Chapter 488 – Dragon Building a Nest (2)

Is it because she is treating Carla as her slave? Although the employees acknowledged my achievements, they showed a slightly reluctant attitude.

Their attitude changed completely after this battle.

I usually didn’t show it, but if I felt a strange reluctance… Do you feel like you are really showing respect that comes from the bottom of your heart?

“Hmm. Is it because you saw me fighting with Ajidahaka? And at the end, it turned into a dragon.”

Isn’t strong power the way to command respect? But Carla smiled awkwardly and shook her head at my words.

“Uhm. “I think it’s because everyone knows how much my master cares for me and Tarla, and how much I like him.”

“Is it.”

That could be because the garden was open to view from anywhere in the mansion. I nodded and went into the bedroom and closed the door.

Perhaps because the battle was so intense, I felt a rush of fatigue as soon as I thought I was in a safe place. First, I threw myself on the bed.

Then, one by one, the women naturally started to cling to me. The hatchlings were the only ones wandering around the bed awkwardly.

“It’s Elele. “Go rest on the sofa over there with the other kids.”

“Yes!”

Hatchlings rushing to the sofa. I looked at that figure and opened my mouth.

“Well then, since I’m tired, let’s clean up the shashak and get some sleep. Let me start with…”

It was around the time I said that.

Shake!

The closed door opened, and Iona, looking fresher than usual, rolled in, rolling forward.

“Iona appears!”

“Ah, professor. It’s been a while. “I heard you were sleeping, but she just woke up?”

“Yep! I woke up when the maids lifted me up! “Anyway, looking at everyone lying around like this, how did they manage to knock her down?”

“That’s right. “I was going to tell you what happened, and it just happened to work out.”

I smiled at the thought that I had saved myself the trouble of explaining it multiple times, and there was an empty seat… There is no He just pointed above me and continued.

“Professor, please come here too.”

“… You know, you know. “Do you mind if I take a sip, Yandel?”

Iona is looking at me with a very dangerous expression. She was still mentally exhausted, but her physical fatigue had been reset once she awakened her dragon mode, so she nodded her head willingly.

“Please.”

“Hurray! In fact, she was in a bit of a dangerous state because she drank too much of Yandel student blood a while ago! “If I had told you to wait until tomorrow, you might have experienced withdrawal symptoms!”

I wish you would stop talking about my blood as if it were some kind of dangerous medicine.

***

In order, Iona, Carla, and I each finished our stories.

“Therefore… Professor Iona absorbed all of Vlad’s true blood, right? Carla recovered her enlightenment that she had put off for a long time and ascended to the rank of a high-ranking mage, officially inheriting Lindel Hight’s legacy. … Does this make sense?”

“There, there. “I think it’s more fascinating that student Yandel brought out the essence within him and made Fafnir’s power his own.”

“No, but think about it, Professor. You’ve already absorbed Vlad’s power, which is said to be the closest to transcendence, right? Not succession, but absorption. “After the digestion is over, won’t the professor become Jinjo?”

“Hmm… You can probably get the minimum qualifications. In the first place, even vampires don’t know what a true ancestor is! But… That’s right. “It may be true in terms of being the master of all blood!”

It is said that if she gains her full power, Iona will be able to interfere with the blood of all living things. It’s not the blood that was spilled outside. It refers to the blood flowing through the body.

Of course, a transcendental person with extreme physical control… So, it won’t work on Sword Masters or Archmages, but it will be able to interfere with everything below that, with only a slight difference.

“… So you don’t know if it’s true or not?”

“But, just like that. It’s just that you’ve become better at handling blood, right? I can’t create miracles like an archmage, and I can’t cut things that can’t be cut like a sword master. You can just do what you used to do better… “Is this really a transcendent person?”

If you say it that way, it seems correct.

The reason the transcendent is called the transcendent is not because he has power that transcends humans. This is because he has not only reached the pinnacle of his field, but has also surpassed the limits.

As I was slowly nodding my head, Iona curled up on top of me and placed her mouth on the nape of my neck before pausing and saying.

“What if? “If a Yandel student were a vampire, he might have become a true ancestor, right?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You’re saying that you brought out the power that was dormant within yourself and embodied it? In the vampire industry, that’s like a long-held secret wish! This means that the source of the blood has been found! Do you know how many hundreds of years Vlad wasted just trying to be a Yandel student?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, Vlad was also someone who studied the dragon factor in his blood and ultimately wanted to become a dragon.

