I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

34. The Lloyder family

I passed through the tomb of the dead and headed to the mansion of Everin, descendant of the fallen dragon.

We were greeted by hard, hard ground rather than wet soil, and we often saw green bubbling venom.

‘Is that a dragon’s corpse?’

Huge ribs with no visible flesh were covered in venom and melting.

In terms of size, it would take about 20 humans to build a tower.

The surrounding area was so rugged that not a single ant could be seen, let alone a person.

“Yes, leader. We have arrived…”

Everin came down to the ground with a tiring tone.

The road we passed was bizarre, but the scenery we arrived at was even more bizarre.

The huge eyes guarding the main gate rolled their pupils back and forth as they checked the other person.

Soon the eyes recognized the owner and closed their eyes to greet them.

Kikkik.

When the door opens, go inside.

[Enter the mansion of Everin, descendant of the fallen dragon]

[You are consumed by fear. Stamina decreases by 50%]

[The revolutionary’s heart remains calm. Overcome fear]

Inside was a river of blood and dozens of bony fish inside it fluttered.

On the other side, the tentacles that guard the garden and the headless maids who manage it bow and greet each other.

‘I thought it was very bizarre in the game, but in reality, there are no haunted houses.’

If it wasn’t for the heart of a revolutionary, he would have died standing here by now.

The laid-back cat was also trembling and covering his eyes with his tail.

Overcoming hardships, he entered the mansion.

“Welcome home, lady.”

“”……””

An elderly butler bowed his head in front of the headless maids.

‘Everin’s butler, Cézanne Lloyder. Fortunately, it’s the same like a game.’

He’s the only manager here who can speak. The other caretakers all had no heads and could not speak.

“I’m back.”

“You’ve brought a guest. A man, too…”

Cézanne tore off her sweet glasses.

“You are a precious person. Treat me with the highest level of treatment.”

“Okay.”

Is it because of the mood that Cezanne’s eyes are sharp?

She was looking at me with very fierce eyes.

“Leader. Then I will go back to the Mortal Branch to discuss the current situation of the leaders and hold an important meeting. Please wait for a moment. I will build a door to return soon. Until then, this old man… Not the butler, Cezanne. I will guide you very comfortably.”

“Okay.”

Evelyn spread his wings wide and tried to fly away, but hesitated.

Then he walked quickly to Cézanne and whispered.

“…Your old man. He’s really, really, really, really precious, so don’t do your usual pranks. Never, okay?”

“Heh heh heh. He is a very handsome and precious man whom my young lady brought to us for the first time. Don’t worry, young lady. We will give you the utmost treatment even if it means giving our lives.”

“That’s not it…! Whoa. No, that’s okay. If you ask the leader later and hear that you’ve done something rude, he’ll come right away to cut your throat, so I know that.”

Cézanne replied with a nice white beard and her eye smile.

Eve Lin couldn’t get rid of the embarrassment, but he had no choice but to leave behind the scenes.

Flutter!

“I’m coming and going really fast! Please wait!”

***

The descendant of the fallen dragon, the Lloyder family.

Inside the huge mansion, there were red carpets, luxurious fabrics, and stairs to go up.

There was a picture of someone hanging on the front, but it was so large that you couldn’t even see the face.

When Evelyn, the owner, left, the headless maids each left to find something to do.

Cézanne, who only smiled, kept her seat, remaining silent.

I was anxious.

Standing there itself stimulated my senses.

“Welcome, lady’s friend. Could you tell me your name?”

“I don’t have a name. But people call me El, so call me whatever you like.”

“It’s El-sama. I understand. Just in case, do you have a ‘friendship’ with the owner?”

The butler opened his eyes slightly.

I could see the hidden four hundred eyes and pupils of a yellow beast like Evelyn.

‘Handsome.’

It was Cézanne’s first impression of El.

Excessively handsome.

Usually, dragons learn polymorph magic to reduce their gigantic size and live. The face obtained in the process is usually modified to suit one’s taste, but it is not decorated to the extent of breaking the rules.

In other words, a person who is ugly even as a dragon will be ugly even if he turns into a human.

Such a good-looking person was rare even among dragons.

‘How did my lady bring such a man?’

He was the kind of person who couldn’t touch a man’s hand, saying it was disgusting.

She felt strange.

‘You have to be more careful with this kind of guy. I don’t want an ignorant lady to be seduced by a fly.’

The lady also has a good appearance, so when she was young, she was called a walking celestial dragon.

Cézanne raised her guard against El.

“…The friendship is right.”

El did not understand Cezanne’s intentions.

She didn’t know what to answer, but she opened her mouth at once.

To be honest, I’m not friends with Evelyn, but I have to hide that I’m a leader.

“Hmm… Friends. Friends…”

Cézanne muttered suspiciously.

Was there anything strange about it?

The moment Cézanne held her monocle and pushed her face closer and closer.

“hahahahaha! That lady is your friend! This is unprecedented in my 500 years as a butler! I don’t think a grand celebration will be enough! Hey there, maid!”

Kirik.

“The lady called ‘friend’ for the first time! Send a congratulatory message to the land nearby for the lady’s first friend!”

Kirik.

The headless maid bent her back and moved.

‘Is this Evelyn’s butler? That’s amazing.’

It is very different from the game.

I was greeted as an enemy back then, but now I’m an ally. The treatment had to be different.

“Oh, excuse me for a moment. My lady has never brought a friend since she was born. And that’s a friend of the opposite s*x… I think the time has come for me to let her go too.”

