Adelian used to throw out sharp words once in a while, even if something looked sloppy.
Most of the time, it’s a word that came out when something was unlocked when I drank a lot of alcohol.
That 30% of your skills should always be hidden. When I asked what 30% was, he said 3 when his strength was divided by 10.
Or how to compete with words by saying non-sword, how to meditate to control your inner self, and even how to train with images.
The former enjoyed traveling with Luna or Zero, and now.
“That bastard, close your eyes again and set the mood.”
“Shh. Leave it alone. Don’t you know that Tates, who was ignorant and quarreling, was taken away as a half-asshole?”
The only thing to enjoy in this boring place.
After tying Chaser and Rapid together as a party, Kane kept them in check and began to read the mana flow in the barracks with his eyes closed while concocting the number of attacks.
As if dissatisfied with himself, the mana that shook every time he looked this way and a little bit of life.
A person who tried to suppress himself simply because of his birth and failed. A person who later tried to trade loyalty for leadership on the basis of lineage.
The one who boasted that he was the best among these riders, and the one who plotted with Kane on his back.
‘I forgot about it for a while.’
Humans are ugly too.
After several people quarreled with Kane in order to establish the so-called hierarchy, they were all broken in one place.
Kane was at least able to occupy a quiet night.
Until today.
“Kain, the leader of the 3rd Subjugation Squad is calling.”
“Why are you calling him alone!”
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
Kane slowly opened his eyes and looked at the protesting man for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and glared at me, but if it was the 3rd Subjugation Team, he was a rider several times older than the current rider registered in the 12th Subjugation Team.
“If your skills were as good as your arrogance, you would have been called instead of Kane.”
The man who was protesting against the words of the 3rd Subjugation Team bit his lip. I can’t protest any more.
The first thing I said would have been the best.
But it’s none of Kane’s business.
Kane opened his mouth as he got up from sitting for a long time at the call of a member of the 3rd Subjugation Team.
“Can I go right now?”
“okay.”
He looks like an ordinary guy, but his aura is on par with the leader of the 12th Subjugation Team.
Following him, Kane and I were also on the move, one or two from each subjugation team.
“what? Do you take the chicken?”
“still… It seems that the mana wave has been captured.”
How many exceptional members of each subjugation team were selected so that they would not interfere with their strength?
Eight people gathered in front of the barracks used by the leader of the 3rd Subjugation Team.
“You’ll have to forget about the conversations we’re having here.”
“Is it a special mission?”
A member of the 3rd Subjugation Team, who had been rolling up the cloth at the entrance of the barracks, slowly turned his gaze to a man’s question.
“If you’re afraid, you can go back.”
“No way.”
Entering the barracks, a muscular woman one head taller than the others is standing with her arms crossed.
Perhaps it is of mixed blood, he has round ears, protruding molar teeth, and a strong appearance thanks to the indelible scars on his arms and neck.
Lyla, the leader of the 3rd Subjugation Team.
She opened her mouth as she looked at those who entered her barracks.
“Everyone walking into my barracks must be taking an oath of silence. You can listen to the content and leave as it is. As long as you keep your mouth shut.”
“Please explain.”
At someone’s words, Layla nodded once and put her hand on the clunky map hanging behind her back.
“There has been a change in the habitats of monsters inside the border that we have identified. To put it simply, stronger monsters inhabit the borderline, but their radius is pushed back one by one.”
Someone drooled at Lila’s words. The people gathered here realized what Layla meant because they weren’t fools with high levels of military power.
“I don’t know for sure, but it seems that one of the monsters in the deepest part of the border has started an activity. According to the cumulative record, there are at least three count level monsters in the depths.”
In the monster border, they were managing the difficulty level of the monsters by rating them for smooth subjugation.
Among them, each of the monsters classified as nobles is a powerful entity.
From low baron level monsters to high level monsters.
Does that mean that Baron-level monsters can be dealt with at least by pouring all of Baron’s strength into them?
“Are you saying that you can only deal with it if you put all your strength belonging to the county-level estate?”
Lila nodded at someone’s question.
“okay. One of them seems to have woken up… … .”
If a marquis or duke-class monster that was stronger than him had been active after a break, the alarm magic that the senior riders had risked their lives for a long time would have gone off.
Besides, before he could measure like this, the small monsters would have already been pushed out in waves.
“So from now on, you guys should divide into three groups and scout the inside of the border. to the core.”
One person raised his hand when he was told that he had to go to the depths of monsters that he could not deal with.
“I won’t. My wife is due to give birth next month.”
After one person left, everyone else was silent. Kane looked at them and nodded slowly when asked if he would participate.

Do dragons have a homeland? In the first place, they are no different from independent entities.
Even if it is in polymorph, its essence does not change.
But what would happen if you made such a dragon swear an oath to the motherland?
I placed the Korean flag drawn in ink in front of Rachel, who was looking bewildered, and handed over the memo I had written down in advance.
“read.”
“No, what is this… … .”
“You haven’t forgotten what you promised, have you?”
Rachel frowns at what I say with a smile.
“at all! But I don’t think this is used in the empire. You know what you just made won’t work anyway, right?”
I guess so. As much as the dragon swore, it will be corrected causally. terms we promised.
Must be an oath phrase used in a country.
“I am proud of the Taegeukgi… What is Taegeukgi?”
