Episode 211
EPISODE.106
The place where the old voice, the female dragon, took Russell was to a reception room set up in one corner of the nest.
‘I never thought there would be a space like this inside the nest.’
The height from floor to ceiling is approximately 3 meters. In between, there were a few round tables and chairs designed in an old-fashioned way, and on the ceiling, a chandelier that looked expensive at first glance was shining, scattering light here and there.
‘On the way there, it seemed like there were a few more rooms besides the living room… … .’
It looks completely different from the dragons’ nests I’ve seen so far.
Is the nest of female dragons or earth dragons special?
If not, does the nest change depending on each dragon’s personality?
That was when Russell was thinking about that.
Sigh.
The door opened and someone came into the living room.
It was a female dragon transformed into a humanoid, with beautifully swept yellow hair and a wrinkled face.
“Hol ho ho.”
There was clearly something about personal taste, and the extravagant attire caught the eye.
Even though it appeared to be of a fairly old style, the dress she was wearing looked new.
And the beautiful frills and jewels decorated here and there.
In addition, she wears a fist-sized diamond necklace around her neck and a thick topaz ring on her finger.
“I don’t know if I’ve kept my little master waiting too long.”
Buuung with words. widely.
Teaware that appeared to have just been prepared flew through the air and was placed on the table.
Rattling, rattling-.
The female dragon spoke as she used magic to brew tea without touching it.
“Before going to sleep… … “I bought this car a long time ago, and it was in good condition, probably thanks to the preservation spell.”
As the water boiled, a unique tea scent that I had never felt before burned my nose.
“Try it.”
Amber tea water, whoop-.
Russell, who had been clearing his throat without thinking, opened his eyes in surprise.
“This-!”
“This is a tea that some people from the Age of God enjoyed drinking a long time ago. It is made from dried moss, which grows only in the upper part of Yggdrasil, a sacred tree, and has the effect of clearing the mind and purifying mana when worn. Hol, hole, hole.”
However, because the price was more than ten times more expensive than the same volume of gold, the explanation continued that only a few people in the New Dynasty could drink it.
‘A tea that purifies mana…’ … .’
For wizards and Auror practitioners, the explosive power that can be produced varies depending on the purity of magical power, so it is a treasure that is no different from a priceless treasure.
“I don’t know if I can drink such a precious treasure so easily.”
The female dragon with the appearance of an old woman shrugged her shoulders at Russell’s muttering.
“Anyway, this is the last thing I have left. Besides, the time left for this old man is not that long. Holhole.”
After saying that, she moistened her lips with tea and bowed her head slightly towards Russell.
“It’s a little late, but I’d like to say hello to the little master. A subspecies that succeeds the earth dragon’s realm. The female dragon is called ‘Ophela Lu’. Please call me Opella. Hol, hole, hole.”
“Russell, this is Russell Raymond.”
“Hello, Russell Raymond. “That is the little master’s name.”
How many times did he mumble Russell’s name, as if trying to remember it?
Rattling-.
“I think this old man has a lot of things that the little master is curious about. Holhole.”
Opella put down the teacup she was holding.
“I don’t have very long time left, but it would be nice if this old man could answer some of the little master’s questions.”
Hall hall hall.
If she has any questions, she seems to be asking as much as she wants.
In response to that question, Russell lightly rubbed the tips of his thumb and index finger.
‘What should I ask?’
I’ve encountered dragons twice so far, but unfortunately I’ve never had a chance to have a proper conversation with them.
That’s because they had so little time left.
“The solvent… … .”
Russell, who had been choosing a question for a while, opened his mouth as if he had decided.
“What kind of being is a solvent, and why did I become a solvent?”
“This is one of the most fundamental questions. Hol, hole, hole.”
She took a breath, about half a breath, and started talking with deeper eyes.
“A solvent is… … .”
The Dragon Emperor was literally the ruler of all dragons and the master of the species.
“It is also the source of all dragons.”
“You mean the source?”
“yes. “If the Dragon Lord did not exist, dragons would not be able to exist in this world.”
Russell, who was fumbling for the meaning of those words, asked back with a start, as if something had occurred to him.
“Then why are there so few dragons left in this era?”
In response to Russell’s question, Opella nodded with a sad expression.
“A great master, the ancestral Dragon Emperor. This is because the Dragon God King passed away into the embrace of nature. Hol hole… … .”
“Dragon God King.”
When the story about the Dragon God King came up, Russell focused more on the story.
According to Opella’s explanation, the Dragon God King was a being who lived for eons.

The reason the Dragon God King faced death was none other than the wounds he received from a series of battles with those who disturbed Middle-earth.
“Giants, demons, evil spirits, cult transcendents, etc… … He has fought so many beings with him.”
Her eyes suddenly sank deeply, as if she was reminiscing about that battle.
It was only for a moment that Ophela quickly regained her color and spoke while looking at Russell with clear eyes.
“And the reason the little master has become the new Dragon Emperor is because you are his last remaining descendant. To be more precise, we should say that we are descendants of him and the Savior of the Other World.”
“Otherworld Savior… … .”
“It refers to a companion who came from another world and saved this world with our king. “Now that I think about it, your black hair looks exactly like that of an otherworldly savior.”
