Chapter 150
After Dorgo talked about the succession for a while, we moved onto a lighter subject .
Then I turned to Drogo and said,
“Now, as for this water dragon settlement . I think we should head for it as soon as possible . ”
“Of course . There is not much time . ”
“Still, there are preparations to make, so it cannot be right now… But what about tomorrow?”
The water dragon settlement was on the edge of the kingdom . That put it quite far away from the capital .
It would still take several hours if Kathe took us .
So it would be too late if we headed for it after the attack started .
While it didn’t seem likely that a large scale invasion had begun already, we had to go as soon as possible .
“No, Mister Ruck . Please wait . ”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“There are things that need to be done first . I have to explain things to the water dragons as well . ”
The water dragons would be confused if humans suddenly stepped into their territory unannounced .
It might hurt their pride .
And so Dorgo needed to come between them and explain .
“I suppose you are right . After all, they had asked the Wind Dragon Ruler for help, not us . ”
I said and Goran nodded .
“Yes . The water dragons may not want the help of some puny little humans . ”
“No . I do not know about me or Goran . But surely they would not deny Ruck’s help . ”
I had no idea why Eric would think such a thing .
“Hmm . Eric is right . ”
“Yes . Even if they were not particularly happy, they should not be angry . ”
Kathe and Dorgo agreed .
“I don’t think that’s true at all… But I understand that you need time . ”
“Yes . Sorry to make you wait like this . ”
“Just tell us when you need our help . We will go at once . ”
Milka had been listening too, and here she muttered,
“But if Mister Locke leaves, won’t the capital be unsafe?”
“That’s true . ”
“I’d be quite worried . ”
Shia and Serulis said seriously .
“Eric and Goran will be here . It’ll be fine . ”
“Yes, but…”
“And the divine barrier . Right, Eric and Goran?”
I looked at them .

“I’ll have to brace myself…”
“Aye, I’ll give it my all . ”
I didn’t think they needed to do anything out of the ordinary .
As we talked about it, Dorgo said,
“Also…Mister Ruck . This is very hard for me to say, but…”
“What is it?”
“I heard that you put a lock on the palace of the Wind Dragon King, which I am very grateful for…”
Dorgo hesitated .
It wasn’t just Kathe’s house . It was the Wind Dragon King palace .
Perhaps there was some rule that I had broken .
I became worried .
“Should I not have done that?”
“No! I am very grateful . Such a secure lock would have been hard for even us to do . ”
“Right? A lock that Ruck put in place will keep out all of the dark ones!”
Kathe said proudly .
Her tail swayed .
“That’s a relief then . Was there some other breach in etiquette?”
“Etiquette? Of course not! Right, dad?”

“Yes . There is nothing of that sort . But…”
Dorgo hesitated again . I patiently waited for him to continue .
“This is truly embarrassing…but I am unable to enter . ”
“Oh . ”
Now that I think of it, he had not been registered .
“Even dad couldn’t get inside, huh . ”
“At first, I thought that there was no way I should not be able to go through if Kathe had created the lock . But it made sense once I found out that it was you who did it . ”
“That is nothing to be embarrassed about, dad!”
Kathe said happily .
“Oh, I am not embarrassed… I am truly sorry…but if you could also register me to that door…”
“Well, we must do it immediately then . Let us head over to the palace right now . ”
“Thank you! I will take you there myself . You must ride on my back . ”
“What! Ruck should ride on my back . ”
“No, he should ride on the father’s back . ”
“But…”
“Kathe, you already carried him before, haven’t you? Don’t you think you should let me have this one?”
After much debating, they agreed that I should ride Dorgo .

“I will write you a travel permit for the gate . ”
Eric said as he began to write .
This was a temporary one, as the official ones took time to issue .
And so we left the city and moved away from the walls .
There, Dorgo transformed into a dragon . He was even bigger than Kathe .
Then I got onto his back and rose into the air .
“Well then, here we go . ”
“Thank you . ”
Dorgo’s speed was intense .
“Ahaha . To think that the day would come that I would fly while carrying you, Mister Ruck! It is the greatest honor . ”
“No, thank you . ”
We reached Kathe’s palace in no time .
Once we were there, it was easy enough to register Dorgo to the door .
“It’s finished . ”
“Thank you so much . I will now take you back to the city . ”
After taking me back to the capital, Dorgo then flew straight for the water dragon settlement .
