“Adelian. Are you really not going to join the deck party?”
I nodded my head at what Zero said as he put tea and snacks on the table for me to eat.
“I have personal things to do. I don’t like the hassle right now.”
“Then, call me anytime and I will bring you anything.”
I nodded at Zero’s words.
After we split apart to reduce the damage we would do to Elise’s Pirates. It seems that Elise left the mermaids’ territory and scattered people in the nearby sea.
Thanks to that, Alice could easily find us resting on an island in the remote sea, not in the vortex zone, without an accurate map or compass.
‘Thanks to that, moving by boat made it a little easier.’
After all, walking directly on the sea is a burden for the party.
It’s noisy outside the cabin. It seems that meeting the mermaids and coming back alive is itself a great appeal to pirates.
Leaf said he wanted to read a book and took him to Levi, who was playing well. I sent the rest saying that I needed to rest when I was resting.
In particular, Kane needs to socialize with people, so we are all having a drink together on this occasion, so to be honest, I wanted to wear it too, but I had something to do.
‘Because a month is not a very long time.’
Since I came to Namhae Island, it is right to take care of the things I can do now and go back to my hometown.
It’s like going to the bank, meeting people, and buying things while you have an appointment today.
‘Besides, perhaps because of my arrogance trait, the atmosphere is great when I join in and drink together.’
Perhaps the fear of the class system was greater than the force, so it was comfortable to be in the cabin like this, as the pirates often offered Kane a drink, while I only saw a pup-like figure that did something wrong and rolled its eyes.
‘At this time, I’m also having a personal interview.’
Everyone will have experience.
For example, the day your parents call you by your last name and ask you to come to your room.
Or the moment when the class president came up to you while chatting with a friend in the classroom and the teacher asked you to come down to the office.
In college, the professor. After joining the company, if the boss calls only one person to the room, everyone will make that face.
“You called me?”
Rachel looks at me with a very anxious face. Even though I haven’t done anything wrong, I get nervous when I see a police officer.
I smiled at that face and gestured to the chair across the table.
“What am I eating? Sit in front.”
“No. I’m going to drink outside! I’m busy! Can’t you tell me tomorrow?”
I called you, Rachel, because I saw you were already drinking, playing, and yawning.
I rolled my eyes and sat down on the chair, but as if I was trying to get up, I lifted my butt and sat down again while looking at my eyes, laughing.
“not a big deal.”
“… Is it real?”
“of course.”
I took out a paper and pen to briefly summarize what I had heard from Rachel, and Rachel widened her eyes and shook her legs.
“no. What, why, what!”
“… Haven’t I said anything yet?”
Rachel, who had been punching the air for no reason, took a deep breath, then sat down in a chair with a pouting face and crossed her legs.
“Quickly ask. I’m busy!”
Why don’t you know that it’s more suspicious because of that?
Well, it’s a dragon, and no matter what kind of play you do, you probably haven’t played games that walk the thorny path with that personality.
I opened my mouth, scratching my head with the tip of the magic-treated quill.
“Before that, put up a mana curtain.”
Because our party members are so competent. It was obvious that you would hear the conversation we were having now, even in that noisy place, if you put your mind to it.
“… I? no. You have an artifact, pitching a tent.”
Anyway. I took out the artifact from the sub-space and closed the mana curtain and opened my mouth again.
“The one I saw in the dungeon.”
“I do not remember.”
Looking at your face, I can remember all of those memories.
No, in the first place, dragon is a famous word in the subculture world.
An existence that has not been blessed with oblivion.
But I can’t remember.
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“I didn’t expect you to want to drink tea with me for so long.”
I don’t even have a drink. It’s okay, let’s drink tea until we remember. A conflicted face.
“Oh, I heard that green juice is good for memory.”
As soon as I said one more word there, Rachel clenched her fist.
“Ah, I remember!”
Without bothering to point out Rachel’s poor performance, I tapped the paper with the tip of a quill.
“say it.”
“… From what?”
“When do you remember?”
Rachel made a subtle expression at my question.
“I don’t remember.”
trauma. or fear. Most of them come from actual events.
Of course, there may be things you are afraid of even if you have not experienced them.
For example death or serious illness. or injured. loss of something.
I haven’t experienced the deep sea or space properly, but there will be fear that comes from that.
But usually, what an individual fears and dreads the most. I thought it was one of the things I usually experienced if I had to go through something hopeless.
‘In the first place, the progress was too detailed.’
Besides, can you accurately imagine it in a situation where you have not known, seen, or heard of its existence?
Something that never even recognized its existence in the first place?
A mass-produced golem or gigant from Rachel’s nightmare. Such was the case with unfairness.
Because it was very similar to what I know.
“Don’t lie.”
From noble mtl dot com.
So my reaction was natural, and Rachel sighed as she thumped her chest.
“Ah, how unfair! It’s not a lie. Really. that’s not my memory maybe.”
“Maybe what?”
