chapter 463: king and gate
allen's group was able to enter the dragon god's village thanks to the spirit king fabre.
they had waited for half a day, so they had gotten hungry.
a rather large city stood just across the gate, so they looked for an inn to spend the night there.
for that, they asked a dragonkin adventurer for the best inn nearby and went there.
they went to the inn, took a bath, and gathered in the dining hall.
the terrain around there was arid and dusty, so the girls had wanted to bathe first and then eat.
it was hard to find much greenery in that area of the continent.
they all sat down in the dining hall and ordered food.
(hmhmm, i see. so the big crocodile ones are adventurers, and the slim lizard ones are cooks or waiters.)
the dragonkin also had varied features inside their race, which seemed to influence their jobs.
"woohoo! it's meat!!"
luck raised his knife and fork in excitement at the large piece of meat placed on the table.
"yes, it's meat. i wonder if it's dragon meat."
"allen, there's no way they would eat dragons in this village. it does look good though."
cecile said that was not the case. luck was already stuffing his cheeks.
dark elves did not have the same aversion to meat that elves had.
watching luck eat, allen thought back to what happened at the entrance.
"ignomas, thank you for standing up for us back there."
he had taken a stance for the party.
"well, i'm also part of your party now. why did you not get angry being treated like that though?"
allen had become as influential as a country's representative now, but he did not seem angry by being treated so poorly by the gatekeepers.
"well, there was no reason to get angry at them there."
"hm?"
"there's things i'd like to accomplish before beating them up."
ignomas still looked puzzled.
even allen would be annoyed after being held up for half a day, but his objective was the gate of judgement. he needed to find a way through the gatekeepers instead.
he needed free access to the gate if he wanted to enter the divine realm.
though if he succeeded in getting there, he would likely be able to get out through force.
having a friendly relationship with the dragonkin would make it easier to get in and out afterwards though. in the end, allen needed to find a peaceful resolution.
"i see, you're a strategist even if you were born a serf."
"i don't really care what i am, it's not like i'm doing this for fame."
allen had come to that world to grind, not to become famous.
"hmm, i do want fame though."
ignomas had been born a peasant, but had joined prostia's knights to gain fame and authority.
"i also want fame. also, why is everything meat here? it's not good for my skin. i need to watch my diet."
allen felt like mermen had a tendency to want fame. rosalina also seemed annoyed with the local cuisine.
(maybe letting luck order dinner wasn't a good idea.)
a waiter came the moment they glanced over.
"ah, could i order something else as well then?"
sophie also wanted something else, so far she had only eaten the vegetables from side dishes.
(everyone has a distinct personality. that's good.)
allen did not force his ideals onto the party. he did not mind ignomas and rosalina's attitude.
he looked over at fabre who was eating fish.
"so you actually know the dragon king?"
'hm? i guess, though we're more like acquaintances.'
(i also want anklets.)
in games, the world would always wait for the protagonist to be ready.
allen could grind as much as he wanted for items.
now he missed being able to become far more powerful than the demon king.
here the demon king was also growing stronger and continuously attacking the world.
allen felt like he could not spend too long doing miscellaneous things.
the materials habarak wanted were also important, but the gate of judgement took priority.
"that's true, how about we split this team into two then, master allen?"
"hmm, that's a good idea."
(maybe that's the only way. it's hard to know how long things will take anyway.)
"it'll be fine, master allen. it won't be the same as with peromus."
sophie told allen not to worry. he was still thinking of how peromus had been taken before.
things would only get dangerous from there on, so he wanted them to move as a group.
but if they remained together they would not obtain much.
it was best if they had a material gathering team, and a gate team.
"alright. just don't feel pressured to do a lot. try to find anklets for now, they might exist around here."
"so that and alchemy materials, got it."
allen decided to accept sophie's suggestion, and told her what he wanted to find there.
anklets were a form of equipment in that world, but no one he knew could make them.
anklets seemed to be mainly tied to mobility.
the frontliners mainly wore equipment that raised their attack, so anklets could boost their agility on top of that.
the dragon god's village had existed since ancient times as the guardians of the gate of judgement. maybe they knew about old forms of equipment like anklets.
they did not trade much with other countries, so it was worth searching there.
allen started thinking of how to split the members there.
(hm? huh? since when has this been on the island?)
the bird e circling heavy user island spotted a foreign object.
something green was above the temple on the island.
a smaller white thing circled around it.
the white one was haku, who looked small by comparison, even though haku was 15 meters long.
"what's wrong?"
cecile noticed allen's reaction.
"there's a green dragon on the island. hm? it's coming this way."
allen used the bird f's awakened skill [messenger] to relay a warning to the island.
all the soldiers standing by went out with their weapons ready, and the green dragon left the island and flew to the dragon god's village at a high speed.
soon there was an uproar outside.
"let's go outside, the dragon is in the city."
allen's group started getting nervous. they went outside as everyone made noise.
all the dragonkin outside were looking up at the sky.
"ahhh, it's the green dragon!!"
"the green dragon has returned!!"
"the green dragon is back again!!"
allen's group could also see the enormous dragon in the sky, with a wingspan of more than 100 meters.
'...'
"hm?"
allen felt like the green dragon had looked straight at him.
the green dragon floated in place for a while, then turned around and flew somewhere else.
