93 – Upstairs (5)

A lighter is made using rare jewels from a certain mineral vein that is thoroughly hidden from the royal family.

After passing electricity through these jewels, rubbing the same jewels against each other creates fire.

Therefore, the lighter structure is simple.

A self-generating substance and two mysterious gems created by alchemists.

A conductor is attached to the two jewels to make electricity flow, and then a device is created so that the separated jewels can touch each other with the press of a button.

Next, an insulator is used to cover the outside so that electricity does not flow. At this time, the price is determined by what the insulator is used for.

The lighter in Chester’s hand is decorated to look like metal at a glance, and it is a low-end item among lighters.

Of course, since the lighter itself is expensive, most wealthy people do not dare to buy it, even if it is a low-end one.

TD Dick!

Chester pressed the trigger of his lighter with his finger, and the jewels collided and sparked.

“Is the inside damaged?”

“Nope. A broken lighter just doesn’t work. This is probably selling something that was a failure from the start.”

“Right.”

Tidy Dick. Tidy Dick.

After seeing a few sparks fly, Chester nodded in satisfaction.

“But at this rate, I don’t think I’ll need to carry an ember from now on.”

“Iknow, right. Ha, I never thought I would see Lighter again on the floating island.”

The lighter is the so-called state-of-the-art artifact of civilization that is incomparable to the machete.

“I liked the lighters used by the duke’s family. I could just light a fire no matter what kind of firewood I brought. It didn’t even require lighting.”

From the beginning, it was just a bonfire shape, and it was over when the fire was lit.

“You know what? The royal family was thinking of using it as a weapon.”

“Hmm. If you make the lighter big enough, it will be intimidating enough.”

“Yes. However, it is meaningless because large gemstones do not come out in the first place.”

Saying that, Monia took the lighter from Chester’s hand and examined it.

A small brand crest was stamped in the lower corner of the lighter.

“Hmm. It is an item made in the Sandros workshop. I make a lot of luxury goods, but personally, I don’t like it because I also mass-produce mid-priced products.”

“yes?”

“Well, one thing is strong though. It’s to the point where they say that once you buy a Sandros, you’ll never buy the same one again.”

The durability evaluation was very suspicious in the part of selling defective products, but Chester nodded his head saying he knew.

In this part, Monia is much more reliable than Chester himself.

“Hasn’t Chester been branded, too?”

“I’m not going to use it, it’s because I only used it to find or prepare things that you and the duke ordered.”

For the dignity of the Duke family, only the highest quality brands were memorized and used for each item and item.

I did a lot of high-end brand shopping for a long time. Enough to be treated as the best customer. None of Chester’s personal items were on the shopping list.

TD Dick!

Chester, who tried to activate the lighter once again, took care of it.

“Shall we move slowly?”

At Chester’s words, Monia nodded as she chewed on the last piece of snake meat.

“Yep. Let’s go.”

“It’s Ant.”

* * *

“… … .”

“… … .”

Shortly after starting off, the three of them were caught.

Nothing else, because two creatures were fighting in the immediate vicinity.

A huge monster with horns sprouting from its nose and a giant monster with flying lizard-like wings that you don’t know if it’s a tiger or a wolf.

The two monsters were entangled and fighting each other, and each time the two monsters fought, the surrounding ground was dug up, rocks were broken, and trees were uprooted and turned into a mess.

“You are crazy!”

The moment Chester and Monia hurriedly rolled away from their seats, the tree they were hiding in earlier was crushed and smashed.

-You!

The horned monster cried out strangely and continued to charge while crushing other monsters.

– Kyaaa!!

While the monster that had escaped from being trampled on and bitten by the monster with horns on its nose, Chester, Monia, and Ant ran away as soon as the road in front of them became empty.

Monia, who ran to support Chester’s injured leg, sighed as she wiped away the sweat.

“Oh my gosh. I could have been crushed to death.”

“Yeah. I think I know how ants live.”

“Ahahahaha.”

At Chester’s words, Monia smiled and looked behind her.

I can still hear the two monsters fighting in the distance.

“Whoa.”

“Those monsters are rampaging, but the forest is safe.”

“It’s because of those molds. No, should it be a parasite?”

“A parasite?”

“yes. I saw it up close. There was something like green powder stuck to the fur of the horned monster on its nose.”

“Green powder.”

Monia recalled something resembling the green mold that was eating away at fallen trees.

“ah.”

“If the monster eats the leaves, the parasites eat the remaining trees, which then eat the trees and make new trees grow faster, making food for the monsters.”

