The Foreigner on the Periphery

That night, Robert forgot his painful memories and fell asleep in a state of extreme happiness and satiety. The largest shareholder of the world’s largest magic crystal processing and power generation company, a pharmaceutical conglomerate holding an indefinite patent right for a troll serum treatment, and the unofficial guardian of the Japanese royal family all received the same uninvited guests. 

Minjun, who had eaten Elad K, Peterzen, and Aramasa before dawn, finally let out a sigh. ‘Shall we do this for today?’ 

Yes… Finishing the brainwashing of the four elder dragons so quickly was not an easy task even for him, who had grown stronger. He still couldn’t believe how much he had hit heads with a frying pan today! 

Ting! It sounded like an auditory hallucination ringing in his ears. ‘Didn’t you say you couldn’t do it anymore?’ The frying pan let out a weary mental wave.

= Please save me! Now I really can’t do it anymore. = 

The guy who took the form of a dagger to draw blood was back to his original fan form. This was because he exhausted a lot of his strength. =This is the first time I have controlled so many elder dragons at the same time. If you increase it more, one can come back to sanity. I think it would be better to stop here for safety. =

=I don’t know what will happen if I absorb more soul fragments, but this is the limit for now.= 

‘Okay. Let’s do this.’ 

It was not like Jenkinson had dealt with all the ‘opposition’ that he recited without knowing why. But now that he was to think about it, he would be suspicious if all the dragons who had rebelled against their friends changed their attitudes all at once. 

Dragons were not stupid. If political opponents who could never compromise would change their attitude all at once, it would be considered suspicious. Minjun’s goal is to have the dragons hold a temporary meeting, learn of the ancient race’s plot, and decide to help Minjun in secret. It would be better if they moved forward and advanced the election. ‘The next dragon lord…’ 

After thinking that far, he couldn’t help but think of a prophecy.

Foreknowledge was updated when he secretly visited the Prophet, as he could no longer be contacted by means such as the phone. 

– Agent! Agent… you will become Earth’s new Dragon Lord! 

He had almost yelled at the orc councilor for talking about it. It was because he felt insulted, just like Jeongpal did. Because in modern language, dragon lord meant dragon. 

However, after hearing the words that followed, he changed his mind. ‘Dragon master. The ruler of dragons.’ 

Was he a Lord in that sense? There were just a few things that got stuck. ‘I’m trying to run away from Earth right now, but I’ll be on Earth in about 90 days?’ 

Escape from Earth may have failed, or they may not have to run away at all. It was also possible to interpret positively that it returned after absorbing talents from the other world. And…

‘In the end, am I going to rule the Balaur? Are all the current worries meaningless? Or is this also a stepping stone for the next step?’ 

It was unknown at this time.

Nor did he intend to change or give up his plans because of the prophecy. Maybe it was the future that came as a reward for succeeding in all of this. At that time, Minjun was deep in thought while holding a frying pan. 

“Hey, agent?” A voice came, asking carefully. 

“Well?” Minjun turned his head. He was Ha Eun-seong. He released the polymorph and returned to the dragon form. There were an unusually large number of guards around Aramasa’s Kyoto Rare, the ancient dragon that had just recently been brainwashed.

That was why he deliberately returned to the dragon’s body. This would make it easier to respond in case of an emergency. “It’s over, right? Aren’t you going to lose more? I think I’ve reached my limit now. If I go out of my body any longer today, I think I might die.” 

It was true. Contrary to expectations, the real body of the owner had not yet fully recovered. A body that was not properly controlled by the spirit would eventually become cold. Minjun looked at him blankly. “It’s true…” 

Embarrassed, he didn’t know it, but Minjun was staring at ‘the dragon Ha Eun-seong’ instead of the ‘ghost Ha Eun-seong’. A dragon who lost weight rapidly after being deprived of cooking in a frying pan. He ended up somewhere between obese and overweight, which naturally reminded him of the old days. ‘The old dragon was just like that.’ 

