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

"I'm tired of watching low-level dragons, middle-level dragons, and those boring dragon hunters. Next, I'm going to find something more exciting." Shenwei said, "I plan to go to Hell Valley."

Hearing this place name, Zigg's pupils trembled: "Are you serious?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever joked before? But you also know where it is?"

"Of course I know. After all, it's very famous."

——[Hell Valley].

For dragon hunters, it is one of the places that must be known, because it is the well-known "Hell", a devil's cave within a devil's cave.

Geographically speaking, Hell Valley is located in the east of the country where Sieg is currently located. It is a super-large canyon that stretches from northwest to southeast, with no idea where its end is. It is like a crack engraved on the earth.

And that is the most brutal battlefield between humans and dragons known to us so far.

It is said that there are not only high-ranking dragons in the dragon clan, but also monsters among humans who can defeat high-ranking dragons alone. Even a first-class dragon hunter is no different from cannon fodder there. If you just want to be a dragon hunter, then don't go near there for the rest of your life.

After all, the dragons hunted by dragon hunters are at most middle-level dragons. As for dragons before that level, dragon hunters are helpless.

Now Shenwei says he wants to go to Hell Valley?

"You really don't want to live anymore."

"Don't want to live? Hahaha! Do you really think there is any value in our living in this world?"

Shenwei asked back with a laugh.

"No one wants me to live. Even when I was born, everyone was cursing me to death. So how I use my life is up to me. Whether I live or die, the value of this life is determined by me."

"You too, right? You red-haired bastard."

Grabbing Sieg's collar, Shenwei grinned and said, "I don't know many people, and I don't recognize many people. You can barely be counted as one. Although it's a spur-of-the-moment idea, I think it would be nice if you could go with me to Hell Valley and make a scene."

"No thanks. I'm not interested in going to hell with you."

Pushing away Shenwei's hand, Sieg sighed, "Besides, if you stay with me for too long, even you will die - I don't want you to die in front of me. If you want to die, die where I can't see you. In this case, Hell Valley is indeed a very suitable place."

"Tsk, you really dare to say that, you stupid red-haired guy."

After brushing off the dust on himself, Shenwei kicked Sieg's butt hard and said, "Forget it, if you are not interested, then you are not interested. I will go by myself. Whether it is the upper dragon of the Roaring Blood Clan or the dragon slayer of the Sun God Cult, I really hope that they can bring me a better sense of reality than you."

"Ahhh~~~I know, I know, just get out of here right now."

Sieg impatiently kicked Shenwei's head.

Covering the back of his head, Shenwei turned around with an annoyed look: "Where the hell are you kicking!"

"Head, are you stupid?"

"You want to take advantage of this, right? Just wait for me, when I come back from Hell Valley, I'll kick you to death!"

"Okay, provided you can come back from wherever you are - get lost if you're fine."

Sizzle————————!

As soon as Sieg finished speaking, Shenwei turned into a flash of lightning and rushed into the distance, while not forgetting to throw a lightning gun at Sieg.

(That damn dwarf...)

10. Roar, Wings and Claws

As agreed with Brunhilde, Sieg returned to the Kreinhild not long after Kamui left.

【Welcome back, Master Sieg】

As she entered the cabin, Brunhilde seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and she immediately offered Sieg greetings on her return home.

【Thank you for your hard work today】

"...Do you know what I went out to do?"

[Yes, because you have signed a contract with the Dragon Slayer System, your daily activities will be recorded and saved in the database of the Clinshid - you are really energetic. You fought so hard for a whole day on an empty stomach. It is really amazing.]

[Dinner is ready, please follow me]

"Well, I really trouble you."

Led by Brunhilde, Sieg soon arrived at the restaurant.

The Kreinhild has a separate large dining room, which gives people the feeling of a dragon hunters' guild hall, but the interior layout, decoration and other aspects are far superior to that one. According to Brunhild, it can accommodate up to 100 people dining together.

Of course, the maximum number of crew members on the Crainsheed was less than 30.

Today's dinner was grilled steaks from a lower dragon. Since Sieg had a big appetite and hadn't eaten all day, Brunhilde prepared five full pieces and drizzled them with a special sauce made from ingredients Sieg had never heard of.

It also comes with a large plate of spiral noodles and a sunny-side-up fried egg, and the drinks are freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice.

"Boom!"

The portion, which seemed a bit too much for one person, was placed in front of Sieg.

Without using a knife and fork, Sieg grabbed a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth and started to bite it. After all, he was really hungry. Brunhilde also sat opposite Sieg and said while watching him eat:

[If possible, please allow me to report today's work progress while you eat, Lord Sieg]

"Woooooooo~~~!"

Sieg whimpered a few times and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

【OK】

[First, the repair work of the Crimsheed was completed at 17:53, which was earlier than expected. The Crimsheed is now intact and can set sail again at any time.]

[Due to the repair of the Clinshid, many functions that had been disabled for the past month have been reactivated. Based on the convenience and needs of the current situation, I recommend that Lord Sieg experience the projection map and personal information summary, as well as the weapons-related parts after the meal.]

"Goooooooo... Ugh - a map?"

After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Zigg asked curiously, "Where's the map?"

[Every planet that the Klingshid has visited so far, as well as the planet that the Klingshid is currently stranded on - after all, when landing on a new planet, the first thing you need to understand is the current planet's environment. Although the Dragon Slayer system also has its own environmental monitoring function, the Klingshid can complete the mapping of the entire planet's surface terrain within five minutes]

[This is the map of the current planet. I have prepared it for you]

Brunhilde slid in the air as she spoke, and a translucent miniature planet model immediately appeared in front of Sieg.

