Chapter 510. To the City of Dragons (3)
[…I’m sorry for the customer, but I’ll say this. It’s hard because I’m not comfortable.]
“It doesn’t matter. The old man… No, you should be considerate of the old dragon.”
When I jokingly said that, the dragon snorted slightly as if laughing.
[Then, be considerate to your heart’s content.]
That response is somewhat humane.
Only then did I say aha and understand one thing.
“….Right. Did that happen?”
The body of that ancient dragon.
understood at once.
“You are the reincarnated person who created this place.”
[…That’s right.]
The old dragon calmly acknowledged its identity.
[Edrels. call me like that Likewise, a reincarnated person who wanders the world forever.]
And he deliberately said that as if he wanted to say that he knew our identity.
“….teacher? Do reincarnated people ever be born as non-human creatures?”
Shen seems surprised, probably because he still lacks experience.
“It’s rare, but it happens.”
Yes.
There is no law that requires a reincarnated person to be born as a human.
As I’ve said before, I’ve also been a non-human creature a few times.
It’s just that the odds aren’t that high.
In any case, there is nothing strange about having reincarnated dragons.
‘In terms of feeling, did I win a rarity in the lottery?’
What you will be born with in your next life is like spinning a roulette wheel.
You can be born as a weak race, or you can become a strong race.
In particular, when it comes to dragons, they are born as a race with a long lifespan and strong strength, so there is nothing else that can be called winning.
‘…Being born into a different race isn’t necessarily a good thing, though.’
Being born into a strong race doesn’t necessarily have this.
For now, I put my thoughts aside for a while and tried to focus on the conversation.
“I guess you already knew about us?”
[It’s not like I don’t hear any news from the outside. No, they are more actively involved.]
“Ooh?”
[There are dragon spies in each country. You’re famous, Areel Ernesia.]
“That’s so embarrassing.”
I didn’t know that either.
In the world, ‘dragons will no longer be interested in human society.’
That theory is the theory.
“Then this city too?”
[Is there any law that tells us to live in a cave and only roll on the stone floor? Unexpectedly, it’s well received by the people. Even if it looks like this, I was an architect in the past. These skills are helpful.]
He talks and laughs quite humanly.
It’s amazing.
Considering the lifespan of that dragon’s body, even if he was a human before then, it would be difficult to maintain that sense.
[A house is a good way to broaden your mind.]
I agreed with a wry smile.
“Yes, because everyone likes a nice house.”
Yes, everyone wants to live in a cozy abode.
I understand. yes i can do it
[Some kids don’t seem to like it, saying it’s not like a dragon. Well, this happened.]
“That’s done. First of all, I’ll tell you… No, you already know that, right?”
[Leyline…is it?]
As expected. That there is a corner to chew on.
If you see that they don’t hide it, it means that they already know that we are noticing it to some extent.
“All the leylines of this continent somehow flow unnaturally in one direction through this place… Who did it? is it you?”
I asked openly, thinking of changing the guidelines from time to time.
“Are you cooperating with him?”
Shen is slightly nervous and prepared.
Depending on the answer, this place could be completely destroyed.
I would like to avoid that situation as much as possible.
[..]
“Tell me if there are circumstances. If not, be prepared.”
[…Let me show you. Let’s talk about the details there.]
Edrels slowly raised his head.
It seems that even that is not easy because you are old.
Then, a number of dragons came in from outside.
In terms of feel, it may be a maid-like position.
For convenience, I’ll call her Maid Dragon.
[Take them to the place where the eggs are.] As
Edrells commanded, the dragon maids moved their heads as if they understood.
The dragons soon skillfully bring a stretcher and carry Edrels away.
And a maid dragon approaches us as well and extends a hand.
Are you saying I’ll see you?
“Then please be safe.”
We put it on the palm of our hand and carefully, as if carrying a fragile egg, took us to somewhere.
“…At this point, bad luck.”
A barrier outside the city of dragons.
Beyond that, a brown-skinned girl sitting on top of a grotesque bird with large wings spread sighed.
Member of the Reincarnated Alliance Caduceus.
She is a reincarnated girl who is ashamed of her real name while dealing with monsters who are often called ‘trainers’.
The reason she is here is because one of her usual duties is to watch over this place.
To that end, she would often stand by here when there was no chores entrusted to her by Harial.
So she definitely saw it.
The sight of Arele Ernesia entering this place.
It’s like a pure white dragon.
“Before that, where did you connect with the dragon?”
She did not recognize that the dragon was the one she had captured in the past.
Because he was already out of her interest.
Rather, the problem is that he ended up here.
“As expected… you’ll notice.”
Unless he had his eyes on a rare monster like himself, there was no need for him to come all the way here.
