Change of POV: No one
Two days since Demon Tree incident in the Great Forest of Tob.
Argland Council States:
Fallen Guild base of Eight Greed Kings : The Eryuentiu
Treasury.
In the treasury right now are only two occupants.
A Human, old woman past her 60s or at best 50s, clad in brown leather armor with a cloak over her body, covering her head and back successfully, but still leaving opening so you can see her old but wrinkled face. With sword on her left hip strapped.
This woman is a legendary figure, one of the Thirteen Heroes, and strongest Magic Caster in the world right now, capable of casting Magic till 6th Tier. Some rumors say she is even capable of 7th tier.
She is Rigrit Bers Caurau, a woman of fame.
And standing in front of her is one and only Platinum Dragon Lord in all it's lizard-like glory. Due to massive size of Eryuentiu, he is just big enough to fit it, barely 90 meters tall if he stands up on his legs.
And as his name says, his entire body is covered in Platinum-colored scales, blueish-white color. His head has two horns facing backward, and his lower body, that is from neck to stomach has blue-like veins lines spreading.
He is Tsaindorcus Vaision, or Tsa as Rigrit calls him.
"Rigrit it's indeed a pleasant surprise to see you after such long time." Spoke Platinum Dragon Lord as he lifted up his head to cast his gaze at his old friend from two centuries ago. Still laying on floor.
"Tsa, you seem to be rather happy today? Your mood is different what could it be?" Questioned Rigrit as she crossed her arms over her chest while grinning madly at her Lizard Friend.
Dragon huffed, before noticing a missing ring on Rigrit's index finger.
"Where is your ring? I hardly believe there is a Human capable of stealing it from you, I'd rather it not fall into incapable hands." Dragon spoke, changing subject from the previous Rigrit's question.
Rigrit's grin threatened to split her face as she glanced at her hand. " I gave it to a promising young man from Re-Estize Kingdom, Gazef Stronoff. " Then she glanced at Platinum Dragon. " Changing subject won't save you this time Tsa, what is it?"
Dragon diverted his gaze from Rigrit before staring at Platinum-colored armor positioned away from them.
"Once in a hundred years event."
Rigrit's previous unserious and playful mood disappeared before her face morphed into that of a hardened warrior. Prepared for anything.
"Players?" Was her reply.
Tsaindorcus nodded. " For now, I have recognized only one. In this century it might be the last too. But I can't discern yet she is Player or NPC."
"What are the chances they are not a threat to world? " Inquired Rigrit, this is very important part of news, she can't miss anything the old Dragon might say.
Dragon once again directed his gaze at Rigrit.
" From her current train of actions, she appears to be working in world's favor. But it's too early to judge. And she is different from others..." He muttered the last part of his sentence to himself, but alas for him, Rigrit heard it perfectly.
Rigrit grinned once more, with playful glint dancing across her eyes.
"She? And how is 'she' different?"
Tsaindorcus stared upwards, at balcony. Trying to hide his reddened head.
Rigrit is baffled. The Platinum Dragon Lord, the strongest being in the world.
Is flustered?
Her jaw if it could, it would have dropped to the floor.
This old lizard fell in love!
She couldn't help giggling to herself at this piece of information. So she inquired further. "Did you by any chance... Fell in love with her?!" She almost screamed the last part of her sentence.
"Ahm, ah no.. You, see it's.. Not like.. that.." Stuttered the glorious Platinum Dragon Lord as he tried to hide his embarrassment from the old hag.
"How does she look like?" Rigrit stepped up from her earlier position, leaning closer to Dragon Lord, she is almost capable of touching his claw right now.
"She is beautiful Dragon.." Muttered Dragon Lord as he proceeded to describe 'player' " Her Dragon form is 100 meters tall of she stands up on two legs. Her scales are blue-white. Upper part of her body is covered in blue scales, as if they were pieces of ice. And her stomach is covered in pearl-white scales..." Trailed off Dragon Lord as he described the beauty of the Dragon he noticed two days ago.
Rigrit's grin, couldn't expand further on her face. It's simply not possible anymore.
She is trying very hard to not fall on her back and roll around while laughing at her friend.
"And her yellow eyes are full of energy, and her smell. Ohh that smell, she didn't have a mate yet too.. " Rigrit's eyes even widened more, this reptile truly plans to do what!? " I can feel she would have been a perfect mother!"
~BONK!
Rigrit slapped the Dragon Lord on his head after she jumped up into air.
"Cool down Tsa! This type of behavior doesn't suit you at all!"
Dragon fake coughed, and his whole head is red as tomato. How could Dragon's blush is beyond even Rigrit.
But then it clicked something in her head.
"I apologize Rigrit.. It's just that..."
"Wait, Tsa. Are you by any chance virgin?"
