Chapter 249. It became the Dragon King’s alarm (1)
“Aigoo, Dragon King? Have you ever had a problem? Or any problem?”
“….”
A voice that tickles my ears out of nowhere.
Dragon King Berkis turned his head.
was finally able to find
There were humans there.
Rubbing both palms together.
Hiding your trembling tongue.
He was a sweet and friendly smiler.
Verkis’s head tilted.
“…What are you?”
“yes?”
“Who are you right now in front of me….”
“This is Igo Lloyd Frontera. Nice to meet you. Didn’t you come all the way here riding the Manticore because you somehow managed to get the sponsorship of the Dragon King? Don’t you remember? A few days ago, I covered you with a blanket and gently fanned you. Oh and this.”
“….”
“I left it in case you wake up, in case you get thirsty. Let’s have a drink first.”
“….”
what is this guy
Berkis looked at Lloyd with a strange gaze.
Looking back, it reminded me a bit.
‘okay. A guy like that crawled into the dungeon a few days ago.’
A human who earned the qualification to sponsor the Dragon King.
I remembered him coming in the Manticore.
Was the outsider almost 150 years old?
It was annoying to deal with.
Mixing words was also annoying.
Even the effort required to roll an eyeball to look at it was a waste.
so i just slept
Just like it did to some of the heroes who have visited this place so far.
This time, if you just sleep and ignore it, he will leave on its own.
It’s the dragon king’s sponsorship, and I’m going to give up in the end.
I thought so and fell asleep.
But what do you see now?
He didn’t look like giving up at all.
However, he didn’t seem to be clinging to him like the other heroes we’ve seen so far.
Ask for the benefits of the Dragon King’s sponsorship.
Please keep your promise like a dragon king.
I didn’t even ask for it out loud.
Not hanging on or begging?
On the other hand, isn’t it that he is spitting on his lips saying that he will help this side?
Berkis swallowed a laugh in his heart.
I received the glass of water that Lloyd offered me. Inhaled. and asked
“You? me? You want to help?”
“Yes, Dragon King.”
“how? Are you willing to listen to my concerns?”
“Oops, if I can help by listening to you, I should do it a hundred times.”
“really?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded firmly.
This is your chance.
he had a hunch.
‘I was actually a bit nervous about when the dragon king would wake up, but luckily the opportunity came sooner than I thought.’
Lloyd, who enjoyed a stay-at-home in the Dragon Cave for the past few days.
But he wasn’t just playing around.
In fact, he had been paying close attention to the presence of the Dragon King for 24 hours.
Even when you roll in the king’s bed.
Even while doing an exciting tour of the dragon cave trap area.
And then I was hungry and even while eating sweet potatoes.
I was always careful not to miss the trend of the dragon king without missing a moment.
At the same time, I was also worried.
‘Because it seemed like the dragon king would sleep longer than I thought.’
At first, I just wanted to sleep for a few days.
But the more I looked at it, the more I realized that that wasn’t the case.
Maybe it would stay like this for at least a few months.
So that was what I was thinking about.
Shall we wait a little longer?
Or will you find another way?
‘But at just the right timing, the dragon king woke me up like this. Oh, thank you.’
Even the dragon king didn’t just wake up.
He looked like he was in a lot of trouble.
So, this was an opportunity.
It might be a chance that would be hard to catch twice.
Thinking so, Lloyd put a powerful forward gear on his tongue.
“I am ready to listen to the Yongwang-nim’s concerns. Are you tired? doesn’t exist. How troublesome would this be? A world to help! Warm goodwill toward each other! Perhaps that is the beautiful future we all have to cultivate together.”
“….”
“sorry. Stop because I am overwhelmed with emotions.”
“No, no. Then you can listen to my troubles, right?”
“yes.”
“Then are you married?”
“yes?”
“Are you married?”
“I didn’t.”
“Then what about your girlfriend?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Have you never had one before?”
“yes.”
“What have you been doing in your life?”
“….”
no dragon king
Why do you suddenly break people’s bones with your words?
Lloyd hastily wiped away the teardrops that were about to form in the corners of his eyes.
However, Dragon King Berkis was cold and ruthless.
“I was never married, and I never had a girlfriend. Then I guess you won’t listen to my concerns? Do you know the hardships of a married man?”
“Ah, I know a little bit!”
“how?”
“I always consulted with my father about his worries. Every time my mother gets angry.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, then maybe you can contribute a little bit of energy to solving this terrifying emergency that my little one has gone mad with?”
“Who is the little boy?”
“My mana.”
“Mana…Oh, Dragon Queen?”
“uh.”
“Just tell me. I will listen to you wholeheartedly.”
Lloyd knelt down and sat down.
He tilted his upper body slightly toward Berkis.
I desperately moved the muscles in the back of my head, and the lobe of my ears twitched slightly.
An appeal full of sincerity that I will listen to your concerns with my whole body.
That attitude also moved Berkis’ heart.
