We Live in Dragon’s Peak

Again, it was near the cave where the young Shadow Dragon slept.

A familiar landscape rises in the moonlight.

And behind the shadow dragon Argirdal, behind the shadow dragon, there must be a cave entrance.

When we regrouped, we looked up at Argirdal, who looked evil in the dark at night.

But I'm not afraid.

If our families come together, we won't be late for anyone. [M]

Besides, it's inferior to Sligsta and Asher!

"Kukukuku. The guardian of the Dragon Forest, the Dragon is no worse than my Asher."

"Because he's a male!

I'm not afraid of a male dragon with his tail wrapped around a manly Asher's hunting grounds.

Argirdal laughs at my provocation. [M]

"Well, that's fine. It's troublesome to take care of both."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Now, give me an explanation for this!

Argirdal looks down at us.

The shadow-coloured eyes glistened creepily.

"Why did you take Mistral and Cefina? And why did you show us such shadows and visions!

Nimia describes the Shadow Dragon as a "bad dragon."

You're not doing your part, you're doing bad things.

As a result, few people now approach even the exterior of the ancient city, which has been stretched several times around it.

The head of the "bad dragon" is Argirdal. Still, it is an ancient species of dragon clan and a guardian dragon that protects the ancient city.

Well, maybe there was some intent in this case, too.

If you did evil without any reason, it means that you have fallen into a real "bad dragon".

"But don't you think you've fallen into my evil? Kukuku, you're so popular."

Argirdal reads my thoughts and mocks me.

But I waited for a reply without worrying about Argirdal's attitude.

We look up at the giant dragon.

A shadow dragon overlooking people.

For a short while, there was silence in the mountains of Dragon Peak.

"... shit. Don't be boring."

And Argildar was the first to break the silence.

Argildal relieves the eyes that glowed in the shadows by yielding to our unshaken unity. And I finally started telling the truth.

"First of all, Princess Dragon Mistral. I'm interested in you."

"Not to Elnea the Eight Dragon Kings, but to me?

"That's right. I hear that you inherited the dragon jewels of the meteor dragon and were trained by the Yin Yang dragon, Sligsta. If so, why should I be interested?

Mistral gained the title of dragon princess because he inherited the gems of the ancient species of dragon clan, the meteor dragon.

Of course, she has a proven track record of being a dragon princess.

But is that meteor dragon so amazing?

Reading my thoughts, Argildal exhales. [M]

"What a pity that a stranger is at the mercy of the Dragon God."

"I'm sorry!

But I really don't know.

Mistral said, "Do you know anything? When I heard about it, I didn't know much about it either.

"I've heard of Chartier, the meteor dragon who sent me the dragon jewel. But the meteor dragon as an ancient species of dragon clan...?

Argirdal gave Sligsta the old name but did not mention the name of the meteor dragon.

I mean, I didn't mean Chartier, I meant the dragon species called "Meteor Dragon."

So, what kind of dragon is that meteor dragon?

Argirdal taught me in a dazed tone on behalf of the ignorant ones.

"Far away. The dragon god sits at the very bottom of the Ryujin Mountains. It is only natural that not only the dragon tribes of our ancient species, but also the lower dragon tribes and those connected with their blood, want to go to the Dragon God Mountains and worship the dragon gods."

Dragon tribes and ancient species of dragon tribes worship dragon gods as human tribes worship the goddess of creation.

That's why Argirdal didn't bring his murderous fangs against us, the dragon gods.

"But it won't be easy to reach under the dragon god's knees."

If I had known where I lived, I should have been able to see him. The Dragon Clan has as much power as possible to move around the world again.

However, the dragon tribes will not fly to the dragon god mountains where the dragon gods live. On the contrary, we strive to be talented by empowering and virtuous in order to qualify to meet.

In other words, even if the dragon tribes go to the dragon gods' mountains safely, they won't be able to meet the dragon gods that way.

"That's right. Those without qualifications will be eliminated, even if they enter the Dragon Gods Mountains. The dragon species responsible for the corner of the Shigoku dragon (Shigoku), which protects the dragon gods and serves to protect the untouched who invaded the dragon gods mountain range, are meteor dragons and Yin and Yang dragons."

"Four dragons!

In order to protect the transcendent Michelle, the Nazareth family is called Shigoku. Likewise, the dragon gods lined up in the line of transgressors also have a guardian called the Four Goryu.

However, the Nazary family, which is a Shigoku star, had four individuals who served individually, but it seems that the dragon clan called Shigoku dragon is responsible for the whole species.

And one more thing.

I learned the facts of the shock.

"Yin Yang Dragon", representing the dragon species of the old Sligsta, was also a kind of Shigoku dragon that was responsible for the protection of the dragon gods!

Next time I see Old Sligsta, I'll ask him more about this.

Rather, Mistral and the meteor dragon.

Argildal looks down on Mistral with interest.

And I finally told him the reason for the abduction.

"Originally, the meteorite dragon was in the depths of the Dragon God Mountains to help eliminate intruders. However, like the guardian dragon of the dragon forest, sometimes there are feathery individuals in the world away from the Dragon God Mountains."

