I Married the Dragon I Killed

Even so, Hestia Village continued concentrating on construction work as always.

An icy cold capable of freezing everything swept through the surroundings.

Hanson, who had worked since the earliest stages of the village’s construction, rose from foreman to supervisor.

Winter.

Among the commoner technicians who managed the foremen, he could be said to be the one who had prospered the most.

“What do you mean fixed portions? altitude That meat over there looks bigger! academy Are others going to eat more than me? aluminum Is that what you call a portion?”

“Meat is only distributed in fixed portions.”

“Hey, give me more meat! alpha How am I supposed to find strength eating this miserably?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Hanson left the distribution table with a satisfied smile.

After a long argument, he managed to obtain an enormous piece of meat.

“Ah, Supervisor, now that you’re an important person, you should buy ham and hand it out yourself. abandon The food distribution is already troublesome enough.”

“If I buy things like that, when am I ever going to save money!? artist Just give me more of that meat.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well now. alpha Even as a supervisor, you still eat in a place like this?”

“As if I have time to sit around eating with the big shots! adopt While they laze around, the rest of us do all the work!”

He sat down in a place moderately far from the bonfire.

“Supervisor Hanson! atomic Come over here! admire I saved you a spot!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Hanson shrugged.

“How would I know? amber Even if he suddenly disappears, I’m not surprised anymore. airport Besides, he doesn’t even eat. crystal Let’s just eat peacefully.”

Soon after, one of the foremen approached while nervously looking around.

“And where did that knight fellow go?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course we’re eating. arena What’s wrong? avalanche Is your wife chasing you around?”

“It’s something similar to a woman. anchor I don’t want to run into her. atom Here, hurry.”

“Are you eating?”

He pulled something hidden inside his clothes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Weren’t they saying there were supply issues?”

“Oooh! apple Where did that come from?”

It was ham.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then you should’ve brought a bigger one.”

Instead of scolding him, the others hurried to treat him like a hero.

The man proudly boasted about stealing.

“So what? zenith I discreetly stole it from those southern guys.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mine’s dirty. canvas Use yours.”

“This was the biggest one.”

“Mine’s dirty too. echo Better give me yours.”

“Wow, it really is huge. absorb I was just thinking the distributed meat wasn’t filling enough. wizard This will really put some fat on our stomachs. antenna Take out a knife.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

While they argued over whose knife to use.

“Then use yours and disinfect it yourself.”

“Doesn’t it get disinfected if you hold it over the fire?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“There comes that bastard! amateur Hide it quickly!”

“Gentlemen.”

Upon hearing the young man’s voice, the men moved immediately.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

It was William.

As if nothing had happened, they calmly resumed serving themselves stew.

The young man who approached wore half armor, a sword at his waist, and an armband that read “Guard Captain.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Me neither. portal Could it be that bastard desert god turned into a ghost and stole it?”

“The people who came from Hallim say part of their food supplies disappeared. arch Do you know anything about that?”

The guard captain, whose voice already carried stiffness and seriousness, asked,

“I wouldn’t know. attic And you?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he saw an abnormally large bulge in one man’s crotch.

“Take out whatever you’re hiding there.”

The man slowly scanned the area with his gaze.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s just naturally big down there.”

“Hey! acoustic What do you mean take off my pants while I’m eating?”

“…Please, let’s not make this more uncomfortable for everyone.”

“Because that looks suspicious. agent Take it out quickly.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is clearly theft. abstract Why are you doing things like this?”

William let out a sigh.

With no other choice, he pulled out the ham he had hidden inside his pants.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

But that did not impress the guard captain in the slightest.

The workers shouted that they were even.

“Exactly! abandon If they can do it, why can’t we!”

“They did the same thing! autumn Some of our materials disappeared too, and they denied it!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“I already told you they did it too. antique You’re not going to throw us in jail over something like this, right?”

“Consider it sufficient revenge to return something that was rubbing against someone’s crotch. august But next time I will act according to the law.”

“I have the duty to maintain order in this village. antique Please stop doing things that will end up causing fights.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh really? atlas Yours must smell worse if you haven’t bathed in a week!”

While the workers argued like children, the captain picked up the ham as if it were trash and left.

