Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

The next morning, I eat dinner and log in. I immediately go to check on Lily.

"Lily, are you still healing?"

"...Y, Yes. Maybe it's not healed yet"

Hmm? What a strange thing to say. Then comes Ion.

"Don't lie to me! You're already healed!"

"That's not true! Ion-chan"

"Hoho~. I see...Nowa!"

"...Doon"

Nowa jumps out of the shadows and dives into Lily's bed. Lily then makes no pretense of pain.

"Wh, What are you doing! Nowa-chan!"

"...Doesn't it hurt?"

"Ah"

Ion's strategy won.

"I, Itata~!"

Still going for it...but I never thought Lily would do something like this. I guess that's how much she likes nursing, but it's surprising.

"Don't be silly, get up quickly! If you keep this up, you're going to have to skip dinner!"

"I can't have that!"

I guess she's still a little naive about food. Well, when I looked at the dried out squid (dried out yesterday), I saw that it was safely done. That's where the info comes in.

『You have succeeded in making dried food. Drying has been added to your cooking skill』

Huhu. Right on target. Now I should be able to easily make dried bonito flakes and dried mint tea. I'll try it on the bonito filets right away.

"Dried!"

Then, in an instant, the dried bonito flakes were ready.

Dried Bonito Flakes: Rarity 6, Ingredient, Quality C

Dried bonito. An ingredient that is useful as a seasoning, etc. by shaving it with a grinder.

I bought a grinder yesterday. So I shaved the dried bonito flakes. This is the finished product.

Shaved Bonito Flakes: Rarity 6, Ingredient, Quality C

Seasoning made from shavings of dried bonito flakes. It is used for soup stock or directly in cooking.

So, three people came to the restaurant after being caught by the smell of the dried bonito flakes. Ion, Lian and Wako.

"""The smell is so good~"""

"I just made it, so don't drink it yet"

""Th, That!?""

You can't make a face like that. Be patient. Then Wako looks at the pot.

"Is this dashi?"

"Yes, it is. When it's done, you can use it for cooking too, okay?"

"Really? My skills are growing~"

After that, I took Ion and Lian out of the cafeteria, who were about to head to the pot and we all ate dinner together.

"What are you going to do today?"

"I'm going to the Sandwall Desert for now. There's likely to be a hideout or village in the opposite direction from where the caravan came from"

"Okay"

So we move to the oasis and search in the opposite direction from where the caravan came.

The members are Wako, Bran, Luna and Spica. If anything pops up along the way, I will summon Kurogane. Then, we will depart.

Then the scenery flies. Spica's speed is extraordinary. As we were running with Spica matching everyone else's speed, we saw a monster at the top of the dune.

Desert Lizard?

? ? ?

It's a giant lizard. Fighting someone? I check and it's another caravan. I wondered what to do, but if they were being attacked, I thought I would help them anyway.

I take out my spear.

"Let's go! Spica!"

Spica's horn was spinning and when the light gathered, it accelerated at once and pierced through the Desert Lizard.

However, it was impossible to hit the Desert Lizard with a single blow, as if its identification was ineffective. Then the Desert Lizard dived to the ground.

I switched to my staff. If it runs to the ground, this is it!

"Earthquake!"

An earthquake occurs. Come on, come on out!

Desert Lizard jumped out of the ground and bit us.

Just when it thinks it's got us, we duck. It's Spica´s illusion. Clearly, Spica is stronger. I'm sorry, but I'm not talking to myself.

The Desert Lizard used sand breath, stone throwing and sandstorm, but Spica was able to avoid all of them with her illusion. In retaliation, Spica pierced the Desert Lizard one after another with its spinning horns and the Desert Lizard was defeated.

Spica, you are relentless. We were almost out of time.

Now, we headed for the caravan in question. Then the representative arrives. He was a chubby, kind-looking guy. I'd hate it if he's actually black-hearted.

"No! Thank you for saving us from a dangerous situation! I am the leader of this caravan and my name is Caro"

"I am Takuto, a summoner. Was the caravan all right?"

"Thanks to you, there was almost no damage. Is Takuto-dono on business in the town ahead?"

"No. Is there a town ahead?"

Hearing my statement, Caro-san smiles bitterly.

"Takuto-dono...did you come to the desert without knowing anything about it by any chance?"

"Emm, I'm embarrassed to say..."

"Haha. You are so young! I remember the old days. If you don't know anything, I can teach you many things. In return, could I ask you to escort us?"

That would be helpful. I can get information, go to town, all that good stuff.

"I'll take care of it"

"Thank you!"

I dismantled the Desert Lizard and got the meat.

Desert Lizard Meat: Rarity 6, Ingredient, Quality C

Desert lizard meat. Large in size and very valuable meat in the desert. It is one of the treats for desert dwellers. It has a unique taste, so it is eaten in the desert with coconut palms to remove the smell.

This is the biggest meat I have ever eaten. We got three of them. Desert Lizard is a lump of meat, isn't it? Then we heard the sound of stomach rumbling from the caravaners.

