Above Muller’s Hill.

At an altitude that could not be seen with the naked eye, Scathach and Sephira were closely observing the Orc colony.

They followed the wagon they were tracking and ended up in an orc village.

I was patiently waiting for the carriage to leave the village.

“Can’t you just attack?”

“Of course it can’t happen, right? This is the land of the orcs.”

There is no reason for dragons to fear orcs.

However, that did not mean that it was okay to act recklessly.

Even dragons had rules, and it was an order to prevent chaos in the world.

“With great power comes great responsibility. There should be no cases where other races become extinct due to our actions.”

“I know. That’s what I said in the first place to the point where my ears were prickling.”

“If you say it like this consistently, it will get stuck in your mind and you won’t be able to control yourself if anything happens in the future?”

“Ugh, I’m bored!”

“Then stop listening to the stories you talk about every night… … .”

“Still, I heard bitter things are good for your health. Wouldn’t it be better to keep hearing bitter words?”

“… … .”

Scathach was okay with nagging, but she didn’t like the idea of having no one to listen to her and her master’s stories.

He quickly changed his stance and avoided Sephira’s gaze.

The location of the carriage will be continuously checked by Sephira, who possesses the Mind’s Eye.

Scathach took a look at the view inside the village while gently passing on the important responsibility to her.

Normally, she wouldn’t have bothered to look at other races’ villages, but there was a reason why she couldn’t do that now.

‘It’s not an illusion after all. There is a faint scent of the owner… !’

As he turned his head back and forth, the tip of Scathach’s nose twitched little by little.

As she searched for the direction where Lian’s scent was strong, she was finally able to achieve what she wanted.

A black doll running from rooftop to building.

Although his face was not visible because his body was covered with a hood, he could not avoid Scathach’s detection ability.

Body shape, smell, and even minor body habits.

It matched perfectly with the Lian that Scathach knew.

“Sephira… .”

“Ha… ! I will be in charge of this place, so please go.”

Sephira realized that Scathach was obsessed with finding Rian.

Above all, she knew Rian’s existence right away, so she predicted that Scathach would go looking for him.

Sephira waved her hand towards Scathach, telling her to go quickly.

“Thank you for your consideration!”

“Don’t rush out like last time and face him calmly.”

“You won’t make a mistake this time, so don’t worry!”

“Saying that, don’t you always repeat the same mistake…? … .”

Sephira’s words of concern did not reach Scathach’s ears.

Even if she had reached it, she wouldn’t have stopped.

When it comes to matters related to Lian, Scarha puts aside everything and heads in that direction.

Sephira just hoped that things would turn out well this time.

‘Anyway, where is the owner going in such a hurry?’

Meanwhile, as advised by Sephira, Scathach did not rush straight from the beginning but observed Rian calmly.

If you come in front of him and interfere with his work, you will be disliked.

We need to closely understand what Ryan wants and pursue it.

‘Perfect!’

Scathach is proud of her growth in being able to make rational decisions.

She had no doubt that if she continued like this, she would definitely be able to win Ryan’s favor.

But her resolve did not last long.

‘what… ?’

Lian enters a dark alley from a noisy street.

Wouldn’t it be better to take a look around and then enter the building with a decadent atmosphere?

Scathach, who watched the scene, flinched and became agitated.

I couldn’t help it. This is because Rian showed wary behavior as if he were someone who was about to commit fraud.

I haven’t checked it properly yet, but I couldn’t help but be concerned.

Scathach slowly lowered his altitude and focused all his attention on his ears.

Ryan’s voice is heard faintly.

It felt sweet and made me smile, but for a moment, there was noise like a discordant sound.

A woman who was deliberately twisting her tongue and fawning was seducing Lian.

The corners of Scathach’s mouth, which had been drawing a line, lowered, and her eyes grew cold.

If Lian hadn’t firmly refused, he would have gone straight through the roof and down to the floor.

Scathach was a little less worried, but her heart was still anxious.

I was worried that he would give his heart to someone like he did to Cheolgeom before.

Scathach did not want the space where he could be to be narrowed down.

‘It shouldn’t stay like this… !’

Behind the black market building.

Spotting an orc man sighing and chain-smoking, Scathach landed in front of him without hesitation.

The orc, startled by the dragon race that came down from the sky, opened the back door and tried to escape… … .

