I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 28 The Call



Erend arrived back inside his room as soon as he exited the Portal. Billy was sleeping with his mouth open and a gentle snoring sound. He didn't realize Erend's presence at all.

Erend immediately went out and took a shower. His whole body was dirty with the marks of fighting. Blood, a few pieces of small organs, and exhaustion.

Erend felt that he never returned with a clean body from Eternal Earth. He always came back after fighting and killing some strange creatures.

After bathing, Erend immediately made coffee and sat outside the bunker to wait for the sun to rise.

The air was cold but the coffee in his hand warded off the cold. Finally, the sun rose slowly. A bright light began to come from behind him because the bunker was facing west.

The grassland that was originally a battlefield looked peaceful. The dew clinging to the grass began to reflect the sunlight and became a glittering decoration in front of him.

Erend enjoyed all of that as a quiet moment before another big thing came along. He had a feeling about it for today.

[ Daily Quest: Kill 30 Goblins in Arman Mine. ]

[Rewards: 50 Exp. ]

Suddenly a notification about the Daily Quest appeared. Erend sighed a long breath.

"Do I have to fight again?"

But Daily Quests were something that appeared every day and the time limit was until the day ended. That means he can still do it later and can rest first.

Erend finished his coffee and felt relieved that he didn't have to fight anymore now.

The soldiers began to get up one by one. A peaceful situation like this made the soldiers wake up with the enthusiasm and big smiles.

Previously they just woke up with the Handler's voice ordering them to fight and sacrifice their lives for the Republic.

Now the Handler's voice that they had never even seen was no longer heard. At least for the next five months. But if they don't manage to retrieve the key, then things might just go back to the way they were.

"You don't sleep?" Billy came over too with his own cup of coffee.

"I was asleep," Erend replied.

"At the Elves' place?"

Erend nodded his head. Billy looked at Erend with narrowed eyes.

"What?" asked Erend who was confused about the meaning of Billy's gaze.

"Did you sleep with Aurdis?"

Erend finally knew what Billy's gaze meant.

"You have to control your dirty mind, man," Erend said in disbelief.

"Hey, I'm asking something very reasonable. You saw how Aurdis is, right?"

Billy then proceeds to describe some of the prominent features of Aurdis' body.

"Bro! she is an Elf princess!" said Erend.

"That's even better!" Billy laughed.

Erend shook his head. But he had to admit that Aurdis' body was amazing. It was just that last night he was too tired and in pain to pay attention to it.

"You know, if Aerchon heard what you said about his sister, he wouldn't think twice about splitting you in two," Erend said.

Billy just waved his hand in front of his face as if he wanted to knock Aerchon's out of the air.

"Fuck that guy!" Billy said.

"No, he will fuck you up," Erend confirmed.

Lt. Boartusk came out of the bunker and approached them. In his hands were two cellphones with screens on.

"Brook!" call the lieutenant.

Billy turned and caught the cell phone that the lieutenant had thrown. He looked at the screen and saw that there was already a message coming in.

"What is it?" Erend asked.

"The message we've been waiting for has arrived." The one who answered Erend's question was Lt. Boartusk.

The three of them then went back into the bunker. After entering the room that is usually used for meetings and locking the door, Lt. Boartusk made a video call to LTC. Ibis and LTC. Coil with his cell phone.

The three of them sat together waiting for them to receive the call.

"Good morning," said LTC. Ibis. "We've been trying to find information but we've got very little. The man's name is Earl Larch and he is under the protection of the President. Besides that, we also received quite shocking news." LTC. Ibis stopped and turned to LTC. coil. Signaling his friend to continue.

"State officials are preparing ways to use the key's power. We both don't know what the key can do but... I kind of have a bad feeling about it," said LTC. Coil with an unsettled expression.

Erend and Billy exchanged glances. Their gazes seemed to say, 'Yes. It will be bad.'

What would happen if the Elf's power fell into the hands of humans? Actually, Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk still didn't understand the power of the water of the Fountain of Eternity other than healing the wounds of the Elves.

But something that the Elves guarded to such an extent was, of course, something that had great power. They must not let that power fall into the hands of those who have made a policy of throwing the poor outside the walls to fight to their death.

"So what should we do, sir?" asked Lt. Boartusk.

There was a sigh from LTC. Coil before he answered. "Looks like we have to do a second plan."

"Steal it?" Lt. Bortusk asked.

"Yes." That answer sounded out heavily spoken by LTC. coil.

"Do you know what power that key has?" LTC. Ibis asked.

"We don't know, sir. We only know that with that key, Elf won't bother us anymore," Lt. Boartusk replied.

LTC. Ibis nodded his head. "All right. You can come to base in a week. We'll both prepare everything first."

"Yes, sir."

After that, the video call is closed.

"Can we trust them?" Erend looked suspicious.

"We can trust them," said Lt. Boartusk. "They are my seniors in the military. You don't have to worry because I've known them for quite a while."

"Well, alright, sir."

Erend nodded his head. But there was still doubt in his heart. Erend knows better than to trust anyone too much.
