Episode 620
Chapter 5
Dragon’s Canyon was quiet.
The appearance on the outside was truly, literally, ‘Dragon’s Canyon’.
There were huge stone monuments with dragon heads everywhere, and the number of them that could be seen was probably more than twenty.
There are clearly several dragons living here, but it’s so quiet, there must be only one.
That’s what the master commanded.
There are signs everywhere.
I turned my head.
I made eye contact with the green-haired man in the corner.
What should I say?
Should I say that I think I saw the guy I just saw at the Academy?
I think I saw it once in the Academy’s technical workshop when I was very young.
I don’t remember its name. I just know that it’s a green dragon.
“… … That’s my son. When I first saw him, his face looked exactly like that.”
I stared at him blankly. It seemed as if he knew my father. He said.
“Go. The Lord is waiting.”
He said nothing more, turned around, and disappeared into the forest.
I turned my head again.
It was a bit far away, but it felt so clear.
The Master’s energy.
It was truly indescribably ‘ferocious’.
It’s been about five years since I last saw my teacher.
Even then, I was young. It was before I entered the Academy, and my master had been living here on the Eastern Continent before that.
He often comes to Cheon Gong Seong to teach me and then goes back to the Eastern Continent.
Besides that, I know little about the Master.
How I lived, what kind of life I lived, I really don’t know anything.
I tried to find out, but there is almost no information about Dragon Valley. What they do here, what kind of life they lead here.
Even the informants in the Taoist temple are inaccessible, let alone the unmanned people of the Eastern Continent.
The only known fact is that dragons live self-sufficiently. The dragon species is a being that receives the love of mana, and when it becomes an adult, it basically grows to the level of a master.
They hide themselves in polymorphs and are active all over the martial arts world. There is no crazy person who would mess with a dragon, and dragons do not bother others.
Living in a world where walls are built around you.
That’s the world of dragons.
I walked silently.
I went all the way up the valley.

Then, he slowly stopped walking.
There was someone about ten meters away.
It was a man painted in black from head to toe.
It was different from the case of the Sahonje.
Because he was just a black human being.
My eyes met his as he was wearing a long black coat that covered his entire body.
He was a man of very thin build, but his eyes made his body look even bigger.
Should I call it a feeling of oppression?
It’s been a long time. There’s someone out there who goes around revealing things like this so openly.
“You did a funny prank on my face.”
I asked him what he said.
“Who are you?”
I have had many teachers, but the one I call my teacher is Dragon Lord Cell.
But as I said before, I knew almost nothing about how many subordinates the Master had or who among them were noteworthy.
This was also the Master’s will.
The Master did not want the world to know about the power of the dragons.
Originally, dragons lived on the Western Continent.
Of course, if you look at it from the very distant past before the Eastern and Western Continents were unified as one country, it is different, but it is still the place where the Western Continent originally lived.
My father had offered the title to my master, the Dragon Lord.
peacock.
It was an offer to become a duke of the empire and work by his side, but the master refused.
He declared that he would move to the Eastern Continent and live quietly, turning his back on the world.
This is a side note, but there was talk that it doesn’t make sense for the vampires of the Demon Forest to give the position of Duke to the Dragon Lord, and if they’re going to give it to him, shouldn’t they give it to the vampire lord as well? Rather than the dragons, shouldn’t the position of ‘Archangel’ be given to the vampire lord who rules over the vast land of the Demon Forest?
It was simple.
Dragons and vampires don’t get along well.
Anyway, to sum it up, my father respected my master’s will, and so my master took all the dragons and headed to the Eastern Continent.
Dragons haven’t caused any trouble in at least a dozen years.
That’s why I’m seeing that guy for the first time. You can tell that he’s a dragon at first glance, but it’s my first time seeing a dragon, and the momentum I feel is very unfamiliar.
He is clearly a transcendent being of at least the intermediate level of Shinwha Kyung, weaker than Cheonha Seongju Ryu Jin. He told me when I asked his name.
“Black Dragon Gentua, what about you?”
“Daniel Milos.”
“The Lord said a guest was coming, so you’re welcome. Come in. The Lord is waiting.”

“Before that, there’s something I want to ask you.”
The black man who introduced himself as Gentua asked.
“What is that?”

“I heard something about a black dragon, but how can a black dragon exist?”
Among the dragon species, ‘color’ is very important.
As far as I know at this point, there is only one Black Dragon, my master.
Even the Master is not a pure black like that, but a kind of mutation that shows various colors including white. A black dragon cannot exist with a single color. Gentua answered me with an expressionless expression.
“I got blood.”
“blood?”
“The Lord has given me a task. He asked a question, so may I ask one in return?”
As soon as I nodded, Gentua asked.
“Does this question make sense?”
“… … ?”
“If you came to see me, this conversation would make sense, but it doesn’t.”
“That’s right.”
“Then stop asking meaningless questions and go up. The Lord is waiting.”
I ended up laughing. As I continued walking, I passed by Gentua and said something to him.
“If you try to give meaning to everything, you’ll get tired.”
“If you don’t give it meaning, things that come later will be more tiring.”
“It’s twisted.”
“It’s better to be tangled than too loose.”
He shrugged. He’s an interesting guy.
and.
“Changing the color is like shortening its lifespan, so wouldn’t it be better to just leave it untangled?”
Gentua didn’t say anything. Looking into his piercing eyes, I laughed once more.
After turning his head like that, he continued walking.
As I headed to the top of the mountain, I really couldn’t control my expression.
There was a garden in front. A garden with pillars on both sides.
And outside, there was a magnificent view.
Much like that.
It was very similar to what I had seen in Cheon Gong Seong.
Only then did I understand why the Master had made this Hwagok Mountain his base.
As I mentioned before, the scenery here was very similar to that of Cheon Gong Seong. No, it was almost the same.
“You’ve grown up well.”
I turned my head at the voice that sounded like rolling jade beads, and honestly, it sounded a little like my mother’s voice.
There was a woman about 200 meters away.
She had long, straight hair that was a perfect blend of black and silver, reaching down to her waist, and she had two spiral horns on her forehead, and she was shining.
It was beautiful and captivating.

