Whioooooooo!
A dry wind blew.
Lisinas looked at the ruins spread out in front of him and clenched his fists in silence.
Aron closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away from the tragedy in front of him.
Dragonia.
Since time immemorial, this place has been the realm and sacred place of dragons.
The era of disaster begins.
The dragons were driven out of their home by the invasions of Erebos and Tartarus.
And as time passed, they were able to drive out Tartarus and set foot in Dragonia again.
However, Dragonia, which was found again with difficulty, was completely destroyed by demons.
Thousands, no. In the land where tens of thousands of years of dragon history lie dormant, all that remained was a pile of ashes.
Even in the Age of God, dragons were the most powerful race.
In particular, dragons were God’s agents and protectors of the earth.
Erebos hates the world.
Naturally, they are the opposite of the gods, who are the managers of the world.
And the demons born from Erebos cursed the dragons, the agents of God, more than any other race on earth.
Therefore, after the demons of Tartarus occupied Dragonia, they completely destroyed it, captured the dragons, and brutally tortured and killed them.
At the entrance, I could see the corpses of dragons being brutally murdered strewn about.
Blood flowed from Lisinas’ mouth as he bit his lip.
My tightly clenched fist was shaking.
Dweno spoke to Lisinas.
“Lisinas, I understand your feelings, but… … “Right now, the priority is to retrieve their bodies.”
“okay.”
Lisinas, who nodded with difficulty at Dweno’s words, collected the bodies of his compatriots.
Luna knelt in front of the dragon’s body and put her hands together.
“Great agents of God, please return to nature and rest in peace.”
Grumbling-
The dragon’s funeral involves burning the body and sending it back to nature.
Originally, Lisinas was supposed to do the funeral, but Luna took charge of the funeral on behalf of Lisinas, who had exhausted his mental power just by collecting the bodies of countless members of his compatriot.
Luna, who was educated by the High Elves as a candidate for Elf King, also knew well about the funeral of dragons, agents of the gods.
Luna was usually far from etiquette, but now she mourned the dragons in a solemn mood.
Kyle, Dweno, and Aron stood behind Luna and meditated toward the burning flame.
Lisinas sat blankly and looked at the scene.
After that, the sun sets and everyone falls asleep.
Lisinas sat silently in the middle of the ruins.
In Lisinas’ hand, there was a small box.
“that?”
“ah… … .”
Lisinas turned his head in surprise at the voice he heard from behind.
“Kyle? “What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?”
“And you? “What were you doing away from the camp?”
Kyle asked indifferently, and there were several gourds between his fingers.
“that?”
“It’s alcohol, I found it in the ruins.”
Kyle bit the cork at the mouth of the vial and pulled it out.
Pong-!
With the sound, the scent spread in all directions.
Kyle put the entire bottle to his mouth and took a gulp, then wiped the corners of his mouth and handed the bottle to Lisinas.
“… … .”
Lisinas did not drink alcohol during the expedition, but today he grabbed the bottle that Kyle handed him.
Gulp gurgle-
“her.”
Kyle burst out laughing when he saw that.
“why?”
Kyle said as he looked at Lisinas, who was asking while wiping the corner of his mouth with his shoulder.
“I want you to drink like Luna. “I was wondering if you drink like that too.”
“I just wanted to drink without thinking. “It’s too expensive a drink to drink without thinking.”
Lisinas said as he handed the bottle of alcohol to Kyle.
“I guess it’s a good drink since it was made by a dragon.”
Kyle poured the rest of his drink into his mouth.
Then he opened the next bottle and asked.
“So what about here?”
“The house I lived in when I was young.”
“indeed.”
Kyle picked up the burned leather cover lying on the floor.
Currently, this place is in such a mess that you can only vaguely tell that it used to be the site of a house.
It was difficult to even recognize the shape of what appeared to be furniture.

But the layout felt oddly familiar.
“Was it a study?”
“My room, to be exact.”
Although the shape has disappeared, this place reminded me of Lisinas’ study.
Kyle drank his drink in silence.
Lisinas had a strong attachment to his hometown, Dragonia.
It’s not just Rishinas.
It was a characteristic of all dragons.
That is why Lisinas made his study similar to his home in his hometown.
To appease even a little of my longing.
Most people born before the era of disaster lost their hometowns.
However, since Kyle and Luna were orphans, they had no feelings beyond the place where they were born.
Dweno always wanted to see a wider world.
It was sad and sad that my hometown was destroyed, but as expected, there were no other emotions.
Even if I had to save the world, I had no intention of going back.
But Lisinas was different.
He always said that he would definitely go back and rebuild his hometown.
He seemed really happy when talking about Dragonia.
Therefore, the shock of this tragedy must have been great.
Lisinas sat down and brought his knees to his chest.
“I knew. “It would have happened like this.”
Lisinas buried his face in his knees.
“But in reality, I can’t control my emotions.”
Dragonia was a beautiful place.
The sight of his beautiful hometown being destroyed without leaving a trace was enough to shake Lisinas, who had exaggerated his resoluteness as the leader of the punitive force.
“How much more do we have to lose before it ends?”
“… … .”
“Is there such a thing as an end?”
Lisinas’ voice trembled.
“if… … “What if I fail?”
Kyle spoke calmly in a voice filled with anxiety.
“Don’t look weak.”
Lisinas’ shoulders trembled.
“You are the one who dragged many people here, crying out for an invisible hope.”
