"Look, he told me to fix my mood.... what?
Even when I heard Ray say that, he was usually a quick laughing vihella, but now that's not the case.
That's all, I guess the silver scale dragonias we fought this time were unexpected.
Because it had the same appearance as the individual I fought last time, because in this case, it probably affects me.
That's why I can enjoy this fight the same way last time.
That's what I thought, but I wasn't responding.
... In fact, it was still only silver scaled dragonias and stronger than normal dragonias.
Still, sometimes it was weaker than the person I assumed, or it was something I couldn't help complaining about.
In response to such a vihella, Ray thinks a little...... eventually opens his mouth.
"Why don't you think about it? This time the dragonias of silver scales is a matter of individual differences, and I'm pretty sure they weren't so powerful enemies. But that would mean that maybe other silver scales of dragonias might be stronger than the individuals we fought last time"
"Well, maybe it is."
I guess it was unexpected for Vihella that the individual difference was so great.
That's why it was also true that if you were told that there might be a powerful silver scale dragonias in a similar individual, there would be a point where you would honestly convince yourself of the word.
Ray speaks words to Vihera to make her look just a little calmer that way.
"I seem to have forgotten that, but if we go back to the camp, Dolphina and the other scouts who saw these guys will be sharing the information. I don't know if it will work that way, but in some cases..."
"We may find the enemy's home base"
That's what Vihella tells Ray to take over the words.
Vihera smiles with joy, as if the grumpy appearance of a while ago were a lie.
The way it looked had just the charm of attracting people, even from Ray's eyes.
… although not many people can know the meaning of the charm in detail.
"That's a good chance. It's just that they're based in the same direction."
How the hell did the dragonias of the silver scales defeated by Vihela come this far?
Depending on the information around it, there is no possibility that the direction in which the enemy is based is actually completely different...
Given the character of Dragonias, I don't think he cares that much.
Still, in case you think about it, you'll be somewhat on alert.
Just in case, really, we can't deny the possibility that this action is a trap to attract us.
If Dragonius were to think that far and set a trap, Ray would be honestly subtle.
"Right. So it's time to get back to base."
"No, it's a camp to return to."
That's how Ray penetrates the words out of Vihera's mouth.
I wonder how much the hell you're looking forward to heading to the home of Dragonias.
That would mean that the silver scale dragonias we fought earlier were so unexpected.
"Right. It was a camp. Then let's go early."
"Before you do that, you need to do something about this body. As for securing the body of the silver scaly dragonias that Vihella defeated for now... otherwise it would be troublesome to collect, and you should burn them all"
Many dragonias are pierced or burned to death by fire arrows.
Beyond that, even if you do things like collect a body and store it in a mysterious way, that body is likely useless.
(If you're a curious bunch of people, starting with an alchemist, that's what these corpses can do, so you might say you want a lot of numbers)
Though I think so, there are many more problems than becoming useless overnight.
Specifically, it feels like we need to continue to provide corpses that Ray makes use of every day.
Alchemists that Ray knows...... specifically if they are alchemists who magically process trees that have been felled in Trento Forest, that's what they will demand every day to get Dragonias' body out.
As for Ray, it was honest that he didn't want to go along with such an act.
If the corpse is useless, collect the corpse depending on the allowance and put it away.
"Anyway, if we leave the body like this, it could be undead, and we'll just clean it up"
With that word, I guess Vihera also understood what Ray was trying to do.
Open your mouth with a worried look.
"Is there no problem with magic?
Ray specializes in the attributes of fire, but therefore drains a lot of magic if he uses magic that purifies the body.
I guess Vihera worried because she knows that.
But Ray nods that he has no problem with it.
"I've been using this magic quite a bit lately. I'm getting used to it. … but the magic consumption remains the same."
Precisely, you would be more correct in the expression that you have become accustomed to consuming a lot more magic than you need.
Especially since the magic of being away from the flames than purification, the "Heavenly Wheel of the Horn", has often been used to training, I was accustomed to the act of draining extra magic.
Understand that Ray is not talking about such things in a strong way, but genuinely thinks there is really no problem, and that Vihella would be relieved too.
Relieve...... open your mouth like I thought.
"It's Dragonias' sphere of influence around here, and it's Dragonias, not Centaur, who gets attacked even when he's undead, isn't it? Then you can do things like reduce the enemy's power... Ningro, I feel like we should make it undead."
"... I see"
Vihera's opinion was unexpected for Ray as well.
Instead of making it undead, I dare to undead it here to reduce the power of Dragonias.
That also seems like an effective strategy at first glance... but in the end Ray shakes his neck sideways.
