38
As if it were a hunter’s village, each house was hanging yak meat on strings to dry or draping furs on strings to prepare for tanning. Sometimes mammoth ivory, a rare luxury item, was also seen. Since there was no way there would be a thief in a remote hunter village, it seemed like they were just leaving it out in the yard.
“They said there was no prey, so it seems to be fine?”
“There were more before, Confucius.”
The caracal that I had become friends with over the past few days answered the question.
“The quality of the fur seems poor. Old fur and dried meat. “I don’t think we’ve had any fresh game for a while.”
I shrugged. The only hunters who can hunt a mammoth that requires several knights to rush in and catch it are Kalvain’s hunters. And they traded ivory and leather with the Reinberg family at a relatively cheap price. It is Reinberg’s main trade item. If there were no prey, the losses not only for Kalbain but also for the Reinberg family would be enormous. Because you can’t raise knights to be hunters.
“Where are all the people, anyway? “Did you go hunting?”
“Seeing as the door was open, I don’t think he went hunting. Well, there is only one place for non-hunting Kalvain people to go.”
The caracal pointed to one side of the village.
It was the largest building in town, and it looked like a tavern, with liquor barrels scattered around it. Just me, Caracal and his soldier headed to the tavern. Occasionally shouting could be heard from the tavern. The sound of glass breaking or singing at the top of one’s voice could also be heard.
Before Caracal opened the door to the tavern, he apologized in advance, saying that people like Calvain were not as patient as he was.
“are you okay. “If you act like shit, I’ll treat you like shit, right?”
“yes? Confucius?”
I left the embarrassed Caracal behind and opened the tavern door wide.
At that moment, as if we had made a promise, the surroundings became quiet and stinging stares all fell on my body. I looked around the bar calmly. Dozens of Calvin people, regardless of age or gender, are gathered in a bar. A boy younger than me was holding a wooden cup filled with a yellowish liquid, so I could guess it was the town’s capital.
There’s no way they don’t know who I am.
Doesn’t he even have an emblem engraved on his hat that clearly says he’s from Reinberg?
Nevertheless, with that attitude, I was able to understand the situation to some extent.
I walked briskly into the tavern.
“Polestar Qualtz Reinberg, wearing Reinberg’s collar, I have come to eliminate Calvine’s grievances. “Who is the village chief?”
What was heard instead of an answer was the sound of clicking one’s tongue.
“Tsk tsk.”
I checked on him. She was a ‘grandmother’ who was bigger than Caracal. Everyone knows that the Kalbein people are the ones who inherited the blood of Ain. However, like caracals, most of them are closer to humans than demi-humans. But that grandmother seemed to have inherited Ain’s blood more deeply.
‘Horn’, hmm.
I heard it in my mom’s class. One of the reasons the imperial family rejects demi-humans is because they are considered evil and have horns like devils. But the cute little horns on her grandmother’s forehead looked more like mountain goats than devil’s horns.
My grandmother also had very unique eyes. Her pupils were elongated like those of a goat.
“Are you the village chief?”
“Eh, tsk tsk.”
Instead of answering, I click my tongue again. I responded with a smile and slowly looked around. Although not as great as my grandmother’s, the Kalbein people were definitely subtly different from humans. Some looked exactly like humans, while others had sharp nails like those of wild beasts, or had long fangs sticking out of their mouths.
“I guess you’re not happy with me?”
I asked them in a lively voice.
The embarrassed caracal stepped forward and said he would talk to me, but I had no intention of stopping the conversation.
“Tsk, I just called Libera.”
what? My father’s name appears.
Well, there’s no surprise that they’re acquaintances. Even if it was a few decades ago, his father trained in the land of the demihumans, so he may have encountered the Kalbane people a few times.
“I bowed my pride and asked for the best, but what kind of kid came?”
It was quite refreshing. Such an attitude towards the Prince of Reinberg, who came wearing the collar of Reinberg! This is my first time experiencing poor treatment. It was definitely different, they seemed to think of Reinberg as just a friendly neighbor.
It wasn’t just my grandmother’s thoughts. All the Calvinists who gathered at the bar did not like me. The caracal caught in the middle tried to stop the village chief, but he didn’t even pretend to listen. I pretended not to have heard what the village chief said and calmly asked a question.
“I heard the number of game has decreased? In detail, since when has it been like that? … .”
“I guess that’s all!”
Suddenly, the grandmother got angry.
“This has never happened in my life! It’s a sign, a sign. Something must have happened in the barbarian land! Hey, Libera Goyan bastard. You didn’t take this situation seriously. Hey caracal, you damn bastard. “Send the baby back immediately and bring your master back!”
“Are you making fun of us?”
“I haven’t seen any prey for several days already!”
As the grandmother screamed loudly, other people were busy shouting in agreement.
hmm.
They are easy people to understand.
They are really nice people.
It’s clearing! It’s clearing!
But the method was clumsy.
So, I had no choice but to use a clumsy method.
