Chapter 762: O-ryong-jaeng-ju (5)

Yellow Dragon Palace, just before midnight.

Kim Shinrok accompanied me on the way to the Yellow Dragon Palace.

Kim Shinrok wasnt interested in the place where the Dragon Palace and the divine world connect, but he came with me because he couldnt send me to the Yellow Dragon Palace alone.

Hwangryong is here, but from knowing the situation, it makes sense.

Even Jeokho said that Kim Shinrok should accompany me.

Its not that the tigers distrust Hwangryong, it's just they dont trust the shamans that have been around him for a long time.

Ive got my hands set for the shamans, but Im running out of time. I dont know how much Hwangryong will implement and pull my plan off. Its safer to always think about the worst.

Some palace shamans naturally tried to follow when we entered the palace, but Hwangryong waved his hand.

I intend to guide the guests myself. You can stand back.

At Hwangryongs words, the palace shamans stopped walking.

They seemed to be looking at us three from beyond the cloth on their face.

Understood. Please call if you need me.

The shaman bowed her head and withdrew.

It was a flawless action, but it bothered me.

I thought shed persist at least twice. She backed down too gently.

Kim Shinro also observed the shaman for a while as if he also took notice of this.

Hwangryong raised his head high and looked at the ceiling when the shaman was out of sight.

Whats wrong?

Were getting closer to that fiery feeling.

After revealing the shamans betrayal to Hwangryong, he began to occasionally look at the ceiling like this.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Each time, he would warn that something ominous was approaching the Dragon Palace.

Its almost time for the shamans to move. Theyll take action on the Lunar New Year.

Wont the shamans try to stop the third test?

Ive been preparing for off-duty service since we came to the palace, but it might be better to stay up and wait today.

Worst case scenario is that something would happen right this moment.

Do you know why the shaman test is held on Lunar New Year?

Hwangryong spoke in a soft voice as if he was trying to relax himself.

I thought a little about Hwangryongs question and answered.

It must have something to do with letting the Dragon King be an audience to the test.

Exactly. The first and second tests were done quickly, but the third test could have some delays.

Is that why we came here at midnight?

Yes. Its easy having a conversation with a smart child.

The reason why the shaman test is held on the Lunar New Year is closely related to the place where we were.

The tests change from time to time, but a meeting between the candidates and the Dragon King is always included.

The third test for this succession ceremony is poetry.

It is to unravel the appreciation of meeting the Dragon King with poetry presented to him personally.

Its easier to connect the Dragon Palace to the divine world on Lunar New Year.

So, close to midnight when the Lunar New Year was just around the corner, Hwangryong guided us here.

Instead of the wide corridor that is usually taken inside the Yellow Dragon Palace, Hwangryong headed to a narrow road that weve never seen before.

Hwangryong spoke in a rather playful tone.

Alright, come here. I will guide you to a place you did not find the last time you came here to explore with that candidate.

You knew?

How can I not know when such a precious guest came to my palace?

Yoon Yeorangs expedition included the Yellow Dragon Palace.

She took the youngest palace shaman and Unryong urgently when Hwangryong left the palace.

I thought Hwangryong didnt notice because he didnt say anything about it.

It seems like he just pretended not to know.

It would be a relief that his dragon senses are returning thanks to my move.

We talked about various things as we walked through the long and narrow corridor.

Hwangryong talked to Kim Shinrok as well.

You two are together often. Did you judge that its dangerous to walk around the Dragon Palace alone?

Jeokhos range of movement was limited, and the dragons had a lot of work to do.

Yong Jegun was with us sometimes, but he had a lot of things he wanted to do so he often went around alone.

Thats why Kim Shinrok and I were together a lot of times.

When Hwangryong summoned an Unryong, the little cloud dragon woke up with blinking eyes.

As he instructed Hwangryong to show me the way, Kim Shinrok resisted.

Im really okay.

Are you going to lie to me? Ill call Yong Jegun or your father if you keep doing that, Jeho-yah.

Why is Hwangryong calling Kim Shinrok by that name?

Kim Shinrok resisted a few times, but the mention of Yong Jegun and his father made him quiet down.

Considering Kim Shinroks mental health, I thought it would be better to go quickly.

Ill be back.

Come back safely.

I headed in with the Unryong who wobbled away, still half-asleep.

The air became heavier as we walked, and the obangsaek decorations became more prominent.

Walking a little further, I saw a door in front of me.

It was a huge double-open door that I saw when we first arrived at the Dragon Palace.

Is this door a boundary?

I was lost in thought.

Considering the power that I felt from it and the situation around me, I thought about what could happen here.

While I pondered and reflected, the clock turned to twelve.

<Skill Destiny activated.>

At midnight, a system notification sound rang as if it had been waiting.

At the same time, the door started to open even though I didnt touch it.

Kugugugu

Clouds flowed through the slowly opening door.

They were in three colors.

This is

I saw a huge dragon through the clouds.

Not just one.

Three blindfolded dragons.

Ive never seen any of them before.

Its not the Dragon King.

Looking at the color of the clouds, I could guess who they were.

Baekryong, Jeokryong, and Heukryong were right in front of me.

***

Just before midnight, someone noticed an extraordinary event around the Dragon Palace.

It was Yoon Yeorang, one of the candidates who stayed at the Dragon Palace.

Yoon Yeorang has always slept well since coming to the palace, but she strangely couldnt fall asleep today.

I hope I can see you tomorrow, Dragon King-nim.

Yoon Yeorang tried to prepare for bed with peaceful thoughts, but she didnt feel good.

She decided to practice using her light skill instead.

And when midnight came, an ominous feeling came to her.

Yoon Yeorang rushed out.

Unnies, are you up? Somethings wrong!

Yoon Yeorang woke the other candidates, and it seemed like the two couldnt sleep well either.

Look!

Yoon Yeorang came out of the door and pointed to the window.

Looking through it, they saw the Dragon Palace changing before their eyes.

The Yellow Dragon Palace turned sulfur in color.

The Blue Dragon Palace turned green.

Black Dragon Palace turned jade.

White Dragon Palace turned purple.

And the Red Dragon Palace where they stayed turned from a deep, dark red to a lighter red.

The five colors that symbolized the dragons changed into the colors of the shamans.

A thought came up in Yoon Yeorangs mind.

Its like the owner of the Dragon Palace has changed! Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse NovelMultiverse dot com
