Chapter.38 There is no

such thing as a colored diamond, the darker the color, the more valuable it is, about 10 to 100 times higher than a colorless diamond.

Ultimately, what I’m looking for is black diamonds, but as a second best option, I’ve also looked into blue and pink diamonds.

If black diamonds are like wedding rings, then pink and blue are like couple rings that we share.

Of course, if you teach Lurin the meaning of the ring, she will like it even if it is made of aluminum, but I want to give her the best possible answer.

Pink is Lurin and blue is me. A pink and blue diamond couple ring!

Anyway, after hearing the news, I moved to get my hands on the diamond.

Thanks to Elena’s efforts, I was able to obtain the diamond. Of course, I paid a much higher price than the market price.

That is a natural return to society.

Satisfied that we had gotten what we wanted, Elena and I boarded the carriage back to Great City.

A moment of silence.

Breaking the silence, I spoke to Elena.

“By the way, isn’t Serena going on a rampage?”

“ah! “Maybe so.”

Elena nodded with a surprised face. It looks like he completely forgot about it until now.

“When that happens, hit me hard.”

“yes? How can I protect a great being… .”

“What do you think? The elf is taking the first great step toward crushing the dragon! “Don’t worry, I will protect you no matter what happens.”

Of course, that shouldn’t happen. There’s also Sereina’s pride problem. It was a joke because Elena was a good girl.

“Are you that worried? His face is serious… .”

“that is… Come to think of it, I came without even preparing a meal… .”

“Well don’t worry. “If I give you this, will you be quiet?”

I held Elena’s hand, opened it, and placed the jewel on it.

It is an unprocessed gemstone. However, because it was shining pink, it was dazzling enough even though it was a gemstone.

Elena followed without saying a word and even healed the dwarf who was her enemy. She also helped in many ways on a regular basis.

Since I purchased a larger stone than I could make into a ring, I naturally kept Elena’s share as well. Since he played the biggest role, it is his right to receive it.

“Oh my god, what is this? “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this in pink!”

“It’s called Pink Diamond.”

Elena gazed intently at the jewel in her hand and held it out to me again. This is a truly greedless elf.

If it were Serena, she would have gulped it down even before I told her to go. He didn’t even realize that it was a gift to himself.

“I’m sorry it’s a gemstone, but it’s pretty on its own, so a piece of it belongs to Elena. “I’ll give you one because it’ll be noisy, so I’ll give you a serena.”

This is a preventive measure because if they only take care of Elena and leave out Sereina, who is a jewel otaku, only Elena will suffer.

“Hey… This? I can’t get something like this… .”

Elena stopped while speaking and squeezed the palm that Diamond was holding.

“there is!”

I thought they would say they couldn’t accept it, but the answer they got was the exact opposite. He nodded, muttering quietly to himself, with a look in his eyes that showed some kind of determination.

“this… El… A gift given… therefore… .”

He muttered quietly to himself and began to bow his head to me again and again.

Well, it’s okay because I accepted it.

I laughed and shook my ears and made a joke to the embarrassed Elena.

“Don’t lose everything to Sereina.”

“I won’t lose it! “If you take it away from me, I will squeeze you!”

Earlier, he took a firm stance saying he could never hit the dragon, but his attitude suddenly changed and he let out a historic sound.

“That’s right. “Put it down and come to me.”

Nod nod nod.

Elena nods vigorously. It’s just a rough stone.

Elves have almost no obsession with gold and silver treasures.

However, he seemed to like the gemstone I gave him. Do not open the hand that is tightly holding the jewelry.

Since repayment is just a repayment, I deliberately gave them gemstones instead of crafting them into earrings or bracelets. Because I don’t want to be misunderstood. They may not accept it.

This is my reward for helping me.

And the real gift is a crafted ring to be delivered to Rurin.

The person you should really like is Lurin.

Soon the carriage entered Gray City.

A so-called dummy was installed in Yeongju Castle.

If you condense mana into a dragon bead to create a huge ball of light energy, it will flow out similar to your own mana.

I wonder if I should go to this length to deceive Lulin, but it’s no fun if you know about the gift in advance.

Moreover, if he doesn’t feel a flow similar to his own mana in Grace City, he’s not the kind of guy who will stay still.

After dismantling an energy sphere that emits mana of the same type as me, I stopped by a watch workshop.

Gemstones must be processed. After asking a trusted dwarf watchmaker to do the work, I returned to the restaurant.

Maybe there was an uproar because the restaurant had been away for a long time.

Fortunately, it is said that no one invaded Yeongju Castle. I stepped into the restaurant while thinking about how to calm the grumbling.

Lurin comes into view at a glance.

I was sitting on a chair and dozing off.

Are you dozing off? It happens often. This is the usual scenery up to this point.

What’s different is the note placed in front of Rurin.

I told him to practice like that, but he couldn’t hear it, so he still came back with crooked handwriting! I wrote it down, but I am sleeping here.

I don’t know where he’s going while he’s sleeping.

