Chapter 62: Ancient Dragon’s Past Story
After breakfast, when I was relaxing with everyone until it was time to start class, King Zeno visited me. He came so early because he had a vassal who he really wanted me to help.
I thought it was cool to see the king bowing for his vassals.
For the time being, I decided to go to the vassal’s house, since he was in a dangerous state.
The person lived in a large mansion not far from the school, but this is …
“King Zeno, it may be too late …”
“Is it really……”
He’s already unconscious and barely breathing.
My appraisal magic showed that he was in a serious condition.
“[Clean] [Aquala heal] [Aquala cure]. Can you take off his clothes?”
We take off his clothes because the smell was too strong, as expected, he had a bad case of bedsores. {TN: A type of ulcer}
But this is relatively easy to cure in this world of magic and healing potions.
I used [Clean] on him and the bed again, shaved off the rotting flesh with a knife, and liberally sprayed the affected area with an advanced recovery potion that was more effective than my intermediate recovery magic. As soon as I did, the large hole in the skin of his buttocks began to close up.
“Why didn’t you take action before this happened!”
“I’m very sorry!”
King Zeno’s angry voice flies at the servant who was caring for him.
“King Zeno, I know you’re angry, but no one wants to stay in the same room as a terminally ill patient with labor cough for a long time, I think he left the room immediately after changing diapers, so he probably didn’t notice. He’s not a care professional from the clinic, he’s a servant who doesn’t have that kind of knowledge from the beginning. There’s no use blaming him. “
It’s terrible to blame a caregiver in a world where you don’t even know how to protect yourself and may fall sick.
“He was one of my party members when I was attending the knight academy. He became a guard knight saying he would serve me even after graduation. He’s saved my life. The wounds on his back that couldn’t be healed by magic are from when he was slashed with a poisoned sword while defending me in a bandit subjugation … “
King Zeno stroked the wound on his back and told me an old story. Poisonous wounds leave burn-like marks if they’re treated too late.
“He’s my best friend”
I dressed him in a new nightwear and pour my master’s special potion down his throat to drink.
“Luke, what’s that?”
Iris, who was looking quietly, asked from the side.
“It’s a nourishing tonic specially made by my master. Even if treated, people die if they don’t eat. One bottle of master’s potion can give enough nutrition for one day.”
“Is it an elixir of the great sage Edward!”
King Zeno also took a bite, but if he heard the ingredients, he’d probably be turned off.
“… Zeno-sama? … Why are you here …”
His consciousness has returned, but he isn’t recovered and has a weak voice.
“You’re awake, how are you feeling?”
” Zeno-sama… Please get out of this room soon … You’ll catch my illness…”
I whispered to King Zeno.
“King Zeno, today and tomorrow are the turning point. He lives if he stays energetic, so please encourage him not to lose his current energy.”
King Zeno nodded to me and then screamed at him.
“How long are you going to take a break from work! Why have you abandoned your escort duties! Today I brought a recovery master who can cure labor cough! You’ll get better soon, so come back to work quickly!”
It’s a terrible encouragement, but it seems to have touched his heart.
“Haha, you’re the same as always, telling a dying sick man to get back to work. I’d do that if I could. ……”
The wording has changed to be more for close friends than for the king.
“This healer is amazing. He cured my brother’s wife Sasha of her labor cough in no time. And he’s going to be my son-in-law. Mifa was so in love with him that she said if she couldn’t marry him, she’d stay single forever.
“Princess Mifa? Am I really saved?”
“Yes. Labor cough is no longer an incurable disease. The rest depends on your energy.”
Huh? Isn’t this person’s eyes full of energy?
“♪ It’s amazing. He started to circulate his magic power. He’s probably okay now. ”
“King Zeno. He seems to have started magic cycling voluntarily. He’s probably okay now. Or rather, I don’t feel like he’s dying.”
After that, his family was called in and he was encouraged by the children and became even more energetic.
I treat the infected people in the mansion.
“Four people need retreatment, so I’ll come back tomorrow.”
I said that then left the mansion.
