Chapter 821: Chapter 822 – Dragons. Allies or traitors? – Part 3.
(Okay. The fuck is this?) – thought Oron.
(I mean, fancy carriage like this?!)
(Did somebody important arrived at the castle?) – thought Oron as with his enchanted eye has watched fancy carriage passed through the gate which instantly then shut closed right after.
"..."
"What the hell is this?"
(A fancy carriage like this, with the official symbol of Wo’won clan?)
(From what I know, dragons usually travel via flying if they can....But.)
(According to the information that I’ve had gathered, there are only few instances when the dragons uses the carriage.)
(Pride.)
(A showcase of dominance in some way.)
(And there are only 2 type of beings in clans that does that.)
(The elders.)
(And the royal family.)
(However, even if it is a poor clan, it is still a freaking dragon clan.... And that means one thing.)
(The member of the royal family of the Wo’won clan is here?!)
(WHAT THE FUCK!?)
(Why are you being so "loud" about it?!)
(...Okay.... This is sus like hell now.)
(I mean, I know I’m supposed to investigate them and what not, but somebody like that suddenly appeared?)
(Is it a lucky timing for me?)
(...Or is it a sight for something extremely bad.)
"..."
(Should I go in or not?)
(This smells sweet... TOO SWEET! To the point it is dangerous if you look at it realistically.)
(...Probably the security will be at its highest level, so moving around will be way harder than originally planned.)
"..."
"Nah."
<<I didn’t went in.>>
<<I know, I know. It could be a chance.>>
<<But at the same time... I ain’t risking it.>>
<<Something is telling me... Nah, my sense are straight up screaming at me.>>
<<Don’t go.>>
<<The risk is way too high and if I were to be discovered, it could be a straight up doom.>>
<<Not only that, I need to have a "private" talk with the dragon king.>>
<<...A hour later, the carriage left the castle grounds.>>
<<They were not hiding or anything, as if straight up bragging about it.>>
<<Do they....>>
<<...>>
<<I don’t trust them.>>
<<Wo’won clan.>>
<<In terms of power, they are the seconds strongest clan of the dragon empire.>>
<<But, when it comes to the wealth, they may be consider the riches.>>
(But why would THEY come here?)
(If the Wumi clan was the one begging for the support, they would be forced to go to them, not the other way around.)
(...Should I fallow the carriage?)
(I need to know who was inside of it.)
(Why are they being so "open" about their presence?)
(...No.)
(This maybe my chance now to have easier time "talking" with the dragon king.)
(Maybe the person who went to talk here will end up straight up "exposing" themselves to the public, considering how they did things just now, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.) – thought Oron as he rushed towards the castle.
"Man... Why the hell didn’t they told us about the visit?" – asked the lizardman knight.
"They must had wanted to keep the visit quiet if they only told us moments before they had arrived." – said the second lizardman knight.
"Still, I thought they would have somewhat longer talk, but they left after one hour?"
"Hey. I’m not complaining about this... If anything, I’m glad that those Wo’won clan’s jerks are out of here." – said the first knight as Oron without being noticed had climbed over the wall.
(They weren’t aware of the visit?) – thought Oron as he somewhat overheard the two knights talking, before then entering the castle grounds and quickly hiding.
(Shit. Guardian Gargoyles?) – thought Oron as he noticed the stone creature that looked like regular statues.
(They must have detection... Moving next to them would be risky.)
(Climbing up won’t work.) – thought Oron as noticed a lone lizardman knight nearby.
(Oh, lucky.) – thought Oron as he fallowed knights without being spotted, who then entered the castle.
(Hm... Detection, and heavy one.) – thought Oron as his skills warned him about the detection affecting the castle.
(I can somewhat handle this level of detection, but making too big of a mess will without doubt expose me.) – thought Oron as he quickly hid, separating himself from the knight he was stalking as the knight in question came in contact with few other knights.
After going on his own, Oron began slowly and carefully exploring the castle... Before then arriving at the armory.
(Magic lock, huh? No problem.) – thought Oron as he used his locking skills to unlock the door leading the armor.
