192. Where the sky becomes thin (3)
#192
“Let’s go in and talk.”
Navardose pulled the doorknob. The huge door opened so smoothly that it was hard to believe it had been left unattended for hundreds of years. Ronan’s eyes widened when he saw the inside.
‘Why are you so ordinary?’
The room, which was just the right size for two people, felt ideally comfortable. Contrary to Ronan’s expectation that it would be as bizarre as Jardin’s or Professor Secrit’s office, it was filled with only really necessary and ubiquitous items.
There was a long stone desk, and a table and chairs for eating. Judging by the fact that they had two private beds, it didn’t seem like they were in that kind of relationship. Or maybe they were perverts who enjoyed close contact due to narrow-mindedness.
When I glanced at the desk, I couldn’t find a single speck of dust. Ronan tilted his head.
“Didn’t you say it was abandoned for hundreds of years?”
“I put a spell on it to keep it clean. In case the child comes back… Well, since the son came to visit me, I guess we can say he has achieved his goal to some extent.”
Navardose was looking around the room with eyes dripping with longing. The time I spent with my father was only three years. From the dragon’s point of view, it was only a moment, but he seemed to be quite affectionate.
“This is a room that existed before this fortress was built. Drimoor was built on the ground that was scooped up around here. ■■ was also the designer of this fortress.”
“Your father designed this fortress?”
“okay. He desperately tried to convince me that it was necessary to stop the enemy coming from beyond the sky. “I accepted because I liked the guts of telling him to eat me if what he said was false, and as you can see, it was the right decision.”
Navardose laughed. It seemed like she wasn’t a normal crazy person when she said things like that to the mother of fire. She sat down on her bed and spoke.
“Now tell me. “How do you know Elthea?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
For a moment, Ronan was speechless. It was a very complicated story to tell the truth. My father, who is believed to be the current Nebula Clazier cult leader, placed a curse on me, and in order to lift the curse, I went to the world of images, where he possessed the body of the first Nebula Clazier cult leader, and the woman who was his right-hand woman was a crazy person named Elthea. I had to convey the sound persuasively.
‘I wouldn’t stab the person who saved my son. I even saved my daughter a while ago.’
Since I was talking about my deepest secret, I had to be even more careful. Still, Ronan soon made up his mind. In fact, Navardose’s innocence had already been proven in his previous life.
‘I did my best until the end.’
He had heard all too well how cruel the fight between Douaru and Navardose had been. Besides, there was no way a person wearing such a deadly flame sac could lie.
After organizing his thoughts, Ronan began to tell the story of what had happened so far. Except for the fact that she regressed which could be confusing to the information.
“curse···? aha. That’s why you don’t understand ■■’s name.”
“There’s a lot more than that. “Didn’t he mention the curse?”
“Unfortunately, that is the case. “I recently had a child, and I just left a message to wish you the best if I ever see you.”
Navargoze shook his head. Suddenly, a question passed through Ronan’s mind. It was a question she had been ignoring because she had always taken it for granted.
“Wait a minute, I want to ask you something. Navardose, I am sure that blah blah blah is my father. Is there any basis other than his appearance?”
“Because your age exactly matches the time when ■■ last visited me. I remember it accurately because it happened only a dozen years ago. You’re probably not asking about lifespan, are you? ■■ is like Lorhorn, whom you all know well…”
“Ah, I know that. “You don’t die naturally.”
It was a question that would not have been asked if the robber had not been a transcendent in the first place. At this point, it seemed certain that the person talking incomprehensibly was my father. Navardose said.
“To go back to Elthea’s story… She came to see me with ■■ about a thousand years ago. She referred to herself as ■■’s assistant.”
“Josura.”
“okay. Anyway, unlike ■■ who disappeared in an instant, Elthea was here in Drimore until recently. “He was the most outstanding spirit master I’ve ever seen, and I was very sad that he suddenly left.”
“If recently, when? “I think it would be sad if it were dragon standards.”
“About five years. “It really hasn’t been that long.”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. Certainly, five years was not a very long time even by human standards. If Elsia could be found, he had to meet her as soon as possible. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask right now.
In the end, you can answer questions such as whether you left Nebula Clazier, whether the person who came with you is really a robber, who currently leads Nebula Clazier, and why you helped your father, literally. It was the woman holding the key. Ronan asked, his eyes shining as he discovered some possibility.
“Do you know where Elthea went?”
“I remember it. I don’t think it will be of much help. “I simply answered that it was the North.”
“North?”
“okay. “If you search the room, you might find something.”
Navardose explained that he gave her a huge severance pay when she left, but did not ask any questions. Because I thought there must be a reason.
Ronan twisted his lips as he looked around the room. There didn’t seem to be any space to hide anything. He brushed his bangs away and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you, Navardose. “I’ll take a look.”
“Thank you. “I was just telling you what I know.”
“Well, I’d like to ask you one more question, is it okay?”
“of course.”
“How much longer can you hold out?”
Navardose’s face stiffened at the sudden question. It was like an arrow that pierced the point. After being silent for a moment, she raised the corners of her mouth awkwardly.
“···Did you notice?”
“yes. “I don’t think it’s the first time a crack has occurred today.”
“Ahaha… you have a good sense of vision.”
Navardose smiled bitterly. She avoided her gaze as if she was not worthy and opened her mouth.
