There’s a Fire here

It is the highest mountain range on the continent and the dividing line between the continent and the North Pole.

The Kalcamir Mountains are a mountain that all climbers on the continent aspire to and want to climb at least once in their lives.

Of course, not many people have climbed the mountain until now due to various practical problems. Among the dogs, there were even fewer people who climbed to the top.

So, once you’ve been to the top of a mountain range, it’s an achievement you can be proud of until you die of old age.

In fact, only those who have already accomplished such a feat in other fields can reach the summit of the mountain. And you can go down alive and come back home.

One of the representative climbers I know is Oldman Tapju of Mateap. Rather than knowing, I just saw a picture frame hanging on the wall when I followed Parnell to the magic tower.

No matter what kind of magic was put on it, instead of a picture, the figure of the lord of his youth, who had just conquered Kalcamir, was preserved in the frame. He was waving a flag with the symbol of the tower with a wide smile on his face.

The facial expressions of the other wizards who followed their tower master one after another and climbed to the top were not very good. They probably didn’t want to climb that mountain.

I can only guess what you suffered. The Brave Party had climbed the Kalcamir Mountains, but they didn’t intend to climb it. We just passed there on our way to the North Pole.

There was no reason to climb the ice wall to the top, and there really wasn’t.

“There is one of the words that the Queen always used to say. Kalcamir is alive.”

Even so, I too have stepped on Kalcamir. When I heard that it was still alive, I couldn’t believe it. The mountain is not an ordinary mountain, but a huge alpine mountain range.

The height is high, and the length is longer than the height. It is not easy to win even a single peak, let alone a mountain range, no matter what kind of human structures you bring.

If such a thing is really alive, that in itself is terrifying. But does this make sense? Is it possible that such a large life exists in this world?

“I’m a dog, but there’s no way I wouldn’t say this.”

Urban uncle smirked and smirked.

“Dog the dog whistle. Even if you try to make up a lie, you have to be persuasive.”

“Really! Epirna may have found a way to draw power from the mountains. If that mountain was really alive…”

Perhaps the saying that the mountain is alive is like a metaphor.

It made more sense to think that there was something like a ley of magical power flowing through the Kalcamir Mountains, and that he had found a way to draw it.

“If you say something like that, I will very much believe it. Shall we have an in-depth conversation with you? Can I tell you the truth after a little taste of fire?”

“Why would I lie! Anyway, I became a rebel. What will the wolf rattle and the bastard of the reactionary bastard who got stuck with the human imperialists get back?”

“A lion?”

Leon asked with a serious face.

“Doesn’t a lion have a title or something?”

“Yes. As far as I know, yes.”

“This damn thing. You didn’t even think of me as an enemy at all!”

I couldn’t say that I was angry for a strange reason.

Uncle Urban and Mr. Leon’s people are really few left now. It is true that there is no exaggeration to say that it is an endangered species.

According to Pedro, the lions were purged long ago, leaving only a few left.

“The dog family left more, but I don’t know if I should say that it was left over. It’s because Epirna injects something strange and turns it into biological weapons that are close to monsters.”

“A year to kill!”

“Grandpa. Calm down. We lost, and we were dealt with. I don’t like the tiger, but I have to admit one thing. We are losers.”

“I can’t wait for that bitch to die and go to hell. How long did our prisoners have to suffer so much damage?”

Uncle Urban looks at us, especially Roka, and speaks with a somber expression.

“It would be great if someone could help us. I won’t tell you who I am, but…”

Loka groaned. It seemed that he had no intention of helping them and confronting Epirna, but when the eyes of the beasts were focused on him, he stepped back as if burdened.

“No, who are you again?”

There were even gray wolves who had insulted Roca earlier among those who looked at them like that. They looked at each other and whispered. It seemed that they had already made some kind of decision among themselves.

“Isn’t it time for our wolves to give birth to a Beast King?”

“Isn’t that a betrayal of Chief Robo?”

“It’s the same wolf. It’s one family. What is betrayal between family members? Even the chieftain, if you are weak, you should come down.”

“I don’t! I don’t need that!”

The child screamed and blushed. Pedro smirked.

“Hehe, our Beasts usually envy the strong. I was very surprised too. The queen… no, you fight with Epirna to a certain extent.”

“That’s great. Anyway, our chieftain seems to have run away when he sees that he hasn’t come yet, but Roka-san takes over as chief.”

“Because I don’t! Something like that!”

