After that, the four continued their journey to the hidden land inhabited by the Serpents - the White Serpents.
"You are cursed, abominable, that white skin is never of the White Snake!
I stepped inside. No, I heard that curse, and the four of them stopped.
So I see one who is surrounded by several serpents with gray skin and is pointed at the tip of the blade.
The man was a serpent, but his skin was white, and his eyes glowed golden.
"What, you guys!
The spearhead turned into the lizards a few seconds later.
"Wait!
Kagetra told the serpents to lower their swords.
"We're the heart of a dragon, we stopped here occasionally on our journey"
The serpent immediately delivered his sword.
Dragons supposedly read the other person's psyche with heart sounds and body temperature, but snakesmen read their psyche at body temperature.
The serpent judged the lizards harmless.
"Human or Demonic..."
"No, none of them are. We're superhuman."
The serpent shed a grain of sweat from his forehead.
"... I see. So, what's a Superman doing in a place like this?
"I want to get in trouble for a while"
The serpent once again stared at the lizard tiger.
"There is no inn. But there's room available."
"Helpful"
Kagetra bowed her head.
The serpents quietly returned to the settlement, as if the last-minute curse had also been a lie.
Later, one, the white serpent, is left behind.
The four stared at the serpent in wonder.
"Not a spectacle"
That's what the white serpent said and stood up.
"What happened? I heard the curse."
It has nothing to do with the rest of us.
The white serpent kicked Zephyr's words.
"We can talk to him if we want, right?
"No need, you can tell from what I've heard, no need for extra prying"
Wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, the white serpent disappeared into the woods behind the settlement.
"It's unusual. Was it white?
Zephyr was that intrigued.
"The white snake should be a symbol of prosperity, a noble being among the serpents. But he's obviously..."
"I was being abused"
Kagetra said.
"Brother, where are you going!
Zephyr, alone, was about to step into the woods behind the settlement.
"Go to your room first, I need a little help."
"Hey, over here"
One of the serpents is back.
Apparently, he'll show you to your room.
By then, Zephyr's figure had disappeared and no one would answer, so Khalifa responded instead.
I'll go after him.
"Relax, you must have followed the white serpent earlier."
Adolph was stopped by Khalifa and the two were led to the room with Kagetra.
In the woods a short distance from the inside, there was a figure of a white serpent.
"... did you put me on or did I tell you not to mind?
said the serpent who noticed Zephyr behind his back.
"Well, don't say that. We're traveling, adventurer, you've heard of the Dragon's Heart, haven't you?
"No. I'm not even interested. I'm sorry, but please disappear."
"Are you talking about yourself, me, or something, or are you changing?
"This is the most natural way for me to talk, you fool around too?
"No, isn't that okay?
"... right"
"I'm Zephyr, what do you say?
"... Shawn"
"To?"
"Don't make me say it again and again, my name is Shawn, King of Snakes!
"Shawn or King of Snakes? I don't know, you've changed your name?
"I think your Lord's name has changed considerably, too?
"Really?
"What are you both doing?
Cagetra showed up there.
"Earlier..."
"This guy's a lizard, he's my brother"
Zephyr also introduced Kagetra to Shawn.
"Kagetra, or are you lords really changing your name, do all the people out there have strange names?
Kagetra laughed at Shawn's wording.
"I don't know if it's unusual, but I mean, why is Shawn's skin white? Snakemen are usually gray, aren't they?
"This skin was born"
"What does that have to do with the fact that they were pointing the sword at you earlier?
"Those outside are deviant..."
Shawn stopped saying what he was about to say.
"When I was a child, everyone worshipped me as a White Snake rebirth. But now it's like this."
In Shawn's eyes, he felt neither anger nor sorrow.
"Is something wrong?
Zephyr asked.
"No, there's nothing. But everyone wants to keep someone different, that's all."
"A different person?
"I don't know, I'm not heterogeneous to them. I don't understand and now I'm only disgusted"
"Is that okay with Shawn?
"What?"
He returned his doubts to the Kagetra question.
"You don't think I'm going to change it?
"... if that is the end of me, I will have to accept"
"You just have to get out of there, don't you think you're going to get out?
"Where do you tell me to go away from here, that the outside world is better than this? I don't think so, the inside is better yet. Would the lords who came from outside know?
They understood that Shawn's words made sense.