Cézanne pretended to wipe away her tears with her handkerchief.

Keen eyes hid behind her handkerchief.

“Don’t worry. We’re not that close. I’ll see you soon.”

“Is that so? It’s because the lady’s eyes are very suspicious. I may ask, what is the reason El-sama came here?”

“Why are you here?”

“We didn’t come here just because we were friends. We are descendants of the fallen dragon.”

The descendant of the fallen dragon.

They are extremely reluctant even in the graves of the dead, and it is said that Jinryong directly steps in and crushes anyone who gets close to them.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a demon.

A creature whose survival instinct was imprinted on its body had no choice but to stay away from the descendents of the fallen dragon.

The reason Jinryong saves them is because they are the same dragon.

It was an unavoidable choice as the number of individuals was very small.

“I am also a butler. I mean the one who protects the young lady. No matter how precious the lady said, I have a duty to protect her. Therefore, I would like to ask you a few questions about whether you are really safe.”

“What if I refuse?”

“Rejection is rewarded with rejection.”

Cézanne smiled in the way of ‘try it if you can’.

The momentum leaking out little by little hinted that he would fight if he refused.

He answered with a smile.

“Okay. Ask me anything.”

“Then the first question. Let’s start with the simplest one. When did the great mortar that sits in the Tomb of the Dead come about?”

“Estimated 500 years ago. But actually 839 years ago.”

“…You know the actual day. First of all, being smart is a plus.”

Cézanne took out her notebook and pen from her form and marked her V. What do you mean?

“Next question. You must have seen the fountain of blood before entering. It is a fountain that we are proud of and has been with us forever. If so, whose hands did it build?”

“Isn’t that the great architect, Alexandra Royder? I got sick because he was so famous. He fearlessly entered the land of the fallen dragon and built it.”

“Ha ha ha! As expected, you know it well. We must have gotten a lot of allowances.”

“Although that money was eventually crushed by Jinryong.”

“…Anyway! Next. Why did we bear the stigma of being descended from the fallen dragon?”

Stigma. It meant a lot.

You are denying that you are not corrupted.

This story was also very popular.

“Just because he took a slightly different path from Jinryong, it only came into the eyes of old people with strong stereotypes. The king of dragons preferred the free path, but there were too many old people who said magic was right. The first head of the descendant of the fallen dragon. De Royder rebelled against the old man’s opinion and touched something that Magira shouldn’t touch, and as a result, Evelyn exists today.”

“…That’s right. If we had been stronger, we would have called it the new generation that will lead a new era, not corruption. Unfortunately, young people like Everin didn’t have the level of picking stars in the sky, so we failed.”

Cézanne bowed her head in her rising sorrow.

“Then next.”

“…Was there again.”

“This is the last time.”

What kind of question is the last one?

Catch a heavy and serious atmosphere.

I was certain that I would not be able to answer easily this time.

But this is a player who only enjoyed the D-Side game.

I couldn’t get tired of information.

‘Okay. Whatever comes.’

As soon as she finished her resolution, Cézanne’s mouth fell.

“Do you know what color the underwear you are wearing today?”

“…?”

“For reference, both top and bottom are the same color.”

What is it?

Isn’t this blasphemy?

It was when I was contemplating whether I should answer this or not.

“Ha ha ha ha! Just kidding, kidding. I don’t think I know the lady’s underwear. What a chastity lady you are. If you answered me, I would have killed you!”

…I think I heard something strange later.

A cold sweat ran down my spine.

“I apologize for the rudeness of the question.”

Cézanne bowed her head and apologized.

“It’s okay. It was to protect Evelyn.”

“As expected of a lady’s friend, you are generous. Then I will help guide you. Come this way.”

Cézanne introduced her room step by step.

A huge bloody kitchen.

A finger sofa to invite her guests and sit comfortably.

From the wing terrace where you can comfortably see the splendid garden, to the social gathering place where you can dance with headless demons.

It is a large mansion that is hard to find.

It must be at this point that you can be called a dragon.

“The last place is the ‘Loider Training Center’ that we often visit. Here, we grow into warriors or chess horses who will protect the lady later.”

Huh ㅡ Ha!

The smell of sweat exploded inside.

There were demons with four arms and female demons who looked delicate.

But the moment she swings her arm, it swells up and falls off, striking a distant target in an instant.

A space without a summit from one to ten.

All of them were protected by the descendants of the fallen dragon.

“Wouldn’t El-sama try it too? Our special ‘Loider Training Center’ promotes muscle growth, so those who experience it once die very well.”

“I-I’m fine…”

“hahahaha! Of course you’d love it! I haven’t seen a single person come this far and refuse this. If you try it, you’ll fall in love with it.”

It’s not like I’m dragging you to some kind of gym!

Cézanne grabbed her by the arm and dragged her along.

“Children! A friend of the lady’s here has come. We treat you well with a special course.”

“The lady’s friend…?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever done exercise because my body is so delicate… I like it. I like it very much.”

“Sniff, sniff. There was a dirty smell that was nice to smell from somewhere. It was that friend. It really has a strong male scent.”

“I can’t wait to be eaten. Don’t be in such a hurry, my friend.”

The demons with madness in their eyes drool.

– Nya, meow.

The cat that felt the danger escaped first.

“Wait a minute! I never said I was working out…!”

“hahahahaha! If you taste our Lloyder’s special training ground, you’ll stop thinking about going outside!”

After that, I worked out a lot.
