The Hero in Exile

Chapter 115 We Have Dragon Meat

"You are leaving so soon my friend. I will not treat your people unfairly. I wish you a safe journey."

"Ha, even though you are the king of the demons, I won't tell the humans about your whereabouts. From my impression, you are quite my type."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Hook. Brunson, I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet. As for our compatriots in Lunst, I'll leave them to you."

Moran couldn't help but feel that time passed so quickly and now it was time to say goodbye again, but this time was to go to the dwarf country to lift the curse.

"Lingyu, you must take care of yourself when you are outside. Don't get hungry. Come on, Chu Xinyumo, say goodbye to your sister."

"Goodbye, sister." The two children standing behind the old lady also leaned out and looked at Lingyu reluctantly.

"Here are the maps and things for the journey, and..." Lunster handed the things to Moran. His eyes were no longer serious, but a little warm: "Smelly boy, don't go out and cause trouble."

Moran was stunned at first and then laughed out loud. Ever since he became the Demon King, he rarely heard Lunster call him in that tone and he even missed the past.

"I get it, old man. After all, you're the one who taught me how to be an assassin, haha."

"If you know, get out of here, kid."

"I know, I know. I'm leaving now."

Lunster also removed the shackles of their previous relationship and scolded the boy as a foster father. Looking at Lingyu and Moran getting on the carriage, he sighed and turned back.

"Are you leaving just like that?" Looking at the figures of the people saying goodbye behind me turning into the size of a meter and finally disappearing on the horizon, I always feel that the recent life has been a little unreal.

Moran sat in the front of the carriage and drove it towards a new route. Lingyu was also busy sorting out their things in the cargo room of the carriage.

Two sleeping bags, a water bottle, some spare clothes, and the underwear the lady gave her. No, she couldn't let Moran see them. What if he started to have some mental problems? Lingyu silently put the clothes into her small bag.

Dried meat, lots of water, black bread, huh? Why is there such a big piece of raw meat wrapped in leaves? Raw meat in the hot summer will turn into rotten meat in two days.

"Mo Lan, do you know who put this raw meat there? It's not easy to preserve."

"Oh, that's what you mean. That's dragon meat. Dragon meat contains magic power and can be preserved much longer than ordinary meat. And eating it can also replenish magic power."

"Oh, that's how it is."

It turned out that this was the same meat that was served at the banquet. When I think of the banquet, I remember that I was so possessed that I said such words. But fortunately, he didn't understand. Anyway, he had drunk some wine that day and just pretended to have forgotten about it. If I didn't mention it, he couldn't do anything.

But it seems that I do have this kind of feeling towards this guy. It must be because I have been a girl for four years, and it must be because I have only been in contact with this guy for such a long time in these four years. Even if I really want to develop that kind of relationship, I have to be mentally prepared. After more than ten years of living as a man, I will not be able to accept it for a while.

"Forget it." Lingyu murmured. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. Fortunately, the guy had his back to her and didn't notice.

Just give yourself a little more time to prepare. I hope he can wait a while. As long as he is ready, it is not impossible for me to confess. Lingyu came to her senses and smiled bitterly. It only took a moment for her to give it to this guy for free.

……

"Hey, Moran, why are we going to the Dwarf Kingdom? Have you found a way to solve the curse?" Lingyu was tired of looking at the scenery, so she went to Moran to ask.

"Well, almost."

Moran roughly told Lingyu that before leaving, Hook found him. Hook had some friendship with the dwarf king Ironhammer Bronzebeard. They discovered a fine gold mine at the junction of the Orcs and the Dwarves. When Bronzebeard came to discuss how to divide it, Hook took the initiative to do a favor and gave it to the other party. Anyway, the Orcs could not forge it with their technology. Therefore, the two countries had some exchanges. After all, the Dwarf Kingdom was far away and there were not many believers in that land. The church was also under pressure from various countries.

This time he went to Moran with Hook's token to find Bronzebeard. Bronzebeard possessed the magical forging hammer inherited from their family. His cursed chain was indeed a real object. As long as it was something that could be forged, the weapon could also change its form. Although it might not necessarily eliminate the curse, he had to try it.

"So that's it."

After listening to Moran talking so much, I felt sleepy, so I just said a few words to Moran, put the sleeping bag in the carriage and started to rest.

At this time, Hook and Brunson were discussing the transaction between the two cities in the Orc Mansion.

"Your city is being repaired and we can provide some manpower."

"We have dragon meat."

“We can provide the forging technology.”

"We have plenty of dragon meat."

"We can provide medical technology and our city can secretly help suppress the church. We will also secretly hand over the orc and demon slaves inside to you."

"We have plenty of fresh dragon meat."

The deal was concluded so easily. Dragon meat is delicious food for the orcs, but it is a treasure for the humans. The magic in the meat alone is enough to make the nobles spend a fortune on it, not to mention the extremely hard dragon horns. Giving such things to the dwarf blacksmiths might turn out semi-artifact-level weapons.
