A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 359



Episode 359

‘The Sultan’s Lion?’

Sieg’s mind quickly turned at Luther’s words.

And there was one thing I had a guess about.

‘Could it be that a monster army has appeared on the Eastern Continent as well?’

It cannot be said that the monsters of the Demon World only appear in the Central Continent.

Although it was a different type from the Central Continent I knew that there were monsters and demons in the Eastern Continent as well.

I remembered my previous life’s master Nigel saying that the demons of the Eastern Continent were stronger and more intelligent than those of the Central Continent making them harder to defeat.

Zeke asked Luther with a calm expression.

“Why does the Sultan’s messenger want to see me?”

Luther hesitated for a moment at those words and then slowly opened his mouth.

“The Sultan also seems to have heard the rumor that Sir Zeke received the Fairy King’s blessing and gained the power of salvation.”

I had guessed it to some extent but it was still sudden so I was troubled by Luther’s words and he said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“If it is alright with you Sir Zeke could you please meet the Sultan’s messenger?”

Zeke asked suddenly reminded of something Luther had said.

“But as far as I remember Lord Luther was chased by the Sultan’s warriors and became a knight of the Drakers so how did the Sultan’s messenger come to find Lord Luther?”

Luther looked slightly embarrassed at Zeke’s question.

“In fact the Sultan’s messenger has told me that if I arrange a meeting with Sir Zeke the death sentence he has issued against me will be lifted.”

Zig asked in surprise at those words.

“If the ban is lifted then Lord Luther can return to his hometown right?”

At those words Luther waved his hand and said:

“That’s not true. I am now a knight of the Drakers. Besides I feel more at ease in the Central Continent as the Sultan may change his mind at any moment.”

Sieg nodded as Luther’s words made sense.

“That’s true. The Sultan’s messenger… I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to meet him and hear his story.”

Luther was delighted by Zeke’s words.

“Then can I bring the lion here?”

“Yes please do that.”

Luther ran out saying he would bring the lion that was staying in his house right away.

Zeke went into the mansion and rested waiting for Luther and the Sultan’s messenger to arrive.

About an hour later Luther and the Sultan’s messenger entered Zick’s office.

And Zeke was surprised to see the Sultan’s messenger entering the office.

‘The author is…?’

The one who came as the Sultan’s messenger was surprisingly not human.

‘You’re an elf.’

It was my first time seeing an elf other than House Ishtar.

Elves of the Eastern Continent unlike the high elves Yellin had gray skin and purple eyes.

Even in Ishtar I had never seen skin and eye color like this.

However similar to Ishtar it was difficult to tell whether the lion was male or female due to the elven-specific beige color and neutral atmosphere.

The elf who came as the Sultan’s messenger bowed his head respectfully toward Zeke.

“Greetings to the Knight of Salvation. My name is Omar. I am the eldest son of the Hidayet family and I have come here to see Sir Zik at the command of the great Sultan.”

A fluent common language flowed from the lion’s mouth.

Zeke also greeted the lion politely.

“Thank you for coming such a long way. Please sit here.”

He guided the lion and Luther to their seats and brought out some tea.

Omar who was savoring the aroma of the tea Zeke brought out made a surprised expression.

“This is a really nice car. It is very similar to the car the Sultan gave me before.”

The car was sent from Ishtar.

Knowing that Zeke loved tea Ishtar always sent him the best as a gift.

He was surprised to hear that the Sultan had bestowed a type of tea similar to Ishtar.

‘Could it be that the Sultan is an elf too?’

Since no one in the Central Continent had ever seen the Sultan in person there was no way to know whether he was an elf a human or a dwarf.

Moreover the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent had been enemies for a long time so exchanges had been cut off for a long time.

Only a few people have kept in touch and even those who have kept it a secret are the majority.

According to the story handed down the Sultan was nothing less than the embodiment of evil.

As he thought about the Eastern Continent and the Sultan Zeke suddenly realized something.

‘Is this the feeling other people have when they see Drake?’

Ishtar and the Druids’ evaluation of Draker was not much different.

Zeke smiled faintly inside and said as he looked at Omar.

“It seems that His Excellency the Sultan is also interested in tea.”

Omar nodded at those words.

“For generations the palace has had a tradition of growing and enjoying good tea. Coffee is popular among young nobles these days but it cannot match the depth of tea.”

Zeke nodded to Omar’s words.

‘The coffee is bitter and I don’t know what it tastes like.’

The usual way to drink it was to grind the coffee beans into powder boil it in water and then add honey but even that was too bitter for Zig’s taste.

Omar who had been savoring his tea for a while put down his cup and spoke to Zeke.

“I have come to you despite my rudeness Sir Zeke Draker to ask you something.”

Zeke also put down his teacup and waited for Omar to speak.

I wondered what the Sultan was secretly trying to convey by sending a messenger.

Omar opened his mouth slowly.

“I heard that Sir Zeke Draker received the blessing of the Elven King and awakened the divine beast the Phoenix.”

Zeke nodded after hearing that.

“Yes. I received a blessing from the Fairy King at the Fairy Lake.”

Although I had not met her in person but had only spoken to her indirectly through the lake fairy I simply acknowledged and accepted the fact that I had been blessed.

Omar’s eyes wavered at Zeke’s words.

“Would it be possible for me to meet the divine Phoenix?”

At Omar’s cautious voice Zeke hesitated and turned his head toward his shoulder.

“Raven.”

When Zeke called his name the phoenix that had been sleeping within the boundary of the dimension appeared.

