Overwhelmed by the presence of the dragon, Yoosung reflexively opened his mouth.
“My name is Yuseong Han.”
– What I asked is not the name. I’ll ask again. What are you doing?
momentary silence.
After thinking about it, Yooseong decided to have a conversation.
I don’t know what this dragon is thinking, but if it had been hostile, I would have attacked or tried to subdue it without questioning it.
‘Nevertheless, it is highly likely that the fact that you tried to talk twice means that you have no intention of fighting or you cannot do so even if you want to fight. Looking at the situation, is it closer to the latter?’
Of course, I was prepared to run away at any time in case my prediction was wrong.
“Do you want a brief explanation or a detailed explanation?”
-Tell me in detail.
“Then let me explain from the beginning. For now, this is a place called Earth.”
Watching the dragon’s eyes, Yoosung calmly told everything he knew, what had happened so far, what purpose he had come here for, and so on, without exaggeration.
I didn’t lie.
I had a strong hunch that this dragon’s clumsy tricks would not work.
“This is all I know. So now I’ll ask. Who are you?”
– Aindel. He made a noble sacrifice for Dragonia, the world of great dragons.
“You mean you put yourself in this situation?”
-Yes.
“… … I don’t understand. What is Dragonia and why did you come to our world?”
Aindel, who declared in a solemn voice, continued talking while looking down at the meteor.
-Han Yuseong. You have brought glad tidings and delighted me, and in return I will answer your questions.
There was a world called Dragonia.
A world where all races obeyed in front of the mighty power and power of dragons.
Dragons, who live thousands of years, continued to dominate not just one generation but through generations, reshaping the world to their liking.
They were reborn as dragons by mixing dragon blood with the different races, and dug into the planet’s roots to obtain infinite resources and energy.
A glorious era that seemed to last forever.
However, the age of dragons came to an end for reasons no one expected.
-Beings from another dimension began to appear in our world. It wasn’t a big deal at first, but as the number increased, it became difficult for the military to deal with.
As time went on, the appearance cycle of intruders became shorter and the types of attacks also diversified.
One day, a normal land changed into a land where different physical laws were applied, just like a different world overnight, and one day, an unknown plague spread rapidly and caused enormous losses.
Wars that have been going on for hundreds of years and the cumulative damage.
Eventually, the dragons admitted that winning the war was impossible and decided to find another way.
– That is how the decision was made on the migration plan.
A plan to leave a world that has literally been ruined and migrate to a new one.
Through enormous effort and technology, he created a city with the ability to jump across dimensions and withstand the impact, and selected those with the ability and lineage suitable for reviving Dragonia and frozen them.
On the day all preparations were completed, the dragons carried out their plan without hesitation.
And after some time after starting the voyage, some problems started to occur.
As the time spent drifting in the dimensional rift increased, the energy to support navigation and barriers became insufficient.
At first, energy was produced using the enormous resources brought from Dragonia, and then, despite using artifacts, the voyage showed no signs of ending.
– New energy was needed to support the city. And we were the only ones with that kind of energy.
Even if the dragon’s life was precious, it was nothing compared to the fate of the entire race.
10 dragons sacrificed themselves, and when they changed their names, 10 more dragons came forward repeatedly.
-We were the last. Even though my comrades were dying one by one and I was left alone, I held on tenaciously to the thought that I couldn’t break Dragonia’s pulse, but I never thought I’d arrive at a new place. What a joy. You can rest now.
Tears began to form in Eindel’s big eyes, as if she was filled with emotion.
However, Yoosung had no choice but to put on a dejected expression.
‘It’s because I like words, after all, what you guys are doing is also aggression, right? How is it different from those invaders?’
If I do it, it’s romance, if someone else does it, it’s an affair.
That’s exactly what the dragons did.
I hoped that a peaceful solution would be possible at the sight of the friendly conversation, but it seemed like a vain hope.
‘What do we do? Should we appeal to the fact that the Earth is also under invasion and convince ourselves that there is nothing to be gained by fighting among ourselves? No, they are the ones who want to change the environment itself to suit their tastes. I don’t know what kind of guys will appear in the future, but there won’t be any more dangerous than these guys. then… … .’
“yes?”
Yuseong, who was desperately rolling his head to find a way to break through the situation, suddenly realized something and tilted his head.
“Aindel, I have a question for you.”
-Tell me.
“Didn’t you say that you carefully selected the settlers to resurrect Dragonia?”
-Yes. Those with deep dragon blood, those with outstanding abilities in each field, and those with various skills, they were selected through rigorous discussion and deliberation. They are essential to resurrect Dragonia.
“Do you think all of them are dead?”
Aindel’s eyes, which had been drawing an arc in a happy mood, widened.
– There are jokes you can and there are jokes you shouldn’t. Forgive once, never twice.
“It’s not a joke, it’s the truth. By those carefully selected people, you mean the people in the glass coffin, right?”
-Yes.
“I saw it with my own eyes when I came here. All of them are dead.”
-… … .
Aindel, who was silently staring at the meteor without saying anything, appeared on Aindel’s forehead, a small eye made of magic.
The snow that flew high into the sky went out through the door through which the meteor came in, and Aindel’s face was viciously distorted.
– This, what the hell is this?
– Hick?
Aindel poked his head toward the meteor that was comforting the startled Aris.
