Episode 62. Two hearts
Monestière de Strange.
Although he was of the same bloodline as me, he was unable to spread his wings properly just because he was born in a collateral lineage.
As soon as the conversation ended, I looked at his place and said a brief moment of silence.
‘He was stronger than I imagined.’
A powerful enemy with a level of swordsmanship never experienced in a previous life.
Meeting him was a great fortune for me.
Thanks to this, I learned a clue about the power to cut down a dragon, and it gave me the opportunity to grow further by dealing with a high-level swordsman.
Not only that, but the huge fireball that could be called a second sun, emitting intense heat in the sky above the Legion, was a good way to show off my new power to those gathered here.
“Sister, I will take care of that.”
Valentine, covered in scars, asked me with a tired expression.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“yes.”
Our conversation wasn’t long.
The weight of the words coming out of my mouth is not light.
She also knew this, so she left it to me to take care of it.
‘I can’t believe I can use this guy right away.’
The ruby of the artifact ‘Rising Force’, a bracelet wrapped around both arms and neck, radiated light.
Easy profit-
This is a good opportunity to test it out before facing a real dragon, not a hatchling.
Without hesitation, I kicked off the ground and flew up, extending my arms towards the huge fireball created by Monestier.
Faust, the teacher of all alchemists who succeeded in creating the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ in a previous life, said that the artifact exerts its power in proportion to the power of the caster.
If so, even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it will be possible to prevent major damage.
“Swallow the flame, Rising Force.”
The ruby embedded in the artifact ‘Rising Force’ radiated light.
At the same time, another artifact ‘Dark Star’ hanging around my neck amplified my aura and mana to the maximum, putting me into a runaway state.
At the same time, I fainted.
* * *
I clearly remember the scene where the two artifacts engulf the flames, but I don’t know what happened afterwards.
‘but.’
Those who saw this scene later said:
The dazzling golden aura emanating from his entire body and the figure swallowing a huge fireball with both arms were like a god.
“That’s what he said.”
Sister Valentine held my hand as I lay on the bed.
I could tell how much she was worried about me by the anxiety, nervousness, and sadness in her eyes.
“I’m glad I was able to protect my sister.”
It may be lip service, but I said something that would make her happy.
Valentine’s mouth twitched, but then he returned to his cold expression and tapped his forehead with his palm! and hit it.
“Never fight so recklessly again. “I heard from my doctor that if you had used up a little more energy, you could have died.”
Even though he was fighting for his life, he could have really died?
I answered her by forcing my upper body, which was not moving properly, to stand up.
“I heard that a true knight can grow through fighting at the risk of death.”
“… … .”
“Although this battle was dangerous, it definitely made me stronger.”
Valentine smiled for the first time in his life.
Of course, he didn’t give me any advice or praise.
After lightly stroking my head, he gently held me in his arms and called my name.
“Verdin.”
“Yes, sister.”
“Do you mind if I ask you one thing?”
“sure.”
“… The purple divine energy you unleashed against the dragon yesterday. “Is that a technique that Bae Hu-ryeong taught you?”
I understood her question right away.
Since I cut through the skin of a dragon that I was unable to cut with a single knife, I guess you want to know the identity of that power.
‘what.’
There is no need to hide it anymore.
Now, I have a level of skill that even Glazer cannot treat lightly, and the imperial army, which moves under the orders of the emperor, has also clearly recognized my existence due to this incident.
Now, no matter what abilities I exert, I won’t be able to approach you hastily.
“no.”
“No?”
“yes. It was my Bae Hu-ryeong, Siegfried, who taught me how to slay a dragon, or rather a hatchling. “The purple magic you mentioned is a technique I created.”
How will your sister react?
Valentine looked at my hands with his eyes focused, then raised his eyebrows and answered.
“Yes, it was a lot of hard work. Verdin.”
‘what?’
The answer was completely different from what I expected.
Of course, I thought I would ask how you got this power or how to use it.
You just had a lot of trouble?

“Try to rest.”
After saying these words, she left with a meaningful smile.
‘no way.’
Does your sister know the identity of Beon?

