I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

In fact, battles between dragons and humans often occur on the continent, but everyone will suppress the disaster to the minimum. After all, neither dragons nor humans want to be pushed out by their respective races as sacrifices to scare the monkeys.

The more he stared at Tifarian, the tighter Vera's non-existent eyebrows furrowed. In the end, he turned his eyes away like a child who had done something wrong, scratched his chin lightly with his free dragon claws, and spoke hesitantly.

"Um...actually, it seems we caught the wrong person."

"..."

"..."

Although it was a sentence without any murderous intent, it froze the entire valley. Then, the giant dragon with a deep scar on its face spread its wings and flapped them continuously. The airflow it created even turned the snow into a storm.

"What did you say!?"

"I say... we've caught the wrong guy... Ah! No, no, no, don't do it. Actually, it's not like we're not getting anything."

Vera continued to retreat as she spoke—now the other four dragons were staring at Vera with eyes emitting a dark and ominous aura.

Perhaps trying to find an excuse for itself, Vera's huge red eyes kept turning, trying to find a reason to convince its companions. Finally, it raised its empty dragon claws.

“Ahhh, I know! I know! She smells like that guy!”

"That guy? Is that the cloud you were talking about?"

Hearing Vera's explanation, the other four black dragons stopped forcing Vera and twitched their noses to catch the smell Vera mentioned from the air.

"...Yes, it does have a nasty smell. Willa must be telling the truth, but what does this have to do with our original goal of asking that demon for the magic potion?"

"Well...well...it's not our fault. This human was carrying the gift I gave the demon girl, and she also had a magic weapon forged by the demon girl. Because these two conditions were met at the same time, we mistakenly thought she was the demon girl. And she also had the scent of the cloud, so we subconsciously insisted that she was our target."

There was a hint of wry smile in Vera's voice.

"Alas, now that the mistake has been made, there's no way to undo it."

The speaker was the only female among the five dragons, also the smallest black dragon. She sighed and continued to add.

"What should we do now? Vera is the only one who can find the demon girl."

"Rather than this, I think it would be better to deal with the humans in Vera's hands first. Seeing humans reminds me of the past."

The black dragon with a huge scar on its face snorted coldly. The ugly grooves on its face were the marks left from fighting with humans.

"My dear, now is the most important thing."

"...Huh—there's really no other way, Willa. Let's go again. Without the magic potion you described, Dragon Valley will be in danger."

Faced with her companion's humble request, Vera flapped her wings embarrassedly.

"No, no, it's a rare opportunity to contribute to the clan, and I'm very happy. And I need you to help me beat that guy up."

"Ah, then let's go. Let's just leave this girl here and let her fend for herself."

Just as Vera was about to follow her companion's advice and throw the unconscious Tifarian out, Ella appeared in the form of a blonde healer.

"Hey, Willa! Are you looking for me?"

From the conversation just now with the black dragon, he had learned that the black dragons seemed to be looking for him, and their purpose was to get the magic potion from "F.Wing" that he had used on Vera. In his memory, he only used a small bottle to restore the black dragon Vera to full condition.

Of course, if Vera and the others had spoken of this in a menacing tone, he would have chosen to eliminate them as 'Entalosphiel' and rescue Tifarian. However, the fact was that they were sighing with a helpless and sorrowful tone, so they probably weren't thinking of maliciously robbing, but rather wanted to consult him in the form of a request. Therefore, even if Lotte and he appeared in their normal state, nothing would happen, not to mention that the crystals were already prepared in the warehouse to deal with emergencies.

If I think about it carefully, the monsters I have encountered since coming to this world seem to be quite easy to understand.

The sudden sound made the black dragons turn their heads towards Ella. Stared at by ten pairs of huge eyes, Ella subconsciously stopped, and Lotte, who was already filling Hela with magic power, also paused.

"Vera, it seems like they're looking for you."

After a moment of shock, Vera gently put down Tifarian, stretched her neck toward Ella—there was at least a hundred meters between Vera and Ella—and tilted her head.

"Oh! It's her, it's her! We found her! We found her!"

