The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

61 – 059.Frehardt’s Shrine

A dragon mother and daughter quarreled over a hero.

As the intensity of the fight intensified, the lesser warrior took out the holy sword and defeated the dragon.

It was ironic that the place was on the bed, but I woke up after the night of the decisive battle.

Even after tasting the mother-daughter rice bowl all night long and pouring tartar sauce over it, her strength was surplus.

No, I was rather full of energy. To the point where I don’t have to sleep for the next three days.

‘Dragon Heart’s performance is crazy… ….’

[It’s not for nothing that all wizards and alchemists drool over dragon hearts. An essence that is the source of vast magical power and breaks through human limitations. Having ingested two such precious things, it is rather strange that he is weak.]

Certainly, Kang Jun-hyeok, who defeated Breeze and consumed her heart, became incomparably stronger.

I will be reborn as a transcendent on a level comparable to the awakened demon king…….

Kang Jun-hyeok no longer had to fight Breeze, and I ate half of her dragon heart.

I received Renee’s heart and the mana circuit in my body was newly reconstructed.

Thanks to that, she jumped from the level of 6th grade to 7th grade at once.

If I can someday conceive and manifest my own magic, I will be able to reach level 8.

‘It’s a bit of a pity’

If Bern had given up Pingchang and Academy, he would have been much stronger than the original.

However, he failed because he couldn’t give up his lingering feelings and stubbornness. On the other hand, seeing myself beyond Bern in the original work made me sigh and laugh at the same time.

Unfortunately, it didn’t seem too bad for me to carry on the dream of a hero he had given up midway.

“Umm… ? Mr. Bern?”

“Are you awake?”

“Yes. But what about your mother?”

“Breathe left the nest early because he said he had something to do.”

“I can’t believe that red dragon… ?”

“No. I went to punish the guys who made you like this, not the dragon.”

I gently touched Renee’s broken horn.

Renee, who grasped the meaning, nodded in agreement.

The one who broke the horn was a human, but the dump fell on his demon.

But I don’t sympathize. Because Rene’s kidnapping was planned by the demons in the first place.

“You call her mother’s name casually, by the way?”

“Ahaha… ! It was also his strong wish, and he received the Dragon Heart.”

Suddenly, the situation turned out this way, but she also became part of my family.

I couldn’t call him Gwangryong like other people.

How would they react if I told this to my family under the snowy mountain?

She was curious, but she felt like she would get scolded for touching her married woman, so she decided to save her.

“I am still dissatisfied with the decision to accept her mother, but Vern-sama has longed to become stronger for us, so I’ll move on. But beyond that, you can’t form a relationship with a dragon other than us! Did you know?”

“Don’t worry. If I ever meet another dragon…….”

When I thought about the places I would go to in the future, my mouth fell silent.

A city of pleasure that you must visit to obtain important artifacts.

The head there was a half-human, half-dragon woman just like Renée.

In order to obtain the desired artifact, you must join forces with her so-called empress.

“Why are you not talking? Could it be that there are other dragons besides us that you know?”

“No. Not yet… ….”

“What do you mean by still?”

Renee sticks out her mouth and expresses her dissatisfaction.

I scratched my cheek avoiding her stinging gaze.

“It’s okay, even if I meet other dragons, nothing will happen.”

“You don’t trust me when you say that?”

“Because I swear I won’t do anything even if we meet. Do not doubt me.”

“…… All right. If I go there and closely monitor it, something will work out.”

I got out of bed, alleviating my worries.

“Are you going downhill?”

“I’m fine with that, but I still have work to do. There are places I must go.”

“There must be nothing but nests in the snowy mountains, right?”

“That’s your idea.”

There was a secret of the snowy mountain that not only Renée but also Breeze did not know about.

There is a surprisingly secret temple hidden in the middle of a snow-covered mountain.

It was a temple dedicated to the god of cold, Freehardt, who was said to have created the snowy mountains in the north, and was the residence of numerous ice spirits.

‘Prach, can you suppress the demon as much as possible?’

[It is possible, but why?]

‘I’ll explain. Promise me that demonic energy won’t leak out for a while.’