The two generals who had visited the Legion to deal with the Marquis Pierre returned to the Papal Palace.
They did not even think about taking care of their own territory, but went straight to the archbishop and explained everything they had witnessed.
“A dragon appeared in the Legion.”
The archbishop was quite surprised when he heard their news. The two generals in front of him right now are definitely not people who would tell lies.
Then, it is true that the dragon, a legendary monster, appeared on the continent.
“Then it’s a really big deal. “It’s a long time ago, but the Pope received an oracle and said that if a dragon appears, the continent will be destroyed.”
Normally, they would have dismissed the oracle as nothing more than a warning to people with low religious beliefs, but Clark and Wendy couldn’t ignore it now.
“Destruction?”
“Is that true?”
Let’s both ask at the same time.
The archbishop nodded slightly and answered.
“Yes, as you two generals know. “A dragon is something that humans cannot do anything about.”
The archbishop took out an old book, opened it, and continued.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“In the past, before the Legion had a tower. “It is said that God himself came down to this earth to prevent their destruction.”
Clark swallowed.
“God came down himself?”
“Yes, if it weren’t for that, this continent would probably be gone now. ‘Dragon’ is the seed of destruction itself for us humans.”
The more the archbishop explained about dragons, the more hardened Clark’s expression became.
“Then who is the human who can defeat the dragon? Are you saying he is strong enough to rival a god?”
“That’s right. “Well, if such a person exists.”
“… … .”
“For now, Strange and Glazer might be the closest.”
The archbishop turned the page again and showed the page with the dragon’s image on it.
“It is unclear whether they will be able to defeat the dragon. “It’s like you two are running away from the Legion.”
Wendy shook her head left and right.
“Bishop, I’m sorry, but we did not run away from the Legion.”
“yes? then… .”
“I’m on my way after slaying the dragon.”
The archbishop opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
“Well, you came back after defeating the dragon?”
“That’s right. Of course, it was handled by someone other than us… .”
Wendy looked at Clark. Clark also made eye contact with Wendy and smiled sheepishly.
“The youngest son of the Strange family, a knight named Verdin, succeeded in killing the dragon.”
The archbishop couldn’t believe it.
The youngest member of the Strange family that he knows is probably only eight or nine.
Someone so young took care of a dragon? And that too with two generals who are among the strongest on the continent.
“Is it true?”
“Yes, it’s all true.”
“So, the dragon that is currently in the Legion was dealt with by Strange?”
“you’re right. “I didn’t know, but there was another Stranger there besides Verdin who I mentioned earlier.”
“Who is that?”
“… “Valentine de Strange, the judge, was also there.”
The archbishop stopped talking and thought deeply. The two Stranges dealt with the dragon that appeared in the Legion.
By doing this, they may not only have the justification of protecting the castle, but also show off Strange’s power by making their skills more widely known.
‘Because they revived the dragon on purpose.’
It is said that once doubt begins, there is no end to it. The archbishop’s thoughts were now completely different from those of the two generals who had witnessed the previous battle.
‘Is there a need to show off one’s power in the Strange family now?’
Lois is already said to be the strongest creature on earth, and Valentine is such an outstanding knight that the Glazer family cannot treat him carelessly.
‘Why?’
My doubts deepened.
The archbishop could not give a clear answer and spoke to the two generals.
“Could you please bring that Verdin to the Papal Palace?”
Clark and Wendy responded by bowing their heads deeply and putting one knee on the ground.
thud.
“Could you please give this as a command rather than a request? “It’s easier for us to understand, and we have a reason to bring him here.”
“that’s right. “If we tell you to come to the Beopwangcheong without any reason, you won’t listen to us.”
As the archbishop listened to their answers, he prayed with his hands politely folded in front of his chest.
“Blessings will come to these lambs who have entered the path opened by the will of God.”
The archbishop continued speaking while blessing the heads of Clark and Wendy.
“Please take care of me so that I can endure whatever trials I face and come back here again.”
amen.

The aftereffects of dealing with Monestier were longer than expected.
It’s already been 15 days, but the wound from the guy’s cut hasn’t healed, and my energy is low because I used the talisman to its maximum.
‘This is the problem.’
You can use a talisman to gain even greater strength, but you must endure a proportional recovery time.
Expectedly, it will take about three months to complete recovery like this.
It was such a waste of time to stay in the mansion without being able to move.
‘and.’
Now that my reputation has grown so much that my existence cannot be ignored on the continent, this Legion will definitely be full of guys looking for my head.
It is dangerous to remain still like this.
‘Can not help it.’
I wanted to meet that guy as late as possible.
“Cynthia.”
“huh?”
“I guess I’ll have to find one more colleague.”
“colleague?”
“Yes, colleague.”
It’s so frustrating that I can’t help but sigh, but in the field of recovery, there is no one on this continent who can compare to this amazing person.
“I will go straight to the Pope’s Office as soon as the sun rises, so make sure you have everything ready by then.”
