Chapter 514: Kingdom of Secrets 1

In the end.

In the stream, Naia and I, and three of Maia, were to be led to the valley of Karlwyn.

Lyla retreated to the semi-destructed carriage. In the meantime, they’re going to wait for a call from me without withdrawing the face they came with.

I’m worried about leaving you in the midst of a dozen dragons, but if you’re going to ignore the covenant originally, the results won’t change where I or Maia were with you. I have no choice but to believe that you will follow the covenant and treat me rationally.

“Excuse me.”

“Why would Naia apologize?”

“No way… I can’t believe there are supposed to be more than ten dragons following the liner”

“We didn’t expect it either. That’s not the only possibility I could have predicted.”

Ride over Maia’s hand on the dragon body, slowly winging and approaching the valley while surrounded by silver dragons.

“Let’s have a human body around here. The dragon is highly stimulating to the people.”

Reiner Excelisa lands first and instructs him to do so with a voice that often passes.

Maia obeyed and returned to the human body herself after dropping me and Naia off.

“Didn’t you inform the residents about the dragon’s protection?”

When I say that with no one, one of the human bodies of the silver dragon that landed nearby answers the discipline.

“The dragon is not protecting the people. I’m just following Lord Reiner’s will.”

“I see.”

I’m convinced. It’s the kind of logic Lyla asked me one day.

Dragons do not relate to 'society” as a whole. “Individuals,” he said.

But that is fundamentally no excuse for secrecy.

Giving residents who have only five protections and are constantly frightened by demonic shadows the peace of mind that “dragons will also protect them” should greatly contribute to the margins of society.

I guess without saying it to my mouth. Pre-built, I thought.

“So, how many of us have a” contract of power “with Reiner Excelisa? It’s so intimidating, you can tell me about it.”

…………

The first dragon I spoke to (he was like a man plugged into old age) kept his eyes shut as he stared at me.

Are you surprised by our intentions? Well, do you usually think so?

“Three heads.”

The one who answered was the slowly approaching liner Excelisa.

“With all that, it seems like a country of 30,000 would be fully protected.”

“I have two heads with you, but I can’t protect anything.”

“… sounds like you’re looking into it”

One, majestic outfits unbeatable by the highest knights of any country.

One or ordinary rear guard unit uniform. Though not a summer military outfit for hot weather on boulders, it’s no different than shiny full-body armor and superior cape liners.

Even if the rating is equal as a rider, I can’t help but worry about losing a lot in appearance, but behave a little dignified so I don’t get it.

“But this is still a country with 300 years of tradition. There are so many things I have to be reluctant to do.”

“Phew…”

“Either way, it’s none of your business, Andy Smythson…. Follow me”

“Oh.”

Having dropped her gaze on Naia for only half a second, Reiner Excelisa turns her heels and leads us down the road to the valley with a refreshing cloak.

Me and Naia, and three of Maia followed in silence.

Karlwyn kingdom.

The valley and riverbed, carved on a sleek hill, about 100 to 200 metres deep, are lined with crude, stone and brick slabs.

Every house feels like it deserves to be called a “cabin” because of its size, where a few people live to the limit, etc. A house like the one commonly built in Polka will look like a mansion here.

“Something kills the landscape.”

“This is the ‘normal’ of this country.”

To my whining, Naia answers that small.

The liner that was walking in front of me laughed Kukuk without even looking at me here.

“It would feel that way from the outside. When I first saw the town of Renfangas, too, I looked at what a magnificent town it was. It wasn’t even Rennest. It was just a country town.”

“Liner. Since when did you… have noticed that there was’ outside ‘”

“At least it was a lot faster than you, flash rider.”

“So… how did you get that?”

“I thought you were hiding it? That’s because I’m a brave man. You know what that means.”

“Huh…”

Brave man.

Make yourself the sole bearer of this nation’s defence mission, a gendarme, a judge, and an executioner.

“What happens when there’s a ‘outside’ hustle and bustle? Let the people who live in this poor country make death a great move of readiness too? Can we take the land in Renfangas or in the mountains of the Orient, where we have reached, to a people who even now live without knowing when they will starve to death? Or do you want me to take it with a dragon and protect it with a dragon?

“But liner”

“I don’t remember taking it as far as’ there ‘. A brave man is not one who goes as far as’ there ‘.”

The liner says pale. I can’t feel the emotions in the words.

But that’s why I feel uncomfortable.

It’s odd because the claim of legitimacy is accurate. It shouldn’t be such a divisible environment.

That’s the duty, and it won’t be any more, what a split.

“Brave man.”

“Oh, my God, you look like you’re complaining”

“… no, he’s a gatekeeper. I will refrain from judging.”

“… I don’t care, man.”

“That’s odd.”

You’re becoming a little light-hearted because you’re too aware of your dignity, and I can’t help but say it back, so that’s all I say.

Walking as is, about three hours.

Passing through a number of rural areas, plus a dwarf-like settlement (Naia says “artisan village”) in a rift carved into the belly of a cliff.

“Don’t walk long. Are you headed to the center?

“The royal palace. I assume you’re interested?

“That’s kind.”

“I have to get the flash rider to show up.”

I feel Naia strengthens herself slightly.

