「The ones you’re with」
All the townspeople atching us as walked by Ariane was currently walking down the street without her hood on and her face was coolden eyes and the lilac colored skin peeking through her cloak would naturally catch everyone’s eyes
“It’s so strange, for an elf to live openly in a town of untrustworthy humans……”
She looked at the town’s residents while saying that Once she put her gray hood on, the nuan to decrease
“Ariane-dono, we should book a rooht”
“Why? We can set out for Lanbaltic once we capture the Sandworht?”
Ariane looked puzzled as she said that
“Let’s say that it takes until ht to capture the Sandworht, wouldn’t we?”
“I see what you mean…… Also, sorry for my selfishness……”
She must have reized
“Ariane-dono, since you’re my employer I have the duty to comply with your wishes as much as possible Besides, the best part of a journey are the detours”
“……Thank you”
She offered me a small thanks as she turned away and headed towards the inn district at a brisk pace I widened my stride to keep pace with her
There weren’t er ones were occupied by the adventurers, so the two of us had to book a double rooht
According to the owner of the inn the highway that passed this town didn’t see much traffic, so it was rare for anyone other than adventurers ere searching for monster materials to visit
After booking our room, Ariane and I toured the city until the sun rose to the middle of the sky
This tiuards, they quietly allowed us to carry on However, before we reached the gate, Casey opened it and immediately came out
A large four-horse wagon was behind him, with one person in the coach it Everyone but Casey was covering their faces with a cloth which made them look like robbers out of a western
Dried grass had been piled atop the decooblin corpses in an atte out and the guards scohenever it reached them
“Yaa, let’s depart”
Casey was the only one unaffected by the s After a brief talk with two city guards we left the town and headed towards the highway
After reaching the highe turned north After a bit of traveling, we turned west and headed into the wasteland
Casey had been teaching us about Sandworhout the entire journey Sandwor the day and searched for food during the night The reason we brought the goblin-corpses along was that they mostly ate dead flesh
Their weak point was fire, but their skin was able to resist fire to a certain point However, since ould risk burning the body of the speci to collect, it had been decided to avoid using fire ic
“I know of Soilworms, can’t you simply cut off their heads to kill them?”
“Soilwor, but Sandwor Their
and their elasticity ood sword On top of possessing around the er, which makes it difficult to defeat them”
Casey answered Ariane’s question with a troubled expression
Still, a twenty- worm is quite the monster However, if they’re only as thick as an adult’s arm, I should be able to cut them with the 『Holy Thunder Sword』 I wonder if it’d be possible to test it out with another Sandworm after this
After a while, the ground began to soften and Casey soon looked back and signaled for the wagon to stop advancing
“Okay, this place is good enough Let’s scatter the bait around the area, then hide the wagon in the shadow of a rock forhtfall
As he showed the e rock for from the red colored, barren wasteland No one would notice if a wagon and a group of people were hidden behind that large rock formation
Following Casey’s instructions the guards used their spears to stab the goblins before carrying thenated locations It was a task that made everybody scowl
Once the bait was set, wefor nightfall Ponta curled up on Ariane’s knees and it wasn’t long before I could hear her light snoring
The guards took turns poking their heads out fro down the description of a nearby growing plant on a piece of parchment
As the sun started to set, the shrubs that e hue as far as the eye could see The shadows of the rock for the wasteland While the te, Casey’s tension only see wryly while Casey repeatedly poked his head out from behind the rock as he became more and more restless
Eventually, a pair of flyingin our direction with the sun at their backs They had figures that I recognized With their bird-like head and four- span, there was no doubt these
When the sound of their flapping wings could be heard, Ponta leaped from Ariane’s knees and wrapped herself around Ariane’s neck, who siht at the situation
“Sand Wyverns have arrived They don’t usually consume dead flesh”
Casey wasas she peeked from behind the rock to stare at the Wyverns that had land in the area with the bait
The two Sand Wyverns slowly approached the unattended goblins and began to peck at it like birds However, one of them quickly lifted its head and cautiously looked around before taking to the skies The other one oblin as it tried to take another peck when soround The Wyvern shouted as it was dragged underground
As if that were the signal, other large figures began to burst froreen with a darkish yellow mixed in, and four flaps pulled back to reveal their ling around in search of their prey, we could see soans that were a short distance under theirtheir stomachs
Though only a section of their bodies was above ground, they easily exceeded five oblins we had set as bait There were five of them in total
“Arya〜, I never ied that so many of them would co this many Sandworms
Casey’s voice was tinged with a hint of disappointment as he looked upon this spectacle
“Aren’t Sandwor on the Wyvern”
“I said they usually ate corpses, I never said they didn’t eat living beings”
Casey focused on the Sandworuard’s question If that’s the case then couldn’t humans be their prey as well?
