The Branded Female Fencer
Small ripples, part 32 ~ Dragon Decline ① ~
At dawn. The face of the mercenary regiment goes through a time of thought. Lisa and Larna reported to Stervese that they could not find Remegate, but they just said a word "well," and no change came to that look. The two of you wanted to ask me if I could think of anything, but I couldn't help but notice her sinking expression.
And Alphilis, who visits Miriazal's former place day after day, and Jessia beside him. She asked Miriazal anew about the relationship between Almas and Arnelia, but Miriazal denied her full involvement. Jessia honestly wasn't in the mood to drink up the word properly, but apart from Arnelia, she officially announced that she would give financial assistance to the Alphilis and the others to defeat Almas through the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Now, if Arnelia had any movement, Miriazal would be passing through with Almas. Miriazal, on the other hand, was also not comfortable with the rampage of Almas, so the priority was low for her, but an agreement was reached by working with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Almas was equal to what was left of Miriazal.
But for Jessia, the merchant, the priority is the defeat of Almas. That's why I'm hiring Fostina on a long-term contract, and Fostina herself had a reason to go after Almas. For Jessia, the defeat of the black magician is second to none. However, since personally she likes Alphilis, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce decided to provide Alphilis assistance on the condition of helping to defeat Almas. Since Armas is targeting the Alphilis in the first place at the stage of Renatica's betrayal, it was predictable that the Alphilis would fight Armas even if left alone as Jessia. So by providing financial assistance and assisting the Alphilis, Jessia and the others automatically fulfilled their purpose.
And with Miriazal paying for the place and in kind, and the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce providing assistance to the Alphilis and the others in financial terms, the discussion saw a one-end settlement. Alphilis will not be in any financial difficulty for the time being, but Alphilis thought it was not enough. More than that, I was wondering if I was overwhelmingly understaffed.
Besides, there were still seeds of Alphilis troubles. Alphilis was thinking about operating a soldier using a flying dragon, but even offering to the Arnelian church, her covenant with Romansland got in her way. This is the first time Alphilis has learned that Romansland manages the absolute number of flying dragons outside his own country and is also considered a secret about the breeding methods of flying dragons. All this was something that there was nothing we could do as Miriazal, and because Romansland, with its few products, was a treatment to secure its own position in the international community, it had no choice. Even though it was no longer in the past, that was how overwhelming Romansland's contribution was during the dawn. If we were to strip Romansland of its advantage in the Fei Long, it is clear that Romansland would start aggression again towards other countries, and it is recognised that it would be very cheap if only the output of the Fei Long could strike a hand. All this was unrealistic because, even as an alphilis, there was no way to strike measures, and even to establish a breeding method, that would take decades. In addition, there was nothing I could do about the castrated Fei Long produced outside my own country.
And about the fact that Lemegate was no longer visible, Alphilis asked the mercenaries where he was, but no one knew where he was. Asking Maia or Rakia about Remegate didn't know what it was about. Emerald also had only a perception as a sword to protect, something that no one would know about in any way in its existence.
Alphilis tried to go around hearing more about Remegate, but Maia's unexpected questioning would also interrupt his search.
"Alfie, I wasn't sure what to tell you, but I still have something I want to keep in my ear"
"It's unusual for Maia of True Dragon to talk to you. What is it?"
"Notice, that is, the information brought to me by Master Stelvese and his generation of True Dragon Demons, that most True Dragons will give up their intervention in this battle."
"!? Why!?
Maia moves into my room with Alphilis because Alphilis raised an unexpected loud voice. And carefully put a soundproof magic trick on the room, and I started a secret conversation.
"It's not very well known, but Master Notice uses the top spirits to serve as demons. His name is Petefloat. He's the longest at blocking signs and long distance metastases, the Dark Fairy. He who rules the darkness is free to enter and leave even this Arnelia. Without the black magicians knowing, of course. At Lady Notice's command, he's exploring every move.
That's what he told me. A while ago, on the eastern continent, the true dragons were murdered, the heads of face-to-face people who were cooperative. "
"Such an idiot! Killing a true dragon, someone who can do that - no way."
"No way. The black magicians had a hell of a lot to offer. Demon Sword Glam Rock with Dragon Killer properties. One theory also said it might not be effective for true dragons, but its effects have been demonstrated. With my sister, Renes, and her husband, Ferguard."
"Ugh... what can I say about that"
"It's okay, you don't have to consider that death. Just because a true dragon lives a lot longer than a person, it doesn't make a difference that it's an organism. If you die, you return naturally, and that period is just long or short. Once upon a time, the lives of the true dragons were scattered in a great war. As far as I'm concerned, I'm sad and indignant, but I don't know if I've lived as a true dragon for too long, but I honestly can't be sad.
But the problem is, how and what it means. Renés and Feigard were said to be the chiefs of the True Dragon after Gwendorf. Its power is very powerful, and honestly it may be stronger than mine. The fact that it was humans who killed two true dragons at the same time "
"Human?"
"Yes, I'm human. I don't know the name. But let's lead a bunch of demon kings and attack them, humans. This is a mess. In the midst of many true dragons who originally believed that they should not be actively involved in the human world, Renes and Feegard, who were the heads of dragons with innovative ideas, died. This will definitely bring back the other True Dragons. They may not know, but if they can't unite with a true dragon, they could be hunted the hell out of it. They don't know that.
And one more important thing. That means they are Irmatal's parents. Ilmatal's parents have left her to die "
Alphilis was stunned. Once Ilmatal suddenly cried. Was that because I felt that by instinct? Maia talks further.
