344 Stealth Stones (2/2)
They looked similar to the lizardmen, but their features were a bit more human than those of the lizardmen and they had sharp horns on their heads. Moreover, they had wings on their backs, although they disappeared after landing, so Yale guessed that those wings worked similar to his own and could appear and disappear at will.
”Our boss asked us to guide the Demon Lord and his subordinates to our tribe.”
Yale smiled when hearing those words because he already expected that situation, but the rest were shocked by the situation, especially the lizardmen. For the lizardman, even if the Dragon Race avoided conflict with Yale due to his status as a Demon Lord, going to invite him was out of their expectations.
The members of the Dragon Race started to fly again, and Yale's group flew behind them. After all, since they were invited to follow, there was no need to be wary of offending them by flying in their territory.
Although Yale could fly without his wings, he was using them to fly because he could fly more smoothly with them. The advantage of having wings was higher in low ranks, but even after the Grandmaster Rank when everyone could fly, having wings still increased the effectivity of the flight.
After flying some minutes, the group finally saw the place where the Dragon Race lived, the top on one of the mountains which seemed to have been cut off to have a huge flat area.
The tribe of the Dragon Race was bigger than the one of the lizardmen, and they also seemed to have a better culture looking at how their tribe looked. Their housings seemed simple but were filled with small decorations that were the result of a lot of work from talented artisans.
It was easy to see that despite the general style seemed unadvanced, the only reason it was like that was that of traditions and not because they were lacking the means of making buildings comparable to those of the big cities of the eastern continent.
”Welcome to our tribe. I am the tribe chief, and I will be entertaining you until our boss returns.”
While the group was admiring the tribe, another member of the Dragon Race appeared before them, and by his aura, there was no doubt that he was a Law Master.
”Boss? You are the tribe chief, but you still have a boss?”
Sebe was the one who asked that question because he understood that it was unusual for rulers with power to acknowledge the superiority of others.
”I am the chief of the Dragon Race, but you should know that we aren't true dragons and we only have some of their bloodlines. However, our boss is a true divine dragon.”
Everyone had heard the rumor about the divine dragon backing the Dragon Race, but they didn't expect that the chief would admit it openly at their first meeting.
”Did your boss leave?”
Yale wasn't surprised by the fact that the rumors about the divine dragon were true, rather he didn't expect that the divine dragon had left after inviting them.
”He went to attend some urgent matters, but he should return soon. Our boss ordered us to treat your group with the same respect we treat him. You can enjoy your rest here until he returns.”
Although the chief wasn't sure of the reasons of the divine dragon to treat Yale's group like that, he knew that the divine dragon was wise and that he should have his reasons.
While Yale's group was landing on the tribe of the Dragon Race, at another mountain, a huge sea monster and a dragon were battling.
”A mere sea monster like you dares to enter in the sacred grounds of my tribe, you are seeking death!”
The loud voice of the dragon echoed on the mountains while the sea monster was cursing on his mind.
”This isn't my fault. I am just obeying orders that I can't disobey.”
Although sea monsters were less intelligent than beasts of their same level, that sea monster was intelligent enough to know that it was between two disastrous options because it couldn't offend the woman who ordered it to attack, not he could beat the divine dragon despite being both Law Masters.
The divine dragon was a peak Law Master while the sea monster was just a normal Law Master, and the terrain also gave an advantage to the Divine Dragon, which put the sea monster in a complete disadvantage.
