dangerous way to choose dragons
Chapter 8: The Battle of the Dragon Kings
Dawn──.
Among the eight gates on the solid street wall surrounding the city, in front of the gate called the main gate, ox carts and people from suburban farmhouses began to gather in order to participate in the day market in the square in front of the city hall.
Because of the high toll and income taxes paid, carts drawn by horses and oxen were loaded with crops, but the passage of horses and oxen, which would shit and dirty the roads, was strictly restricted.
The capital where the king lives.The religious capital is the place given up by the headquarter of the ancient Four-Phase God Religion. The beautiful streets side by side can be said to be the first in the mainland. Of course, the taxes levied here are also the highest in the mainland.
From the main entrance, you can see the front of the royal city. Several guards guarding the gate came out from the hut where the night ball was played.
The soldiers who opened the door to start collecting tolls froze with terror when they saw the white figure walking towards the street.
──That is, undead...?
Soldiers are not without reason.
The silver and gray armor, the white-haired knight in a white silk cloak, still has a bit of night mist, making his outline a bit blurred, and the color of the whole body feels strangely white floating on it.But the metallic sound of armor could still be heard.
Was this man a knight who had closed the city gate when he arrived the day before and had to stay overnight in an inn outside the street wall, and entered the street while opening the door, looking for someone he knew?
Maybe only the servants are awake, but the noble master who lives in this city will definitely not be happy to greet the morning visitors who don't know how to be polite.
Every night, the royal palace and the powerful aristocrats’ homes must have a dinner party. The game didn’t end until late at night, and the elegant and gorgeous day of those people probably didn’t start until noon during the day.
Even if the other party is the royal family of the country, they will still be rejected, let alone a countryman who doesn't know the situation in the capital, come again!
But this strange man in armor doesn't seem like an ordinary existence like a country knight.
The left eye is wearing a blindfold, and the right eye does not know where to look, with an empty gaze.Only one eye opened, with an ominous crimson color, which the soldier couldn't stand.
I plan to report the presence of suspicious persons to the companion in charge of opening the door.
The knight in undead armor had a ruthless smile on his slightly upturned thin lips.
Slowly raised his hand and turned to the street wall, with a hoarse voice──.
""Burst Fire Bomb""
The dazzling light cluster emitted from that hand flew straight towards the double stone wall, and a violent collision occurred.
A flash of light from a point of violent conflict envelops soldiers and peasants near the street walls.The body of the person engulfed by the high-heat light burst into flames shortly after the wailing sound, and all the bones were burned up.
Slower than light, the loud noise of the collapsing street walls in a wide area broke the sleep of the streets of the religious capital.
That was the voice that pronounced the merciless fate of the royal family of the religious capital whose ancestor was the great-grandson of the Holy King Nadia.
The Aiban army led by Prince Riccardo, who was marching in the evening, invaded from the street wall destroyed by Lasegoff, and attacked the front of the royal city without any resistance.
After destroying the front of the street wall, Lars returned to the original appearance of the silver dragon, using the dragon's breath of flame to burn the vast buildings outside the street wall.
Seeing the burning of poor people who were not allowed to live inside the street walls, and the killing of those who resisted, the private soldiers hired to protect the streets fell silent.
The river in front of the king's city was facing the street, and the retainers of the king of the capital cut off the bridge connecting the two banks, cutting off the approach, but the magician Aisaka who accompanied the army summoned the stone bridge, and passed easily.
Knowing about the battle, the vassals of the king of the religious capital fought desperately to protect the lord, and fought with the elite soldiers assembled by Aisaka who had experienced many wars.
After Lagerseff and Prince Riccardo, who had become human again, met, the magician and retainers of the king of the capital were cut in half by the crimson dragon heart sword, and they entered after destroying obstacles with magic.
It was too late to use the escape tunnel under the royal city, and when the captured king's family was brought to Prince Riccardo, the sun had just risen.
According to the records left in the official history, the holy queen Nadia was able to unify the continent in a short period of time because of the help of the monster king Saifad and several dragon kings.
Except for Nadia, who is a human with powerful magic power, only the Dragon King can fight the Dragon King.The strongest dragon king, Yan Lie Wang Saifad, made an oath with her at that time, and the whole land of the mainland was destined to belong to her.
Inherited from the ancient bloodline of the holy queen's direct great-grandson, the capital dominated by the royal family known as the most famous family fell within half a day after the invaders started their attack.
After realizing that the military regulations of the Fengban Army seem to be quite strict and they hardly engage in looting, a sense of reassurance floated among the citizens for a while.
It would be fine if only the king's account was taken and our own lives were not ruined──In such an era, the common people of any country felt the same way.
But the great nobles who have the blood relationship of the royal family and are proud of this glory are now trembling.They knew that ordinary soldiers hadn't plundered yet because the plunder order from King Aizaka hadn't arrived, and once it started, the greedy hand would never miss them.
A collection of expensive and easy-to-handle items like jewels, pre-hidden in place.Planning to seize the opportunity, he disguised himself as a civilian and fled the streets among the peasants leaving the market.
And the nobles who married the daughters of King Aisaka were worried about how to ask their wives to speak well in front of King Aisaka of their own family.
The soldiers with the order of Prince Riccardo went to the homes of nobles and powerful people one by one, and gathered them in the square in front of the city hall.
The square in front of the town hall is where public executions of criminals are held.
In other countries, the execution of sinners is carried out in the square in front of the great temple, but in the religious capital where the great temple is located in the main mountain, it is carried out in the square in front of the city hall, which is larger than the square in front of the temple.
The nobles who came here trembled with terror, and when they saw the ordinary citizens who came here to visit, they thought of a possibility.
The execution of the king's family——.
The weak people immediately fainted due to shock, and the retainers who followed were panicked.
But Prince Riccardo didn't let them go, and was called again.
The many pale-faced nobles and the crowd that could almost flood the square were watching the execution platform guarded by the soldiers of the Aisaka Army.
From the windows of the houses facing the square and the city hall, many people peeked out at the square from behind.
The king and queen with their hands tied behind them, and several princes headed by the crown prince were brought in line up.The crowd in the square groaned in unison.
"Even the queen was brought to be beheaded..."
"Young children, including the crown prince?"
Whispers of conversation everywhere contain concerns.That's because of the inner fear that if you criticize the conqueror loudly, you may be informed.
There are also people who ruthlessly describe their feelings for the old rulers.
"There's no other way. The royal family, who enjoy privileges, must also be prepared to be killed now."
"Shhh. It's too loud, Fern," scolded Yakenjal, who was beside him.
Ulan Boke helped the two find ordinary clothes to change into, and even put a cloak on them before they came to the square.
They just came here from Zongben Mountain, just following the movement of the citizens who came to the square.
"If I were a man, I'd be there with my wife."
"It's ironic, isn't it?...It's calm now, do you want to help now?"
The young man whispered in the ear of the daughter of the king of the teaching capital, and the female knight replied in the same way.
Her tone of voice remained unchanged from usual.
"Put our lives in danger? Is the royal family worth losing their country? ... Oh, not worth it at all."
The order in which the royal family was executed was arranged.First the Crown Princess, then the King's three concubines, then in order from the youngest prince to the Crown Prince, and finally the King.
The heavy axes continued to hit, and the heads of the people bent over on the beheading platform were chopped off.
After each terrible blood spatter, the crowd in the square wailed.
"Is it louder than the wailing that time?" Ulan Pok said with simple thoughts.
The current Holy United Army is winning consecutive battles. However, if they are caught when they lose, they must be mentally prepared for such an end. Yake didn't speak, and looked at it with an unchanged expression.
At the end of the king, even the people watching from a distance were shaken all over.Unable to walk to the execution platform by himself, he was dragged by the executioner and the soldiers who served as assistants.
Then there is the preparation before the beheading, but it has not been cut off for a long time.
The king's screams were completely eliminated by the noisy voices and did not reach the edge of the square, but it was generally detectable from the violent body movements of the people.