“That doesn’t sound so bad either. adapt Your crotch must smell strong.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it. atomic That refugee showed up and immediately succeeded.”

The men watched him walk away while commenting among themselves.

“Where did that guy even come from?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Maybe he brought some noble relic and secretly handed it over to the administrator?”

“How are they going to give such an important position to a refugee?”

“What greed would a Dragon Spawn have to accept something like that?”

“No idea. altitude His name’s William, but they say he’s just some random refugee. portal As soon as he arrived, the administrator ordered him to become guard captain.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if they did not want to admit it, it was true.

He had never done anything unworthy of the guard captain’s armband.

“That’s true.”

“Still, seeing how he acts, he really does seem suitable. wizard He’s so rigid he looks like a real knight.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

All the foremen nodded immediately.

Then someone commented something that opened a new topic.

With the monstrous strength he possessed, it was strange that he remained nothing more than a simple laborer.

“Speaking of that, why don’t they plan to give an important position to our knight lord too?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, that means she’s thinking about it. meadow We just have to wait.”

“I even asked the administrator if they shouldn’t give him an important position, but she only said she was considering it!”

“What is there to think about? amateur She’s probably planning to exploit him and then throw him away! alien That corrupt official has greed even in her eyes.”

“I thought our knight would end up becoming guard captain.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, a Dragon Spawn.”

Those words made everyone feel a chill run down their spines.

“Uh… wasn’t the administrator a dragon?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Hanson lowered his head while muttering.

“…Well, it was just a figure of speech.”

“For people like us it’s the same thing. wizard They’re beings who could split your spine in half if they get angry. accent Is it really okay to talk like that?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“You must be careful around beings with horns on their heads.”

He also valued his life far too much to dare cause trouble.

Among commoners, there had always existed a saying.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is it?”

“Hm?”

Demons, Dragon Spawn, or dragons.

All possessed abilities far superior to those of humans.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

A man in armor, completely out of place at a construction site, entered the area.

“They say when you speak of the tiger, he appears.”

“Isn’t that our knight lord?”

“Knight, over here!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“With that size and height, there’s no way he’s a woman…”

“He runs like a young lady.”

The knight recognized someone and hurried toward them with quick steps.

Hanson waved his hand vigorously to get his attention.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

They assumed it must be some strange knightly habit and paid it no mind.

That his movements seemed feminine was natural.

After all, he was someone capable of lifting eleven logs with his bare hands.

Because the one inside the armor was none other than Valdrova herself.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

She tilted her head with a doubtful expression.

“Ah, Knight. timber Have you eaten yet?”

“Then come rest with us for a while. anchor We were just talking about you.”

She nodded several times.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“I mean, you’ve done so much for this city. antique Doesn’t it bother you that they give you nothing in return?”

“We were saying it’s a shame they haven’t given you an important position after all the merits you’ve earned in building this city.”

Hanson spoke almost breathlessly.

“?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no better power than having an acquaintance occupy an important position.

Hanson wanted him to obtain a knightly position and take advantage of his influence.

Part of him genuinely felt sorry, but deep down he also wanted to profit for himself.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, Valdrova was not even capable of noticing such shallow intentions.

‘The work I do now is already fun enough.’

More than becoming a knight, she wanted to devote herself to building things.

More than anything, Valdrova was satisfied with what she was currently doing.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

When the meal was almost over, someone let out a furious shout.

She preferred staying in a place like this rather than becoming a knight.

Even though she earned little money, she could not hide the satisfaction she felt every time a building was raised.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone’s gazes naturally turned in that direction.

“Goddamn shit…!”

A group of armed men were grabbing hold of a little girl.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Can’t you control your sister properly?! alpha Why the hell are you letting her carry something like that?! anchor Because of you, my clothes got dirty!”

And a slightly older girl, who appeared to be her sister and guardian, was trembling in terror.

“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. avalanche Adventurer. absorb I’ll wash it myself, so please, your clothes….”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-what?”

“Anyone can apologize with words. timber Pay up quickly.”

“S-sorry! abstract I dirtied such expensive clothes…!”

“Can you take those dirty hands off me? shadow Do you know how much this costs? afford Three shillings!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

It was inevitable for her to panic.

