WildGrills

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) You’re already awake. crystal What are you planning to do today?

Title) A vigorous and energetic morning!

Today marks the beginning of day 9!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) If you find more, could you give me some? echo Having even one doesn’t sound bad.

ㄴWildGrills) First, I’m going back to yesterday’s cave. shadow I want to confirm whether the whole cave is filled with orichalcum.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Thank you. avalanche Since we’ll be trading, I’ll give you some fasting pills I prepared beforehand.

ㄴWildGrills) If it’s a request from HeavenlyDemon, of course. legend I’ll give you a big one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) But you could get a job if you wanted to, right?

ㄴWildGrills) Thank you.

ㄴSwordMaster) You really do stay busy every day. avalanche I think you’re even busier than me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴwhile some people work until their bones break, others… sigh

ㄴSwordMaster) Yeah, but I don’t need to haha

ㄴso jealous, unemployed millionaire

ㄴthat guy literally beat life

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) Your timing is incredible;; what time did you start getting drunk yesterday?

ㄴhe definitely was born noble with a golden spoon lmao

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) Ah, right. apron Another day has passed. armor What you gave me really was orichalcum.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

It was a fish that contained an internal core.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) From lunch until night. sphere But hey, what was in that fish? crystal When I drank alcohol with it, my whole body started burning;; I slept the entire day because of it.

Ah, right.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

HeavenlyDemon explained that fish with internal cores were spiritual creatures and spiritual medicines.

ㄴWildGrills) That happened to me too, but after sleeping a whole day it went away. adopt Does it still hurt?

So it wasn’t strange for it to cause body heat.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) Other than feeling full of energy, I’m fine. agent I think I’ll return to the mines for the first time in a while.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Dwarves are the race of alcohol and mines.

The image of him being a drunk was so strong that I forgot.

Now that I think about it, this guy really is a dwarf.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Drinking after mining work was tradition.

That’s what I’d heard.

ㄴWildGrills) I could also use a pickaxe. action Any advice?

And those small bodies were made for working in mines.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) Just hearing that sounds exhausting.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) More than sensitive, it has absurdly high absorption. accent Seriously, never use mana.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) Don’t put mana into the pickaxe. acid There could be mana-sensitive minerals.

ㄴWildGrills) Is orichalcum also sensitive to mana?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴif the mine collapses you just die All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

ㄴmining is a shitty job haha, there’s a reason it’s one of the hardest jobs in the world

ㄴWildGrills) I’ll just pick up stones lying around instead.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴhe really is durable

ㄴwhen is this bastard gonna die lmao

ㄴsurprised this bastard still hasn’t died

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

That’s how my day began, accompanied by the sweet and poisonous support of users and lurkers.

The best way to start the morning was with a glass of cold water and the fresh forest air.

ㄴWildGrills) What’s wrong with these idiots?

ㄴI’m already tired of him staying alive~

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

And on top of that—

“……”

“Mooo.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Beautifully glowing blue antlers and completely white fur.

Eyes as clear as crystal water.

Finding myself face to face with a deer far larger than the barricade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Tap! silence Tap!

I silently stared at it and took a photo for the gallery.

Fortunately, the deer fled the moment our eyes met.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The Owlbear, the fish, the golden frogs, the saber-toothed tiger, the chickens, and now a deer.

‘…Did I shrink or something?’

It lightly jumped over the barricade and quickly disappeared into the forest despite its striking appearance.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

It’s scary.

Now I understood how Gulliver felt in the land of giants.

Really scary.

Everything was absurdly huge.

Title) Does anyone know what this deer is?

WildGrills

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

(photo of a white deer with blue antlers)

I ran into this right after leaving the cave. audit Does anyone know what it is?

ㄴDemonPrincess) Yesss. absorb Just like my eyes.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) What a beautiful deer. matrix Its blue antlers are fascinating.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴDemonPrincess) sorry!!!

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Hmph.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) I’ll hit you with a mace.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴSwordMaster) the nerve of her;;

ㄴSwordMaster) Isn’t that abuse of power?

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) It is completely fair regulation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) You didn’t know? canvas Where exactly did you live?

ㄴStarlightPrincess) I think I saw that deer in a book before. arena If I remember correctly, it’s a spirit deer.

ㄴWildGrills) Spirit? anxiety Spirits exist too?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Better to keep saying I’m from another world.

Maybe I should’ve said I grew up in some remote village.

ㄴWildGrills) I told you I come from another world…

But then they’d ask how I use the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) Do you remember the guardian you met at the beginning?

ㄴWildGrills) The huge stone giant?

ㄴStarlightPrincess) Think of spirits as living mana. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. sphere Mana that gained its own will.

ㄴWildGrills) That sounds really abstract.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The rock I leaned my back against started moving.

And it was gigantic.

I still remembered it perfectly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) And that deer?

ㄴStarlightPrincess) It’s not certain, but we believe natural guardians possess spirits.

