Chapter 134

Harrison said excitedly.

“Over there, up there! I can feel an incredibly refreshing energy! From that mountain valley!”

Raul widened his eyes and looked where Harrison was pointing.

“Ah, that place… We can’t go there because the terrain is too rough.”

He shook his head and declared firmly.

“Even for you two, it would be impossible.”

The ‘two’ here referred to Alpheus and Leopold.

“Raul is right.”

Then Isabela appeared from behind.

“Even I can’t go there.”

Isabela had been extremely busy gathering information about the Northern Region. So we could barely see her face, but it seemed she had just returned to the village.

Raul explained.

“That place is said to be where Lord Piarin once stayed.”

Living here, I noticed that everyone regarded ‘Lord Piarin’ as sacred.

Yet when I asked about ‘Lord Piarin’, everyone just answered that they didn’t know much.

I asked Isabela, whom I was meeting after a long time.

“Lord Piarin? Who exactly is that person?”

Isabela answered nonchalantly.

“I don’t know much either. Legends about villages being established under ‘someone’s’ protection are honestly very common.”

The Northern Region could certainly be like this, with people living scattered in small groups.

“But in the old Northern Region dialect of this area, ‘Pi’ means across the sea, and ‘Arin’ means queen.”

Queen from across the sea…

I widened my eyes.

‘Could it be the Queen of Riente?’

The story Maximus had told me flashed through my mind.

“The one who helped the dark mage Hexan in ancient times to cast a curse on another world was the Queen of Riente.”

As I blinked, Harrison muttered disappointedly.

“I guess that’s a place where humans can’t go and only beasts can. I did see deer wandering around up there. But those deer had reddish areas around their noses?”

Suddenly, words flashed through my mind.

Santa… Rudolph’s red nose…

It was a very foreign memory, but it suddenly became clear.

“I heard that the deer in the Northern Region Santa folklore look similar to the deer in this area.”

I opened my mouth slightly in surprise.

Santa folklore differs completely from region to region.

For example, in the Central Region where I grew up, they said Santa Claus would dig through tunnels with moles and leave gifts in the yard only for good children.

In the Western Region, Santa rode horses, in the Eastern Region he was accompanied by turtles, and in the Southern Region he traveled with groups of lizards.

And in the Northern Region, deer pull the sleigh…

‘This is right! The Northern Region folklore is correct!’

I looked up at the mountaintop and thought.

‘I must go there. There’s definitely something there. This is the origin of the Santa folklore.’

But everyone said humans couldn’t reach that place…

‘Then does that mean it’s possible if you’re a beast?’

I secretly glanced at Leopold.

As far as I knew, there were still several weeks left until Leopold’s transformation period.

‘Anyway, I need to watch the rice seedlings settle in the terraced fields… I’ll have to stay in the Northern Region a bit longer.’

Like most farming, everything took time.

So there weren’t enough results yet to demand that Isabela ‘go to the Western Region right now and try Purification.’

“Well, then.”

Since I had to stay in the Northern Region longer anyway, I said calmly.

“Now I’d like to meet that ‘Half-Human, Half-Beast’ of the Northern Region.”

Now that I knew that the otherworlder who was the beginning of all these curses, the ‘Queen of Riente’, had spent her later years here.

Even though I had learned the whereabouts of the female protagonist Isabela, I still wanted to meet that ‘Half-Human, Half-Beast.’

“Oh my, oh my… I’ll be going now.”

But Raul immediately glanced at Isabela and slowly backed away.

“Whenever we talk about that ‘monster’, Bella gets so angry…”

Raul gave an awkward smile and immediately left as if fleeing.

Indeed, Isabela’s face had already hardened stiffly.

“You want to meet that ‘monster’? Why, dangerously?”

Looking at her, Alpheus casually brought up.

“But Isabela, Sears can use Taming. You know that too.”

Then Isabela replied coldly.

“There’s no need to use Taming. I’ll kill that ‘monster’ myself.”

That ‘Half-Human, Half-Beast’ must be Isabela’s father…

I couldn’t pretend to know, so I quickly said.

“Is there really a need to go that far? According to Prince Maximus, it seems capable of conversation and doesn’t appear to harm humans…”

“Until recently, it was a very threatening presence in the Northern Region.”

Isabela said seriously.

“If we can’t clear land for slash-and-burn farming, it’s hard for us to grow crops.”

“But according to His Highness, it must know many things we don’t, so I’d like to meet it first to ask about those things. Since we know where it lives, how about we move in that direction?”

“Hmm.”

At my words, Isabela showed a thoughtful expression for a moment, then said.

“No, that’s not necessary. I know how to call it out.”

It was a shocking statement.

To think our female protagonist was this useful.

“Really? How do you call it out?”

Alpheus asked, unable to hide his curiosity, and Isabela replied indifferently.

“Just see for yourself. We can leave now.”

“N-now? Leave right now? Why?”

“Because I only have time now. Tomorrow will have tomorrow’s tasks.”

The Northern Region princess hiding her identity was busy.

“The others don’t seem particularly busy right now either, so is there any reason not to go now?”

And she was bold.
