Chapter 34: Years
Three years have passed since the water purifier incident
Now my rank is 8
Shiro-san is now 13
Every day passed without any change in the town
It seemed as if this would go on forever
The day came suddenly
The guards watching from the city walls reported that they could see a huge plume of sand coming from the west.
It was investigated by multiple people including us
The result was a huge migration of hundreds of running dragons.
We sent the other adventurers back to report.
Shiro-san and I were able to stop them in their tracks.
Damage to the town was extensive, but casualties were minimal.
"This running dragon looks like sand. It really looks like it came from the west."
Gotton-san guesses so
"What's on the west side of town?"
"There's just an old road that no one uses anymore. Beyond that is a desert."
"No one uses it?"
"Nobody likes to go to the desert. If the old tale is true, there is an ancient cursed city there."
“Elfriade ancient civilization… is it?”
"Correct."
It was written in a story I read a long time ago.
The Ancient Civilization of Elfriade.
The existence that ruled the world, the sky, and the stars in the distant, distant past
But when its power went out of control...
A civilization killed by blue light overnight
"It's just a rumor. No one has ever been to that desert and come back."
"It's intriguing, though."
"Well, it's a desert, but I've even heard of drowned bodies being found there. Maybe it really is a cursed place."
"A drowned body in the desert? That sounds like a lie."
"That's what my father said"
"Ah, how is your father?"
"He's making a fuss every day to strike an iron. But he can't stand anymore, so he should give up!"
"That's the only way dwarves live, isn't it?"
"I guess so."
While we were talking like that.
"Wince!"
Shiro-san came
"Ah, Shiro-san. What's wrong?"
“We will leave the town at sunrise tomorrow. Make sure you've got the right equipment and stuff. And food."
"Okay. Ah, where are we going?"
"Dragon Mountain"
"Yes?"
"A Lizardman living in the Dragon Mountain asked me to meet the Dragon God and help out..."
"Stoーーーーーop!!"
"......What's wrong?"
"I can't keep up with it."
Three years ago I thought
I got used to it. I won't be surprised anymore
As expected, I don't understand the meaning of this and I can't hide my surprise
Where and how would we climb the mountain?
"No, like I said......"
Needless to say, it took me and Gotton-san quite a while to catch up!
