Kill the Dragon

00074 # 13 Chronos

- I'm going too. Helmet coolant. And the principle is to move in pairs.

Silence misled the letters, omitting them sparsely. Lee Han nodded. Silence was right. Even if this is a safe zone, we have to move in groups of two.

Lee Han and Silence followed the researchers. A simple lift is installed down the canyon. More than 20 people can climb up and down.

Yippee!

The electric sheave shifts. The elevator shakes sharply and slowly. Lee looked at the researchers. They were very interested in the remains of the dragons found here. Maybe it's a clue to unlock a dragon's secrets.

- If I fall, I'll die.

Silence patted Lee on the shoulder. Lee also swallowed a little. I can't see the end of the bottom.

“Don't say anything ominous. ”

Lee cut Silence right off.

“Is this it?”

The chief researcher said they looked at the dim cliffs. I turned on the light and lit up my surroundings.

“Dragon.... ”

Everyone burst into elasticity. The dragon's bones are embedded in the cliff. It was not intact, but the bone that was left was shaped.

“At least it's Bahamut. Not just any dragon. ”

“How long have you been buried here? ”

The researchers said that the woman who brought her looked at her and Silence.

“Test me. Boy soldiers.”

Lee took off his gloves and nodded.

‘If this really is the bone of a dragon, it will respond to a psychic. ’

Lee went forward through the researchers. Researchers split the way to the left and to the right.

“Let's get started.”

Lee Han said, touching the dragon's ribs. Lee Han was stabbed all over like he was electrocuted. His eyes glow blue.

Whoo-hoo!

From his fingertips, the psychic energy spread. The Psychic ascent to the dragon's bones shines brightly. The dragon's entire remains sparkled with psychics. The scene was a kind of wonder. The researchers stared at him, mesmerized.

Tuck!

Chance finds something, and Silence grabs her. Lee Han held hands on the bones.

“Thank you.”

Lee used up a lot of psychic energy. The bones of the dragons didn't know to stop their psychic absorption. I sucked the psychic like a dry sponge for a long time. When Lee couldn't take his hands off easily, Silence pulled on him.

“Definitely dragon bones. Leave it to us from now on. Well done."

Researchers told Ihan. One more elevator descends to the side. Lee Han and Silence were going up the elevator. From now on, researchers have become busy. Ihan and Silence climb up the canyon.

- It was a real dragon.

“It's been a while, hasn't it? ”

- Dragons exist in two realms.

“Was it there before the invasion? ”

No matter how hard you try, there is no right answer. That's for researchers. Researchers seem excited about the new information. It is also very important for them to reveal the origin of the dragon.

“Hey! How was it? ”

Knut speaks in a powerful voice. Lee looked at Knut with a curious face. It was Knute, who was dying half to death in heat until now. It is now a very cheerful voice.

Thung! Thung!

Knut was playing soccer with the local soldiers. It was a light 5: 5 football. Rare men don't know soccer without speaking.

“It really is the bones of a dragon. ”

Lee said, Knut wipes his sweat and laughs. A group of local soldiers who were friends with soccer said something to Knut. The pronunciation was incorrect in English. Knut nods, understanding with a gesture of his hand.

“Take a good look. This is the second. Power. Power. ”

Whoo-hoo!

Knut floats the soccer ball in the air with his mind.

“Oh!”

The local soldiers were impressed. Some clapped. Lee looked around with his eyes open. Soldiers near Knut were favorable to Saiker. On the contrary, there were some who looked at the biker with bad eyes.

“You're acting like a zoo monkey. We're not a sight for sore eyes. ”

Simon doesn't seem to like Knut's behavior.

‘It seems Simon's personality has become more harsh lately. ’

Lee thinks, "The old Simon doesn't have his age, but he's not this hysterical." I feel like I've got something on my mind right now, but I don't think I like what happened.

Simon's nervous. I was distressed that I was no longer outstanding.

‘Dammit, what am I, a genius? ’

Simon mutters as he returns to the Sookmyung tent. He also knows that Lee Han has a strong relationship with the fourth technology team. Rumor has it that Lee Han is likely to become the first Second Generation Reinforced Soldier.

‘I've been pretending to be a genius among fools. ’

Simon didn't get out of self-immolation easily. He also tried to be nice to others. However, it was not easy because of the inferiority I had heard of lately.

“Phew.”

Simon sighs and lies down in Sookmyung's tent. There are all the necessary facilities in the single-person tent. He was also in a corner, wanting to get along with Lee Han.

‘The fact that you chose me as a squad is proof of your trust. ’

Lee Han is a great squad captain. Even Simon admitted that.

“Simon, I'm going to play cards in the Knute tent. ”

Lee said outside the tent. Simon, who was laid bare, looked at Lee Han in the shadows.

