286 – 274.7 Days of Dragon-3
“It’s noon at the moment, so how about having a meal and conversation at my mansion?”
The smell that Bern smelled was not just that of a chicken coop.
‘My back hurts.’
Sometimes there was someone who tried to approach me in a friendly way for some purpose, and the woman in front of me was like that.
Although she did not have the ability to discern malicious intent like Breeze’s mother and daughter, her significant experiences made Verne suspicious.
The sympathetic eyes of the residents, the meaningful words of the jewelry store owner, and the village chief expressing his goodwill.
There were an absurd number of factors that raised suspicion.

But Bern waved her hand with a smile that showed no signs of caution.
“Thank you for the recommendation, but I have one more companion. Even so, I stopped by this store by myself for a while because I felt like I might not have enough travel expenses while I was having a meal with my group.”
“Then how about the group come to my mansion together?”
“I think it’s an issue that needs to be decided after talking with the parties involved.”
“I see. “Then, I will send an attendant to the restaurant where you are staying, so I would appreciate it if you could let him know your decision as soon as you finish discussing it with your group.”
“I understand.”
“It’s okay if you refuse, but I expect a positive response if possible.”
The village chief turned his back gracefully and walked out of the store with a haughty gait.
Before she passed the door, she glanced at Vern from the corner of her eye and left, so I could tell that she was putting unspoken pressure on the store owner.
It was a look of rebuke to the store owner who was trying to carelessly reveal her secret.
With this, there was no possibility that the store owner would answer even if Bern asked again.
For the store owner, Bern may be just one of those passing connections.
While the chief stayed in this village, he was someone he had to face every day.
“Now that the price negotiations are over, I hope you will pay the amount soon.”
“Ah… ! Yes, please wait a moment!”
Bern was also aware of this fact, so he left the store without saying a word, taking only a bag of gold coins.
She might be able to get information if she asks persistently, but she doesn’t know what kind of harm she will face if she does.
Furthermore, it wasn’t a story worth making Breeze wait for.
The chief of a remote village and Gwangryong, who dominates the northern region.
It was rude to compare which was more important.
“I’ve been there.”
“A little late?”
“I’m sorry. “On my way, I received a recommendation from the village chief.”
“What recommendation?”
“A recommendation for a meal. “He also said he wanted to hear my story.”
“So are you going?”
“That can’t be right. “For me, eating with Mr. Freeze is more important.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Breese smiled brightly at Bern’s firm words.
No matter what choice he made, even if I tried to respect him as much as possible, I couldn’t erase the feeling of disappointment.
But Breeze couldn’t help but be happy to see that he valued time with her without any hesitation.
“Let’s eat quickly! “I didn’t even lift a spoon until you came!”
“If I hadn’t come back, I would have been in big trouble.”
“hehehe, that’s right!”
The two started eating while smiling at each other.
Breese hungrily ate the dishes piled on the table, while Bern took small portions of the food and savored the taste.
The way of eating was clearly different, but there was no discomfort. Rather, a friendly scene unfolded.
Breeze offered Verne some of her delicious food, and Verne wiped her dirty mouth.
As the refreshing meal ended, a thought suddenly appeared in Bern’s head.
‘Isn’t this a perfect couple?’
If you say it out loud, it is not strange to be criticized by people around you, asking if you are finally realizing it.
Bern’s ears were turning red when he realized this fact too late.
On the other hand, Breeze, who was not thinking about such things at all, was stroking her stomach and laughing loudly.
“Whoa! Well done! The food in the human village was also delicious.”
“I’m glad you found it in her mouth well.”
“Yes! But I still like the food you prepare better!”
“Even if you say that, I will definitely leave in 7 days.”
“I just expressed my thoughts honestly, but don’t you think it’s too much to take it that way?”
“I’m sorry. “I will be grateful for Mr. Freeze’s praise.”
A casual conversation passes between Breeze, who pouts her mouth, and Bern, who flexibly avoids responsibility.
After that, a moment of silence passed, and Verne told her what had just happened.
“Mr. Freeze, there is something I would like to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“This is the story about the village chief’s invitation to eat, which I just mentioned.”
“Didn’t you say you refused?”
“Yes, but right after that, the village chief said that we could also bring Mr. Freeze. “Meal time is over, so I think they’re probably preparing refreshments.”
“Aha! “You were inviting me to come with you!”
“No. “I brought this up to ask permission to go alone.”
