I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

42 – Dragon

Waaa!!!

The shouts of the dwarves coming from outside the mine.

Barin delivered the news that the dragon had fallen out of the mine, and the dwarves were shouting with joy at reclaiming the mine as if they had waited…

[Heel]

On the other hand, inside the mine, Elaim was concentrating on healing the dragon’s wounds.

The first time Elim sent water to heal the dragon, it spewed out steam, probably because of the heat from the explosion inside the body.

After the heat cooled down to some extent, the water of Elim flowed into the dragon’s body and began to treat in earnest.

[Looks like the damage was quite large. To think the dragon of the world lost its mind…]

Looking at the dragon who couldn’t come to his senses even though the treatment was nearing its end, Elaim clicked the tip of her tongue and expressed regret,

As soon as she finished speaking, the dragon’s tail moved slightly and slowly opened its eyes.

“Are you awake?”

[Kuk…]

The dragon, who came to his senses, must have felt pain in the area Elaim was treating, and was frowning and making a short moan…

[That’s too harsh. What hurts the dragon?]

Elaim slapped the dragon’s wound with her hand, which was writhing in pain, and she continued her treatment.

[Am I losing…]

The dragon, seeing Elim’s treatment, was staring at us in a prone state.

She answered in a completely different tone, as if she had accepted her defeat.

“How are you feeling?”

[I think I’m going to die…]

“After the treatment is over, the pain will subside a little, so please be patient.”

[…It’s definitely because he’s a hero, but he’s strong… It was my fault for ignoring him as a human…]

The dragon, having lost all will to fight, was lying comfortably with his body stretched out.

Her pain must have subsided to some extent with Elaim’s healing magic, and her frowning face returned to a comfortable one.

“But why did the dragon come all this way? Leaving a comfortable rare…”

[That’s why I came here because I don’t have my rare.]

“No rare?”

[I need a lot of money to buy rare things, but since I’ve just become Jackie Chan, I don’t have a lot of money… My parents tell me to go out to the human world and play and save money… It’s kind of annoying….]

Although I was listening to what the dragon was saying, I doubted my ears for a moment, wondering if I had heard it wrong…

This is the first time I’ve heard that dragons need money to save rare.. It’s the first time I’ve heard that they come to the human world to earn money.

I thought I would just enjoy everything as the strongest race…

“That’s why you stole this dwarven mine to use as a rare.”

[To be taken away… I entered after legitimately requesting a duel. Of course… Those dwarves surrendered and came in easily…]

That huge, red-hot body breathes fire with delight…

What kind of Dwarf in the world can endure without surrender…

It makes sense to ask for a duel…

It was no different than just taking it by force.

“This is the living quarters of the Dwarves, and for the humans living on the continent, it is an important mine that can make weapons against the Demon King’s army. So, I want you to empty the rare.”

[I lost the duel… I don’t think I have the right to refuse… Okay. I’ll empty it.]

After Elim’s treatment, the dragon got up from its seat and looked around slowly to see if it had any lingering attachments to the mine.

[Haaa… Where else do I go to find a rare…]

Hunging his head like a human and even breathing a sigh… To anyone, it looked like a human wearing a dragon mask.

“Hey…”

The voice of Clara approaching from behind the lonely dragon, calling him.

“If you don’t mind… Why don’t you go to our kingdom?”

[Kingdom?]

“Yes! As far as I know, dragons can change into human form…”

[Yes. He can transform.]

“Then, how about living together in our palace!? I can give you a mansion if you want!”

I don’t know what Clara meant by saying that, but

Looking at his bright eyes for the first time in a long time, he seemed to have a good idea.

[It’s a human kingdom… But our dragons must remain neutral…]

“A while ago, I heard that there are dragons living in the realm of the demon king. So, isn’t it okay to buy it in our palace? You can just stay neutral and stay there.”

[Hmm…]

At Clara’s words, the dragon fell into deep thought, and Clara began to open his mouth again to ignite his decision.

“If you go to the royal palace, you can eat human food as you like, and there are guards, maids, and even gardeners in the private villa, and there is even an outdoor garden in front of the palace where you can enjoy refreshments on a nice day.”

[Then what should I do?]

“Yes?”

[You’re inviting me to the palace because you want something from me, right?]

“That’s what I want~ hahahaha. There is no such thing.”

[Don’t you want me to live in the palace and be protected?]

