Chapter 318. Working dragon (6) I can’t remember when it started.
This is because nothing is as meaningless as counting the years to your own people and your own people.
Unlike other dragons, Delneph has been established in this land for quite some time.
As for the other dragons, the civilization of humans gradually spread.
While watching it, the people moved the rares one by one for the reason of ‘not to intervene’.
However, he was one of the few dragons that did not move the rarity.
Because I wasn’t interested.
No matter what people do to build a country.
I thought it was something that had nothing to do with me.
So he just stood by.
After all, this land is unsuitable for human habitation.
Snow falls and crops grow slowly.
In addition, monsters driven by their own energy always go down to the few private houses, making it unsuitable for humans to live.
That’s why he was hiding as before, thinking humans wouldn’t come here.
What appeared in front of him was a strange human being.
No, can it be described as human?
A being with a fixed soul.
There was even an ominous aura in it.
Appearance is a young human female.
So you said you were a girl?
However, he was not the one to be careless about his appearance.
The girl had an infinitely sinister soul.
I instinctively sensed that I was right.
“Life is precious. Come on, get out of here.”
He warned, exhaling cold air from the corners of his mouth.
However, the girl who invaded her territory tilted her head casually despite the cold air she emitted.
“Finding an adult white dragon. capture.
you are mine.”
I muttered something I couldn’t understand.
…Just like that, his consciousness was blown away.
I was attacked, but I couldn’t even see what it was.
The only thing he knew was that it was magic enough to freeze his body.
And his consciousness was in a dark place for not a short time.
I don’t even remember what happened.
It seems that he kept fighting something, but he couldn’t see or hear anything, so he couldn’t tell.
When he finally came to his senses due to the noise and shock of something, he wondered why someone he had never seen in his life was piercing his chest with a sword.
Even he couldn’t help but be taken aback.
The reason I wasn’t angry was because I was so surprised that I didn’t even have the time to do it.
On top of that, the pain of being pierced through the wrath and the shock of the damage to the dragon heart made me lose my mind.
The only thing I thought was that I don’t know what happened, but I need to get out of this place.
Instinctively, they were wary of being caught again if the human came.
At this time, I had no time to take care of my pride or anything.
Squeeze out faint consciousness and barely use teleport magic to transfer.
The location was instinctively designated as the place where his rare was.
Even dragons are creatures after all.
In a situation where there is no situation, it is natural to follow the homecoming instinct instinctively.
However, upon returning to the territory, he was horrified,
“…how did this happen?”
It was not the territory he knew.
It was definitely a place where it snowed, but it wasn’t a place where there was such a strong blizzard.
It must have been a place where the white snow that matched the color of his scales fell slowly.
Even Rare couldn’t see where he was buried.
Even the terrain had changed.
It was probably due to the change in environment and the effects of past fights.
….Being somewhat conscious, I understood that a considerable amount of time had passed.
Even if he wants to hide in rare form, it is difficult for him to exert that much power with his current body.
Inevitably, he managed to change his appearance to a human with the remaining mana.
I could feel the presence of many people.
He thought that if his true identity was discovered, the human army would attack again.
Especially a human woman who almost had her own heart pierced.
I didn’t want to run into her.
Now he is so weak that this murderous cold seeps into his skin.
It was humiliating, but I had to hide and hide.
With that thought in mind, he hid in a human city, unknown when it was built.
Use the remaining mana to hallucinate the soldier and trick him into passing through the checkpoint.
He just hid in the city.
And somehow, having secured a place to rest, he stretched out in exhaustion, and only after a while did he come back to his senses and begin to understand the current situation.
300 years have passed.
The place where Rare used to be disappeared and a human city was built instead.
That’s how I figured out each one.
Surprisingly, this place is equipped with an environment where humans can live without difficulty thanks to magical tools that even control the environment.
It was downright embarrassing.
On the one hand, I felt anger at the fact that my territory had changed like this.
However, if you reveal that anger now, it will only repeat the same humiliation as in the past.
He decided to hide for now.
Fortunately, there are many humans here.
If you’re careful, it won’t go unnoticed.
And the mana flowing from here was also needed.
This is to heal the damaged dragon heart naturally.
It seemed that they were using magic tools to artificially manipulate the climate here.
That left him with a surplus of mana beyond what was naturally occurring – I don’t like it, but there was no better place than here to heal his internal wounds.
So he began to make plans to live here, albeit humiliatingly.
First, I came up with a human name.
Delnef.
Hmm… This is the name I used to hide in a human city with my own people for fun.
Even then, I remember that the name of the country established by humans was the Kingdom of Ernesia.
If so, you can use it as is.
However, unlike then, it seems that you have to register your identity to stay in this city.
Annoying.
He tricked the soldier into hallucinating them into registering them in the ledger.
