81. Tia
“…The elixir grew in our guild garden?”
“Yes. It is a very high-quality low-class elixir, ‘Magenta Flower’.”
At the sudden report, Millaine doubted her ears.
“Why?”
“I-I will…”
It was a rare thing, and it was an unknown thing.
Elixir does not grow easily like weeds.
In a place with a good ground and rich in energy, when special conditions are met, it is a miracle to reveal itself so that it sprouts in drought.
However, in the middle of the developed capital city, it is a miracle drug.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that the mana stone replacement rate has decreased recently.’
Mana stones are stones and jewels that have the property of absorbing and storing external mana.
This is a consumable that goes into various magical facilities like a battery, so it needs to be replaced periodically.
And since the price of the magic stone is quite expensive, it is consumed as a large operating cost from the point of view of operating it. Especially if it was a place like the world tree that was covered with various welfare magic and house defense magic.
However, the consumption rate of mana stones used in the World Tree House gradually dropped at some point, and recently it has converged to zero.
In other words, the speed at which the mana stone absorbs mana in the air is faster than the speed at which mana is consumed.
What this means is one thing. The concentration of mana in the air was much thicker than before.
‘The air has improved remarkably lately, and it’s very refreshing when I wake up in the morning. The number of applications for health insurance, which is run as guild member welfare, has also sharply decreased…’
There were even those who said that the growth efficiency seemed to have increased.
All of these were noticeable changes that each guild member felt and rumors spread.
Eloah, who was informed of this, sought advice from Tiamat along with Doyoon.
“Didn’t I tell you before?”
“yes?”
“Rare of Roosevolnik. The house site of the World Tree has already become rare for him.”
“ah…! therefore…”
“…was it like this?”
They remembered what Tiamat had said earlier.
Before long, it was announced that this unknown phenomenon was the rareness of the Dragon Lord, Tiamat.
In reality, it was Doyoon’s rare version, but this would be easier for everyone to accept.
Of course, all of this was measured by Doyun’s credit for bringing Tiamat back.
“Wow, wow… So our guild, is it now a dragon’s rarity? Rod’s too?”
“I live and live and step into the dragon’s rarity…”
“hahahaha! oh my god! I need to call my family and tell them this is our guild!”
“It sucks. It was like that originally, but from now on, ‘I am the world demand.’ If you do, I think your shoulder will really ascend. It’s the only case on the continent.”
“I really should bury my bones here.”
Naturally, the response was explosive.
The World Tree has been busy preparing to publicize this to the outside world.
‘This, if you promote it well…’
In the cradle that will open soon, it will be really advantageous to preoccupy talent.
And it would be perfect for scouting talented people from other countries.
Millaine also clung to Do-yoon, saying that it was our fortune and loving him. She looked really happy.
And while listening to Tiamat about the detailed effect of rareization, she said to Doyun.
“So, Roosevolnik.”
“why.”
Tiamat smiled at Doyun.
“…?”
+++
In a room with Tiamat and only two… no, only three of them, Doyoon asked her back.
“Are you really born today?”
“okay. I wish you were by my side Because it is important to feed a high-quality reiki as soon as you are born. He’s your nephew.”
“Nephew…”
He looked at the huge egg in front of him.
Watching hatchlings hatch is a special experience that you have never had before. Doyoon was also very interested in this.
‘Ira of the Dragon Lord…’
Soon, the egg, which had been twitching wildly, cracked.
“uh…!”
“Maybe it’s because he ate high-quality aura, he’s very energetic.”
Something inside hit the egg, and the egg swayed vigorously from side to side.
Soon, the cracks on the egg’s surface widen greatly.
Great!
“ah…!”
“Whoops.”
According to the laws of the world, her name, Tiamat, inherited as it is, her nickname Tia revealed her face.
It was the birth of the Dragon Lord Hetzling.
“Uh, uh…”
Despite being in the room, the world she was seeing for the first time dazzled her eyes and rubbed her eyes cutely.
What did Tiamat do? The child was already in human form.
A cute appearance that still looks like it’s about 10 years old.
Red hair and eyelashes resembling my mother’s. and round eyes.
A short tail and small wings that haven’t been covered yet.
Cute cheeks with plump breasts and cherry-like lips.
So cute, Doyoon’s nephew…
“Dad?”
“…?”
Doyoon doubted my ears.
+++
“Dad!”
“…not Dad.”
Doyoon denied it with a troubled face.
However, as soon as she was born, Tia, who was held in the arms of her non-mother, Do-yoon, tilted her head as if she did not understand what she was saying.
“Are you Daddy?”
“I am not a father. Try it uncle, uncle.”