I’ve seen him get angry a few times, but it’s the first time I’ve seen him get so angry. Roka moved next to me to avoid burdensome fellows, looked around and got angry again.

“More than that, why doesn’t Kisea unnie come here again? You really didn’t run away, did you?”

“Because I am 100% sure. If you see that you haven’t come after waiting this long, there’s no need to wait any longer. All wolves are like that.”

Leon looked at us and said,

“We can’t stay here all the time, so let’s change our seats for now. It must have been abandoned for a long time, but there was a hideout where those who resisted Epirna gathered.”

“You want to go over there?”

“There is also my forge. Whether it’s a sword or a sword, if you want to do anything, you have to go there first.”

“I feel like you are holding on to us.”

Without realizing it, I let out a sigh. They want something from us.

And we also have something to gain from Uncle Canine. When these mutual benefits are combined, things get complicated. They even had nowhere to retreat.

“Even there, he would not insist on holding on to Roca again and participating in the Suwang Battle. As I told you in advance, it is enough if we give up the Tao.”

“Not at all. This urbanite lived his life as a craftsman and was unconditionally responsible for every word he uttered. Regardless of participating in the Battle of Suwang, I made a promise, so I must keep it.”

He swears something nice, but why does Kisea-san come to mind?

Is it because it’s the same dog family? I didn’t have much credibility. The dog blushed when he saw us looking at us with suspicious eyes.

“Well, I have nothing to say about it. Anyway, ttt. I got the wrong person too. I thought that Kisea was still loyal, but it was because he got older and lost his mind.”

“Then, go ahead and make the doo first. Then I will believe you.”

“I do. I’ve never broken a promise to wield a hammer.”

Since you’re betting on the honor of the craftsman, you have no choice but to trust it.

*****

The center of the power of the Suin Kingdom. The royal castle of Epirna is crowded with people. Still, to Kisea, it was no different from an empty house. Now, there was no one capable of noticing him here.

‘The backyard… it’s in the backyard. Where the hell is the backyard…’

Since it was really their first time here, the wolf was busy searching the castle. Since I had to move while avoiding the hunting of foxes with good noses, the line of movement naturally lengthened.

I couldn’t even eat my heart out. When Epirna returns from this, the empty house is no longer empty. In the worst case, even running away can risk your life.

‘Ah, I hope it’s here!’

Then Kisea discovered the inner garden and her eyes lit up. In the distance, I saw several things that looked like stone statues standing.

He could no longer hide and observe. Only after looking around and making sure that no one was there, Kisea rushed in. He hurriedly approached right in front of the statue and began to examine the statues.

“Oh, Dad!”

No matter how much time passes, a face I will never forget.

It was definitely the face. Kisea hurriedly reached out and brushed the dust off the statue’s face. no doubt Although the features were slightly weathered, it was clear that this was his father.

“Wait a minute. ‘Cause I’m here to save Right now…”

As he was about to dig through his pockets and take out the baptist’s water bottle, he heard a voice from behind. A woman’s voice, as if terrified, as if pleading.

“Help me! Help me!”

“What, what…!”

The wolf, whose chest fell down, hurriedly looked back. I’ve got all my thoughts right now.

did you hear it? are you caught up? But if the guards found you, why would you say, ‘Help me,’ instead of ‘found’?

Are you really at risk? I had to check it out.

But that was the trap.

What you see is not a human, but a giant lizard with the face of a chicken.

It mimics a human voice from its beak and spit it out, drawing attention to itself.

A ghastly glare was already shining in his eyes. Only then did Kisea realize. what that is He’s already seen that.

“Nose, Cockatrice!”

“Help me! Fire! There’s a fire here!”

The pointed beak was smiling slightly as if it was funny. A long time ago, the image of that monster who invaded the village and turned the clan into stone suddenly came to mind.

I thought I had already forgotten, but I didn’t. I just didn’t have a chance to think of it.

‘Nu, you have to close your eyes…’

I later realized what I had to do. You can do it later, even if you are immersed in thought.

He had to close his eyelids first. But the opportunity was missed.

The moment I thought that, the light flashed and my thoughts stopped. A new stone was created in the Byeolwon. The monster pierced the famous sword hanging on the stone with its beak, broke the sheath, and took out the contents.

Ascalon, a masterpiece created by canine Urban, was a weapon that any swordsman would envy, but to this monster, it was nothing more than a shiny collectible. Cockatrice loved collecting shiny things.

swish!

The lizard jumped at a speed that was not commensurate with its size. I feel good now that I have one more thing to keep in the nest. Today was a lucky day.
