CHAPTER 11: Dragon-san Thinks

I sometimes take on monsters that were 200 years old or even older

That's why I can tell that thesefroth alone

I continued to erase the deic, breath, teeth and claws, until the sun began to go down

Ah, it's been so long since I could last move my body like that that it aler, but that's when Nectar contacted , and both Kyle and hisat me in ad if we could all get along but now I am not sure what the humans will think of ht leather armor that had defensive spells added for an increased protection In addition, a huge belt that could acco froical defenses are way more efficient than physical ones, so that hter set of ar to Nectar's hurried explanation, the Dragon's appearance greatly confused the soldiers here, for he had forgotten to explain to Kyle and his people that ere also participating in the deerous to let people talk further, and so as soon as the explosion subsided he decided to rally his troops in one place, so that they could go and scout out the situation

It also seemed that some of the soldiers here were also the uys were not brave enough to speak withago, et near here, afraid for their lives

Seeing his htly manner, the look on Kyle's face was that of someone as seriously tired all of a sudden

In addition, the explosion of fire was visible and audible as far as the city's walls, and so the city's inhabitants started to panic, saying that the end of the world was approaching Well, I uess that explanation would aan to take the slave curse from his friends one by one, and in response to that people were celebrating with tears welling up in their eyes, forgetting about their fatigue

Oi, you there -- I know that you are happy since you were part of the afflicted soldiers, but you shouldn't drink on your job, you know?

「There are lots of things I would like to say right about now, but first of all, letour lives」

「You should really be thanking Nectar, notfor the ride」

「Still Thank you so very much」

At first he was surprised to hear me speak fluently, but then Kyle only nodded his head slowly

There was so in his eyes at that moment that needed no co to do now?」

I asked after a short while, and Kyle only responded with a huge grin on his face

「Besides icians, there is si There is going to be a coup, all of our brethren in the kingdom'saway from politics for as one, there is nothing that prevents us fro peace and eliminate all discontent」

It seems that the enemies of this country were inside of it, not outside

And it looks like Kyle is one of the major people behind this coup

I should be extra cautious hat I say froet us into trouble

「Co like this to never happen again It's a real sha the Leylines were destroyed We could really use thee about it, so you can leave it at that We, Dragonkind, also don't want soain」

Besides, even if Nectar got disposed of, you would eventually find out soine just how much sacrifice would have to be made for that

To prevent that, it would be better to pass it down in some kind of form that could be prevailed

「Lava, thank you very much!」

Nectar nodded with a serious expression, but Kyle seeht If you know soive up that information too easily That flame and that red aura Tell on that appeared near the border with Rajienda and Doranova 200 years ago?」

What's with those names? They sound like the one's that some delusional middle schooler would cos about all this

「Flaon What's that?」

Nectar seemed to don't know the term, so Kyle explained it to hion around here Rajienda and Doranova were the two countries that would frequently ar upon one another, but both of their armies were completely wiped out one day, after one of the soldiers caon had dropped Upon losing their arhbors According to the records, this dragon couldthe earth into a rocky wasteland, could prevent all ainst it, didn't attack those at power and did absolutely nothing, even when the armies of 50 thousand and 100 thousand soldiers respectively were swar their armies wiped out, both countries had to stop their atte as lost It is said that the Dragon was a gift send to those ished to be free fro called that

…… why does the dark past et re up, I did went on a raet about it」

When he finished giving this history lesson to Nectar, Kyle's tone became cold and merciless

Ouch, what could I possibly say……?

「Oh well, it doesn't really matter now, for each and every last one of royalty here have witnessed the dragon with their own eyes I would be a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity like that Once the reports coon like that is nearby, they are going to hole up in their keeps and residences, tre in fear And it plays in our favour」

It doesn't make me happy that someone is afraid ofsuch a dark history, but I gradually got better after people kept on coratitude

Uh about it

And what about that girl ith this unit before? Hmm, maybe she was somewhere else at the moment……

When I diverted my eyes fro will it take to restore this area?」

「Well, norical power around here is ht But it will take more than that for the land to stabilize Before this place returns to how it originally was, around hundred years will probably need to pass」

「Is, is that so……」

I wonder if I'll ever feel the weight of ht, with his face showing a rare, very serious expression

「…… Kyle, let's try to finish it all in three -- no, in ato stay by Lava's side」

「Your motivation is impure, but it is actually convenient That is, if it can motivate you to finish the restoration sooner」

No, Nectar-san So as serious like that couldn't simply be resolved over the course of three months

Apparently Nectar was okay with any kind of reforms they were about to enforce
