8 Lesson 8: Dragon Armor and Easy Training

My name is John.

I am Viscount Grimore's competent butler.

Today is the day I come to the Adventurer Alliance again to scout the mysterious adventurer who defeated the Dragon.

It is time for my Lord Viscount Grimoire to return from the auction that was being held in the King's Capital.

So if you don't scout the adventurer in the matter by then, it's seriously yummy.

No, I must be competent and a member of the Viscount family.

Only to the extent that it makes the Lord's impression a little worse.

Is that true?

Nevertheless, my pride will not tolerate any further delay.

I walked into the guild building and headed straight for the reception.

Originally, it would be easier to summon civilians if the name of the Viscount were given, but the refusal of the previous invitation to dinner made it difficult to do so.

Basically, the Adventurer Guild is friendly towards the Lords.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to use adventurers' good offices in the Territory.

So if the Lords request it, the Alliance will act as an intermediary to convey this invitation to the Adventurer.

But when an adventurer declines an invitation from an aristocrat, the guild begins to decline good offices to that adventurer after the next time.

Disclosure of information, of course.

This is because the organization protects the existence of a unique force of adventurers.

I say, you have to be free with adventurers.

Therefore, we must not yield to tyrannical power.

It's not a strange statement to be accused of disrespect, but it was the Adventurer's Guild's first guild leader who said it was a masterpiece that protected people from the global disaster that once occurred.

Against that background, countries allowed adventurer guilds the right to veto irrational orders from the state and the right to protect adventurers.

In other words, noble power cannot be used to call, so we have to go out from ourselves and negotiate directly with the person.

It's a total pain in the ass.

I head to my usual reception and ask if there are any adventurers in the matter.

"Welcome to the Adventurer Alliance, Master John"

"Greetings are good, do you have an example adventurer?

This reception is called Elma, a beauty unlike any adventurer guild who wanders with the desolate.

She has been responding to me as an exclusive on this matter since I asked her to take care of the adventurer.

"Yeah, just in time. He would have just come earlier."

Oh, you can finally meet the adventurer who crusaded the dragon!

How many times have you stretched your legs here?

I send my gaze to the lobby wondering who the hell killed the dragon.

And I realized there was a big crowd in there.

"If it was him, I would just ask..."

"No problem, understood"

There, there's a dragon killer in that crowd.

"Oh, hey, Master John!?"

I immediately initiate action.

What kind of person are dragon killers after all?

Are you a warrior, a wizard, or how many pairs of adventurers?

Different questions arise in my head.

Anyway, the Alliance didn't return any answers to this question.

That's why I wasn't even excited about Gala finally being able to worship the rumored dragon killer.

"Excuse me."

Drawing the crowd, I head to the center.

And I saw it.

A man dressed in thin green, shimmering armor.

Convinced, this man is the rumored dragon killer.

"What do you say, this glow, this isn't normal armor?"

Apparently, Lord Dragon Killer was showing off his brilliant armor.

Surprisingly, it seems like a vulgar personality.

Sure, that's not just armor. I'm not an adventurer. Isn't it glowing that attracts interest even when I see it?

"Excuse me, may I?

"Ah? Who, you?

The dragon killer who interrupted the conversation looks grumpy and looks at this one.

That gaze is inexcusable, and I can see that the poor growth is plausible.

But strength isn't all about growing up, because this man is now crusading dragons.

"Excuse me. I am available to Viscount Grimoire to mend this town, my name is John"

"Viscount Grimore!?"

The Dragon Killer, as well as the adventurers around him, give a voice of surprise.

I can't help but be surprised at them. Because noble officials do not speak up to the usual adventurer style.

"Can I have your name, if you don't mind?

"Oh, me!?"

"Yes."

"I'm an org... an org. So what's the nobility for...?

Lord Dragon Killer, no, Lord Org asks me why I've been speaking to him.

Words are crude, but there seems to be some respect for the nobility to the extent that they correct the tone along the way.

"Actually, I was looking for an adventurer worthy of the conditions that are the life of Viscount Grimoire."

"An adventurer worthy of certain conditions?

"Yes, for example, a man of strength who can wear such brilliant armor."

"Armor?"

Lord Aug turns his attention to his armor.

"We will see that armor, quite a lot of business. Even ordinary people like me can see it as quite good."

This is serious.

I don't understand the good and bad of weapons and protective equipment, but I am quite confident in the aesthetic eye because I am entrusted with the management of Viscount Grimore's artwork.

My eyes tell me that this armor was created by a leading craftsman.

"You know what I mean? He's a special piece of armor created by that famous man, Goldoff."

Goldoff!? I've heard of it. He is an armorer in our territory who is said to contend for one or two in neighboring countries.

Naturally Viscount Grimoire also possesses the sword of Gordoff.

That was a delicacy to call a work of art, decorated with wonderful and beautiful decorations.

But that's why Goldoff's weaponry is quite expensive for the civilian population.

I guess this man is still quite capable of being an adventurer because he can buy it.

"And that's not all. This armor is made of dragon scales!

"Dragon Scale!?"

