Overgeared

Chapter 1608

The Tower of Wisdom had existed for over a thousand years. It was the only home of the tower members and the last bastion of humanity. It had to be absolutely safe. It was necessary for the barriers to not only be unable to be observed with physical force and magic, but also by mysteries like powers and divinity.

The tower members were especially wary of dragons. Many of the multiple barriers they installed around the tower were responsible for blocking Dragon Words. In the first place, the tower was the target of dragons. There was no means to stop the dragons’ magic and Dragon Words, so they made it so their existence itself couldn’t be established.

Therefore, it was a huge shock. A hatchling was hanging around near the tower? How did a hatchling find the tower? The tower members were quick to detect that the hatchling wasn’t ordinary and were wary. They were mindful of the possibility that an old dragon had used Polymorph. Yet the reality was...

“Heeek!”

“......?”

“Grrruk...”

“......”

It wasn’t enough to crawl around like a bug and scream. In the end, her mouth foamed up and she fainted. Embarrassment crossed the faces of the tower members who were nervous and wary of her. They knew that Grid was hiding a hatchling, but they didn’t know the characteristics of the hatchling, so they couldn’t associate it with Nefelina.

Biban’s confusion was the greatest. “I expected it to be no ordinary hatchling, but this is beyond my imagination. Her madness has reached the peak.”

A hatchling fainted? Even if she was a crazy hatchling, this was firmly crazy. He got goosebumps from the moment he saw the obsidian-like black scales. Biban felt the temperament of the insane dragon from the passed out hatchling in front of him. It was very reasonable and high quality reasoning, even if he thought about it himself.

“We must kill her now.” Biban was drawing his sword with conviction when Jessica poked his side.

“It is the hatchling from Reinhardt.”

“......”

Among the tower members, only Hayate and Jessica saw through Nefelina’s identity. It was strange for Hayate not to know and Jessica noticed it by combining the current situation with the strange feeling she felt when she visited Reinhardt. The unusual thing was that Biban didn’t notice it despite him visiting Reinhardt several times.

“Is there a secret between us...?” Biban’s expression was bitter as he muttered like it was absurd. His eyes as he looked at Grid were sad.

‘Has Biban never met Nefelina?’

Even if they had met, Biban would’ve forgotten. It was using the excuse that the situation at the time wasn’t good. Grid didn’t care if Biban was sad or not. He had completely adapted to Biban’s tendency to be slow to grasp something and to easily forget due to indifference to the matters around him. He treated the elderly who had dementia with a sense of support.

“Nefelina.” Grid carefully shook Nefelina’s shoulder. A child who was supposed to be in Reinhardt suddenly came and fainted, so he was concerned in many ways. He ruled out the possibility that Reinhardt might’ve been attacked. A message would’ve come already if this had happened.

‘Did she run away from home? Is it puberty?’

Someone who still had a long way to go to become an adult? Grid found it improbable but he still seriously suspected it. Wasn’t it said that a dragon realized the principles of the world from the moment they hatched from the egg? It wasn’t unusual for puberty to come quickly. He thought it was plausible because puberty was caused by emotional problems separate from the level of knowledge. Lauel’s existence was proof.

“G-Grid...” A nostalgic smell—Nefelina’s eyes trembled slightly as she slowly regained consciousness in Grid’s arms. “I... no, perhaps more dragons have no sense of kinship...”

“Yes... that’s right.”

In the past, Grid had treated Nefelina with great caution. There was something like trauma about a dragon’s power, so he supported her as if serving her in a temple. However, this changed as time passed. Behind the change was Nefelina’s favorability. The more time Nefelina spent with Grid, the more she liked him and relied on him. Grid also cared for her in the same way and the two of them gradually became friends. Irene was pleased because it seemed like a father-daughter relationship.
