NOVEL NEXT chapter 102
102 – Part 3 Episode 4
I felt dizzy in front of my eyes for a while, and then a golden aura instantly covered my body.
I could resist if I wanted to resist, but I didn’t.
‘It’s a spatial series.’
The dragon lord’s will was contained in that mana and magic.
Come here, meet me.
I got a strong feeling as if he were saying that, so I responded by surrendering to the magic.
The reason I came here in the first place is to meet the Dragon Lord.
When I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, I found myself in a golden palace.
“Hello?”
And before my eyes, a blonde haired boy was waving his hand while laughing.
“… To think that the dragon lord who shared the history of the continent with the appearance of a boy is bad taste.”
“How is it, when we get older, we don’t become senile or die.”
” That’s true.”
“Sit down for now! I can’t leave guests standing!”
When the Dragon Lord beckoned, the scenery changed in an instant.
“My office… ?”
“Isn’t this the most familiar place? Talk comfortably
Familiar places are best!”
It’s not like Illusion Magic.
In an instant, the golden palace transformed into the same shape as my office, and even the smallest parts matched exactly, to the point where I doubted space magic.
“… I haven’t been able to follow this.”
As part of that suspicion, I opened the desk in the office, but there was nothing there.
“hahahaha, I always make what I see. It is troublesome to implement even invisible.”
… I’m not saying it’s impossible.
“Well, first of all, thank you for your consideration. Dragon Lord, you said you wanted to see me?”
“Yes! I missed you a lot, a lot.”
“May I ask why?”
“Um… That’s a pretty complicated question. There are many reasons. First of all, are you a descendant of my friend? He is also a descendant of a dragon. Well, I don’t seem to think so myself.”
“I am just an emperor.”
“Well, Huang En admired me too. It’s obviously a power similar to dragon words, but the source is different. Even if I could press it with force, it seemed like it would be difficult to follow. First of all, I am also a king, a king.”
After saying that, the Dragon Lord cleared his throat a few times and then said this.
“Ah, ah. Get close to Jim… Oh, no.”
“… Did you try to follow Hwangeon? Then I would advise you to give up.”
“Hmm? The reason is?”
“You are not a mighty dragon, but a good ruler.”
“Why not a good monarch?”
“A ruler who neglected civil war and killed dozens of his subordinates is never a good ruler.”
“Ha ha ha! That hurts But, wasn’t that more fun? I didn’t want to interfere with my old friend’s cute daughter decorating after a long time.”
“… You mean Tiuria?”
“Yeah, right! After all, does the emperor know? He’s a cute kid, and he’s also a devilish devil. That’s why I was the only one of the Demon King’s offspring to be spared.”
“What do you mean?”
“Um… where should i say okay! Demon king. The Demon King was definitely strong. How did it become so strong? The magic I created is obviously a great study, but in fact I only framed it. The demon king used magic better than anyone in history. More than me, of course. As a result, those children fell into a grand delusion. They acted as if they were dragons. But Tiurya didn’t. Even though he was pretty good at magic, he hid himself like the demons of old, scheming, making contracts, and fighting each other. How proud are you?”
“So, did you stand by the civil war?”
“Yes! Well, that doesn’t mean I stepped in and killed my kids, did I? After all, my friends who will live are alive. Oh, it’s a pity that our elder died. He was a pretty capable kid. In terms of human country, chancellor, ah. Is this a rather old position? As for the empire… Okay! Chairman of Congress. It felt like that. Oh, there is no parliament anymore.”
“You mean the dragon who helped establish the law?”
“I know! Did you hear from Argo? It was the elder who understood my intentions and organized them into laws. That was pretty great.”
“Why did you bother to make the law?”
“That’s right, no matter what those little things do, it wasn’t fun to be swept away a few times by the hands of the Transcendentalists. Be it a kingdom or a tribe. New studies and civilizations that appeared time and time again were blown away by the snorts of the gods. This is no fun. You have to understand my feelings of having to live seeing only the faces I see forever.”
“… That proud law is about to be broken. Any plans to stop it?”
“No!”
The Dragon Lord smiled brightly and said that he was excited just imagining it.
