I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

336 – Resolving Misunderstandings

“… Speaking of your face, what happened all of a sudden? How can you become so young?”

“Ah… ?”

I am speechless at Riley’s question.

He didn’t expect that at all.

So much so that her promise to answer anything became meaningless.

If it was a question you could answer,

I would have let you know right away without hesitation.

But what Riley is asking now is a question that not even I know about.

“Huh? Man, why are you like this… ? “You said you would answer anything?”

“Raylee? That’s right… This is…”

Honestly, I don’t know how to answer.

I couldn’t even come up with something plausible.

But I couldn’t answer that I didn’t know.

After all, who would believe you if you answered that you were not aware of the changes that had occurred in you? Of course he would look strange to Rayleigh.

Although I have glimpsed parts of the breeder’s past several times, I have yet to see any memories related to his sudden youthful appearance.

All I know now is that I maintained my middle-aged appearance in the past through makeup.

‘Instead of making unnecessary fuss, wouldn’t it be better to just say that I don’t remember? I don’t feel comfortable because I feel like I’m raising suspicions again…’

“Hey man… ? Are you listening to me?”

“Huh? Oh, of course!”

“Why are you so hesitant? “Is this something uncomfortable to talk about?”

“Hey Rayleigh? Actually, that’s it—”

That was the moment when I was about to open my mouth to confess that I couldn’t remember.

ㅡFlash!

“… ?!”

It feels like a flash of light passes through my mind. Suddenly, a strange feeling comes over me, as if time and space have stopped.

A feeling that is difficult to express in words.

A feeling of déjà vu makes me dizzy.

To be precise, it felt like things I had forgotten suddenly came to mind?

At Rayleigh’s urging, memories of the past that had been completely forgotten suddenly began to creep up. These are memories of the past of the breeder that have nothing to do with me being possessed in modern times.

‘It was like that when I answered Rayleigh earlier, but this can’t be real… ?’

At first it was just a guess,

I can’t believe I felt it not once, but twice.

This may be because as time passes, the breeder’s past memories and my original consciousness are becoming assimilated.

*

I maintained my middle-aged appearance until 500 years ago.

Impressive with a bushy gray beard,

A middle-aged man who looks ordinary on the outside.

The face his appeared to be approximately 40 to 50 years old.

To put it bluntly, that was my original appearance, and according to nature, I should have maintained that appearance until now.

To be precise, the older you get, the older you become.

Rejuvenation was virtually impossible.

They say dragons can become polymorphs.

I am human after all.

No matter how many dragon hearts were accumulated, it was impossible to change the appearance. Instead, thanks to the greatly increased lifespan, aging has been slowed down significantly.

In the end, I had no choice but to grow older.

As expected, a lot of time has passed.

About 30,000 years have passed since what descendants call the era of beginning.

‘When I think about it again, it was an incredibly long time…’

The reason why I was able to survive so well during those eons was obvious. Thanks to the dragon hearts handed over to me by my old friends and the dragon pact I made with them.

He had already accepted one dragon heart as a pledge of love before, but since then, he had to receive not one, not two, but a whopping five additional hearts.

And that too by force into the hands of friends.

It was something I never wanted,

I had no choice due to my friends’ earnest requests.

Well, thanks to that, the aging of the body slowed down, and for 30,000 years, all he did was look like he was in his 40s or 50s.

He was approximately twenty-five when he was forcibly handed over the Dragon Heart. So, over the course of 30,000 years, the body only aged by about 30 years.

‘… But 500 years ago, when Detronos broke out of the seal, everything became distorted, right?’

It’s still a mystery how he woke up from the seal, but the pact he made with his old friends was also broken.

And after that I…

Of course, I had to pay the price.

All the power of the dragon heart accumulated in the body was sealed away.

In an instant, I returned to the body of an ordinary human.

That means you can no longer use Dragon Heart’s abilities. Moreover, although it was natural, there was also a change in appearance.

At first, I thought I was aging quickly as the power of the Dragon Heart dissipated, but the opposite was true.

‘I feel it now, but this is how I am now… ‘ … In fact, I might have to say it was a good thing.’

Surprisingly, he went back to the age he was when he first accepted the Dragon Heart.

And that wasn’t the only change that happened to me.

ㅡTiring!

[ As the demonic dragon was released from its seal, the dragon’s pact was in danger of collapsing.]

At that time, a transparent window that I had never seen before appeared before my eyes. It was something that had never been seen in 30,000 years.

Surprisingly, there was a meaningful phrase written there. It is also a letter written in an ancient idiom.

