I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 158

158. I can't stand stuffiness! (2)

158. I can’t stand stuffiness! (2)

“Chief! Thanks to you, the calf was born safely!”

“hahahaha, that’s a relief.”

“The medicine the village chief gave you seems to have worked. I thought it would be dangerous because I was old, but… I feel much healthier and stronger than before. Chief, what kind of medicine did you use?”

“…Well, it must have been a potion to increase vitality.”

The blond young man who used to be called the village chief smiled awkwardly as he said that.

My name as the village chief is Thomas.

The name of the blacksmith who made the sword for Zeto was Daedroth.

Losing cows in this small village with few cows was literally a huge loss of labor.

Since it was Daedroth, the gold dragon, who had enough wealth to turn a small village into a city covered in money… One way was to buy enough cattle to overflow even if he lost just one cow. , Which was not what he wanted.

Dedros knew very well that if his fortune had too much influence on the town, he would lose interest in the pastime he was enjoying.

But even as him, he had to make a difficult choice this time around.

As the village chief, I couldn’t sit still and let go of the crisis in the village.

The birth was imminent, and with no particular medical knowledge about livestock, he had to make a decision in the face of the risk of losing both the cow and the calf.

‘Live and live, pour the elixir on a cow…’

Anyway, thanks to her, the birth ended safely and I was able to see the cute calf.

‘The old cow is healthy…’

I don’t think this would have had a huge impact.

‘I should avoid using the elixir every time, but I’ll have to visit the warehouse sooner or later.’

I used to call it a warehouse for convenience, but it was referring to a ‘nest’ that was built as a gold dragon.

He recently ran out of elixir because he had given out the elixir to ‘Zeto’, and it was around the time when he thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep a few bottles in consideration of this emergency situation.

Someone calls Daedroth, who has been looking around the village for a while.

“Chief.”

Since Daedroth had memorized all the voices of the few villagers, he could tell that he was not a villager just by his voice.

But it was a familiar voice.

He turned around at the voice calling for the village chief.

Soon, the eyes of Daedroth contain the image of the person who called him.

A man from the East with a white bandage covering his eyes.

Although obviously blind, the man in bandages was calmly waving his hand as if he knew exactly where he was.

It was ‘Zeto’ who was his close friend and also his biggest interest lately.

“Zetto, long time no see? Next to…”

As soon as he saw Zeto’s face in his eyes, the corners of his mouth went up.

It was Jeto who had always visited him alone, but this time he had a companion.

A woman with finely braided red hair.

It was the first face I saw.

“…Can we be lovers?”

Getto scratches his head at Dei de Los’s question and laughs.

“hahahaha, let’s put it that way.”

“……”

Judging by the fact that her face turned red at my sly reply, I didn’t think she was a lover.

“Let’s go and talk.”

Dedros, who had a little bit of anticipation wondering what strange things Zeto brought today, immediately guided them to his mansion.

The scales are so hard that they are incomparable to most of the metal that covers the entire body.

A pair of wings that allows a gigantic body that can easily leap over a house to soar into the air.

The sharp teeth and claws, and the tail that blocks the approach of strangers are also intimidating.

The truly terrifying thing about them is their vast amount of mana, which is hard for most humans to touch.

And their unique magic system that can be used thanks to a complex mana circuit that is different from other races.

A supreme being born at the very top of the ecosystem, and truly the strongest creature… A dragon.

They had enough power to easily rule the world if they united, but unfortunately, they had never put the whole world under their control in this long history.

Dragons are a race with very strong personalities.

Everyone wants different things and the goals they want to pursue are different. I don’t even want to do that.

Maybe it was God’s trick to achieve balance, but dragons don’t like their own kind very much.

Maybe it’s instinctive to be wary of the same kind of beings who are much more dangerous than insignificant humans.

Maybe it’s less for those who have the same colored scales.

Unlike wyverns, which have a similar appearance, dragons are not classified as monsters.

