"That's it. Does anyone disagree with this arrangement?"
After deciding on the number of invitations, Oda Saori raised his head and walked around. Many people were very sorry, but no one refused such an arrangement.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. There will be opportunities. And after today's meeting is over, you don't need to be followed all the time when you go out. You can complete the task with all your heart and explore a different world. If you think about it,
You won’t be disappointed.”
After Minamino Shuichi's explanation, the expressions on the faces of the scholars and young investigation team members who were left looked better. The team of priests and shrine maidens who were also left behind kept a straight face from beginning to end.
Expressive face.
Participate in the king's election? Go traveling?
He has been locked up in a small building since he entered the different world. He has not found any clues about the tasks given by the Dragon God. What qualifications do he have to have fun?
Not doing business properly,
If it were not Lord Dragon God and Lord Son of God, they should all be punished.
'Thank you Lord Dragon God for your generosity. When you go back, you must work hard to learn magic. You won't be so useless next time.'
'Who are the government and the investigation team? Do they think this is a shared trip?'
The investigation team and that group of scholars were able to sneak in just because they relied on the official reputation and Mr. Saori's kindness and easy talk. Bastards must have the consciousness of a bastard.
Not only were the priests and witches displeased with the remaining people, but the scholars and members of the investigation team who had no choice but to be left behind also turned around and looked at the group of god/*sticks with ugly expressions on their faces.
The people who left the building did not know about the conflict in the building. They were riding on three dragon carriages separately, heading to the palace.
Horses do not exist in this other world, and the only animal power for freight transportation and travel is a creature called an earth dragon, which is actually a large lizard or a mutated Deinonychus-like creature.
A big lizard is just a big lizard. Using a word with a dragon in it makes Oda Saori feel a little uncomfortable.
Although they have stayed in the small building for the past two days without going out, other people who went out to play also brought a lot of useful news. For example, the Jealous Witch once set off a craze to destroy the world four hundred years ago, and was eventually destroyed by the Big Brother.
The sage and the dragon stopped and sealed it. Because of this incident, Lugnika chose to worship the dragon, and was called the pro-dragon kingdom.
In addition, more than ten years ago, the entire royal family of the country was taken away by a strange disease. However, the kingdom that lost its ruler did not fall into chaos. Instead, it cooperated with the Sage Association, the Knights, the nobles and officials.
He propped up the kingdom. During this period, he prayed to the dragon to choose his successor.
Naturally, the dragon did not appear. The person responsible for selecting was an item called the Dragon Calendar Stone.
The Dragon Calendar Stone will shine in the hands of specific people, and in the past ten years, four girls with different backgrounds and supporting forces have been selected to become crown princes. However, because the Dragon Calendar Stone records that the king selection meeting must wait until the five Dragon Priestesses gather together.
The gathering could not begin, so for ten years the entire kingdom has been searching for the last Dragon Miko.
Speaking of this method that does not have a search sensor function and can only respond when held in the hand, it is not surprising that it could not be completed even if it took decades, let alone ten years. A population of tens of millions
It was simply a matter of luck to search the kingdom alone. What people didn't expect was that by coincidence, the fifth Dragon Miko appeared more than ten days before they came to this world.
Sitting on the dragon carriage heading to the palace, Oda Saori recalled all the useful and useless news she had learned in the past two days about the world. The foundation of the entire world's extraordinary power is a power given by the world called protection.
.
From this point of view, the source of power is completely random, and there is no need to worry about the possibility of being blocked.
But again, the upper limit of growth is severely limited. It is undeniable that people with super talents can find their own path, such as the senior named Gandalf, which abruptly changed the impression that magicians are weak in close combat.
. But most of them are people with mediocre talents. Even Reinhardt, who is known as the strongest contemporary sword master on earth, his widely circulated story is that the world prefers that he will be given any protection if he lacks ability, and
It’s not that you have discovered and created a new path yourself. Maybe it’s just that your past opponents are not worth taking seriously?
From this point of view, although the growth of divine arts is slow, the foreseeable potential is endless.
(Regarding divine magic and air magic, this is Shinto’s own definition, which is the power given by the gods.)
The starting point is lower, but the foreseeable future is higher.
"Guests, the palace has arrived. Please get off the car and follow me to the King's Selection Hall."
"Please inform us if you need to leave during the process. If there are no accidents, please do not run around to avoid causing accidents."
The knight in charge was wearing heavy armor and made a dull sound under his mask.
Get off the dragon carriage and enter the gate.
The dome is more than ten meters tall, the walls are huge and thick, and the pure glass with high transparency. Tall stone pillars made of mahogany and white stone, with various luxurious gilt patterns on them. It is very similar to the ancient Roman style buildings in our own world. Left and right
In front of each pillar is an upright bust with a dragon head, and under the bust stands an armored soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp spear.
At the end of the corridor, which was wide enough for two dragon carriages to walk side by side, a middle-aged heavy-armored knight with emerald green hair stood in front of a huge door with golden carvings on both ends.
"A guest?" He reached out to take the invitation, confirmed it and then brought it back. In fact, he held his breastplate with one hand and bowed slightly: "I am the leader of the Knights of the Guards, Max. It's a pity that because
I am too busy with official duties to arrange for you."
"After today's king selection meeting, you will no longer be restricted. I will not explain the rest. I believe that your etiquette will not disappoint us. Most of the candidates for the meeting have arrived, please come in..."
On the surface, his attitude seems friendly, but secretly he is threatening.
Seeing that the other party's attitude remained calm and unchanging, even everyone would smile and nod to him as a sign of respect when they passed by him. Max nodded in his heart. He didn't know anything else when they met for the first time, but this basic quality cannot be displayed casually.
of.
The red and golden door slowly opened under the hard push of the two knights. The corridor that had been quiet just now was instantly filled with the noise of various voices. At the same time, countless figures turned around, one after another.
Either they looked over with good intentions or with eyes full of doubts.