"That's enough. Let's get out now while we're among the citizens who are going back at the end!"
Without waiting for a reply from her friends, Felicia turned around and left.
Yake and Ur left there following her who didn't speak.
Different from the orderly and well-developed small streets and streets in Zongbenshan, even the inner streets of Jiaodu are full of refined and elegant atmosphere.
However, regardless of the house, the curtains and shutters are closed, conveying the tension of people who have to live with the aggressors starting today.
The female knight who walked silently until she couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the square finally spoke.
"It's my heart that's wrong. Seeing the scene where my father and half-brother were killed, I didn't feel any emotion at all. Last time, when I broke my beloved vase, I was quite surprised and sad. This kind of me I really don't understand!"
The weak voice didn't seem like what she said.
Yakenjel responded directly.
"Recently, I've been thinking that I can only sympathize with my mother for her pain and sorrow. It is impossible to live without pain. But if I want to forgive her for what she has done, I don't care whether I accept it or not, mother. His behavior is already a doomed fact. Is Fern blaming myself for our weakness of being clinging to the past until now? This is different. It is a crime that has carved a scar on the heart of a child that cannot be erased in a lifetime. sinners are our parents."
Fen showed a surprised expression, and Ulan Pok also interjected.
"When you are in a bad mood, you will feel that such a death is retribution. When you are in a good mood, you will think that there is no need to be sad. If you are still a child, for the parents who planned to kill them according to their own likes and dislikes, this time they will be killed. no more. Dead parents do not add to the painful memory.──My mother is alive.”
Yake and Fern stopped and looked back at the boy at the end at the same time.
Ulan Pok, who was talking lightly, was full of unpleasantness in the last part.
Asked the swearer who knew about the feud between the Dragon King's mother and son.
"Have you been told anything after using the possession magic?"
"The same mouth that said she wanted to kill me, who was useless, that I was her pride. It was a hundred times more angry than when she heard that she was going to kill me."
"It's really the complete opposite." After understanding the detailed situation, the female knight said in surprise.
"Although I disdain her, it is the parents of the child who give birth to the child anyway. The child cannot choose the parents. The natural misfortune can only be made up for by obtaining happiness with one's own strength. I got it when I met Alzel, so I endured it Mother."
"...Still boasting in the end, tricky brat? The father of the capital king was executed. Should I use your words to restore my mood?"
"I'm sorry, Felicia. Ur meant no harm. I'm really sorry, I made a mistake too."
The flushed Yake desperately apologized.
But the king of the ignorant Dragon King replied.
"If you're envious, Nian—older and beautiful sister. You also try to find a lifelong vower."
"Don't say it, did it on purpose? If you don't want me to snatch away the one and only candidate for the vower. And this is a line that can only be said by people who want a partner of the opposite sex. Do you understand? The virgin king of the HOMO dragon."
The resurrected female knight made two combos, and Ur was completely defeated.
Jacques, who tried his best to hold back his laughter, walked holding the hand of the stunned boy.
The surroundings were unknowingly dyed with the color of the setting sun.
"Go back and report to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
"Well, only my aunt was not executed, and she was planning to use it as a deal with the religious order! If it was ten years ago, it can be said that this unusable tool would be abandoned, but I don't understand that old guy now how to think."
Arkanzel wondered whether Feliatta, who was trying to win the status of a paladin with her strength as a disadvantaged woman, really wanted to protect the first princess of the capital.
The Demon King Dandario, in a room in the royal city occupied by the Fengban army, contains the relics of ancient people collected by the royal family of the religious capital for generations.
There was nothing juxtaposed that he hadn't seen before, nothing new that was available.Not to mention that there are clues in it that can lift the curse placed on him.
──However, considering that curse, it is quite suspicious...
Abandoning the woman who begged him not to go so far away, he entered the island country at the southern tip of the mainland.Inside the ancient ruins of the Rope Circle.
Bewildered by the relics that looked different from the outside, but didn't notice the difference inside, the slight negligence made me fall into the trap at that time.
At that time, women who made a living from treasure hunting found many ancient ruins together.Abandoned the child who conceived him to become a burdensome partner
The result of going it alone - that's it.
And the son born of her daughter, the son of Dandario's grandson, was growing up to be her greatest enemy.
——This is a fork in life.
The parents of a child live a life like a human, continuing to take revenge on the world that took the life of the Dragon King?
Whether it was then or now, I couldn't forget Aurora's death.
She vanished without leaving behind, living clutching her memories.I keep thinking about it.No omissions, no faded memories.
"you--"
The Sorcerer King, who was immersed in memories, came back to his senses when he heard the voice of Rasegrave behind him.
"A place like this? The prince of Aisaka is looking for you. That guy has a bad heart. You better be careful. He seems to be very concerned that you didn't kill the prince's sons."
"Such a small person can be dealt with casually."
Looking at the man who rejected his advice as expected, the incarnation of the silver dragon raised questions.
"That's weird. You don't seem like someone who would start an argument over a child's life."
"But it's not like that prince who kills needlessly at will. After all, they are children with a strong blood of the Holy King.
The strength of mana is very valuable nowadays.Not only can he use the identity of the current pope's great-grandson to trade with the head of the mountain, if the priest disagrees, or let the magician's guild in Fengsaka cultivate it?Heck, both are my favourites. "
Satisfied with his own words, the Sorcerer King laughed.
"I'm not someone who would ask for trouble."
"You're so stubborn today! I'll get angry if you talk about it."
Being stared at by the dangerous green eyes was indeed frightening, but he also hated being threatened by others, Lars retorted.
"What's wrong with wanting to know about Master?"
"Hey, don't you understand, don't talk about cute things? Russ. Simply put, I really can't bear the ugliness of princes and citizens. Seeing the scene of killing women and young children, I am intoxicated by my own absolute power. The prince with ruthless power is ugly, and the bloody and excited citizens who look at the royal family with sympathy on the surface are also ugly. The king who was executed is similar to the crown prince, and they are both ugly people. ——The strong must be beautiful ? So emperors must be beautiful."
Life style also pursues aesthetics, it is indeed the logic of this man's masculinity, Bai Yinlong finally understands.
The Sorcerer King is beautiful and graceful even when he is too stupid and cruel to vent his anger on the semi-stupid ancient creatures.
And for this man, who is equal in value as the king of a local country and the king of a unified kingdom, he is born to be an emperor.What King Dongli Aurora wished for was the throne that she gave up without hesitation after her death. She only moved for one person, and his heart is still the king until now.
There is no need to be recognized by anyone, and there is no need to assert yourself.
This man loves the queen dragon so much──.
Thinking of this, Rasegrave's mood suddenly sank.
The king loves the queen dragon.So the king doesn't care about himself, it's unnecessary for him.No matter how much you look forward to, it will still be in vain.
At this time, there is a "qi" that he can't forget as a phantom beast.
"What's wrong?"
"Yin Qi... Ulan Pok is nearby...!"
"Oh. Did you watch the beheading scene? Can His Majesty the Phantom Beast King watch the entire execution? ─ Wait a minute! Go there!"
Sharply stopping it, the silver dragon turned around unexpectedly.
"Fight! I came here specially to be eaten, how can I let it go."
"No. It will be troublesome if you fight near this city. It's your business anyway. Don't let the streets be damaged. If you are obsessed, it will be troublesome. And my attack on Zongbenshan consumes a lot of mana. I don't have the confidence to be as usual. We should deal with such a situation in the same way. And it doesn’t matter if the Phantom Beast King is involved. Don’t go.”
Lars, who couldn't believe the order he heard, yelled angrily.
"Why did I come to the human world, to fight that little guy! Saying that is like running away!"
"It's not a dream. You don't want to be defeated and die here. If you fell into the crater of the volcano at that time, no matter how much the fire spirit protects you, you won't be able to save you. I swore an oath with me in the human world, and I summoned you here. Forgetting is to escape the death you face?"
"that time--"
"Shut up. You are a servant who is sworn to me. You will not be allowed to betray my will!"
