Volume 3 Kuroshio 10 Boulder Dam

- Is the food in Stormwind Prison to your liking?

……

- Are you hungry now?

……

- What do you most want to eat right now? Spicy? Sweet? Sour or salty?

……

-Hum...... What's the best thing you've ever eaten?

……

-Well...... Turtle bisque...... Gee.

- When you're hungry, the first thing you'll think of isn't turtle soup.

……

- When you're out there, hopefully you'll do something serious and you'll have something better than turtle chowder.

……

- I didn't have any idea at the time, I couldn't remember the smell of the barbecue, I couldn't remember the taste of the roasted tart, and I couldn't remember whether the ham and cheese omelet was sweet and sour or salty.

-I just want to eat, no matter what I have in front of me, as long as I can eat or seem to be able to eat.

……

- Your mind is so amazing, you tell me how to fish at this time? What to catch?

- I saw the kind of ugly creatures I had seen in the Badlands. Those ugly monsters are on this island!

- I don't care why they are here or how they survive. I just want to find something to eat quickly.

……

- That's right, the worst thing in the world is their meat.

……

-I felt that it was not meat at all, and even meat was the worst meat of all the meat I had ever eaten.

……

- What else do I care about that? In my eyes, they are no different from the beasts of the wilderness.

……

-I lurked in the grass and slowly approached them. In fact, if I pick up a fish or a snake at this time, even if it is a toad, I will not risk getting it.

- But no.

-After observing for a while, and after determining the least risky target, I made a decisive move, and the axe in my hand was basically rushing to take its fate. Although there was a muffled sound when the axe hit its head, it fell to the ground and died without attracting attention from its surroundings.

-I dragged him into the reeds, fearing that it was not dead and struck it twice on the head, and I don't know if this crhimpanzee-like and human-like half-human, half-human, half-beast black-haired guy can eat it.

-I felt that it could be eaten, so I cut off its head and dismantled it in eight pieces.

-Their muscle fibers are so thick that there is almost no fat to be seen, and the smell of their green liver makes me sick to my stomach. That taste is like ...... Ah, very fishy.

……

- You never eat offal, ha, still not hungry enough.

- I pulled out their stomachs to see what was inside......

- You probably can't imagine what's in there!

……

- Stones, gravel, grass, and some that seem to be fish, and some seeds that I don't know what they are.

……

-The stomach is also edible, and this thing is one of the less unpalatable things about this monster.

……

- And its brain. But it doesn't have a big brain, it's about the size of your fist.

……

- Kids, to survive in the wild, energy and calories are always preferred over whether it tastes good or not greasy.

……

- I simply broke it down and dragged it back, John was already awake. The guy was surprised to see me come back with the meat, but his face was already very swollen by this time.

……

- Roast their meat.

-The meat itself has a fishy smell, and the smell of earth is very strong, the smell is the same as when you lick a rusty shovel.

-If it weren't for the hunger, I think I'd definitely find something else to eat.

……

- He also eats, of course he asked what kind of meat it is. Just answered truthfully, and we both frowned and ate some. As a result, we both threw up after eating.

-The main thing is that after eating, there will be a foul smell in one mouth and a mouthful of iron fish.

- I don't think I vomited it all, we rested by the lake for a day, I tried to catch some fish in the lake, but it didn't work. So we had to bite the bullet and continue to eat this stuff.

……

-I can't move, but as long as this island can see the surrounding shore, the two of us will not continue to consume here, and once we leave this place, it is a question of whether we can survive.

……

-Those two monsters in the lake have reappeared, huh...... It has also been seen during the day.

-I recovered faster than him, his body was swollen all the time, but he didn't have a fever. I don't know what to do if he has a fever.

……

- Of course not, I'll go find something good to eat once I've regained some strength.

……

-Got it. Rats are much more delicious than their meat, and birds that shoot down can satisfy their hunger. But the rats here are not big, but they are much better.

……

-Hell knows how those monsters came to this place, but here I found out that there is magic.

- Isn't it surprised? It was completely unexpected, it was a miracle that such creatures were in such a place, and even more so that they could master magic.

-Of course I don't understand their language, but when they get together at night, several of them have clusters of electricity on them.

……

- The current is ...... Something like lightning.