After seeing Ella's face clearly, Vera burst into laughter without any concealment.

"This is the demon girl we were talking about! She has a miracle potion that even works on dragons!"

The black dragon with a scar on its face slapped the grinning Vera behind the mountain with its wings, then took a few steps forward and walked to Ella's side. Honestly, under the enormous pressure of this behemoth gradually approaching her, if Ella hadn't thought that she could take out the crystal sealed with the "Lachesis Forbidden Spell" from the warehouse at any time, she would have turned around and ran away in fear.

"Villa, calm down—ahem, let me introduce myself first. I am Otto Nidhogg, a member of the Black Dragon Clan. This is my wife, Priestela Nidhogg, and this is…"

"...Um, although it may be a little rude, please wait a moment before introducing me."

Looking at Tifarian who was placed by Vera on the hillside of the snowy mountain, Ella coughed twice and introduced her in the majestic tone of the Demon Queen taught by Camisia.

"I am the Demon Queen who united the Eastern and Western Demon Territories and the sole heir to the next Demon King, Elelaya Nott Mistotin. Before I answer your questions, I need you to hand over that human girl to me."

Chapter 54: Conversation with the Black Dragon

"That human girl over there?"

The black dragon who called himself Otto turned his head and looked behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully picked up Tifarian and placed her in front of Ella.

"If you're talking about her, little girl—"

"Wait, wait a minute! So you're the Demon Queen, little one?"

Vera screamed in surprise before Otto could.

Most black dragons live alone after adulthood and do not have any country to establish diplomatic relations with. However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Humans discriminate against demons and hunt black dragons. In addition, there has never been any news of demons killing black dragons, so black dragons have a good impression of demons. The identity of the demon queen naturally surprised Vera.

"Vera, let me finish what I'm saying... Wait, please introduce yourself again, young lady."

"Yes, I am the Demon Queen who united the Eastern and Western Demon Territories and the sole heir to the next Demon King, Elelaya Nott Mistydin."

After hearing Ella's reintroduction, Otto froze for a moment, muttering the words "Demon Queen" repeatedly under his breath. Finally, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked up.

"So it's the Demon Queen! Does that mean Camisia Not Tilum is also under your command?"

"Yes, Camisia is my important partner."

After receiving Tifarian, who was carefully placed in front of her by Otto, Ella handed her over to Lotte. Perhaps because Tifarian was a warrior, she felt that she had a heavy feeling when she held her.

"Ohhh, since she's Camisia's partner, she's also mine. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet her again..."

"Hey, hey, Otto, now's not the time to reminisce! Little—oh no, Your Excellency the Demon Queen Elelaya, do you still have the magic potion you gave me the other day?"

Interrupting Otto's speech, Vera addressed Ella with an inappropriate honorific, looking quite funny.

After thinking for a moment, Ella raised her head.

"Yes, I do, but I need to ask what it's used for."

If it wasn't about saving people but simply wanting to use it in a critical moment, I should have refused. So far, I haven't been able to make the magic potion in F.Wing. Although there's still plenty in the warehouse, if I keep using it without replenishing it, it will eventually run out. So, it's best to avoid using it if possible.

Don't use high-level recovery medicine easily, this is very useful in boss battles.

Ella's words made all the black dragons lower their heads and look at each other. Finally, the only female black dragon sighed and explained.

"Let me explain. Actually, we—"

According to the mother dragon Priestera, although black dragons will live alone after they grow up, whenever they have wandered on the continent long enough and want to find a mate, they will choose to return to the Dragon Valley where they were born. The Dragon Valley gathers all the black dragons who want to find a mate, and the black dragons will get married and reproduce there. The reason why they go to great lengths to stay in the Dragon Valley to give birth is because it takes a long time to hatch black dragon eggs. When the male dragon goes out to find food, the nest left with only the female dragon will be easily targeted by human poachers. In order to prevent this from happening, the black dragons agreed on the Dragon Valley.

