Chapter 185
The success of the Sardonyx Raid became known to the public. Shin Yoo-seong’s name became a huge headline.
That’s because of the success of the Sardonyx attack alone.
However, it was not written about how Shin Yuseong attacked Sardonyx.
“Looking around. I struggled a bit. It’s us… We’ve seen Sardonyx disappear. People who were not there will never be convinced even if they hear the story.”
Meilin skillfully took out the jewelry box at the Hunter Association branch in Italy as if it were her own office.
“And the investigation and registration process for the artifacts dropped in the raid are all over. Would you like to open it?”
Shin Yoo-seong nodded and touched the jewelry box with his index finger. A small jewelry box radiated light.
Saaa!
The identity of the jewelry box is a small pocket.
The skull of a giant monster and a red egg were taken out from the desk.
“The unidentified egg is an artifact from the capture of Sardonyx. The other one is a gift from Roger. Thank you again and again.”
Rebellion disguised as Aventino.
Roger was wounded in his attack. In fact, two 7th-level hunters have retired. Even in the midst of this, Shin Yoo-seong made an attack to relieve Roger’s burden.
‘Is this bone the reward?’
According to the regulations, the two artifacts that came out after Sardonyx disappeared had to be divided between Shin Yoo-seong, who performed the most outstandingly, and Roger, a 7th-level hunter.
However, Roger gave the rights to the artifact to Shin Yoo-seong as a gift.
“Forensic results. This bone appears to belong to a blue dragon named Shios. He was defeated by Sardonyx and lost his life. These skulls appear to be trophies from that time.”
A blue dragon’s skull.
tens to hundreds of billions.
Perhaps more than that, it had an astronomical value.
“And this egg…”
Looking at the egg on the desk, Meirin put on a troubled expression.
“It’s embarrassing to say, but the association also failed to identify it.”
Korea and Italy.
The Hunter Associations of both countries failed to identify. It was clear that the unidentified egg was not an ordinary artifact.
“okay.”
Shin Yooseong reached out his hand toward the egg. The unidentified egg was not warm enough to cause a burn.
‘…an egg left by Sardonyx.’
Shin Yuseong is looking at Al with a troubled expression. Meirin smiled and laughed uncharacteristically for her.
“Don’t worry too much. Instead, Italy’s best experts in the field of forensics agreed to cooperate. I was going to let you know when the investigation is over. It would be nice to meet you in person.”
Jiying.
After Meilin’s explanation, the door opened automatically. The best expert to identify artifacts that even the association has failed in.
“Hello. Meteor student!”
A colleague of Amusement Park and a legendary Italian hunter called the Silver Wind. It was Aden.
* * *
A gentle breeze blowing from a closed room. Aden’s eyes looking at the new meteor contained tremendous trust.
“Student Yuseong Shin. How was our Adela in raid? Were you willing to each other? Oh, of course it must have been. …That’s what a companion is to a hunter.”
Aden muttered in a solemn voice, then started talking about things that had nothing to do with Al’s identity.
“I don’t know if I can talk about this. Adela was genuinely happy after being defeated by Shin Yuseong. Isn’t it said that I will participate in the national competition in Italy… It was the first time I took such a leading role.”
Yooseong Shin listened to Aden’s story and looked at the egg blankly.
Adela’s story is good, but the gesture of being curious about Al’s identity. But the story of Aden was only Adela.
“…Student Yuseong Shin. Everyone thinks that everyone lives for a goal. whether it be large or small. But our Adela had no goals.”
But Aden’s attitude was too serious to change the subject. Aden said, holding Shin Yoo-seong’s hands tightly as if he were a benefactor.
“But it is different now. Now that Adela has a goal of beating student Shin Yoo-seong. I will never lose to my granddaughter. please Very just overwhelming! Khumm…”
Aden cleared his throat as if he had made a mistake. Then, as an expert, he opened his mouth in a serious voice.
“It was too long. Don’t worry though. This egg belongs to the Red Dragon. I’ve already dealt with red dragon eggs.”
“…It must have been a red dragon egg.”
Al’s true identity is the Red Dragon.
Since it was an artifact left behind by Sardonyx, it could be believed that it was the reincarnation of Sardonyx, or it could be seen as a child of Sardonyx.
“…Sir Aden. Can dragon eggs be hatched by humans?”
Aden nodded at Yoosung Shin’s sincere question.
