Chapter 517
If I had appealed to do it verbally from the beginning, it would have been quite sluggish.
I know their habits very well, so even if it\'s forced, it just came out like this.
[...what does that mean?]
“Soon this place will become a battlefield. That\'s all.”
[This is nonsense!]
“It\'s true. coming soon? Did you guys hear it often? The monsters of a thousand years ago who plagued your ancestors quite a bit. And you said you were beaten 100 years ago?”
Everyone\'s mood gets chilly.
I also got Edrels\' permission anyway.
“They are coming soon.”
I told them everything.
Is it to protect this place anyway?
Then they don\'t have to suffer themselves.
After returning after giving ‘advice and instructions\' to the young lizards.
As soon as dawn came, I decided to go into work to hatch the eggs.
[Please.]
Edrels is already waiting for us underground.
Then, will you live up to expectations?
I rolled up my arms and strode toward the tombstone with the egg on it.
“Shen. You help the kids outside.”
“Are you okay?”
“Anyway, no one really has anything to help here. I\'d rather keep nobody from outside... and it\'ll be tough with them. know?”
“....yes.”
and one more.
It felt like I should ask you not to forget.
“Leave at least one guy.”
“....All right.”
Shen nodded seriously and then disappeared outside.
The phenomenon of him moving outside at once is quite similar to teleportation.
Did you apply the fluctuating method?
You\'ve done quite a bit of research. Stepping through space
At least if I leave the outside to him, I don\'t think I\'ll have any worries.
It was good to bring it too.
....But there is something to be concerned about when I see him scattering faint murderous intentions when he turns around, but that\'s what happened then.
Anyway, I can\'t be involved in that part.
He\'s not even the little boy he was back then. Anyway, I\'ll do my own thing.
Allel works!
And clear dragon debt!
“Would you like to try it then?”
I set up the devices I ordered to place around the tombstone.
It is a converter that I roughly made with materials urgently obtained here last night.
[Is that enough?]
“As I said before, what I\'m trying to do is to rapidly concentrate leyline energy into the egg to maximize its effect.”
This is a device to control the flow.
It was made in haste, but this is good enough.
“I use this device to temporarily block the flow that continues to escape and increase the amount.”
It is similar to temporarily raising the water level by piling rocks downstream when the water is still shallow.
[Isn\'t it dangerous?]
“Don\'t worry. It\'s not dangerous...
There will be a slight shock when you break down this embankment later, but that\'s about it.”
I said with confidence.
But the old lizard let out a low groan as if he noticed something in my tone.
[...Does it mean that you\'ve dealt with it?]
As you get older, only unnecessary notices increase.
“That is no comment. I won\'t tell you about my privacy and shameful past. Well, first of all, to prove my innocence, I never wrote anything like that Harial guy.”
That is the same fact as what I said in front of Rerensen last time.
It\'s just that I know the tricks and theories of this because there\'s just such a trivial thing to do.
After all, it\'s an experience.
And thanks to that experience, you\'re saving your grandchildren.
Bow down and thank you for my experience.
After installing the device with such an explanation and checking it once more, I smiled at the cracked eggs.
“ruler? So your grandfather is waiting for you? Are you peepers? Now it\'s time to open your eyes.”
[His name isn\'t Peep.]
“Who said he didn\'t know? Was it just a joke?”
I never thought I\'d live to help keep the dragon alive.
With a wry smile, I started the device as it was.
Through a magic formula I had planned beforehand, the device captures the energy of the vast leyline.
The feeling of being wrapped around a huge waterfall with a rope and pulling it as it is, concentrates the flow and blocks the outlet so that no more energy can escape.
“Ah Edrels.”
[...?]
“Close your eyes.”
At the same time, I took out and put on glasses with excellent light blocking effect.
Sunglasses made by covering the glass with a blocking film.
eye care.
At that moment, this place was enveloped in a large amount of light.
and at the same time.
Unusual echoes and explosions were heard from above.
It is different from what is happening here.
That is what it means.
‘It\'s started over there too.\'
As I expected, it means that the enemies have come in to retrieve the evidence.
Welcome to Dragon City.
And...
‘Wait a little bit.\'
I\'ll wake up only these peeps and then I\'ll clean things up myself.
Until then, have fun with my old apprentice and lizards.
Right before the commotion.
Outside the walls of the City of Dragons.
In the area where you can see the whole view of the outside at a glance, the black dragon was standing there and looking out.
It\'s not like we\'re just standing around looking at the scenery outside.
Her favorite weapon, a huge halberd, was already standing at her feet.
She is not the only one standing on the wall.
A number of dragons have already entered the border as well, each armed.
