I Married the Dragon I Killed

“At this point, the Extermination Squad should have already arrived.”

A nameless rural village.

Helus was in a good mood.

Inside a luxurious mansion that contrasted with its surroundings, a man smiled in satisfaction.

Bastards with whom it was better to pay a little and get rid of them than to try to face them.

Having connections with that kind of people was a blessing.

He knew well what kind of people that squad was.

He had maintained neutrality only because of the risk of his identity being discovered.

‘By the way, will that Perda Valdrova know what that girl is?’

“If I recover that girl, it will be better to side with the Empire.”

If that girl were kidnapped again, it would be a disaster.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

If they returned her without problems, it meant they did not know what she was for.

There was no way to discover the girl’s identity.

For her, the rules were absolute.

She only obeyed the words of Helus Povidas, so she was nothing more than an idiot incapable of understanding anything.

He slightly lifted the curtain and looked outside.

At that moment, a carriage stopped.

He opened a bottle of whisky and poured it into a crystal glass.

‘Huff… everything will go well.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Helus ran out barefoot to receive him.

It was someone very welcome.

‘Sir Karl!’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Welcome! galaxy Sir Karl!”

“……”

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to come so late. attic How did the mission go?”

“……”

“Why aren’t you saying anything? abstract Since you’re here, let’s have a drink. armor And the girl?”

“Get in? crystal Ah… yes, of course.”

“Get in.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Helus got into the carriage.

Karl got in as well and closed the door.

Inside, the luxurious cabin was completely empty.

“……Move.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sir Karl, where are we going?”

Helus opened his eyes in surprise.

The carriage began to move.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Answer me! matrix Are you kidnapping me?”

Helus shouted angrily.

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Karl, who had been sitting silently, let out a sigh.

But Karl remained silent.

“So it’s going to be like this? antenna Do whatever you want! voyage Know that I will never return to the Empire!”

“……Ha.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Smack!

He raised his head and also his hand.

His hand, thick like a club, struck hard.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up, you filthy pig.”

“Ah!”

“W-what does this mean, Sir Karl?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t you understand the situation? arena All of this is because of that girl you told me to bring!”

Smack!

“What does it mean?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what do I care!”

“The girl? acoustic You said you would use her as a pretext—”

Smack!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Am here because of that shit, damn it!”

Smack!

“I!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Anyway, thanks to the portrait of that girl, you can’t back out now, so behave and come.”

It was just violence to vent, but it was enough to silence Helus.

His mouth was wrecked and blood ran from his nose.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

He slumped against the backrest.

Damn it, why am I doing this?

Karl sighed while looking at the sky.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Because he was not a sage.

Helus, completely docile, was dragged along without resistance.

Doubts piled up in his mind, but he decided to ignore them.

He had no way to escape this situation.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

The destination was the audience hall of an old castle.

His body was lifted like a sack and taken somewhere.

After moving aimlessly, the carriage stopped.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you know who I am?”

Helus was seeing him for the first time.

A red carpet ran across the floor and on the walls hung banners with the emblem of a red dragon.

Beneath them, a young man with an still youthful face stood.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“That was informal.”

“P-Perda Valdrova…”

But the situation and the aura he emitted made his lips move on their own.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Didn’t they say he was an 18-year-old regent?

In front of him, it felt as if he were facing a giant.

But he had nothing to do with what he had heard.

“T-the regent Valdrova… it is an honor.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

At his side was a girl he had seen before.

The source of knowledge he had sought so much.

His young servant.

Although he had challenged Karl, with Perda he did not even dare.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

When she was unkempt, he had not noticed.

But now, well dressed, she looked like a noble.

‘Was she this beautiful?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sage of water? matrix No… I am nothing more than an old man locked in his room, a simple Magic Walker.”

“You are not as stupid as I thought. voyage You are more intelligent than I believed.”

“Are you the sage of water?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did your servant die?”

Perda spoke with genuine admiration.

“…Yes.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is nothing to forgive. antique The sin is of this fool.”

“What sin?”

“……”

“Of course. beacon No one can forgive having something valuable taken from them. athlete Not even I am easy to forgive, right?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Helus forced himself to say what he did not want to.

“I used that girl to pretend that I was a sage. anchor That is my sin.”

Helus lowered his head.

“You say you sinned, but you do not know which. accent I do not like lies.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

He surrendered with total respect.

“Please… spare my life.”

But in Perda’s eyes there was no interest at all.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have lived pretending to be a sage, but you are intelligent. athlete So you surely understand this.”

It was as if he did not care whether he lived or died.

Perda whispered near his ear.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Those who taste power cannot forget it. atlas That is why power struggles are the dirtiest. echo How much power have you tasted?”

“Do you think you can leave here alive?”

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“N-no, I can’t—”

“You are respected in your village, even the Empire desires you. arch Will you be able to leave that behind?”

“No. anxiety If I let you go, you will seek power again. meadow Not because you are stupid, but because you are human.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

His entire body trembled.

Ah I am going to die here.

Sweat fell like rain.

“That is why I will make you a proposal that you cannot refuse.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

A light appeared.

All the fear disappeared.

Helus raised his head.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“What… do you mean?”

Perda took out an object and placed it on the ground.

“Don’t you want to live as a sage?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

He tapped the sphere lightly.

“It is a communication sphere. abandon It contains the essence of the eternal ice of the northern mountains. armor It is superior to those of the Empire. portal No one will be able to intercept it or track it.”

It was a crystal sphere.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda gently touched the girl’s shoulder.

