Chapter 257: Luck (3)

Just as Cain had said, my body gave off far too much aura, so there was a very good chance they’d notice me right away. antique Besides, our relationship with them wasn’t exactly good.

Although it was a shame to lose the ambergris, there was nothing I could do about it. matrix It was best to avoid any contact with the gorilla troop.

Even if he didn’t have a problem with it, there could still be gorillas who simply didn’t like having him around.

At least it was reassuring that Lackey had almost given up on his desire for revenge, though you could never be sure.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? harbor Didn’t I tell you about them?”

After all, even the troop’s chief had been forced to drive him out because of the overwhelming opposition from the others.

[There’s something I don’t understand. antenna Just how strong can those gorillas be?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[Ludwig says he only knows where their territory is.]

“#%%^^@.”

Now that I thought about it, I’d never properly told them the whole story.

[Not me. voyage Ludwig, do you know?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I figured it was about time I told them everything that had happened with the gorilla troop.

While I was at it, I could also talk to Ludwig about the Blood Cult.

I’d only warned them to be careful because that area was full of gorillas.

‘It’s stranger that I haven’t told them until now.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Sometimes I completely forgot that.

I was the only one who knew what was happening outside.

Habits were scary.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I began explaining everything that had happened with the gorilla troop.

“So, in short, this is what happened…”

From now on, I’d better tell them about any important news.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Although Ludwig could more or less understand me when I spoke briefly, explaining the whole situation inevitably made the conversation much longer.

[I thought that was the only gorilla capable of speaking.]

“Why did you think Lackey was the only one?”

Since it was difficult to summarize, Cain had to translate parts of the conversation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig nodded as if he agreed.

Exchanging information really was important.

[Isn’t he a rather unusual mutant? absorb I assumed that was exactly why he was much smarter than the others.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ludwig, do you know about the Blood Cult?”

I scratched my head in embarrassment before continuing.

“Yes. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com matrix A group of murderers. galaxy They’re famous.”

They really must have been famous if even people in Eldorado had heard of them.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Although, because of the Immortal King incident, they had barely been able to intervene.

And not just through rumors from the Gallery.

They were such a dangerous organization that even the Holy Kingdom kept them under surveillance.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

From the Zhongyuan Imperial Family’s perspective, it was as if a thorn in their side had destroyed itself.

‘Well, they shook an entire nation.’

If that hadn’t happened, the previous Hero would’ve personally gone to wipe them out.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“…Successors? silence Gorillas?”

“In any case, that gorilla troop is connected to the Blood Cult. adapt You could say they’re its successors.”

And over time, the Demonic Cult began expanding its influence.

The problem was that, as a consequence, the overall level of martial artists declined.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yeah.”

Ludwig was completely speechless.

“…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“…I understand why they’re strong.”

At that moment, Lackey was calmly scratching his butt.

Then he turned his head to look at Lackey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Understanding it was one thing.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

Yeah.

Accepting it was another entirely.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[He says they’re idiots.]

“I came to the same conclusion.”

“#$$$%?”

“And the Blood Cult entered the Forest of the Four Seasons to take the troop’s chief as their successor.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

And it was a perfectly normal reaction.

What the Blood Cult had done completely defied all logic.

Ludwig almost never cursed, but this time I completely understood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“In any case, it’s best to avoid any contact with the gorilla troop. timber They probably feel the same way.”

“I don’t know.”

[What will you do if some of the Blood Cult remnants end up with them?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Since the gorillas fiercely protected their territory, the most likely outcome was that they’d beat them senseless and throw them out.

What if, by pure chance, they were as lucky as I had been and managed to become part of the troop?

That worried me a little.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

‘They say that when you’re abroad, you get excited to meet someone who speaks your language. anxiety Here, that feeling must be even stronger.’

The gorillas understood the concept of language, so the situation could change.

But that only applied to outsiders—except for those from Zhongyuan.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Or maybe they’d do something stupid because they couldn’t abandon their old habits and end up getting beaten half to death.

Either way, if any of those survivors ended up with the gorilla troop, things would get complicated.

“Let’s eat lunch first. beacon Then we’ll think about what to do.”

Even the troop’s chief might feel some sympathy toward them.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Since it was already lunchtime, we headed up to the river to fish.

