We Live in Dragon's Peak

"Hey, why is Nguyen here!?" No, no, not now, Mr. Alf. What do you mean that the paradise of the Heavenly Clan has disappeared!? "

At once, the problem continues and I don't understand why. Still, rather than Nguyen's appearance, I had to make sure that Alf-san and the Emperor Venerable Mansion were stunned enough to lose themselves.

Shaken by me, Mr. Alf has finally returned to his senses.

"Ah, ahh..." That's exactly what I meant. From here, you should be able to see the heavenly paradise in the center of the lake. That's... nothing. The whole island is gone. "

"Ehhhh!!"

Compared to the fact that the heavenly paradise has disappeared, it's only a minor problem that Nguyen has appeared now.

Sure enough, Alf-san is right.

In addition to Uncle Mondo, there should have been thousands and tens of thousands of people of the Heavenly Clan living in the Garden of the Heavenly Clan. What happened to those people? I wonder if every paradise of the Heavenly Clan has disappeared.

"No way, the granny of the Dragon Man race saw the glow of her soul...!"

“Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's involved in the disappearance of the Heavenly Clan's Paradise.”

Deep in the forest of the village on the edge. Instead of being blind, the grandmother she encountered had special abilities.

Ability to see the creature's soul.

With his special ability, he looked at many souls as they rose to the heavens from the Dragon Peak. So, I descended the Dragon Peak to investigate more closely and looked at my soul as it ascended into the forest.

My grandmother was watching a serious incident involving the disappearance of the Heavenly Clan's Paradise.

"Huh. An old woman of the Dragon Man race whose soul can be seen." That's interesting, isn't it? "

Then Nguyen shows interest in our conversation.

So, where is the old woman from the Dragon Man race now?

"We can't teach you that, can we?"

Yeah, that's right.

Contrary to Nguyen's bitter smile, we squeeze our facial expressions.

The fact that the heavenly paradise has disappeared is too great a problem.

What the hell is going on here? What happened? I'm very curious. But before we can look at that serious problem, we need to eliminate the immediate threat.

So, why is Nguyen here?

The end of one of the villages where Amira and the others lived. Nguyen took Lord Gildia with him.

I used spatial transitions, so I don't know the exact destination. Still, I'm sure we've made it back to where we have the proper facilities to interrogate Gildia.

I thought I'd just returned to the capital of the Empire.

Why did Nguyen appear before us now?

To my doubt, Nguyen shrugged his shoulders.

"No, I'm the one who wants to hear it." Why are you all in this place? "

"We're just looking for Priscia's parents." At the same time, I was just trying to sightsee. "

"Yes, I was talking about looking for the parents of the toddler girl there." But can you explain why you have to break the Divine Army's seal to find it? ”

"Do you think we'll tell you that as well?" First, we didn't like to break through the siege net, we were just being pursued by the Emperor Venerable Mansion. "

And let's keep that in mind.

All sins went to the Emperor Venerable Mansion.

Even now, the Imperial Venerable Mansion was actually coming after us and attacking us. The truth of my statement should be strong. [M]

It was very different from the original plan indicated by Alf, but sometimes it didn't change.

Someone had to take care of the Imperial Palace. If we don't, we won't have any rest.

That's why we're changing the plan to put that role on Nguyen.

I don't know how much you trusted my story, but Nguyen shifts his gaze from us to the four of the Emperor Mansion.

And, wow, let out a sigh of relief.

"I don't know who you are, but don't get in our way."

"We are the Emperor Venerable Mansion." He is the one who makes known the prestige of the Emperor. "

You know that interfering with us means defying the prestige of the Emperor.

A bear man. A skinny, long-bodied man. Medium-skinned, medium-backed man. Each of them looked at Nguyen in intimidation.

The only woman who showed sharp signs was watching us with caution.

After all, the presence of a woman in the Emperor Venerable Mansion was the most troublesome.

The other three men may have strength, but they are too trapped in the matter before them to think. On the contrary, women alone are always calm, analyzing all situations, and are not alarmed.

Well, if I hooked up with Nguyen the songwriter, I'd be on the side of being flirted with.

That's why I really wanted to press the four members of the Emperor Venerable Mansion, including the woman, against Nguyen.

Nguyen responded to the words of the Emperor Mansion, but returned his second sigh.

And said back in amazement.

"I see, I see." The Imperial Majesty. But, you guys. Is it okay for you guys who have broken through the siege of the Divine Army to speak lightly of the "Imperial Majesty"? "

What?

"What do you mean?"

Nguyen replied to the three Emperor Venerable Mansion who were gazing at him with a smile of disgust.

