I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk entered the Portal. This wasn't a Portal that was near the palace.

The portal next to the palace was usually used to send troops directly into the human world. The humans would definitely feel pressured if they were immediately treated to hundreds of troops that were ready when they just entered the Portal.

It was for this reason that Aerchon ordered the Portal to come to this place. The Forest of The Rising Sun.

This place is one of the most beautiful places in the Elf world. The Forest of the Rising Sun is sprawling with unique plants and clean cool air.

The trees grow tall and thick. Some of the trees here have leaves with gold and silver colors. Making this forest really like the territory of the fantasy land they entered.

Billy looked around in all directions. He also saw birds with golden feathers perched on trees. They chirped with beautiful tones as if they were singing in the branches of a tree to greet them.

Erend looked at Billy and see him fascinated by the scenery around here. Lt. Boartusk was more focused but he couldn't hide his admiration either.

Only Erend seemed to still be alert enough to keep an eye on the situation.

"Don't let your guard down, Billy," Erend said to Billy.

Billy who woke up looked at him. "I didn't let my guard down."

"You may be fascinated by this forest. But you must remember that we are in enemy territory." Erend warned him.

Lt. The Boartusk in front seemed to have heard too. But he didn't say anything to reply to Erend's words.

"They seem to have taken us to a nice place like this on purpose. They aim to catch us off guard. What a cunning creature," said Erend.

He suddenly noticed the Elf riding the Unicorn next to him glancing at him sharply.

Erend frowned. 'Can they understand what we're saying?'

Judging from his reaction, it seemed that Erend's thought was indeed correct. He had to be careful in speaking from now on.

With the power of Systema Erend felt he could defeat the Elves who were escorting them. But it's a different story if he has to protect Billy and Lt. Boartusk.

They walked for several minutes through this forest. Until finally a building was seen in front.

The building looks like a small palace. It is built with smooth white stones and reflects the sun's rays. There was a silver dome on top that reflected even more sunlight.

As the group drew closer, a female Elf came out of the building and smiled at them. Her hands were intertwined in front of his body and he stood up straight. Like a woman who has been trained to still look elegant in all situations.

"Welcome, Dear Representatives." The woman greeted the three of them. Lt. Boartusk seemed fascinated by the woman's beauty.

After all, Lt. Boartusk is still a man. Billy also seemed to smile in admiration.

Among them, only Erend still maintains full concentration and considers them a dangerous enemy. Enemies who can do Magic and kill them at any time.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Delirien." The woman did not forget to look at the three of them in turn. "I was assigned to welcome and serve you while you were here."

"I'm Adrien Boartusk, Lieutenant. These are my two men, Cpl. Erend Drake and Cpl. Billy Brook."

Delirien smiled sweetly at Billy and Erend. However, when her eyes caught Erend, her eyes stopped for a bit longer.

[ "Systema is blocking the ability." ]

Erend suddenly heard a voice inside his head. He immediately threw a glance at Delirien.

Delirien looked surprised and slightly flinched back. Erend glared at her. 'He wants to do something!'

"What are you trying to do to us?!" suddenly, Erend went on the defensive. Lt. Boartusk and Billy glanced at him.

"What happened?" asked Lt. Boartusk.

"This Elf woman is trying to use her Magic on us," Erend replied.

The surprised Lt. Boartusk looked at Delirien. In addition, the Elves who were guarding around them also seemed to stiffen.

"Is that true?" asked Lt. Boartusk sharply.

"A-Ah, I was only using my powers to check on your condition," Delirien replied with a smile.

Lt. Boartusk, of course, did not immediately believe it. But he let it go because he saw the Elves around them were already staring warily.

The three of them were led into the building. Then they were shown a place where they could relax for a while.

Delirien said that he would call the three of them when lunch was ready. After that, she disappeared from their sight.

"How do you know she's up to something?" asked Billy curiously. Lt. Boartusk also looked at him.

Erend pursed his lips. "I don't know. Since I almost died that night, I've been able to feel a little bit of Magic on the Elf."

Erend lied and hoped that it would be enough for them.

"Oh, I see." Billy nodded. "I've heard that some people gain that kind of ability during near-death experiences."

"Yeah, I think that's what happened," said Erend. In his heart, he thanked Billy for suggesting it.

"That doesn't matter now. Now, we have to think about what we're going to do after this," said Lt. Boartusk.

He's right. The three of them knew they were in enemy territory. And the enemy must be planning something for them. Of course, they had to remain vigilant. The purpose of this invitation was suspicious from the start.

"We have no choice but to do what they say for a while," said Erend. "If we refuse the lunch they offer. They won't take it well."

"You're right," Billy answered. "We can only hope that we don't die from poisoning."

"They don't seem to want us to die. If that's the case, why did they bother inviting us here?" said the lieutenant.

Erend and Billy thought so too. All they had to do now was to remain vigilant while continuing to do what the Elves tell them.

Suddenly there was a knock on their door. The three of them were on standby.

Erend got up and opened the door. His eyes opened wide as soon as he saw who was behind the door.

"Good morning," Aurdis greeted with a sweet smile.