“Morida…?”

“That is this girl’s name.”

“What is connected here is Morida’s mind.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

That name now belonged to her.

He was offering him the same life he had always desired.

“You desire her knowledge, don’t you? artist Then live as a sage. beacon You can enjoy yourself at night and give false teachings during the day.”

She reacted.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Sweet rewards always have a deadly price.

“Your soul.”

“What must I give in return?”

But he could not accept it so easily.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Become my dog.”

Helus hated dealing with people.

Everything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

But there was something he hated even more.

Losing his reputation.

Because sooner or later they would discover his lie.

Losing his money.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

To lose power was to lose everything.

Perda was right.

He already longed for the power he had tasted.

All of that was sustained by power.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

He was already a dog of power.

That is why Helus bowed his head again.

And he would do anything for it.

Even make a pact with a demon.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

***

Echidna’s laboratory was in the deepest part.

Perda went down to the basement of the castle.

“I will become your loyal dog.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Welcome, regent!”

Upon opening the door, an unsettling atmosphere typical of a witch came out like a dark mist.

The difference was that there was no smell of herbs or boiling cauldrons, only the smell of ink and stone dust.

Echidna greeted him with a silly smile, running toward him like a big dog greeting its owner.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, of course it turned out well! audit I perfectly put on the dog collar you told me! voyage Ehehe, at first when you said a big dog with silver armor I didn’t understand, but I never thought it would be a knight!”

The difference was that even Perda shuddered at the dark aura emanating from her.

Echidna laughed like a fool.

“How did the contract turn out?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

In fact, when he asked her for a collar to tie up a dog with armor, she brought an actual dog collar.

“Where is the contract?”

Since then, Perda stopped using metaphors when speaking to her.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Echidna took out the stored document and showed it to him.

“H-here it is!”

“Do you understand what this says?”

Perda looked it over briefly and asked.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

When it came to contract magic, the best were demons and witches.

But there were always exceptions.

“Hehe… there’s a lot written, but I don’t understand any of it at all.”

Echidna scratched her head in embarrassment.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Since that was difficult, she created an unprecedented learning golem…’

From the beginning, Echidna had not been able to get a boyfriend because she did not know how to draft complex clauses or inescapable procedures.

She chose a more difficult path because the simple one was complicated for her, but that path ended up being the right one.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside his mind was the universal library.

Although Echidna executed the contract, the one who drafted its contents was Mori.

Even now, it was absurd to think about.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Thus he obtained two dogs.

Perda ordered him to base it on that, and Mori managed to draft it in three hours.

‘The real dog collar is complete.’

There were also copies of contracts written by demons there.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“How is the golem manufacturing going?”

Perda, satisfied, placed the contract on Echidna’s desk.

One infiltrated in the Empire and another surprisingly intelligent and stupid at the same time.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

The golem assisting her could barely react when seeing Echidna’s face.

“Well… there’s still quite a bit left…”

If there was any visible progress, it was that its face had gone from being a crude drawing to something more defined.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re not getting distracted just sculpting the face, are you?”

Perda observed it in silence and askedl

It was still unclear, but it was definitely starting to resemble Zed Swallow.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Her nervousness made her suspicious, but Perda did not press her.

“N-no! orbit Of course not! anxiety I only touch the appearance when I can’t think of anything else!”

‘Compressing formulas into runes is a difficult process, and she is capable of doing it.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

It was not something that yielded immediate results, so he did not criticize her.

“Yes, understood. arch But, regent…”

As he was about to leave, she stopped him.

“Keep up the good work.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

“You… have already reached the third circle, right? athlete Your aura is stronger than before.”

“What is it?”

“Then… don’t you want to try to find your affinity?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Finding affinity.

Echidna took a crystal stone from the desk and showed it to him.

He had not heard that in a long time.

“You mean discovering my attributes?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Third circle, Magic Walker.

“Now that you are third circle, you should also define your magical path. advance All mages do it.”

From that point on, magic becomes real, allowing control and transformation of elements.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Normally, it was something trivial.

For those who had the Blue Circle, it only indicated a slight inclination.

Perda had already done it before.

At that point, one begins to search for affinity.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

But for those with the Red Circle, it was different.

“Let’s try.”

Their mana, based on emotions, was everything.

“Then I’ll prepare it!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

A rune was created.

Mana flowed, forming a magic circle that was then compressed and took shape.

Echidna moved her fingers in the air and recited a spell.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

She inserted the rune into the stone.

She truly was a rune creator.

Something that would normally take a month, she did it instantly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Here you go.”

Perda took the stone.

“Thank you.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Two attributes born from hatred.

He knew how to use it.

‘Before, it was darkness and electricity…’

If his mana reacted, a color and shape would appear inside the crystal.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

The combination of both made his magic unstoppable.

‘Now it will be different.’

Electricity, speed and penetration.

Darkness had great destructive power.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

His mentality had changed.

Surely his attributes would have changed as well.

Perda observed as his mana reacted.

As proof, his power could now restrain Valdrova.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

Fire would show flames.

Water, blue droplets.

Inside the crystal, a reaction occurred.

But what appeared was not that.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

The crystal turned completely black.

For Perda, it was something familiar.

A black that seemed to devour everything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wow, you also have electricity.”

And within it, small blue sparks.

‘Darkness…’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 32: I will make a Proposal published by TrungTu Reads.

The inside of the crystal was even darker than before.

‘Was it this dark…?’

Or rather.

It had not changed.
