Chapter.19 Red Dragon and Dragon Beads

Several dragons flew into the Black Dragon’s sacred place.

Usually, those who stay in sacred places are ancient dragons nearing the end of their lifespan and dragons that have just been born. These dragons are obliged to stay in the sacred place and inherit various knowledge from the ancient dragon.

So, for dragons, a sacred place means a sacred place where death and birth coexist. This was a rule that not only Black Dragon but also other dragons followed.

The elder, who can be said to be the leader of the Holy Land, is currently absent due to a long peace agreement to end the war between the Red Dragon and the Black Dragon. Therefore, the current person in charge of the Holy Land was the oldest ancient dragon, Dihegma.

Niess, who was in his youth, came to Dehagma at this very moment. Dihegma is like an uncle to Nyeth.

Niess, who was now in his mid-thousand years, had a very warlike personality and was the leader of young dragons.

Of course, there was an important reason why Niess took advantage of the elder’s absence to come to the shrine. That’s why Niess started groaning as soon as he saw Dehagma.

“Uncle! How long should we leave that arrogant person alone? “I think it’s time to ignore promises!”

Dihegma quickly understood what his nephew was talking about. This is because it is so unusual for a dragon to make a promise with a human.

But Dehagma is an ancient dragon. There is no reason to get excited. Just calmly answer Niess’s questions.

“I know what you want to talk about. But haven’t those words already been said?”

It’s always the same answer. But Niess had no intention of backing down today. Now is an opportunity when there are no elders. There might not be any more chances. That’s why Niess came fully prepared.

“But uncle! Don’t you know that there aren’t enough dragons capable of giving birth? This has to do with the survival of our black dragon. In particular, Lurin is one of the few people in her age group… !”

While Niess was speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth. If your true feelings come out unnecessarily, it will be troublesome.

Niess was very unhappy with the fact that the female member of his clan, who should have been his exclusive possession, was being held captive by humans, but now he was thinking of appealing to something other than his true feelings.

It’s good that I had no choice but to borrow power because of the Red Dragon guys. But there is no need to beg until after that.

They are the best race on earth. Because it makes no sense to look at what anyone thinks. That was Niess’s idea.

“Anyway, it’s not wrong, is it? Already, the number of females has been rapidly decreasing recently. Too many people died in the last war! If we leave it like this, it will gradually decline. How long will you be dragged around and trampled by the Red Dragon? Uncle! There is no way that peace with those bastards will last long! In that case, what is at stake is Black Dragon’s survival. A promise to a human is not more important than the survival of your clan! “It’s meaningless!”

“Calm down, Niess. “It is impossible to disobey the will of the elders.”

“I am offended, uncle. What do you think of the reputation that Beren, the elder’s daughter, has tarnished? A person who has a great sinner as a daughter is still an elder! I definitely think he should have stepped down. “I mean, uncle, you should become an elder!”

“Nies! You’re going too far. “Shut your mouth!”

Dihegma’s piers filled the sacred place. Niess was startled by that angry voice and closed his mouth. Dihegma glared at Nyeth for a moment and then spoke again. His voice is still solemn.

“Certainly Beren committed a mortal sin. It’s high treason. But that has nothing to do with the elders. That is no justification. But seeing as you kept saying that, I was told there was a way? “A way to bring Lulin and punish that human without tarnishing our dragon’s face.”

Dehagma doesn’t like El as much as he likes. Of course, I had similar thoughts to Niess. I just think there is no way. Moreover, promises aside, that person was definitely outside the standard.

It would be different if all the young guys flocked in, but that would be a laughing stock for other races, including the red dragon.

When Dihegma asked, Niess opened his mouth with a look on his face that said, “This is the moment.”

“Of course. There is a ruse. This is how you get a good enough cause! No matter how strong you are, you are still only human. This time, I plan to finish it for sure. “If things go as I want, I don’t think there will be any harm to the clan, uncle!”

Niess was overflowing with confidence. It was because of that confidence that he came to visit his uncle. All preparations have been made so that we can proceed as soon as permission is given.

Take revenge on an arrogant person. And take Lulin. Two desires dominated Niess’s brain.

Niess, who had bullied Lurin since childhood by dismissing her as a dirty being, was very unhappy with the fact that she had given away what was hers to a human.

Just like I have since I was young.

A dirty being tastes good only when it is treated.

Niess thought it was more interesting than the entertainment that sweeps the human world.

“It’s a ruse. Is that so? As for me, I will not oppose it as long as there is a justification for it. “As long as there is a reason.”

It is certainly true that the number of dragons being born is decreasing. So, it is true that a young child who can increase the number is very valuable. Dehagma nodded slowly.

Of course, it was a backward idea.

If L, who lived in modern times, had heard this, she would have snorted.

