"I'm fine, I'm not thirsty."
Nodding in response, Zark picked up the two cups and dispelled the magic that had created them.
Suddenly a voice was heard.
"They seem to be having fun, could I join in?"
The one who spoke was a young girl, and the way she spoke was quite mature and polite.
"My lord, my only ruler, whom I love, who saved me when I was just a little baby, my dear father"
She had a short one-piece black dress, which was tight to her body leaving little room for the imagination, extended from her breasts and descended pinkish her skin, the section that extended from the waist had the shape of a mini skirt Overall, this dress from an aesthetic point of view had a smooth and elegant appearance.
In the upper part of the torso she had a black long-sleeved blouse which extended to the wrists, the fabric of the blouse was transparent so it gave the appearance of being light and very comfortable, on the back of her blouse, precisely in the center of his back, had the symbol of the castle, the intertwined tree; on her neck was a black choker with Celtic style symbols, hanging over her ears were beautiful Mithryl earrings (a magical metallic mineral similar to platinum) with diamond inlays; she possessed modern glasses with fine rectangular lenses and a metal frame from Mithryl.
The only way to describe her fine facial features, which showed porcelain-like skin, would be 'Beautiful'. Her silver hair stretched behind her shoulders until it rose to her hips, so it did not cover her face and her dark eyes showed a flirtatious and tender look.
She appeared to be fourteen years old, or maybe younger, her childish appearance was composed of a combination of cuteness and elegance, a true beauty (depending on taste).
But to the regret of many, her chest was almost flat, consistent with how old she appeared. They were cup A or perhaps hopefully cup B. Many might object and be upset about this, but actually Zark didn't dislike this.
"Hi Ingrid" Nyos greeted as he waved one of her hands slightly in greeting.
"X2" Frey said as he only raised her right hand.
The girl who had arrived was named Ingrid. She did not even dignify the greeting of Nyos and Frey, who were standing next to Zark and in her place, she walked directly towards him.
Ingrid's body emitted an intriguing smell.
“Didn't you take a bath? Because I'll tell you a secret ... "Nyos began" ... you stink. " And to finish off the sentence "It must be the smell of the undead, since the meat is rotten."
Perhaps seeing Zark reflexively bending down to sniff, Ingrid frowned in annoyance. “… Those kinds of words are very offensive. In case you didn't notice. Our lord is undead "
"What? What nonsense are you saying Ingrid? How could Lord Zark be an ordinary undead? He surpassed the level of any undead, he is a mighty undead God. "
Hear Ingrid and Frey make sounds of "Ah." And "Enn." It was curious.
"But Ingrid has a point" Frey began "Nyos, the words you said were a bit offensive."
"Really? Ehh…” Touching her chin, Nyos thought of a better answer, after thinking, he replied “In that case… Could it be the smell of necromancy? ”
"Hmm..." Frey nodded "... Yes ... That's more likely."
"Ah... whatever" Ingrid shrugged as she approached Zark "the words of a peanut brain and a muscle head are irrelevant"
"Eh ... Nyos, why didn't you say you had peanuts?"
At Frey's stupid question, Nyos raised his voice slightly "I have no silly peanuts!"
"Ah ... well, but don't get mad, although it's a pity, I wanted peanuts"
"Uuff ... in any case" Nyos decided to ignore the stupid moment of his friend and return to the main theme "... If that stench is not from an undead, it means that it is produced by Ingrid right? How long have you no take a bath? library reptile"
"Ha ... what kind of person uses those words against a respectable lady like me?" Ingrid uttered as she glanced at Nyos.
"Respectable lady ...?" Nyos asked himself "I only see a stinky reptile shaped like a girl"
Noticing that the situation was going from bad to worse, Zark decided to intervene "It's enough Nyos"
Nyos upon hearing the voice of his lord, immediately straightened his posture and replied "Sir, yes sir!"
"Ingrid ..." Zark continued "Welcome"
"Thank you, father" hearing the quality words of her lord, Ingrid moved her delicate hands towards Zark and hugged him.
She is Ingrid, guardian of the library and custodian of the deep areas of the castle, she is a Young Sky Mithryl Imperial True Dragon.
Although Damenburg Castle is inhabited by peculiar beings, Ingrid is one of the rarest inhabitants of all, not only that, there is possibly no other Dragonic specimen similar to Ingrid.
Firstly, Ingrid is a dragon of perfect complex essence, half Sky Dragon and half Mithryl Dragon, with all the strengths of these two types of dragon, but with none of her weaknesses.
