198 Episode 198 "Promises of" Kairyu Kerukatoru "and" Dragon Guardian Cutlass "(Part 2)".txt (1/2)

I see.

I finally understood why Aine was so obsessed with The Horned Serpent.

She was going to boost ...... me in a boyish way with the dishes in The Horned Serpent.

That's why when the mermaid gave me the ”Food Armband”, she hid the ”Horned Serpent” right away. If you use that item, you'll know the effect right away.

...... Yeah.

............ I'd better pretend that I don't know about this matter.

Let's find out what she's up to and see what she's up to in the flesh. It'll be interesting to see what she's up to.

Thanks for the info. ”Kelkator, the Sea Dragon.

”I don't know what it is, but I hope it helped.

With his body bent dexterously and in a seiza-like state, 'Sea Dragon Kerkator' responded.

By the way, Iris and Rafilia are sitting upright next to him.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this.

The two of you and White have had enough of sitting on your stomachs.

'Yes, brother.' 'I'm sorry. Master.” '......suu. Guu...... muy muy muy

But don't tell anyone else that I found out about the effects of the Horned Serpent. Is that all right with you?

Yes, sir.

Iris and Raphilia raised their hands.

''Alright, let's stop talking about this.

''Also, thank you for recognizing Cutlass as the 'Dragon Protector'. ''Kercator the Sea Dragon.''

I looked at 'Kerkator the Sea Dragon' and lowered my head.

The sea dragon also returns the bow in the same way.

After confirming that the other side has raised its head, I continue.

''And while we're at it, there's something I'd like to ask you in relation to the Jiryuu, if that's okay?''

”Okay. I'll tell you.

Thank you.

Before the Earth Dragons Earthgalls disappeared, they gave us information about the Ruins of the Ancient Elves. But Rafilia here is like a descendant of that ancient elf - a descendant of that ancient elf. I want to show her the ruins.

I want to see the remains of the Ancient Elves, too.

Rafilia cheerfully raised her hand.

I'm sure there are some treasures left in the ruins that haven't been excavated by anyone else. If you find something good, it will make life easier for the master and everyone else.

If you know anything about The Ancient Elves, could you tell us?

As I said, the sea dragon made a thoughtful gesture for a while.

And then...

”I have heard that the ancient elves are of a race that builds a system of contraptions...

The system?

'One of the land people I met told me such a thing. I've met a man of the land who said that they were a race that invented all kinds of worries in their heads and prepared for them. Then there may be some such people left in the city, but there is always the possibility that ...... some system is alive and kicking.

I see.

Come to think of it, the Valley of the Mist, where White slept, was also based on the ancient elven system.

There's even a magical bath left on top of the mountain. They must have been good at making things like that.

What kind of city system is that?

”...famous for their living quarters and the like, where they can live without going out. I've heard it's for emergencies.

「「「「──── e」」」」

''──specifically, it's something that can live unaffected by the outside temperature and doesn't have a shortage of water. The fact that they are a worrisome race means that they were always prepared for life. I hear there were baths that flowed, etc.''

「「「「 Oh, oh, oh, oh! 」」」」

Me, Iris, Raphilia, and Cutlass all shouted together.

That's amazing, 'Ancient Elves'.

Maybe we can find a facility in those ruins where we can live without working.

''That's about all I know.''

'Thank you. That's enough!

””Thank you so much!”

We bowed our heads towards the Sea Dragon Kerkator.

The sea dragon looked away as if embarrassed...

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it is not a good idea to have a newborn baby. It's not that I don't want to offend the Heavenly Dragon, either - but of course, I'm sure you guys will understand.

...... Why are you putting in a weird preamble, Sea Dragon Kelkator?

''And I have one suggestion.''

As if to cheat, Kerkator snapped his fangs and said, ”I will help you get there.

”I will help you get there.

「「「「......What? 」」」」

”You are heading north to find the remains of the Ancient Elves, are you not?　Then I suggest you go by boat. I'll tell you the best time to go north of us. We can influence the currents to some extent here, too.

Really?

'I'm worried about my people going to a remote place. The sooner you go, the sooner you return, the better. If you are in a state of 'activation', as you are now, you can send your voices to me, even if you are not here. You can call me when you are ready. I'll come for you.'

Thank you for 「「「「!

Me, Iris, Raphilia, and Cutlass all bowed together again.

''That's great, Kerkator the Sea Dragon.

Now we can easily go to explore the 'Ancient Elf City'. I looked at the map and it looks like it's quite a distance away, so I was thinking a lot about how to get there. We don't know what we'll find on the way.

But as long as Kerkator the Sea Dragon can take us there and back, we can go back and forth without any worries.

Also, thanks to the 'Holy Sword Drasgo', it's now possible to contact the sea dragon even when I'm not in the Holy Land.

Of course, since Kairyu has his own schedule, I can't just casually use it as a taxi, though.

''There's one last request from me.

I said.

'If you notice anything unusual in the world of people, could you tell me?　Some of the sea-dwellers you know who have a relationship with the earth, don't you?

'Oru ...... is limited to intelligent sea creatures and sub-humans, such as mermaids.

'No problem. If you hear from those people that something unusual is happening in the human world, tell me the next time you see them.

'...... Are you talking about the 'White Guild' relationship?　Big brother.

Iris suddenly murmured.

'Yeah. I'm still curious.'

'The Guildmaster of the 'White Guild' has already disappeared, Iris thinks, but ....... That was a residual thought from 'Earth Dragon Earthgulls', wasn't it?

Yes, Iris. But the execution squad under your command might still be around, right?

I...

''You're thinking, Master, that the boss might disappear and the mid-boss and his subordinates might do their own thing.

Iris, haha, held her mouth, and Raphilia took over the words that followed.

'Power struggles in an organization where the head is gone ...... that's a common story in stories.

Maybe I'm overthinking things.

Or, to be honest, I don't want to think about it.

Even if the head of the organization changes, only the atmosphere of the workplace remains, and the members of the organization read that atmosphere and reconstitute the same kind of organization - I don't want to think about it.

Just thinking about it makes me feel gloomy.

I'm sure the 'White Guild' disappeared and the 'True White Guild' or the 'Gel White Guild' or some other power struggle split between the original family and the original ...... I don't have that much time on my hands, no matter how much. So, this is an insurance policy, just in case.

I looked at the phantom 'Sea Dragon Kerkator'.
