The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 120

120 – 116.Dragon of the City of Joy-2

Cheongdamgak is called the landmark of Yuran.

A tall building with a stone statue of a blue dragon on the roof.

It was also called the nest of Cestia, the daughter of the blue dragon, the ruler of the south.

On the top floor of Cheongdamgak, the finest furniture and state-of-the-art facilities airlifted from Einharden are located.

A woman was holding her eyes close to one of them, the magicong telescope.

“Lady Sestia. We are now receiving reports of clashes between our organization and the opposition at the entrance to the city.”

“Yeah, I’m watching it now.”

“Lin-nim took the vanguard, and the war situation was not bad, but an elf, who was not in the data, intervened and turned it upside down in an instant.”

“I know.”

“So, this time, the military project team newly developed a weapon… ….”

“Hey.”

“Yes, yep!”

The secretary’s mouth fell shut at the coldly subdued voice.

Sestia lowered her telescope for a moment and glared at her secretary with her sidelong glance.

The muscles of the whole body atrophied due to the sharply erected vertical pupil.

The strongest kind of intimidation. Even with human blood mixed in, dragons were dragons.

“Didn’t I say I knew? But why do you keep beating yourself up?”

“I’m sorry!!”

“Don’t bother me. Even if you don’t say it one by one, I know it roughly.”

“Yeah… !”

“Go away if you know.”

“Excuse me!”

A secretary who hurriedly goes out with her back turned.

Confident that he would be eaten if he further irritated Cestia, he fled.

With the annoying secretary gone, Sestia looked into the distance through the telescope again.

The scene where the white dragon faction and the blue dragon faction are fighting for a while.

Sestia’s expression was very calm even as she watched countless people fight.

It was because the fight was not enough to make the dragon’s blood boil in her body.

At least, Lynn, whom Cestia had been eyeing, was fighting splendidly, but it was regrettable that her opponent was a mediocre person.

“It’s boring.”

Even though forces that wanted to bring her down appeared, Cestia did not have any tension.

Because she’s never been a threat to her.

It is futile and futile.

At the time she was harboring such sentiments, her Cestia’s eyes were young.

The place where her eyes landed was not the scene of the fight, but the carriage far behind.

It was a man who came out of there with a deep sigh.

‘…… Strong.’

There were many loopholes on the surface, but it seemed that if they attacked, they would avoid it in any way.

A strong person is not someone who exudes a strong presence.

She has the leeway to respond to any variable, and the one who hid her power so that she could not predict her opponent was the one Cestia thought was strong.

And those who fit that image arrived in the city.

“This must be fun… ….”

A smile was drawn on Cestia’s hard expression.

As if she couldn’t stand it because she was looking forward to what would happen in Yuran in the future, she began to laugh softly.

She couldn’t take her eyes off her man for a while.

***

“Maybe this is good… ….”

As Marianne joined the White Dragon faction, the power balance between the two sides was properly adjusted.

The problem is that being balanced doesn’t make things better.

My goal was to dissuade the fight, not seek an equal fight.

[The best way to stop a fight is to defeat the enemy general.]

‘It’s an enemy general… ….’

The enemy commander of the blue dragon faction was Rin, but the white dragon faction did not see a clear enemy commander.

So the situation was ambiguous.

I can’t harm Rin, and I don’t know who the White Dragon faction should defeat.

‘That method was dismissed.’

[Then I guess I have no choice but to surprise everyone on the battlefield with overwhelming power.]

‘Is that the only way… ….’

The best way is to send sword energy and split the ground.

I couldn’t openly expose the demonic sword in front of people.

If the sword doesn’t work, the only power I can use is magic.

I was thinking of using magic to physically end the war.

[What are you planning to do?]

‘I’m going to turn the whole area into ice.’

[Hoo?]

An important factor in winning or losing a fight is balance.

When the balance is broken, gaps are revealed and the neck is given to the opponent.

In that sense, if you knock everyone off balance with ice, the fight will stop for a while.

If everyone falls, I’ll build a wall of ice the size of a castle wall in the center to separate the two camps.

Then everyone will be in awe of me. It was a perfect plan.

“The power should be enough for a level 5 wizard to use.”

[Grade 5?]

“Then where… !”

[Now, wait a moment!]

