Episode 216: Dream in the game becomes reality

49. King Gong is a problem solver (5)

[Another intruder.]With Black Dragon's words, the black eagle was bathed in light.

And when the light goes away.

Two new men and women appeared deep in the labyrinth.

"I see a great being."

When one of the new characters, a handsome young man with silver hair, bowed, the dragon did not hide his discomfort.

[You showed up even after confirming that I was there. Is your liver big? Or maybe you don't understand the topic.]It was Adrian and Arcia who appeared against the dragon's will.

Israel was very happy with the appearance of the two people, but he sensed that the situation had gotten worse.

[As expected, I don't feel the need to save him.]The black dragon raised its head, inflated its body as if threatening, and unleashed terrifying magical power that gave you goosebumps.

As if they were going to attack them at any moment.

I don't know the process, but Adrian and Arcia must have come here to look for themselves.

Israel had to feel sorry for them as well as gratitude.

For no reason, even his benefactor ended up in danger.

"Once you make a threat, I will arm myself, but I want you to know that I have no intention of opposing the great being."

The dragon snorted as if laughing.

It seemed as if being armed with four things would make any difference.

However, when Adrian and Arcia changed their weapons as if transforming, the dragon's reaction changed.

[Awesome, equipment made of orichalcon and adamantium. This is not an amount that a human can carry.]"Do you know a dark elf named Blake Russell?"

[Blake? Ah, that sword holder?]"Blake's disciple is the woman next to me."

Just as gangsters who pretend to be strong bring up the names of acquaintances, asking who they know, Adrian also brought up the name of his strongest acquaintance.

But perhaps this was effective, as the dragon's reaction softened.

[okay? That's amazing.]Thanks to this, the complexions of the President of Israel and Marshal Ansen brightened, but for some reason, Adrian and Arcia lowered their posture and took a fighting stance.

[So what do you say? Did you really think that if you mentioned the name of the dark elf, they would forgive you for disturbing their rest?]-Whoop!

At the same time, the dragon swung its tail like a whip.

In terms of the game, it was a kind of average hit, but the energy was so powerful and destructive that Arcia was pushed back for a long time along with Adrian, who was holding her back.

Kwaaaaang!

The massive tail that filled the field of vision made a terrifying noise, as if a bomb had exploded.

If the material of the shield had been mithril rather than adamantium, it would have been damaged.

Fortunately, Arcia, who was holding the adamantium shield, did not seem to be in any major discomfort.

Whether you look at it in terms of mass or size, it was a situation that made no sense.

[It's pretty good.]Israel and Marshal Ansen, who judged that they would soon be crushed if the battle continued like this, hastily retreated.

Although Israel was a wizard of the same level as Adrian, his combat abilities were incomparable.

"huh?"

However, the mood between the dragon and Adrian, who seemed like a proper battle would begin at any moment, changed.

They were talking to each other in voices that could not be heard by Israel, who had retreated far away.

[Ha ha ha ha ha!]Suddenly the dragon burst into laughter.

That wasn't all.

As the giant dragon's body gradually became smaller, he transformed into a man with black hair that reached his waist.

"what?"

"What is going on?"

Israel and Ansen looked at each other and asked, but there was no answer.

So, without noticing, I approached cautiously.

Then… … .

"You are an interesting person."

Isn't the dragon putting its arm around Adrian's shoulder?

"I hope you save those two people."

And when Adrian pointed to Israel and Ansen, the dragon, now a human male, nodded willingly.

"Okay, sure."

There was no need for Mana's oath or anything like that.

The President of Israel and Marshal Ansen, who had saved their lives, were so confused that they felt like they were losing their minds.

In addition, there was one thing I felt… … .

Adrian might be even greater than they thought.

* * *

It was really dangerous.

It wasn't normal for there to be a dragon in the labyrinth, but wasn't the President of Israel wrestling with the dragon?

Fortunately, I was able to get away safely because the dragon in front of me was an oddball, but if it had violent tendencies, it could have ended up in the goal.

Not only Israel, but also me and Arsia.

"See you again then."

"Yes, we will welcome you whenever you visit the principality."

"Haha, yes."

The black dragon, who introduced himself as 'Brangiche', tapped my shoulders as if I were a close friend and then disappeared through teleportation.

Branguich chose a relationship with me instead of this labyrinth, which could be called a villa.

"Dae, what happened?"

Israel ran up and asked.

His doubts were natural.

They couldn't help but be dumbfounded because the dragon that was trying to kill them smiled and walked away without any remorse.

"I overheard a story about that dragon."

"yes?"

"A mermaid said that. "There is a dragon that will do you a favor if you give it a special item."

"Do you mean that dragon?"

"yes."

I never would have thought that the information that Coralheim's 3rd Prince Ieria Nelson shared in order to survive would be so helpful.

I can't believe I met that dragon in a place like this.

"I don't know what I gave you, but it must be such an incredible treasure that the dragon would grant me a favor. "I will make sure to compensate you."

No, that's not necessarily true.

It was definitely something I couldn't get in Rondel, but it was something I could easily get as I can travel back and forth between Earth.

"No, thanks. "You don't have to worry about it."