“Do we really need to wait for the tree to fall?”

“Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t be able to eat the bark and eat the flesh? There must be a reason for anything.”

Chester said as he looked at the fallen tree.

There were a lot of green powder that was attached to the monster all over the fallen tree, but if you look a little closer, you can see that it’s not powder, but a bag containing something.

When Chester throws a rock from a distance, the pouch bursts in shock and the green worms inside begin pouring out.

“It’s a surprise. It’s disgusting.”

“Can I eat that?”

“Don’t even think about eating it!”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t think about it!”

Monia forcibly moved on, leading Chester, who was wondering if he could really eat that bug or not.

“Why on earth are you trying to eat bugs like that!”

“Because it can be easily found and obtained anytime, anywhere. Bugs are the best when you have neither the power to make traps nor the power to catch animals.”

“You won’t come all the way here once your treatment is over!”

“Well. That’s right.”

Chester abandoned his regret for the bug.

The adventure upstairs went that way.

They follow Ant’s scent of water and walk along the road, looking for water, food, and a shelter to sleep for the day.

“I can’t see the river.”

“Yeah. What if I can’t see you tomorrow?”

Chester and Monia worried as they squeezed the leaves from the plant and squeezed the water out of it.

Ant kept sniffing the water, but the water source was nowhere to be seen for longer than expected.

How many days have you been walking like this?

“town. Oh my gosh! write.”

“I want some fruit.”

“I want to drink a little more delicious water. Ugh!”

Monia frowned as she drank the water she squeezed out of the leaves.

“Don’t spill the water.”

Chester wiped the water droplets from Monia’s nape with his fingers.

“Hey!”

Monia shrank in surprise at the sudden touch of her neck, but Chester didn’t care and continued to climb up Monia’s chin, cheeks, and even steal water from her lips.

Then he put the finger that had stolen the water into his mouth and sucked it.

“Pocket.”

“I’m sorry.”

Monia, who saw that, blushed and covered the nape of her neck with her hand.

Chester tore off an additional leaf and held it in his palm, then squeezed the leaf with his remaining four fingers, thumbs outstretched.

The juice squeezed from the leaves ran down his thumb and dripped into Chester’s mouth.

“great. Shall we start soon?”

“I want to eat that fruit.”

“fruit. Yeah. I want to eat. Would you like some?”

Deciding that it was time to revitalize, Chester took out a bamboo tube from the basket.

When the leaves blocking the entrance of the bamboo barrel were cleared, the pickled fruits inside appeared.

Salted fruits made by Monia.

Chester and Monia pulled out some fruit and gnawed at them, cheering them up.

If you see an edible plant on the road, eat it.

If you can find a way to get water, get it and drink it.

If you can’t find anything like meat, go on the road while eating smoked meat.

The biggest problem with the lack of water was that there was no way to care for Chester’s wounds.

I had to clean the wound with clean water every day, but I couldn’t do that, and the wound was getting worse as I moved on the rough road with my bad legs.

Blood and pus gushed out several times from the wound on her thigh, and the wound on her chest also turned red and heated up.

Chester was pretending to be sane as best he could, but he felt his body heat up and his mind go berserk.

Chester tried to hide the hardships as best he could, but he couldn’t help the unconscious reactions that came out when he slept at night.

Pain rolls over his body as he grunts in pain.

Every time that happened, Monia quietly woke up, looked at Chester with a worried face, wiped the sweat from her eyes, and waited for him to get better.

When Chester reached his limits due to wounds and infections, and Monia due to lack of sleep.

– Kwang! kong! kong!!

Ant ran forward, making a louder noise than ever.

with a plop!!

It made a loud noise.

Hearing that sound, Chester and Monia hurriedly ran to the tall bush and looked at the scene in front of them.

“Wow.”

“wow.”

It was a superb view that made me exclaim.

A beautiful blue glowing lake that suddenly appeared in an untouched deep forest. A wolf swimming there… one dog.

Chester took a hard step to the edge of the lake, took off his jacket, scooped up a bucket of water from the lake, and doused his shallowest wound.

Surprisingly, the lacerated wound on Chester’s shoulder began to heal quickly and with visible speed.

“… … ha ha ha. Awesome.”

“wow! ah! and! it’s good! Haaa!”

Next to Chester.

“Gulp.”

Monia was drinking water with her head in the lake water.

“… … .”

Chester was at a loss for words when he saw the lady of the duke, and opened his mouth.