"This is?"

[A 93D image of the current planet. After comparing it with the data in the database, it can be confirmed that the current planet is more than % similar to the planet called 'Earth' and can be roughly regarded as the same entity. From now on, the planet will be named 'Earth No. ' in the database.]

No. 93...Earth?

(This is the planet... under my feet?)

Sieg looked at the celestial model in front of him curiously: "Is this glowing red dot... where I am right now?"

【Yes】

[From Earth's perspective, the Clinshid is currently in Romania.]

(Romania...)

This was a completely unfamiliar name to Zigg. In his memory, the country where he currently lived was not named this.

Compared to this kind of thing, what Sieg was more concerned about was the huge crack next to where he was.

"This crack...could it be?"

[According to the previous conversation between Sieg-sama and Mr. Kamui, it is speculated that this special terrain is Hell Valley.]

Brunhilde said.

[The total length is about 4,000 kilometers, the average width of the rift is 30 kilometers, and the maximum depth cannot be explored for the time being. It has been regarded as one of the unique terrains of the planet and registered in the database with the inherent name of Hell Valley.]

[Also, Lord Sieg, please allow me to ask a question - is Hell Valley the largest gathering place for dragons in this world? ]

Hearing this question, Sieg paused while eating the meat. After finishing the meat in his hand, he said, "It should be said... it's just one of them. Miss Brunhilde, I don't know what the dragon clan you encountered before was like, but the dragon clan I know is actually composed of six blood clans."

"Come to think of it, I've been busy adapting to and getting familiar with life on the Climbheed over the past month. I haven't told you about these things yet, have I?"

【Yes】

[But this is not due to Lord Sieg's negligence. The main reason is that I was busy repairing the Crest and neglected to collect crucial intelligence. I am really sorry.]

[Next, I will record all of what Master Sieg has said about the dragons on this planet and enter it into the database.]

"That's not necessary... and I don't know much. I just heard it from a former dragon hunter. I can't guarantee how true it is."

[It doesn’t matter. If the entered information is inconsistent with the actual situation, you only need to correct it.]

"Ok."

After wiping his hands and mouth with the towel at hand, Sieg organized his words, then stretched out his hands and raised three fingers on each.

"As I said, the dragon race that I know of is made up of six separate blood races."

"It is said that each blood clan is composed of dozens of upper dragons that are far stronger than middle dragons and lower dragons, and a [Dragon King] who leads them. However, there are only three blood clans that I know of."

Sieg put away his four fingers and pointed two fingers at different places.

"The Roaring Blood Clan uses Hell Valley as their base and has been fighting against the Sun God Cult for a long time."

"And the Winged Blood Clan that used to be active here and there, but suddenly disappeared decades ago."

"Finally... I heard there are no higher-ranked dragons at all, only the Dragon King himself, the Minion Blood Clan."

[Are there no blood relatives of the upper dragon? ]

[It seems that the Claw Blood Clan is very special even in this world. Sir Sieg, do you know the reason? ]

"......Know."

Sieg looked up at the ceiling with some disappointment.

The blood clan of claws.

It is indeed a special blood clan among the six major blood clans. Apart from the Dragon King, there is no superior dragon in the entire blood clan. Instead, there are the [Disciples of the Dragon King] who are valued by the Dragon King, taught martial arts and not given the king's magic sword.

If we must say, these disciples are the upper dragons of the Minion Blood Clan, and it is said that the King of Minions never considers the other party's background when accepting disciples. Whether it is a human or a dragon, anyone can become a disciple of the King of Minions.

This is the [Blood Clan of Minions].

11. The dragon hunter eventually becomes a dragon?

The entire dinner time was spent with Sieg explaining the situation of this planet to Brunhilde.

Of course, to say it was an explanation was actually just telling Brunhilde what Sieg knew. After all, he had never left this country and all kinds of things were hearsay.

After dinner time is over——

"Physical examination?"

Sieg, who was about to go to the training room to digest his energy, was stopped by Brunhilde.

【Yes】

[After combining the information provided by Sieg-sama, and the various clues collected in this month, I think there are some things that need to be confirmed. Sir Sieg, please follow me to the medical room first.]

"...Is there a medical room on this ship?"

【certainly】

[The 9th contractor was a doctor before the contract, and after the contract, she was determined to drive the Clinshid to treat people all over the world. In order to facilitate treatment, she spent a year building a medical room on the Clinshid - this happened 7700 years ago]

Are you determined to heal the world's people?

It is indeed an extremely grand ambition.

"Did she succeed?"

[Unfortunately, no]

[The planet she was born on was plagued by wars all year round. The war had lasted for more than 300 years when she became a contractor. As a contractor, she was soon regarded as an abnormal factor by various forces after she began to act and was excluded by many parties.]

[Therefore, 35 years after she started her activities, she chose to leave her hometown, and died on another planet 16 years later at the age of 67 - here we are]

Because they were moving as they talked, now under the leadership of Brunhilde, the two had arrived at a door that was no different from the surrounding rooms, except that there was a red cross engraved on the door.

After verifying his identity on the door lock, Zieg walked into the medical room.

"Hmm...what does this smell like?"

As soon as he entered the door, a somewhat unpleasant smell immediately hit him in the face, and Sieg quickly covered his nose.
