A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 375



Episode 375

As he felt the dragon’s aura in the middle of the jungle and was wondering a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

―Hidden Quest―

[Follow the dragon’s spirit and find the mysterious identity hidden in the jungle.]

[Quest Mission Reward: Hidden Random Box]

‘Hidden Quest?’

The quests I’ve received so far have been either main quests or achievement quests.

Since this was his first time receiving a hidden quest Zeke guessed that there must be something important hidden here.

‘The gate has been closed and I have dealt with the upper-level demons so I think I can deal with the remaining monsters within the Republic of Dorta.’

After much thought Zeke decided to find out what the hidden quest was before returning to the Central Continent.

He headed beyond the jungle where he felt the energy.

As we made our way through the jungle we were surprised to find a large stone covered in moss and vines inside.

Zik walked up to the stone and picked at the moss and vines.

Despite having been abandoned for a long time the surface of the megalith was quite smooth.

‘I can feel the dragon’s magic here. It seems like an ancient ruin.’

Both the guard tower in the barbarian village and Agamemnon’s castle were ancient ruins created by dragon magic.

Zeke felt that it was no coincidence that he had discovered the ancient ruins where the aura of a dragon could be felt even though he had been sent there by Hades by mistake and arrived there through his magic.

He breathed mana into the stone.

Wooooow!

As Zeke had expected unfamiliar letters appeared on the surface of the monolith that had accepted his mana.

At the same time a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The upper management system is attempting to access the ‘Forest of Dense Silence’.]

[Recognize the Senior Manager in the ‘Forest of Dense Silence’.]

[Check those who have received the title Blessing of the Ancient Dragon.]

[Check the successor of the title Sword Master.]

[Check the title fairy’s blessing.

[Gives you an access code.]

[Unseal the ‘Lush Forest of Silence’.]

Tsk tsk tsk―

As I was given the access code to the area the monolith was pushed away and a completely different landscape unfolded before my eyes.

‘uh?’

A cleanly maintained road appeared with obelisks resembling megaliths standing on both sides of it.

As Zeke looked around at the changed environment he saw a huge Komodo dragon running fiercely along the road.

When Zeke raised his head and looked at the lizard he was surprised to see someone riding on it.

‘get out?’

A warrior from the Naga race a serpentine race with a small population and a mysterious race rode a Komodo dragon and raced up to Zig.

Saaaaaaaa―

As Naga pulled on the reins the Komodo dragon raised its forelegs and stopped right in front of Zeke.

Naga who was riding on a lizard landed in front of Zig with a nimble movement.

The Naga warrior standing before Zig wore traditional attire with ornate patterns and over it was armor made of solid wood and he was carrying a shield.

He had a machete on his waist and a long spear in his hand.

The Naga warrior looked at Zig then bowed and spoke politely.

“I meet a great being.”

Zeke realized that the Naga warrior had mistaken him for a dragon.

He said as he looked at the warrior.

“I’m sorry but I’m not a dragon.”

The man who was leaving looked at Zig in surprise then nodded.

“Of course you would. You must be having fun… Sorry. My thoughts were short-sighted.”

Zeke thought that the Naga warrior had misunderstood something but decided to leave it as is for fear of explaining it would be too complicated.

He went out and looked at the warrior and asked.

“Is this a village of the Naga tribe?”

At those words the warrior straightened his back puffed out his chest and nodded with a proud expression.

“Yes great… no just existence.”

Seeing Naga looking embarrassed as to what to call Zeke Zeke told him his name.

“Please call me Zeke.”

Naga smiled brightly when he learned Zig’s name.

“Yes Master Zik! My name is Kuesh. I am the best warrior of the Silent Forest Tribe.”

Quesi proudly held his ornate shield forward.

Zeke nodded and made an expression of admiration at the sight of such a Kueshi.

“Nice to meet you Kuesi.”

Kuesi smiled and told Zeke to climb onto his Komodo dragon and lead him to his village.

Although he was originally a Komodo dragon known for his ferocity he was like a gentle puppy in front of Zeke who had the power of domination of dragon species and the title of divine beast’s grace skill empathy.

Quesi was convinced that Zigg was indeed a great being as he watched him handle the Komodo dragon so nonchalantly.

Zig climbed onto a Komodo dragon with Kuesi and headed into Naga’s village.

The path through the dense forest was cleanly maintained and stretched out for quite a long time.

‘If the entrance is this long the village must be quite large.’

As I was riding the Komodo dragon a giant obelisk suddenly appeared at the end of the road.

And then as the view of the village gradually came into view Zik opened his mouth wide.

‘What is that?’

What unfolded before my eyes was not a small town but a place almost the size of a medium-sized city in the Midlands.

It was surprising that such a huge city existed in the middle of the southern jungle.

‘Is this the mystery hidden in the jungle that the quest spoke of?’

But the message that the quest mission was successful has not yet appeared.

The mystery the system spoke of seemed to exist within the city.

As he was calmly surveying the city again Kueshi stopped the lizard in front of the entrance to the city.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Naga warriors dressed in similar attire to the Kueshi came out and checked the dog tags hanging around the lizard’s neck.

