316-310 Everything started with that man

I didn't expect to see the humanized dragons at the end of the giant gate, but they seem to be able to talk normally, not telepathically.

The masters look somewhat out of sync, but the battle has been going on for too long, so I'm grateful for that for us.

The middle-aged man sitting alone on the throne is the Dragon Goddess, and the beautiful man and woman split to the left and right across the throne is probably the attribute dragon.

When I was about to speak after a brief consideration, an unseen woman in a black and white dress spoke up from behind.

''How bad tasteful of you to go out of your way to humanize them?　Hey, Ryujin?

'Not at all. It's worthy of all death to create your sister's image by deception.

Hearing those words, I realized that these two were Forenoir and the Spirit of Darkness.

Estia also has a very surprised expression on her face, perhaps seeing the dark spirit from herself for the first time.

''Kukkukku, the human form also looks surprisingly good on you?　O Spirit of Light and Spirit of Darkness. Naw, wise man.

After all, the one sitting on this throne and grinning at us is probably the Dragon Goddess.

And that this space is a pseudo-space.......

Oh. You're a lot more clever than I thought. So, what are your requirements this time?

Since we know everything and this is the response, we'll deal with it in the same way.

''With all the matters I'm involved in, right? The matter of the release of the reincarnated dragon that started when I released the holy dragon over there, the matter of the light dragon that seems to have been summoned to the Principality of Brange, and the matter of the evil god.

'I don't like your tone, wise man. If you're a wise man whose goal is to live a peaceful life and grow old, treat it more casually.

Well, if you're willing to answer our questions, I'll just do it.

I smiled and decided to respond, smiling.

''You're ... an inedible man,''

I know he meant to tease me, but I knew what he was going to say about it, so I was able to keep my cool about it.

Ryujin-sama doesn't seem too amused by that, but that's fine for now.

I guess the reason I can stay in this kind of attitude is because I feel close to this Buddha's face and don't feel scared at all.　It was a relief that I didn't get swallowed up by the other person's mood.

''I'll take that as a compliment.

Hmm, okay. Hey, Seiryuu, let's hear it.

Ryujin-sama cut his gaze from me, turned to his right and spoke to me.

''Really, Ryujin-sama doesn't like to explain, doesn't he? Well, that's fine. Luciel, you have done well to become a wise man and free our dependents. Thank you so much.''

Then he called her a holy dragon and opened his mouth, and it was a woman with pure white hair that grew to her shoulders.

I couldn't imagine that she was a woman when she was a dragon, but I can certainly tell that the atmosphere is definitely that holy dragon.

But still, it's itchy to be thanked out of the blue.

The actuality of this is that you will be able to get the most out of it. Thank you as well.

'Hmph, I'm glad I was able to help you. Oh, and you can tone it down a bit more if you want.

Honestly, it's hard to treat him differently than it was with the dragon, but it helps to not have to worry about his tone.

''Alright. Well then, I'm sorry to be so quick, but can you ask for an explanation?

Yeah.

Wait a minute, why do you always fall out of line with the Holy Dragon?

'I'm grateful for your help on a regular basis, so please understand that it's also sincere to respond to their thoughts.

Well, as long as the Dragon God's blessing is as a title, I guess I'm indebted to the Dragon God as well.......

As I was thinking about this, the holy dragon immediately fired back up.

''Dragon God-sama, please don't break your story. Or would you like to tell the story yourself?''

Yeah, okay.

Apparently, Dragon God-sama has a personality that doesn't like troublesome things.

He looks like he's in a bad mood, but well, the other attribute dragons are smiling and there's no problem.

''Hah~, then let's change your mind and talk about us reincarnated dragons first. Since we were born in this world, we've been changing our dependencies every thousand year cycle.

You mean that dragon Yorai?

Yes. But even though we are relying on a relying party, we are all spiritual bodies by nature, so the relying party itself is like a living body.

I think Yoridai is far too powerful for that........

''You mean........the figure you all are humanizing here is also the figure you all are making up?