If you go outside, you will suffer not only from the color of your skin, but also from the problem of being an animal man.
"So that's why you keep staying inside?
"I don't need a reason, I just live now. But yeah, you're an adventurer..."
Shawn's gaze glanced away for a moment.
Zephyr and Kagetra had an understanding of the meaning of Shawn's side.
That used to overlap with ourselves when we were in Beyond.
Unlike here, I admire and dream somewhere else.
But Zephyr didn't ask me out yet.
Shawn was also aware of the meaning of their gaze.
He could have known what the two were trying to say, being a serpent.
The encounter was coincidental.
Adolf suggested that the four of them visit inside, and Zephyr followed Shawn.
It is a whim that Shawn named Zephyr.
But from that coincidence the three broke each other up, and a friend was born to Shawn, who was lonely.
Zephyr, Kagetra, and Shawn.
The three of them were dawning in mock warfare in the woods every day.
"Shawn, what was that move earlier?
The two stand half-baked in motion too fast, which Shawn showed for a moment.
"That's my unique skill, God Speed."
"Divine speed?"
"Um, during activation, we can embody God's quickness. I've been able to deal with this since I thought about it."
"It was as if I could not see..."
Cagetra laughs a surprising half a smile.
"What a handy skill."
Zephyr is impressed and envious.
"But you never shut up, you could have told me if you had such amazing skills, couldn't you?
"You won't be able to answer what you won't be asked, I wasn't hiding it"
"Really, you're hiding something else, like amazing magic."
"Hate, this is all I have. No, there was another one, here it is."
That's what Shawn said, showing his uniquely decorated sword.
"This is the Serpent Sword Kilgirus, my mother's vision."
"Was Shawn's mother a swordsman?
Zephyr asked.
"Apparently so."
"Apparently?"
"I don't know her face."
"Bad......"
"It's not about apologizing. I don't know your face, no grief. The serpent tribe specializes in swordsmanship known as the serpent genre - Shire. My mother was a particularly powerful Shartin in her lifetime."
"Shertin?"
"I'm talking about a warrior who made the Snake Clan superb."
No grief - Shawn said.
But Zephyr didn't step in any further.
Shawn had many mysteries.
But when he started prying, Zephyr initially hesitated to give Shawn a sad vibe.
Kagetra was the one who was soothing the silence after that every time.
Only when did they start talking about each other by pinching cagetras between them.
It was Adolf who said he wanted to see the Snakeman.
Major countries were mostly visited.
At one point, Kagetra suggested that we go to the playland (Gikoku).
For the four of us who were seeing the limits to our adventures on the Banome continent, the story of going out to sea was well timed. There is another reason why I want to go to the playland, and that comes from the name of Kagetra.
Zephyr and Kagetra's mother were from a playland.
His father is a superhuman from Beyond.
My brother gave my father the roots of the Superman, and my brother the roots of my mother.
That's why Kagetra wanted to go to the playland someday.
The four also thought about crossing the ocean.
But for the people of this continent the sea is an unknown realm, and few try to get close.
There are theories about those who tried to cross, but there are no stories about those who came back.
The four gave up their country of play first.
That's when Adolph suggested it.
"It seems that some beasts have a rare, minority ethnic group called the Snake Man."
But Adolph was somewhat lonely after he came into the serpent.
"Adolf?"
"Khalifa, what's wrong?
The only person who was aware of that discomfort was Khalifa.
Adolph was looking at the night sky through a window in a single room.
"The Zephyrs have gone to the woods, aren't they?
"... I'm fine. He'll be back in there."
"Beautiful."
The two look at the night sky.
"Oh......"
"When you leave here, where are you going next?
"Well... I can be anywhere, if I can be with everyone"
But Adolph has been acting strange since he came into the White Snake.
He didn't say anything.
So Khalifa waited.
Open your heart, until Adolf speaks from himself.
There was a problem while the four of them left the building.
That is the banishment of Shawn.
Shawn, who had been isolated for a long time, but those inside knew the fact that he had been secretly interacting with Zephyr and the others.
"We have decided to deport you officially."
In the square were gathered the chiefs and all those inside.
Shawn is stunned by what has suddenly been said.
"It hasn't rained in the last few months. The well dried up. The crop dried up. You know what this means?
The notion of a white snake was inside.
It's a religious story everywhere.
