“Didn’t you hear? next.”
“Fuck.”
The examiner spoke as if urging him to do so. Ronan kept groping his back as if trying to remove a bug, but he could not feel the imprint. He swallowed thick saliva as he realized he was screwed.
‘Fuck, what happened?’
I couldn’t figure out why the imprint, which was fine, disappeared. I still vividly remember looking in the mirror and giggling, saying that my back definitely improved my form.
The two people were still looking at his smooth back with puzzled eyes. Asher said.
“Jo, it seemed like it had faded a little, but I never expected it to go away…”
“what?”
“It’s my fault. “I should have told you then…!”
Asher held his head with both hands. He happened to see that the engraving on Ronan’s back had faded slightly a few days ago when he was walking around with his topless.
At the time, I thought it was just my mood or something special, so I moved on, but I never thought it would end up like this. He was blaming himself and said in tears.
“I-I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I am···!”
“it’s okay. “It’s already happened, so what should I do?”
Ronan shook his head. Since he couldn’t figure out the cause, it was something he couldn’t do anything about, even if he knew in advance. He chewed his lips and sighed as he pondered.
“···let’s go.”
“Um, really? “Are you okay?”
“okay. There isn’t really a way. Are you going to use the beauty world at least?”
Asher pursed his lips. Ronan walked to the screening table with the two people. There was no other way to do this except to try to hit it. Since it was engraved, I wonder if the energy remains, even if only slightly.
‘If I get kicked out, I’ll have to at least smuggle myself into the country.’
Since this was the case, we had to assume the worst case scenario. Ronan and his group, who were walking while looking for a wall they could overcome, soon arrived in front of the examiner. The messenger’s charred lower body was still rolling at his feet.
“You guys go first.”
“Yes.”
Asher and Schlieffen, who had no kangaroos, stepped forward first. The examiner, who saw their engravings, muttered in an interested voice.
“Hmm. Are you a servant of Itargand? “This is precious.”
“···Examiner. Did you say Itargand?”
Suddenly, the eyes of the guards standing guard changed. The large men approached with great strides and surrounded the three people.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
“What’s going on?”
A frightened Asher shrugged his shoulders. Schlieffen’s hand rose to the hilt of his sword. It was an unusually threatening feeling, as if it was about to attack at any moment.
Suddenly, I remembered that Itargand had told me to hide the information that was related to him. Ronan’s brow furrowed.
‘There’s nothing we can do here, damn it.’
It wasn’t that I forgot, but there was nothing I could do if the judging panel came out like this. Was it also greedy to hope that at least the entry process would be fair? The examiner, who was fiddling with his beard, continued.
“Time flies, the youngest member of the Fire Dragon clan already has a servant. “Please come in.”
“Yes, yes?”
“However, please refrain from mentioning the owner’s name. “The timing is not very good.”
Ronan and his group’s eyes widened. They let it pass so easily? The sentries who were holding the weight asked questions in embarrassed voices.
“Bah, Vanartier. His Majesty clearly ordered that if anyone related to the Navardose clan came, they should be expelled or arrested. How could this be…”
“Don’t you know that that is a nonsensical order? Navardose is someone who has enjoyed this land even before Adren was created. “Please do not be blinded by greed and forget your duty.”
The examiner strongly criticized the decision. The dejected sentries retreated. Fortunately, not everyone seemed to support the Dragon King in the political fight. He said, turning to Ronan.
“Then whose servant are you?”
“Uh… that’s right. “I am…”
The old man had one eye that was extremely harsh. The scene of that mouth opening and flames pouring out was repeatedly pictured in my mind.
‘It’s really fucked up.’
I couldn’t think of any way to overcome the current situation. First of all, I was fiddling with my shirt to show off my back. The examiner, who was looking at Ronan closely, let out a small exclamation.
“···oh my god.”
“What’s wrong?”
Ronan tilted his head at the sudden reaction. The examiner slowly walked forward and suddenly knelt down on one knee. The eyes of everyone present were wide open.
“Uh…over there?”
“The old dragon Vanartie meets with the representative of the Fire Mother.”
“deputy?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you carrying the spark of the beginning? “Please forgive my rudeness in only now recognizing this noble person.”
Ronan raised his eyebrows when he heard the word “ember of the beginning.” I completely forgot. Into this heart was implanted a fragment of Navardose’s fundamental power that could not be compared to an engraving or anything like that.
