Book 1: Chapter 7
Lucia somersaulted in through the window, crawled behind me and asked: “Did you find out anything?”
There were a bunch of books with years of history in them spread out in front of me. I was afraid I’d damage them. I could understand the writing on them, so I think I inherited this body’s owner’s knowledge. Lucia’s small head came over from behind, as she looked at the words and said: “I don’t think any of these are useful.”
I closed the book, nodded and said: “They are indeed useless. These books only outline the living habits of Earth Dragons. I now understand their body structure and living habits, but I don’t know how this is relevant to killing them”
I sighed, and annoyed, pushed aside the books in front of me, and said: “It looks like I can’t help the elders because I have no idea how to slay Earth Dragons at this point. Why does this creature exist in this world? Scales which can’t be penetrated by blades or magic, lifespans of hundreds of years… Such a creature shouldn’t exist.”
“Earth Dragons can be killed. Her highness will definitely intervene at the end. Her magic is on a completely different level compared to ours. She could definitely slay them.”
Lucia was casually spread out on my bed. At night, Lucia is a capable warrior. She rolled over, pushed over a book and said: “Magic isn’t a skill, but a ‘command’ to her highness. You saw how it took me a long time to gather the fire element energy in the air for the fire ball. But her highness could gather all the fire element energy in the air at a single command instantly. That is her highness’s divine power. We need to gather energy, while her highness commands it.”
Curious, I looked at Lucia and asked: “Why doesn’t mom just intervene herself then?”
Lucia shrugged and said: “Because of you. After you were born, she said she wanted to be a kind mother. I’ve never seen her hurt anyone since then. She rarely even uses her magic. But she did participate in the last war over the prince.”
Confused I asked again: “The war over the prince?”
