I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

465 – Upon arrival

“It’s not like that! “I hurriedly packed some to give to my brother earlier!”

“huh? You said you packed it earlier? What… … ?”

Derke grins.

Looking straight into my face.

Like a child preparing a surprise gift.

But this scene… … .

It feels familiar somehow.

It seems like a situation I’ve been through a few times already.

I remember receiving something like this from Derke not long ago.

“Please wait a moment, Death-!”

Derke suddenly spreads his arms and waves them in the air. And then… … .

“ah? Derke, you can’t believe it again… … ?”

“Hehehe-♪”

Translucent spheres suddenly float in the air along with Derke’s innocent laughter. It was a fairly familiar shape to my eyes.

A black ghost the size of a fist… … .

So, the spirits of monsters appear.

That’s a pretty large number.

I don’t know when they all gathered together, but they are indeed from the clan of death.

‘I wonder if someone is a death dragon… … .’

It seemed like he had a habit of collecting souls wandering around the nine heavens, unable to pass them by when he caught them.

“Are you collecting the souls of monsters again?”

“yes-! I only got this because I was passing by quickly earlier…! “You should at least accept this!”

“Foot, yes. thank you. “There is really only you, Derke.”

“Heeheehee-♬ This is no big deal-!”

I never thought we would add more ghosts.

In fact, there are still so many that it is overflowing.

We currently have 86 ghosts.

But what… … . There would be no harm in increasing the number of sincere workers, right?

“Black dragon? White dragon? “If you’re listening, would you please come out and accept a new recruit for me?”

Instead of stretching out my hand, I summoned two of the most senior wraiths. There are two experienced teaching assistants, so there is no need for the instructor to step forward.

“Nyorolong-!”

「Norung? Nyorurung… !!!」

Then, when Baekryong and Heukryong heard that they were new recruits, they came out in a huff as if they had been waiting. It must have been nice to see them, too. As the number of new recruits increased, his rank also increased.

ㅡShuuuk… … !

The black/white dragon quickly flies in front of Derke and absorbs those who are still mere spirits into his body. He opened his mouth wide and sucked them in, as if he were sucking up noodles.

「Nyoroong… ?」

“Nyorurung… … !」

The sight of the black/white dragon after being absorbed like that was extremely cute. His stomach looked as full as if it were cotton candy.

“good. “You can return now.”

『Nonyonyonyot-!』

At my command, it jumps straight into my chest and returns. OK… … .

ㅡTiring!

[You have successfully added the specter to your army.]

[Ghosts that can be incorporated into the Legion in the future: 105 /9999]

[By gathering the army, you can summon up to two martial dragons (it is also possible to gather all the ghosts into one martial dragon)!]

A status window that I haven’t seen in a while comes to mind.

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t remember it.

That there was a skill called corps gathering.

‘Should I have used it when I faced the monsters earlier?’

No. I don’t know if it was a battle that would end in the first place, but I don’t think it was necessary.

The next time I encounter it, I’ll have to seriously consider using it then. Of course, it is best not to fall into a crisis that requires the help of ghosts.

“Derke? I’m sure everything was delivered. “Thank you for your concern even in such an urgent situation.”

“Hehe-♪”

When I stroke Derke’s head, a happy laugh comes out.

Boy, it looks like he was aiming for this from the beginning.

My body has grown a lot compared to before, but

Seeing her like this makes me think that Derke is indeed Derke.

“Now, shall we get moving without further delay?”

“yes-!”

“good night! Everyone, get on board quickly! One o’clock is urgent… … !”

***

After that, the flight continued smoothly.

It sounded easy, but it was actually boring.

Because I spent almost the whole day flying.

Still, I was fortunate that I didn’t encounter any monsters like before. Considering what happened in the morning, I think it would be much better to be boring.

Anyway, we chatted about various topics to relieve our boredom while on the move.

And that’s where I first learned that, unlike Earth, this was a world made up of only one huge land mass called the Drango Continent.

Like the Pangea supercontinent of the Paleozoic Era.

So, excluding small islands like Valkyrie Island, it was a world where only the ocean and the Drango continent existed.

So, even with Sylvian’s fast flight speed, it would have taken more than half a day to cross the continent.

It was such a huge piece of land. Maybe this world itself is bigger than the Earth.

‘It’s so wide that I’m going to get sick of flying… … .’

Anyway, we had a total of two more breaks while crossing this damn Drango continent. It was an unavoidable choice because just riding on its back was hard work.

To replenish Sylvian’s stamina,

To soothe all of us from sleep,

I drank coffee with my meal.

