Episode 233
long time.
It’s been a really long time since I’ve spoken and I just stopped.
I almost said that to my little one that I had no intention of living long.
To be honest, I’m still thinking about how to extend the life of the Master, but it’s like walking through a fog, with only a vague idea and nothing clear.
There is a possibility of failure, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
It definitely exists.
Because it’s going back in time.
If this fails, I really don’t think I’ll live long.
I can’t stand seeing my master die twice.
If I fail, both the Master and I will die.
-I… …what’s next?
He reached out and patted our cell’s head.
“I just hope you grow up well.”
When I rubbed it hard like before, Cell tilted her head.
It’s that kind of expression that makes it seem like that’s not what he was trying to say.
This kid is quick-witted.
But I guess you didn’t notice that.
Who will Blanc pledge his loyalty to?
Is it me or is it Sel?
If he swears allegiance to me, I will kill him on the spot.
I said I would ask Cell for his opinion if possible, but this is a different case.
Pledge your loyalty to me is nothing more than a waste of time.
Since I’m going to live for thousands of years anyway, I can’t afford to throw away a few hundred years… … If Jack Valantier dies anyway, I’m free… … If I don’t join him anyway, I’ll die anyway, so I can easily throw away a few hundred years… … That’s probably how I feel.
If that mentality continues and you end up swearing allegiance to me,
I guarantee you, I will kill that bastard no matter what.
It’s not a question of necessity for utility value, it’s just trash.
There have been plenty of warnings, and there are still plenty of dragons left.
But if Blanc swears loyalty to Cell, not me.
I ended up laughing faintly.
Then you live.

The Green Dragon, Didier Louis Blanc, slowly closed his eyes.
Cheap air.
And dark space.

Numerous magical communication ports located everywhere.
and.
Even the noises coming from the eastern outskirts of the Academy, 6km south of the technical workshop where Blanc is located.
I think that’s where the ‘communication center’ that the ‘monster’ was said to have built.
There, the sound of countless people coming and going, and even the small noise of dust floating in the air.
Everything was heard by Blanc’s ears.
Blanc closed his eyes and this time closed his ears.
Because it was too noisy.
Blanc let out a light breath, pushing back her long green hair with both hands.
Oh, my goodness.
‘If I think about it, everything that’s happened so far was actually just trivial things.’
To be exact, it was so unrealistic that it felt like a big deal.
‘I really forgot about the Forest of Demons. I was too complacent.’
Blanc wasn’t stupid.
The reason why the Forest of Demons was able to maintain a system ruled by five dragons, or the ‘Five Kings System’, for hundreds of years was because there were two Lords who were transcendent and could easily eat a Master.
If just one lord goes, all the masters of the alien races will be eliminated, and if both lords go, all the alien races in the Forest of Demons will have to bow their heads.
That was the power of the two loads.
But both lords are dead.
‘I am the only one who knows that fact. The island of Arendal where the two lords reside is considered a kind of holy place, so no dragon can visit it without permission. It will be at least several years before the other dragons learn of this fact. The monster clearly said four to five years. But that is the maximum. What will be left after that? It is obvious. War, in the end, there is only war.’
If there were no lords, there would be no reason for the alien races to stay.
The dragon, which had been persecuted for hundreds of years, was the enemy of all races, so Blanc could not easily assume that his own life would be spared.
There was no point in worrying about this situation any further.
In fact, Blanc had already made up his mind.
It just takes one.
‘Jack Valanti, either go under him or go under Cell, who will surely become Lord. It’s a choice between the two.’
Blanc also noticed.
A characteristic of the dragon race, and it is an adult dragon, not a hatchling.
He is a 10th circle mana user with powers between gold and red by human standards, and he does not need any modifiers when using magic.
Just shout the ignition key and it will activate.
It would be nonsense to say that the value of a mana user with a fraudulent trait called Unryeong is low.
Blanc knew his own worth.
From what Jack has shown so far, it seems that Jack needs him and Cell needs him too.

Even if you don’t need it, if you ask me to write it down, I will definitely write it for you. Just like I do now.
That’s why I’m worried.
Jack Valantier, he’s human.

No matter how much you fly or crawl, you only live for hundreds of years.
Because we are human.
But dragons are thousands of years old.
‘Besides, Jack Valanti has many people under his command right now. If you go under him, you’ll just become one of them. You’ll go through all the hardships, just like you are doing now.’
Blanc arched his back and stretched his body.
but.
‘That could actually be an advantage. Jack, I’ll be bonded with the monster’s men, and when they die, I’ll be special to Jack Valantyre. A special man. What’s left after that is freedom. A few hundred out of a thousand years. A price that’s more than enough to avoid danger.’
Conversely, what if we go underneath the cell?
That’s not bad either.
But it’s not good either.
There is currently not a single person in charge of the cell.
Only, Cell follows Jack.
If you pledge allegiance to Cell, you must help Cell’s work and Jack’s work.
This is not a sentence that should be used simply to describe suffering.
I have to write a sentence like this, “What are you struggling so hard for?”
Just decisively, too young.
Even if you want to be the mastermind behind the scenes, is it possible when there’s a monster called Jack holding you back?
Blanc knew that if he did the proxy cleaning while observing the situation, his body would be split into ten pieces immediately.
But ironically, because Jack had such power, those around him were the safest in the world.
Wow, my goodness.
‘The safest place in the world. Who would have thought a dragon would have such worries? What kind of ridiculous situation is this?’
Blanc shook his head and opened his eyes.
The decision is made.
After that, Blanc slowly got up from his seat and left the workshop.
Interestingly enough, the sun was already up in the sky.
I was just thinking about it for a moment, but it seems like over 9 hours have passed.
Blanc took a step forward.
He headed to the villa where Jack Valantier and Sel were.

