After Linda and I broke up, I decided to take a stroll around town with Blah Blah and then head back to the dorm.
There's no reason to take it apart, but it's been a long time since I've been in King's Capital, so I was just wondering if I'd take my time walking.
"... hmm?
I stopped when I felt signs behind my back for just a moment.
I feel so invited.
I proceeded all over town trying to follow signs that I would stay away.
I walked into a narrow alley and the signs stopped moving.
What I've been waiting for is Hiff. It is headed by Her Majesty the Queen's Left Hand.
Unlike my usual black clothes, I dress as an old man everywhere.
Hiff checks in on me and whispers softly.
"I'd like to talk to you about a loyal legion."
"... ok"
"Tonight, at the clock tower mansion behind the royal castle"
That's all I said, Hiff disappeared and walked away.
"Clock tower mansion."
It's an old stone building with a sense of history.
Of course I've never been inside.
If you change in the dorm, why don't you go quickly?
I went back to the dorm there for a walk.
I came in front of the clock tower mansion.
Before I went inside, I organized in my head about the Legion of Faithfulness (Royal Legion).
They are a different group from Her Majesty's The Shadow and the dragon jockeys.
He is unidentified and has vowed allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen personally.
Honestly, I don't see the difference between "shadow" and "shadow."
My father didn't tell me anything.
"... well, can I ask the person directly"
I feel my gaze already. I guess they're watching from the top of the tower.
Just a glance and I went inside the mansion.
Now what kind of people are there?
The mansion is dim and the candle flames follow to the back.
Proceeding along it, there was a staircase.
He said to go up.
The candle led me to the big room.
It is a chapel dedicated to dragons. Speaking of which, was this the property of the Dragon Guide Church?
"Welcome. The birth of a new comrade."
My voice sounded like it was coming through a lot. Isn't it a secret gathering?
"Thank you for inviting us"
I don't know if it's polite, but I didn't name it.
"I am the head of the Church of the Dragon Leader, my name is Geithun"
"I go to the Dragon College, I say Leon"
"Comrade Leon, please come this way. Let me introduce you to the people who gathered here today."
A dozen people are behind the chapel. That seemed to be all the loyal legions (Royal Legion) gathered today.
Many of them seem to be from the Dragon Guided Church.
Do you think that's what the upper ecclesiastical hierarchy of Dragon Nation does in the first place?
I had no idea.
"Did you know that it's a dragon country management meeting that brings together representatives from this country?
I shook my head to the side. Because I was in a local city, I have no idea about politics.
"It's made up of sixty one people, who come together once a month to discuss this country's policies"
It was my first ear, but just like a church person, the explanation was concise and easy to understand.
It seems that thirty of the sixty-first will be occupied by people from the Dragon Nation Congress.
The Dragon Nation Congress knows to boulders. The politicians of this country.
Ten aristocrats, locals and councillors have been elected from among the Dragon Nation Parliaments, and with their thirty members, they are elected to the Dragon Nation Management Council.
"There are ten other participants from the Dragon Club."
It's the Dragon Club that I'm going to be in. [M]
Central and regional dragon squads exist, with the chief dragon (yes, Ryu) as the culmination.
The Regional Dragon Squad is stationed in every town and also in my town of Saul.
There are other reserve dragon squads who retired from active duty, or if I get a dragon in six months, they will automatically be assigned to the apprentice dragon squad.
Together, these are called Dragon Clubs.
"The rest are to be elected from the Dragon National Army subcommittee and the Dragon Guide Church by ten. And His Majesty the Queen will be one hundred and sixty-one."
The Dragon National Army subcommittee is owned by ordinary soldiers who do not have dragons.
It consists of the Prohibited Army (Kingu), the Right Army (Ugu) and the Left Army (Sagu), with some of the two armies, with the exception of the Prohibited Army, in charge of the defense of the province.
Aside from the difficulty, they say it's the Dragon Nation Management Council that brings together representatives from those positions to discuss it.
"Our Church is one task to help Her Majesty in the shadows at the Dragon Nation Operations Council"
Mr. Geithung speaks politely not only because of his personality, but also because within this loyal legion (Royal Legion), he intends to respect each other, never dispute, destroy individuals and serve His Majesty the Queen.
Speaking of which, I remembered that Hiff of the Left Hand was only a polite talker when it came to this matter.
The members of the loyal legion (Royal Legion) appear to be common to churches and aristocrats.
On the other hand, you think there are few dragon clubs and locals?
Will Her Majesty's Shadow work down, and an army of loyalists (Royal Legion) work up?
I think it's a little different.
"Some comrades have dragon jockeys."
Mr. Geithung explained, laughing.
The chances of dragon prints appearing on the dragon jockey child are quite high.
If an official of a loyal legion (Royal Legion) finds it first, his presence may be secret and he may be educated to become part of a loyal legion (Royal Legion).
Generations of dragon jockeys, etc. are often in that position in towns, so they can come into contact before they touch the eyes of the general public.
Hundreds of dragon jockeys gathered that way.
It is a very large number.
"That's what it was like to have more dragon jockeys than nominally."
"Yes. At the end of the Dragon Pickup ritual, you will be banned from entering the Dragon Valley (Ryukaikoku). The same goes for the Dragon's Holy Gate. At that time, we will perform a dragon reception ritual."
A dragon jockey thus gathered, but he says it is kept warm as a trump card when it comes to war with other countries.
Speaking of which, the moving-country driven infantry was also a performance beyond imagination.
Yeah, and underestimate the power of your own country, and if something happens, you'll manifest that nature.
If we do know the total number of dragons, we'll have a formation that can beat it.
If you attack me in numbers that can beat two thousand, if you align more dragons than that, you will be able to destroy them.
"Well, let's get down to business"
Mr. Geithung said that without breaking his grinning face.
