We Live in Dragon's Peak

385 Predators hiding in the bushes



"To be honest, I thought the Beasts would stick around a little bit more."

"When you entered the ruined capital, you stopped coming to me. Fighting in the meadows was the final line of defense."

"I just thought they were rough idea guys, but surprisingly, they keep every decision."

My conversation with Listeir is due to the cleanliness of the Beasts.

After the battle of arms trials, the Forgannes began to regain consciousness after a few moments. And know defeat.

"O brave men and king of dragons, you have proven yourselves and shown yourselves. Let\'s honor that strength and follow it honestly. I thank you, on behalf of the Beast Clan, for your namesake to May\'s guardian."

Lighter than I thought, Forganne bowed her head.

I\'m not still waving my tail at Lily, who sits in the meadow. The Beast tribe recognized our strength with an arms test. They follow the strong, simple reason. It is the Sovereign elected by the oldest Lady Jabalayan, or the powerful to yield ourselves. Apparently, me and Listaire were accepted by the Beast Clan.

Relatively as an enemy, he is a very ferocious and untouchable opponent, but if reconciled, he found himself a straight race with no backdrop.

If May stays baptized and becomes officially a Sovereign, I\'m sure the Beasts will be able to move on to a wonderful future.

I think Listeer and I are going to give that a boost, but I\'m very excited about this.

May was chosen by the Sovereign as the one who, in divination, leads the Beastman tribe to prosperity. I hope I can assist you with cultural exchanges with Dragon Peak and people to prove that Master Jabalayan\'s fortune was right.

I was worried about what would happen for a while, but from the results, I think I\'m taking it in a beneficial direction to the Beasts and us.

But.

Not everything was going well.

"Ernea, Mae won\'t wake up."

Two days had already passed since the disturbance.

May, who was severely poisoned, also took his life by nursing the Luiseinese. But I can\'t think of the way it went after that.

There\'s always no sign of waking up.

How strange, so we decided to consult with the representatives of the Folgannes and the Beasts.

Maybe some poison is used that the witches Luiseinese don\'t even know about.

I suspected the curse and all that, but there seemed to be no particular sign of such evil when Master Jabalayan looked into it.

If this happens, let\'s call in the pharmacist Hoochen. But the Beast Clan of the Horse Breed I picked up still hasn\'t come back.

"My brave warrior Gawon, let me ask you a few questions about May"

Forganne and the others left the care of May to us and waited outside the ruined capital until the baptism.

Apparently, the ruined capital inhabited by Master Jabalayan is a sacred place for the Beasts, and he can\'t do anything to stay in peace.

That\'s why you were the final line of defense in front of the ruined capital.

"I inherited your uncle\'s will and visited the settlement of the sheep breed where May lives. But I couldn\'t make it..."

"I want you to wait a minute. Can we ask you one more question?"

Listeer raised her hand and wished to speak.

"First I wondered, what happened to Gawon\'s uncle, Lord Larzegan? From what you\'ve been saying, Lord Razegan has been escorting Master Jabalayan?

"Oh, I wondered that, too."

Larzegan, Master Jabalayan\'s escort. But I haven\'t seen him in the last two days. What you see are people of the same species as Jabalayan, and these people were taking care of Jabalayan around them.

But I don\'t see any sign of any other species, that is, men of the same dog breed as Gawon.

"My uncle... was killed"

"What!?

"With the divination of the prayer master Jabalayan, my uncle was to inform the sheep breed. But the day after he left the ruined capital, he was attacked by someone. My uncle made it to the dog-breed colony and entrusted me with it."

"Who the hell killed you?

Normally, I wonder if that would mean other Beastmen who disagree with Mae becoming a Sovereign. However, further questions were to arise about Forganne\'s words.

"In the first place, we should only know who the Sovereign will be from which tribe the next day, and that is Master Jabalayan and the preacher. So when Razegan was discussed, no one knew who would still be the next Sovereign. We also found out because whoever heard Razegan\'s word to Gawon at the time of his death spread it. I don\'t know what it means to discuss Razegan at a time when I don\'t know who\'s going to be the Sovereign."

"I want you to wait a minute. So you haven\'t figured out who attacked Larzegan yet?

"I\'m ashamed, but that\'s what\'s gonna happen"

The Forgannes tried to stop May from becoming a Sovereign. But they would have been outside the mosquito nets at first.

Perhaps I will be chosen as the next Sovereign. The named Beast tribe must have had a lot of expectations and waited for the news of Larzegan. I can\'t find any reason for such a person to attack Larzegan, the preacher, earlier. So, what\'s the raider\'s intent?

"I\'m also concerned about the raiders, but I guess it\'s about May first. Gawon, talk first."

"Okay. It\'s probably more important now than a lesser clue story. Let\'s get back to it. I followed my uncle to the sheep catchment. You went out for dinner. But as I said earlier, I didn\'t make it. May\'s dinner was poisoned."

"What!?

It was Forganne who gave her a shocking voice.

