When he saw the message that he had leveled up, Hyeonu smiled and opened the status window.
‘Status window.’

His stats were different from before. He had obtained the Mysterious Sky Sword, and his proficiency of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art was now at 5 stars. Additionally, all his stats had risen significantly. It was clear that no one could compare to Hyeonu. Hyeonu’s current performance was overwhelming to this extent.
‘I’ve finally found it.’
Hyeonu diligently moved his feet while looking at the stats window. As a result, he arrived in front of the cave that led to Johannes’ residence.
[Would you like to enter Johannes’ Residence, the foundation of this mountain range?]
‘Johannes....’
Hyeonu felt heated up again when he thought of Johannes. This person had thrown him to the East Continent without saying anything. Hyeonu intended to pursue the matter. He couldn’t do anything to Johannes who was a dragon, but he felt like he would only feel better after he scolded Johannes.
“I will enter.”
Hyeonu entered Johannes’ dungeon.
[You have entered Johannes’ Residence, the foundation of this mountain range.]
The moment Hyeonu entered the dungeon, magic power swirled around his body. It felt familiar.
‘Is this teleportation?’
It was the same feeling as when he was moved to the East Continent. Hyeonu was frowning due to his instinctive rejection of his darkening vision, but it soon brightened. A blond man was sitting in front of Hyeonu. “You’re back already? How was the East Continent? Was it worth it?”
“Shouldn’t you apologize? You teleported someone without telling them,” Hyeonu said.
Hyeonu let out a sigh, feeling the desire to argue begin to disappear from his heart. Faced with Johannes’ overly shameless attitude, Hyeonu just had to give up. “Sigh... I’ll let it pass. I don’t think you said anything wrong. So is there a way to go back to the East Continent?”
Johannes smiled at Hyeonu’s question. “Do you want me to send you again? Such work is always welcome.”
Hyeonu shook his head. “You know that isn’t what I mean.”
It was close to an accusation, and Johannes’ expression became serious. “I know. You are talking about releasing the barrier. It isn’t hard to release. This topic even came out at a clan meeting. The problem is that the adventurers are the only ones who can handle it.”
“What can I do?”
“It is simple. You have to prove that you can handle the consequences of removing the barrier between the Balder Mountains and Mount Cheon.”
“How so?”
“First, gain the agreement of the emperor of Yusma. It is an agreement that he won’t start a war unless the East Continent provokes him first. Second, conquer the Balder Mountains without borrowing the power of the empire at all. It has to be done purely with the power of adventurers. I will get rid of the barrier immediately once you reach the top of Cruz Mountain, the highest mountain in the Balder Mountains. Then the continent will become one.”
Johannes’ first condition meant one thing. Hyeonu had to give him justification for removing the barrier. Once the two continents joined as one, the exchange of culture was bound to lead to conflicts and war. This meant Hyeonu needed to have the power to stop a war from occurring. This was the minimum safety device.
If the emperor, the ruler of the West Continent, didn’t intend to wage war first, then the probability of a continental war was decreased by at least half. It was a natural condition for a dragon whose biggest duty was to protect the harmony of the world.
The second was to formally prove his qualifications. Let’s say the barrier was gone. Then what if they didn’t have the ability to conquer the Balder Mountains? It meant removing the barrier was useless. The dragons’ hard work would be in vain.
“How about it? Is it possible?” Johannes looked mischievously at Hyeonu.
‘I have to make sure it happens,’ Hyeonu thought.
This was obviously a jackpot to anyone who saw it. There would be no fool in the world who would give a negative response to Johannes’ question.
“I’ll do it unconditionally. Please leave it to me.” Hyeonu nodded.
Johannes made a strange smile at Hyeonu’s agreement. “Then as I said, the emperor’s agreement is necessary. Get his signature here.”
Then Johannes pulled out a few sheets of paper. Hyeonu accepted the papers from Johannes and slowly started to read them. The papers were written in a very familiar format.
[Peace Treaty]
[The emperor representing the Yusma Empire (hereinafter referred to as the empire) and golden dragon Johannes representing the dragons (hereinafter referred to as the ‘dragons’) will enter into the non-aggression treaty with the East Continent as stated below.
Article 1 of the non-aggression treaty with the East Continent
The empire won’t be the first to express hostility to the East Continent.
(Omitted).
Article 127 of the non-aggression treaty with the East Continent

However, if the dragons think that the empire’s notice is unfair, then they might request an interview with the empire.