The Sorcerer King coldly concluded from an absolute standpoint.
"Who wants to obey orders from humans...!"
The Dragon King of Baiyin said disdainfully that it was no longer a conversation but a quarrel.
If you don't chase after him quickly, the Huan Beast King who is walking in the streets of Jiaodu will be unable to catch up once he flies away.
"Wait a minute, come back, don't leave my feet, "Racegrave"!"
The voice of Dandario, who called out his real name, was subtly different from usual, with a strange sound.
At the same time, the whole body disregarded the will of Lars himself and turned right back to the master's cub.Even though he wanted to use his willpower to stop and ignore the order, his body didn't respond at all.
scared.If he knew that being called by his real name would exert such a binding force, he would never make a vow to give a human's real name.
Lie down on the ground, the dull white hair hanging on the ground, the cold and hard touch, the trembling Dragon King, if he wants to experience such humiliation, he might as well die.
The Sorcerer King didn't understand what the Dragon King was feeling at his feet.After forcing him to come back, a foot stepped on the back of his head.
"Have you understood your position? Lars. If you don't want to be done like this again, don't disobey my orders."
A gentle voice with cruelty implied.
The body couldn't move, and the one-eyed Dragon King let out a terrible moan.
The Sorcerer King smiled happily and moved his feet away, allowing him to stand up with his upper body.
"...such...the Dragon King...doing...this! I can't allow it..."
Rath wailed over the humiliation that was better than death, and trembling and cursing his master with a loathsome voice.
The Demon King with his arms folded, looked down at the tears that slid down his fair left cheek, and said softly.
"I didn't expect that. Your memory is not easy to forget. If you go crazy in the sun world, I must kill you at that time. You belong to the party that is usually killed, so I don't know. Killing the Dragon King is very..."
The hesitant Dandario's tone changed.
"...Very, very painful. Do I want to feel stronger than this level of humiliation again because of you?"
"What kind of pain...! You can do whatever you want. Don't you think I'm no match for that crow!"
Russ, who was still bound by his real name until now, could not wipe away his tears and moaned softly.
The magician who was sunk in worry showed a bright smile when he heard this.
"Oh my! It's completely awkward. You are cute like this, Lars. I don't understand my words at all. I am prepared to accept your real name with the mentality that my life is equal. You should think about it too!"
The avatar of the silver dragon who was being lectured was thinking, and there was always a tone of non-special words.
Dandario smiled wryly without reading the expression of the silent opponent.Reaching out to help him wipe away the tears that flowed out of anger.
"I like the Dragon King very much, but I also hate it from the bottom of my heart. For this reason. In the end, I must kill you who I want."
Half soliloquy.
Finally remembering about Prince Riccardo, the Sorcerer left the room.
As the door closed, Rasegrave regained his freedom, grabbed the relics of the ancients at hand, and threw them at the wall angrily.
The Phantom Beast King seems to have disappeared, unable to catch up with the distance, and now he can't do anything.
"That's why I can't replace...!"
The classification of heretical dragons, due to other meanings, can be regarded as a distorted existence in addition to Ulan Bok and Lars.
But the blood of the Flame King Sephad, who loved mankind and left many vows to his descendants, also flows under his silver armor.
At that time, in order to save life, there was no other choice.But how can you make a vow that drags you to your heart?
For the first time, Russegrave hated the body of the dragon king.
Three days after the sudden attack of the Fengsaka army and the fall of the capital, the execution of the king's family of the religious capital──.
The Pope of the Church Headquarters received a letter from King Mekiel sent by the Aisaka messenger.
After the envoy returned, he summoned the main figures in the church headquarters for the council based on the contents of the letter.Together with St. Yakengel and Ulan Boke, the king of monsters, the pope started the meeting as the host of the meeting.
"Such an absurd request can be rejected without negotiation! The headquarter of the sect was here before countries such as Koto and Aisaka came into being. Why do you have to pay the Nagoya because the capital has become the territory of Aisaka..."
Priest Shrei, whose face was flushed with anger, stood up and shouted.
Because everyone is in the same mood, but he showed it first.
"It should be announced that if you have to pay the surcharge, all priests in the Aisaka Territory, including the entire country, will not hold funerals from now on!"
This is the trump card of the sect, so King Mel must understand.
It is generally believed that if the person has a deep faith, he will not lose his way to the eternal kingdom even if he does not hold a funeral.But because it is a big deal not to listen to what is said in case of death.Not to mention the soldiers who couldn't go to battle with peace of mind, there were also nobles and royal families who condemned King Mezier for making greedy demands on the church.
There is no obstacle to pass that would shake the fundamental request, but also understand that the king is serious.So pre-declare that people are not allowed to pass through the teaching capital.
That is to block the way, the demonstration against the religious order.
Just like the great priest Monica who judged the ebb and flow of the tide, she caught Shrei's breath very well and moved the topic to another request.
"Shang Najin's question is answered as Priest Shri Yiduo said, the problem lies with Mrs. Isabella."
Ignoring Shreid who still wanted to say something, all eyes focused on the father of the first princess Isabella of the Cult King.
The Pope nodded with the face of an elderly father worried about his unfortunate daughter.
"If you are still alive, you want to bring it back. But since the Pope, who represents all the members of the Four Gods, makes a vassal gift to the king of a country, it is an unacceptable request."
"However, most people would think that Your Majesty would not save a helpless woman── a person who is related by blood? If Your Majesty is worried about getting sick, should I go to meet her instead...? If so, would I have to sacrifice my life to bring her back? Madame Isabella's mental preparation."
The great priest of Bellonarn made a proposal with a quiet determination hidden in his stability.
With the goal of becoming the next pope, the late High Priest Hahnti agreed with him, and he thought it was an excellent opportunity to understand this matter.In the name of the Pope, the work aimed at a big country like Fengsaka is tantamount to achieving the fait accompli of the next Pope.
However, Juliu, the head of the Holy Knights, objected to this suggestion.
"The three princesses were all beheaded? The intentions of the Aisaka Army leaving Mrs. Isabella alone are very obvious. Is it the danger of a bad precedent to fall into the despicable hands of the enemy?"
"Captain, do you mean that you don't want to save His Majesty's blood relatives?"
"In order not to set a wrong precedent, it must have an acceptable reputation."
"What's the reason..." Yake suggested.
"The royal family of the religious capital and the chief headquarters have been in a relationship of mutual protection for many years. There must be one of the king's concubines who is a woman with a deep relationship with the religious order. This is something everyone knows. From now on, within the religious order A person who prays to the four-faced god for the rest of the royal family of the religious capital every day. As the first princess of the deceased king, Mrs. Isabella, who has a deep connection with the religious group, should be very suitable."
"It is indeed a beautiful statement. This way, the nunnery can protect Isabella."
The chief of the largest nunnery on the mountain said with a smile.
Priest Monica also nodded with a smile of heartfelt approval.
"In this way, no one will be blamed except for the family of the other princesses who were executed. Anyone would think that the people who died gave their remaining lives to the gods, because they were from Somotoyama."
The word lifetime made the pope hesitate.
I am used to the luxurious life of being a princess, and I feel too miserable to stay in the nunnery for the rest of my life from now on.
He forgets what happened in the past and asks his granddaughter for help.
"Captain Felicia. Isabella is someone you miss, right? Do you imagine living the same life as Giri's mother and daughter?"
"Well, Your Majesty. To put it too exaggeratedly, not only the past, but also Mrs. Isabella's face can't be clearly remembered. For me, Mrs. Braley, whom I have been with for a long time, is more admirable like a mother. and……"
"And? You're welcome, just tell me."
"From the joy of meeting Mrs. Isabella again, thinking of Mrs. Braley's worry because of her return, it is a narrow-minded idea... As long as the palace has one mistress, there is no need for two. Your Majesty did not consider it. Will it become like that?"
Knowing that this occasion is not suitable to bring up matters related to past personal grievances, Felicia's speech has always been only in support of Mrs. Braley.
Being accused by her, the pope, who thought of his lover's position, quickly made a decision.