Only then did it feel like the scattered puzzles were coming together one by one.
Even why the ring that was my mother’s keepsake reacted to the heart of the dragon stored in the museum.
‘My mother… … He was a descendant of the savior of the other world.’
I didn’t know if you knew that fact.
“Then what are the second generation dragons…?” … “Are you talking about those who, like me, have inherited the dragon’s kindness and have awakened to become the next generation of dragons?”
It was a question I asked while thinking of Iona, who was turning into a silver dragon at a fairly fast rate, and Pepper, who was turning into a fire dragon in the spirit world.
“That’s right.”
She nodded to Russell’s question.
“And I, too, am in the midst of deciding on the child who will inherit my power and become the next dragon. Hol, hole, hole.”
“A little while ago… … ?”
Ophela moved her gaze to see Russell asking back.
I muttered while staring at someone in the distance, outside the nest.
“Out there, there was a girl who inherited the blood of a fire dragon. Although it is not an earth dragon, it is also clearly a dragon. Hall hall hall. “As he has strong skills, he will be able to accept my strength well.”
.
.
After that, Russell and Opella had some more conversations.
What is the most memorable among them?
‘The Dragon God King was very interested in the game that the other world savior often talks about.’
‘He really liked the structure where a clear reward is given for certain actions or efforts. Holholhol.’
─Is this the reason why the Dragon God King’s power was passed on to him through the structure of missions and rewards?
After ten minutes of asking such trivial questions, the tea water that had been boiled for the first time was cooling down to lukewarm.
“Umm… … .”
While speaking, Ophela suddenly fell asleep, clutching her chest.
“Are you okay?”
“yes. I’m fine, but… … “It looks like this old man’s time is almost up.”
“That means… … .”
Just like the silver dragon, it is time for Opella to be returned to the bosom of nature.
“It was only natural that it should be like this from the beginning, as it was only in a long sleep period to prolong its short lifespan in order to meet its little owner. Hol, hole, hole.”
After saying that, she slowly got up from her seat.
“But before that, there is something I must personally convey to the little master.”
“For me?”
“Please follow me.”
She patted her chest several times, adjusted her shoes, and stood up with a meaningful look on her face.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
As she left the living room, the direction she took was in front of the huge stone gate located inside the nest.
She stopped in front of him and reached for the door, but then turned her head.
“Little master, in your opinion, my nest is very different from the nests of other dragons you’ve seen so far, right?”
“Oh, yeah… … .”
“It has to be that way. I am a subspecies of earth dragon. “It is a dragon with the power of the earth and holds all kinds of precious things.”
After saying that, Opella pushed the stone gate in front of her with all her might.
“The reason the dragons in novels and stories covet gold and silver is because they were inspired by our earth dragons. Hol, hole, hole.”
Cough keug keung-.
The stone door opens on both sides with a heavy sound, and immediately bright light pours in from inside.
Hahahaha!
A feast of jewelery in all its natural colors instantly confused my eyes.
“Ugh… … .”
Russell, who had unconsciously groaned and covered his eyes, opened his eyes wide as if in surprise.
“This… … !!”
The pile of gold bars piled up like a small hill and blocking the view is only a part of it.
Beyond that, you can see a mountain of several gold bars piled up.
Not only that, but all kinds of jewels were rolling around on the floor throughout the interior.
No, it’s not just jewelry.
‘Are those paintings and sculptures over there…? … .’
Even at a rough estimate, it was close to several years’ worth of Endymion’s budget.
Opella’s voice flowed into Russell’s astonished ears.
“Hol ho ho. “These are things this old dragon has been collecting all his life, ever since he was young.”
A voice full of pride.
“Like a greedy dragon, these are things he has cherished for a long time… … .”
But that was only for a moment, and she soon told him as if she had no regrets.
“Please, little master, will you accept it?”
“I wonder if I can receive all these things…” … .”
When Russell trailed off, she shrugged her shoulders.
“Isn’t it impossible to embrace all these things when they are being returned to the earth? Hall hall hall. Please consider it as the old dragon’s last gift and accept it… … .”
Before speaking, she wrinkled her nose.
“this. Hall hall hall. “It seems like all the time I have been given is over.”
Wow-.
At the same time, a strong storm of magical power swirls around, and Opella’s old clothes turn into sand from the tips of their feet and begin to scatter.
“If possible, I wanted to serve you until the end, but that wasn’t possible… … I hope that the child who inherits my powers can take good care of his little master. I will please look at this old dragon. Hol, hole, hole.”
By the time she finished speaking, her entire lower body had turned into sand.
“Oh, now that I think about it, it’s late to tell you. Hol, hole, hole.”
She slowly opened her mouth, as if remembering the last thing she wanted to say.
“Little master, to the north… … .”
“… … !?”
[mission]
Frozen land in the north.
Far north, in the frozen earth, look for the largest mirror of two full moons.
[compensation]
???
By the time Opella had finished speaking, her divine form had already turned into sand and had long since disappeared.
However, only the sand that remained where she disappeared was flowing somewhere along the floor.
Slurp-.
As if he were turning to someone who would inherit his power.
Slurp-.
.
.
“Et tsk tsk tsk! sand!”