"If you don't understand, I'll tell you." Remember, it was the Emperor who ordered the First Army of the God Army to lay siege to this land. In other words, you are the rebels who defy the imperial order. "

What's the matter!?

The people in the Emperor Venerable Mansion.

Emperor's Majesty? Did you understand that you guys are the first to defile me?

Nguyen smiled with a smile.

The Emperor Venerable Mansion, which borrowed the power of the Emperor, showed the Emperor's prestige.

Exactly like a curvaceous blow to the mouth.

Looking at the Emperor Venerable Mansion that Nguyen pointed out to us, we gently tried to get out of this place.

The rest is between the gods. I thought.....

"Wait a minute! We've been chasing after those crooks in the first place." We had no choice but to break through the army's siege, and we never tried to harm the Emperor's prestige ourselves! "

Pointing at the bear and the man, we stop moving.

Nguyen looked at me and said, "I can't let you get away."

Nguyen's consciousness turned towards us, and the men in the Emperor's Palace regained momentum.

"Besides, who are you!"

I see that you are not a member of the Divine Army, right?

Nguyen's outfit, like when we met in the village, is that of a common god tribe, even if it seems to be well dressed.

We know who Nguyen is, but we don't know who he is. So it seems that Nguyen, dressed as a commoner, had doubts about being inside the seal.

After all, Gwen wanted to say that he was also the one who defiled the Emperor's prestige.

But Nguyen, the songwriter, can't show such a gap.

"Is that me? I was ordered by a superior who doesn't think of people as people, and I went to the next assignment. I'm a hard worker."

Next assignment?

What did Teyu order Nguyen to do?

Is that the order that brought Nguyen here?

So something is happening that involves the House of Lords?

Or a case that can't be overlooked as a shining martial god serving the side of the Emperor?

If it's about Gildia, is it about Uncle Mondo?

That way, you might be involved in the disappearance of the Heavenly Clan's Paradise?

Various thoughts circle the mind.

But Nguyen can't be honest with me.

Instead, Nguyen turned a deep smile to me and the people in the Emperor Venerable Mansion.

It's just like playing with people.

"Yeah, I don't mind." If you are a God Clan, help us! "

"Yes, these are the sinners who defile the prestige of the Emperor!"

Help us capture them!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Even if Nguyen, the curator, joins the troublesome Emperor Venerable Mansion, it will be a big deal!

Looking at us with an openly disgusting expression, Nguyen put his hand on his chin and thought about it.

And I answered right away.

Nguyen smiles as he does it.

That's a good idea. Now is the time to be curious about capturing someone who tarnishes the prestige of the Emperor, isn't it?

Oh, my God!

I'd be really tired if I was dealing with Nguyen!

Moreover, Gwen's relationship with the shiny martial arts god Teyu was not allowed.

On the day Teyu came out, it would be so hard that I couldn't even look him in the eye anymore.

Speaking of which, he reads and interprets the signs of his surroundings.

I was wary that Teyu was lurking nearby. However, I couldn't read the discomfort of the world that Teyu was lurking in.

So, I guess I should just take Nguyen as my opponent... "Still, it's not that much of a hassle!

Looking at our disgusting expression, Nguyen smiled happily.

And say it.

Therefore, clear out those who defile the prestige of the Empire.

Wow! The three men in the Emperor's Palace who spoke up with a mighty voice.

But the next moment, the three men were lying on the ground.

"Huh!?"

We were dazed by unexpected developments.

Of course, we didn't make the men pass out in an instant.

It's not Nguyen either.

Is this really good, Nguyen-sama?

That said, it was the very woman who looked down at the three men who fell under her feet.

The four Emperor Venerable Mansions that followed us. The last woman betrayed her people and defeated three men.

"Well... what do you mean?"

I don't know what that means.

Why would a woman be in a position to defeat her companions on Nguyen's orders?

Moreover, the woman called Nguyen by honorable name.

Mm.

A woman is a traitor to the Emperor's Palace, but she's in a position to honor Nguyen?

I mean...?

No way!

"After all, you're a good judge." As you can see. "

I did it quickly, and Nguyen smiled as usual.

Is the woman Nguyen's companion?

"No, my men."

“How's it going?

Nguyen tells the truth in a jiffy, knowing how interesting our reaction is.

”In other words, just like I was infiltrating Gildia's pocket, Gina was infiltrating the Emperor Mansion and proceeding with her appointment.”

I knew it was Gildia's entanglement after all?

"Well, that's true, too." The point is, even the organization is trying to figure out what's going on with these people. "

Nguyen points to the men who fell down.

