The Order of the Holy Cross had no specific rules prohibiting its members from dating or marrying.
Because of this, there were many married people with children like Carmen, and there were also quite a few members who were interested in romance like Manuel.
“Hehehe.”
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
So, Carmen and Manuel, who faced Uder, who was sitting on the bed with a somewhat shameless expression, and Cordelia, who was sitting on the chair by the bed with even more disheveled clothes and slightly avoiding eye contact, smiled silently.
‘Your clothes are disheveled.’
‘Miss Cordelia, you have some impressive marks on your neck and collarbone.’
Manuel and Carmen only spoke to themselves, but there was something called a look in their eyes and an expression.
Cordelia turned her head away as if a loud noise was coming from somewhere and wiggled her fingers, but shameless Uther reached out and held Cordelia’s hand.
‘Miss Cordelia is flinching.’
‘But you look nice.’
An expression that was both embarrassed and proud, no, I should say proud.
It was really lovely to see him lower his head, roll his eyes slightly, look at Yuder, then look back at his covered hands and laugh.
‘I guess I’ll just finish my business quickly and get out of here.’
‘I guess I have to do this quickly.’
Carmen and Manuel, who had the same thoughts without even exchanging glances, immediately got on with their conversation.
“This is the report that Kamael asked me to convey.”
Manuel handed Yuder, who was sitting on the bed, a document full of numbers.
The documents contained details of how Malekith’s corpse, the greatest spoil of war between the two, would be divided, and how much it would cost to transport and store.
‘Well, as expected. It’s a Kamael-like history.’
As expected of Kamael, who has a straightforward personality, he distributed the spoils precisely according to merit.
I have attached the calculation formula and basis for how the merit rating was calculated.
‘We have the most.’
If we look at it individually, Landius’s share was the biggest, but this was two people.
Moreover, the share of just Uderna and Cordelia was not much smaller than that of Landius to begin with.
If Landius was 10, then Uther and Cordelia would each be around 9.
‘That’s really Kamael-like.’
He included not only the battle with Malekith itself, but also the process leading up to this battle in his contribution.
As a result, the shares of Natural Yuder and Cordelia had to increase.
‘And the final blow was struck.’
I handed the documents over to Cordelia, who was looking at me with curious eyes and smiling happily again, and sent a message magic.
[We also have the largest stake in Dragon Heart.]
[Really?]
[Oh, really. It’s on the very last page.]
At Uther’s words, Cordelia quickly looked over the last page and smiled brightly like a flower in bloom.
[It’s true.]
Dragon Heart of the Ancient Dragon.
It was not in perfect condition. Dragon Heart was completely exposed to the destructive power that erupted from Ascalon, and was shattered into pieces.
But still, it was the dragon heart of the ancient dragon.
Each and every one of those pieces could be considered a powerful magical device with tremendous power.
[Hehe, hehehe.]
What can I do with this?
What can you make with these pieces?
I couldn’t help but smile just thinking about it. No wonder it was so abundant.
[Long live reality. Reality is the best.]
If it was a game, if it was Heroes Chronicles 2, even if you killed Malekith, you would only get some of the loot.
Scales of Malekith x3.
A piece of Malekith’s horn.
Claws of Malekith x2
Teeth of Malekith
That’s how it is said.
But the reality was not like that.
I was able to completely get my hands on everything Malekith had.
[Even if you get the full set, you still have some leftover, so you could just form a legion of dragon equipment?]
As Cordelia laughed and sent a message magic, Uther nodded immediately.
[That’s right, in the original, you would have to dig as a guild to make just one piece of mythical dragon equipment, but you should be able to easily make at least two pieces, right?]
[Aww, I love it.]
Cordelia was shaking with joy.
Mythical dragon equipment.
It can only be made from the byproduct of an ancient dragon, and is therefore the most expensive manufactured item.
‘Because his nickname was the Executioner’s Sword of Heroes.’
The only ancient dragon that directly appears in Heroes Chronicles 2 is Malekith.
Because of this, it was impossible to create mythical dragon equipment in single mode.
‘Because these aren’t materials that can be collected by just catching them once.’
However, it was not easy to make it in the multiplayer mode that opened after single player.
Malekith, who received various corrections in multi-mode, was a raid boss that even veteran guilds had difficulty dealing with, and he was always a boss that required preparation. Even if he was somehow defeated, he was as mean as in single-mode when it came to obtaining materials.
‘It’s something that a huge guild would have to work on for a year to make.’