Again, yes!

The dragon material was just put up for auction in Wang Capital and is too fast to flow in general.

Because the only way to get it is to hunt the Dragon yourself!

"I didn't know they owned a dragon scale...... where the hell did they get it?

Come on. How do you answer that? Aug, no, Lord Dragon Killer?

"Oh, no, that's... I happened to be on an adventure and I got it by accident. Oh, I got lucky."

That's a painful excuse.

But I'm pretty sure this guy is still the dragon killer on the case.

He probably doesn't want to be enlightened about his identity for any reason.

I hear that many adventurers want to hide their qualities.

If we can find out the area well, it could be a means of showing this man.

"But being able to get so many delicacies means you're still a first-rate adventurer."

I camouflage away that you must be the one who defeated the dragon.

"Mm-hmm, sort of."

Admitted it! Is this man still the dragon killer himself?

"What do you think, why don't you meet my Lord? My Lord wants an armed warrior. If you want, you can take it as a knight."

"Kiki, Knight!? Me!?"

Lord Aug rings his throat.

Hehe, even though he is an adventurer who wants to hide his identity, he still sees himself as ambitious in his quest for birth.

"Oh, but hey, I don't want to stand out too much either..."

Hmm, this means you're asking me to assume that Viscount Grimore refused to invite you?

"Rest assured. If you want, my Lord will accommodate you with all kinds of things. You don't need to give an answer right away. Why don't you dine with my Lord for once?

Smell me that I can assign you to a discreet department, and I suggest you take a look at Viscount Grimore by eating.

"Meals, is it?

"Yeah, let me get you a pile of delicious ingredients."

"Meals or about that, well..."

All right, I got a deal.

All you have to do is attach a promise to become Viscount Grimore's minister between meals.

There are many ways to take in a man whose arm just stands.

"Then when you're ready, I'll see you later, so please excuse me for today."

"Oh, oh."

Phew, I managed to attach my promise to Lord Dragon Killer before Viscount Grimore returns.

Now Viscount Grimoire is also cheap.

◆

When the aristocratic officials who were talking to Mr. Aug return, the blemishes return within the guild where they were quiet.

I guess they all accidentally swallowed their spit and listened to Mr. Aug's conversation.

But I knew Mr. Aug was amazing.

Only A-rank adventurers can be scouted by Lord's knights!

"Shit, I don't have eyes for a voice like that without my brother, that Osama."

It was Gyro who threw it away in frustration. [M]

"You can't say that. Mr. Org was scouted by the Lord's Knight with strength."

"What are you talking about, brother? He was called out because he was wearing Dragon Scale armor. It's not like he's amazing."

"That's not true. That man identified Mr. Aug's prowess and spoke up. Armor is just a trigger."

'Cause the scale of the dragon that I gave Mr. Org is the scale of the green dragon. There's no way anyone would think that armor made of that amount of material is a business.

And even with that armor, the dragon material I taught Mr. Goldoff was powdered and made as a practice platform for techniques to mix with iron.

Aug also offered me the green dragon scale that I gave him, because if he could just give me the armor that Mr. Goldoff made.

So that armor is just a prototype made for Mr. Goldoff's practice.

Who would think someone wearing that kind of armor would be awesome?

"I don't know, my brother's so blunt, I'm worried he might get it wrong."

"That's not true. More than that, you're practicing your sword today, right? I need to get a crusade for that."

"It was! Today is the day my brother can teach me his sword!

"Yes, Gyro, if you practice hard too, you could be a knight like Mr. Org!

"... I'm not convinced there, am I?

Yeah? I'm Gyro. I think you can be a knight if you work hard.

◆

"Well, let's get started around here."

Gyro, you brought your team Dragon Slayers to the plains near the woods where we used to meet.

"So, what are you doing!? Are you bareback!? Or Professor Deity?!?"

"You idiot, heppoco like you won't be given the honor."

"What!?"

I was just about to start a fight, Gyro. Strip you and Mr. Mina off, and I'll start explaining.

"The first thing I'm going to teach you is basics, simple physical enhancement magic."

Yes, physical strengthening is fundamental in warriors.

"Physical enhancement magic? But I can't use magic!?"

Gyro says you can't use magic because you're a warrior.

It's a lot for beginners, but I need to get it right from this mistake first.

"You can't use magic because you're a warrior."

I'm actually going to explain to you, Gyro, while I set an example. [M]

"There's always magic in the human body. And the amount of magic can vary from person to person, but no one has any magic at all."

I converge magic in my right arm. [M]

"Now I'm concentrating my magic on my right arm. Everybody, look."

And basically hit the ground with his right arm.

Dogon!!

The ground can fly with that sound, and a crater about 5m wide can be done.

"This is the basics of body strengthening magic. If you wrap magic around your body, it strengthens all the powers involved in your body, such as muscle strength, agility, and defense, so it's a useful technology for warriors as well as wizards and monks."

And after a brief explanation, I turn to you, Gyro.

"Right? Isn't that easy?

"" "No, no, no, no." "

Strangely enough, it was denied to me at all costs for some reason.