I have heard before that the meteor dragon, which was the source of the dragon jewels that Mistral inhabited, was protecting the spirit tree that once sprouted in the forbidden territory where we lived.

"So Mistral was more interested in her meteor dragon jewels than in her?

"No, I was also interested in Princess Dragon. Meteor dragons that are not even rare in the outside world. Moreover, whoever houses the gemstone of the dragon, searching all over the world, you are the only one."

Certainly, Mistral may be rare.

But that's why you can take them away without asking questions!

"I'm glad you were interested, but I wasn't convinced that you tried to exist in this way."

Mistral would like to think the same way.

We protest, but Argildal laughs with his nose without showing concern. [M]

"There is no reason why we should have your permission. Instead, you should be proud to have shown my interest."

"No, you can't be proud of just being annoying!

And if I raise further protests,

"Then be proud that you wounded yourself."

and said in a low voice.

"Did Argildal hurt you?

"Thou wilt have attacked the shadow, but the shadow is me. To hurt the shadow means to hurt me."

"That's Mistral!

To Date, I don't always punish Sligster for being old.

Despite the force majeure, Mistral and we finally got a drop in our drinks, knowing that we were blowing a bubble at the ancient dragon clan in an unexpected way.

Well then, next. Why did you kidnap Mr. Cefina?

Sephina is, to say the least, an ordinary human race.

Although it has dragon power, it also applies to me, Lyla, and Euphilia.

And yet Argirdal took Sephina, not us. What does that mean?

Argirdal now turns his attention to the full-bodied Sephina.

"Bloody little girl."

"You don't want me to tell you, do you?

A giant dragon looks down on you, but you don't have to be a bit timid, Sephina.

Rigorous posture does not break anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances.

"Kukukuku. And he's got guts. And that is your strength and the driving force of your ascension."

"Height...?

Speaking of which, did Sephina say that in the dark?

So, what is height?

Argildal answers our questions.

"Abyss of magic. The truth of magic can only be reached with one's own drill."

"What do you mean? What is the Abyss of Magic? The truth of magic? What the hell are you talking about?

What does Argirdal know?

But Argirdal answered our question by shaking his head.

"I don't know. I am too high to reach."

"Eh!?

"But I only understand that the answers that lead to the world are sleeping ahead of me."

"Connecting to the world...?

You're getting too confused.

Sehuina is certainly good at manipulating magic. Moreover, it is not only dragon magic, but also magic, magic, spiritual magic and other kinds of magic can be manipulated.

When it comes to the only system of magic that you can't control, it's like magic.

Such a Sephina might be better than me if she saw only the part about manipulating others' magic.

Argirdal seems to have taken an interest in Sephina, who manipulates her skill.

But what is the abyss of magic and the truth of magic?

Even though Argildal had vaguely thought of it, he didn't know the details.

"There is no falsehood in my speech against thee. Thou art by thy power alone, and thou shalt ascend to high. Rather, those who tie you up can get in the way."

"Oh, is that so?

Sephina immediately denied Argildal's words.

"As I said earlier, It seems that I am mistaken, so I will correct it. To be perfectly clear, it is absolutely impossible to reach height by yourself. After all, the reason I train myself is because I want to catch up with my sisters and help you and everyone else. That's why it's impossible to be alone. I can't climb the stairs unless I think of someone. That's who I am."

To be sure, Sephina smiled as she always did.

Sephina doesn't like to be alone, nor can she live alone. That's what everyone else can say.

That's why we live together as a family, helping each other.

"Besides, if you're going to go to heights, I think it would be absolutely more fun to be with you and everyone else. If there is no one who understands or can share the joy of doing something alone, it is just vain."

Argildal responded silently to Sephina's undisputed words.

I don't suppose Argirda would have admitted to Sephina if she hadn't objected.

"Well, now you know why Mistral and Sephina were abducted."

The Mistral was abducted because of Argirdal's selfish interest. Sephina's abduction was due to Argildal's mistake.

Neither of them was an inconvenience to see from here, and there were no results or rewards. Well, is it good that you two were safe?

But one last thing I need to check.

"I'll be back first. Why did you show us shadows and illusions?"

I don't think it's the only reason Mistral and Cefina got in the way of us.

Besides, how do you feel about my qualifications?

Argirdal answered my last question while saying, "You greedy bastard who wants more."

"The little girl there seems to be mistaken."

"Hmm?

Argirdal's gaze was poured into Nimia.

"I am the guardian dragon that protects the ancient city and the witches of my dreams. Then it is only by eliminating the untouchables who try to lean in meaninglessly, and testing the qualified ones."

"Does that mean...?

"You too should remember. No fool is more annoying and unsightly than a wild horse."

What struck me was my parents' home in the King's Capital of the Armad Kingdom.

The dragon tribes often come to play in the large garden. Then, wild horses and tourists gather around the Mansion to take a look at the dragon clans.

Karen, the head of the servant, had been complaining before.

