chapter 11
11 – One Guardian Dragon, Two Saints (1)
‘Gee, what is this really?’
When Han froze in panic at this unexpected situation happening right in front of his eyes.
There was a voice that woke him up.
Diring!
A message floated in front of Han along with a brief beep.
[Call up the status window to clearly understand your level and situation.]
‘This, this?’
It is a familiar sight that I have seen before.
It was the alarm of the translucent system.
A message window containing a set of information.
After reading the contents of the system he encountered when he first reincarnated into this world, he reflexively turned on the status window.
‘Status window.’
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
[Status window.]
Name: Guardian Han
Type: Holy Beast White Dragon (Hatchling Stage)
Characteristics:
– Shiny mania: Dragons prefer gold and silver treasures above all else.
– Dragon Scales : Dragon scales have a special magical energy than anything else. Scales that grow over a lifetime, only one scale grows at a time.
– Ice attribute power (F-minus grade): A power that handles some of the attributes of the natural world.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
There was something new there.
In his talent window, where there were only two before.
This time, something called ice attribute power had increased.
At the appearance of a new element that appeared in a situation where Han could not even properly grasp the reason, he quietly looked into it.
But at that moment.
Diring!
[The elemental power refers to some of the energy and mana that exist in the natural world. It is possible to use the substance by raising the will and releasing it to the world.]
[Concentrate your mind, bring out your inner coolness. You will feel the power of the most basic source of the white dragon.]
‘Uh…’
A series of unknown, unknown sounds continues.
However, the message did not turn off unlike before.
It just stayed where it was. Like. As if Han was doing something.
‘Wait a minute. Is this…’
Ice attribute power. And, as if to tell him how to use it, a message popped up in front of his eyes.
As I looked at it, there was something that struck me.
In that case, there was probably only one thing that came to mind.
‘Is this message telling me that I want something?’
Let’s think that far.
No matter how much he did, he couldn’t go unnoticed.
‘Then I have no choice but to move as I want.’
I wondered who actually sent this message.
Nevertheless, I was convinced that this must have something to do with the element of something that sent him to this unknown world.
It feels like a tutorial.
It felt as if I was guiding him who knew nothing.
In that case, there must be only one thing Han can do.
‘Okay. Let’s try it.’
He squinted his eyes, silently focused as the system’s message indicated.
He even focused his consciousness on his own body for a moment.
Instantly, Han felt something cold coming from inside.
Familiar feeling. It was a familiar feeling.
Are you pulling it out as if you were touching it?
At that moment, a completely incomprehensible phenomenon happened right in front of my eyes.
A cold wind blew softly from inside the room at that moment.
The curtains hanging by the window and the hem of the fluffy blanket began to flutter and flutter in the wind.
‘Oh-…’
At that bizarre sight, he blankly stared at the window.
The curtains fluttered gently and a gentle breeze blew.
It was a strange sight.
It felt as if a cold wind was spreading around him.
Thanks to the very weak wind, only Han noticed it.
The maids, who were far away, were just busy walking down the aisle without noticing it.
A bird blankly watching Han.
The message that had just floated before his eyes disappeared, and instead, a message from the system containing a new message appeared again.
Diring!
[Congratulations!]
[Acquiring weak enlightenment, new abilities have been unlocked!]
[Ice property power (Grade F) is added.]
The level of elemental power has risen further.
From an F minus grade to an F grade.
That moment.
Hwiooong-!
A chilly wind that could be seen just by looking at it began to blow around him.
Unlike before, a sudden fierce wind shaking the surrounding objects in earnest.
It was only natural that the eyes of the people around him turned to him.
Flutter! Flutter!
In the room where the resentment was held, the curtains fluttered mercilessly, and the hem of the blanket fluttered.
[Uh, uh uh…]
[Me, what is that?]
To the sudden change in which objects began to flutter.
The countless eyes watching from outside the door widened.
Han stood at the center of the wind.
One of the maids, who watched the nonsense with her mouth open, called out in her trembling tone to her maid Jang, who was standing next to her.
[Ha, the maid?]
[J, go right now, butler Garcion, ah, no! Call Grand Duke Lucrezia, hurry!]
