chapter 466
466 – First meal in a cold land
“Huh, huh… ! Haaa… … .”
A girl is lying unconscious in the middle of a snowy field, immersed up to her ankles.
The girl’s identity is from the Whirlwind clan.
Sylvian continues to breathe lightly.
At the same time, a hazy breath rises.
“ Off… … . Haha, haha… … !”
Sylvian’s breathing was much harsher than that of the snowstorm raging nearby. Just by looking at her, her face was completely stained with pain.
ㅡSparring… … !
The snow piled up around me melts in real time. That’s how hot Sylvian’s body was like a fireball.
It was an unexpected situation that no one expected. I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
“Sylvian! Come to your senses! Why are you doing this all of a sudden-?!”
I immediately shook his shoulder.
But Sylvian remained silent.
I closed my eyes and only let out hot breath.
“Please come out for a moment and see… ! “Derke should try first aid!”
“Derke, you gave first aid…” … ?”
ㅡKuuuk… … !
Derke, running after him, raises his hand and suddenly places his hand on Sylvian’s forehead. To be precise, he was applying force to the air above his forehead.
As if something invisible was weighing down.
ㅡTuuk… !
And not long after, Derke’s palm and Sylvian’s forehead touch.
“Whoaaap… ! “It’s okay, it’s okay-!!!”
“You really put Sylvian’s soul back in?”
“yes! That’s right!”
“this… ! It was more serious than you thought, right? Sylvian! Come to your senses! Why are you doing this all of a sudden-?!”
He is currently in my arms in human form. As soon as I arrived, I collapsed helplessly, probably from exhaustion.
It’s probably because I overexerted myself all day.
This might be my first time flying for this long.
Moreover, since half of the dragon hearts had been handed over to me, it was inevitable that my stamina consumption would have been greater than usual.
“Ha, ha… How… … .”
Sweat flows from Sylvian’s entire body.
As if I had caught a very bad cold.
I hugged him and shook him, but
There was no reply from Sylvian.
Even though Derke put her half-extended soul back in, consciousness did not easily return.
“Ahhh… ! It’s cold… … .”
He’s still breathing hotly and just making a painful expression. Instead of answering, he only groans and groans in pain.
This seems more serious than it looks.
If things continue like this, it’s sure to get worse.
It seems urgent to take follow-up action before something really serious happens.
“Derke-?! Quickly guide me inside! “If it continues like this, it might get into even bigger trouble!”
“Ahh..! Okay-! Death dragon following Derke!”
ㅡPop! Pout… … !
At my urging, Derke runs away, leaving footprints in the pure white snow. Toward the majestic castle built in front of you.
“… Sylvian? Be patient! “I’ll let you rest well in a warm place in no time!”
“… … .”
After that, I immediately followed Derke’s footsteps.
“Everyone there! Derke is back! So, let’s open the door quickly!”
“Nyorong-!?”
「Nyorolong… … ?!
When Derke shouts in front of the huge gate, dozens of ghosts jump out in surprise from inside the mansion.
“Can’t you hear what I’m saying?! Hurry and open the door… … !!!”
The ghosts looked at Derke’s face and turned their white eyes into yellow eyes. He looked like he was asking why he came back already.
They are probably the ghosts who were managing the mansion while Derke was away. So, they are probably ghosts who have served the clan of death since the past.
“… One o’clock is urgent! Let’s quickly open the door and prepare the guest room! Hurry up! quickly!!!”
*
The inside of the mansion was much larger than it looked from the outside.
At first glance, I thought I had entered some kind of dungeon. Anyone who was not familiar with the internal structure would easily get lost.
There was a red carpet on the floor,
There was warm tone wallpaper on the wall.
The whole thing had an old-fashioned feel.
Perhaps it was a palace where the royal family of a once prosperous kingdom lived. The interior rooms were also well decorated with antique furniture.
-Help… !
“… I lit the stove, so it will get warm soon! Sylvian oppa’s condition is a bit like death… !?”
-Track! widely… !
Derke, who has lit the stove, turns his head with a worried expression.
To be precise, he was casting his gaze towards Sylvian who was lying on the bed in the living room.
“I think my condition is better than before. It seems like there’s still a long way to go before the fever goes away… … . Anyway, you worked hard, Derke.”
We quickly laid Sylvian down in an empty room.
It was clean, even though it came all of a sudden.
The room was pretty well maintained.
There was no one living there,
For some reason, a sense of life remained.
I thought it would be empty since Derke had been away, but it seems like dozens of ghosts were taking care of the mansion every day. That must be why it was able to stay so clean.
