Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Hearing Em say this, Sieg tilted his head in confusion - did he do something wrong? But from what he remembered, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong?

"......sorry."

"I haven't said anything yet, why are you apologizing?"

"Because I think I did something wrong, right? Then I must apologize."

"..."

Looking at Sieg's straightforward expression, Em covered her face and sighed angrily: "I'm talking to you~~~~Alas... I really support the Dragon Slayer System plan now. You really should turn into a child and live your life again on another planet!"

"Anyway, go sit over there. Although I think that Sister Hill should talk to you about this matter, Sister Hill has always been centered on the contractors and will definitely not talk about you, so I will do it for you."

24. The Killed Light Source Project

After seeing Sieg sitting down obediently, Em also sat down opposite him.

Then there was applause.

"First of all, let me praise you. Being able to kill that dragon is an outstanding achievement for a newcomer who has only been under the Dragon Slayer System for a month. Considering the goal of the Dragon Slayer System alone, you have surpassed the vast majority of contractors."

After all, many contractors have had dragons killed in their lifetime.

How could someone like Sieg kill so many right at the start?

"But! I have to say but!"

"Your fighting method really shows that you are not afraid of death! Who on earth taught you this? It's no different from self-destruction!"

Fighting method?

Sieg frowned. "No one taught me. I just figured it out on my own. Uh... it's not right to say I figured it out. I should say I just did whatever I felt was convenient, right?"

"What about not dodging the enemy's attacks and taking them all?"

"As long as you are careful not to get fatally wounded, you can deal a fatal blow faster by taking damage, right?" Sieg asked in return. "Besides, my regeneration ability is very strong. Although I don't know why I can't be killed, this is actually quite useful."

Very useful?

Em was stunned by Sieg's simple idea and way of thinking.

"You...don't feel any pain?"

"Of course it hurts. Now that I think about it, I feel like the place where I was pierced still hurts a little..."

Sieg, who was sitting there, said this while covering his body and shivering slightly.

Brunhilde quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Sieg, are you still feeling unwell? I'll take you to see a doctor right away."

"No... I've recovered physically, I just have some phantom pain." Sieg shook his head, "No need for treatment, really, just a little slowness will do. It's not like I haven't been stabbed before."

"...So, you are fully aware of the drawbacks of your self-destructive fighting method, but you still insist on fighting like this?" Em frowned. "You really don't care about your life. You rely on your immortal body to do whatever you want. I have seen too many idiots who have gone insane because of this."

Even if you are immortal, it doesn't mean you can't feel pain.

If you rely on your immortal body frequently, sooner or later you will no longer feel pain, and then lose more senses, and finally become a living dead who can hardly perceive the world - Em has seen this situation before.

"But it's quite convenient to kill dragons this way. Besides, it only hurts a little, so just bear with it."

"..."

Just bear with it?!

【Lord Sieg】

Just when Em was about to say something, Brunhilde spoke first.

[I think Sieg's idea is correct. Since it is a method that is conducive to killing dragons, it is the right method. Sieg's willpower to sacrifice himself to kill dragons time and time again is a strong spirit that few contractors in the past have.]

[But Lord Sieg, not all dragons require you to fight them with the intention of sacrificing your life. For example, the lower-ranked dragons that you treat as food. In your opinion, it is a very cost-effective exchange to pay a little wound in exchange for a fatal blow. With your strength, it must be easy to dodge the attack and win by counterattacking after spending a little more strength, and it only takes one or two seconds at most.]

"...Ms. Brunhilde and Ms. Em think that I shouldn't abuse this fighting method?"

"Anyone with a normal brain wouldn't think of using it this way, right? Take good care of your body!" Em poked Sieg's forehead hard. "If you're fighting against guys who are much stronger than you, then your fighting style is completely acceptable. After all, the awareness of sacrificing one's life is often the key to defeating a strong enemy."

"But you don't have to fight so hard to clean up the trash, right?"

(Seems like... makes some sense?)

If you think about it carefully, it's not that Sieg can't dodge the attacks of the lower dragons, it's just that he's just too lazy to dodge sometimes.

"I...I see. If that's the case, I'll try to correct it after that."

"Don't try. Be honest and harden your heart to change this bad habit. You must hide when Sister Hill tells you to hide. Remember to supervise Sister Hill."

[I don’t need to follow Em’s advice]

Brunhilde said.

[But this is indeed beneficial to Sieg-sama, so I will make a correction plan through the Dragon Slayer System later, and please follow the plan for special training. Of course, cultural learning and magic training cannot be left behind. ]

"Uh...I...I feel like I'm too busy?"

[Compress your sleep time to four hours a day, and the rest of the time can be evenly distributed]

"......"

Terrible.

He obviously risked his life to kill Jackie Chan, but why doesn't Ziggy feel any joy at all now?

"Speaking of which, Miss Em just said that I stayed in the bathroom for two days? Did anything happen during that time? I remember that a girl was attacked by Jackie Chan before?"

[If you mean the Princess Laksha, she is currently sleeping in the medical room of the Klingshid. Since Lord Sieg did not issue any orders, I took the initiative to hypnotize Princess Laksha based on the relevant concealment principles. This is also to prevent the Klingshid from being exposed. Do I need to wake her up? ]

"...... Not yet. The Clinhilde should not be exposed. Miss Brunhilde did the right thing. Is there anything else?"

[How should Princess Laksha be placed? ]

Brunhilde asked.

[Do we need the Crimsheed to find the nearest town and send her there? Or should we leave her on the Crimsheed?]

"Why don't you leave it to me?"

