Chapter 1022: Harakka Tribe
Chapter 1022: Harakka Tribe
I could see the way that Shaka and Klein were looking at me, but I just completely ignored them.
But before we could head to the giant tribe, there was something else that I had to do.
I suddenly raised my hand and said, "Let me call the others out first."
The giants were surprised to hear this, but they were even more surprised to find that they were completely surrounded by wyverns in less than a minute.
Now, they were completely surrounded and outnumbered by the wyverns.
If they were to fight, there was no doubt that the wyverns would be able to wipe them out.
At the same time, they could see that there were humans that were riding on the backs of these wyverns. That made it very clear that these wyverns were from the same group as these three in front of them.
The giant leader didn't say anything as he narrowed his eyes to look at me.
I just calmly looked right into the eyes of the giant leader and said, "Even if I'm bold, that doesn't mean that I'm reckless. It's only normal to keep some people back when you're meeting someone new for the first time. If something happens, they will be able to help us, right?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The giant leader didn't say anything as he calmly looked back into my eyes.
But in the end, he said, "Alright, I won't call you bold or reckless." Then as a smile crept onto his lips, he said, "I'll just call you crazy."
I didn't say anything as a smile appeared on my lips as well.
The two of us looked at each other for a bit before he turned around and waved his hand to say, "Alright, follow us. We'll take you back to our tribe."
The other giants looked like they had a bit of hesitation and doubt, but they listened to the leader of the hunter group in the end. It seemed that his prestige among this group was high enough that they would listen to his words even if they had their doubts about this decision. So with the giant leader leading the way, we were brought back to their tribe.
Though with the difference in size, we had to fly on the backs of the wyverns just to keep up with them.
The giants were able to traverse large areas of land with just a single step, so it wasn't as if they would be able to keep up with them on foot. As such, the wyverns were flying behind the giants near the ground.
This really created a terrifying scene where it seemed like we were forcing the giants to lead the way.
That was also what the guards of the village saw the moment that we arrived at the giant tribe.
"Enemy attack!"
That was the first thing that we heard as soon as we saw the village.
It was a good thing that the voices of the giants were loud so that we heard this right away and the leader of the hunters went forward to stop them.
It took a while for him to calm the guards down, but the deciding factor was the crystal that I had shown the hunters before. When they heard Ariel's voice coming from it, they fell into the same daze as the hunters had before.
Even the hunters were in a bit of a daze even though this was their second time hearing it. After the song ended, the guards at the village seemed much calmer than before.
The leader of the hunters said, "I'll personally guarantee them, so let them in."
The captain of the guards looked at the leader of the hunters with a strange look for a bit before finally saying with a sigh, "Olmir, watch over them carefully and make sure that they don't get in any trouble."
Though he said it like this, it didn't seem like he really meant it which showed just how much he trusted the leader of the hunters.
Olmir, the leader of the hunters, gave a slight nod before waving at us to follow him into the tribe.
Like this, we were able to gain access to the Harakka Tribe, which was what this tribe of giants was known as.
Of course, there were still problems even though we had gained access.
Even though we had the guarantee of someone like Olmir, it didn't seem like the others trusted us yet. Most of the giants seemed like they were watching us from afar and it even seemed like they were keeping their children away from us.
I could see one of the mothers pulling her child inside even though he clearly wanted to keep playing.
But there was nothing that we could do about that since we were outsiders that were let into the tribe. It wasn't as if they would suddenly trust us just because we had the guarantee of Olmir.
We didn't let this bother us as we looked around the giant village.
There were few accounts of giant villages in the records of the human world since it was rare to be allowed into giant villages. The few accounts that were written were from those that had escaped after being captured by giants.
Though it wasn't the fault of the giants that they were captured, it was their own fault for trespassing on the land of giants in the first place.
The written records could never be the same as seeing things for our own eyes.
Giant.
That was the one word that came to mind when seeing this village.
After all, this was a village that giants lived in, so of course they would build it to the scale that they would be able to live in it comfortably. That meant that compared to a human village, the size was completely different.
Just the amount of land that this village took up alone was already bigger than most towns and could even reach the size of human cities.
That was just the difference in scale between humans and giants.
