Trash of the Count's Family

The last step.

Cale stopped there.

“Wow!”

Raon gasped.

“Human, it really is ice!”

The mana lights that Raon floated in the air shone brightly in the open area.

Cale saw a scene that reminded him of looking at a frozen lake in the middle of a winter night with the stars shining down on it.

‘The ice is black.’

The half-transparent black ice sparkled like the night sky.

“Wait here.”

“I got it, human!”

Raon answered energetically.

“I understand, Cale-nim.”

Choi Han answered with a pure smile on his face.

Cale, Raon, and Choi Han…

The rest were all doing their own work or waiting at the Sichuan Castle Lord’s study upstairs.

‘The Dragon said for Raon and I to split it up, but…’

Cale had no intentions of doing that.

‘I’ll gather everything for now and go back.’

The three items the Dragon supposedly has…

The ring used by the Dragon Lord in Aipotu.

The crown used by the first Emperor of the last Empire in that world, someone who is said to have hunted Dragons.

The sword used by the Guardian Knight of the Dragon Lord.

‘The owners for the items have been decided.’

The ring for Raon.

The crown for Cale.

The sword for Choi Han.

‘But I have no intention of handing it over right now.’

Step.

Cale stepped onto the black ice.

Only his footsteps echoed through the silence.

He organized his thoughts in the darkness that looked as if it was surrounded by starlight.

‘I’ll put the three items in my spatial pocket bag right away-’

Cale made up his mind.

‘I’ll ask Eruhaben-nim or Sheritt-nim to examine them.’

How could he trust the items given by a Dragon from a different world and just use the items?

He could not blindly trust a Dragon who brought these items while telling a young Dragon to save the world.

He might be okay but he had no idea what innocent Raon or pure Choi Han might face while using these items of unknown origins.

‘They both seem smart but they are quite dense and naïve at times.’

As a result, Cale would take all of the items but would ask ancient Dragon Eruhaben and former Dragon Lord Sheritt, two Dragons who had experienced more hardships of the world than anybody else they knew, to examine the items.

Cale stopped at the center of the cavity.

‘Should I do it now?’

He was slightly anxious.

Team leader Sui Khan and Choi Jung Soo… He recalled a conversation he had with the two of them.

‘Even if it is a Dragon, for her to have traveled through dimensions… Cale, she does not seem like a regular Dragon.’

‘I agree with the team leader-nim! Hey, even the Hunters have to offer a lot of lives to use that karma to travel through dimensions. It does look like that Dragon gave up a significant amount of its life to travel to this dimension, but… You shouldn’t take that Dragon lightly.’

Cale had then pulled the divine item out of his pocket.

He sent messages to the God of Death and Central Plains.

< Hey, I'm going to take this Dragon's stuff? >

For some odd reason, neither of them responded.

‘Something feels off.’

Having that uneasy feeling was the reason Cale decided to have the ancient Dragon inspect these items first.

‘If any variables arise, let’s just destroy this basement.’

Cale had that thought as he exhaled to calm himself.

“Huuuuuu.”

– Sluuuurp.

‘Hmm?’

Cale flinched.

– Ah, sorry. I keep drooling. Slurp.

The Sky Eating Water could not stop licking her lips and gulped.

– Sluuuurp. I’m hungry.

The glutton priestess was showing the same reaction.

– …You can’t even use this power.

The Sky Eating Water retorted back and the glutton priestess answered.

– I’m fine just getting a taste. Slurp.

– Really? Hehe, I’m super looking forward to the power I will get after eating that water. If things go well, the sky, that damn god bastard with my own hands, kekeke-!

‘…These bastards are not normal either.’

All of the tension disappeared from Cale’s body.

“Haaaaa.”

Cale sighed before nonchalantly commenting.

“Maxillienne.”

Maxillienne was the name of the owner of this tomb, the Dragon who wrote the book.

< The ice will melt the moment you say my name. >

The moment he said her name as she mentioned…

Craaaaaaack–!

The ice started to crack with Cale at the center.
