Disciple of Immortal

Episode 12 Tale of Taoyuan Township

The next day, I took Ramel to the tavern, where I decided to hear more about Ruler of the Sky from her.

I was surrounded by Pomera, Philia, Ramel, and five of Rosmond's men who followed me on the street.

"I've heard rumors about the Dragon Man, but I've never seen the real thing before. But...."

Rosemond said so and exhaled with astonishment.

Ramel glances at the thighs of the chicken.

The bottom of my mouth was dirty with sauce.

"Ningen-san's rice is surprisingly delicious! I thought you were eating something worse!

"... you're a naturally rude son of a bitch. I have heard that it is a sacred existence that lives quietly for a lifetime while practicing in secret and monitors humans and monsters."

Rosmond narrowed his eyes and stared at Ramel.

"The dragon man's meal may be just crafty. I only put spices on the whole grill or mixed the ingredients cut to the same size, at best. However, the cuisine here is incredibly ingenious, just by eating! Amazing!"

Ramel seems to have liked the city's cuisine a lot.

"The development of a culture that is directly linked to simple desires is deepening, Mr. Ningen! Dragon people are always confronted with peace, the way the world is, how to become stronger, and the immediate physical desire is often secondary, so such a culture may not be very developed!

"You... you're not trying to fool us, are you? That's an extra problem."

Rosemond's eyebrows were nervous and twitching.

"Oops, I'm sorry... But I think that kind of loose and playful ethnicity is wonderful. The Dragon Man is longer and more robust than Mr. Ningen, so he may have less physiological appetite."

Ramel is lowering his head, but he doesn't feel very bad about words.

"... you're a pretty intense kid. Um, Canata, do you really think this kid knows about The Ruler of the Sky?

Pomera asks me anxiously.

"Yeah, yeah. I also asked briefly yesterday, but I thought it would be better to ask Pomera directly from Ramel."

When I spoke to you yesterday, I didn't feel rude, but there are great cultural differences in meals.

Ramel may also be a little distracted by the excitement.

In fact, it is true that there are many individuals who live with a larger mission because the Dragon Man has a longer life and ability than the Ningens.

Ramel chewed the chicken bones and turned to Pomera with a serious expression.

"The purpose of a dragon is to protect the world. However, it is too sensitive to Ningen, which can cause frequent collisions and useless disputes. To avoid that struggle, the dragon meets the Ningens to produce dragon people when they need a watchman nearby."

"Hmm, I see... that's the roots of the Dragon Man."

Pomera nodded.

"My peach dragon village was created to protect the dragon hole. Dragon Holes are places where the magic of the ground veins is concentrated. They are sometimes called magic holes or rifts in the world. Simply put, it's like an organ in this world.

Around the dragon hole, there are masses of crystallized magic and plants with strong magic. All of them are precious, but if they are roughed up on their own, catastrophes can occur around the world and many trees can wither. Usually the dragon will protect us, but since we were already in Ningen-san's kingdom at the time, we were born and dropped as guardians. It was almost a thousand years ago. "

Pomera nodded with a strange expression.

I wonder how it will lead to The Ruler of the Sky.

"... Actually," The Ruler of the Sky "came to Tao Long Town recently. The Ruler of the Sky was aiming for the dragon hole we were protecting. I was trying to take over Peach Dragon Town while hiding my identity by attracting dragon men who worshipped me. I happen to know that... the Master of the Sky is guilty of a crime and has fled Tao Long Gong."

It was then that Ramel found out that The Ruler of the Sky had sent a Double Dragon to his home.

Originally, "The Ruler of the Sky" risked his dragon's taboos to gain strength and became known as the Dragon of Evil.

At the dawn of the takeover of Peach Dragon Town, regardless of the negative impact on the world, he should try to pull the magic out of the dragon hole without limit.

As a dragon man with the role of protecting the dragon hole, we must definitely stop him.

However, it would have been impossible for Ramel to do it alone.

I checked the status yesterday, but Ramel's level was not very high.

"That's what happened to Ramel...."

Look at Ramel as Pomera sympathizes.

Ramel dropped his eyebrows, made an unfortunate expression and bowed his head to us.

"Mr. Ramel?

When I speak, Ramel looks up at me with a gaze.

"I didn't tell Kanata-san yesterday either... but I have a favor to ask! Could you tell Dragon King, the head of the Dragon Man, about this to Peach Dragon Town? Canata, who kicked the Double Dragon, will be able to jump out of the way of the Ruler of the Sky followers and paddle to meet the Dragon King!

"Raise your head."

"Please! If it's true, it's not a problem for Ningen-san... if it stays like this, it's irreversible! I, the dragon man, am lowering my head to Mr. Ningen!

... I can tell from Ramel's words and deeds that I'm a bit proud of being a dragon man.

I put my hand to my mouth and think.

Sooner or later, The Ruler of the Sky will set us up with some kind of interference.

Instead of wandering around without knowing when they will be attacked, it may not be a bad idea to get into Peach Dragon Village, where Ruler of the Sky is likely to hide.

"I don't have anything to thank you for... Peach Dragon Town is so beautiful! The entrance to Peach Dragon Town is hidden, and the Dragon Man can only tell Ningen where he felt obliged!

"Beautiful place...."

As expected, I can't take it easy enough to go for sightseeing purposes...

"Besides, if you acknowledge your strength in your visit to the Dragon King, you will be rewarded with valuable items stored by the Dragon King! There are 5,000-year-old history books written by dragons and tablets describing the high magic that the gods used in ancient times!

"A high level magic said to have been used by the gods in ancient times....?

Could it be... magic with a superior presence like Nialotope?

That way, if mastered, it could be a trump card to the Nialotops.

"Kanata-san, isn't this your chance?

Pomera seemed to think the same thing.

I nodded little to Pomera and headed back to Ramel.

"Mr. Ramel, if you could tell me a little more about that story....."

"Excuse me, clerk! Two of these meats, please! Ah, three! And two of these dishes and two of these dishes are the same! I can still eat!

Ramel blocked my reply and waved to the clerk.

Are you sure Ramel is watching this disturbance...?

"Um... you've eaten quite a bit, but you're okay with the money, right? I was concerned about the materials at our store, and I wonder if they tend to be somewhat more expensive than other nearby stores...."

The clerk asks afraid.

Ramel dropped the bones of the chicken he had on the table.

"Oh, you're going to pay...? I'm a dragon race born to protect the world and Ningen....."

Hearing Ramel's words, Pomera dropped her shoulders.

The clerk opened his mouth as if he had been stunned.

"... if you want money, I'll pay you, so please let me do whatever I want."

I said so to the clerk, even though I was a little stunned.

Ramel's expression shined.

"Thank you! I love you, Kanata! Now, for what I asked for, please!