“Are you deaf?! harbor I said give me three shillings!”

The girl’s face turned completely pale.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The workers watched while commenting among themselves.

“Wasn’t this place made for adventurers? legend It’s normal they gather here.”

They were barely worried about finding food for the next day, so how could she possibly gather three shillings?

“There are more and more guys like that lately.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

But they also lacked the courage to confront the adventurers directly.

“There are lots of adventurers in the Empire too, but I’ve never seen ones this rude.”

The foremen clicked their tongues while talking behind their backs.

“Because the ones who acted like that got kicked out immediately. palette They only know how to shout and have nothing of value. wizard That’s why they stay stuck in Bronze or Silver.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“And when exactly are you going to gather three shillings like that? silence I’ll die of old age first.”

“I-I’ll pay the money. apron I’m living here, so I’ll save little by little….”

“This big brother knows a quick way to earn three shillings. autumn Want me to teach you?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Those damn bastards…!”

“What…?”

Instinctively, the little girl shrank back after realizing what they were trying to do to her.

A disgusting hand reached toward the girl.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

But someone stood first, a moment before them.

The foremen were about to stand up, unable to tolerate it any longer.

The armored knight.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

And that size made the delinquent adventurers tense up.

She walked step by step toward that place.

Since she wore heavy plate armor, merely standing up was enough to make the foremen freeze.

Even though the armor was smaller than the original, it was still enormous.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“…….”

“D-damn bastard! meadow Do you think I’ll get scared just because you stay silent?!”

“W-who the hell are you?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The thugs trembled, thinking she was about to attack, but the fist opened instead.

Three shillings.

Inside were three silver coins.

Valdrova raised her fist.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“So you’re gonna pay and leave? avalanche Fine, then do it. august Hey, brat, you should be grateful for your luck.”

The thugs, already completely intimidated, tried to regain their composure and said,

She was paying the money in their place.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The child remained tightly clinging to her.

The little girl’s small body fell into Valdrova’s arms.

The thugs who had been threatening them took the money and let go of the little girl as if throwing her away.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“T-thank you for saving us, Mr. atlas Knight.”

Then the little girl’s older sister approached.

Valdrova looked like she did not know what to do, awkwardly hugging the air before lowering her hands.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The hand holding the basket was still trembling in fear.

“We’ll pay the money back somehow… we really will. harbor So please, my sister….”

“…….”

The girl looked on the verge of tears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova silently stared at their backs.

Valdrova returned the little girl to her.

The older sister wiped away her tears while pulling her sister along and running off somewhere.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“…….”

“Why did you give them money? avalanche Those guys needed a good beating!”

Hanson remembered that she was someone capable of carrying eleven logs with her bare hands and lowered his voice.

Hanson tried to complain to her, but Valdrova only looked at him silently.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

When she saw them grabbing that little girl, anger surged through her all at once.

“I suppose, since you’re an adventurer too and must have your reasons, it’d be pointless for someone like me to argue.”

Valdrova also vaguely understood that this had not been the best choice.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If I use my strength, someone will die.’

She clenched her fist and wanted to hit them so hard they would end up crying.

But she could not allow things to end in violence.

Valdrova understood that very well.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I don’t want that.’

That was something she had felt and experienced for dozens, hundreds of years.

Death brings sorrow to someone and fear to others.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

So she simply gave the adventurer the money he wanted.

And just like that, the matter ended.

And right now, the best method was still money.

That was why, if possible, she wanted to resolve situations peacefully.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova was satisfied with that.

She wished all things in the world could be resolved that way.

Without anything else happening.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

“What the hell is that noise?”

Suddenly, a loud alarm bell rang throughout the village.

Clang! canvas Clang! atomic Clang!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The problem was whether it truly was real danger.

But they could tell it signaled danger.

No one knew exactly what that bell meant.

“Sounds like it’s coming from the center of the village.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“M-monsters?”

“Real emergency! accent Everyone unable to fight evacuate immediately inside the buildings! anxiety Monsters are approaching!”

While everyone remained frozen, the head of security came running with his sword drawn.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova remained motionless in the same place.

The foremen immediately began shouting frantically while evacuating people.

