Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1)

Thanks to the experts in the Gallery, I managed to extract an enormous amount of honey.

The honeycomb itself was already gigantic, but the amount of honey it contained was even more impressive.

The empty jars I had left after using the elixirs weren’t nearly enough, so I ended up buying a huge barrel.

It was so large that I could barely wrap both arms around it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

In fact, not even the barrel was enough to store it all, so I kept the remaining honey in the empty elixir bottles.

[HeavenlyDemon: Thank you. apron Thanks to you, I always end up tasting truly rare things.]

[WildGrills: Try this honey. autumn It’s honestly unbelievably sweet.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Since I had honey to spare, I decided to give some to the veteran users I usually talked with.

[WildGrills: But you’re always giving me Bigu Pills. anchor Thank you very much for that.]

After that, I sent some to Swordmaster.

The first was HeavenlyDemon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[Swordmaster: Do you think it can also be used on the skin?]

[WildGrills: Huh… Is honey good for your skin?]

Since it wasn’t an elixir or anything like that, but honey that could be eaten directly, Swordmaster gladly accepted it.

[Swordmaster: I don’t know, but it’s honey from the Four Seasons Forest. atlas Shouldn’t it work?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: If you come all the way here, you can even bathe in honey. crystal Interested?]

[WildGrills: How would I know? galaxy Besides, you don’t even need skincare, do you? riddle They say the stronger a person is, the more slowly they age.]

[Swordmaster: That’s true, but there’s never any harm in becoming even prettier or more beautiful. arrow Attractive people are happy just looking at themselves in the mirror.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Hah.]

[Swordmaster: Actually, happiness doesn’t depend solely on appearance.]

After that, I gave some honey to DwarfPassingBy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I can give it to you, but are you planning to use it to make liquor too?]

[DwarfPassingBy: It’s been a long time since I made mead. attic Could you also give me the honeycomb?]

[DwarfPassingBy: No, no. audit I’ll eat it as a snack. agent I don’t know if it’s rock honey or tree honey, but don’t you know how good it is for your body?]

[WildGrills: No, I have no idea.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

According to DwarfPassingBy’s explanation.

Those attached to rocks were called rock honey.

Honeycombs attached to trees were called tree honey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Then doesn’t that make the honey dangerous too?;;]

[DwarfPassingBy: The problem is that we don’t know which flowers it came from. acoustic Some of them might be poisonous.]

That meant the honeycomb itself also contained all the nutrients accumulated from the flowers of the Four Seasons Forest.

And honey was formed from the nutrients gathered from countless flowers.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: After hearing that, I think I’d better not.]

[DwarfPassingBy: At worst, you’ll get diarrhea, that’s all. meadow Besides, you said a deer gave it to you, right? action If anything happens, just go skin that bastard.]

[DwarfPassingBy: No, no. orbit I’ve heard the honey is fine. arrow The problem is the honeycomb. palette So, are you giving it to me?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Then I’d just have to go find the deer.

Of course, considering how strong it was, it’d probably be a very tough fight.

To be honest, DwarfPassingBy’s reasoning made a lot of sense.

If the deer had given me that honeycomb and it turned out to be dangerous.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I could prepare for any eventuality.

I had both elixirs and antidotes.

[WildGrills: Then I’ll try it myself first and let you all know how it goes afterward. anxiety I think that’s for the best.]

[WildGrills: Hey… Hahaha.]

Since he insisted so much, I ended up giving him a little more.

[DwarfPassingBy: Okay. altitude But could you give me a little more honey? voyage I need quite a bit to make mead…]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

After that, I handed out honey to the others.

After all, it barely made a difference.

Almost everyone loved it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

He wasn’t even connected to the Gallery.

There was only one exception.

I couldn’t give any to AllFather.

After giving away all the honey, I looked at the remaining honeycomb.

Lately he’d barely been active, so I assumed he was busy with personal matters.

‘What if I try it?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I’d already completely filled the barrel I’d bought.

It was still dripping.

After carefully cutting the honeycomb open to extract the honey.

I had nowhere else to store any more.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I hope there aren’t any insects…’

It was completely clean.

I inspected it over and over again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I never imagined I’d end up eating an entire honeycomb someday.

Then I cut the honeycomb into smaller pieces.

Afterward, I handed out a few pieces to Sloth and the other animals.

Not a single insect.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“Nom, nom, nom!”

Then so could I.

“Is it good?”

If they could eat it without any problems.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Even Sloth, at his usual pace, slowly chewed through his piece.

They happily ate it.

“Nom, nom!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

That probably meant.

But he didn’t show the slightest hesitation toward the honeycomb.

It wasn’t poisonous.

Normally, he avoided anything that seemed suspicious.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“Nom… Mmm… Huh?”

The moment I took the first bite, my eyes widened.

I picked up a piece that was still dripping with honey and stared at it for a moment before putting it into my mouth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

What I hadn’t expected was for the honeycomb itself to be delicious too.