Derke and Sylvian drank coffee for the first time today. Hechling is still young for a dragon race.

Coffee did not suit their tastes.

Because it would only taste as bitter as coal.

In reality, both of them frowned and nodded, saying they couldn’t drink it.

But still, I recommended coffee until the end.

I know this because I have driven long distances in the past, but the moment I started to feel drowsy, there was no answer. Even if it meant putting a lot of sugar in my coffee, I was made to drink it all.

And about three hours had passed since the last break.

ㅡHwiooo… … !

Air currents and temperatures are clearly reversed.

The wind that felt somewhat cool,

At some point, it turned into a fierce and sharp wind.

There’s even a snowstorm.

So bad that it’s difficult to see.

Derke and I knew this would happen, so we put on the outer clothes we had brought during the last break and covered our faces with our robes.

Since my body had awakened the power of the Dragon Heart, I was able to withstand this much cold, but it was a little dizzying not being able to see even an inch in front of me.

“Start, hold on tighter… ! “The air currents are unusual, so you’d better stay alert!”

“Sylvian, are you okay? Maybe it’s cold… … .”

“I am OK! Except that you can’t see clearly because of the snowstorm… … !”

The further north you go, the more severe the snowstorm becomes.

It was definitely a beach city reminiscent of a sunny summer until morning, but as the sun was setting, it felt like we had almost reached the pole.

“Derke? “I guess I should come out now and give you directions, right?”

“Ahh..! “You called for Death-?!”

When I call on Derce’s name,

The guy sticks his head out like a mole.

To be exact, it’s hiding inside my robe, but only its face is visible.

It was like that.

Derke is currently in a younger state.

When a snowstorm hit, it changed its appearance and hid in my arms, saying it was cold.

“Derke? Is there any way to get from here to your house? … . “Can you recognize me?”

“Ah-?! here… ! Death near my house!”

“what? Is that really true?!”

I had no expectations at all… … .

It was truly an unexpected answer.

That was because the sun had almost set, so the surroundings were dark, and the snowstorm continued to blow, making it difficult to see ahead.

“huh-! It’s been a while since I smelled like my mom… … . No, it smells like home!”

“It’s the smell… ? Ah, anyway, can you tell Sylvian where to go from here?”

“huh-! Sylvian brother? Just move as Derke tells you!”

“Okay, girl! “I will fly as low as possible, so please give me a detailed explanation!”

*

It wasn’t far to Derke’s house.

As expected, Derke’s guidance was accurate.

In a snowstorm where you couldn’t see even an inch ahead, you found your way as accurately as if you had a GPS installed.

“Sniff… ! “At this point, turn left!”

“And then to the right in front of the frozen lake… … !”

“Okay! Now keep it like this! If you keep going straight, you’ll be there!”

Derke continues to move his nose and lead the way. To a place hidden deep at the foot of the mountain.

There really was no Gaeko. How developed is your sense of smell to be able to find your way through smell alone, even in such a cold and dry area?

“oh! house..! “It’s home—!!!”

“Oh? Is that building the residence of the Death Clan? … ?”

A huge fortress can be seen in the distance. After many twists and turns, I somehow arrived through the snowstorm.

I heard it from Derke later,

This blizzard. In fact, it was a barrier like a door lock.

It was a labyrinth-like blizzard to prevent external intrusion.

I understand why the past breeder never encountered the Death Clan again.

“… Deathyong has arrived now!”

Anyway, let’s get out of the blizzard like a barrier,

A magnificent mansion appears.

It was built with crude bricks and looked like an old castle.

‘This building… … . ‘It’s the same as what I saw in Derke’s memories, right?’

A huge mansion for just a mother and daughter to live in.

-Flutter! Flap! Flap!

Sylvian lands lightly in front of him. We flew in the sky all day from morning to evening and finally arrived.

Now it was my turn to move.

“Derke? “Please guide me straight to the place where the sword hilt is said to be my mother’s keepsake!”

“Oh, yes… ! “You’re only following Derke!”

ㅡJump!

Just like that, I jumped to the ground holding Derke from Sylvian’s back.

And that was when he was about to move straight toward the mansion while holding Derke in his arms.

ㅡFull! thud… !

“… hmm?”

Suddenly the ground rumbles loudly.

There was a sound of something huge.

And that too from the side where Sylvian landed.

I turned my head to see something ominous, and what was it?

“Poetry, Sylvian? Are you okay?!”

“Ah-!? Sylvian’s brother’s soul… … !?”

Sylvian was lying in the snow with his eyes closed without saying a word.

It certainly looked fine until we arrived.
