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

The hatch on the surface opened, and a black-haired young man dressed frivolously walked out. "Hmm~~~~ It looks like he's gone far away. Oh my, I didn't expect that I would run into him in a place like this when I just came out to collect intelligence. He has disappeared for eight years. My luck is really good."

"So, what should we do next?"

The young man looked behind him. In the seemingly small cylindrical cabin, a large black panther, whose size was obviously too big to be accommodated completely, slowly walked out carrying a person wearing a large tricorn hat.

"——Lady Scarlet."

The young man said such a name.

The man in the tricorn hat raised the brim of his hat and looked at Sieg and Setsuna who had already walked away from him.

"Let's observe first, and then..."

He took out a mask from somewhere, and after turning it around with his fingers for a few times, the man who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman smiled and said, "Convey the message from the Sun God Cult - [Invite the Flame Beast to join the Sun God Cult]."

16. Visitors from the Religious Church

Sieg was no stranger to life in the town. Whether on Gengami Island or in Tokyo, he had become accustomed to living in the city.

However, on this planet that is his home, he has not lived in a town for a full 13 years.

But to Zieg's surprise, he integrated into and adapted to this living environment, which seemed somewhat primitive to him now, quite smoothly.

"Come here, Sieg, this is the bread that was just baked this morning~~~"

The proprietress of the bakery on the street handed a basket of steaming hot fresh bread to Zig and said, "I'll also give you a bottle of jam. Yesterday, your wife helped me catch that playful brat. Thank you!"

"You're welcome, big sister."

Sieg accepted the bread and jam with a smile.

Before he could take two steps——

"Oh! You got up early today too, Sieg!"

The manager of another fruit shop not far from the bakery shouted as he threw an apple over: "As promised before, these are fresh apples that just arrived today. I'll give them to you guys!"

"Well, thank you!"

Sieg walked forward and took the bag of apples that the uncle had packed.

.......

This has been a daily occurrence every two or three days in the half month since Sieg came to live in this town.

This era is not like Genkami Island and Tokyo, which are full of intrigues. At least in this remote small town, the relationship between people is still very simple. Sieg and Himeragi just did some small things in the first few days after arriving here, and these residents would give them gifts like this.

To be honest, Zig prefers living in a small town like this rather than living in a big city.

After receiving many gifts from people on the street early in the morning and buying various daily necessities needed for the day, Sieg returned to his and Setsuna's home.

"Welcome back, Senior."

The timing was just right.

When Sieg opened the door, Xuecai had just prepared breakfast and put it on the table: "Thank you for going out shopping, senior."

"After all, we agreed to take turns." Sieg put everything in his hand on the table. "Today I also received a lot of gifts from other residents. This town is really hospitable."

"Helping each other is the quickest way to bring people closer together~~~This is freshly baked bread, and there's also jam. It looks like today's breakfast will be a bit richer - maybe these apples can be used to make apple pie?"

"Just do what you want, I don't mind."

After living together for more than half a month, Sieg and Setsuna have become accustomed to this lifestyle of pretending to be lovers. In Em's words, the two of them have become more or less like an old married couple.

But in the eyes of Sieg and Setsuna, the two of them didn't actually do anything special. They really just lived a very ordinary life. At most, they would be a little closer when they went out.

However, since Em said so, maybe it is enough to show off to Shenwei without revealing the truth?

(That being said... there's no need for me to go find that shorty just to show off.)

(Anyway, as long as we are both still alive, we will see each other again sooner or later. We will talk about it then.)

Thinking of this, Sieg sat down at the dining table, cut the bread into bite-sized pieces, and ate his breakfast while spitting out the jam.

After Xue Cai finished dealing with the things that Zieg bought, she sat down opposite him.

"What are your plans for today, Senior?"

"Anyway, let's go to the Dragon Hunters' Guild first to see if there are any new commissions. Although we just completed one two days ago and can spend lavishly in the short term, more money is always better. After I started making money, I realized that Miss Brunhilde really took care of me too much."

