I’m a humiliated, incompetent person, but I alone can talk to dragons, so I can choose all the SSS skills and loophole items I want to. I’m going to become famous and respected, so, to the people who humiliated me – Go die in a ditch - Chapter 36

It was the afternoon of the next day.
As I was sitting on the threshold of the house connecting to the dragon house, making small talk with the dragons, a complete stranger asked me a question.
It was the first time I had seen him, but he was dressed like a merchant, so I decided not to turn him away, but to let him into the parlor for a chat.
We sat down in the parlor, facing each other.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, I’m Rowen Laurent, the representative of Laurent Trading Company”
“I’m Cyril Larose.”
“I know who you are. It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Larose, the current leading representative of the Dragon Knights Guild.”
“Leading?”
I tilted my head slightly.
“Yes. There are still a few of us, but based on your accomplishments and the dragons you have, you are definitely seen as a force to be reckoned with,” Rowen said.
“So that’s how people see me?” I asked.
“That’s why I’ve come here today, to get to know you,” Rowen said.
“I see.”
I gave a small nod.
I looked at Rowen’s face.
Somehow, I knew he didn’t look like he was just saying hello.
I decided to ask him straight out.
“It’s not just a greeting, is it?”
“As expected of Mr. Larose. I’ve come here today with an item that I’d really like you to purchase, Mr. Larose.”
“Really?”
I was a little impressed.
I know this from knowledge.
Normally, you have to go to a store to buy something.
But when you become famous or rich, the merchant will ask you to buy something from him.
One of the differences between the rich and the not-so-rich is whether the merchant comes to visit you or not.
I was a little impressed to see that I was on the side of the merchants coming to me……
With that in mind, I asked Rowen again.
“What kind of item is it?”
“This will be the item, sir.”
He took out a small box from his pocket with a careful hand and placed it on the low table between us.
It was a small box, about the size of a jewelry box, and it even had a lock on it.
“What is it?” I asked.
“It’s one of the holy relics,” Rowen said.
“A holy relic?”
I snorted.
A holy relic is literally something left behind by a saint or a holy being.
To put it more bluntly, it’s a part of the corpse of a saint or something.
The churches and such, like to sanctify and appreciate such things.
“A holy relic you say? If you put them all together, Saint Simon would be a monster with seven heads and 130 right arms, right?”
I said with a wry smile.
Rowen chuckled as well.
“Yes, you’re right……. Most relics are fake. But this one is real.”
“Hmm.”
Well, I didn’t know how to react. “I brought you the real thing” is the worst thing you can take a merchant’s word for.
As I was wondering what to do, Rowen took out the key and opened the box, and showed it to me.
“Is this…… a bone?”
“Yes.”
Rowen nodded clearly.
The shape of the bone was clearly not that of a human being.
I don’t know what kind of bone it is, but I know that it is not a human bone.
“What kind of bone is that?” I asked.
“A dragon, sir,” Rowen said.
“A Dragon?”
“Yes, the bone of the Holy Dragon King, the ruler of the dragons in the days before they were harnessed by humans.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll be frank,” Rowen said.
“What?”
“I think your Dragon Knights Guild will make even greater strides in the future, and for that I think it would be better to keep one of the real relics as a foil.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
“Hmm.”
“It may seem useless, but fame and prestige depend on how much you can afford to waste on such things.”
“…… That’s true.”
I know what he’s talking about.
I mean, it’s for the show.
The royalty and the nobility have a way of making themselves look good for nothing.
It’s the same thing with the Dragon Knights Guild once you get to the top.
In that sense, I guess you could say that Rowen, who really said that to me, is comparatively on my side in his position.
But even so.
I can’t afford to waste my money on a single item just yet.
“Gwahahaha, so it came to you I see.”
Chris?
Chris’s voice came from the dragon house.
I only nodded my head and didn’t ask back because Rowen was in front of me.
“You should buy it, my friend. I can assure you of many things,” Chris said.
“I’ll Buy it.”
I told Rowen.
Since Chris had assured me that he would guarantee- I didn’t know what he would guarantee- but there was absolutely no need to hesitate.
“How about 20,000 reals?” Rowen asked.
“Okay.”
I was a little relieved, because I had just about enough money on me.
If I paid this, I’d be out of money for a while, but I’d earn it.
More importantly, I trust Chris.
I paid the 20,000 reals I had in church bills and got the Holy Dragon King’s bone.
☆
Inside the dragon house after Roen had left.
Chris and I faced each other alone.
“You made your decision quickly, my true friend.”
“you said you’ll assure it. It’s a waste of time to doubt if it’s real.”
“Gwahahaha, good, good, my true friend. Your determination is good, and above all, I feel that I must repay your trust.”
Chris laughed out loud in a good mood.
The building itself trembled with laughter – the way you laugh when you’re in a really good mood.
“So, you’re sure this is real?” I asked.
“Yes, but the name is different,” Chris answered.
“The name is different?”
“Yes, it’s not something stupid like the bones of the Holy Dragon King.”
“Then what is it?”
“You’ll see.”
Chris said, and breathed out a flame.
The flames he spat out enveloped the box I had brought with me.
The whole box went up in flames.
I had a contract with Chris that gave me the ability to disable flames, so I didn’t panic and kept it with me.
“This is not an ordinary flame is it?”
“That’s right, it’s the flame of my rebirth,” Chris said.
“I see.”
The flames of rebirth burned through the box alone, and then possessed the bones.
The bones, being burned by the flames, instead of being destroyed, were being “reborn”.
Rebirth, or incarnation.
These were the other words that came to my mind.
Eventually, the bones changed their shape and became daggers……
“This was not a part of a….. body?”
“It’s not the bones of the Holy Dragon King, as you said. It’s just a mimicry.”
“I see. Then what is this?”
“The Legacy Phoenix Horn.”
“Phoenix …… phoenix?”
I looked at Chris in surprise. He was grinning.
“Yes, the legacy I made from the relics left behind when I died several times ago, the humans called it a sacred tool at the time,” Chris said.
“sacred tool!?”
I was surprised again.
I’m not sure if this is the most surprising thing I’ve seen today.
If the dragon tool is a tool used for dragons, the sacred tool is said to be a tool used by the gods.
They have a variety of powers that surpass tools made by humans.
Normally, I would say that this is an ancient myth, that it is impossible.
“Gwahahahaha, true friend’s fame has brought the item here. That’s what I’m talking about.”
Chris laughed cheerfully.
If Chris says it, it’s definitely real, I thought.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
