vivian, who burst into exclamation at the baby I brought, approached me with her eyes shining.

Then he carefully knelt down and touched the calf.

“Did you find it?”

“Yes, but there is a problem.”

“What problem? Should I kill you?”

Surely not? Seeing Vivian staring at me intently, I thought that she likes cute things more than I thought.

“That’s not it, it wasn’t this one.”

“How many?”

“Six.”

Vivian put on a surprised expression as she held the baby in her arms.

“six?!”

“Even though they are babies, I couldn’t bring them all because they were so big. I guess I’ll have to ask people to bring it.”

“Can you raise it?”

“Yes, you can grow it. They are just-born children.”

Vivian’s brightened face was worth seeing, as if she wanted to hear that she could grow it.

But soon the hand that was stroking the baby stopped and asked worriedly.

“How do you grow them?”

“yes? Well...”

I thought it would be okay to just give them meat and raise them, but it was definitely something to think about.

In the game, I was just raised systematically, so I thought that raising it myself could be different.

Then I suddenly realized that we didn’t need to raise it.

“I hire someone to raise it.”

“Is there anyone who can raise a spirit creature?”

“Yes.”

The only summoner among the playables.

I’m going to hire him to make a link at this point.