As a general rule, dragon races become more powerful as time passes, which means that they do not depend on leveling up to gain power.
Although this is a great strength, it is also a weakness. Since they depend on the passage of time (and not specifically on training) to be powerful. It takes centuries for a baby dragon to reach adulthood.
But Ingrid is different, she is a True Dragon, it means that not only does she gain power as the years go by, but she is also able to obtain experience points and thus improve through training and practice.
Her age scale (and her relative appearance) of her does not depend on time, but on her character level, as she levels up, the age she appears will change until the form is established. definitive of it.
In case the above was not enough, Ingrid is also an Imperial Dragon, that means that she possesses a dragon form and a humanoid form, both separated in terms of her stats and classes.
Although some Dragons are capable of taking on a humanoid form; being in that form, they retain all their abilities from their dragon form, which means that in their humanoid form they possess their racial dragon class.But this does not happen with Ingrid, in her Dragonic form she uses her racial dragon class and in her humanoid form she changes all her levels to a character class (which cannot be changed), in the case of Ingrid in her humanoid form she She is a Necromancer.Indeed, Ingrid is a character with two classes, but these do not affect her maximum character level, since she is not using the multi-class system.Ingrid parted her tender lips, showing her wet, reptilian-like forked tongue. She licked her lips once in a circle. A fragrant smell came from her mouth.Although she was a glamorous beauty and could identify as such, due to her apparent age people couldn't help but smile at the contrast. Her height was not enough, even if she wanted to r
"Did my call interrupt any activity?" Zark asked politely, it would be unfortunate if his unexpected reunion provoked some form of disgust. "Not really, I was just checking the current state of the troops in the catacombs." "Excuse me for interrupting, thanks for doing a good job." "I appreciate it, his words motivate me to continue my work" at that moment, Horus' gaze changes position and he goes towards the entrance of the amphitheater "It seems that Andru and Keil have arrived" Following Horus's gaze towards the entrance to the amphitheater, one could see two shadows approaching. Walking in front was Keil, followed by someone who looked like an assistant. Reaching some distance, Keil smiled and bowed deeply to Zark. The man also bowed gracefully "I made everyone wait, I'm sorry." About six feet tall, with white skin which suggested minimal exposure to the sun, Anglo-Saxon features and well-groomed purple hair. His eyes denoted his i
It seemed that no other general would attempt to deny Keil's answer. She truly was worthy of being the King hand. Faced with the seriousness of the generals, Zark's throat went dry and he suddenly had a choking sensation. It was the pressure of being a leader, a physical sensation that firmly compressed his body. His orders would affect the future, so he was a little doubtful about what he should do. Damenburg Castle could be left in ruins because of his decisions ... his mind was filled with unease."... My Lord, feeling doubt is fine, since compared to you, our power is negligible."Keil stopped smiling and spoke with a respectful and admiring expression.“... But as long as you, Lord Zark command, no matter how difficult the task, I ... no, all generals will comply, even if it means destroying ourselves. We swear eternal loyalty to the lord of the castle. ""We swear it!"Following Keil's voice, the other generals echoed in unison. All of
In the center of the Damenburg castle was an imposing tower that protruded from the main building, being the highest structure of the castle, it stood out from the other four towers.This was the tower of the Lord, given its strategic location, in case of siege it was the place where the King (along with his family) had to take shelter.Anyone might think that the final boss battle should take place in the throne room, but strategically it doesn't make sense.For this reason, in the event of an attack, Zark would find himself in his chambers located in the tower of the lord, in which was a secondary throne room, which although it was relatively smaller, did not mean that it was less majestic.For any intruder to reach this peak, he had to collect some special objects that functioned as keys, each of these objects were protected by each of the generals.On the other hand, any intruder who came to the main throne room would find an unpleasant surpris
