Dragon Town

Side: rya

"Hi, welcome. To the town of dragons."

It was the lightly equipped gatekeeper who said so and welcomed me.

Probably a private soldier in this town.

But......

"Hey, I need to ask you something."

"Yes. What is it?

"No, I don't even know if it's an extra favor, but is that light gear okay?

Maub seemed to wonder just like me, and asked about the gear.

"Hmm? Yeah, leather gear has to be easier to move in this town than iron armor or anything. There is no demonic damage here first, because there are more crimes committed by people. Even so, it's like eating away or stealing away."

That's more leather armor than iron armor if you're definitely going after people.

But that's not the problem.

"You're not coming at all for demons or anything? I hear the demons around here are powerful?

"Oh, are you new here, adventurers?

"Yes, this time the Adventurer's Guild calls me."

"Heh. That's pretty awesome that they called me."

"Well, quite. So, I'm sorry. It's about demons."

"Oh, excuse me. Powerful demons can only be found at the foot of Dragon Mountain or in the middle of the belly. So, you're scared the dragons are living in, and the usual demons don't come near the area."

"I see. So there's no demons in the woods you can see over there, either?

"Yeah. I mean, you're scared of dragons, and you don't even have big animals like deer, boars, and bears. It's about small animals and birds you're in. Thanks to you, I've been having a hard time securing meat here. But I haven't had a lot of trouble with the car coming in lately and the meat arrives before it rots."

Do you mean, literally, this town is protected by dragons?

Well, I don't know how true that is.

This gatekeeper tells me that he believes in it.

"Right. No, I'm glad you talked a lot about it. So, can I come in?

"Yes. I checked your ID, too. Once again, welcome to the town of dragons. Have fun."

So we set foot in the town of dragons...

"Brother. How about this dragon wood sculpture? You'd love a souvenir for your kids, wouldn't you? I recommend this dragon brooch to your wife!

"No, no, this painting if it's a souvenir!! It's a thankful painting where the clouds hanging on Dragon Mountain captured a clear moment! I'm a little overpriced, but I'm sure there's some protection for you!

"Inn is good for this Dragon Inn! In the righteous Inn, which has been around for a long time, the protection of dragons..."

Such merchant soul merchants gathered with straw to welcome us.

"Something resembles Weed's market."

"... oh, I thought it looked something like Weed's market"

"Indeed, it's different in size, but you have the same vibrancy here as Weed's market. It's all about dragons, though."

"It seems that this town is believed to be made up of dragon protection, as the gatekeeper said earlier, so I guess that means it's connected to business. You bet, Princess Lowell."

That's what Zargis shook and his gaze gathered on Princess Lowell......

"I'm not sure about the economy or anything! But it's good to be so busy."

……

A boulder, Princess Sharr, or Princess Sheila is just a brain muscle.

Or is it so grand, so clear?

"... in the meantime, show your face to the Adventurer Guild"

"Yeah. That would be good. Grandmaster and Lord Milly are also contacting us."

That's the one who relies on Princess Lowell for anything but strength, so honestly, we're headed for the Adventurer's Guild.

Oh, by the way, Princess Lowell and Princess Sharr have never been particularly noisy because they dress like adventurers so they can't be called princesses at first glance.

Especially since Princess Lowell, like Queen Cellaria, is a general who makes it a good idea to lead and fight soldiers on the front line, or he walks in a rather natural way, without making an otherwise unpleasant face to adventurer-style crude equipment.

"Hey, nice. This outfit.... I remember when I was out of the castle playing adventurer."

……

I think I heard something huge, but let's just pretend I didn't hear it.

It's the kind of thing you should never get into.

We were unanimous in our opinion that we knew nothing, and we snorted at each other.

So, while I'm doing that, I get to the Adventurer Guild......

"Welcome to the Adventurer Alliance of Dragon Mountain. Request...... isn't it? The adventurer means have you been carrying any luggage?

That's what the receptionist who welcomed me said and had his neck clenched.

"No, it's not a luggage hauling job. I know it's coming, but I'm here on a request from the Grandmaster, it's a mob."

"Maub? Maub!? No way! That decent...... mochi!?

It was going to make a scene, so I held the receptionist's mouth down.

"Calm down. I don't want to make a scene. Do you understand?"

When I say that, the receptionist nods, sees where he calms down and hands off.

"I'm sorry. This request is a little cumbersome."

"No, I was a detour, too. Okay, hold on a second. I'm here to tell you that you're here."

"Please."

With that said, the receptionist never ran out and left to the back.

You're surprisingly calm. I thought I was going to run exactly......

I hope so.

"But to this point, I didn't know anyone knew our names."

"Oh, you surprise me"

"It's unusual here to have little interaction with other places."

Talking about that, Lowell joins the story.

"It's not unusual. Your brave names are blowing up all over the country."

"I'm wondering why you're blowing that far."

"That's because we advertised it. If I didn't call you heroes, what the hell would the country be doing?"

……

Is that what you mean?

So even a town like this in Dragon Mountain knows our name?