Speaking of which, there should still be a lot of Emperor Venerable Mansions outside the siege.

"I think I already know the Imperial Venerable Mansion, but those who have deeply penetrated the people." However, if they started acting suspiciously as a group, wouldn't the central government care? "

“So, Gina was undercover?”

The traitor of the Imperial Venerable Mansion, Gina, one of Nguyen's subordinates, raised her angle a little to affirm it.

So, Nguyen-sama, where are these guys?

Now it seems that it is the woman's turn to ask questions.

In response to the woman's question, Nguyen looked around at us and gave a light explanation.

"What, these guys are from somewhere else." They're not the kind of people you care about. "

Is that it?

We have broken through the siege of the Divine Army and crossed the border with ourselves. That's right, don't you care if I tell you to?

Nguyen gives advice to a questioning woman.

"Don't do that, I don't want to deal with you, Ernesto."

So many of them?

As much as Master Glossy Martial God directly solicited it, right?

"Ah!?"

Just as Gina was Nguyen's subordinate, Nguyen was also Nguyen's subordinate.

In other words, Gina has a seat in the House of Lords, and she must be familiar with Teu, the Secretary of State. Gina took a breath when she heard that Teyu called out to us.

"Even if we take it seriously, we won't be able to beat Ernea-kun alone." and..... "

Nguyen looked up at the sky.

There was a beautiful shadow slowly descending from the sky.

Golden scales close to silver dazzle, reflecting the light from the lake.

The descending shadow was gripping a boneless, pitch-black, one-handed stick that was the exact opposite of the beautiful figure.

"Welcome back, Mistral."

When I called, the shadow descended and Mistral replied, "I'm home," and turned her hand toward Nguyen.

So, what's the situation?

Gina became an instant chunk of tension with the Dragon Man clan flying from the sky.

Looking at it, Nguyen smiled bitterly.

You don't want to fight a Dragon Man warrior, either, do you?

Then, Nguyen raised his hands to show that he was unwilling to engage.

We scratch Mistral to explain the situation.

Well, I'll miss it this time.

But, I add, Mistral.

"Looking at it from the top of the sky, there was no island in the lake." If I don't get an explanation around here, I won't be convinced? "

That's right, don't forget it.

We need to know more about the truth about the disappearance of the Celestial Paradise than about Nguyen's covert activities.

And Gina, who was lurking in the Imperial Palace, still knew something about Nguyen, who seemed to be joining the Divine Army.

However, Nguyen vanished his curvaceous smile and expressed seriousness in his expression.

"Stop it. Don't get involved in this anymore."

Why is that?

"You don't want to involve Dragon Peak or Ernesto's hometown in the war either, do you?" That's what I'm talking about. "

When you learn the truth about the disappearance of the Heavenly Paradise, will the Empire relentlessly attack other countries to destroy the evidence thoroughly?

I wonder what just happened.....

"Well, on the other hand, you don't understand me, do you?"

Then, Nguyen suggested it himself.

"Look, forget everything that happened here." About the people in the Imperial Venerable Mansion. And the Paradise of the Heavens. Instead, we won't report you to the military or the imperial court. If you go home quietly, I'll let you know that nothing happened. "

It was unusual for Nguyen, and he offered me a perfectly reasonable exchange.

I mean, that's all that matters to the Empire.

Of course, there's nothing else I can say about this.

It's a little rumor that doesn't make sense.

Nguyen's tone strongly conveyed the seriousness of the matter.

But that's why another question came up.

"All right, we don't need to say anything to each other." But I want to ask you one last time. It's absolutely impossible for the Divine Army to keep blockading this area forever. If so, I'm sure that someday the world will know about the Heavenly Clan's paradise. What are you going to do about it? "

For a few years or so, the army might be able to lay the seal. But it won't last for decades or hundreds of years. Then, one day, the secret will be revealed.

What does the Empire think about the future?

Nguyen told me my question in a serious tone.

"Eventually, there will be an official announcement. A terrible epidemic has spread in the Garden of Heaven. In order to appease it, the Emperor did not stop but took measures on each island."

"... it's a lie announcement, isn't it?"

Doing so, Nguyen finally smiled back like a songwriter.

It seemed to me that I shouldn't pry anymore.

We think of the situation so far and the lake where the heavenly paradise has disappeared. And although he was reluctant, he decided to swallow Nguyen's suggestion.

"...... this happened to me."

According to my report, the giant demon king stood up with a stranglehold.

"Charlotte, I'm going to Zhu Shan Palace from now on"
