We Live in Dragon's Peak

"Hey, what's a multi-headed dragon?

On the way back to the city where the Mistrals are waiting. Ask tyrants questions on the sky.

"Is that what the dragon said?"

The tyrant was nearby, so he seems to grasp the conversation with the Grounddragon.

"You're full of heads, aren't you?"

"Hmm. There's no mistake in that perception"

Are you a little dissatisfied with being pressed for an explanator, tyrants snort.

"The body is in a sluggish shape like a ground dragon. Three to eight heads there. There are two to four tails growing. The stronger the number of heads and tails. Anyway, each head is an independent dragon itself, and the torso is connected, so we work together."

"I mean, if you have eight heads, you're relative to eight dragons at a time who work skilfully together?

"That's what's gonna happen"

"I see. That's troublesome."

'What's more, the multi-headed dragon is determined to be evil'

"The ground dragon is warm, the flying dragon feels like aggressive, and the multi-headed dragon is evil?

"That is a dragon tribe, but close to a warcraft. Highly intelligent, but works by instinct. And it does not live in a particular place, and appears in the dragon pulse, ridden like a warcraft, in the divine depths. This time he showed up in the depths of the mountains, and that would be it. '

"I see. You didn't originally live in the depths of the mountains, you suddenly show up like a gorilla and bother your surroundings. Then we'll get out of here."

"Heh heh, you fool. If it's annoying enough, I'm kicking you out in a herd. No matter how many heads work together, the idea is a few dragons. If it's a herd, it's hard to get rid of it."

"Right. You're right when you ask me. But then why are the Grounddragons running away?

I guess I should have asked the local grounddragon, not all this tyrant. I thought so, but the tyrant laughed with his nose and told me.

"The ground dragon said the multi-headed dragon was kept."

"Yeah. You said it. I don't know what that means."

I wonder if I can honestly think of them as being kept like dogs and cats.

"Multi-headed dragons have more connections to the Devil Nation than they have in ancient times. That's an evil connection. So the dragons are running away feeling the signs of the demons behind their backs. I'd say Demonic, but if you're Demonic enough to keep a multi-headed dragon and get used to it, it's troublesome. '

"Ugh..."

There came out a race I never thought I would, and I'm breathtaking.

I can't believe you came to the kingdom of Yortenitos to learn about every demonic tangled troublemaker.

Mr. Grounddragon. What advice did you give me?

Multi-headed dragons suddenly appear in the back of the mountain, behind which are signs of demonic tribes. I don't know at this stage if I'm going to give a little bit to the dragon clan or if I'm plotting evil on people, but as Ground Dragon's head put it, this is going to be a big problem in the future.

Because if you're masterful with people, you expect direct damage, and even interference with the dragon tribe will have aftermath and some damage to the northern part of the kingdom of Yortenitos.

So we have to work out measures in advance.

That's some good advice for the reward.

And this may be better to consult with the country's greats and philleles than to go back and consult with the Mistrals.

"All right, let's hurry back"

Needless to say, tyrants fly at high speeds.

"Master Ernea's fool"

Suddenly, Lila, standing beside me, swelled her cheeks.

... Why do you always stand? Set aside the question.

"Why!?

I'm surprised at Lila's spoiled expression.

"It's a bad idea to use Dragon Heart to have a pleasant conversation with Master Levaria just for yourself."

"Oh, I'm sorry......"

Looks like Lyla was unhappy with being placed outside the mosquito net.

"I don't like being out of company."

"I'm sorry."

I took Lyla's hand and told her about my conversation with the tyrant.

"No, we're the ones who are out of company. Do you understand, Elnea?

"Ugh..."

So much so that the empty journey ended, and me and Lyla returned to the Lords' Hall. The servant of the museum guided me ahead. Me and Lyla, who were put through in the reception room, were waiting for a full sentence.

Waiting in the reception room were Mistrals standing in arms and Jen Wang and Luiseine and Priscia swelling their cheeks with their hands on their hips. Twin princesses pointing at each other. And I slept with Fiorina Reem.

By the way, the tyrant just returned to the sky when he lowered me. And Niemia is the only one who is forgiving by moving over my head as if nothing had happened.

This is that, isn't it? Trying to keep me to myself during the sermon that will begin now. And instead of preventing Mistral's fist bones by riding over his head, you're going to reward him later.

"Nah."

Well, how clever! I don't know what to think, do I? It feels like Niemia is too adorable to let go over my head, and the Mistrals are losing their anger.

Everyone standing in front of me and Lyla, who was forced to take the front seat in the reception room of the hall, was dropping their shoulders like, oh man.

"... so the eggs were delivered safely?

"Yes. Definitely"

"Yes. Then, well, I'll ask you nothing about escaping. You're the ones who reclaimed the eggs."

Mistral to unwrap arms and sigh.

"This one's finished interrogating the big man."

"Saying?

Me and Lyla looking up at Mistral with their front seats on.

"The big man is an adventurer for once. In the kingdom of Yortenithos, he seems to be quite a seller of names."

"A famous adventurer is a thief?

"Sounds like there's a little misunderstanding there."

"Misunderstood?"

"Yes, so stealing dragon eggs is not a sin in itself. Instead, it seems to be a challenging target for the adventurers in arms."

"Hey, what the heck!?

Egg thief is legal? I wonder if that could happen.

Steal the ground dragon's precious eggs. If you do poorly, you can even invite a rampage like this one. Is that allowed?

"Ernea's a little bit of a dragon thinker."

Mistral put aside a beat and gave me a narrative from a different perspective than I did.

"People and dragons are different societies. Especially in this country, we hunt and serve dragons. I don't know if I can steal an egg while I'm at it."