“It’s possible… as long as the preparation conditions are met. But if you leave it as it is, there might be a problem…”
Aden’s expression after touching the egg changed dramatically.
“The first thing a dragon needs to hatch is mana. The egg already contains a lot of mana, so if you inject it little by little whenever you have time, even non-dragon hunters can do it. The problem is the temperature of the egg.”
Aden suddenly removed his hand from the hot heat he felt from the egg.
“Originally, red dragons cast cold magic on the shells of freshly laid eggs. However, this egg did not have that process, so if left as it is, the shell will break.”
If the shell breaks before the egg develops sufficiently, the consequences are obvious.
“…Cold magic? So, is it impossible for Hunters?”
“It is not that there is no way. There are at least three other ways.”
Aden kindly explained each and every method he knew to Yooseong Shin.
“How to get help from a hunter with cold power! How to use an artifact containing cold magic! How to use refrigerant!”
Aden, who had listed all the methods, laughed at Shin Yuseong.
“It is realistically impossible to obtain the desired artifact. But everything else is feasible. If you find the characteristics of our Adela and the local refrigerant I tell you about.”
The egg left by Sardonyx was the only hint to get the last piece. Aden’s information is Shin Yoo-seong’s last chance.
“Please. Aden.”
Let’s bow our heads and make a sincere request. Aden raised Shin Yoo-seong’s body with a puzzled face. Eventually, Shin Yoo-seong raised his head. Aden was smiling with a meaningful face.
“Don’t do that! The one to ask for is rather me!”
* * *
On a steep cliff you can hear the waves of the sea. The location of Bianca Academy was like a natural fortress.
Perhaps because of its location, Baanka Academy was too closed unlike Academy City’s academies.
It is extremely rare for a guest to come to Bianca Academy.
“But Shin Yoosung. That student came?”
“yes. I am in the student council right now.”
“why?
“They said they came to see Adela. Adela-sama was a Gaon student. Could it be that he came to retrieve it directly from Korea? …It’s very romantic when you look at it that way.”
The expression of a blonde schoolgirl who is infatuated. On the other hand, the expression of the blond male student looked somewhat confused.
“My son Adela?”
“I heard you came to ask for something. Do you have any other requests between the two of you?”
Add a little misunderstanding.
The news of Shin Yoo-seong’s visit to Bianca quickly spread throughout the academy.
However, unlike the students’ expectations, Shin Yoo-seong’s request to Adela was not very romantic.
“Adela. This is the target that Aden-nim said should be given the coldness.”
With that word, Shin Yoo-seong takes out a red egg. Adela watched Al with a puzzled face.
“…this egg?”
Adela also knew that Yoosung Shin had obtained the artifact through a raid. But I didn’t know the exact identity.
“It’s a red dragon egg.”
A shocking identity that I only now found out.
Adela realizes that the egg in front of her is a dragon’s. Adela, with an insensitive expression, also showed interest in the egg.
“To think that the object to be given cold was a red dragon egg…”
Adela felt the heat as she received the egg from Shin Yoo-seong.
Saaa!
Let Adela emit blue light from the back of her hand. The shell of an egg that cools down as cold air seeps in.
“It worked, but it only lasts about 3 hours. You won’t be able to repeat the ability every time, so if you want to keep dropping the egg’s temperature…”
“You need a coolant, right?”
Adela nodded instead of answering Yoosung Shin’s words.
But it wasn’t easy.
As long as the subject was a red dragon egg, it was hardly an ordinary refrigerant.
But what if the refrigerant is the power of the witch of winter still not melting?
[…With the death of Witch Louise, Volterra’s cold disappeared as if it had washed away. However, the Ruin Mountains have become inaccessible.]
[That’s because the Winter Witch’s Castle still remains in Ruin even though Lewis was captured.]
Shin Yuseong was thinking of heading to Volterra, as Aden had said.
“Will Lewis’ refrigerant be enough?”
But the witch of winter. Adela’s expression changed at Louis’ name.
“…Louis?”
Winter Witch. Disaster of Volterra.
A name that will never disappear, even if it will fade to Adela.
“Lewis’s castle still remains in the Ruin Mountains.”
Adela’s expression hardened at Shin Yoo-sung’s words. Aden hasn’t told me yet that there are witches in Ruin Mountains.
No, it was a hidden fact.