Especially since I observed his tendency several times, I can guess the reason.
would have noticed
‘The person behind Ernesia Arell is there.’
I don’t know the name, but I’ve seen it a few times.
He was the man who had a grudge against Harial and continued to pursue this trail.
In particular, when it comes to this side, he has intervened exceptionally brutally, so he is considered a target of attention in his own way.
Could it be that he has a relationship with Arell?
The trainer pouted in annoyance
.
Combat isn’t his specialty.
I don’t know if it’s the dragons in there, but I can’t handle those two with my power.
In the first place, her specialty is taming, collecting, and raising monsters. The reason why she dares to cooperate with Herial is simply because the world he creates is an appropriate environment for her.
‘Still, I can’t leave it alone.’
The only thing I can’t handle them is when I’m alone.
And I thought it was the right time.
Even if it wasn’t so, beyond that boundary, my heart was greedy.
A land full of dragons.
Isn’t it a perfect hunting ground for her who collects pets?
Even if you don’t, it’s hard to save more dragons in this land.
Even the dragon I had saved was lost because of Arel last time.
Touching the dragon’s home is forbidden by Harial, and she only watches the outside with regret every day.
However, as long as Arel is involved, you can touch it.
The trainer’s eyes glistened with greed.
All you have to do is pick up the things you’ve been coveting from before while poking around in moderation.
Honestly, dragons are a bonus.
What she covets is what they cherish now.
However, Harial forbade him to touch it unless it was tolerable, so he had to suck his finger and watch it.
I’m just watching because I promised to secure it if I reach my goal anyway.
Still, I want to get my hands on it as soon as possible.
As long as she’s a reincarnated person, it’s not like she doesn’t have desires.
Being patient is just because it is suppressed by force.
But now that Arel is involved, there is a justification.
‘If it’s impossible to do it alone, bring a group of people with you.’
It was something I had assumed that I would fight someday.
He said that it would be better if the blank paper was also used.
Would you fight alone with those monsters?
There are also powers prepared in preparation for such a time.
‘I’m not sure I’ll defeat those monsters with that alone…
but at least the nests of those lizards will be destroyed today.
It doesn’t matter.
‘If the base is destroyed by the strong… it will eventually be fate.’
they have no choice but to accept
Because he did too.
Like it or not, that is the providence.
If you want to go against it, you have to be strong, and if you want to survive, you have to be at least strong enough to dominate all living things.
“Prepare first.”
The trainer stroked the riding grouse to get ready quickly.
As if understanding the command with just that, the rogue bird flapped its wings and headed somewhere.
[This way]
Edrels took us to the basement of his castle.
It wasn’t just a matter of going down one or two floors, it was a fairly deep underground passage tens of kilometers below.
what?
Do you have a hobby of digging in the ground?
It’s not even the Earth Dragon, why the hell did they dig such an unnecessarily deep underground facility?
Still, when I went down to a certain extent, there was one intuition.
Exactly…
“…leyline.”
I felt a huge energy flowing down around me.
To compare it to the feeling of a huge waterfall continuously pouring down.
It is a huge life force that flows ceaselessly under the strata of the stars.
And that waterfall is now pouring towards where we are heading.
“I see…
that’s where we’re heading right now is the point where that leyline flows.
I understood why he wanted to take us here.
Maybe I should just show and explain.
Was he standing here to show his credibility?
[Arel Ernesia. How long have you been born and lived here?]
“How much… about 22 years at most.”
[Short.]
“All humans are like that. you?”
[I’ve lived quite a long time.]
Yes, it’s just like that.
I don’t know what the average lifespan of dragons here is.
He must have lived at least ten thousand years.
[With a body like this… I had no choice but to live a long life. Maybe that’s why, now I’m starting to get a little confused about what I was… It seems like only yesterday that I was embarrassed when I was first born into this dragon’s body…] The old
dragon laughs as if he was self-deprecating.
I didn’t give any reply.
Does he even want to complain about himself?
If that’s the case, it’s okay if you spill it in moderation.
[Since I’ve lived that long… I’ve seen a lot of things here. And I fell in love The guys who live here now… they felt like grandchildren.]
“So. [It’s an old man’s complaint
. listen some more Apparently, when your body gets old, you have no choice but to become sentimental in trivial things.]
“Oh yes. Yes.. you can do whatever you want.”
I shrugged my shoulders and stayed silent as if to talk freely.
Shen has already kept his mouth shut.
[This old dragon’s body is also at its limit…
Maybe I should start thinking about the next thing. But it can’t be that easy.
To that end, there are still certain things to be seen.]
Around the time he said that.
Finally, he and the dragons carrying us reached the front of a room.
The point at which the energy of the currently flowing leylines gathers and flows.
is it right there
[…Go in.]
Edrels said, and the dragons carefully opened the door.