At the same time, since the strength of the young dragon will increase with the increase of the magic content in the earth veins when the dragon eggs are hatched, the Dragon Valley was chosen to be a place rich in magic. Therefore, there are also a large number of animals and plants that are worthy of being called treasures. In the past, due to its remote location and the fact that people who strayed into it would be immediately wiped out, the news of the Dragon Valley had not been spread to the outside world. Recently, due to the negligence of the guardian, the Dragon Valley was broken into by an unknown team of adventurers. Although they were punished by heaven as soon as they were discovered, they still escaped and spread the news to the outside world.

From that day on, countless poachers visited Dragon Valley several times, provoking wars between adventurers and black dragons. However, since poachers were often composed of characters of several different races, the black dragons could not find the corresponding countries to retaliate against, and could only treat them with a defensive attitude. As if they had agreed in advance, the poachers deliberately arranged warriors with superb stealth skills or sent magic casters who could use ultra-long-range attack magic to attack wave after wave, giving the black dragons no time to relax. Without rest, even a giant dragon will become weak due to fatigue.

Although it is not impossible to destroy the adventurers around the Dragon Valley along with the mountains, that would destroy the earth veins, and the existence of the Dragon Valley would be meaningless.

As things have developed to this point, most of the black dragons in charge of guarding are injured. In addition, it is quite difficult for black dragons to use healing magic, and ordinary magic potions are completely ineffective, so they have to seek external assistance. On this basis, Vera happened to return to the dragon clan and told the black dragons the news that Ella had powerful magic potions, so the current situation came about that the black dragons and their group were looking for Ella to ask for the magic potions.

Priestras sighed as he spoke, causing Ella to look distressed. Although she wanted to help very much, simply giving her magic potion was a drop in the bucket and could not fundamentally resolve the issue of the black dragon being targeted by poachers.

Because she had been holding her head up while talking to the black dragon, Ella's neck began to ache, so she lowered her head to relax a little and expressed her thoughts.

"But doesn't that solve the problem at all? Even if you have magic potions, it won't change the fact that adventurers will attack you, right? Plus, if you don't rest, it's bound to get more and more difficult later on, right?"

"We'll be fine once we get help from the Silver Dragons. Silver dragons are much better at magical warfare than us Black Dragons. As long as they're around, the poachers won't be able to hide. We need the magic potion so we can hold on until they can help us."

"Eh...Is that so? Approximately how many do I need?"

"As long as it's a number that your Majesty the Demon King deems appropriate, it's all fine. Once this crisis is over, we, the Black Dragons, will certainly repay you accordingly."

After saying this, Priestras lowered his dragon head, which was bigger than a house, and closed his eyes in a gesture of request. The other four dragons also followed Priestras's example, folded their wings, and lowered their heads in request.

"Is it that the more you give, the greater the rewards you'll receive in the future? Well, I don't have any particular desire to repay you, though."

Ella began to search for suitable magic potions in the warehouse that seemed to have no end. To be honest, it was too troublesome to search for specific small items in a sea of ​​countless props. Normally, Ella would not even think about it.

Although I sometimes have the thought of "Ah, I must find time to sort them", this is just like shouting "I must go to bed early tonight" when I wake up in the morning, but in fact I still can't help but spend time playing at night. It is impossible to do it in practice - to be more precise, I give up the idea of ​​sorting them just by looking at the sea of ​​props.

【96、97、98、99、100这样应该就够了吧……翻找小物件可是很累的啊……】

"Is this enough?"

Of course, even if it's not enough, I can only find 10 more at most. It's not that there is not enough stock in the warehouse, but I'm starting to feel dizzy from searching. What the dragons need are the low-level goods in "F.Wing", which are suitable for players below level 100. I don't use this kind of props at all, so I don't store it in a corner like high-level recovery potions.

Looking at the one hundred magic potions that Ella had lined up on the ground, the black dragons widened their eyes like trucks and put their heads down to sniff the ground. Since the magic potions of "F.Wing" were completely sealed, the black dragons had expressions that looked like confusion to Ella.

"It has no smell... could it be?"

"Pristera, it's rude to think that way."

"Oh, yes, sorry."

Otto turned his gaze towards Ella.

"Your Excellency, Demon Queen Elelaya, how do you use these magic potions? This is the first time I've encountered a potion that doesn't emit magical energy."