If it had stepped on me, I would’ve died instantly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) A kick would probably hurt more.

ㄴWildGrills) Doesn’t it shoot lightning from its antlers?

ㄴStarlightPrincess) It’s called a spirit deer because it resembles a spirit. arrow Spirits cannot directly influence living beings. shadow In the end, they are still mana.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) ;;;

ㄴStarlightPrincess) Ignore those idiots.

ㄴmore than hurt, it’d crush your bones

ㄴGrills, you should let it kick you once. action You’ve got a shield and everything

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

It was a very fantasy-like world, but for me it was dark fantasy.

A place where one mistake means death.

Since the forest is saturated with mana, all kinds of creatures appear.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

‘First I should worry about staying alive.’

I wanted to check the traps.

I shook my head and headed toward the river.

Will I really be able to leave this place alive?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Splash! zenith Splash!

And they were huge.

Exactly two fish had been caught.

I happily collected the traps.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

While collecting the traps, I heard a noise in the bushes.

Now this is easy living.

Rustle—

“Hm?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I immediately went on guard.

Very close.

I drew my sword and shield while staring intently in the direction of the sound.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Even so, I didn’t lower my guard while finishing up with the traps.

“……”

The sound didn’t happen again.

Maybe it was just my imagination.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

A lot of animals would come to drink water.

One small mistake could cost me my life.

‘Near the river, you always have to stay alert.’

I had killed quite a few of them.

Though there seemed to be fewer here because of the golden frogs.

Now I wasn’t so sure anymore.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I definitely need to keep the Sloth with me at all times.’

Fortunately, nothing appeared.

Thinking that, I prepared breakfast.

I returned to the cave while staying alert the entire way.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, I removed the internal core first.

I gave him one of the fish.

‘…I think he grew.’

Right then, Wonmo woke up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I watched Wonmo while he devoured the fish.

Before, it fit perfectly.

Now it was completely stretched out.

Right now, he was wearing the uniform DemonPrincess gave him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Or both.

Since he’s still growing, I didn’t think much of it.

‘The bigger he gets, the better.’

Either he got fatter or he grew.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Maybe someday he’ll be bigger than me and help me a lot.

Though who knows when that day will come.

So this is fine.

People have always said size matters.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

At times like this, people need hope.

Even if it’s an empty hope, it doesn’t matter.

‘Maybe I’ll leave the Four Seasons Forest before then.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Now I’ll use the cultivation method after taking the medicine AllFather gave me.’

I continued using the cultivation method constantly. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

I felt satisfied.

I finished eating and cleaned everything up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Most of all, I focused on the breathing technique.

‘Later I should ask how to increase lung capacity even more.’

Training to increase lung capacity overall.

That was the most effective thing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Normally, after eating, he would immediately fall asleep.

Now only one thing remained—go to the orichalcum cave and collect some pieces.

‘Wonmo…’

I already knew the path by heart, so there was no way I could get lost.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

But this time was different.

“Wonmo. amber You can’t go to strange places, understood?”

He looked at me with those characteristic empty eyes.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of taking a nap.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

“Kyu?”

“Kyu?”

“Even if you see something delicious, you must not go.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Just like the Sloth, he strangely understood my words, so he would probably follow me properly.

Every time I spoke, Wonmo tilted his head while making adorable sounds.

“It’s dangerous.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

We had already finished breakfast, so I started preparing our things.

As always, the equipment consisted of a sword, shield, and the subspace bag AllFather gave me yesterday.

But I didn’t store fragile things like elixirs.

Inside, I carried the crossbow and various tools.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

That’s why I put the emergency elixirs and Bigu pills in another pouch.

The bag ignored space, not weight.

As strange as it was, the objects inside could still hit each other and get damaged.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

‘This should be enough.’

On the right, the subspace bag with the crossbow and tools.

On the left side of my waist, the pouch with food and elixirs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

It was a bit heavy, but manageable.

Once I finished preparing, I put the Sloth on my back.

The crossbow was extremely useful for someone like me who had no ranged attacks.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

He looked adorable.

Wonmo was also wearing the stretched uniform and hopping around excitedly so we would leave quickly.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go. anchor But don’t wander off, understood?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Unlike the escape incident, this time the three of us—or rather, one human and two creatures—moved together.

“Kyuu!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I planned to explore it more thoroughly.

‘Yesterday there wasn’t anything dangerous inside.’

Our destination was the orichalcum cave.

And besides, I had the item KingLeor gave me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

And I had elixirs just in case.

Besides, even if I did nothing, Wonmo would probably take care of everything anyway.

Remembering yesterday’s route, I headed toward the cave.

There were bats and snakes, but they weren’t real threats.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I still didn’t understand why the hell there were chickens in the forest.

But I needed to be careful.

‘I hope I don’t run into the chickens and chicks again.’

The marks I left were still there, so finding it was easy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Even the chicks were almost my size.

“Sniff sniff.”

I needed to know the extent of their territory if I wanted to move around safely.

