The Dragon Guided Church has its headquarters in Wang Capital and branches are present in every town in the seven major cities.

I don't think the Church, because it exists in most towns, has anyone in the Dragon Nation who has never seen a Dragon Guided Church cleric.

The doctrine of the Dragon Guide Church lies in worshipping dragons and protecting those who are with them.

Children who have lost their parents by the Moon Warcraft take the initiative and are educated as clerics responsible for the next generation.

And the Dragon Guided Church and the Dragon Practitioner interact through the dragon, becoming familiar with each other in the process.

The sanctuary spoken of by the head of the Rigis Church is the place where the Holy Gate of the Dragon is located.

It refers to the 'entrance where dragons come out into this world' in the valley of dragons.

"I think the general public is off-limits there."

One of the senators said that.

The others are snorting, too.

I only went to the Dragon's Holy Gate once myself.

The second time I turned back before that.

"It seems so. That land, where the Dragon's Holy Gate is located, will not touch the eyes of the people as a sanctuary. We are strictly guarded by dragon jockeys and our priests, and by the soldiers of the king's capital."

The dragon sanctuary is north of the king's capital.

Originally, the dragon people sanctified that place, so there is no one to approach.

So do we dragon jockeys.

And the protection is strict.

Something must not happen, and quite a few soldiers should be on guard.

But I wonder if there was a "shadow" dedicated to protecting the dragon sanctuary.

I've only heard rumors, but apart from the usual (shadow), they have a group that exists independently.

"So did something happen there?"

Everyone has a good question.

The dragon sanctuary is truly an important place for the dragon kingdom.

"We pray in that land. We don't go as far as where the Dragon's Holy Gate is, but if it's to its entrance, many clerics will visit and pray."

The entrance would be the entrance to the Dragon Valley.

In the Dragon Pickup Ritual we go in to the back of it, but usually the cleric turns back in front of it.

"I know that, but I wonder if something's wrong"

"Yes. Would you know if we were Lieutenant Ridolph, we know all about the land? That's the rock out, to every scratch on the ground."

"..."

"I think we have an intruder. I didn't even contact the church, so I was wondering if anyone had noticed yet, and I am informing those who protect the land."

According to the head of the Riggis Church, some of the walls were broken.

Of course, it can be weathered or peeled off by high winds.

But it seems that the head of the church, over the years, found out it wasn't like that.

"Hmm, walls?"

Lieutenant Ridolph did the trick of worrying.

I know it's a shadow, but there's a very difficult sensory junction laid over there.

I noticed it during the Dragon Pickup Ritual, but it was usually so naturally arranged that even a wizard wouldn't notice it.

Perhaps the deputy dragon commander knows about it.

And the fact that some of the walls were peeled means that if there was an intruder, he noticed the presence of the sensing junction and said that he had moved through the walls.

"I told you to keep your security tight. So I am content, and those who guard the Holy Land work hard every day. As a precaution, I'll let you know."

The head of the Riggis Church bowed, so that's where the conversation ended.

Now that all the opinions had been exhausted, the meeting was closed.

As we all left the room, I thought about the last thing.

(Only the Dragon's Holy Gate can bring dragons to this world. If this goes away, the Dragon Nation loses a great advantage. At the same time it becomes impossible to counter the Moon Warcraft. I don't think you want that...)

I want to think the dragon kingdom is well guarded.

Exactly to those who vandalize the sanctuary, they will not forgive.

But there have been times before.

I couldn't help but wipe some anxiety. [M]

After the meeting, I hadn't seen Sirle in a long time.

The intimate meeting place is under a bridge with a large river flowing.

It's dark in here, so it's good to see me hiding.

"Long time no see. How have you been?

"That's quite right. I'd like to confirm a few more things."

"Is it a trend in the merchant countries?

"That's right. Chamber of Commerce moves and Harim, right? And then there's about the Dragon's Holy Gate."

When I said that, your sister wandered a little.

It's dark, so the atmosphere just came through.

"I don't know about the Dragon's Holy Gate. Is something wrong?

"Then can you just tell me what you know first?

"I'm really worried about something."

Looks like your sister just got a little upset.

"That being said, I just heard it today, too, so I don't know the details. I'll talk to you soon after I hear about your sister."

"... ok. First of all, the Chamber of Commerce is shaking. If I thought there was just a rebellion, it would feel like there were more merchants running to opportunism than I thought. The absence of many of the five heads of the club is causing confusion."

"That mess, is it going to fit?

"I can't. It feels like it's going to burn up. A lot of your people are paying attention right now. I'm gathering information from a variety of sources. Maybe we'll split into a few."

I guess this confusion, the Federation of Merchants of the Merchant Country created by Midrey, is working.

I know the neighborhood. The problem is Harim.

"What happened to Harim's trends?

"I haven't found it. I don't think he's in Wang Du."

"Really?

That's not what I expected.

"The merchant that Harim is likely to rely on is what we have eyes on. They have no movement. I don't know if it feels like I'm in a hurry. If that's an act, it's a big deal, but the view is that it's not. And the underground tissue is almost devastated, so there's no movement related that way. If Harim is coming to King's Capital, he'll act alone, but that's just how hard it will be to deceive people's eyes. So it turns out he's not in Wang Du."

"I see. Is that so? Ok. Thank you."

"So I was just talking about it. What happened to the Dragon's Holy Gate?

"The Dragon Guide Church spoke to me at today's meeting."

I told the story of an intruder in the dragon sanctuary.

"... Really? That's crazy."

"There's a shadow on there, too, right?"

"Yeah. The details are so secret that I don't know either. I hear there are good people out there for that."

"That means if there was an intruder..."

"You're going to be a very good man."

My anxiety has increased with your sister's words.
