A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 574: The Dragon Killer Part 2

A Reurus that looks puzzled by the name "Dragon Killer."Lewis continued his conversation, tilting his neck to such a revulsion.

"'A dagger of bravery and famous crimson sword.Protect the beautiful princess by showing yourself.Follow the Spirit and crush the Dragon. "It sounds like a bard is chanting like that... don't you know?

"... you don't know.Maybe it's someone else, not me?

Reurus became a real face and waved his hand in front of his face.

("Dragon Killer"... the neck I brought was a Wing Dragon neck, and to protect the beautiful princess... is it the case that Miss Seras poisoned Ruvillia?But I didn't protect you...)

Winged dragons are also monsters called dragons, but when they say "dragon killer," it feels like they killed dragon species.The dragon species known to Reurus was as varnished as vanilla, and I didn't remember killing him by mistake.

Also, if you show yourself and ask if you protected Ruvillia, you will tilt your neck as a Reurus.

(In other words, no matter how quickly the rumors spread, it would take about five days for such rumors to flow back to King's Landing.....)

Reurus, who thought so much, turned his eyes towards Natalia.

Do you know anything?Or are you involved in this?

When they returned to King's Landing, Natalia and Bernard sent a message asking them to raise the head of the Wing Dragon.As a result, he asks with a half-confidence, even though it is in the form of a confrontation.

"I'm not saying there's no connection.But I've never heard of the name "Dragon Killer"... and I don't know if the bard gave it to attract the audience or if it was "something else.”

"... I see."

I don't think Natalia is going to hide anything anymore, and Reurus is convinced.Then he put his hand on his chin, and he narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze towards the universe.

"By the way... is there anything to be disadvantaged about me being called the Dragon Killer?

"Yes... from the lord's point of view, bandits won't get close to land that has the power to be called 'Dragon Killer'.In other words, being so safe will make it easier for traders and travelers to carry their feet. "

"... that's what it would have been if it had been the land where the" wind dust "reigns, right?

If it leads to the interests of Baron Amendura, then there is nothing to complain about as a Reurus.However, it was a mystery whether it was so effective.

Louis, with a bitter smile, spins his words in response to the question of Reurus.

"It's rare for a lord to patrol the territory directly to maintain law and order... In light of that, I don't know when and where to encounter Reurus, known as the Dragon Killer, and Jilba, known as the Imprisonment, on the land ruled by Wind Dust.What do you think from the bandits?

"When you say you encounter me, it feels like you've met a messy opponent... well, why don't you come near me?"

Reurus was originally nicknamed "Monster Eater."Even if you set up a castle in a less popular mountain forest, you don't know when you'll be attacked by a bandit.

"Hahaha... as long as I envy Baron Amendora.As a lord, keeping the territory safe takes money, manpower, and time... as long as I'm really jealous. "

Louis says with deep emotions at the end of his words.

"And then... yes, even if I was ordered to kill the dragon, I guess the advantage would be that it's easy to refuse."

"Is it easy to say no? That's not the opposite... it's as simple as" Dragon Killer "."

Hearing Natalia's words, Reurus leaned strangely.

For example, if the King or a court nobleman asks me to kill the dragon species - Vanier - I think it would be natural to accept the "Dragon Kill".

As a realuse, I believe that there is no chance that Vaniel can be beaten in a serious killing without “play” in a fight.Because the opponent is capable of bombarding with advanced magic while flying around the sky at high speed.

Ask Sarah and Neddy to shoot magic at each other and knock down the vanilla, but the opponent can easily evade because they can fly.Even if I asked Radia to build a scaffold in the air with ice, if Vanille is serious, Reurus will be knocked down without a dagger.

(You're such a jerk anytime you think about it, he....)

I can say with confidence that it has become stronger than before, but no matter how many times I think about it, I can't see the victory of Vanille's opponent.

"Rather than dragon species... do you know that advanced monsters are basically a disaster?If you get attacked, you'll have to give up.It's hard to get a reward that's commensurate with the danger, even if you ask them to fight you. "

"Hmm? Well, then, the defeat of the dragon... I see, it's a dragon, and he said that there were powerful monsters, but didn't he say that they were comparable to advanced monsters or advanced ones?"

Reurus, who speaks like that, never stopped by King's Landing again and was “full of hunger” enough to think it would be okay to secretly finish his life in Baron Amondola's territory.I feel like saying that politics and tricks should go where I don't know.

Of course, if you think so and live quietly, you won't have to struggle with the world.

"But it's an honor to call you Dragon Killer.Even if you ask me to kill a dragon species, it's good to spray a reward that the other person can't pay, and even if they say it's for honor, they already call it "Dragon Killer", so I can say it's not necessary.If you refuse, your reputation will fall to earth, and you will be threatened... "

"I don't like your fame....."