-Did you cheat on me? Didn’t our children say they were resurrecting Dragonia? But why are they all dying without leaving a single one!
“I don’t know that either. It would be quicker to ask a guy named Nord for details.”
– Nord? who else is that?
“Uh, so it looks like the Lizardman who is currently in charge of general command… … .
– Lizardman? Why is the Lizardman here?
Aindel, who had just arrived in the world of Earth and thought that the immigrants who had awakened from a long slumber were reviving Dragonia, but as he listened to the detailed explanation of the meteor, he realized that he was greatly mistaken.
-So that lizardman called Nord called himself the ruler of Dragonia?
“In addition to that, he was also said to be the high priest of the Dragon God Church.”
– What crazy! Do mere slaves dare to take the place of their masters?
Overwhelming living that is tangible enough to be visible.
Feeling an unusual atmosphere, I felt a strong shock as if my heart stopped even though I was protecting my body and mind by turning my magic power and inner energy.
“A slave. What do you mean?”
I could roughly guess what had happened, but Yoosung asked with the most innocent expression as if he didn’t know anything.
– Lizardmen are the lowest and inferior species among all dragons who inherit dragon blood! A slave who is entrusted with chores and simple tasks! Are those Lizardmen ruling Dragonia?
“I’ve said it several times, but I’m an outsider so I don’t know what happened. But given the circumstances, I can guess what happened.”
-What is it?
“It seems that the Lizardmen have rebelled.”
This was a reasonable guess, not a slander or anything.
The other dragons are invisible and only the Lizardmen remain.
That Nord called himself the ruler and high priest of Dragonia.
The fact that the management of the facilities in the basement was not done at all.
Lizardmen’s revolt was overflowing with evidence.
‘Of course, that’s not necessarily the case.’
There are other possibilities.
This city of Dragonia had some similarities with the generation spaceships that traveled the universe for long periods of time.
A generational change would inevitably take place while wandering around the dimensional gap for a long time, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years, and in the process, the knowledge that had been handed down countless times would have to be practiced or distorted bit by bit.
Little by little, it piled up, and starting from a certain generation, the Lizardmen completely forgot their mission and history, and it was quite possible that they built their own civilization using the fragmentary knowledge that remained.
“Hehehe.”
However, Yooseong decided not to talk about this possibility.
– I didn’t leave any of these guys behind and all of them… … .
Whoa!
Eindel, who was trying to get up, was blocked by a magic circle in the air and collapsed.
“Are you okay?”
-… … It would be impossible to even get out of here.
Yoosung couldn’t say anything to Aindel, who was making a bewildered expression.
Although he succeeded in twisting the relationship between Aindel and the Lizardmen, it was because he lacked the materials or motivation to do anything more.
Although they are having a leisurely conversation, from Aindel’s point of view, he is a clear enemy.
Until now, it seemed like he hadn’t felt anything strange because the conversation had flowed naturally, but if he said something like, “Are you going to leave the Lizardmen alone or can’t you unlock the barrier?”
how much time has passed
Aindel, who continued to send out his magic-made eyes as if he still couldn’t believe it, finally opened his mouth as he looked at the meteor, perhaps accepting the reality.
-You said you came here to release the barrier and defeat the Lizardmen.
“That’s right.”
-Okay, are you a person who keeps your promises?
“I try to keep it as much as possible, but I tend to break it easily if the situation doesn’t go well.”
– A person who says he has no faith. I’m confused whether I should be happy to be honest or not.
Aindel burst out laughing and immediately put on a serious expression and spat out words like thunder from the sky.
– Aindel, the 32nd Lord of Dragonia, will recognize you as the 33rd Lord of Dragonia.
As soon as Aindel’s words finished, a sentence made of light appeared on the back of Yoosung’s hand.
An ornate crest depicting a dragon roaring toward the sky.
Aindel spoke in a relieved voice to Yoosung, who was staring at the crest with blank eyes.
-If you go to the control room on the top floor with that crest, you will be able to use all of Dragonia’s functions. As the 33rd Lord of Dragonia and a legitimate ruler, punish slaves who dare to pretend to be Lords.
“… … Why do you do this to me?”
I couldn’t understand what Aindel was thinking.
I know I can’t get out of here.
I understand that you feel betrayed by the Lizardmen.
But isn’t there anything to do with handing over these sentences to yourself?
-I just thought that it would be better to hand it over to outsiders than to see people who were mere slaves taking over Dragonia and boasting about being dragons. don’t you understand?
Yuseong thought about this situation for a while comparing it to mankind.
Humans, who were driven to the brink of destruction by the alien invasion, squeezed all their strength to build a spaceship heading to a new planet, and went into frozen sleep in it.
However, when I opened my eyes, artificial intelligence, or some kind of force, rebelled and killed all the crew and said, ‘We are the true human race.’ What would a person who saw a scene talking about the same bullshit think?
“I think I can understand.”
-good night. New Lord, now go and do your duty.
Yooseong quietly left the joint without saying anything.
They received an unexpected gift, but it was not given as a pure favor, and they were definitely invaders who tried to conquer the earth.
It’s an ambiguous situation to say thank you or to say that you won’t forget grace.
Before leaving the joint, the slight bowing of the head was the maximum display of sincerity that Yooseong could do.
-… … .
And there was no more sound in the cavity where the meteor disappeared.
this is not a game