“……”

Anyway, Clara’s plan seemed to have the purpose of making that dragon stay in the royal palace to be protected in case of emergency…

[Then I can’t get along. Since we have to remain neutral forever, we can’t protect one side or the other.]

“Ah… No! You don’t have to protect me!”

[Then?]

“Teach me magic!”

[What?]

“In exchange for giving me a place to live, please teach me magic! This isn’t asking for protection, it’s just receiving education and receiving education properly.”

[That’s it…]

Dragon stopped talking and thought again, whether Clara was right.

The corner of Clara’s mouth began to rise as she watched the worried dragon.

[Then… Am I going as a teacher?]

“Yes!! That’s right! Master!”

When Clara said “Master” With his eyes shining brightly, the corner of the dragon’s mouth lifted slightly…

He had a satisfied expression on his face.

[Hmm! Hmm! Well… If you want to become my disciple…]

“Thank you! Master! I hope to go along well!”

I don’t know if Clara’s purpose is to learn real magic, or if she just wants to keep the dragon in the palace as an excuse to learn magic, but I don’t know.

Anyway, both of them are satisfied, and most of all, the dwarf mine work has been completed well…

Should I say 3 sets with 1 seat…

*****

A refugee camp in the kingdom of Erupe..

At one time, this place was crowded with many refugees from the western part of the continent.

Now, everyone left for Argen Kingdom and only a few who wanted to go to other countries were guarding this place.

And…

With the sound of horses hooves, heretic inquisitors with red crosses on their shiny white armor were approaching this quiet place…

“Is this the place where the water saint appeared?”

“Yes. Priest Joseph.”

Joseph, the only one of these priests wearing the same armor and white cloak, looked around the refugee camp and gave orders to the monks.

“Begin the interrogation.”

“Yes.”

At the order of the priest Joseph, all the heretic inquisitors in the vicinity headed for the refugee camp.

In an instant, the refugee camp was filled with cries and screams mixed with pain from those who were being cut to death by the swords of the monks.

Some refugees were captured by the monks and brought before the priest.

“Priest, these are the people who have seen the water saint.”

“Really?”

Only then did Priest Joseph get off his horse and pass by those who were brought to the monks, looking closely at their faces.

“Finally, I will give you a chance to repent. Even now, if you tell the truth about where the water saint is, I will bestow the grace of the goddess.”

Those who were brought to this place were brought only by the monks who said they knew the water saint as they wandered around the shack in the refugee camp.

At first, those who didn’t know why they were brought here answered that they didn’t know about the water saint, or

Or maybe there were people who didn’t answer ah…

“Is no one talking?”

From nob le mt l dot com

No one answered Priest Joseph’s words, so in the end the priest nodded to the monk on the left,

He approached the one in front of him with a sword in his hand.

“If you don’t tell me, you witches have no chance of trial.”

Evil!!

As soon as the priest finished speaking, the monk cut off the woman’s throat.

Seeing this, the refugees panicked and tried to get up from their seats, but the monks had already approached them and pointed their swords at their necks.

“Now, I will give you demons and witches another chance to repent. Where did the water saint go?”

“…..”

“Aren’t you talking again? Then…”

When the priest looked at the woman in front to find the next target, she jumped up from her seat in a fright.

“Let me tell you! I’ll tell you! So please save your life!!”

“Yes. If you speak, I will give you a chance to repent.”

“Thank you! Thank you! The water saint went to the kingdom of Argen with the hero!!”

“Together with the hero… To the Kingdom of Argen?”

“Yes!! The water saint said she was a member of the hero party!!”

Other people’s stinging gaze continued towards her who told her everything, forgetting the grace of her who healed herself in order to live somehow…

“Is there not a single lie?”

“Yes!! Sure!! So please save me! I have children with me!!”

“Hmm.. Ok.. I will give you a chance to repent.”

Her priest pointed her sword in front of her and then opened her mouth briefly.

“[Sacred Fire]”

Then white flames rose from the ground, burning fiercely.

Everyone covered their faces with their hands and hid back to distance themselves from the heat.

“If you jump into that fire and survive, you will receive repentance, and those who don’t will fall into the fire of hell.”

“Please save me!! Didn’t he say that if I told him where the water saint was, he would save me!?”

“I never said I would spare you witches. I said I would give you a chance to repent.”

“……Yes?”

At the priest’s words, the woman eventually collapsed on her seat.

“What are they doing?”

Urged on by her priest, her monks approached her and supported her arm toward the blazing flames.

The rest of them were dying on the spot from the swords of the monks.
