Episode 110
EPISODE.55
Underworld at the same time.
After finishing today’s schedule and returning to the lodging, Io was looking at the night sky through the window.
It wasn’t exactly the night sky, but the ceiling studded with glowstones like stars.
Being in this place filled with the smell of fire and iron, the night sky, although not as real as it actually was, conveyed a special sensibility to her as an elf.
Perhaps the other elves felt the same way.
Thinking so, Io suddenly laughed.
It was because of a rumor that passed through my mind for a moment.
Rumors circulating among non-fairy humans.
She had been studying various things about the human world since returning to Daesilim just a few years ago.
Thanks to that, she was able to have quite a knowledge of the outside world among elves, although not as much as humans.
‘Because of this, there are rumors that elves and dwarves don’t get along well among humans.’
Contrary to rumors, to be honest, the relationship between elves and dwarves was not bad.
No, on the contrary, I could say it was good.
Even so, the elves were able to provide the dwarves with quality food and wood, and in return the elves were able to receive quality weapons.
However, the reason why rumors spread that the relationship between the two fairies was not smooth.
The reason was because of the difference in nature.
The difference between elves who liked nature-friendly things and dwarves who liked to create artificial things was clearly different.
While sitting on the window sill of the inn like that, looking at the night sky (?), Io’s eyes flashed with wonder for a while.
“Oh, that’s…”
A silver beam of light crossed the ceiling.
A silver arc of light across the ceiling where the glowstone shines like a star.
Io’s mouth opened slightly at the sight of a beautiful meteor.
How can you recreate such a strange sight? Admiration for the amazing technology of the dwarves flowed out.
“What?”
It was then.
As Io watched the falling meteor leisurely, the sound of a guard sounded from Io’s mouth.
The movement of the silver light that moved smoothly in an arc was strange.
It bent over and then turned in the same direction.
If it was an ordinary meteor, it would have never been seen, and if it had been made by imitating such a meteor, there would be no way the Dwarves would have made such a mistake.
In addition, until the curved meteor flew straight toward him.
I didn’t know that if I fell into the dorm like this, a catastrophe would happen.
So Io urgently called the wind spirit.
“Wind!”
If it’s a real meteor, it’s impossible to block it, but if it’s something similar to a meteor-!!
But before that.
Fire!
A bright halo passed through the wind wall. It wrapped around Io’s body, who was sitting on the window sill.
Paaaa-!
* * *
“Huh…”
Russell, who had returned to the entrance of the cave leading to the Underworld, let out a long breath.
Unlike usual, a slightly exasperated breathing sound.
That was the only way to do it, because I had been running from the silver dragon’s residence to this place for several hours without stopping.
If you add up the time it took to make the round trip, it means that you used about half of the day just for the travel time.
When I turned my head, I saw a ray of dawn shining above the sky, which was full of darkness.
Like the trident of an old god, the multi-pronged beams of light illuminated the rocky mountains of the Red Canyon.
The rocks that received the dawn shimmered like gold.
Sunrise in Red Canyon.
It is a completely different scene from the sunset I saw the day before.
However, despite this, Russell could not concentrate on the sight.
Instead of staring back at the scene in awe, he caught his breath and stepped back into the aisle.
Wild dust erupted from behind his heels, and Russell’s new model instantly turned into a gale.
I ran through the inside of the cave.
Papababat-.
Meanwhile, in my head, I remembered the conversation I had with the silver dragon.
[I will leave my strength to the child who inherited the genealogy of the clan.] The
fact that the image of Io appeared in my head when that voice rang was probably not just a simple illusion.
In fact, even though Io was inherited from his distant ancestors, he also had the factor of a dragon.
He didn’t know what would happen if the silver dragon factor was added to it.
The problem is…
‘How do I find the lodging where Io and the White Ash Tree Tribe are staying?’
He told me where he was staying, but he didn’t ask about Io’s.
‘after-.’
At that fact, Russell sighed briefly. After biting his lip, he shook his head.
‘First of all…’
No matter what happens, I have no choice but to return to the Underworld.
Contrary to Russell’s thoughts, finding Io wasn’t that difficult.
When he entered the Underworld through the door he came in, someone with a familiar body was waiting for him.
Among women who seem to be over 170cm, she has a body that is quite tall, and her silver hair, which was covered by a robe, but spilled out.
In all likelihood, Io stood near the entrance.
“Hey…?”
I asked carefully, just in case, did you hear the sound?
jerk jerk.
Io begins walking slowly toward Russell. Along with that, her pupils that had been hidden by the robe were revealed.
“Are you okay? Lord Lee?!”
