The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee-Chapter 447 - A 300 Year Old Tale 4

Chapter 447 – A 300 Year Old Tale 4

Moko had just been lifted from a curse.

For 300 years, he survived only by the magical power absorbed by a zombified metal creature.

No matter how much magical power he got, though, without food, you felt like starving.

「Moko, take a rest.」

「Thanks for your concern, master of Femm. But I’m fine. If you have any other questions…」

Cruz hesitated to open her mouth…

「Um, Moko.」

Cruz was probably worried about Moko’s strength.

「Please, go ahead, hero. Ask anything.」

「Are you okay?」

「As I said, you can ask as it’s no concern to me….」 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

「I see. Moko, what kind of person was the hero 300 years ago.」

「Gentle, merciful, fair. Kind to all, strict to me.」

「So he was a noble person.」

「And a little childish. He called me Moko because he said it sounds what being furry sounds like, mokomoko…」

I guess it helped me understand the name a little better.

It might have been that Moko was something like a puppy to the hero.

「It makes sense to me.」

「Do you think so, hero? I also like the name.」 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Moko said, wagging his tail.

And looking far away again, Moko said,

「And so much stronger than everyone else.」

「….that much?」

「Oh yes, that’s why I don’t want anyone to break that seal.」

「Are you worried about us? Or you don’t want anyone to get rid of him?」

「I’m worried. Not only Femm and her master, but I like all of you…so…」

「So he’s that strong.」

「Maybe…all of the followers of the gods might be killed.」

「And if that happens…」

「And though not everyone may die, some might. So I ask you to go back.」

Yureena then asked Moko,

「You don’t want us to subdue him?」

「Yes. He had a beast put on his back and a curse cast on him after all.」

「Exactly what Luka said. What’s your real intention? If you really don’t want us to…」

「Thank you, but that’s not the case. I hope he is defeated.」

「Really?」

「Yes, I am here to protect the seal and not my master.」

「What do you mean?」

「If I could defeat him, I would break the seal and do it myself. But if I broke the seal, I know he will bring only calamity.」

「So you’re saying you don’t want him to cause any more destruction?」

「Hero, exactly. But that’s not what my master wants.」

Hearing that, Cruz looked at me.

「So Alra, what now?」

「There’s no doubt this is a dangerous task. Everyone can decide if they want to be involved.」

And if we don’t have enough power after that, we can try later.

「Are you going, Alra?」

「Sure.」

「Then I’ll go too.」

「Me too.」「And I’m going as well.」

So all my old party was in.

『And I will go too. I will fight with you.』

『Moo! GO!』

『PiggGi Me too!』

「I’ll go too.」

So far it was Cruz, Luka, Yureena, Femm, Moofy, Chel, and Vi-Vi.

「Well, I must go, because the seal cannot be broken without me.」

「And I as well, as I am the lord of destruction.」

So Belda and Ecces will follow.

「And you, Timi?」

「Well, I don’t know, Alra.」

「You don’t know?」

Timi nods to Cruz’ question.

「I normally wouldn’t hesitate, but I wonder if Shiggy would be in danger.」

「Sure that would be the case, but what would you do with her?」

「ryaa?」

Shiggy popped her head out and shook her head.

Timi came over and stroked Shiggy’s head.

「But there was an oracle of the god of destruction, which did say the dragon god blessed Shiggy with being here at the exact time.」

So Shiggy was protected by the dragon god, and as a result became the dragon lord.

No wonder, as Shiggy did grow very quickly… a sheer genius.

And the dragon god didn’t even wait for the dragon to mature.

Of course, to a god, waiting for hundreds of years for Shiggy to mature would be like a moment, at least, that’s what I thought.

Maybe Shiggy would play a role in subduing this hero from 300 years ago.

And Timi was thinking the same thing as me.

「I know that a god’s intentions and means are pointless to think about, but still.」

Yet Timi did believe in the dragon god.
