I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Chapter 74.2: Wyvern (1)

Chapter 74.2: Wyvern (1)

The escort knight’s saddle was originally designed for two people, so there was no need to change her saddle.

She probably rode in a two-man saddle, in case she had to carry guests, as she did now.

“Shhh, it’s alright.”

As I approached, the escort knight calmed down the wyvern, who was openly showing its dislike for me, by patting its neck.

This was the reason it was impossible to breed wyverns like livestock.

It was so strong and ferocious that it was very difficult to capture it. A wyvern would also never follow anyone that it did not recognize it as its owner.

Until now, many people tried to tame the wyvern, but the reason they failed from the start was the same.

Because if they were captured and locked up, they wouldn’t eat until they died of starvation, or they would just simply turn to suicide by harming themselves.

That’s why it’s impossible to ride another wyvern unless you ride with the owner.

The escort knight who had calmed down the wyvern jumped onto its back first.

Seeing that, I hesitated for a moment, then used space leap to get on the back of the wyvern.

Because I suddenly appeared behind her, she jumped and put her hand on the hilt of her sword. Then, after realizing that it was just me, she was stunned again and then lowered her hand.

“···Apologies, Seventh Lord!”

“No. I was the one who startled you.”

Teleportation was not a common ability in this world, so it was natural to react that way.

Anyway, that’s roughly how things were prepared.

“Have a safe trip.”

Asher greeted me from below.

I nodded and looked away.

Flutter!

The Thunder Lord’s wyvern flapped its wings first and flew up. There was a gust of wind all around.

I watched it and grabbed the handle on the front of the saddle.

Soon the wyvern I was riding also flew up into the sky following the Thunder Lord’s wyvern.

As soon as it flew in the air, it sped up in an instant, and the wyverns flew at terrifying speed.

The castle below looked like a dot as it receded in the blink of an eye.

Hmmm.

Enjoying the feeling of riding for the first time in a while, I put more strength into the handle I was holding. Because it felt like I would be thrown off if I wasn’t careful.

I was told that it would take five days to get to our destination. That actually starting to worry me.

***

If one saw it in an animation or a movie, didn’t people ride wyverns and griffons comfortably?

In reality, fiction was just fiction.

With the wind blowing nonstop from the front, the balance rattled precariously with every flap of its wings.

Riding a flying beast was really incomparable to a horse or a carriage.

The escort knight should consider it fortunate that this body I possessed had a constitution that hardly suffered from motion sickness. Or I would have vomited on her back long ago.

If I want to have a wyvern, flying at this speed was something I had to adapt to, anyway.

I tried to enjoy the current flight with that mind-set.

I didn’t really enjoy it, but fortunately, I quickly got used to it to some extent.

Although the ride still did not feel comfortable, at least the scenery was excellent.

Oh···

I admired the verdant mountain peaks below.

I wanted to check where we were passing while looking at a map, but unfortunately I couldn’t because my hands were both full.

The wyverns flew at a constant speed without a break for half a day, as if they didn’t feel tired.

After moving for a long time, it was only when the sun slowly set that the wyverns came down to the ground.

“How far have we come?”

“About this.”

The escort knight answered by pointing to a place on the map.

I nodded and put the map back.

We reached a distance that would have taken more than a week by carriage in just half a day.

It must have been because there were no restrictions on the terrain since it was flying, but it was really an incredible speed.

The escort knight prepared dinner.

She took out the utensils from the bag attached to the wyvern’s back and started preparing the meal.

There was no one else to do this job, so of course, she could only do it herself. But when I thought about it, it was a little dumbfounding.

Because she was a level 83.

Was she not a knight?

Leaning on the side of the wyvern on one side, the Thunder Lord opened her mouth.

“Viola···”

Then, when she looked at me, she shut her mouth again.

Rising from her seat, she sneaked up to the escort knight and whispered. But because of my super sensory, I heard it all.

“What are you going to do for dinner?”

“It’s a cheese stew.”

“I’m tired of stew. Grill the meat.”

“All right.”

Then, as if nothing had happened, she returned to her seat and sat down.

I couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

Judging from the informal way of talking, what they had was not just an ordinary master-servant relationship.

Until the Thunder Lord became a Lord, she must have been a precious lady within the family.

Conscious of my gaze, the Thunder Lord said bluntly.

“What do you keep staring at?”

“Nothing.”

I shook my head.

In an instant, the escort knight set up a mold to grill the meat, took out the smoked meat, and started roasting it over the fire once more.

Soon, the meat was grilled to taste, and the meal began in a quiet atmosphere.

Near the end of the meal, the Thunder Lord opened her mouth and asked.

“You said you’re planning to tame a wyvern.”

“Yes.”

“Seventh Lord, you have to go to the conference in a while. Can you tame one before that?”

She said in a slightly proud voice.

I know why she said that.

Looking around for wyverns and hoping that even one would choose me as its master, luck was not the only thing needed.

*Correction: Thunder Lord’s escort knight is actually a girl. I only realized it when she called her ‘Viola’. (⌒_⌒;)
