Former Dwarven Royal Capital: Feo Berkana

So, you retreated.

Were you followed?

I don't know.

It should be difficult to chase us down, since we destroyed the bridge.

Golems wearing black armor, huh?

I wouldn't be surprised if the dwarves had a few more of them.

So? Who do you think can beat them?

The Clan Lord would be able to win against them!

Want one?

No, thank you.

I see.

Clan Lord! Something is approaching the city!

Looks like they've sent someone after you.

I'm sure they've brought those armored golems with them.

I'll go meet the dragons.

Yohz, move all the Quagoa to the abandoned zone, just in case.

You mean...

I'll have the dragons fight the dwarves and weaken both sides.

Welcome.

What brings you here?

Yes. I see the great white dragon lord, Lord Olasird'arc, is in good—

No need for flattery.

Of course!

I've come today in hopes of borrowing some of the great white dragon lord's strength.

Enemies we believe to be the dwarves have come to threaten our home.

If the great white dragon lord would be to defeat them,

we can offer a fitting reward...

What do you all think?

Why not lend them your strength?

The dwarves are hardly a threat.

I agree.

You should instill fear in the hearts of those who oppose you.

I am both against and for it.

If they know we're here and still attack,

we should be wary of their forces.

But it would be foolish to sit back and do nothing.

I see.

Then I will grant the request of these lowly Quagoa.

Yes! Thank you very much!

You will offer me ten times that amount.

T-Ten times?!

Survive on your own if you can't.

P-Please wait! We will. Please allow us to prepare that amount!

Are you planning to go personally?

Of course not. Now, whose child should I send?

How about my oldest?

Hejinmal?

He'll be able to accurately estimate their strength

and negotiate terms that will bring you the greatest benefit.

Fine. Call Hejinmal here.

That's impossible.

He won't come out.

Destroy the door and drag him out!

Oh, my. You were the one who told us not to destroy your castle.

Are you sure?

It can't be helped. I'll go get him.

It's me. Open the door.

Don't make me repeat myself. Open the door!

F-Father! Did you need me for something?

Hejinmal...

I have a job for you.

The dwarves will soon attack the Quagoa.

Go take care of it.

Eek!

Eek?

I-It's nothing!

I'm not very good at fighting...

Hopefully, they'll run away as soon as they see me.

Hm? There's a dwarf and...

Is that a dark elf?

So small... Is it a child?

An elder lich?!

They're completely cold resistant and cast troublesome fireballs...

And why is he wearing such an expensive robe?

Ugh. My stomach hurts.

Our dragon nest is beyond this point.

Why...

Please state your business here.

Are you the frost dragon that's using the royal capital as your nest?

You seem a bit small in size.

I-I'm the son of that frost dragon!

This is really bad!

These people aren't scared of dragons at all...

Hm. Let me see how strong of a dragon you are.

Grasp Heart—

Please wait!

My name is Hejinmal. Please tell me yours!

My name is Ains Ooal Gown.

Why are you making that pose?

Yes! This is a pose of ultimate admiration!

I only needed a glance to realize that Lord Gown is a man of great status!

So you'll submit to me.

There are many uses for dragon meat, leather, fangs, and scales...

Hm? Stand up for a moment.

I see.

So, dragons survive these cold conditions by accumulating subcutaneous fat.

N-No, I'm the only one like this in my family...

I see. So, you're a rarity of your species?

Maybe so, Lord Gown.

Then, it would be a waste to kill you.

Are there other dragons?

Yes.

There are four larger dragons and fifteen smaller dragons my size.

I see!

Aura! I'll give you this dragon.

Thank you very much!

Then, I'll have it acknowledge me at its master!

Whoa!

M-My apologies!

I was so happy that I ended up peeing myself!

It can't be helped then.

I've heard about something like this from Ankoro Mocchi Mochi before.

She told me her pet dog always urinated when it got excited, too.

Lady Ankoro Mocchi Mochi!

It happens when they're overwhelmed with emotion.

Then, should we all be doing that, as well?

Shalltear, you really shouldn't say stuff like that...

Yes, listen to Aura.

If any of you ever did that, I would fall over in shock.

I'm so sorry!

Don't worry, Lord Ains! I'll never do something like that!

Hey. What are we going to do now?

Well, we'll leave the Quagoa to Aura and Shalltear.

I'll go with this little one and take care of the frost dragons.

Your Great Majesty.

Olasird'arc, my father and the strongest of frost dragons,

is in this room with his three wives.

So, your mother is one of the three wives?

Yes.

Your Majesty, can you spare his mother, at least?

Well, I will try my best.

Thank you very much, Your Great Majesty!

Calling me that is a bit awkward.

Address me as Ains or the Sorcerer King.

Yes! Then, Your Majesty the Sorcerer King!

The one standing upon my back is Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown!

His Majesty plans to take this land and rule over the dragons!

Boy, have you gone crazy?!

Dragon Lord.

I will allow you to live if you submit to me.

What the hell are you? A skeleton?

It's painful to converse with someone this witless.

Fool! I'll kill you!

Grasp Heart!

Hejinmal.

Which one is your mother?

I'll kill the others and use their valuable parts.

I am!

What?

Do you have a birth mother, a mother who raised you, and a mother who warmed your egg?

Th-That's right, Your Majesty. I have three mothers!

I see. Unfortunately, a promise is a promise.

Gather all the dragons in this castle and inform them of their new ruler.

Yes!

Hejinmal.

Bring all the dwarven documents you've collected.

Understood!

They've gone.

Your Majesty, why don't we open the treasury while everyone is gone?

You're quite the bad guy.

This is a precious item that can only be used seven times, but it can't be helped.
