I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 55 Curiosity

Saeldir wiped the spit out of his mouth. His breath was still fast and ragged. Saeldir sat on the cold palace floor. He didn't realize that his entire body was now covered in a cold sweat.

What he saw inside Erend's body was something extremely terrifying. Whatever power Erend possessed was not from the world he was able to see.

Saeldir saw there was a Dragon. Something he knew was already owned by Erend. That Dragon is a fire Dragon. But his strength is not at its full potential. As if it was a... baby Dragon.

But the baby Dragon wouldn't be able to have that much power. What Erend had was not an ordinary Dragon but a power that took the Dragon's power and infused it into Erend's body.

What was more terrifying than the Dragon's power was another power behind it. Something big and great that doesn't seem to have any limits.

Saeldir seemed to have just looked into an endless abyss that could swallow him to nothingness.

"What is that…" Saeldir couldn't guess what was behind Erend's Dragon power.

For now, Saeldir felt that he was still stronger than Erend with his Dragon power.

The Dragon's power is immature so Erend has not been able to get its maximum potential of it.

But he had other powers that were far more terrifying. Saeldir felt that this mysterious power would give Erend unlimited potential.

In that case, does Saeldir still think that he can still be stronger than Erend when he finds out his true strength? Saeldir didn't think so.

Saeldir was an Elf Archmage. Admitting that there was someone stronger than him was something very shameful.

Therefore Saeldir would choose to remain silent and keep what he saw in Erend a secret.

After finally regaining his strength, Saeldir stood up and walked away from that place.

Luckily the corridor was deserted, so Saeldir didn't need to meet and explain anything to anyone.

Erend tried to shake off the thought of what he was feeling earlier. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Saeldir was an Elf Archmage, of course, he would be stronger than himself.

'One day I will face him.' Erend thought about that possibility in his head.

He couldn't believe that he and the Elves would continue to live in peace. Even when the key had returned to the hands of the Elves, Erend felt that the trouble was not over yet.

Erend saw Billy and Lt.Boartusk with Aurdis. They had just come out up the stairs from the dungeon. It seemed they had just interrogated Anna again.

"What did you get?" Erend asked once they were close.

"Pretty good news," said Lt.Boartusk with a smile. "We've found a few places where the key is possibly kept. But that's only a possibility."

"Better than nothing," Erend said.

Aurdis's face looks sad.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Erend asked.

"I can't bear to let a woman be in a dungeon," Aurdis replied.

"Aurdis, that woman is not a good woman," Erend said. "She's done a lot of evil things you can't imagine in our world."

"I already said it!" Billy suddenly joined in. "That woman set us up on purpose, Aurdis. You don't have to feel bad about her."

Even so, Aurdis still had a sad face. She seemed to be a very good girl indeed. Erend thought in his mind, 'This race doesn't deserve Aurdis.' freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Should we keep waiting for Aerchon to make a move?" Billy asked in a tone that sounded nervous and impatient.

"Yes. We'll have to wait," Aurdis said.

"Can't you give the order?" Erend asked Aurdis.

But Aurdis shook her head. "No."

"But you are the Princess! Isn't this kingdom's throne divided in half or something?" Billy said.

Aurdis chuckled. "Of course not. Maybe in your world, you have a different system of government. But here the power is held by men."

"Ah-" Billy cancels his word. His mouth was already open but the words he wanted didn't come out.

"Well, okay." Instead, Billy said this.

"Now it looks like we can only wait," Lt.Boartusk said.

On the other hand, Elis was as usual working hard on translating the Quenya language book.

No one gave her the order to do that. But Elis continued to do it because she was very passionate about it.

She just wanted to translate all the contents of the book as quickly as possible so that she could know what was in it. Getting a book from a fairy tale was enough to make Elis feel happy. And now she can understand what it meant.

It was getting late and Elis finally finished translating three pages. Following the target she had set today.

She sighed tiredly as she stretched her body. When the work was done Elis just felt the weight on her body. Feeling sore, dizzy, and hungry all at once.

Yes, hungry. Elis hasn't eaten at all since morning. She didn't eat anything all day because she was too focused on translating the book.

"Arrgh..." Accompanied by a sigh full of pain, Elis tried to lift her body to walk toward the kitchen.

This place is the residence provided by LTC. Ibis and LTC.Coil for her. A basement in the secret base that was used by Cemetery Wind at that time to make preparations.

Elis has lived here since she first worked for LTC. Ibis and LTC.Coil.

She managed to get a loaf of bread and milk. But Elis returned to her study and ate there. While eating, Elis read the translation. She was particularly interested in a paragraph.

"In that garden..." Elis read the passage describing such a beautiful garden.

But this garden was not the same as the garden she had read about in the previous section called Eternal Garden. A garden where the Fountain of Eternity is located.

This one garden is located inside the Elf palace. Elis' eyes widened as she read it again.

Then she immediately read the Quenya language which showed how to open the Portal. Elis wanted to catch a glimpse of the garden.

A portal opened before her eyes. Elis smiled happily and jumped from the chair. But as she took a closer look, she saw two people staring back at her from behind the Portal.
