Chapter 79: The Dragon Who Drinks Uranium (1)
Inside the carriage heading west.
There were three girls sitting within. Seemingly exhausted from the long trip, two of them were off in dreamland.
Leaving them be, Lotte shook her head as she looked out the window. It wasn’t to be rid of post-meal drowsiness but rather, she was having issues falling asleep.
Lotte turned her eyes inward; she could see two girls sleeping soundly while leaning on each other’s shoulders.
The one drooling in her sleep was a girl by the name of Freyr Shelkany. Shelkany–a rare family name. It wasn’t one that she’d heard of in the Empire, at least.
Freyr was small in stature. She’d introduced herself as a dwarf when they first met, and was someone good at drinking as well as an expert in transmutation.
Lotte, who enjoyed learning from others, would immediately ask Freyr for help whenever she got stuck on studying Earth Magic. A can of beer was all she needed as lesson fees.
She was small, skilled at transmutation, and could drink even the strongest of alcohols. She had all the characteristics of a dwarf.
Still, that doesn’t make her a dwarf.
The dwarves had been wiped out long ago by the beasts, at least centuries back. No matter how much Freyr went around claiming that she was one, no one took it seriously.
She’s a strange one.
