-A dragon?
-A dragon? What is this?
A rumbling sound comes to my ears.
Not only the sound but also the gaze poured in.
Everyone looked in this direction at the words that Myeongsong blurted out in surprise.
Even though I wasn’t just looking at it, I felt a mixture of emotions.
There was anger and there was fear.
In addition, I feel resentment, confusion, etc. What’s important here is.
‘First of all, it’s not a positive reaction.’
Whatever it is, those emotions are all negative.
I looked at my tingling palm. The skin felt almost melted.
After looking at that, I looked at Myeongsong’s hand.
‘That’s it.’
The reason my hand became like this. It was in Myeongsong’s hand.
The iron gloves he wore.
When I got there, it looked like this.
‘…’
I looked at it quietly and then narrowed my eyes.
I have a feeling it might be that.
‘The reason I came here.’
The reason I came all the way to the Volcano Sect’s blacksmith shop. I realized it when I saw those gloves.
Knock knock.
I shook my hands.
The ripe skin was torn off and burned.
The wound doesn’t look shallow, but it’s not that wide either, so if left alone, it will quickly heal… .
‘…hmm…?’
I thought it was like that, but what I felt was quite different.
‘Playback is slow.’
Compared to the original playback speed, it feels like it has slowed down significantly.
To be exact, it has doubled in speed.
He tried hard to hide his hands behind his back, but his gaze remained fixed.
at that time.
“… Are you a dragon?”
Myungsong, who was looking at that day, asked.
What should I answer?
It was a question, but it was closer to a certainty.
If so, why are you so sure?
‘That too must be that.’
Gloves with a pine needle.
and.
‘The sword that Gubong or Seolyeong had.’
A sword carried by the great disciples.
I still can’t forget the image of him beating Gubong.
When I think back to that time, I don’t think it was dangerous, of course.
‘There was something strange about the sword the guy was holding.’
This is what I felt during the battle.
I felt that the sword the guy was swinging was somehow threatening.
Rather, it was easier to deal with him when night came and I put down my sword.
I was wondering about this part and did some research on it.
Because it was a strange feeling enough to warrant investigation.
After doing some quick research like that, I was able to get some information.
The first one is.
‘Only the great disciple has a different sword.’
Although I only met two disciples, they both carried the same sword.
This part was something I found out through meeting the second great disciple in the night sky, or through separately receiving guidance from the third great disciple.
Gubong and Seolyeong held the same sword, and I felt a similar sensation when I looked at Seolyeong’s sword.
So I asked Gubong separately about the sword.
When I asked where he got that sword, he said the blacksmith had made it for him.
In this case, the source of the sword is the blacksmith shop and the place where it is made is the blacksmith shop.
As soon as I found out, I wanted to know about this sword.
‘What could it be?’
What is it that gives me such an ominous feeling?
also.
‘Is it a problem with the sword itself, or is the material strange?’
If it’s ominous, what part is ominous?
That’s what I was trying to figure out.
‘Now that I look at it, it’s clear.’
It’s not the sword, it’s the material itself.

That was no ordinary iron.
He looked at Myeongsong, hiding his still painful arm.
He was looking at me warily.
What did you ask? Oh, you asked if it was a dragon.
I looked at him quietly and asked.
“Is it a problem if I am a dragon?”
“….”
Myeongsong did not answer.
Rather, I feel like they are becoming more alert as they listen to me.
Silence, by its very nature, helps us feel the emotions contained within it more clearly.
Just as Myeongsong reacts in that way, the reactions of those around him are also the same.
I felt the atmosphere gradually becoming more and more tense.
hmm.
I was worried. What should I do with this?
To be honest, I’d like to at least try to make amends.
‘The eyes are already convinced.’
It’s too late to back out.
Besides, the fact that I was so sure of this meant that the iron was related to the dragon.
“Child. Myungsong, what are you talking about? How can a noble person…?”
Seol-yeong comes in with a troubled look on her face.
Although it seems like he is trying hard to calm the situation.
“Yes, well. That’s what they call it.”
“…!”
He said this, breaking Seol-yeong’s intention.
“…her….”
Myungsong vomits out his flagship at my answer.
And then.
Clank-! He picked up a hammer that was nearby and aimed it at me.
“… A dragon? A real dragon?”
“Oh, that’s not good. Calm down for now.”
“Where the hell do you think this is…!!”
As soon as it is revealed that he is a dragon, Myeongsong rushes in.
He swung the hammer with his hand raised high, as if he had no intention of listening to what I was saying.
bang-!
I dodged slightly and the hammer struck the floor.
You can see the floor breaking apart because the force is so strong.
“How did you escape…! Are you here to harass us again?”
“… No, that’s not it.”
“Die!!”
“Use it.”
As if he couldn’t hear what was being said, Myeongsong continued to attack with fire in his eyes.
Even when he swung his hammer, he was breaking everything, so it seemed like the blacksmith shop would be in big trouble if left alone.
I think it would be right to first dry it up and see.
With that thought in mind, he reached out his hand.
“Eeeeeee—!!”
He grabbed Myeongsong by the collar as he ran towards him excitedly.
I just gave him that much force and he fell to the floor.
bang-!!
“Ugh…!”
Myungsong fell to the ground, but as if his excitement had not yet subsided, he tried to attack by swinging his arms.
So I just hit him in the chin.
Bam-!
“Ugh…!”
Myeongsong, who was hit in the chin, immediately loses consciousness.