… right. Naia was missing so… is it likely that she has already been stripped of her brave seat called “Flash Ride”?

“Nevertheless, the inhabitants are quite dear. You don’t recognize me, so I thought you’d make more noise.”

“You must be afraid of the liner. If you take antisocial action, he has the right to execute. Besides… since all villages were originally forbidden to move without permission, not many of the same Karlwyn people spend their entire lives face-to-face.”

“… I see you think me and Maia are one of the locals to be pulled from this village”

Because I’m convinced.

… and I also feel my gaze gathering in Naia.

Surprise, suspicion, and much more about Naia being alive. I guess you can’t just stand up and rush over because you have a liner, but your questionable gaze is constantly directed at Naia.

By contrast, Naia walks with her hat down deep into her eyes without returning her gaze is painful.

“That’s where it’s meant to be.”

And.

A castle in Central America in the valley of the barrier, connected by a suspension bridge from an artisan village.

That’s the destination.

“Carlwyn Castle. That’s the heart of this country. Let’s see what we can do.”

“… from what to how kind, again”

“You carry that much authority.”

… No, it is. I forgot because the liner doesn’t sound very polite, but is this also a rare person who understands what “dragon rider” really means?

I’m rarely aware of it because I usually act out of touch with it. So, though I was wondering if the liner would lead me honestly to who I was supposed to be the intruder.

“… flash rides too. The next flash ride is tentatively decided, but you’re a tough guy to get when it comes to combat. We might be able to recognize something special.”

“Is it…”

“At least that’s what I think.”

… Is that it?

Surprisingly… this guy doesn’t have any bad feelings for Naia?

No, we just suspected from the start… but could this guy just be a sarcastic and disgusting laugh, just a serious guy… or what?

I’ve been gathering information and reading behind it all the time, but there’s not much direct evidence that this guy is a disturbing person.

If we only look at it as it stands in denomination, there’s also the possibility that it doesn’t… there is, or is there?

“Let’s go.”

Once again we follow a somewhat confused but hasty liner that mechanically takes regular steps.

The suspension bridge was unstable, and if I cut the rope, it was going to fall head-on into the rapids beneath my eyes with a single machete, but not much more. Well, Maia was there, so I wouldn’t worry about falling.

The castle was not a very battle-conscious creation. Naturally speaking, it would be because it is almost impossible for demons or some enemy army to attack until this point.

“Dear Liner. Welcome home.”

“Thank you. To Your Majesty.”

“I told him.”

A silver-haired woman knelt (kneeling) to the liner shortly after entering.

She would be one of the dragons in the liner because she wore the same vibe as the silver dragons earlier. She was a sharp-eyed woman.

I thought you were flying the order first.

“Your Majesty and I are not free enough to fly out immediately on a sudden visit. Well, it wouldn’t have been a bad walk.”

Laughs sarcastically. No, could this guy just be vegan in this way of laughing?

“Let’s go. That borough doesn’t deserve a little royal palace, but it’s the first visitor from outside the country in three hundred years. Your Majesty doesn’t mind either.”

“… this military outfit is full of shit.”

Well, I thought diplomatic negotiations were something that Mr. Deane would do in full preparation, so I don’t deny that I didn’t envisage worshipping the king at this exact same time.

Go up some stairs and go between the back.

From the blurriness of the villages to date, it changed by striking, with carpets laid in care, and candles prepared for luxury.

When the servant-like people see the liners, they all drop them off with salutes, and Naia is never seen as a giro. This is the only place in the world that’s as good as another.

Until then, if you ask me to be normal because I’m a king, but I can’t even forbid my emotions to be a little complicated even though I’m an extremely poor country with three hundred years of critical situations.

Then, open the heavy door and proceed to what appears to be a sight to behold.

“Your Majesty, I brought Andy Smythson, the dragon rider and Naia, the previous flash rider, who came from another country.”

“Thank you for your hard work, liner…. all the way, welcome to the kingdom of Karlwin. I’m Jeddah, the king.”

Standing before the throne was a young man not powerful enough, roughly speaking of kings. No, it’s an elf, so is it natural that you’re still young after 300 years of statehood?

The clothes you’re wearing are superior with a lot of golden silver thread, but you can’t wear a crown like that, you can carry Wang Xiao, just a gentle grin man.

“And Naia. Safe and above all. I was about to give up because I was suddenly getting news. Looks like you’ve been watching” Outside, “huh?

“Ha…… eh. With the help of many ‘outside’ people, we returned with shame.”

“I can’t believe it’s a disgrace. Well, it certainly hurt not to have had a brave man like you for a year.”

I don’t see the impression of a “boxyard tyrant” that we imagined in the previous information.

Could we have… misunderstood something?

“Dear Andy”

“… hmm?

“Stay alert, don’t”

Reminds me of Maia’s distraction.

Though I rushed to tighten my mind that I was about to loosen…… Still, I’m uncomfortable without knowing how to take a stand when suspicion has arisen.

“Come on, guests. What can I do for you?

“Ah… uh, and”

I panic when they say it.

“Ask me anything. I’ll answer what I know.”

The casual elf young man said so and lowered his hips to the throne, putting his fingers together in front of his belly.
