Don’t Run Away My Lord

86 – Dragon’s Nest (5)

“I can’t believe it’s her…”

“The lord’s engagement dragon has come again…!”

I got up from my chair and walked to the terrace.

However, cilia flies were not seen at the main gate of Yeongju Castle.

“Where is it?”

“It was identified and reported by the guards at the spire.”

The spire guard is a security method created under my instructions.

The highest spire of the Yeongju Fortress has four soldiers taking turns to keep a watchful eye on the castle.

The reason is, of course, to detect dragons approaching by flying early.

Especially dragons with six or five wings.

“They say it has five wings.”

“Yes, that’s right. If that’s the case, then it’s that crazy engagement dragon…!”

“Which one?”

“It was in the south. What should I do?”

I looked at the hazy and cloudy southern sky for a moment.

The black dragon with five wings was not seen there.

They are probably thinking of polymorphing in from near the city center.

“Get your horses ready. And you have work to do.”

“Please just order it.”

After giving Wolfert a few instructions, I left the office.

Ciliafari… Even though I have returned through time, the bitter relationship between you and me has not ended.

I’m sorry, but you will meet the same ending this time as well.

* * * * *

I rode a horse and slowly crossed the city center.

The residents of the territory who recognized me bowed their heads and retreated to both sides.

As I continued walking, I saw someone standing in the middle of the road in front of me.

The pale-skinned woman was as tall as me.

Her jet-black hair hung down to her waist like seaweed, and her eyes were wide and gloomy.

The woman, shrugging her shoulders and feeling intimidated, stood restlessly, and then her eyes met mine.

“We finally meet each other, Ergaduk.”

Black Dragon Ciliafari smiled eerily.

“Ciliapari. What happened so far?”

“I came looking for Ergaduk.”

He has jet-black hair and dark eyes just like me.

Celiafly with a pale complexion and sunken eyes.

I wish I had never met you. It’s not a bad thing that we met like this.

“How long have you suffered alone on this unfamiliar continent, Ergaduk? This cilia fly has been desperately searching for you?”

“I didn’t really have a hard time, Ciliafly. In fact, I had a much more enjoyable time than in the habitat.”

Ciliafari stumbled slightly as if shocked by my answer.

“You can’t do that, Ergaduk. You don’t mean it, do you? Ah, ah, ah. I understand. I understand now.”

A wry smile appeared on Ciliafari’s lips.

“Ergaduq has been severely brainwashed by humans, isn’t he? Isn’t that so? They’ve clearly brainwashed him into believing that life here on the barren human continent is happier than life in the rich habitat. Isn’t that so? , Mr. Ergaduk? And how can the word happiness exist without this ciliafly? It is misfortune, Mr. Ergaduk. Now that I am here, open your eyes to the truth.”

Ciliapari continued speaking in a somewhat angry tone.

“That’s right, Ergaduk. Just as the life of Ciliapari has become dry and impoverished without Ergaduk, so will Ergaduk. But it’s okay. This is how I found Ergaduk, right?”

“Ciliafari. I’m sorry, but isn’t it a bit much to say that something like that has ruined your life?”

“No!”

Siliafari screamed viciously.

“No! On the subject of the runaway fiancé! How dare you so simply dismiss the feelings of a fiancé who lost her fiancé?!”

I looked at her from afar.

Soon Celia’s face became pale and her hands began to tremble.

“Sin… I’m sorry, Ergaduk… I got so emotional when I saw Ergaduk that I stopped… I’m sorry… Please forgive this ugly ciliafly… “

I smiled.

“Ciliapari. I have no intention of returning to Seoseokji.”

“It’s okay, Ergaduk. Don’t go back to your habitat. Run away with me somewhere else, just the two of us. Where no one knows us. So, so we start all over again. Build a hut and make love together. “I will also give birth to and raise a Hechling that looks exactly like Ergaduk. What do you think? Do you like my idea? You will? You will like it. Because I want Ergaduk…”

“Stop.”

I resolutely cut off the same words I heard forty years later.

“I’m sorry for telling you the ending in advance, but Ciliafari, you cannot return from here alive.”

At my words, a strange smile appeared on Ciliafari’s lips.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

“That’s right. You’re the type of person who never gives up. You deserved to be killed from the beginning.”

“But Ergaduk. You cannot kill me. To kill me, you have to release the polymorph, and then you will be immediately detected by other clans. And even if I shoot a signal spell from here to the island, if…”

At that time, a playful voice suddenly came from behind me.

“Is your b*tch that crazy incestuous dragon?”

When I turned around, I saw Balder walking slowly from the portal.

Wolfert had summoned Balder at the right time.

I had already asked Balder for a favor in preparation for Ciliafari’s arrival.

As Celia Paris just said, there are quite a few restrictions on my ability to kill her with my own hands.

But Balder is different.

