‘It’s wood! It’s all wood down here – if it catches fire!’

“Huh──── Deed! “You idiot!”

Leeha, who was looking around in panic, heard a deafening ringing sound. The ibex nearby was screaming with all its might.

“You stupid guy! Like a black crane with its neck turned───────! < subjugation >!”

Light flashed from the ibex’s horn. The lights of the black-crowned cranes that were rapidly descending were extinguished.

“Go, children! 〈Flame-proof〉!”

“Red Goat!”

And Ibex used his power against the red goats once again. As their bright red fur sparkled as if coated, the red goats broke the branches of the redwood trees and soared into the sky.

They raised their horns, determined to absorb the tremendous kinetic energy of the descending person.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaa whom whom where where?

The first charge was the start. Quaaaang─── Quaaaang──────! The red goats and black cranes tangled with each other in the air and began a hand-to-hand combat.

Red goats cannot fly. That means they were falling to the ground and fighting!

A red goat moving to tear off the wings of a whooping crane, a black crane trying to pierce the red goat’s head with its beak while avoiding its horns…. ‘Crazy

….’

This is not a hand-to-hand combat at the level of striking with fists. They are a new race of NPCs that use their bodies themselves as weapons.

He was showing fighting spirit even as he fell, breaking the branches of the redwood tree.

“Hooded… you foolish friend…”

According to Ibex’s words, Paleo is a being that can borrow the power of a being who is a ‘tribal guardian deity’. I haven’t quite grasped the concept yet, but it must be something close enough to me to call it my ‘child’.

What is the reason for making such children engage in hand-to-hand combat without fear of death?

A hooded flying safely in the night sky and an ibex looking at the hooded sadly.

Lee Ha carefully opened his mouth, recalling what Ibex had said.

“You two… were you always on good terms?”

“…Didn’t I tell you? He creates fire and I extinguish it. “We had a special relationship over the more than 5,000 years that this forest grew.”

also.

Lee Ha nodded. I felt like I vaguely knew the whole story of the incident.

“Hooded, did you change like that just recently?”

“….”

“Ibex probably thinks that Rega made Hooded like that.”

“No one like Le can make us do that. “That can’t be possible.”

The ibex shook his head.

The place where Leeha and Ibex are standing is at the top of a tall red tree. All over the ground below, there was a thud, thud! The sounds of hand-to-hand combat could still be heard.

Here and there, here and there! Black cranes were often seen breaking through the wall of leaves and branches and soaring into the sky.

In the midst of all the noise, Lee Ha looked at the ibex, who was shaking his head.

“no. It’s definitely true. A little while ago, I told you that Re came here polluting the water spirits, but that wasn’t all. Not only the ordinary water spirit, but even the sea god who rules the wide sea, the ruler of the sea who is said to have inherited the power of the god to some extent, fell for Bluebeard’s tricks and his head became clouded.”

“is it…?”

The eyes on the ibex’s back widened.

“yes. The God of the Sea still endured. If it had completely fallen, the entire Dragon Palace would have been completely destroyed, but the Sea God endured. However, in the case of Hooded, the distinction between faction and faction is clear, and the purpose is also clear. “It is certain that it is more serious than the case during the Sea God’s time.”

The sea god attacked both fishmen and mermaids. I was just being swayed by something that felt like a delirium, on the verge of completely losing my mind.

‘But Hooded is different. I’m not blind. ‘It’s literally… corrupt.’

The following looked closely into the ibex’s eyes. Now I feel like I know a little bit about the ‘tribal guardian deity.’

Although it has survived for a long time, its foundation is a specific ‘normal creature’.

Although they have gained enormous strength and special abilities, they do not have the wisdom of a dragon or a god.

“Ibex, don’t you think so too? The look on his face when he heard that Le came to the continent of Erica was definitely—”

“No! Nope. That can’t be possible. Hooded and I were the strongest guardians of this redwood! “Even the demons who escaped kept us in check!”

It was evident just by looking at the way he thought that way, but did not say it out loud due to pride or stubbornness.

The following did not back down. And then, with the mindset that if there was an opening, this was the only one, I made an offer I couldn’t refuse.

“Please leave it to me. “I will solve it.”

“…Humans can do it? “Something for which the reason is not even clear!?”

“It was I who solved the pollution and corruption of the Sea God.”

The eyes on the ibex’s back widened again. Before he could say anything, Lee Ha spoke first.

“However… please promise me the land where the mana relay tower will be built and its safety.”

Shuwaaaa—── It was a few seconds later when a hologram window appeared in front of Leeha. The battle was still in full swing.