"Lord San Aconjell's plan should be better. Let's do it like this!"
"Then how to bring Mrs. Isabella back from the Aisaka army—"
Interrupting how suitable he is as the pope's deputy, the enthusiastic speaker of Bellonahn's words, the Eudemons King said briefly.
"I go."
Not interested in what people said before, the boy who had been looking around stared at the Pope and said.
"I fight one-on-one with the opposing dragon king. If I win, your daughter and the crown prince's children—your great-grandchildren—will be returned immediately. Note that if I lose, I will pay the surcharge , they will definitely accept it.”
The scene suddenly became commotion.
Priest Shreidor first sharply reprimanded the Phantom Beast King who had spoken disrespectfully to the Pope.
In addition to this, people who doubt this, people who blame the idea of adding bets to battles are not inferior, people who don't recognize the existence of phantom beasts.
The Pope asked the excited people to calm down and ask Ulan Pok.
"Do you have a chance of winning? Huan Beast King!"
"Different from the human world, the king of the dragon king must be the strongest among the dragons at that time. I am the king. If this is the case, what guarantee is there?"
The boy answered with a fearless smile.
"You and Lord Saint Arkanzel will protect Zonghonshan together. Then we will entrust our fate to you."
The pope made the biggest bet of his life.
When Prince Riccardo, who received the letter from his father, ordered Rasegrave to fight the Dragon King of the sect, the Sorcerer calmly advised not to make such a bet that might lose.
The prince sitting on the throne that was originally the king of the church was furious, and loudly scolded the magician who didn't know his identity and disobeyed the king's order.
"Stop joking! Win! If you don't win, your head will be cut off."
"Even if I cut off my head, if you can't win, you can't. It is the most profitable way to exchange the princess with an appropriate amount of money."
"Shang Najin, the head of the mountain, doesn't want to become that kind of change. This is my father's decision. I ordered our Dragon King to fight and win. I ordered it definitely, go down!"
With a slight salute with unpleasant grace, the Sorcerer King, who withdrew from the new ruler of the old religion, was greeted by an angry silver dragon.
"Why do you say I will lose! Don't you want Ulan Pok to fight me?"
"Use the wind spirit to eavesdrop? Even if I blame you, I can't make you reflect, but this kind of unruly behavior is really bad. It's okay to fight, but if the pet loses in front of everyone, I will also feel bad. "
"Why do you think I will lose! In a physical battle, my strength is stronger, and my magic power is close to equal. If I don't use possession magic, then the kid's elf magic is only intermediate, why would I lose to such an opponent!"
Dandario sat down on the chair and watched the dissatisfied expression of the noisy Lars.
"Idiot. Of course, if you rely on strength alone, you can be confident of winning, but if you don't use your brain, you will sometimes lose. You seem to want to cause a commotion and eat it. You don't understand the personality of that young dragon king. Shang Najin In other words, it was purely to get the insatiable King Machiel to bait him. As for definitely winning the sect and getting them to pay, I didn’t have such an idea at first. That boy is quite confident! The result can be predicted.”
"Is there any basis for self-confidence? How can you be sure?"
"You should like the idea. Save the effort of killing you, and be brought back to the underworld by the Dragon King."
Russ blushed at the coldly announced master's words.
"...Absolutely win. I won, I went crazy beside you, and killed you. If the essence changes abnormally, the restraint of the real name will also loosen. Enjoy that day from now on...!"
Clenching his trembling fists tightly, he said with a crooked smile.It is an extremely heroic expression that is mixed with love and hatred.
But the indifferent swearer responded to the trembling Dragon King's hatred with a bright smile.
"It's good to win the battle against the Phantasmal Beast King, but you have to eat it as soon as possible. If the corpse turns into air, the world's chi balance will collapse. Then the catastrophe will come at once. If this is the case, it will never be possible again. Normal operation is maintained.”
Russegrave was desperate when he remembered that he was summoned to destroy the balance of the world's ki in the first place.
"You use the Dragon King as a tool..."
"Yes, but it can also be said that it is not."
"Anyway, everything except King Uri is a tool. But, even so, the life of your King Uri is just a tool to maintain the balance of the world's ki──"
"Shut up, 'Racegrave'."
The Sorcerer King sealed the opponent's mouth with his real name.
In the room dominated by the cold air, the silver dragon who fell to the ground again showed a pale regretful smile, Dandario said.
"You don't need to put on a frightened face. It would be troublesome to punish you. I'm not ready to kill you. There's no sinful meaning in killing you of this value. It's really painful to be forced by a fool for the rest of your life. It's boring. I'm interested in the plan of the young Dragon King, and I'll be by my side during the battle. But I don't want to see your face right now. Go out and come back when I call you."
This is farewell.
Russ, who couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to apologize, changed direction against his will and left as ordered.
"Killing... the Dragon King is very painful! You want to make me feel that way again."
madness.I really didn't understand what he said at all.
Russegrave, who felt the same pain as when King Lili died, deliberately hurt his heart deeply, and trampled on it, sincerely regretting his willful stupidity.
Two days after the pope's letter of reply was taken away from Zongbenshan by the messenger, other messengers sent a letter in which the king agreed to the battle between the dragon kings of each other.
In the next few days, Fengsaka and Jiao were in close contact.
For the battle location decided by Aisaka, the religious group proposed again after adding some conditions, and finally made a decision.
The battle site designated by King Aisaka is a place equidistant from the main mountain, the capital city of Aisaka, and the capital of Aisaka.
It is the territory of Aisaka, but it is only a land for grazing for grazing.Because it can be viewed from a distance, you can check whether there are ambushes or traps.There is no need to worry about the damage caused by the battle of the Dragon King except for the cow.
Paying attention to the territories belonging to the country, King Mezier must be considered a good king for the people.
Before the meeting started, Arkenjell, who was talking with his companions, became a little uneasy because he thought too much about the situation.
"I want to say that even if the Sorcerer Lord stops, it's impossible for anyone other than Aisaka to forcibly interrupt. I'm sorry that I don't want to answer right away. On the back, I don't think it's easy to say that."
"In the end, it's the character of King Osaka. He doesn't listen to the opinions of his cronies, and he likes to take dangerous roads to expand his territory. This time, he used this character behind his back. By the way, is it okay to be a tricky brat? I heard that the enemy is with him. If the rivals competing for the throne impose a condition that prohibits the use of possession magic, the battle will become more difficult, right?"
Felicia, who was sitting on a horse, asked her friend who was also sitting next door.
They were dispatched together with a dozen or so elite cavalry selected from the Paladins, commanded by Commander Julius, and then protecting the first princess Isabella of the original church and the king. The carriage in which the female priests who took care of the prince's children took care of him.
"Ur won't say what can't be done. Is the problem of elf magic that has been worrying you solved?"
"Yeah. I have enough magic power, but I'm only at the intermediate level because I've received all the oaths of spirit magic. And the daughters of the Miyagi royal family are all beginners for the same reason. Use it, and tell Yaconjell when you get back."
On the night of the Rasegoff attack, the troubled boy who lost his confidence halfway looked back at the pledger with eyes that were not confused.
Yake smiled.
I also like Ulan Boke, who is as innocent as a boy, but he is still the most attractive because he looks arrogant and full of invincible self-confidence, and he wants to say it.
"Very reliable! You are the best like this."
The female knight, who was unfortunately overheard next door, almost fell off her horse.
Commander Juliu at the front raised his hand as a signal to all members.
"Stop! The destination is here. Dismount all."
"Look ahead, Yake. The tents for viewing have been set up over there, are you coming? That banner is King Aisaka,
Did the king himself come to see it? "
In the direction Feliette pointed, there were indeed several flags with the emblem of King Aisaka on them.
Now is the time of day when the sun is at its strongest.It is normal for nobles to hide in tents.
With the forest as the background, a considerable number of people have gathered, and there are many people who reflect the sunlight when they move.Most of them are soldiers in armor.
