Estio Volume 2
- Episode 14
"It's a kind of war for survival. It's kind of funny to talk about animals."
"okay."
"Natural ecosystems are also weak and meat-eating, so what's the similarity? Anyway, let them either survive or die on their own."
Strictly speaking, from the point of view of Duke Heyga, it would have been better to annihilate the pack of wolves that came out of the cave here. Still, Estio seemed to have enough loyalty to take care of the injured wolf, so he took a step back.
Mubin gestured towards the wolf cub, who was unconscious and protected by his mother.
"By the way, did he drink your blood?"
To him who had recognized the smell of blood, Estio responded with a look of surprise.
"...Yes. I'm not sure if it will work, but my blood has helped an injured animal once. So."
"Hmm. I understand the context. But you'd better not hand out blood."
Moobin looked down at the wolf cub, who was still not feeling well, and said. Even if you are doing that now, you will probably find your health soon.
"If you are a true descendant of the Black Dragon, its blood will serve as both a blessing and a curse."
"What do you mean?"
"Dragons have the power to turn the living into blood-subordinated guardians."
No need to explain in detail. Mubin himself was a living witness called 'Dragon Guardian'. Because Heiga was the clan that received the dragon's blood and became subordinate to the Black Dragon.
As long as the Black Dragon exists in the world, Heiga will not lose her monstrous physical abilities that exceed human limits. Mubin smiled, stealing the tip of her nose.
"Am I going too far? Aside from that, anyway, they're beasts and menacing creatures. It's good to end up helping out. Don't get involved anymore."
Moobin took the first step. After she found the guild leader safely, she thought only of returning to the camp and tasting the soup.
"There is no doubt in your words."
But before he could even take a few steps, he heard a strong-willed voice from behind.
"But that's when you don't have the power to change."
"......What?"
I turned around and saw Estio surrounded by wolves. He stood in the midst of a group of cave wolves with their heads bowed and their pathetic grunts.
'Just like a king worshiped by all living things.'
Mubin thought that way without thinking, and rubbed his arm with goosebumps.
"No, hey."
"We can change now."
A firm tone continued.
"If they promise not to harm the humans of Heiga."
"Huh?"
"What promise can you make to them?"
Offer to trade with animals. This fact was both surprising and even funny, so Mubin burst out laughing. And the back of her hand stopped a bigger laugh from bursting out.
'You too.'
The power of the Black Dragon, which was said to have coordinated between humans and different races in the distant past.
Mubin was convinced that he was getting closer to his goal. Of course, that was it, and for now, I decided to focus on this subtle deal.
"Hey, it's not enough to not harm them. If you serve as the guardian force of our Heiga, we'll take care of safety and food. How about it?"
Let's use what is available. Mubin Heiga, who grew up to be a politician to the bone, counter-proposed a business that never loses money, even with animals.
This was the first step in the creation of the 'Black Knights', who were uniquely famous for fighting with black wolves instead of horses.
* * *
The deal with the cave wolves was successful.
It was not a command through mind control, but a kind of contract between a wolf and a human. It was difficult to convey the specific circumstances of his immediate ball writing, so Mubin and Estio returned to the camp with the entire pack of cave wolves.
"You're here...... Ugh! What is it all about!"
Parker, who was just waiting for the two of them to arrive after dinner, groaned in horror. A swarm of swarming wolves was approaching with their eyes shining fiercely.
Moobin, who swept away the white feathers that were flying here and there, replied back.
"Well, it's the recruitment of new colleagues."
"It's the cave wolves last time!"
"We decided to accompany you for a while."
"Leader!"
Parker, who found Estio who appeared after him, resolutely clenched his fist and shook his head.
"I can't even afford to feed the wolves!"
"...Is that the surprising point?"
In a way, Mubin kicked his tongue slightly when he saw the erratic reaction of the Jo-in people who were even bold. Unlike in the underground caves, the black wolves prowled around with their tongues sticking out with gentle expressions.
Among them, there was only one female wolf hovering around Estio. Neju, who moved his gaze following his pathetic gaze, blinked her eyes.
"He's a baby!"
"Yeah, but it hurt a lot. I thought it would make the wound worse if I let my mother move it."
After being seriously injured, the wolf cub, who had not yet regained consciousness and was asleep, was held back in Estio's arms. The mother, who was worried about the young, followed Estio, crying continuously.
"Hey, it's a difficult time to survive if you're that young. Did you even get hurt?"
"I got a bow in my hind leg. Parker, could you take a look?"
"Nay nei. As long as you don't have surgery, you can do it."
Estio laughed a little at the fuss of the cowardly joins. Meanwhile, Parker reached out to examine the wolf's wounds. At that moment, her mother, who was standing by her side, fiercely exposed her fangs.
"Kreung."
"Oh, what a surprise!"
Hearing the sound of the mother wolf's shrill throat, the wolves of the same pack crept together. Parker, who had received the gaze of the wolves in the wind, grumbled with an unjust expression on his face.
