Episode 54
What do you have to say?
[I thought about it carefully.]
“What?”
[Dragon’s blood and bones.]
I glanced at the teacher and saw that the teacher was slightly frowning with that pretty face.
[No matter how much I think about it, only one thing comes to mind. The extension of the research on immortality, heterogamy. Is that right?]
“Yes, that’s right.”
Humans want to live long.
Of course, simply living a long life is meaningless.
Living a long, youthful life.
In a past study on immortality, one scholar expressed an interesting opinion.
Since living forever is unrealistic and impossible anyway, why not make humans live for a thousand years like dragons?
It may seem obvious, but the differences in species cannot be ignored.
Especially in the case of long-lived species, such as vampires or dragons, the blood, organs, and even bones in their bodies are different from those who die young.
The speed of aging, as well as the quantity and quality of cells, and even the sensitivity to receive mana.
It’s not just different, it’s on a whole other level.
The research that was conducted in this way is heterologous combination.
In conclusion, heterologous hybridization was half successful.
Although the original purpose of the research was to achieve immortality, it was a great failure, but it did give me strength.
Half success when humans use the power of orcs, and half success when humans use the power of elves.
A truly unfunny mongrel.
The problem is that in exchange for gaining that power, you are sentenced to a limited lifespan of between five years and ten years.
The experiment, which was also called the Devil’s Experiment in the past, was of course conducted in secret and was also conducted very secretly.
The past master, who found out too late that such experiments were being conducted, burned all materials related to the research and killed all the results that had been created from different species.
However, half of the experiment that was conducted 400 years ago is now being conducted in the Tulcan Empire.
But as I said before, Half-Blood is only a half-successful theory.
The advantage of gaining strength and the disadvantage of having a shortened lifespan.
The downside of many cells becoming overly active and the activated cells eating away at other cells in the body was solved by the Tulcan Empire in just two years.
The lifespan of Half-Bloods was increased from 5 to 10 years to a whopping 20 to 30 years.
It is a groundbreaking experiment and one that requires trial and error.
But you completed that experiment in just two years and even improved on its shortcomings?
This doesn’t make sense.
But it was possible to make it make sense.
There is only one possibility.
If past data remains.
[I thought I killed them all back then, but I guess I wasn’t.]
I shook my head slightly.
The Master clearly killed all those who attempted to combine species in the past.

Scholars, wizards, swordsmen, etc.
And they even burned all the materials.
But there’s one thing missing.
“Master, you should have killed the Dragon Lord.”
It is not difficult for the Master to grasp the true meaning of my words.
Naturally, the teacher’s eyes went up and his brows furrowed.
My words.
That one sentence explains everything.
therefore.
[You handed over your own people as test subjects to break the oath? No, to be exact, you condoned it?]
“Yes, Master.”
[The two lords are anxious to interfere in the human world.]
I didn’t laugh.
There is something even more shocking than this.
“Do you know what kind of dragon that test subject was?”
[I don’t know.]
“I think Master, you probably don’t need me to explain it to you. In the future, all the ‘Half-Bloods’ were able to use ‘Hon-gi’ without exception.”
The Master’s clenched fist loosened.
It’s not that I was embarrassed or anything.
The true meaning of my words, the nuance contained in my words.
Because that alone made me realize the truth.
[… … The dragon that became the test subject is the child of the two lords?]
“yes.”
Among the dragons, there are exactly two who can use the soul technique.
The current Dragon Lords, Volimort and Bahamut.
Those two bloodlines are naturally born with the talent to use the power of marriage.
A combination of talent and talent.
Naturally, there is a huge difference between a dragon achieving 10 circles and a human achieving 10 circles.

The difference between races.
Dragons are beings loved by Mana, and as they breathe and time passes, ten circles are naturally engraved on their hearts.
But humans are different.
It requires intense effort and the pain of tremendous patience.
That is, those who overcame such a process and stepped into the realm of superhumans were able to form a hybrid union with the children of two dragon lords who could use the spirit of marriage.
The result of overlapping talents.
They can easily break through the wall of mana and use their soul energy.
That’s the power they got.
Half-marriage, half-master.
There was a reason I branded them as unfunny mongrel.
I killed two dragon lords in my past life.
Advertisements
The reason is simple.
Because it was like X.
Did he just kill them? No kidding, he tore their limbs apart.
And all the remaining dragons were annihilated.
I have a feeling that my fate will not change in this life.
[As a teacher, I ask.]
“Please speak, Master.”
[What were you going to do?]
“What?”
The master turns towards me.
[I am a person from the past. I try not to get involved in what is happening in this world right now. But I can’t help but be curious. If you know the future, you must have thought about something. I am curious about that.]