What I gave the dragon was a watch.

Swiss-made automatic watch.

It was one of the items that I had prepared in advance to hand over if I met a dragon who would grant the favor Ieria had mentioned.

In other words, it means that the prepared item has gone to the owner.

"still… … ."

"It is enough for the President of Israel to lead the Republic well and maintain friendly relations with us."

Israel seemed to think that I had handed over something precious to the dragon and asked it to save them.

But in reality, that is not the case.

'I want you to be my friend.'

'what?'

'Then I will take you to the place where I obtained the item, Master Branguiche.'

Branguiche is an eccentric dragon.

I had no intention of making a wish and saying goodbye to the strongest living being on earth, with whom I might be able to maintain a lasting relationship like Blake.

Dragons are extremely dangerous, but if Blake, Celine, myself, and Arcia form a party, we can easily hunt dragons.

We believed that even if an unexpected situation occurred, we would be able to control it.

"thank you. "Once again, I am indebted to His Majesty Prince Lawrence."

"no. This arrangement is natural. "The President is one of the few people I can call a close friend."

"Haha, I'm glad. "For considering me as a close friend."

I did not bother to correct the misunderstanding by revealing the details to Israel.

As long as he has a debt of gratitude to me, he will always be of help to me.

The dragon and the president have become somewhat calculating close friends.

What can I do? This is my tendency.

"I came here to harass Ricardo Ordain."

"Is that so?"

Israel's frown narrowed in anger when Ricardo's name was mentioned.

If he hadn't kidnapped Israel like this, he wouldn't have been threatened by the dragon.

"Ricardo will be moving the army. "The situation went awry when the president was rescued earlier than expected."

"That's okay. Because I have been thoroughly prepared. "This will be resolved once we return to our place with Marshal Ansen."

Although he was treated like air by the dragon, Marshal Ansen was like the spiritual leader of the Republic military.

"I can help you if you need it."

"no. I've already received enough help. Please leave the rest to me. "If you can't even solve this problem, how can you be considered a leader?"

By the time he was kidnapped, the leader's reputation had already been lost, but in order to make up for his mistake, Israel tried to resolve the matter with his own power.

I nodded that I would do it out of respect for him, but I did not forget to make a suggestion to prepare for any variables.

"But if you need my help at any time, please call me."

"All right. "When times are difficult, I feel embarrassed, but I borrow the help of close friends."

I held Israel's hand as he reached out for a handshake.

* * *

[Prius Republic civil war again?] [President of Israel: With the help of my close friend Prince Adrian Lawrence, I was able to safely escape from the labyrinth with Marshal Ansen. The culprit who kidnapped me and Marshal Ansen was Ricardo Choi, and radical Auror masters such as General Raminus and General Aitrin helped him.] [Ricardo Choi: It seems that the president likes conspiracy theories. We, who run around the field until our feet sweat for the republic, are not idle like the president.] [President of Israel: Isn't his intention clear just by looking at the preparations for war while I was kidnapped? I think that if your mind is awake, you will be able to easily judge right and wrong.]-What, what's going on?

└Well, Fairmont's attitude is like that of a man who sucked the blood of the people.

└Don't be ridiculous, it's clearly a plot by the President of Israel to revert the republic back to feudalism.

-If you have a brain, think properly. What did the President of Israel do so wrong? Is there anything wrong with the policy? Or did you cheat? You just brainwashed people want to believe that.

-You bastards of the old era, you are not needed in the new era.

└You must be the servants of the old era. How difficult life has been because of President Fairmont. Isn't it crazy to forget that and go back to the Fairmont era?

I think it is inevitable that the public's opinions will be divided as long as democracy is adopted, but it is absurd that there are many Ricardo supporters who support Fairmont no matter how much agitation has been done.

It is said that Israel came from a royal family, but wasn't it because of that royal family that the current Republic of Prius became one of the four major powers in the world and the democratic republican system was introduced?

The best time to live was when the royal family held strong, and the descendants of that royal family are Israelites, so supporting Fairmont, who undermined the country through dictatorship, is bound to be difficult to understand with a normal mind.

"Maybe they know it's wrong, too. "Maybe they just don't want to admit that their choice was wrong?"

As I clicked my tongue while reading an online article in the Gongwangseong office, Prime Minister Walker, who sensed my thoughts like a ghost, revealed his thoughts.

"In the end, it's a fight between the rational faction and the emotional faction?"

"You could put it that way."

Even though Prime Minister Walker laughed haha, I just sighed.

In times like this, it seems like there is no other way than manipulating public opinion, but since the President of Israel said he would solve the problem himself, I had to sit by and watch what happened.

"Don't be impressed by complicated articles, but look at good articles. For example, things like this."

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Walker shared an article with me.

[Prince Lawrence, who cares deeply for his people. Saving the President of Israel again.]-Lawrence's ball-shaped dog is cool. Rescue expert.

-Following the saint, now the president of the republic haha.

-If it's something related to a real acquaintance, it seems like he doesn't care about any stigma.

└The last kidnapping of the King's family in Coralheim was real haha.

When I saw the article and the comments attached to it, I burst into laughter.

Also, I didn't forget to press the like button.