"What, why are you surprised? Aren\'t the Forgannes the ones who planted the poison? \'Cause you didn\'t want May to be a priest, so much so that you waited."

"Say stupid. Try to remember what you\'ve been talking about again. We only found out after Larzegan lost his life. Can you outrun Gawon, who ran ahead to the sheep catchment? And I can\'t even poison May\'s dinner."

"If you ask me..."

So who poisoned May\'s rice? The answer came out briefly. Someone attacked Larzegan.

"As one possibility. Any chance the raiders heard from Larzegan? And not to humiliate the dead. I guess Larzegan was also against May\'s Sovereign Worship Order. Is there any chance that he was leaking it in advance?

Listeir-like sharp pointers, but all of the Beastmen present shook their heads.

"Only Razegan, that\'s never gonna happen"

"My uncle was a great warrior and a guardian with full confidence from Master Jabalayan"

"Larzegan is also a person. There would have been a lot going on inside. But I would never do anything to betray Master Jabalayan. Disgruntled enough to do his part and entrust Gawon with his death."

Listeir\'s allegations were denied due to the strong tone of the Beasts.

"Um, can I have a word?"

Now, Louiseine raised her hand.

"My question, too, is the sheep breed settlement far away?

"Gawon, a dog breed with endurance, keeps running, about half a day from here. By the way, dog-breed settlements are close by here."

"So you say it\'s another race?

"The lion and leopard species are more overwhelming in Jun Min, but they don\'t have endurance. About a day if it\'s us. The herbivores have endurance, but be discreet and time consuming."

……

We looked at each other.

In doing so, Gawon, the dog breed, will be the quickest to reach the sheep breed settlement. But whoever poisoned Mae\'s meal would have arrived earlier than that Gawon, right?

And.

"Isn\'t that weird? The Forgannes found out about May later, didn\'t they? The earliest arrival in the sheep breed settlement was Gawon, wasn\'t it?... Then why was it raided in the forest of Urangaran by the tiger species Bollard? Besides, late that night when May was poisoned. And I was listening to the exchange between Bollard and Gawon, and Bollard knew at that point that May was poisoned and dying."

"... Huh!?

The expression of the Beastmen was distorted.

"Where is the diseased warrior Bollard!?

On second thought, I didn\'t see any tiger warriors on the final line of defense.

I\'m sure I just assumed that only the warriors of the tiger species had raided Gawon and May ahead, but apparently not.

To the cries of Forganne, those who had refrained rush away.

But we all know. Bollard is neither here nor among the beasts gathered in front of the ruined capital.

When uranium tied up in the Run Forest, Gawon said it would catch up in half a day. Even after two days, the Bollards and the Beastmen of the Tiger Species had not shown themselves as one.

It\'s not like I didn\'t question it. But there are many tribes that are not part of this commotion. There was no deep suspicious sardine because there was no appearance of one or two tribes.

But I hear you\'re not.

"Them... What are you thinking?"

Guru, and Forganne roaring his throat violently. Gawon was also showing anger with his fangs out.

"If only I\'d been a little more distracted..."

"Now I can\'t help but regret the past. Now it\'s important to find and question the Bollards."

What if it was the tiger breed who attacked Larzegan with the messenger... But Razegan isn\'t the kind of warrior who cracks his mouth, is he?

How did the Bollards find out about May?

Without being able to come up with an answer, this day\'s meeting ended.

In the end, the cause of May\'s remaining unconscious has also not been identified. Perhaps the key is held by Bollard.

The Beasts began to look for the Bollards, warriors of the Tiger Species, in a general outing.

But then two days later, Bollard\'s whereabouts remained unknown. He hasn\'t even returned to the tiger species settlement. And all that remained in the settlement were women and children, and the warriors paid out and went missing. Neither did those left know where they were.

The bad news continues.

The return of those who went to pick up the pharmacist, Lady Fouchen, was slow, so the second formation was released. But the reports they bring invite things that everyone didn\'t expect.

"The pharmacist Hoochen\'s residence came after someone attacked him."

"What!? So, what about Master Hoochen?

"Yes. I don\'t see you. Only the carcasses of the first, along with scattered furniture, etc."

"You\'re hit. I\'m tired of attacking Larzegan and poisoning Mae, and attacking and abducting Master Hoochen."

Master Hoochen seems to be a monkey breed of beast people. When you\'re young, you keep walking in the northern lands, and you\'re an old man with deep knowledge and wisdom?

It was the common perception of the Beastmen that they were familiar with the drugs and poisons of the North, and that if they were ill or slightly injured, they would rely on Master Hushen and Master Jabalayan for serious life-threatening crises.

But someone attacked the Hoochen. And he\'s missing, too.

"Being killed on the spot and abducted also seems to keep your life..."

"That\'s why you\'re not at peace."

The movements of the Beasts become hasty.

Those who waited for the next full moon in the meadows in front of the ruined capital began to scatter throughout the land of the north.

"It\'s hunting time!

Under Forganne\'s decree, he began to track down those who leap in collaboration with the beast.
