Possessing Nothing

From Genevis to Odun. Lee Sung-min didn't take off his mask except when he ate.

The Ghost Mask received from the tetrarch was now as familiar as a part of the body for Lee Sung-min.

I am familiar with the sensation of disconnection that suppresses internal air and force.

While wearing a mask, Lee Sung-min did not use internal air or force.

Instead, what he used was the power of the Dragonheart melted in his body.

It was a force completely different from magic, and no one could figure out what it was.

Perhaps Si 'r, the Blue Horse Master, can tell you the answer to that.

It is because Xiao was not only an ancient magician, but now an expert on the lost dragons as well.

Odun was large enough to be called a metropolitan city, and the first impression he saw was of the ancient ruins.

The outskirts of the city were packed with various historical sites like cultural heritage sites and quite a lot of tourists.

Lee Seong-min didn't come here for a sightseeing trip to Odun, so she passed the ruins and headed straight for the Blue Tower.

I did not promise to meet in advance. It was because I had promised to meet him beforehand and thought I might get involved in something annoying.

Lee Sung-min had face-to-face conversations with Si 'r, the Blue Horse Juju, and had not heard any bad rumors about him, but he did not believe him.

They are in different positions from each other.

The star that Lee Sung-min has is not accepted by most people as a friend.

Even a few years ago, Lee Sung-min, who had been accused of the death of an iron stockbroker, the death of a zebra child, and the death of a mouthpiece, was called Mein.

Even though I did not show up recently, the handiwork of the Muslim blind acted brilliantly, putting the mark of the devil on Lee Sung-min.

The Muslim blind are a large group, and have had many relationships over the years. I have a close relationship with the Wizard Guild as well.

At the time of his appointments with Xiao in advance, Lee could not be sure that he would not tell the truth.

Although the nobleman was not known for his possession of the Dragon Heart, he could not trust Xiao after leaving his relationship with the Muslim blind.

That is why we are careful.

‘It might seem a bit rude. ’

Lee looked up at the tower. He looks around, widens his senses.

Various enchantments were detected. Infiltration on the outskirts is impossible. Even with the wind trust, it was difficult to break through without getting caught in that complex magical security.

Lee entered the entrance of the Horse Tower quietly. He approaches the lobby window on the first floor and talks to you.

“I'm here to see Xiaos. ”

“Do you have an appointment? ”

The man wizard wearing glasses asked immediately. At that, Seong-min nodded his head.

Then the man wizard opened his eyes and asked again.

“I haven't heard anything about today...? ”

“No way. I'm sure I told him I'd visit him today. ”

“Yes……? ”

Lee told a lie with a cheeky face. Then the wizard looks confused and asks again.

“Maybe you got the date wrong? ”

“No, it has to be today. Did Si 'r not show up? ”

“No…… that's not it. He's up there... ”

“Lend me a pen and paper. ”

After confirming that Xiao was in the tower, Lee Sung-min asked the wizard for a pen and paper.

He hesitated and took out a pen and paper and gave it to Lee Sung-min. Lee wrote quickly on the paper.

Dragon heart.

After writing it down, I folded up the page and returned it to the wizard.

“Please pass it on to Xiaos. ”

“Oh… yes. Just a moment, please? ”

The wizard said so and left. Soon after, the Wizard returns.

“Come this way. ”

Seeing the letter Dragon Heart, Si 'r seems to have figured out who was looking for him.

This will suffice. Even if he is malicious and pressuring isomers, there will be limits to the preparations he can make after a sudden visit like this.

The Dragon Heart is worth it.

Especially because the Wizards are incredibly aggressive at attracting their own interests and greed.

Xiao's room is on the top floor of the tower. The person who opened the door and faced him was an elderly man who looked like he had a long crooked beard.

The old man glanced at Lee Sung-min, pushing up his glasses across Maburiko with his fingertips.

“I can't believe you didn't make an appointment. ”

Xiao grumbles.

Lee Sung-min shrugged his shoulders and did not react. It was because he knew the visit was rude.

“I came on my way. ”

“No matter how much you say it, you have to say it at least a day in advance. ”

“I heard you don't have plans today. ”

“What does it matter? ”

Xiao reacted to Lee Sung-min's shameless attitude.

He took off his pushed glasses and stared at Lee Sung-min. The fierce gaze was not taken lightly, and Lee Sung-min approached Xiao.

“This is the first time I've actually seen it. ”

“Last time I had a little chat with Erebria. But what? What about the mask?”

Xiaos raises his hand to point to the mask that Lee Sung-min is wearing.

“I'm writing because I have a reason. ”

“They don't look like ordinary masks... Well, it doesn't matter. ”

Xiao leans up, mumbling like that. He glanced up and down and asked.

“It was a year ago that you ate the Dragon Heart. She's almost two years old. Has anything changed? ”

It would be better to show it to them than to say it. Lee Sung-min consciously raised the dragon's refresher.

It used to be a power I couldn't perceive and handle, but it must have been because I spent a year in a mask.

Now I was able to pull the dragon's refresher out of my consciousness.

A sinister presence rises from the rational mind.

The existence of an arrogant race who despises everything and claims to be the greatest.

Xiao nodded his head while looking at Lee Sung-min with a stiff face.

