Chapter.42 Long Wish
Summarizing the conversation, it seems that their plan requires the magical power contained in at least 3 dragon beads.
Their goal is to use it to slaughter other dragons and then achieve domination of the world by a single race.
In that case, the Red Dragon Elder will eventually be in the same position as a god.
A visible god who reigns over the emperor or king of every country on every continent.
Well, this doesn’t matter anyway. Because that goal will never be achieved.
Well, if there’s one more benefit, it’s that I realized why the Dragon Lord asked me to investigate the entire incident related to Lurin’s mother in exchange for handing over the heart to me.
In fact, deep in my heart, that unexpected request always remained a question.
The Dragon Lord had spoken.
There must be a hidden secret behind this incident.
There was literally an inside story, and I still think that the Dragon Lord is a Lord.
Perhaps the Dragon Lord had already realized that the red dragons were suspicious of something?
The Dragon Lord’s life was almost over. But a dragon’s heart never dies. Your brain cells will die and you will just die.
Having inherited Lord’s heart and spirit, I sought out Rurin’s rare to fulfill his request.
My first visit to Lulin’s Lair was definitely not a coincidence. So, in a way, it could be said that the Dragon Lord was the one who brought Lurin and me together.
The reason I tried to open Lulin’s heart despite all the persecution and being called a bastard in Rare at first was because of the Dragon Lord’s request.
Of course, it was like that at first.
After that, it became sincere, so it’s just amazing that we’re in a relationship.
Giyeon created a relationship with Rurin.
Anyway, whether it’s his request or Lulin’s revenge, I have no intention of ending it in vain.
So, in order to make those who have to pay a proper price and reflect, reflect, we keep in step with their rhythm.
“Ugh. “I can’t… I can’t…”
While Lurin was trying to organize her thoughts, she suddenly let out a moan.
Am I having a nightmare?
I was surprised and held Lulin’s hand. Lulin’s hands were trembling.
The more I held that trembling hand, the louder the moans got.
In a way, it’s natural.
Even though he finally knew his enemy, he held back and fell asleep because of me. So, whether you’re being pressed by scissors or having nightmares, it’s natural that your bed isn’t pretty.
However, going on a rampage to take revenge right then and there is definitely not a good direction. I will avenge my enemies, but my mother-in-law’s honor will never be restored.
So all I can do right now is hold your hand tightly.
“Lurin?”
I carefully shook Rurin’s body. The more I saw the cold sweat on my forehead, the more my heart ached.
“Wake up Lurin!”
“Can not be done!”
I couldn’t wait to wake him up, and Lurin woke up surprisingly easily. I raise my upper body while shouting loudly what I’ve been muttering in my sleep since before.
This was by far the first time something like this had happened since I woke Lurin.
“Huh?”
Lurin got up and looked at me blankly, then made a strange face and said.
And then silence again. About 10 seconds after that.
“you!”
He finally seemed to recognize me properly and jumped into my arms differently than usual.
This is also very rare. This is a guy who rarely gets hugged first.
Rurin sat down and jumped into my arms as I was waking up, buried her face in my stomach, wrapped her arms around my waist, and stretched her legs back.
“You, you, you! You were dying. It was so scary! “I was so scared… I cried!”
“Eh? Calm down, Lurin. It’s a dream! I’m just having a nightmare because my psychological state is unstable, so calm down. Am I fine? “I’m not planning on dying, so don’t worry.”
“Huh?”
Lurin stood up again. As if my already swollen eyes were not giving me time to subside, tears were filling my eyes again.
“It’s true. “I’m fine!”
“I don’t know what I was dreaming about, but of course I’m fine. “It’s a dream.”
“Ugh. dream?”
He made a strange noise again and grabbed both my cheeks with both hands. He glared at me for a long time, as if he was asking me to have a snowball fight, and finally seemed to understand, so he slowly walked away, rubbed his eyes, and nodded.
“Was it a dream? Ugh. But it feels uncomfortable! It was my first time having such a dream. “Because it was such a vivid dream!”
“It’s because you can’t fall into a deep sleep. The clearer the dream, the less sound sleep you have. If you have a lot of worries or stress, you won’t be able to sleep well, wake up easily, and remember your dreams clearly, making you tired. Above all, it’s not like our Lulin has ever had a precognitive dream before, right?”
“Precognitive dream? There is no such thing! “In my dreams, you always knelt down and did everything I asked, but it never became reality!”
hmm?
Is that what you always dream about? If it’s like Lurin, it’s like Lurin.
“Anyway, that’s the way it is. You’re not the type to have precognitive dreams. “Don’t worry, it’s just a nightmare.”
“is it. Actually, you in my dream just pushed me away. “You are not who you are.”
Lulin looked at me with his eyes wide awake. I felt relieved when he smiled softly, so I sat down and straightened my hair.
“Now, drink some water. “It’s not water, but it’s cold.”
“that?”
Tea was poured from a thermos. You bring your lunch box and thermos in your bag, and since they have nothing to do with summoning magic, you are always free to take them out.
“okay. Let’s eat and wake up quickly.”
Lurin takes the thermos bottle cap and looks at me. Then he looked at the lid again and hesitated, slightly wary.
