Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 39. Endless Express (8)

Large, luxurious rooms.

Five men were sitting across a large table.

Two wore black uniforms, one purple uniform, and the other two adorned themselves with golden garments.

Seven chairs were provided.

There were five people, so two chairs were empty.

The elderly corps commander, wearing a black uniform, murmured relief.

“… … You’re not coming.”

“A lot of work. Especially these days.”

A middle-aged man in a purple uniform answered.

He was Benjamin Akraptor, the designer of this huge train.

Regimental leader Acutrus shook his head.

“I cannot delay any longer. It’s not just Salomon who has a lot of work, don’t you all know?”

Two men in golden clothes continued to wipe their sweat with fat hands.

“I, the Civic Solidarity, agree.”

“Time is money.”

At their reaction, Benjamin shook his head helplessly and opened his mouth.

“From now on, we will hold the train supreme council.”

Train Supreme Council.

A place where engineers, guardians, leaders of the rich and engineers come together to discuss issues that will decide the fate of trains.

It was actually a meeting of six people.

Because the engineer has always been absent.

Guhyul said in a dry voice.

“You know everything about the agenda. Disposition of the white dragon, Untara.”

Two representatives of the wealthy class immediately opened their mouths.

“Hunting is the opposite. Civil unrest is already at a serious level.”

“There is no need to provoke it. As before, I have withdrawn once, so there is a good chance that I will not come back.”

“Even if not, expect a lot of fighting. The departure of senior forces is too painful a loss at this point.”

Then Quaang! A man entered with a sound.

The train’s chief information officer. It was the Salomon Arcraptor.

The regiment commander frowned.

“I guess you still don’t know manners?”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“I thought the battle was in charge of the guardian, but these days do you do that too?”

The condition of Salomon’s clothing was appalling.

Her uniform, which she usually wore loose, was worn here and there, and some of her pants and wrists were torn.

Salomon replied, spitting out a cigarette with only the filter left on the floor.

“Because the state of affairs is the state of affairs.”

“Ha, let me know. If you had just told me, I would have helped you.”

“It was a battle that took place because of what they asked for. You have a serious face.”

The regiment commander snorted.

“Ask for us? The Guardian asked you for a favor? Isn’t that a request for cooperation?”

“You, not us. You know that one tiger.”

Salomon’s words hardened the colonel’s complexion.

The regimental commander knew the level of Salomon’s strength.

“Did he make you that way? does not make sense… … .”

Guhyul cut off the conversation.

“Let’s talk about that separately. This is the place to talk about the disposal of Untara, the white dragon.”

Salomon buried his back in the chair next to Benjamin and lit a cigarette.

profit.

“Sup. You should. I have no choice.”

Two wealthy representatives immediately tried to protest, but Benjamin Akraptor raised his hand to stop them.

“The reason is?”

“He will go into sleep soon.”

A wealthy representative asked.

“On what basis do you speak? Do you have any evidence?”

There was no way.

It was impossible in terms of time.

Information on the dragon’s active and sleepy periods could only be found out by observing it at least every 100 years.

Whoa.

Salomon answered, puffing out smoke.

“The city where the 3rd Company of the Guardian 1st Battalion stopped by this time was Archimonde.”

“I know. It was the most prosperous metropolis in the vicinity.”

“And Archimonde had a laboratory called Dragonic Lab. Do you know that too?”

The two representatives of the wealthy class could not answer.

It’s a story outside the train, and at the same time a story from several decades ago.

There was no way to know that he did not live nearby.

Salomon took out the material he had brought from his bosom and hit it on the table with a ‘bang!’ hit it

“There have been many rare dragons in the vicinity of Archimonde for generations. There were also many dragon slayers.”

Before the arrival of the Ice Age, the brilliant world had prospered enough to catch and kill dragons.

“As you know, catching dragons was quite a lucrative business for the city. Enough to support at the city level. This is an excerpt from data found in Dragonic Labs. It is the data calculated when the dragon that is in sleep phase will be active.”

Guhyul picked up the material.

