Chapter 491 – Dragon Building a Nest (5)

As the sun rises, the mansion slowly becomes noisy. People must be waking up.

One thing that was unusual was that you could even hear sounds from the street that you couldn’t possibly hear from here.

Since yesterday, if you wanted to know everything that happened in Yeongju Castle, you could know it. I don’t know the principle. I just feel it.

Carla also has a similar sense, but that’s because she is connected to Lindelheit’s old magic.

I can get the same sensation when I’m connected, but since I only have permission to use it and not the owner, it’s a sensation I can’t normally feel.

Nevertheless, we talked together last night and came up with a few hypotheses because it covered the entire Yeongju Castle…

The most powerful one among them is that it was because I became a dragon.

This is not simply because becoming a dragon has made your senses more sensitive. Isn’t it a bit strange for a dragon to sense the entire lord’s castle, let alone a single mansion?

However, if it is your own territory, the story is different.

It’s a convenient path to anyone’s eyes, but it’s not uncommon to hear stories of people avoiding it because it’s the dragon’s territory, or taking the wrong path, incurring the dragon’s wrath, and meeting a terrible ending.

Well, the dragons on the continent of Aurelia are particularly fond of humans, so they ask them to offer a human of their choice as a toll once every 100 years.

There is also a story that says that he trespassed into the dragon’s territory and ended up giving birth to 7 sons and 8 daughters, enjoying a long life, and living happily ever after…

In any case, dragons actually have a kind of extrasensory sense about their territory.

And this permanent castle is my territory. It wouldn’t be surprising at all if I, who had become a real dragon, showed the same senses as Carla.

“Anyway, it’s my territory…”

House. Area. Nest. Nest. Rare.

You can call it anything. What is certain is that I, who had only wandered around or had temporary shelters borrowed from others, now have my own place.

When I think about that, I feel motivated for no reason. I was only going to do a cursory restoration, but I think it would be okay to try a little harder.

“Good. “Let’s go.”

After stretching lightly, I went back inside the mansion. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw women gathered together as if they were waiting for me.

“What. “Have you all been waiting here?”

“Yeah. Since you were just staring at the sky for a while, I gave you time to be alone. “Please praise me quickly.”

Pay off your debt! Elisha spread out and covered her own mouth. However, the eyes that appeared above were smiling so happily that I wonder if there was some meaning behind them.

“Okay, okay. Thank you for your concern.”

“Hehe. “Then can I ask you now?”

“What?”

“I wonder what you were thinking.”

“Oh, that. Not a big deal. “Do you remember what we said yesterday?”

“Are you saying you want to hold Karla and Tarla together?”

“When did I say that?! “Stop slandering!”

“Then you won’t do it?”

“… “The idea was to listen to Tarla’s story.”

Honestly, I want to do it.

“Hmm. Anyway, not that. The hypothesis is that I became a real dragon and that my extra senses came into play because this was my territory. “I went outside and thought about it, and it seemed like it was right.”

“So?”

“I thought I’d try to do it right. “How about paying extra wages to the people in the punitive forces and completely remodeling it?”

“… The idea is good. Since they are all highly skilled workers, construction costs and schedules can be drastically shortened. However, they are people with strong pride. I can only help because I feel sorry for the restoration work, which is all about pretending to be a punitive force, falling into a trap, and cutting off a few miscellaneous people. But won’t it be difficult to ask you to do extra work?”

“Elisha is right. At first glance, I can see that most of them are familiar faces. Some will gladly help their master, but most will be displeased. Of course, the current owner could use force to intimidate me… “There’s no reason to make enemies like that.”

“No, the only options are to force him to do it or threaten him with force? “What on earth are you looking at me for?!”

“…”

“…”

Elisha and Iris look this way in silence. The two priests tilted their heads once to the left and again to the right, as if remembering something, before opening their mouths.

“She’s a fool who thinks she’s the best… ?”

“He seems like an evil aristocrat with a lot of power and money.”

“It’s really too much!”

Let’s kill God. Dragon slayer. One who is loved by all gods. A genius wizard. Savior of the continent. The second coming of the warrior, etc.

“There are so many good words like this, so why use such old images…” !”

“Look at that, master.”

Iris stretches out her little fingers. At the end was a huge portrait hanging on the stairs of the central lobby.

I have a very unlucky-looking expression, perhaps because I drew it from a picture of the cycle of life instead of looking at my own face.

The priests gathered in front of him one by one were praying. They were priests of the Just Light Church and the Circulating Life Church.