“But this guy is hot! eww!”
Sticking out one’s tongue is reminiscent of yesterday’s memories.
“Hey, this one’s ability to keep warm isn’t that good. “It’s cooled now, so don’t worry and eat it.”
“It is true that I cried and I was thirsty. Then eat!”
Slurp.
Lurin gulped down the tea in the thermos without hesitation. Then he frowned.
If you look at it without spitting it out, it doesn’t mean it’s hot. No, it couldn’t have been hot in the first place.
“It doesn’t taste good because it’s lukewarm.”
“It’s all like that.”
Since they were discussing the taste, it seemed like they had completely come to their senses, so I slowly stood up.
Lurin, who was still holding my hand, also stood up as she still had the will to not leave me.
The sanctuary was still quiet.
The fact that it is quiet inside means that the sanctuary outside the sanctuary is very noisy.
Preparations for that are in full swing, right?
The preparation for what to do with me.
“you!”
“Why Lulin?”
“Can I kill you today? “I think I can do it because I have you!”
“No, no, wait. Not right now. If you kill all the red dragons here, you will just become a massacre. Wouldn’t it be difficult if we were the only ones to know about their shameless plans? Black Dragon and Gold Dragon will both find out about their plan. Because that will clear my mother’s name. Then your honor will be restored automatically, right? The honor of not having done anything shameful! I will restore that honor and take revenge. “Don’t you think that’s true revenge?”
“You mean your mother’s honor?”
“okay. Revenge is meaningless, right? We need to make everyone in this world know that Lurin’s mother did not steal the Red Dragon’s sacred item. “So that Black Dragon, who has been dismissed as a disgrace, cannot even raise his face.”
“That… seems good!”
“yes?”
“But it’s hard to bear, dear…” It’s different from when my heart aches and you break it! I’m so angry and at a loss! “There’s something I can’t stand!”
“Hmm, hold on though. “You said you remember your mother’s last words?”
“Yes. Mom said she was framed. So I said I would clear my name and left.”
“If that’s mother’s last wish, shouldn’t it come true? Just be patient. No matter what happens, I will get revenge.”
“… … .”
Lulin closed his mouth tightly. Just blink your eyes. Without retracting his gaze from me.
“got it?”
The silence continued for so long that I was the first to speak. Then Lulin answered loudly.
“Always know! That you are amazing! Cool! love love… S8, it’s embarrassing, so that’s okay! Anyway, I live today because of you! Tomorrow too! Even the day after tomorrow!”
“Thank you for that. But can’t you live on without me?”
“I absolutely hate that.”
Lulin answered very firmly.
***
I wasted some time inside to give myself more time to prepare, but when I came outside, the sun was already setting.
At the end of the afternoon, red dragons appeared and stared at us. The numbers are still large. The numbers that seem to have increased since yesterday are by no means due to mood.
I’m so desperate for the dragon beads I have that I’ll do anything.
At the center.
As soon as we came out, the Red Dragon elder came up to us, made a disgusted face, and started talking.
“Human. “I gave you as much time as you wanted, so what do you think?”
It’s straightforward. It’s so straightforward that it’s rather convenient. Perhaps because he is fully ‘prepared’ to deal with me, he comes out bluntly.
I know these guys.
These guys don’t know me.
To me, who knew what the preparation was, their reaction was just laughable, but I still acted like I didn’t know and answered.
“yes. “I’ve decided.”
“Is that so? “Then give me your marbles, human being.”
I just said I had decided, I didn’t say I would give the beads, but I went ahead.
“That must be difficult?”
I shrugged my shoulders at them and refused. I’m hoping that since he’s coming out so bluntly now, his true colors will slowly be revealed.
“What’s wrong? “How dare you, a human being, even play with words with this elder of the Red Dragon!”
An explosion before revealing his true self.
Red Dragon glared at me angrily.
We’re almost there. Just before his true face is revealed. Then I have to peck one more time.
“No pun intended. “I just said I had no intention of giving it to you?”
“Hehehe kehahahaha! “You foolish creature!”
Then the Red Dragon elder began to laugh loudly. The laughter is contagious, and one after another the other elder dragons begin to laugh as well.
okay. This is what it looks like. It’s finally here.
“You’re being arrogant and believing in that meager power and teleportation. But, human beings! The barrier that disturbs the surrounding coordinates has already been completed. Several ancient dragons stayed up all night and worked hard. We can’t use it either, but you can never escape! “Would you like to take on the entire Red Dragon battle force once?”
This too is too obvious.
What they are wary of is running away with the marble. So, I gave the ‘preparation’ enough thought and waited for a situation where I could pass the beads as naturally as possible.
okay.
I was thinking of giving the beads first.
As long as I know what to do with the bead, my plan is to just give it away. However, it is difficult to be suspicious, so do your best to play.
“That kind of thing!”
I made exaggerated gestures. I cringe a little. Oh, I cringe a little too much.
The dragons here are actually not scary at all.
The ‘me’ who cannot deal with this number of people is the ‘me’ during the Dragon War. I am not who I am now.
But to them, I am ‘me’ who can never deal with this number of people.
