Sword of the Philosopher

While Katra and Shasta struggle badly, the sun begins to set. When I started thinking about what to do, Shasta stopped training and told us.

"You should stay today"

"... there's room in that cabin for everyone to sleep?

"Let's make sure the three women stay properly. I don't know any men."

Koitsu...... I turned to Richard,

"Can we call the dragon?

"It's possible."

"Wait, wait. There's a little more to be said about dragon sperm. I'll treat you well."

That's kind of an "I want you to stay" vibe. I haven't had a guest in a long time, and maybe I'm happy.

"Because I will treat you properly. That's right today, let's make a pot full of vegetables and meat"

Do you fish with food? But we should talk a little more about dragon elves, okay?

"I get it. And all the other faces, okay?

"I obey Master Luon."

"Yeah, I'll follow your brother Luon"

"I don't mind, either."

"Me too."

"Mr. Luon, isn't that all right? I'll call the dragon so we can leave tomorrow morning."

I said yes, so I told Shasta.

"Well, that's what I'm saying... let's just make it dinner"

"Uhm."

With a clear face, Shasta nodded.

Better to eat outside in an open place than in a small cabin - surround the big pot as much as you need this size to live alone, and we'll have dinner. Vegetables, meat, and all sorts of things were thrown down in the pan, and I just stewed it gutsy...... honestly, yummy.

"Earlier in the simulation, we were able to demonstrate that we can use the power of Dragon Elves to strengthen the abilities of others."

Says Shasta as he throws meat boiled in trout into his mouth.

"If we're going to stop Nehmeisa's ambitions, we're going to need to put him behind us. This method of working hand in hand with dragon elite is a great way to make a point."

"Then..."

"But if he gets away here, the same hand won't work. I just want to end this battle to stop my ambition."

I nodded deeply. Sophia and the others also agree.

"So, Lord Luon. Are you thinking about what you're going to do in the future?

"... if I can get the help of other dragon elves through you, I'd like you to come through, if possible."

"I know, but it's subtle if you can help me. Some of them are connected to the people of the Empire."

"That's just out...... oh, speaking of which, doesn't Nehmeisa turn to dragon elves like that for help?

"Either you don't want to get involved because it's more of a mutual non-interference or hassle than you haven't actually moved"

If that's the case, is it convenient because it won't stand in the way of looking for dragon sperm this way?

"Hmm, there are a few candidates... is it certain that Yuska and Katra will use this means?

"I can't say anything because I'm still in the process of considering it... but if Mr. Shasta is willing to cooperate, I'll sort it out about Katra"

"I see. Ma, fine. I'm interested, too, and my life is going to be cramped if Nehmeisa does something to conquer the continent. Let's work together."

Light...... here I speak.

"However, I would like it to be the Mansion of the Marquis of Exon to train with Katra in the future. In an attitude that allows us to respond to anything that happens to Katra through training."

"Yeah, that's easy...... so let's raise the issue about this method"

Shasta puts the vessel on the ground and starts talking to us.

"It's hard to gather the number of people, if you can't help it... there may be some compatibility issues"

"Do you know what that is to you, the dragon elite?

To the question, she narrows her eyes.

"It doesn't mean you don't know. Compared to Yuska and Katra, Katra seems better, because I intuitively thought so."

Candidate for Emperor, does that have anything to do with it? However, does this lead to the opposite being said, without such qualities, dragon elite power cannot be gained?

When it becomes difficult unless you are someone related to the power of an emperor candidate, like Katra, you have to figure out how to do it, and you need to take other measures about Sofia.

When I thought about it, Shasta said something surprising.

"The next person I felt it seemed good was Mr. Sophia. I'm not from this continent, but why don't you join me?

"With Sophia?

"Oh."

Nodding Shasta. I don't know if I can fully believe that word... but does it have to do with the properties of the magic that each individual has, or the amount of magic that they have?

However, is it likely that then the measures against Sofia will also work?

"Actually, I'm going to do the same about Sophia."

"Well, do you have a candidate?

"Oh, she will be entrusted with an important phase, so give her a thorough dragon elite... there will be a large forest zone in Anastasian territory"

"Uhm."

"At that corner, you know there's an underground labyrinth?

Suddenly, Shasta laughed. Sounds like you know.

"I know that dragon elf over there. I woke up only once, and I've talked to him, but honestly, I don't know if he'll cooperate."

"But I have the power... right?

"Sure. The most powerful dragon elf I know. It's a mix of angels. Well, if he does, he's not connected to Nehmeisa either. We need to consider compatibility, but it's worth going to."

"There, are we on our way next?

Yuska asks. But I shook my head left and right.

"I'm sorry, but I can't take the Yusukas"

"Are you saying it's a pretty dangerous place?

"Me and Sophia...... and then from the battle of the mountains, is that Romilda? Oh, will Sophia remain a challenge, too? Some phases will require the power of Dragon Demon Stone, so how far can you cope with the weapons you currently have"

"I have a plan for that. Can you give me her sword?

Shasta's abrupt suggestion. Sophia gave her the sword after a little silence.

"Hmm, looks like Exon gave you quite a few things... if we do this"

She essentially began to glance at the belly of the sword with her fingers. In keeping with the trajectory of his fingers, a blue text is engraved on his body.

"... infusing you with magic?

"Oh. I can bottom up my magic holdings"

Oh, that's good. I tried to give him the sword I had on my hips.

Lord Luon can't do that.

I was lightly refused.

"Oh, hey. At least as much as verified-"

"In the case of Lord Luon, who possesses non-standard magic, it doesn't change much if I do something. Exon is adjusting well for Sophia, so I can handle it."

... I'm not satisfied, but do you think I'll have to do this?

"But this labyrinth on its way, Lord Luon will also be able to play an active role"

"To defeat the dragon elves in the back, huh?

"Uhm."

... That's the same way you followed the Divine Spirit in your battle with the Marquis or with the Demon King. I can do everything I can because I can't defeat you.

"Just to be sure, that dragon elf can't be defeated without the power of Dragon Demon Stone, can it?

"If it's about me, it'll work with a normal attack, but if it's him, it won't work."

"Then I'll let you do it right."

"... I'd like to take a closer look if I can, but I have something to do. Let's do our best at the Mansion."

Shasta looks to Katra and Yusuka.

"Lord Luon, let me coach you both. Katra, you are working more closely with me. And Yusuka, you have the skill to be a knight, so let's work it out."

Oh, it's kind of powerful... or it sounds like fun.

I don't know what kind of training Yusuka and Katra imagined, but it caught my face slightly. Do you feel anything like that?

"So, Lord Luon, you just have to follow the dragon sperm of purpose."

"... Sophia, not me, to be exact."

"You're not going to change either. If you stop beating me, you'll follow me properly."

You treat me badly...... I said after sighing.

"Then... the next thing we do is meet the dragon elves in the back of the labyrinth."