“…Tsk. It’s simple to explain. My little boy is pissed off.”
“The Dragon Queen?”
“huh.”
“What are we going to do….”
“I went on a trip this time. with my mother With my daughter.”
“The Dragon King…Are you talking about mother and daughter?”
“uh.”
Verkis’s words continued.
“I don’t know about you, but my little boy is very diligent. beyond imagination For hundreds of years, I haven’t missed a single day of cooking and cleaning here.”
“Ah then maybe…Wasn’t it because of that diligence that the Dragon King’s mother asked the Dragon Queen to go on a trip together?”
“oh. answer. Are you smart?”
“I just felt it.”
“Anyway, that’s right. It’s a pity that you can’t just do housework like that, and it’s a pity to live too faithfully, so let’s get some fresh air. He said he would come back after playing for a year, and took him away.”
“Is your mother the Dragon Queen?”
“huh.”
Verkis nodded.
“That’s why I’m the only one left here. This is a perfect opportunity.”
“Yes. It is a rare chance of a lifetime. I stay alone and do whatever I want to do. rolling around.”
“Exactly. What do you know?”
“Ahaha.”
“Anyway, thanks to you, I was going to sleep without any complaints? But my little boy already knew my intentions. Maybe he gave me some homework?”
“homework…Rani?”
“Wake up every morning and call me.”
“….”
“To convey it exactly as it is, ‘Nanggun? For the first time as a girl, I left my side and looked around the world. So, girl, I’m really worried about Nang-gun, who will be left alone. Ha-oni Nanggun-nim, make sure to cough every morning to give the girl a message.’”
“…Ahaha, the honey is running out.”
“But isn’t it bloody?”
“yes. That’s right.”
Lloyd agreed without hesitation.
Come to think of it, there was a rather terrifying corner to that supple and sweet request.
‘Originally, such a supple request is scary.’
When I used to live in Korea.
It reminded me of my father who sometimes teased my mother.
Come to think of it, Dragon King Berkis also had a similar expression to his father at the time.
“I really don’t understand. Wake up every morning and ask for a call. What kind of life, or Yongsaeng, should I live so that I can wake up every morning on my own? Is that really even possible?”
“Oh, it’s not easy for everyone in the world.”
“yes? Aren’t I the only one weird?”
“It’s fine.”
Lloyd shuddered and nodded.
And he pointed out the core of the troubles faced by the Dragon King Berkis.
“Then you haven’t contacted the Dragon Queen in the meantime?”
“uh.”
“How old are you?”
“I don’t know the details, but I think it’s been a month.”
“…So, have you tried it today?”
“Of course I did. by communication magic. But it failed.”
“no way.”
“You’re quick to notice.”
“Are you rejecting calls?”
“huh. Help me. How can we solve this emergency?”
“….”
Lloyd kept his mouth shut.
how can i help with this
What can I get from helping you?
The situation was analyzed.
counted each one.
weighed the gains and losses.
And finally came to a conclusion.
“Hey, I want to ask you one thing…Are you not considering how to find the dragon queen?”
“of course. I want to meet right now and listen to some nagging.”
“but.”
It sounds really normal.
Approaching a sullen wife without notice?
It is an act of suicide that is no different from shouting, “Please kill me.”
So, you have to release anger first and approach it.
That must have been the point that the dragon king was worried about.
how to release anger
Fortunately, Lloyd had the answer in mind.
he said confidently.
“Then come to my estate.”
“what?”
Berkis tilted his head.
“What about me? You want to go to your manor?”
“yes.”
“It’s annoying. why?”
“Because I can give you a wake-up call.”
“A wake-up call?”
“yes.”
Now is the important part.
Lloyd smeared saliva on his lips.
A softer, sweeter smile was attached to the corners of his lips.
And he spoke in a voice that oozes confidence.
“Please think about it, Dragon King. Did you say that before? How the hell do you have to live in this world so that you wake up every morning with your own twinkling eyes?”
“Oh, it was.”
“I think the same. There is nothing more difficult and painful than waking up voluntarily every morning. But, what if it was someone else waking you up instead of yourself?”
“Nam? So, are you going to wake me up?”
“yes.”
He nodded his head confidently.
He said with his tongue full of honesty, trust, and trust, which is fraudulent insurance.
“I will wake you up every morning at a set time every day. So that the Dragon King can contact the Dragon Queen.”
“Hmm, but what if the kid doesn’t keep in touch?”
“You still need to keep in touch.”
“So what?”
“It’s possible.”
Lloyd confirmed.
“Isn’t the Dragon Queen angry because she broke her promise to contact her every morning? Of course, the past cannot be undone. You can’t erase that mistake. But it’s the earliest when you think it’s too late for everything. From now on, you can keep in touch faithfully every morning.”
“really?”
“yes. Of course, at first, the dragon queen will ignore the few calls. Do you still keep in touch? Then, in the end, your mind will be freed. because. It’s because you showed a self-reflection and sincerity. Even if we couldn’t communicate.”