I already knew the honey was delicious.

Its texture was also very interesting.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The slight bitterness perfectly balanced the honey’s intense sweetness, creating a magnificent flavor.

‘It tastes like some kind of cookie.’

It was like chewing a very soft cookie.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Approved.

Though I still couldn’t let my guard down.

With this kind of thing, symptoms usually appeared over time.

As for the taste.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I bought another container to store all the pieces I’d cut. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

‘I’d better buy another barrel to store the honeycomb.’

I hoped absolutely nothing would happen.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I might even need more later.

Those containers turned out to be surprisingly useful.

Just like the barrel for the honey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Since the ceremony would be held the following day.

While licking the honey left on my fingers, I entered the Gallery.

‘The Succession Ceremony is tomorrow, wasn’t it?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

But even so.

I felt a little envious.

They weren’t very useful to me.

Most of the posts were about it.

I’d already been living in the Four Seasons Forest for almost a month.

‘I want to see other people too.’

I had seen people.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Sometimes I even thought that had been my last chance.

Not even the Holy Knight riding that giraffe on the other side of the river had ever appeared again.

But I had never actually gotten to know any of them.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I had gone back to the river several times to check.

‘According to everyone, she was incredibly strong, though I wouldn’t know.’

But that grassland never appeared again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t help thinking the same thing.

Instead, it was always replaced by a completely different hellish landscape.

Every time I saw it but.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“Kyuu!”

How lucky I had been to end up here.

“Haa!”

“Haa!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

I wasn’t exactly sure what they were doing, but alongside Lackey, who was still training, Wonmo was copying his movements with his arms and legs.

“Kyuu!”

While I was thinking about that, I heard the sounds of Lackey and Wonmo training.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Even so, watching him wave those tiny little arms around was enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s still a child. galaxy He’s like a baby copying everything the members of his family do.’

Perhaps because he’d been a bear since birth, he could barely stay upright on his two short legs.

Up until now, Wonmo’s life had consisted of nothing but eating, sleeping, and fighting.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“Kyuuu…”

What would happen? apple He’d end up completely exhausted and fall asleep early.

“Are you tired? atom Let’s give you a bath and then go to sleep.”

What would happen if he started imitating martial arts like he was doing now?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Afterward, I thoroughly dried his fur by the campfire and let him sleep soundly.

Perhaps because he’d had such a productive day, he kept nodding off, making it quite an ordeal to bathe him.

With quite a bit of effort, I managed to bathe Wonmo, who came wobbling over with his eyes half-closed from sleepiness.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Even according to the Gallery’s schedule, it was bedtime.

‘I should get ready for bed too.’

It was already pretty late.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

He seemed to have gotten used to sleeping outdoors, because he left without a single complaint.

I felt a little sorry seeing him sleep out in the open, but I decided to leave it for later.

I applied insect repellent to Lackey and sent him outside.

‘Maybe I should at least build him a shelter?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

After all, he’d been living like that long before he met me.

‘So far, I haven’t noticed any strange symptoms.’

As long as insects didn’t bite him, he should be fine. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Quite some time had passed since I ate the honeycomb, and I didn’t feel any side effects.

It felt like my body was overflowing with energy.

In fact.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The only thing I’d ever done for him was give him a campfire during the winter.

Maybe it was because of the nutrients from the flowers that DwarfPassingBy had mentioned.

I still couldn’t understand the deer’s intentions in giving me something so valuable.

‘Still, why did that deer give me the honeycomb?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

‘If it really was because of that…’

Or maybe I can ask the raccoon family to deliver the fire for me.

When winter comes again, I’ll give him another one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Anyway, I planned to return to the arena tomorrow.

There was absolutely no downside to becoming friends with him.

The deer was incredibly strong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Maybe I’d be able to talk to him then.

Thinking about that, I closed my eyes.

‘I should also have Lackey participate.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The moment symbolizing the changing of generations and the birth of a new sun for the Empire was approaching.

Hoping I’d be able to meet another person as soon as possible.

***

It was the Succession Ceremony.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Every possible measure was taken to prevent even the slightest mistake during the event.

Because of that, the Messiah Empire, especially the capital, had no choice but to immerse itself in preparations for the ceremony.

The symbolic day when Arnold would ascend the throne as Emperor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The nobility and the commoners each had their own reasons as well.

The nobles sought to expand their networks by taking advantage of the occasion, while the commoners hoped to earn money and obtain all kinds of benefits.

Of course, it wasn’t just the organizers who were busy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

After all, the Succession Ceremony was practically one grand festival.

“Listen, what exactly was that honey you ate yesterday? album Your skin has completely changed.”

And among those attending that festival were some truly important figures.

“Couldn’t it just be because of the food Mom made?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Not only did she look elegant in it.

It was Ash, the Swordmaster who was always ranked among the strongest on the continent.

