Chapter 772: Yong-haeng-ho-bo (3)
Lobby of the Black Dragon Palace, after using the Messageless Pigeon item to Yoon Yeorang.
While I waited for her, I prepared for the three ascended dragons request.
More time passed than I expected. I should hurry.
The ascended dragons told me to go straight to the Black Dragon palace.
They thought the place would be safe since the traitors couldnt exert much strength there.
Of the five palaces, the Black Dragon Palaces color changed the least.
Shaman Byeoks color appeared on the walls but wasnt very prominent.
If the Black Dragon Palaces color is least affected, would that mean that the White Dragon Palace is the opposite?
After all, its quite easy to dye white with some other color.
The shamans stayed at the White Dragon Palace because thats where they can exert most power.
As I was thinking about the situation in each palace, useless thoughts also came to mind.
Before parting ways with the three dragons, they tried to give me something in return for doing them a favor.
But since the three of them are superior beings, its difficult to gift me something since intervening in the mortal world isnt something they can easily do.
When I tried to decline for that reason, the three dragons said something weird.
[Do you want to have the Black Dragon Palace? Its black, just like your energy waves. Lets give the benefactor a dragon palace.]
Hwangryong and Yong Jegun tried to give me a pillar, but Heukryong wanted to give me a whole building.
He talked about the gold and silver treasures, as well as items hidden in the Black Dragon Palace.
I dont know what to do with that information though.
Seeing that Heukryong is speaking lightly, it could be that hes just in a mood wave, but I shouldnt be swept away by it for no reason.
Contrary to the excited Heukruong, Jeokryong said something.
[You must not know what the benefactors other alias is.]
A different alias?
From the way he said it, I dont think hes referring to Nameless Supernova.
I had a hunch that Jeokryong would say something I wouldnt like.
And my foreboding became a reality.
[The benefactor is also called the Red Wall Thief. The word red is in his alias, so wouldnt it be right for the benefactor to take the Red Dragon Palace?]
Even a superior being knows that word.
Is it because my identity spread among the Dragon Clan?
I felt my whole body curl up at the impact of that word that came carelessly from a superior being.
Jeokryong and Heukryong began to use it in conversation from then on.
If they really want to regard me as a benefactor, they should really stop using that word.
I was grateful that Baekryong stayed quiet at least.
Baekryong watched the two and asked me quietly.
[How about the White Dragon Palace?]
Baekryong seems to want to give me a palace too.
Its not something that I wish to have, but I cant phrase it as if I dont like it.
After all, the symbolic color of my last playable character, Baekho-gun, is white!
In the end, I said that it was difficult to answer because Hwangryong is in charge of managing the Dragon Palace in the mortal world.
[Considering what were asking of you, Hwangryong would want to give up his palace too. Dont worry.]
Jeokryongs words made me even more worried.
[Good luck! And be careful!]
[Were leaving it up to you, benefactor.]
With Heukryong and Baekryongs greetings, the Destiny Skill was deactivated.
The Dragon Palace was greatly changed after meeting the three dragons, but the path to the Black Dragon Palace wasnt difficult.
Although they were restructured much differently, I knew that the Black Dragon Palace was still up north.
I wouldve wandered more if I had to go somewhere other than the Black Dragon Palace, but thats where I wanted to go anyway. It worked out well.
My hands ached a little from the cold air of the Black Dragon Palace, but I was at ease knowing that sudden attacks from the shamans were less likely.
When I got ready, someone tapped the window on the side of the road that connects to the Blue Dragon Palace.
It was Yoon Yeorang.
Im here!
Shush, dont be too loud.
Right, there was an enemy near the Blue Dragon Palace.
The other two candidates whispered while Yoon Yeorang greeted me energetically.
Still, in a loud voice, Yoon Yeorang spoke again.
I think itll be fine here. The Black Dragon Palaces color didnt change that much.
Yoon Yeorang opened the window and came into the palace, followed by the two candidates who helped each other.