A somewhat perverted smile appeared on Em's face.

"Although she's still a little girl, I can see that she has great potential. If she's developed well, she'll be a little beauty~~~I haven't tried the training method for a long time, guhehehehe~~~"

[Lord Em, please calm down]

Brunhilde took out the whip that she had used to whip Em from somewhere and whipped her chest with five lightning lashes.

"Ahh?~~~~Keep going! Harder, Sister Hill! Can you spank my butt this time?"

[Please be careful, Master Em.]

"Sister Hill, don't just tease me once! If you want to do it, do it all!"

[Please don't rush over, Master Em]

"..."

Looking at Em who was pestering Brunhilde again, Sieg silently took a few steps back and said, "Then... Miss Em will be left to you. Miss Brunhilde, I will go get the princess out of the Kreinhild first. Also... I have something I want to tell you later."

[Okay, Master Sieg]

"Whoa!"

While answering Sieg, Brunhilde also hit Em's neck with a knife. Looking at the degree of bending... it feels like it's broken.

(So, what is the relationship between the two of them?)

25. Wait until I ascend the throne

Laksha woke up with a tremor.

Just like when driving through an uneven road, the bumps slowly woke Laksha up. The moment she opened her eyes, the red-haired girl caught her eye for the first time.

It was a bright red color like a flame.

This is certainly not the color of Laksha's hair, and coupled with this bumpy feeling...

(Am I... being carried by someone?)

It seems to be the case?

But why was she carried on someone's back? And why did she fall asleep?

There was a sense of emptiness in the memory, which made Laksha feel a little scared. Perhaps he sensed the movement behind him, but Sieg, who was carrying Laksha on his back, slowed down his pace and turned around: "Are you awake?"

"Eh? Uh... yeah."

"That's great. Wait a minute. I'll find a place to put you down."

After finding a relatively flat stone on the side of the road, he squatted down to put Laksha down from his body, and then stretched his arms and neck: "I'm sorry, because I found you fainted on the side of the road before, and I thought it was not good to leave a girl like you in the wild, so I took the initiative to carry you here."

"Are you feeling unwell right now? I checked you and you don't have any external injuries, but if you feel unwell, please tell me directly."

"......No."

After touching his body a bit, Laksha shook his head, "Also, thank you for saving me... By the way! Where are the other two people with me? Excuse me, did you see them?"

The other two people?

Sieg thought for a moment and shook his head, "No. When I found you, there was nothing beside you except a broken car. Judging from the situation there, you must have been attacked by a group of dragons, and they were probably middle-level dragons. It's really unfortunate."

"However, you are lucky to be alive. Although I don't know what a girl like you is doing in such a remote border area, for your safety, it's better not to do this in the future."

Sieg pointed to the city wall not far away and said, "That's the nearest town. The rest are not far away. There are no dragons that will attack here. You will go back by yourself. I don't like getting close to human gatherings, so I won't continue to send you."

After saying that, Sieg stood up and prepared to leave along the same path he came.

(Hmm... I guess that's correct, right? I've memorized the speech that Brunhilde-san prepared for me... Is that enough?)

[Take Laksha away from the Kreinhild and send her to the nearest town, and try not to let her notice anything unusual] - this is how Sieg decided to place Laksha. And since Brunhilde and Em were better off not showing up in front of Laksha, Sieg had no choice but to do it.

Of course, just as Sieg thought, in order to dispel Laksha's doubts, Brunhilde prepared a speech for him who was not good at speaking, and he just had to memorize it temporarily to deal with it.

Watching Sieg's departure, Laksha quickly stood up and shouted, "Wait, wait a minute! Please wait a minute! Um... So, you saved me from the dragons? Are you a dragon hunter? And this is the border... Could it be that you are the dragon hunter on the border? The dragon hunter in the legend?"

The legendary dragon hunter?

Who is that?

"...I don't know who you are talking about. Maybe you recognized the wrong person? Goodbye then."

(This is not part of Ms. Brunhilde's prepared speech. Answering like this... won't make her suspicious?)

(Let’s go quickly.)

Thinking of this, Sieg quickened his pace and unknowingly widened the distance between him and Laksha. From Laksha's perspective, Sieg ran a long distance in just one or two blinks of an eye, making it impossible for others to catch up.

(He runs so fast... The dragon hunter on the border... That must be him, right?)

Thinking of this, Laksha couldn't help but chase forward a few steps: "Thank you, thank you for saving me! Dragon Hunter from the border! My name is Laksha! The sixth princess of this country! Laksha! Did you hear me?"

"Then...then...after I become the king of this country, I will come to you again! Or I will come to you before that! Dragon Hunter of the Border!"

(......ah?)

Sieg turned around and looked at it with some confusion.

What did she mean by this? Why did she come to him after becoming the king? I was confused.

But, it seems that there is no need to understand it?

"clatter!"

The speed of leaving increased again, and this time, before Laksha could react at all, Sieg completely disappeared from her sight.

Staring at the direction where Sieg left from afar, Laksha, who was breathing slightly, clenched the clothes on his chest with both hands: "He should have heard it, right? Should...heard it, right? By the way, is it weird for me to say such a thing all of a sudden?"

"But... he is exactly what I am looking for - if I want to ascend the throne, I really need someone like him."

"only......."

Looking at himself standing there alone, and recalling the two soldiers who had followed him before, a trace of gloom flashed across Laksha's face.

We had agreed to go back together. During the past few days of traveling together, Laksha also valued the two soldiers who followed him, but now...

(Anyway, let’s find a way to get back first.)

(But... I don't have any valuables on me, how am I supposed to get back?)