Even with fame, Reus thought that his stomach would not swell and that trouble would just come in.Therefore, it is no threat to Reurus.Rather, it would make you happy.

"But Reurus, even if he were good, could even discredit his guardian, Baron Amendura....."

Lewis, who was listening to Lewis and Natalia's conversation, said sorry.When he heard that, Reurus changed his expression without saying, "If that's the case, it's different," but Natalia shook her head sideways with a cool face.

"I don't mind.Even Reurus has a stack of debts, and I'm worried about how to repay them.I don't think Reurus will cause any trouble to the territory or people, and I will accept any trouble with my personal reputation. "

That's how Natalia gracefully drinks the tea she was serving.Reus, who was listening to Natalia's words next door, decided that if Natalia said so, she wouldn't have to think any further.

"Really... I don't think I deserve to call it loyalty, but I envy you."

Lewis, who drew his "intent” from Reus' gaze at Natalia, decided to change the subject.

"... well, let's get back to it.That's why, as Count Doria, I'm not going to pretend to deliberately turn Reurus into an enemy when he comes to be called the Dragon Killer.In the first place, you should know that before that, you were called the "Spirit Man," and that you had a deep connection with Spiritualism. "

"Really... it would be helpful if there were no problems.Speaking of which.... "

Reurus, who has spoken so far, recalls Natalia stabbing him with a nail before leaving.And when I said no to Louis, I got it in my pocket, and I pulled out two glass bottles.

"... what's that?

Lewis looks suspicious when he sees the vitreous bottle Lewis took out.The glass bottle contained liquid, but one contained a clear liquid and the other contained a light purple liquid.

"One with poison, the other with antidote... it's the“ real thing ”of poison that your daughter used."

"What!? Where the hell did you get that!?

Until then, Louis, who looked suspicious, opened his eyes and asked him to step forward.And when I heard that it was poison, Anemone tried to move to a place where she could shelter Louis at any time, but Reurus found no reason or meaning to poison Louis, and immediately coughed it up and returned to its original position.

"The one who made this poison was a Gregorian... or the bishop who fought this time.You wanted to brag about it? I talked a lot just to provoke it a little.She said she thought about Miss Serras and the same poison she used to use with Ruvillia. "

"- What?"

Louis' expression changed, and killing and anger overflowed.However, Reurus did not move and gave Sebastian the vitreous bottle as evidence.

"... what happened to the bishop?

Looking at Lewis's attitude, Lewis takes a big deep breath before asking.The inquired Reurus scratches his cheeks to see what he answered.

"Ah... what do you mean... he was the seventh bishop and named 'The Collector', Brain.And that brain... for now, he's dead.To be exact, he was killed. "

……

As for Reurus, he was dying to explain.So as you scratch up and explain what happened, Lewis's mouth gradually begins to arc.

And after listening, Lewis reacted.

"Kh... hahahaha!When you tried to take your sword, you burned it, and then your people killed you?It's a masterpiece!

It looked as if I was laughing on the floor.Badly mannered, he clapped his hands on the desk and shouted joy at Brain's death.

(... well, I wish I'd done that.)

The same is true of Serras, but the damage done to the Count Velg family in the past by Ruvillia's “weakness” is not small.Even with the time and money spent on healing, Brain branded Ruvillia weak and disqualified as a noble child.

The “branding” disappeared with the help of Reurus and the others, but Louis continued to be heartbroken when he continued to see Louis, who was apparently generous but disheartened for many years.

Louis, who heard that the cause of all kinds of evil had lost his life, was not willing to stop his behavior even though he thought it was a noble behavior.

Still, if you keep laughing for more than a dozen seconds, you can recall being in front of the Guest and pull in the laughter.And as he stood up with the momentum to kick the chair, he turned his expression into something serious and walked towards Reurus.

"I see... you took revenge on the Counts of Velg.As for me, I wanted to try it directly, but if you took care of it for me, I'd drop the drinking. "

"No, you were listening, weren't you?It's not me.... "

"I'm glad you helped Ruville with Serras, but this time, you have a lot of debt."

"Hello? Can you hear me?

Lewis spins his words like an actor in the theater, and Lewis presses Lewis for a moment.But Louis didn't stop, but grabbed Reurus' hand, which he held out and tried to stop.

"I think you're a reliable friend, but it's not good to rely too much... don't you?As a nobleman... no, as a human being, as Luviria's brother, you have to repay the favor you received... right?

"I agree that I have to repay the gratitude I received, but I have a bad feeling about it.

Reurus is alert to what he's going to say.I thought I'd just turn my heel back and go home.

"In return, I would like to apply for a formal alliance with Baron Amendura to make it easier for me to persuade my family to support Baron Amendura.And then, Baroness Reurus... I would like to make a formal appearance before you as the head of the Count of Werg family. "

But Louis had a serious look on his face and changed his voice to something serious.

"On the surface” is fine... could you marry our Ruvillia?