Though this time, something was different.

Plip, plip, plip.

It was the same routine as always.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

When I reached the river, I saw several fish freely swimming through the air.

There were several of them.

And it wasn’t just one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Oh…”

As I stared at the scene in amazement, Ludwig spoke to me.

“Even the fish are flying.”

“…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Beyond that lay the gorillas’ territory.

Had something happened there?

Or perhaps the ambergris had fallen into the river.

The moment I heard his words, I immediately became alert and looked upstream.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

We first gathered the fish caught in the net and left the ones still flying alone. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

I was far too lazy to go get the crossbow, and what we’d already caught was more than enough.

‘I wonder how long this effect will last…’

That seemed like the most likely explanation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Shaaaaaa?!”

As long as our shelter remained safe, it didn’t matter.

“Huh?!”

That’s what I thought.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

It was nearly as large as a bull, and the force of its charge was terrifying.

Before a flying shark attacked the shelter.

While we were calmly cooking the fish, a massive shark came hurtling straight toward us.

“Uooooh!”

“Peeeep!”

“Kyuuu!”

Of course.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Whether it was a shark or whatever, if you flipped over someone’s dining table, you had to face the consequences.

The animals beat it so badly for knocking over the food that they brought it down in a matter of seconds.

In the end, the shark writhed a couple of times before going completely still.

It was dead.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hmm…”

[Are you going to butcher this one too?]

I also took the opportunity to ask HeavenlyDemon if she liked shark fin.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

The food had practically delivered itself, but honestly, I wasn’t convinced.

Should I butcher it or not?

I looked at the enormous shark, as large as a bull, and thought it over.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

So I searched the Gallery to see what it tasted like.

‘What does shark fin taste like?’

Surprisingly, shark fin wasn’t a very well-known dish.

Cutting it up would be a hassle, but leaving it there wasn’t a good idea either.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

It was more of a luxury reserved for the wealthy people of Zhongyuan.

From the perspective of medicinal herbs, it wasn’t particularly valuable, and as for the taste, aside from the texture, it was practically flavorless.

[HeavenlyDemon: You mean Fish Fin? acquire I understand it’s quite a luxurious dish.]

[WildGrills: HeavenlyDemon. palette Do you like shark fin?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Understood.]

Perhaps because she still blamed herself for letting some survivors escape, HeavenlyDemon declined the shark.

[WildGrills: (Photo of the beaten-up shark) I’m asking because I just caught a shark. arcade Would you like it?]

[HeavenlyDemon: I’ll decline. arch I’ve already caused this humble one enough trouble. album I would feel guilty accepting it.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I’d already given him dinosaur hide and a dinosaur egg last time, but it still didn’t feel like enough.

‘I’d better give it to SunForEver. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’

The dwarf and SunForEver.

That only left me with two people.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Especially because of the shield, which was worth a fortune.

Compared to everything SunForEver had done for me, I still felt indebted to him.

With a bit of luck, maybe I’d even get something in return.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: SunForEver. abandon I’d like to give you a gift. arctic Is that alright?]

[WildGrills: (Photo of the shark) This.]

[SunForEver: Unless my eyes are deceiving me, that looks like a shark.]

[SunForEver: What kind of gift?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[SunForEver: Last time it was a sharkman, and now it’s a flying shark? wizard Stranger things keep happening.]

Now that he mentioned it.

[WildGrills: We were having lunch when this bastard suddenly attacked us.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: With all the money you have, you’ve never eaten shark fin?]

SunForEver thanked me for the gift and mentioned that it would be the first time in his life he’d ever eaten shark fin.

The sharkman had probably already become an excellent test subject for AllFather.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: How old are you?]

[SunForEver: I’m still young.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

For an elf, he was definitely still quite young.

[SunForEver: Forty-two.]

It was only proper to treat him respectfully.

Even so, he was older than me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: What is it?]

We chatted for a while longer before ending the conversation. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

[SunForEver: Ah, right. atlas I’ll give you something too.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[SunForEver: You’ll know when you receive it. antenna It’ll be very useful to you.]

As soon as the conversation ended, I checked the object that had appeared in my hands.