"Rather than taking care of the Dragon clan, I am worried about dealing with the wild horses that gather around the Mansion."

Some wild horses try to enter the grounds of the Mansion on their own initiative, or even if they do not enter, they scream and make noise from the outside, causing trouble to the people on the grounds.

Argildal points to them.

"Our Shadow Dragon is a dragon that protects the outermost part of the outer shell. If so, it is one of the roles not only to keep intruders but also those who do not know what to do in the first place."

"I see! If the danger to life spreads around just by approaching the exterior, there will be no one closer."

At first, there may be sacrifices for unrelated parties. But if the horrible rumors spread, the wild horses would not come any closer after that.

Well, this is a strategy unique to the Ancient Dragon Clan, which can be merciless to your role. Though not available to my parents, it is nevertheless a useful way of protecting them in theory. [M]

And in Nimia, who is still young and unclean, the merciless guardianship of Argildal and the Shadow Dragon may seem evil and lead to a rating of "bad dragon".

"But what does that have to do with us?

I heard that Argildar was prepared to defend the ancient city. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us not approaching the ancient city?

Then Argirdal read my thoughts and rang his throat low.

Thou hast made love not only to the witch of thy dreams, but also to the many witches and to Sue, who dwell in the city. Then it is possible to visit the ancient city. So I tried. "

"So we're going to cross the perimeter into the ancient city?

"That's right. Can you confront your false shadow and look to the future without being swallowed by the darkness of your heart? We shadow dragons ask the qualified."

I finally understand.

Argildar called me a "qualified man", which meant that I could be tried without being paid by the Shadow Dragons, right?

"But don't be complacent. Each hierarchy waits for a trial. Just because we have overcome the trials of the Shadow Dragon, I don't think we'll be safe again."

"How many trials are waiting to enter the ancient city!?

Plenty.

"Nyah!

If we could do business in the ancient city, it would be a big deal.

Am I the one who seemed most difficult to test the snowdragon? [M]

Anyway, Mr. Asher, who hates men, is waiting for you!

"You are a man. Prepare yourself for a much tougher trial than the women."

"I know. After all, even Sue can only enter the ancient capital on a certain day, right?

In order to meet Letty's beloved, who lives in the ancient city, Sue lives around the exterior except for a certain day.

That's all, it's an ancient capital with strict immigration controls on men. Then I don't think I can easily put it in without any errands.

And that's why I'm not going to visit without meaning.

Nice try.

"Thank you very much for your compliments. But I want you to apologize from Argirdal for this incident in addition to a compliment!

Suddenly, Mistral and Cefina, who were dear to me, were taken away and brought into the family.

Just because everyone is back safely, we can't honestly forgive Argildar.

After overcoming the challenge, did you qualify to cross the threshold?

That's it, apology is apology!

Argirdal was a little surprised at my impeccable request. [M]

"Shadow dragon in front of me and speak it without cowardice."

"Would you like to? I mean, I'm not as scared as Grandpa or Asher!

Nyan

No matter how majestic it is, it won't work for us. [M] And compared to the old Sligsta, who has lived for more than 2,000 years, and Mr. Asher, who is unforgiving to men, Argildar is still alive.

"Kukukuku. Are you going to call me immature? Very well, I will reward you bravely this time."

We're glad we did it.

But Argildal was still a bad dragon.

"But it's up to you whether you take advantage of my reward or rot."

"Eh!?

"Ask him how serious he is. Among the ancient species of dragon tribes that live in the Dragon God Mountains is a dragon species called the Clouddragon."

"A dragon?"

"When the dragon god flies in heaven, it is said that the dragon lays clouds in the sky to show the way."

"I see. The Dragon God is that giant. When you fly straight through the sky, it stands out, so the dragon spreads the clouds and hides them from the bottom. So, how does that clouddragon tie in with the reward?

"Just like the dragon guardian dragon in the dragon forest, individuals from the dragon dragon have traveled from the Dragon God Mountains. And the clouddragon is said to hide the treasure that heals everything inside."

"A treasure that heals everything!?

What kind of jewelry is that?

But the inside means inside the dragon?

I mean, can't you get that treasure without defeating the dragon?

"A clouddragon can turn into a cloud like a shadow dragon."

"Huh. So there's a treasure in the clouds?

"But be careful. Even though he left, he was originally a resident of the Ryujin Mountains. I will not forgive you for your protection."

"In other words, if you accidentally jump into a cloud of dragons....."

"Like us, there is no trial. It will melt into the clouds without asking questions."

"Uhihi!

That's really unforgiving!

"I mean, I'm not sure if the treasure information is good for us, and I don't know where the dragon is in the world! This is your reward!?

"I told you. It is up to you to help me in my story. Now I've paid you. I have no use for this land anymore. Let me go home."

"Ah."

Before we say anything. Argildar dissolved in his own shadow and quickly disappeared from the Dragon Peak.

The rest of us looked at each other and sighed loudly.

"It's really selfish."

Bad dragon.

"Definitely!
