I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Saeldir had finished his meal. He leaned his back and head on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

It tastes really good. All of his energy that had been drained until it made him feel like dying was now back again.

Saeldir realized how fragile they were.

Amidst all their power and ability to use Magic, they still have to struggle not to starve.

There is still a way to fight that hunger by concentrating their Magic to turn into nutrition for the body.

However, that method is never recommended because it will reduce the amount of Magic energy and Magic ability they can release.

So actually, for the Elves even hunger can be a dangerous threat if left unchecked.

"(But how are we going to get there?)" asked Aurdis. "(Do you know the way to that place?)"

Saeldir shook his head. His face seemed to have filled with color again.

Not as pale as before. And Saeldir's eyes now looked sleepy.

Maybe because of the influence of his stomach which already feels full. So his brain exerts energy to digest food.

Only at this moment did Saeldir notice that he was feeling very sleepy.

"(Why should you be questioning that? You can ask Aerchon, right?)" Saeldir answered simply. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

A sigh escaped Aurdis's mouth. Now it was her turn who leaned her head on the chair.

"(I don't know. I don't want to talk to him yet,)" said Aurdis.

Saeldir understood how Aurdis felt for Aerchon. But who else could talk to Aerchon and make him at least feel better except his sister now?

Aerchon had shut himself since then and he was rarely seen coming out of his room.

It became quite worrying for the Elves in the palace.

The leader they hoped for was now shutting himself up and not wanting to do anything to help clean up the mess that had occurred and chose to hide in his dark room.

The blood from his father flowed swiftly in Aerchon's veins. He even inherited his father's traits.

Aurdis, on the other hand, always tries to solve problems as they come.

She was in charge of treating the fallen Elves and helping to restore stability to this palace.

Saeldir of course also helped. However, after being preoccupied with the cursed tree business, he had to withdraw more often from rebuilding the ruined Elf palace.

"(I think you should talk to Aerchon. We can't let him become like that,)" Saeldir said. "(Especially now that we have a new problem.)"

Aurdis clicked her tongue and made an annoyed face. "(You should talk to him.)"

"(If I do the talking, he won't listen.)"

"(What's the difference with me? He also never listened to what I said before,)" Aurdis said while folding her arms in front of her chest. Her tone of voice also sounded angry.

Saeldir sighed. "(Then it's up to you. I don't want to get involved in your sibling fights either.)"

Saeldir didn't know how to solve their problems anymore.

On the one hand, he was not too happy to see the two siblings fighting each other when they should be together.

This problem that comes and goes requires both of them to be able to work together.

However, Saeldir also knows how annoying Aerchon can be.

He himself felt very annoyed with his attitude. So, Saeldir also couldn't blame Aurdis for her to be like that.

"(I'm just going to remind you. With all the trouble to come, it would be best if we could work together to gather all of our strength and force.)"

After saying that, Saeldir got up from his chair and walked towards his bed which was located at the end of this spacious room. Amidst tall shelves and scattered books.

"(You want to sleep now?)" Aurdis asked.

"(Yeah. I couldn't find anything yet. So I better sleep now while I still have the chance,)" Saeldir answered in a weak voice.

Aurdis sighed and left Saeldir's room.

As soon as Aurdis closed the door, the Magic that locked Saeldir's room from outside disruption worked immediately.

The next day came. The military headquarters became extremely crowded due to the incident that occurred yesterday.

Everyone was talking about the incident with worried and even scared faces.

Several high-ranking military officers held a meeting to discuss the incident.

Several surviving witnesses of the incident were interrogated to provide as clear a statement as possible.

Everyone had guessed that this would happen.

Erend felt a little anxious because he had to think of a good answer.

'Calm down. No one saw you do anything suspicious. Those two men just saw a flash of lightning from under the sea and you passed out somewhere so can't remember anything.'

Erend was talking to himself.

He was trying to convince himself not to show any signs that he was worried about something. Or it will just make him look suspicious.

Erend goes into the interrogation room. It turns out, in that room were General Lennard and his daughter, Tania.

Erend had never imagined there was a greater sense of intimidation than meeting someone with the last name 'Lennard'.

But now he met two 'Lennards'.

Which means doubling the feelings of pressure and intimidation.

"Please sit down, Sgt. Drake" said, Major Lennard.

His father just stared in silence. The attitude of the two of them seemed to cool the room's temperature doubled.

Erend sat on the chair in front of them.

He wasn't afraid of them. The fear he felt upon seeing them was not the fear one would feel while facing their enemy.

But because they both wield great authority.

They determine the fate of his family, his friends, and himself.

It was easier to take on Goblins, Lycans, or even Dark Elves than it was to face both of them.

"How are you, Drake?" General Lennard asked.

"I'm fine, General. Thanks for asking," Erend replied.

General Lennard nodded. After that, his daughter continued.

"We will ask a few questions regarding the incident, Sergeant. We ask you to answer as honestly as possible."
