Chapter 240 Draconic Carriage



"You will only cause panic," Arad sighed, staring at the dragons.

The red dragon drew closer to Arad, lowering his head to look him in the eyes. "We have no intention of risking the mediator's life."

The gold dragon sighed, combing his long white beard, "I hate to agree with him, but we won't let the mediator get back home alone."

"Give up, Arad," Claug looked at Arad, "Those dragons won't back down,"

CLAP! The gold dragon clapped his hands, "So we are," He smiled as a large golden carriage emerged out of nowhere. "Please load the mediator inside.

Ten metallic dragons(Two silver, five brass, one copper, one gold, and one bronze) flew down, shifted into humanoid form, and started working on transporting Alcott and Ginger into the carriage.

"Then I will call beasts to draw the carriage." The massive red dragon growled, looking back, "Raigin, bring the lizard!" He roared, and a massive blue dragon flew in carrying a massive steel cage.

Arad felt a shiver down his spine. The monsters inside were two titanic blue lizards with twelve legs, two ram-like horns, and lightning dripping from their blue skin.

"Behir!" Ginger gasped, looking up, "Are you sure those things are under control?"

The blue dragon laughed, "I raised them from eggs, don't worry, they are as tamed to as dogs to your kind." BAM! He landed in front of the carriage and released the Behirs. "My name is Raigin. I rain monsters for the chromatic army." He looked at Ginger with a smile.

"Hoi! Don't try to promote your business to the mediator!" A brass dragon growled.

Raigin looked back, "I'm introducing myself, but I won't mind selling a monster or two to the mediator if he needed some."

Ginger sighed, "One of those monsters is enough to level a city, and you're using them to draw carriages."

Arad looked at the behirs, Tina, and her child hiding behind him. "They are strong,"

[They are. You can't even defeat those behirs, let alone the dragons who trained them.] Mom sighed, [Your first goal will be reaching s-rank and solo defeating s-class monsters like those. Then dragons.]

"Master Arad, those monsters are." Tina held Serin tightly on her chest. She felt them glaring at her like food.

Arad lifted his hand, touching the behir's nostril and pushing it back. "She isn't food,"

The gold dragon smiled, seeing a crawling baby pushing a large bulldog from the nose to get him away from his toys. The behir stepped back and looked at Arad, tilting its head in confusion.

The blue dragon laughed, "Be careful. They might bite your hand off. Well, not intended that it." He approached the behirs and started patting them with his massive claw.

The behir started nibbling on his claw and purring like cats. "This is them playing, but the force of their bite is still enough to hurt you."

The gold dragon approached Arad, "He's right, so be careful until you at least become an adult."

Arad stared at the gold dragon, "You already know what am I?"

"Of course, I do, void born. But that doesn't change the fact you're a dragon. No matter how much power you amass, it will be useless without the experience and technique to use it. You will get those when you become an adult and through training," He smiled, "You need a dragon mentor to teach you how to fight like a dragon. Care if we send one to train you?"

"Hoi! Goldy! Don't you dare send anyone," the red dragon growled, "We will send one as well if you did. We can't have you be the one taking steps forward."

"Jealous?" The gold dragon smiled, "And call me Kinryu,"

Thud! A silver dragon landed beside Kinryu, "General, we need to start moving. We don't want to attract the attention of any world powers."

"You're right," He waved his hands, "Let's move. We talk on the way."

"Can't you just fly us to Alina? And what are world powers?" Arad looked at Kinryu.

As Tina and her child rode beside Ginger and Alcott, the carriage started moving and Kinryu was ready to answer Arad's question as the armies of dragons surrounded them for protection.

"We can't fly you there since the change in pressure could harm the mediator. The carriage is designed to eliminate all vibration so he can be moved safely." Kinryu smiled.

"Then who are the world powers that silver dragon mentioned?" Arad asked with a serious face.

Kinryu closed his eyes, "Hmmm, world powers." He looked at the sky, "Ancient warriors from the era of the gods, our queen Mary is one of them. The same for the chromatic queen Lola." He sighed.

The red dragon flying in the sky drew near, "An active one is an alchemist Olivia, we thought of getting medicine from her, but that proved hard as she barely speaks with anyone."

"Yeah, I was wondering if I could ask Her Majesty Mary to speak with Olivia to make medicine for the mediator." He looked at the sky, "But we need to get back for that,"

"An alchemist? Is she that powerful?" Arad looked at Kinryu.

"She managed to create the elixir of life with the help of the moon Goddess. That made her immortal, so apparently killing her is impossible." Kinryu looked at Arad, "Yet, she still says the elixir is still weak."

"Why?" Arad sighed, "She gained immortality."

"Her Majesty Lola said that Olivia is trying to find a cure for someone, and the elixir is too weak to heal him." The red dragon landed and started walking beside the carriage.

"And those aren't the only ones. There are a lot more wandering the world, presumably all in search of a cure for that man." Kinryu smiled.

***

After a day of travel, the dragon army stopped.

"What is it?" Arad looked at Kinryu, seeing him sweating, "Shit," Kinryu growled, jumping from the carriage and walking to the front.

All dragons landed.

Thud! Arad jumped from the carriage and rushed toward Kinryu, "Hoi, why did everyone stop?" He asked.

Kinryu pointed toward the distance.

Arad looked, seeing a man wearing strange clothes sitting cross-legged on a stone. A pink-haired little girl ran around and played around him.

The man looked at Kinryu and the carriage, "I've never seen so many dragons in one place," He smiled. Click! He grabbed the hilt of his sword.
