Knights, Let’s Smash Them

28 – Kidnapping the Hatchling (1)

Bright red hair like a rose. Brilliant ruby eyes. I don’t know what material it’s made of, but a woman in a black sleeveless dress clings to it anyway.

The face of Pirhak, who was always confident at her appearance, was completely shrunken.

Facing a real predator.

“No, hello… ….”

When Xianne, who was overwhelmed by her first impression, hesitantly greeted her, Sister Dragon rolled her eyes.

“Aha, is it this year?”

“Oh no!! No…… ! This is my friend here, Lubern’s boss at work! Hey, honey, you know Luvern…… ?”

Just before the shimmering murderous intent rushed in, Pir Haq hurriedly wiped her hand to stop it.

Before I could become a serious victim, Xian Ne stepped in front of her and stood in front of her as if sneakily covering her.

“This woman has nothing to do with Firhak, Miss Persuskaron.”

The red dragon slightly turned its head and looked me up and down, then laughed as if it remembered who it was.

“Ah, Lubern Alroy! Long time no see!”

“It’s been a while.”

Dragons are lofty, great, and powerful beings, but surprisingly, their memory is not very good as they live for an eternity.

Generally, after falling asleep for decades, when he wakes up, he completely forgets what he has done before going to sleep.

So, just before going to sleep, the dragon sleeps with only five memories.

In this way he had to be reconfirmed once in a while.

Because she remembered me as ‘Pyrhak’s friend’.

“Chianne Knight Commander, this is Persuscaron. You may have heard of it at some point.”

When I introduce her to her, Xian Ne replies by covering her mouth.

“My God, the wife of a great adventurer is the owner of the eastern volcano!!”

“Ah, are you still called by that strange name? Because humans are really jingle.”

“Honey…… I am human too…….”

“You are also included in the word jingle, yes.”

Persus Charon sighed as he brushed her hair once. She simply exhales, but faint flames flare up around her mouth.

“I am Persuscaron. A simple ‘per’ is enough.”

When she shook her hand, Xianne took her hand tremblingly.

“Why are you shaking like this?”

“How can I not fall! It’s a dragon!”

When I pranked her by poking her, Xian Ne screamed.

Since the last Lucius Zero Two incident, I used to play pranks on Cianne a lot like this.

What’s wrong with a person having a good sense of hitting? If you feel unfair about being teased, you shouldn’t have reacted that way.

“hehehe, that’s cute. I liked it. By the way… ….”

It seems like that kind of look was also liked by Ferr’s sister-in-law.

She stretched her body, then pulled her husband, who was standing still beside her, by the nape of her neck, and put on her headlock.

“Ah, ah ah!! Sick honey! Go…… What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?!”

“Did I really think I wouldn’t know this time?”

It’s hot.

Tendons rise in the muscles of her arms, which were obviously smooth.

Within seconds of being held by the terrible technique of the dragon’s headlock, Pir Haq hurriedly thumped with his hands and shouted surrender.

“Which dragon are you hanging out with again? I was sleeping quietly, and I felt a strange energy around you. What…… Are you a dragon slayer? Can’t you control the greatsword below just by looking at the dragons?”

“What are you talking about! I never did!”

“I never did that. Do you think I forgot that I played with Bingryong of the North Sea during my sleep last time?”

“Ah…… That, that first…… “

I shook my head.

Anyway, that bastard is too revealing about women. The problem is that all of those women are dragons and twisted s*xual desires.

It is said that when he was much younger than he is now, he lived like a prostitute, but Pir Haq’s temperament was still the same.

-You don’t get married.

– Why?

-Just don’t do it, you bastard!

Look at that.

Lucius isn’t stopping you either, he’s just watching you. Rather, it was a glare.

The joys and sorrows of a married man.

It’s too bad.

Still, since the opponent is a dragon, how fortunate it is that there is no chance of becoming a pong 1 pong nam.

There was a lot of talk about the sudden skyrocketing divorce rate when I was in the Dark Knight Order, but Dragon is a pure love who only looks at that person until he dies.

At the end of being held on the joints by the wife he loved so much and subjected to torture close to torture, Firhak could not stand it and screamed out loud.

“No! No! The reason I came here in the first place is because of the gold dragon!!”

At her word, Gold Dragon, she stopped while continuing her attack.

“Gold Dragon…… ?”

***

“Really.”

We led Persuscaron deep into the mine.

Perhaps the dragon recognizes the dragon, but as soon as it enters the area in question, the dragon roar that the egg exhales fluctuates.

Of course, the lore emitted by eggs that were not hatchlings was nothing to the red dragon.

