182 Lesson 181

"Why is the Northern Empire after the dwarves? Even though you know the old days, when it comes to overshadowing the current state of affairs, it will be near impossible. Maybe the idea is to pick even a small bud... but it doesn't fit the cut."

Aotearoa was not convinced that a country of that size would strike a dwarf colony that was just inherited.

"I think one, like I said earlier, is that we're after this long-living magic tool. Of course, we have all sorts of information, but apparently, Joe Gregor has learned the secrets of the Empire, and that's the biggest reason they're after us."

Torah quiets to hear Zames' secrets, but Deena was blocking the sound of creating wind magic walls around him so they wouldn't be heard.

"What's the secret?

To Aotearoa's question, Zames shook his neck sideways.

"I'm sure it was before he died, and no one's informed him."

Aotearoa dropped her shoulders on the words. It was because Grevin felt his way into the trail to a clue to what he had found.

"It's just..."

"Just?"

Hear what Zames has to say, and Ethereum prompts you to go ahead.

"Joe Gregor said he had visited the Dragon Nation many times before his death. Maybe if you're from the Dragon Nation, you know something... but the Dragon Nation doesn't know where they are right now"

Aotearoa had also read various literature in the library and elsewhere, but the residence of the Dragon Nation remained a mystery.

"... you certainly don't see dragon people talking from every book on the border at some point. But maybe... there's only one clue about that, maybe."

"Oh, is that true?

Though Zam's surprise appeared, Ethereal's expression made him feel a little less confident.

"I'm not sure... but for now we're going to be looking for a place for the Dragon Nation"

"Are we going to go around all races now?

Aotearoa was haunting her head, but Deena laughed with pleasure.

"Deena...... that sounds like fun"

Aotea saw about Deena with Zito eyes, but Deena's expression remained unchanged and smiling.

"Of course you are! It's all novel to me, and... I enjoy traveling with Sota, Atra and Ed!

To Deanna, who honestly answers that from the front, Ethereum was remembering someone from the past who said that the harder it is to travel, the more fun it is.

"Right, right. It's normal that there hasn't been a clear lead before. We'll figure it out again with that."

Aotearoa also remembered that she had left it to the flow until now, and her feelings were a little lighter.

"Well, it's time for us to go."

Aeta raised her hips in the usual summary judgment, and Atra and Deena also tried to make a room to imitate it.

"Hey, no, give me a minute!

Zames also rushed up, stopping the three of them from trying to leave the room out loud.

"What?

"No, you can't leave without thanking the benefactor of your life for anything!

That's what Zames told me. The three face each other, but in the meantime Zames was moving to the entrance. I could push it through forcefully, but I look desperate to convey my gratitude, so Aotearoa decides to break it.

"Okay, then let me eat something delicious"

"Thank you. Bye!

To Aotearoa's words, Zames became a full grin, leaving the room to speak to the Lady.

"Hey, get ready for the feast! A feast to welcome the benefactor of life!!

When Zames says so, the lady nods knowingly.

"We've already started getting ready. I also tell everyone in the settlement. Look, you're gonna hear voices from the outside, right?

As Madame said, outside I hear a busy voice like the festival is about to begin.

"You... that's my wife!

Zames tries to cuddle up to his wife with less joy but is lightly avoided.

"Don't do anything stupid, you go outside and instruct everyone too!

"Yes!

Noticed and spine-stretched, Zames rushes outside to take command of the banquet formation as the lady told him.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but now I'm going to say Mina, Zames' wife. Thank you so much for saving our settlement this time."

When Mina introduces herself, she bows her head deeply and conveys her words of thanks to the three of them.

"No, never mind. There was something I wanted to ask Zames, and it just turned out to help."

Aotearoa was slightly resistant to being thanked again in this way because it was something she did to fulfill her purpose.

"Even so, in fact, you are the benefactor of our lives. Thank you...... you make it difficult to say it too persistently. It's a fuss outside, so please rest at our house if you like. Of course you can take a tour outside."

Mina seems to be the readable daughter-in-law of the air, and soon switched stories.

"Right, it's not a bad idea to hang around outside appropriately... but what's he gonna do before then? Torah."

Mina turns into a troubled face to Aotearoa's question.

"There's nothing like a barn here, so I'll keep it locked up in some house... and there's no way"

"Then I'll build a replacement for you. In the meantime, we've built a stables, so we can apply them."

Mina is surprised at what Aotearoa said.

"Oh, you know, can you do carpentry work, too?

"Sometimes, things are made in general. Is there somewhere I can build a cabin?

"Right. I was thinking about breaking the cabin behind this house, so I wonder if there's a problem there. This way."

She opened the door of the house in order to lead Aeta to the back of the house.

"Well, I'm gonna make a little house, so you two can do whatever you want."

"Um, shall we look around a little bit then? We didn't have time to slow down during the battle."

"Right."

Thus Ethereum went behind his back, and Deena and Atra were divided into tours within the settlement.