“5 years at most… no, maybe 7 years.”
“also.”
Ronan clenched his fists. She had been hinting that Beni Hardo and Iraniel had been overly skilled in dealing with them. The lifespan of the shield blocking the two skies is running out. Navarre continued with his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
“The aging of the defense shield is aging, but the biggest problem is that those disgusting bastards are getting stronger. Until just a hundred years ago, there was no monster that the fire of Bnihardo could not burn. “In the future, there may be something that even I can’t handle.”
“Can’t we repair or strengthen the shield?”
“It’s impossible. ■■ called it armor. “It is a protective shield that has been present since the stars we live on were born, but it can never be restored using normal methods.”
Navardose explained that a supernatural protective shield called armor evenly surrounds the entire star. The shield that existed even before the first embers bloomed played the role of protecting the star and the life living on it from the external enemies he had cut down a moment ago.
However, for some reason, part of the armor was worn out, creating an environment where external enemies could invade. The monsters that came from the sky outside of the sky, no matter how seemingly insignificant they were, had incredibly strong powers, so it was obvious that if their invasion was left unattended, not only the empire but also the world would be destroyed.
That was why Drimoor was built. To somehow block out the thinning sky as time passes. Ronan, who was putting the puzzle together while recalling memories of her past life, twisted her mouth.
‘It’s amazingly fitting. ‘Seven years.’
Seven years from now coincided exactly with the time when the giants came down. If nothing else, it seemed certain that the collapse of the Drimoore defense line was related to the Advent incident.
‘Are those bald guys the same type as those guys? From beyond the sky…’
This was a question I had from the moment I saw the monster’s true form. Of course, the winged bald heads were overwhelmingly stronger in all aspects, but the unique sense of heterogeneity that was not found in the original world felt very similar to the ugly monsters. After finishing his explanation, Navardose stood up from his seat.
“So ■■ left. “To find a way to save everyone.”

“How to save everyone?”
“okay. The reason ■■ stayed here in the first place was for that research. Such as creating a shield comparable to star armor or allowing others to wield the same power as oneself. Anyway, he was an amazing kid.”
Suddenly, Navardose caressed Ronan’s cheek. It was still a warm hand. Her Ronan could feel her searching for her memories of her father in her own face. At that time, she said to Navarro, who was fiddling with her earlobe, as if she had thought of something.
“Now that I think about it, child, I remembered the prize I would like to give you.”
“yes?”
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Navardose smiled.
“Just lie down on the bed.”
“···yes?”
“hurry. “We don’t know when they might attack again, so let’s finish this quickly.”
There was not a single hesitation in Navardose’s tone of voice. As many thoughts passed through my head, the surrounding scenery looked completely different. Secret room, bed. And a beautiful lady. Unfortunately, the lighting was also red, which made the accident even more biased. Ronan stepped back in embarrassment.
“Well, I’m not confident about rushing things.”
“I will take care of it, so don’t worry. By the way, take off your shirt too.”
“It’s up to you!”
Ronan took a deep breath. Is this the dragon married woman? Was this evil dragon targeting me from the beginning to lure me underground? Ronan took off his shirt and lay down while admiring the meticulousness of the immortal race.
“I lay down.”
“okay. He’s nice. “Relax your body.”
Because the flame pocket was so vicious, I couldn’t see her face while lying down. iced coffee! This is why I should have listened to my sister who told me not to carelessly follow strangers!
If I refused, I would be reduced to ashes, so this was something that could not be helped. He was making a desperately sad expression. An unexpected line flowed from Navardose’s mouth.
“I know that the curse that binds you is not normal.”
“yes? What happened suddenly…”
“■■ was also really terrible. No matter how well you mean it, you would do something like this to a child. “I believe in ■■, but I think this is a little off.”
Navardose clicked his tongue. It was only when Ronan lifted her head that he noticed that she was looking at the spot where her own heart was.
“Can it be said that compensation is also a curse?”
“okay. But even if you could forcefully remove the curse, your body wouldn’t be able to withstand it. But there is just one magic that comes from fire. “I think we can do something about that one thing.”
Unfortunately, what Ronan had guessed did not happen. However, the compensation she offered was so great that her regret was forgotten. Ronan asked her, calming her emotions.
“···What can I do?”
“nothing. Like I said, just relax and lie down.”
“I like that because it’s so simple.”
I couldn’t believe it. Every time I lifted a curse, I felt all kinds of evil, but I never thought that it would be done in this way. Navarre said as he placed his hand on Ronan’s chest.
“Relax. “It’s only the first time it hurts.”
“Are you saying that on purpose from earlier?”
Navardose laughed instead of answering. The red dragon’s unique body temperature was reaching the heart. Navardose, who was closely examining Ronan’s heart, laughed as if he was fed up.
“Looking at it now, I see that there are so many things to grow. “It’s not easy to do this.”
“I didn’t want to end up like this.”
“There are six curses in total… I don’t know how this is possible, but some of them were combined together to form a core… Um, what is this? “It looks familiar, but I don’t know what it is.”
Navardose tilted his head. It seemed like there was something inside her heart that she didn’t even know about. Ronan, who had come up with a strong candidate, was about to say something. Navarre also shook her head as if I was no big deal.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter.”
“Ugh?!”
In an instant, her hands turned red. A fierce heat assaulted Ronan’s heart.
