Episode. 13 Dragon Hunt (1)
Adelgarten was sitting in a tree.
Richard was all in her field of vision.
“young master!”
Aaron’s cry echoed. He hurriedly ran toward the collapsing Richard.
Richard was just overdoing it.
Weaving aura with faith itself, not divine power, was a force he could not handle.
Adelgarten, who had been staring at Richard, closed her eyes.
“A new myth has begun here.”
A monologue leaked out of her mouth.
“For lost faith cannot be regained.”
long period of vacancy. The inhabitants of the world no longer remember the Creator.
“Only another faith will arise.”
Faith that will break through thick distrust and bloom.
The seed has already settled in their hearts.
◈ ◈ ◈
Polk took care of the confused knights.
Demonstrating leadership appropriate to his position, he took control of the dizzying discipline.
Rapture bound his limbs with chains and secured his body to a huge rock.
The guy chuckled and followed him.
In my heart, I wanted to expel her right away, but I couldn’t because of the order Richard gave me before he lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, the collapsed Richard, Aaron, and the unknown girl took measures to rest in the newly built barracks.
“after… … .”
Polk cupped my forehead.
The confusion was resolved, but the most embarrassing thing was none other than him.
“You said you were hiding yourself… … .”
He looked back at the hard work of the 3rd Knights.
First of all, due to the unexpected joining of Gide, the original plan had to be completely reversed.
How much did he climb up and down the Hobson Mountains to do so?
Not only that, he had to sweat for a long time to get the anti-dragon ballista from the dwarves.
But what was even more painful than that was having to watch Gide get into the tempering process.
The reason why the old knight who retired a long time ago is now holding the spear again is that it was all for Richard.
The knights respected Gide but did not understand him.
Gide told the knights to knock the dragon down to the ground. If so, he said he would build a negotiation by himself.
It was nonsense.
The knights couldn’t stand still while the person they respected fought at the cost of death or equivalent.
Everyone in the Knights welcomed dying while fighting alongside Gide. I even considered it an honor.
However, I couldn’t understand why he risked his life for Richard.
It seemed that the hard work of the 3rd Knights, including him, would be worthless.
But, that wasn’t necessarily the case now.
“… … It won’t be worthless.”
Polk corrected his thoughts.
Richard was different from the rumors and different from the image he had in his memory.
In any case, the mission will of course continue.
The 3rd Knights was the sword that Battenberg had drawn.
It is right to be swung towards the goal.
I was just grateful that I was able to stand on a more valuable battlefield.
◈ ◈ ◈
I opened my eyes in a hazy mind.
All I could see was a green tent. It must have been a bright day, and light leaked into the tent.
“Ugh… … .”
When I stood up, muscle pain throbbed all over the place. It felt like muscles were twisting like weaving.
‘Weaving an aura with faith is something I’ll never do again.’
He had consumed 3,000 precious faith to win just one couple.
I also didn’t know that I had such a strong desire to win.
“Crazy. It’s crazy. How can you be so overbearing?”
As I was reflecting and clicking my tongue, Aaron and Adele entered the barracks.
Both eyes widened.
“young master!”
“Dad!”
I stopped Adele, who was running towards me with a smile.
If I left it as it was, I would have expressed joy with my whole body, but right now I was suffering from muscle pain.
“Bocchan, are you feeling better?”
“It’s to die for.”
Answering Aaron, he raised his faith. Isn’t it faith that is being used at this time?
The pain subsided to the point where I wondered why I hadn’t done it earlier.
“… … That power again.”
“why?”
Aaron’s expression darkened. It wasn’t once or twice that I used faith in front of him, but the reaction was very strange.
“it’s nothing.”
“what. speak up.”
He just smiled and said he was glad he was okay.
fresh guy.
As I headed out of the barracks with my much improved body, the knights sent their gazes to each other.
Among them, there were those who awkwardly asked regards. The atmosphere was different from when I first arrived here yesterday.
He seemed confused about how to treat me.
“You are awake.”
said Polk, approaching. His dull eyes had changed strangely.