She ran towards me and quipped as if she had a lot of questions about the situation.
She mustve activated an intuition skill as her eyes were filled with energy waves.
Her expression became serious, and Yoon Yeorang also felt a great danger as her complexion darkened.
I dont know what youre trying to do with the ascended dragons power, but before that, the Dragon Palaces boundary will be destroyed.
I dont think we should stay like this! But I think its dangerous everywhere outside.
Yoon Yeorangs words were similar to her last lines in PMH just before her death.
She avoided being assassinated several times with her outstanding ability to evade crisis, but she eventually died.
This is because the shamans made brutal moves that were difficult to avoid that Yoon Yeorang couldnt escape even if she knew it.
The shamans must be doing something to threaten the Dragon Palaces boundary.
Do they think that they can survive with God Imoogis power no matter what happens to the Dragon Palace?
But this is still okay.
I took into consideration the possibility of the palaces boundary being attacked.
I didnt know exactly the intention and how they were doing it, but I prepared a countermeasure because I knew what they were after.
You dont have to worry about the boundary.
When I spoke firmly, Yoon Yeorang looked a little relieved.
I trusted my plan and explained the request made by Jeokryong, Heukryong, and Baekryong.
***
Between the Yellow Dragon Palace and the Blue Dragon Palace.
Jeokho was carrying Cheongryong with him.
Jeokho found Kim Shinrok standing with Nwiho among the black ashes.
Son! Youre safe!
Just in time, the shamans retreated their power and the Water Mirror lost its shape.
Kim Shinrok took his eyes off it and looked at Jeokho, relieved that he was safe.
He tried to calmly say that he was okay, but contrary to his will, Nwiho ran toward Jeokho.
Nwiho, who ran with an afterimage of lightning, groaned while peering to see if Jeokho was hurt.
The latter felt proud.
You must have a good relationship with your father.
Hwangryong said so, and Kim Shinrok felt as if his face was burning.
In the meantime, as if bragging about his strength, Nwiho looked alternately at the Bear clan minions and Jeokho.
Jeokho immediately understood and gave praises.
There mustve been a lot of them judging from the ashes. I cant believe you knocked them down at once! It hasnt been long since you figured out this power. You are really excellent.
Jeokho stroked Nwiho emotionally, and Cheongryong almost fell.
Cheongryong asked Jeokho to drop him since he managed to recover his strength while on the move, but he still staggered to stand on his own.
You missed it, Jeokho.
Thats what Im saying. But more importantly, look around here. If I hadnt lost time cleaning up those garbage tiger traps in the Blue Dragon Palace, I couldve seen my sons performance.
As if he was dissatisfied with wasting time fighting while on the move, Jeokho spoke in a half-complaining-half-bragging tone.
Then
An ominous energy spread throughout the Dragon Palace.
With the Yellow Dragon Palace at the center, cracks began to form in the boundary between the deep sea and the Dragon Palace.
Jiik, jiiiik!
The shamans were attacking the boundary.
Hwangryong couldnt take his eyes off the threat posed to the Dragon Palace which he had been protecting for years.
Hwangryong lamented sadly while staring at the boundary.
Theyre going this far?
His voice made Kim Shinrok feel sad at the same time.
He wanted to do something for Hwangryong, but there was nothing he could do because the energy wave link and Nwiho were effective because of him.
Still, he wasnt discouraged.
Jo Euishin had a lot of plans set in place.
I cant believe that Jo Euishin thought of that.
Hwangryong also knew about it.
He stared in Jeokhos direction.
Behind him, to be exact.
The time has come to ask the unnoticed guest a favor.
Among the people of the Tiger Clan who visited the Dragon Palace, the unnoticed guest spoke for the first time.
You can lift the fog, Jeokho.
With that, Jeokho complied.
As the red fog dispersed, a teenage boy in the form of Hwangho appeared. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse NovelMultiverse dot com