‘I never thought I would benefit in this way.’
When I thought about it, I thought that the reason Itargand’s imprint disappeared over a few days was because it was absorbed into it. A large fire devours a small fire in a similar way. Ronan, who had been scratching her head, opened her mouth.
“Did you have an agent other than me?”
“A long time ago. But this is my first time with humans. “You are not a dragon, nor do you inherit his blood, but you receive the spark of the beginning… It fills me with awe.”
The extremely polite attitude was almost creepy. I’m not sure, but receiving the spark of the beginning itself seemed to have tremendous meaning.
From the looks of it, this old man also looks like a dragon, but I never thought he would show up in such a low posture. Once again, I was able to realize the status of that sensual dragon married woman.
“then···.”
The examiner slowly got up, looked at the front door, and muttered something. Kugugu Palace… The gate began to open with a sound that sounded like a mountain roaring. He said, pointing to Adren visible through the crack in the door.
“Please go in. However, as I told my companions, it would be best to be careful. “The majority of dragons and servants still respect Navardose, but they are equally afraid of His Majesty’s oppression.”
“thank you. “Can we just leave the ship we came on as is?”
Ronan pointed to the Red Whirlwind. The sight of him lying at an angle at the edge of the pier was quite pitiful. The examiner smiled kindly and waved his hand.
“Ah, we’ll keep that aside. “Don’t worry.”
“Please take care of me. “It is a ship that Itargand loves very much.”
The sentries were looking at the group with dumbfounded expressions. After saying those words, Ronan took a step forward.
“Then, let’s go.”
The door was still open, so the gap was narrow, but it was enough for three humans to pass through. It was awkward because it went so well as expected, but it was a good thing that I succeeded in entering the country anyway.
‘It won’t work out the way you want. Nebula Clage.’
Ronan strengthened his resolve again. It was the moment I passed through a gate that was probably 5 meters thick. The most spectacular view of the city I have ever seen unfolded before my eyes.
“Wow…!”
“Amazing. “Is this the dragon city?”
Asher and Schlieffen exclaimed in admiration. It was incredibly delicate and beautiful for a city where giant dragons lived.
Overall, most of the large buildings were decorated with gold or jewels. It was a sculpture that clearly reflected the dragon’s unique greedy nature.
People and animals that appeared to be servants or polymorphed dragons were walking freely through the streets. The sunset, which had reached its peak, was adding to its beauty.
“···It’s awesome.”
Ronan muttered softly. But she had no time to get lost in sentimentality. He brushed his bangs and looked back at the two people and said.
“First, let’s go to a place where there are as many people as possible. “I need to gather rumors related to the church.”
“Hmm, if it’s a place where a lot of people gather… a square? motel?”
“Maybe it’s a place like that. “You never know where the enemy may be, so don’t relax.”
Ronan pleaded. They moved deeper into the city. The magnificent tower where the Dragon King resided was looking down on them from the center of Adren.
****
“Damn… it’s heavy. “If you do this, you have to carry the humans’ ships.”
“Is it really okay… Geukgeuk, if His Majesty finds out, he won’t let it go.”
The sentries grumbled. About a dozen people were moving the Red Whirlwind into the hangar. Originally, it was customary for visitors to take care of their own vehicles, but they had no choice due to the orders of the examiner Vanartier.
“Geueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! “Kaaaaaa!”
Originally, it was not normal to lift and move something that had to be floated on water. After struggling for almost an hour, they were able to get the stupid sloop into the hangar. One of the guards who had been checking Ronan and his party said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Huh…damn it. Wow, it’s finally over.”
“If it continues like this, it won’t work because it’s unfair. Even though they are dragons and we are henchmen, this is too much.”
“How about this? I will secretly report it to Your Majesty. And we share the prize. “The Navarreau is a man of great shame, so he will certainly reward you generously.”
“Oh, that’s okay. Actually, since when have I been praising a person? “It’s been almost a hundred years since I left Adren.”
The sentries chuckled. They were discussing plans to fuck up Vanartier and the Dragon King’s reward. Squeak… The cabin door slowly opened. Someone’s voice was heard from above.
“That’s strange.”
“what?”
The sentries all raised their heads. There was clearly a man standing on the deck where there was no one there. Even when we inspected the inside of the sloop, there was no one like that.
