53 – Temple of Wildness

“Did your conversation with Kaa end well?”

“Somehow, the misunderstanding was resolved. But I’m not going to tell you what’s going on, so can you please stop looking at me like that?”

“…… Yes.”

After resolving the misunderstanding with Kaa, I quickly returned to the capture site.

I was worried that all work would come to a halt due to the leader’s absence, but fortunately, the material transport work was progressing steadily under the flexible instructions of Evie.

All herbivorous and carnivore members lift and carry heavy materials, while a few warriors watch the surroundings and prepare for any possible danger.

It was the first joint operation between carnivores and herbivores, but everyone was finding their roles and moving efficiently.

It was as if I had drawn a picture of what I expected, and there really was no ideal scene.

“What do you plan to do with the transported materials and meat?”

“I plan to treat it generally. How do you usually handle it?”

“After the meat is distributed, the leftover meat is made into preserved food, and the materials are supplied sequentially to the craftsmen in consideration of the importance of the work.”

“Hmm. “Then, can you take charge of it from now on?”

“Yes, of course. “I will do my best.”

Evie decided to take charge of managing the whereabouts of the captured monster.

This is because we were already taking care of many things in Qingqing Yeongwol, so we did not have time to worry about supply issues.

If you leave it to Evie, you will be able to maintain the existing system and prevent unnecessary confusion.

Thanks to one competent subordinate, I felt like I could only focus on outside work.

“Then, Lord Gaul, will you visit the Temple of Wildness right away?”

“I guess so. “Because I want to receive the blessings of the wild.”

“The full moon will rise tonight. This is the time when wild nature is at its strongest, so there will definitely be good results.”

“That would be good.”

As I was chatting with Evie, the transport work was almost being completed.

It was thanks to the powerful Wooin people running twice to round trip.

Then I sent the carnivore members back to Kaa and gathered everyone together.

“Take care of all the remaining materials and make sure no one is missing. “Now that the sun is gone, let’s return.”

At some point, the stars began to shine in the darkened sunset.

After the long and arduous first competition, it was time to return home.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Thank you, leader, for your hard work.”

“Hmm!”

After returning to Cheongcheong Yeongwol and completing the cleaning, the members were disbanded.

I was planning to follow Kaa and observe the work of the Carnivore Corps tomorrow, so I told the members to carry on as usual until further instructions were given.

Fortunately, there was no suspicion of breaking tradition at all, and since the members were thoroughly recruited, there should be no problem.

I stayed until the end to see off the members and headed to the Wild Temple under the guidance of Evie.

[The days seem to be getting shorter these days. I think fall is starting in earnest.]

I nodded at Piyi’s words and looked up at the sky.

A large full moon was shining brightly in the dark sky.

Trees colored with autumn leaves and a full moon rising in a circle. Seeing this, a Chuseok-like atmosphere arose.

Now that I think about it, it’s similar to Chuseok, except instead of harvesting grains, we hunt monsters.

As I was quietly nostalgic and thinking about this, Evie, who was walking next to me, spoke with a concerned expression.

“Yes. Soon, the light dragon Hista will roar a second time. Using that as a signal, the monsters’ feeding activities will become more active.”

“What?”

A loud shout came out at the unexpected information.

I’m still dying from a hard time, but the monsters are becoming more active?

I asked a question out loud to the bunny ears that were prickling.

“Are you saying the monsters are coming even more than now?”

“Yes? Well, that’s right. The monsters that are coming now are a kind of advance guard. The main force is still in the southern part of the continent of Sediya.”

“… ….”

The real hunting season hasn’t even started yet.

I felt like my eyes were going dark after hearing those words from Evie.

I tried to develop slowly while placing importance on safety, but it seems there was no time to relax.

Herbivores Dando, Cheongcheong Yeongwoldo. And it seemed like I also needed to become stronger as soon as possible.

Suddenly, I desperately wanted to see Shizu, who I left behind in Eldennor.

“Wow, I’m suddenly nervous.”

[Why are you putting such a burden on me again? If you receive the blessing of wildness, monsters are like a handful!]

“That means I’m nervous. There is a possibility that Mahesar will not grant the oracle.”

[Huh? Have you never thought about that?]

If I received the blessings of the wild as Pii said, being a monster might not be such a big deal.

I will suffer until my death, but at least I will be able to endure until Shizu comes.

However, it was somewhat annoying that the prerequisite was ‘God’s blessing’.

