chapter 110
110 – Master (4)
Bourgle thought deeply throughout the journey.
And at the same time, I think it’s great to carry wild animals piled up on your shoulders like that.
It didn’t take long to get back to the cave.
Upon arrival, everyone is surprised to see the wild animals piled up on the shoulders of Bulgul.
Since they had been starving for a long time, they came like dogs and took almost all the animals that Boogle put down.
Then, there are those who peel off the skin and eat the raw flesh, and there are also those who swallow the blood that pours there.
I can’t even get a feel for how much I’ve been starving.
At least, if it was to the point of being eaten raw without going through the process of processing.
I look at Burgle again.
He seemed to be in deep thought after seeing this scene.
They seemed to think that staying in the harsh North had no chance of survival.
However, the problem is that you are misunderstanding my proposal.
It’s just that Burgle alone is going to join, and I don’t have any intention of saving the whole group of demons.
Or I could have this group of demons as my own force, but is it really useful?
I’m not sure about that.
If they can prove their usefulness, maybe they’ll accept the entire group.
In the midst of such troubles, Burgle handed over several pieces of properly processed meat.
“It’s only right to give food to the person with the greatest merit. It’s because they’re starving, so I hope you understand.”
“…do not care.”
I had no intention of eating anyway, so I crossed my legs and approached Vero, who was trembling with anxiety, and gave me freshly grilled meat.
She ate the well-roasted meat, clinging to my side like a child looking for a parent.
And Burgle looked at this with a pleased face.
…In his eyes, it might look like the eldest son giving food to his younger brother.
I don’t want to give you a strange misunderstanding, but I don’t have any thoughts of wanting to explain anything.
I don’t even have the guts for that.
It was because the aftereffects of putting all my strength into the gloves came on.
The glove immediately takes my life whenever the time is right, and it is revived from the dead through immediate resurrection.
The reason I was still awake and moving was for nothing other than the Great Devil’s favor.
There will come a time when you must collapse and continue dying.
While sitting still and resting, the meat processing of the brought meat was completed in an instant.
The demons were very accustomed to making jerky by smoking or drying it over a fire, and burying the processed meat in ice so that it could be eaten for as long as possible and as much as possible.
I laughed a little when I saw the animal’s intestines being cooked.
In the world, you eat intestines too?
As I stare at a recipe I have never seen before, Boogle kindly explains it.
“Vial dishes are a traditional cooking method that has only been passed down in the North. Although it looks disgusting from the outside, it is a dish with an indescribable flavor.”
“is it?”
“How about taking a bite?”
“No reservations.”
Maybe because of the barren environment in the north, they also eat the intestines.
I’m not sure if it will taste good.
Anyway, the demons cooked with the intestines and ate very deliciously, and I slept with my eyes half-closed.
After a good rest, a clear morning came again, and I prepared to leave.
And I didn’t forget to propose to Burgle.
It was because he needed someone who could be a worker who would carry food when they went together, and a servant who would carry Bero on his back when he was having a hard time.
“…can everyone go together?”
“I don’t feel the need.”
I shake my head.
There might be some problems with the entire Mine moving, and I don’t know why I have to deal with that variable.
But Burgle holds my hand, saying that it must be so.
“Then, if you prove their necessity, are you willing to go with them?”
“…if that’s really the case.”
There’s nothing that doesn’t understand his earnestness.
Burgle was called the leader of the demon group, and he must be responsible for that.
However, I wondered if Mine would be useful.
He appealed to the need as much as possible.
He said that each of them were strong warriors, and although they were sick like that because the situation was not good right now, if they were given proper food and equipment, they would get a strong army.
If that’s true, then it’s not useless.
It was not easy to acquire such a number of troops, and considering the origins of demons, they were stronger than ordinary humans.
However, there were questions that arose as I listened to him.
“By the way, why did you think I would reap them?”
“You’re not a demon. And if I listen to your tone, it’s because I think you’re a human noble. Nobles always want strong soldiers.”
“…you knew.”
“No, I found out when you were a little dozing.”
“…?”
I thought I was quick-witted or had excellent sensing skills, but for other reasons, I knew I wasn’t a demon.
When I heard the reason, I naturally laughed out loud.