“Oh oh. Is it plausible?”
“yes. I will help you with that.”
“Are you going to wake me up every morning?”
“yes. Yongwang-nim just rolls around all day…No, all you have to do is open your eyes and contact the Dragon Queen when I wake you up while sleeping.”
“You mean you can sleep all day again after that? Until you wake me up the next morning?”
“Exactly. Besides-”
Lloyd’s confident ardor followed.
“Looking like you’re getting out of this Demon Dragon Cave and going far away. Wouldn’t it be possible to get extra points from the Dragon Queen just by showing it?”
“So you’re thinking of going to your manor?”
“Yep, that’s it.”
A confident smile formed on Lloyd’s lips.
A satisfied smile bloomed on Berkis’ lips.
‘good.’
Berkis and Lloyd.
The Dragon King and the Wicked Human.
The same thought ran through both of their heads.
‘Is this guy worth using?’
Hope blossomed in Verkis’ eyes as he looked at Lloyd.
It was okay to reconsider the proposal that person had just raised.
First of all, you didn’t have to put in the effort.
All I had to do was go to sleep as usual.
Then, when he woke me up, all I had to do was open my eyes and contact the kid.
While I was left here alone in the Demon Dragon’s Cave, the thing I felt most regretful about was resolved.
‘The Manticore was embarrassed to wake me up. Because there is still a part of me that is afraid of me.’
However, the itchy part seemed to be resolved at once.
He didn’t even look like he had anything to lose.
It was satisfactory.
So it was.
Berkis’ eyes suddenly sulked.
“So you must have a lot of things you want from me.”
“yep.”
“Aren’t you humble?”
“You’ve already noticed, so what’s the point of lacking humility? Even so, the Dragon King would have to say a few extra words to interrogate me, and he would feel that much trouble.”
“Oh oh. Do you like it.”
“thank you.”
“I will.”
“yes?”
Lloyd hesitated.
That was the moment.
Dragon King Berkis snapped his fingers.
right!
“it’s okay. One extra life. And permission to enter the dragon cave. I gave it all.”
“…yes?”
“That was the benefit of the Dragon King’s sponsorship, wasn’t it? that I gave All of that.”
“All?”
Lloyd felt bewildered.
The dragon king only snapped his finger once.
When I said that all of the benefits had been given before I knew it, I couldn’t believe it.
Berkis furrowed one eyebrow.
“Something flashing, huh? Shine brightly, huh? Were you expecting something like that? Why bother putting such a glitter effect?”
“Is it like that?”
“of course. From now on, you will be able to freely enter and exit this Demon Dragon Cave. You won’t fall into any trap. So you can take all the junk here and use it as you like. And the extra life given….”
“yes.”
“There is no way to check right now. Well, once you die, you’ll find out. Would you like to try it now?”
“…no.”
“Yeah, well thought out. Besides, you must have calculated the benefits you would enjoy while keeping me in the manor, right?”
“yep.”
“If you get caught, at least pretend to be shy.”
“Ahaha.”
Lloyd laughed shyly.
The dragon king’s point was true.
at least one year ahead.
It was the period during which the Dragon King, Verkis, would be taken to the manor and served.
In the meantime, waking Verkis every morning would give him more flattery. I can make you feel better. That way you can score points.
Lloyd thought that the connections he would form would serve him for the rest of his life.
‘Because I’m the Dragon King. Because he is the richest unemployed man in the world!’
I’m emphasizing again, but you have to be friendly with someone like that.
If the opportunity presents itself, no matter how flattering it may be, maintain a constructive and strong relationship and treat him as an elder brother.
That’s how life gets better.
‘Besides, the effort to help the dragon king like this wouldn’t be too great.’
just once every morning.
All you have to do is wake up the sleeping dragon king.
It literally takes less effort than walking a dog.
‘With just that much effort, you can gain a relationship with the Dragon King. This must be done unconditionally.’
Ten million tonnes of gain for one gram of effort.
Lloyd wasn’t going to miss out on such an immediate advantage.
“Hey then, can I serve the Dragon King from now on?”
“Are you going to carry me?”
“That way, the Dragon King’s legs won’t work hard, right?”
“Are you really my style? But that’s a bit gross, so that’s okay. Let’s just teleport.”
“Yes, I see.”
Lloyd gave a quick nod.
Berkis prepared the teleportation magic.
A clever human and a lazy dragon king.
It was a moment when the interests of the two matched exquisitely.
And the silver-haired knight Xaviel, who had been watching from the side, thought quietly.
‘That swindler.’
That person named Kim Soo-ho.
Maybe in the original world, he was actually a fraudster.
Maybe I’m doing this to protect such a person.
Somehow, in the midst of a growing sense of skepticism, Xaviel dressed up as a woman to return to the territory.
Thus, the journey of the two humans and the Dragon King to the Frontera domain was decided.
