From “Sun’s Extinction Day” to this summer, the whole dominant continent was surging with winds and clouds in a short period of six months.
The oldest human kingdom had split, and the descendants of Eagle and Griffin finally parted. The belief of the Sun God that had once ruled the country had collapsed and bleeding bodies of the descendants of noble gods were scattered everywhere.
As the Void Mask rose, the apotheosis of the God of Knowledge and the greatest magician, Master Lamperus, and the Destruction of the holy solar system—many historians lamented that the world had been raging like a storm. It had come to an unpredictable era full of opportunities and dangers.
It was the best time while it was the worst time.
But all this didn’t mean too much to Graupel who was sleeping in the underground dragon cave. She was hiding in a small building regardless of the changes of the four seasons.
Gold coins piled up like mountains, and there was also thick and warm bedding in the undisturbed, underground cave.
Was there anything better in the world than all this?
No! Absolutely not!
Well, it would be much better if there weren’t any villains who tried to take her gold coins from time to time.
“Don’t rob my coins!” The dragon pulled those gold coins on the ground with its claws, and its eyes were full of tears. “How can you be so cruel to rob a little girl of the money she lives on?”
Those workers who were in charge of delivering gold coins looked at each other and laughed bitterly.
This underground dragon was absolutely safe as a treasury, but many troubles still existed. For example, each time when you moved the gold coins, you had to choose a time when Miss Graupel was sleeping otherwise she would cry and scream once you tried to move them. Sometimes, she would even find out a rope and claim that she would hang herself in order to blame them for their cold-blooded atrocities.
“Hey, these gold coins didn’t belong to you!”
But it was useless reasoning with her. Removing the gold coins from her was like cutting meat from her heart. Although these gold coins were not hers, she definitely had emotions for them. She even named many gold coins…
“Ah! Romeo! How can you rob Romeo! That’s my favorite child!”
“Ah! Juliet… You are so cruel! They were obviously such a good couple…”
“Oh god! How can I survive without these children!”
“No! Please don’t steal them!”
The leading worker reluctantly put down the gold coin box held tightly by the dragon and took out the communication staff.
He clicked it, and the turquoise piece at the head of the stick shone; a voice rang out.
“Hello? I’m Frost. Who’s calling me?”
“Lord Frost! Please take care of your sister!” the veteran worker shouted in despair. “She even named those gold coins Romeo and Juliet and threatened that she would commit suicide without these gold coins…”
A helpless sigh came from the turquoise piece, feeling a pain in his stomach.
“I see. Come back first and give me the withdrawal slip. I’ll get them myself later.”
After a while, Frost who had the appearance of a human came to the underground vault.
“Graupel, please stop playing,” he said. “The operation of the Void Mask Land relies on these gold coins. If you keep on fooling us, you will make a lot of trouble for everyone.”
“Do you want to do such a cruel thing to me too, my brother?” Graupel asked in a trembling voice. She guarded the large gold coin heap behind her body just like an old hen protecting its chicken.
Frost sighed deeply with his hands covering his face.
“Graupel, these gold coins are not yours. They belong to the Land,” he whispered. “You are just a keeper of the treasury, just like me.”
“They are my children!” Graupel shouted.
