"Ah, it's been a while, Master Alphonse." What about you? You weren't here before. "
"This is His Royal Highness Benjamin, the Prince of Brillia." Don't be rude, Lambda. "
"... eh, prince of the magic kingdom?" Why would someone like that be with Master Alphonse? "
"I'm going to the peak." To defeat monsters. "
When we left the Orient, we ran on the legs of the Valkyrie for a few days to reach the town of Biden.
It takes more than a month to walk normally, but it is as fast as ever.
But it might take some time from here.
After all, it was a place called the Demon Realm.
Going to the variant is going to go further than El Meralda, which is a slightly different direction.
As the last resting place before that, I decided to get tired in the town of Biden.
This town is ruled by Biden, but Lambda's influence has grown considerably these days.
Lambda seems to be making a lot of money.
Take a meal under such a lambda and talk about the future.
“From this town of Biden into El Meralda, and beyond that, a few mountains seem to be home to the white dragon. Snow and ice-enclosed terrain makes it difficult for people to get in. So you're going to fight the white dragon, but are you ready, Ben?"
"Of course, but to fight in such an environment, it would be impossible without Al's ice-absorbing stones. Can you lend it to me?"
"This ice absorbing stone is too precious to hand over." But it looks like we can get to the site. ”
"Why is that?"
"The white dragon is a dragon that can control ice and snow, but it seems that there are a lot of ice absorbing stones in the place where I live." In other words, it's a very cold place, but if you go there, it's not cold. So you can fight without any problems. "
The White Dragon was a dragon whose existence was confirmed by Ai's four feathers.
They live deep in the peaks, but many ice absorbing stones have been identified where the white dragon sleeps.
Ice-absorbing stones have the mysterious property of absorbing the cold around them.
Therefore, it is said that the cold will not be a problem if you stay in the bed of the white dragon.
Of course, to get there, I couldn't reach it without ice absorbing stones, so I didn't seem to be able to confirm my appearance until now.
By the way, one of my purposes this time is to include the Ice Absorbing Stone.
Icebreakers that allow you to move in the winter without the cold not only move your troops, but you can also increase the amount of human activity by installing them in the city.
No matter how much it is, there is nothing to worry about.
I thought I'd pack as many magic bags as I could and take them home.
"It's the dragon's place." Could it be that several dragons are sleeping together? "
"I'm not sure about the dragon's ecology, but it seems that it's the only way to go this time." So, I don't think there will be many dragons gathered in the middle of the fight, but well, if you don't go, you won't know. Everything is exceptional. "
The dragon lives in a place where it is difficult even for people to enter.
How did Ai know about such a dragon?
Everyone, not just Benjamin, will be wondering.
However, it cannot be said that information is obtained from the sky with a flight device called Four Feathers, so it is always explained appropriately.
Even with such an explanation, Benjamin listened with no doubt.
It is also important to suspect that it is really correct information.
However, you may have full confidence in us for your help in accepting it.
I'm glad that helps as usual.
So, in the last few days, I've been acting together and my Benjamin's reputation is pretty high.
Because I think it's hard to trust someone you meet and listen to their opinions.
If this is the natural nature of this person, even if he becomes an extraordinary king, he will provide benevolence.
"Is it an ice-absorbing stone?" Al, I need a favor. I hope so, but is there a place where ice-absorbing stones can be found by the time I get to the White Dragon's residence? I want to try something. ”
“Something you want to try?”
"Yeah. I guess it's about getting ready to fight the white dragon." As expected, the opponent was a big one. I want to challenge you after we are fully prepared. "
"... I understand. Just to make sure, everything you get on this journey, except for the one from the white dragon, is our share." If we want to retrieve the ice absorbing stone along the way, we will make it ours. "
"Of course, I understand that." Just show me around. "
What else do you need to prepare to fight the white dragon?
"No, that's enough." If you show me the way, I'll be fine. "
Is ice absorbing stone so important?
The fact that we need to fight the white dragon may have something to do with the way Benjamin fights.
Benjamin's strength hasn't yet been measured, as he hasn't been attacked by anyone in particular.
But you might catch a glimpse of one.
In the meantime, the schedule is fixed.
I crossed El Meralda, and on the way, I passed a place where there might be ice-absorbing stones, and then I went to the residence of the white dragon.
I don't know if Benjamin will win or lose against the White Dragon there, but let me take a good look at the battle.
I was excited about what kind of battle I was going to have, and I finished the meal prepared by Lambda, and the next day I went into the mausoleum.