Breese’s eyebrows twitched.
It was an offensive statement.
But Breeze was unfazed and asked questions as usual.
“Why?”
“I received strange rumors and impressions from the village chief. “Maybe it’s my imagination, but it looks like he’s committing evil deeds.”
“…… “Why are you trying to expose the village chief’s evil deeds?”
“As you know, isn’t this village also within Mr. Freeze’s territory? “If there are evil deeds taking place in the realm of the sacred light dragon, they must be corrected.”
“That’s my job. “There is no need for you to step forward.”
“I know. So, I think I will leave the condemnation to Freeze. “I will just investigate.”
“I thought you said there was no need to come forward?”
“Please reconsider. “If Mr. Freeze comes in person, the village chief will most likely hide or destroy the evidence.”
“I am the law here, so what good is evidence?”
“Freeze’s influence is strong, so there won’t be any problems even without him. But what do others think? The light dragon will be viewed not as an idol and an object of worship, but as an object of oppression and fear. I don’t want people to think of Mr. Freeze like that. So, I hope you will allow me to prove the village chief’s denial.”
Breese said nothing to Bern’s earnest request.
I came to the human village to have a fun date with him.
However, as they get caught up in something unexpected, their date plans are in danger of being ruined.
Of course, I wanted to firmly refuse, saying no.
‘There’s no way I can do it…’ ….’
Bern expressed his desire to uncover the village chief’s corruption for Breeze’s sake.
Originally, the person who should have bowed his head and asked for the favor should have been Breeze, not Bern.
In such a situation, she could not express her refusal.
“Okay. “Instead of accepting your request, I will engrave a magic imprint on you.”
“Magic engraving?”
“It’s a location tracking spell that can find out where you are. “If you don’t engrave it, I’ll never send it to you!”
“…… All right.”
“Then follow me.”
Breeze stood up from her seat and went outside.
Bern finished paying for the food in a huff and followed her.
As she came out of her shop, the servant whom the village chief had placed on standby was trying to talk to Bern.
“Hike!”
Breeze’s murderous gaze turned to her servant.
Dragon Fear. The intimidation that Choi Kang-jong was able to produce made the servant’s legs stiffen.
Bern asked for her understanding to wait a moment as she would come back soon, and she followed Breeze.
“If I were to do it, I wanted to do it after setting the mood in my nest, not in a dark place like this.”
“It is a matter of engraving an engraving. Is it really necessary to go to that length?”
“That’s because it’s not an ordinary engraving. Anyway, take off your top first!”
“Yes? “Take it off?”
“Take it off immediately!”
“Okay, I understand! “Let me take it off so I can take it off!”
Bern took off her top, stopping Breeze who was trying to force her to take it off.
The cool air passed over his bare skin, making him shiver.
‘Why do they make you take off your clothes when you can just roughly carve it on the back of your hand?’
Bern couldn’t understand Breeze’s unexpected behavior.
As he stood quietly waiting, Breeze slowly approached him and she placed her hand on his chest.
As a warm hand touches my chest, an indescribable feeling of shame arises.
Breese was quietly reciting the dragon saying and preparing for the magic imprint.
“Are you even using dragons and verbs?”
“Be quiet.”
Dongeon magic is different from general magic.
Dragon magic that can be called unique magic of the dragon, for the dragon, and by the dragon.
The power of magic is close to hundreds of times greater, and unless it is the same dragon magic, it cannot be interfered with.
For example, the fire created by a dragon cannot be extinguished with ordinary water, and dispel magic does not work.
‘The downside is that you have to chant along with the magic circle… ….’
If it only appears, it shows off its unbelievable power.
That’s why Bern couldn’t understand Breeze’s actions, including his use of magic inscriptions and eloquence.
“It’s done!”
“Oh… ? “Are we done?”
“Yes, it’s over!”
“But there is no engraving?”
He placed his hand on Bern’s chest and used magic, so the tattoo had to be engraved on his chest.
However, since his chest was clean, it was no different from when he took it off.
When Bern was confused and questioned this fact, Breeze smiled.
“Of course it won’t be visible. “Because I engraved it on your heart, not your chest!”
“Yes?!”
“If you do this, unless someone cuts out your heart, I can find out where you are, right?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… ….”
“If you wish, we can be together forever. For the rest of my life…… hehehe!”
The hidden side of an innocent personality.
It was Bern who felt something was wrong.
