Chapter 633 Bald Mountain
Chapter 633 Bald Mountain
The reason why this place was called Bald Mountain was because there was a large flat area that was at the top of the mountain. The way that it was placed atop the mountain almost made it seem like it was balding.
However, this was also the reason why the wyverns had come here in the first place.
They were using this place for a ceremony of theirs.
In the game, this event had been called "Rise of Wyvern King".
That's right, it was the Wyvern King.
This was the place where the wyverns gathered every so often to decide their new king.
Even if they mostly lived in packs, there was still a Wyvern King that ruled over all of the others. This Wyvern King would be able to command other wyverns into doing what it wanted them to do.
As for why it was allowed to do that…it was because the Wyvern King was the strongest wyvern out of them all.
Even if the others wanted to resist, it wasn't as if they could do anything to resist.
This Wyvern King was decided every so often, depending on when the previous Wyvern King passed away.
In the rough society of the wyverns, this was an event that happened more often than one thought. After all, there were various ways for the Wyvern King to pass, which would require a new Wyvern King.
The method that happened the most was the betrayal of the Wyvern King by one of its trusted allies.
Wyverns didn't stick together because of loyalty, but rather they did it out of safety.
So the only reason that wyverns came together in packs was just because they were looking out for themselves. More wyverns together meant there was more safety since they could look out for each other.
But that didn't mean that they were loyal to each other.
So wyverns that wanted to become the Wyvern King would often take care of the Wyvern King in less reputable manners.
The other most common way for a Wyvern King to die was…death by humans.
The Wyvern King was powerful, but there was a limit to how much power an individual would have.
Since the Wyvern King was usually the most powerful wyvern, there were times where this was also the most aggressive individual.
As such, they would often do things like attacking human settlements.
Once they attacked enough human settlements, they would provoke something that they couldn't fight.
The human kingdoms used all of their powers to hunt down the Wyvern King and that would be enough to kill it.
Regardless of how they died, it wasn't important.
What was important was this Rise of the Wyvern King event.
This was where a new Wyvern King was crowned and that was what I had tamed this wyvern for.
I would make it the new Wyvern King and then use it to control the wyverns.
That was why I had given it all those supplements in the first place.
When we arrived at the Bald Mountain, I suddenly stopped our group and turned to the others to say, "From now on, I'll be proceeding alone with the wyvern."
When they heard this, they all looked at me with shocked looks before saying, "No."
I shook my head and said, "This isn't a suggestion, this is an order."
But even then, they still shook their heads and said, "No."
I gave a sigh before saying, "This is the only way that this will work. There's no way for you to follow since it will mean that we will have to fight all of the wyverns. If I go with the wyvern alone, there's still a way that they will accept this. But a large group of humans will be disregarded as dangerous."
They all looked at me with complicated looks, but in the end…
they decided to trust me and go along with my plan.
Though the fourth prince's men seemed like they were just going along because they had been ordered to.
But before we could head up Bald Mountain, there was something else that we had to do.
I looked at the wyvern and it gave a nod before moving over to the rest of our group.
They were no longer as scared of the wyvern since they had spent some time with it now, but they couldn't help looking up at it with a strange look. They couldn't understand just what it was planning to do.
Once the wyvern was standing over them, I gave a nod to it.
The wyvern looked down at the others of the group with an apologetic look before opening its mouth.
After opening its mouth, there was a liquid that came out.
This was the saliva of the wyvern that it seemed to be dripping down on the others.
When Cecilia and the others saw this, they immediately tried to move out of the way.
But I said, "Don't move and let it soak you."
They were caught off guard by this and that moment of hesitation was all that was needed for the wyvern to drench them in saliva.
After they were drenched, they quickly turned to look at me with glares as if they were blaming me for this. Though that was true since I was the one that had the wyvern do this and had told them to stay still.
I just calmly explained, "Wyvern saliva gives off the same scent as wyverns. As long as we have this on, they won't be able to find us."
After saying that, I turned to the wyvern and it came over to drip some saliva on me.
But unlike them, I was only moderately dripped on and could wipe it off with ease.
They all looked at me with resentful looks, but I just ignored them as I said, "Alright, it's time to go."
