Dragon King's Harem Chapter 73. Whitevalley Village I

Hours had passed. The sky above our heads grew dimmer. The rustling sounds mixed with our Yegauns' hooves rang out as we pierced through the bushes. Since the forest was filled with tall trees, dense branches and leaves, it made the forest even darker. If I only relied on my normal eyesight, I would have trouble seeing my surroundings. 

Still, even though I could detect and monitor everything well, this darkness made Eir, Evelina and Jyne restless. Whereas we couldn't use our fire skills to light the way since it would lure the monsters around us.

'Just a little more.' According to the map, we should be almost out of the forest, we just needed to go straight. A few minutes later, the rustling sounds came from our right and left as my Dragon Vision caught some monsters chasing us. And they were the monsters I hated the most, at least in this kind of terrain, the Headless Black Deer. Yesterday I was able to defeat them easily because I used my Blazing Orbs. Since we were in the forest, I couldn't use that skill. Likewise, with Evelina, she couldn't use her Holy Beam for the same reason. As for Jyne, since the Fox Tribe had the thunder element Mana, she also couldn't attack them carelessly because the light from her thunder would do the same thing as my fire skill. And relying on Eir's Frost Bolt and my Mana Weapon was definitely not a good thing.

"Ignore them!" I ordered. I couldn't give my orders using gestures since it was too dark here. The only way I could think was we had to get out of this forest as soon as possible and defeat them outside. In an emergency, I would use my Telekinetic to push them away. I spurred my Yegaun, my eyes kept watching the monsters. Even if my level was above them, I still had to be careful. After all, in this world, everything not only depended on the level but also the skills and battle strategy.

Minutes passed, but the exit was still nowhere to be seen. While the monsters drew closer to us.

[Warning!]
[A Headless Black Deer has sucked your Mana for 5 Points]

"Tch!" I clicked my tongue and used My Telekinetic on the monsters.

[You have thrown a Headless Black Deer for 51 HP]
[You have thrown a Headless Black Deer for 58 HP]
[You have thrown a Headless Black Deer for 56 HP]
[You have thrown a Headless Black Deer for 53 HP]
[You have thrown a Headless Black Deer for 51 HP]

Although the damage wasn't that fatal, it was enough to throw them and keep them away from us. The crashing sound mixed with bumping and the loud rustling sound from the impact alarmed other monsters around us. Their attention was on us and they moved towards us because of it. This was also why I didn't want to use this if it was not in an emergency.

Luckily, I could see the light at the end of our path. As one by one our Yegauns came out of the dark forest, a different scene entered our vision. A field filled with short blue and purple grass with some rocks and thin snow. Since it was an open field, the wind that greeted our bodies was also colder than the forest. Quickly, I pulled my reins to the side, ordering my Yegaun to turn before pulling it to stop.
'Blazing Orb!' My fire orbs hovered around me. My eyes looked at the monsters that were almost out of the forest. Since we were out of the forest, I could kill them freely. All I needed to do was wait for the monsters to come out. Unfortunately, they stopped in their tracks before they turned around and left.

"Too bad..." said Eir, who was beside me in disappointment. Just like me, he was also ready with his Fire Bolt. On my other side, Evelina was ready with her Holy Beam and Jyne was ready with her ThunderBolt.

"Yeah," I said in the same tone as Eir's. I cancelled my skill and pulled the reins in my hand, ordering my Yegaun to turn around.
"Let them be. We have to move now." It would be bad if the guards closed the gates before we got there. Besides, I still had business with that Lizard Baron.

After that, we spurred our mounts.


-------

The sky above our heads had already turned dark when we passed the Whitevalley Village's gates, just before the guards closed them. Unlike the city and town's gates which were made of sturdy stone, the village gates were made of strong wood with some towers from the same material. A smaller magic crystal was on top of them.

Our Yegauns walked slowly through the quiet street. The cold air bit our bodies, even though we were wearing thick clothes now. The breath that came out of our noses and mouths formed a fog, showing how cold the place was. Our eyes looked around us. The houses and buildings were dominated by the white colour because of the snow.

Jyne moved her mount near me.
"Your--- I mean sir." Jyne's voice made me turn to her.

"Hm?"I answered with a short humming sound.

"It's so cold in here," said Jyne in a spoiled tone with a pout. Her eyes looked at me meaningfully.

"Be patient. We're almost there." Previously we had asked where the inn around here was and the guards pointed out the only inn here. This place was cold and there were no nice sights except the snowfield. Adventurers also avoided this area since it was only filled with danger and boredom.

"What if the inn isn't warm enough?" she said again. I knew she was just teasing me.

I smirked at her.
"Then I will warm you up," I said in a teasing tone.

A shy smile formed on her face that was red with embarrassment.

"Is that the Inn?" This time it was Evelina's voice that made me turn to her and shift to the building she was pointing at. A simple two-story house with the Inn sign hanging in front of it. The colour was almost the same as the colour of the surrounding houses so I hardly noticed it.

"You're right." I was quite surprised since the inn was smaller than I expected. But I couldn't complain remembering where we were.

We stopped in front of the Inn and got off from our mounts. An Inn guard swiftly approached us.
"Go ahead, sir. I will help him first," said Eir.

"Very well. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby. We'll have our dinner first," I said. I knew Eir had to unload some of the stuff in our saddlebags and help the Inn guard bring those mounts to the stable since it was too many for him to handle alone.

We opened the door and stepped into the small Inn. Empty tables and chairs entered our view. The warmth from a fireplace at the end of the room greeted us. A bar counter with some stools was on the side of the room. A bartender or they called him the bar master here, wiped the counter with a piece of cloth. A drink rack with some empty glasses and a few bottles of alcohol behind it. And a stair to the second floor was across from it.

That bar master turned to us.
"Welcome to our Inn. How can I help you?" he asked in a friendly tone.

I stiffened. My eyes locked at that male rabbit tribe who was standing behind the counter. His curly short hair was brown and from his appearance, he should be around his 30s, at least for human age. He reminded me of an old friend from my original world who I always spent my time chatting with after work.