[You have used: [Blending In Master]. The noticeable of your presence has been decreased. Your MP will be continuously drained.]
[You have used item: [Master Disguise Kit]. Your race visual effect has change. You have become lizardman.]
"..."
(Weird. That was way too easy.) – thought Oron as he locked up right back up the magic lock, making it look normal once again, before moments later Oron started exploring the castle ground, while now wearing the knight armor and appearing to be a lizardman to the other people.
(I mean, from the outside it did looked like the security of this place was somewhat extremely high... But once I’ve gotten inside, I can clearly see how much weaker it had become.)
(I really have to only watch out for the alarms and what not... But soldiers are nothing?)
(I guess this clan is way more poorer than I thought and they are only somewhat putting a tough act to at least somewhat appear as something.)
(Then this is really bad, if they are forced to do something as pathetic as this.)
(This clan is straight up dying, isn’t it?) – thought Oron as he explored the castle without any problem, inspecting the building and gathering up the information.
"Excuse me, but do you know where our king is right now?" – asked Oron in his disguised form.
"I have a letter from the Pindon clan."
"His majesty? He is currently in his nest." – replied the maid.
"I see. Thank you." – replied Oron before moments later he traversed the castle and arrived in front of the massive door which was guarded by the pair of two high lizardman knights.
"Halt!" – said the high lizardman.
"Nobody is allowed in."
"I’m sorry, but this is urgent." – said Oron.
"A letter just came in from the Pindon clan, addressed directly to his majesty."
"?"
"A letter?" – said high lizardman as Oron took out the letter.
"We had already confirmed that is indeed the real sigil of the Pindon clan." – said Oron.
"The messenger of the Pindon clan said that we only his majesty is allowed to see the content of the letter."
"..."
"Hand it over." – said the high lizardman as he extended his hand.
"We will give it to his majesty."
"Of course-"
Oron tried giving the letter to the high lizardman... But right in the very next moment, a bunch of screams could be heard in the distance.
"!"
"What was that?!" – asked the second high lizardman.
"I don’t know... But I smell... Something burning?!" – said the first high lizardman.
(Right on time.) – thought Oron as he set up a small fire explosion charges in the castle, which had a delayed detonation that caused a massive volume of fire to suddenly appear, filling up one of the castle rooms completely with flames that began in turn spreading outside, both outside the castle and in the castle corridors.
"Shit! We better check it!"
"Em... What about the letter?" – asked Oron as the two knights were about to run off.
"....Tch. Just do it." – said the high lizardman as the duo ran off to check the situation.
"..."
(Honestly, you should had stayed here and protect this place, since this is your job... Pathetic.) – thought annoyed Oron, as he approached the door and opened it, which resulted in the Oron finding himself in what appears to be a large open space room that was filled with countless different plant lives, a somewhat "natural" themed room.
"...What is this?" – asked the male heavy voice as in the middle of the room, a massive long winged and long necked dark green and bright green colored themed dragon was laying.
"I’ve told you all. Nobody is to disturb me now."
[Dragon King of the Wumi clan]
[King Goror W’u]
"I’m sorry your majesty, but there is an urgent message that you had received and I was ordered to deliver it to you." – said Oron as he was slowly approaching the dragon king, while the massive long-limbed beast lifted it head and looked towards the dragon.
"..."
(Wait.... This smell...) – thought the dragon king as he gazed at Oron in his lizardman form.
"Stop." – said the dragon.
"Who are you?"
"You are no lizardman." – said the dragon king as without hesitation started unleashing his bloodlust on Oron.
[You have been afflicted with [Pure Dragon Terror].]
[You have completely resisted the effect.]
"Nope. I’m not lizardman. I’m intruder." – said Oron as he was completely unbothered by the aura effect that the dragon king was emanating, which ended up surprising the dragon king.
"And don’t even think about doing something like stupid like raising an alarm or anything like that."
"Since this what your enemy wants."
"?"
"My enemy?" – asked the dragon king as he started getting up, preparing himself for the combat."
"Yes." – said Oron.
"I came here as an ally."
"An ally that wishes to find out who had framed your son."
