Have a Meal Before You Go

In the past, this mountain was called Palbongsan.

There were constant irregular earthquakes all around Palbongsan.

Palace- Palace-

The trees are shaking and the birds are flying black. Rats and small mountain beasts were fleeing the burinake.

Chulho looked around quietly.

Over there, normal.

The energy is rising from the summit.

“Let's see. ”

The Khan nods only after looking around the summit.

“I see.”

“It's a dragon, right? ”

“Uh, black dragon. ”

Khan thought about it quietly. Last time I was admitted to Cipher School, I learned about the Black Dragon 30 years ago.

I told Chulho a simple story.

“Really?"

Chulho opened his eyes as if he had never known. It was a black dragon, and I thought that if I helped people, I might be like that dragon in the past.

Thirty years ago. ’

The timing is unfortunately perfect.

“A dragon board, a dragon board. There are lizards everywhere. ”

Echo grumbles, the sheep grumbling. Within a few moments, three men and a woman sat on a flat rock on top of the summit.

“How long will it take? ”

“About an hour or two? ”

Echo frowns at Khan's words.

“If he wakes up, he'll wake up right away. Why is he so preoccupied? ”

“Take a look, you stupid Demon King. ”

Khan opens his mouth, gazing at Echo with his pathetic eyes.

“Now, you've been asleep for 30 years. Lie straight down. But what do I do before I go to bed? ”

“You have to brush your teeth. ”

“Not that one. ”

“Wash. ”

“No, you idiot! He might be screaming, so we have to shut him down! Or he could hide his power completely! I don't even know if I'm there! ”

The room is full of shouts.

Echo chuckles. Then the face of the car turned red, realizing that it had been mocked.

“Oh, by the way, it's a process of disarming it. ”

“....... ”

Aramin, who was looking back at him, whispered to Cheolho.

“Hey, Steelho. ”

“Yes.”

“Those are the Demon King and the Dragon, aren't they? ”

“That's right."

“That's odd. You two have different identities, but you seem to be very close. ”

Kugu Palace!

Soon, a large cave appeared on the other side. Cheolho stood up.

“Let's go.”

* * *

Kugu!

Kugu Palace!

Boom, boom, boom! The lightning struck. The ritual is almost over.

The cavernous interior is quite spacious and cozy. At the deepest part of the cave was a giant crystal. The size is very small in human form.

Kugu Palace!

Rrrrrrrrrrrr!

Creepy roars echo through the entire mountain. Echo looks at the other side with an interesting face and asks.

“With wings spread out, left and right, and up into the sky? ”

“....... ”

“The dragon used to love that. ”

Khan frowns.

Fascist!

Steam comes out of the crystal, but a small figure emerges from the prison.

Echo's face was long gone.

Male form. Skin is black. It was the color of a Mediterranean fisherman's tan. What appeared in the crystal was definitely the old Fatah that Chulho remembered.

“....... ”

Pata grew a very hot beard. His beard was almost down to his belly button, but his hair was also very long and spattering.

He was also a sturdy type of dwarf. Well, there's no such thing as Dwarves. The biggest thing was that he was a blacksmith.

If there's a problem, you're barefoot.

Actually, there were a lot of problems, even though it was backwards. The biggest problem is the former Demon King Echo.

Pata seemed very upset. However, his eyes were full of life while watching Echo.

Pot!

At the same time, you rush towards Echo. The energy of the Black Mane blossoms from Pata's hands, producing a massive hammer.

Whoo-hoo!

Kwajijijik!

Echo quickly dodges.

“Why is the damn Demon King here? ”

Pata yelled at Echo in the language of the Espan continent.

Whoo-hoo!

The black energy clumps and the hammer becomes even bigger.

Kwajijijik!

One of the walls quickly dodges Echo, and the warp falls down. It was a terrifying weapon.

Echo avoids cooking and hides behind Cheolho.

“Well, do something about it. ”

Whoo-hoo!

Pata's wicked black hammer flies to Cheolho. Chulho raises his left index finger.

Tongue!

“Oops!”

The hammer is blocked very lightly. Cheolho smiled.

“Good night? ”

“What?"

Then Pata looked closely at Chulho. You tilt your head slightly, then stand back.

“Could it be….. a maze? ”

“Yes.”

Chulho smiled softly.

“We have a lot to talk about. It's been a long time, Mr. Pata. ”

.

If you want the misunderstanding to be easy, it's too much.

Pata is on high alert for Echo. Since it was understandable enough, Chulho recommended a drink without saying anything.

“Maze....... you've become very strong, haven't you? ”

“I'm seeing things. ”

Chulho told me his story. Pata groans at the news that Aramir Lantero has gone into hibernation. And I couldn't believe the news that Echo was resurrected in its own way.

Well, maybe that's natural.

Echo walked into the dining room, playing Cesse with Tangerine, and watched it flow this way.

“...... How are you? ”

Pata looked at Cheolho and asked. The voice was full of regret. At the same time, he seemed quite surprised.

