Pendrick the Healer.

Unlike Cale�s restoration abilities, the Elf Pendrick had the ability to heal others. He joins Choi Han�s group and starts to travel with them.

Fantasy worlds always seem to have at least one elf in the main character�s party. That was Pendrick in this novel.

�The problem is that he ends up dying.�

The original point of Lock�s berserk transformation was Pendrick�s death. He died while Lock was protecting him and that results in Lock going berserk for the first time. It also changes Lock�s personality as well.

That meant that Pendrick should not die if he does not meet Lock or travel with Choi Han�s party.

�They already missed the moment to run into each other.�

Pendrick had not had any interactions with Cale, Choi Han or Lock until now. If one year passes like this, Pendrick would have lived longer than he had lived in the novel.

It could be considered the biggest change in the flow of the original novel.

��Yes, there are no villages.�

Cale mumbled once more and made up his mind.

He told himself that he would avoid the Elf Village when he went to the Ten Finger Mountains next year.

He had taken on too much baggage by not thinking things through and just doing whatever he thought was the easiest for him. Cale was not going to let the same thing happen again next year.

�I want it to be next year already. I do not care if there are no villages.�

Cale looked toward Raon who seemed to be excited.

He definitely could not take a dragon to the Elf Village. He would be treated like a god. Thinking about that was already giving Cale the chills.

Cale quickly turned away from Raon. He strongly reminded himself that he would not even take a step into the Western region until he returns a year later with the crown prince�s golden plaque to find the last ancient power.

Cale opened the small window toward the driver�s seat and spoke to Beacrox.

�Let�s speed it up a bit.�

�Yes, sir.�

The carriage quickly drove through the Western region and arrived at the capital.

�It has been too long, your highness.�

The gently smiling Cale, who was wearing a simple yet stylish outfit, would catch anybody�s attention. JrNovels.com
