Chapter.42

If Elder Sukwon is over 5,000 years old, it is not unreasonable to say that he knows the dead dragon.

Looking at their expressions, it seems like they didn’t have a good relationship.

Of course, that’s not the problem now.

The elder also didn’t relax his face after the word “gray” was said and suddenly changed the topic.

“I don’t know why you need time to think, but it would be better not to do anything foolish, right? But we red dragons are generous. So I will give you two days. I hope you think about it carefully and make the right decision. Wouldn’t that be good for the kid too? Of course, you know that neither you nor we can use magic in the sanctuary of the Holy Land, so there is no way to escape as you said. “It would be better to quietly sell beads for gold.”

The change of topic was a half-threat that I could never accept.

As if I couldn’t stand it anymore, I stamped my feet and blocked Lurin’s mouth and eyes as she let out a small sound like “woo-woo-woo” next to me.

Little Lurin’s face was occupied by my two hands.

Then he finally calmed down and stopped stamping his feet. Still, I got the time, so it’s okay.

The threats suck, but you got what you wanted.

I already know the sanctuary the elder spoke of. This large sacred site is not the entire sanctuary. Inside the sacred site, there is a special space called the sanctuary.

The problem is that mana does not collect well in this space.

Just as in modern times it took a considerable amount of time to recover mana because there was very little mana in the air, there is almost no mana and the accumulated mana cannot be used due to the extremely amazing barrier.

It’s not that scary. Because I can’t use magic, it means that dragons can’t use it either.

Besides, they can’t run wild in the sanctuary. Because it is literally their sanctuary.

So, if we were to do something, it wouldn’t be underground, but somewhere like where we are standing now.

Isn’t the reason they don’t do something right away because they know that it will be difficult to get the orb if they just use teleportation and run away?

I guess they need time to prepare something by locking us up in their own sanctuary.

The reason I asked for time to think was to achieve the goal of using beads and to find out the certainty that they were the culprits of Rurin’s mother’s incident.

At this point, all my senses tell me that they are 80% culprits, but we need 20% more.

My ultimate goal is to make the Black Dragons, in front of Lulin, admit that Lulin’s mother was framed and offer a sincere apology for treating her as a disgrace to the clan.

Of course, it is also important to make the Red Dragons receive compensation.

The price will never be light.

They also seem to need some time.

I also needed time, so by the order of Elder Red Dragon, we were guided to the sanctuary located underground.

There is also a space in the sanctuary, and the space looks like one huge lair.

“you! Ugh! “I’m angry, I’m angry, I’m angry!”

As soon as we arrived at Lair, the Lulin volcano erupted. It’s like magma gushing out.

It’s just a good thing that the explosion was postponed until now.

“Hold on just a little longer. “You’ve endured well so far, right?”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have already blown that elder’s head off!”

“Okay, okay, I endured it well.”

“I got angry and I’m hungry!”

Lulin squatted down with a sullen face. He still holds my arm tightly.

Earlier, I was holding it so tightly that it bruised, but now I am holding it so weakly that it threatens to fall off. It seemed like he had no intention of letting go.

Maybe it’s because they tell me to never let go of my hand and stay by my side.

So, even with this wide rare, wouldn’t it not fall off like a piece of gum completely stuck to the floor?

Seeing things like this brings back old memories.

A space similar to where we are now. That was the time when I proposed a bet to shorten the distance between me and Lurin, who was sleeping far away from that wide rare.

When I think about the distance between me and Rurin now, it is just a vague memory. I asked while stroking Lulin’s cheek, who was stroking her stomach with a look on her face that made it even worse because she was angry and hungry.

“hungry?”

Lurin nodded so vigorously that her hair was shaking.

“It’s because I’m forced to endure it.”

“If you’re hungry, you can summon something.”

“oh! I wish it was sweet! “You told me to eat sweets when I’m angry.”

Lurin swallowed hard and spoke with a desperate look on her face. While trying to use summoning magic to meet that expectation, I realized one thing.

“ah. right.”

“uh?”

“I can’t even use summoning magic. “This was a sanctuary.”

“Uuuuuuuuuu?”

Lulin lowered his head and sat down. Even in that situation, he is holding my arm.

I sat down and raised only one hand. Because I sat down, my hand slipped and now I’m holding my hand instead of my wrist.

“Hold on a moment. “There’s something important.”

“Something important?”

I took out a modern item from my chest. He took Lulin’s item with his free hand, lifted it up to the ceiling, placed it on the ground, and looked around with a strange look on his face.

“What is this guy? “It looks strange.”

“It’s a good device to tell the Red Dragons’ ambitions. It’s from where I lived. “I’m going to wiretap.”

“Wiretapping?”

“Earlier, I saw the elder and the ancient dragons entering the sanctuary. It seemed like they were probably going to a place where sacred relics were kept. Well, it’s nearby. I attached a listening device to the elder’s body earlier. “This was prepared from the restaurant.”

“Hoo. “I don’t know what it is, but I get it.”

Lurin glared at the listening device with a puzzled expression. It’s a face that says you don’t know anything.

