Episode 161 New Objective (5)
The sound of words echoed in the underground world, which was always silent and had not been visited by anyone for a long time.
“Roy, where are we?”
“Is it rare here? yes?”
The twins sit next to Lois and chatter away.
Their voices echoed in the underground space.
Lois nodded to their question.
“that’s right. It was rare. It’s empty now… … .”
Lois said and flinched in surprise.
‘Is this an empty rare?’
There were so many things different from what I knew from the original.
Who would have expected that in the place of the broken statue there would be a fully formed stone statue, that is, a statue of his mother.
Lois was now confused as to how much of the original story was true.
The twins, whether aware of Lois’s complexity or not, were still circling around her without any tension.
“Whose rare was it?”
“What happened to the original owner?”
“How did you know Roy was here?”
Questions pouring in endlessly.
Lois’ eyebrows twitched at the barrage of questions that made her ears tingle.
‘Ah-oh. really!’
Unlike when they were younger, the grown twins are now able to think quite a bit.
Although it took less effort in one way or another, it did have side effects.
If you have any questions, ask them right away.
Of course, the target of that question was Lois.
When it felt like her ears were bleeding from the barrage of questions, Lois finally put the guys to bed.
Just-just-.
“evil!”
“Ah-oh! “Why are you hitting me?”
“a little! “Do what you think before you ask me!”
“huh… … .”
“yes… … .”
The twins smack their foreheads together and stick out their cheeks.
However, he did not express any dissatisfaction to Lois.
Although the twins were bigger, this clearly showed that Lois was superior to them.
Lois, who had calmed down the twins, hurried on.
I wondered what to do if it wasn’t an empty rare, but that turned out to be pointless.
“There’s really nothing?”
As Carney said, the road Lois and her group took was quiet, but it was too quiet.
Without any risk.
After walking like that for a while, the moment a bright light appeared in front of them, Royce and the others stopped.
“and… … .”
“pretty… … .”
“Wow… … .”
The twins and Finn were amazed at the sight that unfolded before their eyes.
“How did they make this?”
“therefore.”
Apparently they entered the basement along a steep slope.
But what appeared before them was a forest.
Bright sunlight shining from the sky and a rippling stream.
A feast of white flowers in full bloom in a wide space.
Even the transparent crystals scattered here and there in the flower garden.
It was such a beautiful space that I wondered if this really was underground.
But Lois’ face was frozen as she looked at that scene.
He stared at the center of the flower field.
‘doesn’t exist… … .’
Clearly, this flower field was a location that appeared in the original work as well.
However, what was different from the original was that there was nothing that should have been in the center of the flower garden.
‘doesn’t exist! The dragon’s corpse!’
When a dragon reaches the end of its lifespan, it reduces its body to mana.
That was Dragon’s own funeral.
As a result, the dragon’s body could not be easily viewed, but the corpse of the dragon that could not be buried was left in its original state.
In the original work, such a corpse existed in this very flower field, and the soul of a dragon that could not find rest was next to it.
However, the flower garden in reality was very clean.
That sound again… … .
‘It means there are no souls left for the True Dragon Sword to absorb.’
The truth about the True Dragon Sword that was revealed in the latter half of the original work.
It was the special ability of the True Dragon Sword.
This unidentified black soul, of which no one knows who created it, is used as a power source.

The higher the level of the absorbed soul, the more powerful it is, and in the original work, the unsealed True Dragon Sword absorbs the souls of dragons that could not find rest in this flower field.
The sword that absorbed the dragon’s soul cut off the head of the light dragon and became the ‘True Dragon Sword’.
Lois didn’t like it.
‘It’s a sword that absorbs the dragon’s soul and kills another dragon… … .’
Moreover, it made me feel bad to think that the soul of a dragon that could not find rest even after death was being used to harm its own people.
That’s why Lois visited the Forest of Valena to free the souls of dragons that may have been exploited in the distant future.
But, unexpectedly, everything was resolved easily.
No, rather than saying it was resolved, the problem simply did not occur.
However, one thing.
A strange feeling of discomfort continued to get on Lois’ nerves.
