I Have Tamed a Spider Monster - Chapter 171
🕑 Added 2024-05-11 06:14:10 +0000 UTCJourney to the Capital
After showing Alizée the letter from Marquis Vardmoi at the Trade Guild, they quickly loaded the Lumite Grand Wing with meat and materials.
Also, it seems Alizée will be accompanying us all the way to the Capital.
For such a significant transport, it would be suspicious for merchants to travel without a personal escort, which is why Alizée will be driving, making it easier for me but leaving me with nothing to do...
Anyway, with Lady Harriet, little Bern, and the Lumite Grand Wing fully loaded with Frost Wyvern materials, we passed through the gates and out of the city.
The road to the Capital is still not fully recovered from the Dribs Golems' damage, so we'll be sticking to the main road from the start.
Once we reach the recovery site, we'll change our route.
Lady Harriet seemed to have no objections, so it's settled.
Now, as we continued on...
We encountered a herd of buffalo-type monsters.
However, it seems another group of adventurers was already fighting them.
And atop the monsters' heads, I could see a Stone Golem—could that be Lehreta?
"Lady Lily, what should we do?"
"Hmm, if we're needed, let’s lend a hand. If not, we'll just pass by."
"Understood. Ready for combat!"
Uhina and Tomoa stayed as escorts on the Lumite Grand Wing, while Talat, Keuko, Akumi, and I headed towards the Stone Golem.
The battle seemed to be in favor of the Stone Golem, so we could just leave it, but we want to pass through quickly.
Helping Lehreta would be faster.
By the way, intervening in a battle where adventurers are already dominant without a request for assistance is strictly prohibited.
It causes disputes over monster loot.
"Lehreta! Are you there!?"
"Hm!? That voice, is it you, Lily! Long time no see!"
"Nice to see you! But more importantly, we'd like to pass through here, so can we assist in clearing out these monsters? We don't need any share of the loot!"
"To receive assistance without sharing the loot goes against the principles of decency... But if you're in a hurry, I understand. Please help with the extermination!"
"Understood! Talat, freeze their legs!"
"Kyui!"
Talat shoot threads of ice, entangling the monsters' legs.
Soon, the monsters' legs froze and shattered, rendering them immobile.
After that, we just needed to finish off the incapacitated monsters, making it an easy victory.
"Phew, that was close. I jumped in without thinking, and then a herd showed up... My retainers wouldn't have lost, but it would've taken time to defeat them one by one."
"That was unfortunate. Well then, we'll be on our way."
"Wait! We need to decide on the reward distribution..."
"No, it's fine. We were in a hurry to get to the Capital. Goodbye."
"... Understood. Then, I will at least leave the magic stones with Vardmoi's Adventurers’ Guild! Come back for them when you have time!"
Hmm, Lehreta still seems a bit odd, but he's a principled person.
He's not a bad person, so I can't dislike him. As a senior tamer, I hope he does well.
Now, let's return to the Lumite Grand Wing and continue on.
I hope we don't encounter any more monsters ahead.
