Chapter 1020: First contact



From above, we were able to see exactly what the source of the smoke was.

With how big the giants were, it was easy to see them.

At the same time, it meant that the things that they built were also quite big.

The fire that they lit was already as big as a house and would have certainly been considered a weapon in the human world. But for these giants, it was just a normal fire that they were gathered around.

Based on the clothes that these giants wore and the weapons that they used, they seemed to

be a group of hunters that were out hunting for food. Looking to the side of this group, I could also see that there were some large animals that were there.

Normal human hunters would go for things like deers and rabbits, but for these giant hunters...

Deers and rabbits were nothing more than a morsel for giants, so it wasn't as if they could fill themselves with these things.

The things that these giant hunters hunted were much more wild than the things that human hunters hunted.

These were creatures that I had expected to see since coming to this magic fantasy world. The giants hunted things like giant boars, giant snakes, and all kinds of giant creatures. These were clearly magic beasts that were also considered monsters in human society.

If these things appeared in the lands controlled by humans, they would immediately be killed out by adventurers hired by the human nobles. So there was no way that these magic creatures would appear in the lands of the humans.

After all, most humans were quite weak compared to normal monsters, so they couldn't just live alongside them.

For these giants that were strong since they were born, they could easily live with these magic beasts and even use them as food.

That was just the difference between races.

Though they were just a few hunters, I wasn't disappointed after finding them.

Rather, I felt that this was better than finding a tribe of giants.

The giants were over twenty meters tall, even larger than the wyverns that we rode...

Well, that was except for Joan that I was sitting on since she was the Wyvern Queen, the largest out of all the wyverns. Though she was only a bit taller than the giants in the first place.

With their large size, it was only natural that their vocal chords were also much bigger, which made their voices very loud.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "We are human merchants who have lost our way. Are you interested in perusing our wares?"

The giants were all taken aback when they heard this.

Not only were they surprised by the fact that I didn't seem scared of them at all, they were

even more surprised by the fact that I was trying to sell them things.

It had been a long time since humans had come to their land and there certainly had never

been a human that rode on the back of a wyvern to visit them.

So they couldn't help being curious of this human who was so bold.

But that didn't mean that they let their guards down.

After a moment of silence, the giant said, "Even if you're lost, do you really think that you should be trading with us?"

Though he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious what he was implying.

But I didn't panic at all as I looked up at the giant and said with a smile, "A customer is a customer. As long as you're willing to buy from me, that's enough."

There was a tense silence that hung in the air before the giant suddenly burst into a booming

laugh.

After laughing for a bit, the giant said, "It's been a while since I've seen a bold human like you."