Mahesar may not be as raw as a goddess somewhere, but she is still a divine being, so we dare not make predictions.

I hope that you are a merciful and benevolent male god.

If you don’t give me a blessing for killing a black bear in my past life, I’ll really cry.

I asked Evie to get some information about the wild male god.

“Evie. “What type of god is Mahesar?”

In response to my question, Evie tilted her head and was lost in thought.

She then opened her mouth and pointed to her stone bridge over the ley lake.

“Mahesar is known as the god of stinginess and charity. However, the answers of the priestesses across the bridge will be more accurate than mine.”

[For your information, Trius is the goddess of pride and humility! Hi-Hi. It doesn’t suit you very much, does it?]

“…… “It would suit you except for your modesty.”

Perhaps because it was a myth, the information was ambiguous and not very helpful.

No. Looking at the stinging sensation on the back of her head, she even felt like she had asked for nothing.

In the end, it means that you have to come face to face with her to find out.

I swallowed my saliva and looked at the ley lake.

A huge stone bridge leading to the temple stretched out in front of me.

“I will wait here.”

“Aren’t you going together?”

“No one can enter the sacred area. “I will be here praying and waiting.”

“Can I take Pii with me?”

“Aren’t you two already of one mind? Obviously, priests will also allow it. “Please walk with me in peace.”

I entered the stone bridge while being seen off by Evie.

A brightly shining full moon, red maple trees, and an elaborately woven stone bridge. All of that was reflected like a mirror on the calm lake.

As I walk with such a mysterious scene in my eyes, I feel like reverence permeates me and my mind becomes purified.

I crossed the bridge with a feeling of ease and headed to the island on the lake.

At the entrance to the small island, two Hoin priests came out to greet me.

“Hmph! So you’re finally here? “I kept waiting.”

“I will guide you. Follow me.”

However, the appearance of the two priestesses was completely different from what I expected.

I expected that she would be a true and polite woman since I heard she was a priestess of the Ley Lake Beastman, but the priestesses who came out to meet me turned out to be two arrogant kids.

The blue hair and eyes are impressive, but even considering the lifespan of the beast people, they only look like children.

I lifted her head and looked around to see if there was another priestess.

Then, one of the kids ran up to me and slapped the back of her hand! And bit it.

“Ugh! What! What’s the matter?!”

“You. I hate that expression. “It’s rude.”

It seemed like he sensed my thoughts.

But don’t you know that the more I do this, the deeper my suspicions become?

I asked the two kids with a doubtful expression.

“Are you female priests who serve the male god of the wild?”

The two kids nodded and answered my question.

“Hmph! “Don’t you know it when you see it?”

“Druid. “Ignorant.”

These are guys that go beyond being petty and make you want to hit them.

I frowned and quietly started a snowball fight with the two priestesses.

At that time, Piyi, who was sitting on my shoulder, tilted her head and opened her mouth.

[Guys. If you’re a priestess, don’t you have a lower rank than a druid? This guy is at the level of the Pope in terms of human religion.]

That’s what I heard.

I’m not sure if I’m at the level of the Pope, but the Druid was not someone who could be ignored by a mere priestess.

Thanks to Piyi’s support, I regained my confidence and puffed out my chest with an expression of ‘Did you hear?’

Then, the little priestesses shouted, their expressions cutely distorted.

“Ugh! Oh, what can I do! Are you trying to scold us, priests?”

“That’s right. “You can’t hit us.”

hehehe.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen such spoiled children.

I quietly clenched my fist and held it up in front of the guys.

Seeing me like that, Piyi fired back support.

[Should I just hit this guy?]

“!!”

“!!”

The children’s shoulders trembled at Piyi’s words, which came from experience.

But judging from the expression on his face that said, ‘Aw, are you really going to hit me?’, It seemed like he still hadn’t come to his senses.

Then I raised my fist and slowly approached them.

As I got closer, the kids’ tails twitched and fell to the ground.

I really didn’t mean to hit him, but I guess I should at least scare him that things turned out like this.

That’s what I thought when I reached out to the kids’ blue fox ears.

『hahahaha. Don’t be too grumpy.』

A low, soft voice came from somewhere.

It was a divine saying from a transcendent being that I had become somewhat familiar with after hearing it a few times.

『That’s not what you came here for, right?』

It was the voice of Mahesar, the male god of the wild.
