Chapter 1138: Valley of Origin (1)



The next morning, I headed off on the back of Joan while following Olos and Olmir.

I had agreed to go see the elders with them, so we were heading to where the elders were.

Though normally, outsiders wouldn't be allowed to go on this journey.

Normally, even ordinary giants wouldn't be allowed to go on this journey.

The elders had a special status in the giant race, so they weren't those that anyone was allowed to meet. Only those that had a certain amount of status in the giant race were able to meet them.

But Olos and Olmir weren't as simple as they seemed.

That was what I learned when we arrived at the place where the elders were.

Since it was the place where the elders were, it was only natural that it was well guarded.

Even if the elders were among the strongest in the giant race, they were also the most important giants. So it was only natural that there would be guards that were ready to die for the elders if there was a need for it.

These were the ones that approached when Olos and Olmir led me into this valley.

They immediately raised their weapons as if they were ready to attack, but it wasn't because of Olos and Olmir that they acted this way. The reason they acted this way was because I was with them and I was riding on the back of Joan.

It was only natural that they would be on guard against this wyvern, even if it came with two giants.

"Commander Olos, this is?"

The guard seemed to recognize Olos based on what he said, but to my surprise, the guard actually called Olos 'commander'. It seemed that there really was a backstory to Olos that I didn't know about.

Olos just calmly said, "This is the human that the elders wanted to see."

The guards all seemed surprised when they heard this before turning to look at me.

He said this as if this was stating a fact.

He said this as if I had no choice but to follow orders.

But I just calmly looked back at him and said, "Since they won't allow my wyvern in, then I won't be going."

The guards knitted their brows even more when they heard this.

Some of them even raised the weapons that they had put down earlier, as if they were about to use force if there was a need for it.

Olos and Olmir both revealed frowns as well, but they put their hands on their weapons as

well.

However, unlike the guards that seemed to be targeting me, they looked like they were prepared to protect me if something happened.

It seemed that the two of them were quite loyal, or at least they were quite adamant about keeping their word.

There was a tense silence that filled the air as no one said a single thing.

Finally, the guard from before said, "You don't have a choice."

"I think I do." I said once more in a calm voice.

The guard raised his hand as if he was about to call the others to attack, but then...

"What do you think you're doing?"

When the guards heard this, they were all surprised and quickly turned to look in the direction

of this voice.

There was an elderly giant that was standing there.
