352 Ancient Site 2 (1/2)
That's when soldiers all saw something weird up in the sky. Everyone turned up to the sky and saw a giant being flying through the sky casually. The giant being covered the sun, drawing a shadow over all the soldiers.
”D-dragon!”
”Wow! Guardians of the land!”
”I heard they're friends with His Majesty?”
”Is that true?”
”Of course! I can imagine no less from His Majesty.”
”Yeah, haha. Did you see the Kongs?”
”Kong? Oh, you mean that giant monkey thing?'
”Yeah!”
Soldiers began talking to each other as they cleaned up the mess, and giant dragons flew by them over the sky toward the Khalodian Mountain Range.
Cold, wet air swept through. It was a very unique experience to ride a giant dragon's back in the sky.
'To be on a dragon…' Joonbum thought as he stood on the back of the dragon. They were now flying toward the site where the remains of an otherworld entity had been found.
”What are you thinking?” Jinpok asked.
”Just… thinking of all the things we have gone through.”
”Yeah?”
Jinpok nodded. He seemed calm, but he knew what Joonbum meant. Unlike Jinpok however, Doral seemed to be concerned. Joonbum knew why.
-What do you think about Duval, sir?
It was Jackson's voice who had a hint of concern when he asked Joonbum before he left for the site. Jackson seemed to be troubled.
-Duval? He's a genius.
Jackson's eyes turned cold. He then spoke with a colder voice.
-It seems like the first generation is preparing for a revolt… independence. They seemed to be 'persuaded' by the books from Earth.
-Let them be. They are free to do whatever they choose to do.
Jackson seemed really troubled when he heard that. His expression was asking if Joonbum was willing to give up the seat of the Emperor. He was asking if Joonbum was ready to give up the power. Jackson also seemed to be disappointed by everything. Joonbum then spoke to him.
-Weren't we ready to retire and live in the countryside? There is no right or wrong way to lead the world. We have done well, but it's far from perfect. If our next generation feels need to take other steps, let's have them do it.
-They will destroy everything we have accomplished.
