Immortal Sage

We were discussing what Vereda's purpose was when we moved back from the ancient realm of Dragon Granos to the base of Halmund.

"What do you mean you can't talk about your purpose?

"You know what a light pull means, Wolf... you know something?

Mark questions Granos' explanation for not getting the guidelines, and Julia questions my failure to break in.

"I guess it's a matter of authority... you want to hear it directly from Lady Gladys"

"" "" "Ha!?

Sizkas give weird voices just when I give the name of Lady Gladys......

Is that it?

When I explained my skills [Daiwei], did I explain that I was blessed directly by Lady Gladys?

"Was it a true story?!?

"What a fool..."

Holly says with a frightened look as she looks at Kodama, who is rounding her eyes and calling her.

"You don't even know why Master Wolfe bothered to transfer the ancient dragon Granos..."

"You think you had any other purpose than to get rid of the predicament?

Sizka reacts to Holly's reason for bluffing.

"Wasn't that... playing?

"'Summon!' That was a no-brainer."

... I hear you, Kagame, Takel.

I don't think they misunderstand us.

"Tell me now without shaking!

"It's quite a hurdle to explain it so even the fool (Mark) can understand it..."

A hurried mark prompts Holly to explain, but with it backwards Holly started playing with the mark.

"Who's the 'idiot', you child (Chinchclin)!!

"Oh? What's wrong with saying" idiot "to someone who doesn't understand the extent to which" Chinchclin "understands?

"You can't go on talking!!

As promised, Julia's pretty...

"I can't believe these people acted like that with deep thoughts..."

"But when we go into battle, we exchange words, but we work together at our best, right?

"Smart 'idiot' is a bad tach..."

Sizka denies Kodama's boyaki, but Canade, who was listening to it, speaks even more rudely.

And it's not Holly who misses that.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Mark's not a smart fool, he's a real fool, right?

"This kid (Holly)!!"

"I'm telling you to stop!!

The three of them exchanged like an earlier re-bake, but Kagame noticed something serious.

"I'm referring to Mr. Mark, but I don't understand that. Didn't you say" idiot "to keep us away?

"... if you say so and see!?

Sizka hits Takel trying to peel him off and join the war.

"If we get together here, that would be the real 'idiot'!!

It looked like Holly was tongue-in-cheek watching Sizka scold Takel...

It's your fault, isn't it?

After enjoying the communication of stability, Holly began to speak seriously.

"Do you really think the ancient dragons with all that power could not detect that for over a thousand years the Veredas were moving with more of their people?

"... that the Divine Dragon has other purposes?

"It may not be Granos. That's why I think he's giving you Lady Gladys' name."

It is likely that Sizka notices Granos' inconsistency in words and deeds in Holly's inquiry, but not Granos' own thoughts.

Explain that.

"Granos, who names [mediator], tells Lady Gladys to ask him directly. As for what Vereda and the others are trying to achieve, it's only natural that we, the [moderators] and [mediators], should take it lightly that Granos is suppressed from being there even more?

"Are you saying that because of that suppression, the dragon did not come directly into contact with the Veredas?

"To be sure, I transferred Granos and forced him to get involved."

Everyone, except me and Holly and Chris, is surprised.

... Was Chris aware of me and Holly's thoughts?

"'Summon!'... you weren't playing."

Kodama......

At last, we're serious, but that's not how you oil the fire!

"That's the premise that Vereda was releasing a spy, isn't it?... It would be easier if Vereda were as simple as Mr. Kodama..."

Look, you jumped on fire!

"It was a restraint for the dragon to show up at any time while hiding the existence of the metastasis."

"A boulder, Mr. Sizka."

Thanks to Sizka's excellent timing, we are likely to be able to proceed without re-derailing the conversation.

Thanks Sizka...

Kodama, you shut up!!
