Chapter 94 - One-horned tribe (4) (2/2)
Certainly, it was not a conversation to be shared with all these people in the drawing rooet down to business I’e Is that hu a problem with?”
“Yes, it is”
Yeon-woo
Then the egg which was lying at the corner of the room floated up in the air and slowlywas so tall that the people inside the roo if the egg would break the ceiling
But despite their concerns, thankfully, the egg arrived safely on the table
“I was half in doubt when I read the e, but this…”
“How is this possible…?”
“I thought I knew all about beast eggs, but this is not what I thought it would be I wonder what’s inside this huge egg”
As soon as the egg was placed on the table, the elders ca it in detail
So to check the hardness of its shell and soht notes to cos So out ancient documents on the floor to find if there was any similar case documented
“They are our tribe’s elders They are e’s food, but the knowledge they have picked up here and there should still be helpful to you”
The Martial King said jokingly
The elders threwbut soon went back to studying the egg
It seely sti the elders do their work, Yeon-woo noticed that they were very healthy and fit for people of their age
Most of theth
There, Yeon-woo had a vague idea of what the ‘true power’ of One-horned power could be
“Do you think they can find the solution?”
Yeon-woo asked the Martial King with a whisper
But the Martial King answered with a shrug
“I don’t know Brainwork isn’t my area of expertise But what I do know is that they know a lot s than anyone else in The Tower If even they don’t have the answer, I don’t think there’s anyone else who can give you one”
From his answer, Yeon-woo felt the deep trust that the Martial King had towards the elders Fro on their research
After about an hour, the elders ca finished their discussion
“We were able to find one si also belongs to this case”
“What is it?”
Yeon-woo sprang up fro even the Phoenix couldn’t figure out?’
Though Yeon-as still in doubt, he couldn’t help but be delighted to find a glimmer of hope
“Really? What is it, old reat curiosity
The elder standing at the front glared at their childish king for a second, but soon turned to Yeon-woo and answered while adjusting his glasses
“But I’m afraid there’s a problem”
“Do you mean there’s no solution?”
“No, there is a solution H described in the docuer than your egg And it says that they had to ad is that the beast that hatched out of the egg was a Void Dragon, the saendary Beast in the Dream World”
“…!”
“Oh”
“What?”
Yeon-woo, the Martial King, Phante and all the other people in the rooon, one of the four Legendary Beasts dwelling in the Drea thehly likely that there would also be a very powerful beast growing inside his egg
“My God, this is so unfair! Why does he always get the good stuff?”
Phante shouted out loud while pointing his fingers at Yeon-woo His face was co Phante’s cry, Yeon-woo shi+fted his gaze to his egg
Woong
He could feel the egg’s pride conveyed through their connection It see if he would still bully it after knowing how great it was
Just then,
Edora raised her hand and asked the elder a question
“But, as far as I know, the four Legendary Beasts weren’t born in The Tower…”
“You’re right And that’s the probleinate not froon So this case dates back to even before The Tower’s eence”
‘An event that happened even before The Tower cag of all things?’
Yeon-woo stared blankly at his egg, recalling what the Phoenix had told hiht have lost its reason to come out to the world because I didn’t have a dream’
It suddenly occurred to hiered a certain ‘reaction’ and caused so
But just when Yeon-as starting to bla suddenly opened his ht There had once been a giant egg, the beast of which refused to hatch out of, but it turned out it was the egg of the Void Dragon, and you are thinking that the sa, correct?
“That is true”
“Then orry? He even said there’s a solution to this”
The elder once again glared at their king’s co a song to hiue and continued explaining to Yeon-woo
“This is e suggest Your egg has grown abnoret it treated, it will require a Lunar Seed”
‘Lunar Seed?’
Yeon-woo tilted his head to hear a foreign naht! There was the Lunar Seed”
“Yeah, that should do”
But the rest of the people nodded as if it was so very obvious
Yeon-as bewildered by the situation
He had never heard of an itee of artifacts and elixirs he acquired from his brother’s diary
Edora seeave him a brief explanation of what a Lunar Seed was
“A Lunar Seed is one of the rare herbs passed doithin our tribe froeneration It is not a commonly-known herb because races other than us do not know its use”
Yeon-woo could now understand why the name of the item was alien to him If it was a secret herb only consumed within the tribe, there was no way his brother could have known about it
Yeon-woo clenched his fist at the thrill of finding a solution to his proble was finally coet the Lunar Seed?”
Yeon-woo asked the Martial King
But the Martial King suddenly broke into a mysterious smile
“So, you require an item that only us, the One-horned tribe, have, is that correct?”
“Yes”
“But as you have heard from Edora, a Lunar Seed is a very rare iteive away for free You see, it takes a full 15 years to grow just one root”
Yeon-woo understood the ’s words
It was a deal
If he wanted the ite reasonable in return
Edora see to say, but the elders next to her stopped her
There was a rule stating that nowhen he is acting on behalf of their tribe
Edora had no choice but to stay silent
Phante constantly gazed at the two of the between them
After about a minute, Yeon-woo carefully opened hisI can offer you in return I neither belong to any clan nor do I receive any patronage If you can give me some time…”
“We won’t sell it on credit”
“…”
It was a flat rejection
Yeon-woo closed hiselse
Several artifacts that he possessed crossed his mind
But none of therid and Aegis
But he couldn’t just trade theive up one of the that held fond onizing over the issue, the Martial King suddenly let out a sneer
“You don’t have to actually trade an item for it, don’t you think? Instead, you can do some ‘physical labor’ for us”
Yeon-woo quickly cae for so to give his time
But the question was,
‘What does he need my help for?’
Yeon-woo didn’t knohat the Martial King would order hi’s next remark came as a shock to Yeon-woo
“You’ve heard of the war between Red Dragon and Cheonghwado, right? We’ll be joining the war as mercenaries I need you to help us in that war What do you think?”
Yeon-woo’s eyes grew as big as saucers
‘What?’
