The Old Knight of a Frontier District

6.

April 1st came.

As promised, they came.

The flying dragon stood ten horsemen down in the square in front of the Palzam Royal Palace.

It's only ten horsemen, but its weight of spreading its wings and coming down is comparable to that of a single legion of knights.

No, it would outnumber one legion in combat.

There is one dragon man on each one.

Landing. The dragon men descended from the flying dragon.

A leading dragon man moves forward in front of the balds who stand and wait.

I can't even look at the Knights surrounding me around.

It is grand.

"That's the chief's daughter, Chitil Arch."

And, Taranka whispers to Bardo.

The queen of Manuno called the dragon man a rotten lizard.

But the dragon figure does not necessarily resemble a lizard.

Something more reminiscent of shrimp (kekoal) or crab (ibarm).

Head as if the nose cover had worn a popped shaped helmet.

A third eye emits a blurred light on the part that falls on its forehead.

The whole body is covered in hard crusts.

It's like he's putting his armor together.

At the tip of his arm he has three vicious kagi claws and one short, thick finger facing it.

Three toes as well, with a short one sticking out on the heel side.

It's curved like biting the ground, but every finger is terribly tough and long.

Maybe it's a finger that can grab and strangle the prey, Bardo thought.

And a big tail.

I see. If you look at this, you can say it resembles a lizard.

If this tail is wielded, it will also blow the knight in armor.

The power of the Battlehammer is on this tail.

Chitil Arch is a little lower in height than any other dragon man, roughly equal to Bardo.

I don't know anything about the dragon man or woman, but the other dragon man is slightly bigger, and the color of the blue and black epidermis seems darker.

Chitil Arch came straight to Taranca.

"Taranca of Fusarion.

By appointment, I came to pick you up. "

Surprisingly, Chitil Arch seemed to remember Taranka's face.

Baldo manages to distinguish Chitil Arch from the other dragon men, but he cannot distinguish between the other dragon men.

They all look the same, the same.

Taranka, who was called, advanced a step forward.

"Lord Chitil Arch of Isteriya.

Thank you for coming. "

"Taranca of Fusarion.

I conveyed your request to the chief Poporbal Popo.

I will lead you and your companions to my Isteriah, to meet the chief.

After the talks are over, we'll get you there.

But the chief will decide on the spot what to answer and what not to answer to your question. "

"That's fine.

Thanks. "

Taranka grinned.

If it's a human stomach, it's a grin that you accidentally dye your cheeks.

Because of his mind, Baldo felt like Chitil Arch was a little upset.

"So how many are coming after all?"

"These are the four of us."

"Right.

One day to go, one day to go home, one day to talk.

Have three days' worth of food. "

Bardo was relieved to hear this.

Each package is packed with food for five days.

Besides that, I prepared a bag with up to twenty days worth of food, but honestly it's heavy, so if you don't take it, I've never rubbed it.

"We have five days' worth of food.

However, could you separate the water? "

"Okay.

I'll give you some water.

Looks like you're ready.

Then we leave. "

Following the guidance of the Chitil Arch, each of the four walked under a flying dragon.

Talanka seems to board the Chitil Arch's own flying dragon.

All four of them are wearing thick clothes and gloves on their hands.

Talanka told me it was cold in the high places.

They also carry carefully selected luggage on their backs.

It is also Taranka's instructions to prepare five days' worth of food.

For a flying dragon flying a considerable long distance, the weight of one human being is a considerable burden, so he instructed that the luggage should be as little as possible.

I was fortunate that they didn't ask me for a name other than Taranca.

Bardo didn't want to be named if he could.

Bardo proceeded to the assigned dragonman.

A dragon man hit a flying dragon's foot.

Then Fei Long lowered his neck to the ground.

The dragonman urged him to ride, so Bardo rode the neck of the flying dragon.

The dragonman rode behind that bald.

And I turned the belt on my skin, and I put on Baldo and myself.

Consider not falling out of the dragon in case.

If you look at it, the other three are doing the same.

Is this also the instruction of the Chitil Arch?

Outside, maybe he cares.

Chitil Arch raised his right hand and shouted something in the words of the dragonman.

And waved the reins.

The dragon man with the bald also waved his reins.

Ten horsemen of flying dragons spread their wings at once.

spectacular.

