Chapter 317
That\'s the cause! that\'s it!
‘The sword my sister stabbed was the cause!\'
The report was received at the time.
At that time, when the dragon was subdued, Kanianuna used all her strength to pierce the dragon\'s heart with pure sword blades.
Since the dragon ran away, I thought it must have been a mistake.
But somehow, it seems that my sister\'s sword hit that guy\'s heart right at that time.
I have a very vague wound.
It wasn\'t a fatal wound, but it wasn\'t a minor one either.
My sister\'s aura was still clinging to her, preventing her from healing.
and! How unlucky is it to get hurt so badly?
“Did you… hide in the city because you lost your powers?”
“.. kuh”
I asked, and he gritted his teeth in resentment.
....It would have been a little better if the pretty girl had a face like this.
Bullying a man isn\'t much fun.
“Kill him.”
therefore! It\'s no fun when a guy says things like that!
“…It’s frustrating. If I had just a little longer, I would have healed my wounds... and survived and reclaimed my territory.”
“...No, I wouldn\'t be afraid to hear that from the guy who was working diligently a moment ago.”
Something is wrong with me.
Looking at Delneph, who gave up as if in desperation, and pondered over what to do, I made my decision.
“Haa... what is it? That\'s Kim Sae!”
“?...”
What?”
“It’s done. Stay still.”
After I stopped putting an end to it, I cast a healing spell.
I didn\'t deliberately fix the wounds that Kania had stabbed, but instead I fixed the fan wounds.
This is Arel\'s bottle and heal.
Anyway, he\'s not in a normal condition, so he can\'t escape my magic.
Receive my healing gently.
Delneph, completely healed, looks at me with a face asking what the hell is this all about.
“...What are you doing! Are you pitying me!”
“I just thought it was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of . No other reason.”
Well, if that\'s sympathy, you can call it sympathy too.
“...Even if I did something like this, do you think I would give up my anger at you!
The shame of taking my territory, daring to make me like this, and daring to manipulate me…” “
…No, I wouldn’t deny about half of them, but about half of them seem to put unreasonable suspicions on me?”
It is unfair. It\'s unfair!
Cylinder! that\'s not me!
“what?”
“Because I wanted to talk about that as well.”
Originally, the plan was to make it with dragon dough and interrogate it.
Against this guy in his current state, it doesn\'t even taste like that.
is a plan change.
“Sit down for a moment. Let\'s have an elegant conversation between those who are intelligent. conversation. know?”
Even when I bring a chair and tell him to sit down, Delnef remains silent.
I feel a lot of distrust in my eyes.
.. can\'t I help it?
“Then ask me like this. First of all, let me ask you a question. Delnef. Are you the dragon that was there then? Seongguk… can I say it?”
After thinking about how to ask the question for a while, I asked again.
“Do you remember fighting the human army?”
“... vaguely.”
He closed his mouth and managed to answer.
“On the other side of consciousness, it comes to my mind faintly. The human army rushed at me and pierced through my misery... And when I came to my senses, a huge aura blade pierced my chest.”
“…Ah, is that time? So, it means you\'re unconscious until then.”
After all, do you have any memories of being manipulated?
“Why ask?”
“No, um... First of all, is it not me who manipulated you?”
“Do not lie! I sense a resemblance to those evil monsters in you!”
“Presence?”
“That soul!”
He showed his teeth and growled.
“That stuck soul. That is proof that you are a monster. An evil monster that Lords have been wary of for a thousand years! Isn\'t that you!”
“The fixation of the soul… is it the same as what the Hogu kings said?”
“Hogu King?”
“There is such a thing.”
It is the fixation of the soul.
It\'s not that I can\'t guess.
“I know what you mean, but not me.
To put it bluntly, I\'m on the harmless side.
At least I haven\'t done anything particularly bad here other than selling and a little arson and cheating.”
“Do not lie! Your evil deeds have been known for thousands of years!”
“Isn’t that a lie?”
I shrugged.
Why don\'t you believe me?
You say there\'s no other being as harmless as me?
It\'s really sad.
sniff
pretended to cry
Why doesn\'t everyone know my heart?
“lets think. Let\'s pretend I\'m on the same team as the guy who manipulated you? So why do I need to tell you this? Rather, I wondered if you were still being manipulated by that little boy back then.”
That\'s why I treated Delneph violently.
Did you know that the little boy was cheating on you then?
I didn\'t know what to do, so I moved a little hastily.
However, for some reason, this dragon seems to be living in the city on its own accord, regardless of them.
“There\'s no way a normal dragon would be sane and live in a city, right? There seems to be some circumstances, but can you tell me the reason?”
It\'s not like I just use force every time.
Depending on the other person, you may be able to solve it through conversation.
Originally, my major was punching, and my minor was jaw dropping.
However, Delneph still couldn\'t take his guard away from me.
It\'s like a cat that has just been kidnapped.
Should I even tame it with food?
“...what do you believe in... you want to have a conversation with?”