The moment I saw those mysterious eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh.
I told her.
“It’s been a while, Master.”
She nods.
“I have a question for you, and I would like you to answer honestly.”
This time too, I ended up laughing faintly.
“Why are you laughing?”
“On the way here, I met a black dragon named Gentua.”
“Gentua, one of the dragons I trust. He’s loyal and capable, and his level is… … roughly similar to your current level.”
“Similar to me? Are you sure?”
The teacher also chuckled.
“Your confidence is still intact.”
We walked towards the cliff with a spectacular view as if we had made a promise.
We stood side by side there and admired nature in silence for a while.
It felt like I went back to that day, that time, that moment when I decided to enter the academy.
He broke the silence and opened his mouth.
“You said you had something to ask, what was it?”
The teacher did not ask right away.
For a while there is silence between us again.
The silence was broken after nearly ten minutes.
And I was shocked by the words that broke the silence.
Should I say I can’t believe it?
That was understandable.
Master to me.
“What would you do if I were to usurp the throne of the Milos Empire?”
Because I asked like this.
I thought I misheard. But that couldn’t be true.
I’m not old enough to be deaf yet.
So I heard you correctly, but what exactly do you mean by that?
You want to usurp the throne?
Does that mean he wants to kill his father? But is that possible?
It’s impossible. At least according to the common sense that I know, killing my father is absolutely impossible.
if.
Are you targeting someone other than your father?
When I thought about this, the Master said, “Isn’t it something like using the person who will sit on the throne of the Milos Empire?”
Advertisements
“It’s still the same.”
“… … What do you mean?”
“When you think, your eyes move once to the left and twice to the right.”
“… … When was the last time you saw something like that?”
“You’re not the only one staring at me.”
I don’t like it.
I hated myself for thinking like this.
The Master holds a grudge against his father. But is his father an ordinary person? He is a monster among monsters with unstoppable power that no one can touch.
When fighting someone, my father has an absolute advantage, but even so, if there were people who wanted to make my father an enemy, what kind of approach would they take?
It was simple.
You can use someone who has a very close relationship with your father.
I don’t see the teacher simply as a teacher.
Unless they’re stupid, at least the father and mother around me would have noticed.
That I had feelings for my Master as a man.
I have been a quick learner since I was young.
I learned emotions quickly and in many ways, I opened my eyes much faster than other kids my age.
Because I was like that, I could now notice that Master, no, Sel, was ‘talking’ right now.
I closed my eyes for a moment and then slowly opened them.
The world looks different again.
I asked the cell.
“You are not behaving like a teacher.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you ask because you don’t know, you’ll be disappointed, but if you ask even though you know, you’ll be even more disappointed.”
Cell looked at me. I didn’t avoid his eyes. I opened my mouth right away.
“Master.”
“I’m listening.”
“As a disciple, I dare say that it would be better to stop at that point with your strange thoughts.”
“That’s a strange thought… …. Do you think so?”
“Yes, I think so.”
I felt it from a while ago.
Something is not right.
He walked straight ahead and stood in front of the cell.
“Master. Did you say earlier that the black dragon’s name was Gentua?”
“okay.”
“Is it true that you said you gave blood?”
Advertisements
This time, the Master, no, Cell nodded in agreement.
I couldn’t help but say this.
“Are you crazy?”
“… … .”
“What kind of dragon was Gentua originally?”
“It was red.”
“The red dragon turned into a black dragon, and this process must not have been smooth.”
The significance of changing the color of a paper called Dragon is very great.
No, it didn’t matter whether it was big or small.
It changed. The important thing was that this had already happened. That’s what I mean.
“Have you experimented with dragons?”
“… … .”
I know Cell’s past. Where was Cell when the Tulcan Empire ruled the Western Continent?
It was in a laboratory prepared by the Tulcan Empire.
There the body was pulled out and regenerated.
The Tulcan Empire used the Cell to create Half-Bloods, and every single Half-Blood was destined to die.
“Master, why are you doing this?”
Even if a cell with such a past is of the same species and is in the position of a Lord, would it conduct experiments such as sharing its blood?
It didn’t make sense to me.
I was suspicious.
It’s hard to tell if it’s reality or a dream.
I just wanted to doubt it. The Master I know would never do that.
But the answer I hear is amazing.
“I thought you would understand, even if it wasn’t for other people.”
“… … .”
“It seems like you’ve never thought about it even once.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Daniel, you need to think about it for a moment.”
therefore.
“What on earth are you talking about?”
Cell, who had been looking straight into my eyes, closed his eyes for a moment and then turned his head to the side.
Cell opens her eyes. She looks at the scenery without meeting my eyes and says.
“Which number is this world now?”
