I Received System to Become Dragonborn - Chapter 52 Possibility

Aurdis, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk returned from the dungeon shortly after. They came back at just the right time. That is when all problems are solved.

Through the explanations of the Elves and Erend, they could tell what had just happened. The Daemon of Calamity attacked them suddenly by digging a hole in the underground palace.

Upon hearing about this, Aurdis immediately went to meet the Elves who were in charge of maintaining the Magic shield that surrounded the palace.

She and everyone else thought that the magic shield that had been protecting the palace was no longer working.

All the residents of the Elf palace gathered in a backyard that was so spacious that it could accommodate all of them.

They gathered on Aurdis’ orders. The Elf soldiers were also on guard around them with an attitude of alert and ready to fight whenever danger came.

When there is a possibility that the Magic shield had been broken, they couldn’t eliminate the chance of a major attack coming.

After a few minutes of waiting, Aurdis finally came along with an Elf with a silver beard extending to his stomach. Despite having a long beard, the Elf didn’t seem to have an old face that matched his beard.

Instead, he looks almost the same age as Aurdis. That’s a strange sight for Erend, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk.

Aurdis spoke in front of the Elves.

“The magic shield that protects our palace is still intact.”

As soon as they heard it, the Elves immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But of course, the problem didn’t end there.

“But why did the Daemons of Calamity get in here?” One of the Elves asked.

That question immediately put the Elves into another anxious state. Aurdis turned to the Elf next to her to ask him to continue the explanation.

The long-bearded Elf nodded and then began to speak. “Why could the Daemon of Calamity enter the palace? The Archmages and I don’t know the exact answer.”

‘Archmages?’ Erend frowned. ‘Sounds like a group of people with strong Magic.’

Erend had already seen how the Elf used Magic. They have very strong Magic power. But when Erend heard the name Archmage, Erend immediately knew that there was an even higher level of Magic user among them.

“Something seems to have happened in a very short period to the palace’s Magic shield. The Daemon of Calamity took advantage of that short timeframe to enter the palace by digging a tunnel.” The Elf Archmage continued his explanation.

There were murmurs from the gathered Elves.

“Uh-oh,” Billy said. “I don’t like where this is going.”

“How did those creatures called Daemons of Calamity to know about something that would happen to this castle’s Magic shield?” Lt.Boartusk added.

That possibility naturally entered their mind. And the Elves weren’t stupid either. They must have questioned that too.

But strangely Erend, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk didn’t hear any questions about it. The Elves preferred to question that with their friends in a whisper.

While the three of them felt they had no right to ask. Especially amid the Elves. Maybe later they will ask Aurdis directly.

Soon the crowd dispersed. The Elves returned to the palace leaving Erend, Billy, and Lt. Bortusk in the wide field.

Aurdis and the Elf Archmage were still here too. Aurdis waved her hand telling the three of them to come closer.

“What is it?” Lt. Boartusk asked.

“You must know something’s weird, right?” Aurdis asked.

“Yes. I suspect someone is up to something.” Lt.Boartusk said curtly.

“We Elves, it’s a bit difficult to talk about that,” Aurdis said.

“You mean about the possibility of a traitor in the palace?” Billy answered.

Aurdis and the Archmage glanced at him. The Archmage’s face looked calm but Erend noticed that his fists suddenly clenched after hearing Billy’s words.

“Yes. About that,” Aurdis replied. In contrast to the Elf Archmage beside her, Aurdis looked calmer like her usual self.

“Then what do you want to do now?” Erend asked.

Aurdis was silent and sighed. Then she turned to the Archmage.

“Saeldir, what do you think?” Aurdis asked the Archmage.

“I think everything is fine,” Saeldir replied in a stiff tone. “I’ve confirmed that our Magic Shield is working properly again.”

“Is that so? Good.” Aurdis nodded her head. “Aerchon is away to fulfill our father’s call. He won’t be back in seven days.”

“Where exactly is your father? How come I never saw him present when things were going on like this?” Erend said in a tone that sounded a little irritated.

p Aurdis pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. But Saeldir glared at Erend as if he had just said something very presumptuous.

“Watch your mouth, human,” Saeldir said in a cold warning tone.

“What? I’m just asking,” Erend didn’t think he was wrong.

They both stared at each other for a few moments. Erend who didn’t feel like he was asking something wrong. But Saeldir tried to warn him in a threatening tone. Erend’s emotions started to rise.

“Our father is in the Mountain of Gray Heaven,” Aurdis said. “That is the place where our mother is buried.”

Erend, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk looked at Aurdis. Her face now looks a bit sad.

“The King decided to accompany his wife and leave the reign to the prince and princess,” Saeldir continued.

“That sounds–”

“We understand.” Lt.Boartusk cut off Erend’s words. Erend immediately closed his mouth again.

“Now it seems all is well,” Aurdis said with a smile. “You can go back to your rooms. And Erend, thanks.”

Erend looked at Aurdis. “Sure. Luckily I was in that garden. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened to this palace.”

Aurdis nodded with a smile, then said, “Yes. If it weren’t for you maybe this would all be bad.”

Erend, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk walked out of them into the palace. Saeldir looked at Erend’s back with a furrowed brow.

“You better not bother them,” Aurdis said. “They’ve already saved us.”

“No. I won’t do it,” Saeldir said. “I’m just curious about that human’s power.”