He was similar to Ha Eun-seong now. The dragon body in front of my eyes was still young and that size, but in the old days, even when it was fully grown, its body length was about twice the height of a person. If they were raised on pasture, they would gain just this much weight. As he immersed himself in reminiscing about the peaceful times, the poison in his eyes naturally faded. Ha Eun-seong was slightly relieved. ‘How is it less scary now?’ 

In addition to this, he interpreted the situation with his own logic. ‘Well, I worked really hard today. You can’t tell if you have eyes. Even if you think about it, it seems like you rolled too hard.’ 

Minjun’s deep eyes broke through the early morning air. The ghost possessed by the dragon drew its own conclusions. ‘If you are a person, you will feel sorry for yourself. if you have a conscience Cancer, it has to be.’ 

Now that the employer’s heart had weakened, it seemed like an opportunity, but he decided not to be too harsh.

‘I’m going to look at the situation a bit more and try to get my words out. How is the alternative debt calculation going? Whether it’s the North Pole or the South Pole, can you pay me an extra allowance (?) for living there?’ 

‘The time it takes to leave the body is getting longer, but there is no rejection from the body? It’s the opposite of common sense. Who the hell baptized this guy?’ 

He drew a firm conclusion. ‘Anyway, I need to take this guy with me when I run away to the outer world.’ 

The intention of the person involved was not important.

Beep! Beep Big! 

There was little noise. At the same time, he noticed a bright red light in the corner of his vision. It occupied a very small share of the hologram in the air, but it had a great presence. It grabbed people’s attention and attracts them. 

It was so annoying. He ignored this and tried to focus on what you’re doing.

‘Feed consumption has been reduced this month.’ 

It determined exactly which dragons ate less food. And if it was considered serious, it ordered action. An automated pen management system would eventually move the dragon to a special location. Next, he had to check if there was an object showing abnormal body temperature… 

Beep! Beep Big! There was an alarm that kept ringing. frowned. On the other hand, it seemed that it was not only the men who were uncomfortable with it. 

“Kreureung! Fuheung!” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

Adkiel, who was enjoying a nap lying on the floor made of natural wood at his feet, consciously blew his nose. He had woken up because of an alarm. The dragon lay with his stomach exposed, his four legs folded, and only one eye half open. And he protested once more. 

“Kreureung!” it was noisy, so he was asking him to do something. Judging by this point, the will must have been sufficiently conveyed, and the dragon closed its eyes again. 

Beep Big! Beep Big! Beep Big! 

The alarm got louder and louder and the owner neglected it. Then the dragon covered its eyes and ears with its two wings. Of course, one couldn’t hear that. Adkiel blew his nose for a long time like a sigh. “Puh-heung!”

Eventually, he raised his body and shot his master with a disgruntled expression. ‘I really can’t live.’ 

Kung, kung. Footsteps echoed and disappeared to a place where no sound could be heard. Even after the guide dragon had left, the man tried to ignore the noise for a while. However, eventually, the limit came. 

‘Damn it, what the hell is going on?!’

If he cut it off unilaterally, the sound would eventually stop. However, he found that he couldn’t. Clearly, the government had been bluffed. They should never call first unless there was an emergency. If one needed anything, they will contact him from here. Nevertheless, it would be really urgent if they contacted him even though it was obvious that they would go against the planting. 

From the government’s point of view, of course. In other words, it may not be very urgent from his point of view. ‘Let’s listen. Just do something as trivial as last time!’ 

He stretched out his hand toward the red light. Pod! The hologram shape changed instantly. The display of the barn management system had been moved to a corner and a video call interface had emerged. Satellite-mediated images illuminated the interior of a building on a distant planet.

He then asked the woman in the video in an apathetic way. “What happened?” 

Was it the first time in a few hundred years that they showed their face in front of those kids? “Iced coffee!” 

The expression of the woman whose eyes met hardened. The silence was short-lived. Soon, the gaze fluctuated mercilessly, and various emotions surged and boiled. Then…

Bank! Levee! Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes and eventually overflowed. He grumbled inwardly. ‘I’m going crazy.’ 