Nodding.

I nod my head.

Every time I did that, my thin eyelashes trembled slightly.

Gororong Gororong-!

A unique breathing sound comes out. For some reason, the corners of his mouth are turned up.

If you look closely, the repetition is quite cute.

When we first met.

Suddenly, I remember the first time I made a bet with Rurin. It was a time when he always gave me a cold look.

At that time, I never even dreamed that I would also want to put a ring on this guy’s finger.

“die.”

The black dragon shouted. It’s a face with no emotions. It’s strange to find emotion on a dragon’s face, but

“try smiling.”

I shrugged my shoulders. There doesn’t seem to be any emotion.

Iron Lady? Iron dragon?

Aside from the dragon’s large body, its large eyes, nose underneath them, and black skin feel very cold.

For some reason, I was able to read the expressions on the dragon’s face just as people read and notice the expressions on the faces of the same person.

It’s probably the influence of the heart that Rod gave me.

It is the effect of a newly formed heart.

“die.”

Black Dragon’s lines are consistent. Die.

Or fuck off.

At times like that, deep annoyance appears on his face as if he doesn’t have a care in the world. It means annoying.

The facial expressions this dragon shows are mainly negative. An angry face, an annoyed expression, and an expressionless expression as cold as the ice of the northern plains.

“Aren’t you going to be so annoyed now?”

“Of course.”

“You’re sleepy, you’re irritable, and you’re so angry about this and that, right?”

“Yes. “If you find out, die.”

“It’s a face where your eyes pop out because you’re angry and you want to vomit blood.”

“what? Not to that extent. I have no reason to be that angry at someone like you. “It’s insignificant.”

“Ah really? “If it’s not that bad, it’s just okay.”

I shrugged my shoulders, thinking that if it was a normal episode, it was just the nature of this dragon and there was no problem.

Well, even if it’s not a normal anger, I have no intention of leaving.

Everything related to dragon beads. That was my promise to Rod. There were many things to ask of this dragon, which was strongly related to the clue to the solution.

“no! That’s it! So go away!”

The black dragon let out a powerful blow and kicked Rare. If the ground is shocked in this way, wouldn’t there be damage equivalent to an earthquake somewhere?

So, you need to calm down first.

“okay. That’s about it. “That much.”

When I had no choice but to acknowledge it in order to calm it down, the dragon suddenly started blowing its breath towards me.

“Dead or go away.”

“That can’t be possible. Even if it’s just that much, I plan on staying for now.”

Kwaang-!

Breath is rampant.

I got very busy deflecting that breath. The dragon, which had been firing its breath wildly for a while, eventually got tired of trying, probably because its mouth was sore, and glared at me.

“Why don’t you die? “Why are humans so strong!”

“I know.”

The dragon glared at me with a cold glare and then turned its back.

Then go inside the rare and crouch. Perhaps because he was tired, his attitude was that he didn’t care at all.

I sat like that for a few days.

Since it was just growling, no information was collected at all. We haven’t even been able to talk about the information we need.

“good.”

“What is good? not good. “I think it would be better if you died.”

“Would you like to make a bet instead of being too stubborn?”

“Human. How dare you ask me to bet on this insignificant human being!”

Then the black dragon went berserk and started pounding again.

“You can do it. “There are dragons that lose to insignificant humans.”

Quaaaaang-!

As soon as he heard those words, the black dragon became enraged and started firing breath and various types of magic.

These attacks had enough destructive power to devastate the area in an instant, but I received them all and nullified them.

This is a dragon that can’t hold back its anger.

“Why don’t you stop and listen to the terms of the bet first and get excited?”

“… … .”

The dragon quietly glared at me. However, the next line was absurd.

“… “What’s the bet?”

I laugh out loud. What is a bet? A bet is a bet.

“I laughed. die. die. die. die!”

I waved my hand as I was about to release my breath again.

“Stop. calm down. okay. okay. Well, the dragons might not know. “It’s human play.”

“It’s insignificant.”

After barely opening up the conversation, he ended up trying to leave again as if he was annoyed.

So I pulled out my trump card.

“So, if I lose the bet, you’ll get me out of here?”

The dragon that turned its back looks at me again.

“That’s good. but!”

But he still looks frustrated because he doesn’t know what a bet is. So I started explaining.

“So the bet is…” It’s simple. I’m going to cook food for two days, and if you eat it, it’s my victory. If you don’t eat it, you win. okay? The conditions are… .”

“Are you stupid? Human. There’s no way I could eat food made by humans! “He’s a funny guy.”

The dragon heard the conditions and began nodding as if he had already won.

“Then the bet is settled?”

“Do whatever you want. it’s bothering.”

lost the battle

After that, this guy told me to kill him.

But it didn’t kill him. And then he proudly stuck to Rare. The guy who never left the rare even for a moment was acting as if my presence was some kind of cancer. Hoping that this incident would be an excuse to spread information, I came out of the rare.

Operation is food.
