I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 17
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After killing the Giant Eye Demon, the entire Kepoya Mountain Range immediately returned to peace.
The Empire soldiers from St. Vincent did not stop.
Under the lead of the general, they kept surging in from the northeast of the mountains, bent on killing all the large monsters in the mountain range.
At this moment, Mark had already brought Senforia away from the center of the mountain range and returned to the Kepoya village.
This matter had a huge impact and even alarmed the Empire’s army.
Therefore, the villagers who originally lived in this village returned to this place after hearing the news.
Before leaving, the two of them said goodbye to the village boy.
Originally, Senforia wanted to bring him back to the capital, but because several of the boy’s relatives had returned to the village, he chose to stay..
It was originally a simple bounty mission, but he did not expect to encounter so many things.
On the way back, Senforia was very depressed. She had not expected to encounter so many sad things in the Empire so easily.
This made her even more determined to become a top adventurer and expel the demons and magical beasts from the land of the humans!
Lying on the carriage, Senforia looked at the top and said, “Mark, is this common on this continent?”
“Oh? You mean like Kepoya?”
“Of course, this is why we want to build cities. Only then will the people live in a safe place!”
“There are many villages in the continent of Connors, and Kepoya is only one of them.”
“It’s common for such villages to be wiped out!”
After a moment of silence, Senforia sat up and said to Mark, “Is there really no way to avoid it?”
“In the past, the Emperor moved all the villagers in the surrounding villages into the city.”
“But after doing so, the number of villages did not decrease.”
“Every year, countless people still live in the dangerous villages!”
“However, the Emperor did not give up just like that. He continued to build small cities until he finally discovered the most important problem.”
“It’s not that he did not do well enough, but because people had their own decisions to make, so he gave up in the end!”
“He arranged the living quarters for the people who wanted to move into the city. If they didn’t want to enter the city, he arranged for the Empire Garrison Guards to send warnings to them when there was danger!”
“This is why there are so many adventurers in the Adventurer Guild!”
After hearing Mark’s words, Senforia suddenly realized that as the third princess of the Empire, she did not know as much as Mark, who lived in the wilderness.
Instantly, she felt guilty. She swore to find out what her father was doing every day after she returned!
This trip took a total of ten days. They could have returned in a week, but because the villagers had moved back to the village, the two of them stayed in Kepoya Village and helped the villagers work for three days.
After returning to the room, Mark first opened the magic message box at the entrance.
Other than the trimming of the plants near his courtyard and some messages from the teachers of a few classes that he missed, there was no important information.
He sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Soon, Mark discovered a problem. He had arrived in a strange space.
This space was half black and half white. In front of him was a huge two-colored baby dragon.
When the baby dragon saw Mark, it immediately stood up and flew around him.
Feeling the other party’s desire to play, Mark stayed in this consciousness space and played with it for a long time until his mind reached its limit and returned to his body.
At night, the doorbell rang. Mark was awakened and stood up.
He walked to the door and turned on the magic projector, only to see Arnold Rex, the homeroom teacher, standing outside.
“Oh no! Is it because of the letters?”
While the teacher walked in, Mark quickly checked the letters in the message box.
He saw that it was all about the recent classes and that the teachers wanted him to learn well to take the test.
With a sigh of relief, Mark went to the door and opened it in advance.
“Teacher Arnold, welcome to my school building!”
The teacher nodded and walked in. He turned to look at the weapons piled on the cabinet by the door, still stained with the blood of magical beasts.
Then, he sat on the sofa in the hall.
In a flurry, Mark made a cup of tea and brought it to him.
Seeing that Mark was still standing at the side, he waved at him to sit down.
“I haven’t seen you in the past week, so I came to see how you’re doing!”
With that, he took out a few test papers and placed them in front of Mark, then explained, “Do these test papers now. I’ll come and collect them in a while!”
But after some thought, he asked Mark, “Is Senforia at home?”
“She is. I went out with her a few days ago to complete a guild mission. That’s why I missed the exam.”
“That’s good. Call her over now. The two of you can finish these papers in front of me!”
After a short conversation and message, Mark knew what was happening. There was a small simulation test this week.
In the end, because Mark and Senforia went too far to complete their mission, they did not return in time to take the test.
They did not leave a message in the academy either.
As their homeroom teacher, Arnold was worried about the two of them. Therefore, he used the excuse of the exam to specially check on their recent situation.
After the two of them completed the test, Arnold personally reviewed it and praised the two of them, “Not bad, almost all the answers are correct!”
“Looks like during this period of time, you did not neglect your studies even when you went out to do the mission!”
“Remember to leave a message for me before you travel next time!”
With that, he put away the test papers, waved at the two of them, and left.
After sending off Arnold, the two of them sighed and leaned on the sofa.
“Did you just get up?” The messy-haired Senforia asked Mark, who was also in a mess.
“Something like that! I had a strange dream and was woken up by the doorbell!”
With that, Mark stood up, walked to the kitchen, and took out the food from the refrigerator.
Smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, Senforia immediately became more spirited. She sat up and waited for dinner.
After dinner, Senforia put down her fork and said to Mark, “I want to make a trip back home during this period of time!”
“Don’t run away alone. Wait until I’m back before accepting another mission!”
Mark thought that something was urgent, but it turned out to be this matter. He immediately answered, “Of course, I promised to teach you to be an excellent adventurer.”
“You’re far from it now!”
Hearing this, Senforia turned her head and snorted, then turned and walked out.