Lois, who was worried, asked the twins who were looking at the flower field.
“Khan, Kani.”
“why?”
“huh?”
“This is the Dragon Lair, and the stone statue guarding the entrance looks exactly like my mother. “What does this mean?”
“Of course, this is Roy’s lady’s rare?”
“That’s it!”
“… yes? “You guys think so too, right?”
Lois was lost in thought as she looked at the twins who nodded.
‘If even those simple twins think like that… … .’
The given circumstances indicated that this empty rare was Valentina’s rare.
“okay… What are you doing worrying about? “The fastest way is to ask the person involved.”
He sighed slightly and took out the communication seat.
As the attribute power was injected, a signal went out, and soon a voice was heard.
[son!]
[son?]
Lois quickly picked up the main points and asked a question at the voices of Generoker and Valentina heard at the same time.
“Mom, I have a question. “Was your mother a monk named Balena, who was active about 1,500 years ago?”
[Ballet?]
“Why, at the northern end of the Spring Continent is called the Forest of Ballena.”
[Oh, there? that’s right! That’s mom!]
“The rare here in the middle of the forest… “Is this your mom’s too?”
[oh? Is your son there? Hehe, isn’t it pretty there? That’s where her mom lived before she met your dad.]
“Do you know any other dragons here?”
[Nothing? Did you understand?]
[No, I just heard it for the first time too? Were you Valena?]
[Why don’t you know that? How famous was I at the time!]
[Perhaps around the same time, I was creating a noble family on the Autumn Continent? But why were you like that then?]
[What was it… ah! I went out to look for a child to take care of my flower garden, and that’s what happened. I was planning to just find one or two elves and bring them, but later I found out that they had brought 200.]
[Anyway, you too… So what about those elf children?]
[When you moved here, you said you would follow me, so we all came to the Nokchi Mountains together.]
Before we know it, Lois is behind us and Generoker and Valentina are caught up in stories about their past.
Thanks to them, Lois was able to confirm the facts and realized the identity of the discomfort that had been irritating her.
His face hardened.
‘I couldn’t believe it… … .’
Lois, who woke up from secondary sleep, once had a problem.
Why is Genelocer the only light dragon in the original?
Given Valentina’s personality, she would have had to be quite the fanatic, right?
What happened to Lois’ mother in the original story?
Mixed with such questions was an incident that Lois experienced during her second sleep period.
Valentina was suspicious and monitored the forbidden human being.
Gene Locker stayed by her side.
A person who died after being caught in a trap he had set up in preparation for an external invasion.
There, Lois assumed all the conditions were reversed.
A human being who has been banned.
However, Valentina let her guard down and left the place.
A generoker who did not return from Eunhwaseong.
A human who harmed Lois, who was sleeping defenselessly and without any preparation.
In that way, Lois in the original would have died.
If that happened… … .
Would a mother have been okay in a situation where her child died due to her carelessness?
‘The father, who loved his son terribly, thought that humans were the culprit of all his mistakes and became a mad dragon, and the mother, who thought it was her fault that her son died… … .’
I was probably consumed by guilt.
And the result would be the dragon that died lonely in that flower field in the original work.
Due to the pain of losing her son, Valentina’s soul must have wandered, unable to find rest.
When Lois remembered this, the discomfort deepened in her heart.
‘My mother’s soul, struggling in pain and suffering, eventually became the blade that cut off my father’s leash, who had become a wild dragon.’
This is a setting that did not appear in the original work.
However, the hidden setting of the original story that Lois discovered could not have been more tragic.
Especially for Lois.
“Lois?”
“What’s going on?”
“Roy, are you okay?”
The group approached Lois’ serious face with concern.
Lois came to her senses and calmed down.
‘calm down. These are things that won’t happen anyway.’
Everything changed because of his involvement in this world and his survival.
The light dragon will not appear, and the mother will not die alone.
The moment I was calming down like that.
Lois’ face hardened again as she remembered something.
‘Come to think of it… How was this work completed?’
The group of protagonists who killed Gwangryong in the second half of the original work.
The entity that threatened the peace of the world disappeared, but the work did not end.