“Hmm... I can\'t believe it.”
Even I think it\'s a little bit like that.
If you lock them up in an unknown place and ask them to solve them through conversation, they won\'t trust you.
You have to show some reasonable sincerity in order to be trusted.
“Then how about here?”
He snapped his fingers and teleported Delneph at the same time.
And the place we arrived at is a very familiar indoor landscape this time.
it\'s my home office
“This is...
” “If this is the case, even with your current skills, you will be able to grasp the location, right?”
To Delneph, who was perplexed, I haughtily sat down on the sofa and said,
“Unlike the previous place, this is just my private office, which is moderately soundproofed. If we fight here, we\'ll just be crushed in vain. That\'s not what I want either. Escape from there would be easy. Would you be willing to have a conversation here?”
When I repeatedly emphasized that I had no intention of fighting, Delnef seemed to be in agony.
Although on his part I still can\'t believe it.
Judging by my attitude, it would be subtle to make a judgment easily.
Although they look violent, they are intelligent enough lizards.
I don\'t see it to the extent that you can\'t understand what I\'m saying.
What if I\'m mistaken?
At that time, what should I do to make him listen to me - with two firm fists.
It\'s a good alternative conversational tool.
Delnef, who had been agonizing for a while, eventually came to a conclusion and moved on to the next action.
He sat on the sofa across from me without saying a word.
“Yes, that is a reasonable choice.”
Thanks to that, I don\'t need to throw a persuasion left straight.
I finally started to interview the dragon that entered my city illegally.
“The White Dragon Delneph... Um, isn’t that your true name?”
“What happened? I have no intention of asking the truth. I\'ll just call it Delneph. okay?”
“do whatever you want.”
Even the name is fine.
All I want to know is the little details of how this guy got here.
Apparently, he sees through my true identity to some extent.
But why did he bother to stay in Fahilia?
that\'s the question
You know I\'m not that easy to handle, so why stay within my realm?
It doesn\'t sound like a suicide attempt.
I was curious about that too.
Of course, I secretly asked the store manager, who was acquainted with this guy, how he had hired him.
However, that is the point of view of a human being who knows nothing.
Now I\'m going to compare what she testified with what this guy is going to say.
It is the basis of investigation and interrogation.
But Delneph also seems to have something he wants to ask me.
“I will ask you one thing first.”
“However much.”
Can you give me the order in which to ask the questions first?
“How did you know who I am? The current me shouldn\'t be much different from a human... I thought I\'d put enough effort into hiding.”
“That\'s right.”
I readily admitted
In fact, Delnef\'s polymorph was almost perfect.
Looking at it with my own eyes, there is no sense of incongruity at all.
There is no doubt that he just looks like a handsome young man without aegyo.
Even so, I noticed his true identity.
“But isn’t it strange that the mana of an employee at a mere chocolate shop is more than that of a famous wizard?”
Is it like that?”
Even if you change your appearance, you cannot change the mana you hold inside your body.
For the first time, he had a sense of incongruity that his mana reserves exceeded those of ordinary humans.
“And another one.”
I gestured and lifted a document on my desk with mana and brought it in front of me.
“Did you write down your birthplace as ‘Rosinna’?”
“What did that mean?”
Delnef doesn\'t seem to understand.
“It is definitely a place name that actually exists. Above all, my magic worked well for that human soldier at the time. Couldn\'t you have noticed?”
“that\'s right. There is no problem there.”
For a dragon, it was quite clever.
I honestly appreciated that.
Of course, by my standards, it was clumsy for a while.
Still, the fake identity was plausible.
If it hadn\'t been here, it would have been wonderfully successful.
Okay, now I want to kindly teach you what your mistake is.
“When was it that you didn’t know that name? 300 years ago?”
As soon as I saw this place name, I had to pick up the history of the kingdom of Ernesia.
“What does that mean?”
“The city you mentioned collapsed about 200 years ago.”
Due to the disaster, the entire city was in ruins.
Now it has been revived by another lord and is called a different place.
It was a mistake he made because he only knew the name of Ernesia Kingdom from 300 years ago.
From there, I deduced that this guy was not human at all. Also, recently I doubted that I didn\'t know geography.
”Kuh... Hadelnef
finally gnashed his teeth as if it was absurd to even think about his mistake.
“Repenting for mistakes is a good attitude. Won\'t you soon answer my question?”
I\'m responding honestly enough.
If this side shows sincerity, shouldn\'t you show it too?
Now it\'s my turn to ask
“Why are you working here? It doesn\'t look like a simple game, but\'?”
For Yu-hee, the sense of life was so desperate that it brought me to tears.
oh my god! It\'s a life of working and sleeping with your eyes open.
What is that! Terrible!
If he wants to do that, he is definitely a pervert.
“...According to the number of years you count, it was two years ago.”
Delnef, as if intending to say something, slowly began to tell him what had happened.
“I was freed from the brainwashing of that monster and returned here by instinct.”
