I Became the Companion of the Gods

118 – EP.26 Tomb of Dragons -2

A cemetery is a common place in horror games or games with dark world settings.

In real life, though, it’s a place that’s often used to test courage or experience fear.

You can’t feel the fear of a cemetery during the daytime.

It’s just that a lot of people have ended their lives, and I can only feel the incomprehensible sublimity.

However, the place where Tia came to be led was different.

Even though it was still lunchtime, the thick fog gave it a gloomy atmosphere comparable to that of a cemetery at night.

Are you afraid of that?

That’s not true. A scale that is different from any cemetery I have ever seen.

From the size of the tomb to the size of the tombstone embedded in it, everything was magnificent, suppressing the feeling of fear.

“Tia, where is this place?”

“Umm… ! Where the grandpas and grandparents are!”

“Then this is a tomb where dragons are buried?”

“Let’s go!”

In my heart, I thought that would be the case.

Each of the tombs is larger than a typical commercial building, but are the beings buried here normal?

This is nonsense.

However, after hearing that it was a tomb of dragons, the tension and excitement welled up.

“You brought Seo-Bang to a place like this, Tia.”

“A scenery that can only be seen in Dax Soul or Black Deborn. Awesome… !”

Miho and Alice followed me and Tia casually.

Surprisingly, Miho spits out words that seem to know what this place is like.

As expected, Alice was commenting on places related to the game, just like me.

“Miho, do you know where this is?”

“Of course. Did you know that my hallucinations can create image worlds?”

“Of course I know.”

“Like everyone else, I had a hard time creating an image world at first. Creating a world is, of course, hard work.”

“But you’re making it well, like putting a stamp on it, right?”

“That’s right, since I witnessed a world different from the real world, I learned how to make it. Seobang-nim, while experiencing my ability for yourself, was able to use it right away, right?”

“That’s right.”

The result of observing and learning Miho’s abilities nearby.

Certainly, building an image world with hallucinatory powers was easy.

It is more efficient to know something through experience rather than learning it through theory.

“Anyway, this is where I got the hang of building the mental world.”

“So, is this a different world from reality?”

“Yes. I went into an ordinary alley, but there’s no way a place like this could come out, right?”

“Sure…. So, where the hell is this place?”

“I will explain the answer to that.”

“Wow?!”

I was startled by the sudden sound of a youthful voice coming from behind.

I looked back immediately after doing something, and there was a bipedal reptile holding a lantern.

It was the appearance of the dragon itself, which is common in games.

“Mr. Grave Keeper! Hi!”

“Welcome, Miss Tia.”

“Long time no see, Leusis. However, I cannot take lightly the fact that my wife surprised me.”

“I’m really sorry, I never meant to surprise you. It was the old man’s main plan, so please forgive me with a generous heart.”

“Please apologize to the West rather than me.”

“Okay. I’m so sorry to startle you, Bocchan. I will gladly accept any punishment, so please forgive me.”

Yongin holding a lantern while wearing a mat.

Recalling Tia’s words, this person seemed to be the gravekeeper of this cemetery.

Although his behavior looks like a reaper, which makes me a little scared, his words and actions show dignity and benevolence.

That’s also an old butler full of years of experience.

“Are you sure you said your name was Leusis?”

“Yes. Thank you for remembering my humble name. Young master.”

“You don’t have to apologize that much. You said it was a bee, but it’s because the title of ‘Bocchan’ is a lowly thing. I want you to call me by my first name.”

“I will follow your orders. Then the master’s name… ?”

“It’s Yu Seonju.”

“I look forward to seeing you in the future, Lord.”

“Please take good care of me.”

It is the first time I have met a being who treats others so generously.

The days when I was discriminated against for not having pets.

Since I haven’t been treated properly anywhere I go, it may be that I felt a lot of consideration.

It was clear to me that Leusis was a person with sincere courtesy and consideration.

“Then shipowner, with all due respect, can I explain this place?”

“Please.”

“Thank you. I will do the explanation slowly as I move through the graveyard.”

Leusis leads the way, driving away his fog with the lantern he is holding. After that, me, Tia, Miho, and Alice follow in order.

“As you may have heard from the priests’ explanation earlier, this is the tomb of dragons. It is a place where dragons and dragons who have lived their whole lives and died or who inevitably ended their lives are buried.”

“Then maybe Tia will come later?”

