“Let’s both sit down.”
Lord Bahelm snapped his hand.

Just that gesture alone made her look noble and elegant.
It was obviously Leo’s mansion, but he felt like the owner.
But what does that matter?
Rather, I felt grateful that he led the atmosphere.
Leo sat next to Vivian, and Barmoor sat next to Radical.
“yes. Did you say let’s talk?”
“That kid said that, not me.”
Barmoor pointed at Leo.
“I just agreed with that.”
“Right.”
Bahelm and Barmoor both looked at Leo at the same time.
Leo frowned at the uncomfortable gaze.
‘Is that just a way to avoid a crisis?’
But I couldn’t come this far and say that.
It was a mess even when we fought in the wild, but if we fought in the middle of the capital, we would be halfway broken.
“Yes. Why did you come to see me in the first place?”
I roughly guessed it, but Leo asked.
“I want the resurrection of the Balaur. That’s why I need the dragon eggs you have.”
“… … .”
This is the answer I expected.
Leo suddenly felt a cold sweat run down his back.
‘it… Is it broken?’
It wasn’t just broken, it was shattered and turned into powder.
What if I said this?
I don’t know, but I might go crazy again like before.
‘Twice… If I say that, I think I’ll really try to cut it.’
Leo glanced at Lord Bahelm with eyes asking for help.
He nodded and opened his mouth again.
“How do you know Prince Leo has it? And even if there is, it belongs to the prince. I don’t have to give it to you.”
“Where can you be so rude to the warchief!”
Radical roared.
Lack of patience, he noticed that part of his face had changed into a werewolf.
Lord Bahelm laughed at him.
“You stupid wolf. I have a short mind, but I have no patience. Don’t you know that the situation is different from before? Even if you run amok in the system, you will only die.”
“Kreureung! Shall I rip that neck off right away?”
“If you can.”
Lord Bahelm’s eyes shone coldly, and a black mane grew on Radical’s forearm.
“Stop it.”
It was Barmoor who stopped them.
“Calm down, Radical. As that human said, we are at a disadvantage if we fight here.”
“… I understand, warchief.”
Radical obediently sat back in his seat.
In fact, they were at a disadvantage in this situation.
Lycanthrope warchief and executive.
No matter how great the two were, this place was now the heart of the empire.
Even if Bahelm, the Fairy Queen, and Leo, who were in front of me right now, joined forces, it would not be easy to deal with them, but the Imperial Knights and Wizards were besieging the mansion.
It was because Prince Bahelm contacted me on the way.
However, despite knowing the disadvantages, Barmoor’s eyes shone coldly.
“But stop pressuring me like this, human. If I rampage properly, more than half of the system will be blown away.”
“… keep in mind.”
Prince Bahelm also nodded as if he understood.
Barmoore turned his gaze back to Leo.
“Let’s go back to what we were talking about earlier. I need a dragon’s egg.”
“… What is inside a dragon’s egg is not a dragon.”
There is no life in it.
Leo, who had shattered it, knew better than anyone else.
“is it?”
“Yes.”
“I know you well. It’s as if you’ve checked the contents.”
“… … .”
Barmoor laughed.
“Do you know why I want the resurrection of the Balaur?”
“well. Since the Abyss is a place where different races live together, don’t you want the resurrection of the ancient race?”
In addition, the Balaur would have strong power, so it would be helpful in terms of power.
“That’s not why. To be precise, that’s what the previous warchief wanted, not me.”
“… Isn’t the previous warchief dead?”
“No way. Although he is old, he is still alive and well.”
Those words created tension in the room.
The former great chieftain means the former grand duke.
One of the 7 strongest in the Abyss.
Even if time passed and his heyday passed, his skills would not have rusted that much.
The expressions of Leo and Vivian as well as Prince Bahelm, who had the responsibility to protect the empire, hardened.
Radical asked cautiously.
“uh… , Is it okay to say that, Warchief? Isn’t that a top secret?”
“If you think about what to say in the future, it is right to reveal it here.”
“If so… .”
Barmoor continued.
“To be precise, what the former warchief needs is not a dragon. It is the power of dragons.”
“If it’s power… ?”
“What you showed me earlier. I mean dragon words.”
Leo shut up.
Because it was such an urgent situation, he had unfolded his dragon knowledge and made a dragon, but to find out at once.
“Sigh. okay. I’ll be honest. There are no more dragon eggs. It came into my body. You’re not thinking of splitting the ship, are you?”
“It is not. I just need to meet the previous warchief with me.”
“Am I crazy?”
After Leo said that, he felt sorry for him.
‘Did I speak too harshly?’
But I couldn’t help it.
To meet the previous chieftain with the current lycanthrope warchief.

