Chapter 279

Chi-Woo felt confused and flustered at the same time He could swear that he had never wanted the breath of a young girl who hadn’t even lost her baby fat yet However, when he thought about it carefully, her words felt fah his memory, he soon recalled his conversation with La Bella and the material she had told hi theon,” Chi-Woo tails This freckled waitress really was the central figure of the Cassiubia League, the Last Dragon? For real? He was baffled at a completely different level than before This situation was equivalent to Chi-Hyun suddenly popping out of nowhere on the human side Why did she suddenly appear in front of hiirl—no, the Last Dragon in the for asked “You’re his family, and not a distant family, but someone from the direct family line”

She caend’s brother It was a more realistic reason than he’d expected, but he still couldn’t completely understand it either She came all the way here for just that reason…?

“That isn’t the only reason” She shook her head in disagreement and continued, “You h your body, but…ah?” Then she seemed surprised mid-sentence and stared intently at Chi-Woo “Ohanything This is slightly surprising?”

Chi-Woo’s eyes beca as saucers He hadn’t revealed it to anyone How did she know information that only Philip and his brother knew?

“I want to dive in a little deeper, but…then he’ll get angry, right? That’s a little scary, so I’ll stop for now”

Chi-Woo was puzzled by what had happened just now; at the saer It was hard to describe it, but it felt foreign and increased his wariness

The girl seemed pleased by his reaction as she so in?” It seemed she really didn’t plan to delve deeper into thisa lot…aha, you’re looking for a guide Yeah, a guide is iain Did the Last Dragon know everything?

“Don’t worry too much”

What did she irl suddenly looked back toward the direction the expedition s that she seeate and towards the Hala Forest? “Even at the latest, you can probably depart the day after tomorrow Of course, the choice is up to you”

Chi-Woo clutched his forehead with his hand His head was spinning, and it felt like he was talking to a shaman who had reached the peak of her power Frankly, he had wanted to on’s breath Currently, there was only one existence on Liber who could be called a dragon; after all, she was called the Last Dragon for a reason If he could, he wanted to ask her about the dragon’s breath and all kinds of other topics However, he had never iined that he would meet her like this

“Okay”

Chi-Woo stared at the son’s breath But I have one condition It won’t be fun if I just give it to you”

‘No It would be just as fun if you give it to me…’

“Even if it’s fun for you, it’s not fun forinside his iver to decide what to do?”

Although it was regretful, he had no choice but to accept her condition since she was right Then the girl looked at Chi-Woo with a curious gaze for a bit and suddenly chuckled “I was a bit nervous because he’s Chi-Hyun’s brother, but he’s cute,” she murmured to herself and cleared her throat “Hmm, it’s simple Well, it’s not a siate the Hala Forest Then I’ll give you a s like ive it to you”

Chi-Woo received a task to subjugate the Hala Forest Since she came all the way here herself to set forth this condition, it seemed she was very interested in this matter as well

“By the way, Goddess La Bella is tooto take everything good?” The girl laughed and shook her head, saying no one could stop the Goddess

Chi-Woo recalled that he also had to find the crazyand core of solitude…uh? Solitude? [1]

“What are you so worried about?” The girl grinned “With that condition just now, you have no choice but to gatherthe various on’s breath was the last one he would obtain by conquering the Hala Forest Thus, this

“Of course, that’s only the case if you conquer the Hala Forest and coirl’s so too late” She said one more incomprehensible sentence and turned around Then she looked over her shoulder at Chi-Woo “I think the candidate has already been decided to some extent If you’re too late…it could all be taken away?”

Chi-Woo’s eyes narrowed; these weren’t words that he could easily overlook

“Well then, I’ll be waiting for you here, okay?” She quickly left as if she had finished all her business

Chi-Woo did not immediately move It felt as if he had been bewitched Then suddenly, he identified the strange and wary feeling he had been having so the conversation—Chi-Woo had never spoken a single word out loud

The next day, Chi-Woo and the other expedition uide as soon as the sun rose After inquiring here and there, they were able to talk to quite a few people However, most of them refused, and some even broke out into cold sweat Of course, ‘most of them’ didn’t ue ave a favorable response

The problem was that their offer was conditional, and in short, they all asked foras a guide, or they asked for a daily wage The price they put forth was thousands of royals at the lowest and tens of thousands of royals at the highest Considering the expedition members’ financial situation, it was a condition that was impossible for them to accept

At first, Chi-Woo couldn’t understand it It would have been il did at their last expedition and set a special condition that in exchange for royals, they were to relinquish rights over all goods obtained during the expedition Normally, it was common to participate in expeditions with the expectation that they would receive goods rather thanthe Hala Forest was for the public good rather than personal gain They needed to stabilize the area even a second earlier for Liber’s future

However, after looking for a guide all day long, Chi-Woo suddenly realized why everyone was asking for ue members at the Hala outpost were those who had entered the Hala Forest once and barely survived Most of the back in Why? It was because they had already tasted hell, and they had no intention of going back there to die Then ere they still here? It was to remediate the loss caused by this expedition

At first, they invested heavily in the expedition drea left in their pockets Thus, they wanted money to ave theo into the center of the Hala Forest They would at o back to the relatively safe entrance area of the Hala Forest as the guide and return after sucking out as uides he o even that far The few really talented members had already died in the Hala Forest, or had failed to conquer it and left the outpost immediately because like Ismile, they realized that this was a place they shouldn’t mess with

Given the circumstances, Chi-Woo had no choice but to return to the tavern at sunset Judging by how the other expedition members returned with crest-fallen faces, they all seeh the saht There were only two uide soht of Hawa, but Chi-Woo shook his head Even if he had to cancel the expedition, he couldn’t put forward just anyone as a guide

While everyone had their mouths shut and stared at the table, the buzz inside the tavern suddenly intensified It seemed there was so on?”

“What’s happening?”

A couple of ue went outside the tavern and returned shortly after “Ah geez, in the end, that tea this period…but at least a few of theues with a bitter expression

Chi-Woo tilted his head, but that was the extent of his reaction In the end, the day ended without ain

The next day, Chi-Woo decided to call everyone in theJust as he was about to start, the tavern door slaled to breathe while looking around in a hurry He had a pair of bright yellow feathers sprouting froated beak instead of a mouth, and sharp eyes like those of a hawk He didn’t have wings, but it seemed he was a birdood condition