“Where are you going?”

Kwaang-!

Scathach pushed hard on the iron door that the orc had opened and closed it again.

The orc’s heart began to beat like crazy after experiencing an unexpected wall thump.

Of course, his heartbeat was caused by fear, not excitement.

“Sir, please save me!”

“Don’t worry, I’m not doing this to eat you.”

“Well, then what happened… ?”

“I have a favor to ask. Sell me out to the human male in this building.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you hear me? Sell me out.”

“Sorry, but the sale of slaves without a quality guarantee and engraving is illegal.”

There was no need to consider illegality in a black market where illegality was rampant.

However, the orc man was so embarrassed that he questioned whether it was legal.

“No need to worry about that part. Because you can sell it as a sword, not as a slave.”

“Well… A sword?”

“Okay. For your information, it would be better for you if you keep my identity secret.”

Scathach changes from the appearance of a beautiful dragon to the form of a sharp magic sword.

It spun around in the air and got stuck near the orc man’s neck.

As his vocal cords disappeared as well, he was unable to communicate, so he showed it as an action.

It meant that if you don’t want to be cut, sell yourself quickly.

“Hiik!”

The orc understood what he meant and pulled out Scathach from the wall and pulled it with both hands.

I went straight into the black market and searched for the person she was talking about.

Navigation wasn’t difficult. Because rumors of a human being recommended by a famous orc courtesan spread everywhere.

The man who discovered Lian based on rumors quickly caught him, leaving Scathach, who was difficult to carry, aside for a moment.

The man who succeeded in getting Rian’s attention brought out Scathach again.

‘If I don’t sell, my life is in danger…’ !’

The orc, who regarded Scathach as a dangerous object, quickly rummaged through his pockets.

To put it mildly, an orc who was so impatient that he used the underwear of a prostitute he stole from Changgwan as a sword decoration.

After reading his feelings, Lian let out a deep sigh and stretched out his hand to hand over the sword.

As soon as he handed over Scathach, the man ran away from the spot without even looking back.

Lian took out a gold coin and scratched his head.

[master! master!]

“Skaha, what are you doing again?”

[I just asked the orc from before to move me because I wanted to meet the owner!]

“You were scared of something like that?”

[It was a polite request to others, but I guess they took it as a threat because they were under pressure from me!]

Scathach is skilled at telling lies.

However, since it was a dragon demon sword made from dragon body parts, it was understandable.

Anyone who is not mentally strong will tremble in front of a dragon.

There was nothing that could be done about the inherent difference in rank.

“But you can move around on your own.”

[I was in a position where I couldn’t reveal my identity, so I had no choice! The Yongin people stand out, right?]

“Why are you hiding your identity?”

[I was chasing the carriage of Tonks Company as instructed by the owner!]

“What? Do you know where Tonks’ carriage is?”

[I don’t know, except for the fact that it’s somewhere in an orc colony. Sephira probably knows!]

“Anyway, Maxwell’s tail exists.”

Lian smiled at the fact that his hypothesis was correct.

Scathach was also happy to see Lian happy.

It finally helped!

The owner was happy!

It proved to be a somewhat useful sword to him!

‘Desiring praise… … . ‘I guess that’s too greedy?’

Scathach relented, recalling his endlessly unreasonable behavior in the past.

You must not expect anything from your master.

Until she gained Lian’s trust, Scathach was determined to prove her worth by quietly working for him.

“That’s right, thank you for the information. Thanks to you, things have become easier.”

[ah… ?]

Am I dreaming?

Scathach heard the praise she had been holding back, saying it was greed.

Because she was in a sword state, her emotions were not revealed, but if she had taken on the form of a dragon, she would have been dumbfounded with her mouth open.

But it wasn’t a delusion.

The warmth coming from Rian’s hand that was holding the handle was real.

[ah… ! eww… !]

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

[Ugh… !]

Scathach’s pitch-black body was gradually turning red.

Even though it turned red, as if it had fallen into lava and came out, it was still burning… … .

“Uh… ? Are you really okay?”

[Ugh!]

Scach’s embarrassment reached its peak as he heard Lian’s kind voice showing concern for him.

Dragon Demon Sword’s emotions exploded with shyness.

It was a large-scale explosion equivalent to a dragon’s breath.

Orc’s black market service was terminated.