From head to toe, Keil's entire body was outfitted in plate armor with a platinum-like appearance, each section of the armor being exquisitely crafted to avoid restriction of movement by placing fully articulated armor sections in the necessary places.The edges of the plates had a brilliant crimson color highlighting each plate of the armor, along with this detail, beautiful designs of undulating lines were engraved on each plate that ran through the entire armor.Above his head was a heavy closed wasteland with visor and chin (section of armor that protects the mouth and chin) reminiscent of the one used by knights during the early 15th century, the wasteland visor was completely smooth, only having the eye holes.On his hips was a belt from which hung two long swords, both were to the left of him and although their edges could not be seen due to their respective sheaths, their hilts were beautifully designed.The first had a white Mikarta handle (a mat
Located on the south side of the valley is the entrance to the mine.In front of the entrance there are a series of cabins as well as a building a little larger than the rest, all these structures were made of wood and the wear and the passage of time was noticeable.The building that stood out was the communal hall, which was in the center of the small settlement.After a long and difficult day in the mine, in the afternoon the workers gathered in the communal hall to sing, drink, exchange stories and generally have a good time in a humble way.In total there were 8 workers at the Gelhorn mine.The mine was linked to the town of Gelhorn, a small human settlement located in a small valley in the gloomy mountains, south of the Duchy of Riverland.The town of Gelhorn, being a border town founded by pioneer peasants, does not have a local noble lord, but is considered under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Riverland who in turn designates a mayo
"Are you ... a cleric ...?" asked nervously one of the three miners who had not lost consciousness of him."Or maybe a priest?" another miner continued."Or maybe ..." the last miner started "a magician?"Before Zark delivered an answer, he looked around him, since he was rectifying that his spell had healed the fallen miners.Watching the other miners slowly get up, he realized that they were the same or even more confused than the three miners who remained standing.In his mind, he wanted to respond by saying "I am Zark and I am a Warlock" but decided against it, as DM recalled that in the worlds of magic and fantasy Warlocks do not have a pleasant reputation, since they are generally viewed in an unfavorable light.For that reason he decided not to, instead he looked at the miners and replied "They are only a humble Spellcaster" that answer was not completely true but it was not an absolute lie, since he decided to hide what type of Spell
After a short period of walking, the group saw what looks like a farm, it was made up of two buildings.The first looked like a barn made of old weathered wood, while the second looked like a large family house which was in an equally precarious state as the barn.At the bottom, approximately 100 meters away, was a river whose water flowed slowly; On one of the banks of the river was an old dilapidated structure made of wood, which somehow resembled an old and dilapidated port.As Zark watched the growing wheat fields, he felt something on his back move uncomfortably.Turning his head, he found that Ingrid, who was on his back, was moving.Noticing her gaze, Ingrid said "Please put me down""Are you sure?" Zark asked questioningly in his deep voice, although he seemed kind of perverted, there was actually no malice in his actions.With her face flushed, Ingrid looked in another direction so as not to make direct contact with Zark's ey
The Damenburg castle was a almost impregnable defensive structure. Able to support a siege for years due to the large amount of resources and supplies that were inside.If any intruder was able to infiltrate, it would meet many unpleasant surprises. As the Metroidvania construction of the castle caused its route partially labyrinthic and convoluted.Some areas of the castle were fully blocked and removable if certain items that worked as a key was not possessed.The location of the castle was a total mystery, because it was inside a valley between mountains and in the center of a forest with a deep fog.If the location of the castle was discovered, any unwanted guest would find many dangers designed to eradicate them.The first danger that any invader would face would be a dark forest with a fog so dense and deep that blocked solar light almost in its entirety. Unable to see, the invaders would be lost inside during hours, and even days. Well, the
After nonchalantly walking to the front of the assailant group, Isabell looked around.“Everyone, thank you for gathering in this place for me. Oh yeah, who is your leader? Could we negotiate for a moment? "Seeing that the bandits looked at one of their own, Isabell got the information she wanted. Which meant that with the exception of this man, the others were more than cockroaches. Blood tastes better if it comes from someone strong."What ... what do you want to negotiate?"After seeing the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen, the man who seemed to be her leader finally regained his composure and advanced towards her."Ahh, forgive me. The negotiation was just a joke to get the information she wanted. Forgive me."A few men looked confused, and in search of answers they began to look at each other, but among these men ...
