Chapter 89. To mitigate, and more (1)
(That is, that is the name given to me.)
The voice of Radenju, the dragon, continued.
(He is also the leader of all the dragon clans.)
The amazing story continued. The leader. Doesn't that mean the leader among all the dragons? He came to a level of understanding as to why the fairy queen sought out 'Reeses Radenju'.
(Not me of course, but my own true self.)
Radenju, the spirit of the dragon's leader added lightly. Still there wouldn't be any changes as far as being the same entity. At least about one thousand years ago, that is.)
"I've heard a lot about it from the fairy queen."
(That child did particularly follow my true self. Hard to believe that a cry baby like that has become a queen. It is amazing.)
"A crybaby….."
Ian suddenly stopped speaking.
Wouldn't it be the case about a thousand years ago?
She could have been a crybaby back then.
Yes, definitely.
'Although it is not fitting at all.'
That's how Ian had concluded.
Then he came back to the main topic of the conversation.
"I'd like to ask one more question."
(Speak.)
"Evantus, the dragonian, has a descendant. It was told that his descendants must be granted the permission of time, is that possible for you?"
This was the question regarding the lifetime given to them, to the descendants of Evantus, the Dragonian. Should Ian be able to provide a solution to that problem, wouldn't they be prone to follow more diligently, and wholeheartedly?
(That's impossible. My authority is limited only within this space that I cannot alter the outcome of the outside. However, if they fail to find my true self and the clan then it is acceptable to send them here. They can live endlessly, at least in this space.)
The flow of time is always possible within this space.
As such, if they wish to continue to live, do send them here.
That's what it was getting at.
"I will relay that message."
(Hm.)
It is impossible to resolve it completely, but the concern over the immediate death can be alleviated. Although it was said that the remaining life time was about one hundred years, that time seemed very short to the descendants.
"Is it impossible for you to surmise as to where the dragons, in the outside world, might have disappeared to?"
(I do not know. However, my true self should be alive.)
"How can you be sure?"
(Because I continue to exist.)
Ian was able to understand without too much difficulty.
If the true self dies, so does its spirit.
Wouldn't that what it means?
(And.)
The dragon continued to speak.
(Should there be issues with the safeties of my true self and the family members, there can only be two reasons. First, internal struggles as only its same kind can bring about harm to the dragons.)
It was a rather conceited statement, but was not untrue at all. Even the spiritual being, without any powers, is as powerful as this, how powerful would the real dragons be?
'They would be nearly invincible.'
That was it.
Most likely, an invincible entity.
No other description would be more fitting.
(However, there is always an exception. Eliminating the true self and the same kind, there is only one existence that can bring harm to the dragons.)
"Who is that?"
Ian knew the answer even as he asked.
It was the existence that has been continually mentioned.
It must be the human that speaks the dragon language.
Perhaps, it would be 'the first sorcerer'?
(He is the very human that had created the magic that you wield, and trained the dragons with the power of the language. He could be called the teacher to all the dragons, I suppose.)
"What….."
It was the most shocking thing that he has heard from the dragon. Although he had assumed it, he couldn't even imagine such a thing. How can a mere human be the teacher of the dragons?
"Is the dragon language a language of the dragons?"
(Have I ever used the expression dragon language, even once?)
Right, that was right, come to think of it.
There really wasn't. Definitely wasn't used.
It was only referred to as the power of the language.
From the first encounter and until now.
(How it was known to the humans in the outside world is not certain, but it is not a language of the dragons. It is only an indigenous language that has great power.)
When the dragon spoke that much, the landscape of the space of no dimension, made after the place called space, changed. Green pasture spread widely and multitudes of dragons were flying in the air.
