Second Visit to the Grave
There was nothing particularly important about Berdreich, the representative city of the region.
So after that, we will head to the Dragon Mountain in Bardonacia territory.
And along the way it happened
"Dragon bread! How about dragon bread!"
"We have an iron ornament from the Dragon Mountain!"
Yep
The Dragon Mountain had become a tourist attraction.
They even went out of their way to build a lift so you can reach the summit.
"Shiero-san!"
"Hmm?"
Wince points to a small box and calls out to me.
"It says here that this is an inhalant, right?"
"Aah, is it that one?"
The old man at the stall senses our questions and answers.
"The Dragon Mountain is high up, so you get headaches and feel nauseous while climbing.''
I know
Come to think of it, I ended up not using the leaf I got from Rumseil.
As expected, it will wither.
"In the past, people used to chew the leaves of a certain plant."
"Aren't you using it now?"
"Oh, it was about ten years ago, wasn't it? That's when a child swallowed it."
So this is the age when even children climb up.
And a child might swallow it by mistake or out of curiosity.
"Is it bad if you drink it?"
Wince probably knows about that.
But we don't know what will happen if you swallow it.
That's probably why she's asking.
"If you swallow the leaf, you will lose consciousness.''
The effect was more dangerous than I expected.
"It's famous among lizardmen. It's bitter enough to make you faint."
What kind of bitterness is it?
"It's a good idea to buy one for now."
"How much?"
"Three copper coins."
It was cheap
"Thank you~"
What I took out from the small box was a small wooden bottle.
Wouldn't it be better to call it a haystack rather than a bottle?
"It's covered, but it still smells amazing."
But this smell is nostalgic
It's the smell of the leaves.
"We're going up. Please hold on to the handrail."
The elevator is much bigger than the old one.
And it goes up slower than I thought it would.
"Is it to enjoy the view?"
Probably so
There are no clouds on the Dragon Mountain today.
It's a spectacular view of the blue sky and green land.
A family is riding together with us.
The child's eyes are shining, too.
"We have arrived. Please watch your step."
It's a tourist attraction.
It's well taken care of
They also take safety measures
"Now, isn't that strange? Wi... Fisse."
"It's strange."
Uncomfortable feeling at the start
At the end of the road is the place where Lute, the Chief God, and Shiro, the hero, met.
That's how it was explained
"It's not this way, is it?"
"It’s over there."
The two of us are looking in a completely different direction
In the unadorned path that looks like scaffolding made for employees.
"Excuse me"
I call out to an employee
"Can I help you?"
"Please give this to the person in charge."
I said that and handed him a letter.
What does it say?
"! ...P-Please wait for a while!"
If it has the emperor's name on it, you'd be surprised
-------------
Soon after, the manager came to us and let us through to the employees' corridor.
And there was a place beyond that that even employees were not allowed to enter.
"Ah, this is the way."
"Oh, it's been a long time."
"Umm…"
The person in charge was anxious to talk to me.
"What lies ahead?"
I can't say that
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you."
And so we continue on alone.
The narrow path that I remember so well
But the sea of clouds surrounding the narrow path was not there today.
Soon we arrive at a small stone grave marker.
"It's a good thing we made it out of stone."
"It's still here."
Hardly any weeds have grown on it.
"Edgeworth. I made sure to bring some liquor."
As promised
I brought you some strong alcohol.