“When I saw him taking care of his younger brother, I was proud and stroked his head, but there were no horns on his head.”
“…is it?”
“I apologize if I offended you.”
“There’s no need for that.”
He sighs.
Either way, it’s normal for it to be revealed that he’s originally human.
But, even Burgle knew I wasn’t a demon after touching my hair.
My body is in a state of being very tainted with demonic energy.
That’s not good.
…If you think about it, the loss of the dagger might have been a good opportunity.
After all, depending on demonic energy, if you become a body stained with demonic energy, there will be irreversible side effects.
Mana, which can gain strength without any sacrifice, was the theory I had to go through.
It is correct to use black magic as well.
“…I’ll accept your offer. But how are you going to move them?”
“There is a way.”
Burgle proudly stepped forward and approached the Mines who ate to the fullest.
Then, he declares that he will abandon this cave and leave.
“If you stay here for a long time, everyone will dry up. Hunting wild animals has its limits, too, and we have to move to a place where we can continue our lives.”
“Where is that place? If you have to leave the North, the only place to go is the snowy North, so all you’re saying is to abandon the shelter you’ve worked so hard to get?”
“We’re not going to roam the North. We’re going into the realm of humanity.”
“I can’t do that! It’s hard to endure life here, so the end of the Mine who crossed the border is all the same!”
“right!”
Hearing the demons’ resistance, Burgle shook his head and said.
“I didn’t mean to just go. I heard the news that humans and the demon army signed a peace treaty. If so, they won’t kill us recklessly.”
“What if everyone dies clinging to such an uncertain possibility…!”
Kwaaang!
When someone else responded, Bourgle mercilessly slashed the ax at his side.
As Mine, who was resisting, trembled, Bourgle asked in a heavy voice.
“So, are you sure about life here?”
“…”
“If you want to stay here, I won’t stop you. But the end is to shiver in the cold and twist to death.”
Demons obeyed Burgle’s overwhelming appearance.
No matter how much human blood is said to be half, an existence with demon blood mixed in.
They had the habit of obeying in the face of overwhelming strength like the demons.
“I will follow you.”
“Anyway, I can only see a future where I die after staying here, so it’s better to take that gamble.”
“Now that we have finished hunting and have enough food, this must be our last chance.”
When everyone got up and started moving, I held Vero’s hand and moved.
“Now… are you going?”
“Yes, and more than that.”
I’m looking at Vero.
She’s the type to keep her mouth shut no matter what damage she does, so I had to ask.
“Did they do anything bad to you?”
“No, no. I was sensitive at first, it was because I was starving, but when I got food, they all became friendly. And they gave me food made from the intestines, which was very tasty.”
“is it.”
Nod.
If that’s right, there’s no reason not to accept it.
I don’t know what the correct answer is, but I’ll choose this path for now.

“Wow! Wow…!”
Raeli was delighted to see the sword shining in her hand.
It was the result of special training that could change lives.
Looking at it, everyone nodded.
There would be no one who did not suffer here, but it was because Raeli, who had to run at the back, was toxic.
as much effort. The results came out right.
dump-
And Raeli fainted right away.
No one was surprised to see him pass out as soon as the sword shined.
It was only natural that he was already pushed to his physical limit and collapsed.
“Wow, so everyone is an expert?”
“…Maybe, right?”
The hero was on the level of becoming an expert with a small opportunity, Reinhardt was already an expert, and Asher was capable enough.
I had enough experience anyway, and there was a lack of training to back this up.
The sword master provided the perfect guide and rolled everyone’s body, so the wall that had been blocked was quickly broken through.
Frank admired and felt a little gloomy.
It’s because I’ve been researching the drama very diligently, but I haven’t gotten a clear result yet.
Besides, just because wizards have become stronger, the distinction between realms is not easy.
It’s a long, long way to perfectly master the drama, but when his colleagues are ahead of him, he strangely loses his energy.
It’s not that I can’t understand that level of diligence, as I saw him being thoroughly ground from the side, but even so, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for myself.
While Fran was immersed in such thoughts, Asher also immersed himself in thoughts of his own.
When I looked outside, snow was pouring from the sky that had been clear for a while.
“…something, I’m used to it.”
I had a hunch that the person who should be by her side would finally return.
Asher, who was always gloomy, felt a little better.