Still, holding one’s breath and crying was a good response. He watched silently, not putting his horse on top. ‘Why are you crying? Don’t do that. Calm down.’

Knowing that, he waited quietly. Indeed, the woman who understood this silence as a sign of discomfort and warning spoke up. She wiped her tears and cheeks with a handkerchief she had prepared in advance. “I’m sorry.”

Hers was a watery, locked voice. He tilted his head slightly, as if he did not want to wait long. The woman seemed to be trying to keep her emotions under control, but she didn’t do it as quickly as her partner expected. He knew this. 

Now, this dissatisfied expression and the voice they heard would all be recorded and managed as the government’s permanent preservation records. When he first heard the plan, he foamed at his mouth. Then, he tried to blackmail the government to stop shipping for the time being until he backed out of that monstrous plan. However, the master dissuaded him. 

– I think it’s better to close your eyes. The kids who can’t stand it because they want to worship you, but you just push them away. It’s good to allow a little gap. Otherwise, one day it will explode. 

A civilization in which all problems of food and livelihood were solved, a civilization in which the quality of life had been leveled up, where did it turn its eyes?

Their answer was happiness. Absolute happiness, is not a relative concept. Happiness that had no threshold and did not wear out. He wanted to enjoy this happiness for a longer time. For example, forever. In addition to this, he was trying to live up to their hopes and expectations on this remote planet. 

That was why it was worshiped. What determined the nobility that distinguished one person from another?

 – ···Sorry. 

He looked ugly in front of a noble person.

He barely stopped sniffing and hung his head. The woman on the other side of the screen didn’t show her respect by asking how she was doing, by giving him a hollow greeting, or by praising his achievements out of the blue. This was because he hated it so vehemently. 

-A problem arose that we foolishly couldn’t find a way out of… 

Anxiety filled her eyes. Just because happiness was supplied infinitely in her brain did not mean that all other emotions had been castrated. This was because anxiety and worry were also essential elements that made a person exist as a person. However, the happiness that sprung up tirelessly from the back of their heads helped prevent negative emotions from destroying and completely engulfing people. 

He asked, trying not to be annoyed. “Is it a farm problem?” 

-That’s right. 

“Why did a dragon eat another dragon again? Don’t worry, I’m looking for a way.” 

– Oh, I see! You have already been arranged. It’s something I’m truly grateful for. But this issue is about aggregation farms, not barns. No, to be precise, the by-products of the old farm… 

After a few words, he twitched his eyebrows. “You mean children who were raised with souls?”

-Yes, nobleman. That’s right. 

“Didn’t the experiment get abandoned? Because of ethical issues.” 

-You’re right. I don’t know if you remember it’s too old, but after the experiment was over, the environment was created for the test subject to live on a lonely planet. 

He remembered. Certainly… that happened. -I didn’t get involved so that they could live freely among themselves, but this time a different type of disaster occurred on that planet… 

“What. Are you a bug?” 

-There is a possibility that it is an intelligent body. 

His eyes widened. “No way! In the first place, when they were released, all races capable of building spaceships were extinct except for us! However, they are still at that stage…” 

-That… The heterogeneous species discovered this time did not travel to that planet in a spaceship. 

“Then?” 

– It seems that they have swum through space with their bare body. And they’re killing old test subjects at random… Eating doesn’t seem to be their purpose. There was also an analysis that it was like some kind of hate expression. As you know, ownership of them still belongs to the Noble One, so we can’t intervene without permission… 

What followed was even more surprising.

– I’m worried that the old test subjects won’t go extinct at this rate. It’s not that there’s no countermeasure, but the weight class gap is too big. 

“How big is it?” 

-Compared simply by body length, the size of the invasive species reached 6,000 times that of the test subject. 

“·······?!” The average height of the test subjects released on the planet was the same as a human. However, if one were to calculate it by 6,000 times… 

“You say their bodies are 12km long?!”
