Chapter 121 Heart Pounding Vacation 2?
Part 1
In this world, there are dangerous places that you should refrain from entering as much as possible.
Treasure Hunters tend to forget, but for a normal traveler, mountains and forests that are not under the control of the country are at the top of the list.
In mountains and forests that are inaccessible to humans, there are an abundance of foods and valuable resources that could be harvested and sold at a high price if you bring it back to a town. However, there are dangers that can outweigh these advantages. There is a reason why those items will be sold at a high price when they are available.
It was because of the Monsters. Harsh terrain and carnivorous wildlife were also troubling, but they paled in comparison to the threat Monsters posed.
Compared to easily accessible plains, mountains and forests that are far from a town and humans reach, possess troublesome Monsters that would immediately be a target for subjugation if they were found near human settlements. Those Monsters have created their own ecosystem.
In addition, studies have also shown that at earth veins, which are the pathways for Mana Material, often pass under mountains and forests, and that tend to make the Monsters living there grow more powerful than their common counterpart.
Garest Mountains exist within the territory of the Empire, but were a land that was largely untouched.
The road that barely exists anymore was built a long time ago and has not been maintained for a long time, it was barely wide enough for a carriage to pass.
Compared to the maintained roads, the ground is uneven and just by sitting still in the carriage, you can tell that this road is the kind of road you would call a bad road.
In the midst of the violent vibrations, I wondered if this road would eventually disappear too, as I thought to myself while running away from reality.
Outside the carriage, there were a lot of angry shouts. I can’t see the scene outside the carriage because the curtains were closed, but I can tell that they were fighting against a Monster.
I heard the cry and the scream of a mysterious Monster and the carriage shook greatly. The horse neighed and a metallic sound overlapped it.
Liz sloppily laid flat on her back, rubbed her exposed stomach and smile without any tension.
............ Neee, why aren’t you guys fighting?
No matter how many escorts you have hired, it was clear that they weren’t enough. And Liz was definitely stronger than the escorts. Sytry was a rearguard, but it didn’t mean that she can’t fight.
I took the mountain road over a road with Arnold in it because I thought that if those girls were here, my safety would be guaranteed.
The usual Liz would never have stayed still when there was all those noises outside the carriage.
When I was wondering when she would go out, I lost the timing to point this out. Was there any reason for this?
The carriage swings loudly again, and you could hear a faint cursory scream from outside.
...... I have been thinking about it for a while now, but Black-san and his friends...... Aren’t they a little bit pitiful.
Even if there was some kind of intent behind it, it was very uncomfortable for me, as I am a person with common sense.
But if there was no one talking about it, doesn’t that mean that I am the only one who doesn’t understand the situation?
I hesitate a little, but I gather my resolve and check with Sytry.
TL notes:
Happy new year and thanks for reading!
It’s already the end of the year, thank you for following my translation! Let’s hope 2021 will be a better year and more chapter to read!
And Cry, they aren’t doing anything because you order them not to, did you forget?
Will Cry leave all the battle to Black, White and Gray? Will he finally understand why Liz, Sytry and Tino are not fighting?
Tchao à plus!
