Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

“Good work.”

“Thanks.”

He said with a wry smile.

Yu Jitae looked at his half-broken sunglasses, and at his torn-apart military uniform with blood stains and dirt all over it.

“Are these tattered rags youre wearing like last time a form of complaint?”

“Well, its not intentional. Just didnt have the time to,” replied BM.

“Wear some proper clothes for today. And heal your wounds too.”

“Why, do we need to meet some esteemed being to get theseed that allows the dead to breathe?”

“Do you have clothes?”

“Maybe. I do have some casual clothes but… he must be a considerably great person or something.”

With his chin, Yu Jitae gestured at the road connecting into the distance.

“Lets have a chat on the way there.”

***

Yu Jitae climbed the mountain with BM.

It was his first time taking a whole day out for something that was completely unrelated to the [Hostility] or the dragons in the 7th iteration.

Just for this day, he postponed the training with Yeorum, and assigned Bom with assisting Gyeouls homework. Because of that, Bom would probably be quite busy today due to teaching Kaeul magic, helping with Gyeouls homework while studying for her own exams.

She asked if she could come with him but he refused.

Was it because this was something he was doing for BM?

No.

Its because this was something he was doing for himself.

“Hows your body.”

The mountains were steep. They were climbing a mountain so tall that the tip was covered by perpetual snow, which they were starting to see in the distance.

“Im fine.”

“But still, you did gather all the ingredients.”

Yu Jitae was carrying on his back the coffin-shaped Level 2 artifact that BM gave him, that had a preservation spell cast on it. Inside were miniscule amount of ingredients that would be used to connect the heart to the body.

For example, although the originally required ATTN essence to create a human was 425mL, they only needed about 0.2mL now. Despite the small amounts, they still needed each of every ingredient so BM had to go out of his way to find them again.

“Would I pull a trick? Im trying to save my son here.”

“…”

“Kuhum… but the mana density around this place is really high.”

Changing the topic, BM looked around. By the time he realised it, mysteriously dense clusters of mana were flooding in from the sides.

“Have you cleaned the inner room?” Yu Jitae asked.

“I got rid of everything. Baby stuff and pictures. Please apologise in my stead to Yeorum. I also got rid of everything she gave as a present.”

“Good. Because those books were second-hand anyway.”

Dumbfoundedly BM smiled.

“She gave a second-hand item as a gift to a kid?”

“The plushie you threw away was also second-hand. That was Kaeuls.”

“Kaeul, is that blondie right? The one those agents were revering as a goddess or something?”

“Shes Yeorums sister.”

“…No wonder it was filthy. Huh, at this point its as if the gummies Yeorum brought for Taebaek were also second-hand.”

Yu Jitae remained silent as BM brought his palm over his face.

“My word.”

“Shes just like that.”

“You must have it rough…”

Yu Jitae gave a faint smile.

After that, the two of them quietly walked on. The sun at the centre of the sky warmly embraced the cold autumn breezes. The refreshing air that could only be felt at the upper mountains made BM more excited today.

BM was slender and was taller than Yu Jitae, but his long legs were probably not the only reason why he was covering more distance at a faster rate. Thinking along the lines of that, Yu Jitae opened his mouth.
