Chapter 98.6 - The Second Year at the Academy - Consequences of a Chain (6)
I made a surprised expression and looked at the corpse.
The spirit it summoned was lower-ranked, probably between C-rank upper and B-rank lower.
It was a formidable opponent, but Rannell had only [Earth Bolt] as an attack means.
If anything, [Stalagmite] was more dangerous.
Anyway, I heard an interesting story.
Spirit magic is a kind of contract, isn't it?
Those with the [Spirit Communion] skill should be able to make contracts.
"Sorry for interrupting the story."
The ranch manager cut in hesitantly.
"Would it be alright to transport this snake?"
"Yes. It's too big to dismantle here. It's modest, but I'll pay you for your trouble."
Though the shepherds were hesitant, they jumped at the mention of payment.
They quickly tied ropes and began preparing for transportation.
Once brought to a corner of the grazing land, I asked a shepherd for well water and had Serade help with dismantling.
As a result, a magic stone, round leather, two fangs, and an additional magic stone from an undigested Dreppen were found.
I also obtained one magic stone from the Dreppen I had taken down and collected sixteen well-preserved wings.
The bones of Kudo
urga seemed unlikely to be valuable, but I took them back for now.
I asked Ted and the others to dispose of the Dreppen's entrails in the forest.
What remained was a large amount of meat.
It was labeled as harmless in [Appraisal], but the taste was unknown.
I cut it into bite-sized pieces with a knife, seared it with [Flint], and sprinkled it with salt.
When I put it in my mouth, I was surprised by its tenderness.
As I suspected during dismantling, it became even more distinctive when chewed.
Perhaps it was to make it easier to move through the soil.
"It has a subtle taste. This would go well with any dish."
Upon hearing my impression, everyone furrowed their brows.
A request that only involves protecting turns out to be this difficult.
The intense battle with Kudurga ended, and applause erupted from the shepherds, who had somehow been listening.
Everyone's faces were filled with relief and joy in the campfire light.
Raising my cup, I responded to the applause.
In any case, we successfully defended the ranch.