And the hen was much larger than me. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Wonmo approached a strange plant and started sniffing it.

It practically screamed “I’m poisonous.”

It was a yellow flower that glowed under the light.

“Wonmo. alert Don’t touch that.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

It would be better to ask AllFather or StarlightPrincess later.

There was no need to take risks now.

I scolded Wonmo and took a photo for the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

— Kokekokooo!

Looks like we had entered their territory.

“Kyuu!”

The powerful cry of a chicken echoed not too far away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

There was nothing especially concerning.

The moment he heard the sound, Wonmo ran toward me in terror.

I patted his head to calm him down and observed the surroundings.

He was definitely traumatized by that chick chase.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Black feathers that probably belonged to the hen.

They were enormous.

I picked one up and stored it in the subspace bag.

‘There are feathers here.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

We managed to reach the cave without facing any danger.

As soon as I arrived, I took something out of the normal bag.

“We’re here.”

It might be useful later.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

He said all I had to do was tap it several times to activate it.

The crystal sphere engraved with Light magic that KingLeor gave me.

Tap tap—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The sphere began emitting a bright light, and then that light floated into the air.

The sphere remained in my hand, but the light stayed suspended above my head.

Just as he explained, something strange happened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I stared in amazement at the floating light.

“Wooow!”

It was a fascinating sight.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Much brighter than a torch. alert Excellent.’

They said it lasted a full hour, so exploring would be easy.

As if I had become a child again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Soon after, we reached the slope leading down into the orichalcum cave.

Wonmo also followed behind me, hopping around.

Excited, I entered the cave.

With this, I wouldn’t have trouble exploring dark places.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The moment I got down, I felt something strange.

“Hm?”

The rope I installed yesterday was still there, so we carefully descended.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

As if the arrangement of the rocks had changed slightly.

‘Am I imagining things?’

But without photos to compare, it was hard to be sure.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I tilted my head while looking around.

The cave was still glowing.

Since I had light now, I took photos and uploaded them to the gallery.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) What a beautiful cave. antique A cave filled with divine metal.

ㄴWildGrills) Not sure. adjust Maybe collect some stones and explore a bit. anxiety There doesn’t seem to be anything dangerous.

ㄴSwordMaster) It truly is beautiful. apron So what will you do now?

What do you think? meadow The glowing stuff really is orichalcum, right?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Monsters.

ㄴSwordMaster) Even so, be careful. amateur Natural caves usually contain many monsters.

After reading that, I looked around.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Aside from bats and small animals, I couldn’t see anything alive.

Even so, I had to stay alert.

And from what I could see, the cave seemed to end here.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) Ahhh, now I really want to go there and mine some ore haha

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) After I finish drinking.

ㄴWildGrills) So you’re not coming, you damn bastard.

ㄴWildGrills) Want to come?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴDwarfPassingBy) Do you think I’m crazy enough to go there? harbor Haha

ㄴStarlightPrincess) Perhaps it was an area with enormous tectonic changes. action Orichalcum appears where mana is abundant.

ㄴAllFather) That’s true, but there is definitely something more. antique Something that generates extreme mana.

ㄴAllFather) How interesting. afford An entire cave formed from orichalcum—what kind of place is the Four Seasons Forest?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴAllFather) Perhaps. artist More exploration will be necessary.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) That makes sense. beacon If even space is distorted, perhaps it’s something superior to the World Tree.

ㄴWildGrills) Am I the only one who understands none of this?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

ㄴLetsPlantTrees) There is only one World Tree in this world. aspect The World Tree of Alvenheim.

ㄴah haha no need to understand

ㄴno idea lol

ㄴsame here

ㄴa race living thanks to the World Tree~

ㄴwe already know, arrogant elf

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

World Tree or not, what mattered was exploring.

ㄴahhh damn it, that really is irritating haha

ㄴsince it’s true we can’t say anything haha

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I walked through the cave with Wonmo.

I wasn’t an academic.

What the hell happened for an entire cave of orichalcum to exist?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

All I could think was—

I wasn’t even born in this world.

‘They said orichalcum has excellent mana absorption, right?’

‘How interesting…’ Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

I placed my hand on the ground and began circulating mana within my body.

But it didn’t rise like a mirage.

Soon after, the mana flowed out through my hand.

Flash!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

Instead, the orichalcum glowed far brighter than before, as if it had truly absorbed the mana.

Rumble—

Just as I pursed my lips in fascination—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The instant I heard it, I flinched and quickly turned around.

Grrrrrk—

Behind me, I heard the sound of rocks grinding together.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The rock made of orichalcum.

The rock was moving.

“W-wha… huh?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

And then, the mass of orichalcum completely rose up, taking on a humanoid shape.

Seeing that scene, I slowly stepped backward.

The enormous mineral mass began moving as if it were “standing up,” and eventually rose firmly onto two legs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 68: Guardian (1) by Indra Translations.

The “Guardian” appeared before me.

Hummmm—