“Indeed. Is this the refresher of the dragon...?" ”

“Have you ever felt it before? ”

“No way. The dragon hid itself hundreds of years ago. But there's a lot of history. I... I feel like this. Their records were different, but they had the same meaning. It's like a mouse in front of a cat. I think I know what you mean. ”

Xiao nods, expressing a satisfactory expression. The hidden dragon is now an object of attractive exploration for wizards.

It's because magic and dragons are so tightly intertwined that we can say that the origin of magic is dragons.

“Too bad it's nothing compared to a real dragon. I thought the great power of Dragon Heart was impossible for a human being to wield entirely, but apparently not. Or are you something special? ”

“If it's special, it's special. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“My body is much different from the human body. ”

“I wish I could dissect it. ”

He smiled and tasted sorry for him.

Xiao seemed to want to dissect him secretly, but he certainly did not allow him to.

Instead, he briefly informed Sios about his current condition to change the subject.

We don't talk about the Black Heart. I just told him that Dragonheart's magic had melted inside his body, making him a force completely different from his magic.

“I don't know what to say. Can you pull it out? ”

Si 'r asked. It wasn't a difficult request. Lee Sung-min raised his fingertips. The power of the Dragon Heart is at your fingertips, not both powerfully and internally.

It was transparent white because it did not go through the Zixia ball. The power that bounced off his fingertips floats like bubble drops and approaches Xiaos.

“Hmm……. ”

Sios pulls out the wand and swings it. A complex magic circle formed in the air and wrapped around the bubble blown by Seong-min.

“Clearly. Not magic. ”

“What is it?”

“How do you understand Dragon Heart? ”

Xiao asked me another question.

“A giant mass of magical power. ”

“You're not wrong. ”

Xiao smiles, as if he knew.

“I've seen fragments of Dragon Hearts before. It was mostly a mass of magical power. But wasn't your intoxication a complete Dragon Heart? ”

Unfortunately, Xiaos clears his throat, adding words.

“The Dragon Heart is not just a mass of magical power. It's literally the heart of a dragon, and it's one organ. It didn't look like it. ”

Obviously, the Dragon Heart that Lee Seong-min had was more of a gem than an institution.

“The dragon's body structure is unclear…… but I've been studying dragons for a long time. In my hypothesis, the Dragon Heart is not just a mass of magical power. It's an organ that keeps dragons alive. Yeah, the heart. Just as a human heart spins blood, a dragon heart spins blood and magic into its body. ”

Sios pushes the wand and plunges it into a bubble drop. Then the forces that were coalesced like bubble drops scattered in all directions.

“The dragon's magic was very threatening in the records. Even a basic fireball is said to have catastrophic power if used by dragons. The difference between the imported magical power and the magical level was quite different, but I think... … the magical power I just used was different. Using magic that only dragons can wield, not ordinary magic. ”

“Does that make a difference in magical power? ”

“That's right. I'm not sure I'm dissecting it, but I don't think you got the power of the Dragon by eating the Dragon Heart." The heart itself is transformed to look like a Dragon Heart. And that's why we're able to harness these extraordinary forces. ”

Interesting thing to say. I haven't told you this kind of story, since I haven't told you, Osla, or Heju.

Lee Sung-min unconsciously patted his chest. Then, is the Black Heart transformed to resemble the Dragon Heart?

“I'd like to take some of your blood, if possible. Are you okay with that?”

“Why?”

“If you get blood, you'll know a lot without dissecting it. ”

“It's not that hard... ”

Lee Sung-min muttered and put his hand inside his chest. What he pulled out was a gold key from the dungeon.

I came to see him to find out about his current condition, but also to find out what this key is.

“What's that? ”

“I accidentally picked it up in the dungeon, and it belongs to me. ”

“Bound…? ”

I was interested in Xiao's eyes.

He glared at Lee Sung-min. Lee pushed the key that was placed on the palm of his hand in front of him so that it was easy for him to see.

Xiaos didn't touch the key, either because he had heard that it had been bound in advance. Instead, he picks up the wand and points to the key.

After a long lasting spell, a blue glow flashes from the end of the wand. His eyes widen.

“This... is an ancient text. ”

“Can you interpret it? ”

“Wait… wait. ”

Xiao frowns. He stands with the wand for a long time and focuses his mind.

It was to interpret the ancient letters that were implicated in the key, which were invisible to Lee Sung-min.

“So many... It's like a magic ritual... The library...? ”

“Library?”

“Library... this word is the library..." ”

Xiao grunts and groans. Although he is an expert in ancient texts and dragons, both are long gone.

There are only a tiny fraction of the ancient texts that remain in the records, and it is impossible to fully interpret a magic technique even if you know all of them.

“Th-the key... I think it's the key to... unlocking some library's magic... the library..." Is there some kind of library protected by ancient magic...? ”

Xiaos could not fully interpret the ancient language that was tied to the key. What you need to get into a library.

That's all he knew, and he had no choice but to feel sorry for her.

I was on my way to Samaria, but I came to expect a lot, because I didn't hear much about the key.

In the end, Lee Sung-min finished meeting with him by handing him a few drops of blood, as he asked.

“Are you leaving Odun? ”

“The business in this city is done. ”

Xiao expressions a slight regret. Apparently, he didn't give up on the idea of wanting to dissect Lee.

[Library, Key... I don't know what you're talking about.]

He grumbles as he leaves the horse tower. Lee grimaced as he grabbed the key that was in his chest.

It must be important, but there is very little information.

‘Maybe later. Haras isn't far from here. ’

Lee Seong-min gave up the Sovereignty right away.
