The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

78. Dragon’s Nest (2)

The dragon’s egg was printed with blue polka dots on a white background. There was only one way to hatch this egg.

If you go to the dragon’s nest, ‘Atlan’, it will hatch.

And now, Arthur and I decided to investigate how to get to Atlan. As for me, I already knew the method, but I had to pretend I didn’t know, so I couldn’t help it.

We split up and asked people how to get to Atlanta.

Arthur asked people in the plaza how to get to Atlanta. The reactions that came back were usually similar.

I must have looked at you like a crazy person.

That’s because Atlan was considered a place that only existed in legends.

While walking around the plaza, a humming crystal ball rang. It was a call from Sepia.

[there… , where are you? Ethan?]

[The town square.]

[I’ll go there.]

Sepia and Vivian soon joined.

In the meantime, Arthur, who had been searching around for Atlan, trudged back.

“Everyone is looking at me with crazy eyes… .”

“What is it?”

At Sepia’s question, Arthur smiled troubledly. We briefly moved to an alley with no crowds. And there he told me what had happened last night.

“No, is that real?”

Arthur took out a dragon egg from his inventory. Seeing that, Sepia was suspicious. Vivian also seemed a little surprised, but said nothing.

“But then how do I get to the nest?”

“That’s what I’m really thinking about. hahahaha.”

Arthur patted the back of his head and smiled.

“Well, there’s one method I’ve been hearing about.”

I got lucky a little bit.

Not a question, but the way Arthur and Sonny went in the original story, a sailor named Ted Bernardo took them to the entrance of Atlan.

“There are rumors that a sailor named Ted went to Atlanta.”

* * *

There were many ships anchored in the port. There were numerous seagulls flying over it, and merchants actively engaged in trade were visible.

“Do you know a man named Ted?”

Arthur asked the sailors about Ted.

“Are you talking about Ted Bernard? Why are you looking for that madman?”

Just as expected. Fortunately, finding him wasn’t difficult either. Ted Bernardo was famous in this district. Because his nickname was a lunatic boatman.

“I have something to look at for a while.”

“That guy is Ted.”

At the place the fisherman pointed to, a stout old man was arguing with one of the fishermen.

“I saw it! There is a dragon in Atlan under the sea!”

“Yes, if you have seen dragons, then I have seen Belphegor in the Underworld.”

Ted had no evidence that he had seen the dragon. Of course nobody believed it. An adventurer’s bluff is usually inflated.

There were many cases of outright lies. Even if you only go to a nearby tavern, you can easily see adventurers who spread lies like that.

“damn. Still, Atlanta exists! On a stormy day, I met a dragon!”

“when? 20 years ago? So, was that dragon Leviathan? Stop talking nonsense and go to work!”

The one who fought turned back. Ted raised his middle finger at the fisherman who turned around.

There is only one condition for going to Atlanta. Floating the boat on a stormy day. It was possible to go through the blue hole in the middle of the sea. That’s the way to get to Atlanta.

“Hey, hello. grandfather.”

I walked up to Ted and talked to him.

“What are you?”

“Ah, I am Ethan. These are my colleagues.”

I introduced Arthur, Sepia, and Vivian to Ted in turn.

“So what are all the young friends going to do with the old fisherman?”

As seen in the original, he had a tough personality. Well, since I was ignored by people like that, my personality was the same as the day I was.

Besides, there is also a rather unfortunate past. It is the past caught by pirates during an adventure.

“I want to ask you about how to get to Atlanta.”

At the word atlan, Ted’s alertness softened at once.

“Do you believe in Atlan?”

“yes. I believe Atlan is real.”

“Yeah, but why do you want to go? That’s where dragons live. If you covet the dragon’s treasure, stop.”

After I got Ted to promise me confidentiality, I sneakily showed him the egg.

“What is that?”

“It’s a dragon egg. I came here because I wanted to put this back in place.”

“Oh My God!”

Ted’s voice seemed to grow involuntarily.

Soon he looked around. I roughly explained how I got the dragon eggs.

It’s not what we stole. The thief stole it, but we emphasized that we got it by chance. And now I’m trying to give it back.

“If that’s really true… … . What a big deal! Disaster will strike the city!”

His exasperated voice trembled. As Ted said, disaster was about to begin.

“what? The weather is strange.”

I heard people groaning. A new event was just starting.

Dark clouds quickly gathered from the distant sky, and the waves and current became rough. It didn’t stop there. Something rose above the water. It was a waterspout that extended all the way to the clouds.

“What is that? Something, the water is rising?”

“Climate control magic… … .”

Ted murmured at Sepia’s cry.

“Is this your first time hearing of such magic?”

“There is only one person who can use such magic!”

“Who is that?”

“Dragon. It is a dragon.”

Ted was not at all embarrassed.

Rather, he seemed slightly delighted at the appearance of a tornado that would prove the truth of his words.

Something was jumping on the raging waves.

“Are they the Lizardmen?”

As Arthur had said, strengthening his eyesight with magical power, it was the Lizardman unit. The watchmen guarding the dragon’s nest.

And now they are running into the city to find dragon eggs.

Kwakwang!

Suddenly, lightning flashed in the distant sky. It hadn’t rained yet in the port city.