[Okay, so please explain.]

The Temple of Friedhart was related to Bern, not Junhyeok Kang.

Because the northern snow mountain was destroyed by Breeze before Kang Jun-hyeok even went there.

In other words, it is a place that became known through the story of Bern, who was wandering after receiving a probation.

While staying at his hometown, Bern often visited the northern snowy mountains to practice.

One day a sudden avalanche struck him.

Being trapped in the snow, Vern was in danger, but he was able to survive with the help of a spirit who accidentally found him.

After that, he came to the temple of Freehardt under the guidance of the spirit.

Although he was not a believer, Vern prayed to the stone statue and, under the blessings of the spirits, received Freehardt’s grace…… It was obvious.

Because, as always, Bern is being bullied by author Ah Dok-Choi.

The demonic sword, who had a strong sense of jealousy, began to emit demonic energy, and he was soon rejected by the spirits.

The spirits who hated Magi extremely expelled Bern and refused to enter the snowy mountain.

What ended up being sacked at the door, let alone grace.

It was a side story of Bebungi, who has no idea why it was included.

“Is there really a hidden temple in a place like this?”

“Yes. If you don’t have it, I’ll make the intestines in my hand.”

Hook! Hooked!

Remembering the snow removal work I had done while in the military, I scooped up the snow with a shovel.

The whole place was full of garbage, but I didn’t care and I was working hard.

Prach threw a question out of nowhere.

[By the way, Contractor, if you’re going to clear the snow, can’t you do it with magic?]

‘Imperial spirits might not like magic other than ice.’

[I don’t think that’s the case.]

‘It’s a matter of mindset. They must be watching us from far away, so if we show this sincerity, won’t the other side look good on us?’

[Hmm, it certainly makes sense, but why would you go so far to receive the Bingshin’s blessing?]

‘Call me the god of cold. What is Bingsin, Bingsin…….’

It’s not wrong, but the tone is a bit like that.

A title that he might have sighed if he had heard it.

Even the words engraved on the stone statue clearly referred to him as the god of cold.

[So why?]

‘Isn’t Ignit a fire dragon? If he is blessed with the opposite attribute of cold, he will be able to fight against his flames.’

Unfortunately, the key needed to attack Ignit was in the snowy mountain where we are located.

At first, there was no doctor to visit the temple of Friedhart. However, he couldn’t ignore it as long as he challenged the red dragon to a fight.

“I found it… !”

The result of diligently waving and shoveling his arm from morning until the sun came up.

The part where the snowballs were condensed collapsed, revealing a gaping hole.

I tried using detection magic, but it bounced out without being able to go through the hole.

It was undoubtedly the entrance leading to Freehardt’s temple.

“This kind of space is really hidden in the snowy mountains.”

“It’s still too early to be surprised. You’ll be even more surprised when you see what’s inside.”

I threw myself over the hole without hesitation.

One after another, Renee followed me into the hole and jumped down.

As soon as it landed safely, Renee’s mouth exploded with admiration.

“Oh, it is beautiful!”

“I told you. You will be surprised.”

I used the reflective surface of the ice to hide the inside of the hole.

That’s why it looked like an infinitely dark hole from the outside.

However, the view when you actually go inside is different.

Hundreds of ice statues placed left and right on the passage made of icy roads.

Clean and transparent ice with no impurities was filled everywhere.

“Because the floor is slippery. Be careful not to fall.”

“Yes!”

Since it was a place where there was nothing but ice, the ground was also covered with ice.

As if I had come to an ice rink, if I moved forward even a little, my body leaned forward and I slid all the way forward.

I used to skate because I was led by his parents when I was little, but Renee wasn’t like that.

Like a dog that met snow, our dragon was enjoying himself sliding as much as he could on the icy road.

‘Anyway, it’s strange.’

[What’s wrong?]

‘Curious spirits aren’t revealing their noses.’

[The spirits do not appear unless they are truly pure-hearted humans.]

‘Unlike René, I’ll admit I’m not pure, but do I need to be so vigilant?’

[Considering what you humans did to the spirits, it’s natural.]

‘What did he do?’

Sorry for the fuck.