The ten horsemen Fei Long kicked the ground, winged and leaped into the hollow.

When I wondered if there had been a loose impact, my body fluttered into the sky.

The moment you leave the earth, is this what it is?

A kind of unusual emotion filled my body.

For more than sixty years after I thought I was born, the earth was always beneath my feet.

I have always lived supported by the earth.

Now I am experiencing leaving the earth.

Grunting and waving his wings, Fei Long shoots through the sky and ascends.

The spire of the palace, which seemed to look up, approached the same height as his eyes.

Bardo looked down.

Seidelmont, Chantillion, is looking up at you.

It's not just the two of us.

All the knights are.

If you look at it, Jules Rant is looking this way through the window in the room beside the veranda.

The bluff is envy itself.

It is natural for birds to fly.

It is also natural for dragon men to fly.

But it's not natural for people to fly.

Now Bardo is going through that unusual experience.

Even though I expected it, people can only be surprised when they see the event of people flying in the big sky.

The Baldos are having an experience that hasn't happened since the beginning of history.

The flock of flying dragons swirled wide to the right as it rose to about double the height of the spire of the palace.

I can see the streets of Wang Du.

Ooh!

Ooh!

The house, people, it's like a toy.

What is the view from the sky like this?

And even higher, the flying dragon flew, and went up to a height that the entire king's capital could see.

Oh, my God.

It's like putting Wang Du on top of both palms.

Fly high, is this what this was about?

Was it such a great and inspiring event?

Bardo was struck by the clogging impression of his chest, which almost spilled his tears.

Beneath my eyes is a sight I had no idea about.

I didn't know it was such a pleasure to look down on everything.

Oh!

The mountains.

The woods.

The distant city, the village.

Looking down from the heights, the deserted mountains can also clearly see their shape.

I can clearly see how cities and villages connect and stay away.

And this speed!

Gungu and Fei Long increase their speed.

Following that, the landscape beneath my eyes switches to dance.

What pleasure.

What refreshment.

In the breeze of blowing, the helmet of the leather armor was blown off, so it circled behind his neck.

The wind that hits his face is as intense as it hits him, and his hair and beard are disturbed by a thousand and hit him in the face.

Even that didn't make it any more fun for Baldo today.

I can't keep my eyes wide open, so I look at the view on all sides with a thin eye, but it was a stunning view that I would never get tired of seeing.

Eventually I saw a big ova ahead of me.

You've come this far already!

Bardo was stunned.

What speed.

It must be said that the manoeuvrability of a flying dragon is completely beyond human imagination.

Follow the flow of Ova from left to right, and sometime the spiritual peak Fuzza appeared on the mound.

and there is what I saw at the edge of my vision.

That's... Rhode Van Castle!

It just looks slightly smaller at the edge of my sight, but it is rarely the castle of Rhode Van.

This means that the Feilongs appear to be flying straight east, but only slightly more than north.

I think so. Soon we reached over the River Ova.

As far as I can see, the lower boundary is water.

Is there fog on the water, and the distant view is blurred?

Much overlooking Auva glitters and quiets like a silver shield.

Its ova soon passed, too, and the ten horsemen of flying dragons reached the eastern border of the continent.

The mountains and valleys stretch as far as I can see, and by the way the plains pop up on my face.

Eventually, as a periphery, we saw quite a big city ahead of us.

That one.

It's Krask!

It is certainly the city of Krask.

There is a familiar Lordship Hall.

This means that they are coming considerably north of the Pacuran territory, and this group is still flying in the northeast direction.

And now I see the Great Barrier up front.

Will the ten horsemen flying dragons continue to cross the Great Barrier?

Will the flying dragons fly to an unknown land where humans have never yet set foot outside it?

From above, I can understand the magnitude of the Great Barrier.

The Great Wall of King Jean, which runs from north to south without a cut as far as I can see.

Boundaries separating people from warcraft.

On top of that.

I just jumped over.

It is the dense forest that spreads right under your eyes.

The trees grow thick and big and amazing.

Look, look, there's no village or town there.

It is a land without a trace of man, a paradise for the beasts.

Bardo couldn't keep his eyeballs from getting hot.

How vast is this dense forest?

What an endless spread.

I couldn't wait to be happy about that.

