217. trusteeship
The Dragon Goddess, who was frantic, caught her breath and passed by Theosander. After taking a few strenuous steps, our eyes met, hidden behind the Cardinal’s enormous size.
“Ah oh.”
A complexion that turns red, similar to red hair.
It seemed that he was ashamed of himself for acting like this in front of customers.
What should I do to show her that it’s okay?
No matter what they say, it will only look like they are trying to fix it, and they are not close enough to go and pat that it’s okay.
chuck.
Sen came up with a great answer by my side who was worried.
She gave an expressionless thumbs up and said she had hit Theosander well.
Me and Eve looked fun, so we followed along.
From our point of view, it was our own support, but maybe she didn’t feel that way. He walked past the corner with frequent strides, with his eyes bowed to the ground.
After the Dragon Goddess had passed, Cardinal Theosender was not very sick, but he stood there, blankly.
It seemed like he was shocked more than I thought, but because we didn’t need to be concerned.
“let’s go.”
When I patted his back and said, Theosender grinned his teeth and glared at me for a second, and followed the path the dragon god had taken.
At the end of the hallway he led, a huge door greeted us. Although it is made of wood, the figure of a flying dragon was engraved on the door, and the handle was also shaped like a horn.
It looked completely different from the entrance to the chapel of the Batican Cathedral, but the atmosphere itself was similar.
It wasn’t that they fell to the side or there was no more door when they came here, so perhaps the Dragon Goddess entered through this door as well.
“This is the place where the oracle is held. To set an example for the elders.”
Theocender opened the huge door without listening to our answer. The interior scene in his eyes was quite refreshing.
First of all, starting with the wall with a different shape than before, there was a smaller round table in the center, and the Yongin people were seated at a distance from each other and covered their faces with bandanas.
And one of them is the dragon goddess Jane. Unlike the other elders, she was shaking her shoulders with anger.
We didn’t say anything about what was waiting for us, but Theosender naturally led us to the center of the round table.
“This……”
“What kind of sin do you feel?”
Eve who takes my words and replaces them. It was as she said. It’s just that I’m not wearing restraints like handcuffs, but I feel like I’ve become a suspect in a trial.
It seemed like they would start an interrogation right away, but for now, they started to meditate on something among themselves.
Time to catch your breath.
Beside Sen, who had her arms folded in fear that she might accidentally lose her hand to the dagger at her waist due to her displeasure, Eve looked around and murmured.
“Yongin people say they like to give meaning to buildings.”
“okay?”
I’m Eve who reads a lot, and I’ve been reading a lot of Yongin-related books lately, probably because I told her in advance that I would go to the land of Yongin.
The three books I read on the carriage ride were all about Yongin.
“For example, this building is called Dragon’s Rest, right? Since the building itself was built in the shape of a dragon, in fact, the name of the shelter should be seen as calling the site itself.”
“……”
“Then this place probably symbolizes the dragon’s neck. It suits the elders because they figure out the Dragon God’s intentions through voting. Language comes out of the throat.”
“Umm, are you persuasive?”
An oracle at the neck of a building shaped like a dragon. I wondered if it would be a perfect place for the elders, who are said to be those who speak for the words of the dragon.
“And it’s not a good place to bring guests. Daniel, do you think something is seriously wrong with this?”
“i think so too.”
Eve took off her glasses and put it in the pocket of her coat. He looked like he was preparing for something to come.
At that time, unlike the other elders, the elder with a small bell in front of him, a dagger that looked like teeth, and a wand, opened his mouth.
“From now on, according to the supreme will of the dragon god Shakalim, the 729th oracle in which 12 elders and one dragon goddess who served him will be amended.”
An elder who gently rings the small bell in front of him.
Eve’s prediction was right.
This place was not a place to welcome us as special envoys from the Kingdom of Phrygia.
It was a place to ask something towards us.
‘Ha, will you come out like this?’
Eve and Sen sneakily roll their eyes at me. When asked what to do, he shut his mouth and winked at the situation first.
“A month ago, nine sailboats appeared in the waters of Royen. They hoisted a flag with a skull on a black background and anchored themselves in our land.”
pirate flag.
In a word, it was said that they were pirates under the rule of the pirate lord. In fact, there was little reason for those who were no different from criminals to openly expose themselves through flags.
As a pirate ‘monarch’, he is a foolish but powerful man who thinks that the sea is his own territory.
They were the ones who took it for granted that they were planting their flags in their land.
“They anchored in Royen, looted supplies, destroyed villages, and slaughtered and plundered.”
“……”
Eve made a sound of swallowing a gasp as if a little startled, but kept listening while maintaining her expressionless expression.
“Another week later, this time the guys who appeared in Salamanda did the same thing again and then left.”
“Lastly, nine days ago, they anchored again in the Roien Sea area, which is recovering from the damage, killing numerous hereticists and workers and leisurely escaping again.”
“Judging from the fact that traces of internal raids and fires were found during the incident. The first raid confirmed the possibility of hiding spies on our land.”
“That’s why we demand reparations from humans.”
It was out of the blue, but the dragons suddenly lined up to declare.
“First, compensation of 130 million gold coins, which is the amount calculated financially for the damage suffered in the Royen and Salamadan waters.”
“Huup!”
Eve couldn’t stand it at the amount of units she had never heard of before and let out a sound from her mouth. Some of the elders glared at her, but it didn’t matter too much.
“Second, wipe out the pirates who are running rampant. Also, after capturing them alive and handing them over to the dragons, release the spirits of the victims.”
“Third, divide the sea area so that this does not happen again. This is the same as the ‘border of the dragon’ where the human land and the dragon land meet, starting with the Attin Sea as a standard…”
The elder, who continued talking like that, finally divided the sea areas with a map on their own.