From noble mtl dot com.

“Ice Field.”

Damn-!

By flicking his fingers, he manifested magic that turned the ground into ice.

From me, the icy road stretched out like the roots of a tree.

In a matter of hours, the ice that reached the battlefield touched everyone’s feet.

Now, if everyone falls amicably…….

“Huh?”

Bad-!

Far from falling, everyone’s feet were glued to the floor.

Only the icy road I made was not satisfied with the ground, but I rode on people’s legs and extended my whole body.

“What is this?!”

“Sa, save me!”

“It’s cold! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!”

As they were turning into ice statues one by one, Prach’s lamentation could be heard.

[As a follower of Friedhart, have you forgotten that the power of magic is amplified?]

‘De, that’s what I heard.’

[Even though you have adjusted your strength, your realm jumps up a notch only with ice magic. Because of that, I only had to pay a fortune to make everyone freeze.]

‘… ….’

[You seem to be a bit aware of what your fault is.]

‘I have a sudden thought, but if I stimulate it after defrosting only a specific part, will there be any pleasure even when it is completely thawed later?’

[Contractor, have you finally turned around?]

In the end, I was severely scolded by Prach, and the war between the White Dragon faction and the Blue Dragon faction came to an end temporarily.

***

“This way.”

As the case was over, we were being guided by a person who seemed to be an official of the White Dragon faction.

I had to visit the White Dragon faction first to give Renee a prickly word.

So I came to this pub with a good atmosphere.

Like a bar in a western movie, it was made entirely of wood, and inside, a bartender and a female dancer were preparing for business.

“Is this the right place? It looks like a tavern that is still preparing for business, doesn’t it?”

“You don’t have to worry. This place is undoubtedly the hideout of the White Dragon faction.”

A young guide who casually enters the wine cellar without the owner’s permission.

Walking to the right corner of the warehouse, he bent his knees and pulled a small stick protruding from the floor.

Then the stairs to the basement appeared in front of us.

“Just keep following me.”

He took out a torch near the entrance and skillfully lit the oiled cloth.

It seems to be a secret passage to the hideout of the White Dragon faction.

hahahaha, since the ruler of Yuran is Cestia, the White Dragon faction is a rebel group.

To avoid being subjugated by the Blue Dragon faction, the hideout had to be hidden.

“Can I ask you a few questions while we go to Renee?”

“You can ask anything.”

“What is the reason why you white dragon faction rebelled against Sestia?”

“…… There are a variety of reasons, but to name a few representative examples would be extortion, fraud, and frequent beatings.”

“The leader of Yuran did that?”

“Except for the beatings, everything was done by those under the umbrella, but anyway, since the water above is rotten, the water below must naturally rot.”

“So you mean overthrowing?”

“Yes. Many people suffered from Cestia’s tyranny, and some even committed suicide because they couldn’t stand it.”

Pudeuk-!

Looking at the angry young man clenching his molars, it doesn’t seem like he made up his mind.

It was an expression that could not be made without sincere anger.

I kept quiet because it seemed like his tantrum would rise if I asked him further.

In a yard full of victims, there was no time to listen to each other’s stories one by one.

I have no intention of sympathizing with her.

“This is it. Over here, Rene-sama is waiting for Vern-sama.”

“Ah, thank you.”

After leaving the young man who guided me, I pulled on the doorknob and went inside.

After I opened it, I realized that I forgot to knock.

But since it’s between me and Rene, it’s okay, right?

“Whoa… ! Have you lost your cowardice? Do you have the guts to enter my room without knocking?”

Renee is shaking a wine glass with her back turned.

Wearing a black fedora and a black suit, she was like a mafia boss.

It was a fashion that let me know that I am the boss of this place.

“I will give you a special choice. Either bow your head right away or leave the organization if you don’t like that.”

“…… What are you doing?”

“Eh?!”

As soon as Renée, who was showing only her back, heard my voice, she was startled and immediately turned back.

Faced with her face, she opened her mouth and continued to chew on her words.

Renee’s face turned red in an instant, as if she knew that she had done something embarrassing.

“Bern, Mr. Bern! It’s not like that… !”

“Congratulations, you have evolved from a light dragon to a black flame dragon.”

It was the moment when Renee’s dark history was renewed.
