■Night one hundred seventy-eight: Why are we only born and fallen?



“What have we been born for,” Smaugard said.

The dragon princess murmured as if hugged.

Urd's story continues.

Ashlee heard the words as she ran.

Originally, I should have sat down and listened to it in a calm place.

But Ashlee didn't have time.

Precisely because Snow doesn't have the time, it's the same thing.

So I ran.

Rushing.

I hear it while doing it.

“What are you born for?”

"Isn't that weird? If we don't know what other species are, we're the dragons? He was born in this world, having been appointed king. And the man that beareth the name of the king among the dragons asked him, What is it for? Isn't that funny? I laughed too, when I first heard that line from my mouth."

In response to the human knight's inquiry, the dragon princess smiled.

The tears had already stopped, but that arrogance had disappeared from his tone.

I call not upon myself, but upon myself.

Or was this Urdo's true temperament?

"At first, I thought something was really wrong. Then I realized that I was scared. After all, that man made such a fuss when I challenged him to fight for my own territory. It's the First World War."

"Bet on the territory..." First World War? "

"When we fight for what the dragon wants, we justly declare war and fight in a single fight." The side that defeats the opponent and makes him recognize his own strength gains it. This is called a battle. And even though this is more important than anything... there's no way we can kill each other. "

Ashlee opened her eyes to the first time she heard about the dragons' ecology.

What? The Urdo raised one eyebrow, looking a little stunned.

Did you really think we were an arrogant and brutal race that would kill our opponents and take everything away?

"No... uh... I'm sorry to be honest. I always thought that was the case. Isn't that right?"

"Of course not. We respect all the blood of the dragons." Even so, there are only a few real dragons in the world. Probably just as many troops left on one side of the chess game. Originally a rare species, the numbers are devastating in all seasons. There is a surplus on the fingers of both hands, but not enough for two rounds. In other words, it's very little. And we don't just want each other to be less than a true king, we don't want the seeds to be extinguished. "

Urdo's words made Ashlee feel like she was being poked in the chest.

Certainly, there was someone who thought that the dragons were more noble and ruthless creatures.

A tyrant incarnate who is rough, rough, and does not── consider the existence of others.

But in reality, Urdo says it's different.

Ashlee felt that the way in which the dragon clans fought the demands of each other first, and only the king fought, was at the extreme of refinement as a potash for the struggle for the existence of the territory and the opponent.

"In other words... if you find a way to compromise with each other's demands, you can bet on it and play a one-player match." Demonstrate each other's strengths so that the Knights compete against each other in the Horseback Competition (Tournament). Is that your dragon battle? "

"I'm not sure about your metaphor, but it's pretty close." I'm serious about the game. I also use the breath (brace) because they hurt each other by loosening their nails. Sometimes it causes deep wounds. Few dragons would admit defeat before they were deeply wounded. It doesn't change that it's a risk to your life. "

Ashlee imagined Urdo's battle for his life against the backdrop of last night's experience.

"I see, that's it." I admit that horseback competitions (tournaments) between our knights are not as dangerous as games, but they are not comparable to those of your dragons. "

“Be honest, we're not betting on any prizes or trophies. Because when you are in your own territory or territory, you are pure."

If you keep quiet, Urdo is a beautiful princess.

Ashlee was amazed at the statement that she would bet on the purity that jumped out of her mouth.

Huh?

"What are you, you really didn't know until now?" It makes sense... That Ashleigh Dow, our dragon race decides the whereabouts of their love route in a proud one-way fight. Unlike the territory, there is a special arrangement that must be preceded by three. After all, you throw out your dignity, pride, and honor, and allow yourself to surrender and conquer, both physically and mentally, and agree to give your opponent seeds and wear children. "

Well, then, is it true that the dragon's love builds strength?

"Are you kidding me?" Of course, a man who is less powerful than himself can manipulate, but there is no maiden who can forgive his heart. Isn't that right? "

In response to an affirmative question from Urd, Ashlee blinded her eyes.

It was only natural that a different race would change the outlook on love.

Speaking of which, I feel that somehow Izuma and the Earth Spiders said that sleeping with their lovers and wives was their supreme love.

That is also necessary in a society of spiders, where relatives and siblings get married a lot and the blood tends to thicken. Yo, Izuma was lying.

"Well, it's not so easy to get ahead of the three. Each Dragon has a mighty [Chiral], and battles of this kind are often fought at intervals of ten years. Attempting to crush the opponent's wounds where they haven't healed is considered the worst thing to do. Besides, I hope that rivals will emerge from the side before the three of them are decided, and it will be an introverted story."

Especially in the case of a strong, proud and beautiful-looking maiden who became the subject of controversy.

"Strong, proud, beautiful-looking..."

Ashlee accidentally peered into Urdo's face.

"Don't be so blatant," Urdo laughed impatiently.

"Indeed, I was very popular." It was an inexplicable courtship. In other words, you were signed up for a duel. "

I kicked all over it.

I didn't know how Ashlee could answer Urdo's boasting.

Because the figure of Urdo, who dealt with the royalty all over the place and peaked one after another with his loving sword while laughing high, appeared on the back of his eyelids.

That's why I missed Urdo's little murmur.

She nodded her head and moved her lips.

”Well... even though I lost consciousness, I allowed the human child to preempt it three times.”

Ashlee, stunned by too much of a thing, didn't notice at all.

It wasn't until a moment later that I realized I was being bewitched by Urdo.

"Oh, my God. What's wrong?"

"You... well, okay." It's a story about humans and dragons being established in the first place. "

Huh?

"For what you didn't ask." So it was about Smaugard, right? "

For some reason, Urdo frowned grudgingly in a tone that seemed to give up, and Urdo turned back to speak.

I don't know what Ashlee told me not to listen to, but I was told to forget about it, so I guess it was a problem.

Sure enough, Smaugard should be our priority right now.
