I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 232 Night Talk

Aurdis felt anxiety starting to rise in her heart. But, she won't think about anything before Erend says it all.

"What problem do you want to talk about?" Aurdis asked.

Erend spread his gaze around. They are now in the middle of the garden.

The garden seems to be located behind the palace and looks deserted.

Traces of that incident are still clearly visible. The shattered roof of the building and the tower that was broken in half can still be seen.

"I'm sorry for asking you to meet tonight," Erend said apologetically.

"It's okay," Aurdis replied with a smile. "I'm glad to see you again."

Hearing that made Erend smile. Even though he had felt tired a moment earlier, seeing Aurdis' smile and hearing her happy to meet him made the tiredness vanish in an instant.

It was replaced by the feeling of joy that might only come when he was with Aurdis.

"I'm glad you said that," Erend said.

Erend wanted to have a longer conversation with Aurdis. About how she lived the day after the terrible incident that happened to her palace at that time.

Erend was worried about Aurdis. But after seeing Aurdis who looks alright, he felt relieved.

Aurdis was still the strong girl he had hoped she would be. But now there are more important matters.

"In my world, there are people who can use Magic like the Elves. They can use it because of the man who took the key," Erend explained.

Aurdis gasped. She stared at Erend with widened blue eyes.

"But, how..." Aurdis' words didn't continue because her mind was too shocked.

"Yeah. I know this is too shocking. But I saw it with my own eyes."

Aurdis cast her gaze back at Erend. "What do you see?"

"That man is the same man who stole the key. Then, I saw him using Magic as skillfully as an Elf using Magic."

Aurdis stared at Erend without blinking. Her mouth was slightly open and her breathing was starting to get quicker.

Then Aurdis took a deep breath while closing her eyes.

She tried to pull herself together from her shock so she could think better.

"We can indeed teach Magic."

Suddenly Aurdis revealed something that Erend didn't expect. But Erend didn't say anything. He waited for Aurdis to continue.

"We can teach Magic to other beings. But it is strictly forbidden to do so. And the penalty for doing so can be very severe."

Aurdis looked at Erend. "If there are other Elves who know that there are humans, moreover humans who live in other worlds who can use Elves' Magic..."

Aurdis shook her head with a worried face.

"I don't know what could have happened."

Erend listened intently. He clenched his hands beside his body tightly.

'I didn't know there was such a rule.' Erend thought.

"Then you must keep it a secret," Erend said.

"Of course!" Aurdis spoke to Erend half snapping because Erend had just said something stupid.

Something very clear she had to do.

But suddenly, as if coming to her senses, Aurdis apologized.

"A-Ah, sorry. I didn't mean-"

Erend shook his head with a smile. "No, it's fine. It was my fault for saying the obvious."

Aurdis breathed a sigh of relief. Then they resumed the important conversation.

"I don't know what to do. The problems in this palace are not over yet."

Aurdis held her forehead with one hand. Erend who saw it felt bad.

"Sorry to bother you. But I don't know who else to ask about this matter," Erend said.

Aurdis nodded briefly. "I'll try to consult with Saeldir. After all, you've helped us a lot. So I'll help you as best I can."

After that Aurdis invited Erend to sit on the grass.

Erend immediately complied. And when he sat down on the grass, the grass that was already wet with dew made a cold feeling on his body.

"You don't feel cold?" Erend asked.

Aurdis turned to Erend. Then her lips formed a thin smile.

"I feel a little bit cold," Aurdis said.

She shifted until she was pressed against Erend's body. Then unexpectedly, Aurdis put Erend's arm around her shoulder.

"This is better."

Erend finally couldn't hold back his smile. He let his hand rest on Aurdis shoulder. They share a bit of warmth on this late night.

"In my opinion, this could be bad," Aurdis said, continuing their earlier conversation.

"If a single being in your world can use Magic, then it's only a matter of time before Magic merges with your world. If that's the case, I don't know what would happen."

"In this world, Magic has existed for a very long time. So everyone is well-adjusted now. However, problems will be created in civilizations that are suddenly touched by the power of Magic."

"You're right," Erend said.

However, he also knew that there was a Calamity that was targeting their world from an unknown place. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

Erend's plan to ask Aurdis to teach Magic to Billy and Adrien doesn't seem like a good idea based on what Aurdis said earlier.

'Should I tell her about that Calamity?'

Erend looked at Aurdis. He saw Aurdis now smiling while closing her eyes. She looks so peaceful.

'Maybe another time.'

Erend couldn't bear to make Aurdis anxious about the big disaster that was targeting them from a distance.

He just had to get stronger and stronger. That way he could protect Aurdis and this world.

Erend couldn't resist the temptation to raise his hand and stroke Aurdis' head.

His hand stroked Aurdis' silver hair. Her hair felt soft in his hands.

"Hmmhh..." Aurdis let out a soft moan. "Keep doing that. I like it."

Erend smiled. "Is that so?"

"Hmh..." Aurdis hummed again in response.

So Erend kept stroking Aurdis' head. But his mind drifted in another direction.

'I guess I should stop the experiment.'

Based on what Aurdis said just now, bringing Magic into their world was a bad idea. So, he have to prevent it.

'Do I have to kill those people?'

Erend has killed many creatures until now. However, he still hesitated if he had to kill humans.

"Is there a way to remove the Magic from those humans?" Erend asked.

"Yes. I can do it."

"Oh?"

'Maybe I didn't have to kill them.'
