Episode 53.6 (1/2)
Lecan drank down his wine.
He was going to fill it again, but realized the wine bottle has been emptied.
”You got no more wine?”
”Oh I've still got some in the cellar. I'll go fetch one, sit tight now.”
Shira went downstairs and came back after a while along with wine, jerky and dried fruit.
”This is one of your hideouts huh.”
”Yup, that's right. I hired that old man as a live-in caretaker to manage the house for cheap.”
She's bold enough to have a hideout smack dab in the middle of the capital. Apparently there's this proverb, <A shrewd rabbit dig four burrow dens>, but Shira's dens are likely nowhere near as few as four.
Lecan chewed on jerky and drank his wine before asking more about things bothering him.
”How many are these Unique Dragons out there anyway.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
”Earth Dragon Ogud, Earth Dragon Imamu, Earth Dragon Toron, Soaring Dragon Yogg, Soaring Dragon Kodan and Soaring Dragon Rudo.”
”Six of 'em huh. Hold it. Are you telling me Dungeon Palcimo was created with Argent Flame Wolf's magic stone?”
”It was.”
”How many are there Divine Beasts?”
”Burstflame Dragon Vada, Wiseflame Dragon Yanpereron, Sovereign Dragon Atracia, and Argent Flame Wolf Grof.”
”Hm? Isn't 'Grof' an individual name?”
”It's the beast's title as well. Argent Flame Wolf remains as Grof no matter how many times it's reborn.”
”Ah, I get it now. And there are eight Grand Dungeons. Err. Tsubolt, Palcimo, Yufu, Egis, Finkel and then... Daina. Then we have <Ocean Dungeon> on Gurijj Island, huh wait? Ah, forgot about Wado. There's really just eight.”
”Yep, that's eight.”
”If we regard Unique Dragons the same as Divine Beasts, there are ten of them in total. Yet there's only eight Grand Dungeons. Where's the other two?”
”Not all wine is created from one type of grape.”
It took Lecan a bit of time to digest the meaning of her words.
”There's Grand Dungeons made from multiple Divine Beasts' magic stones!”
”Why do you look so happy? Every Grand Dungeons besides Palcimo on this continent was made from a Unique Dragon's magic stone with the sole exception of Gurijj's dungeon which was made from three magic stones taken from Burstflame Dragon Vada, Wiseflame Dragon Yanpereron, and Sovereign Dragon Atracia. That's also why that dungeon turned out so absurd. None managed to conquer it even today.”
”Hou.”

”So why do you look so happy again?”
”Why'd they make them?”
”Eh?”