'Strictly speaking, no, but my understanding is roughly correct. Well, I'm getting off track, so I'll explain that point later.

Excuse me. Continue, please.

'Yes. The reason we transfer our bodies to a new relying entity every thousand years is to preserve the balance and order of this world.

Then Forenoire, who had been listening silently, interrupted.

''Luciel, if we spirits are the protectors of the natural world, then the dragon race is the opposite, so to speak, who have created the world through rampage.

'Well, dragons and spirits have different roles.

The fact that the holy dragon smiled bitterly means that it's apparently true.

But now that I finally understand what position the spirits and the dragon are in, I understand the meaning of why they're pushing each other as maidens.

I still don't understand why they try to stick it to me, but........

'I see. But as I recall, I also remember hearing about other things like opening up the reincarnated dragon to increase the attributes that the next generation of heroes can use...

I think it was Lord Leinster who told me about it, I think.

''Yes. The human race has maintained its equilibrium without being destroyed by the demon race due to the appearance of a brave man... Only after the appearance of Leinster about three hundred years ago, the intervention of the evil gods slowly began.

What do you mean?

'Leinster was a bit of a rarity. He protected the world from the threat of demons with his armor, helped people with his knowledge, developed useful magical tools, and built all sorts of facilities so that no one would die of their injuries due to his charisma.

It's true that he didn't seem to think of the Demon King as a demon king and defeated him, and he went from developing a hand pump for wells to developing the magical state city of Nerdal, to becoming a brave man and founding the Church of the Healers and laying the foundation of Yenis........

A true great man.

''Why did that lead to the intervention of the evil gods?''

Leinster sealed off the continent inhabited by demons, which the humans call the Dark Continent. His exploits have made him well known to the gods who created this Galdardia. Only it is also to the evil gods.

.........was he also a bit of a caught up person?　No, then I'm still the most involved in the early stages of the game, am I the most involved?　But then, could it be that the human race that the evil god was talking about was weaker compared to Lord Leinster?　No way.........

''Could it be that Lord Leinster has fought an evil god before?''

''Yes. Not only did we use our attributes, but we also used space-time attribute magic to make them retreat alone.

Apparently it was the right thing to do... but how strong was it to be able to dismiss the evil gods all by yourself?

The world was at peace until the death of Leinster. But the Evil One fought Leinster and became interested in the human race and in being a hero.

The point is, you've gone too far.

''And that's why you sealed the reincarnated dragon?''

'Yes. A reincarnated dragon can only reincarnate into a new relying party if all of them are present. Normally, the reincarnation dragon would start preparing for reincarnation when someone discards the relying party, but due to the curse, the dragon is unable to leave the deepest part of the labyrinth.

''Could it be that you're waiting for a being to unleash the reincarnated dragon or something like that....

Apparently it was.

I was completely bamboozled by Lord Leinster.

I hung my head in dismay.

'Well, since that's the way it is, I'll probably have to fight the evil one.

As if it were that obvious...

Even if you try your best to come to the foot of the Dragon Valley, it's far from peaceful.

''Don't worry, I've thought out a plan for you.

'Say that first. So what's the measure?

'Unleashing the true abilities of the Dragon God Knight, another of the Sage Luciel's jobs.

When did they change classes from multi-dragon knights to dragon god knights?　But if you can do that, I wish you had done it sooner.

Is there a quicker way to get stronger?

So what's the solution?

''Don't panic. We'll have to call the Kwanglong back before that.

Oh no, I had forgotten all about it.

''.........Is that possible?''

He's the god of dragons, after all.

You can't break the curse of the evil gods in the habit of not being able to break the curse.........What should I think?

''What are you being so dignified about? You have a habit of not being able to break the Evil God's curse. If you don't hurry up and call the light dragon, we'll summon the spirit queen here.

As I was thinking that, as if to represent my feelings, Forenoire shattered the atmosphere created by the Dragon God again.

''d*mn it, don't do that. I'll call the light dragon back.''

