I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 56 Concurrences

Elis froze in place. She immediately regretted her stupid decision to open the Portal without thinking anything beforehand.

Elis didn't think that there will be someone in the place where she opened the Portal.

Elis' desire to see the garden in the description in the book made her careless. Even though she heard the orders from LTC.Ibis himself.

LTC. Ibis told her not to open the Portal unless instructed to do so. But Elis had already opened it now and she saw not one, but two people standing staring at her from behind the Portal.

A man and a woman. But as soon as she began to control herself, Elis realized that she had seen the man before.

"E-Erend Drake?" Elis muttered while squinting to clear her view.

Elis saw Erend Drake running towards her. Elis widened her eyes and then said the sentence to close the Portal.

Erend Drake's hand stretched out towards her. But the Portal was already closed.

Elis struggled to control her pounding chest. She holds the table to stay standing.

"Shit, what did I just do?" Elis immediately regretted her actions.

Hopefully, this doesn't create any new problems.

Elis knows that Erend Drake, Billy Brook, and Adrien Boartusk have been framed by LTC. Ibis and LTC.Coil. The three of them became scapegoats as the ones who stole the crystal key from the Presidential palace.

Elis knew about it but she couldn't do anything. When she agrees to the invitation to join this super-secret project, Elis knows that she will be involved in a dark conspiracy.

But to fulfill her desire for knowledge of the real fantasy world, Elis agreed heavily.

She tried to accept the mental consequences she would receive. If she saw unnatural and immoral events, Elis was ready to immediately turn her eyes away.

She was ready for it. Or rather, she thought she was ready.

When she remembered Erend Drake and the other two, her guilt felt like it could explode in her heart.

Elis drank her milk in a hurry. She finally could control the pounding in her chest.

Elis then closed her books and left the study room.

After that, she went into her bedroom and lay down on her bed. Even though she didn't know if she could sleep or not, Elis closed her eyes.

"She is the woman who somehow found a way to open the Portal," Erend explained to Aurdis.

It was only a moment ago that the Portal opened before them.

A strange coincidence. As soon as they decided to walk and chat for a while in this park, suddenly a portal opened in front of them.

"How can a human open it?" Aurdis was very confused.

Erend shook his head. "I don't know."

"You have to say a certain Quenya to be able to open the Portal to this Realm. How..." Aurdis didn't know what happened.

How could a human have the ability, not only understand Quenya but find the right words to open the Portal?

While Aurdis thought about how that could happen, Erend thought of a plan to use that woman to clear their names.

He didn't know if it was possible. There was very little chance that she would cooperate. But still worth a try.

"Can you open the Portal to that place again?" Erend asked Aurdis.

"Yes." Aurdis nodded. "What are you going to do?"

Erend explains to Aurdis his plan.

"What should we do now?" LTC. Ibis asked.

LTC. Coil who was sitting in front of him drank his coffee. "I don't know."

"What do you mean I don't know?" LTC. Ibis looks irritated.

"I don't have any ideas at this point. Not yet," LTC. Coil said.

LTC. Ibis let out a long breath. Then said, "What is Elis doing? Did she find anything?"

"I think she's still busy translating the book. Let's just leave the nerd to work. Maybe she'll find something good," LTC. Coil said. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

LTC Ibis snorted at the thought of Elis. "That woman would do anything as long as she could touch the book. Including betraying her country."

"Aren't we just the same?" LTC. Coil said.

LTC. Ibis snorted again then chuckled. "You're right."

After that LTC. Ibis drank his own coffee.

"Hey, I just got a great idea," LTC. Coil said.

"What's that?" LTC. Ibis looks excited.

"Well, it's kinda evil," LTC. Coil said. "How about we use their family?"

"Adrien's family and the other two?" LTC. Ibis frowned. Feeling a little conflicted. His face describes his feelings.

"We're already here. You think there's going to be a way back for us?" LTC. Coil looked at his worried friend.

Seeing the look in his friend's eyes and hearing his words, LTC. Ibis concluded. It didn't take him long to conclude since there was only one path they could take.

"Okay," LTC. Ibis said.

LTC. Coil nodded. They then proceeded to think of the plan they would take next.

Erend had already told about what he had just experienced with Lt. Boartusk and Billy.

"Wow, what kind of coincidence is that?" Billy said, astonished.

"A good coincidence," Erend said. "Now we have to put it to good use."

"You want to persuade that woman to help as a witness to clear our names?" Lt.Boartusk asked.

"Yes," Erend nodded firmly. "That way our evidence will be stronger."

"But are you sure she will cooperate?" Lt. Boartusk looked unconvinced. "From the start, she was involved in all this, she must have known all about their plans and she was still involved in it."

"Yeah, that woman must have known we were going to be framed too but she agreed anyway," Billy added.

"Somehow I had a feeling she would be willing to help us," Erend said.

That statement without clear logic made Lt. Boartusk and Billy exchange glances.

"Hey, we have to try everything possible, right?" Erend said.

"Well," Lt.Boartusk sighed. "If you say so."

"If that's the case, we have to do it as quickly as possible," Billy said. "Since yesterday I had a bad feeling about my family."
