BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 Melvix Dukedom
No monster approached Zick as he was constantly releasing some of his dragon fear. The trees and the ground were still wet as it had rained just a while ago.
With the leather bag in his back, Zick waited for the wyvern to return and thought of any new magic that he could create. He had already finished reading all the books he brought from the seivet city long go. From that he got to know that his attack power was without a doubt above a high rank mage.
'I should have the strength of a quasi-peak rank mage or somewhere near it.'
Zick started looking towards the sky with his back supported upon a tree, Slowly the flapping sounds of wings reached him.
'It's back....'
Zick could feel the presence of the wyvern in a long distance from him, it flew in the sky majestically looking down sharply at the monsters as if they were nothing but prey for it to eat.
But when it reached near Zick, it became submissive again and bowed its head.
Getting upon it, Zick put the bag back at its position and gave the wyvern some instructions.
SWISH!
The wyvern started flying again, heading towards the Melvix family's estate.
They didn't encounter any bandits or human settlements thanks to the way they travelled. In this time it had rained twice keeping the humidity in the air high.
Sun rays passed through the cloud illuminating Zick's figure, there hadn't been any instant changes in his appearance after eating the dragon heart but now some changes started appearing.
His dark black hairs shined unnaturally which could make people feel mesmerised. His red eyes grew darker and the pupil within it started turning a little vertical. His black nails had become as strong as steel giving them metallic lustre.
He wore a black leather armour right at the moment with a black sword hanging in his waist. While stopping occasionally, Zick had checked out the sword capabilities.
Even without using any mana the sword would give out a subtle red glow following his will. When used along with his mana, the black mana would get a subtle red glow in it enhancing its power to a certain degree.
SWISH!
The wyvern landed in between the tree within a forest. This forest was specifically chosen by Zick as it was the nearest to the Melvix family. He didn't have a proper explanation as to why he could control a wyvern so he could only kill it and continue travelling by himself.
Zick didn't plan on telling anyone about his dragon fear, it would just gather unwanted attention on him. There is a chance this would even reach a dragon somehow and then come to meet him.
'I don't want that...'
If a dragon appeared, Zick life would totally depend on what the dragon felt. So he didn't plan on meeting any dragon until he became stronger than them.
SCREECH.....
Zick took out the cursed sword out of its sheath and sliced off the wyvern's head with a simple swing.
BOOM~
There wasn't any resistance at all, the wyvern body fell upon the ground lifelessly. Zick had not used either his mana or much strength behind that swing but still cut off the wyvern head so cleanly which shows it's capabilities.
Placing the dead wyvern body into the space ring, Zick counted how many there were totally within it.
'20...I can just order Von to sell it for me afterwards.'
There was also the loot he got from the bandits, Zick planned on seeking it through Butler Von too.
Hanging the leather bag behind him, Zick started heading towards the estate, it would probably only take half an hour to reach there from the forest he currently was in.
Zick wasn't much worried about the two eggs being found out as dragon's eggs. Even if they open the bag and look at it no one would associate it with a dragon's egg. Just being able to see a dragon was already a very rare thing, so there was a very low chance of anyone seeing a dragon egg.
The only way to find out that these two eggs were of dragon's was by sensing its mana with nature characteristics.
But the two eggs followed Zick's instruction of not letting out any mana so the chances of them finding out was nonexistent.
'And there isn't any reason for me to explain how I became a peak rank knight in two weeks...'
There was a very little chance of this being asked but he didn't plan on saying anything about it.
The forest was dense with big trees stopping the sun rays from passing through. The trees and the grasses on the ground gave off a lush glow because of the rainfall that had happened a while ago.
In this forest, Zick ran through the trees making the air get pushed aside creating strong winds which made the leaves flutter.
FWOOSH~
Zick got out of the forest in a while, an city fort appeared in the distance straight in front of him. He started heading towards the hill, Besides it. The Melvix family's estate is located at the top of that hill which is filled with dense trees.
Zick found the bag hung on his back annoying as it kept shaking while he moved on but he couldn't do anything about it.
'Using magic to fly would have been better.....'
But Zick didn't have any experience in flying so his speed while flying would be lower than running right now without a doubt. It was better to go by ground for now instead of trying to do something new.
'I should get used to flying too while I am staying here.....'
There was a track leading into the hill, he started walking on it, keeping a normal pace. There are always knights patrolling all over the hill in case of an intruder appearing.
So when Zick entered the hill it didn't take long for him to come across a knight. The sound of a horse heading towards him was clearly heard by him.
A knight wearing full plate armour with the Melvix family's crest etched in it appeared. The knight had a wary look on his face as he was not able to sense Zick's presence at all.
"Identify yourself, right now you are in an area affiliated with the Melvix dukedom."
The knight didn't say this disrespectfully as he was already aware of Zick's strength being above him.
Zick took out the crest and passed it onto the knight.
"A-a plaque!"
The knight hurriedly got down from the horse and kneeled towards Zick. Even though he wasn't too disrespectful, he still spoke from the back of his horse to a person who has a plaque of the Melvix family.
"I am sorry for being disrespectful before sir!, what might your name be?"
"Zick Melvix"
Zick answered in a plain tone.
The Knight's eyes widened hearing him, In these two years almost all the aristocrats knew about him so the knights affiliated with them also got to know a little about his feat. Not to say about the Melvix family where Zick originated from, every knight knows about him.
"Please follow me sir!"
The knight became more respectful and started treating him more friendly. He had already given back the plaque to Zick But there was something that confused him.
'Why is he carrying the bag like that....?'
The knight couldn't understand why Zick was carrying the bag at his back like that when he has a space ring. But in the end he decided to not ask anything about it.
