Chapter 544: Awakening of pride

Then six days later.

“Let me hear your answer.”

Me, Naia, and Maia confront the liner that showed up on the cliff in the valley.

“Don’t be so sudden, Liner Excelisa.”

…………

The liner gives little expression, just glances at me and prompts me to continue, “Is it also something you want to say?”

While I was aware of Naia’s presence, I didn’t turn my gaze on her, and I made final confirmation to the liner.

“The reason you want Naia… I’m guessing a little over here, but it doesn’t end up being a very interesting prediction either”

“… I don’t remember saying it was an interesting story?

“Right. But it doesn’t mean it’s just a whim, does it?

“There’s no big difference…. you wanted to talk about that?

“You don’t tell me to know anything…. I can’t wait to do this.”

“Fun…. is one of the last reasons I stick to this country.”

“You, don’t they often say you’re a bad talker?

“… I’ve never had much trouble”

Ah, a face that seems a little concerned.

Sometimes I purposefully mumble like a mystery, but I guess a lot of times I just leave the word out of it because it stinks of trouble.

Born in this valley in such a position, it is difficult to grow up as a mouthpiece.

Just a little bit, I see the outline of this man. No, I could check.

“Until now, I might be glad to cut it up properly if I’m tired of talking… but this one is the same dragon rider as you. I have trouble pulling everything out of reason and nothing. If you want something, you have the right to ask why.”

…………

Liner looked a little uncomfortable.

I guess it’s not much experience to be told that to face and face if you try to be a liner.

That’s right.

This guy is more on the axis of being a dragon rider than a brave man.

“The Brave” is a very small exception to this narrow world. And a “dragon rider” that doesn’t fit that exception either.

Wherever, for whatever, it’s a foreign molecule. That’s why you don’t have to ask for understanding.

I’m the only one who is equivalent in the Dragon’s “Covenant” and the Dragons don’t allow irrational behavior. Otherwise, I don’t need to explain my intentions anywhere.

But you can’t just ask me no more than the “power pact” with the Dragon is the backdrop of his power.

If you do that, you will be questioned for eligibility to be powerful, and the dragons will no longer support you.

“… I really don’t care about that woman. As a reason for the deal, that would be fine”

“I’m sorry, but Naia is my property. I don’t care. It’s the dragons’ fault. It’s tyranny.”

Naia makes a little face, but she doesn’t make me say anything.

After the liner looked more and more uncomfortable.

“I’m not having a fight. As a brave man, I deal with your treason against your nation and make it a condition for you to miss.”

“Two tongues don’t go unnoticed…. did you find out? This one will stand before you as a dragon rider.”

…………

After the liner glanced at me.

“If you want to go into detail… if you’ve heard everything, you’ll leave as outsiders. Are you ready?”

“You kept your mouth shut and you were expecting that to happen, weren’t you?

“… no”

The liner shakes for the first time.

“I was expecting you to keep your mouth shut.”

When I prompt him to continue in silence, the liner starts talking slowly out of sight.

“By chance, the village you were born in was saved. The brave man to me back in the day was Faria Grance…… I meant the woman’s master. I don’t even care about other elephants. Justice means hope… I thought the power to protect the world was amalgamated in that woman’s appearance”

…………

Naia clouds her expression.

For her to be annoyed by the consciousness of sin that she was the one who killed Faria, it’s also close to strangulation.

But he still keeps his eyes up without hesitation.

“That’s what we lost so lightly. To help one retarded child…. It also makes me angry. I hope that he is a hero, that he does not understand the madness of the king, the arrogance of the princess, and that he cannot foresee the future… by relying on others safely to save this homeland and make life easier. You’d want to get rid of it, wouldn’t you? I won’t deny that I have personal grievances. But I don’t think it’s as wrong as they say.”

A single story.

“Come on, I told you. That would be enough reason for me to kill that woman.”

“… that’s a lot of throw”

“It’s no big deal. Actually…. nothing would make a difference except that they made me show off my boring sentiments”

The liner looks to shoot me through.

“A dragon rider from my hometown. There are two options left for you. Shall we emotionally abandon this woman here? Do you want to waste your time on me? Either way…. Either way, you disappear, which restricts me from freely using the dragons. That fact is what counts.”

“I see… na”

This man is not the ultimate goal, not to destroy Naia, not to do anything about me.

Ambition lies ahead.

As a dragon rider, as a brave man… no, as a ruler, maybe.

I put my thoughts on something bigger, and I’m trying to handle that obstacle, poor us.

That’s why I said pastime.

Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

Anyway, I guess me and Naia can get in the way and get rid of it in a satisfactory way for the dragons who follow.

How far is that “great ambition” … with the most powerful class of fighting power and so much influence on the army of dragons as rarely seen, it may be the vessel that makes the Great Kingdom sweep the continent like an ancient (albeit) legend.

“Well, you are. Like you said, there was no big interesting new discovery.”

That’s what I said, put down a beat.

“Well, shall I scratch your feet?…… Liner Excelisa”

“Huh. He claimed he couldn’t fight, so he thought it wouldn’t be weird to wind his tail and run away.”

“Looks like the outside thing was spreading its sights and ears quite a bit, but in the end, you don’t seem to know me very well”

Laugh.

Usually that’s just haunting, but oddly enough, the liner seemed hilarious to me from the bottom of my heart right now.

“There are so many monsters I’ve ever stood up to. Master Night, Supreme Sword Saint, Holy Beast, Demon God”

“As much as you want. The dragon riders are happy with each other. At the end of the day or so, until my voice withers…”

The liner cuts the words.

And he looked at me and groaned like he saw something creepy.

“… what,?

…… oh.

Grandpa Dan, you were right.

My lord, your appearance has taught me.

“What are you…?

If I’m ready, I’m ready for that dimension.

It’s not a vanity. I believe in the power of the people behind me, and I can carry it as it is without being swayed by it…… dimensions of kings and heroes.

I can use everything that pushes my back and intimidate the liner.

And it wasn’t Grandpa Dan or his predecessor who made me decide to be ready for this.

He spoke to me in prayer, my father’s words.

My father didn’t say anything special.

He’s already dead. You can’t tell me anything new.

But I’m glad of that.

Andy looks just like me.

I was ashamed to look for a reason to give up when my father’s voice echoed in my ear.

And yet, am I good with that?

Does being just like my father mean he’s the one who gives up here?

… and one day, can my kids boast of me like that?

And I finally realized that was what Chief Duke meant by “prayer.”

It didn’t mean I was staring at the complexion of something that was kind to me.

I do things to God, to my father, to descendants I haven’t seen yet.

Not to the people who will mercy me no matter how hectic I am. If I screwed up, I might be disappointed, by someone who could never betray me, and I had to ask for the certainty of my wish, my efforts.

And I decided to use everything to save Naia.

“I’m Andy Smythson, son of Peter Smythson of Polka.”

Father.

I’m proud. That he is your son.

Born and probably raised by Polka, that’s why I was blessed with the good fortune of loving half an elf and working with all sorts of amazing people.

Use all of that luck to try and protect Naia.
