Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

82 – Cult of Shadows (3)

Winter quietly spread the distance.

[Kiii-.]

Even during that time, Han’s eyes were the same.

He glared at him fiercely, baring his teeth, revealing unmistakable hostility.

Seeing the figure of Han, the guardian dragon, Lucia panicked, not knowing what to do.

[Su, Guardian Dragon…! No! The person in front of me is Mr. Winter!]

Lucia tried to block Han’s eyes with her hand, but to no avail.

He continued to stare at the winter.

Having once dared to touch his contractor, he was already his antagonist.

To lay a hand on the dragon’s contractor was to damage his dignity.

If you look at it in a way, it was the same as aiming for your own gold and silver treasure.

I touched the most fundamental nature.

There was a reason why Han showed such hostility.

At that appearance, Winter smiled bitterly.

[Oops. It seems that I have touched the temper of the mighty Guardian Dragon.]

It seems that the first meeting was a bit wrong.

It was a face-to-face encounter with the successor of the Northern Grand Duke’s family after a long time.

Unknowingly, he showed joy, but it seemed that it touched the temper of the guardian dragon, Han.

‘Come to think of it, did I say that a creature called a dragon terribly cares for its contractor?’

I didn’t mean to, but the fault was on his side in winter, so I can’t say anything.

But there was no point in trying to recall that fact now.

In the end, getting out of this place was the priority.

Han’s status is close to that of a religion, at least in this empire.

It was because his existence itself had an absolute influence on this land.

Moreover, besides Calliope, he is already the only guardian dragon.

Even as Winter, there was nothing good about touching Han’s temper if possible.

Because dragons are already a natural monument.

Winter patted Jania on the shoulder and spoke to him.

[Zania. Let’s talk more about it later. I don’t think now is the time.]

[Are you going to stop going?]

[Yes.]

Saying that, Winter turned her back.

He waved his hand excitedly as he walked down the aisle. It was his own goodbye.

[…]

To the state of winter that is so far away.

Only then did the eyes of the guardian dragon, Han, loosen up.

As if the sharp look from a moment ago had disappeared, he quietly curled up his tail and licked his foreleg again.

[Ha.]

Only then did Lucia let out a sigh of relief.

It was one of the strongest players on this continent.

Even though his status is a mercenary that does not belong to any one place,

Just because he already belonged to the master, he was a person who would easily get at least one of the dukes of any kingdom if he set his mind to it.

It was only natural that Lucia could not help but be surprised to see hostility toward such a person out of the blue.

If the winter had revealed her displeasure, she had no choice but to do it on her own.

It was only to the point where I had to thank him for quietly backing down.

Belatedly, I warned the guardian dragon, Han, who had come to his senses.

[Guardian Dragon…! You can’t do that.]

[Kiii-.]

Han, the guardian dragon, was calm.

He showed closeness by rubbing the nape of his neck calmly at the figure of Lucia who was paying attention to him.

‘I know that much too well, Lucia. But what if things don’t go the way I want?’

Han, the guardian dragon, was of dragon lineage.

Even he can’t help going against his own nature.

I openly show my displeasure, and if I’m satisfied with it, I calm down. It was a polyp.

But while he smelled Lucia’s fragrant body odor, he also thought about it.

[…]

Han’s eyes narrowed.

He was a man with an eccentric feeling.

Wigrapher’s Winter.

Maybe it was one of the few great powers on this continent?

The smell of the cold chill, which had only existed with him until now, was felt by the man called Winter.

Even the inherent size makes me feel much more powerful than that.

Perhaps the greatest northern swordsman on the continent, as much as Lucrecia herself.

“After-.”

Jerbug.

Wegrapher’s winter.

Entering a dark alley in the academy, he stopped in place.

After holding his breath for a while, he looked up at the empty space and opened his mouth.

“Hey. Come out.”

“…”

But the surroundings were quiet.

The only sound was his breathing. As if no one was there.

“hahahaha.”

At that, Winter burst out laughing.

He muttered to himself.

“Are you saying you won’t come out?”

Well, actually, it didn’t matter.

It wasn’t like he called it expecting something.

If he was going to come out without hesitation just because he was called in the first place, he wouldn’t have been hiding there.

But if it ended with just the first word, he would be good and the other person would be good too.

But if he remains silent like this, he has no choice but to exercise his power.

In the first place, he hated such a cumbersome process, but what can he do? She has already received her price, so she has no choice but to do it.

From noble mtl dot com

Gooh Oh-.

A pure white chill began to leak from the hands of the winter.

It was cold enough to make steam in the warm weather of the Central Continent.

Of course, the coolness was great beyond words.

Damn it. Damn

Ahead of winter, the chill that appeared began to freeze.

Soon, an ice statue appeared in front of him with a surface so smooth that his own face could be reflected like a mirror.

Hook!

He thrust his hand into the mirror without hesitation.

The hand put on the other side of that mirror image,

He looked like he was rummaging through something for a while, and then Winter smiled.

“I found it.”

Let the winter pull it out with strength,

“Kuck, gagging!”

What came along from the other side of the mirror that seemed to be reflected was a ‘one human being’.

“Hmm.”

Winter glanced over at him as he struggled while holding his neck, then shed a scornful laugh with a look of contempt.

“hahahaha. I wondered who was hiding and watching secretly. I see now that it was one of the guys in that town.”

The smell of blood made me vibrate. It was clear that he was an assassin who had awakened and killed people.

His sense of smell is more acute than that of most beasts.

It was easy to tell which side of the human the guy caught in front of him was.

“Hey. What is your true identity?”

That was the moment.

“Kuk, gagging…!”

Suddenly, the man opened his eyes wide and trembled.

I stopped breathing.

Perhaps he committed suicide as soon as he was caught.

I didn’t even have to ask.

If you’re such a dark and shady guy, the only corner you can guess is that there are only a handful of writers on this vast continent.

“Tsk.”

The cold winter released the man who had stopped breathing in an instant.

Then the man fell to the ground helplessly like a puppet with a thread cut off.

He twitched his hand and opened his mouth.

“Are you watching, seungnyang?”

“…”

At that time, I could feel the gaze from behind.

Looking back, I see a man standing in Imperial uniform.

Georyeong grinned, showing white teeth.

“Yes. You were there.”

Seungnyangyi accepted the fallen assassin’s corpse and opened his mouth.

“I will take care of this guy myself.”

“Yes. Do your job right How do you let an assassin crawl into the academy? Aren’t you also in one of the great powers in name and color?”

“…”

The seungnyang didn’t answer that question.

He just raised his head and stared at the winter with cool eyes.

The eyes of the two met each other.

Teenage Powers.

Since the locations of each other belonged to the Empire, the North, and each kingdom, the location was bound to be infinitely far away, but there were bound to be large and small points of contact.

A seungnyangi belonging to Winter and the Empire’s commandos.

It was the same between them.

One side was the hunter of the Empire, and the other side was the hunter of the Great Forest.

At one point, they chased each other to death and growled.

However, there was no need to do so until now, when we faced a public enemy right in front of us.

There is a saying that the enemy of an enemy is an ally.

The two are currently here for the same purpose.

Seungnyangi, a member of the Imperial Army, silently lifted the corpse over his shoulder and turned him around.

“Do you want to go now?”

“Yes.”

Winter laughed fiercely.

He raised his index finger and tapped the back of his nose.

“I started smelling it. Those guys, it seems there are not one or two in this capital, right?”

“…”

“It’s quite enough to vibrate the water supply, but you’ll have to pay a hefty price.”

At the end of winter, the wildcat quietly disappeared.