That is why even Uther and Cordelia, the rottenest of the rotten, only knew of its existence but had never actually possessed it: the mythical dragon equipment.
‘But this is reality.’
When I caught Malekith, he gave me Malekith.
How many times would it have taken to kill Malekith in the original to get this amount?
A hundred times?
Two hundred times?
[Hehehe.]
[Hoo hoo hoo.]
Uther and Cordelia exchanged dark smiles and rejoiced once again.
Even if it wasn’t a mythical dragon equipment, it seemed like I could do anything with this amount.
‘It seems like the money will be huge.’
The byproducts of the Ancient Dragon were truly the pinnacle of rarity.
Even calling out a single small scale would be worth it.
[Are we really rich?]
[Not just rich, but a conglomerate… no, maybe an oil magnate?]
[Ha, I’m so happy. I’m so, so happy, really.]
Money can’t buy happiness?
No way. It was just a lack of money.
Cordelia was bubbling with happiness, and Jude turned to Carmen and Manuel and said.
“Thank you very much. Please convey my thanks to Kamael as well.”
“I will do so. And… as the report states, it will take a considerable amount of time just to transport the corpses of Malekith and his dragonflight from the island to the mainland. Please allow at least two days for this.”
“Yes, of course it would be natural for something like this.”
In fact, if all seven Southern Clans had come forward, it would have been over in three days, but Kamael did not trust the Seven Southern Clans.
The Sword of Carlos – The reason he was able to control the seven southern families using the Dragonslayer Sword Ascalon was because there was a common enemy called Malekith.
Now that Malekith had been defeated, it was impossible to completely trust the Seven Southern Houses.
‘Should I call in the Knights of the Holy Cross and handle it from start to finish… It would take time, but it seems like the most reliable method.’
Yuder nodded again and impulsively pinched Cordelia’s cheek while she was still daydreaming happily before looking back at Carmen and Manuel. The two quick-witted people didn’t waste any time.
“Then we will take our leave now. I hope you have a good time.”
Good time.
Carmen, who had laughed, quickly left with Manuel, and Yuder gave a silent applause to the two quick-witted people.
“Hey, Yuder.”
“Yes, Cordelia.”
Cordelia laughed hehehe, but instead of saying anything else, she crawled back onto the bed and sat down next to Uther. Then she closed her eyes tightly and snuggled into Uther’s arms.
The beating of our hearts and each other’s body temperature.
The smell of each other tickles the tip of our noses.
After kissing Cordelia’s head, Uther reached out and gently hugged her shoulder. Slowly closing his eyes, he felt Cordelia’s warmth and softness.
‘Good.’
Just being like this.
I think it would be okay to just relax like this for a few days.
Because I’ve been running breathlessly up until now.
The facilities and craftsmen needed to mass-produce dragon equipment, the legendary craftsmen who can create mythical dragon equipment, and various things that must be done with the money that will be earned in the future.
Everyone decided to forget about it for a while. With his mind cleared, Yuder simply focused on Cordelia, and Cordelia smiled again as she caressed Yuder’s chest.
“good night.”
“Oh, good night.”
It was still daytime, but it was still a long way to go until night.
Uther and Cordelia whispered to each other and fell into a deep sleep.
&
Three days later, in the morning.
Count Bayer and Count Chase looked at each other with satisfied faces.
Because after three days of heated debate, we managed to narrow down the list of candidates for grandchildren’s names to ten.
Five names for boys and five names for girls.
“Then shall we leave the name at this?”
“Okay, there are other important things too.”
The two people got up from their seats and walked towards the bustling streets of Argonne Port.
The purpose was to look at baby items that are as important as the baby’s name.
And at the same time.
Unlike Uther, who was still snoring on the bed, Cordelia, who had become more energetic on the outside, was following behind Kaisa and Scarlett in her own disguise. She was holding a large paper bag tightly to her chest.
‘Like a squirrel.’
A squirrel is running around with a lot of food in its mouth, afraid that someone might steal it.
As Scarlett smiled happily at her mother, Kaisa laughed and said,
“If you need more later, just tell me. I’ll show you where to get better stuff.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
When Cordelia shyly thanked him, Caesar smiled slyly—no, sinisterly.
“It will be a good study.”
study.
Very good study.
In fact, Scarlett didn’t quite agree with that.
This is because Caesar’s tastes were too wicked to be considered studying.
“Focus on the items I recommend rather than the ones Caesar recommends. Okay?”
“What is this? Dude, what you recommended is so bland.”
“What the hell is bland? And you, I told you to call me unnie, didn’t I? Huh? Didn’t I?”
