Chapter 631 Feeding
Two days later, we arrived at our destination.
This place was a town called Tide Town, which was the closest town to the Bald Mountain that the wyverns were gathering in.
When we arrived at the town, we could see that there weren’t that many people here.
That was because they already knew about the wyverns and there were many people who had evacuated.
Even when we came in through the gates, the guards that were there warned us about this place.
Though they didn’t say it directly, they were clearly hinting for us to leave this place as soon as possible.
But we didn’t since we were meeting people here.
When we came to the place that the message told us to come to, we met a group of cloaked figures that waved for us to come in. This group had the same cloaks as Shadow Five and she even appeared in person to confirm that this was indeed the group that we were supposed to meet.
This house that they had brought us into was a fancy one that clearly belonged to a rich person, but here they were using it without a single care.
It once again made it clear just how rich the fourth prince was.
I already knew this since I had information from the game, but seeing it in real life was something else.
After we came in, these people went to another room to bring out several chests.
After putting these chests down, the one that seemed to be the leader came forward to say, “Count Zwein, these are the items that you have requested. Other than this, his highness has instructed us to stay here and assist you in this matter.”
The others all nodded before giving slight bows to me.
It seemed that for them, this was already considered a great amount of respect for a person.
After this, they just waited there as if they were waiting for orders from me.
With an awkward smile on my face, I said, “I’ll need some help carrying these things out of town. What I’m going to use these things with won’t be able to come into the town, so we’ll need to bring these things out of the town.”
I could see that they were looking at me as if they were confused even though I couldn’t see their faces under the cloaks.
As for my group, they had bitter smiles on their faces.
Though they had no idea what was in these chests or what I would do with them, they knew what I was referring to which made them reveal a bitter smile.
Then there was Shadow Five who had disappeared after I had said this.
It seemed like she couldn’t face her companions after I had mentioned this.
She didn’t know how to face them without giving away the truth, but even then…it would be hard for them to believe.
So she took the easy way out by running away.
Though they were confused as to what I was referring to, they still brought the chests to a carriage that was behind this house. It seemed that they had already prepared everything for me.
With this carriage, we were able to easily leave the town since it had the mark of one of the local nobles on it. With that mark, the guards let us out without a single question.
Once we were out of the town, I had them drive the carriage away from the town before stopping at the side of the road.
I waved my hand and pulled out a whistle that I suddenly blew into that didn’t seem to make any noise at all.
But it didn’t take long before powerful winds started blowing across us.
When the cloaked figures looked up, they were shocked to find the wyvern that was flying there above us.
These were elite personal guards that the fourth prince had sent, so they didn’t hesitate at all to surround me as the leader gave orders, “Take the count away and ensure that he remains safe. The rest of us will stay here to cover for him.”
It seemed like they were about to attack the wyvern, so I quickly stopped them and said, “Wait, it’s not an enemy.”
They all looked at me like they were wondering what I was talking about, but I just confirmed that it indeed wasn’t an enemy. Once the wyvern landed, I slowly let them approach the wyvern and pet it just like the others had done.
Of course, the wyvern had also demanded another squirrel carcass out of me that I quickly handed over to it.
When they were finally certain that the wyvern wouldn’t do anything to it, they turned to look at me.
Even without seeing the faces of these cloaked figures, I could already guess how they were looking at me.I just ignored them as I had Cecilia and the others bring the chest over.
Once they brought them over, I opened up one of the chests to reveal a piece of wood.
This was a normal looking piece of wood that didn’t seem like there was anything special about it, but I picked it up and brought it over to the wyvern.
The wyvern looked at me with a look of confusion, as if it was asking, “What are you doing?”
I ignored this look and just brought the piece of wood right up in front of the wyvern’s mouth before saying, “Eat it.”
The wyvern’s look of confusion turned into a look of shock before it took a step back.
It was clear that the wyvern didn’t want to eat this piece of wood that I was holding, but I wouldn’t let it get away.
I immediately moved forward after it took a step back and raised the piece of wood up to the wyvern’s mouth as I said, “Open up, that’s an order.”
The wyvern looked at me with a very unwilling look, but I wouldn’t back down.
So all it could do was open its mouth in the end for me to toss the piece of wood inside.
It chewed it a bit and there was a disgusted look on its face, but then…
