Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

-----

The guards continued speaking with one another in the entrance of the village. A small group of lizard people stealing some oranges of the millions they got somehow made such a big fuss because of the internal fear they got from the lizardmen attacking the town like they had attempted to do before.

I heard from the conversation that the lizardmen apparently lived in here and that they were moved out by the people to make this town and plant these exported orange trees, and that in the past the lizardman had even tried to make some friendly relationships with the village but they all died when one of those assholes killed the lizardman chief that came to visit.

It was obviously planned, he probably disliked these people trying to get friendly with the lizardmen and completely destroyed their friendship by killing a single lizardman which he knew was the chief, but he of course didn't said that he just said he attacked him because he was holding a weapon and that he didn't knew it was the chief.

"What are we going to do, you ask? Well, whenever you seem those scaled monsters, you shot them down into the ground and kill them! That's what you'll do." Said the sect disciple. "And I will go ask the landlord if he can bring more of our sect disciples and soldiers, if they continue showing up, we'll go into the marshlands and begin an eradication."

"W-What?"

"But that's a bit too much!"

"We would waste a lot of resources, and that jungle is filled with dangerous monsters aside from lizardmen."

"There are dangerous Rank 2 Monsters everywhere, and Rank 3 are not rare either… And then the lizardmen that somehow survive in there for hundreds of years, they probably could easily defeat us in their own territory…"

"So what? We just bring more and more forces until we force our way into them, reach their village, and kill the last ones. Don't pity the kids either, those grow up to become just as detestable as the adults!" said the disciple. "Did you hear me?" Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

"Y-Yes…"

"Understood…"

"We understand…"

"Sigh…"

The guards didn't agreed with his words, they didn't agreed with what he said and even less with anything else, but they had no choice but to obey, he was the one at higher authority. It was clear that the people in here didn't had that bad of an impression on lizardmen.

After all those that drove them off were their ancestors, all of them are dead by now and this new generation was simply trying to be friendly with those people that had been living in here since forever.

The most impressive thing was that the lizardmen had accepted and even brought their chief to make a formal meeting back then… if things would had ended well, they could had probably reached some sort of peaceful treaty, and this Kingdom that already accepts various races could had accepted a new race of lizardmen, they might had even slowly interacted more and more with the people.

The lizardmen seemed to have forgotten their grudges and showed enough maturity to move forward and try to seek peace for the prosperity of their people, but their beloved chief and the one they had been guiding them suddenly was assassinated by this asshole.

Thinking about this, I really just wanted to cut his throat off and then crush his soul, but even that would be way too good for him, a pathetic Rank 3 Sect Disciple dared doing such an awful thing to the lizardmen who were just trying to get over their hate and finally become allies with the people in this village and quite possibly the entire Kingdom, but all of such dreams were shattered by this absolute buffoon…

I will continue monitoring the situation with my slimes stuck to the armor of this human guard for now and see how things go. I did said I wasn't going to get involved, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to know more about what is happening, right? Yeah, I am just… learning new things, nothing too big or weird about it. I am merely attempting to learn… Yeah.

Anyways, we moved towards the merchant guild outpost that there was in here, as we were greeted by a dozen of people entering and going out, mostly carrying items and other products to exchange.

There was an empty area, so I swiftly moved there with Benladann and Benladra at my side, while everybody else decided to wait at the side of the door.

"This is a very spacious area, the architecture is nice, it is nice to see some wood for once, living inside of Fuyu where everything is ice sometimes gets a bit… tiring." Said Benladann. "As someone raised in a wooden house… I feel more at home in one like this."

"I understand how you feel, you surprisingly slept pretty well last night," I said. "Maybe Fuyu can add more wood to the interior of her home and hide the ice."

"I guess I could try." Whispered Fuyu to us, she was sitting atop my head in her small slime body. "But you have to know that I cannot just replace the ice, it is part of my own body."

"We know, don't worry." I said. "Do whatever you can."

"Okay…" said Fuyu. It seems she immediately began to rework our room while we were not there.

"Dear, we are here." Said Benladann.

"Bababah…" said Benladra.

The receptionist greeted us; she was an ice elf woman with a long dark blue hair made into braids wearing glasses. She wore a beautiful uniform made of blue leather that the recessionist all were wearing.

"Welcome to the merchant guild, is there something you need?" she asked.

"Hello, is it possible to join the guild?" I asked.

"Yes, by paying a fee of five hundred gold coins, you can join our guild and you'll receive certificate as a merchant, of course, we also need to confirm you are a merchant by seeing what you sell and more, there is another merchant that approves this."

"I see…"
