Chapter 95 - Chapter 15: Sign (2/2)
Those who crave destruction...
And the ones who wanted the end.
He couldn’t believe it.
Was In-gong being deceived? Or did she really want him to be different from War, Death and Famine?
The Death Knight.
He had attacked Green Wind, the guardian of Enger Plains, and Kafran who was the guardian of Spider Forest.
Why was he attacking guardians? Was there some type of connection between attacking the guardians and causing the end of the world?
How would they bring about the end?
If it wasn’t that, what was the Death Knight’s aim?
‘Master.’
In the midst of his worries, In-gong heard Green Wind’s voice. In-gong opened his eyes and saw Green Wind’s smiling face.
”Did you enjoy talking to Kafran?”
Green Wind had been with Kafran ever since he entered the small temple.
Green Wind nodded.
”I enjoyed it. Kafran is a very cute and good child. Rather, I smell something different coming from Master.”
“Huh?”
Instead of answering, Green Wind brought her face close to In-gong chest and arms and started sniffing.
”Is it the smell of another spirit? No, it is a little different. It is different from Kafran. Is this the smell of the last flame?”
She tilted her head before hugging In-gong. This was different from her normal hugs. She rubbed herself against his body without stopping.
“Excuse me, Green Wind?”
”I am covering you with my smell again. I hate that Master smells of other natural spirits.”
With those words, Green Wind rubbed her cheek against In-gong’s shoulder. Rather than being embarrassed, In-gong felt pleased and he laughed.
“Are you jealous right now?”
“Well, I guess.”
Felicia would have denied it with a blushing face, but Green Wind was Green Wind. She moved her face closer to In-gong’s and her long slender fingers touched In-gong’s lips.
”E-excuse me?”
”The strongest trail is over here. I’m going to delete it.”
‘Delete.’ How was she doing to delete it?
Green Wind's face came closer and her breath reached In-gong’s lips. Unlike the heat of the last flame, he felt a cool sensation.
It was at that moment...
”Prince!”
The door opened with a loud sound and In-gong hurried away from Green Wind. He stood up and asked Carack,
”Huh? What's going on?”
In-gong sighed as he asked the question. Maybe Carack truly was a protagonist, or maybe it was just the timing.
‘No, this is the effect of my Protagonist Correction.’
”Prince?”
“No, nothing. I feel both thankful and angry.”
In-gong sat down on the bed again. Carack laughed and approached In-gong.
“Your remark is too exaggerated.”
“What’s going on?”
In-gong asked bluntly and Carack revealed the purpose of his visit.
“The raccoon person is looking for Prince.”

”There aren’t enough materials!”
Amita shouted. In-gong had gone to Amita’s room who asked to see the remnants of the black dragon.
”The black dragon’s leather and bones... aren’t good enough?”
”That is the main material! I need a variety of materials to make the equipment! Do you want me to just make shoes with leather?”
In order to create shoes, various materials were needed to fasten the leather together.
In-gong’s Dragon Scale Greaves didn’t only contain the scales of a red dragon but also light and durable unidentified metals.
Carack asked from next to In-gong,
”Huh? Isn’t Raccoon the best blacksmith? But you don’t have any materials?”
Carack stimulated Amita’s pride as they brandished a fist at his question.
”Your group has too many orders! I need to create more than 10 new pieces of equipment! It is the first time in my life that I have to make such a large amount in a short period of time! As the best blacksmith, I need to take the utmost care with each one! This isn’t a factory! There is also a full set! Puoooooh, a full set!”
In-gong imagined Amita sewing busily while sweating furiously and felt like laughing. He said reflexively,
“Thank you.”
Amita covered their face with a hand. They gave a long sigh and said,
”Thanks and if you want to get the right equipment, acquire the materials. Not much is needed since you have so much of the main materials.”
”What kind of materials are needed? Do we need to bring it from the Demon King’s Palace?”
Amita shook their head at Carack’s question.
”if you go a little further north< there is a place called Sun Lake. There... Why are you looking at me like that?”
”Ah, nothing. Continue.”
Sun Lake was the place where the lair of the elder dragon, Violent Kaltein, was supposed to be. It was going to be his last destination before returning to the Demon King’s Palace, but his tasks were now overlapping.
Amita frowned like they were uncertain about In-gong’s answer. They took out a tobacco pipe from somewhere and continued,
”Sun Lake has metal creatures wandering around. They are moderately strong, but they shouldn’t be a problem for you. Hunt a few of them. In addition to those, I will write down the materials that should be collected.”
Amita scribbled on a piece of paper before handing it to Carack. Carack frowned as he read the letters on the piece of paper.
“The letters are too small and are also a little crooked.”
”My hands are small.”
“Understood. I understand you.”
At Carack’s answer, Amita pounded the floor with their tail like they were frustrated.
”Hu, I am going to die. Go. I need to start the work in advance.”
“I understand. Then I will be going.”
In-gong and Carack smiled before leaving Amita’s room.

“Shutra— I smell something different coming from Shutra.”
