How to Live as a Half-Dragon

In fact, Xian had as many questions as Stein.

Of course, the questions were similar.

It was because every single thing I couldn’t come to mind even when I thought about who said that I wanted to meet him through men.

Why do you want to see yourself?

Why is such a powerful person interested?

I couldn’t even get a sense of where the contact was.

‘hmm… .’

Even after entering the room I arrived at after the guidance of the men, my doubts were still there.

‘I don’t remember it at all!’

I wondered if I would remember seeing the man’s face, but I couldn’t even remember having a conversation with him.

It was like I didn’t even know who he was.

I searched through my head and tried to think about whether I had brushed it somewhere, but it only hurts my head, but the result is the same.

He said as he sat down in the seat across from him with a puzzled look on his face.

“Nice to meet you. Caught teacher.”

caught teacher.

Xian was aware that he was called that in the arena.

Xi’an’s senses have already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

I could hear the whispers of the perpetrators as long as I wanted to.

In short, it was strange that Xian, who was in and out of the arena, did not know that.

“I guess we had a relationship in the arena?”

“That’s right, fate… It’s a bit ambiguous, but I definitely got to know you through the arena.”

When he said that, Xian felt stabbed in his heart.

That was also the reason why the end of the arena was not very clean.

“The bad relationship… Wouldn’t it be?”

“A normal person has a bad relationship, so this is enough.”

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze at the man’s words.

It was mainly tension between the parties except the parties.

If there was an order right away, he was ready to strike at least with a sword.

“Ahahahahaha… Do not strain your eyes. That’s what it usually is, I didn’t mean that.”

He seemed to soften a little at his words, but the subtle tension, like a freshly stung honeycomb, was still there.

As Xian read the atmosphere, the man introduced himself.

“Let me introduce myself again. I call it the top grid of the top of the crete.”

“… … .”

Xian put on a puzzled expression.

First, it was because he had never heard of the name of the Crete guild, and second, because he still wondered why such a person wanted to meet him.

Grid quietly raised the corner of his mouth as if he had seen through the inside.

“I want to be your sponsor. Caught teacher.”

“Are you a sponsor?”

Xian couldn’t help but be surprised.

I don’t know how great the Crete Merchant is, but judging from the atmosphere, it seems to be a pretty great place…

Yo could not help but be surprised because the owner of the upper ranks came forward to support him.

Grid, who was closely watching Xian’s expression, spoke.

“this… Do you not know the Crete Merchant?”

“… It is.”

He was just lying, so when I told him the truth, he chuckled.

It was strange to see an adult man who rarely laughs laugh like that.

Would that be so funny…

“I see, there are things that the red teacher doesn’t know.”

He swallowed his words as if it was falsely strange, and opened his mouth again.

“But, if you don’t know, if you know now… .”

“Wait.”

Grid shut his mouth at the sudden voice of Xian.

He said with an expression of incomprehensibility.

“What are you doing?”

“I was wondering if I could say something now.”

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded as if he thought that part would be fun too.

“… Of course I wonder what the teacher will say.”

Grid must have agreed.

Xian expressed the strange discomfort he felt right now as it was.

“First of all, I am grateful that you looked at me favorably. I’m not that great of a person.”

It was this that made Xian uncomfortable.

The point is that the other person seems to think of himself as a very great person.

Xian was in a position to think of himself as great compared to his peers. Probably that would be the objective truth.

However, if he thought that he was as extraordinarily strong as Grid thought, that wasn’t the case either.

As the excessive expectations and praise exceeded the limit, it was natural that this seat itself was uncomfortable.

“hmm… .”

For a moment, his gaze as he rubbed his razor-sharp beard turned toward Xian.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a rather determined voice.

It was a voice that I did not know, but I could feel certain about.

“No, Sensei is a great person. Seeing that I’ve thought about it again, but my thoughts haven’t changed.”

Now that I see it, the silence from a moment ago must have been a time to organize my thoughts.

At this point, Xian couldn’t help but wonder.

Where the hell does that confidence come from?

“What is the basis for that?”

Grid said without hesitation.

As if you knew you were going to ask.

“First of all, you are tougher than your peers.”

I don’t know how Grid knows that, but the evaluation itself is understandable.

Xian then asked if there was anything else.

“Is it over?”

