85. night of the watchtower

The dragons, who believed in dragons as gods, had no royal road, no blood class, and no country name.

Compared to the monarchy of the Phrygian Kingdom, the Yongin, who were bound by a race other than their nationality, could not be viewed as a theocracy.

However, the existence of that god does exist, and the dragons are in a state of being left unattended in the present, in a long, dead sleep.

Nevertheless, they always kneel and pray to their god three times a day.

They hoped for the rest of the sleeping gods, and they hoped that they would take care of them, and they believed that they had entered into a rest right away with that great meaning.

In the Kingdom of Phrygia, those who guard the dragon’s borders are called Border Guards, while the Yongin have the title of Heretic Judge.

This was different from the heretical judges, and if there are any dragons who doubt the dragon, go to the heretical judges.

Matters related to other races are transferred to the Heretic Judge.

Yongin is given a chance to judge, but other races that do not serve dragons have already been confirmed as heretics, so there is no trial for them, only judgment.

“Fuu, may the dragon’s breath be with you today.”

After finishing the evening prayer by putting her hands on her chest and exhaling once, the Heretic Judge, Jeronia, got up slowly and started organizing today’s work again.

Some ridicule it for being a frontier, and others praise it as a protective shield that protects the dragons, but in fact, ‘Dragon’s Border’ was not hard enough to be ridiculed, nor was it a sacred place enough to be praised.

boredom.

Yes, the only thing that filled this place was boredom and boredom.

Occasionally, if a crazy person or criminals come over from among humans, playing with them gives them peace of mind and body, but that’s the end of it.

As the sun went down, it was time to light the lamp, and I thought that the usual day of Jeronia would end like this.

The sound of urgent footsteps.

The softly flickering light flickers violently.

The representative of the Heretic Judge who rushed into the Judge’s room without even knocking.

Normally, he would have said it right away, but seeing his condition, Jeronia thought it was not normal, so he waited for the report.

“City, Judge! It is said that there is a human who has crossed the fence from the border side! He wounded two of our enlisted men and is now on the run!”

“Crazy.”

Dare to be human?

Jeronia listened to the continued report, carrying her helmet and giant halberd that had been taken off for evening prayer.

“Fortunately, one of the two Yongin escaped, so we are investigating the human impression and the escape route…”

“I will go.”

Geronia, who came out as it was, headed to the interrogation room, which was far from the agents’ quarters.

The interrogation room was a place where people were usually caught and played with or tortured, so it was inevitable that it would be far away from accommodations and other business facilities.

Yongin’s five senses are sensitive, so I couldn’t stand the smell of human excretion or blood near the accommodation.

Geronia, who entered through the window roughly, was trembling, but was able to face the unfair Yongin as if she didn’t know why she had to be in the interrogation room.

“Explain the situation.”

It was a simple word, but Yongin replied with a gibberish at the heavy voice.

Suddenly, the captain of the human guardians said that their soldiers were turning into dragons.

Then, from behind, a man who didn’t seem to be a guard broke down the fence and charged at them brandishing a sword.

My head hurt a little because it wasn’t organized, but I was able to check it out anyway.

“Wounds?”

The priest who wrapped the bandage next to me replied, “Don’t worry.”

“There are a lot of wounds, but they are not life-threatening. You don’t seem to be a very skilled person.”

“……is it.”

For a moment, Geronia felt uneasy about something, but she let it go. Catching humans right away was the priority.

If you miss it here and enter the land of the dragons, of course you will face difficulties in searching, and it is clear that you will be responsible for it.

“Okay, for now…”

The moment I was about to tell the agent who followed me to take immediate action.

There was the sound of something heavy falling outside.

The priest might have fallen fruit from the tree he was growing, but Geronia, the heretic judge, immediately grabbed the halberd.

It wasn’t just a sound that could be made like a fruit.

“sentry?”

I implicitly call the sentry guarding the interrogation room from the outside.

Only the strong wind blowing heavily and the shadows of the lanterns swaying in accordance with it answered.

“sentry?”

Kwajik!

The moment I called again, the sound of something breaking rang out.

Geronia, realizing the seriousness of the situation, stopped the agent from trying to get out with a weapon.

The opponent was coming this way anyway.

