Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 81

Good!

Easy landing!

“Thank you, Yongyong. “I really would have had a hard time without you.”

“Kyuu? Wow.”

“Okay, you can show off as much as you like this time.”

It was a feeling comparable to business class. Thanks to Yongyong, X arrived safely at Frost Storm Cliff.

Slut!

It felt much colder than on top of the cliff, where the huge frost hit you as soon as you put your feet down.

X moved quickly.

“Ugh, it’s cold, it’s cold.”

Frost Storm Cliff ruins covered in ice.

Perhaps because it was frozen, its exterior was well preserved despite the passage of time. It has a distinctly different appearance from other ruins and has not been damaged since it was not touched by people or animals.

‘I didn’t know it when I saw it from above, but it’s a big city, right?’

In terms of scale, it was nothing compared to Arba. The problem was that it was covered in ice that did not melt, but the majesty of the ancient kingdom was felt. X approached a building that looked like a family home.

“Of course, there may be vengeful spirits and hidden items in places like this.”

“Kyuuuu!”

“Now, let’s go somewhere.”

It wasn’t that difficult for X to open the frozen door. closely! I grabbed the handle and applied force, and the door opened with a loud noise.

Hehehe! Ex closed the door in a hurry due to the freezing cold.

“Hehe, but it’s less cold because there’s no wind, right?”

“Kyuu?”

“Well, I was worried for no reason.”

What is cold?

X laughed at Yongyong’s innocent eyes. X carefully looked around the building. The furniture is antique and there are large paintings hanging on the walls.

‘It must have been a very well-to-do house?’

It seemed to be a house where a noble family from an ancient kingdom lived. But it wasn’t long before X had no choice but to change his mind. I could see farming tools, including a pickaxe and shovel, in the corner of the living room.

“…Was it used by servants?”

X muttered in a slightly puzzled voice. It was a wealthy house that you could not imagine being the home of a farmer who farmed the land himself. X, who was looking at the frosted paintings, was shocked.

“Oh, really…?”

Glittering golden wheat fields!

A middle-aged couple who appeared to be homeowners was depicted with the wheat field in the background. Behind them were buildings that looked familiar. These were the frozen, well-preserved buildings of Frost Storm Cliff.

X, who was looking at the picture, sighed.

“Ugh, something is disappointing.”

Well-preserved, high-quality buildings and fertile land!

In addition, Frost Storm Cliff was a safe enough location to be considered a natural fortress. Even if the weather had been normal, it goes without saying that I would have wanted to use the forgotten royal seal.

But the past and present situations were different.

X shook his head.

‘Using the royal seal is crazy, after all.’

I don’t know for what reason. The important thing is that the Frost Storm Cliffs are currently uninhabitable, so much so that they are called cursed lands! X looked around every corner of the house and organized his thoughts.

‘First of all, since we don’t know where the vengeful spirit is… let’s search while conserving our stamina. If you’re lucky, you might find a relic or useful item.’

There was no need to think much. X eagerly began examining the ruins one by one. The pictures and objects discovered each time showed that the heyday of Frost Storm Cliffs was anything but ordinary.

X picked up the cold metal watch from the drawer.

-Exquisite metal wristwatch (relic)

A watch crafted with high-level technology.

It has high research value.

Limit: Intelligence 500↑

Intelligence: +30

“… Since I had to make a living, of course my technology would have developed as well.”

Basically, when there is leisure, culture develops and technology develops. In that sense, Frost Storm Cliff had a very advanced culture and technology. X recalled Arva’s level of skill.

‘I’ve never seen a wristwatch like this even in Arba…’

It was indeed a mysterious ancient kingdom.

After taking the items, X quenched his appetite and headed to the next building.

“The more I think about it, the more I regret it… You too, Yongyong.”

“Kyuu? “Kyuuu!”

“You think the same as me?”

X was interpreting Yongyong’s answer however he wanted, but his regret was sincere.

It takes an enormous amount of money to develop and operate a territory owned by Fate. Thousands of gold are ridiculously invested just to build one building.

‘If only I could melt the ice, I could use it as is.’

Even if you can melt it with Yongyong’s breath, the weather is a problem. So, every time I saw the tall ruins of Frost Storm Cliff, I felt like my heart was breaking out of regret.

Is it okay to regret it?

You should pack items that look as expensive as possible.

X swallowed back tears and moved forward. Juseomjuseom. X searches the building to see if there is anything else to take. Suddenly, a strange energy appeared next to X.

“…!!”

X noticed and flinched. As I repeated the battle, I completely understood the gloomy and gloomy energy unique to the Vengeful Spirit.

However, the energy I felt now was a different energy from the vengeful spirit. X put his hands on his waist and turned around.

There was a translucent ghost there.

“Great adventurer, can you do me a small favor?”

It was a male ghost with a thick beard. A portrait that can be seen briefly behind the ghost. The man depicted in the portrait was the owner of this house.

…Is that so?

Finished understanding the situation!

X said, hastily removing his hand from the cabinet.

“of course! Please ask me anything!”

quest!

It was not a vengeful spirit that could not be seen in other ruins, but a ghost from an ancient kingdom who asked X for help. Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

The ghost spoke in response to X’s powerful answer.

“Thank you. And there’s no need to worry.”

“…What do you mean?”

“It’s already been thousands of years… no, tens of thousands of years since I’ve been able to leave this house. My obsession with things from when I was alive has long since disappeared. “If you do me a favor, I won’t care at all whether you bake it or boil it.”