"It's a myth. There's no such thing as sneaking around."
Shawn tells in a low voice, but they don't hear him.
"You were born and cursed"
"Curse?"
"At that time, we worshipped you as the rebirth of the White Snake. By doing so, I hid what was from you. Because that was the will of your mother, Lady Shartin."
"What do you mean? If you hide it, what the hell did you hide?"
"Your parents didn't die in battle. I ate it right after you were born."
For Shawn, that's not a believable story.
"If you ate, what do you mean you ate, some kind of metaphor?
"It means exactly as it is, your Lord ate his mother. You, the baby, have sucked all of your parents' lives. There was nothing we could do with a flash of events. When I noticed, only two dry bodies and a white baby were left there. That's you. At the time of his death, Master Shartin was told that you were the rebirth of the White Serpent, lay down the facts and worship them... But that's the limit."
It soon became clear to Shawn that the chief was not lying.
He didn't have to feel the temperature, he wasn't the eye of the liar.
"I forbade other words as chief. But the story gradually leaked, and I ran out of hands, but when I realized it, this situation had arisen that only the Lord did not know. And it doesn't rain... you know what that means?
For a moment, the snake sword placed on Shawn's waist swayed slightly.
"You're telling me to get out of here, aren't we the same serpent?
"You think it's the same?
said one of the snakesmen.
"Where is the same, look at what you look like!
One more.
"We're not doing this together!
With one more, I fly a jerk to Shawn.
Shawn stopped talking.
Whatever you say anymore, it doesn't sound like these guys.
It was useless to talk, and I was foolish to assume that I was a family.
I've never had hope for the inside.
I knew the situation would remain the same in isolation.
But he was good nonetheless.
It was just good to be able to live inside my mother and father's alive.
But I realized that it was not even acceptable to me.
Shawn was pulling out the snake sword.
"That's the whole point in this. We will perish as we are. So is your mother."
The chief's fresh neck danced on the square.
The Snakeman inside noticed it was seconds after it fell to the ground.
I don't see so much of Shawn's sword muscle.
The serpents, who noticed, wandered quietly.
The Zephyrs did not get their hands on it and watched Shawn's judgment in silence.
"Finally, you're showing your true nature, you monster!
The serpents attacked Shawn in unison.
But it didn't deserve the expression "attacking," it was a dotted, hilarious ugliness.
Shawn kept slashing silently without saying anything.
The serpents cannot let him bathe a single machete, and before they know it, they are slaughtered and their lives are finished.
He was consistently a gentleman.
Because that was his virtue.
That's why I've never shown my fangs before.
Nor did he mourn his own placed situation, nor did he ask the Zephyrs for sympathy.
I do not doubt that this is the mystery of the world and I have accepted it.
The serpents miswore the nature and strength of Shawn in everything.
His swordsmanship is more than equivalent to that of Shartin in the serpent genre (Shire), and his previous foolishness and contempt have only been tolerated by his forgiveness.
When I realized it, the inside was turning into a sea of blood.
Shawn stared into the sky, ironically the first rain grain on his cheek told him in months.
Struck by the rain, Shawn opens his mouth after a while.
"Are you not going to add me to your people, my lords?
There was no clear intention.
Above all, he was still relieved.
The spirit is unstable and I ask myself why I live.
"Of course, we welcome you. From today on, you're the heart of a dragon."
Kagetra said.
Without straying, it was the same for Zephyr and Khalifa.
"Let's be my love knife even in this kind of thing"
A rain grain passes on the surface of the raised blade and falls on its own face.
He continued to be struck by the rain for a while, as he washed it away with rain, still turning away from the original, but turning away hatred.
One row was in a small country facing the sea called Anoras.
Because a flock of Sai Lanes appeared in the harbor.
Seylane seduces a man with abundant flesh, beauty, and beauty.
At first glance, a creature that seems beautiful, but long as a sea snake tail from the waist to the bottom, with fish scales and a raw odor on the surface.
There are bird wings growing from the shoulder forward, and even the beast man's face is drawn to its unusual appearance.
Furthermore, Seylan is distinguished from demons, not monsters.
Because it speaks and understands the language.
Because it is very intelligent and difficult to crusade, whether alone.
Anoras made a request to the heart of the dragon.
It is extremely rare for a country to make direct requests to a single party.
Normally, let the Adventurer Alliance pass through and gather.
