Chapter 137.2: The Great Sage

Naturally, the surrounding area must be taken into consideration too.

That was the reason why most people chose the plot of land that was easy to defend when they built a country.

If they lack manpower, they use a thick rampart to stop the monsters from attacking the country.

But since a place that was easy to defend was rarely available, the same went for humans living spaces.

This was also the reason why a country's expansion rarely happened.

But, we're strong. We had no problems defending the country even in places deemed unsuitable for humans to live in.

Thus, we choose a place with convenient access to roads to build our kingdom.

That's truly a bold decision indeed. The part that you lack will be supplemented by the hero's power. As expected of the Herald of Golden Dawn. A feat that only hero-dono and co could accomplish. I'm really glad that I came to visit this time. I guess your kingdom will develop rapidly.

Said Magius with a smile on his face.

Herald of the Golden Dawn, that was one of Reiji's monikers.

In the legend, the golden era for humanity was the era before the Demon King unleashed the monsters into the world.

And Reiji was hailed as the savior who would restore the golden era of humanity.

Alas, I couldn't smile upon hearing that.

No, there's no such thing. The truth is, we're trying to do some reclamation in one part of marshland to turn it into agriculture land, but we ended up provoking the ire of the lizardmen who live there.

Eld was built on the land that we got for our achievement in exterminating the demon beast Peluda, who used to rule the marshland.

The marshland's location happened to be near the territory ruled by Peluda.

Thus, we decided to reclaim that marshland and turn it into an agricultural area.

But, our action incited the wrath of the lizardmen in Vandohl.

That marshland turned out to be a holy place for the blue-scaled lizardmen in Vandohl.

We thought it shouldn't be a big deal if we used only part of it, but we underestimated the lizardmen's faith.

I see. Such problems happen quite often.

Yes, as much as we don't want to accept it, it happens quite often.

Humans weren't the only intellectual creatures in this world.

There were many other intellectual creatures with different ecologies than humans.

When a human tries to change the environment to the one most suited to them, they will meet resistance.

When they clear the forest to make cultivated lands, the one living in the forest would resist.

When they try to reclaim the marshland, the one who lives there would become their enemy.

And the humans called them monsters.

Though we also called them monsters until just a while ago, I decided to change my train of thought a bit and look from another perspective.

But, you might meet an even greater resistance this time. The lizardmen who live in this area worship Azimid after all. If something goes wrong, Azimid, or their dragon subordinate might come out to wreak havoc. And many people might die if the battle becomes a large-scale battle

Said Magius as he frowned.

The lizardmen of this land might offer a sacrifice to ask for the assistance of the Blue Dragon Azimid.

Azimid was the name of the dragon who had been living for a really long time, they were the dragon closest to the Sea Dragon King of Blue Scale.

We might be able to defeat Azimid. But, we might only be able to barely hold our ground against the Dragon King who is said to have powers comparable to god.

Not to mention that each high-lizardman and dragon were much stronger than humans.

We might suffer a huge amount of damage if both Azimid and his dragon minions come.

Yes, there are such possibilities. In this situation, I honestly have no idea when the golden dawn will come.

What a surprising fact.

I heard that the great sage Magius had been living for 800 years. Not to mention that he was also the founder of the Magicians Association.

That's why the fact that he knew about the event from 400 years ago wasn't a big deal.

Still, I had never expected that the myth about the golden age had never existed 400 years ago.

And if that wasn't spread by the religious organization, it means that Rena and the other gods had nothing to do with this matter.

Rena herself had never told me about the golden age.

So that's the case Are you not going to spread the truth, master Magius?

Why should I do that, Chiyuki-dono? That myth gives everyone hope for living.

Said Magius as he looked at me while combing his long beard.

Yeah, that would be a good story for everyone.

In the first place, without the myth about the golden age, humans were nothing more than an invaders who came later.

There was no way they would be willing to give some space to the monsters if I told them that they were latecomers.

That's

I was at a loss for words.

You can't express it with your words. Hero-sama is fighting to regain the golden age. Let's just leave it as it is. Let the humans living in this place praise Hero-dono.

Magius concluded the matter for me.

In the first place, this kingdom was built after we exterminated Peluda.

Many humans celebrated the founding of our kingdom since according to their understanding, they just reclaimed something that had belonged to them before.

We weren't too happy that the people were praising us.

But now that I understand the real situation, I wasn't too pleased with their praise.

That moment.

Someone knocked on the door of the parlor room.

CHIYUKI-SAMA, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY! THERE'S A DRAGON! A BLUE DRAGON HEADING TOWARD THIS PLACE! PLEASE COME QUICKLY WITH REIJI-SAMA!

The owner of that voice was the maid who worked under Kaya.

And yes, it was truly an emergency situation.

Since she said it was a blue dragon, the one who came might be Azimid.

Understood! I'll be right there! My apologies for the inconvenience, master Magius. We seem to have an emergency at hand, may I leave you for a while?

Go, Chiyuki-dono. Azimid seems to be coming to attack this kingdom. In my personal opinion, it will be for the best if you do not kill them. But of course, that's completely dependent on Hero-dono.

I knew what Magius was trying to say.

Killing Azimid would make us the enemy of the Dragon King. That was something that I wanted to avoid at all cost.

I understand, master Magius. We will try to drive them out of this place.

I left the room as I spoke.

There were so many things to think about.

But, I had no time to think about it now.