“Is that really true?”

A spirit of non-possession that a greedy

But he wasn’t the type of person who would refuse to give it to him. The ghost nodded and continued speaking.

“My request won’t be that difficult. It’s not a special request. Some people may laugh at it, but to me, there is nothing more important or bothering me than this. As you can see, I was alone. “I had a fairly large field, but I had no family.”

It’s family.

X slightly averted his eyes at the ghost’s words. As he said, there were no pictures of people who looked like family. The man said as he followed X around the picture.

“Every day was a day filled with loneliness, sadness, and alcohol. But every time that happened, there was a guy who would welcome me with his tail wagging.”

When I heard those words, I could guess what his request was.

“Maybe that’s why we were attracted to each other because we were both wanderers with nowhere to go. Ha ha, the scruffy guy who was wagging his tail didn’t leave my eyes. But… the end came the day I decided to raise him at home.”

Tiroling! The man made a request along with the message.

“…Would you like to find the person who is still wandering outside in the cold? “If I’m with him, I think I’ll be able to happily endure the painful times I don’t know how long I’ll have left.”

《The Only Friend》

Even after thousands and tens of thousands of years passed, the man could not forget his only friend who was facing the bitter wind. Only you can return the warmth to the two of you.

Condition: Finding a stray dog

Difficulty level: C-

Reward: Intimacy with the man All the property he left behind

“Kyuuuu…”

Yongyong looked at X with sad eyes. Yongyong looks down on all beings except X, but he seems to have truly felt the man’s emotions this time. X smiled and answered while stroking Yongyong.

“of course. “I’ll go and find it right now!”

*

Sssssssssssssssssssss!

X sniffled and muttered.

“I gave an interesting answer, but… it must be very wide.”

My cheeks were numb from the rushing wind. It’s so fucking cold that even heavenly cooking doesn’t help! Even if the human body could move as fast as possible, there were limits. But it wasn’t Yongyong.

What does cold mean to a dragon?

Flap! Yongyong soared into the sky, cutting through the wind. Yongyong’s golden eyes were shining as he searched for stray dogs. X shrugged his shoulders at the enthusiastic look.

“You look even more special today.”

He gives me plane rides and now even helps me on quests.

It’s natural that it looks so pretty that it doesn’t hurt your eyes.

Of course, X had no intention of putting Yongyong in trouble. X looked down the narrow alley. A question suddenly occurred to X. How was the man able to maintain his sanity?

‘So far, I’ve only met vengeful spirits.’

Are they still wandering this world, even though they are not souls that have been branded with destruction?

I don’t know why, but it was definitely a strange situation.

‘Is it a trap of another being or its worshiper? no. It makes no sense for me, an ancient kingdom explorer, not to recognize their aura. There might be a secret hidden in the frost storm cliff….’

I can’t believe I’m using my brain, which I didn’t even use while studying, to play a game.

While X was thinking deeply, Yongyong was heard crying.

“Kyuuuu!”

“Did you find it, Yongyong?”

“Kyuuuuuuu!!”

In any case, this was a question I had to keep thinking about. At Yongyong’s call, X rushed forward.

fluttering. Below the dragon flying low, a translucent dog like the man was baring its teeth.

‘He’s got a big liver too.’

Even if you’re so wary, you never thought you’d show your teeth to a dragon!

He looked like a puppy for a day. X approached him cautiously.

“Isn’t that right?”

“Grrrrr….”

“…If I go any further, I’m going to get bitten?”

He seemed like a stray dog with a deep distrust of people. Calming it like you would a normal dog didn’t work. The X I was wondering how to take was just right! I snapped my fingers.

“okay. “Take a good look.”

X took the leash from his inventory again. Then he picked up the leather strap and brought it to his mouth.

It looked similar to a man with a thick beard. The stray dog let his guard down slightly.

“Grrrr?”

“You remember this beard, right? “That guy is looking for you.”

“Kyuuuu. “Kyuuukkyuu.”

Yongyong translated X’s words and delivered them to the stray dog. Are we on the same page?

The guy closed his mouth and took a step closer to X. The guy followed X, keeping his distance.

Since he was following along well, X had no intention of dragging him along. Squeak! When X opened the door, he heard a man’s voice.

“Did you find the car?”

“Sure.”

“Wow!”

“…!”

The dog, which was so fierce, became a gentle sheep when it saw the man. X and Yongyong watched the two with satisfaction. The man who was hugging and having a touching reunion said.

“Thank you so much. “Great and merciful adventurer!”

Tiroling!

[You have succeeded in your quest!]

It was their first reunion in tens of thousands of years, and X did not want to disturb them any further.

But I felt like this question had to be asked. Otherwise, I couldn’t erase the doubt from my mind. X, who was pondering, opened his mouth.

“teacher. “Sorry, but do you mind if I ask you a question?”

“Of course. “You have no reason not to answer.”

“…Do you remember the day of destruction?”

“…How could I forget that day?”

Did a terrible memory come to mind?

A shadow fell on the man’s face.

X continued.

“I don’t know if you can believe it, teacher, but I am chasing the truth of that day and the forces behind it. Meanwhile, I encountered numerous ghosts. “But this is the first time I’ve seen a ghost who retains his memories from when he was alive like you.”

“…is it?”

“Do you have any idea why?”

In response to X’s question, the man looked out the window with faint eyes.

The royal palace was visible between the buildings. The man who was thinking opened his mouth quietly.

“Perhaps it is because of the great young king’s love for his people.”
