Chapter 107
Celine couldn’t hide her excitement.
‘Lou…!’
The dragon in Count Sharpe’s story was clearly a grown Lou who flew through the ceiling of the underground maze.
Of course, it was a very good thing, but she couldn’t help but think about seeing Lou again sometimes. The books she saw at the library said that grown dragons usually live leisurely their entire lives. It didn’t alleviate her worry.
“It looks like you have something in mind.”
“Yes.”
Leonhard nodded his head.
“What kind of dragon was it?”
“I received a report that it was a beautiful golden dragon.”
“…As expected, it’s Lou.”
“Lou.”
Celine briefly explained how they found Lou and how it got away. Naturally, the most important facts were hidden.
Count Sharpe looked very surprised.
“But, Lute Celine’s dragon… Wasn’t it small? Does a dragon grow so fast?”
“I found that fascinating, too. The book said that dragons generally awaken only after spending hundreds of years by the humans’ side.”
Because of that, Celine even thought that it might not be a dragon, in fact, but rather one of the system elements that disappeared with the collapse of the game. However, Count Sharpe delivered news that it was completely wrong.
“It wasn’t an ordinary dragon, after all.”
As Count Sharpe sighed, Leonhard answered with a serious face.
“Celine is no ordinary wizard either. I think that might be related, too.”
“….”
Celine’s face turned a little red.
She knew that Leonhard’s words indicated that she came from another world. Nonetheless, if someone else who did not know the context heard it, it was just an incomprehensible compliment.
“Who doesn’t know that?”
Count Sharpe smiled mischievously.
“She is the one who saved the castle from the warlocks.”
“…I was lucky.”
Sharpe was talking about the giant gears that were emitting toxic smoke.
Wizards belonging to the Imperial Family diligently studied the remaining accessories and concluded that it was a device hidden in the Imperial Palace by warlocks long ago. Of course, Celine, who stopped the gears, was treated as a hero of the empire.
Leonhard hastily interrupted her.
“Seeing as you’re here, it seems like you want us to go to the South and solve the problem ourselves.”
Count Sharpe nodded hastily.
“I’m just glad you noticed and told me in advance. If you just solve it, I’ll give you enough reward.”
Her voice showed her confidence that she could pay any amount of high-end magic stones as long as it would stop the dragon.
“And if it was really Lute Celine’s dragon… It won’t be a bad thing for Lute either.”
Celine nodded. After all, if Lou was left like that, not only would the County Sharpe be in trouble, but Lou would be in danger.
“I want to go to the South.”
“I’m warning you, it’s going to be hot.”
“Leonhard, I’m a wizard. The heat is no problem.”
Count Sharpe suddenly intervened in their conversation.
“It’s true that it’s hot, but… As Lute Celine said, the weather is of no use when it meets magic. If Lord Leonhard needs it, I will send a wizard from my family.”
“Thank you for your consideration, but it’s okay.”
The corners of Count Sharpe’s mouth, which was trying to smile, began to tremble slightly. Leonhard handled the situation gracefully.
“Don’t worry. That doesn’t mean I won’t go to the mines. It just means that there is no need to send unnecessary manpower.”
“Understood.”
While Count Sharpe answered plainly, she could not hide her joy. She took out a finely crafted magic stone from her bag.
Celine’s eyes widened.
It was immediately noticeable that it was not an ordinary magic stone. It was a beautiful magic stone crafted precisely for movement magic. The next moment, Count Sharpe carefully handed it to her, but Celine waved her hand and took a step back.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I still have difficulty with movement magic.”
“Is that so?”
Count Sharpe looked very uneasy.
“But it’s too far south from here… It doesn’t matter if you don’t arrive within the castle exactly, so why not give it a try?”
“….”
Celine thought for a moment.
She didn’t have any problems in the end, and she even got better, but she was worried that she would make a big mistake.
‘I think it will be better this time since there won’t be any intervention from the stage.’
However, she was dizzy at the thought that she could drop not only Leonhard and herself but also Count Sharpe, even in the middle of the ocean, far away from the Sharpe family’s castle.
“You seem more worried than you look. It’s okay. Even if it takes a while, you can just take the carriage.”
“N, no.”
Celine shook her head.
Lou was already eating up the magic stones in the mine. If she traveled by carriage, by the time she arrived, the whole situation might have been over. She couldn’t let the Count be away for that long.
“I’d like to give it a try.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on it.”
Count Sharpe grinned.
“The wizard in our family is also quite capable, so if anything happens, they will come find us.”
As she tried to hold on to the magic stone given to her by Count Sharpe, Celine suddenly glanced at Leonhard.
“Is it okay if I go like this?”
“I wrote a letter.”
Leonhard gently lifted a piece of paper.
