Chapter 607 – Dragon Raid (5)
Alps.
A huge mountain range spanning several countries including France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.
One of Europe’s world-class tourist destinations.
So I couldn’t trust it easily.
There is an old saying that if you want to hide a tree, you should hide it in the forest, and if you want to hide a person, you should hide it among people, but the dragon is hidden among all the people gathered at a tourist attraction.
Isn’t it strange that it’s so easy to believe this?
The Pope was the same.
When I heard this information from the Paladins who were like my own, I could not easily believe it and repeated the search several times to obtain meaningful results.
That’s why I was able to convey this request to Kim Do-jin.
At the same time, I became convinced.
The fact that the dragon, which boasts excellent hiding ability and can hide among people for decades, suddenly showed its traces is nothing more than a ploy to attract itself.
Then someone will open the water.
Is there any reason to be dragged into the other party’s trap?
Unfortunately, there is.
‘Dragons are evil in and of themselves.’
Dragon.
A disaster for mankind.
Worse yet, he lost his father to a human who considered him nothing more than prey.
It is a being that will be greatly harmful to humanity in some way.
So wouldn’t it be better to catch them when they are at least one-year-old?
Moreover, the moment the dragon appeared, there were no options left for the Pope.
What if you die without visiting?
Because there is no way to know how the dragon whose revenge target he holds the greatest grudge against is gone will act.
So the Pope sent Kim Do-jin to break the cycle of resentment that had arisen because of him.
Kim Do-jin also brought people together and came here to achieve his own goal.
“Wow, it’s chilly.”
As soon as he got off the plane, a cold chill tightened his body.
Midwinter, no, better weather.
However, for Kim Do-jin and other personnel, it was just a cold level.
This is because the powerful magical power within the body naturally prevented a rapid decrease in body temperature.
Among them, Irina did not feel the cold itself.
“The wind is quite cool.”
In fact, he said that the Vatican was too hot, and he even liked this place, saying it was the perfect temperature for him.
If it was natural, it was natural.
She has lived her whole life in permafrost where her snow does not melt all year round.
Even more so when you think about the power of her sword.
“It’s nice that the air is clear. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay in a place like this after retirement.”
“Wake up from your dream. Will the British royal family let you go?”
“Okay…”
Merlin and Angela are having a conversation while breathing in the clean air coming down from the mountains.
Finally, Han Ju-yeon, who got off the plane, comes to Kim Do-jin’s side and gently pushes her shoulder.
“Do you know that, brother-in-law?”
It’s a dangerous habit.
If you have a bad taste in being called ‘brother-in-law’ in a place where you are not far from other people, it is a bad taste.
Every time that happened, Han Joo-yeon’s face turned slightly red.
It’s as if he enjoys that feeling of immorality.
“What is it?”
When Kim Do-jin asked with a bitter smile, she answered in an even more erotic voice.
“Swiss…, It’s also a very popular honeymoon destination… ♥”
A thick, thick feeling as she subtly puts her weight on it.
It was really amazing.
Aren’t these breasts that have been massaged so much so far?
Still, why does it make me feel so hot just by touching her arm, even between clothes?
I whisper into her ear as she keeps encouraging me.
“Once the raid is over, I’ll fuck you until you die, so I’m getting ready.”
“Ah… ♥”
Han Joo-yeon responds with a sad voice.
After taking Kim Do-jin, no, Son Si-woo, she no longer hesitated.
The woman who latched onto my sister’s husband?
I guess it doesn’t matter.
No, it was actually good.
Even if you adopt the attitude of an animal without any hesitation, there is no place to fall further.
‘Okay. I am an animal.’
He keeps repeating this and wraps his arms around Kim Do-jin.
That too very hard.
A means to relieve the craving for affection or anxiety.
I don’t know which one is bigger, but every time that happens, Kim Do-jin quietly accepts her.
Her anxiety is not something she must bear alone, but a burden she must also bear.
Every time they felt this anxiety, the two people would ask themselves.
Do you regret it?
If you could turn back time, would you change your choice?
Every time that happened, the two people declared.
‘No.’
Even if you make a choice knowing that you will suffer from this anxiety, they will not change it.
That’s because the two are extremely attractive to each other.
After putting an end to the anxiety through the body temperature moving from arm to arm, he said.
