25- Dragon Lord (1)
“What about Alice and Cecil?”
Fortunately, there were only three servants in the mansion.
However, they were nowhere to be seen.
“It doesn’t affect my life, but my clothes are slightly tanned. I went to the village to exchange clothes.”
It was fortunate. If something happened to those two, I wouldn’t have the confidence to stay sane.

I looked around the mansion that had been reduced to ashes. In fact, only a little black ash remained, and nothing of the shape of the mansion remained.
As I grabbed a handful of ashes, it flowed down my fingers.
“Wait…Sebastian.”
“Yes.”
No way.
There was no way that could have happened.
“What happened to the mansion’s safe? The rest of the valuables?”
“Sorry.”
Sebastian lowered his head as if he had no name. This meant only one thing. It was a story that the whole thing flew away along with the mansion.
How was that money earned?
It was the money I earned by rolling like a dog when I went to the Holy Land, and rolling like a dog again to catch mescaline.
It was military funds saved for the future on the day of the opening.
But you said it burned out?
“…Sebastian.”
“Yes.”
“Why did the dragon come in?”
From the beginning, dragons were considered equal to gods and were worshiped by people.
Especially if it is a red object. The strongest existence that swallows the sun and knocks down the moon.
The Dragon Lord was clear.
Why is that burning down my house…’
In the original work, even when the demon king burned half the world, and even when the entire continent was engulfed in war, it was a dragon lord that never showed up.
But you flew all the way here just to destroy the duke’s mansion?
No matter how much I thought, something was strange.
But that wasn’t the point.
“Sebastian.”
“Yes.”
“While I’m away, please fix the mansion.”
“Where are you going?”
There is only one place to go.
The Dragon Lord is said to store all the wealth in the world.
“Go to the dragon’s lair in Oswell Gorge.”
I was thinking of getting a good price.
**
Dragon Road.
The pinnacle of dragons and the mother of all dragons.
An absolute being who has lived the same time as the stars and has no interest in other races.
‘No matter how you think about it, it’s strange…’
It was a guy who didn’t even appear in the original work. But what about now?
There was no corner to catch.
No.
Honestly, there was one.
‘Laplace.’
It was clear that this guy was up to something else. Consider what happens most of the time. This guy messed up, and I mostly dealt with it.
I thought it would be no different this time.
“Alice.”
“Yes!”
Alice, who was walking alone with me through the canyon, looked up at me. A smile that she couldn’t hide appeared on her face.
Cecile also showed signs of wanting to follow, but Cecil, who can use multiple summons, asked her to restore the mansion.
“Have I been here before?”
“Uh, uh… Ever since I started working, you’ve been at the mansion every day except for going to war…”
Alice shook her head.
At least until right before I possessed it, it was a story that I didn’t go and play with the dragon.
Rather, her head started to get more complicated. I couldn’t even guess that this crazy bastard wasn’t the cause.