“Well, it’s simple. This will tell you what the elder says from now on.”

“Oh oh? “This guy?”

Even if they find this on their body, they won’t be able to tell what it is.

Because it’s a thing from Earth. It is also a very scientifically advanced modern object.

So, I sat down next to Lurin and tuned in.

Rurin stared at me as I touched the listening device and then quietly rested her head on my shoulder.

“hmm. Still on the move? “I can hear fluttering, but I can’t hear talking.”

“Can you hear what the red guys are saying from there?”

“Exactly. Hehehe. “Let’s wait a little bit.”

“i get it. As expected, there are many strange things in the place where you lived. The thing that I liked the most was the photo. “I wanted to take a lot of pictures with you.”

“Photos?”

Nod.

Lurin raised her arms with an excited expression. Thanks to this, my right hand, which Lulin was holding tightly, also went up.

“That’s a good guy! Because it contains your image so I can continue to see it. It’s okay to see that when I’m away from you. Of course, it shouldn’t last longer than a day!”

“Well, there’s no way to get a camera, so I’ll gift it to you later. “So that you can take as many pictures as you want.”

“Really! Your face! Face face face! I’m going to take a picture of your face. Hi-Hi.”

“What are you doing taking so many pictures of my face? “We should take a picture together.”

“no. I wanted to see a little more last time, but I failed because the wall was blocking me. “But it’s not easy for me to stay up while you’re sleeping!”

“huh? The wall? failure?”

What does that mean?

“Oh no! “I didn’t say anything.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you want to see your face, you can do so now. What’s left is time. Now, let’s observe, right?”

What if it’s Lulin’s wish?

I put my face close to Lulin’s face. Then Lulin’s eyes scanned my face.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu no. If it’s this close… .”

Then he suddenly lowered his head.

Why is your face red? Just on your face? It’s not like that usually?

“It’s better to observe if you sleep like you did back then! Boo.”

As expected, he is complaining and saying something incomprehensible. Then, after a while, he suddenly raised his head, brought his free other hand to my face, and said.

“If you close your eyes, will it be the same? Eight. “Close your eyes, girl!”

“What are you doing? now.”

Cheeeeeek-!

It was right then.

The listening device started making loud noises.

Lulin tried to close his eyes and I, who tried to avoid it, stopped and focused on the listening device.

“Anyway, do you think he will listen calmly?”

A voice coming from the device.

This is my first time hearing this voice. Perhaps it was the ancient dragon next to the elder?

“Even though I showed you that much gold, your eyes didn’t waver, right? “He’s an annoying human being.”

You saw my eyes exactly.

Lulin began glaring at the listening device with a curious look on his face, and Red Dragon’s conversation continued.

“You annoying human! “Couldn’t you have just dealt with it on the spot?”

“It’s not difficult since we’ve gathered an elite unit. Isn’t there a teleport? “It would be difficult to run away with the marble.”

“ah. “There was that.”

“I wasn’t ready. “I will call you tomorrow and put an end to it.”

“good. Now that I have confirmed the dragon orb, my long-held wish will finally be fulfilled.”

“That’s right! For our world. Our world where only the Red Dragon is at the top of this world! Because we will destroy all gold dragons and black dragons and create a world for our species. “All of that should have been achieved in the last war!”

“Thanks to you, aren’t you able to use the original method that has been practiced for a long time? It’s better to hit the ground running than to go back. “He was the one who ruined the war, but he brought back the beads, so shouldn’t I be thankful?”

“I plan to kill you instantly in return.”

“That seems too generous, doesn’t it?”

“The little girl next to you is her daughter, right? “The guy who gave us the Black Dragon Orb.”

“okay. It was tough to kill because it was so tough. “I’ll send that little boy to his mom tomorrow, too.”

“Those are trivial things. “What really matters is the plan after that.”

The conversation continued.

Their simulation.

The more it happened, the more the blood disappeared from Lurin’s face. At this moment, Lulin’s enemy has been confirmed.

The evil beast that killed Rurin’s mother.

That was the elder of Red Dragon.

***

next day.

Rurin was sleeping with swollen eyes.

Stick close to me.

Now that the object of revenge I had been holding deep in my heart had appeared, my anger was enormous, but I stopped Rurin for now.

If you kill them all now, you will only become a massacre.

Other dragons know about Red Dragon’s ambition.

For all the scenarios in which the Black Dragons apologized to Lurin, who had dismissed it as a disgrace.

Because we can never hastily step forward now.

It’s not my time yet.

Until then, I’ll have to hang out with you.

However, I didn’t expect their ambition to be this level. I just thought they were going to do something with the dragon orbs.

In that sense, all of the conflicts between dragons that have occurred so far were all Red Dragon’s intentions.

The fact that the power of the Gold Dragons that produce Dragon Lords has weakened significantly over the past few thousand years is ultimately related to the Red Dragons.

He took the Black Dragon Orb from Rulin’s mother, but when he realized that there were not enough beads, he did the next best thing and started a dragon war.

The reason Lulin’s childhood was so unfortunate was ultimately due to that ambition.