“Shall we go?”
“… Yes.”
The destination was a hotel arranged in advance by the Orthodox Church.
* * *
There isn’t much time.
So do I, and so do the people gathered here.
Basically, all S-class hunters are like that.
If you are away for a long time, someone else has to take your place.
Even more so, the wizard of the British royal family, the guardian of Russia, etc.
Isn’t it obvious without even saying how much effort other people have to make to fill the void left by those who are well-known?
Therefore, as soon as we arrived at the hotel, we had dinner and listened to the reports of the Holy Knights who had been dispatched under the orders of the Pope.
“Where exactly was the dragon located?”
The paladin answers my question.
“It is near the summit of Matterhorn Mountain, 10km south of Zermatt, Switzerland.”
Read information about the Matterhorn in the report they prepared.
One of the Alps peaks at an altitude of 4,478m located on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
It was once one of the climbing goals of professional mountaineers, but now no one is allowed to enter the mountain.
The reason is that after the crack appeared, the temperature near the top of the Matterhorn Mountain dropped so drastically that an ordinary person could not survive even a day and would freeze to death.
“Hmm.”
Dense fog beyond the wide window.
The Matterhorn Mountain stands tall, hiding its majestic appearance.
That great scene seemed very artificial to me.
“… “It’s not natural fog.”
Traces of dark magic can be seen among the thick fog.
This means that it is a fog that someone artificially created using magical power.
In fact, the report also states that the fog started forming a month ago and has not cleared at all.
In all likelihood, the thing that created that fog was the dragon hiding inside.
Thinking that it wouldn’t be easy, I shook my head and asked again.
“What is the evacuation situation of residents in nearby areas?”
“As a result of the step-by-step process from a month ago, we are currently in a situation where everyone except a very small number of people have moved to the shelter we have prepared. The remaining personnel will also move to the shelter as soon as the operation begins.”
For now, you don’t have to worry about casualties.
“What is the exact location?”
“We discovered a small crack about 300 meters from the summit of the Matterhorn Mountain.”
“Crack…”
According to what was written in the report, the small crack acts as a kind of passage.
According to the explanation of the person who went in, it is a huge forest where strong cold waves blow continuously…
“Is there a dragon hiding somewhere in there?”
“Under the circumstances, yes.”
Probably so.
One thing I didn’t understand.
That place would be well within the range of measuring instruments installed throughout Switzerland.
“Why hasn’t that crack been discovered until now?”
“That is…, The spot where the small crack was created was exactly a blind spot that could not be reached by the measuring instrument installed nearby. Also, the concentration of magic power emitted from the crack itself is low. Even the area around the crack was covered with snow and ice, making it almost impossible to detect it with the naked eye.”
That’s quite a coincidence.
No, they may have settled here because it is such an elaborate place.
So much so that the red dragon, which likes volcanoes a hundred or a thousand times more than snowy mountains, decided to hide here.
Perhaps even the abnormal drop in temperature near the summit of the Matterhorn was his ploy to discourage people from visiting.
Afterward, the necessary information is obtained through the Holy Knight.
Then, slowly picture in your mind the items you need to prepare.
Winter items to withstand abnormal temperatures that even hunters find difficult to withstand.
Plenty of food to fill your stomach while you explore.
Other various equipment.
When I write it down, the amount is considerable.
So much so that even if we shared the load among ourselves, we would experience significant inconvenience in mobility.
However, this problem was resolved immediately.
“Are you worried about the weight of my luggage when I have you?”
By old man Merlin, who revealed his presence with a proud tone of voice.
Yes.
We had a master of space magic, indeed.
He speaks to the paladin.
“Make sure you bring plenty of the items he just mentioned. At least twice as much.”
“I understand.”
It’s more than twice that.
At that level, the unfortunate event of running out of supplies on the way and returning home won’t happen.
Once again, I felt the outstanding utility of space magic and began to feel the need to learn it properly.
“There is one thing I don’t understand.”
Irina, who was quietly listening to the story, asked us a question.
“This is a space that is nothing short of a weak spot for the red dragon. But even putting aside the reason for hiding here.”
Her cool yet sharp eyes scan her audience.
“What is the intention of bringing us into a space where we cannot properly demonstrate our power?”
“…”
An unexpected difficulty put a brake on our steps.
