Disciple of Immortal

Episode 33: The Flaus of Violent Claws

"Is this the Dragon King Castle?"

I look up at the big castle in front of me.

White walls, dark roofs.

Golden Dragon decorations are decorated here and there.

It was an elegant Japanese-style huge structure.

"Um... Master, I still wonder if it would be better not to see the Dragon King right now..."

Although Odio showed me the way, he stopped me from seeing the Dragon King all the time.

"... honestly, I came here because I wanted to meet with the Dragon King, so I couldn't leave.I'm sorry. "

The evidence from the dragon people will be bad, but I have to say it here.

We can still wait for the Dragon King Castle item, but we must hurry to inform the Dragon King that the Ruler of the Sky is moving.

If the Dragon King is sick, the Ruler of the Sky and his minions may rush to take advantage of this.

"He said he had abdominal pain, but is the Dragon King in such bad health?

It is the length that binds the high-level dragon people.

It can't be low level.

I can't imagine how easy it would be to get sick.

I wonder if there is something behind it.

"I didn't want the Dragon King to make such a cowardly imitation of running away with a false illness, but if the Dragon King decided to do so for Peach Dragon Township..."

After Odio whispered something in pain, he raised his face in a hurry and shook his head violently.

"Ohh, ooh!Instead, the Dragon King is really not feeling well right now...!

"It's okay, Mr. Odio.I have some medicine to curse and curse. "

"I, no... well... there are such medicines in this Peach Dragon Township.Moreover, the Dragon King himself is not the one who can be cursed by a half-life illness or curse.Yes, yes... if so, I wonder if there is any possibility that Tao Long Gong's enemies have been subjected to suspicious tricks... "

"The suspicious trick of the outer enemy...?

At that time, I was connected.

If a high level Dragon King was subjected to suspicious magic at this time, there is no way he is not involved in the "Ruler of the Sky".

Even if it wasn't him, it might have been the work of an assassin sent by The Ruler of the Sky.

"Yeah, yeah, that's right!So, let's take a moment here...(12) I will contact the Dragon King somehow to persuade him to respond in a calm and sincere manner... No, I will ask him about his health.Master, why don't you rest in Peach Dragon Town for a while? "

"If there is a possibility of an external enemy's hand, it might be better to hurry.My mentor excelled in alchemy, and he was one of the top knowledgeable people in the world about psychotropics.I'm sure I can help you. "

Renaire gave me a magic bag filled with all sorts of spirits when I left The Hole of Hell.

It should also help us solve the Dragon King's hanging magic.

Even if it doesn't work, we need to discuss everything with the Dragon King about the Ruler of the Sky.

"I see... yes, no, shi, but, umm..."

Audio moans bitterly.

I don't know what it is, but I still find Audio's behavior strange.

I've been acting strange since I resumed all my trials.

It even looks like something dark is behind it.

"... Mr. Pomera, isn't Mr. Odio acting a little strange?

I talked to Pomera quietly.

I don't want to doubt it, but maybe Audio has something to do with The Ruler of the Sky.

I don't think Odio will betray Peach Dragon Town, but perhaps it was because of such an Odio that someone was taken hostage and the Dragon King had to be trapped.

Judging from the information so far, The Ruler of the Sky seems to be taking his cowardly hand in peace.

"... I don't think there's anything Kanata-san suspects...Why don't you take Mr. Odio's story and just wait a few days?

"Why? There's the" Ruler of the Sky, "and I don't think we should postpone it."

Something happens and you can't get it back.

"Uh-huh... well, that's definitely true..."

Pomera raised her eyebrows like she was in trouble.

When I arrived in front of the Dragon King Castle, there was a guard standing by.

She had peachy hair and was a cold-looking dragon woman.

Although it is slim, it has large teeth and nails and is nearly two meters tall.

Sharp eyes, like reptiles, were directed at us.

I had already heard about her from Audio.

It is the Dragon Man who is said to be the closest of the twelve golden dragons to the Holy Dragon, "The Flaus of the Claws of Darkness."

He loved the Dragon King deeply and usually took the turn of Dragon King Castle.

"That's right! The words of the Dragon King were that no one should pass.Flaus, who admires the Dragon King, will not let this word pass.If you can't go through with it, it will bring down the rumor of the master.I will try to persuade you again, so for today.... "

"... Mr. Odio and Ningen, right?I've heard a lot about the three of you.Congratulations on getting the title of King Dragon. "

Flaus said so with a soft voice and lowered his head.

Me, Pomera, and Philia thanked each other.

"But now the Dragon King says not to let anyone in.Unfortunately, you will not be allowed to visit. "

I took a breath.

The language was polite, but there was an intimidating atmosphere.

"... about that, but I have a psychiatric medicine that works against sick people and curses.I hope you will give it to the Dragon King.And then... I can't say it out loud, but I might actually know someone who cursed the Dragon King.Things may be urgent, please let me see you!

I lowered my head to Flaus.

Flaus stared at me silently for a while, but eventually he made a decision and opened his mouth.

"I see... if that's the case, I'll let you know at my discretion.Thank you, Dragon King. "

Flaus lowers his head quietly.

I thought it was no good, but it seems that my enthusiasm was conveyed.

"Thank you!

"Fu, isn't it a bit difficult to pass through without confirmation from Flaus or the Dragon King!?

Audio panicked and snapped.

"The dragon king seemed strange, and I certainly felt that I was caught.In all disrespect, I suspected from my shallowness that I disliked the challenge from the traveler... but I would be satisfied if I was attacked by some hostile.Besides, if it's the words of the dragon benefactors and Audio-san who recognizes their personality, you can pass them through with confidence.Even though the Dragon King ordered it, I wonder if there is any reason to stop the three of you here without accommodating. "

Flaus returned it to Odio.

"Ah, no, Flaus, I think we should rethink it a little...."

"You seem close, but don't you trust these people?

"Whatever you say, Flaus!The master is a wonderful man!I've lived a long time, and I'm confident in seeing people. "

"Then it won't matter."

Flush quickly returned to Audio, who looked intense.

Flaus signaled with his eyes to follow us and began to walk to the door of the Dragon King Castle.

Audio watched his back for a while as he was dazed, but soon began to chase him in haste.

"Fu, it's Flaus!And this may be a little different!
