“ah! It’s hot! “Go away!”
Why doesn’t Reppenhardt come when he’s asked to come, and the strict men stick around? Iniya looked at the large, muscular man leading the way with dissatisfied eyes. He was trampling on the bushes, clearly showing off his cleft back muscles.
Iniya gave a coy look and made a hand gesture.
“Hey, Mr. Leffenhardt? “Aren’t you hot?”
I’m cool! It’s so cool! It was a hand gesture full of meaning: “Now, come here.” Reppenhardt looked back and said.
“Pay attention to preserving your stamina, Iniya. “There is still a long way to go.”
Certainly, the heat is so intense that even if you emit a brief chill, it soon disappears into thin air. However, it is not possible to emit an aura all day long.
Iniya crossed her fingers at his indifferent reaction.
‘Hey, if Repenhardt is hot, I can work hard until I get tired!’
In fact, Reppenhardt didn’t seem to be that interested in her coldness. Iniya pouted her lips and withdrew her cold aura.
‘Chii… … .’
After a brief moment of heaven, heatwave hell unfolded again. Everyone gasped and took steps again.
In fact, Leffenhardt was enduring this environment quite well compared to others.
‘Ah, good! This body is the best!’
Of course, he was also sweating a lot all over his body. However, Jim Unbreakable’s trained body feels this level of heat as just ‘moderately warm’.
Even the flying insects that flocked to him were no problem to him. If there was a flying insect that could stick a stinger into a body that couldn’t even be penetrated by a spear or a knife, that species of insect would probably have conquered the world.
‘Compared to when I came before, it’s a world away.’
Reppenhardt was happy as he recalled the memories of his past life.
When I came here before, I thought I was really going to die. My body was extremely weak in my previous life, and even though I cast the ultimate survival spell, Survival, on my entire body, I couldn’t handle the heat and often got exhausted. In the end, Siris and Tashid took turns carrying him and barely made it through the jungle.
‘But it’s different now!’
There’s no need to be carried around like you did back then! You can move forward on your own feet like a man!
Smiling, Reppenhardt continued walking. After clearing away the visible bushes, a path was soon completed for people to pass through. If Reppenhardt had not cleared the path by clearing the path by clearing the path like a siege truck, knocking down all the bushes like a siege engine, most of the people in the back, with their bare arms and legs exposed, would have been swept away and cut by the grass.
In tropical rainforests, various types of vines cover the canopy of the forest, making the bottom part dark, making it difficult for grasses to grow well. Thanks to this, it wasn’t that difficult to clear the path.
In any case, most of them were exhausted tropical forced marchers. But there was one person in front of me who was jumping around excitedly.
“This way! This way, this way!”
A blue-skinned troll girl came down from the tree and stuck her head out. It was Titima, Paguru of Atilka.
Silan stuck out his tongue.
“… … “That’s very exciting.”
Originally, this place, the rainforest Pluntan, was the main habitat of trolls. Although most of the troll tribes have now migrated to the country of Antares, Titima’s tribe originally lived in this jungle. From her perspective, she couldn’t help but be excited as she was returning to her hometown.
“White King! “There’s a stream ahead!”
Titima, who had looked ahead in advance, made a gesture. Reppenhardt nodded and muttered.
“Good job bringing him here.”
Originally, I had no intention of bringing Titima.
If this was the first time I had come to this rainforest, I would have brought at least a troll guru with me to provide directions. But he had already been here in his previous life. He doesn’t really need directions. He just said that Cilan was coming and that he couldn’t leave, and Titima was clinging to him like a leech, so he couldn’t refuse.
But when I actually brought Titima with me, it was really comfortable.
They carefully find the way, find drinking water and fruits to drink, and even guide you to rest areas where you can rest. Other people are still singing about how they are going to die, but actually, compared to my previous life, I am moving around much more easily.
‘It was a really difficult thing to do in the past. ‘Maybe you should have hired a guide back then?’
However, the human guide had never tried to go this deep, and since he had not developed a deep friendship with the troll like he does now, Reppenhardt had nothing to do at the time.
Leppenhardt said, looking back.
“Let’s go a little further and rest.”
The group’s expressions brightened. Titima asked, running through the trees like a monkey and returning to the group.
“Baek King, are you going to have lunch too?”
“You would, why?”
Reppenhardt nodded and asked. Then, with shining eyes, Titima gestured to Cilan.
“Cilan! Cilan!”
“huh? why?”
She pointed to the other side of the jungle she had just run through.
“Go over there by yourself for a moment.”
“huh?”
Puzzled, Silan stepped forward. Titima smiled brightly and flew up the tree again. The others stood in their places and watched the scene blankly.
Silan, separated from the group, makes his way through the jungle. It was at that moment that he was about 20 meters away from his companions.
Saaaa!
With a sharp sound, a huge snake fell from the tree and attacked Silan!
“Ugh!”
Silan screamed in surprise. Repenhardt and other Auror users were also shocked. I obviously didn’t feel anything, but suddenly such a magical beast came out?
Predators in the wild usually target the weak and left out of the group. When Silan acted separately, he was judged to have been abandoned.
“oh! Cilan!”
Reppenhardt and Iniya were about to run away to save Cilan. Titima fell with a dagger on top of the king serpent that was trying to swallow Silan headfirst.
“thank you for this food!”
With a cry, Titima stabbed the snake squarely in the skull. The large snake wriggled for a moment, as if it had hit exactly the right spot, and then fell limp.
“… … Ugh.”
Silan, who had been frozen, trembled and turned his head. Silan shouted with a pale face.
“hey! Titima! “Are you just using someone as bait?”
Titima smiled innocently as she landed.
