133. Ancient Gold Dragon

133.

“The well… ! Joy… ! Well… ! Joy… !! Well well…… ! Excitement – !!!”

The saintess of innocence had a very unique appearance from a third person’s point of view. And that view was applied to her and the Death Knight who accompanied her for quite some time.

It was clear what the eyes of the saintess who glared at the Death Knight wanted to say.

‘I am still very angry that the driver tried to check what I ate this morning without giving me a single sign! And again, to act like that to her lady is very, very disrespectful!’

But she put a piece of wyvern wing hind leg meat and tail meat in each cheek, and her mumbling mouth was saying something a little different.

‘However, as a token of my apology, I am not unwilling to forgive you if you serve me something so delicious…… !’

“The well…… ! Hey – !!”

…… Although, to some extent, the eyes seemed to have the upper hand in the argument, it didn’t matter too much.

Among the contradictory claims that no mutual agreement is made at all, Death Knight did not know which side to raise her hand. Therefore, he needed to be more specific about the situation. Zerfied took some action to make his judgment clear.

Without saying a word, he quietly cut off the browned wyvern’s other hind leg, carefully skewered it on her skewer, and handed it to her saintess.

Only then did the Death Knight be sure which way to judge.

“Oh! Bout…… ! Well well…… !”

No one would be confused to see the meat of the sticking out wyvern’s hind leg, swallowing that large piece in one bite without holding the skewer with your hand. Even more so if the eyes forget the argument and shine brightly.

The dispute between the eyes and mouth ended as he chewed the meat of the hind leg of the wyvern and a smile came to his lips.

“……… Hot!”

The eye, aware of the situation in an instant, made an effort to maintain its original position, but it was already too late. Poor Esilia’s red and blue eyes lost their way and began to wander. For this reason, it would be natural for the blush to spread all over her saintly face. If you lose your place to go, everyone has no choice but to panic.

The death knight pointed out the situation of her saintess and asked if she was okay, and did not make her complicated mind even more complicated.

However, he quietly and nimblely cut off the wyvern’s wing with a protruding blade and delivered it to her saintess.

“Would you like some?”

There is a proverb that says no matter how many words you say a hundred times, it’s no use doing it once. There was no doubt that Esilia was well aware of this proverb. Otherwise, the death knight would have swallowed the meat of her wing in her mouth without saying a word, with her blushing face.

–

“The well… ! Um, so, well, how about going somewhere?”

The saintess even swallowed the meat she was chewing in her mouth, and she asked the Death Knight a question. Celia felt startled for a moment when she unconsciously brought her question out of her mouth in her relaxed mood. I didn’t know if the driver would be showing those erratic eyes again.

When she didn’t know what to do, only her pupils were rolling around in embarrassment, the Death Knight, who heard her question, turned her head and looked at her saintess. Only then could the saintess let out a sigh of relief. The Death Knight’s eyes were as sharp as spears, as usual.

Released from the worry that she might have placed a mental burden on her knight for no reason, Esilia smiled and met the Death Knight’s eyes. But the saintess had to taste her embarrassment once again. Her Death Knight looked at her blankly and then turned her head away. The place he was looking at was the peak of Eindelph. The saintess also turned her gaze and looked at the place he was looking at as well.

The highest peak in the world, Eindelph, was showing off its mighty power. In the past, when there were people called kings, as if he had his subordinates by his side, Ain Delf Bong surrounded the mountains as if he were claiming to be the king of all mountains.

The great mountain ranges were wide and majestic. Like generals who protect the most important person, it seemed to prevent anyone who was not allowed from approaching their king, Eindelf Peak, surrounded closely.

It was truly magnificent. It was a scene that even the gnomes and dwarves, the natives of the western continent, would worship. But to her saint, all such grandeur was secondary. She told her that the most important thing for her now was the fact that the Death Knight’s pupils were quivering uneasy. She finally couldn’t stand it. She had to say the saintess.

‘Are you okay, driver?’

“…… Sir… , Fine… ….”

“Eindelf rod.”

As if to cut off her words, the Death Knight’s low voice fell heavily. Death Knight slowly rose from her seat. In the afternoon, the sun rising in the middle of the sky cast a backlight on the Death Knight’s large height. The saintess could no longer see what kind of eyes the Death Knight was making. All the saintess could tell was her low voice.

“We are going to Eindelph Peak. There is what we are looking for.”

It was a heavy voice. As heavy as it was, the voice was thick. It was so thick that the saintess’ words could not reach it. The saintess shut her mouth. Slowly the Death Knight turned her head towards her saintess. His eyes were back with their usual sharpness.

“If you finish eating, let’s go. Keep the rest and take it with you.”

–

The headless horse’s powerful run forced the soil of the wilderness that had fallen asleep in laziness to wake up. Thanks to this, the mounds of soil beneath the topsoil that claimed to be their own bodies, sleeping over time, were forced to see the world. Of course, their shouts were not favorable. Their voices were like wild screams. It was that kind of sound that filled the silence of the Death Knight and the saintess.

Esilia felt a little uneasy about the fact that there had been no conversation for nearly an hour. But the fact that she didn’t know what to say made her even more anxious. Perhaps it was for that reason that she eventually called the Death Knight.

“Hey, knight.”

“Why is that?”

It was an immediate answer. The words immediately spoken by the Death Knight made one thing clear to the saintess. That she didn’t know what to say. The saintess had to intertwine her fingers and mumble.

“No, I, um, I mean… ….”

Unexpectedly, the solution came from Death Knight.

“Esilia.”

“Huh? Uh uh uh! Yes?”

“Tell me about the dragon.”

The saintess should have felt embarrassed at the sudden topic of conversation. It is true that she was hoping for a conversation, but it was something she hadn’t thought of.

“Ah, a dragon…… ?”

“Yes, Dragon. I told you yesterday that dragons no longer live on the western continent. Tell me about it.”

The saintess tilted her head. Because her timing made it a bit inappropriate to question her.

“Uh…… If it’s about that, doesn’t the driver know better? It was after the War of Life and Death that dragons gradually began to disappear. Didn’t the knight fight against the dragon back then?”

The Death Knight shook his head.

“It was in the north of the Western Continent that I met the necromancer Blitod. And as you can see, the peaks and mountains of Eindelph cross the center of the western continent. I advanced north from the place where Blitod woke me up, and Blitod went south on the contrary.

It wasn’t me who directly opposed it, but Blitod. And when I met him again in the Eastern Continent, several dragons had fled to the Eastern Continent. They had wings, so it would have been easier to escape.

And as a result…… I annihilated Blitod. I was asleep for about a thousand years before I met you.

For this reason, I thought that although the influence of the races had diminished, they would eventually recover to some extent and now spread throughout the continent, returning to their hometown in the mountains of Eindelf Peak and working.”

The saintess, listening to the Death Knight’s words, fell into thought. But she soon shook her head.

“Um…… I do not know. It was a very chaotic time after the Life and Death War, and I probably didn’t have time to worry about dragons and record them. Because they mainly lived in the western continent……. In particular, as the knight said, the western continent was the place where the life-and-death war began, so the damage was even greater. Now, no one has ever seen a dragon…….”

“I see.”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t very helpful… ….”

“No. That alone was helpful enough. But…… If the situation is like this, finding the remaining holy power armor is a little more…… It might be difficult.”

At the Death Knight’s words, the saintess raised her head slightly.

“Yes? Why?”

Death Knight nodded her head slowly.

“Here, in the West Continent, is where I met the Ancient Gold Dragon Lyrpara and signed a contract with him.”
