Chapter 152 - Let's Talk About Dragon Knights
In the middle of their journey to the capital, Kazane asked about the Dragon Knights .
As a matter of fact, Dragon Knights didn't exist in Zexiahart . There was no system allowing a player to partner with, ride, or tame a dragon and make them fight . She had heard that Jiraid was a Dragon Knight, and that he rode his beloved dragon when he came to Shirodieh City . However, Lightning Dragon Mordo had to wait outside the city, and since Jiraid immediately returned to the capital she didn't have a chance to see his appearance .
And Kazane knew that Dragon Knights fought while riding on dragons, could receive a power boost by wearing the Dragon Spirit emitted by their partners, and that there were many Dragon Knights in Hyvern .
「Well, it feels like that's about everything the normal person in Hyvern would know?」
Emily said after Kazane's words . Like before, the girl group was inside the carriage while the men group was sitting on the coachman's seat .
「Basically, Hyvern's Dragon Knights make contracts with dragons received from the dragon village to become Dragon Knights . The Dragon Knight contract makes a Path between the person and the dragon . Although it doesn't require a soul as compensation like a devil contract . 」
Louise interjected after Emily's explanation .
「Although they don't get their souls, from a certain point of view the dragons receive a considerably great thing from the humans they partner with . 」
「What do you mean?」
Kazane tilted her head .
「Ok . First of all, the Dragon Knight contract started after the war between the dragon using demon king and humans 600 years ago . 」
Louise so answered Kazane's question .
「That was called the Dragon Emperor War, right?」
Kazane also knew about that . That was because Tatsuyoshi defeated the demon king『Dragon Emperor Gairal』who used the dragons . Kazane had read a book with a basic history concerning that event .
「You're quite knowledgeable . Well, that war greatly reduced the number of dragons intelligent enough to speak human language . It was no longer possible to maintain the dragon villages . 」
「Ah, Ao-sama told me about that . 」
Tiara interrupted from the side . Tiara was well informed because Ao was an advisor to the Tsuvara Kingdom .
「Ao-san is that Blue Flame Ao-san?」
Louise affirmed with a nod after Kazane's question . Ao was the Player who had become a dragon that they had met in Minshiana . It seemed he had greatly influenced this world .
「Yeah, the Ao-sama we met in Minshiana . In order to rebuild the dragon villages, he devised a method to quickly transplant intellect into the dragons instead of waiting for them to grow enough to naturally gain that intelligence . 」
「That is the Dragon Knight contract?」
Kazane tilted her head, but Louise continued speaking .
「The Dragon Knight contract is generally considered a method for the dragon and knight to communicate with each other mentally, just like Kazane's Information Link . That isn't wrong, but there is another function as well . The dragons can acquire human intelligence and knowledge through the Dragon Knights, so unlike wild dragons, the dragons linked with Dragon Knights are intelligent and can speak human language . 」
「Oh, really?」
The Hyvern-born Emily looked at Louise with admiration . It seemed it wasn't a well known story .
( . . . . . . . . . . . . So they use human beings as learning devices?)
In other words, humans borrowed the power of the dragons and gave them human wisdom in exchange . That being the case, Kazane agreed that it could certainly be said that the dragons were receiving a considerably great thing .
(It really feels like something from another world . )
Kazane thought, but Louise continued explaining .
「So Dragon Knight dragons are quite different from the normal ones used for the Flying Dragon Services . Those flying dragons are tamed wild dragons, so naturally they can't talk . Well, a few people have personal relationships with dragons from the dragon village and become free Dragon Knights, but that number is tiny compared to the number of Dragon Knights affiliated with the country . 」
「Is that so . 」
In other words, there were few, but they existed .
「By the way, a Dragon Knight gives wisdom to their dragon, so the Dragon Knight's personality naturally influences the personality of the dragon . So the people chosen to become Dragon Knights are basically foolishly honest respectable people of character . Just like Jinrai-kun's son, many of them are stubborn middle-aged men, though . 」
「I see . 」
Kazane nodded . While rudely thinking that it didn't seem like Dragon Knights were very bright .
「Speaking of foolishly honest, my older brother also took the Dragon Knight examination, but it seems he was rejected . Although I think my brother is a splendid fool . 」
She was a rude younger sister .
「Hmm . That kid is a young man from Hyvern, but I wonder if it's a bad thing that he's a little too unreserved . A fool is a fool, but foolishly honest, or perhaps I should say, sincere people are desired . 」
Louise wryly smiled after Emily's words . After saying that, Louise meaningfully grinned and continued speaking .
「By the way, there are also people with another contract similar to the Dragon Knight contract . Emily knows about that, right?」
It was delegated to Emily, but just as Louise said, Emily knew the answer .
「Umm, the Dragon Mikos, right?」