"I don't know if I have to carry a tent with me at this level of travel distance, and have that many soldiers guarding me.
Among the eight gates on the solid street wall surrounding the city, in front of the gate called the main gate, ox carts and people from suburban farmhouses began to gather in order to participate in the day market in the square in front of the city hall.
Because of the high toll and income taxes paid, carts drawn by horses and oxen were loaded with crops, but the passage of horses and oxen, which would shit and dirty the roads, was strictly restricted.
The capital where the king lives.The religious capital is the place given up by the headquarter of the ancient Four-Phase God Religion. The beautiful streets side by side can be said to be the first in the mainland. Of course, the taxes levied here are also the highest in the mainland.
From the main entrance, you can see the front of the royal city. Several guards guarding the gate came out from the hut where the night ball was played.
The soldiers who opened the door to start collecting tolls froze with terror when they saw the white figure walking towards the street.
──That is, undead...?
Soldiers are not without reason.
The silver and gray armor, the white-haired knight in a white silk cloak, still has a bit of night mist, making his outline a bit blurred, and the color of the whole body feels strangely white floating on it.But the metallic sound of armor could still be heard.
Was this man a knight who had closed the city gate when he arrived the day before and had to stay overnight in an inn outside the street wall, and entered the street while opening the door, looking for someone he knew?
Maybe only the servants are awake, but the noble master who lives in this city will definitely not be happy to greet the morning visitors who don't know how to be polite.
Every night, the royal palace and the powerful aristocrats’ homes must have a dinner party. The game didn’t end until late at night, and the elegant and gorgeous day of those people probably didn’t start until noon during the day.
Even if the other party is the royal family of the country, they will still be rejected, let alone a countryman who doesn't know the situation in the capital, come again!
But this strange man in armor doesn't seem like an ordinary existence like a country knight.
The left eye is wearing a blindfold, and the right eye does not know where to look, with an empty gaze.Only one eye opened, with an ominous crimson color, which the soldier couldn't stand.
I plan to report the presence of suspicious persons to the companion in charge of opening the door.
The knight in undead armor had a ruthless smile on his slightly upturned thin lips.
Slowly raised his hand and turned to the street wall, with a hoarse voice──.
""Burst Fire Bomb""
The dazzling light cluster emitted from that hand flew straight towards the double stone wall, and a violent collision occurred.
A flash of light from a point of violent conflict envelops soldiers and peasants near the street walls.The body of the person engulfed by the high-heat light burst into flames shortly after the wailing sound, and all the bones were burned up.
Slower than light, the loud noise of the collapsing street walls in a wide area broke the sleep of the streets of the religious capital.
That was the voice that pronounced the merciless fate of the royal family of the religious capital whose ancestor was the great-grandson of the Holy King Nadia.
The Aiban army led by Prince Riccardo, who was marching in the evening, invaded from the street wall destroyed by Lasegoff, and attacked the front of the royal city without any resistance.
After destroying the front of the street wall, Lars returned to the original appearance of the silver dragon, using the dragon's breath of flame to burn the vast buildings outside the street wall.
Seeing the burning of poor people who were not allowed to live inside the street walls, and the killing of those who resisted, the private soldiers hired to protect the streets fell silent.
The river in front of the king's city was facing the street, and the retainers of the king of the capital cut off the bridge connecting the two banks, cutting off the approach, but the magician Aisaka who accompanied the army summoned the stone bridge, and passed easily.
Knowing about the battle, the vassals of the king of the religious capital fought desperately to protect the lord, and fought with the elite soldiers assembled by Aisaka who had experienced many wars.
After Lagerseff and Prince Riccardo, who had become human again, met, the magician and retainers of the king of the capital were cut in half by the crimson dragon heart sword, and they entered after destroying obstacles with magic.
It was too late to use the escape tunnel under the royal city, and when the captured king's family was brought to Prince Riccardo, the sun had just risen.
According to the records left in the official history, the holy queen Nadia was able to unify the continent in a short period of time because of the help of the monster king Saifad and several dragon kings.
Except for Nadia, who is a human with powerful magic power, only the Dragon King can fight the Dragon King.The strongest dragon king, Yan Lie Wang Saifad, made an oath with her at that time, and the whole land of the mainland was destined to belong to her.
Inherited from the ancient bloodline of the holy queen's direct great-grandson, the capital dominated by the royal family known as the most famous family fell within half a day after the invaders started their attack.
After realizing that the military regulations of the Fengban Army seem to be quite strict and they hardly engage in looting, a sense of reassurance floated among the citizens for a while.
It would be fine if only the king's account was taken and our own lives were not ruined──In such an era, the common people of any country felt the same way.
But the great nobles who have the blood relationship of the royal family and are proud of this glory are now trembling.They knew that ordinary soldiers hadn't plundered yet because the plunder order from King Aizaka hadn't arrived, and once it started, the greedy hand would never miss them.
A collection of expensive and easy-to-handle items like jewels, pre-hidden in place.Planning to seize the opportunity, he disguised himself as a civilian and fled the streets among the peasants leaving the market.
And the nobles who married the daughters of King Aisaka were worried about how to ask their wives to speak well in front of King Aisaka of their own family.
The soldiers with the order of Prince Riccardo went to the homes of nobles and powerful people one by one, and gathered them in the square in front of the city hall.
The square in front of the town hall is where public executions of criminals are held.
In other countries, the execution of sinners is carried out in the square in front of the great temple, but in the religious capital where the great temple is located in the main mountain, it is carried out in the square in front of the city hall, which is larger than the square in front of the temple.
The nobles who came here trembled with terror, and when they saw the ordinary citizens who came here to visit, they thought of a possibility.
The execution of the king's family——.
The weak people immediately fainted due to shock, and the retainers who followed were panicked.
But Prince Riccardo didn't let them go, and was called again.
The many pale-faced nobles and the crowd that could almost flood the square were watching the execution platform guarded by the soldiers of the Aisaka Army.
From the windows of the houses facing the square and the city hall, many people peeked out at the square from behind.
The king and queen with their hands tied behind them, and several princes headed by the crown prince were brought in line up.The crowd in the square groaned in unison.
"Even the queen was brought to be beheaded..."
"Young children, including the crown prince?"
Whispers of conversation everywhere contain concerns.That's because of the inner fear that if you criticize the conqueror loudly, you may be informed.
There are also people who ruthlessly describe their feelings for the old rulers.
"There's no other way. The royal family, who enjoy privileges, must also be prepared to be killed now."
"Shhh. It's too loud, Fern," scolded Yakenjal, who was beside him.
Ulan Boke helped the two find ordinary clothes to change into, and even put a cloak on them before they came to the square.
They just came here from Zongben Mountain, just following the movement of the citizens who came to the square.
"If I were a man, I'd be there with my wife."
"It's ironic, isn't it?...It's calm now, do you want to help now?"
The young man whispered in the ear of the daughter of the king of the teaching capital, and the female knight replied in the same way.
Her tone of voice remained unchanged from usual.
"Put our lives in danger? Is the royal family worth losing their country? ... Oh, not worth it at all."
The order in which the royal family was executed was arranged.First the Crown Princess, then the King's three concubines, then in order from the youngest prince to the Crown Prince, and finally the King.
The heavy axes continued to hit, and the heads of the people bent over on the beheading platform were chopped off.
After each terrible blood spatter, the crowd in the square wailed.
"Is it louder than the wailing that time?" Ulan Pok said with simple thoughts.
The current Holy United Army is winning consecutive battles. However, if they are caught when they lose, they must be mentally prepared for such an end. Yake didn't speak, and looked at it with an unchanged expression.
At the end of the king, even the people watching from a distance were shaken all over.Unable to walk to the execution platform by himself, he was dragged by the executioner and the soldiers who served as assistants.
Then there is the preparation before the beheading, but it has not been cut off for a long time.
The king's screams were completely eliminated by the noisy voices and did not reach the edge of the square, but it was generally detectable from the violent body movements of the people.
"That's enough. Let's get out now while we're among the citizens who are going back at the end!"