Balder, with a white flaming sword slung over his shoulder, looked at Celia Paris with a grin.

“It’s the dragon’s business. It’s not your place, you insignificant creature, to get involved…!”

Siliafari scolded him harshly, but Balder did not even raise an eyebrow.

“Erga, there’s no money in selling those scales, so let’s just burn them.”

“What…?”

Celia Paris’ body trembled at that absurd provocation.

As if the polymorph was loosening, black scales slowly began to sprout from her fingertips.

Balder, who saw it, said as if it was the same.

“I think you’re thinking of turning into a dragon… For what?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, human.”

A current of magical energy began to flow through Siliafari’s arms.

“But I know one thing. Humans who presumptuously interfere with the dragons’ affairs are very annoying.”

Balder seemed to have noticed the movement of his magic power as well, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

“Okay. If you really want.”

At the same time as Balder finished speaking, a thunderbolt fell from the sky onto Ciliafari’s head.

Her vision went white due to the powerful flash that blinded her and she temporarily lost her vision.

“I’m sorry, Erga. If you close your eyes for a moment and open them, you’ll see again.”

I slowly opened my eyes while listening to Balder’s voice.

Celia flies were not seen.

However, there was only ashes spread all around her on the paving stone where she was standing.

“Mr. Balder. Is that… Cilia Paris…?”

“Yes. It was struck by lightning and turned into ashes.”

“Did you bring down the lightning?”

Balder nodded his head.

I looked at the white shining sword still draped over his shoulder.

So that sword is the Holy Sword…?

The one given by God, the owner of this world…

No matter how polymorphed it is, it is a dragon and can be completely evaporated with a single lightning strike…

The wind began to blow and slowly scatter the ash on the floor.

While watching it, I didn’t feel any special emotions.

I can just relax now that the crazy dragon chasing me pathologically is gone.

That was it.

Balder said, rubbing the ashes with his feet.

“Mr. Erga. Are you done now?”

“Thank you. There are other clans still roaming around, but they may not be as persistent as this dragon.”

“It’s a different blood relative…”

Balder turned to me as he sheathed his sword.

“Would you like me to completely sort out those blood relatives?”

“What does organizing mean?”

Instead of answering, Balder tapped the ashes with the tip of his toe.

I smiled and shook my head.

“No, that doesn’t mean we can make them extinct.”

“Well, that’s true too. Then, if another dragon comes again later, please call me. There are people who are itching to not be able to hunt monsters right now.”

“Is there anyone else like Mr. Balder?”

“To be exact, they are other Balders.”

Balder told me briefly about his hometown as I was confused.

To summarize, there are dozens of Balder’s blood relatives living together whose physical abilities are equal to or superior to Balder’s, except that they do not hold a holy sword.

“Because I killed a lot of monsters while running around, the village men got impatient because they couldn’t go hunting in the winter. They’ll probably put everything aside and come running if I tell them to go hunt a dragon.”

“It gives me chills just listening to it.”

Balder grinned and held out his hand.

“Then let’s go back, Marquis. What kind of Marquis are you?”

“I am the Marquis of Caple. I am named after the tower that allowed me to reverse time.”

“Ah, yes, Marquis Caple. If you need anything, please contact me again.”

I also smiled and held his hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Balder. I am forever indebted to you.”

“I’m building up the debt in advance just in case a situation arises where I will definitely need to exploit Mr. Erga.”

“Just say the word at any time. Any time.”

Balder stopped while crossing the portal.

“Oh, and Keita is doing well. Magic research is also making progress. What is it? It’s something that incorporates Capel Tower’s magic management method… What was it?”

“Research on life extension magic that incorporates magic operation methods.”

“Ah, yes. That’s progress. We’ve extended the lifespan of mayflies by nearly a month.”

“That’s good news.”

“I’m coming to the estate once this week. I heard everyone wants to see it.”

“Tell Keita. He is not to return until he can capture and kill the dragon with magic.”

“Okay, then I’ll send you back in a hundred years.”

Leaving behind a humorous joke, Balder entered the portal completely.

“I’m just kidding. Tell him I’ll see you this week!”

As he shouted behind him, Balder’s hand came out and made a circle with his index finger and thumb. It meant that I knew.

The portal disappeared, and I got on my horse and headed toward the castle.

* * * * *

Marquis de Capel.

Take a leisurely ride through the city center of this wealthy territory on horseback.

The horse, in a good mood after being hit by the cool breeze, shook its head and purred, and the residents of the territory showed respect to me and made way for me.

In front of the lord’s castle, Liana, holding Erhina in her arms, was smiling brightly at me.

It was truly a beautiful sight.

I am Ergaduk, the Black Dragon.

A person who escaped from the clan island and became a human lord.

Going against time, overcoming hardships and adversity, we are moving towards a happy life in a new nest.

The end.