Just tell them to fall neatly off a cliff and die. But?
“The previous warchief needs the power of dragon words.”
“I don’t even know how to handle this power properly yet.”
The situation is so urgent that it is only written in an outrageous way.
In fact, as a result, the force did not flow backwards and he collapsed.
“I am worse than I look. If you use this power without proper research, you will die quickly.”
“Not as good as it looks, but as bad as it looks.”
“… … .”
“But you have a point.”
Barmoor nodded.
“Make another offer. Our people have a long-standing treasure. It’s about increasing your physical strength… .”
“Moon crystal?”
“… Do you know?”
Leo instinctively shut his mouth.
Because this is what I knew from playing the game.
‘crazy. I was so desperate that I just ran out of words.’
moon decision.
As something that Leo knew, it was the treasure of the lycanthrope race.
Its characteristic is that it is comparable to an SSS-class elixir.
And the effect… .
‘Allows you to obtain ＜Wolf’s Soul＞, which ranks highest among physical attributes.’
It will have the same potential as the lycanthrope race.
superior physical abilities. And even the resilience that seems to circulate potions instead of blood.
‘If I get it, won’t my physical condition improve?’
Since the body is messed up with bad traits, wouldn’t it be possible to offset it by adding good traits to it?
Didn’t he become quite livable after losing one of his ＜Body＞ traits?
While Barmoor was still staring at him with a puzzled expression, Leo cleared his throat and answered.
“Hmm. I learned this knowledge by accident because I have loved to read books since I was a child.”
“The moon’s crystal was written in a book? Even among our tribe, if you are not at the executive level, you don’t even know what it is?”
“what. It must have been written by one of the senior executives.”
Leo shrugged.
“Isn’t that what matters?”
“… Well, that’s it.”
“Honestly, it is a coveted condition. But I’m afraid I’m in too much danger, so I’m not ready to accept it.”
Leo now told his honest feelings.
Barmoor shrugged as if he was worried about something like that.
“I understand, but there is no need to worry so much.”
“Why?”
“If I wanted to hurt you, I could have already done it during the battle earlier, and even if that wasn’t the case, I could just retreat and attack later. At your level, you cannot overcome the lycanthrope’s ambush yet.”
“… When I heard it, I was right.”
Lycanthropes are masters of ambush.
Even if the warchief moves directly, he will die unconditionally unless he is at the level of Lord Bahelm.
“The fact that I brought up the story of the moon’s crystal is in itself showing you goodwill.”
“… All right.”
Leo nodded.
“It’s not difficult to meet once. But what exactly do you want from me?”
“There is something I want you to do with the power of the dragon you got. I’ll have to wait a few months to see the warchief, but can you use dragon words skillfully during that time?”
If it was normal, I would have thought it was nonsense.
Dragon words were an unheard-of power even when Leo was playing games.
I didn’t know anything, but it was even the ability of a dragon known as the source of magic.
Get used to this in a few months.
‘… Do you think it’s worth it?’
However, Leo thought that although it was difficult, it was worth trying.
Didn’t he melt and utilize the knowledge floating in his head even in the urgent situation right now?
If given the time to study calmly, he was certainly confident of using it to some extent.
“great.”
“Good idea.”
“I just want to see if I can meet Prince Bahelm here.”
“… … ?”
Barmoor slightly frowned.
He seemed quite dissatisfied, but he also nodded because he understood Leo’s feelings.
“yes. do it I will set the time later and let you know.”

the next morning.
Alice and Kizan came to Leo’s mansion to play.
“You Leo! I played hard by myself again!”
“… sister. If you say that, I feel very unfair.”
you go out to play
There were a few times I almost died, and it makes me sad to say that.
When he recalled last night, he was proud of himself for being alive.
Barmoor and Radical left the Empire, and Vivian went to his underground mage tower with Prince Bahelm.
Because she deals with space, it seems that she has a lot of interest in the dimensional mage.
“now. Let’s focus on training.”
“Huh. already? How about we start playing a bit?”
“no. Where is the time to play?”
Leo firmly shook his head.
We must meet Barmoor again in the next few months.
Until then, of course, you should be able to handle the dragon, and if things go wrong, you have to be stronger because you can’t even properly resist him at the current level.
‘Fortunately, as I melt the dragon’s knowledge into my body, my level of magic is growing steadily.’
The feeling of getting stronger in real time was really new.
Others say that he has been stagnant for the rest of his life in the 5th rank, but Leo was now hanging out near the wall leading to the next stage.
Leo rebuked the two brothers.
“I told you that you only have to practice until the effect of the elixir of growth ends. I’m busy during the day, so hurry up and pay attention.”
In the morning, individual practice with my brothers.
In the afternoon, I was going to go to Prince Bahelm’s underground magic tower and receive tutoring from him.