"That's... but look. Isn't it different from a country and an individual?

"That's also a mistake. Nothing. Hunting dragons can be personal. I'm just listing my country and hunting because dragons are powerful enemies."

"That's right..."

"They say dragon eggs are traded at a high price. Looks like they say it will help with incurable diseases. You said if you could get one, you could play and live to the last generation. So it seems there are adventurers out there after a thousand bucks."

"But. That's why, for stealing, if you invite a grounddragon rampage like this one, isn't it going to be a big deal?

"Yes. So it seems like only if you fail and damage people's villages, towns and lives will you be guilty"

"Mm-hmm. Not guilty if you steal well. You mean guilty if you fail?

"Yes. Don't complain to me around here. Recognize how this country works."

"Yeah. I'm not gonna give Mistral a break."

But what a distorted law that is, I think.

"Anyway, if you give the dragon tribe some sort of glitch and damage people's society, give them an arrangement and catch the killer immediately. Until then, it seems like the Dragon Knights are working to hold down the Dragon Clan."

Oh, and reminds me of the situation at the foot of the mountain.

The Dragon Knights were only defensive and had not attacked at all.

I mean, that was, like, time buying itself.

"But you don't know who did it, do you? We happened to have a dragon heart, so we could ask the dragon what he looked like, but it's usually hard to find a clue, right?

"That seems surprisingly easy to find. Because if we hand over those who give a little to the Dragon Clan to the Dragon Knights, whether they live or die, they'll still get a huge bounty."

"I mean, they're all gonna be looking for the killer."

"Yes. If the killer is extradited, we will extradite it further to the Dragon Nation. In case of theft, of course, make a return. It's up to the Dragons to do what they do with the killer. But that seems to cure the disturbance. The Dragons rarely run for revenge."

What cash, I suppose, but I guess it's one way to try to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

"So the big man failed, so he's guilty."

"Yes, I've already handed it over to the gendarmerie."

"Does that mean there could be a reward!?

If we catch the killer, we'll get a huge bounty, right?!?

Ooh, she said she was ready for a debt life for a while, but heaven and earth reversed. Are you a millionaire at once!

I shine my eyes. Mistral pokes at that forehead.

"Fool, I wonder who and who went wild in the city. And what about the Revaria and the others' meals?

"Ugh..."

"Unfortunately, you'll get your compensation money out of the bounty you plan to receive."

"Oh, I don't..."

I drop my shoulders disappointingly.

"Not at all. Care more about other things than money."

"And say?

When I listened back gently, he poked me in the forehead again.

"Have you thought about why the big man targeted the grounddragon egg?

"Isn't that because you're blinded by a lot of money?

"Right. Well, then, try to remember some more of the conversations you've had. If you come and steal the Dragons' eggs safely, you'll get a lot of money to play and live until the last generation."

"Yeah, you said it"

"So who's going to pay that big buck?

"What!?

"Without a buyer, you wouldn't be able to sell it. And it's going to be huge."

Dragon family egg that it works against incurable diseases. But there's no way a regular pharmacist or cook can buy that.

"Even a regular merchant must not be able to do that. Doing so would be luxurious, noble, or…"

"I'll add one thing, but the buyer doesn't seem to be particularly guilty. Because he seems to be in a position to buy what he has. But."

For the first time here, Mistral looked at me with a serious look.

"I questioned who the lord was going to sell it to. That's when the big man said something terrible."

I swallow your sauce and spit.

"The big man had a client. And the client will tell you to carry the eggs to the king's capital while they are deliberately found and chased. If I could have done that, I'd have doubled my reward."

"What, what's that!?

I find it deliberately. I mean, deliberately carrying eggs to the King's Capital with the bounty neck?

I don't know what that means.

"Doesn't that mean the big guy doesn't get anything but money?

"You'd think so. But that's where the big man said it. My own client is a big player in the country, so acquit him if he accomplishes his request. I got a lot of money, and my client will help me if I fail, so I won't be brought to justice here."

"What is that client...?

One step ahead of the core of the case. But there you go, Mistral.

"Couldn't you tell?

"No, the big man didn't even know who his client was."

"How did you figure that out?

To my question, Mistral silently pointed to Niemia.

"Oh, you used Niemia during interrogation."

Neemia can read people's minds. So they measured the veracity of the big man's words.

"The client is unknown. The big man didn't see his client in person either. He received a request from a trustworthy source in Wang Du. I have a bad feeling."

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about."

And here I finally passed on the advice of the Grounddragon to the Mistrals.

"Multi-headed dragons kept..."

Mistral's expression gets more rude.

"Let me be honest with you, regardless of one thing in this country, we should head back to Dragon Peak early."

The gaze of everyone in the reception room gathers in nature and Lyla.

"Um... the..."

Lyla looked anxious and saw me.

"Yeah. I know exactly what Mistral thinks."

Not if you are sticking your neck in an approximate problem at a time when you are also experiencing problems in Dragon Peak.

"But I don't want to leave any time soon. I want to see the king."

Smiling at Lyla, she nodded happily for tears in her eyes.

Everyone was laughing bitterly at things like that, after all.

"I knew it was you, Ernea."

"I forgive you for your kindness, this time."

The twin princess who was pointing that way forgave me.

"It's the only way. Elnea, that's what you are."

As Luiseine smiled, so did Priscia, who was imitating her.

'Mm-hmm. Elnea is not too popular.'

"Reem's not really mad at me."

The young dragon rose from his sleep.

"Well, then, I'm going to pay you a heartfelt visit. But oddly enough, I don't stick my neck in it. weighing in on things."

I replied to Mistral's words, not everyone.