“Yes, if Lady Tia dies in the distant future, she is going to rest peacefully here.”

The distant future….

I’m going to die before Tia, but I was saddened to hear that Tia would end her life one day.

I don’t mean to belittle this place at all, but I think it would be better for Tia to be buried in a sunny place rather than a bleak place like this.

“Yuu….”

“Huh?”

“Wow! Because I will always be by Yuu’s side! So you don’t have to look sad!”

“Tia….”

As if she read my thoughts from my expression, Tia encouraged me with a bright smile.

I was heartbroken. If you think about it, Tia is the person who will grieve as she dies before Tia.

To be saddened by Tia’s death… How ugly is she?

I am.

“And if I die, I will take Yuu with me too!”

“Uh… ?”

“Mr. Grave Keeper! Can you put Yuu in my grave too?”

“Of course. If it’s Lady Tia’s request, I’ll roll up my arms and make a bigger grave!”

“Yes!”

“Hey Tia? I don’t know if you know, but I might die before Tia does? How are you going to take me?”

“Of course I dug Yuu’s grave! I’m going to take Yuu’s corpse with me!”

“… ….”

Should we accept Tia’s proud declaration of robbery as an insult to the deceased, or as a special love of a companion animal….

My mind is dizzy.

“Tia. You can’t say such nonsense!”

Miho gets angry and pushes Tia.

As expected, like a gumiho who thinks of me the most, I am trying to correct the wrong things.

“Seobangnim is going to be buried with me! By the way, are you saying you want to take out only the West? I cannot accept that.”

“Then I’ll take Miho unnie along too! Are you fine? Grave Keeper?”

“Of course. I will also make a place for Miss Miho.”

“Excellent! Tia! Leusis!”

In the midst of my confusion, I unknowingly slapped my forehead.

As expected, my followers are insane.

But at this point, why do I feel like I am abnormal?

Grandpa Kirin, if you are here, tell me the answer.

“Tia, if it’s okay, I’ll be by the boss’s side….”

“Arasse! Rabbit sister, Yata sister, Kor sister, and even Mrs. Hresbelg! I’ll throw them all into my grave!”

Tia’s line must have had good intentions.

But the tone…. The tone…. Real mind wandering

No, seriously, I don’t know if this is true.

I have my doubts when I see Miho and Alice who seem to be in need of education but are satisfied with their mouths drawn in arcs.

Let’s move on. Otherwise there is no end

“Gye, please continue explaining, leusis.”

“I understand, Lord. Anyway, here, Dragon’s Tomb is a different world from the real world. It is a world created by Argel Dragonia, the first dragon god, and Argel-nim wanted this place to be used as a place of comfort for dragons and dragons.”

“So, has Leusis been here since the days of the first dragon?”

“Yes. As Argel-sama’s attendant and grave keeper, I manage the graves of the dragons, build the tombs according to the requests of the living dragons, and guide the guests as I do now.”

“You are doing a very hard job. You must be very lonely, are you okay?”

“Thank you for your encouragement. Still, I’m enjoying this job, so that’s okay. And like now, Miss Tia comes to play sometimes, or special guests come like Kirin-nim brought Miho, so I don’t feel lonely.”

“I see.”

Miho learned how to create an image world here.

Considering that Miho knew this place and that she had contact with Kirin.

All the puzzle pieces came together one by one.

“And there are a lot of dragons and dragons who take care of me here, so it’s okay.”

“Yes… ?”

“What? Did you not know? Lady Tia, didn’t you tell the shipowner in advance that the dragons should bring the lady’s partner?”

“hehehe, sorry! You forgot!”

“Um, over there… What kind of dragon is trying to see me… ?”

“He is over there just in time.”

From noble mtl dot com

Leusis, who held the lantern high and illuminated the surroundings, pointed somewhere with the other hand.

As I looked there, though it was blurry, beings with shapes that I could tell that they were dragons were huddled together.

“Khehehehe!! Hongdan in Godori! Cheongdan!”

“This goddamn old man has bottomed out again!!”

“Do you have proof? Do you have any proof!”

“No way, Granny Blinn! Tie that bastard’s hands! Today, one of these guys is going to have a hand!”

“Come! Let’s do it!”

Dragon souls fight with all kinds of ignorant abilities in one go-stop version.

Now I think I know where Grandpa Kirin’s famous quote came from.
