Intermission 3: Chance Encounter in the North

The dragons will become the knights’ partners, racing across the battlefield with them. 

The knights will welcome the dragons as their partners, and help them to produce offspring. 

However, if the knights use the dragons’ power to satisfy their own greed, this contract will be rendered null and void. 

This was the contract between Nothung and the Star Dragon Mountain Range. 

From Jirukoma’s perspective, King Lastania did not give him the sense of stability that Souma had, but he found him to be kind and magnanimous. At the very least, he didn’t seem like the type of person who would abuse the refugees, or work them to death. 

Relieved by that fact, Jirukoma concluded his audience with King Lastania.

His audience with the king complete, Jirukoma was walking through the halls of the royal manor when he saw someone standing next to a pillar. The person, who wore a white hood pulled low over their eyes, was leaning against the pillar with their arms crossed. Even with the hood, and despite his slender build, it was apparent he was a man. 

When Jirukoma tried to walk past the man, the man spoke. 

“Would you be the one who led the refugees here?”
