I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Aurdis blinked her eyes quickly. "(What do you mean?)"

"(As I said. It's not a good thing. You brought the root of a forbidden tree,)" Saeldir said.

"(A forbidden tree?)" Aurdis immediately sat down on the chair in front of Saeldir so she could listen to his explanation better.

"(Calamitimee Vardarianna,)" Saeldir said. "(You've heard of that?)"

Aurdis shook her head. "(I've never heard of it. Is that Quenya?)"

"(Yeah. But that's the Quenya language spoken by generations who were born long before us. It's ancient Quenya. It means the Tree of Calamity,)" Saeldir said.

Aurdis swallowed her saliva. That name does sound bad.

Even just by hearing that name, Aurdis already knew what harm they could get.

"(So where is the red root now?)" Aurdis asked.

Saeldir pointed behind him.

Aurdis tilted her head and saw the red thing in the middle of a Magic circle.

The red thing seemed alive and squirming like a worm that wanted to get out of the circle.

But because Aurdis see it was inside the Magic circle created by Saeldir, she immediately knew that the red thing wasn't going anywhere.

It will stay cooped up there until Saeldir wants to move it.

Aurdis remembered the memories of when they were little.

Saeldir once locked her in a Magic circle he created. And of course, Aurdis was crying while Saeldir was proud of his ability to create a Magic circle that strong at that age.

"(It looks like it's safe in there,)" Aurdis said. Now her tone had become calmer.

"(Yeah, it won't be able to go anywhere now,)" Saeldir said.

"(Now we have to prevent any more part of the tree from coming out.)"

"(Tell me first what tree it is. I've never heard of it.)"

Saeldir then started to tell Aurdis about a cursed tree that had once caused a lot of misfortune to this world.

The tree spreads its evil influence all over the world and causes beings to kill each other.

Wars are created everywhere. A war that was only sparked by a very trivial matter.

But because of the influence of that tree, the slightest problem was enough to start a war that resulted in many lives being lost.

Because of that, the strongest Elves of that era joined forces to seal the tree within a pocket dimension.

The dimensions don't just keep the tree locked. But it could remove the existence of that tree from this world.

"(Why don't they just destroy that cursed tree?)" Aurdis asked.

"(They are afraid that the influence of the tree can make them evil,)" replied Saeldir.

"(Even with their current strength, they are afraid of that tree?)"

Saeldir looked up from his book and looked at Aurdis.

"(It's precisely because they have that much power that they don't want to take the risk of getting close. Just imagine if an Elf with that much Magic power, was affected by that cursed tree.)"

Aurdis swallowed hard as she imagined what was happening.

No, even before her mind had completely imagined what would happen if the strongest Elves of the previous generation were affected by that tree, Aurdis had already abandoned that idea.

"(Where is that tree?)" Aurdis asked.

"(I told you that the tree is located in the pocket dimension created by the strongest Elves of the previous generation,)" Saeldir said. "(The correct question is not 'where', but 'how'.)"

"(Then, how do we find that tree?)" Aurdis immediately changed her question.

"(Didn't figure that out yet.)"

Saeldir said it while continuing to write something.

He didn't even add more emphasis, as if it didn't matter.

In fact, Saeldir was so fo used to how to find the tree that he didn't sleep last night.

Because he couldn't find the way, Saeldir decided to stop his search first.

And diverts his mind by making a note to record that he has found a part of Calamitimee Vardarianna that was released from the pocket dimension where it was locked up.

Seeing the response Saeldir showed, Aurdis frowned.

"(Then, how are we going to handle this?)" Aurdis asked.

"(For a while, we can't do anything before I find a way to open the pocket dimension,)" Saeldir replied.

"(What if another part of the tree escapes and causes trouble?)"

Saeldir sighed. "(We can't do anything about that. At least for now. Or do you have a better solution?)"

Saeldir looked at Aurdis. In his eyes, she could see that Saeldir didn't have any hope that Aurdis could find that way.

And Aurdis shook her head in response a moment later. As Saeldir had expected.

So Saeldir returned to writing.

"(We should focus on how to remove the Magic abilities of people in Erend's world,)" Saeldir said.

"(You're right. So how are you going to do it?)" Aurdis asked.

"(Why do you have to ask me? If it's just dispelling Magic on other creatures, let alone those humans who just touched Magic recently, you can do that easily, right?)"

"(You're right.)"

Then a smile spread across Aurdis' lips. "(That means, I have to go to that world, huh.)"

Saeldir glanced at Aurdis. He saw the look on Aurdis' happy face and the look in her eyes that was wandering. As if a happy scene was playing before her eyes.

"(Don't do anything stupid when you go there,)" Saeldir said, interrupting Aurdis' happy thoughts.

"(What do you mean by that?)"

"(Erend is a human, at least his origin, is a human. Moreover, he is a human who comes from another world.)"

"(So?)" Aurdis seemed bothered by his words.

"(You know what I mean. You didn't really expect to be in a relationship with Erend, did you?)" Saeldir said while looking at Aurdis.

"(With whom I want to have a relationship, that is my own decision,)" replied Aurdis.

"(I don't think so. You haven't forgotten that you are a Princess, have you?)"

Saeldir's words made Aurdis grind her teeth. She couldn't get the words out to reply to Saeldir's words.

Because, what he said was something true.

"(We'd better not talk about this anymore.)" Saeldir continued writing. "(I won't say anything to Aerchon. But you should really think about it.)"