"Yamma, I know you're worried about the cub, but shouldn't it be treated?"
"Uh-uh-uh."
"I, Leader. I can't communicate with him at all."
A cool hand fell over the head of the mother wolf, who sharpened her blade as if she had left it alone.
Tock, tock.
Estio, who showed the cub in front of her, was sweeping the mother wolf's hair. The wolf's glassy eyes looked up at him silently.
"I'm here to help."
"Creung......"
"Iza Parker, my colleague. I know a cure I don't know."
A brief explanation followed. Hearing this, the mother wolf's expression changed as if it were a lie. Watching the wolf with its teeth in, Parker nervously stretched out his hand towards the cub.
"Well?"
"Do you have any problem?"
"No, not that."
Parker's eyes were more of a wolf pup, stroking the back of his nose, and running his fingertips over the bleeding wound. Then he turned to Estio and answered.
"Are there no wounds?"
"?"
This time, it was Estio's turn to cast a puzzled gaze. Parker scratched the back of the head and continued.
"Even though it's a wolf, if a young guy like this had been hit by a bow, it would have been a penetrating wound. What's left now is a small scar that's embarrassing to even call it a wound."
Estio also scanned the hind legs of the baby wolf with her fingers. The bloodstains were clear, but the wounds had really healed and were barely visible.
"Well, I got hurt a little, but I don't have a fever, and I just don't have the energy to recover on full power. There's no need to worry about this, right?"
Hearing the voice full of doubts, Estio took out the broken arrow he had kept in his arms. It was an arrow that was orthodox in its hind legs when the wolf cub was first discovered.
Parker glanced at the arrow with a curious gaze.
"Leader, are you sure this guy was really hit by an arrow?"
He must have pulled an arrow from the wolf's wound by himself a while ago. Estio, who was staring at the arrow he had brought with him, dropped it on the floor, wondering if poison might have been applied.
"No. I think I misunderstood. It must have been the arrow that another wolf had hit."
That's a lie.
Mubin was the only one who noticed this. The arrow definitely smelled of the blood of a baby wolf.
However, Neju, a white-haired monkey capable of recognizing blood origins, was curious about the little wolf rather than the complicated conversation, so he kept looking around. When Estio said yes, Parker nodded his head.
The cactus Ahurya, a young wolf and an adult wolf, was enjoying the bright morning sunlight with all her body.
When Mubin noticed that Estio was lying and looked at him, Estio, who felt his gaze, turned his head and looked at him.
'rain-.'
Please keep it a secret.
Mubin's eyebrows narrowed at the meaning he had conveyed through his mouth.
'You don't want to let others know that you are special?'
It was an unwelcome choice for Mubin, who was already convinced that Estio was the descendant of the Black Dragon. Even if he's not a real black dragon, his speciality can benefit him in many ways. Even right now, the biggest reason for Estio to take on the role of an executive as a guild leader is because of his special abilities.
Special power is like a special ticket to wealth, fame, and even power. Mubin knew that.
'Why?'
Mubin, who did not know what kind of pain Estio had suffered because of something special until recently, could not understand his current behavior. While Moobin was engrossed in his thoughts, Estio calmly turned his head again and walked forward.
"Then let's get going."
Confirming that it wasn't a big deal, Parker grabbed his bag.
Then, on top of the rolled up liver, Tsuki, who had been sleeping until then, got up and got up.
Nyaan.
When the pack of wolves found the black cat sitting down gently and yawning, they hurriedly curled their tails and began to falter. It was a more frightening reaction than when he saw Neju.
Tsuki, who was not awake, found the wolves and narrowed his Odd-Eye.
"What is it, these jerks?"
"Tsuki."
As soon as he heard Estio's call, Tsuki jumped without hesitation and climbed onto his shoulder.
"These are colleagues who will move with you during this quest."
"colleague?"
"Yes. Hei is also a new resident who will live legally in the estate."
The black cat sat on his shoulder, licking his spare paws, picking out the fur.
"Do whatever you feel like. By the way."
"Yes?"
"Why are you hugging that bundle of hair?"
"Ah."
What Tsuki looked at was the baby wolf Estio was holding. In fact, it is okay to return it to the mother wolf as there are no major wounds, but it was a bit difficult to put down the sleeping young beast without finding any energy yet.
Estio hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and returned the cub to the mother wolf.
"Keeping."
The mother wolf, biting the nape's neck, leaned back slightly, and carefully licked the bloodstained fur. After watching it for a moment, Estio put his backpack on his shoulder and looked at his movein.
"Where do you plan to go now?"
Hei decided to go around the estate for a month, but the direction was decided by the client, Moobin. He had just arrived in front of the underground cave, so Mubin smiled with his arms crossed.
"Well, I was going to say it anyway, but I've actually decided on a new destination."
"when?"
"just now."