Kurururururu!

As if asking why he was calling while he was sleeping Raven spread her wings and poked Zeke with her beak.

Omar was surprised to see Raven like that and immediately knelt down towards the phoenix.

“Look Phoenix…! The divine being has really descended into the world of phenomena!”

Omar came down to the table and began to pray as he watched Raben peck at the snack with his beak.

Zeke looked at Omar like that and whispered quietly to Luther next to him.

“Why are you doing that?”

“The Muruk Empire regards the phoenix as a sacred being. There are many fantasy species in the Eastern Continent but among them the phoenix is ​​a rare and rare divine beast… Since the phoenix itself is an extremely auspicious omen the Sultan’s authority increases simply by having a phoenix appear in his generation.”

Zeke listened to Luther and looked at Raven who was eating a snack.

‘…The same goes for the Join tribe. Why do they all regard the phoenix as so sacred?’

Although Raven had grown a lot and was now a pretty girl Zig still felt unfamiliar with other people’s reactions.

Omar who had finished praying looked at Zeke with even more respectful eyes than before and said:

“His Majesty the Sultan would like to invite you and your Majesty the Phoenix to the palace.”

“Are you saying that the Sultan invited me?”

Zeke couldn’t help but be surprised at those words.

Since the Central Continent was invaded by the Eastern Empire’s expedition exchanges between the two continents have been cut off for a long time.

Although cultural goods did travel through the Republic of Dorta they were not brought in through formal trade.

In such a situation it was surprising that the Sultan personally invited Zik.

Perhaps this could be an opportunity to rekindle exchanges between the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent.

Zeke looked at Omar and said.

“It seems the Sultan is very interested in phoenixes.”

Omar nodded honestly.

“The wise and mysterious Shinsoo possesses miraculous powers. The Sultan would like to invite Sir Jik who has received the blessing of the Fairy King to hear the story of that time and also to experience the Shinsoo’s miraculous powers directly.”

As Luther said the phoenix in the Central Continent was a mysterious divine beast but in the Murk Empire its symbolism seemed to be different.

Zeke heard Omar’s words and asked him.

“If I accept the Sultan’s invitation how will I get to the Eastern Continent? It will take a long time to cross the Central Sea by boat.”

Omar shook his head at those words.

“You don’t need to take a boat. There is a portal set up in the Republic of Dorta that leads to the palace so you can get there quickly.”

“Are you saying there is a portal that leads directly to the Eastern Continent?”

Zeke was surprised by Omar’s words.

Because I didn’t know that there was a direct portal to the Republic of Dorta.

When Omar replied that it was so he hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

“Very well. I will accept the Sultan’s invitation.”

Omar’s face brightened at Zeke’s words.

If he had refused Omar who had come as a lion would have been in an awkward position.

Zeke asked Omar.

“When can I go to the palace?”

Omar smiled and replied to those words.

“The Sultan will treat you with a magnificent banquet and the finest delicacies whenever you visit. I just need to notify the palace before I leave so you can visit the palace with me within this year.”

Zeke looked surprised at Omar’s words.

In the Central Continent it was important to set a time for the invitation and visit according to that appointment.

However the Eastern Empire seemed to have a different sense of time than the Central Continent culture.

‘He said I only have to go this year so I have some time to spare.’

Zigg was already very interested in the Eastern Continent.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see the Eastern Continent and the Muruk Empire and feel the wider world.

‘I think Yellin and Hades would like it if we went together. I should ask them what they think.’

While Zeke was chatting with Omar asking him various questions about the Murk Empire.

Just then someone came into the room and surprisingly it was Boris.

If Boris who had been left to finish up the affairs of the Holy Land came to Zeke himself it seemed that something had happened.

As expected he approached Zeke with a stern expression and whispered in a low voice.

“Boss this is an emergency.”

After apologizing to Boris Zeke left the living room and headed toward his office.

Boris reported straight to Zeke.

“They say there’s a civil war on the empire side.”

Zeke nodded to Boris’s words.

Since the Emperor died in the tomb of the Holy King I thought that the fox-like Julius would take action.

“It was within the expected range. Did Julius put forward another member of the royal family?”

At those words Boris shook his head and opened his mouth with a stern expression.

“A new figure took control of Rom in an instant and executed the rest of the royal family.”

Zeke frowned at those words.

‘Take care of the rest of the royal family?’

When a coup d’état occurred it was common to eliminate members of the imperial family who could be a source of trouble.

The reason Zeke was impressed was because he heard that a new person had appeared.

“Who is the new person that has appeared?”

Boris opened his mouth.

“Abel Draker who had been missing has reappeared.”

Zeke’s face hardened at Boris’s words.

‘Abel is alive?’

Clearly Abel died at Zeke’s hands.

He cut off the neck himself and used the power of corruption on the corpse as well.

Of course I couldn’t believe that Abel was alive.

Zeke asked Boris.

“Have you confirmed that Abel is alive? Not by some other substitute or magic?”

Boris nodded.

“This is a summary of information from various sources. The Black Stage has also confirmed the facts.”

If Abel himself had been confirmed on the black stage there was no choice but to admit that he was alive.

Zeke’s expression became more serious than before.

‘There’s no way he just came back to life. Ramon Siemens. That guy did something.’

Then Boris said to Zeke.

“Boss this is not the urgent matter I was trying to tell you about.”

“Is there anything more urgent than this?”

Boris opened his mouth looking at Zeke with a stern face.

“Julius the Imperial Consul has contacted me and wants to meet with Boss.”