Of course, I was a homunculus made by grinding up a whole ancient dragon, and Vlad was born with diluted blood for several generations… Anyway, the road was the same.

“Hmm. Let’s just say I was able to do it because I was good at it.”

“That’s it. Yandel’s students are free to do whatever they want… Why does blood taste the same? “I thought something would change now that I’ve awakened my source.”

“Well, I’m in a polymorph state now.”

Polymorph is the power to achieve a transformation so complete that it is possible to create children even between different races. The taste of blood can’t be different.

“I’ll let you drink a little later, even in your original state!”

“Really?! “Can’t I buy it later?!”

Iona is shaking her body in joy. She looked at her Carla, enjoying the sensation of softness being pressed here and there.

“Carla? “You haven’t said anything since a while ago. What’s going on?”

“That is…”

“Carla, you have also become a high-level wizard. “She should be celebrated, so why is she so dead?”

“Master… Please listen and don’t be angry. “I have an important story to tell.”

“Have I ever been angry at you? “What’s going on?”

“In fact…”

After hesitating for a while, Carla closed her eyes and shouted.

“Actually, my slave imprint was removed when I became a high-ranking wizard!”

“… “Do you know?”

That’s because the connection is broken, so even if you try, you won’t know.

Carla opened her mouth wide as if she was even more shocked by my calm reaction.

“Well, I’m no longer your master’s slave?! “Master, are you okay?!”

“Huh.”

“Why?!”

“Why?… “When do you think I stopped thinking of you like a slave?”

“Tsk!”

He said several times that he would be freed from slavery, and even offered to clear his name and restore his family… Nevertheless, due to her own trauma, Carla insisted on remaining her slave.

She probably knows this well, so she probably has nothing to say.

“Good. “Let’s just throw away the slavery that has come to this.”

“S-No way… To bring in another slave besides me… ?”

“No, that’s not it… Now, the only evil spirit left is the noble reign, right? But unlike other evil spirits, he is well sealed in the basement of the academy.”

At H&A, Rahim steadfastly maintains the seal of his reign even when the player enters his fourth year.

Of course, the seal is forcibly released on the last day of the fourth year… I don’t know if this is allowed in the game or if Rahim’s mental strength is actually exhausted at that time.

Anyway, what is certain is that at least we don’t have to deal with Gohan Reign right now. In other words, you can build your strength over the next few years.

Of course, there would be no need to twist and fight like we do now. You will be able to defeat it really easily.

… So, I started thinking about the future.

“Later, Carla, you gave birth to my child, and at that time, her status was a slave. “She said the child would naturally become a slave.”

“Oh.”

Carla opened her ruby ​​eyes wide as if she had never thought of that.

Is it true that she relieved her obsession by becoming a high-level wizard? If it had been like before, she would have been a little more forceful, but Carla obediently agrees.

“That’s right. “In the first place, I am by your side and serving you as my master, so what does my social status matter?”

“That’s right. The emotions of the person involved are more important than the views of those around them… Wait, what did you say?”

“Whew. All right. As you said, master, please reinstate me to my original status. However, a new slave engraving will be engraved.”

“What do you mean, Carla…”

The slave status will be thrown away, but the imprint will be engraved again. I don’t understand what you’re saying.

Seeing my embarrassed appearance, Carla smiles brightly and gently pushes Iona away. Again, I smiled and changed her seat.

I don’t know what I noticed, but it’s a bit odd that she has an exciting face.

As she was slightly nervous, Carla, who sat with her butt against my lower abdomen, floated a small magic circle in one of her hands.

Ugh-

Not only is the structure complex, but the mana involved also appears to be considerable. What’s unique about it is that although it’s clearly a magic circle I’ve never seen before, its shape is very familiar, and it’s being reassembled in real time.

Yes. Karla is currently improving her existing slave imprinting magic.

“I’ll ask you first… “What has changed?”

“We made it strong so it wouldn’t break even if we used a lot of magic attribute like this. And you can hide the engraving. “I can make it visible only to you and me.”

“… And?”

“Is this the end? Oh, the location of the engraving will be a little different.”

Carla raised the corners of her mouth and placed the magic circle on her hand on her lower abdomen.

“I think I’ll like it here…” “What do you like, master?”

“…”

She naturally tried to put her hand on Carla’s waist, but when she felt her gaze coming from somewhere, she slowly turned her head.

There were hatchlings there, holding her breath, peeking their faces out over her sofa.

Hmm. I should have sent the mites to another room.

“… “Can you answer me later instead of now?”

“Of course!”

Carla nodded with the brightest expression she had seen today.
