Chapter 68 – Red Dragon’s Rare

Episode 68 – Red Dragon’s Rare

In the late morning, after leisurely waking up, washing up, and eating, I walked to the Knights’ Training Center accompanied by Becky.

Just as I was passing the central entrance, I ran into Isis coming from the opposite direction.

“Oh! Luan…”

“Sister. Where are you going?”

“Well, that’s because my father called me…” ” ” “And you?”

“I’m just taking a walk. Since returning from the snowy mountains, they haven’t let me go outside alone. “I have to move like this.”

It’s already been a week since Isis and I were exposed to White Break and became isolated.

The shock at that time must have been so severe that Ian ordered me to stay out. At least they said that if you want to go out, bring knights with you?

In order to let down his guard, he had nowhere to go anyway, so he just stayed in his room.

“Don’t think too badly of me. “Your father is doing that because he’s worried about you.”

“You’ll know that when you see it. Still, I can’t help but feel frustrated.”

“Huh… I understand too. Well, you said you were going for a walk, right? Sister, I won’t disturb you anymore. See you later then!”

“Yes? Wait a minute! Sister!”

Isis, who had been carrying on the conversation well, became strangely restless and quickly changed the topic and ran away.

As I watched the back disappear, I tilted my head in doubt.

“Is something really strange?”

Isis’s treatment of me has changed a bit since what happened in the hideout.

Sometimes, whenever we bump into each other like this, he gets so startled that he limps his words when talking and doesn’t even look at me properly.

Should I say that I am like an adolescent girl looking at the boy she has a crush on?

Of course, there is no way Isis would love me.

“Hmm…”

After drooling over my worries, I decided to listen to other people’s opinions.

“Becky.”

“Yes, master!”

“What do you think? About your sister’s her actions her. “Isn’t it a little different from usual?”

“Yes. Even when I look at it, it seems different. But if we put it that way, did you do more?”

“Me? Why me?”

“Young master is so different from what you heard. “He doesn’t look like an asshole at all?”

Have I relaxed it too much?

After just a week of hanging out with me, Becky completely adapted.

It must be very comfortable to be able to reveal your true feelings so casually.

‘Is it because I’m different?’

Now that I think about it, I don’t know much about Isis. At best, all I know is what I saw in the game, but even though the environment is different, it is very different between then and now.

People cannot always insist on one response, so it would be too selfish to force Isis to only show what I know.

‘Well, of course.’

The moment I shook my head, satisfied with my own conclusion, a rebuttal came to mind.

‘But weren’t you fine until you came out of hiding?’

The reaction changed completely not immediately after what happened in the hideout, but the next day.

If the cause was the exhaustion of cold air, it should have stayed that way ever since, so why did it suddenly change overnight?

As I was holding my head against the increasingly complicated situation, I finally decided to give up on the idea.

‘Hey, I don’t know.’

Although Isis’s reaction is strange, it is not a particularly serious problem, so it is comfortable to just ignore it.

Anyway, if you keep going, you will find out or tell on your own.

Well, no.

After thinking about it, I hurried on, and soon I arrived at the Knights’ Training Center, filled with sweat.

After receiving the knights’ greetings with a simple node, I proceeded and knocked on the office.

Knock.

-Come in.

A truly arrogant way to speak to the eldest son of a marquess. I opened the door and went inside, thinking I would use this as an excuse.

There, Deputy Knight Commander Orca was polishing the gauntlet gifted to him by his adoptive daughter, Elena.

He raised his head with a sour expression on his face, but when his eyes met mine, he flinched.

Then he suddenly wakes up.

“Oh, Master, what are you doing here?”

“Is this a place I shouldn’t come to?”

“No! That can’t be possible. Please sit here. “I will bring tea.”

“No. It’s okay. Keep listening while you work on your gauntlet. But it’s still enough.”

“No! Please sit down!”

As I continued to intentionally turn it, Orca forcibly grabbed my shoulder and made me sit on the sofa.

I thought for a moment about whether to grab her by the shoulders and threaten her, but since I didn’t have much time, I didn’t bother to risk it.

Soon, Orca served her coffee.