“her.”
The day before heading to the Dragon’s Border, I had a lot of conversations with Elise. Why did the Yongin people suddenly accept the special envoy dispatch favorably?
Dragons with the characteristics of ostracizing and ignoring other species themselves do not engage in trade. The land is so fertile, but if it’s not enough, it’s just as lacking.
If you are rich, live according to your abundance and give thanks to the dragon.
The reason why he accepted our special envoy without any hesitation even though he was conservative to this extent and taking a diplomatic stance like barbed wire.
This situation happened to them, and it meant to fix it.
It must have been just fine.
I would like someone to take responsibility for it, but I don’t want to bring people in. At that time, when we asked to dispatch a special envoy, he said it was right and accepted it with a stiff chin.
I was about to speak because I thought the words were all over, but to my surprise, someone came out ahead of me.
“It’s unreasonable!”

Jane, the Dragon Goddess, got up from her seat with a bang on the round table. The other elders kicked their tongues saying they had no body, or sighed because they already had a headache.
She cried without stepping back.
“This is a problem that we have to solve, not one that will bring people together! Why are you blaming other countries for not having a weak defense?”
“Dragon Goddess, speak after you get the right to speak.”
Even though the elder who was in charge of the oracle made threats, the Dragon Goddess did not back down at all.
“Have you ever given me a say? No matter how much I ask for it, it just turns it down! Why did you secretly carry out the oracle to accept the kingdom’s envoy in the first place?”
“Keuheum, I heard that the Dragon Goddess was not in good shape at the time.”
“Who the hell is that…!”
In an instant, the Dragon Goddess’s gaze was focused on Theosender, who had changed from escorting us to guarding us.
He averted his gaze as if he were running away without face.
“I shouldn’t have received an envoy! While pretending to be a victim in this way, I expected that he would evade responsibility to other races. Looking at it makes me even more disgusted!”
“Dragon Goddess! Refrain from speaking! Do not forget that the Dragon God’s wrath is in my hands!”
An elder holding the dagger next to the gavel and cautioning him. It seemed to be a dagger to punish those who interfered with oracles.
Even if the blade was pointed at, the dragon goddess didn’t stop at all. The words gushing out of the small and fragile girl’s body struck the elders with power comparable to that of a dragon’s breath.
“Judicial authority over the human race beyond the borders of the dragon falls to us. From then on, it will come under our rule, not the Phrygian kingdom! Then, of course, we must take responsibility for that too!”
“Off.”
“It goes without saying that those who have crossed the sea must apply the same law! In the first place, it has been said for a long time that the defenses in the Roien and Salamadan waters are weak!”
“Yo, Dragon Goddess!”
She even talks about national defense in front of us without hesitation.
“Who ignored it, claiming that it was the will of the dragon god? Who the hell is the one who siphoned off the money and filled their interests, claiming it was the will of the dragon god!”
“That was the will of the Dragon God! At that time, the oracle number 697 did not conclude that there was no need for further defense in the seas of Roien and Salamadan!”
“Do you remember that I was only denied my right to speak at the time?”
“There are at least three hundred Heretic Judges. A number that even compares to a dragon’s border!”
At the absurd answer, the dragon goddess Jane ridiculed her. I spit out the words I couldn’t say because the oracle number 697 did not give me the right to speak.
“The Heretic Judges are all those who fought on land. Isn’t Yongin especially vulnerable at sea? Naval battles with pirates are a must!”
“Then we just have to intercept from land, right? You really don’t know anything about battle!”
The other elders united in attacking the dragon goddess, but she refuted and destroyed them one by one, as if she were a general sweeping the battlefield at a rate of one hundred.
“Are pirates stupid? Even at the time of the raid on the Roien and Salamadan waters, shelling continued several times, and by the time the pirates landed, most of the Heretic Judges had already died. It is said that they come to land only in battles where victory is certain in the first place!”
If the bombardment hadn’t worked properly, the pirates would have just gone on their way. Come to think of it, the dragons were indeed great prey for them.
No matter how hard you hit it, it’s hard to chase because there is a characteristic that basically hates and is afraid of water on the other side.
A dragon goddess who pounds her chest and shouts with a feeling of vomiting.
“why! What the hell does the dragon god mean? You foolish ones who act as masters even though they are slaves in the presence of their sleeping masters!”
There is the sound of the wind breaking.
In the end, the elder in charge of the process could not bear it and threw a dagger named Wrath of the Dragon God.
A dagger that flew towards the chest of the Dragon Goddess.
i snatched
“It’s brutal.”
“Uh, when?”
Theosender sees me suddenly appearing in front of me and looks behind me in surprise. Eve and Sen stick their tongues out towards him and give him a small gossip.
Being able to stop time is really convenient.
You can intervene in this way.
“you are…….”
Realizing that she could have been stabbed if she made a mistake, the dragon goddess looked at me and gave a panicked voice.
I slowly placed the dagger on the round table and spoke to the elders.
“I will try to fully listen to your requests. No matter how much the judicial power has passed, it seems that the degree of damage caused by humans is serious.”
“Yes? Now, hold on!”
From behind, Jane the Dragon Goddess grabbed my shoulder and tried to stop me from asking what she was talking about, but my mouth was already talking behind my back.
“However, let’s make sure the facts are clear.”
“The facts?”
A small nod at the question of one of the elders.
“Yes, about pirates.”
It was hard to hold back the laughter that was about to spill out.
The reason why they are so far-fetched is probably because they themselves are aware of the weakness of their logic.
That’s why I pierce the core they wanted to hide behind such a tough curtain.
“Were they really human?”
Already knowing the answer, I moved on to the essential question.
you don’t know
One of my childhood friends already had a history of sinking all the pirates into that dark abyss.