“No, I'm going to rest because I'm tired. ”

Lee thought Simon would say no. It was just a story I brought up to talk to him.

“... Have you been having a bad day lately? ”

It was a proper horse. Simon frowns.

“Just like that. Never mind.”

“Simon, I'm not worried about you. I chose you to be a squad member because of your best condition. If you're different from the Simon I know, I'm in trouble on the operation. ”

“Me? You're joking. I don't have an ankle. How many times do you think I saved your life? ”

At Simon's words, Lee closed his eyes for a moment. I've been thinking about my operation with Simon.

“Was it three times? ”

“I'm well aware. Have fun with my life. ”

Lee scratched his head and passed Simon's tent.

‘It's a personal concern. ’

Lee didn't want to see Simon's insides anymore. Lee came to his senses even in the last Silence case. Respect each other's privacy. There are a few things that everyone doesn't want to share with others.

“What about Simon?"

Knut, who was pulling cards out of the tent, said.

“He wants to sleep first. ”

Lee sat down and melted a piece of chocolate in his mouth.

“I got rougher while I didn't see him. ”

“There must have been some mental impact on the T-Reyna dimensional fracture. I'm not sure what it is. ”

Lee's feelings were sharp. Somewhat fitting However, I didn't have enough life experience to know the depths of it. Except for Simon, the boys spent the rest of their time playing cards. When the cool night air gripped, everyone returned to their tent.

On the second day, gear was reinforced from the arc. The excavation equipment arrived once it was confirmed that it was a dragon remains. Dragon bones are a valuable resource. From Arc's point of view, money is irreversible. Without dragon material, there is no weapon to fight dragons.

“Hey, Squad Leader. What are we doing today? ”

Knut rises with a frizzy face. He yawned.

“It's just an atmosphere. And don't make contact with the local soldiers like you did yesterday. ”

Lee told Knut. Knut nods, seemingly untrustworthy.

‘It's good to be close, but you shouldn't make a fuss. ’

Lee knows more about complex relationships than other boys. Local soldiers, arc soldiers, researchers and sicker teams. Everyone has a purpose as a dragon tado, but the interests are mutual. It is best to remain silent in situations like this.

“I hope I get back soon. It's hot and weird.”

In one day, I felt uneasy with sand and dust. I wiped my face and body with a towel because there was no shower.

Lee looked at the soldiers passing by while emptying the towel. Soldiers with equipment all over their bodies.

It's overwhelming.

The expeditioners, equipped with equipment, head down the canyon. I was planning to explore the bottom of the canyon before the excavation. No one's ever been to the bottom of the canyon more than a decade ago.

“Turn on the lights. ”

I reached an area where the sun could not reach. The expedition turned on the headlights. A wall of moisture is visible. The cave smells humid. Sand is tangled in brown.

Tak.

The expedition wraps itself around a rope and knocks the floor with its shoes. Luckily, it was a hard floor.

“Well, it's nothing. ”

The leading expedition mutters. We don't think there's any danger here. It's just a formal investigation. The important thing now is to retrieve the dragon's bones safely.

“How do you feel about these kids? ”

Kids are meant to be Izzie's squad. Arc soldiers know that third-graders are very young. A third-grader can look as mature as an adult, but if you look closely, you'll notice that their faces are shrunk. As soldiers, the third graders are their youngest siblings and children.

“I've been calm. It's not useless. ”

Africa is a tricky place. This area has poor perception of Saikers, and even pure guerrillas are rarely hidden. Avoid friction with locals as much as possible.

“Split into two trillion. Spread out.”

The expedition was divided into two. They all chatted and walked into the darkness. It was a walkable mission, except for the humid and stuffy air.

“What a bunch of dragons. You built a canyon this deep with a single Bress. ”

The expedition looked up at the sky and said, The sky narrowed down to the canyon was a single beam of light.

“If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have to be so afraid. Did you see the Fossil Dragon before you got here? ”

“At first glance. Is this really an Ancient Fossil? ”

“Researchers say it wasn't a dragon that appeared at least 10 years ago. ”

“Are you saying that dragons can be Earthlings? ”

“That's what the geeks will find out. ”

The expedition takes a long walk and breathes. They circle around and sit on a boulder that pops out.

“Once upon a time, after I got an arrow in my knee, I felt a little bit of pain. ”

The expedition rubs its knees and says, It's a joke, but the dragon army uses a classic weapon. The sound of an arrowhead killing is no joke at this time.

“Don't get cocky. Get up. Joe on the other side said the search is over. ”

An expeditioner stands up to urge a colleague. The moment he reaches for the rock, his fingertips tingle. Fingers slashed on sharp rock corners.

“I didn't want you to rush me. ”

The expedition sucked his bloody finger with his mouth.

Grubby-.

The expedition stops moving. I heard something.

“Didn't you hear something? ”