After receiving permission from Dehagma, Niess secretly contacted Vaint of the Red Dragon tribe. It was also proof that El was more of a thorn in the eye than Red Dragon, who could be considered an enemy.

Moreover, Niess’s ultimate goal is to become the next elder. Therefore, he desperately needed the honor of being a dragon who had washed away his clan’s greatest stain of bending to humans.

As the leader of the young dragons alone, he is nowhere near Nyeth’s ambitions.

Not only did he receive help from El, but due to the rumor that the clan’s dragon was being held hostage, he was secretly ignored not only by Red but also by the Gold Dragon, and the dissatisfaction of the young Black Dragons was also significant.

Therefore, Niess planned to solidify his position by eliminating El. As Dehagma said, a justification is needed. So Nieth proposed a proposal to Vaint and his group, one of the factions fighting for power within the Red Dragons. Hoping that they will take the bait quickly.

“It means helping each other. Have you ever heard of exchange killing? “Red and we are eternal enemies, but we also need to secretly interact when necessary.”

“Exchange murder? “What benefit do I get from helping you guys?”

At Niess’s words, Baint snorted and looked at his group. The number of dragons gathered in the huge valley is 6.

Niess stared at Baint with a slight smile at his reaction.

“After investigating, I found out that there is a red dragon living near Gray City. Would you like me to use that red dragon? This is a story about trapping people. The price is high. Isn’t your goal also to take over the entire Red Dragon? “We all know that the biggest obstacle to that is Ronel’s group.”

“Nenoom! Where did you hear that? It’s funny. “There are no obstacles to me.”

Although he said so, Baint’s attitude clearly changed. The smiling face that said there was nothing to hear became serious. To be honest, it was true that Ronel was a thorn in the side of Baint. A being that I want to kill more than my main enemy, Black Dragon.

“Hmm, so?”

Beint showed interest despite his response.

When Baint said in a tone that asked him to tell her how to do it, Niess nodded and answered.

“If Ronel is a thorn in your side, then I am also a thorn in your side. “He’s a cocky human named El.”

“human? Oh, it’s him. “That arrogant human being who ate Lord’s heart.”

Baint also understood at once and nodded. It’s only natural since L has fought Red Dragon before.

“Of course he’s cocky, but that doesn’t really matter to me. “Like you said, Ronel is more annoying to me than other insignificant people.”

“Hehe, that’s it.”

“That’s it?”

“You have no justification for dealing with Ronell directly, you bastard.”

“That’s right.”

When Niess asked as if he knew everything, Baint nodded slightly.

“We will kill that Ronel.”

“Ronell?”

Black as a fighting race. Black dragons were pushed back in the last war due to the large number of red dragons, but black dragons are stronger in a pure one-on-one fight.

Black dragons were originally a species with the strongest attack power among gold dragons, red dragons, and blue dragons.

Then, as their population plummeted, they went through difficult times.

“A surprise attack is not difficult. You guys won’t succeed and there’s a big risk of being discovered by your own people, but I’m different. You can also borrow the power of treasures from the Holy Land. “I have your uncle’s permission.”

Of course, he didn’t even mention his plan to collude with Red Dragon. I just told him a series of plans to deal with El by setting a trap that he couldn’t escape.

“so? “What should I do?”

Beint immediately responded to Niess’s words. If you take care of Ronel, there is nothing better than that. In fact, there are too many eyes watching you to deal with it yourself, and if you deal with it secretly and your traces are discovered, it will be a mess.

On the other hand, if Niess handles it, in the worst case, the war between Red and Black will just flare up again.

Of course, if there is a Black treasure that Niess is so confident about, it is not impossible to deal with Ronel without any mouse or bird knowing.

For Baint, this is something worth taking a gamble on.

For that reason, Vaint took Niess’s bait. Niess nods, smiling that he has succeeded.

“In the aftermath of the last war, dragon attacks on human cities are currently prohibited by agreement. If you step forward first, you will be giving justification to other races. However, when it comes to punishing those who murder their own compatriots, it is a different story. This is where the red dragon I mentioned earlier appears.”

“The red dragon you mentioned earlier?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, you live near Gray City?”

“That’s right. According to information, an arrogant human appeared on the dwarven mountain near the red dragon’s territory. Isn’t this an excuse enough? What if the red dragon whose territory was invaded is dead in Gray City? It is not against the agreement to avenge one’s compatriots killed by humans or dragons. Living close to Gray City, I would have never met you if it weren’t for the Red Dragon who recently came into contact with Elnom, but that’s exactly what happened. “The ingredients are ready, so now all you have to do is eat with a spoon.”

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

Bayint started laughing out loud while listening to Niess. The Red Dragon’s fearful laughter echoed in the deep mountain valley.