Thinking so, the receptionist is back...

"No, Master Lowell, it's not just Galtz. It's a great honor to have an adventurer who has accomplished great things as an Adventurer's Guild."

"Thank you for waiting. This is the guild leader of the Dragon Mountain Town Adventurer Alliance…"

"My name is Sevier"

He's the guild leader who has introduced himself with a smile...

"Heh. Rare, female guild leader"

Yes. As Morb put it, the guild leader was a woman.

"Oh, is there something wrong with a woman like me being the guild leader? Soara, the guild leader in the town of Asteri, who pushed the demon invasion, is a woman, too?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be. It was simply unusual. A woman, I suppose, but a strong man is very strong. That's all."

Maub continues the conversation with a gentle flush of Sevier's provocation.

These are the more adventurers there are.

Either way, I'm angry, but I'm not kidding.

"The boulders are heroes, Lord Maub, aren't they? Wouldn't you like to ride with this degree of provocation"

"After all, if you're a woman, do you have a lot of strong wind?

"Right. Unfortunately, there are many of them."

The guild leader also fixes the tone immediately, shrugging his shoulders all the time telling him to do it.

Seems like a lot of hard work everywhere.

"And my stupidity will be good. I'm sorry I did something to try. Okay, let's talk more in the upper room."

So we were supposed to talk upstairs in the guild manager's office.

"Once again, then, welcome to the town of Dragon Mountain. You're probably quite surprised at what's going on in this city."

"Oh, I didn't think you were doing so much business with Dragon Mountain as a story"

"Anyway, it's the main industry. We can literally say that this town benefits from dragons, blessings."

That being said, the Sevier Guild chief opened the window, and there was a long way to go, but a dragon mountain was clearly visible.

"It is because of that mountain, where dragons live, that this town is able to live without being attacked by demons. And the people in town believe it."

"Do you believe that? So the guild leader thinks differently."

"Yeah. I'm from outside too, so I know it's weird how you think here. But even if you deny it, you're just buying the town's repudiation."

I'm sure you do.

This kind of faith that is unique to the land is quite deeply rooted.

If you deny it, it could lead to death.

"I got the story. All right, that's it for the chat, let's get down to business. I believe the Grand Master has contacted us, but we are on our way to investigate Dragon Mountain. I would like some information for that reason. Anything?

Maub cuts the gossip and cuts to the point.

Well, what kind of information comes out?

Staring at Chief Sevier Guild with that in mind, she finally opens her mouth after a brief silence.

"Let's be honest. Suffice it to say, even the Adventurer Alliance has no information."

"It won't mean there's no boulder at all"

"All I have is what is really commonly known. More importantly, this guild has no adventurous work of the kind that adventurers receive in the first place. The founding purpose here in the first place is the guild to monitor adventurers from going any further. He told me not to go to Dragon Mountain by giving him a proper shipping assignment and letting him go."

"Speaking of which, instead of demons in the woods, were there not even large wildlife?"

"Yes. So there is no demonic exorcism here in the first place that is the main job for adventurers. There's just a little beast control in towns and villages, luggage carriage, well, chores."

"Right, but I hear there are a variety of scratchy items in and around Dragon Mountain?

Yes, as Morb says, there are rumors that Dragon Mountain not only has dragons and powerful demons, but it also has treasures commensurate with its peril to head there.

Some adventurers come for it, so there's no way the Adventurer Guild wouldn't know about it.

"Sure, it's not like there's no stuff headed for Dragon Mountain without taking the advice of us or the people in town. But the majority of that didn't go back, and the only thing I got back from that adventure was some good quality herbs and ore. Perhaps the treasure rumor is that the story is out in excess"

"You've done some searching from the Adventurer Alliance to find the Unreturned, haven't you?

"Yes, but it became a policy to stay away from Dragon Mountain when that search party, which gathered high-level adventurers, was attacked by extremely powerful demons, demons that I had never seen, and came back half-baked. Almost everyone who even came back to see the identity of the demon that showed up can hardly even see it, anything in a state of loss of heart to so much fear..."

I see.

Really, do you mean that powerful demons exist?

But isn't this going to give us a lot of information?

If you think so, Zargis opens his mouth......

"Excuse me. Can I ask you a question, too?

"Yes. What is it?

"I know it's a very dangerous place to listen to what I've been saying. No matter how many heroes there are, is it okay for Lord Maub and us to step in?

"As far as I'm concerned, this time it's also an instruction from the Grand Master, and on top of that, there's Princess Lowell. I'm hoping you can probably come back no matter what. I hope this will solve some of the mysteries of Dragon Mountain and its neighborhoods."

At least, do you mean that the Sevier Guild chief is cooperative in the investigation?

Well, they're tasked with this place, so you'll want some information on the threat.

"I see. So you're saying that the Adventurer Guild here will cooperate in this investigation."

"Yes, but I don't think the residents will go that way. So we can't send you out to Dragon Mountain in a grand way, so you should sneak out at night."

Thus, we finished gathering information in the Adventurer Alliance and joined the leading Tories.
