Episode 234
Woohoo-!
Before, Blanc had talked back to Jack and had been beaten up by Jack like dust on a rainy day, and then Blanc had tried to make up for it.
And now, Blanc has attempted to tolerance again.
He grows a little taller, his eyes change, and horns grow on his head.
Such a process took place in Blanc’s body, and he slowly looked around.
A momentum that would make most people laugh.
Blanc was a dragon, and although he was not even 400 years old, he was also quite powerful.
Strictly speaking, the rank is between gold and red, so you could call it a gold-red master.
In any case, it would be a great help to have them as combat troops.
Even magic can be used freely.
Among the talents Jack seeks out, few have this ability.
He slowly knelt down.
Jack and Sel just stared blankly at Blanc.
Jack thought.
He will swear allegiance to me.
I thought about the cell too.
This dragon will swear allegiance to Jack.
Slowly, Blanc’s gaze moved.
To Jack, not Cell.
“Lord said that dragons were supposed to keep the balance of the world and watch over the world. I dismissed it as nonsense. I didn’t even understand why they had to do that, so I didn’t even care. That thought hasn’t changed. But.”
“but?”
“That doesn’t mean I wanted a boring life where I’d just be stuck in a workshop or something and just make things.”
For the past few days, Jack had ordered Blanc to spend every spare moment, except for eating, sleeping, and pooping, working on building a communications device.
So, Blanc has been cooped up in the workshop for the past few days, and that’s what I’m talking about now.
Slowly, Jack’s expression changed.
I have no idea what this guy is trying to say… … That’s the expression on his face.
“I like to travel, I like to travel around the world. I used to think that if I could live like that, I would be happy to live for tens of thousands of years, not just thousands. In fact, that thought hasn’t changed even now. That’s why.”
“so?”
Blanc’s gaze shifts.
Towards the cell, not Jack.
“I would like to invite you.”
Jack and Cell look at each other at the same time.
wow.
In fact, no matter what, when you look at the results, the most ideal solution is to go under Jack in some way.

Even Jack favors those who are capable.
but.
However, that does not mean that everyone accepted it.
A fact that no one ever points out is that Jack values character more than anyone else.
From a psychological perspective, people tend to be attracted to people of the opposite s*x whose personality is the opposite of their own.
It was similar in Jack’s case.
Jack was a murderer, an outlaw, and a monster.
He lived a life more extreme than anyone else, and he had already committed massacres in his past life that no one else in this world could do.
Jack thought that no matter how much he acted or how hard he tried, he would never be able to become what most people would call a ‘good person’.
No, I was sure.
Saying that he was a good person out of habit was a kind of self-denial, and in reality, Jack was not a good person.
Because they have committed countless massacres and are still thinking of committing more.
Jack, no matter how capable someone is, will never accept a crazy person as his subordinate.
Because one crazy guy is enough.
As expected, Jack had high regard for Blanc’s abilities.
Combat ability, regardless of personality or thoughts? That’s ridiculous.
Magical abilities? It’s pointless to say more.
And now, Blanc had put a chain around his neck that could bind him even though the black shackles were gone.
In other words, we escaped from the crossroads of death.
“Want to play cell? That sounds fun.”
After saying those words, Jack took a step back.
It’s like asking the cell to choose.
It was a nuance that said I respect your opinion, and Cell noticed it.
So Cell asked.
-why?
“… … ?”
-Why do you want to invite me?
Cell’s expression was filled with an unconcealed puzzlement.
I was really curious.
“It’s simple. I’m a dragon.”
Cell’s expression remained the same.
He still had an expression of disbelief, but Blanc understood that reaction.

Because to anyone, it was clear that going under Jack was the most ideal way.
“Going under that monster instead of you, it’s a somewhat difficult decision, but it’s a 100% safe decision. If you go under that guy, you’ll definitely live a long life. But.”
-but?

