“Are you in your right mind?”
Sylvia begins to argue properly when she is told that she will slay a dragon.
Of course, that was said in a sane way.
“Of course he’s sane. I came because there are only two skilled people I can approach right now, Elijah and Sylvia. and… Shouldn’t we grasp at straws at least?”
“… Do you really think you can slay the dragon just by adding the two of us?”
As soon as Sylvia Rennen hinted that I was aware of the two people’s situation, she immediately moved on to practical matters.
It was an expression of his intention to ask for assurance that he would cooperate if possible.
To answer your question, there’s no way the four of us can kill a dragon. What if the Duke of Winterfield or the Marquis of Mentutihotep provide support?
“Of course.”
However, what I will catch is no ordinary dragon.
And Sylvia seemed to have sensed that too, and after thinking for a moment, she continued.
“Then it must not be a normal dragon.”
“Hmm~ Can’t you get support from your family? Sylvia?”
“Even if we only receive support from either the Winterfield family or the Mentutihotep family, we can hunt at least one Holy Dragon, but in that situation, there is no reason to call the two of us.
Our skills are outstanding even considering our age. There are still many people in the Beggar Empire who can compare to us. There is no need to contact us.”
Of course, those two seem weak by my standards, but from other people’s perspectives, they are monsters.
People who saw him in the entrance exam say that what he showed in Dalian was not his best in real life.
If there was a way to neutralize my awakening, I might not be able to defeat those two.
“Then can you tell me about that dragon?”
“This is my first time hearing it too. That is.”
And Theseus and Elijah pecked each other.
The operation was explained in detail.
“First of all, why is it so hard to slay the dragon?”
“Because it’s strong.”
Sylvia Rennen summarizes dragons very succinctly.
It’s a straight argument. The dragon is strong.
A life so long that it is almost immortal. Scales that cannot even be scratched by ordinary weapons. Overwhelming amount of magic power and aura. And even powers close to power.
Of all the races, the one with the lowest score would be the dragon.
‘Although the highest points are similar to other races.’
however.
It means that the dragon is so strong that you can’t catch it. This means that a weak dragon like a hatchling can easily be hunted.
The reason dragons are hunted is because they are a by-product of their powerful bodies, so they do not hunt young hatchlings.
“That’s right. Dragons are strong. Unlike elves and vampires, dragons are simply strong and difficult to hunt. So let’s change our perspective a little bit. Someone caught the dragon easily. So what is the method?”
Ask the question in reverse again. If the other person doesn’t do anything, nothing will progress. If the other person has knowledge, they can make sufficient inferences.
“Weaken the dragon or capture a weak dragon.”
Silvia Rennen’s answer.
That’s correct.
I smiled and explained to Sylvie Rennen, who gave me the correct answer.
“We are going to hunt down the weak dragon. It’s also a very valuable dragon.”
This world is not the game I played in Korea. And in reality, unlike games, difficulty and reward are not necessarily directly proportional.
So the easiest action will get you what you value the most.
“If you catch the dragon, be sure… Your skills will improve, your reputation will increase, and you will be able to obtain various by-products… Then can you tell me what kind of dragon it is?”
Elijah’s innocent words. responded to that.
“There are a lot of people here, so I’ll tell you later. That’s okay, right?”
“It’s okay because we will investigate.”
“Good. Then you gave permission, right? I’ll give you a proper plan next time, and I’ll see you next time. Dear ladies.”
After Sylvia Rennen’s words, our meeting with the first-year senior and vice-president came to an end.
Unlike me, who thought he had conducted satisfactory research, Theseus had a dissatisfied expression on his face.
He immediately complained to me.
“Are you out of your mind? If the dragon’s condition is not normal, it can be easily resolved by just asking the family. Why do we hunt it ourselves?”
Since I had a lot to say, I immediately refuted it.
“Do you think the family will believe me? And do you think the byproduct will come to me? At least I’ll give you more pocket money. You can make money in other ways. But I will never be able to get that by-product again.”
Of course, since I have a history of fraud, there is no way my father and brother would give me the by-product, let alone whether others would believe me.
It’s obvious they’ll think they’re going to do some fraud with it.
Even if you don’t commit fraud with it, you may think that you will commit fraud with the money you earn from selling it.
“Then why am I wearing it?”
“If I feel like I’m going to get criticized because of my status, I’m going to leave it to you.”
“You are also a marquis.”