A carriage was speeding away from the walled city.Four strong horses pulled a carriage that was large enough to carry six passengers.The surrounding area was unexpectedly illuminated by a bright moon hanging in the sky… But still, it was foolish to travel in haste on a night like this. Putting up lights, making camp and standing guard would be a wiser decision.To say that the night was a world in which humans were not in control would not be enough. To put it more clearly, the places where the light did not reach did not belong to humans. Countless animals and monsters lurked at night, many of which could see through the darkness and attack humans.On a dangerous night like this, the passengers only felt a slight vibration as the carriage moved down the road.This small vibration was not due to the carriage having excellent suspension, but rather because the carriage wa
Donn started running toward the lower part of town. The city of Riverheim was built at the junction of two rivers, whose flow merged into a new great river which extended from Riverland to the west coast of the Kingdom of Lothal, in Sealand.Due to the conflagration of the Y-shaped river, the city of Riverheim was divided into three main sectors; to the north was the commercial sector, where most of the artisans and middle-class bourgeois population were found; To the south was the Aristocratic Sector, although it had such a pompous name, in reality there were also the headquarters of the guilds, the cathedral of the quartet and the central church in the Duchy of Riverland of the Six Gods, although separated from the public and only available to a few, was the Villa Noble that covered the entire western area of the sector; To the East the popular sector was located, ignoring the beautiful name, that was the place where the poor neighborhoods were, that being t
Azrael looked around the luxurious room. Of course, if one were to compare this room with the rooms in Damenburg Castle, then it could be said that this room did not have any charm.Sure, that wasn't something surprising since he had simply chosen the wrong object to compare. It was like comparing iron to platinum.But even if platinum was higher in price, iron had another kind of utility.Azrael focused his gaze on the corner of the room and found that the luggage was already ready and assembled. They could leave immediately if they wanted to. Since Azrael hadn't prepared it, Isabell must have made it herself when she had left the restaurant."You should have let me pack the luggage."“What are you saying Azrael? Did you want to check my underwear? You are a perverted angel "The young woman straightened her body and shook her head. She was Isabell Dra
The operation was progressing smoothly, although the details of the mission were vague, the objectives were clear; collect information about the human nation called Kingdom of Lothal.As Azrael thought about the direction of the operation, he noticed a man walking towards him."Having to leave at this time must be a difficult decision for you ..."The man who spoke to Azrael was in his forties and fifties, clean-shaven and with black hair streaked with white streaks. Perhaps due to his age and his extravagant eating habits, he had a large belly.He was tastefully dressed, his elegant clothes spoke of a man of a high position."Are you Mr. Bryman?"Azrael nodded slightly as he greeted him, but the man was quick to stop such a gesture."Ah, you don't need to be so polite."His name was Thomas Bryman and he was a fairly
"Is this how your parents met?" asked a handsome man with night-black hair and deep eyes brimming with charisma."Romantic. Don't you think? " were the words of a charming girl whose beauty would amaze anyone who witnessed her, her silver hair was combed in such a way that she had a fringe that covered her left eye; her slim body and abnormally pale skin gave him a fragile appearance."I suppose ... he has the charm of him" said the handsome man, who wore an elegant long-sleeved black raincoat over a black leather jerkin which fitted perfectly to his torso; Gala pants along with refined black shoes finished making up his outfit."Right?" were the words spoken by the charming girl, who was wearing a beautiful black dress with red details; Her dress had a prominent victory style, so on her torso she had a tight corset which highlighted her feminine curves."Moving on to a less ... peculiar topic" began
"I offer you my humble respects, Earl Drake." The man's accent was particularly strong; it was obvious that he was a foreigner. Imperial, perhaps, or farther west, Leom thought, trying to place it. "And you, fair lady," he added as he turned to Shandri, "you are lovely. A beautiful rose between these two withered thorns. "The woman's face lit up at the simple compliment. A lopsided smile crept to her lips and she bowed gracefully without taking her gaze from the man's eyes. And what eyes did she have! They were of animal intensity, loaded with nameless appetites. She was swallowed up by that gaze and willingly surrendered to the sensation.The man had power and was not averse to exploiting it. A slow predatory smile appeared on her face.Shandri felt a force draw her toward the newcomer. It was a subtle but compelling sensation. She took a step toward him."Stop staring at him, woman, he's very unse
Shandri sat on the edge of the old man's bed and wiped the blood-streaked saliva off his chin, then turned her attention to his uncle. He had known him all his life. In other times he had kissed the ground where he walked, but with age he came to understand that man was a worm. "And I suppose I have no say in the matter." Leom studied his niece for an awkward moment as she pushed her long blonde hair away from her face. She was beautiful in her own way, with fair skin and fine bones. The combination of her gave him a charming air of delicacy, although in reality the young woman she possessed the bad temper of the Drake family and she could be as devious as a weasel if she wished. “Not in the least, I'm afraid, my dear. I wish it were otherwise, but I'm not the one who made the law. By accident of birth ... you turned out to be ... female. With no male children, your father's line ends and mine begins as the oldest