What kind of item was he giving me to say something like that?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

It was exactly what I needed.

He was right.

The moment I saw what it was, I couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Oh!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Come to think of it, Lackey already had the glasses I’d given him, so it made sense that telescopes or binoculars also existed.

“Binoculars?”

A tool for easily observing distant objects.

I examined them from every angle.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Without thinking, I turned one of the adjustment wheels.

Click!

Then I raised them to my eyes.

Their design perfectly matched the era.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

It was an impressive feature.

They could adjust the magnification.

And then I discovered an incredible feature.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

The mere fact that they had adjustable zoom implied an extraordinary level of technology.

“…?”

“Mr. avalanche Ludwig.”

“You’ve got a nose hair sticking out.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I could even see something like that from this far away.

‘These are really good.’

While Ludwig went to find a mirror to fix it, I continued looking around.

“…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I’d only wanted to get rid of the shark, but SunForEver had given me something worth far more.

Especially when combined with the dinosaur-hide cloak.

They would be incredibly useful during explorations.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Now I feel even more indebted.’

I carefully put the binoculars away so they wouldn’t get damaged.

I’ll have to give him more gifts in the future.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Honestly, I wanted to head out exploring immediately.

‘At the very least, let’s plant the World Tree sapling first.’

But I’d have to wait.

Besides, I still needed to keep practicing controlling the aura inside my body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Until then, training was the only way to survive.

‘I don’t really have much else to do…’

With Ludwig teaching me, it shouldn’t take too long.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

The problem was that training only lasted an hour or two.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

It was inevitable that I’d have time left over.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

According to Ludwig, training mindlessly for hours only reduced efficiency.

Even if we had plenty of time, our ultimate goal was still survival.

In a situation like ours, efficiency was the most important thing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

‘How about making a pickaxe?’

Even checking the Gallery only took about ten minutes.

The rest of the day was free.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Working as a blacksmith would also help me build strength.

With that in mind, I sent the dwarf a message.

[WildGrills: Hey. alien Don’t tell me you’re drinking again.]

That wasn’t a bad idea.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: First, get yourself an apron. timber I’d lend you mine, but it won’t fit.]

[DwarfPassingBy: Nah. armor I’m working. atlas What’s up?]

[WildGrills: That’s a relief. arch I want to start learning blacksmithing. apron Could you give me some advice?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

It was excellent advice. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

After that, the dwarf began listing everything I’d need.

I bought a suitable apron through the Gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I’d have to get one separately.

The only problem was the anvil.

Tongs, a forge, an anvil, an oil barrel, and several other tools.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I’d have to build it myself.

[WildGrills: Yeah.]

[DwarfPassingBy: Let me know when you’ve got everything ready. afford You still have that Mithrilcon ingot, right?]

And the forge couldn’t just be some makeshift one either.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: Heat it up first, then start hammering it. arctic I’ll give you an anvil.]

In other words, what mattered was controlling my strength.

[WildGrills: I just have to hit it with the hammer?]

[DwarfPassingBy: As you hammer it, pay attention to how much the metal flattens. agent It doesn’t matter whether you use mana or not. apron Just don’t blow it up.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

There was no need to melt it completely.

I set up the anvil the dwarf had given me and placed the Mithrilcon ingot into the forge.

Got it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Just heat it up.

‘He said I just need to use the right amount of force, didn’t he?’

Then I pulled the red-hot ingot out with the tongs and placed it on the anvil.

According to him, it only needed to reach a color similar to ripe wheat.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

I brought it down with all my strength.

Just to be safe, I reinforced my body with mana and raised the hammer.

Clang!!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

The Mithrilcon ingot exploded.

Booom!!!

[DwarfPassingBy: Ah, right. silence I forgot to tell you the mana in the ingot can clash with yours and make it explode.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Safety regulations are always written in blood.]

[WildGrills: (Photo of the shelter left in shambles by the explosion) Yeah. meadow Thanks a lot.]

[DwarfPassingBy: I was too late. acoustic I told you to hit it more gently.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 257: Luck (3) by Indra Translations.

Faced with such an irrefutable argument, I had nothing left to say.

[DwarfPassingBy: That’s not much different from experimenting on yourself. zenith Hahaha.]