Lizardmen troops are running from the horizon. The guards and citizens who saw it murmured.

“Lizardman, Lizardman!”

Hundreds of Lizardmen with tridents were heading towards the port.

“Guards! Guards!”

At the cry of the citizens, the guards gathered one by one in the port.

“emergency! emergency! real situation! It’s the Lizardman’s attack! emergency!”

The culprit, the brown thief, has already been caught. But there was no means to convey it. Because I couldn’t speak to them.

In the original work, Arthur tried to convince them for the same reason, but failed.

“Arthur, Sepia, and Vivian all prepare for battle.”

“Hey, Ethan, shouldn’t we have a conversation and convince you?”

“I won’t be able to speak… .”

However, it is a perfect situation to die from a pincer attack if you take out an egg from here. Even words will be of no use.

Even if we said we weren’t thieves, would they listen?

There was also a Lizardman who was hit by an arrow while running. However, it was unreasonable to stop them with such arrows. Arrows could not pierce the Lizardmen’s hard scales unless they had enough magic power.

The Lizardmen reached the shore before the armies could gather their ranks.

“Secure the coast, defend the coast!”

Soldiers with spears and shields lined up on the shore. We too were standing behind the ranks of the shields.

Before long, the Lizardmen and the guards clashed. Swords and spears collided with a metallic sound. Dizzy black light arose.

Lizardman’s line of retiari.

It was a class with a trident in one hand and a net in the other.

A net was cast into the air. When Lizardman pulled the net thrown by him, the shield soldier was entangled in the net and left the ranks.

I kicked off the ground and jumped out, breaking the net.

Surprised Lizardman came out and scanned the soldiers. I just punched my stomach. The Lizardman who was hit in the abdomen fell down.

Sepia created a wall of flames on the ground. However, the flame wall did not last long. This is because the rain that fell hard at the right time extinguished the flame wall.

“I need to borrow a spear or club or something!”

“yes? yes?”

Ignoring the soldier’s words, Sepia telekinetically picked up all the weapons that the fallen soldiers had spilled.

As it was, the spear and shield moved as if they had a will. The spear and shield hit the Lizardmen.

We immediately joined the ranks and engaged in battle.

Vivian swung the blade she pulled out of the air without hesitation. After all, it was a skill worthy of a battle maid for a weapon master.

Arthur and I went back to back in the forefront and defeated the Lizardman.

This battle had to end anyway. And this invasion is just the beginning.

Of course, if you defeat the Lizardmen, peace will come for a while. Peace is maintained for a day or two.

In the original work, Arthur received the second invasion without knowing why. The monsters that appeared there were just not at the level of the Lizardman Letiari.

It was a class 4 monstrous sea dragon, a sea serpent.

The spear and the sword collided. The knight hit by the attack fell behind the ranks and drank the potion. The longer the fight, the stronger the ranks of both sides.

When the shield soldier was taken by the net, another guard joined the ranks holding a shield.

Hundreds of Retiari Lizardmen were brave. But so are the fearless city guards.

“Don’t back down! Now the city is in festive season! We must block it at the port unconditionally!”

A fierce battle continued for a long time.

As time passed, the number of Lizardmen and military injuries also increased.

I didn’t want to release my magic at all, but there was no way.

Do you want to get rid of those who jump at me with a misunderstanding?

I cast magic on the blade. A blue mana stem rose. The soldiers exclaimed in admiration.

Linchester Swordsmanship Type 2, Sword Soul!

He lowered his sword. Powerful blue magic struck the Lizardman troops.

While I gathered my magic once more, Arthur lunged forward. This time, Arthur’s blue magic spread.

As expected, Arthur and I were in perfect harmony.

“what… , what the hell are those two boys?”

“You can repulse dozens of Lizardmen with a single knife… .”

“Lizardmen are famous for their hard scales! Besides, the breathing fits perfectly.”

it’s my turn again Arthur stepped behind me. The flying nets and spears were deflected by Sepia’s telekinesis.

I swung my sword once more. Powerful magic in the form of a dragon swallowed the Lizardmen in front.

It was fortunate that he shot his magic toward the sea.

If it was in the city direction, it would not have been possible to use it because there would have been numerous casualties.

Let’s cut it like that three or four times, and there were countless Lizardmen corpses piled up around us.

At first glance, there were hundreds.

Of course, there was no way he wouldn’t feel anything after killing hundreds of living creatures.

However, when the thief stole the eggs, someone had to do something. I carelessly returned the black blade to the scabbard.

“Have it done! We saved the village!”

“Two heroes, no, four heroes defended the village!”

The voices of the rejoicing soldiers came from behind. Citizens began to murmur.

“hurray! Long live the hero! Long live the warrior! They are warriors!”

“Idiot! look at that outfit! A Nadia Academy student!”

“Does it matter? If you defend the city, you are a hero.”

I gazed far away toward the sea.

The raindrops were weakening. But the sky was dark and the waves were still rough.

And the whirlwind didn’t seem to want to stop just yet.

– Sepia’s Christmas Gift –

“That’s me! Everyone, Merry Christmas! I want you to remember that I am the first heroine… .”

By the way, those lines and expressions were made by Vivian.