“good job! Cilan!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Pluntan, a tropical rainforest where over 3,000 species of trees grow. There are many trees here that are nearly 70 meters tall and palm trees with leaves up to 10 meters long. Leffenhardt and his party created a temporary resting place under such a large tree. By breaking branches to build a framework and erecting a screen with huge leaves, we were able to create some usable shade.
The exhausted group found some shade and lay down. Reppenhardt used magic to create a simple barrier to keep out heat and insects.

In the meantime, Titima was trimming the king constrictor meat with excitement.
“Lalala… … .”
Trolls do not burn even a single tree carelessly. So currently, she was gathering dead tree branches, sewing up pieces of king constrictor meat, and cooking them with a magical flame. Since she didn’t burn fuel separately, there wasn’t much smoke.
Soon the scent of fatty snake meat spread everywhere.
“Hmm… … .”
“Oh oh… … .”
The people lying down began to wrinkle their noses. Everyone had been filling their meals with cured meat, biscuits, and occasionally tropical fruits picked by Titima.
Although Reppenhardt has placed a long-term preservation magic on each food item, this magic slows down the rate of decay, so over time, the food loses its taste and loses moisture. After all, there is no comparison with freshly caught meat.
My mouth watered when I saw fresh meat for the first time in a long time. Russ muttered, savoring the scent.
“It’s an amazing smell.”
Tashid also smiled expectantly and responded.
“For the first time in a while, I’ll be eating soft meat.”
Marceline and Reppenhardt were also rubbing their hands and looking forward to the upcoming dinner. Iniya continued to lick her lips.
An elf eating snakes may seem a bit strange, but the Styrian clan was originally a clan that lived in the North Sea by catching sea lions and fish and eating seaweed. Could it be possible for a sea snake to be as unpleasant as raw snake meat grilled on a plate?
On the other hand, Silan was still gritting his teeth and glaring at Titima.
“Ah, guess I’ll never believe you again…” … .”
“What’s wrong, Cilan? “You want to act like a man?”
“I want to be a man, not a piece of shit, right?”
“Isn’t it the most manly thing to do to become bait for your family’s food?”
Titima blinked and made an incomprehensible expression.
‘No, whenever you open your mouth, you sing asking to be treated like a man, so why are you angry when I treated you like a man properly?’
This is why cultural differences are scary.
“If you don’t like it, don’t eat silan.”
“Why don’t you eat it?”
Fire is fire, meat is meat. Besides, wasn’t it Silan himself who made the greatest contribution to catching this giant snake?
“Even if you eat, you have to eat more than others! cancer!”
Eventually, the snake meat was cooked. A pleasant meal time unfolded. Everyone sat down on the palm leaves and ate snake meat, fruit, and bread.
While chewing the meat, Marceline suddenly spoke.
“It’s already been 23 days since we left Aranan Grad.”
Leppenhardt and his party departed from the White King’s Palace, Gairach, and headed to the Chloe Portal located inside the Glotten Mountains. From there, he went through the Grand Forge, crossed space through the Thidaen Portal located near the Setelad Desert, entered the Kingdom of Halain, and took a ship to get here. At their travel speed, it would have been a journey that would have taken 15 days at most.
Repenhardt shrugged his shoulders and responded.
“But I guess you came this quickly, Marceline.”
Unlike before, now Reppenhardt and other races have become so famous that they cannot show their faces without permission. So, since we used the route used by smugglers, it took more time.
Titima put some snake meat on her bread and took a bite.
“Aang! Mmm, it’s delicious!”
Russ and Tashid followed suit, noticing what was happening. Although the bread was dry, it became softer as the fat from the snake meat soaked in.
Russ asked a question while biting into a piece of bread that had become soft.
“How much more do I have to go?”
After calculating for a moment, Reppenhardt answered calmly.
“About 15 days?”
In an instant, the group’s complexion changed. No, do you mean we have to continue like this for another 15 days?
Iniya in particular became very thoughtful. Leffenhardt comforted the group.
“It will be better because we can stop by the Erekaka tribe along the way. “I will rest there for a while, recover my stamina, and then move again.”
The Erekaka tribe was a troll tribe that had not yet migrated to the country of Antares and remained in the rainforest. Titima had announced their movements in advance by sending out a magic dragonfly, so by now they would be waiting for their arrival and preparing to greet them.
‘I hadn’t even thought of that. As expected, you did a good job bringing Titima.’
Repenhardt also continued his meal, looking at Titima with proud eyes. Suddenly, Marceline whispered to Reppenhardt secretly.
‘Ah, by the way, Mr. Leffenhardt. If you find the relic of the Four Directions God, will you be able to completely regain the power of your past life?’
The ancient artifact that Repenhardt is trying to find, the relic of the Four Directions.
I had already heard about this when I left the country. According to him, the artifact was like a kind of magical power filler, an object in which an enormous amount of magical power was concentrated, far exceeding the amount allowed for one individual.
However, there was something different from other magic power fillers.
The magic properties of the relics of the four directions were always in harmony with the outside world.
For other artifacts, even if mana drain is applied to absorb magic power, the caster must first digest it and convert it into his or her own magic power before it can become the driving force for using magic. However, the four directions relic adds mana according to the caster’s unique magic flow without any such conversion process.
In other words, regardless of the wizard’s mana allowance, although it exists as external magic power, it can use that power as if it were one’s own.
Most wizards’ magic and level increase together, so even if you obtain that artifact, you can use the existing magic several times, but it will not allow you to use higher level magic. But isn’t Leppenhardt’s current problem that his magic power is too low compared to his level? If you have the relics of the Four Directions God, you will be able to use the magic of yesteryear without any problems right now!
‘I heard that even in my past life, I used it to help me reach the level of the 10th circle… … .’
Reppenhardt made an ambiguous expression as he looked at the expectant Marceline.
