93. Voyage. (1)
93. Sail. (One).
The way the ‘king’ is selected from the Siren race is very simple.
To be ‘strong’.
It should be strong enough to support the entire Siren race, and perhaps even more.
The strength is very relative, and is usually quite fluid.
It is primarily divided by innate talent. Depending on how you polished that talent, it will be secondary.
Just. Other races may not.
For the Siren, at least, being strong was a very innate concept.
Who has blood closer to ‘pure’?
Who is the pure-blooded siren closer to the sea itself?
All the power of the Siren race comes from the sea.
Even their unique magic-like techniques, the entire process of being selected as a spearman or warrior saw ‘how to handle the power of the sea’ as the top priority.
Because only the Siren who were chosen by the sea to be born could overwhelm those who were not.
From that point of view. ‘Raneia’, the successor of the current King of Siren, was a being close to a mutant.
The more powerful the power of the sea is, the closer the siren’s hair gets to blue.
In other words, the color of the hair is the symbol of a siren’s innocence and strength.
And Raneia’s natural hair was ‘brown’.
Humans usually have colored hair. Among the sirens, a color that might be one in a thousand.
A hair color that is almost acceptable even if it is said to be the exact opposite of blue, which symbolizes innocence.
Of course, there have never been sirens with that hair color.
All of them were born with powers that were subtle enough to be called sirens.
The weak deserve protection. That was the perception of the brown-haired sirens.
It was different in the case of Raneia.
She was born with the mighty power of the sea to be born,
Even though I have brown hair.
A power superior to that of any sea blue-haired siren.
The ‘king’ of the Sirens who saw it was in anguish.
Raneia was a Siren with extraordinary strength.
Perhaps, if left alone, he could succeed himself as king.
But the problem was her hair color.
The king is the strongest of all the sirens, and a being who must be able to sustain the race itself.
Obviously Raneia’s talent was stronger than any other Siren’s, but…… Because of her that her hair, there will be a lot of trouble.
Some might be disgusted with Raneia, who is like a mutant.
There may be people who continue to doubt her strength.
For Raneia to become king, she has no choice but to acknowledge them and prove her strength.
However, it was so difficult and so lonely that it would not be easy for a young child to handle.
One day, their guardian spirit approached the ‘king’ who was worried.
[What are you thinking about? Put it in front of her.]
Blue scales like the sea.
A being that has been with the Siren for over a thousand years of history.
He has been protecting the Siren race for a long time, and he is the last guardian of the source in the world.
“…… Dragon? Are you saying that dragons are in the kingdom of sirens?”
Recollection of Raneia.
When I heard that, I inadvertently cut off my words even though I knew it was not polite.
While listening to the story about Raneia’s hair color.
Because the name of an existence that I never thought of came out.
Dragon.
The existence that protects the source itself, and the strongest life form on earth that even the gods could not ignore.
They thought everyone was extinct.
Actually, the dragon didn’t even show its nose until a cataclysm in the future slaughtered a large number of people.
Of all the ones I’ve seen, the only thing related to dragons is Siela.
“Yes. It was the dragon who dyed my hair semi-permanently blue and created an artifact that hides the energy of the sea so I can go outside.”
“…… Ah. So.”
I was the only one who was holding ‘Knox’, an artifact created by a dragon, and I could see her dyed hair color.
Is it true that Siela, who has dragon blood, saw through her dyed hair, so she saw her original brown hair?
Then it was easy to understand the sudden change in attitude.
I don’t know what magic it was, but if the dragon dyed her brown hair blue.
Only the dragon can confirm that the original hair color is brown.
Anyway, this is a very interesting story.
I had never seen the existence of a dragon in the last episode.
After Siela properly awakened from the dragon’s blood, she rapidly became strong enough to deal with even her prophets at the same time…….
I wonder if that was natural because it was ‘Dragon’. Or, I wondered if Ciella was a special person.
No. Maybe it’s certain that it’s a special existence.
It’s not like it’s an arm’s length or anything like that.
However, as can be seen from her original appearance, Ciella is believed to be a mixed blood of a rabbit beast and a dragon.
It is a story of a dragon and a half dragon.
Then it should have been weaker than a normal dragon…….
Because Ciela was absurdly strong.
She nodded her head and belatedly reached her conclusion in a strange place.
Dragon is a being that has lived for thousands of years.
This mechanism was created about a thousand years ago.
In that case.
“…… I see. The person who said that she seemed to know about mechanical devices could not be…… ?”
“No. I wasn’t talking about the dragon. Of course, since he has lived for thousands of years, he would surely know if he asked……. Rather, there are people who know a lot about ancient history.”
