Chapter 310 – The New King (7)
Trudge.
Warwolf walked over helplessly and sat across from me.
Although it looked quite haggard, the hidden power within it was not hidden, and it was fully felt.
“Stripe?”
“Yes that’s right.”
War Wolf greeted me with a slight bow of his head.
Tan from the side looked at him and slightly frowned, as if he didn’t like it.
“Did you say that you are Kraine-sama’s successor?”
“Yes.”
Released some mana.
Because my mana is Kraine’s, dragon’s mana.
Werewolf’s expression hardened slightly.
[I can definitely feel Kraine-sama’s mana, huh…]
I read his thoughts using my dragon eyes.
However, from the middle, the back sentence was not visible as if there was noise.
“It is a strange feat.”
“I was one of Cryne-sama’s closest aides, and after Cryne-sama’s death, I renovated myself to protect his people.”
“Right. As long as it is said, there is not much time, tell me why the chief came to the center of the opponent’s forces.”
“It’s just nice to see you too, Mr. Kim Si-woo.”
War Wolf looked me in the eye.
“Please come to our resistance.”
“What are you talking about Who Wolf!”
Tan shouted before I could answer.
“Siwoo-nim is not the one to tell you to come. Be polite.”
To the resistance, I am their master and king.
Also, although not as much as the ruling force, the resistance force is also an opposing force.
It is nonsense to hand over the head of one’s faction to an opponent.
However, the leader of the opponent, Warwolf, came all the way here alone.
The opponent also showed sincerity by coming directly to the enemy.
“Tan, calm down for a moment. What is the reason?”
The other party also took the risk and there is no way they don’t know that it is a ridiculous demand.
But it must be that important.
Also, Warwolf’s thoughts, which were not cut off, bothered him.
“…”
[Can you see it?]
After taking a look at Tan’s eyes, War Wolf’s thoughts began to appear.
[I’m sorry, but this is something I can only say to Kim Si-woo, Craine’s successor.]
‘Tell me.’
I sent a telegram to Werewolf.
[I want to be guaranteed that you will keep the secret.]
‘I’ll keep my secret with my name and Kreine-sama’s name.’
[Currently, we are protecting his descendants under Kryne-sama’s command.]
It was a bombshell declaration.
[This is the truth.]
Yongan’s lie detector also responded to his thoughts.
∴
I asked War Wolf for a moment.
The War Wolf plans to stay in Ogre Village under the protection of the Guardian Force.
Surveillance rather than protection would be an accurate expression.
“My God, Kreine had a child hidden…”
“Did you not know?”
“Yeah, it’s the first time.”
Riel, who is usually not surprised, was astonished.
“But wouldn’t that be a problem? Even the fights that took place here wouldn’t have happened if that baby dragon was there.”
Yuri seemed to be thinking about something.
As she said, the conflict in this area was caused by the ruler’s subtitle.
If there is no king, the prince becomes the king.
“There must be something else inside.”
Nayoung said.
It was true, but nobody knew what it was.
“Is there some connection between the purpose of the resistance and the reason for hiding the dragon…”
“Hmm…”
The purpose of the resistance is to develop the power to defend oneself even without a dragon.
Then…
“Isn’t it because the reason to develop the power to defend oneself disappears when the dragon starts ruling again?”
She gave them some pretty good guesses.
“Even if the guess is correct, isn’t there any reason to reveal it to you?”
“Um… Is that so?”
You must be hiding it. Why would you tell me?
I could have a bad heart because I was afraid that my position as successor would be threatened.
Why did he, a resistance force, only inform me of the existence of Hetzling, which he had been hiding until now, and call me to the stronghold of his followers?
“Something like raising dragons as slaves to rule over here…”
“If so, they would have already become the dominant force.”
“Yes? I guess…”
Yuri’s conspiracy theory is ridiculous.
“Does your sister know anything? If you were Kraine’s closest friend, you’d be familiar with your sister.”
“I can tell you what kind of monster he is. Um…Just and sincere. He never neglected his training and was incredibly loyal to Kryne.”
“Hmm…”
Then, should we assume that there are no bad intentions?
“Could it be?”
Nayoung said.
“A dragon is a king here.”
“Yes?”