It was because of the warning given by humans with unusual powers a while ago.
enemies like them.
The prediction that monsters called reincarnated people would attack.
Of course, young people, including Nerel, don\'t know much about the reincarnated monster.
I remember their older generations constantly telling me to beware of the monster.
Did you say that he is a monster that has a human appearance but is out of the human frame?
[Is it really coming?]
It wouldn\'t be a lie if even Lord acknowledged it.
In addition, Nerel is one of the few dragons who knows about the raid incident 100 years ago and the existence of the tombstone.
It was understandable enough that the enemy would come.
That\'s why I\'m here to seriously listen to and respond to those opinions.
[...What is it?]
Nerell, who had been standing there silently, asked without looking back.
At that moment, a white dragon landed behind her.
Delneph spoke casually, as if he didn\'t mind her cold demeanor.
[Unexpected. I never thought you would listen to those humans.]
[You mean they lied?]
[No... they wouldn\'t. Even though he has fallen for the monster, he is not the one to joke around with it.]
If the monster himself heard it, he would make fun of himself even after he returned to the manor, but he was not here right now.
When I honestly evaluated it, Nerell inadvertently turned her gaze back as if she was surprised inside.
However, it soon turned back.
Delneph deliberately pretended not to notice.
[Then Dell. You guys are in too. After this, it\'s our turn to face the enemies.]
[..]
[Or what? Are you going to fight? A guy who has
no intention of returning?
Nerell says as if she wants to shoot her.
[I think the same. I\'m sure I don\'t have the qualifications to step in.]
[Then why did you come out?]
Clearly, Delnef came out to help them.
They even wore artifacts that alleviated internal injuries.
I don\'t need help. go away
Delneph cut her off first and then said to Nerell, who was about to do it again.
[This is his order.]
What?
In the end, Nerell finally looked back this time.
As if expecting her reaction, Delnef lifted his two paws.
In humans, it might be similar to a shoulder shrug.
[....Unfortunately. is an employer If you don\'t do what you\'re told, you might not get paid.]
[...That\'s absurd. Has it just rotted away that much? You pitiful fellow.]
Nerell, who understood that it was a joke, clicked his tongue in amazement.
Or was he originally the one who joked like this?
It was also a bit embarrassing.
[What happened to you?]
[Didn\'t you know?]
Of course I know.
However, it was only in the country of humans called the Holy Land.
After that, I only know that he sneaked into the area where his rare was.
Maybe you\'ll know if you know.
But more than that, she didn\'t let me know about my sister\'s affairs.
[Is that so...]
Nerell hesitated for a moment before opening up, as if he thought that was not the case.
[...What happened?]
[.....]
[It doesn\'t matter if you don\'t want to talk.]
[Because it\'s nothing. I just worked.]
[...Work?]
Sure enough, Nerell frowned at the words that didn\'t really touch her.
I wondered if this was a joke, but Delnef wasn\'t very different from usual, and above all, she, as a blood relative, knew better that he wasn\'t the type to be like that.
[...Does it mean work\'?]
Of course, it is not that he does not know the meaning.
Of course, the dragons living here are not all lazy people.
Maintaining the city and obtaining food to eat.
Also, I work for my own individual research or interest.
However, for them, work is just a duty to maintain the current status quo among their own people.
Isn\'t it just an act to maintain the quality of life now?
[I don\'t understand. Isn\'t your place a human city?]
The monster rules, but humans live there.
There would be no obligation for a dragon to work.
[...to make a living.]
[What?]
Nerell slightly opened her mouth about the reason she didn\'t get along with the dragon the most.
For a moment, ‘Has this pure white guy finally gone crazy with his head dyed white?\' I had a suspicion that
[...I didn\'t remember that he was joking.]
[I\'m not kidding. More than that, it was natural in that city.]
He hides his identity and lives.
Originally, it was to hide from Arell and the monster that defeated him in the past.
Even after being caught by Arel, he continues his life.
Sometimes he wondered what this meant, but he was still going on with his life.
One day, when Arel directly asked, ‘What\'s the point of you continuing to live like that?\', he just ignored it.
First of all, it\'s pretty sincere that they\'re going to collect what they call money for the price to get back the rare.
It\'s true that I\'m gradually realizing that that doesn\'t make sense realistically.
It\'s an excuse anyway, so that\'s enough.
[Nerel, have you ever thought about the difference between us and humans?]
[....I don\'t know.]
[I was like that too.]
It\'s just past tense.
[However, I realized while hiding there. They live each day fiercely because they have something they want.]
Of course, the biggest reason is to make a living.
But more than that, humans have their own desires, so they endure hard labor.
because there is something you want
Because there is something I want to achieve.