“Actually, the Great War was quite enjoyable for me too. Demon God is a talented friend, so you should have a taste of seeing how strong he would have become outside the continent, and I’m looking forward to the darkness. Death is… That friend is a bit different.”
“If you don’t like it, you will step in and kill it.”
“hahahaha, he’s pretty fun to kill just because he doesn’t like it. To be precise, what he’s doing is quite interesting.”
“Tsk.”
“If the continental camp had been overwhelmingly pushed back, I would have tried my hand, but isn’t that the case? There’s Shien and Kiriya. There is also an emperor. Oh, and the world number.”
“I heard that the Lord’s servants along with the whale are preventing the invasion of gods from outside the continent.”
“Mmm! Even to me, the continent isn’t ready yet. Won’t you last long though? Whales are strong, but they will probably have to run away even if only the darkness moves.”
Darkness, demon. And death.
Can we see these three as the enemy’s leader?
“Dragon Road. You said you wouldn’t move yourself.”
“Um… now?”
Tsk.
Are you going to remain a variable until the end?
Still, listening to what I’ve said so far, it doesn’t seem like he has any intention of suddenly helping outside the continent and antagonizing me.
“Are you thinking of stopping other dragons from entering the war?”
“Why me? I have no intention of stopping them if they want to. It’s not even against the law. In fact, the ancient dragons don’t listen to my words or the law. Why? Do I lack my dignity?”
Yeah, because you don’t care about those things.
Both I and Rod knew it, so I didn’t bother to say it out loud.
——————————————————————————-
“Your Majesty… ?”
The emperor disappeared, and Shien looked around in bewilderment.
It was Kiriya who stopped him.
“Calm down. Because Rod called.”
“You mean Dragon Lord… ?”
“Yes. He said let’s meet today, so it looks like this.”
“… Are you thinking of seeing one-on-one? Prepare you too. You never know who will be called next.”
At Pluto’s words, the face of Zephyrus, the god of the wind, hardened.
“Uh… Should I also meet the Dragonlord in person?”
No one answered Zephyrus’ question.
I just looked at the black dragon as if it was pitiful.
——————————————————————————
“Damn, that’s crazy.”
After that, I went back after having a conversation with the dragon lord to some extent.
As I remember, Pluto’s dwelling moved on its own while ignoring the Lord’s magic as my divinity. What was so funny about it was that the Lord sent me away with a big smile.
“Emperor, are you back?”
“Oh, Kiri.”
“What did you talk about… “
…
Before Kiriya finished her question, she was enveloped in golden light and disappeared.
“…… The questioner is gone, but does not answer. A little talk about the situation, and most of the useless personal affairs. I struggled with what the intention was, but on second thought, it seems like it was useless.”
“Exactly, Laios. I am also very quick to understand. There are no grandiose intentions or hidden meanings to Lord. I just do it if I want to, or I don’t.”
“I will also see Lord after a long time. When was the last time?”
“Isn’t that the first time since the Great War, Isabelle? Because you never left Kiriya’s side.”
“Well, that’s right. Pluto, don’t you think of coming this way too? Our Kiriya has a good personality and is very nice. She is, of course, also a beauty.”
“… Is she not aware that she is an old dragon?”
“There is, but what is it? That Argo over there is actually closer to the great forest than the canyon, right? Perhaps if the World Tree fights Lord, Argo will side with the World Tree?”
“hahahaha, I am always on your side.”
“After… “
Pluto looked at the two ancient dragons and sighed deeply.
The situation was a little different, but I felt a sense of identity as my old self was overlapped in that deep sigh.
“… Be strong.”
Perhaps the consolation of a distant descendant was somehow emotional, and Pluto suddenly began to complain.
“The Lord has no interest in reigning or domination, and each of the four ancient dragons left the canyon and entrusted themselves to other forces. Stupid Nidhogg mixed in with the lowly witches, and Isabelle claims to be Kiriya’s subordinate. Argo that guy… Don’t speak.”
After saying that, Pluto spoke a heartfelt word with a sorrowful expression on his face.
“The future of dragons is bleak… “