"Eh? You can drink this or just sprinkle it on yourself, right?"

"is that so……"

"Otto, just trust the little Demon Queen. I've used it myself."

Vera flapped her wings. She was very dissatisfied with Otto's hesitation towards her friend Ella.

Finally putting aside his doubts, Otto put the magic potion into his own subspace in one breath, put his legs together, spread his wings and lay on the ground, performing the highest etiquette for Ella within the dragon clan, second only to meeting the Dragon King.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Demon King, for your rescue. I pledge, upon the honor of the Black Dragon Clan, that I will repay your kindness in the future."

"Well, we can talk about thanking you later. Right now, I have two questions."

Ella twisted her neck again. The height difference between herself and the dragon was too big. It was a torture to keep looking up to talk to them.

"As long as it's not the most important secret of our Black Dragon Clan, I will tell Her Majesty the Demon King everything."

"Uh... I don't mean to ask anything that important. First of all, why did Willa kidnap Tifarian?"

Ella turned her attention to Vera.

"You're asking me your first question? Well... if the Tifarian you're talking about is the human over there, I can only say it was an accident. I sensed the gift I gave you back then, and she also had the magical weapon you forged on her, plus that unpleasant smell. That's why I took her away without checking carefully. I deeply apologize for the trouble I've caused you."

"No need, as long as Tifarian is fine, it's Vera who's in big trouble."

I have the impression that I gave Tifarian a dagger as a return gift for taking care of her cold, and Tifarian once bought the magic earrings I made at an auction. Since I have both of these conditions, Vera mistook me for me.

"So, my second question is, could you please elaborate on the smell of 'that thing' Vera mentioned?"

Otto was embarrassed by Vera's poor use of honorifics, so he pushed Vera aside and answered Ella's second question instead.

"Hmm... The sense of smell of demons and humans isn't as developed as our dragons, so it's normal that they can't smell it. Although it's very faint, that unpleasant smell is definitely on this girl. To be more specific... it's like encountering a mortal enemy."

"An old enemy?"

"Well, yes, although we dragons don't have sworn enemies, this is the only word that can express that irritating feeling right now."

Vera, who was pushed aside, added excitedly after taking over Otto's intermittent and thoughtful words.

"We, we know! That smell is the cloud monster that attacked us! And we also found traces of this smell when we went to Zeos City just now. The cloud monster must be hiding in Zeos City!"

"Vera, are you serious? Why don't I feel it?"

One of the black dragons tilted its head to look at Vera, but Vera just spread its wings as if in protest.

"Really! I can't mistake that smell. It's right here in Zeos City!"

"Jeos City..."

Muttering softly, Ella began to think about the monsters that had been displayed on the "Terrain Search" before. Since the monsters with a level higher than 40 were indicated by special light spots, it was easy to see whether there was any danger nearby. In fact, apart from the black dragon and a few humans, there were no other creatures with a level higher than 40 on the "Terrain Search" at that time.

Since she couldn't think of an answer now, she could only discuss it with Camisia later. Ella chose to ignore the idea of ​​asking further questions.

"I understand. I'll be careful from now on. What about Willa? What are you planning to do next? Wouldn't invading Zeos City be considered a disgrace by the humans?"

"Ah, it's fine for us. We just need to stay here and wait for that damn cloud to appear so we can give it a good beating. With human qualities, even climbing this snowy mountain wouldn't be able to fully unleash our full potential. Even if a quasi-heroic human came up, they wouldn't be able to defeat us. Honestly, with us here, as long as the other nations and the Sacred Academy don't interfere, we can even sweep across the Kingdom of Barris without any problem. Of course, that's assuming they don't bring out their massive magic cannons."

Vera laughed and patted his belly with his forelimbs. The fact was just as he said, dragons had natural advantages over humans. Although they were in a miserable state in front of the poachers, it was because the poachers took advantage of the terrain and had a certain level. Under this premise, the black dragon must also protect the dragon eggs from harm. If they were just left outside for a normal duel, only two dragons in the hero realm would be enough to deal with all the poachers.
