chapter 4
4 – 4. Dragon Satisfaction
A small object that glowed yellow shook my heart in an instant.
Greed soars in the realm of instinct.
want to have.
Gold was beyond beautiful.
Gold, like the dragon, is the eternal and immortal metal of the gods. Unlike miscellaneous other metals, it is a selected material that does not rust over time and can easily contain magical power, while at the same time retaining the beauty of a well-crafted jewel.
Is there any creature that would hate gold?
Gold is a substance that even lowly hairless monkeys know its value and try to obtain by any means.
But more than anything else, the one who suits gold is me, the dragon.
A creature that is unchanging with the flow of time like gold and possesses innate magical power.
Gold is not something that hairless monkeys would have. Too much stuff is enough to ruin oneself.
It is no wonder that a pearl necklace around a beautiful woman’s neck is more valuable than a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.
Gold belongs to the red dragon.
All things must find their place. This is the order of the world and correct justice.
That thing must belong to me, the red dragon, and not to a lowly, weak, insignificant young hairless ape.
Give it up.
“Louis, what is it?”
I stopped flapping my wings to get back, stretched my neck, and put my face in Louise’s face. I mercifully gave this monkey the right to dare to face the dragon up close. I’m sure Louis would faint in awe at my outrageous mercy.
“Hey, hee! uh, what are you talking about? Shall we bring more cows and horses? Well, say anything!”
Louis, who was taking care of his father, did not thank me even when he saw my face, and fell backwards like before, shaking his legs. It was slightly unpleasant that he did not praise my benevolence, but since he is a hairless monkey, he must have lost his manners because he was too embarrassed.
I am a generous dragon, so I can forgive you.
Kind Dragon.
“You idiot, you already had dinner earlier. don’t let me say it twice I asked about the thing that was put on your hand.”
When I said it kindly again, Louis, who was trembling with fear, raised his hand and said, as if he finally realized the true meaning of my words.
“This, this is the wedding ring that comes down in my family. In our family, we have a tradition of giving this ring to a wife when she has someone to marry for generations…”
Louis, who was speechless, looked at me and explained. Apparently, this stupid guy didn’t understand the true meaning of my words. After all, it is a monkey with low intelligence, so it can not be helped. If you put it in a noble way like an intelligent creature, you don’t understand the meaning of the words.
“Louis, give me a chance.”
“What do you mean…?”
“Bondi, all things have to find their place. Do you still not understand the meaning of these words?”
Kindly unpack the meaning of the words and explain. By this point, he must have understood. Even a monkey with a lack of fur should be able to understand it easily once it reaches this stage.
“Where do you think it should be?”
“Well, it is true that this item really comes down from my family,,, it was passed down to me by my father yesterday. It’s not stolen from anywhere. Really. You’ll break your wrist if you do that.”
But Louis, despite my kind explanation, was taking the focus of the story wrong and saying strange things. He seemed to take it as something he suspected I had stolen. Whether he stole or not, I wasn’t part-time. In the end, all the treasures will turn around and come into my arms, and in the process, it didn’t matter at all whether the golden ring was on the finger of a king or a beggar in the street.
Treasures everywhere were treasures, and I was the true owner of all treasures. All valuable things should be in my arms.
Because I am the master of the world.
bang-!
Frustrated, he hit the ground with his tail once. After all, it was very painful to talk to a lesser race. I growl, thinking that if I don’t understand my words one more time, I’ll show the guy a hot taste of fire.
“I am giving you the opportunity to honor me. Do you still not understand what I am saying? You stupid, foolish Louis. I am an immortal being, a monarch who embraces magic and mystery all in one. All living things are at my feet, and the only ones I can encounter are my kin who share the same blood. You can kill whoever you want, and you can eat whoever you want. What do you think is suitable for me, who is the owner of the wide mountain range and reigns supreme over all living beings living in it? What do you think suits a monarch who lives through eternity?”
Unfortunately, Lewis, who had the honor to hear my self-introduction, did not seem to understand the meaning of my words again. The guy, who rolled his eyes and fell flat on the floor, raised his arms and raised his upper body while shouting out loud.
“Up, long live the great dragon! hurray! Hooray!”
It was true, of course, but not what I was expecting. I opened my mouth wide as the disappointment in myself, which I had hoped for a moment that such an idiot could understand me, arose.
To turn him into a well-baked monkey and return with the riches he deserves. I was holding off on taking it because I didn’t want the ring to melt in my fire, but I thought it wouldn’t work like this.
“Lou, Louis! Offer the ring you have to the great dragon.”
But at that moment, Louis’s father, who opened his eyes, stretched out his hand toward his son and shouted desperately. Hearing that, I closed my open mouth and withheld the fire for a while.
“yes? But father! This is an heirloom I inherited from my mother, and a wedding ring for Bona tomorrow?”
However, he opens his mouth wide again, which had been closed because of Louis, who still did not realize the subject.
How dare you complain about bugs. This is a sin that will make you a human stake for generations to come.
“Louis, you idiot! hurry! Hear me out soon! Isn’t the one who should have the gold right in front of us! Paali-!”
Seeing the village chief desperately shouting the words I like, I felt sorry for him and shut my mouth again.
“father! But! Turn it off, see…”
My mouth dropped wide when I saw Louis hesitate even after hearing those words. Dare this thunder-naked bastard.
“Up, great dragon! May I offer a tribute? Of course, it’s a trivial, insignificant item that doesn’t suit the dragon’s majesty at all, so if you don’t like it, don’t take it! I am afraid that the dignity of the dragon will be damaged by offering such an object!”
Louis approached me as if half-crawling and held out the ring, and I closed my open mouth again. And he said with a laugh.
“Hey, Louis. Are you offering these insignificant things to my majesty? Really stupid, foolish, insignificant, and out of my subject.”
“Is that so? Then this ring…”
“However, since it is the first tribute offered to me by humans, I will accept it specially. Know that there is no way to do it originally! You monkey!”
He holds out his hand to receive the ring. The sobbing Louis trembles, then, with a cry of mustard, puts the ring on my hand and backs off.
gold, gold
The shiny thing on my palm right now was definitely gold. Even if you take a deep breath through your nose, the smell of gold rises from the ring.
As soon as I saw the yellow object on my hand, I smiled. If it was now, it seemed that at least two Louis could be spared.
Oh my precious.
I grabbed the ring with care, in case it was about to break, and raised my head again and spoke aloftly.
“I will be back next month, so prepare your offerings properly until then!”
Spread your wings and fly away The storm created by my flapping of wings raised a lot of dust, and I left the place while the villagers who were directly hit by the dust wind clamored.
to fly up to the sky
I should go home and play with the ring. And if you put the ring by your bedside before going to bed, you will surely have pleasant dreams.
A dream of eating well-roasted horses on top of a garden of gold, being tended by beautiful maidens while looking down at monkeys who praised me like fanatics.
