Chapter 146 (2/2)

“No, not at all, the whole ordeal is just absurd to me. It’s only because it’s important for me, but I will leave it at that, I just don’t want it to turn out bad for the priests, so it’s quite fortunate that I will get the chance to look into it myself.” (Irus.h.i.+a)

“In the first place, how do you expect to handle something on the level of an evil plague dragon by yourself!” (Priest)

“I am still inexperienced and need much training for my body to grow with exercise. So I thought that this will be a good match….don’t you think? Also that dragon is clever and it may encounter the amulet in the desert in due time and may destroy it.” (Irus.h.i.+a)

“To do this for such a reason….” (Priest)

The priest says in a low voice, grinding his teeth in vexation.

“So what do you say, my priest?” (Irus.h.i.+a)

“….I will allow it, as an exception, take Adofu along with you. Since there is already a mark to prevent his escape, please deal with him should he try to escape.” (Priest)

“It’s almost as if you want me to kill him.” (Irus.h.i.+a)

“…….” (Priest)

“It’s only a joke, my priest. Thank you for your permission.” (Irus.h.i.+a)

I thanked him and left the room.

I’ve done it, now with this I will be able to take Adofu along with me tomorrow. From there things will move as planned. Really, to go so far just to kick around and humiliate Adofu’s corpse. I guess I need to enjoy the feeling as long as possible. I’m looking forward to what kind of face he will make.

Killing that evil plague dragon won’t be too difficult either. At most it still doesn’t measure up to that sand centipede. Since that survey teams survival rate was so high then it could only be considered somewhere around C rank. There’s no need to use the holy sword on it, so should I test out the curse sword to kill it?

Evil plague dragon huh?

It’ll be worth good money.

Though a percent of it will go to that idiot priest and the church. Well I will be able to handle my matters with Adofu and gain some money on the side, so I guess it isn’t too bad. Considering the future, I may have to let some of the money go to appease the people to get my favor back up. If I use that as my reason then I can just keep everything after threatening the church a little.

Its standard to claim a portion of the dragon. From the top of the head to the tip of the tail, material could be gathered. Since many dragons are rather large it is a good profit. It is said that a small country facing financial troubles will recover with the materials gathered from a large high quality dragon, if they were to subjugate it.

The skin is turned into armor and clothing, and is often used in rituals. If you process the bones and nails you can make magical weapons, as well as craft goods and musical instruments. Even if it’s in bad shape, you can simply grind it and use it as high quality fertilizer.

There really isn’t any well established methods for cooking dishes due to its rarity, but the meat can also of course be eaten. It’s not only used for eating, but also often used for medical treatments and ceremonial offerings.

If it’s a powerful dragon with plenty of magical power than even its eyes are collected, as it seems that you can predict the future from them. Although the usefulness for such a thing isn’t very practical as its magic dries up soon after.

Since its unusual material, lets make protective gear out of it and add it to the collection. I hope it doesn’t leave any strange curses or attaches any ill-effects. But it will still be worthwhile depending on the value. Even if a strange effect is attached you can check it right away and if there is anything disadvantageous I could just leave it with someone else so as not to get affected by it.

Then I could just joyfully watch from afar how that person fairs.
