Trash of the Count's Family

Ancient Dragon Eruhaben who was heading toward Cale with a smile flinched after seeing Cale's expression.

Cale didn’t care as he reached his hand out toward Eruhaben.

“…What do you want?”

Eruhaben didn't know what Cale wanted from him. Cale responded back.

“Oh, you're going to feign ignorance, Eruhaben-nim?”

Cale's tone was extremely curt.

Cale started to speak again as the ancient Dragon slowly started to frown at Cale’s tone that was different than usual.

“Please hand over the ancient artifact.”

It was an oddly rude tone. However, Eruhaben who made eye contact with Cale did not complain about the tone.

Instead, he answered back was a calm expression.

“Ancient artifact? Didn’t you just hear it break?”

“Haaaa.”

Cale let out a deep sigh.

Eruhaben had to force himself not to flinch after hearing that sigh. He could see Cale Henituse look up at the ceiling of the training ground before looking back at him.

“Eruhaben-nim.”

Cale calmly continued on.

“Do I look like I fell for your trick?”

Cale stared right back at Eruhaben who was quietly observing him.

The ancient artifact.

The water coming from the jar that was full of vitality filled up to the user’s desired amount.

It only filled up as much as the user needed. It would break if it could not meet the user’s desires.

This was what the Mercenary King had told him.

“I have no intention on asking why you didn’t use the jar properly.”

Cale’s expression continued to remain calm while Eruhaben started to frown more and more.

“Haaa, you-”

Eruhaben started to speak, but could not continue. It was because Cale cut him off.

“The jar supposedly fills up as much as the user wants.”

One step, then another step.

Cale started to walk closer to the ancient Dragon.

“That ancient artifact will be useless in your hands right now, Eruhaben-nim.”

One thousand years.

He was someone who had lived for such a long time. Cale was not that scared of this Dragon who was the longest living of the species known for being arrogant and independent.

“It is useless because you do not wish to live much longer.”

One step.

Cale stopped just one step away from Eruhaben who started to speak.

“You're right.”

He did not disagree with Cale.

“That jar will not fill with any water even if you put it back in my hand.”

Eruhaben admitted that he did not wish to live much longer.

Cale saw that Eruhaben who had turned pale after the fight against the White Star looked fine again and asked back.

“Is it about one year?”

He remembered what a Wind Elemental had told him.

It said that Eruhaben had taken just one gulp.

Cale was asking how much vitality was in that one gulp.

“…Yes. I think I will probably live for another year.”

One year.

That was similar to the amount of time Eruhaben had left before using up his energy to fight against the White Star.

Eruhaben had determined that it would be enough.

"We will defeat the White Star within that time.”

The ancient Dragon sounded certain that they would defeat the White Star within that time. It was also his way of showing his will to make that happen.

“But how did you know?”

Eruhaben was asking the silent Cale how he knew about what he did with the ancient artifact.

He had not felt any type of magic spells or ancient powers outside the iron gate.

“Is that important?”

Cale bluntly responded back before continuing to speak.

“There is something I gained after fortifying the wind attribute ancient power.”

Cale had told the others that he had fortified the wind attribute ancient power, but not what that fortification entailed.

The group had not been curious as they were more focused on making Cale rest and eat.

“I can listen to the voices of the Wind Elementals when I want.”

“Ah.”

Eruhaben nodded his head.

Hearing the voices of Elementals. That did not require magic nor ancient powers.

It was something that happened naturally.

“The Elementals must have told you.”

“Something like that.”

Eruhaben just sighed after hearing Cale’s response.

The ancient Dragon tried to change topics to get past this situation, but Cale’s hand was still reaching out toward him.

He looked as if he would continue to stay like this if Eruhaben did not hand the jar over.