ㅡTiring… !!!

It rang loudly in my ears and continued to create new sentences before my eyes.

[As a penalty, the Dragon Heart’s abilities are recovered.]

[Hurry up and meet the conditions of the oath again!]

[Until then, the lifespan will remain the same, but a time limit will be granted.]

[If you fail to keep the Demon Dragon’s seal or oath within the time limit…]

[ To replace you Agent Explore.]

‘Deputy… ?!’

*

“… Cough!”

“Oh, uncle? Okay, why are you doing this all of a sudden… ?!”

ㅡFull!

When Rayleigh asks a question about his appearance, the breeder, who was hesitant to answer, suddenly collapses.

“I.. I’m fine, Rayleigh.”

“A person like that suddenly collapses… !?”

“I was just a little dizzy because all the memories came flooding back to me…”

The breeder was panting heavily while being supported by Rayleigh. He frowns and endures a headache.

This was because the breeder’s body and the new spirit within it were assimilated, and some of his past memories were revived.

“Bah, idiot..! If you can’t remember, why bother to do something when you can just say you don’t remember… !”

“But thanks to you, my memories came back a little bit. How did you become younger? …”

“Is that really true, mister?!”

He nods with bitter eyes.

Then slowly move your lips.

To tell Rayleigh what happened in the past.

“Okay. When the demon dragon was released from the seal, the covenant he made with his old friends was broken. Because of that, he returned to the body he had when he made the pact. A state in which one cannot grow old or die until the conditions of the oath are met again…”

“Well, that can’t be…” ” ” … ?”

“That’s why I went to visit the Lightning clan. To fulfill the conditions of the covenant I made with my friends again.”

“So, is that why you deliberately disguised yourself and became my teacher?”

“That’s right. I believed that they were a clan that had the power to seal the demon dragon on my behalf. Above all, it was the only clan whose head was still alive at that time. But as you well know, your father was Already dying of illness, right?”

“So that’s why you chose me…” ” … In many ways, the conditions wouldn’t have been bad…”

“Yes, it was like that at first. Moreover, all of the Dragon Hearts had been sealed at that time, so there was no other way to prove that I was a breeder. So I dressed up as my old self again…”

“Well.. I had no idea there was such a story…”

…

The atmosphere becomes more calm due to the series of serious stories.

The breeder was thinking about the past and clearing his head, and Rayleigh was just looking at the breeder with a pitiful expression.

“Anyway, I’m sorry for lying to you all this time, Rayleigh.”

“Mister?”

“But my feelings when I taught you back then were sincere. I thought I would want to have a strong and beautiful child like you by my side for the rest of my life…”

“That’s true… ?”

“Huh. I’m serious. “I swear with all the dragon hearts in my body.”

ㅡaahhh… !

After hearing the whole truth, Rayleigh silently hugs the breeder.

And then he gently patted his back

It’s okay now, so don’t worry about it anymore.

In response, the breeder just hugged her tighter without saying a word.

“…”

This washes away all the misunderstandings and emotions that have accumulated over a long period of time.

‘I never thought the day would come when you would lean on me. And with such a youthful appearance…’

Rayleigh slowly examines the breeder’s face up close and scolds him.

‘When I was young, I fell in love with my uncle’s dependent appearance… Even looking like this… I’m not bad. You’re more handsome than anything… ?’

Rayleigh blushes as she stares at the breeder in her arms.

In the past, if you had the image of a strong protector,

Now I somehow felt like a sweet lover.

The way he speaks has suddenly changed to become more like his peers. .

Above all, it felt different because of her beautiful appearance that made her look like she was her own age.

“Raylee? For a moment…”

“Huh, mister?”

ㅡSrurruk… !

Just then, the breeder regains his strength and stands up.

“… Are you feeling better now?”

“Thanks to you, I’ve improved a lot. Anyway, that’s it… Rayleigh?”

“Huh?”

“Thanks to you, a lot of her memories she has come back, but they have not come back yet. So…”

ㅡSseuugh…

The breeder looks closely at Rayleigh and trails off.

“… If it’s okay with you, won’t you come back with me? “I need you too, Rayleigh.”

His black eyes His look at Rayleigh with sincerity

And did her breeder’s sincerity finally reach her?

“Huh… ! Of course! “This is a request from someone who promised to marry me, so you’re saying that?!”

“Raylee?”

“Uncle, Rayleigh will take responsibility for this lightning from now on, so don’t worry!”

ㅡTiring!

[The target’s affinity level increases!]