“Dov, Kodaav. Zu’u los Zeymah!”

A simple roar that did not contain even the dragon’s power, the gold dragon’s egg no longer spewed lore.

I was completely overwhelmed.

“Wow…… !!”

“Why do you have this much?”

Our reaction bot leader exclaimed exclamation without fail, and Fer lightly shrugged his shoulders and threw his fist at the mine wall.

Quaang!!

Soon, the ground that was blocking your eyes collapses, revealing the hidden dragon’s rarity.

“Let’s go in. The mother dragon…… It doesn’t seem like it.”

Following her fearless strides into her nest, we immediately found a golden egg surrounded by something like a soft membrane.

And beyond.

There was the remains of a huge dragon that anyone could only see as the mother of this egg.

Huge ribs. It is a huge size that can be 4m even if you roughly estimate it.

Persuskaron looked at the remains of his brother dragon and bowed his head for a moment to express his condolences. Me, Xianne, and Pir Haq also followed her, bowed her heads, and prayed for the repose of her supreme ruler.

“…… How did this happen?”

After a series of tributes, Xian Ne asked as if she couldn’t believe it.

The legend of the dragon slayer has been cut off long ago.

There was a time when humans and dragons were hostile, but as the time of the Volibert Empire arrived, the relationship between humans and dragons became close to ‘inviolable’.

Besides, it’s a gold dragon.

I wasn’t familiar with dragons, but at least I know that gold dragons don’t have ‘greed’ unlike other dragons.

He possesses the power to turn everything into gold simply by roaring.

To them, treasure was nothing more than waste that spewed out of their mouths, so the Golden Dragon’s Lair was famous for not having any decent treasures.

Of course, the dragon itself was also said to be incredibly strong and strong enough to be called the Lord of all dragons.

A dirty dragon with little reward.

A wise, benevolent, and respectful dragon.

A dragon that never crosses the line unless it crosses the line first.

Thanks to that, I heard that even when the war between dragons and humans was in full swing, the gold dragon’s rarity was never attacked.

In a world where non-aggression pacts are established with dragons and some dragons are even worshiped as ‘faith’, what kind of madman would claim to be a dragon hunter?

When me, Xianne, and Pir Haq were all spouting unfounded guesses as to what caused her death.

“Loneliness. The dragon’s only natural enemy.”

The red dragon spat out a word calmly and pointed a finger at the dragon’s remains.

“Look over there.”

In the direction she pointed, there was a bone that was incomparably smaller than that of a dragon.

The remains were surrounded by frozen flowers that are said to bloom only at the top of the Ardaros Mountains.

Even the flower, which is said to have lived vividly for decades, was completely withered, so I could vaguely see how long this nest had been neglected.

“Gold dragons are unnecessarily affectionate… ….”

A sword stuck next to the remains.

And as if embracing it, the bent dragon’s remains.

I’m not so stupid that I don’t even understand what this scene means.

She was in pain because she couldn’t forget.

To the point of choosing her death, leaving her own offspring behind.

I swallowed bitterly in the feeling of being solemn.

However, as if possessed, Xianne murmured as she approached the sword placed in front of the remains.

From noble mtl dot com.

A silver sword that does not lose its luster even when everything has faded.

“This sword…… Dragon Knight Orgius’ Heavenly Sword?”

“Dragon Knight Orgius???”

As Xianne carefully grabbed the scabbard, the sword stuck in the stone floor slipped out like magic.

“Who is the Dragon Knight Orgius?”

“No, you don’t know the dragon knight Orgius?”

When I asked, Pyrhaq put on a bewildered expression.

What is that?

“He was a legendary hero who made a big splash during the dragon war. It is said that he rode a dragon, not a wyvern. A dragon rider in the true sense of the word.”

“That…… It has a bit of an impact.”

Actually, the dragon war wasn’t dealt with much in the original novel, so it was natural that I didn’t remember it.

I remember the original story sparsely, and even leading the expedition to victory was quite a headache.

‘…… Damn, thinking about it, I thought Levia was the main heroine in the original work, so she must have a personality. She was a complete asshole.’

I ended up thinking about the past and settings that were not pleasant at all.

Is this really PTSD?

Sometimes, when I see Xian Ne wielding her sword alone, I am startled.

Let alone useless thoughts.

I looked at Xianne, who was meticulously examining her sword, and opened her mouth.

“But how do you know if it’s the sword of Orgius, the real dragon knight? It’s already been two hundred years since the dragon war ended.”

“There is no way I don’t know about this sword. There is a fake in our family.”

“Yes? Why is it in the head family?”

She answered.

“My family’s distant ancestor is the dragon knight Orgius.”