“As I said before, I am a dragon. I am the child of the elder dragons Maruan and Lorenzo in the Forest of Demons, but I have long since cut ties with the two elder dragons. The same goes for other dragons. I lived as an outsider, an outsider, and planned to live my whole life, but I think I was a little mistaken.”
-Is that a wrong idea?
“Humans, elves, orcs, harpies, now extinct faeries and ogres. All of those races had a center. They were called lords, or kings. I know my own vessel. I can’t be a lord. I can’t be a king. I need a ‘lord’ to hold the center, to ultimately command all the dragons. It was a no-brainer. I know that man, Jack Valantier, is a monster. I know he’s a true monster, beyond human. But I’m a dragon. The lord of dragons has to be a dragon. That’s the center, that’s what a lord is to me.”
It’s not like I’m hitting a brick wall with an ambassador.
Jack, who was behind, smiled lightly as if he was satisfied.
I was also quite satisfied with the cell.
But it wasn’t enough.
It was definitely necessary.
It makes no sense for Cell, who was meant to succeed Jack, to have no subordinates.
Cell took a slow step forward.
The gaze looked down at Blanc. One outstretched hand stroked Blanc’s horn. Not the gesture of a child, but the bloodline of the only Lord in this world.
The cells that would become monsters in the future were giving off that kind of vibe little by little.
“… … .”
As evidence, Blanc’s body was stiff.
This is the momentum of the road.
A reaction that a species called a dragon would show when meeting a higher being.
That is, it is a reaction of submission.
-Do you know that?
What are you trying to say?
-When an intelligent being experiences a crisis of death.
Kwak-
-It’s getting weird.
Blanc felt a strange, inexplicable feeling for a moment as Cell, who was tightly clutching his horn,
Should I say it’s a feeling of discomfort?
One day, the two lords who gave their names to the hatchlings.
The name was Lorenzo Blanc, but later he dropped all the prefixes.
And he created a new name, Didier Luis, and from then on, Blanc’s full name became Didier Luis Blanc.
I thought my ties with Lord and the other dragons were cut off for life, but that wasn’t the case.
The feeling of discomfort I feel now is definitely the same as the feeling I felt when I first saw those two as a child.
The dragon is, well, a dragon.
A dragon is a dragon no matter what it wears.
To Blanc, Cell slowly leaned his head out and whispered in his ear.
-From now on, it’s important.
In Cell’s hands, strength slowly began to drain away.
– In the current situation, it’s hard to believe, let alone trust. So… …you know what to do, right?

At Cell’s meaningful words, Blanc suddenly came to his senses.
Cell slowly takes a step back.
And looking at that cell, Blanc’s mouth slowly opens.
“[I… I, Didier Louis Blanc, hereby declare in holy and solemn Manae!]”
Woohoo-!!
Jack, with his arms linked behind him, and Sel with a curious expression.
And Thanos and Charlotte were just watching from behind.
Even Chef Guinness, who was peeking his head out the window further behind him,
Everyone’s eyes were wide open.
In the sky.
Because a strange current was forming.
That’s mana that is clearly visible even to Guinness, who is not a mana user.
It was almost like Mana singing a hymn to the heavens.
“[Until this body rots and decays, my breath ceases, and my soul rots and decays! I, Didier Louis Blanc, declare to the Holy Mana that I will be loyal to and serve only ‘Cell’, the lord and monarch of all dragons!!]”
Words.
If we borrow the dictionary definition, it simply means the power of words.
Dragons could use mana as a starting point and could manifest all kinds of magic.
That’s because they are beings who receive Mana’s love.
It was a great benefit and privilege beyond benefit compared to other races, it was more than that.
If such people were to make a declaration, staking their mana, which could be called their ‘everything’, this kind of spectacle would unfold.
The clouds in the sky created a strange air current centered around Cell and Blanc.
The ground around them trembled, and all mana users within a few dozen kilometers held their breath.
Because the oath that the dragon made to Mana, risking its life, was that sacred.
After a while, the air current disappeared.
Blanc, still kneeling, and Sel standing in front of him.
Strangely enough, the distance between Cell and Blanc was surprisingly close.
Clearly, Cell had taken a step back from Blanc, so why was he so close?
I wonder what we were talking about when the air current enveloped us earlier.
Even if others didn’t know, Jack definitely heard.
When the air current surrounds the two.
Cell whispered this in Blanc’s ear.
– An oath of obedience through words is good. Trust is still difficult, but I think it can give you some degree of faith.
Cell, who had been smiling brightly, paused for a moment and ended her speech like this.
-Don’t forget, the future is important. And make a list and bring it to me today. Got it?
That’s how Cell got his first subordinate.

Jack, who had been watching from behind, sneaks in.
“You haven’t eaten?”
Blanc and Sel look at Jack at the same time.
“We ate, but you didn’t. We have a new family member, so we can eat one more meal. Let’s eat together.”
Blanc nodded absentmindedly.
