The Foreigner on the Periphery - Chapter 135

Minjun’s eyes widened. “Did you hold hands with Inais?”

Her child, more precisely the yolk in an egg that has not yet hatched, was also the heir to the lord. Just as the elder dragons pledged to share the dragon heart by holding hands, was a similar conspiracy underway among the direct heirs?

Kentius nodded blankly. “She suggested it first. Inais’ child is not a hatchling, it’s an egg that hasn’t even hatched yet. She can’t afford to go around looking for the culprit.”

The other guardians of her age had no incentive to solidarity with her, so they seemed to have chosen her partner among her younger heirs.

“It was Inais who came up with the idea to offer you a deal. I would hold her hand even if I was curious about her tax evasion method.”

However, the plan after that, like a dragon… was extremely dragon-centric. Upon hearing the story, Minjun was dumbfounded and clicked his tongue. “The plan was to pamper me and then tell Inais how to do it only after everything is finished?”

Did they see him as some sort of nerd? ‘It’s an offer I can’t accept unless I’m crazy. But…’

At this, Minjun fell into thought. Of course, Inais could have been lying about anything. But why wouldn’t she even tell her co-conspirator, Kentius, if she intended to trick Minjun in the first place? And, of course, even if he chose the price, he continued to push it. Something that an ordinary dragon would not even be able to conceive of.

If one was going to lie anyway, there would soon be more plausible options.

‘What is the reason?’ Minjun’s thoughts deepened.

***

Ha Eun-seong had been busy for a long time. He was currently wandering around New York City in an out-of-body state. The target was roughly near Minjun.

Among them, he chose a place where a strangely powerful exorcist was installed in order to explore it. It was the second overseas visit after Germany, although it cannot be called ‘free travel’ in any sense.

‘Well? It’s a bit strange here too.’

Upon reaching the luxurious penthouse, Ha Eun-seong touched the wall of the building with his spiritual body.

Thrilling-! There came a sharp, penetrating feeling. This was a dragon-class spell. Now he, too, could tell the level of the exorcism spell, although he could stop him no matter how sophisticated he was.

Ha Eun-seong broke through the building and entered. There were two men and women sitting opposite each other. His gaze then captured the souls of the two. Such was a sense of weight that was different from that of ordinary races.

‘As expected, it’s a dragon. Both.’

Ha Eun-seong faithfully searched the surroundings following Minjun’s instructions. After arriving in New York, the agent felt magical gazes everywhere. He tried to confuse the backtracking by saying that he was a dragon on the subject, but he couldn’t pletely hide his tail.

And so, he unleashed a ghost on this city. Not all dragons had spiritual body sensory powers as subordinates like Changcheon. In addition, after the exorcism, the psychological barrier against the spy in the spirit body collapsed. In their mon sense, this level of defense was sufficient.

‘Okay, check here too.’

Instead of leaving immediately, Ha Eun-seong hid in the ceiling and listened. A conversation between the two could be heard. “How are you, Harley?”

It was a male voice that asked. The woman facing him closed her eyes as if concentrating on her mind, but she woke up after a while. She eventually spoke. “I’m locked in my inn, but I can’t see through my familiar’s gaze.”

“So what?”

“I can’t afford to wait any longer. The moment Ye Minjun left the safe, the eyes following him increased. Maybe someone will play like this.”

The woman responded firmly. “Don’t procrastinate, let’s hit it.”

Hit it? Ha Eun-seong’s expression hardened.

“Looking at it, it seems that everyone is just paying attention and not willing to step out. So now is your chance.”

Many dragons had witnessed the disappearance of the private safe, but they couldn’t confirm what Minjun had retrieved. The prudent dragons thought it wouldn’t be too late to move after checking that. However, not all dragons were so cautious. That was the case with the men and women who are talking here now. Halis Naim, a dragon polymorphed into an elf woman, spoke. “The moment you step out of the dorm, you’ll be snatched right away with a teleport.”

Halis Naim had a good knack for designing plex spells for her age. She was confident enough to abduct her prey and erase her tracks from the gaze of other observers. She made the decision based on the assumption that there were no ancient dragons among those seeking an unknown inheritance.

It was because this game where the direct heirs fight each other was too small for Goryong to lose face and intervene. However, if the place where the alien was abducted and moved was too close, there was a risk that other petitors would soon catch up. Therefore, it was better for her to travel a fairly long distance, but her magical power was not up to that level. She was also a little concerned when she heard that the aliens had single-handedly captured Edeline.

So, Halis Naim joined her hand with her half-brother Bogor. As Ha Eun-seong already noticed, he who polymorphed into a male troll was also a dragon. “I will create the spell, so you just need to add magic power.”

Bogor then asked in a somewhat slurred tone. “By the way… can we not find the real culprit who killed Rod? Halis Naim snorted her signature snort. “You idiot, I already explained it to you!”

“I don’t understand.” Bogor was close to borderline intellectual disability by Balaur standards. Balaur, who regarded anything that did not meet desirable standards as something abnormal or shameful, considered low intelligence as a deformity.

In addition to this, deformed dragons could not take off the hatchling label no matter how old they were. In the case of Bogor, it was a bit close. His mother contemplated for a long time whether to recognize Bogor as an adult and eventually allowed him to bee independent. Thanks to this, he was able to enjoy a free life instead of being confined to the rare for the rest of his life. However, there were many dragons who wanted to use him.

Here, like Halis Naim. “Why, do you want dragon hearts too? Don’t be greedy for that.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at – “ ”

“Why can’t I be greedy? If I had it… I would be stronger.”

She sighed. “Think about it.”