There was a servant who reported matters to the Grand Duke.
“I think he might support it with open arms. Even so, he would be lamenting that I am not very interested in the territory.”
Feeling her pulse beating, she took a deep breath and focused her entire mind on the magic stone. A huge flow of magic began to swirl in the room.
‘This place…’
When Celine blinked her eyes, a castle she had never seen before caught her eye. When she turned her head, she saw Count Sharpe smiling.
“If you were going to do this well, why were you acting like that?”
“Then, this is…?”
“I’m sad that you don’t recognize it. Yes, welcome to Castle Sharpe.”
She remembered the last time she had stopped by Castle Sharpe.
…A castle swarming with monsters that no one could live in. Even after just a few months, this castle has completely lost all traces of its past.
‘It’s not that bad.’
When she caught monsters here, she thought the decorations, patterns, and wallpaper were a little more extravagant than in the North.
But Celine soon realized that she was completely wrong.
Castle Sharpe was dazzling. It was incomparable to the Baron’s house she stayed in before. Unique flowers decorated the area where the ceiling meets the wall, jewels sparkling everywhere, and even beautiful curtains that completely covered the windows.
There was no place untouched by human hands, so her eyes kept turning.
“Are you a little surprised?”
Count Sharpe asked curiously.
“It must have looked a little different than when you came before…”
“It’s so beautiful.”
Celine could tell that she had given the correct answer. In an instant, Count Sharpe’s face melted like cotton candy.
“It took so much hard work to make it like this… It’s all thanks to Lord Leonhard and Lute.”
“Wasn’t it something that had to be done? I’m just sorry that I found out too late that you were suffering.”
A look of sorrow flashed across Count Sharpe’s face.
“… It’s okay. Because it was something Lord Leonhard could not do.”
Celine quickly changed the topic.
“Is it okay if we leave right away? I want to see Lou quickly.”
“Isn’t it too late? Luckily, the days are long, but it will get dark soon. I think it would be okay to sleep for a day and then leave.”
“Leonhard, are you tired?”
“No.”
Count Sharpe smiled.
“Well, the sooner, the better for us. Please follow me.”
They left for the mine fully armed.
Celine and Leonhard thought there was no need for all that, but Count Sharpe was stubborn. She said that it might be a different dragon than the one Celine raised, so much so that she forced her to wear armor, which was said to block the dragon’s fire.
“If you two get even slightly injured, I will become traitors to the entire empire.”
“I don’t think so…”
Celine smiled vaguely.
What Count Sharpe said was wrong. It was because no one cared about how injured Leonhard and her were.
Still, they didn’t feel bad.
It was nice to know that someone was honestly grateful for the help and was concerned for them. Then, they each got on their horses and rode toward the mine. Count Sharpe explained that the dragon settled in the mine where the most magic stone was mined even before the incident.
“How did you fly all the way here from the capital…”
Count Sharpe sighed heavily.
“Actually, that makes me wonder if it’s still the same dragon.”
“It will be right.”
Leonhard said quietly.
After some time, they arrived at the mine entrance.
Although it was a mine that Celine and Leonhard had never been to before, it was very similar to the mine they entered for the quest. Another thing was that this mine was well maintained from the entrance. Equipment that seemed to have been left behind by miners who ran away after seeing the dragon was scattered here and there.
Count Sharpe frowned.
“I think I should stay here. I really want to go with you, but I don’t think my vassals will allow me.”
“I’ll keep it a secret.”
“It’s okay. Actually… I’m scared, too.”
Count Sharpe looked at her horse.
“I will stay here so I can ride this guy and run if the situation arises.”
If Celine hadn’t read about the power of the dragon in the book, she would have thought Count Sharpe was timid.
However, the power of the grown dragon described in the book was truly terrifying. Since they had been by the humans’ side for hundreds of years and consumed magical power, their abilities were bound to be great. The dragon could destroy a village in an instant if it wanted to.
Leonhard cleared up the situation.
“All right. If you’re tired, you can go back to the castle first.”
Count Sharpe nodded and handed Celine a small pouch.
“I selected and included only the finest items. Use it generously if necessary.”
“Thank, thank you.”
Celine put the pocket into her chest. The highest quality magic stones from the mines of County Sharpe were comparable to those of the boss monster.
Right then, the bodies of all three became stiff.
The howl of a beast came from deep within the mine. A sound that Celine could never forget, very similar to the dragon’s roar she heard in the underground maze. She ran into the mine without Leonhard being able to stop her.
“Celine!”
“It’s Lou!”
Celine was not in a hurry to simply welcome it. There was something terrible about Lou’s cries.
Rather than being evil…
‘Is it injured? Dying?’
She bit her lip.
She wanted to find Lou as soon as possible.