“… … .”
“If you show weakness, who are they supposed to rely on?”
“… … .”
Lisinas pursed his lips.
It’s not wrong.
‘It’s just as Kyle said. ‘You can’t be this weak.’
Many people lost their hometowns.
I got used to despair.
If you comfort them by saying that you will show them hope and then show them a wavering appearance.
There is nothing more irresponsible than that.
Lisinas raised his head and stood up.
“I’m sorry, I seemed weak… … .”
“therefore.”
“… … ?”
“I didn’t see you today.”
Kyle said, putting the bottle to his mouth.
“I will never tell Aron, Luna, or Dweno.”
Jump-clump-
The alcohol flowed down Kyle’s throat without stopping.
“Luna and Aron depend on you a lot, whether they know it or not. “If they see you like that, they will no longer be able to shoulder the burden of their hearts.”
Kyle wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Dweno, that old man is different from the other two, but he will try to carry your burden.”
Lisinas looked blankly at Kyle.
“If that happens, this party will eventually fall apart. “Inevitably, you have to carry the lion’s share in order for our party to be maintained.”
Kyle looked at Lisinas.
“So show your weakness for just one day. “I’ll drink and forget everything.”
“… … “Kyle.”
Lisinas looked at Kyle with trembling eyes.
Then, I held the box in my arms tightly.
“Do you want to come here for a moment?”
Lisinas knocked on the seat next to him.
As we sat down next to Kyle, Lisinas leaned his face on Kyle’s shoulder and said.
“While we are looking forward to it, can I ask for one favor?”
“If only I could do it.”
“You can do it. Do you remember that? “When everything was over, you wanted to live in Dragonia with me.”
“Because of that, I learned dragon etiquette until I got used to it. How is it possible that I would forget it?”
As Kyle frowned and grumbled, Lisinas burst out laughing.
“When everything is over, won’t you help Dragonia rebuild?”
“I don’t think it would take a lifetime to rebuild this huge city.”
“You said you were looking forward to today? And you said there would be nothing to do after peace was restored to the world?”
“Yes, I understand.”
Lisinas burst out laughing as he looked at Kyle’s desperation and opened the box he had in his arms.
Click-!
Inside the box was a piece of something the size of a palm.
Kyle tilted his head as he looked at the fragment that reminded him of obsidian.
“that?”
“The eggshell I hatched from.”
“Ohh.”
Kyle looked curious.
Looking at Kyle like that, Lisinas narrowed his eyes.
“You just thought that was rude, didn’t you?”
“I realized once again that you are a lizard.”
At those words, Lisinas used his elbow to hit Kyle’s temple.
Lisinas handed his eggshell to Kyle, who was rubbing his temples and frowning.
“Write your name there.”
“Why is my name called?”
“It’s dragon culture. “It’s a type of contract you make when you make an important promise.”
Lisinas smiled a little evilly.
“You said you would help rebuild Dragonia, right?”
“Do you even write a contract?”
“Huh? “Isn’t it your fault for giving the scammer a chance?”
“Tsk.”
Hearing Lisinas’ words, Kyle clicked his tongue and engraved his name.
Lisinas took it and put the egg fragments back into the box and said.
“Now you are mine.”
“It’s very labor intensive.”
“well.”
Lisinas slightly stuck out his tongue with a somewhat mischievous smile and looked around at the scenery.
“With you, Dragonia will definitely be able to return to its former state, right?”
“okay.”
Lisinas smiled brightly at Kyle’s answer.
***
“… … .”
Leo looked silently at the entrance to Dragonia in front of him.
Chelsea looked puzzled next to Leo.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I suddenly remembered the old days.”
Leo burst out laughing and shook his head.
This wasn’t the first time I came to Dragonia in this life.
But this was my first time seeing the scenery of Dragonia properly.
On my first visit, I met Melina through the forbidden library and did not see the outside scenery at all.
The second visit was the overall scenery seen in the world of Rhodia.
Other than that, I only saw what was handed down in the literature.
That’s why Dragonia felt new when she visited again.
After that, neither Lishinas nor himself could come back to Dragonia.
‘It seems that later dragons took over Lishinas’ legacy and steadily rebuilt it.’
The appearance of Dragonia’s entrance was not much different from what Lisinas had said.
‘Now that I think about it, do you think the ship that used my name back then is buried here now?’
It was when Leo remembered the fragment of the egg from which Lisinas was born, on which he wrote his name.
“You came first! Black rabbit!”
Leo turned his head when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
Ar was standing there with his arms crossed and his tail wagging.
Standing next to Ar was a bulky Azonia student.
“It’s been a while, Leo.”
“It’s been a while. Dorbeman Kalyan.”
Dorbeman, the student council president of Azonia, reached out to Leo.
Leo said as he held her hand.
“I brought you some interesting news. “It’s a school competition.”
Dorvemann curled the corners of his mouth.
“What did Azonia decide to do?”
“Students of Azonia respect strength. I won’t hesitate if it’s a position where I can prove my strength. of course.”
Dorvemann’s eyes sparkled.
“On the premise that this is a suitable stage to announce that we are here.”
“If that’s the case, you won’t have to worry.”
Leo chuckled.
“We will prepare a stage fit for heroes.”
Leo’s red eyes glowed eerily.
At that moment, Ar and Chelsea trembled without realizing it.
‘This human! ‘What are you planning again?’
