796 A smooth sail?

The first Dragon King meeting of the year was about a face that combined greetings.

I'll leave the specific discussion to Mistral, and I'll rush to the Dragon Forest, my next destination.

What drove that plan crazy was the spear use of the skinny body, information brought about by Dragon King Heorona.

"Early in the New Year, good news, huh? On my way here, I've been watching the gorilla's nest. According to the stories of the surveillance dragons, the fires have gradually begun to weaken since the dawn of the year"

A twist arose from among the dragon kings who were not supposed to show any upset about something a little or softly in Heorona's report.

Once.

There was an unprecedented uproar involving all of Dragon Peak.

One man, born between the dragon people and the people, cursed his fate and tried to plunge those living in Dragon Peak into chaos.

But his ambitions were never finally achieved.

Me or Mistral. Besides, dragon warriors, dragon kings, and dragon tribes united to retreat from his deep, dark darkness.

That, at the end of the fierce fight.

We, who could not be given a deadly blow, used bitter measures.

We slapped him down into the nest of apes who were about to burn everything down by turning a painting of Dragon Peak into a flame of hell.

Warcraft in Warcraft.

A legendary warcraft that wraps its tongue around even old Sleighsta, who has protected the dragon forests and spiritual trees for two thousand years. That's the gorillas.

He said the flaming hell created by the gorillas would continue to burn until they burned everything in the territory down.

Years, if you do poorly, longer years.

On the contrary, life burns down even dragon veins.

When they eat everything up, the gorillas leave for the next land.

Dragon King Heorona told us that the flaming prison of the territory was weakening as a report from the earth dragons who continued to monitor the territory of the apes.

I glance at Mistral. [M]

The name of the man swallowed by the flames of the gorillas is Orta.

Alta is also a childhood friend of Mistral and Zan, right?

And where the fact that the fire in the territory began to weaken meant that there was no longer anything to burn inside the territory, that is, the existence of an alter had also been burned down.

Until now. Nobody ever spoke of it though.

Maybe Alta is still resisting in the territory of the gorillas, and she's alive. Some might have had the idea that

But that possibility finally crumbled.

Even those who were enemies.

Even if it only brought disaster to Dragon Peak.

Still, someone must have sympathized with the birth and condition of Alta, right?

Was Heorona's report really good news for Mistral, who was childhood friendly and fought himself as part of an aspiration to defeat Alta?

Or is it going to be where they poke me with sad facts?

I'm curious, I stare at Mistral.

Then you noticed my gaze, Mistral looking back.

And he had a gentle grin, as usual.

"I'm fine. I think it would be a pleasure to talk about how Dragon Peak's worries are going to be resolved. Besides, if the gorillas would leave Dragon Peak, they might be able to get help with this one, too, to the local dragons who were commissioning the surveillance, right?

"Yeah, you are."

So how long will it take before the flames are completely extinguished and the signs of the gorillas are gone?

All this, I can't tell anyone anything definitive.

Nevertheless, it is certainly good news that we may be able to summon the forces of war that were allocated to the surveillance of the gorillas.

"Ooh, Elnea. You're going to the Dragon Forest Guardian, aren't you? Then we should see how the gorillas are along the way."

The Dragon King Belleague urges me to follow the Dragon King's Conference.

Me riding Niemia while everyone drops me off.

As Niemia spread her wings, she rose to the sky of Dragon Peak, where the snow clouds flowed.

"I'm coming!

Mistrals and dragon kings waving on earth, plus the villagers.

The next time you're reunited with everyone is on the battlefield intercepting the demon king.

Niemia goes up in altitude.

Through the gray clouds, the sun reaches a dazzling high altitude.

"It's strange, isn't it? Cloudy, you can't go up from a certain height, can you?

The clouds are stretching vertically. It stood countless stops, overlapping, forming thick snowclouds.

Breathtaking, as usual, to a landscape different from the clouds that look up from the ground.

"You'll never get tired of seeing the view from the sky again and again."

"Stunning view."

"It's a privilege to see only those who can fly on the clouds, like Niemia!

"Nyan."

Rocking his long tail, Niemia flies through the sky.

Snow clouds spread everywhere as if to fill Dragon Peak, and from above you cannot ask about valleys or coniferous forests.

Something tells me that there are mountain ranges that break through the gray cloud waters and show off the tips of sharp peaks, but they are all bright white and cold.

But as we progressed, we saw a heterogeneous area, different from the view of Dragon Peak in winter.

"The ape's territory, Nina. Scary."

"You don't have to get too close, do you?

Burn everything down, the flames of the apes.

That, the sky was no exception.

A hell of a flame wrapping around creepy on the ground. Nevertheless, the firepillars are not raised to the height of the clouds.

But there was not even a single cloud in the airspace situated over the territory of the apes.

Niemia is flying higher than the clouds.

But don't be alarmed.

Neemia wings while taking care to stay away from the sky above the ape's territory.

I checked the gorilla's territory at a distance.

"Hmm, I don't know."

"I don't know."

As always, the flames were burning up, roaring the atmosphere.

I'm supposed to be away, but I feel like my skin is going to burn due to heat waves.

What the hell is weakening that hell?

Even now, I feel like I'm going to be taken in by the flames just because I'm close, and I'm going to be wiped out without leaving any ashes.

As Alta falls into the nest of the gorillas (or less).

I almost got caught by the gorillas, too.