His head turned sideways, it was all the answer she needed before she fell on her back laughing.
"Hahahahhahahaah!" She laughed even more. " Who would have expected that strongest Dragon Lord didn't even get laid once in his life time! People guessed you had enough Dragoness' going after you!"
This laughter lasted for dozen of seconds or more, before it was interrupted by a cough from Tsaindorcus.
Rigrit breathed in and out before standing up from the floor, dusting her clothes out.
" I'm sorry, it's just that it was too funny!"
PDL just grunted, not minding it at all, before moving his gaze at his Platinum Armor he used to control from distance.
Rigrit followed his gaze before her eyes fell on his armor.
"When are you planning to meet her?"
Tsaindorcus appeared to be in though before meeting Rigrit's eyes.
"Soon, very soon. But I want to know what have you heard about 'Frost Knights' ?" It was his turn to question this time.
It was Rigrit's turn for her expression to turn into confusion. Why this change of subject right now?
Nevertheless, she answered truthfully.
"I don't know much. All I know is that 'Frost Knight' is a team of one number, a warrior named Capitano or Captain. I forgot, who fought alongside Gazef Stronoff against Sunlight Scripture, and defeated them."
Dragon nodded.
"Frost Knight is the name of the team when there was only one member. But one member already joined his team-" Tsaindorcus was about to continue, but he got interrupted by Rigrit.
"Wait, who joined that youngling's team?"
"A man you have heard of, Brain Unglaus."
Rigrit's eyes widened in disbelief, that arrogant prick actually joined someone else's team? And under Capitano?
This is unexpected, did that guy change his whole nature or what?
"Now they are called Frost Knights, and the Dragoness who I suspect to be Player is none other than Capitano."
Rigrit's confusion is evident by this time.
"Wait! Wasn't Capitano a man? And he is wearing all black armor, how is he a she then?"
Dragon huffed in slight annoyance at Rigrit this time, maybe he is getting finally tired of me? So though Rigrit as she continued testing her luck.
"Even I was surprised, but there is no denial about the smell she radiates under all that armor, and I have seen her turning from Dragon into Human, something even we the Dragon Lords are incapable of." Explained Tsainforcus as he moved his tail slightly away, it was nuisance.
"And is there anything you need from me?" Questioned Rigrit as she once again crossed her arms over her chest,
Dragon nodded. " I want you to collect informations on weapons that could potentially rival Items from YGGDRASIL, or Items from YGGDRASIL still not used completely."
Rigrit nodded, mentally engraving it into her head.
"And I will have to call another meeting in Argland Council States due to this.. change of pace. In centuries since Players started descending into our world from theirs, there has not been a Dragon player." Explained PDL, this was indeed an fascinating turn of events for him.
But deep down, he hopes 'Capitano' is a good person and not a threat to this world.
That way, he might be able to pursue her...
And how strong would their children be? He though.
A children with a player.
Player's children.
Realization hit him momentarily, he forgot about Slane Theocracy!
"Rigrit, I want you to collect information about Black Scripture, specifically their God-kins or rather their 'trump card'. Slane Theocracy might think they are cunning enough to hide the existence of a strong individual like that from me, but I have since long ago known about her existence. I want you to collect information on that half-elf and the caption of the Black Scripture."
Rigrit nodded.
"But be wary, at first sing of danger you must run away. You cannot defeat Captain of the Black Scripture nor their Trump Card. "
"But shall we talk about our old times now? Old friend?"
Change of Location.
Great Forest of Tob.
Northern part of the forest.
Northern part of the forest has been literally decimated by the fight of the Frost Dragon and Demon Tree, with many tree's frozen, plunged from the ground.
And in the middle of the Northern part of the forest is fallen corpse of 'Demon Tree'
And currently, that same corpse is being inspected by a group of 9 people.
These people are none other than Black Scripture, the strongest scripture in Slane Theocracy.
They have been sent out here to catch and use [Downfall of Castle and Country] on Catastrophe Dragon lord, and also to inspect the body of Demon Tree which was killed by 'Frost Dragon'.
"Everyone, be wary of what are you doing. Our mission is to simple inspect the body, not summon any monster here." Ordered Captain of the Black Scripture to his men and women. " Spread out."
At his command, all of them spread out in different directions to take hold of perimeter.
But with him stayed one old woman, this woman is Kaire. User of [Downfall of Castle and Country] the World-Class Item that Theocracy has in their possession, due to her importance, she would of course be non stop with him.
He is the strongest in their group and that was given.
"Kaire, what do you think?" Captain asked as he pointed at Demon Tree's head with his spear. "You have seen Frost Dragons once, correct? Do you think this was caused by Frost Dragon Lord?"
Kaire cast one glance, and that was all she needed to know.
"No Captain, it wasn't." She began. " It was from something much worse.."