“Please eat here.”

“Huh. Thank you.”

“It was nothing. So what brought you here?”

In response to Orca’s question, I took a sip of the overly sweet coffee and opened my mouth, wondering whose tastes were reflected.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Please? What is it?”

“Let’s go to the snowy mountain with me tomorrow.”

Currently, I am banned from going out. Since you can’t go out without a driver, you want to ask Orca.

If he’s with us, there’s no need for him to have a bunch of knights hanging around.

But there is no way he will accept it easily.

“It’s not possible. “Are you still trying to go to the snowy mountain after something like that happened not long ago?”

“I have work to do. “It’s not dangerous, so don’t worry.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Hmm… Is this really impossible? No matter what happens?”

“Yes! Even if the sky falls, it’s impossible!”

Orca’s strong spirit was felt as he declared in a solemn voice, as if he were truly a model of a loyal knight.

I narrowed my eyes.

“Wouldn’t it be better to accept it?”

“There’s no use threatening me! “My will will not break!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Then can I tell others that Elena is pregnant?”

“Of course—yes? No, how could you do that… !”

Orca, who had been shouting proudly, belatedly understood the meaning of my words and was astonished.

His eyes are shaking as if an earthquake has occurred.

‘It’s definitely a shock.’

You made the adoptive daughter you raised since childhood pregnant!

If people find out, it’s obvious how much they will point fingers.

Even if it were not Orca’s trick but Elena’s reverse steering, the perception would not change much.

I mean smiled and whispered.

“Orca. It doesn’t matter how I knew. What’s important is that our deputy commander-in-chief dared to shamelessly violate his adoptive daughter. Isn’t that right?”

“Oh, no! That’s not it! Elena and I…”

“What isn’t it? So can I just say it? Huh? Orca’s child is growing inside Elena’s stomach? “You’re saying it’s not a problem since it was going to get caught someday anyway?”

“Well, that’s not it…” ” “Keuuu!”

Will you face people’s criticism, or will you bend your beliefs?

At that crossroads, I decided to help.

“Orca. Think of Elena and her child. Beliefs aren’t more important than family. Right?”

“Young master…”

“So what are you going to do? Did you ask me to help you with some crime? I’m just going to the snowy mountain. That’s all. “If you don’t get caught, nothing will happen.”

As if imitating her demon, the Orca gave in.

He turned his head to the floor.

“All right. “I will accompany you to the snowy mountain.”

“Good. It should have been done right away. Let’s not make things too complicated. “I know that because I told my father I was going to the downtown area to take a look.”

“… Yes.”

After hearing the answer, I got up from the sofa.

And just before leaving, I took out the box I had prepared from my subspace pocket.

“Take this.”

“This…”

“It’s baby stuff. “I put things like toys and shoes in there.”

“Yes? Why did you…”

“I think it’s just a return for a favor. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Then I’ll go.”

A bad person doing a good thing is more impressive than a good person doing a good thing.

I left the office, leaving behind Orca’s touched eyes.

‘Preparations are now complete.’

Tomorrow, we will target Red Dragon’s rare.

*

The next day, Orca and I packed up our winter clothes and headed to the snowy mountain.

I was standing in front of the red flower field I had discovered just before the white break the previous day, tracing the trail.

“Young master. Are you here?”

“Wait a minute. Because I’m looking for it. This way!”

Moving along familiar terrain, we were able to find the entrance to Lair in just 30 minutes.

It looked like an ice wall because it was completely frozen due to the snow that had fallen for a long time, but when it was broken, a half-collapsed wall appeared.

Beyond that, you can see a hallway decorated with luxurious interior.

“Young master. “Where on earth is this?”

“Be nervous. “This is Red Dragon’s rare.”

Orca’s eyes widened at my words.

I was so shocked that my eyeballs seemed to pop out of my eye sockets at any moment.

“No, Red Dragon? Are you going to go into a place like that? It’s not possible! “Let’s run away!”

“Calm down. Would you want to die if you were me? Don’t worry, Red Dragon already died a long time ago. You just have to be careful of the guardians the dragon left behind.”