“Black dragon Imur, an old dragon class. Planned to be active in 300 years. Black Dragon Kamuruk Jackie Chan class. Scheduled to be active in 150 years. White Dragon Cassell. Hetzling class. Planning to work in 30 years… … .”

“That Cassel is Untara.”

“Ohh.”

The eyes of mercy twinkled.

“That record was written in the year 320 of the Imperial Era, and the Ice Age came in the year 340.”

“It fits pretty well.”

“yes. Exactly 30 years later, we were on the other side of the world, but at about that point, when you enter the area, polyp monsters start appearing.”

The regimental commander’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the data that Guhyul had handed over.

“The activity period of a Hetzling-class white dragon is about 40 years… … .”

“It is now 390 years by the imperial calendar.”

“That’s roughly correct.”

the representative of the rich class asked.

“If you’re going to go to sleep soon, isn’t there even more reason to catch it?”

Salomon laughed at the wealthy representative.

The behavior of saving energy through hunting before entering sleep is common knowledge applied to any animal.

So did the dragon.

To Salomon, that question from the representative of the wealthy class was just a joke about a situation that wasn’t going his way.

“Where else can we find prey like us in this cold land? It went away this time, but it will come back soon.”

the regiment commander asked.

“To put it the other way around, isn’t it a story that if you manage to survive this time, the next time he will be in a sleeper?”

Relief made an impression.

“It’s putting the burden on the next generation.”

Salomon replied.

“That’s true, but you have to think about one more thing.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why didn’t he break the railroad tracks?”

Salomon continued.

“The intelligence of dragons far exceeds that of dolphins. Its combat intelligence is the highest among other monsters. In fact, there are not a few instances of monsters from other regions destroying railroad tracks. But he didn’t.”

“So, is there a reason he didn’t break the railroad tracks?”

“By Nome standards, we were lunchboxes that we returned to regularly.”

Guhyul gnashed his teeth.

Untara has so far dealt only ‘moderate’ damage and retreated.

Rescue blocked it when it moved directly, but it did not stop Wyvern or Drake from attacking and eating the inhabitants of the train.

“Right. The train was the goose that lays golden eggs for him.”

“You could describe it as canned food delivered automatically.”

Hoo-wook.

Salomon continued.

“The railroad hasn’t been broken yet. But the group of dragon monsters he reigns over is the largest ever. If they set their minds and destroy the rails, the train will have to stop right in the middle of ‘The Dragon’s Nest’.”

“Let’s kill him before that?”

“Didn’t you tell me? It’s not a choice. It must be killed.”

The two representatives of the wealthy class were now in a cold sweat.

“Two citizen representatives. Any other objections?”

“Oh no.”

“Then let’s move on to the next item. ‘How’ to catch the white dragon, Untara.”

Silence fell in the meeting at the same time as Salomon’s words.

After a moment of silence, the first to speak was the rescue of the corps commander.

“Unless you are a battalion commander level, you can’t even get the slightest wound. No correcting remarks. The battalion commander is also not enough.”

Among the battalion commanders, the leading defensive battalion commander, who was most often on the front lines, couldn’t even touch his breath.

train designer. Benjamin Arcraptor stroked his chin.

“At least a regimental commander would be needed.”

“Kuhm… … .”

There was silence in the conference room.

Ordinary ranks and armed forces almost followed.

In a peaceful period of desk administration, one could rise to a high position with political power, but on the train, every day is a series of battles.

It was impossible to rise to a position without military force.

The regimental commander spewed the truth out of his mouth.

“Actually, we are everything.”

A representative of the wealthy class expressed concern.

“I agreed with the fact that we had to catch the dragon, but to send out the five highest powers in the train at once to catch one… … .”

Guhyul said resolutely.

“You have one more. top power.”

The three powers that represent trains.

train designer. dragon sword. and an engineer.

Guhyul mentioned the engineer.

“But he… … .”

“that’s right. It’s been a long time since you disappeared from the public. I know there are a lot of rumors about it. But it is alive and active. That’s for sure.”

Otherwise, the train could not have been running so normally.