Also, before the webtoon was completed, my previous life self died.
An unfinished work.
The moment she remembered this, Lois’s backbone stood up.
‘I am… ‘I don’t know the end of this work.’
And he himself lives in such works.
It doesn’t matter as long as the work has a happy ending.
But what if it’s a bad ending?
What if it’s the end of the world and everyone dies?
There was no guarantee that something like that would happen, but on the other hand, there was no certainty that it wouldn’t happen either.
The ending of the original work is not set in stone.
Lois thought of this and laughed.
“under… “Why is it so hard to make a living?”
“Roy?”
“Lois?”
“… … ?”
The group gave strange looks to Lois’ muttering.
Lois waved her hand as if it was okay.
‘The fact that it is not complete even though Gwangryong is dead means that more events will occur after that.’
Because of what happened like that, the story would have headed in either direction, either a happy ending or a bad ending.
Therefore, Lois had to prepare.
This is the worst situation that will happen someday.
‘It’s Yubi Muhwan… … .’
Lois chuckled.
‘Good. I have a new goal.’
The purpose of this trip is to find out where to place the rare.
And the goal was to travel around the continent to find hidden pieces.
At first, since I only vaguely knew the future, I thought I would find the hidden piece.
But it was different now.
A precise purpose was created.
‘We must find the hidden pieces and prepare for the future.’
So that we can easily overcome even if an apocalyptic situation comes in the future.
To do so, you must find all the hidden pieces, make them your own, and become stronger.
Flash-.
A bright light appeared in Lois’ eyes as she found a new goal.
Even while Lois was lost in thought, Valentina and Generoker continued chatting.
Then Valentina asked.
[Lois, are you okay there? Then, my son, do you want to write that as a rare?]
[oh! Yes, yes! that’s good!]
Of course, Lois’ answer was simple.
“I’ll just find out. “I want to move into my new house.”
[okay… Go ahead.]
[…] I can’t help it.]
Lois chuckled at her parents’ sullen voices.
Lois spoke into the communication box.
Something I would never have said under normal circumstances.
I can say this today because I know the tragedy of the original work.
“mom and dad.”
[huh?]
[Why, son?]
“… i love you.”
His voice drifted into the communication box.
For a while, there was no word from the communication desk.
A moment later, there was an uproar beyond the communication desk.
[Ah, son, what now?]
[Ha, try one more time! Mom will record it right away!]
[Yes, yes! Try it one more time!]
Lois finished in a hurry due to the bustle felt in the communication room.
“Okay, then I’ll just leave. “I will contact you often!”
[Now, wait a minute, son!]
[Roy, do it one more time and then go!]
Lois put the communication seat in.
I was caught up in the atmosphere at the moment and spoke out, but after it was over, I felt embarrassed.
and.
“Ugh.”
“Hehehe.”
Looking at the twins smiling sinisterly in front of me, embarrassment followed by regret.
‘ah… ‘I should have done it somewhere without them.’
It was already too late to have such regrets.
“Khan, did you hear? “Mom, I love you dad!”
“You heard! Ugh.”
“Our Roy, you’re cute too!”
Carney smiled brightly and hugged Lois.
Lois shouted, her face turning red.
“why! what! “Well, what’s wrong!”
“Yes, yes. Roy, aren’t you lonely because you’re away from your parents? don’t worry. This Kani sister will comfort you! “If you’re lonely, let this sister hug you!”
“Oh, get out!”
Kani is flirtatious and clings to him, and Khan is giving him a sinister look.
Lois kicked those guys.
Three friends squabbling in a pure white flower field.
Finn looked at this with satisfaction.
After a while, Lois said, panting.
“Hehe… “Stop it and let’s go now.”
“But Roy, didn’t you say you were looking for something earlier?”
“… “It’s already been resolved.”
“… … ?”
The twins tilted their heads when they heard that it was resolved even though nothing had been done.
But that was only for a moment.
“I guess that’s the case with Roy.”
“Then where do we go now?”
After clearing their doubts, the twins clung to Lois again and chattered.
Lois said with a smile.
“To see if the kids have grown up well.”