He only became quiet after being knocked unconscious.
“after….”
I sat up, leaving the fallen pine tree behind.
But.
“…”
“… It’s a dragon… .”
“A dragon again…? Why…? I barely escaped…”
It seemed like everyone around them was scared, as if it wasn’t over yet.
It felt even worse because I had subdued Myeongsong.
“No… that’s not it… .”
I’m trying hard to make an excuse.
“Eek—!!”
“I’m going to get eaten…!”
Rather, it seemed to have the opposite effect.
What should I do with this? I was feeling embarrassed because I couldn’t think of a solution.
“Your Majesty… Please go out for now.”
Seolyoung grabs my arm urgently.
Then he put the basket he was holding down on the floor and shouted.
“Oh, I’ll get the needle later. Sorry!”
After shouting like that, he drags me out.
I was dragged outside helplessly.
*************************
I was dragged by Seol-yeong’s hand and hung up.
Even though it was a short time since the hurried pace was evident, it felt like we had come quite far.
Bam-!
The arm that was holding it loosened. It wasn’t Seol-yeong who let go, it was Cheon-ma who was following him who caught it and cut it off.
“Let go. Don’t look at me anymore.”
Cheonma said while looking at Seolyoung.
Certainly, judging by the atmosphere, I didn’t feel any more gazes.
Meanwhile, Cheonma was looking at Seolyoung with strangely trembling eyes.
Ignoring the question, he asked Seol-yeong.
“…what?”
What on earth is the situation? Let’s ask about it.
“Noble person.”
Seol-yeong spoke to me with a somewhat serious expression.
“Are you really a dragon?”
“That’s what they said?”
Wouldn’t it be right if everyone called me that? As I thought that and answered, Seol-young’s eyes widened.
Looking into those eyes, I asked Seol-young more questions.
“Why? Is it such a big deal that I’m tolerant?”
I wondered what the problem was that made him do that.
They say that Man-gye is a place where all races gather. Isn’t that strange?
‘Of course, I heard that dragons could not come to the world and that they were all extinct.’
Could that be the problem? Still, it didn’t seem to fit the reason why those little old men should be so afraid of me.
“… If your Majesty is a dragon… then it is a problem.”
“What is the reason?”
“Do you really not know why?”
“I don’t know, so I’ll ask.”
If you knew, would you still be doing this?
When I frown in frustration and say this, Seol-yeong opens her mouth hesitantly.
“I don’t know the details, but I heard that dragons are a thing of the past and can no longer set foot in the world.”
This is the same thing I heard last time.
“But is that why those old people hate dragons?”
“No. That part needs to be delved into a bit more…”
It’s deeper than the current reason.
“Then why on earth are you doing that?”
“… that.”
Seol-young is moving her lips like before. She looks like she is reluctant to speak.
I had to hear it somehow.
So I was just waiting quietly for her to speak.
“… I heard that the Myungsong race was their slaves before the dragons disappeared in the past.”
Seol-yeong said that. As soon as I heard that, I had to scratch my frowning eyebrows.
“…slave?”
A slave? The slave I know?
“Yes. A slave.”
“… Um… That’s not a roundabout way of saying it. It’s really direct… ..”
“He said that he was a slave who was treated like a servant.”
“this.”
They were holding other races as slaves. It was only after hearing that that I could vaguely understand their reaction.
-How did you escape…? Are you here to harass us again!
This is what Myeongsong said.
Why did I feel like doing that as soon as I heard the word dragon?
‘If Seol-yeong’s words are true…’
Was it because he had suffered a lot? How much did he have to suffer to end up like that?
Those eyes are really…
‘I was at the level of seeing the mines.’
If not, then it’s just seeing certain bad relationships from past lives.
I thought it would be right to express it that way.
“Hmm.”
I thought, rubbing my chin. Then what should I do?
Even in the midst of all this, Seol-yeong continued to talk to me.
“Your Majesty… I don’t know how the old man was able to bring you here.”
It was a rather cautious voice.
“I think there must be a reason why you were brought here by the long-time leader.”
After hearing that, I glanced at Seol-yeong.
“One, from Myeongsong’s perspective… I hope you don’t look at it too negatively…”
“Why do you look at it in a bad way?”
If that’s the case, Myeongsong’s position is completely understandable.
“ah.”
Seol-young’s face brightens when she hears my answer. She probably expected me to feel uncomfortable and get angry.
“Thank you for understanding… I will try to calm him down somehow. I will make sure that he doesn’t get noticed by your majesty…”
Seol-yeong continued speaking with a relieved expression, but I had to cut her off after hearing her last words.
“That won’t do.”
“yes?”
Seol-young is embarrassed.
What can’t be done? She looks at me questioningly.
“I can’t go unnoticed. I have business to attend to.”
“What is that…? Are you saying you’re going to meet Myeongsong again?”
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be Myeongsong… .”
Looking at the situation just now, it seemed like that guy was the one in charge.
“For now?”
“but….”
Seol-yeong didn’t continue talking, but I could already figure out what she was saying from her reaction.
As long as I am tolerant, it will be difficult to meet them.
That’s the reaction.
“are you okay.”
I didn’t really care.
From the beginning.
“I’m not good at being kind anyway.”
If you’re scared, just deal with it.
Unfortunately,
‘This side is not in a very relaxed position either.’
There is no room to consider the other person’s position.
Are you scared and afraid of me? That’s good.
Let’s think historically too.
Because there is nothing that is easier to control than fear.