The representative of the rich class shouted in a fit of panic.

“We can’t even ask for help!”

“I’ll come out if you need me.”

“Such irresponsible… … .”

Now their golden garments were soaked with sweat.

Guhyul yelled out loud.

“Aren’t you guys irresponsible!”

“Heeek?”

The two wealthy representatives were startled by the sudden shout and swallowed their breaths.

“citizen? wealthy? What are you guys better than workers? Aren’t you living an unfairly comfortable life thanks to your parents and relatives? For your safety… … .”

“Stop going there.”

Benjamin Akraptor interrupted the words of mercy.

“Isn’t that the rank we decided on? We need their presence to give hope to the workers.”

“Still, you crossed the line too much. You need to know the subject.”

“I will do this later. Now is the time to focus on Untara.”

Benjamin Akraptor asked the regiment commander.

“Is there anyone who can serve as a combat aid or duty?”

“The 1st Battalion Commander, Crusoe, is exceptional for his secondary magic.”

“Sorry, even the commander of the 1st battalion. No, the 1st battalion commander judges after looking at his skills. Salomon. What about us?”

“My father and I. And there will be a repair foreman.”

“Six in total.”

Salvation drooled.

At least too little.

“Is there anyone else who can help?”

Then Salomon stepped in.

“There are ‘they’.”

“‘those’?”

Ah, that was the name used by the intelligence department.

Salomon, who realized it belatedly, correctly named it.

“player. Commonly referred to as ‘the rat.’”

Mercy made his eyes sparkle.

“Yoon Taeyang and Ran.”

Everyone nodded.

They actually proved that they could do a single serving in the battle against Untara.

He even blocked the dragon’s strongest weapon, Breath.

“And there is one more.”

“Who is it?”

Salomon opened his mouth, looking at the regiment commander.

“White tiger human. parka. The regimental commander himself captured it.”

“… … He is a guy who can carry out the combat abilities of a battalion commander. From what I saw.”

“I just came to see you and you are stronger. If the location hadn’t been for the ‘Monster Capture Room’, I might have lost.”

asked Benjamin in surprise.

“Are you okay?”

“of course. father.”

the regiment commander asked.

“Can you make him cooperate with us?”

“Players have always moved with one goal in mind.”

stokehold.

The most important and secret area of the train where people enter but no people come out.

“Of course, he might reject our offer, so you should give him something to tempt.”

“Anything worth flirting with?”

Salomon smiled and looked at the relief.

“That should be considered by the Guardian. They value things that help in battle, and all of those things are over there, right?”

Guhyul fell into trouble for a while.

Definitely sun and column. In particular, Taeyang seemed to be able to create a significant variable when facing Untara.

It was also true that the risk was too great to challenge hunting with six people.

“It’s a reward you can’t refuse… … .”

On the surface, Taeyang and Ran belonged to the Guardians.

However, as he had met Untara face to face, the possibility of protesting was sufficient.

Because they weren’t serving the Guardians out of a sense of duty.

clap.

Guhyul pulled the sword from my waist.

“Former corps commander. This… … .”

“Are you saying you want to hand over the lightsaber?”

Lightsaber: Type-B.

It looks like an iron sword, but in fact it was a lightsaber made with all kinds of magic and technology added during the time when the ‘world’ was intact.

When mana was injected, photons were activated on the surface of the sword, and in theory, all substances that touched the sword could be dismantled at the molecular level.

However, it took a lot of mana to use the beam, so even Gu Hul himself couldn’t hold it for more than a minute.

“Are you okay?”

The lightsaber was a statement weapon of salvation.

It was also used to cut the breath, and the sword that cut Untara’s wings was also a lightsaber.

Of course, it was a sword that held a lot of meaning for the individual, the guardian, and the people on the train who envied him.

“You have one more bag anyway. I am the only one who can use it.”

“still… … .”

“Hunting Untara is directly related to the existence of mankind. Not worth it.”

said Salomon, crumpling a cigarette with only the filter remaining.

“Then let’s call them right away. Those three.”