At first glance, it was a story that seemed unrelated. “The Council District Representative positions have recently been refilled. It was left vacant for a long time.”

Bogor nodded in response. “By the way, the ancient race that was dispatched was the princess of Endelion? That’s why the old dragons turned upside down.”

“···Okay?” Even if they were not princesses, no dragon would be willing to see a tentacle monster, and most of the elder dragons invited responded that meeting them was unpleasant.

“It was to the point where people said that carbide was better. Those earthworms won’t even be in the same place with the dragons, so they won’t even invite you, right?”

Carbite was famous for its extreme dragon allergy. At the end of the war, the dragons in danger suppressed their pride and made biochemical weapons infused with dragon blood. “Anyway, from what I’ve heard… some of the elder dragons suspect that she was deeply involved in recent events on Earth.”

“What… Incident?”

“Originally, the agenda we would be meeting in Hong Kong! The illegal immigrant dragon case, the attempted smuggling of related evidence, the Changcheon case, and even the mutant dragon case.”

Hiding in the ceiling, Ha Eun-seong’s eyes widened at the story that far exceeded his expectations. He knew that the tentacle-shaped floating islands that had recently appeared in Hong Kong were aliens. By the way… was that monster related to the Changcheon Incident?

“A race known for its hatred of primates, sending a princess to a dimension infested with primates. I wonder if there is a dark ulterior motive? The timing is too exquisite to dismiss it as a coincidence.”

At this, Halis Naim shrugged. “There’s no way Rod couldn’t think of something that other elder dragons could do.”

“But Lord left the body to its tentacles.”

“Maybe it was done on purpose?”

“…Why?”

“From here on, opinions diverge. My guess is this. Come on, think about it. Is something that can be entrusted to the enemy without hesitation… is it really a treasure?”

Halis Naim could guess that the secret was hidden in Lord’s body, or more specifically, in the dragon heart. Up to this point, Jenkinson’s opinion was similar. However, if one were to dig into the specifics, the texture itself proved to be pletely different. “Lord must have done something to Dragon Heart before he died. It’s strange that he asked me to wait for 99 days. I think after that amount of time something changes in Dragonheart. Could that heart be… a kind of ticking time bomb?”

“Bomb?!”

“I don’t believe in Endelion’s oath. The princess must have already taken the heart from the corpse. I don’t even know if it’s an actual bomb in the first place.”

“···Ugh!”

“Rod thought the Council was going to kill him, and he planned to avenge himself with his body.”

It was speculation mixed with speculation. The young dragons also regarded Endelion’s oath as a covenant that could be broken. For greater profit and power, even dragons could be broken, so what was the promise of other races? “Lord thought it was better to harm the Council than leave a legacy for his children. It’s a very strange dragon to be obsessed with the world after its own death.”

Harlis Naim, who said that, found that he couldn’t find any sorrow at the loss of a father. “Anyway, give up on Dragon Heart. That’s not something we’re going to touch. Instead, let’s focus on stealing the Lord’s legacy that Ye Minjun has.”

She spoke once more. “In the first place, why did that old man give birth to so many children? I can’t even get a dragon heart, but if I divide the remaining wealth into 17 equal parts, there’s nothing to eat and die for. Not even dragons that aren’t directly descended from it, as well as spraying crumbs to all sorts of trashy races… I don’t like it from start to finish.”

From there, the two dragons prepared to move. The destination was where Minjun was. Bogor said, “Can’t we just kill it and take it away? Do I really have to kidnap her?”

“I can’t!”

The dragons knew he was a prisoner. If he was killed or mutilated to such an extent that he was unable to carry out his long-term mission, he would be wanted for destruction of property.

Meanwhile, Ha Eun-seong, who had been hiding, gave up the search any further. He had to go right back to Minjun’s quarters and inform him of this situation, much like when he informed the inn of Kentius’ intrusion. He thought to himself as he sped across the sky. ‘Anyway, what dragons are… Wow, I hate them!’

They were already not enough to be called billionaires, and they were expected to inherit a legacy beyond that. The rich people who enjoyed such affluence would even go so far as to try hard to take away even something that Ye Minjun had back in their hands. Where did that endless greed spring from?

Feeling his hatred for dragons deepening, Ha Eun-seong reached the residence in an instant.

***

“Hmm, yeah?”

Minjun listened to Eunseong’s explanation before he nodded. “I thought they would e out one by one.”

Ha Eun-seong, still dressed as a penguin and with a dagger stuck in his neck, spoke with a worried look. = Agent, what should I do? Besides the two I saw, there are many dragons watching from all sides. Even though I haven’t found all the heads the agent said yet. =

Said agent spoke in a dry voice. “What can I do? There is only one way.”

=Are you going to catch and kill them all?=

He knew that Minjun had ‘participated’ in killing Changcheon. However, at that time, another ancient dragon was with them.

= Are you going to call President Jenkinson? =

At this, Minjun shook his head. “The man is busy right now. And what if I catch and kill all the young dragons because of this? Too bad.”

=······?!=

“That’s like splitting the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs. Originally, even when fishing, the young are released back into the sea.”

Ha Eun-seong was confused by Minjun’s mixed words of past and present selves. What? Such a waste? Golden eggs… Goose? And, fishing?

It was only then that Minjun realized his mistake and corrected it. “I mean it this way. If you kill a dragon carelessly, the cleanup bees very troublesome.”

Just as dragons couldn’t kill Minjun carelessly, so did Min-jun. = Then, what should I do? If you keep going like this, several guys will follow you and bee annoyed. It would be better to cut the buds beforehand. =

However, he didn’t have to do the process himself. Minjun thought of a way without even needing to touch the individual. “Just because the right player has rolled into his hands.”