"No, let's stop it. We're here to destroy Dragonias' home base. For, not so far away, this neighborhood will be a force zone for Centaur. When that happens, the undead of Dragonias is only a troublesome being"
There is also one case of Anastasia and Fana, besides the reasons I have spoken.
It's less likely that there are two Anastasias and Fanas around here than there has been quite a bit of time since we left the Damran settlement.
But... if Dragonias' body goes undead here, there's a good chance that something will happen in case Anastasia and the others come back around here.
More than that, as Ray, I couldn't think of riding Vihera's suggestion here.
... In the first place, undead doesn't always happen.
In some cases, it may not be undead, and it can also mean that the corpse rots, weathers and disappears as it is.
It's easier to calculate if you think about the future, rather than trying to be undead, because it's purified here and not completely undead.
Other than that, if we tried the Centaurs, where settlements exist more around here than the Zays, starting with the dam run, it could have been undead, but there was a good chance of dissatisfaction if we said we threw it out.
"Really? Well, if Ray says so, I don't mind. I simply said it because I thought of it."
Vihera also didn't say that with the will that it should definitely be done, she simply said it because it seemed better that way.
Ray knew that, too, so he had Death Size in his hand and cast a spell with nothing particularly to go into against it.
"Oh, I see it. … or apparently arrived as much as the Dolphinas"
Ray turns his gaze to the ground to the voice of Vihera grasping at Seto's forefoot.
Is it because there is a vihela, or has Seto's sense of direction been modified, or is it really a product of coincidence?
Ray didn't know why, but he didn't get lost, and he arrived in the camp from where he fought the dragonias of silver scales.
And even in the middle of the camp, in places that were like squares for various purposes, there were the Dolphinas.
As Vihella said, hasn't that been the case since we came back to this camp, and there are many centaurs around it?
Naturally, some of them looked like Zai, and Ray looked like he was talking to Dolphina about something.
"Seto"
"Gru!"
When Ray says a word, Seto descends straight to the ground, even if Ray doesn't tell him exactly what he wants him to do.
Naturally, Centaurs and the others stand on guard around the camp.
With his death-size terrain manipulation skills, the camp was surrounded by simple walls, and the number of watches was sufficient.
As for Ray, I would have liked to have been more defensive if I could, but that's what I waited for from the Centaur side, but it took a while.
Either way, some of those lookouts find Seto flying over and make a scene.
Hearing such a noise, Seto goes down to earth.
Naturally, we get off Seto first...... no, it is Vihella who lets go of his hand, sometimes at much lower altitudes, and lands on the ground at risk.
Then Seto gently rises altitude and then descends to the ground again.
This is also Seto who, naturally, lands on the ground without any danger.
"Apparently you weren't that late"
That's what Zai asks with surprise to Ray, who gets off Seto's back and tells him.
"Didn't I delay? Dolphina told me you were fighting a group led by Dragonias of Silver Scales?
"Oh, here it is"
Deciding he would rather show it directly than explain something to himself, Ray removes the body of the silver scaly dragonias from the mistering.
Takeshi.
And as soon as they saw it, they were all around them.
Naturally. If you try to be a vihela, it was an unexpected opponent, because Centaur fights in more than one and finally he's a dragonias, one of the top races.
"As you can see. In the meantime, the moving silver scales of Dragonias were defeated. Naturally, not a single survivor.... So, have you heard from the Dolphinas?
"Oh. If you tie this silver scale dragonias and the places you encounter in one line, you'll be talking about having the home of Dragonias ahead of you. We're currently gathering information around it."
Ray nods at the words.
It hasn't been that long since I actually set out as a reconnaissance unit.
However, thanks to various things, it felt like a good amount of time had passed as a physical time.
Also, if there is any less danger to Anastasia and Fana, the option of not annihilating the home of Dragonias here does not exist in Ray.
I look at Dolphina with that in mind...... where I talk to Centaur, who first brought the information that the dragonias of the silver scales were leading a group of dragonias on the move...... instead of looking at Dolphina with intrigue towards me.
It's also important to try and dolphina out the home of Dragonias, but more than that, you wondered what magic Ray used to exterminate the group led by Dragonias the Silver Scale.
As a wizard, he's a dolphina with a strong interest in the magic Ray uses.
Even in this case, I couldn't be more interested in Ray's magic.
... In fact, the magic I used this time has been used quite a few times before, and I also used it the last time I raided Dragonias stronghold, so if you ask the Centaur I was watching at that time, I'll know soon enough.
Most importantly, Dolphina had not been out of the settlement for reconnaissance at that time, and most importantly, it was natural to think that we should actually hear from Ray, who used magic, rather than from Centaur, who is not familiar with magic.
"In the meantime, mix information!
Yes, Ray told me, Dolphina reluctantly shifted her gaze from Ray.