Scarlett and Kaisa began to bicker, but Cordelia didn’t really interfere.
It was a scene I had seen every day for the past few days, and right now, all I wanted to do was quickly return to my accommodations.
“I know the way from here. Thank you so much for today. See you tomorrow.”
Cordelia greeted her friends – or rather her sisters – and walked towards the dormitory with brisk steps, while Scarlett and Kaisa, who had been arguing with each other, let out empty laughter.
“They say the quiet cat gets on the roof first.”
“I know.”
The Argon Ports, as well as the southern part of the country – no, the entire Kingdom of Seilun – were in an uproar over the news of the defeat of the Ancient Dragon.
One of the men who actually brought down Malekith had his mind elsewhere.
“Well, is it a good time?”
“It’s a good time.”
“You speak as if you have been through good times?”
“Hey, what do you mean by that? Huh? What does that mean?”
“You ask even though you know.”
As Scarlett snickered, Kaisa growled, and Cordelia, who lightly ignored the commotion behind her – no, she didn’t pay attention to it in the first place – hurried her steps.
And then about ten minutes later.
Cordelia returned to her room and quickly took out the contents of the paper bag.
Audiovisual materials recommended by Caesar and books recommended by Scarlett.
Cordelia opened the book Scarlett had recommended – the one with the red cover and yellow letters that read ‘Seventy Shades and a Deep’ – because she was particularly interested in the part she had glanced at in the bookstore earlier.
Gulp.
First, take a look around, then open the cover and focus on the words.
“Ugh.”
Cordelia, who was reading each word, let out a strange noise and her legs shook slightly.
My cheeks kept turning red and my breathing became ragged, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the words.
Because vivid pictures were drawn in my head.
Really? Really?
Is this really true?
Things I couldn’t even imagine.
That’s why they are so provocative.
Cordelia swallowed dry saliva again and imagined it for a moment.
The male protagonist is Yuder, and the female protagonist is Cordelia herself.
If we recreate the scene we just read in that state –
Cordelia screamed mentally. No, she had no choice but to scream out loud.
Because there was a knocking sound behind me.
“Cordelia? Can I come in?”
“Huh? Huh huh? Huh! Yeah!”
Cordelia, who closed the book with a thud, jumped up from her seat and almost fell over loudly, but it wasn’t for nothing that she heard the sound of an animal. Even in the midst of all that, she somehow managed to keep her balance by hiding the book behind her back, and she faced Uther while trying her best to appear calm—but with a bright red face and a cold sweat dripping down her face.
“Wh, what’s going on?”
Cordelia pretended as if nothing had happened, but it was only for a moment. As she looked at Uther’s face, the scenes she had just read began to fill her head.
And Uther, the man who knew what Cordelia was thinking just by looking at her eyes, coughed and looked away.
And that’s how I came across Caesar’s recommendation poking out from between the paper bags strewn across the table.
“Ahem.”
Pretend not to see me again.
I also pretend not to know about the thing Cordelia is desperately hiding behind her back.
Because privacy was an important law.
“Hey, Yudera?”
“Uh, yeah. That… uh. I got a call while I was out.”
“liaison?”
“Oh, it looks like some, but not all, will be arriving at the port soon.”
“Wow, really?”
When Cordelia asked with a blush on her face, Uther nodded and said.
“Okay, so let’s meet up sometime soon.”
Dwarven craftsmen living in Argonne Harbor.
The authors had been struggling to meet Uther and Cordelia for the past three days.
‘Please! Please just one scale! No, just two scales!’
‘If possible, some teeth too!’
Because it was none other than an ancient dragon.
For the dwarves, who were craftsmen from birth, these were truly dream materials.
“Then we will have that much of an advantage?”
“It wouldn’t be that advantageous.”
Uder wasn’t thinking in a one-dimensional way – simply raising the price and selling it.
I was thinking of getting much more than that.
“It looks completely evil.”
“Isn’t that a trustworthy smile?”
“Yeah, I totally like it.”
Dwarven craftsmen living in Argonne Harbor.
Before you meet the legendary craftsman who can create mythical dragon equipment, you have friends to cook – no, boil.
“Then I’ll wait outside.”
“Huh? Oh, uh. Yeah. I’ll be there soon.”
As soon as Uther left the room, Cordelia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid the red book under the bed.
And about an hour later.
A plot by Uther that would have a huge impact on not only the dwarven artisans of Argon Harbor, but also the seven southern houses – no, a deal has begun.