The reason is that they possess outstanding intellect that even humans, let alone ordinary monsters, cannot easily reach.

Because there was a magic called polymorph that could transform into a human even if it looked quite far from human.

They take human form and set foot in the world of humans.

Such an act was a kind of ‘play’ for long-lived dragons.

Thanks to that, there were dragons with various stories in this world.

From noble mtl dot com

There are dragons that live quietly in harmony with nature, such as dragons with green scales similar to well-grown grass that claim to be guardians of the forest, from blue-scaled dragons that are secluded near waterside such as the sea or riverside.

There were also some dragons paying attention to the human world.

This was the case with the greedy gold dragon that collects all kinds of goods and treasures, or the white dragon, also known as the heretic of the dragon world, who was deeply impressed by the will of Heneris and served Heneris for a long time and gained divine power. .

I had to see that they were on the side of getting along with humans quite well.

On the contrary, there was also a ferocious black-scaled dragon that single-handedly destroyed a country by hating humans and seeking only destruction.

The color of the scales of different dragons used to indicate their steadfast tendencies.

There were many parts that were deeply related to emotions such as greed, anger, and faith.

Then, a question arises here.

What exactly did this red dragon pursue to do such an absurd thing?

Dedros, who brought Jeto and Yuri into the mansion, was in a state of panic.

After slowly explaining the situation, the sphere they held out contained the soul of an unknown red dragon.

“Where did you get this…?”

Dedros asked while observing the sphere on the table.

“In the ‘labyrinth’ at the academy.”

“There’s a lot of talk about Innocence Academy’s labyrinth… It’s a living dungeon, but it’s actually an artificial dungeon created by the sage who founded the academy.”

“Really…?!”

Yuri covered her mouth in surprise at the explanation of the Daedroth, who had lived longer than the sage Oberth.

Even at first, he was an ordinary blond young man with a clean impression, and he had an atmosphere of not believing that Daedroth was a dragon at all.

“I see.”

Of course, Jeto already knew this, so he wasn’t that surprised.

“First of all, the dragon is certain. This wild aura… Must be a red dragon.”

“I thought you were lying…”

After Yuri’s muttering, Daedroth picks up the sphere.

It was to understand the internal structure of the sphere more closely.

“Obran can be seen as a tool to store mana and a magician’s weapon that helps cast more powerful magic. However, it is not suitable as a vessel to contain the dragon’s soul.”

“Then is there a vessel that can contain the dragon’s soul?”

Dedros paused for a moment at Zeto’s question, then put the sphere down, took a sip of the iced wine, and opened his mouth.

“…No, I guess there’s no such vessel. Even if there is something that can withstand the blows of a dragon, it’s very rare… There’s no way to do that with an ordinary orb. At least as far as I know. I mean.”

“Then what happened to this dragon…”

“……”

At their question, Deidros put down his glass and closed his eyes.

“He is… Yes, he is sealed.”

Dadros, who was looking down at the orb placed on the table in a pitiful way, paused and said that.

“”A seal?””

Jetto and Yuri asked back.

That’s because the dragon’s seal wasn’t common.

If you subdue a vicious dragon, you subdue it. What kind of seal do you mean?

Moreover, the fact that it was found in a labyrinth also played a role.

Isn’t the sealed dragon dangerous just by listening to it?

‘Why did I go through such an ordeal… And why does this guy’s soul go into ‘something like this’…’

Deidros had to close his eyes again.

For the sake of the status and honor of all the dragons in the world, he had no choice but to spew outright lies.

    Shameful. Disgraceful.

  2. Sareza says:

    I think it was because the Red Dragon’s soul was put into an ordinary orb as the vessel rather than sealed

  3. Joshua JoeStar says:

    Wow, now I know why the red dragon doesn’t want to meet another dragon, his a disgrace as not only he got killed but he also got his soul sealed in a orb.
