Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North - Chapter 88



88 – Rats in the Overflowing Sewers (2)

“How much is it?”

“400 Gold. However, there was no special labor today, so let’s do it for 390 gold.”

“…What, what?”

With those words, Winter’s expression, which she had been so confident in, cracked.

“That’s not too expensive-.”

“I mean it.”

But still, the owner calmly washed the dishes and continued.

“In this shop, 400 gold worth is sold every day, even if it is not possible in a day. Isn’t this the main street of the most prosperous academy in the capital of the empire? Right now, just yesterday, I had almost 500 gold in income. The monthly rent of this shop alone costs 4,000 gold a month.”

“Very, Captain…”

At that sound, Winter’s subordinates, who were playing the role of ordinary people around him, looked at him with anxious eyes.

“No matter how much it is the capital of an empire, this is…”

“You are too expensive…”

To the point where even the best-selling We Grapher mercenary group in the southern region is considered to be at a considerable level.

In fact, in the South, that amount is equivalent to two or three years’ worth of living for a fairly large family.

It is said that it is also an amount that only nobles can come and go.

In fact, the amount of the quest that Winter, the Wolf King, received in return for coming to the Empire was at most 2,000 gold, so there was no way there was no damage.

FYI, that amount also included all of the lodging and lodging expenses for all of their mercenaries here now.

The owner, who was silently washing the dishes, stopped and asked.

“Do you have any money? Trauma is also possible.”

At those words, Winter’s eyes twitched.

It was a sound that touched his ego.

“No, no problem. Don’t let me Because of that order.”

“Even if you answer that, your voice trembles.”

The

Empire is famous for having the largest economy on the continent.

Since it is located in the center of the world, countless currencies and gold and silver treasures pass through it, and everything in the world goes through it all the time.

On the other hand, no matter how well things went in the southern regions, the exchange rate was bound to fall behind due to the gap in geography and economic scale.

“No problem. It’s about this much, no matter how-“

It was then.

“Miu Miu!”

“How!”

The two women who came out from behind grabbed the winter and shook it.

Winter’s upper body shook mercilessly like a reed.

“Wait a minute! Don’t hold on! Kuck!”

Wooddeuk.

From noble mtl dot com

An unusual sound leaked from the tight winter.

It was tears that filled the eyes of his sisters.

They know it too.

If the Wegrapher Mercenary Corps, which is currently entangled in numerous debts and interests, pays this money, it will be engulfed in new debts again.

“Hmm…”

Looking at the two sisters who are ruthlessly shaking the winter.

The owner, who seemed to be thinking hard about something, soon added what he was thinking.

“Hey Winter.”

“Uh, huh? Gagging!”

“Would you like to borrow your sisters for a week? Judging from her appearance, if she works as a waitress, the store’s sales will double. I promise to send you out right away as soon as the debt is forgiven.”

What a knight’s oath.

The two sisters of Winter have been quite famous since before.

Although not as much as the leader of the pack, because of his outstanding strength and beauty, he was also the target of many great nobles and crimes.

For some reason, Winter made eye contact with his sisters for a while, and then opened his mouth.

“Yeah, but they’re werewolves, so I can’t say the right words-.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“He is strong and will break a plate if ordered to do small chores.”

“That doesn’t matter either. With such a great appearance, no matter what happens, nobles will come to see it. Aren’t they the famous Yui and Yumi sisters?”

“…I’ll leave it to you as much as you like.”

Georeum accepted the condition as soon as he could finish his words.

It’s late.

It was around the time Lucia, Yone, and Princess Rachel parted ways and went to their respective dormitories to sleep.

Whoop-.

A light breeze that flowed like a river around him began to gather around him.

Manipulating the collected wind, Han flew up into the sky.

Tak.

Han landed on the roof of the dormitory.

‘Hey. Feel so good.’

The rooftop was quiet.

Under the falling moonlight, Han, the guardian dragon, enjoyed his leisure time alone and walked leisurely on it.

He was so far away from the ground that it was dizzying, but it had nothing to do with him with wings.

Because he was a being who had no problems even flying backwards.

[Miaoong-.]

[Meow-.]

A corner on the roof.

A considerable number of cats gathered there.

They gazed at the guardian dragon with interest.

Some even clung to each other with curious eyes, wagging their tails.

[Arrure-.]