But their power was so trusted by now.
The five were instantly repelled and buried by Seylane when they arrived in Anoras.
Having accomplished their request, they were invited to a party sponsored by the state...
"And Seylan was really brilliant."
Shawn said emotionally.
"What do you mean, brilliant?
Khalifa shows disgust.
"I've never seen such a wonderful woman before, I wanted one for viewing if I could."
Frozen table.
"No, no, no. I didn't see a woman's body, I felt nauseous about that raw odor, you know?
When Zephyr asked everyone to agree, she remembered the smell and whimpered.
"My face and upper body could have been beautiful, but those tails... my fangs were uncomfortable too"
Kagetra doesn't seem to understand that preference either.
"No, I'll always decorate Seylan's house one day."
"Where are you going to decorate it?
"When hunting Sai Lane again, I ask the Lord to accompany me at that time"
"I don't like it, do I? I don't want to see that creep again."
Zephyr refuses.
"Well, I'd like to look into the ecology, like what's different from a monster..."
Kagetra changed the story well.
"Well, let's combine that investigation."
From beside what I said, Shit, a lizard tiger with the look on his face.
Zephyr laughs unexpectedly, gets caught and Khalifa laughs too.
Shawn smiled, adding that it was a serious story.
"That, Adolph, where are you going?
Khalifa asked Adolf, who would take his seat.
"I think I drank too much, it's gonna hit the wind a little bit."
Adolf disappeared.
"Hey, Adolph."
"By the way, Khalifa, when did that magic become available?
"Huh?"
Khalifa's voice disappeared into Zephyr's question.
Nobody cares about Adolf leaving his seat.
"That magic that stopped Seylan from moving."
"Oh, you mean" insulated "? It was written in the Grimoire, the reward for the Black Dragon Crusade."
"Grimoire?"
"Yeah. I decrypted that, but maybe, they thought it was fake. But I looked it up and it was real."
"Real? What do you mean?
Kagetra asked.
I mean Adams' book of magic.
The three were stunned and silent.
Zephyr is surprised.
"What's Adams... that Adams?
"Without a doubt, it's a magic book by Adams Rado Pollyphia. Such powerful sorcery, something you can't possibly produce other than him"
"Can I see your magic book for a second?
"Fine..."
Remove the Apocalypse from Khalifa and turn the page.
"This is the place."
I pointed to a part of a page.
"Is this the Platonics?"
"Yes."
"Phew..."
Zephyr turns the page further.
"Hmm, what's this?
It was a painting with a wand facing one old man.
A black goblin-like sculpture at the tip of the cane points to the old man and depicts him with his mouth open.
"Hey, is this what the wand says?
"You can't do that. The cane can't talk."
"That's right..."
Zephyr turns the page again.
"Hmm, so what's this?
"Lend it to me for a second"
Khalifa taking books from Zephyr.
"What, you haven't been able to read it yet?
"I didn't understand everything, either."
"So, what does it say?
Khalifa followed typographically desperately.
Bumps and squeals, after a while...
"Well, that's what happened!
"You figured something out?
Suddenly Khalifa grinned and raised her voice.
Zephyr asks concerned.
"So here's the thing"
"What does this mean?
"So, the abyss!
Khalifa said satisfactorily.
"Abyss?"
Zephyr questioned the frown.
At this time, Zephyr passed the word for the first time and touched one end.
The encounter is a small book.
"The abyss is not given only to those who seek it..."
Khalifa read out the letters.
Finish Seylan's request and leave the country, Dragon's Heart.
Visit another country to make a request, and leave the country when you finish sightseeing.
Their journey on the Banome continent lasted for a while.
In the meantime, an alarm rang to mark the end of the journey of the five.
War.
The Darmskail Empire, the power that had previously asked them to crusade the Black Dragon, claimed ownership of the continent and fought over countries that it did not recognize.
Gradually, the Second Banome War began, involving the heart of a hero, the dragon.
The anti-imperialists organized the Free Army and made demands on nations, adventurers and those confident in their arms.
Adventurers from all over the continent took part in the war and split into two factions: adventurers on the imperial side, liberal adventurers.
Five of them responded to the call to stop the empire's plot and restore peace.
But the war prolongs, and the soldiers follow a path of depletion.
The convocation was forced on the townspeople and villagers, and the continent was increasingly set to walk towards death.