“It can’t be, the teacher is smart again. Oh, of course, this is also true compared to peers.”

This, too, was understandable to some extent.

I don’t know exactly, but I prided myself on being smarter than the village kids.

However, people who are just strong and have a little brain are widely spread in the world.

Xian, who judged that Grid did not think highly of him because of that, asked.

“Could there be more?”

“exactly.”

As soon as his eyes lit up with curiosity about what Xian was, he said.

“Most importantly, you have something indescribable.”

“Something indescribable? What is it?”

“I don’t know.”

“yes?”

what bullsh*t is this

* * *

If, after talking with Cecily earlier, she was confused because she didn’t know the reason and left the palace, now, when she heard Grid’s answer, her feeling was that it was just absurd.

It literally felt like bullsh*t.

A person who said he would sponsor each other, but couldn’t explain the most important reason…

When Xian looked at him as if he was wondering if there was anything like that, Grid spoke up as if to listen carefully.

“What do you think is the most important thing for a merchant?”

“Eye… Do you want to come?”

As expected, the person who buys and sells goods is a merchant, so I thought that I could not do business without it.

Grid laughed contentedly.

“Right. As a merchant, you need eyes that can accurately discern the value of goods.”

The story that Grid continued after saying that was quite interesting.

Just as everyone who has reached one level reaches another level, it was said that there is a level that a first-class merchant reaches in the end.

“And that is the eye that knows the time.”

“When?”

To put it simply, it was a story that said that when it rains a lot, the umbrella seller prospers, and when the sun rises, the shoe seller prospers.

It is said that you can achieve greatness only when you distinguish such times.

“I don’t know the details, but I do know that there is one more important thing for merchants.”

“What is it?”

“It’s speech.”

Grid blinked and smiled.

“That would be correct too. As a merchant, you have to be able to charm people.”

Xian said while looking at Grid, who nodded.

The story was leaked for a while, but anyway, I wanted to talk more about the time.

The purpose of Grid’s sponsorship must also be related to that time.

“So what time did you distinguish?”

“When I have to risk my life.”

“to?”

“In short, I met a nobleman.”

‘

Judging from the atmosphere, he thought of himself as a nobleman, but after saying that, Grid brought up an interesting story.

It was a story I hadn’t thought too deeply about.

In the history of the continent, there are many examples of unique merchants making many kings, and the reason is that they discerned that time.

“… So you want to sponsor me?”

“Yes, sir.”

I couldn’t help but wonder how he was managing a huge guild called Crete with such a mind.

Just looking at it, it looks like it’s very fraudulent.

“what… Thank you for your support. What was the trigger?”

“meter?”

“No, common sense wouldn’t have made you feel that you were a noble person just by looking at him.”

I must have made that decision because there was a definite reason for it.

Sure enough, Grid also acknowledged that fact.

“Of course.”

“What is it?”

“hmm… .”

As he sorted out where to start with the story, he smiled and said after a while.

“Teacher, do you remember what I said earlier, ‘more of a bad relationship’?”

“uh… yes.”

Anyway, it’s a story that hasn’t even passed 10 minutes.

Of course I remembered.

“Aren’t you curious?”

“Which one?”

“The bad relationship between me and the teacher.”

Xian shook his head.

That was the reason why there was something to be pointed out.

There was only one thing in the arena where I could have a bad relationship with someone.

“Is this a match between Barstow and Yorba?”

“oh… You remember.”

Grid said it was fun.

“Then you also know who I bet on that day, right?”

“I said it was a bad relationship, so what… .”

It’s obvious.

The winner of the day, contrary to everyone’s expectations, was Vasto.

Because Yorba injured her right arm.

It was when Xian was thinking the same thing.

Grid said.

“I actually knew that Yorba injured his right arm that day.”

“yes?”

“And I knew that it was the teacher’s doing.”

Xian’s head became complicated in an instant.

He wondered if he might stab him, but Xian soon knew that wasn’t the case.

It was because when he realized how Grid knew that he was stronger than his peers, he wondered if he had obtained the attack on Yorba that day through any means.

But then there was the part that didn’t make much sense.

Why the hell did he choose Yorba instead of Vasto?

Grid smiled as if he could see through his thoughts.

“Are you curious? Why did I still bet on Yorba?”

“What is the reason?”
