Book 2: Chapter 200: The trade has been established (6)

He heard a pretty warm voice at that moment.

– Cale. You must be tired.

Cale answered honestly out of reflex after hearing the tone of Sheritt’s voice.

“No ma’am. I’m not that tired since I came back after getting a good rest......”

His voice slowly became quieter.

Sheritt had a mischievous face but it was full of wisdom. There was still a gentle smile on her face.

Honestly speaking, Cale could not pay any attention to her smile right now.

‘Mmm.’

Eruhaben.

The longest living Dragon in Cale’s world... The ancient Dragon who had been rejuvenated and could live another who knows how many more years was extremely angry.

Of course, he was slightly smiling as if to not show that he was angry, but his gaze was vicious.

Shhhhhhhh—–

There was also golden dust fluttering around him.

“Hmm? Goldie gramps! Why are you using your attribute? Is somebody attacking us?! Or did someone come to destroy something?!”

As Raon’s eyes opened wide and he asked in confusion, Eruhaben calmly answered back.

“It looks like I need to go attack something while you go destroy something.”

“Hmm?”

Raon tilted his head.

Cale felt his heart sink.

But why was his reaction like this?

For some odd reason, the corners of his lips were twitching and slowly going up.

“Cale.”

The ancient Dragon called out to Cale at that moment.

“Since you are not tired, you should be fine to chat, right?”

Cale suddenly recalled when he first met Eruhaben.

He had looked exactly like the stereotypical arrogant Dragon.

Cale felt like he could see that appearance overlapping with the current Eruhaben.

Because-

“I think I need to hear about that rude little son of a bitch of a Dragon.”

He was vicious.

Extremely vicious.

“Pfft.”

Cale chuckled.

Rude little son of a bitch of a Dragon.

There should only be one existence he was referring to right now.

Cale was certain that Eruhaben was talking about the head of the Purple Bloods that had taken over Aipotu, the Dragon Lord.

Cale looked around.

Rasheel, Dodori, Mila.

Dodori was still young and not very reliable, but Rasheel and Mila were full of spirit.

Rasheel, who was not hiding his extremely rebellious aura, was extremely annoyed.

“Those fucking Dragons of another world dare to mess with our youngest...”

He was mumbling to himself but Cale did not care to figure out what he was saying.

Mila was patting the concerned Dodori’s shoulder as she quietly stood there.

However, that made it the scariest.

He didn’t know why, but that was how he felt.

‘...Now that I think about it, these Dragons all have extremely strong personalities.’

They were still reliable.

The Dragons of Roan and the Dragons of Aipotu...

Dragons vs Dragons.

Just thinking about that created a vicious image in Cale’s mind but Cale didn’t think that the Dragons in front of him would lose.

“Ahem.”

Cale let out a fake cough before starting to speak.

“I will answer everything you are curious about within the scope of my own knowledge, Eruhaben-nim.”

He then looked at Alberu.

Alberu sighed before responding.

“Let’s go to the Royal Palace.”

They would chat in a place they were all too familiar with now.

* * *

The Central Plains.

The Emperor, who was looking outside not from his Imperial Palace but from Hainan, observed the vast sea underneath the endless sky.

“Did he leave?”

“Yes, your Majesty.”

Chief Eunuch Wi bowed deeply.

“He really did leave quietly.”

“.......”

“They were like a mirage when they came and the same when they left.”

Chief Eunuch Wi did not answer the Emperor and simply stood there with his head still bowed. After his many years of experience in the Imperial Palace, this was not the time to raise his head to look at the Emperor.

“Chief Eunuch Wi.”

“Yes, your Majesty.”

“The martial artists should have realized it as well, right?”

“The leaders of the respective forces seem to have noticed the absence of young master Kim’s people, your Majesty. As for the Heavenly Demon, he seems to have been informed in advance as he had a separate conversation with Noble Warrior Choi Han yesterday.”

“I see.”

The Emperor nodded his head.

“Their absence will soon spread throughout the Central Plains.”

Kim Hae-il was an existence they could not hide even if they tried their best to do so.

Now that he has disappeared, there will be quite a lot of rumors about where he had gone.

Of course, the very few people who knew his secrets will not tell others the truth.

Well, they should at least be smart enough to know that in order to be in their respective positions.

“He is truly an arrogant individual.”

The Emperor let out a quiet chuckle.

He had given the First Emperor’s Clothes, one of the Imperial Palace’s Three Great Treasures, as a reward.

Even if the government and the Martial Arts world worked together, forget the Blood Demon, they would not have even been able to defeat the trap created by the Dragons.

He had saved the Central Plains.

The Emperor had been generous and given a precious item like that because he could not give any position or land as a reward.

‘It felt like he needed it.’

The Emperor believed that Kim Hae-il was not someone who would remain as a human.

That was the reason he gave him the item of the First Emperor, someone who became an immortal.

“What an interesting fellow.”

However, that guy had not been satisfied.

‘Your Majesty.’

‘You look like you want something else as well.’

‘Yes, your Majesty.’

The Emperor recalled that guy’s confident gaze.

‘If I am to make a request in the future, please give me some help. If I don’t make such a request, then there will be no need.’

That punk had so easily said something so arrogant.

“...That person’s name was Cale Henituse, correct?”

“Yes. That is correct, your Majesty.”

