Chapter 76.1: Wyvern (3)
As I stepped out of the cave, Tiyong followed me in a very natural manner.
It seemed to be in a good mood, scratching the wall of the aisle with its wings and trying to hit me, so it was a little burdensome.
It had been less than 10 minutes since we met, but anyone who saw us would think it had been 10 years.
“…It’s really different.”
The Thunder Lord, who had been looking at me with eyes that seemed difficult to understand, spoke.
“Could that also be an ability of the Seventh Lord? Controlling and understanding the minds of monsters?”
I was dumbfounded and replied.
“You think there’s an ability like that?”
“Isn’t it abnormal for a wyvern to follow people like this from the beginning?”
Well… she had a point.
I didn’t know why this guy followed me so well.
Could it be that it really acknowledged me as its owner because I was with it in the game?
That’s good if it was so, but it’s also kind of worrying.
“Maybe it’s not you, but it’s just that this wyvern follows everyone well…”
After saying that, she quietly approached Ti-Yong.
Then, the growling guy suddenly turned into a ferocious force and burst into a roar.
Kiaag!
She frowned and stepped back.
I, who was right next to her, also suffered a blow to the eardrum, so I tapped its neck. This kid could still roar like there’s no tomorrow.
【Lv. 70]
Ti-Yong’s level was a whopping 70, higher than the wyverns of the Thunder Lord and the escort knight, and all the wyverns we encountered along the way.
In the game, because of system limitations, it could only be used for riding and flying, but here it could be used for combat.
At level 70, even if it’s not a very strong power, it’s a level where it could slaughter even a fairly strong combat unit alone.
The wyvern’s scales also had a high resistance to magic.
We quickly came out of the cave.
The Thunder Lord and the escort knight’s wyverns, who were standing on the cliff and waiting for their master to come out, let out low cries as if they were wary of Ti-Yong.
In terms of body size, the Black Wyvern, Tiyong, was noticeably bigger than the others.
Despite their hostility, Ti-Yong let out a short breath and ignored them. Did it just snort?
“Anyway, this should be the end of our business, right?”
The Thunder Lord looked back at me and asked.
I nodded.
Since I got the wyvern I was aiming for right away, there was no reason to stay in this mountain range any longer, as well as to stay with these two.
“Let’s separate right here.”
“It’s really nice to hear that.”
Then the escort knight opened her mouth.
“If you need a saddle, I’ll give you mine.”
I admired her inwardly.
It would be uncomfortable without a saddle, so I was wondering how I would ride back to the territory, but the other surprisingly offered a solution first.
“Can I?”
“Yes.”
I felt a little sorry, but since this person was an expert, she would probably be less uncomfortable than me riding without a saddle.
I didn’t bother to refuse and willingly accepted her kindness.
Although, of course, the Thunder Lord, listening to our conversation, looked at her and at me with disapproval.
Kreureung!
The wyverns spat out harsh cries.
I turned my gaze to find that Ti-Yong, who had quietly approached the Thunder Lord’s wyvern, was arguing with the other.
“That little creature…”
The Thunder Lord’s face erupted into a mixture of bewilderment and anger.
Startled by this, Ti-Yong hurriedly ran behind me and hid.
I was dumbfounded too, so I looked at the guy.
What are you doing?
Was this guy originally like this?
In many ways, it seemed very far from the usual wyverns.
Anyway, after receiving the saddle from the escort knight, she put it on Ti-Yong.
Of course, I didn’t know how to do it, so she had to do it for me.
“Stay still, Ti-Yong.”
Ti-Yong tried to struggle, perhaps because the saddle was uncomfortable or because it didn’t want to be touched by others, but the wyvern soon calmed down when I petted it.
Maybe because it was smarter than ordinary wyverns, communication seemed to be somewhat easier.
“···Ti-Yong? Have you already given it a name? It sounds unusual.”
At the sudden words of the Thunder Lord, I couldn’t hold back my laughter for a moment and almost exploded.
The reason it might sound unusual to her was because it’s Korean, not the continental language. But it was a bit funny to hear someone say the name so calmly.
Anyway, after putting on the saddle, I climbed on Ti-Yong’s back.
It flapped its wings and prepared to take off at any moment.
Finally, I looked back and said.
“See you at the next meeting, Second Lord.”
“···That’s right. Don’t ever think of using me for useless things like this again.”
I also said to the escort knight.
“Thank you for the saddle. I’ll keep it in the castle and return it later.”
“Yes. Then, take care on your way, Seventh Lord.”
Flutter!
The two of them flew up first. I tapped Ti-Yong on the neck as I watched them quickly move away across the sky.
“Let’s go too. That way.”
Ti-Yong flew up with a mighty roar, flapping its wings in the direction I pointed.