I decorated the place of origin and other items as I thought appropriately.
If he didn’t know anything about humans, he would have been embarrassed, but he remembered the geography and society of this place to some extent from his past experiences.
It wasn’t even difficult if you figured it out.
Somehow, I felt proud of my own wisdom.
The next question is how to live here.
Humans seem to solve the problem of food, clothing and shelter by working and earning money from it.
If so, you should follow it.
Since he is also a living being, he is hungry.
To solve that problem, you have to work in the end.
You have to work and get paid to live on.
But what should I do?
It is difficult to go far from the city.
However, it is also difficult to get into someone’s eyes by doing an overly specialized job.
If so, how to do something simple but somehow well paid.
As a result, he chose a store that sells the most famous specialty in the city.
A chocolate shop that the feudal lord invested in.
he chose that place.
Well, actually, the manager of the store, whom he happened to run into in an alleyway, suggested to him if he would like to work here.
There was no other place.
Delnef had no choice but to start living here.
I didn’t get used to the job at first, but I got the hang of it to some extent.
It was also very simple to imitate the facial expressions and tone the customers wanted.
And two years passed.
It is said that he was demonstrating his presence as an unidentified handsome clerk who captured the hearts of the women there without even realizing it.
Yes!
Everything heals wounds!
And collect money to buy this land!
It was to bring back the rare!
“…It’s more than that.”
After hearing how Delneph had come to be here, I raised my forehead and wondered what the hell I was supposed to do with this.
“Can’t you believe it?”
“No… I’d believe that under the circumstances…
” What’s the problem?
I couldn’t bear to tell him since he asked me seriously.
What the hell is that plan with the screw missing!
Living here to heal internal wounds?
From my point of view, it takes 200 years to heal only that internal wound.
Until then, did you intend to stay here?
The head seems to be spinning, but a screw is completely missing in one corner.
is this guy stupid?
It is doubtful that his brain was also damaged when he was pierced by Kanianuna on the battlefield two years ago.
Or is it normal for the dragons here to be so dazed?
At least what he says isn’t a lie.
The time and circumstances of working here coincide with what the manager said to some extent.
But she seemed to think of Delnef as just an ignorant country boy from a distant country.
From what I’ve heard, it’s to the point where they say they couldn’t even properly distinguish money at first.
It’s pitiful, but it looks fine, so I thought I’d give it a try.
‘Well… it would be strange to think it would be a dragon.’
In other words, after being brainwashed by the reincarnated girl 300 years ago, Delnef was used for various things, and was eventually transferred to Nelvenia at the time?
Truly, Dragon Life is like a beggar once.
I also felt that this was a bit pitiful.
After revealing the truth, Delnef glared at me this time and muttered indignantly.
“…I didn’t know. I couldn’t believe that the lord was the same as them.”
“Let me correct that one thing. First of all, being reincarnated is the same, but I have nothing to do with them.”
“Reincarnated?”
“Hmm… To put it in your way, they are those whose souls are fixed. They are the kind of guys who don’t change even though they cross the world. long to explain Anyway, I have nothing to do with them.”
I don’t want to say it because it’s grandiose and annoying to say that much.
“What are you going to do now?”
Delneph asks.
The circumstances were explained.
If so, it is to be vigilant about what to do with oneself afterwards.
“Umm, what should I do… I’m going to ask you, what are you planning to do once you heal your internal wounds?
You said you were trying to reclaim your territory?”
“…I’d love to, but it’s going to be difficult with you here.”
As if indignantly, he murmured.
You are a dragon who grasps the subject well.
I nodded and agreed.
In fact, if this guy shows his hostility, then he’s pitiful and nothing.
It was intended to be dealt with on the spot without mercy.
So now what to do with this smuggling dragon?
There, this guy saw through to my true identity.
I lightly clenched my fist.
Doesn’t matter…
I loosened my half-clenched fist.
“It has nothing to do with me anyway.”
“What?”
Delneph wondered if he had heard my muttering.
“Let’s ask just one Delneph. Did you ever say you wanted your territory back?”
“That’s right…
He nodded his head slowly, as if embarrassed.
I said my true intentions, but when I think about it, in the end, it means that they will take away my territory.
However, when I heard that, I didn’t feel much emotion.
To be honest, I couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s laughable so I don’t get angry.
In order to receive heat, the opponent has to be that level.
“so? What are you going to do? Sorry about your rare, but no more.”
Let’s not say I blew it up two years ago.
Because it was ruined by that girl anyway.
It’s not my fault
, and this is my land anyway.
it’s mine
If it is unfair, bring the land document.
“Are you really going to kill everyone in the city and steal it after you recover?”
When I asked as if to judge him, Delnef shook his head slowly from side to side.
“I don’t think so. It’s embarrassing to dare to build a city on my territory, but massacres are against my pride.”
