Chapter 33: Emissary
"Out of the way, out of the way! Open the way!"
Everyone's running around in a hurry.
And I'm doing my part in that situation.
"Shiro! We've got another wounded man over here."
"It will heal in a bit. Let him sleep."
One of the highest-level healing magics can heal a wide area at once.
Naturally, I could use it, too.
But there are too many wounded for that.
Considering the overall treatment, it is a less overall effort to use a medium-level single healing magic.
In particular.
Wide-range healing magic can be used twice a day to heal about 20 people.
Medium single healing can be used about 60 times a day
It takes time, but it is inevitable.
It's important to heal as many people as possible.
"Shiro-dono!"
"What's wrong?"
A junior adventurer called out to me.
"The lord wants to see you. He wants you to come quickly."
"Under these circumstances..."
Even though he knew the situation.
“Shiro-san! We're fine."
"We're done with the seriously wounded."
"We'll take care of the suturing and bandaging."
"...Understood. I'll leave it to you guys!"
Trusting their words, I headed to the mansion.
"""Leave it to us!!"""
I heard their reliable voices behind me.
-------------
When I went to the mansion, the lord was waiting at the gate with the guards.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
"I'm sorry to bother you, even though you're busy."
"Yes, I'm busy, so please make it quick."
"You've become much less reserved... anyway, do you know about the Dragon Mountain?"
Dragon Mountain
The source of water in the area
About two years ago, Wince looked it up out of curiosity.
It's called that because dragons used to live there a long time ago.
"Just general knowledge"
"He is an emissary from the Dragon Mountain."
With these words, a deeply hooded man steps forward.
"Greetings, mightiest warrior."
Under that hood, he was clearly not human.
"I am a lizardman of the Dragon Mountain. I am the chief's son."
It was rude to say, but it was really a lizard in the shape of a man.
"I'm not the mightiest warrior. I'm just a little versatile."
I still don't understand this world.
But I'm pretty sure there's somebody out there who's stronger than me.
"Being humble..."
"Just tell me what you want. There are still wounded people."
"I understand. The damage done to this city, this is just an omen."
"Omen?"
"The Dragon God we believe in said so. 'Therefore, bring a strong man'."
"And is it me?"
“Yes, I want you to come with me to the top of the Dragon Mountain, to our dwelling place."
A Dragon God.
Are you asking me to climb that mountain with its steep cliffs?
“Emissary-dono, may I ask you a question?”
The lord enters the conversation.
"What is it?"
“You said that this sudden invasion by the Running Dragon is an omen. You said it yourself, right?”
“That is correct. But it seems that the Running Dragons has been pretty much wiped out."
"What will happen next?"
"I have not been informed of the details either. However..."
"However?"
"I have only heard that disaster has awakened."
In short, the world is in danger.
The dragon attack was sudden and unexpected.
"We leave in the morning."
"Shiro-dono. Are you sure?"
"It seems I have no choice but to go. Besides, if it were true, wouldn't this town be in danger?"
"...It's not that I don't trust Shiro-dono, but."
"Is there a problem?"
"Could you take my son with you?"
“Is that okay? That..."
"Yes, because I have decided we needed someone to document the situation."
"Okay. West gate at sunrise, is that okay... ah..."
Come to think of it, I don't know this lizardman's name.
"I beg your pardon. My name is Rumseil."