“I am the second son. I am 6 years older than my older brother. The future duke and the future son-in-law of a high-ranking family will be the person with the highest status. Which of the two do you think will pay more attention?”
Where I am going, I may be rejected as a cadet, so I absolutely need Theseus.
If I were a marquis, I might be able to ignore it and go in, but the problem is that I am a cadet.
Theseus seemed to be somewhat convinced by that argument and moved on to another question.
“So why is the dragon weak? If it’s a hatchling, it has almost no value.”
“Did I seriously ask you to catch hatchlings? A better strategy would be to obtain something like an elixir of growth from somewhere, feed it to them, and kill them with firepower as soon as they become adults.”
“Is that what a human bastard thinks?”
Of course it’s a person’s opinion. They are raising livestock just fine here too.
Although they don’t seem to know the people here very well, the livestock are also very smart and know that they will die when they go to be slaughtered.
The only difference between them and livestock is that dragons can communicate with them. From my perspective, it’s there.
Anyway, people kill each other when necessary. What’s the problem with other races?
Since I don’t know the answer to such ethical issues, I skipped over them.
“Dragons may not be immortal, but they are immortal. Have you heard of it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s natural for dragons to be immortal, right? There is a dragon that has been alive for hundreds of thousands of years, before humans were even created.”
“But who confirmed that?”
“Huh?”
“In the end, aren’t the dragons themselves unaware? Are you getting old or will you live immortal?
There is no species that lives longer than dragons. Dragons usually die fighting each other. After all, don’t they even know how long they will live?”
Dragons live long. This is true.
And the longer you live, the more experience you gain, and the stronger you become.
However, although dragons are said to live eternal life, not a single dragon has lived eternal life.
Regardless of whether they died for some reason or died of old age, all dragons currently known are less than 100,000 years old.
That’s why people always live with illusions. Even if the dragon is not immortal, it is an illusion that it is immortal.
This is an illusion that arises because the majority of ancient dragons are stronger than ordinary dragons, and there are no beings that have lived longer than dragons, with very few exceptions such as heavenly gods or world trees.
But, knowing the setting of the WFS worldview, I know the truth. Dragons have a very long lifespan, but there is a limit to their lifespan. It’s just that the period was so vast that no one could see it.
Even the dragons themselves.
“When the dragon gets older… The body ages slowly. However, because the magical power emitted from the Dragon Heart is virtually infinite, aging is not noticeable. Because Dragon Heart is truly eternal.
But eventually, as time passes, the older dragon’s body becomes weaker and weaker. The target we are targeting is that dragon.”
The scales are the same. The teeth are the same too. The heart is also the same.
However, various things such as internal organs and muscles become weak.
Then, a dragon appears whose scales, horns, teeth, and dragon heart are no different from those of an adult dragon, but whose strength is actually weak.
He was a mid-level raid boss in the WFS worldview. It was one of the strongest dragons in the past, but has become the weakest over time.
Old dragon. It’s time to go meet him.
“Then are you going to eat the dragon heart?”
“If you’re talking about transplantation, Dragon Heart wouldn’t be able to withstand even if the president tried to transplant it.”
“Then what is it used for?”
“You should rent it out at the Magic Tower or something. Then, saving money for retirement is over. You can take it out and use it later when you need it.”
Even if it is an ancient boss at the beginning of WFS, it is based on when the character has gained a certain level of experience, so if you fight it now, you may be sure to lose. You may win, but the risk will be high.
But it doesn’t matter. Because they know how to attack. This was a characteristic of the early bosses, who were looking for various ways to deal with a lot of stagnant water.
However, Theseus, who did not know that I came from another world, asked how to attack me.
“So what do you need to slay that dragon?”
“What are you going to attack?”
“Uh. No matter how weak you become, I don’t think it’s worth gambling on your personality. Don’t you at least have the personality to cherish life?”
I cherish my life. It’s just that you don’t waste your life when you can save it.
If you are in a situation where you have to risk your life, you can always bet.
There was no need to tell Theseus the truth, so he didn’t respond and told the truth.
“What you need to attack the ancient dragon.”
“uh.”
“None.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
It’s true. You don’t need anything to attack the ancient dragon.
“When do you hunt the ancient dragon?”
What we should do is not hunt the ancient dragon.
“I’m just going to have a conversation.”
I’m just going to be a conversation partner with an old man who is just waiting for the day to die.