Without waiting for a reply from her friends, Felicia turned around and left.
Yake and Ur left there following her who didn't speak.
Different from the orderly and well-developed small streets and streets in Zongbenshan, even the inner streets of Jiaodu are full of refined and elegant atmosphere.
However, regardless of the house, the curtains and shutters are closed, conveying the tension of people who have to live with the aggressors starting today.
The female knight who walked silently until she couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the square finally spoke.
"It's my heart that's wrong. Seeing the scene where my father and half-brother were killed, I didn't feel any emotion at all. Last time, when I broke my beloved vase, I was quite surprised and sad. This kind of me I really don't understand!"
The weak voice didn't seem like what she said.
Yakenjel responded directly.
"Recently, I've been thinking that I can only sympathize with my mother for her pain and sorrow. It is impossible to live without pain. But if I want to forgive her for what she has done, I don't care whether I accept it or not, mother. His behavior is already a doomed fact. Is Fern blaming myself for our weakness of being clinging to the past until now? This is different. It is a crime that has carved a scar on the heart of a child that cannot be erased in a lifetime. sinners are our parents."
Fen showed a surprised expression, and Ulan Pok also interjected.
"When you are in a bad mood, you will feel that such a death is retribution. When you are in a good mood, you will think that there is no need to be sad. If you are still a child, for the parents who planned to kill them according to their own likes and dislikes, this time they will be killed. no more. Dead parents do not add to the painful memory.──My mother is alive.”
Yake and Fern stopped and looked back at the boy at the end at the same time.
Ulan Pok, who was talking lightly, was full of unpleasantness in the last part.
Asked the swearer who knew about the feud between the Dragon King's mother and son.
"Have you been told anything after using the possession magic?"
"The same mouth that said she wanted to kill me, who was useless, that I was her pride. It was a hundred times more angry than when she heard that she was going to kill me."
"It's really the complete opposite." After understanding the detailed situation, the female knight said in surprise.
"Although I disdain her, it is the parents of the child who give birth to the child anyway. The child cannot choose the parents. The natural misfortune can only be made up for by obtaining happiness with one's own strength. I got it when I met Alzel, so I endured it Mother."
"...Still boasting in the end, tricky brat? The father of the capital king was executed. Should I use your words to restore my mood?"
"I'm sorry, Felicia. Ur meant no harm. I'm really sorry, I made a mistake too."
The flushed Yake desperately apologized.
But the king of the ignorant Dragon King replied.
"If you're envious, Nian—older and beautiful sister. You also try to find a lifelong vower."
"Don't say it, did it on purpose? If you don't want me to snatch away the one and only candidate for the vower. And this is a line that can only be said by people who want a partner of the opposite sex. Do you understand? The virgin king of the HOMO dragon."
The resurrected female knight made two combos, and Ur was completely defeated.
Jacques, who tried his best to hold back his laughter, walked holding the hand of the stunned boy.
The surroundings were unknowingly dyed with the color of the setting sun.
"Go back and report to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
"Well, only my aunt was not executed, and she was planning to use it as a deal with the religious order! If it was ten years ago, it can be said that this unusable tool would be abandoned, but I don't understand that old guy now how to think."
Arkanzel wondered whether Feliatta, who was trying to win the status of a paladin with her strength as a disadvantaged woman, really wanted to protect the first princess of the capital.
The Demon King Dandario, in a room in the royal city occupied by the Fengban army, contains the relics of ancient people collected by the royal family of the religious capital for generations.
There was nothing juxtaposed that he hadn't seen before, nothing new that was available.Not to mention that there are clues in it that can lift the curse placed on him.
──However, considering that curse, it is quite suspicious...
Abandoning the woman who begged him not to go so far away, he entered the island country at the southern tip of the mainland.Inside the ancient ruins of the Rope Circle.
Bewildered by the relics that looked different from the outside, but didn't notice the difference inside, the slight negligence made me fall into the trap at that time.
At that time, women who made a living from treasure hunting found many ancient ruins together.Abandoned the child who conceived him to become a burdensome partner
The result of going it alone - that's it.
And the son born of her daughter, the son of Dandario's grandson, was growing up to be her greatest enemy.
——This is a fork in life.
The parents of a child live a life like a human, continuing to take revenge on the world that took the life of the Dragon King?
Whether it was then or now, I couldn't forget Aurora's death.
She vanished without leaving behind, living clutching her memories.I keep thinking about it.No omissions, no faded memories.
"you--"
The Sorcerer King, who was immersed in memories, came back to his senses when he heard the voice of Rasegrave behind him.
"A place like this? The prince of Aisaka is looking for you. That guy has a bad heart. You better be careful. He seems to be very concerned that you didn't kill the prince's sons."
"Such a small person can be dealt with casually."
Looking at the man who rejected his advice as expected, the incarnation of the silver dragon raised questions.
"That's weird. You don't seem like someone who would start an argument over a child's life."
"But it's not like that prince who kills needlessly at will. After all, they are children with a strong blood of the Holy King.
The strength of mana is very valuable nowadays.Not only can he use the identity of the current pope's great-grandson to trade with the head of the mountain, if the priest disagrees, or let the magician's guild in Fengsaka cultivate it?Heck, both are my favourites. "
Satisfied with his own words, the Sorcerer King laughed.
"I'm not someone who would ask for trouble."
"You're so stubborn today! I'll get angry if you talk about it."
Being stared at by the dangerous green eyes was indeed frightening, but he also hated being threatened by others, Lars retorted.
"What's wrong with wanting to know about Master?"
"Hey, don't you understand, don't talk about cute things? Russ. Simply put, I really can't bear the ugliness of princes and citizens. Seeing the scene of killing women and young children, I am intoxicated by my own absolute power. The prince with ruthless power is ugly, and the bloody and excited citizens who look at the royal family with sympathy on the surface are also ugly. The king who was executed is similar to the crown prince, and they are both ugly people. ——The strong must be beautiful ? So emperors must be beautiful."
Life style also pursues aesthetics, it is indeed the logic of this man's masculinity, Bai Yinlong finally understands.
The Sorcerer King is beautiful and graceful even when he is too stupid and cruel to vent his anger on the semi-stupid ancient creatures.
And for this man, who is equal in value as the king of a local country and the king of a unified kingdom, he is born to be an emperor.What King Dongli Aurora wished for was the throne that she gave up without hesitation after her death. She only moved for one person, and his heart is still the king until now.
There is no need to be recognized by anyone, and there is no need to assert yourself.
This man loves the queen dragon so much──.
Thinking of this, Rasegrave's mood suddenly sank.
The king loves the queen dragon.So the king doesn't care about himself, it's unnecessary for him.No matter how much you look forward to, it will still be in vain.
At this time, there is a "qi" that he can't forget as a phantom beast.
"What's wrong?"
"Yin Qi... Ulan Pok is nearby...!"
"Oh. Did you watch the beheading scene? Can His Majesty the Phantom Beast King watch the entire execution? ─ Wait a minute! Go there!"
Sharply stopping it, the silver dragon turned around unexpectedly.
"Fight! I came here specially to be eaten, how can I let it go."
"No. It will be troublesome if you fight near this city. It's your business anyway. Don't let the streets be damaged. If you are obsessed, it will be troublesome. And my attack on Zongbenshan consumes a lot of mana. I don't have the confidence to be as usual. We should deal with such a situation in the same way. And it doesn’t matter if the Phantom Beast King is involved. Don’t go.”
Lars, who couldn't believe the order he heard, yelled angrily.
"Why did I come to the human world, to fight that little guy! Saying that is like running away!"
"It's not a dream. You don't want to be defeated and die here. If you fell into the crater of the volcano at that time, no matter how much the fire spirit protects you, you won't be able to save you. I swore an oath with me in the human world, and I summoned you here. Forgetting is to escape the death you face?"
"that time--"
"Shut up. You are a servant who is sworn to me. You will not be allowed to betray my will!"
The Sorcerer King coldly concluded from an absolute standpoint.