The attitude I should take now is not to get on my nerves by confronting Calvinists who pretend to reject me. Hasty friction is actually increasing hostility that did not exist. Given my status as Prince of Rainberg and the envoy sent by his father, what they want from me is to confirm the pure power I have, not the power that comes from my ‘position’.
So as long as I prove my strength, their complaints will subside.
It’s clearing! It’s clearing! It’s clearing!
“No, Dalby. Make it weaker. Just enough to break the roof.”
Is it clearing?
“Even if it looks like a dog.”
Daa.
Dalbi’s body glowed faintly.
I grinned and said to Caracal.
“Caracal, would you please bring the children to me?”
“Confucius?”
“It’s not a request.”
“… All right.”
When Caracal ordered his soldiers to bring the child, the Carbanes got excited and stopped him. As long as they are around, the children will not get hurt. As a scuffle was about to break out, there were people who noticed something strange.
The caracal, the old woman, and several other people looked up at the roof at the same time.
“I was so moved by the welcome greeting that I prepared a gift.”

Daa!
“Let me see, three, two.”
Ten more seconds passed.
“… one.”
Kwazijic!
At that moment, there was a loud explosion that made my ears tingle, and the roof of the bar, which had been built sturdy with layers of thick wood, began to collapse in an instant. A mess broke out. In an instant, broken debris hit people. But no one was hurt. As expected, Calvine easily dodged the piece of wood that fell on his head. The children were not injured because the soldiers and hunters nearby protected them.
As the storm passed and the dust settled, I picked up a small rock that had fallen through the floor.
Reveal your strength.
If you show your teeth by barking, they won’t behave carelessly.
It’s a lesson I learned from the twins, but it still goes too far.
“It’s a gift, lady.”
My grandmother, who had been very angry up until now, became completely mute and just stared at me blankly.
“this person! “Our tavern!”
At that time, a giant covered in dust attacked, waving his arms. I stepped back slightly, dodged his fist, and kicked him in the stomach. Compared to Lanista’s monstrous power, Calvine’s giant is at the level of a child. A giant man who was probably twice as big as me fell down clutching his stomach in one blow.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
The village chief suddenly started giggling.
He was laughing so excitedly that I thought he was going to pass out.
“Hahaha, you look exactly like my father.”
They destroyed the tavern and stabbed the man, but the village chief’s attitude became gentler.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. ha ha ha.”
“You were trying to scare me away.”
“It was to prevent unnecessary accidents. But look at this! I took a big hit! ha ha ha!”
Chief Calvine’s rude behavior was clumsy, but it was an understandable action. When Reinberg’s youngest son dies unexpectedly while acting recklessly in this remote hunter village, Calvin becomes very embarrassed. So they probably wanted to see if I could survive Calvine. It seems like I’ve known my father for a long time, so it’s not like our relationship will be soured over something like this.
If I really didn’t have the strength, it would have been better for Calvine to have run away from the first meeting.
But I went beyond their expectations and did something truly ‘twin-like’.
If we were not careful, the relationship could have deteriorated, but fortunately, the village chief had an easy-going personality.
The grandmother said as she handed me the bluish stone I held out.
“A lady, haha. Libera also called me that. “There were times when I fell in love with him the moment I saw him and chased him around like a nuisance.”
“Do you know your father?”
“When he went to the barbarian land, he gave directions for a while.”
“Hmm, I can’t believe my father has a crush on the village chief.”
“Can you tell me?”
“I’m looking forward to it, Lady.”
“haha. good. “Let’s go home.”
As the village chief left, he struck the head of the giant who had attacked me.
“Caracal, will you share all the gifts you brought with everyone here?”
“Confucius… … .”
Every time the twins did something strange, they called me ‘Moon Child’ and I got involved.
But I thought there would be no more unfair things to do.
* * *
After a conversation with the village chief.
I left the hotel and looked around the village.
Perhaps because it was a remote place close to a barbarian land, there were many spiritual beasts.
There were quite strong spirit beasts that could not be seen in the Quartz Forest, approaching the level of a land god.
“Where is it?”
It wasn’t in the tavern.
I asked the village chief.
‘That bitch walks around with her tail even during hunting season. ‘You damn bitch.’
I heard that.
I heard that he sometimes leaves the village for several days without even coming to town, so I thought it would be quicker to go looking for him in person. I headed quite far from Calvine. The closer you get to the barbaric land, the more numerous the spirits become. Normally, the spirits hated me, but since Dalbi was by their side, they couldn’t attack me or anything.
Dalbi was jumping around and playing, and when he found Youngsoo, he ran over and played with him. The squirrel spirit climbs on the guy’s back, and the wolf spirit licks the guy’s head. Whether it was a tree spirit or a pond spirit, they were all kind to Dalbi.
“It’s strange.”
Even though I had already walked for an hour, I could only see spirits and no ‘beasts’.
There wasn’t even a trace. Even in the thick snow field, there is not a single small footprint.