Han, the guardian dragon, expressed displeasure at the annoying expression of interest,

Some even dared to wriggle their tails in front of him, obstructing his view.

At that time, a dangerous sound leaked out of Han’s mouth like a growl of a beast, but these ignorant ones still did not change their behavior.

‘…It would be better if these annoying bastards weren’t there.’

But no matter how much he was a dragon, it was impossible to get rid of these miscellaneous things blindly.

Still, they say they like him and express their interest with their whole body.

It’s a flaw that he subtly stimulates his temper, but even he couldn’t bluntly push away the display of affection just because he found it unpleasant.

However, it was on the way.

[Kiik?]

Han the Guardian Dragon.

Suddenly, his gaze turned to the street at dawn.

From the other side of the dim street overlooking it, I sensed something strange.

‘…What is that, that.’

Something is wriggling.

Is it an illusion?

A small and stealthy presence. Or presence.

I could feel the thick mana lurking from it.

Han carefully looked at the darkness.

Soon, the dragon’s pupils slowly turned into vertical shapes as if they were sharpened.

But the distance was too far, so I couldn’t see it properly.

The building of the dormitory where the guardian dragon Han was standing was located far away from the city center.

No matter how much the dragon’s eyesight is far superior to that of quite a few wild beasts, it can’t be seen properly because the distance is the distance.

That moment.

Wriggling.

In the shadows of the dark downtown, I could see something moving very stealthily.

‘…No, it’s not an illusion.’

There is something. In that black darkness.

That was something living. The proof was that he possessed magical powers.

But at least he wasn’t human. As a human being, at least it didn’t look so bizarre.

That one had a hunched back and a very long tail. Also, the upper body was very large compared to the lower body.

A strange looking creature.

It was not the kind of creature you would see in the middle of a capital city where these humans live.

Sureuk.

To confirm its identity, Han, the guardian dragon, blinked again.

His eyelids lifted, revealing his pupils, now glowing blue and emitting light.

It had magical powers in its eyes.

Body enhancement. Also known as the clairvoyant.

A hunter’s skill that concentrates the eyes on both eyes and gathers mana to magnify distant objects as if watching through a telescope.

‘That’s…’

Instantly, his pupils narrowed as he stood up as he confirmed the identity of the other party in the distance.

In an instant, all the objects around you start to enlarge,

Far away. Everything begins to be clearly visible, as if a being hidden in the darkness of the downtown street where the night has fallen has suddenly met right in front of their noses.

[…!]

That’s…!

At that moment, Han’s pupils widened considerably.

He was so startled that he reflexively jumped up from his seat. His tail was pulled up so tightly that he even trembled.

A black existence that secretly appeared in the darkness of the city.

Its true identity was none other than a ‘monster’.

As long as he remembered his previous life,

He knows what that is. And he knew very well what he was like.

‘Ratman…!’

[Kururu-.]

As if to support Han’s embarrassed cry,

The Black Leopard, Night Walker, who had been crouching alone in the dark until now, also began to growl, revealing his teeth.

The darkness floating around the body of the Night Walker, who sensed a dire situation, formed like smoke and began to leak out.

However, before Guardian Dragon Han could prepare and act, an accident struck first.

Puck-!

With a short, blunt hitting sound,

Monster Ratman fell helplessly to the ground.

The guy didn’t move anymore.

I just fell down and didn’t budge.

A fleeting moment of despair when no one can do anything about it. It was an instant death.

He stopped breathing.

‘ㅡWhat?’

A series of unexpected situations.

Han, the guardian dragon, was in a moment of panic.

A monster that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the city, the name of which is the capital of the empire.

But before the guardian dragon Han showed all his embarrassment, he died.

Because I was attacked by something.

And the guardian dragon Han’s body strengthening technique, clairvoyance, was still in operation.

So, through his dilated pupils, he could clearly see the condition of the monster Ratman’s corpse.

The one who died with his blood spilled like a puddle.

The one who pierced the forehead of such a bastard was none other than-.

‘Could that be a bullet wound?’

The thing that penetrated the guy who appeared in the darkness of an ambitious city center at once.

It was none other than a single bullet that appeared out of nowhere.

No doubt. That guy was shot dead.

After confirming its identity, the mouth of the guardian dragon, Han, slowly opened.

Han’s head reflexively began to look around for the sniper who had pierced his head.