At the urgent call of the maid.
[Ah, I see!]
One of the maids, who hurriedly lifted her apron, hurriedly runs down the hallway and disappears.
In that riotous fuss.
In an instant, Han’s gaze turned to that direction.
‘What is it?’
His concentration was broken by the sound of running footsteps and the muttering of people.
The power of the cold attribute power, which had been fluttering and shaking violently, gradually calmed down.
[Kiki-.]
Han frowned as if he didn’t like it.
‘Why are they in a frenzy, those guys?’
* * * *
“Then, I will leave. Lord.”
“Let it be.”
Archduke Lucrezia waved his hand at the sight of the Garcion house owner lowering his head.
It was a congratulatory order.
Kik-, thump.
The butler cautiously stepped back and closed the door.
Looking away from the closed door, she returned to the stack of papers.
In the office, left alone again, she began to concentrate.
‘Hmm…’
In her eyes that resemble pure white eyes, a sign of worry was reflected.
It was because there was a pile of things to do.
‘Time is tight. The dispatch to the mountains has been delayed, and the monsters have to be dealt with. Besides… Considering Lucia’s entrance ceremony next year, do I have to send a telegram to the Empire?’
Thinking of the things I need to do.
It was when she, who had swallowed her sigh that was trying to escape her, picked up her pen again.
Tadadak.
There was a commotion outside the door.
I heard the footsteps of someone hurrying up.
I hear Deacon Garcion’s voice asking a question as if wondering.
“Hmm? Aren’t you Ermil? What’s going on, all this way?”
“Go, Chief Garcion…! I have something urgent to tell you!”
The voice of butler Garcion, who had just gone out into the hallway, and the maid urgently calling out to him.
“…?”
The gaze of Archduke Lucrezia, who had just started paying for the bundle of documents, naturally turned to the outside of the door.
Chief Garcion was in charge of managing the small and large affairs of the castle.
She is supposed to end up in his line to the extent that most of her work does not come up to her.
So again, Lucrezia lowered her eyes and tried to organize the stack of papers.
If it wasn’t for the voice of the maid behind him.
“That, that’s what the Guardian Dragon said…!”
At that sound, Archduke Lucrezia immediately stood up.
She stretched out her long, white legs and headed for the door, which was firmly closed at once.
Kik-.
Then he pushed open the door with all his might, staring at the maid and head butler Garcion beyond with his characteristic cold gaze.
“What is it?”
“Your Highness, Grand Duke…!”
At that moment, when her eyes met, the maid, whose eyes suddenly widened, hurriedly lowered her head.
“Meet the Archduke!”
But before that, she asked why.
“I asked what was going on.”
“Ji, just now, Guardian Dragon-nim has awakened to the ‘sacred’!”
“…What?”
At that sound.
The eyes of Archduke Lucrecia widened slightly.
At the mention of that totally unexpected sound.
Her eyes cast a slightly startled look.
‘…Already?’
That’s because it was something I didn’t think of at all. That would be the case, and it was much sooner than she originally expected.
Besides, there was one more embarrassing thing.
‘It must have been only a couple of hours at most that I gave away her snowball. How could he have already awakened to divinity?’
Divinity is, above all else, their power to make dragons into dragons.
As far as she knew, no matter how special the dragon’s birth was, it took several days for the divine awakening.
In fact, the journal she kept on her ancestor’s record book was also written that way.
But it’s only been a while since I accepted the snowball, but I’m already awakening my strength?
But the panic was only short-lived.
Managing her quick look, she asked her maid.
“Has there been any other abnormalities?”
“This, as soon as I confirmed the incident, I immediately came to see the Grand Duke, so I don’t know the rest!”
“I see.”
Once again, she went back to her own desk, took out her ancestor’s old record book, and said.
“Okay. Let’s go right now And you should call Lucia right now.”
“Oh, I see!”
“Ah. Wait a minute.”
And then, to the figure of the maid running away in a hurry.
As if he had belatedly remembered, Archduke Lucrezia stopped.
She gave her final orders to her maid.
“It’s a little earlier than planned, but tell them to light the altar too. I will start copulation right away.”