“Thank you Luke! I’ll definitely return this favor!”
I went around four houses this morning and treated them all.
* * *
I went to the royal castle to have lunch, but court dishes that made me and Iris nervous were lined up.
“Luke, can you really treat as many people as I want?”
“Yes, any number of people is fine. As I’ve said many times, I have a lot of things I want to do. I can’t just do treatment all the time, so please gather the people from the temple as soon as possible. “
“In that case, I was contacted earlier and the Pope and the saint will come tomorrow. Seven high-ranking surgeons, including two water attributes, will also be available.”
“I understand. Iris will accompany me, so please make arrangements so that she won’t be treated as absent.”
“Of course, this will be treated as a public service. I’ll talk to the school director so that your attendance won’t be affected.”
“By the way, thank you for your help with Diana.”
With permission from the school director, Diana can now take classes with us.
“I was surprised that the old dragon was having such a cute figure this morning. After all, Diana was the guardian dragon of the dwarf town of Garrel.”
“Guardian dragon?”
“Yes. It’s a famous story that has been preserved in biographies. Garrel is a town famous for blacksmithing in the mines, but until 600 years ago, it was a small temporary village set up beside the mines. The story begins when the village chiefs were attacked by a demon beast on their way back from stocking up on supplies but were saved by a large black dragon. At first, they were more afraid of the dragon than the demonic beast that attacked them, but after kicking the demonic beast away, they offered the dragon three barrels of sake from the wagon they had just purchased as a thank you for not attacking them.”
” Sake, is it? But with that big body, it’s more like licking than drinking.”
“It would be the case if she remained in the form of a dragon. It seems that the black dragon came to the village a few days after being saved. It is said that after landing on the village square, it turned into a beautiful black-haired girl. ‘The story of the village chiefs is a lie’, the villagers, who suspected that they had drunk the alcohol themselves, were surprised when they saw the real thing. They didn’t feel any fear at all for the pretty girl, and the whole village seemed to embrace her. “
“No way, Diana was tamed by being fed …”
“The story says that the black dragon was very pleased and blessed the village. It was beside a mine, so the crops didn’t grow much until then, but they did after receiving her blessing. It seems monsters were afraid of the aura of the dragon and didn’t approach at all, also the black dragon was their object of worship. “
“I’ll ask her next time.”
“There is still a continuation. Since then, she came to visit the village from time to time, and one of the villagers who became friends with Kyoryu casually said, “Have any of your scales fallen off? It seems that it was just in time for her scales to grow back, and he got a lot of scales from the black dragon’s nest.. “
“Scales? was the dragon molting?”
“Yes, but it’s not something that peels off like a snake, but it seems that scales will be replaced. So, weapons and armor such as the plate mail of the black dragon using the peeled scales are super hard and can be made into national treasures. It seems that the temporary village became a town with the profits, so it must be a great item. “
“♪ Zeno wants some scales that have fallen out.”
“Are there some in Diana’s nest? 』\
“♪ There are quite a few. She only brought treasure, so let’s go collect it quickly. “
“I’ll go to the nest next time. If there is, I’d want a black plate mail or something that looks cool.”
“That’s right! I’m sure it will be absolutely cool! It’s said that the black dragon has stopped visiting since the village chief died, but since dwarves are a long-lived race like elves, those who were children at that time will still be alive. Wouldn’t it be nice to visit once? I think a good dwarf craftsman will process it if you bring the scales. ” (King Zeno)
“Sure. If I have scales, it would be fun to visit with Diana.”
This story is a biography of the ancient dragon, not a story of Diana who was a drake, but if a part of her memory has fused like me, Diana now probably has some feelings for the town.
In the afternoon, I plan to visit the royal castle and the houses related to the women.
Mr. Zeno advised me to take good care of the tea party members.
TN: Thanks for reading thus far. The web novel is presently on hiatus, probably cause the author is working on the light novel version. I’ll keep checking for updates but even if he doesn’t, I plan to translate the LN when available. If you’ve enjoyed the novel thus far, I’d appreciate it if you show some love by buying me a coffee. Thanks for reading!
