Book 15: Chapter 47
“About dragons?” Evelyn placed her teacup down with a look of surprise.
Leah quietly came up to refill her cup with hot tea. I nodded: “Yes. I want to know about it, whether it’s a story of historical fact. The more stories you can tell me stories about dragons in the North, the better.”
“Stories for children make up the majority. I have lived here as the Queen for a long time. While I did not have any practical power, I did have a few things in my grasp. I never received any reports related to dragons. Frankly, there are very little mentions of dragons in the North. Rather, all of the stories derived themselves from a book titled ‘Chronicles of a Dragon Journey.’ As such, if you want to learn more, you should take a look at ‘Chronicles of a Dragon Journey.’”
I nodded: “I came to believe that dragons genuinely do exist in the North precisely because I read that book. That’s why I want to find out more. Has only one person seen a dragon in the North?”
“You actually believe it to be true?”
Evelyn looked at me with disbelief and touched her chin as though she felt I was excessively stupid. Perhaps she was right. After all, the populace of the North treated stories about dragons as mere stories to share with children. No adult believed dragons existed.
I was positive the book wasn’t intended to be read to children but a true experience. He wrote the book, because he honestly met dragons. Everybody thought it was a children’s book, as they hadn’t experienced what he did. They, therefore, had no means of understanding him. The absolutely true story was considered a successful fairy tale.
“Nobody would believe it if they had not seen a dragon before, right?” I asked with a smile. “But I have seen a dragon, a true pure-blooded dragon. I have also seen a former dragon city and their gold coins. If you had seen a dragon, you would know that everything in this book is accurate. If the author fabricated the entire thing, the author would probably be a dragon; else, it would be impossible to have all the facts written so precisely.”
Leah touched her head. After a brief moment of thinking, she stated, “There really is. Of course, I did not personally see it, but I saw one at a village. That was a long time ago. I was not a bodyguard yet at the time. At the time, I was still being sold around. One time, I saw the villagers of a village worshipping a dragon statue. Needless to say, I did not know there was a dragon there at the time. I still am not certain, but since you said that you are certain there are dragons in the North, there may be people there who have come into contact with dragons.”
