Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

The next day, I headed to the royal palace alone.

It's been awhile since I've been in Imperial Capital, and I thought it was time to not go home to my parents.

I'm the Baron Carlisle family - no, the head of the Carlisle Vice Emperor family.

When you leave, you must greet His Majesty the Emperor. If you don't, Father, the Duke Carlisle family will also be annoyed.

Well, before that.

When a normal person returns, he greets the person who took care of him on the trip, so I won't call Eliza.

So he came to the royal palace and offered to see His Majesty, but not Eliza, a minister who had seen his face.

"Uh..."

"My name is Wrights. Vice Emperor."

"Mr. Wrights. Where is Your Majesty?

"Your Majesty is not in the royal palace. I went out this morning to the guardian dragon."

"The Guardian Dragon... but during the founding of the Empire, he helped His Majesty the First Emperor...?

"Thank you very much."

Minister Wrights nodded clearly.

The Empire has a guardian dragon legend.

It's part of history as an episode of nation-building, but it's half handed down.

Because its guardian dragon has never appeared on the border with the founding of the country.

Some historians say it was actually foiled and clear.

"Today I went out to pray to the once a month goddess, the Guardian Dragon."

"It was..."

"Your Majesty says so. If His Royal Highness wishes, I can tell you where."

"Er... then tell me"

I asked Wrights to tell me where it was and I headed with flying magic.

Unlike the magic of instant travel, the magic of flying through the sky at about the speed of a bird.

Still much faster than a horse or carriage.

I flew through the sky and headed to where the guardian dragon and Eliza were.

Less than an hour in time, flying straight over the meadow, I saw a temple-like building in the distance.

A unit of soldiers guarded the entrance to the temple, so I landed in front of those soldiers.

"Vice Emperor!

One of the soldiers - perhaps the captain's man - called me, and with it all knelt at once.

"You can relax. You don't need to thank me for protecting your majesty."

"Ha!"

When the captain's man responded on his behalf, the soldiers rose again in unison.

A very trained, undisturbed control. Exactly.

"By the way, is Your Majesty here?

"Ha. I'm telling you to let me through when His Highness comes."

"It's divine, isn't it? What's the time to get in or something?

"Anytime, you said,"

"Okay, thanks"

Tell that to the captain's man, he goes inside the temple.

"Ooh..."

As soon as I stepped in, I trembled at the difference in air from outside.

The air I've never felt before.

Mysterious, harsh.

It was filled with such strange air.

I pulled myself together and headed to the back of the temple.

Through the long road, he went out into a huge space with an altar.

Eliza was praying alone, and before that Eliza was a giant dragon stone statue.

"This is the Guardian Dragon..."

You're here, Alec.

Eliza looked up, turned around and smiled at me.

"Sorry, was I interrupting?

"That's not true."

Eliza told me it was okay, so I approached her.

There are two of us in a vast space, and the sound of the shoes hits a burn.

"That's an amazing stone statue, could it have been made by His Majesty the First Emperor?

"No, this is the Guardian Dragon himself."

"In person?

"Yeah. He said there was a lot going on when he created the empire of everything, and he was petrified with it. It's been like that ever since."

"It is."

Petrified?

My nostalgia glowed as I looked up at the giant dragon stone statue in front of me.

"Alec? What's that?

"This is..."

The stone of the wise.

The stone of the wise man, which I had without letting go, glowed on my own.

Feel the will.

Rarely, he has spoken to me from the stone of the wise.

It was the magical use of petrification.

"Hmm, I see"

"I see. What?

"Sorry, just back off, Eliza"

"What? Yeah......"

I don't know what it is, but if it's what Alec says - it feels like, and Eliza took a few steps back.

I saw the dragon stone statue again.

Reinforce the magic taught from the stone of the wise man once in your head, then use the magic with your hands together.

"Hey? Alec, what are you gonna do?

"I petrified it. It's the Guardian Dragon, and it's better for the Empire to solve it."

"What? What are you talking about, Alec, I can't..."

Surprising Eliza, in the meantime magic activated.

They took quite a bit of magic and weakness struck me, but that magic activated the magic safely, becoming light and enveloping the dragon's stone statue.

Eventually, the petrification of the guardian dragon is solved.

The appearance, which was a stone statue, gradually returned to a biological, normal scale.

The eyes, unlike when it was a stone statue, gradually take light.

Less than a minute later, he returned completely from the stone statue to the figure of a dragon.

The Guardian Dragon is Doshin! and fell on the ground lying down, but he was resting.

It's a little distracting to sleep here, but it's also evidence that the petrification has been solved, so I was relieved of my success.

And turn to Eliza.

……

"What's wrong, Eliza? You look so surprised."

"Well... I'm surprised."

"Surprise?"

Did I do something strange?

"'Cause it's the petrification of dragons, right? It has always been said that leaving as many creatures as dragons petrified is so magical as to be comparable to God. So some say the legend of the Guardian Dragon is a lie."

Speaking of which, you had that theory.

"But it's true. Here. Because dozens of ordinary wizards tried to solve the petrification, but because they didn't have enough magic, they were just supposed to take root magic. Alec figured it out..."

"Uh..."

"That's Alec..."

Convinced, Eliza was looking at me with a hot eye.
