9th Circle Lord - 174 #174화 Hartzling
Luther, who was walking aimlessly, stopped walking.
The view of the open plain horizon is unusual.
He tilted his head.
“Why are you there?”
He mumbled and hurried his steps.
Once he took a step, he crossed the region and the region as if he had moved.
The wilderness unfolded as the gentle ridge passed through the plain.
Amid the occasional sandstorm, a small village in the Horikyung Basin was seen.
Luther quickly headed for the entrance to the village.
The atmosphere at the entrance was serious.
The villagers huddled together and carried the household on a bundle and put it in a cart.
Everyone seems to be moving.
When Luther appeared, people showed their guard at once.
Strangers who are unknown are not easily welcomed in rural communities.
A sun-tanned man approached with an impression.
“Who are you?”
The tone of the question has come to an end.
Luther agonized over Janghan’s question.
What should we do this time?
It was Luther who added fun to frequent job changes.
He pondered and made a decision.
Luther purposely searched his arms with an expressionless face and held out a card.
It was identification provided by the Fiorentze family.
But they can’t tell the truth.
However, the ID card emblazoned with brilliant gold color was scratched.
Jang-han, who was confident for the first time, flinched and asked carefully.
“What’s that?”
“I am Luther, the wizard of the Fiorentse family. When I heard there was a problem here, I was sent to investigate.”
Luther’s fake status surprised Jang-han and blinked.
“The Fiorentse family?”
Even a rural village on the outskirts knows the Fiorentze family.
Jang Han’s shoulders, which boasted of his dashing shoulders, shrank.
Luther raised his chin and asked in an arrogant motion.
“Yeah. Who’s the village chief?”
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Janghan leapt toward the inside of the village.
After a while, a bent old man came out with a cane.
The old man, who appeared with the help of a great man, burst into tears as soon as he saw Luther.
“Oh, my wizard. Please help my town.”
an old man begging suddenly
Luther replied in a rather cold manner.
We need to examine the facts for now. What the hell happened here?”
“As you can see, the village has been devastated.”
“Is it going to be desolate? It wasn’t supposed to be?”
“It was originally a great place for tourists to visit. But in a day, it became like this.”
“Explain it in detail.
The old man’s appeal began.
Originally, this area was not a wilderness, but a good place to live with green fields.
One day, all the fields died, and all the grain planted by the village died.
“The ground suddenly dried up, and it turned into sand. Originally, it was moist and high-quality soil, but it suddenly became like this.”
“The land is dry. I got it.”
“Will you be able to get it back to normal?”
“We’ll have to do more research, but it’s not impossible.”
The old man’s face was painted with Luther’s answer.
“Is that true?”
“There is no change without a reason. I’ll do my full research and bring the town back to its former state, and you’ll reassure the villagers.”
“Oh, my God. There’s no way. Thank you, Wizard.”
Chief’s expression is bright after a long time.
The villagers, who were watching, were delighted to hear the news.
Luther, who was walking through the dry fields under the eyes of envy, smiled at the back of the village.
How did you end up staying here?
I’m facing an old relationship again.
Luther informed the villagers that he would examine the mountain and climbed it.
The mountain was ripe like autumn leaves.
Overall, all the plants were dead, and dead branches were scattered on the floor.
Luther climbed the middle of the mountain and stood in front of the cliff.
In the past, moisture remained as if it served as a waterfall.
Luther lightly stood in the middle of the Parkcha Falls and moved forward.
A hard rock blocked him, and he penetrated him as if he were welcome.
The interior was wide and bright.
It was as bright as a light-emitting stone, and there was a reason.
“Long time no see, my friend.”
His eyes turned to the epicenter of the cave.
There, the Golden Dragon Cox was hibernating.
The area has been influenced by Cox.
Dragons have a manna body.
When I was hibernating, I left Mana alone because I didn’t have to control him, but now that I’m trying to wake up, my body was naturally pulling Mana to replenish my physical strength.It is natural that the surrounding area becomes devastated by absorbing Manna.
And absorbing manna during hibernation means waking up soon.
The huge eyelids move as if they are showing signs of waking up.
Luther sat in front of it and waited until he woke up.
After a while, Cox’s giant eyelids were lifted.
Blurred eyes became clear.
At the same time, he confirmed Luther’s of Luther.
Luther, who received Cox’s attention, smiled broadly.
“Are you up now?”
At first, the suspicious gaze soon widened.
At the same time, Cox’s body was engulfed by a group of lights.
Cox, who returned to the human shape, welcomed Luther with open arms.
“No! Who is this!”
Cox hugged Luther as if he was glad to see him after a long time.
After a fierce welcome, Cox looked at Luther with a puzzled look.
“Are you awake now?”
“Yes.”
“What was the futility you mentioned before?”
“You did a good job. But we don’t know when it will happen again, so we need to hibernate regularly like you.”
“The power of emptiness is mysterious.”
Cox’s eyes were filled with envy.
Luther was more curious about Cox’s work than his own situation.
“But how did you end up hibernating in this world?”
“Because no one welcomed me.”
I felt bitterness in Cox’s smiling tone.
Luther beckoned.
“I’m ready to listen. Let’s get out of here.”
“How did you find me anyway?”
“I saw it as I went.”
