Chapter 673 - V58C4P1 – Companion

V58C4P1 – Companion

The glacial region near the Jigolaths.

“Achoo!”

Weed rode on the back of Wyvern3 and flew through the blizzard, almost freezing to death.

– I’m so cold, master.

“Same.”

If he did not warm up with holy fire beforehand, they would have fallen into trouble already.

At the glacial region was the merchant council that revolved around the snow plains waiting for Weed.

“Weed-nim, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

The merchant group was composed of barbarians.

Their representative, Elvira, wearing a white fur coat, greeted Weed.

“This is the ice crystal that you requested.”

“Thank you for travelling all the way to such a harsh place.”

“Not at all. We go anywhere our clients wish.”

After Bard Ray’s expedition, the snow plains and Jigolaths were beginning to be explored by adventurers.

Groups searching for treasures and gold visited the region quite frequently.

“Please confirm the product.”

There were 10 wagons of pure ice crystals.

Having formed in such a cold location, there were no signs of impurities.

Two other wagons were filled with dragon bone.

They were precious bones acquired after the slaying of Kaybern.

Weed pulled out the bones from the wagon, knocked on them and weighed one by one.

“These products are superb.”

“Then… Could we observe the process?”

“Of course. But-”

“Pardon?”

“Nothing.”

He quickly restrained himself from his involuntary habit of ripping people off.

--------

“It will be very useful for the future. I can send it out to any battle no matter how dangerous it may be.”

The Phoenix was set for a life of intense labor.

The next task on Weed’s schedule was something of the utmost importance in his life.

He returned to Morata and met farmer Miretas and elf Haruna for this exact errand.

“These are flower seeds. There are some saplings here as well.”

“These are seeds from the grass, flowers and trees grown in Elven Forest.

“What will you do with them? Have you taken an interest in farming?”

For the sculpting master Weed to start farming, they were more than glad to help.

“I have no intentions of farming.”

“You sure?”

“Yes, I am sure.”

“Sweat is the most honest proof of diligence. Do you know how proud you will be when the crops that you sweat for start growing? Watching the golden fields with a cool breeze is just…”

“I am just going to feed on the crops grown from the sweat and tears of other farmers.”

Weed climbed on Wyvern3 with the seeds in hand. Then he headed to the uninhabited island introduced by the three mad sharks of Becky Nin. .

***

He crossed the Northern Continent and the blue ocean. There were plenty of ships passing through the oceans of Port Varna and Croa Pirate Island.

There were fishing boats, trades ships and pirate ships!

“It’s Weed-nim!”

“Hooray Arpen Empire!”

Weed waved lightly and kept moving eastward.

– Master.

“Yeah?”

– Bingryeong and the Phoenix became more powerful.

“Yes.”

– What about me? I take you around everywhere.

Wyvern3 who flew Weed around the most often had every right to complain.

Even now, it was a long journey from the end of the North to the east sea.

“What do you want me to do?”

– I want to be stronger.

“Why?”

– Just because.

Weed understood its nature as a violent wyvern.

“Alright. I’ll stick some dragon bones and scales on your wings.”

– Really? Will I become more powerful with that?

“I think you would become a little faster, for one thing.”

– Fast is good too.

They were precious materials, but for the speed improvement of Wyvern3 it was well worth the investment. If it could fly faster, Weed could save a lot of time travelling.

They flew by the vast Croa Pirate Island and various islands followed by an open sea.

– Heint: The eastern region of the Pirate Island has rapid currents and rocks, a dangerous location even for the most experienced navigators. Based on Wyvern3’s speed, it would be roughly 20 ~ 30 minutes until the arrival at the island.

The ocean was colored emerald. The harmonious scenery with the blue sky was breathtaking.

The island Heint spoke of was of considerable size.

A paradise with tall mountains, a white beach, a cliff by the coast and turtles enjoying the sunlight.

“No one’s on the island, right?”

– I don’t see anyone.

Weed slowly circled around the island on top of Wyvern3. It looked like a paradise just at a quick glance, and the wide fields were filled with tall, untrimmed grass.

“It’s great. I have to start working now.”