When I asked while taking a sip of tea, Rachel touched her forehead with a complicated expression.
“You don’t know. Usually, that kind of hallucination magic or soul magic system gets more sophisticated the more it is actually possible.”
The problem is, no matter how much you play, you control your power, but a dragon is a dragon. It was said that if even Rachel believed in the truth for a moment, it was absolutely impossible with only vague fear.
“Imagination and memory are vastly different. No matter how elaborately you imagine it, the atmosphere of that moment. smell. temperature. It’s hard to imagine all the sounds you hear at the same time.”
Well, that’s what Riff did. The ever-changing scenery and unclear atmosphere.
Originally, the space created to embody the fear of Leaf, which had almost no emotion, was a synthesis of distortions.
The most suspicious Zero and Rachel were so realistic.
The rest felt like a patchwork of experiences.
Even for Levi, the scorching sun and desert were similar to the stretch of white sandy beaches in midsummer, and Luna, along with her hometown mansion, was discrimination and insults that could be heard in the capital of the empire.
Or, some of them were words that Luna might have heard herself.
Kane is a world where there is no one in addition to a wasteland where there is nothing.
In a way, it’s like expanding Kane’s hometown.
“The dungeon is not an illusion created entirely from nothing. But you don’t remember Is that so?”
“that’s right.”
“Do you think it makes sense?”
I asked while writing down a few things, and Rachel lit twin wicks in her eyes and banged her fist on the table.
The teacup lifted slightly, and a few drops of tea water splashed out.
“no! at all. I really want to catch the master of that dungeon and ask him about it. Given the nature of such dungeons, it’s clear that even the Master doesn’t know exactly why that was said.”
After thinking about it for a while, I opened my mouth.
“That golem or airship from your nightmares. Since when did you know Gigant?”
Rachel’s eyes widened at the vague words.
“Golem… … ? Ah, could that strange skeleton be a golem? I thought I cast a spell on some kind of doll. I mean that’s weird i’ve never seen them Moreover, those airships flying in the sky and the huge dolls with humans riding them. There’s no such thing anywhere on this continent?”
Rachel’s words reminded me of the Airship, which was still buried in the Spirit Forest and gathering mana.
Its entrance condition must be a pure-blooded human.
And the three-dimensional puzzles I saw at the time were of hunting dragons.
The more information I got, the more I started to think that something was wrong.
“If that’s what I remember right?”
“No, because I don’t remember.”
“I know what you mean, but let’s make an assumption.”
that nightmare. If that is Rachel’s memory, but at some point, for some reason, the memory is sealed or forgotten.
“Then is it possible?”
At my question, Rachel sulked with a dissatisfied expression before opening her mouth.
“It’s a dungeon that scratches beyond the unconscious and makes you face what you’re afraid of. It’s possible. Actually you are right. If I was just a normal race, I might have erased it from my memory with such a great shock.”
But I shook my head as Rachel said she could never forget. The original Rachel, who was a dragon lord but didn’t tell her until the end.
Even in the game, the polymorph release keyword comes out only when you go to the very end.
In addition, no matter how much he plays as a martial artist, he never uses magic, and unlike Kane, he doesn’t take out his aura and blow it away.
Besides, that nightmare.
‘Because the extinction of the race wasn’t the only nightmare.’
Dragons fall from the sky and die on the ground. extinction of a species. That’s what she’s afraid of… … .
“What if a dragon stronger than you put restrictions or seals on it?”
Rachel smiled coolly at my question.
“Puhahahaha. A dragon stronger than me? It’s impossible. I… … ! Even in the current state with that slight restriction, there is no dragon stronger than me if only the strength of the body is considered.”
Rachel started talking, wondering if she didn’t know because I didn’t say anything.
“I am the greatest, most powerful being of all time. It’s like a mutation. Originally, Red has destructive power, but I have surpassed that ark.”
You started showing off as if you didn’t know what a great person you were hanging out with. That’s why it fits the image of a typical dragon very well.
“Then what if it’s not a dragon but a god?”
Even at this question, Rachel smiled confidently.
“It is impossible unless there is an existence that has the power of a single god, bringing together the divinities of so many gods.”
After saying that, he took the snack in front of him and swallowed it with a sigh.
“Even if my body’s strength is reduced to half, I’m stronger than most dragons. okay?”
Looking at Rachel like that, I swallowed the tea, which had cooled down quite a bit, like cold water.
Is it just a simple assumption that the body’s power is in half?
How much experience do you have from the novels you’ve seen and the games you’ve played?
Everything is just suspicious.
You can see as much as you know, but if you know a lot of unnecessary things like me, your thoughts are rather messy.
So I decided to just ask outright.
“Rachel. Can’t you tell me soon?”
“What, what?”
Among the few possibilities I can think of. the most potent one.
I looked at Rachel’s chest, then moved my pupils to meet Rachel’s red eyes.
“Is your nightmare about Dragon Heart?”
Rachel’s gaze wavered at my question.
