"Sounds interesting. "It's good. I'll help Ben.

"Mr. Al. Think of the Vandenburgs."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's okay, Liz. I'm going to act as a lookout.

"A witness, sir?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I'm taking Ben to the summit. But only as a guide. I'll leave it to Ben to fight the demons that live in the mountain and see how he fights. I will observe how they fight and report back to you.

　Benjamin, the first prince of the Bryllian mage kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The story he brought me caught my attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To become king, he would fight demons and thereby demonstrate his power to be fit to be king and ascend to the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It sounds like the hero of a fairy tale like Elizabeth said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'd like to see that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, if Benjamin becomes king, Elizabeth's family, the Vandenburgs, might be in trouble after all, but that can't be helped now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not like I have to work so hard for her family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, it wouldn't be a complete loss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the Vandenburgs have helped the first prince to become king, I don't think they will be able to take it easy on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I explained this to Elizabeth, she understood.

"So Al will not fight with me. That's a shame.

"Well, I'll at least get rid of any demons that come near. I'm sure they'll come at us from everywhere once we enter the sacred mountain. But what are you going to do?　Ben can't use the ice bears and four-handed ice monkeys I've killed to rate them, can he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's true. The number of those killed is small, and their pelts are rarely distributed, so even the remains of those demons are not worthless, but they may not be worthy of the throne. If possible, I'd be happy if they were big ones like the ones in legends.

"Legend, sir?　Are there any legends in the Briaria Magical Land that pertain to the demons of the Reimundo?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Speaking of legends, even children know the story of the Queen of Death who lives in the snowy mountains. I don't know if she is real or not. But the most powerful monster that everyone imagines is a dragon. If she slayed the dragon, she would definitely be the king, but is there any?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Snow Queen and dragons. I wonder. Ai, are you there?　I wonder if there is any information on the big demons at the sacred mountain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin will fight the demons and I'll concentrate on guiding you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this because I thought it might give me an idea of the strength of the man in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still can't gauge the strength of the leading candidate for the next king of Brillia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I thought I would find out by fighting with demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As expected, I would be able to tell to some extent if I see him fighting with demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the question was what kind of demons to fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even an ice bear or a four-handed ice monkey would be appreciated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just going to the sacred mountain in the first place is amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a world of extreme cold where the snow never melts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just going there in winter and coming back is a feat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, how many people can fight against demons in such an environment and win a victory?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even if it is something that should normally be praised, it is inevitable that its value will be reduced if it is the second best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the very least, it is a question of whether or not it is a feat worthy of the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Benjamin needs to accomplish a feat that is not a second best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And for this purpose, Benjamin needs a partner, preferably a dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But is there one?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that world of snow and death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Dragons do exist on the mountain peaks, Master Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Ai who immediately answered that question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai came in from the porch as soon as I called out to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She served us hot tea on a tray, and answered, "I'll be right back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that true, my beautiful daughter?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It is true, Your Highness Benjamin de Carnac Brillia. A white dragon has been sighted at the sacred mountain. It is a dragon that possesses immense magical power and manipulates snow and ice and will probably be difficult to defeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A white dragon?　So strong. But it's great information. Al, please. Please take us to the white dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aye. Can you physically go to the place where this White Dragon guy is?　You're sure it's a place you can lead us to?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. They live in the mountains beyond Elmeralda. It is thought that it is possible for a Valkyrie to reach it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Thank you. So, shall we go, Ben?　We would have to charge a lot of money for the loan of a Valkyrie that can travel even to the sacred mountain peaks, plus the cost of food and warmth on the way there, plus the cost of watching the battle with the white dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't care. I'll pay as much as you want. If it will allow you to avoid the war and take the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I have no problem as long as I get paid. I will do exactly what you ask of me as a mercenary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't know there was such a thing as a white dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how strong this monster is that Ai declares dangerous, but it seems that Benjamin thought that this white dragon would be useful to prove his throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that's where he's going.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to take the job.