After taking a breather, I slowly looked around and it felt more like an old-fashioned hotel than an old castle.
“Whoa… … .”
“hmm? Are you feeling any better?”
Sylvian’s breathing gradually became more stable.
The pained expression also improved.
However, the body temperature was still as hot as a fireball.
ㅡSnap! Squeak… … !
When I wring out the wet towel that had been placed on Sylvian’s forehead, lukewarm water flows out. It was a towel soaked in cold ice water… … .
“Whew, there’s no way it’s going to get better this quickly… … .”
“Oppa Sylvian… … . A very bad death dragon… … ?”
“well… … . But Derke? “I’m just asking out of curiosity, do dragons sometimes get body aches or colds?”
“Umm… ! That’s not it! Derke hasn’t lived that long, but Deathyong has never had a cold or body aches until he was 201 years old… !”
“Isn’t that right? Well, what kind of cold does the dragon have… … .”
It doesn’t seem like it’s just a cold either.
‘wait… … . So, does that mean there is nothing but the aftereffects of handing out Dragon Hearts? If that’s the case, maybe I can help you recover?’
I muttered to myself and stretched out my hand toward Sylvian’s forehead.
To change the wet towel,
To improve his condition.
I thought I would get better if I just rested,
It seemed that further action was needed.
ㅡUgh… !
I placed the wet towel on Sylvian’s head and concentrated my energy on the palm and the solar plexus area. To activate the power of the dragon heart within my body.
With this power, not only a simple cold but also other negative things can be cured at once… … .
ㅡuuu… … !
Soon, a flash of light flashes from my fingertips.
Soft light conveys warmth.
It was like that. This is the power of the Dawn Clan that purifies everything.
Looking at this gentle halo of light… … . For some reason, I miss Sophia.
‘I’m sure Sophia has arrived safely at the Academy by now, right?’
Suddenly, I am curious about her news.
“Huh… … ?”
“huh? Sylvian?”
For several minutes, I was exposed to the light containing the power of purification.
The response comes quickly. Sylvian’s expression, which had been frowning due to a headache, changed to a more relaxed expression.
And it wasn’t just this.
“Whoa… ? Sylvian brother? “A death that brings you to your senses-?”
“Hmm..? Where am I… … ?”
Sylvian comes to his senses and opens his eyes.
The light of dawn must have been effective.
As expected, this is the ability of an SSR level healer.
I should have done this a long time ago… … .
Anyway, I’m glad.
I quickly regained my senses.
“… Huh! Poetry, poetry? W.. where am I… … ?!”
Sylvian looks at Derke’s and mine’s faces in turn, looking startled. Like someone who unintentionally fell asleep and woke up.
He looked like he had no idea why he was lying here.
“Are you finally coming to your senses? Was it difficult to fly such a long distance?”
“Ah… ? The beginning? Did we arrive safely?”
“Yes, thanks to you we were able to arrive safely. So now, rest in peace. “It will take some time to fully recover.”
“Death-yong, who took a deep breath and woke up!”
“Thank you… … . everyone… … .”
Uncharacteristically, I understand quickly.
I guess it really took a toll on my body.
If it were a normal Sylvian, he would have said he was fine and tried to get up right away… … .
It must have been difficult to even pretend to be okay.
“Anyway, why did you suddenly collapse?”
“Actually… I wasn’t feeling well as soon as I entered the north. This is my first long-distance flight… … .”
“Ugh, then you should have told me earlier. “It’s about having one more break.”
“I couldn’t bear it because we were almost there. I thought it was possible… … .”
“Well, anyway, you had a hard time. I think my fever has gone down… … . “Is there anything else you need?”
“hmm… ! “I don’t think there is anything in particular.”
The guy who answers with a strong voice to reassure me.
Although he said that he didn’t need anything in particular, his face looked like it needed constant care and attention.
“Really?”
“Yes… ! So, put aside my worries for a moment and start from the beginning—”
ㅡRurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“… … ?”
As soon as Sylvian opens his mouth again, the loud alarm sound of the belly button replaces his answer.
“… “Are you hungry?”
“uuux? Well, that’s… … !”
“Honestly, if I don’t tell you, I’ll just give you the bread and beef jerky I ate earlier?”
“Yes, that’s right. Actually, I’m so hungry… … .”
Yes, this is how it should be like Sylvian.
I feel like the tension is relieved by his growling sound.
Anyway, what should I make in this cold and unfamiliar place? … ?