Actually, I had something in mind.
Anyway, the experiment will be completed in two years.
I planned to grow my body to at least 5 or 6 circles within a year, and then fly to the Tulcan Empire immediately during the upcoming vacation.
The goal, of course, is to completely blow up the laboratory and kill everyone involved.
I told that thought to my teacher.
[Is there really a need to do it then?]
“yes?”
For some reason, I feel cheap.
no way.
“No?”
[You are definitely my disciple.]
“… … .”
[You know my thoughts very well.]
“You said you weren’t going to get involved?”
[Since this is something I haven’t been able to tie up, wouldn’t it be right for me to get involved this time?]
Oh, it’s different. It’s a different law. Really.
I ended up scratching my head.
It seems like the Master is thinking of flying to the Tulcan Empire right now.
Well, if you think about it, blowing up the lab would be a real f*cking waste for those Tulcan bastards.
To be precise, it’s a proper shit-talking to the hardliners who want to unify the continent.
The reason is simple.
Because those who are sponsoring and leading the Half-Blood research are hardliners.
Even though it is a grudge from the past and no one but me remembers it now… … .
No, wait, thinking about this again makes me mad again?
“Then, Master, please open the subspace just once.”
[Subspace?]
“I need a sword. Something pretty good.”
The teacher smiles strangely.
Then, like before, lightly draw the air with your right index finger.
Mana trembles, and then the air splits apart.
In that dark space, a long sword about 1.5 meters long protruded as if some creature was vomiting something.
A sword I am very familiar with.
Advertisements
A famous sword that was said to have been polished by mermaids in the distant past and personally forged by the dwarf king.
Silarion.
It would probably be worth around 20 million gold.
This is the sword I used continuously before I obtained the divine sword in my previous life.
As I was grabbing the longsword with my right hand, another object popped out from the subspace.
I instinctively reached out and grabbed it, and looked at my teacher with strange eyes.
[Shouldn’t you at least hide your face?]
I just lowered my gaze and looked at the mask in my hand.
A white mask with only the eyes wide open.
Also, a strange flow of mana can be felt inside this mask.
Upon closer inspection, it is a magic that sticks to the face and a magic that dissolves it.
I just couldn’t help but ask.
“What is this mask?”
[I don’t remember, but I think I bought it at a market or something before.]
The teacher is not good at lying.
Even if you lie, you can’t fool my eyes.
The teacher’s facial expression changes.
Because I don’t miss even that little change.
I looked at the mask in my left hand with strange eyes.
In the past, the Master gave me all the items in the subspace.
The clothes, potions, and even food inside.
Because time does not flow within subspace, eating food from 400 years ago was quite a new experience.
That is, I know all the things in the Master’s subspace.
But this is my first time seeing this mask.
I’ve never even heard of that story.
It’s a mask from 400 years ago that I don’t know about.
“You’re more sinister than I thought.”
[huh?]
“You weren’t wearing this and going to the men’s bathhouse or something to sneak a peek, were you?”
In response to my lame joke, the teacher pushed my forehead with his index finger just like before.
[Just tell me the coordinates.]
First, put the mask on your face.
“It’s 37,541/126,986.”
The teacher’s eyes tremble slightly.
Because these coordinates would have been familiar to the teacher.
[Capital of the Gunnar Empire?]
“Yes, that’s right.”
400 years ago, humans were said to be at the bottom of the pyramid, but it was not the case that there were no countries of humans alone.
Gunnar Empire.
Because it was the only nation of the human race, many called it an empire rather than a kingdom.
Advertisements
By the way, the Master is also from the Gunnar Empire.
[A laboratory under a ruins site… … You must have used your head.]
The master said nothing more.
Just close your eyes and calculate the coordinates.
That time was not long.
The master opens his eyes and asks me.
[Are you ready?]
“I am always ready, Master.”
The master nodded slightly and recited the spell in a quiet voice.
[Teleport.]
Then, a halo of light enveloped my Master and I.
* * *
“A union of a human and a dragon… … The Doctor is truly an amazing person.”
“It’s an honor. For none other than Heynckes Beckermann to say such things.”
The old man laughs heartily.
An old man whose expression shows that he is sincere and not just empty words.
And a young man with an expressionless face looking at the old man.
The old man asks.
“By the way, may I ask why you suddenly did that earlier?”
“a moment ago?”
“You suddenly stopped with your glass in your hand, so I thought maybe I made a mistake.”
Beckerman just chuckles.
Earlier, I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
Should I say that it felt as if ‘something’ that shouldn’t have come into the world had appeared?
Beckerman quickly shook his head.
I must be mistaken.
This is a story that doesn’t need to be said out loud.