“Foremen! adapt Hurry and relay the information to the workers and evacuate them! action This is a real emergency!”

“Oh God! armor The east really is the east!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Monsters….’

“You’re the armored knight, right?”

Her mind seemed to go completely blank.

Now that monsters were approaching, she could not make any decision.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“We need help right now. august If possible, could you fight for this city?”

“…….”

“…….”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Only after hearing William’s plea did Valdrova finally react.

“The guard cannot stop them alone! adapt Everyone is in danger! echo Hestia could collapse if this continues! aluminum Everything could disappear like an illusion! harbor We need your help!”

Since she showed no response, William insisted again.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone was running in terror while hastily carrying their belongings.

As she followed him, she saw the sight of a city plunged into chaos.

She nodded and began following him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Security guards with spears and armor clumsily ran toward William.

The guards raised their spears in the middle of the street.

“Report! anxiety Evacuation is seventy percent complete! airport Shall we continue evacuating?”

“No, that’s enough! aspect Security guards! abandon Form a defensive line in front of me!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

That was why they desperately needed the adventurers’ help.

All of them were soldiers only in name, men without real training.

— Guard Captain.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

— A wolf monster is expected to enter through one of the western alleys. apple Can you send adventurers there?

“Understood!”

Isabella’s voice echoed through magical transmission.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

He spotted a group of familiar adventurers and shouted.

“Gentlemen adventurers! avalanche We need to defend the western alley…! auction W-where are you going?! academy Hurry and join the battle—!”

William quickly looked around.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Didn’t we tell you adventurers would be mobilized in emergencies?!”

“What do I care?! beacon I’m not participating!”

“What? timber Are you insane? silence Do you think I became an adventurer to throw my life away here?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t see anything. palette I saw absolutely nothing.”

They had come dreaming of earning a fortune, but in the face of immediate fear they fled in terror.

Not only did they refuse to help, they also left behind an enormous stain of demoralization.

“Then protect it yourselves if you’re the guard!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

He thought that even if they caused problems, they would at least be useful during critical moments, but not even that.

‘Damn bastards.’

William felt like he was going to explode with rage.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The monstrously strong armored knight.’

If they wanted to properly defend the main avenue, they desperately needed her help.

In the end, he could only rely on the few adventurers with a conscience and the knightly guard.

Right now, she was the only person he could trust.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“?”

“Sir Knight.”

William made a decision.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“They say they need manpower in the western alley. atomic A monster is going to enter there, and we need to stop it.”

“Can you handle it alone? meadow If you think it won’t be possible, I’ll pull out four men to support you—.”

“…….”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Then she began walking away without saying anything.

It was a clear sign that she did not need support and that they had to manage on their own.

Valdrova interrupted his words.

Toward the east.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

That was how she ended up covering the missing spot.

Ah.

“S-sir Knight. harbor It’s not that way….”

The west was the other direction.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

— Grrrraaaah!

It burst out from the forest and entered the village.

Soon after, the cause of that piercing alarm finally appeared.

Although the main forces weakened considerably, William had no other choice.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Three of them appeared on the main avenue.

William raised his sword and shouted.

Fifteen wolf monsters, each twice as large as a normal wolf.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The men moved little by little.

Who could proudly advance toward death?
At least for those poorly trained soldiers, it was impossible.

Death stood before them.

“Hold your spears steady! timber Advance one step forward!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

Their instincts knew it.

The wolves savored the fear of those inexperienced soldiers.

If they broke the line just a little more, everything would collapse.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

The soldiers panicked at the creature advancing without fear.

— Grrr!

One of the wolf monsters charged straight through the spears.

“A-ah! canvas Don’t come! anchor I said don’t come!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

A red sword violently struck the wolf monster’s head.

Just when he thought he was about to be devoured—

“A-aaah!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

He lifted the fallen guard and shouted.

Its head shattered, the monster staggered backward.

— Kyaeng!

The one who had delivered that deadly blow was none other than William.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 99: Responsibility published by TrungTu Reads.

“Get up! altitude Hold your spear steady! academy If you want to live, brace your spear properly and lower your center of gravity! armor You only need to hinder their movements!”

The sound of the plate armor rang out like a steel bell.

William struck his own chest.
