Although it is a pity that the inns are not open at this time of night, the average waking time of my body is about 30 hours, so I don't have much trouble.
But the sleep time is also almost 12 hours. Although I'm not complaining much because it was worth it. But lately the upper part of my hands has started to become very stiff.
I feel like a protective layer will come out of there, but it could also be from using my hands too much. From what I heard on the first anew, there is the largest library on the mainland.
The trip will take almost 1 month or so. But the gain is very high, there are ways to use all types of energy. Although I don't know much more.
I haven't done much in the days that have passed... The thing that surprised me the most was that the girls in the brothel of a city I entered were very beautiful. But I didn't even dare to enter because I'm a little cowardly in these matters. I just looked at it from a distance.
Besides, if I get used to the fact that sex is done for money, I will have a lot of trouble. Anyway, I'm closing the topic because these issues are none of your business.
It's hard to travel on horseback, but it's better than walking. Thanks to this journey, it will be easier for me to fight enemies by conserving my energy. And indeed, it is necessary to have a good hip to travel on horseback.
But the good thing about this trip is that it definitely improves my mana. Since I don't have mana artery, I can only use my mana by breathing. But the real problem is how to use my mana.
From what I've heard, the secret is to dream. But no matter how much I dream, nothing happens. There are probably too many conditions for using mana.
And I won't learn it unless I learn from a wizard.
'How sad...'
As I was passing through the village, I heard conversations about druids in my ear.
"I'm sorry, but what about the druids?"
After he had looked me over enough, he said his word.
"You're a mercenary, I suppose?"
"I'm not, but I'm a warrior, let's go back to the druids you mentioned."
"The Druids have been very aggressive lately. Even if we don't go into the forest, they attack us and kidnap little girls."
"... Did you do anything to make them so aggressive?"
"Hmm... I Don't Think."
"Well, I'll see you."
"Wait, stranger. Can you help us with this druid shortage?"
"Hmm...If you give me accommodation, maintenance of my weapons, and some money. Why not?"
"All right, let's go to the chief of the village. Let's take your horse to the inn over there first."
'I think they're taking my horse hostage, if I die, lift my horse to them'
A short time later we arrived at the village chief.
"Village chief!!!"
"Come in slowly asshole!!!"
He was fingering a girl inside. The girl was neither pretty or ugly. She is a little above average, that's all.
After they decamped, they started talking among themselves. When they finished talking, they turned to me.
"Are you sure you can do that?"
"Probably yes. I would be glad if you could tell me a little about the subject and about the druids."
"Gladly. As my subordinates said, they've been too aggressive lately. And they started kidnapping girls. Unfortunately, I can't give you any information because we don't know much about the Druids."
Then junior on cut the word.
"What we know is limited, although they look like humans, they are integrated with the forest. They use magic and arrows very well. They also fire warning shots at you when you enter their territory."
"Well, we can talk, can't we?"
"Yes, it's possible for you to talk, but they don't usually agree to that."
"If you tell me where them are, I will try to help you."
They told me where it was. I then had my armor serviced. I wanted to sell the cores of the monsters I killed on the way, but I couldn't.
After a walk, I arrive at the forest. I focused on my perception and immediately an arrow passed by my ear.
It made a whistling noise and opened a slit in the trunk of the tree. Although I perceive the arrow, I don't think I can escape it clearly.
"I'm not here to attack you, I'm here to talk."
I put my hands up and seconth arrow went right through my hands among.
'I didn't notice that.'
"Human, tell we the reason for your arrival."
I managed to point with my finger, although it was limited.
"I came from the village over there, I want to know the reason for your aggression."
All at once it became quiet, and someone spoke as if she was angry.
"Do you also ask?! You've kidnapped the village chief's daughter, fuckers!"
The arrows started raining down on me. It would be ridiculous for me to release sleeping gas. The Druids are immune to this, and I don't know where the enemy is. Besides, time is limited.
That's why I can't attack. The only option left for me is to hide, but there's nothing here to protect me.
'Think, think! What will save you from this situation...'
"If you stop attacking me, I will save that kidnapping."
I threw myself behind a tree, but 2 arrows pierced my flesh in different places.
"Aghhh!!!"
The arrow shots stopped and silence began.
"You'd better not lie. Stand up with your hands in the air."
I did as she said, and soon after, 3 beautiful girls came down from above the trees.
"Take his weapons."
They took the only knife I had, and when they realized that I didn't have any other weapons on me, they tied my hands and blindfolded me.
"Don't you dare do anything, or you'll be a stud."
It's probably a bad thing, although I don't understand what she's saying with the stud.
After walking for a long time, it seems that we have arrived at an open area. It smells good in here. It is even a smell that can be addicted.
We went out somewhere. They opened my eyes, but my hands are still tied. This looks like the inside of a tree. There's no glass or anything around.
There is a very beautiful girl in the room, the kind who will make people's hearts jump. But in comparison, Aulë is more beautiful, I feel sad when I think about her, but the Aulë I remember is dead.
While it's nice to do the same things, it only hurts my heart more. I couldn't tell you, but I have no intention of telling you.
"Village chief, this person says he can save your kidnapped daughter."
"How can I trust this promise?"
"Let's place a curse on him, during this time he will have to bring your daughter."
"Hmm... I would love to solve this peacefully, but what do you want from us, human?"
"Call me Aquirus, I've heard that druids are skilled in the use of mana. If you teach me the basic knowledge of mana, I will bring your daughter."
The atmosphere went quiet at once and I can feel the anger in his eyes.
"You ..! Are you kidding with us? Am I going to ask a person who doesn't even know the basics of meaning to save my daughter? Fuck off!!!"
"Although I understand this reaction of yours, I am also strong without mana."
"You have annoyed me, human... Well, I'm giving you 2 days to save my daughter. If you can't save it during this time, raze the human village with you, one, we appreciate it!"
I can feel the urge to kill in your eyes when you say that. I was a little scared, but I wasn't that scared.
They threw me out the door instantly and blindfolded me again and threw me out of the forest.
'At least I survived.'
All right, my mission now is to save that child.
