Chapter 511 – Dragon Who Dreams of Embers -1-

As we talked, the conversation flowed, and we ended up here.

“A marriage proposal?!”

“Yes!”

Only then did Jane find out the identity of the ring on her daughter’s ring finger.

From that moment on, I put aside the incomprehensible desire for knowledge that I could see spirits.

Because another mystery has appeared.

“Roman, why do you have to…?”

“Because! It’s because the mother and daughter are pretty.”

– Hiss!

“He’s getting more shameless day by day…”

Jane smiled at her daughter’s cuteness and looked away.

As she was putting the food in her bowl, she was spinning her head in a rapid motion.

‘What kind of romance novel protagonist… No, I heard that romance books don’t sell these days if written like this…’

It was difficult to understand that even though her parents had given permission, they proposed separately.

The era of empire and the world where male superiority is rampant does not allow us to accept that statement one-dimensionally.

Roman is a platinum adventurer who even the high-ranking nobles of the empire are concerned about.

This is a beautiful daughter who was born with talent and raised upright in a family that didn’t support her no matter how well she treated her.

Jane, who has lived her entire life as a mixed race person in the middle of nowhere, felt like her common sense was shattered every time she heard a story about Roman.

Do people with something unusual have different thoughts or positions?

Many thoughts crossed my mind.

Still.

Still. Isn’t it a good thing to do this or that?

‘···Our Alice is truly blessed.’

From Jane’s perspective, she had no choice but to conclude her thoughts like that.

I am certain that Roman is not a person who will go astray to the bad side, since I came here to ask for permission before.

So much so that he said he would pay the price if Dorian and himself were wrong.

Anyway, the unknown protagonist came out of the small room with Dorian, holding a bottle of alcohol.

Haha!!! I was always worried about when I would open this. Thanks to Roman’s wise choice, I was able to avoid leaving it unattended for decades.”

“As much as I open the precious liquor. Next time, I’ll bring a good one.”

Dorian laughed at the top of his lungs, saying that he would not refuse that but would look forward to it.

It was a grand lunch that could not have been considered a meal at an ordinary home.

The most important point began from the moment Roman and Dorian shared a drink.

“You mean a day off?”

“Yes. If you tell me a good date, I will plan to have the wedding there.”

“How can we do that? Please tell us at any time, and we will adjust it together with Jane!”

“The sooner we can, the better. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do it tomorrow.”

“Umm…”

If I said I would definitely do it tomorrow, it would have been difficult.

No matter how much work I do, I don’t even have clothes for the ceremony, so I have to prepare.

“We are planning to send wedding invitations to our acquaintances, aiming for a day when the two of you are available. There is nothing we can do if the rest of us are busy and cannot come.”

Everyone in the group expressed their approval to Roman’s words.

Dorian and Jane gulped at the weight pressing down on their shoulders.

Because it means that the platinum adventurer, the saint of the church, and the connections of the nobles here control time according to their own plans.

“Oh, and I don’t plan on accepting any gifts or material for the wedding. However, I plan to prepare a proper meal, so you can invite as many friends as you want.”

Roman’s words reminded Dorian of some of the polite students who attended the Martial Arts Guild. Jane thought of quiet people she could call friends at the academy.

Still, the couple hesitates, so they ask again.

Because I am enjoying the luxury of being able to jump out of bed and say it’s just a dream.

“Still, aren’t great people coming…?”

“You don’t have to worry. There is no big person there who wants to be treated based on title or lineage.”

I will try to find a ceremony hall and accommodations that are as spacious and clean as possible.

Roman, who said he wanted to come in peace, grabbed the bottle and graciously filled Dorian’s empty glass.

Likewise, after filling Roman’s glass. Dorian, having emptied her contents, looked at Jane with her determined face.

“Jane.”

“Yes, honey.”

As for Dorian, she can keep up with all the dates. The problem is Jane, who works in research.

The couple put their heads together and talked for a moment, then showed Roman a desk calendar.

“Then how about this date?”

····

The date has also been decided. Everyone seemed excited and excited.

Right after lunch, she went out together to look at Edelman.

Even though it was a town without anything special, what did it matter? We crowded around, grabbed places that weren’t that great, and had fun until the night.

Since I had to leave for the federal government tomorrow, I wandered around without stopping to enjoy the new place called Edelman.

And the night flew like an arrow.

Alice’s room was too small for everyone to sleep, but she spread a lot of blankets on the floor and there was enough space for everyone to sleep together if they snuggled up and hugged each other.