***

[Come to your senses, my friend]

Description: “Can you do that? Can you do that without killing that guy? On this wide continent, Hooded is the only one who has relied on me for such a long time. We are each other’s enemies and close friends. We were born to kill each other, but we must get along. Among all the spirit creatures that exist in Erica, they are the only ones that understand each other. If I could turn that crazy guy back… I’d rather ask him a favor. “Even if it’s just to confirm people’s abilities and faith.”

Ibex, the one who prevents fires, wants to heal Hooded, the one who causes fires. Let’s investigate why the spirit object Hooded became corrupted and solve the cause to restore peace to Erica ‘Redwood’.

‘Crazy… crazy, ridiculous. what?!’

Lee Ha was already convinced. That huge black crane called Hooded must have been contaminated by Bluebeard.

If so, the treatment method is also simple. All you have to do is remove the pollutant that causes it!

Above all, since it appeared as a quest of this type, the method speculated below is virtually confirmed.

However, what surprised Lee Ha was not that he was told to heal Hooded rather than kill him.

Because that’s really the only reward? Because the failure conditions are too simple? That’s not it either.

There was only one reason why Lee Ha was surprised. A word thrown out by Ibex in the quest description window.

‘On the continent of Erica… [spread and widespread spirit creatures]…?’

Like the ibex and the hooded, they are based on the form of a beast, but have evolved differently over the years.

The ibex themselves called it a spirit creature. If the story comes from his mouth, it means that it is set in Middle Earth.

‘Creatures of that level are widespread?! Moreover, Paleo- that NPC race called Paleo uses the power of the tribal guardian deity! And if ‘tribal guardian deity’ means a spirit creature…’ This

means that on the continent of Erica, you should not be surprised by ‘something between a human and a monster’ such as a red goat or a black crane! Because there will be a lot more diverse life forms!

Leeha made a gasping expression for a moment, and the eyelids on the ibex’s back tightened.

“Are you not confident? If you don’t have it—”

“No! No, no. I am confident. step…! I can’t do it alone. Please release my colleagues below.”

The bargaining skill has been activated.

The chance of persuading the opponent increases by 57%.

Lee Ha negotiated skillfully. 〈Expert Bargaining Lv.5〉 The probability of persuasion exceeds ‘half and half’! This quest is different from the mermaid one. It is not a mandatory quest and the conditions are not strict. If there is room for bargaining, it is natural to use it.

But maybe he didn’t like Lee Ha’s attitude? It may have been against etiquette on the continent of Erica to offer to help and then put conditions on it.

The ibex’s expression was not very bright.

“I still can’t trust you, why should I?”

“Because I know the cause and the solution.”

The following did not avoid the stares on the ibex’s back. It was a little embarrassing because there was a sense of distance between the eyes on his back and the mouth on his face making a ‘hum’ sound, but Lee Ha remained steadfast.

Shuuuuk! After a while, the quest hologram window finally changed.

Content: Healing the polluted mind of Spirituality Hooded with one fellow human.

“…Okay. “Then I will release only one person.”

“One?! There must be at least two!”

“One. If you don’t like it, just stop—”

Persuasion failed.

“Ahhh! All right. One! Let’s do it with one person.”

Just before the hologram window disappeared, Leeha clicked the accept button. I couldn’t have known that saying that the chance of persuasion was 50/50 meant that one of the two might fail.

Even though the complete goal was not achieved, Lee Ha was somewhat relieved at the thought that at least a minimal result was achieved.

‘The method is not prescribed. All you have to do is return the polluted mind.’

If you take it to the extreme, it means that it doesn’t matter if you subdue Hooded, tie him up, and treat him with ‘mental education’ and ‘steaming with a stick’. That is, assuming the worst case?

‘Take out Baylipus and train Hooded by beating him to the point where he doesn’t die. Simple but certain.’

Perhaps the Ancient Gold Dragon may know another skill to cure Bluebeard’s taint. Lee Ha’s idea of taking out at least ‘one person’ was never wrong.

Until now.

“…I’m going back today.”

“Black Crane! Everyone retreat! retreat!”

Quaaaaaaa──── Quaaaaaaa──────!

As Hooded spoke, the black cranes flying nearby cried loudly. Leeha guessed that the black-crowned crane was the ‘big brother’ of the other camp.

The black cranes that were fighting with the red goats nearby took off, flapping their wings.

“Don’t miss it! Catch it!”

“Red Goat!”

The red goats tried to catch the retreating black cranes by stepping on the redwoods, but it was not easy. Paleo is not a complete animal form, but only has animal characteristics.

The crane’s claws were also never dull. Even if the red goats try to hit them with their horns, they also have ‘human arms’ to hold them and cushion the impact.

What about flying even faster than stepping on a tree and running fast?

‘Indeed… I see. It must have been black cranes that were trying to attack from the sea at that time.’