The man, whose hair had grown to his waist, was wearing a long, pitch-black coat that reached his shins. He looked down at his guards and opened his mouth.
“Let me ask you one thing. “Who rules Adren now?”
“What are you?!”
“Could it be that Navarre has fallen from his throne?”
The man in black continued speaking, ignoring the guards. No answer came back. The man who was watching their reactions sighed.
“…It seems like that. “It seems like a long time has passed.”
His attitude was so calm that it made me feel bad. Anger slowly began to appear on the embarrassed faces of the guards. A sentry with a spear drawn pointed at the man in black and shouted.
“It looks like it’s a stowaway, but it’s carrying a strange weight. “Come down!”
“If you surrender obediently, I won’t tear you to death!”
Eventually, the infectious anger excited the guards. That kind of attitude was unacceptable. Made up of servants of famous dragons, they were like guard dogs in Adren, but compared to humans, they were no different from superhumans.
“Come down!”
At that time, a sentry threw away the spear he was holding in his hand. Shhh! The spear aimed precisely at the head flew through the wind.
However, the man in black dodged the attack by lightly twisting his head. Both of his hands were still in the pockets of his coat. Sigh! The spear flew in a straight line and hit the mast right behind it. The sentry’s eyes grew so big that they almost seemed to pop out.
“Did you avoid it?”
The spear blade had completely disappeared into the mast. This was because the throwing force was so strong. It was impossible for a human to avoid that. The black man glanced at the window and growled lowly.
【Who dare you show your teeth in front of?】
The sentries shrugged their shoulders. The energy itself was different from before. It seemed like he wasn’t an average bet. They made a quick decision and simultaneously unleashed the power of engraving.
“This guy is suspicious, deal with it immediately!”
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Since they were skilled, it didn’t take long. Her armor exploded, revealing a scaly body.
Within a few seconds, the guards transformed into monsters that looked like a mixture of half wyvern and half human. They roared with anger and rushed at the man.
“I’ll kill you!”
“I know where this is!”
All the sentries boarded the ship in one leap. bang! bang! bang! Every time the giant foot hit the deck, a loud noise rang out. The man in black took his hands out of his pockets. Kwasik! For a moment, it seemed like his body was blurring, and then the upper body of ten of the eleven people exploded and were torn apart.
“W-what…!”
It wasn’t even visible. The face of the one survivor turned completely white. Shoot, the fresh blood and flesh that had soared high into the sky began to pour down like rain.
The man in black stood still. His appearance, covered in red blood, looked as calm as if he were on an outing. The sentry, sensing absolute defeat, was about to turn his back and run away. Something long and sharp pierced his back.
“Big… billion…!”
The sentry slowly lowered his gaze. The head of the polearm he had thrown a moment ago was growing through his chest. The man in black tapped the spear embedded in his body and opened his mouth.
【Spit out everything you know. About Adren and Navardose.】
“Yeah, sure. “I’ll tell you everything, so please save me!”
The man in black didn’t answer. The frightened guard forgot the pain of being pierced by his spear, and he told him everything he knew. The explanation lasted for twenty minutes.
【is it. Navardose and his family suddenly disappeared somewhere?】
“Yes, that’s right. No one knows where it went. “It’s real!”
【Hmm…】
“Help me now. I told you everything. huh?”
The man in black sighed. Judging from the guard’s attitude, it didn’t seem like he was lying. He was thinking about something and nodded.
【Go away now.】
“Fuck off, fuck off? for a moment···!”
It was the car that the sentry was about to turn his head to. The man in black lifted the spear he was holding. Sigh! The spear blade, twisted vertically, cut vertically from the sentry’s chest to the top of his head.
There was no screaming. The fountain of blood gushed. dump. A corpse, open like a bud, fell to the floor. The man in black walked away, wiping the blood with his handkerchief.
“This has become a hassle.”
This situation got a little annoying. He had to find someone who knew Navardose’s whereabouts. But I heard that the whole clan disappeared, where?
“···ah.”
As he was thinking, a human face flashed through his mind. I heard your name was Ronan.
I’m not sure of its purpose, but it’s probably still wandering around Adren. She thought her relationship would end the moment she rented the boat.
“Let’s have a drink first…”
The man in black muttered quietly and took a step forward. The sunset that seeped through the gap in the hangar door illuminated the eleven corpses.