“Hey bro, don’t you want to go out for a meal?”
While passing between the canyons, there was a shop that looked different no matter how you looked at it. In front of him, a middle-aged man was soliciting customers.
The man made eye contact with us and gestured for us to come closer.
I had prepared enough food, but I thought I might get some information. As we walked towards the man, he greeted us with a bright smile.
“Well thought out, my wife’s cooking is excellent.”
It was a man with scars all over his body. He wore an eyepatch over one eye, and his whole body was well-muscled. It was an appearance reminiscent of a warrior in reverse.
The great sword rolling beside him did not hide that he was a swordsman.
“Why are you setting up a shop in a place like this?”
“That’s…”
As the man tried to answer, a strong wind blew and cast a huge shadow.
A dragon with pure white scales was flying in the sky. As if trying to hear us right away, he began to turn his head this way.
-aaa!!
The dragon’s roar hit the air. Suddenly, my ears went blank.
As I was about to pull out the hilt,
“Brother, step back for a bit.”
Ting!
The man pushed me back and kicked his sword up.
“Suck!”
After taking a clean, uncluttered stance, he swung his sword.
The man’s sword cut through the air. And after a few seconds, the dragon screamed and started to fall.
‘Swordsmanship…’
It was a skill that could be used only after reaching at least the level of Sword Master.
“Brother, let’s go in.”
“What’s your name?”
“You mean my name? Well, it’s not a name I’d recommend introducing… But it’s called Ian. Please take good care of me bro.”
In the original work, there was only one person named Ian.
The warrior Ian.
Looking at his skills, he seemed right.
**
“A red dragon burns down the mansion? I’ve been wanting to go out for the first time in years, but I went to my brother!”
Perhaps Ian was drunk, he started talking about various things. His story was the same as the one in the original story.
Ian, a warrior who felt skeptical about killing life, hid with his childhood friend in the realm of dragons.
So that no one can find him who disguised himself as dead.
‘But… Can I tell this to someone who’s seen this for the first time?’
Since the new hero has already been replaced 3 times, I wouldn’t go out of my way to find him.
Even so, it was a very unguarded look.
“I’m sorry. I’m a person who likes people, but it’s a place where people don’t come often.”
A woman who appears to be Ian’s wife brought various foods, and she said sorry. In no time, dozens of appetizing dishes were set on the table.
“I’m fine with Celine.”
Ian hugged his wife as she went back to her kitchen. Despite her wife’s advice to stay away, he continued to cling.
“I’ll take it a little bit finely!”
The wife hit Ian on the head with the tray she was holding. Kang! A dull sound rang out.
Ian sat down holding her head, and the wife left Ian and went into her kitchen.
“f*ck…”
Looking back at Alice, Ian’s face seemed funny, as he covered her mouth with her hand in her cupped hands and was laughing. Her smile was as beautiful as a painting.
It was nice to see a lot of different sides recently. It was definitely better than when he only showed a sullen appearance in the beginning.
“I-how did you cook this?”
Alice picked up a few dishes and started asking her wife for the recipe. Even at her mansion, she spent a lot of time studying cooking, so she seemed eager to learn how to cook new dishes.
“What? Come in here, I’ll tell you.”
“Yes!”
As Alice entered her kitchen, she and Ian exchanged drinks.
While talking like that, I heard a strange story.
“Come to think of it… A bizarre swordsman with a magic sword slept here a while ago.”
“A magic sword?”
“He was a strong-looking red-haired swordsman.”
Even in the original work, there were very few people who used magic swords. And among them, there was only one red-haired swordsman.
Magic Swordsman Basteon.
Now that I think about it.
In the list that informed the strong players that they would level up with automatic battles.
It also seemed like there was a Dragon Lord.
**
“This is it.”
“Ah, maybe… The place shown on the map is right here.”
The next morning.
After following the map given by Ian, she arrived in front of a cave. At first glance, it was a cave with an entrance of an unreasonable size.
It was a crude entrance that seemed artificially created. It had only one use.
I could feel a huge flow of mana inside. It was certain that a dragon lord lived here.

I have had one small conviction from my previous life.
Give back as much as you received.
I took out the hilt of the sword and put mana into it.
Sword bodies began to form little by little, and soon a splendid sword was born.
“Young, lord…?”
Alice looked at me with a worried expression.
“Back off.”
An eye for an eye.
In this case, this.
If you destroy someone else’s house, you have to be prepared to destroy your own house too.
Chijik.
Chijik.
The sword began to suck up even the mana around it. A tingling sensation ran through my fingertips. I waited for the sword to fill up with enough mana.
Wang and light!
As I swung my fully charged sword, a huge slash hit the cave head-on. At the same time, a light sound was heard, and the cave began to collapse.
‘Performance sure.’
If the dragon lord died like this, it would have been the best. Then all you have to do is get the treasure and go back.
However, it seems that he was not such an easy opponent.
-Kuaaa!!!!!
I started to hear a brutal sound that was incomparable to the one I heard yesterday.