“What is this?”

Was there a hint of playfulness in my embarrassed voice? Helena folded her hands in front of her to her chest and raised her prayers, her pitiful voice erupting.

“Ah! The fearful One who made the most devout priests bow down and dishonored the Lord and His first daughter… !”

“It’s so strange when you say it like that!”

It’s like a crazy man who forcibly overpowered priests and violated gods and saints!

Iona giggles at a scream that isn’t my scream and clings to her shoulder.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. “Isn’t that Yandel student always a cool hero to me?”

“Professor Iona… !”

“So we should hurry up and punish this evil vampire, right?”

“…”

I never thought they would take advantage of this moment and request to play today. But honestly, it looked fun, so she nodded.

“Ha… Anyway, to get back to the point, I’m not trying to force you to do it. “We are going to do it in a way that only those who will do it will receive the right compensation.”

“Uhm. “I know you have a lot of money, but I don’t think they care about money, do you?”

“I think so too. So, I will give money to people who ask for it, but… “People who want different things should be given different things.”

It would be okay to at least give a special lecture to wizards. I heard that a dragon that uses eloquence teaches diction, but doesn’t he do this? That’s not a wizard.

Of course, just because I teach you doesn’t mean there’s anything special. It’s very difficult, and it’s not a magic that can be done with help from others.

But there is something called Dragon Premium, right?

“Master… How much are you willing to sacrifice? .”

“Uh huh. We’re good for each other. And there are probably some people who will do it even if they know it? Anyway, this is your chance to have a serious conversation with me. “For the first time in 300 years, a living dragon has appeared. There are so many questions to ask.”

The article… There’s nothing we can do. To be exact, there should be one, but there isn’t anything that’s eye-popping enough to make you quit.

“Ah, now that things have come to this, I guess I’ll have to bring Senior Fei over too.”

The scale is large, but isn’t it about making something? It’s okay if you have pay and can help. Nothing bad will happen. It’s safe now, so there won’t be any problem if I call you.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I told the knights that Fei would take care of their equipment? If you are satisfied with your current equipment, you should unlock a few of the sword skills found in Fafnir’s rare.

I was dumbfounded as to why I had it if I wasn’t going to learn it… You saved it up to use it like this?

As I look up at the sky, I catch a glimpse of Fafnir flashing his teeth and giving a thumbs up.

Thanks dad… !

As I was saying thank you to myself, Helena and Solari, who were thinking about something, opened their mouths.

“The priests of the Gwangmyeong Church can move at our command. Perhaps the circulating priests of Life will help us without much resistance.”
“But the kids from other churches will be different! “Even if you have gratitude and respect, everyone has a lot of work to do, so even unpaid volunteer work will be difficult!”

The help given by priests is slightly different from that of others. Because it will contribute to external things rather than the work itself.

Priests would be good at consecrating a completed building, blessing the land or business, even if it is not a building, as well as comforting and treating the soon-to-be returning residents of the territory.

However, as the two said, it is unclear whether they will remain and help except for the Church of Light and the Church of Life.

After thinking for a moment, Helena opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.

“I have something in mind, brother.”

“What is it?”

“You know very well that you are now a living saint, right?”

“Well, I know that much.”

“Other denominations also value you, brother. It’s just that there are so many places that have been ruined by this war, and everyone is as busy as they are capable, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”

“I know. So, although it was a bit disappointing for the priests, we were planning to let those who wanted to go go…”

“There is no need for that. “At this point, I will hand out the holy relics one by one.”

“A relic? “We don’t have anything like that.”

“First of all, could you take out the staff you were using before, brother?”

Although I tilted my head, I did as I was told and took out the staff I had previously used. Helena looked at this carefully… I just broke it. Also in 3 pieces.

“Huh?!”

Since it’s not used anymore, it doesn’t matter if it breaks, but since it was used as a substitute for a blunt weapon, it’s about the same strength as an iron weapon?!

As I was trembling from the strength of her strength to bend iron with her bare hands, Helena held out the remains of her staff.

What. Does this mean that if you don’t want to end up like this, you should cooperate on your own?

It was an inexplicable action on her part, but all her doubts were answered by the words that came from Helena’s mouth, still smiling benevolently.

“Now we have three relics.”

“?”

“Let’s say it was broken fighting in yesterday’s great battle.”

“!!!”

“Everyone will be happy and we will place it in a corner of the main shrine.”

“…”

This is the idea of ​​a saint born and raised in a temple… ?