“So… Um… I wonder if he gave such an order because he wanted his children to live a little more freely?”
“That…”
I thought it was ridiculous, but I immediately remembered what kind of person Nayoung was.
In the game, I attacked Nayoung, who was the heroine.
Four major guilds representing Korea, the world’s most powerful country.
And the second daughter of the guild leader.
If you compare it to the world you originally lived in, the three Xs cannot be compared.
The level where the chairman could barely hold out his business card.
As long as she lives, she has received benefits that anyone would envy, but she is a character who has been in bondage and wandered around.
From her point of view, it wasn’t that ridiculous.
“Well… I just thought it might be like this.”
“Okay.”
“The exact thing will be known only after following the werewolves to the resistance.”
“As expected.”
No matter how many hypotheses and conspiracy theories are raised here, it is impossible to specify anything.
∴
“Nonsense!”
“It’s too dangerous to go there yourself!”
After receiving a report from the gathering of the chiefs, I announced my decision to head for the resistance.
Of course, the patriarchs objected.
“Siwoo-nim, how about thinking about it again? If something happens to you, there will be no turning back.”
A war that has not stopped for decades.
And the successor of the former ruler.
From their point of view, I am the savior and hero who will end this war.
If something happens to me like that, there will be no turning back and the war that kills each other’s people will continue.
“But nothing will change if I continue to stay here.”
“Why can’t anything change?”
“Of course it will change. Because the country has gained power. But that doesn’t make any sense. What was your guardian forces seeking? Isn’t it to keep the peace until the king comes back?”
“… That’s right.”
“Then at least there is no point in fighting any more with the insurgents. You wouldn’t want it either.”
“But even if you go to the resistance, there is no guarantee that the conflict will stop.”
The chieftain of the Orc tribe retorted.
“No, I guarantee it.”
The chiefs who tried to say something at my words fell silent.
“Believe me, your king, and trust me.”
First of all, it seems good not to inform the guardians about Hetzling.
Because something is not certain.
Even whether Hetzling is real right now.
“…Then why don’t you lead the bodyguard?”
“No, only me and my lovers go to the resistance. We need to make sure we don’t create a sense of intimidation.”
It would be nice if we could finish the alliance or war with the resistance forces while we were gone.
“It’s already been decided.”
“… All right. I will follow you.”
∴
Following the werewolves, we came out of the ogre tribe’s village.
We were riding a different world version of the horse and heading towards the resistance.
“Oh… “
Yuri’s voice of admiration came from behind.
I was worried that I couldn’t ride a horse, but it must have been because the horse ran well on its own.
Whoa Wolf.”
“Yes.”
“I have something to ask you.”
“Yes, please feel free to ask.”
“They say you want to develop the strength to defend yourself.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“What kind of existence am I, the successor to you guys?”
“What kind of existence is this… You are the one I have been waiting for for a long time.”
“You’ve been away for too long.”
“Yes, 50 years in this section of the Lost King has taken away our parents and siblings.”
“…”
The chieftain of the Orc tribe, the first I visited after coming to this world, also told me that he was a bit resentful of me.
“Of course, I am not blaming or blaming Siwoo. Because there is someone else to resent.”
“Is it the ruling power?”
“Yes, this world is balanced by several dragons. Even if Kreine-sama passed away right away and the ruler’s seat was vacant, it wasn’t such a serious problem.”
“Isn’t it a big deal? As far as I know, there are quite a few territorial battles between dragons.”
“Yes. However, in the past 50 years, there have been no problems caused by external forces. Till now.”
It’s still
“Anyway, we are looking forward to you.”
“What.”
“We and the Guardians have a common enemy, the ruling power, but here we have different ideologies.”
“Tell me.”
“Do you want to subdue the ruling power, or do your best to defend until the successor of Kraine-sama comes?”
“Right.”
“They see the ruling power as their ally as well. That’s why we only defend against their attacks and carry out only minimal attacks.”
“Then what do you want?”
“It is a decision.”
“Is it…”
It is a decision about whether or not to subdue the guardian forces.
“Any decision we make will be followed.”
“Right. Are you going to see Hetzling now?”
“Yes.”
After that, the conversation stopped and we continued running over the meadow.
