Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

In the morning, we set off for the forest.

Though the Nergiante Dukedom was a small country, that didn’t mean that it was small enough that we would have been able to reach the edge of the country where the forest was in a day if we traveled by horse carriage.

So naturally the only way that we could reach the forest in a day was by taking the wyverns.

Our group was already used to this, but it definitely was a frightening experience for the duke and his men.

Though his son did look at him with an envious look when he saw the duke getting to ride on the back of the wyvern.

The duke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his son looking at him like this.

On the backs of the wyverns, we quickly traveled the land of the Nergiante Dukedom. Though we did cause quite a bit of chaos as we flew overhead.

However, it also gave us a good insight into the Nergiante Dukedom.

The places that we flew over...the soldiers came out to protect the people without fear of losing their own lives.

Even the lords seemed to come out to protect their people instead of cowering in their manors.

In a smaller country like this, it seemed that the nobles were less corrupt.

Was it because they had less wealth to corrupt them or was it something else?

In just a few hours, we were able to reach the forest on the edge of the forest. When we arrived, our group immediately understood why it was called the Dark Forest, though I already knew since I had seen it in the game.

The forest was completely filled with jet black trees.

These trees seemed like they were corrupted, but the duke guaranteed that this was just how they looked.

After arriving at the edge of the Dark Forest, the first thing that we did was go to the guard post at the edge of the forest.

Since everything that had happened, the duke had increased security around the Dark Forest just in case anything else happened.

So these guards would have all the information about what was happening inside of the Dark Forest.

The guards were naturally surprised to see wyverns landing in front of them. They even raised up their weapons at us without fear of their own lives when we landed.

It seemed that the duke had trained his men well.

But they quickly calmed down when they saw it was the duke who had arrived on the back of these wyverns.

Even though the duke explained the situation to them, they still couldn’t help looking at our wyverns with a strange look. That was just how it was when one travelled by wyverns.

After they calmed down, I asked them about the situation in the forest.

The guards looked at the duke with a look as if they were asking if this was alright and the duke nodded in agreement.

It was only then that they gave me a summary of what they knew.

The animals were still dying strange deaths, but it didn’t seem like anything else had happened.

”Just this morning, we found another dead deer. It’s being hung up over there to air out before we burn it.” The captain of the guard pointed in a certain direction.

I gave a nod before heading over without saying a single word.

Everyone looked at me with strange looks, but they still chose to follow me over to see what was happening.

When we came over, I took out a knife and then started cutting into the deer’s antlers.

Everyone looked at me with the same strange look, but they didn’t stop me.

After cutting into the antlers, I turned it around so I could look at the insides.

I had to dig a bit before I was able to find what I was looking for.

When I saw this, I gave a satisfied nod as I said, ”It seems that we came earlier than I thought. The rate of the seal being released is far slower than what I thought it would be.”

They all looked at me with even more confused looks, but I chose not to explain.

I turned to the duke and said, ”We need to go into the forest.”

The duke hesitated for a second before giving a nod in response.

The captain of the guards didn’t seem to trust me, so he insisted that he come along with his men.

The duke thought about it for a moment before nodding in agreement to this without caring for my opinion. Though I wasn’t against it in the first place since more people would always be good if something went wrong.

Not that it would go wrong since I had my knowledge from the game.

With this new group, we progressed into the forest.

As we went into the forest, they raised their guards as if they were afraid that they would be attacked at any moment.

I shook my head when I saw this, but I didn’t stop them as I was focused on finding the right way.

And it turned out, it was easy for me to find the right way since I was able to find all the landmarks that had been used in the game. So it was easy for me to follow the path that was followed in the game.

When we arrived at our destination, everyone was confused about why we were here.

That was because we had arrived in a clearing with nothing but a large stone in the center.

This stone seemed unnatural, but there wasn’t anything special about this stone from what they could see.

I just ignored all of them as I went over to the side of the clearing and started looking at the trees there. After looking at them for a bit, I found one tree that stood out and pulled one of the branches.

When I did, the stone suddenly disappeared without a trace to reveal a set of stairs leading down.
