Chapter 1126: Cap 1124: Border City
"I think training won't be so useful for you anymore, there is something missing that is blocking your growth as a Dragon, I believe that at some point you will get there, so don't worry." (Arash)
"..." (I)
cough cough
"Let me help you." (Vanessa)
"Let him take care of himself, you're in the middle of your training." (Natasha)
I was lying in a pool of my own blood, just like at the end of most of my training with Arash, that bastard uses training as an excuse to beat me up.
Vanessa tries to come heal me, but she herself has been training with my sister to improve her healing capabilities, I suggested this knowing that she has been giving less and less focus on the Auge once was her specialty, and she can't let one of her specialties drop so much just being focused on something else.
After some time waiting for the pieces of my bones to come together and my wounds to close, I drink a barrel of blood as I walk around holding my head which has taken many blows today.
Without realizing it, I arrived at the place where Karina has been spending most of her time, a Temple to the Dragon God that is inside the Castle of Dragons, there were many other Dragonewts and Dragons in that place, but I could tell that they respected Karina by their looks.
I don't know how I ended up here just walking aimlessly, but I knew it had something to do with Karina and that's why I went to her.
"Something wrong?" (I)
"..." (Karina)
"Karina!" (I)
"Huhhh!?" (Karina)
She seemed distracted looking at her hands, her eyes seemed to be locked on an image in her mind, she didn't notice when I approached or called her, only when I used my Aura in my voice when calling her name did she respond with some reaction.
"Sorry, I hadn't seen you, but I'm glad you're here." (Karina)
She starts to pull me to a hall on the second floor where there was a mural of a Dragon bigger than a planet, whose body couldn't be completely seen, it was an incredible painting.
"Why did you bring me here?" (I)
"I just didn't want people eavesdropping on our conversations." (Karina)
Karina pulls out the bandage sphere full of Runes where the power of the Dragons of Light was stored, I'm surprised that it's the same way I left it when I gave it to her, I thought she was already trying to create the Dragon Seal.
When I looked at her face I noticed that she was despondent before she started to speak.
"I'm sorry to say this, but it's impossible for me to do what you asked, the amount of power here is enough for a thousand Dragon Seals, I don't have enough power to do what you asked." (Karina)
One of the reasons I keep questioning him is where we are, if I was able to spot him hiding while still being exhausted, then there's no way the other Dragon Kings or Arash himself being the Dragon Emperor let this thing go unnoticed.
There are only two options, the first being that they noticed and allowed it, which turns out to be an ally or friend, the second option would be a dangerous enemy who revealed himself to me on purpose in order to make it seem like I found him on my own.
The second option is too risky and if it's the right one there's not much I can do, so I prefer to believe in the first option since it's the only one I would be able to do something about.
"Why would I be of interest to you? Are you a Dragon too?" (I)
"[No, I'm Human, but it's not just about being a Dragon, it's about your specific race.]" (Orsel)
"[The truth is, I am thinking of hiring your services if possible.]" (Orsel)
"..." (I)
"[I know I might seem too suspicious to you, this meeting might be a little intrusive, so I will withdraw and we can talk tomorrow with the Dragon Emperor present if you wish.]" (Orsel)
"I can, but before you go, haven't I heard where you're from?" (I)
"[I already told you where I'm from.]" (Orsel)
"I've heard it's a border town, but you still haven't told me which Kingdom or Empire." (I)
"[I see, it seems there was a misunderstanding, what I meant was that I am from a place called Frontier City, that is the name of the city and it does not belong to any Kingdom or Empire.]" (Orsel)
"[This is a normal mix-up, I can explain better next day, so see you tomorrow sir]" (Orsel)
"Call me Zenos." (I)
"[I apologize for this small event that was clearly troublesome for you, I hope you have a good rest until our next meeting.]" (Orsel)
After saying all this space began to ripple and I feel a tunnel form somewhere when the strange Golem disappears as if sinking into these ripples, soon space is back to normal.
I was thinking about everything he said, but there was little I could do now, I gave some commands to my Familiars before letting sleep take my conscience.
-------------
The next day I woke up feeling great, my power was almost completely back, and I had other things to do, but first I need to talk to the others and go to Arash to talk about yesterday's intruder.
As soon as I spoke with my Familiars, Ragnar told me that he didn't find the said city on the maps we have of that continent or any we've passed through.
None of the others found out anything about the person's name, but it seems that Sakura talked to Nicole about the Golem we saw, hence my daughter's interest in the subject.
After finding out what little information my Familiars managed to find out, it was better than nothing.
Now I talk to everyone where I'm going, I wanted to talk to my sisters, maybe they know something, but since I can't find them, I went after Arash as I planned to ask about my last "visitor" from the night before.
