"Lord Norma. What are you talking about?

"Lord. When me and Edda were in medical care, Mr. Zach was talking all the time."

"Oh, I see you do"

"I wrote down the contents of the rumor. I told Edda to write it down."

"Hmm?"

"When I gathered words that were just fragments, I saw something quite daunting. Even so, it's a rumor that makes the words hard to hear in the first place, has a lot of unintelligible points, and has no context, so you can't do it, such as creep out proper information from it. Even if you meant to be heard, you'd be wrong to hear it. It may also be a mixture of untrue assumptions and hallucinations."

"You wear a lot of clothes. What the hell did he say?

"I'm going to give you a fragment of that information now. Eda."

"Yes?"

"If there's anything I can tell you about what you've heard and what you're not eating, can you tell me?"

"Yeah. Okay."

"First Mr. Zach said, no, maybe the Zykers knew where the Grounddragon Tron was"

"What!"

"There were rumors like your grandfather discovered Tron, so maybe it was the two generations before the Zykers who discovered him. Supposedly it's been turning out for about fifty years. When it comes to the name Tron, it's about the ground dragon Tron."

"No way. He said it was the Ground Dragon Tron"

"And I wonder if Mr. Zach planned to crusade the Ground Dragon Tron. No, maybe he prepared it for three generations."

"Ground Dragon Tron Crusade."

"Mr. Zach seems to have made something called Ryumetsken. Does it mean a sword that destroys dragons? Maybe over the years."

"You think it's a dragon exterminator sword? Hmm. Let's find out. So?"

But Tron's gone missing.

"Hmm?"

"Mr. Zach followed Tron's whereabouts like that's what drove him crazy. Looks like they've sent out a number of investigation teams."

"I hear that a dragon can't move from where it once lived. Is something wrong?"

"I don't know. Anyway, a number of investigation teams were dispatched. Probably over the years."

"So what happened?"

"I forgot to tell you, it seemed like the Grounddragon Tron was in the Great Forest"

"Hmm? From Coggles to the Great Forest, there's a lot of distance though. Fine. So what happened?

"I'm not sure how it connects to the Tron thing, but I think Mr. Zach discovered something like an ancient temple in the Great Forest"

"Ancient Temple?

"Yes, maybe that's the knowledge the Zykers have had for a long time, apart from the Tron thing."

I don't think so.

"Edda. I wonder what's wrong"

"He said I found him. I think that's why Mr. Zach found it."

"Oh, you did. You mean the ancient temple that I found? Right. That's right. Thank you, Edda."

"Eh heh heh"

"So what happened to that ancient temple?"

"It looks like there was a treasure of immense magnitude. Mr. Zach left it for me. It was probably seventeen years ago. The therapist, Lord Aterna, had a clear idea that the starting point of the curse was seventeen years ago. In other words, Lord Aterna thought that the curse of the ancient temple had overwhelmed Master Zach."

"Oh, my God. Really? Really?"

"What's wrong, lord?"

"It was a mystery. He's too rich. We should be doing a lot of things here and there, and sometimes failing and suffering from hand pains, but the activity is increasingly broadening our hands, as opposed to getting smaller. I wondered where the hell there was that kind of money."

"Is that a long time ago?

"No. It's been over a decade."

"I see."

"Is that all you're saying about information?

"Right. And, speaking of being strong, that means that Mr. Zach cares enough to repeat things like what I just said in rhetoric. You were blamed by memory."

"Hmm. Interesting. But is it the Grounddragon Tron nonetheless? I didn't think so, but is Zach's one really thinking about breaking away from the kingdom of Zaka?

"What does that mean?

"Ha. Don't you know this even from Lord Norma of Knowledge? The Ground Dragon Tron is called the Rich Dragon, and the area where the Tron lived thrives."

"Yes, I know that alias"

"So do you know that this kingdom of Zaka was launched on the carcass of the Grounddragon Tron?

"Eh."

"The founding king defeated Tron, the place is said to be Finkel, the current king's capital."

"Did you?"

"The kingdom of Marr was originally inhabited by the Grounddragon Tron."

"Does Mr. Zach think that if you defeat Tron, you can create a kingdom?

"A little bit different. Once you defeat Tron and get that demonic stone, it means you can have a great name independent of the kingdom of Zaka. The carcass of Tron will increase the chances of independence for the people."

"Oh, I see"

"Originally Coggles was an independent territory that had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Zaka. It is very late to be integrated into the kingdom of Zaka. Anyone in this neighborhood knows that that's where they hate King's Capital interference. But right. Tron. I see."

"Um, okay?

"Sure. What is it?

"Do I have to be a tron to build a country? Besides, there was a dragon who knew where he was, right?

"Oh. Wang Long Atlasia and Fei Long Rude are in our country and their place is clear. There are no humans nearby."

"Can't you be that dragon?

"Somehow, of the six special dragons, only Tron is considered a symbol of statehood. Not all countries are supposed to be able to do it after they defeat Tron."

"Six special dragons, is it?

"Ground dragon ogut. Grounddragon Imam. Ground dragon tron. Fei Long Yog. Feilongkodan. Flying dragon rude. These six species of dragons are said to emerge only one individual in one age. There's a painting at the entrance to this building."

"What? Did you?"

"Ha. You didn't realize I'd been here so many times?

"Is that it? Didn't you just have a dragon named Atora somehow?

"Wang Long Atlasia? This is not a dragon species special individual, it's a god beast."

"Shinju?"

"It means the beast of God. I don't know if it's true, but it seems the beast speaks the language of men."

"Yeah. Eh. Even though it's a beast?

"Ha. I don't really know. Even for Wang Long Atlasia, the giant figure is sometimes witnessed from afar, so I really do, but I don't think he speaks human language."

"A dragon. Ah. You must be strong."

"The army of the country, which was there before the kingdom of Zaka could be done, is told that it was destroyed by the Grounddragon Tron. If Zach had fought Tron, he might have wiped out Coggles by now."

"Lecan would win"

Edda said unfounded.

"Ugh, ha, ha, ha. Right. If there were about a hundred Lekans, we might be able to win. Ha-ha-ha."

"Lord."

Said Norma in a slightly different sounding voice.

"Yeah?"

"This time, the lord has helped to treat Mr. Zach. I was thrilled with the breadth of the Lord's measure."

"That's right! He's really an enemy, but when the treatment was successful, he was applauding. That was cool."

"That's strange even for me. But when I found out the treatment was successful, I was impressed. Now that I think about it, it was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to kill him. No, it's not a good idea to kill him in this town, but I should have pointed the assassin at him on the way home. What do you do?"

"I don't think I could have"

"What? What are you talking about?

"Those eight guards, they were tremendously strong"

"I was wondering if you could help me."

"Anyone who fights you will be killed."

"What? Ninae, are you the labyrinth trespasser?

"Such a person is always a tight escort in pairs. I was scared, scared, and tingly."

"Does that mean I'm happy I didn't get killed?"

"Right."