“Humans die of old age quickly, but they don't seem to be any different from 30 years ago. Your age. ”

“Hmmm….. how did I see it? I'm not sure why that is. ”

Time passed quickly as we talked about it one by one. It was around the time that Chulho came to this land, including the story of Echo's rehabilitation.

The sun rises in the middle.

Dinner is closed today.

Suddenly I was curious.

“By the way, Pata has been in hibernation for 30 years, right? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“I came to this world 30 years ago. ”

“That's right."

“At that time, who were you fighting to put you to sleep? With a dragon the size of Pata, there should be very few who can't win. ”

“At that time? ”

Suddenly, he was very ashamed. He rolls his eyes and whispers to Iron Hoe's ear.

“I fought the sword. ”

“.......? ”

“You won't believe it, but it's true. I fought the sword. One sword. It's ridiculous, but it's true. ”

“A sword.”

“Thirty years ago, I felt like I was caught in a dimensional crack while catching a monster that had spilled into Maze Town. So I came to this world.......”

Pata scratched her glabella. Then I drank a shot of the Plum that Cheolho had followed me to.

“I felt strong Magi inside a gate. Monsters were pouring in there. Like pups popping out of a spider's nest, it's very upscale. ”

He folds his arms and speaks.

“So I went into the gate. And I found a sword in it. There was no one moving in the black, and she was giving out some really nasty Margie. ”

“...... ”

“I fought the sword. The black was fast, sharp, strong. My hammer couldn't hold out, and I couldn't even fight back after turning into a dragon! ”

He recalls a painful memory of his past and trembles.

A sword.

Chulho thought.

‘Sword of the Covenant. ’

It was an item from the Black Magic System of the Covenant.

The eight chieftains who were sleeping in the sword said the early Demon King had kept them there.

‘Seal.’

Dragons go into hibernation. Why? To regain the magic I lost and become stronger.

The Horses also go into hibernation. The reason is like dragons.

Conceal yourself before going into hibernation. To stop the screaming.

‘Is that the sword at that time? ’

Chulho wondered, is it the sword possessed by the power of the early Demon King?

“I have been critically wounded. I was never the opponent. The former blacksmith ran away because he couldn't beat a single sword. ”

Pata was bitter.

Suddenly, I asked Khan who had heard an interesting story next to Cheolho.

“You look like your own kind. Where are you from? ”

“Dragon Mountain. ”

“Dragon Mountain? The Red Dragon clan? ”

“Yes.”

Khan nods.

“So you know Lex? ”

“I know.”

“How is Lex? ”

“You must be..."

The column mutters bitterly. Chulho added.

“Son of Echmund Rex. His name is Echmund Khan. ”

“What are you doing?”

Pata seemed surprised. At that time, Echo in the tangerine in the room came out. Tangerine seemed excited to meet her fellow dragon.

Echo walked to Pata's side with a reluctant face, placing the tangerines on the table.

“This is Tangerine. It's Khan's brother.”

“....... ”

Pata's eyes are wide open. Tangerine stood in front of Pata with a big smile. And with an interesting face, I touched Pata's beard.

“It's long! ”

“....... ”

“Oh, Jo Su Mia, give me a long time. He said he's pulling up wool. ”

“Papa?”

Chulho gave Pata a slight earful.

“I'm doing his surrogate father. ”

Pata seems to be in a state of confusion. He cleared his mind for a moment.

“So, the maze. You mean like in this restaurant, with the Demon King and two dragons and a dragon and all? ”

“Well, something like that. There are some horses, and I'm going to show you slowly. ”

Pata received a tangerine.

The voice of the man touching his beard in Pata's arms didn't seem to reach my ears.

Looks like this Black Dragon will take a while to acclimatize.

“Oh dear.”

Chulho told Khan.

“Khan, bring me the Hangul book you learned. Mr. Pata, you don't even know the language of this world, do you? ”

Pata nods with a frown.

.

Choi Jae-woo was also busy today. As he crosses the alley like dawn, he suddenly stops. Then I took a step back and turned my eyes to the sign on the store that just passed by.

[Iron Water Spot]

“Hardware store?”

It was built right in front of the alleyway leading into the diner. In other words, Flower Suns are across the street from the flower shop.

“What's with the hardware store? ”

Suddenly the door opened and the hardware store owner appeared. He was a middle-aged man with a very hot, fluffy beard who swept his hair clean and tied himself up.

“Oh, hello! ”

Choi Jae-woo greeted me strangely. The middle-aged man rolls his eyes and just goes back into the shop.

‘What.’

Somehow, Choi Jae-woo, who was afraid of the man who was under pressure, was about to go to the rice house.

In it, a man reappeared. He holds a small book in his hand. The man who was looking carefully at it opened his mouth slowly.

“I, hello, you too, hello? ”

“....... ”

Choi Jae-woo glanced at him and smiled. I think he's a foreigner.

“Yes! Good morning? ”

< I, Hi, Do. > End
