Chapter 319
[Abduction 3. Dream Drinking Bird (2) ]
#A3
“New Continent?”
“okay. The eastern continent far away from the sea. The papers attached here must be items used in that country.”
Nabi Rose nodded. She explained that the paper that looked like it had been dipped into the chamber pot was a type of magic scroll called the ‘Talisman’. Looking closely, I could definitely feel mana seeping out.
“that’s interesting. It’s the first letter I’ve ever seen. Instructor, can you read?”
“I do not know either. It wasn’t long before exchanges with the new continent began. It wasn’t until after the war that we officially started communicating.”
“aha.”
Ronan furrowed his eyebrows at the interesting information. Busy enough with what was going on inland, I really didn’t know anything. While fiddling with the sheet, he snapped his fingers.
“But wait, doesn’t this mean that this bastard went to the New World across the sea?”
“Perhaps. I don’t know where you got this from, but it must have been quite a big deal there. I heard that statues and amulets like this are usually used to block something.”
“The pestilence is just causing nuisance on a global scale.”
Ronan mumbled. I knew that Sheeta’s activity radius would gradually increase as she grew in size, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. he hit the sheet.
“Stop sleeping and wake up.”
I felt like I needed to know the situation. However, Sheeta, who had been hit hard by everything, was still confused and confused. No matter how much I shook and pinched it, it was the same.
‘This is really no joke.’
All over again, the fraudulent nature of everything was acutely felt. It was the first time Sheeta had done this since she drank all the blood from the southern battlefield and got drunk. Ronan sighed and pulled the hilt.
“Eh, it’s my seller.”
It seemed that I had to use a spleen number. Ronan cut off the tip of his finger and let drops of blood flow into Sheeta’s mouth. Before long, Sheeta, who had been licking her lips, opened her eyes.
“Pick-up… Peek-a-ah?”
“Are you a little more conscious now? It’s a good thing.”
Ronan shook his head. Even though he grew in size, his behavior did not change. Sheeta, who was shaking her head like a dog shaking off water, straightened up. Ronan asked as he lifted the statue.
“Where did you get this from? ok?”
“Byeom?”
“Yumma. Just don’t pretend you don’t understand what I’m saying. Did you really go to the new continent?”
“Ppa!”
When Ronan asked, Sheeta quickly flapped her wings. It was a clear sign of positivity. tweet! Five or six more statues similar to the first one protruded from Sheeta’s mouth, which suddenly opened.
“Damn it! Min!”
“ah. Shit.”
Ronan involuntarily spat out curse words. All of the unusual-looking family of statues were attaching pieces of paper that looked like talismans or something.
Did you say that it is usually used to seal a dangerous existence? Sheeta, who had no way of knowing such a fact, was making a triumphant expression with her chest sticking out, as if she had prepared a great gift. After slowly washing his face, Ronan looked back at Butterfly Rose.
“…yes. Instructor.”
“Tell me.”
“If the dog does something wrong, the responsibility lies with the owner, right?”
“yes.”
“Damn it. I didn’t expect my first overseas trip to go like this.”
It seemed to go dark in front of my eyes. If something happened because of Sheeta, I had to take responsibility and deal with it. If you’re really unlucky, it could have turned into an international problem.
I still have a lot of things to do, but I have to go all the way to the new continent. It was in the midst of Ronan’s moaning at the sudden increase in work. A familiar voice came from the door.
“Ah, you are here, Mr. Ronan.”
“ok?”
Ronan turned his head. A man with long hair in a ponytail was standing there. The stringed glasses and the thick books tucked into his side were impressive. Ronan, who looked at the smiling face, raised his eyebrows.
“Are you a Valus?”
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
“It is, but… what the fuck. What the hell happened?”
Ronan laughed. I wondered, but it was the same. It was Balus, a poacher who was his punitive soldier’s motive and whom he had once freed from Caribolo.
Ronan captured him at Baeksuje and recruited him as Baren’s assistant. It was the last time I saw it briefly before the war broke out, but I wondered what the hell happened in the middle. The Balus I haven’t seen in a long time is completely new. No, he had become a full-fledged scholar who transcended such concepts.
“With the support of Professor Baren, I went to study abroad. There are so many things in the world that I don’t know. Thanks to this, I was able to present my thesis at the Royal Society.”
“…That’s good.”
“It’s all thanks to Ronan. Meeting Ronan and Asher while on a scouting mission many years ago was the luckiest thing in my life. Of course, I was scared enough to die at the time.”
Balus laughed. There was no trace of his previous life in his gentle smile. To be vulgar, he was one of the few punitive soldiers, but it seemed that the process of growing up was more important than the origin of a person.
‘Could the rest of the idiots be like this?’
Suddenly, the faces of the bastards I played with during the Punishment Army flashed through my mind. Now that I had graduated, I felt like I could start implementing my plan in earnest.
It was because of them that Ronan was given the title of nobility, which he considered troublesome. If you become a noble, you will have a fiefdom and you can legally hire people to work for you. It was his goal to rehabilitate the punitive soldiers who hadn’t strayed yet.
In fact, some of his classmates were already living in Ronan’s estate, Valture. After being beaten and dragged to their heart’s content, they were cultivating land in the north, which was no different from uncultivated land, day and night. Of course, fair wages for labor were paid honestly.
‘I’ll have to make it a human first and send it to Phileon. Because education is not something I can do.’
It was in the midst of Ronan stroking his chin as he pondered over his future plans. Suddenly, blood flowed from Balus’ eyes and nose. Contemplating, he shrugged his shoulders.