Jane seemed to be speechless due to the mysterious distance she was seeing for the first time.

It was all too familiar to everyone except Atra.

We all spent time chatting, as if we were having a slumber party at a friend’s house.

Jane also participated and slowly built intimacy with the group of women.

How long has it been?

The girls who had been running around non-stop all day started yawning one by one.

Only then did Jane come out of her room. She headed to the living room, where a small light was still on.

“Can I sit down too?”

“Of course, mother-in-law.”

Roman sat at her table with Dorian and continued giving and receiving new drinks.

I spent the night politely sharing a drink with Jane, who had joined me for a drink.

··

··

Preparations to head to the federal office start early in the morning.

The couple, who had narrowed their distance from everyone, had breakfast and talked in a softer atmosphere that was incomparable to yesterday.

– See you soon.

Soon anyway.

We will meet again so soon that it is embarrassing to even call it a next time.

The wedding date has been set in the near future. The day before, Dorian and Jane decided to come to the capital.

After confirming their promise and saying goodbye, Roman and his party left Edelman.

“Roman. Are the federal government crossing the border legally?”

“That’s right. I got a pass in advance and sent a letter.”

There is no need to use the unique smuggling route used by adventurers.

There was also a part where Varian had written her hand in the dictionary. A virtue registered as a guest of Vulcan on a different level from that of a saint.

In this way, we reached the barren borderline that we passed through in the past with Atra.

Let’s cross the line with such special treatment that you won’t believe we’re in a truce.

“?”

Where are the furry beastmen guards I saw before going? The Yongin people were seen wandering around as if waiting for someone.

*****

A desert in the Federal State.

When the sun goes down, and it becomes dark like now, the temperature drops rapidly.

It’s cold that an average person can’t stand unless they wear all the thick clothes they have.

In that place where the cold swirls.

Crack. Crack. Hwarrrr───.

Theodor Spenta was lying with his chin on fire as he lit a huge pyre centered around the World Tree.

Not near the fire, but inside the burning flames.

So no one is worried. No matter how strong the fire born from firewood rages, it cannot burn these dragon people.

“···.”

Theodore folded his wings above him and did not move.

He didn’t even look at the stars in the night sky.

Below, numerous Yongin people who follow him bring firewood. It is accelerating the heat and maintaining a huge fire that feels like a mountain.

‘Good night. It’s not bad firepower.’

The tree that the elf faction, now driven out, holds up as the world tree is unusual.

It’s difficult to light it, but if you do, it burns for a really long time and produces incredibly hot heat.

Still, it’s not enough for Theodore. In that state, it continues to pile up endlessly.

The heat was building up to the point of breaking the physical vessel.

Theodore opened his closed eyes and rolled his eyes at the exponentially increasing presence.

What is especially familiar is the group watching us from a distance, far away.

‘Vulkan and Varian. Are the rest Roman females?’

According to the contents of the letter, it would be so. Isn’t there a woman with light blue hair who is spherical to begin with?

Many dragon people who followed Vulcan also came to the desert. I wasn’t interested in things like crows perched on a string.

‘The females Roman selected are definitely different.’

The women’s skills were better than most.

In particular, there is one person with not bad skills, so I have a lingering desire to clash with them.

However.

– Be prepared in the best condition.

– Don’t disappoint.

He calmed Theodore down as if the contents of the letter were shackles.

The fact that those females were there as if watching means Roman would appear once he is ready.

‘Come quickly.’

There was no learning in the struggle and life of Theodor Spenta, the pinnacle of the Yongin tribe.

Only natural talent.

How to scratch your nails and how to breathe fire. Squeezing down and tearing apart the enemy was an instinct that one naturally learned as one spent time alive.

‘Come and tear me limb from limb and break my soul.’

Just holding a large amount of heat accumulated in the body makes your instincts stronger.

Most people would say that the current state of irrational body movements is not efficient.

But he knows.

The desire for liberation created by building up burning heat in the body. A sense of fulfillment that brings you closer to your original essence.

The intensifying desires suppress the opposite sex and sharpen his sense of finding prey.

This is the moment when the dragon called Theodor Spenta is the strongest.

Rumbling───!!!

In the night sky, a dark red thunderbolt pierced the ceiling of the world and made a roar.

“You’re finally here…!”

Theodore, who had risen from the flames, smiled so deep that his molars were visible.

Kwarung!!!

Thunder filled with black and red light struck the desert.

Appeared.

A person like a disaster who dare not resist.