The Emperor looked out at the vast sea that was as wide as the endless sky and nonchalantly commented.

“For some reason, I feel like I will see him again soon.”

That was what he was feeling.

The Emperor, whose instincts had allowed him to avoid the former Emperor and survive to become the current ruler, nonchalantly commented.

“Leave the rumors about Kim Hae-il alone.”

“.......”

Chief Eunuch Wi hesitated before commenting.

“...The rumors might become impossible for us to handle, your Majesty.”

The crown prince’s office... Raon, who was in a corner eating cookies, felt the gaze and his eyes opened wide.

Next to Raon was the young monk statue whose face was now extremely skinny.

“We may be able to say with certainty that we will have allies there since we are heading over with the seed of a new World Tree.”

The ancient Dragon saw a smile forming on Cale’s lips before he even finished speaking and nonchalantly commented.

“I’ll be back soon.”

He did not say where he was going.

“Are you heading to see the World Tree, Eruhaben-nim?”

However, Cale easily figured it out.

“Yes. I will look into the stability of these items and learn more about the World Tree’s seed.”

“Yes sir! Please have a safe trip!”

Cale leaned back against the couch once Eruhaben left.

“...Is this your house?”

He turned his head after hearing a grumbling voice to see Alberu looking at him with disbelief.

“It is as relaxing as my own house, your highness.”

“Ha.”

Alberu shook his head in disbelief. He was seated at a desk organizing documents.

He looked back at the documents as he spoke.

“I’ve already set some time with Ahn Roh Man. Just let me know when you are free.”

“Yes, your highness.”

‘Ah.’

Cale suddenly had a thought and asked Alberu.

“Could you please ask Ahn Roh Man if he knows Bluey?”

“Bluey? Is that all I need to ask?”

“Yes, your highness.”

“Alright, I will contact him once I am done with things. Are you heading over to the Henituse territory first?”

Raon stopped eating his cookie.

“Yes, your highness. We will.”

Raon’s wings fluttered at Cale’s answer.

“When are you going?”

Cale responded to Alberu’s question.

“Right now.”

Raon flew up.

“We’re going home!”

He then flew in a figure eight in the air.

“By the way, your highness.”

“...What is it?”

An unexplainable leeriness made Alberu look at Cale who nonchalantly commented.

“Hannah and Clopeh Sekka will soon be visiting the Roan Kingdom.”

“When?”

‘I send them a message on my way to the palace earlier, so probably in a few days?”

The two of them were quite famous people and core individuals of different places, requiring Cale to report to Alberu in advance.

“Do as you please.”

Cale nodded his head at Alberu who responded as if he didn’t care and then asked Raon to cast the teleportation spell.

His group gathered around him.

The Dragons had already left after their discussion. Only Eruhaben had stayed behind to hear some more details.

“Then I will contact you again once I am back home, your highness.”

“Yeah.”

Alberu waved as if he didn’t care.

“Human, should we go?”

An extremely excited Raon looked at Cale.

“Yeah.”

Raon cast the spell as soon as Cale gave permission.

Paaaat!

There was a bright light and Cale returned to the Henituse territory, more specifically the black castle in the Forest of Darkness.

Cale slowly opened his eyes after a moment of darkness.

He saw the entrance of the familiar black castle.

“?”

He then saw it.

“You, why-”

Clopeh Sekka.

That bastard knelt down as soon as he saw Cale and looked at him with a burning gaze.

He then started speaking in a calm voice.

“I’ve been waiting for the moment you called for me, my lord.”

For some odd reason, he could feel a tinge of lunacy underneath the calmness.

Cale looked stupefied.

‘What is going on?’

All that Cale had said in the message was for Clopeh to come because he had something to say to him.

He did not say anything about there potentially being a way to fix his body.

But why was this bastard acting like this?

“Hoohoo.”

Clopeh was laughing weirdly.

‘This bastard really is weird.

No matter what world I visit, nobody is as weird as this bastard.’

– Human, in my opinion, Clopeh is the best.

What did Raon mean by Clopeh being the best?

Cale did not want to ask as he felt as if he already knew the answer.

“Finally, I also have a chance to decorate a page of your legend.”

‘...Should I just leave this bastard as is?’

Cale felt tired already despite just getting home for the first time in a long while.

His eyes felt bleak thinking about how this bastard would react when he learned about the way to fix his body.

‘Will it be okay to take this punk to Aipotu?’

Cale seriously pondered that question.

Author’s Note

Hello, it is Yu Ryeo Han.

Please accept my greeting as we reached chapter 200 of Part 2.

...Part 2... Chapter 200... 2... 200... 2... 2... Two two...I’m sorry.

But this is truly weird!

When I was preparing for Part 2...

‘Fifty chapters per each Hunter household for 250! Give myself some space to tweak things with an extra 50 chapters to finish it all within 300 chapters!’

That was my original plan! I really thought that it would be possible, but...

This is truly mysterious.

We’ve only been through two households, two worlds, and have reached 200 chapters.

In that case, how far Part 2 will go- even I have no idea. Haha!

There are three households left so maybe add 300 chapters and finish within 500 chapters? Haha!

I don’t know either! Hahaha!

Thank you for being with me until here.

You are all giving me such strength. I truly mean that.

I pray that these words can leave a small moment of joy or at least the slightest of pleasures to the readers.

Thank you very much.

– Sincerely, Yu Ryeo Han –