Rather than go out and fight, it was wiser to ambush while waiting for him to come inside.

“Priest is behind.”

“Please, may the dragon’s breath be with you.”

For the first time in an emergency like this, the priest hurriedly put his hands together and began to pray.

All the Yongin here felt that a humid life was slowly approaching from outside the door.

Silence that heightens tension in the dark.

A demon-like enemy appears without even letting out that natural breathing sound.

‘Are you really human?’

A moment when I wondered if it was something like an undead rather than a human.

There was a hole the size of a palm in the damp wooden ceiling, and a rope with a hook flew from there was wound around the neck of the agent who was guarding Xeronia’s side and began to drag him to the ceiling.

“Wow! Nope! Dream!”

The agent, who was suddenly hanged, floated in the sky and began to struggle.

Even though the dragons had the same body shape as normal humans, they weighed twice as much, but he was lifted so easily as if he had been caught by a chicken neck, and the back of his head reached the ceiling.

“wait! Still!”

Halberdrow had a hard time severing the rope, so he pulled out the dagger he had in his arms, but Zeronia couldn’t even approach him because the agent struggled so hard.

The moment the agent gradually loses his mind and foams at his mouth.

The tension on the string loosened and let him go.

“Cuckoo! Whoops!”

An agent who wraps his neck and rolls the floor.

‘why?’

It was fortunate that the agent survived, but why didn’t he kill him?

No, more than that.

“Wasn’t it outside the door?”

The creepy living thing had apparently come in through the crack in the door and pierced her own skin. And that life is still the same.

The moment I hurriedly open the door, wondering if there was another intruder.

Only a few fallen dragons were visible, but no other beings.

However, when you open the door, the feeling of living becomes more intense.

Geronia instinctively felt that the killing mass was behind her, and swung her halberd wide at the same time as she opened her body.

“Ahhh……”

The man was not behind.

Exactly, I was misunderstanding myself.

The mass of killing was so great that he naturally thought that he was caught behind him.

Actually it wasn’t.

A hole that got bigger because it came down from the ceiling, a priest who passed out, an agent, and Yongin who ran away.

The dragons had a hard time determining the age of a human being, but Jeronia had its own tricks. There were no wrinkles on his face, so he could tell that he was young.

The dark hair and ferocious momentum was like seeing a reaper who was harvesting life, often mentioned by young dragons.

Every time he heard such a story, the savvy Jeronia said:

‘The dragons protect us, so what’s scary?’

However, when I saw something similar to him, I was convinced that the moment I got down on my knees and prayed, the neck had already escaped.

“There are a lot of wounds, but it doesn’t affect your life, so you don’t think your skills are very good?”

Feeling the priest’s words pierce his heart like a boomerang, a self-helpful smile appeared.

If you hit it with math, the formula is correct.

Numbers and signs are entered exactly where they should be entered.

In fact, the calculation is wrong.

Conversely, there are many wounds and no life-threatening effects.

It sounds like he was an opponent who was skillful enough not to endanger his life even though he inflicted so many wounds.

“Boy, what is your purpose?”

Even in the midst of fear, Xeronia made a dignified voice. That was the only thing he could do.

The man asked if he had any intention of having a conversation as well, slowly turning around and looking at Geronia.

“There are people who turn into dragons among humans. Do you know about this?”

cool voice.

His dignified voice, which he had uttered so far, felt like a child’s play, and his sweet voice gave a chill as if he had come to a snowy field.

“……”

Geronia couldn’t answer.

I didn’t really know anything about him either, although at first I attributed it simply to his cold voice, his hands trembling with the blood he poured out.

“Yeah, you don’t know.”

Like a judge handing down a death sentence.

At the soft voice in the interrogation room, Geronia hurriedly swung her halberd.

He fainted without even grasping the situation properly.

*

The border of the dragon was quite wide, but the number of guard posts was not very large.

However, the Heretic Judge in charge of each guard post is assigned unconditionally.

And late at night, a man’s voice rang through the heresy judges’ emergency contact.

It was said that the Yonggak Post, which could be called the frontline, and the dragons guarding it had been captured by humans.

“There is only one requirement, exchange of information and hostages.”

Surprisingly, it was the same person who relayed all this through the emergency contact.
