Chapter 216: About Fire Dragons
Kim didn't like the idea of giving the dragon more time, but it wasn't like she had many options. Although, as they spoke to Aquis, she couldn't help but wonder if they should try to just wing it rather than seeking out any information about the fire dragon.
That's pretty much what they'd been doing since they started this competition anyway. Even though she wouldn't deny that doing that had gotten them nearly killed at least three times, depending on how you looked at it.
Then there was the fact that when they had been trying to get information about the assassination attempt on the king, it'd gotten them in places where people were almost coming out of the woodwork to try and kill them.
Such as when Elmo was just taking a morning walk or when they were traveling from the village to the city where they were in fact able to stop the assassination attempt.
Granted when they were attacked on the road, they were able to elminate one of the more dangerous opponenets they had to face in regards to that, but Kim wasn't so sure that it really was the best time for that. Especially with how they didn't have any way of knowing about that beforehand.
Although, at the same time, while they had a source of information that she suspected would be more complete and reliable than anything that anyone in 'her' army would likely know, she didn't think it was a good idea to just disregard that fact out of hand. While playing things by ear would be fine in some situations, that didn't mean they should rely on that to get them through every situation. As eventually knowing details about their objective would hinge on whether or not they were able to successfully complete it or if they'd miss it entirely.
Kim couldn't say exactly how long it too before Aquis was ready to give them the information it, or he, had promised, but since the dragon was amenable to giving them that information, she couldn't think of why she should stop him now. It felt lie it would be counter productive to stop it now when she'd been pressing so hard in the first place.
Her doubts might have made her question whether or not she should have pushed this hard to begin with, but it wasn't like she could take it back. As you can't unring a bell once it's already been rung.
"Alright," Aquis said, startling Kim out of her thoughts for a moment. "Now, do you want basic information or all the knowledge I have about those abominations?'