When Sieg lived on Earth-52 and Earth-94, he never thought about money. Brunhilde always prepared funds for him from the beginning that would not be used up no matter how lavishly he spent.

Although he had prepared some money this time, it was only after he started working as a dragon hunter and tried to earn money that Sieg realized how difficult it was to make money. The living expenses he received before coming down this time were the amount that an ordinary dragon hunter would need to complete more than a dozen commissions in a row to earn.

"I have come to understand how difficult life is."

"I'm very happy to see that you are getting closer to normal people in all aspects of your cognition." Xue Cai was relieved. "By the way, when I was on the phone with Miss Stella and the others yesterday, I heard that they had also found a place to stay."

"Is it?"

Just like the time on Genshin Island, this time the other people on the Crainhild were also scattered around the world.

"Where did they all go?"

"Ms. Stella and Senior Daohua are both in a kingdom called Lizhe. They have both started their operations as dragon hunters. Ms. Sarah is also here. I heard she is here to collect information. Mr. Wangma and Lady Ningyin have both gone to the American continent. It seems that they have observed something special there and are going to investigate."

The American continent?

To be honest, Sieg still didn't know much about his hometown. If he hadn't met Brunhilde, he probably wouldn't have known until his death that he was living on a planet, nor would he have known that there was an endless ocean at the end of the continent under his feet, and even another continent at the other end of the ocean.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the American continent. But since Ning Yin was traveling with him, there shouldn't be any problem.

"So... the teacher will stay behind this time?"

"Well, because Teacher Ed is actually a relatively quiet person."

Although she is known as the world's most vicious criminal, Edelweiss has never been a person who likes to take the initiative to cause trouble. If possible, she prefers to live in seclusion quietly.

(It seems that everyone has settled down here, so I will also -)

"Da da da!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zig looked towards the door: "Come in."

"excuse me."

The door opened, and a young girl dressed as a waitress walked into the room. Sieg recognized her; she was the front desk receptionist of the Dragon Hunters' Guild in this town.

"I'm sorry to come visit you so suddenly this morning, Master Sieg and Master Setsuna. The Dragon Hunters' Guild just welcomed a distinguished guest who specifically wanted to see you two. So I came to inform you."

"Distinguished guest?" Sieg frowned. "Who is it?"

"The other party claims to be one of the [Dragon Slayers] of the [Sun God Cult] - called the [Prophet]."

The dragon slayer of the Sun God Cult?

Sieg and Setsuna looked at each other, then nodded: "Okay, I understand. We'll go after breakfast."

17. Stop pretending, Scarlet

Dragon Hunters Guilds are usually located near the center of a town.

In this era when humans' lives are threatened by dragons, every time a dragon hunter goes out to hunt a dragon and returns with the trophy it is an encouragement to ordinary people. If a dragon hunter's union is built in the central area of ​​the town, the dragon hunter can let people see his pre-triumphant figure.

Of course, under normal circumstances, dragon hunters would not bring any trophies, after all, lower-level and middle-level dragons would die as soon as they saw the sun.

After having breakfast and packing up briefly, Sieg went to the Dragon Hunters' Guild with Himeragi Setsuna. Led by the front desk staff, the two soon arrived at a special reception room that usually only the guild president, town lords, or big merchants had the opportunity to enter.

As soon as Zig entered the room, he saw the man sitting on the sofa.

She has a very slender figure, and it is difficult to tell her gender at first glance. She appears to be a man, but also appears to be a woman with a relatively flat chest.

He was wearing a one-piece robe that seemed to be made of high-grade silk. On his chest was tattooed a symmetrical emblem that looked like a sun and a cross. His face was covered by a mask with a hollow circle painted on it. Only the lower half of his face could be seen, but one could vaguely make out that his facial features were probably good.

The moment he saw this person, Sieg was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise, surprise and confusion on his face.

"Why is it him?"

"Ok?"

Sieg's whisper was heard by Xue Cai: "Senior, do you know this guest?"

"...No, it's our first meeting - now."