“Huh! Phi Phi?!”
“Pal ha ha ha!”
Just then, a roar of laughter came from behind. Sheeta was flapping her wings and giggling. Ronan, noticing the situation, exclaimed.
“Yumma. Can’t you stop right now?”
It was a prank Sheeta played when she first met Balus. The relationship between the two began when Ronan saved Balus from near-death due to excessive blood loss. Sheeta, downcast, lowered her head.
“Byeom wooung…”
“I bought and lived.”
The blood that flowed from Balus’ face returned to its original place. He let out a sigh of relief when he confirmed that even the blood on his clothes had completely disappeared. Ronan tapped Balus on the shoulder.
“sorry. It’s so playful.”
“Oh no…it’s okay. I’m just surprised that it’s been a while.”
“Good luck then. So what did you come for?”
Ronan asked. It’s been a while since I saw a familiar face, so the story leaked out. Balus, who was adjusting his clothes, clapped his hands.
“ah. I’m here to tell you that Professor Baren is looking for you. You’ve figured out the identity of the sphere.”
“Eh? so quickly?”
****
Ronan went straight back to the office. Nabi Rosé left for class, saying that we would see each other soon. As soon as he opened the door, Baren shouted.
“Oh oh. You are back!”
“Ah, be surprised.”
Baren sat at his desk with an excited expression, waiting for Ronan to return. The tidy desk had become a mess with various documents and lab tools.
Sheeta, whose body was oversized, poked her head into the window and blinked. Baren, who had been scratching Sheeta’s chin, opened his mouth.
“After research, student Ronan was right. More than 90% of the mana components transmitted from the inside of the sphere matched the Dream Bird.”
“What the fuck. Really?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. I tried it, but I didn’t know it would fit. Baren pointed to the sphere on the desk and continued.
“yes. The reason it couldn’t detect mana with the naked eye was because its shell was too thick. I’ve seen many animals, but I’ve never seen anything this thick.”
“Awesome. Then why was the dreambird egg in my pocket?”
“well. To be honest, I have no way of knowing that. Do you not remember the time you acquired the egg?”
“Ummm…so…”
Ronan’s eyebrows narrowed. When I closed my eyes and looked back in time, I thought I might remember something.
The landscape Ronan saw just before his breath ran out was the shores of a dying star. In the bright starry sky, the red sea, and the white sandy beach, he beheaded Abel.
‘okay. I reached out then.’
The memory of dying bleeding was still vivid. In the midst of his receding consciousness, Ronan reached out his hand. Then he grabbed the white sand and the orb lying on it and put it in his pocket.
That’s how it happened. Ronan, who was drooling, opened his eyes.
“I remembered.”
“Oh oh. Fortunately, the. If so, were there any Dream Birds or creatures presumed to be Dream Birds around?”
“no. It’s because the star was destroyed by bald heads.”
“Think carefully. There must have been something in the not-so-distant vicinity.”
“No, because it really wasn’t. The only creature other than that is that bastard of Abel… eh?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. An absurd idea flashed through my mind. no fuck no matter what it is Moving his gaze to the sphere, he opened his mouth.
“Then, are you saying that Abel’s offspring was a dream bird?”
…oh my god.”
Varen froze. The pupils behind the glasses narrowed like dots. Ronan asked back at the much more serious reaction than expected.
“Why don’t you deny it? Do you really think that such a thing is possible?”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. If the leader of Nebula Clazie, who made the world tremble, was a dreamer, he would be criticized if he wrote a novel like that. Baren, who emptied the teacup with trembling hands, opened his mouth.
“It’s not very… nonsensical.”
“yes?”
“I don’t know if you remember. The dream bird changes its appearance infinitely under the influence of something. It is not uncommon for them to take on the appearance of animals other than birds, and there are cases in the literature that have turned into buildings such as palaces or towers. It is unprecedented, but according to the theory, it is not impossible to change into an intelligent body.”
“What is that…no shit really?”
Ronan let out a puzzle. It was hard to deny that the most famous author in this field had said that. Suddenly, the old story that Cain told me flashed through my mind.
‘Come to think of it, then.’
Cain gained the ability to make wishes come true by drinking the blood of the previous giant king. He restored the broken village and saved the country from destruction with this ability, but he could not achieve his wish of reviving the dead.
But Abel was different. He was brought back to life as Cain wished to return his brother. To be precise, he was a younger brother who was never born.
Looking back, he was a weird guy from birth. I thought that maybe it was Abel who really left this egg behind. said Ronan.
“Then what the hell is being born here?”
“well. I really can’t figure this out either. An existence that was born with the founder of Nebula Clazier as its parent… Aha!”
“Surprised fuck. What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Suddenly Baren screamed. He lifted his heavy hips and started rummaging through the study. Before long he returned with a rolled up scroll.
“I got it and forgot about it. Let’s try it out here.”
“What is it?”
“It is a magic that Professor Secret created based on the information that Balus and I gathered. It will be the key to unlocking the secret of the dream bird.”
“Magic…? Secret…?”
A blush appeared on Varen’s face, which had been hardened all along. Hearing Secret’s name, Ronan narrowed his eyes.
“I’m kind of anxious. What exactly is magic?”
“Haha, don’t be surprised. This is…”
Baren deliberately dragged his horse. Somehow, the anxiety was amplified. He turned his head and said while stroking Sheeta’s head.
“It’s a magic that polymorphs animals into people.”