Bringing Orca was just to kill those guardians.

After hearing my explanation, Orca finally seemed to regain her senses and stopped fussing. However, once the surprise subsided, doubts arose this time.

“But how do you know that? “I’ve never even heard of it from the head of the family.”

“I saw it in an ancient book in the warehouse. “I discovered it by chance.”

“Huh! “You’re amazing.”

“I was impressed, so I quickly took the lead. Because other people might see and follow.”

“Yes! All right. “Leave it to me!”

After a brief conversation, we slowly entered the hallway.

‘Luckily, I don’t think I noticed.’

I followed behind Orca and breathed a soft sigh of relief.

There is an error in my explanation.

The question is, how did you know the location of this place? Even if the entrance is written in an ancient book, that is no reason.

Because, as you can see, this was just a hallway, not a formal entrance.

The entrance is actually at the top of the snowy mountain.

To be exact, in a crater that is covered in ice and can no longer be found.

In other words, this place was originally a volcano, but due to Red Dragon’s research, all the heat was taken away and it turned into a snowy mountain.

And what I was aiming for was the result of that research.

While I was alone with my thoughts, we went quite deep and eventually came across one of Lair’s guards.

The guardian was a golem.

A 5-meter-tall figure made of black metal came toward us with heavy movements, emitting light from its eye sockets.

“Young master! It’s the enemy! “Go away!”

Orca hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

He didn’t flinch at all even when facing a golem that was extremely intimidating.

All he does is gauge the level, then nimbly digs in, pulls out his brilliant sword, and hacks up the golem’s entire body.

Before 10 seconds have passed, both of the golem’s legs are cut off and its core is pierced.

Coo!

The golem fell helplessly.

The light shining in the eyes he goes out and is reduced to a mere lump of metal.

‘After all, it’s an orca.’

I bowed my head in satisfaction.

Although it was expected, Orca’s power is not lacking at all to attack Rare. I think we can just go straight to the laboratory where the elixir is.

I took the remains of the golem and continued to move to the deep place with Orca at the forefront.

The guardians I met so far were diverse.

There were all kinds of magical creatures, starting with golems, gargoyles, living armor, etc.

“This is huge. Perhaps because it is a dragon, both the materials used in the guardian and the level of magic engraved are excellent.”

“That’s better. “I have to take this and sell it to the magic tower.”

After carrying out the strategy for about 2 hours and earning a lot of extra income, we finally arrived in front of the door that was expected to be the laboratory.

“This room… Something is unusual. “I have to be careful.”

“Okay. Open the door.”

“Yes!”

Contrary to my worries, the door opened easily.

And the moment Orca fully opened the door, an intense light exploded before her eyes.

Paaaaat!

A huge amount of light swept through my surroundings, and when my vision returned to its original state, I was transported to an unfamiliar space.

I can’t see where the orca has gone.

Instead, there is just a woman sitting a little away in the front.

Fiery red hair and eyes.

Her beautiful off-white color and well-toned, well-toned body she was very attractive, but the pair of horns growing on her head, the long lizard tail, and the vertically slit pupils revealed that she was not human.

A magical creature born through a dragon’s tooth and loyal to its creator for its entire life.

‘Dragon disease.’

I expected it, but it looks like I have to go through the final test unconditionally.

Since only one main character moves in the game, I thought that if I sent Orca first, I wouldn’t get caught up in the ordeal, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

“Tch! “I was just wondering.”

In addition, in normal trials, mercenary soldiers of the same level as the intruder who entered the place are summoned.

But the problem is that no matter how weak the dragon soldier is, his level is at least 200. I have to fight against a dragon soldier whose level is as high as 100.

At that moment, when he clicked his tongue, Yongahyeong pointed his spear and declared vaguely.

“Intruder. Prove your worth.”

Glory will be given to those who prove their worth!

The red dragon Vulcan was lingering over research that was not completed until the moment of his death, and designed this system.

I hope that someone who has overcome the ordeal will complete his research.

‘I will complete that research.’

Although it may be a little different from what I wanted.

“Come on, I’ll rape you.”

For your information, this dragon’s body was created based on the Creator.