I pointed to the Taegeukgi drawn in ink.
For the eternal glory of the motherland and nation.
As a dragon that has no concept of country or nation, it has no choice but to base itself on me, the party to the contract.
“body… huh? Body, no, such an oath phrase is used by the state?”
“Ah, read it quickly.”
At my urging, Rachel growls and reads it again.
“I firmly resolve to devote my body and mind to my utmost loyalty for the sake of infinite glory.”
“as soon as.”
“as soon as?”
Oh, I don’t know about this.
In fact, the oath to the flag has changed several times, and before I came here, it was a free and just Republic of Korea.
‘That’s not the phrase I want.’
So I deliberately wrote it in the past version.
“… Perpetuated. What, is that the right phrase?”
After Rachel said something, it felt like an invisible string had formed and disappeared between her and me.
The homeland and nation sworn here is Kang Su-ho. It doesn’t apply to anyone but me, so Rachel won’t be bound forever. I swore an oath of allegiance by devoting my body and soul to it.
‘There’s no way I’m going to die from Rachel.’
I smiled proudly in front of Rachel, who was shaking with resentment with a face that seemed to have been deceived.
[Rachel―&*^]
“What, just? what did you do?”
As expected, Rachel doesn’t see the trait window.
Besides, as soon as I use the user’s eyes on Rachel, my eyes become alive.
“What is the problem?”
With a crackling sound from Rachel’s hand, a fist curled up, and while Rachel signed the oath contract, the kids who had been away jumped up and grabbed me by the shoulder.
“No, are you trying to talk to that human?”
“But why are your fists clenched like that?”
“First, loosen up your hands a bit.”
– Opposition to violence. Oh, where’s the pen?
Looking at Luna, Zero, and Leaf momentarily blocking my path, Rachel trembled as if her fist were crying, then finally relaxed and forced a smile as she glared at me.
“No, let’s talk for a minute. what did you just do to me what did you do… … .”
―Do you smell of me?
At that, I raised one arm and sniffed my sleeve.
“no!”
From noble mtl dot com.
―The smell of my mana!
At that, I shrugged my shoulders as if I didn’t know, and laughed at Rachel, who snorted and snorted.
* * *
the smell of mana
Even if I use the user’s eyes, I can’t see Rachel’s trait.
Moreover, at that moment, Rachel noticed and said that she smelled of her own mana.
It was only a guess, but with this, it was confirmed that Rachel sent me here.
‘But it takes a few things.’
First of all, Rachel gave the user’s eyes, but Rachel can’t see the traits of others.
‘If you look at what he does, that’s for sure.’
Moreover, I can see the traits of all of these continents in that this is not the trait of those who appeared in the original game or the game, but it can be confirmed by looking at anyone.
No matter how much Rachel was a dragon lord, is that possible?
You brought me from another world, gave me special abilities, and allowed me to recognize everyone’s talents, even hidden traits that weren’t confirmed even in the temples here.
What does it mean to have that kind of power, but the ending in the original story was overshadowed?
I’m sure there’s something I don’t know, but I’m far away from finding out.
Even if I hold on to Rachel, reveal everything about me, and ask what happened, what would Rachel know now?
Rather, I would know more.
If Rachel was omnipotent and knew what I didn’t know, she would have already prevented future destruction by holding on to the Evil Religion instead of punching monsters and enjoying herself here and now.
‘It’s not that my nickname was Brainless Cell for nothing.’
This is something that cannot be resolved right away.
I sighed for a while, but Kane, who was speaking with a siren, listened in amazement and answered.
＜Why are you sighing?＞
“Oh, it’s nothing. Because of the new party member.”
＜Did the martial artist join in after all?＞
I gave a rough answer to Kane’s words and started counting the patterns on the ceiling.
“What is it? By the way, Kane, are you going deep into the border?”
I was a little worried. I couldn’t know the exact time, but I read in the original work that a large monster destroyed the border area. Let’s try to gather some memories.
＜Yes, there are three routes in total. lakeside and cliffs. and hilly terrain. They assumed it was a count-level monster that was resting in those three places.＞
I know what. Because the other two monsters also popped up in the future, not now. I was pushed by a duke-level monster that was resting in a deeper place.
“Go to the hills.”
＜You mean the hills.＞
Perhaps, if I remember correctly, we should go to the hills. The count-class monster Kane talked about, the raid monster I was aiming for.
They both mean him.
I mean Cyclops.
“Hey Zero, let’s have a late night snack!”
“I don’t like it.”
“Senior Zero. Late night snack please!”
“What do you want to eat, junior Rachel?”
I continued the conversation with Kane using the voices of Zero and Rachel, who were playing seniors and juniors, as background music.
“Perhaps the monster that has just woken up is a cyclops living in the hills. It wouldn’t be completely broken yet.”
＜I see. It will only confirm its existence and return. After that, a proper subjugation team will be formed.＞
At Kane’s words, I spun the Kruger ring around and let out a breath.
“There could be a large number of defectors before then. For now, be careful and go. And never eat on top of hills.”
There’s no way that would be the case, but it would be difficult if Kane gets hurt or dies here.
＜You mean food. why.＞
I opened my mouth while tracing my memory at Kane’s question.
“Because the whole hill is dirt piled on top of Cyclops.”