Flying further for a while, there was a huge mountain and a line went down there.

7

Near the top of the soaring mountain, there was a pompous open point, where there was a beautiful lake.

It was by its side that the ten horsemen of the flying dragon descended.

Chitil Arch said something, but Bardo couldn't hear me.

If you look at it, dragon men and humans alike are descending from the flying dragon.

I guess that means taking a break here.

The dragon man with Baldo on board also untied my belt.

I tried to get off the Fei Long.

but my body didn't move well and I nearly fell from my head to the ground.

Someone supported that.

It was Cars.

I tried to thank you, and I noticed my mouth didn't move well.

Kars and Kara hugged me through Baldo.

Taranka gathered dead trees handily and wanted a bonfire.

The soup is also boiling for me.

Kara takes off Baldo's gloves and loosens them up.

That's when Bardo finally realized he was freezing.

Eventually, the stiff fingers and mouth moved, and the consciousness became clear.

I drank warm soup and felt comfortable.

On a bonfire, sipping soup, Bardo was distracted by the sight in front of him.

Clear blue lake.

Beyond it is April, but the summit with snow on top.

The lake has a clear view of the summit.

A number of bright white clouds cross the blue and clear sky.

The closer the cloud seems to reach.

And in the lake in front of me, its drifting clouds are reflected in an extra place.

When the Fei Dragons mouth the lake for a drink of water, there are different waves.

The waves shake the reflecting white summit.

Beautiful, Bardo thought.

"Are you okay?"

Chitil Arch approached me and told Bardo.

Bardo replied, "It's okay.

Then I added:

The flying dragon you see all the time is flying terribly high, but it wasn't that high today.

You flew me low for us.

"The higher you fly, the thinner the air, the colder the wind is.

Even if you fly low, the faster you fly, the colder the wind is.

Fly long distances in the afternoon.

Keep your body warm. "

Bardo had also completely recovered his appetite, so he followed the advice of the Chitil Arch.

In other words, he warmed his body by eating plenty.

When the meal was ready, the Ten Horse Fei Dragon was once again an empty guest.

The Baldos were each to switch to a different flying dragon.

He switched to a flying dragon that didn't carry a human earlier.

Only Talanka, however, continued to be put on board by Chitil Arch.

Baldo put his hat back on and fastened it securely so it wouldn't come off.

I warmed the stone again, wrapped it in cloth, and wrapped it around my belly.

The flying flying dragon flew even lower than in the morning.

It would be to reduce the burden on the Balds.

After flying for a while, I saw a fragment of the dense forest.

But what's beyond it?

Glittering, that one.

That was, like...

At this time Bardo remembered what Zaria had previously told him.

"Bardo Lowen.

You know what's beyond the Great Barrier?

Heh heh heh.

Yes, yes.

The woods inhabited by warcraft are spreading.

So, what do you think's beyond that?

Don't you see?

I guess so. Hey.

I can't even think about it in common sense.

Water.

Salt water.

The land inhabited by men is surrounded by great barriers, and on its exterior is a forest inhabited by warcraft; moreover, it is surrounded by salty water.

Let's just say there's this earth floating above the water. "

No way!

I don't believe it.

But is it?

That vastness is also a stupid blue glint.

You're saying that's all water!

But it was.

There were endless waves passing through the clippings of the forest, and from there it was all the world of water.

I couldn't believe that there was so much water.

But this is what the world really looks like.

We just didn't know it.

This is a world without warcraft or humans.

The world was so big.

Bardo was wrapped in unspeakable gratitude.

I even thought my life could end like this.

I could see this wonderful view, and that's all I've ever lived for.

That's all Bardo felt.

Fly, fly, fly. The world of water never ended.

It's the same view either way.

I no longer thought of water as water, but as if it were the earth itself.

Nevertheless, it is an infinite earth spread homogeneously, without anything to block it, without mountains or rivers.

That was an unparalleled sight in the world.

Bardo couldn't help but stretch his neck and look backwards.

The Sun God (Korama) is moving low and far above the water in the western sky.

The western skies and waters are stained red, and darkness (Patarapoza) reigns.

We are moving in the direction of Patarapoza's appearance, Bardo thought.

This poetic imagination was, in fact, horribly obtaining, but Bardo didn't even know it at this time.