Hearing that, I let out a sigh of relief as if I was at least fortunate.
Whew.
Siren wasn’t enough, so I wondered if I should ask a dragon face to face.
“Wouldn’t Proxia-sama be happy?”
“Not a proxy?”
“This is the name of the blue dragon, the guardian dragon. You think all dragons are dead…… If you know that there are still people of your kind, you will surely be happy.”
Well, if you think about it from the dragon’s point of view, it seems reasonable enough.
That there is no one like me in this world.
That would probably be very lonely.
I don’t know how the dragon race became extinct.
Especially because they are a legendary race that lives for thousands of years.
“Anyway. When will I ever be able to meet someone who might know that information?”
“Since you are the companion of the dragon, I want to take you there right away, but… …. I think it will be difficult right now.”
Isn’t that a simple refusal?
After saying that, Raneia put on an expression of sincere apology.
Belatedly, I nodded.
“…… But. Did you have something to do?”
What was the reason for even fighting the wizard of the Mage Tower?
To return the artifact of the Principality of Briseyton, ‘Triumph’, from the Empire to the Principality of Briseyton.
That was something that only Mystic Pirates, belonging to Raneia, could do, and it was something they had to do.
Since talking about sirens and dragons up to now, I felt strangely serious or smaller in size.
From noble mtl dot com
Anyway, it’s clear that it’s important.
“If we go from here to the Empire, it will take a good week. After reorganization there, if I come back with Triumph, it will probably take another week.”
“…… Then they say it will take at least two weeks.”
Lucia muttered as if she didn’t like her.
I could understand that dissatisfaction to some extent, but it was unavoidable.
It would be right to wait a little bit.
Well, it’s not like it’s a big deal if you wait about two weeks.
Shouldn’t it be better to stay nearby as if you’re on vacation?
It won’t be as comfortable as resting in the duke’s mansion anywhere.
Still, I found Siren, and the matter has been sorted out.
After nodding her head like that, Lucia, who was worried for a while, looked at the Mystic Pirate’s ship and asked.
“You. Are all the people on board that ship?”
“Yes. While preparing for the voyage, the Wizard of the Mage Tower came to visit…… Except for the captain, everyone should be on board the ship. The leader is taking a break from boating for a while due to his personal circumstances.”
“I see.”
So, if you want to leave right away, you can.
Raneia added that, but Lucia, looking at the Mystic Pirate’s ship, asked as if she wasn’t interested anymore.
“Is that the end of the ship? Well, how many more ships are there…….”
“That’s it. As you can see, it is a large ship in its own way.”
There was a bit of pride in Raneia’s tone when she said that.
Indestructible even against the monsters of the sea.
A ship that can be said to be the strongest and invincible on the sea.
That was the weight of the name Mispic Pirate.
What. It was also quite large when viewed objectively.
After saying that, Raneia patted me on the chest and pointed at the Mystic Pirate’s fleet.
“Uh…… ?”
I casually glanced behind her. I couldn’t help but let out such a stupid sound.
No.
The Mystic Pirate’s ship, which was behind my back just a moment ago and should have been there.
I couldn’t see where he had gone in such a short time.
When a ship departs, there is bound to be a sound appropriate to it.
That huge ship could not disappear in an instant without any sound or sign.
…… However, the scenery unfolding in front of my eyes was like that.
With the Mystic Pirate’s ship gone, Raneia could only stare blankly at the incredible reality.
“Oh, where did you go…… ?”
“Enough. Hold on to the mind I’m going to use magic.”
“Lucia, you——”
Before my words were cut off, my surroundings began to change rapidly with a sense of floating, as if my body was floating.
Sea to sea.
Go through the sky, and finally into the shape of a certain port.
A port.
Obviously, it was a port, but it was also a completely different place from Blueton’s port.
Since the sea is full of silver breakwaters, the name Silver Harbor was given.
…… It was also the largest trading port of the empire attached to the western sea of the empire.
And in front of my eyes was the Mystic Pirate’s ship that had just disappeared.
That means teleport.
It wasn’t just a teleport that simply changed the location of a few people, including myself.
A large-scale teleportation capable of instantly moving a huge ship.
Of course not all wizards can use such magic.
If that were the case, the world would have already been dominated by the Magic Tower.
Just. As if nothing had happened even after using such magic, Lucia stretched out and said.
“Two weeks round trip, right? Well, we have a week left.”
Raneia also belatedly realized that this was a teleport.
He came next to me with his mouth wide open and asked in a small voice.
“…… If. Is that person a dragon too?”
No.
Maybe not… …. Maybe?