Sieg sat down opposite the man and made eye contact with him through the mask. "Are you the one looking for me? If I remember correctly, you should be one of the dragon slayers of the Sun God Cult, also known as the Prophet, Bayin?"

"Do you know me, sir?"

Like its physique, Bayin's voice is also neutral, making it difficult to tell whether it is male or female.

Standing up and bowing slightly to Sieg, Bayin said with a smile: "Since you already know my identity, please allow me to skip the introduction and directly explain my purpose - I am here with a message from the Sun Saint, hoping to invite the outstanding dragon hunter [Sieg Fehr] who has recently gained fame and repelled the Roaring Dragon King eight years ago to the Sun God Church for a meeting."

The Sun Saint invites Sieg to join the Sun God Cult?

This sudden invitation surprised Xue Cai.

And Sieg fell into deep thought.

(The Sun Saint? The skeleton?)

Of course, the current Sieg has never seen the Sun Saint, but his future self has seen him. However, it was just a meeting, and they didn't even have a conversation, let alone any contact.

The reason why we know what the Sun Saint looks like is mainly because the Sun Saint has always stayed at the highest point of the Sun God Cult. If he stays on the Crinshid, it would be difficult not to see him.

The de facto supreme leader of the Sun God Cult wants to see him?

"...Is this what the Sun Saint himself meant?"

Ziggy asked, coming back from his thoughts.

Bayin smiled slightly: "Of course."

"I don't think this is something worthy of a Dragon Slayer coming here in person. If they just want to invite me, then according to the Sun God Cult's style of doing things, they should just send a team of Time Saints here." Sieg stared at Bayin's mask. "Although you and the Time Saints are both Dragon Slayers, I know that within the Sun God Cult, Time Saints are just consumables. They can have as many as you want."

Bayin: “…”

"I ask again, is this what the Sun Saint himself meant? Or -"

Sieg pointed at Bayone's mask and said, "Is this what you meant? The prophet Bayone, or... Scarlet."

——【Scarlet】

The moment this name came out of Sieg's mouth, Xue Cai suddenly felt as if something moved in the room, but after a quick glance around, everything was still the same.

"Chimera is here too?"

Sieg looked under the sofa where Bayin was sitting. In that not-so-big shadow, Xue Cai couldn't notice it, but he could sense it - there was a pair of wild-like eyes staring at him.

"What is Lord Sieg talking about?"

After a brief silence, Bayin asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Scarlet? Who is that? Did Sir Sieg confuse me with someone else? Besides, what about Chimera——"

Without giving him time to continue speaking, Sieg simply snapped his fingers, and the vibration wave that was emitted through the air immediately shattered the mask on Bayin's face.

Of the eyes that appeared, one was no different from that of a human, while the other made Setsuna quickly look towards Sieg.

It was the same dragon eye as Sieg's.

"Stop pretending, Scarlet. I recognize you. Although not now, my future self knows you and has worked with you before. I recognize all your aliases."

"The Dragon Slayer of the Sun God Cult is just one of your many fake identities. Your real identity is the Dragon King of the Winged Blood Clan, which was confirmed to be destroyed hundreds of years ago. You are the Winged King who can control time and space at the same time. The one hiding under your sofa now is one of your three subordinates, the synthetic beast Chimera. In addition, the slime is in your stomach, right? Gram is not there."

As Sieg said this, more and more things about the man in front of him emerged in his mind.

It has been said several times before that the current six major blood clans are not complete, and among them, the [Winged Blood Clan] was confirmed to have been destroyed hundreds of years ago.

However, although it was said to be destroyed, not all of the upper dragons of the Winged Blood Clan had been wiped out - at least there were two of them in front of Sieg's eyes.

"You're saying—"

“Wow————————!”

Just as Bayin was about to make another rebuttal, Sieg flicked his finger and sent out another vibration wave, which instantly pierced through Bayin's chest!

"Senior!"

"It's okay, Xuecai." Sieg held down Xuecai who wanted to stand up, took a look at the body of Bayin lying on the sofa, then turned to look at the door on the other side.