"Is there somewhere we can take a break or something? You're in for a treat"

The caravaners cheered.

But there was no place to rest because the whole area was covered with sand. Then I forced myself to make one with an earth wall.

"Oh, older brother, that's great!"

"No way. We are lucky. We should thank the desert gods"

The caravan people started praying...umm~what are you going to do with the meat?

The meat ended up being cooked by a caravan member. The person heated coconut milk, which was supposed to be made from coconut palms, or coconuts and put the desert lizard meat in it and boiled it down.

Here is the finished product.

Lizard meat cooked in coconut milk: Rarity 6, Cooking Quality C

Effect: 40% fullness recovery, 1 hour strength up (large)

Desert lizard meat boiled down in coconut milk. Traditional desert dish.

This is an unknown dish to me. It should not be a food terrorism. I take a bite. Mmm!

"Delicious!"

"Thank you!"

The sweet coconut milk goes well with the desert lizard meat. It was written that there was a smell, but I don't feel it. The meat is also tender because it's been boiled down. Brilliant!

Over dinner, I was given a lot of information. There are two towns, two villages, and three oases here.

Karo and his staff were going around the oases, selling mainly water and local products of each town and village.

I asked them to show me their products. I really liked this one.

Acacia Sand Board: Normal Item

Board used in desert travel. Can be used anywhere in the desert.

It is a desert skateboard, but it is usually used when descending from a high place, but this sandboard can be skated anywhere regardless of that. It doesn't matter if you are going from the bottom to the top. It is more like a hoverboard than a sandboard. It's a lot of fun.

As I was enjoying myself, Najum, the daughter of Caro-san, who was riding Spica, applauded me.

"You're so good, big brother~"

"I can't believe it's your first time"

"Haha. Thank you"

"What do you think? Would you like to buy it?"

I know the habit...I'll buy it! There were other items that were essential in the desert. That is this.

Desert Compass: Important Item

This item allows you to know where towns, villages and oases are located in the desert.

First of all, they say that an ordinary compass cannot be used in this desert because of the environment and iron sand. When I looked at the magic compass, I couldn't find the direction either.

"The idea behind this compass is that it uses the power of feng shui to know the location of towns, villages and oases. In the desert, not only monsters, but also sandstorms, mirages, etc., often make it impossible to find the direction. That is why this compass is a lifeline for us."

I see. Then I'll buy one.

And they'll tell me about the slave caravan.

"You met them...you were wary at first because of that reason"

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize. They are a problem for us, too. We have heard stories of oases being taken over and caravans of our people being attacked"

It's that bad...

"Recently, I have heard that they have joined forces with desert bandits and have become more militant"

Desert bandits...probably the ones who came out of the shadows that time. Then Wako reacts.

"Takuto-han...enemy"

"It looks like a monster. Bran."

"Yes. Leave it to me. My Lord"

What appeared was Desert Scorpion. It seems like a waste of time, but it is certainly a strong enemy. Then we may as well use it.

"Here I come! Heavenly Ascension!"

A pillar of white light rains down from the heavens on Bran, and Bran evolves.

Bran's clothes become knight's armor.

Heavenly Ascension Lv1

Virtuous is an angel called a power angel. It is this Virtuous that performs miracles and it was supposedly this angel that accompanied Christ to heaven when he ascended.

In this game, it seems to be a crunchy martial artist.

Desert Scorpion sprays Bran with venom. Bran does not escape and takes a direct hit. But Bran is enveloped in a holy light and is not affected by the venom.

"...Is that all you got?"

When Bran provokes it, Desert Scorpion becomes angry and sends the needles from its tail flying, but Bran flaps its wings and activates the windproof wall.

Then all the needles are blocked by the wind barrier. That's still a lot more range than windproof. Desert Scorpion is stunned by the result.

"I see what you are capable of. It's time for me to go first!"

As Bran disappears, she appears near Desert Scorpion's face and clenches her shining fist.

"Concentration...Holy Fist!"

She hits Desert Scorpion directly in the face and Desert Scorpion bounces and goes flying off.

"It's too good for you, but I have a special service for you. Divine Punishment!"

A light of destruction beyond heavenly strike falls from the sky and strikes the dying Desert Scorpion, causing it to explode violently.

Let's not anger Bran. I thought seriously.

When the battle is over, Bran becomes an Angel and falls from the sky and I catch her.

"M, My Lord!? T, This is what I look like!?"

Hmm? Ah. She doesn't like the princess hug. She seemed dissatisfied when I put her down after praising her...what should I do? When I dismantled the desert scorpion, I got the shell.

Bran can't fight anymore, so I let her return. After that, two Desert Scorpions attacked us, but Kurogane was attacked. Kurogane, with his poison nullification, is Desert Scorpions natural enemy. We supported the rest and Rukiya smashed them and won the battle. When I dismantled them, I got the shells. According to Wako, we can make armor with this much. Who would be good? I'll think about it.

Then we arrived safely at the town.