Why are they so bullish on the Dragon Goddess?　Can you tell me if I ask you later?

As he said that, the magic power was girded to the Dragon God's body, a magic circle was formed, and as the light converged, the Dragon Man's beautiful man was still standing there.

''Huh?　

'I didn't want to see you. More importantly, it sounds like you were collecting spirit stones, what were you trying to do?

Kouryuu was about to approach Forenoir, laughing at him, but he stopped when he noticed Forenoir's gaze on him with frozen eyes that looked like absolute zero and began to be frightened when he brought up the spirit stone.

'Hey, nah, how do you know?'

'A Brange infiltrator in the kingdom of Lubluk politely told me about it.

....

He crunches his mouth and tries to mend his words, but it seems to only piss Forenoir off.

Forenoire looks at me once and smiles, and then speaks to Koryu in a gentle voice.

''Oh, did you get nervous about opening and closing your mouth so much?　Then you'll need a drink, right?

I'll have it after all.

He was about to say no when he sensed something, but Forenoire's smile made Koryu shudder and change his opinion.

Why did he feel a little closer to such a figure?

Luciel, can you bring me a big mug of that, please?

Are you sure?

'Yes. He's thirsty and I want to give him a lot to drink.

....

I immediately took the barrel of the object X and the pitcher mug out of my magic bag, poured it out and handed it to Forenoire.

You're the one who freed everyone, the wise man, and you want my blessing as well.　You want it, right?　Then you know what I mean.

He asks for help while scraping sweat like a waterfall from his forehead, but unfortunately I can't help him.

''It was decided to give Luciel a blessing, so what is it?

Yes ... right away.

Then that voice echoes in my brain.

Pilon [Title: Light Dragon's Blessing has been acquired]

Come on, let's get you a drink.

No, you don't have to do that.

The light dragon ran away, and Forenoir and the dark spirits followed it.

''Ahh, Kohon. Well, that should have been cursed by the evil gods too, but it seems that the curse was gone after it was summoned, so the release of that one should have already been done.''

They seem to leave the outbursts of Forenoir and the others alone.

''Well I was told that there are dragons that can control that gravity and poison?

'Oh?　Gravity is a dark attribute, so it must be the field of dark dragons.　For that matter, who told you about my attribute of poison?

No way, there was a poisonous dragon here.

''There's still some literature that's either false or true like that. More importantly, what do you mean by unleashing the true abilities of the Dragon God Knight?''

"Fight us and carve our strength into your body. It will make you stronger.

Will they allow us to join them?

I would prefer to follow Master Luciel if I could.

The masters are asking with their faces down, but I'm sure they must be laughing.

''Well, I'll admit that it would be better to have more people to counter the evil gods, so I'll admit it. But those who don't meet our standards, I don't care if they die.

In that case, we would like to join you.

Dragon God-sama's threats were nothing to it. When Lumina-san stepped forward and bowed her head, the War Maiden Holy Knights followed suit and bowed in unison.

''I'm also Luciel-sama's squire, so...''

We'll be there, of course.

Estia followed, followed by Nadia and Lydia.

'What about those dwarves over there?'

'Let me build a workshop. We've got some work to do.

Sometimes I like to go to Luciern to relieve stress.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, dragons, show him to the workshop.

Yes?

A slightly smaller boy raised his hand and took Doran and the rest of the technical team with him.

''Dragon God Knight Luciel, I'm telling you, there's a special menu for you as well, so you don't know what's going to happen if you don't go to your death, do you?

So it was about this.

Was the water spirit's advice hinting at this?

.........It feels like we're back to the old days, but I believe that if we can endure this, we can return to peace and quiet. But we can't stay here forever, can we?

How long do you expect to be here for?

It's up to us. Don't think you can have a peaceful life without his motivation.

One day, I'll train myself desperately thinking only of making this grin on my face.　

I made up my mind to do so, and the days of training with the Dragon God and the other dragons were thus set to begin.
