Reincarnation Monarch

Episode 691: Witnesses

"Are the dragon tears safe..."

Carmis responded to Lombardo's whining.

"I'm fortunate to be unhappy. If the two are not aligned, the Thousand Years Dragon will never activate..."

"... are you sure about that? You can assume it's never gonna happen alone, can you?

Calmis then tried to remember her face in an attempt to trace her own memories.

"... there should be no mistake. At least that's what Lennon said."

"Hmm... but I guess Lennon didn't have a complete grasp on the Thousand Years Dragon either?

Carmis looked anxious at Lombardo's further inquiries.

"... when they say that... I'm confident..."

Then Chester spoke out with a face that seemed surprised from across.

"But even with the dragon's tears, control didn't work, did it? Then were dragon tears necessary in the first place?

Calmis then argued resolutely against this.

"It was definitely due to dragon tears when it came to activation. That's for sure."

"Why can you say all that?

Then Calmis glanced at Chester's question and answered with confidence.

"For as soon as I poured magic into the tears of a dragon, I turned into a dragon for a thousand years!

"I see... then at least it sounds like a dragon's tear is a must for activation, right?

Lombardo asked Chester with a convincing look.

But Shester still didn't break his surprised face.

"... probably..."

"Yeah? Still not convinced?

Lombardo asked Shester unexpectedly.

"No, that's not what I'm saying... there's just something caught up in nothing..."

Shester frowned when he said so, putting his arms together and thinking for a while.

But when he opened his mouth again, he looked refreshed as if he had stepped on it.

"No, I offered something confusing without any definite argument. I'm sorry. Please, I want you to forget about this."

"... Hmm. Okay. So you can conclude that dragon tears are a must for a thousand years of dragon activation?

"Yes. Fine."

"Ok, so for now, as long as the Thousand Years Dragon will not be activated, it's a future measure..."

Shester answered Lombardo's query.

"Yes, but I'd like to confirm one thing before..."

Shester turned to Dulm when he said so.

"Darm, when you bring a thousand years of dragons into this house, did you avoid the eyes?

Then Dalm answered with a puzzled look.

"... yes, no, I put him on my back so far... so I thought it was quite remarkable..."

"I see. Then again, it seems right for the enemy to gather the testimony of the witnesses to get there."

Lombardo nodded at Shester's view.

"Then, on the contrary, it might be possible to find witnesses at that time and trace them back to the enemy... but it's going to take a lot of time..."

When Lombardo said so with his face up, he suddenly uttered a voice like Carmis had decided to.

"Wait a minute! Before you adopt that method, there's something I'd like to try!