When Russell asked at the slightly hazy and blank eyes, she slightly raised her head.
He knelt down on one knee as if he was about to collapse for a moment, still looking at Russell with blank eyes.
Then, he touched the floor with his fist on the other side and said.
“Meet the dragon.”
The loose robe he was wearing with him came off, revealing Io’s changed appearance.
As if matching him with silver hair and silver eyes, what grew on both sides of his head were white horns that looked like those of a goat.
“-!?”
Surprised, before Russell could say anything, Io’s model collapsed on the spot.
Full-.
.
.
“After…”
About fifteen minutes after that.
Returning to his quarters and laying Io on the bed, Russell sighed.
He glanced at his own reflection in the window and smiled.
‘Somehow, I seem to be sighing a lot today.’
Of course, it wasn’t usually the less sighing side. But today, it seemed like it was even worse.
Laugh like that for a while.
Russell covered his face with the palm of his hand as he watched Io fall asleep on his bed as if nothing had happened.
‘I’m alone in an inn with a beautiful elf…’
I felt my face heat up involuntarily, fearing that I might misunderstand.
‘Besides…’
In the midst of this, why does the princess’s face come to mind and why do I feel guilty?
Feeling a burning sensation in a corner of his heart, Russell made an excuse inwardly.
‘But it can’t be helped?’
I don’t know where Io is staying, so I have no choice but to bring him to his room.
You can’t sleep on the road either.
“after.”
Looking at the fan for no reason, Russell hit the hammer.
I opened the window to cool down my hot face.
Click Hwa-Ah-.
Could it be because the Underworld was located underground?
A cool breeze unique to the cave came in through the open window.
Feeling the heat on his face cool, Russell pulled the blanket over Io’s body.
Immediately after, he buried himself deep in the chair.
The wind blew through her hair and the words Io said came to mind.
‘Meet the dragon.’
Even the behavior she seemed to take right after.
Kneel on one knee and touch the ground with the opposite fist.
‘It was an example of extreme attack that a servant would show to a king.’
More importantly, Io didn’t feel any self-will in his appearance.
‘If it’s not simply passing the power, but swallowing the consciousness…’
Then the story becomes complicated. Of course, everything will be a problem that Io will have to wake up again to find out.
‘One thing is for sure, the element of the dragon that Io originally possessed has definitely awakened.’
The proof was that horns in the same shape as those of the silver dragon grew on both sides of the head.
The presence I felt from Io was also clearer than before.
Of course, it still wasn’t that great of a power to see that he had inherited all of the dragon’s factors.
‘Compared to a wizard, he’s just on the level of entering the 5th circle.’
In the case of Aura practitioners, it might be around the point where they begin to express their sword skills.
Whichever way you look at it, it’s about time you’ve just broken through the wall.
It wasn’t a small power, but compared to the power of a real dragon, it was like a firefly in front of a full moon.
‘Is it a way to awaken the strength little by little as time goes by instead of awakening all the powers at once?’
what the hell is this situation
It was then.
“Umm…”
Io slowly opened his eyes as a faint sound leaked out.
He looked around with blurry eyes, saw Russell, and opened his mouth.
“Is…in?”
Seeing that he calls himself a benefactor rather than a dragon emperor, his consciousness as Io clearly remains.
“Io?”
“yes. But why is my benefactor in my dorm…”
Io, who was looking around in a daze, blurted out his words.
Even with a sidelong glance, he realized that this place was not his accommodation.
But Russell couldn’t explain what had happened to her.
It was because the moment Io came to his senses, a green spear appeared in front of Russell’s eyes.
[2nd Generation Dragon – Ⅰ]
The elf in front of you has started awakening as a 2nd generation dragon, but has not realized his mission.
Whenever an elf becomes aware of her mission, she will be able to make her own choices.
Whether to awaken as a dragon or remain as an elf… It didn’t have
a mission written on it, nor did it announce anything…
It was a window of a type I’d never seen before.
As he read the contents written on the window, Russell tilted his head.
‘For the second generation?’
If there was no difference, I wouldn’t have bothered to separate the 1st and 2nd generations. So, what are the differences between the two generations?
Fortunately, the contents of the notification window respected Io’s free will.
‘Awakening as a dragon or remaining as an elf…’
If it was forced awakening and subjugation to oneself, the situation would have been embarrassing and embarrassing.
While Russell was relieved by that fact, Io called Russell once again.
“Hey… benefactor?”
“ah? hmm. yes. Eh… this is it…”
Late at night.
A strong young man living alone with an elf. It was time to explain all of this.
‘The situation is a bit…’
The wizard who swallowed the dragon