“We were foolish. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“it’s okay. What is it?”
He stopped Polk, who was lowering his head abruptly.
The sudden change in attitude was awkward for me too.
“By the way, where are the orcs?”
“I will guide you.”
I followed Polk’s guidance and walked out to the back of the garrison.
At first glance, a large rock.
There was Rapture, whose limbs were bound.
“insect!”
The three knights who were watching him bowed to us. Among them was Jack.
“Chwiik, great human warrior! I’m glad you look unharmed!”
“Nucksal is good after doing that.”
Rapture handing out greetings while wrapped in chains was very funny.
He laughed and opened his mouth.
“Since you won in Dalian, the loser must follow suit. So, what’s my treatment now? Chwiik!”
It seemed like he had already let go of everything.
It was a strange orc to look at and see.
Usually, Orcs would not be able to control their ferocious ferocity, but the rapture in front of them never showed such an appearance.
“What about your tribe?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Chwik, it doesn’t exist anymore. All the tribes were killed by dragons.”
“So he was trying to get revenge.”
The guy nodded.
Natural flowers bloomed in his saddened eyes.
“He is an evil and cruel fellow. Acquire! You bastard lizard to chew to death!”
The knights gripped their swords in the rapture’s life that bloomed spontaneously. It was a warning that if he did anything stupid, he would respond immediately.
“Certainly, dragons are only those with broken personalities.”
I looked at the distant mountains for a while.
Why did you set the dragon like that-
I only regretted it deeply.
“Release the chains.”
“Do, young master?”
The knights looked at me in bewilderment.
It was a look that hoped they had heard it wrong. On the contrary, Rapture’s eyes twinkled.
“I don’t think he’s the kind of guy to backfire. It will be of considerable help in subjugation.”
“Right. How true! Chwiik, I swear by my everything!”
Rapture nodded vigorously.
However, the knights were not easily persuaded.
“young master. Please reconsider one more time. He is an orc.”
Polk stubbornly refused.
“Even if this guy sincerely wants to cooperate, we don’t need the help of the orcs.”
“If the power increases by one, the damage to the knights will decrease.”
“It is a matter of pride. A knight collaborating with an orc is unacceptable.”
I didn’t understand Polk and the Knights.
I already felt it right from the start, but as expected, the guys called knights were completely blocked.
What the hell does this have to do with pride?
I was just about to say something.
“That’s funny.”
Adele, who was holding my collar, opened her mouth.
A crooked smile hung on his lips.
“Is it a betrayal of pride to cooperate with other races?”
All eyes focused on Adele, who suddenly intervened in the argument.
“The heroes of the Great War united all races into one. So are they not proud?”
The knights made indescribable expressions.
You probably can’t understand what Adele is talking about.
Because the Great War was long forgotten.
Because they will only have memories of the great war that was like a quarrel.
But Adele’s voice was filled with the dignity of the World Tree. Voices of rebuttal did not come easily.
“Who is this child?”
Polk asked me.
I wanted to ask so quickly, but I remembered that I hadn’t had time to pay attention to Adele until now.
“I am Adelgarten. father’s daughter… … .”
“A mighty druid. For now, let’s talk about this later.”
Adele quickly cut off her words. Saying something strange about her daughter for no reason only added to the confusion.
I mediated the situation and looked at the red orc.
“Rapture.”
“Tell me, Chwiik.”
“I have no reason to stand by you even while arguing with the knights.”
The red orc’s eyes turned to me. Complex emotions passed through it.
In the end, all that was left was resignation.
“Chwiik, no face. It must have been because of me. It was my stubbornness in the first place, so don’t worry about it.”
Rather, he expressed his apologies to me even when he was bound. this is true If you don’t like it, you can’t.
I looked at Aaron.
He, who had been standing silently, began to release the chains of rapture one by one.
“Chwik… … ?”
“So, just be my ally.”
This guy was a talent worth missing out on.
Orcs were one of the main axes that fought over the position of the dominant species. I wanted to attract him, a born warrior, to my side.
It was an opportunity to lay the groundwork for the Orcs to gain a chance.