……

- Isn't it amazing? This thing can actually master lightning.

……

- The world is truly wonderful...... Ha, you don't think that's when you're standing there, you're just thinking about what bad luck.

……

-We both spent five days or more on the island, I can't remember exactly, until John regained his strength.

……

-The most important thing I should do is to find a way to get food every day, instead of watching how these things poop, pee, and sleep. Their secrets are worthless compared to my survival.

……

- There are some trees on the island, but it is very dangerous to cut them down. We wanted to make a raft, but a few pieces of wood obviously couldn't bear the weight of both of us, and the traces left every day were dangerous.

……

-I blame you for thinking so, but I hope not to be discovered.

……

- There are some vines on the island, although they are not very strong, but being able to tie the wood together is a great success.

……

- That island is not as small as you think, and it is estimated to be several times larger than Stormwind.

……

-I'm not interested in this kind of expedition for later, or let someone else do it. I just want to get out of here now.

……

- Why don't you want me to be better?

-After we left the island on a raft, we did see the big monster that once surfaced.

- Afraid, how not to be afraid.

……

- Hmph, what's this? It's not a shame to admit your fears. A reckless man is an equal to a fool, and I happen to be a normal person.

-I believe there are people who dare to say that they are calm and fearless in my environment. But I don't know if it's an afterma.

……

-Hum...... Yes, you're right. I also believe that you are a person who has no sense of fear. Someone as bold as you really deserves to be a general.

……

- I didn't mean to mock you, Stephen.

- Like now, even if I say you're a piece of shit, what do you dare to do to me?

- Hmph, don't make a fuss, this guy will cry if he can't get off the stage.

……

- Of course, you have to paddle away, even if you are afraid. However, they had to wait for a while to dive underwater before they dared to paddle forward.

……

- More than a day, huh...... It's going to take more than a day. When the two of us finally saw the mountain in the distance, we were so excited that we wanted to shout uncontrollably.

- It was a nice feeling, and I still remember the joy I felt when I stepped ashore again. I hate places with a lot of water. Although I can swim.

……

- Drowning people often think they can swim.

- Coming to the shore, the two of us finally had a good meal.

……

- Rabbits, pheasants.

- For the first time, I felt that a rabbit or a pheasant was not enough to eat.

……

- How did you learn to lift the bar, boy.

-It's true that a rabbit and a pheasant are not that big, but after eating it, it feels like not eating it for the first time.

- After we got ashore, we didn't move fast at all, mainly looking for food, constantly looking for food. Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, boy, you better remember this sentence.

- After walking for a few days, we saw the end of the lake.

- End of the lake...... Ha, maybe this will be the most majestic building in the world you'll ever see!

……

- Yes, there is a building, huge, majestic, shocking building.

……

- A dam built by the dwarves.

……

-Dam...... A dam is a place where the water is stopped.

……

-Why...... How do I know why the dwarves are holding back the water! You're asking too much, boy! I'm not a big encyclopedia. You'll have to ask the dwarves about it yourself......

- What's in your head? Why else did the water stop......

- Uh, yes, why do you want to stop the water?

-Well......

- It's not important, it's not about me.

-When we got close to the dam, we found the trail of the mountain ranger, so we both got out of the way.

- Actually, I'd love to see what this dam looks like.

……

- Of course I went, I've only heard of this kind of landscape, and today it's close at hand, so it's a pity not to see it.

……

- I'll be careful, thank you for the reminder my dear little Ethan.

- The dam is not only tall, but also very long, several kilometers away.

-I feel that all the majestic buildings in this world are made by the hands of the dwarves, if not by their hands, then they must have been made by the gods.

- Have you ever seen a dwarf?

……

- They are said to have a surprisingly long lifespan, which may be the reason why they have been able to perform so many miracles.

- We snuck up the dam.

- At night, of course.

- However, when you stand on the dam, you can see far to the north.

- We went around the dam for a while, found a garrison fortress with dwarves and retreated.

……

- High, very high! Leaning on the dam and looking down it looks like you're standing on the clouds. At night, you can't see the bottom when you look down, it's so high.

- But we have to go around below.

……

- Of course, it is possible to take a detour. But...... Once you go around this road, you don't know where it goes.
