Chapter 52 – Earth Dragon Flying Lizard

-Flying Lizard’s POV who is thought to be like the father of dragons by the MC because of his calmness-

I look at the egg bed in front of me.

Inside, a Cerberus puppy is sleeping.

It’s quite weak but it seems to have recovered a little with the use of “Demon World Droplet” stone that his lordship brought with him. It contains the power of the demon world.

However, I’m surprised that there is a puppy of the gatekeeper of the demon world in this world.

When I first saw it, I unconsciously went into attack mode.

Even though it is a puppy, it is a being who possesses considerable power just like us.

It’s not an existence that we can just shrug off.

Though his lordship seemed unconcerned.

Moreover, this egg bed had a strange technique applied to it.

I tried to check it out but I was repelled by some force.

It’s a very troublesome thing.

「Is everything alright?」

「Ah, his lordship brought a “demon world’s droplet” so it’s a little better now. Though it is still unstable.」

「…….is that alright? This is a monster from the demon world.」

「Since his lordship deemed it okay, it should be okay.」

And I felt like it was wagging its tail at his lordship earlier.

As someone from the demon world, it is impossible for it to show affection to someone who has the power similar to a god….

This lordship’s mysterious charm may have tamed it even though it is from the demon world.

It’s the same as how we are fascinated by him.

「But to think that there are angels and the gatekeeper of the demon world here, what were they planning to do?」

Fluff Ball made a dismayed sound.

I agree with him but then, some information flows through my head.

We dragons are born with knowledge embedded in us.

It’s a precautionary measure to prevent us from destroying the world.

Strong power can protect but it can also destroy.

When a dragon is born, it is already strong and is vulnerable to being used by someone. If that happens, the world where the dragon was born might get destroyed.

To prevent that from happening, dragons have embedded knowledge in them.

The main purpose is to make sure that it won’t be used by anyone.

Well, that's what the information embedded on us is saying but I’m unsure if it can be trusted.

Children of heaven and a child of the demon world.

When I thought about these two, a certain knowledge flooded on me.

Ah, I really hate this feeling no matter how many times I have experienced it.

When something triggers it, knowledge will suddenly flood our minds.

Since no one knows when it will happen, it is often unexpected and very uncomfortable.

「What’s wrong? You look scary.」

「I’m okay. I just received knowledge about the children of heaven and the child from the demon world.」

Hearing me, Fluff Ball tilted his head.

After a moment, however, Fluff Ball’s expression contorted.

Apparently, he has gained knowledge too.

「Haa, so that’s how it is. “Sacrificing the blood of the children of heaven and the children of the demon world”」

「Perhaps」

In the knowledge embedded in us, it is said that “Sacrificing the blood of the children of heaven and the children of the demon world to the magic stone of fortune will give you new power”.

It is said that if you offer the blood of those in front of us to the stone called the magic stone of fortune, it will grant you new power.

However, I have no knowledge about that magic stone of fortune.

It is one of those half-hearted pieces of information embedded in us.

「Flying Lizard, I think the information is half-hearted.」

「Yeah, there’s no information about that magic stone of fortune.」

「That’s funny. This has never happened before. Is it because that thing called the magic stone of fortune is too dangerous? 」

「…..we have no knowledge of things related to the magic stone of fortune so I have no idea if it is dangerous or powerful. However, according to our knowledge, a legendary stone is said to be created by greater gods. 」

「Hmm? Wait a minute…..are you saying….the legendary stone that was created from the power of dozens of greater gods? 」

「Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. However, our knowledge about it is half-hearted too. There is no information on the name, size, or shape of that stone. 」

「Right, nothing comes out. Even the information about its use is blank. 」

How eerie.

If they thought having the information would be dangerous, they should have just hidden all the information.

Or they would have warned us that it was a dangerous stone.

However, all we have is halfhearted information.

I get the feeling that it is a part of some kind of plan.

I don’t know what it is…..hmm, I can’t even think of any idea what it should be.

「My head hurts from thinking too much. Come to think of it, what’s this funny formula? 」

Fluff Ball asked me while pointing at the formula engraved on the egg bed.

「I don’t know. However, when his lordship mutters something to it, it starts losing power little by little. 」

「Is that so? 」

「Yeah, if only I could understand what his lordship is saying. Too bad I can’t. 」

I tried listening to his lordship’s words but I couldn't understand anything.

I can only understand the name part.

By the way, the light when his lordship said something to the egg bed is very beautiful.

There is an indescribable holiness in that soft light that envelops the egg bed.

「Should we ask our companions to go around the forest to look for any suspicious stones? 」

「Hnn? Ah, the magic stone of fortune? 」

「Yeah, it will be hard to find because we don’t even know what kind of stone it is. 」

「Yeah, just have them report to us if they find any strange stones. 」

「All right. Should we check outside the forest as well? 」

「Outside the forest, huh. We’d probably cause a scene if we flew out so, how could we search outside? 」

「I guess so. You’re right. We can’t just fly around…. 」

We are the kings of the forest and once we leave the forest, it would cause a commotion.

I heard that there were commotions outside when Koa flew around with his lordship.

His lordship seems to not care about it though.

「Should we ask Ai and the others? 」

Ai, the leader of the garms.

Certainly, they will create the least commotion.

「If only Ai’s group will leave, his lordship will be worried. I think we should let the dire wolves and fenrirs go with them. 」

The fenrirs are a family of a king of the forest.

The dire wolves are also known as fierce forest dwellers.

Like us, they will surely cause a fuss.

「Even if it is only Ai and the garms, it will cause a fuss, right? 」

Well, the garms are also a power in the forest.

If they run around where there are people and beasts, they will be in awe.

Then, what should we do?

「Hey, the eyes of the child of the demon world are open. 」

Fluff Ball is staring at the egg bed.

Looking at it, one of its head’s eyes are certainly open.

That’s the one that ever wakes up.

The other two are only slightly moving.

As I stare at them, the give of the child of the demon world moves and our eyes meet.

We somehow ended up staring at each other.

「Ahhh!」

Suddenly, an image slammed into my head.

What is it?

It’s an image of a very big stone.

「Are you alright? What’s wrong?」

Fluff Ball didn’t seem to understand what had happened.

In other words, the image was knocked into me alone.

「I’m alright. The child of the demon world sent me an image.」

I look inside the egg bed.

The eyes of the child of the demon world who was awake are now closed.

「What kind of image?」

「A giant stone」

「Stone? Is that the image of the magic stone of fortune?」

「I don’t know. There’s no other information and it looks like it is useless to ask.」

Fluff Ball also looked into the egg bed.

Then, it checks the three sleeping puppies and nods.

「Fluff Ball, I’m going to send you the image, ready?」

「Yeah, please.」

I magically send the image given to me by the child of the demon world to Fluff Ball.

Fluff Ball shook its head a few times as if it had received the message.

「It’s quite a big stone, isn’t it?」

「Yeah.」

However, all that can be learned from the image is its size and color.

Why did it send us information about this stone?

「Does this mean that this stone has a problem?」

Fluff Ball tilted its head.

What is the intention of the child of the demon world to pass on this information?

Maybe it is informing us about a dangerous stone but why would it pass the information to us… its adversaries?

I look into the egg bed.

The current action seemed to have drained it of a lot of strength.

It won’t be able to wake up for a while.

Perhaps it will wake once his lordship brings it power again.

Come to think of it, why are there demon world droplets in the forest?

「The more I think about it, the less I understand this world.」

Hearing my words, Fluff Ball, who was pondering next to me, nodded.
