Trash of the Count's Family

Ancient Dragon Eruhaben returned after meeting with the World Tree.

The ring, sword, and crown…

The three items were placed on top of the table.

When they were in the Central Plains…

These were the items they found in the Sichuan Castle Lord’s secret area in his study, an arrangement left behind by Maxillienne, a Dragon from Aipotu.

Next to them were the young monk statue with its cheeks even skinnier.

“You were planning on giving this sword to Choi Han?”

The ancient Dragon’s face was calm as he tapped on the wooden sword.

“Yes, Eruhaben-nim. I thought that it was the most fitting.”

Aipotu.

The sword used by the Elves who served the Dragon Lord for generations.

“Mm.”

However, Eruhaben’s face did not look good.

“Is there a problem?”

“The compatibility is not good.”

Cale looked confused and Eruhaben explained.

“I can’t tell for sure because the seal on the sword is not fully removed, but-”

“A seal?”

“Ah, it is set so that you can know all of its abilities only once it has a master.”

Choi Han had not become this sword’s master yet.

He needed to put his blood on it to make it official.

“Anyway, this sword does not fit well with darkness. It is actually like the day.”

Cale’s eyebrows slightly rose up.

“Choi Han is darkness.”

He understood why Eruhaben was talking about a compatibility issue.

“This sword is full of liveliness and overflowing with energy. I can feel that it will instinctively follow some sort of light.”

Sheritt added onto the Ancient Dragon’s comment.

“Elves have a tendency to worship Dragons. Dragons can definitely be considered a light for the Elves. I wonder if this sword was made with that in mind?”

Eruhaben nodded his head.

“Yes ma’am. You can see this sword as the sword of an unconditionally devoted person for protecting their master.”

This sword for the Guardian Knight Elf to protect the Dragon Lord did not suit Choi Han.

Cale thought about Choi Han.

‘Choi Han doesn’t have unconditional devotion.’

He would rather hide his body in the darkness and release a light himself.

And that guy already-

“Cale. Choi Han is someone who has already found his path and knows how to create light.”

Yes. As Eruhaben mentioned, Choi Han was someone who learned how to walk his own path and release it as an aura.

This sword did not suit someone like that.

“But it seems like a good sword.”

Sheritt showed her disappointment as she mumbled.

“What about giving it to someone else?”

Eruhaben and Cale made eye contact at that moment.

Someone fitting this sword…

The two of them subconsciously looked outside.

Baaaaang!

There was a loud noise and a person was flung away to smash into the forest.

That person was still laughing.

It was Clopeh Sekka.

“Cale.”

“Eruhaben-nim, that seems a bit…no.”

Cale urgently answered but the ancient Dragon said what he needed to say.

“But that guy is unconditionally devoted to you and to a legend.”

“…….”

That was true.

Even if Cale tried to avoid it, Clopeh Sekka was more crazy about a legend than anybody else Cale had met.

He wanted Cale to leave behind a legend.

“I’ve never seen anybody so completely crazy about their conviction like him.”

“…….”

“He is probably extremely compatible with this sword.”

“…….”

That did seem to be the case.

“Furthermore, that guy doesn’t really see Dragons as great and mighty.”

“…….”

This was also true.