Her mother couldn’t stop praising her as she admired Ash in her immaculate uniform.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

What stood out the most was her skin.

“It’s not that dramatic. arena It just improved my skin.”

“Just your skin? altitude Look at your hands! autumn They used to look like a turtle’s shell, and overnight they’ve become flawless.”

“Oh, come on. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. accent A girl who lives on sweets… Could it be that honey has some extraordinary effect?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

However, even after undergoing her physical transformation, there had always been one part of her body that never improved.

Thanks to her cultivation level, she’d always maintained beauty comparable to someone in her early twenties.

Just as her mother had said, Ash’s skin had changed remarkably in only a single day.

Her hands.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

And since Ash was a martial artist, no matter how carefully she took care of them, there was no way to keep them pristine.

Moreover, she’d reached that physical transformation at a very young age thanks to her innate talent.

Hands were one of the most important parts of human civilization, and also the ones that suffered the most.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Now they truly deserved to be called delicate and elegant hands.

From then on, she’d abused her hands for years until they became as rough as a turtle’s shell.

After hearing her mother, Ash looked down at her hands.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Hands could always be hidden with gloves, and calluses were the mark of a true warrior.

‘To be honest, I don’t like it very much.’

Only one day had passed since she’d eaten the honey Grills had given her, and her skin had improved to that extent.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The first time she picked up a sword and began swinging it, she’d ended up with her palms completely torn apart.

But if she said that outright, her mother would give her one of her terrifying smacks on the back.

In fact, having calluses made wielding a sword more comfortable.

So she decided to tell a small lie.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Ash wasn’t the only one who had tasted the honey.

“Hohoho. apron You’re right.”

“But you look much better too, Mom.”

She had also given some to her mother.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I never imagined the effect would be this great…’

Seen from a distance, anyone might mistake them for sisters.

Thanks to that, her mother had regained skin comparable to that of someone much younger.

What’s more, even her wrinkles had softened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Although she appeared calm on the outside, Ash was completely shaken inside.

It working on her made sense.

The honey was simply too extraordinary.

But her mother was different.

After all, she’d reached an exceptional cultivation level.

She had been born a commoner and had endured countless hardships. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Or at least it had until now.

That was why her appearance had matched her age.

‘Thank goodness Mom doesn’t use the Gallery.’

She had only obtained her noble title because of Ash.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

With a relaxed smile, Ash continued walking.

If she did, Ash probably never would have given her that honey.

Even so, seeing her mother so happy brought her tremendous peace of mind.

It had been a very long time since she’d truly felt that she’d repaid her mother for everything she’d done for her.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

“It looks like they’re attending the Succession Ceremony too.”

It was while she was heading toward the ceremony venue that those voices reached her ears.

“Hey, look over there.”

“My goodness! matrix Isn’t that the Mercedes Ducal Family?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

When she did, she saw several people stepping down from a magnificently decorated carriage.

But this time they were talking about someone else.

Since Ash was such a famous figure, she was already used to hearing people whisper about her.

So she turned her head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Well, considering it was the Succession Ceremony, it wasn’t strange for a ducal family to be present.

‘The Mercedes Ducal Family? acid So they’re attending too.’

The number of people.

However, something else stood out even more.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Stepping out of the carriage weren’t just Duke and Duchess Mercedes.

“Huh? airport That… that young lady…”

Two young women also descended.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Despite the cold expression on her face, she couldn’t hide her extraordinary beauty.

“The young lady of the Mercedes Family? acquire Didn’t they say she had an incurable illness?”

A beauty that resembled snow falling from the sky.

“She’s… beautiful…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Ash raised an eyebrow.

‘Wasn’t she supposed to have an incurable illness? acoustic Did she recover?’

Although she usually kept herself shut away at home, she knew enough about what was happening in the world.

Behind her stepped down another young woman with brown hair and a plain appearance.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Selena.

Besides, since she frequented the Gallery, she always ended up hearing all kinds of rumors.

The young lady of the Mercedes Family.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

The moment Ash saw Selena’s skin, she immediately lowered her gaze to her own hands.

For her to appear in public was extremely unusual.

‘She doesn’t look sick at all. abandon And her skin… Huh?’

Normally, she remained secluded because of her incurable illness.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, Selena also noticed Ash and turned her gaze toward her.

“…?”

And Selena’s skin seemed to emit that exact same glow.

Her skin glowed with a faint radiance thanks to the honey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Selena tilted her head slightly.

But what truly caught Selena’s attention was Ash’s skin.

Ash possessed beauty comparable to her own, making it difficult not to notice her.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

Just like Ash, Selena shifted her gaze between her own skin and Ash’s.

‘I have a feeling that…’

’…What is this?’

’…Huh?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 180: Ceremony of Succession (1) by Indra Translations.

A strange and inexplicable atmosphere began to form between the two of them.
