Chapter 769: The Birth of a Hero? (3)
# The Birth of a Hero? (3)
Cale received the robe from Ron and just put it over his pajamas.
Choi Han, Ron. The two of you stay here.
Cale was currently in critical condition. Choi Han needed to stand guard and Ron needed to remain here in order to continue that act.
Yes, young master-nim.
Ron answered without any complaints, but his face did not look good. He seemed to be concerned about the ancient Dragon.
I understand, Cale-nim.
Choi Han responded a beat later, but Cale could not pay any attention to that right now.
Young master Cale. Hurry!
Lets go right away, Miss Rosalyn.
Ooooooooong-
Rosalyn was already creating a teleportation magic circle.
She seemed to have chosen teleportation over invisibility or flight magic because every second mattered.
Cale moved to the teleportation magic circle Rosalyn just finished as she called for him.
Rosalyn activated the spell right away.
Paat-
The two of them soon disappeared with a bright light and the comment Cale made before he left remained like an afterimage.
Eruhaben-nim will be fine.
His stern voice filled the quiet room.
Ron looked at the spot from where Cale disappeared before nonchalantly commenting.
And what the hell is your problem?
His slowly moving gaze reached Choi Han. Choi Han was not looking at Ron but at the teleportation magic circle that remained.
Tsk.
The moment Ron clicked his tongue
Knock knock knock-
Choi Han moved immediately after hearing the knocks.
His quick movement let Ron know that Choi Han was not thinking about something else. He just did not want to answer and chose to ignore Ron.
His old habits are coming out.
It reminded Ron of when Choi Han used to be a cheeky little punk.
However, a gentle smile soon appeared on his face.
Click.
Choi Han opened the door slightly to see King Zed Crossman's personal Chief of Staff.
Ahem.
The Chief of Staff moved his head to look inside.
Hello, Chief of Staff-nim.
Unfortunately, Ron used clever movements to block his view and closed the bedroom door once he walked out.
Click.
The Chief of Staff looked at the firmly closed door as if he was disappointed but quickly got rid of that look and started speaking.
Do you remember that his Majesty wishes to speak with young master Cale?
King Zed was looking for Cale. But why had he not responded? Did you even tell young master Cale about it?
These things were what the Chief of Staff was basically asking. Ron looked around the hallway.
Only people Alberu allowed were allowed into this City Hall Annex. Of course, they believed that Alberu, Cale, and Mary were in critical conditions.
Alberu was the type to trick his allies first.
People like this Chief of Staff were exceptions to Alberus selection who were still allowed to move about the Annex.
Ron lowered his head at the Chief of Staff's comment.
My apologies, Chief of Staff-nim. The young master-nim is currently not in a state in which he can oblige to his Majestys will.
The Chief of Staff's face stiffened as he cautiously asked.
How bad is it?
Information regarding the patients in this annex was currently top secret. Nobody other than an extremely select few knew about Cales condition.
Ron took a step toward the Chief of Staff and spoke quietly, as if he was whispering in his ear. Of course, it was loud enough for the guards stationed in the hallway to hear.
The young master-nim is currently unable to come outside.
It was obvious. Cale was already outside, so he couldnt come out.
Furthermore, it is difficult to chat with him.
That was right. Cale wasnt here, so chatting with him was difficult unless Ron used a video communication device.
Hoooo Is that so?
The Chief of Staff barely held back a sigh and observed Ron's face. His face showed no signs of lying.
Hmm. Hes not the type to lie about something like this.
Although the Chief of Staff was speaking casually to Ron right now, he was aware of the things Ron had done in Puzzle City. Despite not knowing Rons true identity, he knew that Ron was no ordinary attendant.
I understand. I will inform his Majesty exactly as you told me.
My apologies once again, Chief of Staff-nim.
Not at all.
The Chief of Staff stopped walking and turned back to speak to Ron.
The Chief of Staff was someone who needed to put all their attention on information, power, and politics, but he was also a person with emotions and tact.
I hope that Commander Cale recovers fully very quickly. I have faith that he will.
Thank you very much.
The Chief of Staff smiled at Ron, who thanked him in a more respectful manner than before, and started walking.
Ron entered the bedroom again after seeing the Chief of Staff depart.
Choi Han headed outside the door instead of Ron. It was so that he could stand guard outside. Choi Han heard Ron open the bedroom window and say something at that moment.
Go find out about the Chief of Staff.
The battles against the White Star and his numerous subordinates
I'm sure there might be people who get hurt during battle.
I decided it is better to preserve the artifact for any potential issues.
Using this entire artifact would be giving me an extra life.
But all of you have not even lived the lives you were given.
Eruhaben had refused to use the jar in case any potential allies get injured.
Please open your eyes.
Eruhaben kept his eyes closed despite Cales stern voice. However, he opened his eyes after hearing what Cale said next.
Miss Rosalyn, try picking up the jar.
Cale then continued speaking.
Eruhaben-nim, please take a look.
The ancient Dragon opened his eyes.
The pale Rosalyn was smiling at him. There wasnt even a single drop of water in the jar as she held it.
Mila-nim.
Is it my turn?
The still tired-looking Mila gently received the jar.
It did not fill up with water once again.
Cale reached his hand out.
Eruhaben-nim, do you need to see more?
The jar did not fill with water in his hand either.
I'm sure it will be the same for the others as well. This jar will not fill with water right now no matter which of our friends holds it.
None of them wanted the life force.
Why?
This question was quite a useless question for the ancient Dragon. He could figure out the answer based on how Rosalyn, Mila, the children, and other Dragons outside the door were looking at him.
Eruhaben-nim, there was something I told you back then.
When the ancient Dragon had said that he didnt need the jar
Cale had said the following while putting the jar away.
I presume that the day will come when I give this jar back to you, Eruhaben-nim.
Cale put the jar in Eruhaben's hand.
I'm pretty sure that the jar will be full at that time.
Cale was certain.
Once they captured the White Star Once all of the battles were over Once he knew that everybody had survived
If it was someone who wanted to be with the people he cared for
No matter who it was
I was right, wasnt I?
They would want to live longer.
I feel so shameless.
The jar was filling with water.
There is no shame to this at all. You wish to live longer, don't you? Then live.
Cale, I think that you are going to live a long life too.
Cale ignored the comment from the glutton priestess in his mind.
Cale smiled at Eruhaben, who seemed to be unable to control himself from all sorts of emotions building up inside him, and nonchalantly commented.
You should receive an equivalent bonus if you worked hard. Dont you think so, Eruhaben-nim?
Eruhaben chuckled.
Using this entire artifact would be giving me an extra life.
It reminded him of what he had said.
Please drink it, Eruhaben-nim.
Eruhaben flinched after looking up from the jar and at Cale.
Otherwise, I will force your mouth open and pour it all in there.
Eruhabens jaw dropped.
This punk, that gaze
I'm someone who does what I say, Eruhaben-nim.
Hes serious. Hes very serious.
Cales gaze slightly reminded him of Clopeh Sekka right now.
It was the first time Eruhaben got chills while looking at Cale.

Cale and Clopeh are two sides of the same coin.