The talking Luther lifted his leg and kicked the floor slightly.
Then Manna, who had been sucked into Cox’s disappearance, rose from his bottom and began to cover the area nearby.
Manna filled the sky with dark clouds and began to sprinkle rain.
Shoot! Shoot!
It rained and the quality soil held water.
Soon this area will be as green as ever again.
Luther moved to town with Cox.
It was largely due to rain that did not fall under the influence of dry crops.
It rained and the soil was wet.
In the midst of a shower, all the villagers were dancing outside.
It seems to be a pleasure to see the rain.
Luther told the delighted chief the news.
“Now this area is going back to what it used to be.”
“Seo, did the wizard make it rain?”
“We didn’t make it rain, but we found an anomaly in Manna in this area. When I put it back, it’s back to normal.”
The old man, who was ignorant of magic, did not understand the meaning, but he took it as meaning that Luther solved it.
I have no other benefactor.
The attitude of the chief and the villagers was extreme.
I stayed at the best house under guidance.
Luther had a conversation with Cox over drinks made by Chief himself.
“What do you mean, no one welcomed you?”
“For now, this race didn’t welcome me. You know, they’ve been a little bit damaged by the dragon.”
The centuries-old history of exploitation still remains deeply rooted.
So Cox can’t be welcomed.
Luther understood that point.
“It can’t be helped. But that doesn’t mean you’re restricted.”
There was no place where Cox with polymorph could not be active.
If he made up his mind, he could fool and act like an elf or a male.
“Actually.”
Cox, who was scratching his forehead for trouble, soon sighed.
“There’s a reason why they rejected me.”
“Something?”
“I want to revive the Dragon race again.”
Luther tilted his head at Cox’s plan.
“When did you not care whether your species died or not, why did you change your mind?”
“All the Dragons are gone and I’m left alone, and suddenly I’m feeling strange. If I die, the dragons will all become extinct.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know what it’s going to be like for you, but for me as a party, it feels very uncomfortable. I thought I couldn’t let go of my roots.”
I guess the dragon couldn’t let it go extinct.
Luther understood Cox’s feelings.
However, considering the influence of the dragon, no one could be pleased.
“Have you ever told anyone about your plan?”
“Of course not. ‘Cause I’m sure you’re against it.’
The same may be true of the people of Sulsan as well as of Yi Jong.
In addition, a man with a strong desire for power would not welcome the revival of the mighty Dragons.Only then did Luther realize why Cox had to hibernate on the outskirts.
“Are you ready to resurrect your own people?”
“It’s not a resurrection. It’s a rebirth again.”
“Giving birth?”
“Yes, and the eggs have already been laid.”
Luther’s eyes were strange.
Cox burst into laughter when he noticed the meaning of his eyes.
“Our dragons, unlike humans, are a self-organizing body. You can lay eggs on your own if you want.”
In the first place, the distinction between males and females was meaningless.
Luther laughed bitterly at the criticism.
Cox asked his intention.
“What do you think?”
“What do you think of me?”
“My plan. If you disagree, I’ll give up this plan.”
Luther was responsible for the dragon’s destruction, but Cox did not resent it.
Dragon society in the past was rotten water.
It was so corrupt that no one could touch it, and without Luther’s event, he would still have maintained a dragon society with a smell.
On the contrary, I was grateful that I could start such a plan.
Luther responded generously to Cox’s nervous question.
“Why am I against your plan? Suit yourself.”
Cox was surprised at the unexpected response this time.
“Is that really right?”
“I am not the owner of this world. You don’t have to ask me for permission. It’s your will that counts.”
“I’m trying to revive the dragon that caused problems in the past.”
“Yes, but it’s different from the past. Most of all, they’re your children.”
Cox sighed at Luther’s positive answer.
“Once you put out the fire. I’m glad you’re not against it.”
“A friend of mine has a child. Would you disagree?”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome, but you’ll need early education. We shouldn’t repeat the history of the past.”
“Of course. I’m definitely going to guide you on that.”
Cox, who had been vowing, hesitated for a while and asked for it.
“If you don’t feel pressured, can I ask you a favor?”
“Something?”
“Help me wake up the egg.”
“How?”
“It’s been a while since I gave birth, but I don’t think I’ll ever wake up. It’s because of the lack of high purity mana.”
“That could help.”
Luther immediately opened the space.
“Let’s go.”
Cox, who entered Luther’s gesture, looked around and nodded.
I liked it quite a lot when there was a rich island floating in the open space.
“If you face the universe up close, you’ll have a good sense of humility. It’s a good environment to grow up in.”
Cox, who sniffed with appreciation, smiled broadly and raised his thumb.
“Mana’s purity is excellent. Hatchling is a good place to grow.”
“Hatchling?”
“It means calling the baby dragon. I want to make this a childcare center from now on, is it okay?”
“As much as you want.”
“Now, shall we get started?”
Cox, who rubbed his hand, untied the polymorph.
Cox, who was wise in his main body, put down the eggs he laid in front of Luther.
Luther first saw the dragon’s egg.
Luther, who was watching carefully, made a false laugh.
“You’ve seen all the dragon eggs in your life.”
It was interesting and fun.
Luther looked at the eggs with curious eyes for a long time.