"Who wants to obey orders from humans...!"
The Dragon King of Baiyin said disdainfully that it was no longer a conversation but a quarrel.
If you don't chase after him quickly, the Huan Beast King who is walking in the streets of Jiaodu will be unable to catch up once he flies away.
"Wait a minute, come back, don't leave my feet, "Racegrave"!"
The voice of Dandario, who called out his real name, was subtly different from usual, with a strange sound.
At the same time, the whole body disregarded the will of Lars himself and turned right back to the master's cub.Even though he wanted to use his willpower to stop and ignore the order, his body didn't respond at all.
scared.If he knew that being called by his real name would exert such a binding force, he would never make a vow to give a human's real name.
Lie down on the ground, the dull white hair hanging on the ground, the cold and hard touch, the trembling Dragon King, if he wants to experience such humiliation, he might as well die.
The Sorcerer King didn't understand what the Dragon King was feeling at his feet.After forcing him to come back, a foot stepped on the back of his head.
"Have you understood your position? Lars. If you don't want to be done like this again, don't disobey my orders."
A gentle voice with cruelty implied.
The body couldn't move, and the one-eyed Dragon King let out a terrible moan.
The Sorcerer King smiled happily and moved his feet away, allowing him to stand up with his upper body.
"...such...the Dragon King...doing...this! I can't allow it..."
Rath wailed over the humiliation that was better than death, and trembling and cursing his master with a loathsome voice.
The Demon King with his arms folded, looked down at the tears that slid down his fair left cheek, and said softly.
"I didn't expect that. Your memory is not easy to forget. If you go crazy in the sun world, I must kill you at that time. You belong to the party that is usually killed, so I don't know. Killing the Dragon King is very..."
The hesitant Dandario's tone changed.
"...Very, very painful. Do I want to feel stronger than this level of humiliation again because of you?"
"What kind of pain...! You can do whatever you want. Don't you think I'm no match for that crow!"
Russ, who was still bound by his real name until now, could not wipe away his tears and moaned softly.
The magician who was sunk in worry showed a bright smile when he heard this.
"Oh my! It's completely awkward. You are cute like this, Lars. I don't understand my words at all. I am prepared to accept your real name with the mentality that my life is equal. You should think about it too!"
The avatar of the silver dragon who was being lectured was thinking, and there was always a tone of non-special words.
Dandario smiled wryly without reading the expression of the silent opponent.Reaching out to help him wipe away the tears that flowed out of anger.
"I like the Dragon King very much, but I also hate it from the bottom of my heart. For this reason. In the end, I must kill you who I want."
Half soliloquy.
Finally remembering about Prince Riccardo, the Sorcerer left the room.
As the door closed, Rasegrave regained his freedom, grabbed the relics of the ancients at hand, and threw them at the wall angrily.
The Phantom Beast King seems to have disappeared, unable to catch up with the distance, and now he can't do anything.
"That's why I can't replace...!"
The classification of heretical dragons, due to other meanings, can be regarded as a distorted existence in addition to Ulan Bok and Lars.
But the blood of the Flame King Sephad, who loved mankind and left many vows to his descendants, also flows under his silver armor.
At that time, in order to save life, there was no other choice.But how can you make a vow that drags you to your heart?
For the first time, Russegrave hated the body of the dragon king.
Three days after the sudden attack of the Fengsaka army and the fall of the capital, the execution of the king's family of the religious capital──.
The Pope of the Church Headquarters received a letter from King Mekiel sent by the Aisaka messenger.
After the envoy returned, he summoned the main figures in the church headquarters for the council based on the contents of the letter.Together with St. Yakengel and Ulan Boke, the king of monsters, the pope started the meeting as the host of the meeting.
"Such an absurd request can be rejected without negotiation! The headquarter of the sect was here before countries such as Koto and Aisaka came into being. Why do you have to pay the Nagoya because the capital has become the territory of Aisaka..."
Priest Shrei, whose face was flushed with anger, stood up and shouted.
Because everyone is in the same mood, but he showed it first.
"It should be announced that if you have to pay the surcharge, all priests in the Aisaka Territory, including the entire country, will not hold funerals from now on!"
This is the trump card of the sect, so King Mel must understand.
It is generally believed that if the person has a deep faith, he will not lose his way to the eternal kingdom even if he does not hold a funeral.But because it is a big deal not to listen to what is said in case of death.Not to mention the soldiers who couldn't go to battle with peace of mind, there were also nobles and royal families who condemned King Mezier for making greedy demands on the church.
There is no obstacle to pass that would shake the fundamental request, but also understand that the king is serious.So pre-declare that people are not allowed to pass through the teaching capital.
That is to block the way, the demonstration against the religious order.
Just like the great priest Monica who judged the ebb and flow of the tide, she caught Shrei's breath very well and moved the topic to another request.
"Shang Najin's question is answered as Priest Shri Yiduo said, the problem lies with Mrs. Isabella."
Ignoring Shreid who still wanted to say something, all eyes focused on the father of the first princess Isabella of the Cult King.
The Pope nodded with the face of an elderly father worried about his unfortunate daughter.
"If you are still alive, you want to bring it back. But since the Pope, who represents all the members of the Four Gods, makes a vassal gift to the king of a country, it is an unacceptable request."
"However, most people would think that Your Majesty would not save a helpless woman── a person who is related by blood? If Your Majesty is worried about getting sick, should I go to meet her instead...? If so, would I have to sacrifice my life to bring her back? Madame Isabella's mental preparation."
The great priest of Bellonarn made a proposal with a quiet determination hidden in his stability.
With the goal of becoming the next pope, the late High Priest Hahnti agreed with him, and he thought it was an excellent opportunity to understand this matter.In the name of the Pope, the work aimed at a big country like Fengsaka is tantamount to achieving the fait accompli of the next Pope.
However, Juliu, the head of the Holy Knights, objected to this suggestion.
"The three princesses were all beheaded? The intentions of the Aisaka Army leaving Mrs. Isabella alone are very obvious. Is it the danger of a bad precedent to fall into the despicable hands of the enemy?"
"Captain, do you mean that you don't want to save His Majesty's blood relatives?"
"In order not to set a wrong precedent, it must have an acceptable reputation."
"What's the reason..." Yake suggested.
"The royal family of the religious capital and the chief headquarters have been in a relationship of mutual protection for many years. There must be one of the king's concubines who is a woman with a deep relationship with the religious order. This is something everyone knows. From now on, within the religious order A person who prays to the four-faced god for the rest of the royal family of the religious capital every day. As the first princess of the deceased king, Mrs. Isabella, who has a deep connection with the religious group, should be very suitable."
"It is indeed a beautiful statement. This way, the nunnery can protect Isabella."
The chief of the largest nunnery on the mountain said with a smile.
Priest Monica also nodded with a smile of heartfelt approval.
"In this way, no one will be blamed except for the family of the other princesses who were executed. Anyone would think that the people who died gave their remaining lives to the gods, because they were from Somotoyama."
The word lifetime made the pope hesitate.
I am used to the luxurious life of being a princess, and I feel too miserable to stay in the nunnery for the rest of my life from now on.
He forgets what happened in the past and asks his granddaughter for help.
"Captain Felicia. Isabella is someone you miss, right? Do you imagine living the same life as Giri's mother and daughter?"
"Well, Your Majesty. To put it too exaggeratedly, not only the past, but also Mrs. Isabella's face can't be clearly remembered. For me, Mrs. Braley, whom I have been with for a long time, is more admirable like a mother. and……"
"And? You're welcome, just tell me."
"From the joy of meeting Mrs. Isabella again, thinking of Mrs. Braley's worry because of her return, it is a narrow-minded idea... As long as the palace has one mistress, there is no need for two. Your Majesty did not consider it. Will it become like that?"
Knowing that this occasion is not suitable to bring up matters related to past personal grievances, Felicia's speech has always been only in support of Mrs. Braley.
Being accused by her, the pope, who thought of his lover's position, quickly made a decision.