“Daddy, why are you my uncle?”
“…”
Doyoon looked at her mother, Tiamat, with a face asking her to say something, but she just smiled.
“hey.”
“It’s about to say something bad. It is in front of the child.”
“…”
Do-yoon gave up on her mother’s help.
“…Don’t call me dad, call me oppa. brother.”
“Dad?”
“brother.”
“How are you?”
“Yes, brother.”
Do-yoon succeeded in correcting Tia’s title as her brother after a lot of indoctrination.
“Dad!”
However, it was not difficult for Doyoon and Tiamat to understand that ‘brother’ to Tia is nothing more than a synonym for ‘father’, which has a similar pronunciation.
“Whoa…”
Doyoon decided to be satisfied with this level for now. It’s something that needs to be taught step by step.
Tiamat, who was laughing at that appearance, said to Doyun.
“How is it, isn’t it a really cute child?”
“…that’s cute.”
“me?”
In Doyoon’s arms, she knew that Tia was talking about her and still waggled her short tail.
“Roosevolnik. You said you have the ability to see other people’s status windows. Where, what do you think my child’s talent is?”
“Ah, Tia must have been blessed by the system too.”
After hearing her words, Doyoon lowered his head and met Tia’s eyes.
“Eh?”
Looking at the bright golden reptilian eyes, Doyoon used this characteristic.

“…!”
Do-yoon was startled and stiffened.
‘Now that I came out of the egg… My magic level is level 7?’
Besides, the characteristics are not too flashy.
Tiamat smiled happily at Doyun’s reaction.
“It looks very good even in the eyes of the great warrior.”
“…Are dragons like this from birth?”
“Since it’s my child, it must be a little special. There is also the virtue of having a lot of high-quality auras by your side at the end of hatching.”
Doyun realized the greatness of the dragon race.
And at the same time, his eyes shone on the formidable talent in front of him.
‘If this child…’
Although it is a child that has just hatched, if it is raised well, isn’t it really suitable for the team’s wizard position?
“…”
Doyun looked at Tiamat, and Tiamat recognized the meaning of his gaze.
“I think you know what to say.”
“…Tiamat.”
“do whatever you want.”
“yes?”
He responded with an unexpected answer.
“Wasn’t the dragon never intervening in royalties?”
“I would have said. As the guardian of the continent, I had already decided to subdue the demon lord. It just failed.”
“ah.”
“I can’t be with you personally because of my wounds, but I hope my daughter can help too. Only when there is a future for the continent will the future for that child also exist.”
“…Thank you.”
“No thanks. Still, isn’t your will the first priority? Try persuasion.”
Tiamat shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, if you decide to be her partner early on, Tia will follow you everywhere like chewing gum.”
“…”
Doyun looked at Tiamat with salty eyes.
Was that the intention of applying polymorph to a newborn baby?
Also, Tia, who read Doyoon’s eyes, smiled like a snake.
“The Great Hero Roosevolnik is my son-in-law… It couldn’t be more perfect.”
“…until I save the continent, I have no time to care about anything else.”
“Who said what? Dragons live long. I can look after my grandchildren slowly, so don’t be impatient.”
“…”
Doyoon decided to just stop talking.
Doyoon lowered his head at the small body that was fidgeting in his arms.
Tia seemed to like Doyoon’s arms so much that she fidgeted and rubbed her face against his arms. hugged him tight
“Dad, smells good!”
“…Because he’s my brother.”
Then, I often looked up at Do-yoon, and whenever I met his eyes, I would smile.
Doyoon stroked Tia’s pretty forehead.
“Hi-Hi.”
Tia giggled and loved it.
“I said that children grow so fast.”
“okay. Since it has been in the egg longer than necessary, it will be much faster than other hatchlings. Because I’m already 70 years old.
Doyoon stroked Tia, and when the child wiggled in his arms, he would tickle her soft sides again.
Tia showed a very rich reaction like a child, and chattered really happily with my dad. Really, it was breathless.
“Hee hee hee! Kyaa-”
“This guy, this guy!”
“Crackle!”
Doyoon hugged Tia, who was already drenched in sweat, and stroked her wet forehead.
‘Ira…’
It’s a thought I’ve felt many times in my previous life watching Eloa and Brudet… but I thought it would be really nice to have a child someday.
Looking at the cute Tia, I thought of that again.
Tia soon fell asleep in his arms, and Doyoon asked Tiamat a question that suddenly popped up during the conversation.
“By the way, aren’t you the dragon lord? You decided to join the war, so why don’t the other dragons help in the war? Where are they?”
“Well…”
After thinking for a while, Tiamat answered.