Cell thought.
‘I am definitely different.’
Cell, who wasn’t in Ascension, doesn’t know what happened at the Academy.
I didn’t even take the test.
Jack said that thinking of you as an ordinary child was not consideration for you, but neglect. You should meet more people. So Cell followed Elizabeth and spent the last few weeks traveling around the estate.
I’ve seen a lot.

I saw the procession of the 99, I saw Elizabeth working, I had magical duels, and I had duels with many people.
So now I’m confused.
Pat pat-
The current situation where he is patting Charlotte’s back while she is crying in his arms.
Honestly, I never even thought about it.
Charlotte, with her bright personality, recovered quickly.
It was fast.
This time it seemed like it would be a little late.
-Everything will be okay.
It’s none other than Jack.
Charlotte looked really sad after being punished by Jack for the first time.
-The boss does all that because he thinks of you. So don’t cry.
This is something that people don’t know much about.
Charlotte is 11 years old and Sel is 10 years old.
Strictly speaking, it means that Sel is the younger sister and Charlotte is the older sister.
Charlotte, who had been crying for a long time, suddenly stopped crying.
“me.”
-Yeah. Tell me.
“I will never lose to you.”
Cell laughed, not knowing why the topic had suddenly changed.
Charlotte said, wiping away the tears from her eyes.
“It’s sad that I got punished by the boss, but it was my fault. That’s why I can shake it off quickly. Because it was my fault. That’s why.”
Charlotte’s eyes looked straight into Sel’s.
“I won’t lose to you. And.”
Cell thought.
Probably, Charlotte will never be able to beat her.
Charlotte had been through a lot as a child, but nothing like she had.
Unless, in a state of phantasm, you completely break your own physical limitations and learn how to destroy magic itself like Jack does.
Cell will always be above Charlotte.
Cell thought.
Because I’ve been through so much, and because I’ve suffered so much.
‘I can’t be like anyone else.’
Sel’s eyes, which had been brushing Charlotte’s blonde hair back, became hazy.
‘I can’t remain a bright child like you.’
It was a self-reflection.

But what was Charlotte trying to say?
“Let’s sleep together today.”
And then, little by little, I felt empty without you.
Sel hugged Charlotte tightly as she spoke.
Please, I hope this child remains a bright child.
* * *
As usual, breakfast was finished.
Charlotte seemed more cheerful than yesterday, as if she had some kind of conversation with Cell the night before, and Thanos had a blank expression on his face since the morning, as if he still hadn’t gotten the hang of it.
Ironically, it was Sel, who was usually quiet, who seemed the most cheerful.
It was when I was sitting in the restaurant like that.
“Confucius?”
Chef Guinness came into the restaurant and announced that Blanc was outside.
Look at this.
It’s only 8 o’clock now.
Why are you here so early?
“What should I do? Should I ask them to come into the restaurant?”
It may be a bit surprising, but our Guinness is quite a talented person.
Should I tell you to come into the restaurant? Should I let you in and bring you a new meal? Should I prepare tea?
That would be an implied sentence.
Of course I said this.
“Tell them to wait outside.”
I know it took a lot of work to build that communications port, but it could be dead soon.
Then why are you feeding it?
What a waste of materials.
* * *
Blanc, who had been waiting in the yard, slowly opened his eyes.
I was hesitant when I was thinking about it in the workshop, but when I came here,
To be exact, I took each step, organized my thoughts, and made a decision.
I hope you won’t regret this choice.
Jack, Sel, and the other two kids appeared in front of me.
Blanc, who was carrying a lot of weight, speaks to Jack.
“First, please take away this black shackle or whatever it is.”
“why?”
I never thought I’d say something like that in my life, but I just did it.
“I would like to begin with a pious heart.”

Jack, who was smiling, waves his hand lightly.
Accordingly, the mana in the air danced, and black smoke began to slowly rise into the air near Blanc’s heart.
At that moment Blanc felt it.
That the bonds that had been binding my heart, or rather my soul, had disappeared.
That was enough.
Blanc neatly organized the clothes he was wearing.
He gently brushed his disheveled hair upwards and smoothed out the wrinkles in his shirt and coat.
I dusted it off.
Then slowly his body changed.