I remember the horrors of the time and tremble from the bottom of my soul.

"If the dragons have been watching me for a long time, maybe they'll see the difference."

"I'm going to see you?

"Yeah, it's better to hurry to the Dragon Forest this time. You can't negotiate with the Dragons until you join Fio."

I am the leader of the Dragon Peak Alliance.

The leader of the Dragon Clan living in Dragon Peak is the Fiorina of the Golden Winged Dragon.

You can't ignore that Fiorina position and go ahead and talk to the Dragons on your own.

If it's a simple favor, I'll ask you personally, but this time I want the Dragon Clans all over Dragon Peak to help me.

Niemia swirls around the perimeter of the gorilla's territory just around the corner, changing course.

The goal is a moss square in the dragon forest.

"Hi Grandpa!

"Yes, sir. Welcome to Lily's address -"

"Yeah, you little brat. Don't interrupt my long-time reunion with Ernea."

"What can I say, it's always the same thing to do. At the same time, I was trying to sneeze you and Niemia all over your nose."

As soon as we get to Moss Square, me and Neemia laugh a lot.

Old Sleighsta, I tried to get myself into the usual prank.

The next term, by Lily, the guardian dragon of the Dragon Forest, Sleighsta's old plan was crushed with dismay.

I'm sorry to hear that, Grandpa.

"For God's sake, if thou shalt have pity on me, it shall be the end."

"Grandpa, if you're bluffing, Lily will take your place."

"Huh. I want you to show me how temperamental you are. Besides, retirement while healthy isn't a bad idea. Let's go around the world with you."

"Whoa! I'm looking forward to that! Lily, come on."

"Ernea, you are cruel. Lady Sleighsta's retirement means Lily won't be able to move from here because of her role. Lily wants to travel with me."

"Oh, that's what happens..."

That was a blind spot.

I wonder if there's any good way.

Together, we all want to go out, right?

Ask the Titan Demon King?

No, no, that demon king will follow you on a trip as a delight, won't he?

So, Mr. Ashel?

Will Niemia grieve?

Mmm.

This is a difficult challenge.

"It takes. That's a peaceful concern. But apart from that, do you have a problem?

"It was!

Long time ago I saw Old Sleighsta and my thoughts were happily bouncing around.

When I get myself right, I tell Old Sleighsta what Micheira asked me to do.

You can tell Old Sleighsta about the girl that she was just born without hiding it, right?

"... Hmm, the dragon gods and their daughters in attendance at childbirth"

"Grandpa, do you know who the girl is or what?

Actually, we don't know who the girl is either.

Who are the girls that Micheira and the others plan to protect dearly and travel around the world using the Spirit Tree as a signpost?

I really should have asked Micheira. For some reason, I was upset to hear it.

If I thought about it now, they wouldn't listen to me?

In the atmosphere, rather than, maybe some technique had removed the thought of "asking about a girl".

Old Sleighsta listens to me and closes her eyes quietly.

Me and Neemia, and Lily, shut up and wait for Old Sleighsta's answer.

A short time has passed, quietly.

Old Sleighsta opens her eyes quietly, just like when she closed them.

And he looked down at us with his golden eyes.

"You're too ignorant to know the truth about the world."

"Us?

"No. My."

"Even Grandpa, there's something you don't know?

"Dear Left, at this age, you don't know everything. Perhaps you know the answer if you ask around the witch. Unfortunately, I don't know either."

I can't believe even old Sleighsta doesn't know who the girl is.

Surprisingly, me, Neemia and Lily look straight in the eye.

"... Yep, Grandpa, so. We are now relying on many handouts to help intercept the Demon King."

I couldn't find out who the girl was.

But aside from the point of view.

Again, I turn to old Sleighsta.

And I said a favor.

"If possible, I'd like Grandpa and Lily to help."

Lily replies to my request, "Yes, yes, I'd love to."

But old Sleighsta just looks down at me with her thoughts behind her golden eyes, and she won't open her mouth.

And also, time flies quietly.

I look back into old Sleighsta's eyes and wait for a response.

Neemia and Lily, too, don't be ridiculous, shut up and read the flow of time.

How much silence would have flown.

I took a deep breath when I realized I couldn't even breathe.

But I can't breathe the way I want.

When, I was nervous.

Old Sleighsta, who is gentle at times and harsh at times.

He's always watching over me, preaching teaching me not to go the wrong way.

You can count on me at any time, my dear master.

That esteemed old Sleighsta will pass silence on my request.

I was instinctively aware of the atmosphere.

Plus, many times more time passes.

Still, I just quietly waited for Old Sleighsta to reply.

Old Sleighsta, I wonder what the hell he's touring.

Why can't you just take my word for it?

Yeah, no.

I know.

I was just pretending I hadn't noticed.

The truth is, I realize the answers Old Sleighsta gives.

But.

Still.

I want to be sweet with old Sleighsta, I'm here.

Old Sleighsta knows I'm sweet.

So, Grandpa can't get the answer in his mouth, can he?

"Grandpa..."

"... sorry"

Me and Sleighsta's old voices overlapped.

And old Sleighsta, who can hang his long neck.

"I cannot hear your wish."

The words I was prepared for overflowed from the mouth of old Sleighsta.

That's all I fall off my knees.

My vision darkened.

It's just that I couldn't get Old Sleighsta's help, and I was desperate as if the world was over.
