For a while, they were exchanging greetings, drinking wine, laughing and laughing at the drunken dragons, and having a party.

I'd like to ask you a question. I want to ask you a question.

"Hmm, what

　When I said these words, Rhodanas, though red with a drunken blush, wore a slightly serious face - a dragon tribe, so the differences in expression are not always apparent - and continued to speak.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you.

"?　Talking to you?

"Mm. As much as you can. Don't bother the people of the outside world too much. They will listen to you, Dragon King.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you're in a good mood," said Reffi, who had been in a good mood, patting En's head, who had fallen asleep in my lap, and then turned her sharp gaze to Rhodanas.

It's not your business. Why don't you people do that kind of work for me. Why should my master have to clean up your mess.

Yes, that's a reasonable statement. Therefore, you can just listen to this as an old dragon's ramblings.

　At the words of Rodanas, Leffy seemed to have something to say, but I stopped her with a pat on the shoulder and turned to him and said, "Tell me what's going on, anyway.

"Tell me what's going on, anyway.

"Thank you

　After a small bow, Rhodanas began to speak.

You're right ...... let's talk about the problems in our village first. We have a little feud between our old dragons and the younger ones who haven't reached the level of the old dragon.

"Feud?

Hmm. A feud of difference between us old-timers who seek comfort in our days, and the younger ones who seek change in our days. Younger people are dissatisfied with the state of their village, and they oppose us because of it. Not all of them are, but ...... those who can't stand it anymore leave the village.

"...... I see.

　I know what you mean.

　It would be similar, even if not limited to the dragon race.
　There will be exceptions, of course, but the basic way of being is that the old seek comfort and the young seek stimulation.

　But - the crucial difference between the dragons and other races is that the dragons get stronger (・・・・・・・) as they age (・・・・).

　In this world, they get stronger because their body adapts more and more to the magic element in proportion to the number of months they live.

　That's why the dragon tribe's elders are all "ancient dragons", according to Lephi.
　Originally they were dragons of a different race and evolved to become ancient dragons by adapting to the magic element.

　The reason why Leffy is the most overwhelming, overwhelmingly strong among the dragons is because she was born an ancient dragon, and because she had a body with a high affinity for magic, she adapted to magic without limit from there, and that's why she's so strong today.

　What I want to say is that the power to run this village is practically in the hands of the strong old men.
　Therefore, there is a difference between the young people who are focused on the outside and the old people who are focused on the inside.

　It's not that the old folks are forcing you to do anything, but ...... still the young folks may feel dissatisfied.

　It's not so much about the dragons as it is about the longevity of the species.

It's not so much about the dragons as it is about the long-lived species. Do what you want, live how you want. But this time a lot of young people have left the village and there are a few of them that I worry about. Especially those who were close to Gygurgy, they tend to look down on other species.

　You are a member of the faction of the dragon that will one day be ...... annoying.
　It's a bit of a nuisance, because it's a world where you can do anything you want with the world that you didn't get your way, and you're power-drunk and rampaging.

　That's certainly a likely story.

Is that why you guys don't bring those worried people back by yourselves because it's a crisis for our entire race of dragons?

Hmmm, there's that. ...... And if we go out there and bring them back, it'll probably be a battle. If we go on the rampage, it could easily destroy civilization. We're at our wit's end. In fact, some civilizations have perished because of dragons. Such power should not be wielded so easily.

　You're not going to be able to get away with it.

　There's no room for the human race if the irascible dragon tribe ran amok.
　An ancient dragon is like a biotype nuclear weapon. It could easily create the land of death.

...... gets the story. But I'm a lot weaker than you guys. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to risk my life for others.

　I'm not a saint and I'm not a brave man who can fight for others like Nell.
　I will risk my life only for me. I have no intention of laying down my life for a stranger.

　Just because I'm the Dragon King doesn't mean that all of the dragon tribe will listen to my words unconditionally, and I really want to avoid such a dangerous role.

I understand that. In fact, many of the young people who have gone out have a bad temper. --So here it is.

　With that said, Rhodanas suddenly created a crack in space - opening what appeared to be an item (・・・・) box (・・・・) and handing me what she pulled out of it.

This is a ...... spear, right?

　Laudanus was handed a spear made of an unknown material, all black, made of a single material.
　It seems to be made of a single material, so plain that it looks like a staff at first glance.

　It is metallic, but not shiny, and has a smooth, wood-like feel.

　...... Could this be a bone?

The spear is said to have been made from the bones of a god. It was used by Laren-Fergada, the human dragon king I told you about a while ago. Once wielded, the sky chirps, the earth trembles and the sea splits, according to dragon lore.


　Shen Lance:?
　Quality:?




　I tried to activate my analysis skills, but I can't find anything.
　All I know is that this spear has some bizarre (...) presence (・・・・), (・・・・・).

"What does this mean to you, Leffi?

No, ...... my analysis doesn't tell me anything. Yuki, this spear is ...... awesome.

　With a grim expression on his face, he replies, "Refi.

　You will be able to find out what it is, so it's a good idea to get it right.

　...... divine spear.
　That name is starting to feel real.

The human dragon king Laren used his spear to bring peace to the world. but it's something you can use. It is one of the treasures of the dragon tribe.

"...... is the right thing to do?　I'm grateful but ......

　No, I don't know if I'm too grateful, because there's something about this spear that's horrible.
　Because this ...... spear is so scary.

　I'm not sure if it will be haunted if you wield it easily.

I don't care. I don't mind. "If there's a hard-working man in later life who's a human and has become the Dragon King, give him this spear. That's what he meant.

　It's a good thing there was a junior member of the dragon king's mind: ...... Honestly, I can't handle it all, even if you give me this stuff.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a look at the spear that you received with a twitchy face, because it makes her squirm when she sees you holding another weapon.

...... Well, okay. It's not that I wanted to, but I'm the Dragon King now. I'll take care of it as best I can. But don't get your hopes up?　I've told you many times, I don't have the strength of a dragon race, okay?

''No, that's fine. Dragon King, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to this old man's words.

　Then Rhodanas bowed to me deeply.
