Chapter 20 (2/2)
The surface of the bridge was slightlyeverywhere
It seee about 20 centih tide
Our horse-drawn carriage went forward to the bridge which was subo
There were statues of huge dragons on the gate of the Island of Messenger
The dragon on the right side was on on the left side was olden color
They were the statues of the dragons of the Founder King of Ignitia, the White Dragon Urthona and the Golden Dragon Tharmas2
Fro as horses flew off
On the back of those girls - the gender of those dragons were unknown, but I called thenitia's dragon knights in red military uniform
To the visitors frohts waved their hands
The dragon knights rose so high that their appearances disappeared with the sunlight and then fell steeply towards the surface of the sea
The two dragons shi+fted to level flight with the sea level, their hind legs came in contact with the water
When the two dragons were going to flew overhead again, their hind legs kicked the water and splashed water drops in the air
”Wow! Rainbow!”
There was a slight rainbow on the trajectory where the two dragons flew in an arch shape
It was a unique welcohts
People from various countries who visited for the Advent Festival cheered and waved to the dragon knights
『Are those the dragons of the South? They are small』
”Is that so? They seem to be about 20 meters in size”
『Only to that degree? They have a long way to go』
Maybe from the sense of a 5 kilometers creature, they were small
However, the dragons who flew freely in the sky were quite a sight
This was the first tion in this world
The Black Dragon Zaratan was an artificial dragon created by ancient alcheons in this world
Such things like Ignitia's dragons and their offsprings were imported creatures from the southern continent Karkinos
A body line like a dinosaur
Thin forepaws and hind legs that were supple and strong
There were no twisted horns like a ram, but they possessed diverse horns for each kind
They understood hue, but they couldn't talk
In addition to that, the flight type had a large pair of wings rese those of a bat
Aical power that couldn't be classified as ordinary aniy had been elucidated to some extent and those that could be raised as livestock were called ical beasts
Such things like Ignitia's dragons, griffins used as mounts by Kalkinos' sky cavalries, and cockatrice used for the core ical beasts
Beyond the classification of er and harder to elucidate were called phantom beasts
They could understand and speak human speech
They could ic ability
Anyway, their abilities as individuals were excellent
There were only few sightings and encounters, and those were only fro ones
There were various theories about the boundary of s that corresponded to one or more of these were eidolons
Although dragons understood hue, they couldn't talk so they were classified as ical beasts
The unicorns which were said to inhabit the Harvan's forest were treated as phanto, there were only few encounters with living individuals
Extraordinarily strong, classification iuage, Zaratan - Tirnanog was classified as a phantom beast
And, those ether, we called them as monstrorum3
Ooh, finally it led to the official title
”Uwah~~……, spectacular!”
When entering the gate of the Island of Messenger, the nu in the sky was further increased
With red, blue, green flags of various colors in hand, the dragon knights flew over the city
As the dragon knights with blue flags were doing looping-the-loop si in an inverted flight
When the dragon knights were spreading out, a large 20-on appeared and spewed a blaze of flames
People were clapping and cheering in response to the blazing flowers bloo in the air
Was it like an air show, as it was called in my previous world?
While it was to make the eyes of the visitors who ca festival happy, it was also an event to display their military power
It was said that Ignitia had roughly a hundred dragon knights who had the ability to ride on flying dragons
Of course, not only the dragons but the city was also beautiful, I felt a unique exotic feeling
Walls and pillars made of white beautiful crystalline limestones that could be collected abundantly in the South
Ventilated buildings
Decorations for the Advent were adorned everywhere
Such things like red banners with Ignitia's coat of arel decorated with flowers, and handel dolls
People earing flower orna
Somehow, it felt like Greece or Italy
Foods sold in such places like stalls and cities were also Mediterranean region-style delicious-looking foods
When our horse-drawn carriage wasto the castle, I saw variety of ical beasts
A lizard of a size si a cart
People ere likely to have money had salamanders on their shoulders
While there were inated froinated from the continent of Karkinos
Ignitia was not lions, it was the home of monsters
The huon knights, could handle ical beasts
They seeentle telepathic ability
While doing so, the horse-drawn carriage caate of the royal castle
Here, e and face the people of Ignitia's royal family
Our servants went to the separate residence of Duke of Aurelia for the duration of our stay in the capital that had been prepared ahead of tis
I felt sorry, but Tirnanog aiting in the carriage while pretending to be a golem
Now, although I was beginning to feel like sightseeing, I had to put y back in
Frouste
The goal this tiuste'
The thing to watch out for was the special event of the Advent Festival, the tion
It was a fancy event that see dragons that flew in the sky
I had to be careful not to s that were likely to beexcited by the rarity of the 10-years-old Prince Auguste
I took out my hand mirror and made a final check of my appearance
Yosh, there should not be any discourtesy
I also fixed my trademark vertical roll smartly
”Erica, are you ready?”
”Yes! Otou-sama I'm ready anytime”
Sorry, audience
I should go and check the face of Prince Auguste when he was a 10-years-old that I couldn't see in the original game
1 Karkinos: means Cancer in Greek If you haven't notice, all the continents in this story were named after the ecliptic constellations (in Greek) Just as a reonist lives, Ichthyes, means Pisces in Greek The author said that the continents look like their na one and a ser) And Karkinos looks like a crab, the peninsulato catch Ichthyes with its claw
2 Urthona and Tharmas are two of the four Zoas when Albion divided into four in the s of William Blake Urthona is the Zoa of inspiration and creativity, while Tharmas is the Zoa of sensation Incidentally, Albion founded a country on an island and ruled there (source: Urthona, Tharmas, Albion)
3 So, this is the big edit I have been translating the title of the original ga, it supposed to be Liber Monstroru to a late seventh-or early eighth-century Anglo-Latin catalogue of marvellous creatures (source) Oh but actually, on this sentence it said ‘lish that et back to the official title, it will be inconsistent if I put it as ‘monstro’ so I just wrote it as ‘monstrorum’ like the title