"Lord San Aconjell's plan should be better. Let's do it like this!"
"Then how to bring Mrs. Isabella back from the Aisaka army—"
Interrupting how suitable he is as the pope's deputy, the enthusiastic speaker of Bellonahn's words, the Eudemons King said briefly.
"I go."
Not interested in what people said before, the boy who had been looking around stared at the Pope and said.
"I fight one-on-one with the opposing dragon king. If I win, your daughter and the crown prince's children—your great-grandchildren—will be returned immediately. Note that if I lose, I will pay the surcharge , they will definitely accept it.”
The scene suddenly became commotion.
Priest Shreidor first sharply reprimanded the Phantom Beast King who had spoken disrespectfully to the Pope.
In addition to this, people who doubt this, people who blame the idea of adding bets to battles are not inferior, people who don't recognize the existence of phantom beasts.
The Pope asked the excited people to calm down and ask Ulan Pok.
"Do you have a chance of winning? Huan Beast King!"
"Different from the human world, the king of the dragon king must be the strongest among the dragons at that time. I am the king. If this is the case, what guarantee is there?"
The boy answered with a fearless smile.
"You and Lord Saint Arkanzel will protect Zonghonshan together. Then we will entrust our fate to you."
The pope made the biggest bet of his life.
When Prince Riccardo, who received the letter from his father, ordered Rasegrave to fight the Dragon King of the sect, the Sorcerer calmly advised not to make such a bet that might lose.
The prince sitting on the throne that was originally the king of the church was furious, and loudly scolded the magician who didn't know his identity and disobeyed the king's order.
"Stop joking! Win! If you don't win, your head will be cut off."
"Even if I cut off my head, if you can't win, you can't. It is the most profitable way to exchange the princess with an appropriate amount of money."
"Shang Najin, the head of the mountain, doesn't want to become that kind of change. This is my father's decision. I ordered our Dragon King to fight and win. I ordered it definitely, go down!"
With a slight salute with unpleasant grace, the Sorcerer King, who withdrew from the new ruler of the old religion, was greeted by an angry silver dragon.
"Why do you say I will lose! Don't you want Ulan Pok to fight me?"
"Use the wind spirit to eavesdrop? Even if I blame you, I can't make you reflect, but this kind of unruly behavior is really bad. It's okay to fight, but if the pet loses in front of everyone, I will also feel bad. "
"Why do you think I will lose! In a physical battle, my strength is stronger, and my magic power is close to equal. If I don't use possession magic, then the kid's elf magic is only intermediate, why would I lose to such an opponent!"
Dandario sat down on the chair and watched the dissatisfied expression of the noisy Lars.
"Idiot. Of course, if you rely on strength alone, you can be confident of winning, but if you don't use your brain, you will sometimes lose. You seem to want to cause a commotion and eat it. You don't understand the personality of that young dragon king. Shang Najin In other words, it was purely to get the insatiable King Machiel to bait him. As for definitely winning the sect and getting them to pay, I didn’t have such an idea at first. That boy is quite confident! The result can be predicted.”
"Is there any basis for self-confidence? How can you be sure?"
"You should like the idea. Save the effort of killing you, and be brought back to the underworld by the Dragon King."
Russ blushed at the coldly announced master's words.
"...Absolutely win. I won, I went crazy beside you, and killed you. If the essence changes abnormally, the restraint of the real name will also loosen. Enjoy that day from now on...!"
Clenching his trembling fists tightly, he said with a crooked smile.It is an extremely heroic expression that is mixed with love and hatred.
But the indifferent swearer responded to the trembling Dragon King's hatred with a bright smile.
"It's good to win the battle against the Phantasmal Beast King, but you have to eat it as soon as possible. If the corpse turns into air, the world's chi balance will collapse. Then the catastrophe will come at once. If this is the case, it will never be possible again. Normal operation is maintained.”
Russegrave was desperate when he remembered that he was summoned to destroy the balance of the world's ki in the first place.
"You use the Dragon King as a tool..."
"Yes, but it can also be said that it is not."
"Anyway, everything except King Uri is a tool. But, even so, the life of your King Uri is just a tool to maintain the balance of the world's ki──"
"Shut up, 'Racegrave'."
The Sorcerer King sealed the opponent's mouth with his real name.
In the room dominated by the cold air, the silver dragon who fell to the ground again showed a pale regretful smile, Dandario said.
"You don't need to put on a frightened face. It would be troublesome to punish you. I'm not ready to kill you. There's no sinful meaning in killing you of this value. It's really painful to be forced by a fool for the rest of your life. It's boring. I'm interested in the plan of the young Dragon King, and I'll be by my side during the battle. But I don't want to see your face right now. Go out and come back when I call you."
This is farewell.
Russ, who couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to apologize, changed direction against his will and left as ordered.
"Killing... the Dragon King is very painful! You want to make me feel that way again."
madness.I really didn't understand what he said at all.
Russegrave, who felt the same pain as when King Lili died, deliberately hurt his heart deeply, and trampled on it, sincerely regretting his willful stupidity.
Two days after the pope's letter of reply was taken away from Zongbenshan by the messenger, other messengers sent a letter in which the king agreed to the battle between the dragon kings of each other.
In the next few days, Fengsaka and Jiao were in close contact.
For the battle location decided by Aisaka, the religious group proposed again after adding some conditions, and finally made a decision.
The battle site designated by King Aisaka is a place equidistant from the main mountain, the capital city of Aisaka, and the capital of Aisaka.
It is the territory of Aisaka, but it is only a land for grazing for grazing.Because it can be viewed from a distance, you can check whether there are ambushes or traps.There is no need to worry about the damage caused by the battle of the Dragon King except for the cow.
Paying attention to the territories belonging to the country, King Mezier must be considered a good king for the people.
Before the meeting started, Arkenjell, who was talking with his companions, became a little uneasy because he thought too much about the situation.
"I want to say that even if the Sorcerer Lord stops, it's impossible for anyone other than Aisaka to forcibly interrupt. I'm sorry that I don't want to answer right away. On the back, I don't think it's easy to say that."
"In the end, it's the character of King Osaka. He doesn't listen to the opinions of his cronies, and he likes to take dangerous roads to expand his territory. This time, he used this character behind his back. By the way, is it okay to be a tricky brat? I heard that the enemy is with him. If the rivals competing for the throne impose a condition that prohibits the use of possession magic, the battle will become more difficult, right?"
Felicia, who was sitting on a horse, asked her friend who was also sitting next door.
They were dispatched together with a dozen or so elite cavalry selected from the Paladins, commanded by Commander Julius, and then protecting the first princess Isabella of the original church and the king. The carriage in which the female priests who took care of the prince's children took care of him.
"Ur won't say what can't be done. Is the problem of elf magic that has been worrying you solved?"
"Yeah. I have enough magic power, but I'm only at the intermediate level because I've received all the oaths of spirit magic. And the daughters of the Miyagi royal family are all beginners for the same reason. Use it, and tell Yaconjell when you get back."
On the night of the Rasegoff attack, the troubled boy who lost his confidence halfway looked back at the pledger with eyes that were not confused.
Yake smiled.
I also like Ulan Boke, who is as innocent as a boy, but he is still the most attractive because he looks arrogant and full of invincible self-confidence, and he wants to say it.
"Very reliable! You are the best like this."
The female knight, who was unfortunately overheard next door, almost fell off her horse.
Commander Juliu at the front raised his hand as a signal to all members.
"Stop! The destination is here. Dismount all."
"Look ahead, Yake. The tents for viewing have been set up over there, are you coming? That banner is King Aisaka,
Did the king himself come to see it? "
In the direction Feliette pointed, there were indeed several flags with the emblem of King Aisaka on them.
Now is the time of day when the sun is at its strongest.It is normal for nobles to hide in tents.
With the forest as the background, a considerable number of people have gathered, and there are many people who reflect the sunlight when they move.Most of them are soldiers in armor.
"I don't know if I have to carry a tent with me at this level of travel distance, and have that many soldiers guarding me.