Zik noticed that the shields the warriors carried were smaller and less ornate than Kuesh’s.

‘The stronger the warrior the bigger and more ornate the shield he can have.’

While Zig was thinking about the culture here the inspection was over and Kueshi took Zig into the city.

Once we entered the city it was a completely different world.

High-rise buildings made from remodeled giant trees that had lived for tens of thousands of years were located everywhere and Komodo dragons moved orderly along the roads keeping watch at traffic lights.

Nagas which are hard to find in the Central Continent can be seen everywhere here.

It was a city full of Nagas.

Zig looked at the city from his lizard mount and spoke to Kuesi.

“This is truly amazing. I didn’t know a city like this existed.”

Kueshi nodded at those words.

“Our tribe chose to completely isolate ourselves from the outside world for the survival of the Naga race. The wise man of the silent forest created this home for us.”

Quesi took Zigg to the largest tree in the center of the city.

The giant tree located right behind the obelisk looked like the world tree from mythology but upon closer inspection it was seen to be being used as a building.

It looked like they had built some kind of tower using a huge tree.

“Mr. Zeek please come this way.”

Kuesi took Zigg inside.

The interior was decorated in a modern style contrary to Zig’s expectations.

Just looking at the interior of the building you would be mistaken into thinking you had entered a state-of-the-art building in Midland.

Seeing the surprised Zig Kueshi smiled and said.

“Although we are said to be cut off from the outside world we are still conducting indirect exchanges. We send selected personnel to the Central Continent to learn advanced knowledge and use it for the benefit of the entire village.”

The Naga race was famous for being smart and wise.

‘It’s certainly possible to go out and do this. If it were another race it would have been difficult for them to develop to this extent.’

Zik nodded and followed Kuesi inside the building.

Then Zeke saw an even more amazing sight.

‘Portal?’

I witnessed an absurd situation where people were moving upwards using portals instead of elevators.

After standing on the magic circle with Zig Kueshi said which floor he wanted to go to.

Woohoo!

As the magic circle worked I was instantly transported to the top floor.

‘her.’

Zig who swallowed a laugh at the surprising situation looked around where he had arrived. It seemed like he had moved to the top floor.

On the top floor you could see the city through a peephole. It was called a peephole but the tree itself was so large that it was like a large window several meters across.

As they were looking out the window Kuesi spoke to Zig.

“Come this way. The wise man wishes to meet with you Zeke.”

Zig was surprised to hear Kuesi’s words.

“A wise man? Are you talking about the wise man of the quiet forest?”

Kueshi nodded to Zik’s question.

If what Quesi said was true then we would be meeting another dragon that still exists aside from Hades.

While Kueshi was inwardly flustered by the unexpected situation he calmly took Zigg and headed to where the wise man was staying.

Entering a room under his guidance Zeke opened his eyes wide. The countless books were overwhelming.

The walls were filled with books tightly packed everywhere.

Zeke opened his mouth wide at the sight of the enormous collection of books.

‘Have you read all of this?’

As he was thinking such pointless thoughts Kueshi lowered his head to one side.

“I have brought a wise man as a guest.”

When I turned my head in the direction Kueshi was facing there was a desk in one corner of the bookshelf.

In front of the desk an old man with green hair and glasses was reading a thick book.

‘A wise man of the quiet forest.’

Contrary to Zeke’s expectations the sage was in the form of an elf not a Naga.

After the wise man finished reading the part he was reading he closed the thick book and put it aside.

The wise man who raised his head had a more strict and stubborn expression than expected.

Even though he was the same wise man he felt different from the hermit in the story who seemed to have many loopholes.

The wise man looked at Kuesi and said:

“Thank you for your hard work Kuesh. Now let’s get back to our mission.”

Kueshi bowed his head to the wise man’s words greeted him politely and then went out.

Zeke tensed slightly at the stern expression of the wise man.

The wise man adjusted his glasses and looked at Zeke.

“You are the successor of the Sword Saint with the blessing of the Dragon and the blessing of the Fairy. What is your true identity?”

Surprisingly the wise man knew exactly what Zig’s administrator access history was.

Zeke tried to relax and looked at the wise man.

“You can use the Kabbalah system.”

At those words the wise man looked at Zeke and said.

“I even know the name of the Kabbalah system… I’m becoming more and more curious about its identity.”

As the wise man stretched out his hand a system window appeared before him.

A system window overlapped Ziggy’s head and various pieces of information began to appear without pause.

The wise man read through the information and then after a while spoke to Zeke.

“Have you come to find the seal of Kronos?”

Zeke was surprised by the wise man’s words.

“Is this here? The seal of Kronos?”

At those words the wise man thought for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.

“So you’re saying that you were looking for the Seal of Kronos but you didn’t know that the Seal was here?”

Zeke nodded to the wise man’s words.

“Yes I was fighting the demons in the Republic of Dorta a few hours ago but something came up and I ended up teleporting here by chance.”

The wise man listened to Zeke’s words and asked with a puzzled expression.

“It fell here by chance. Is it really a coincidence?”

Zig pondered the wise man’s words and then slowly answered.

“I don’t know about that. It happened because Hades the hermit of the Black River was blocking the space magic of the demons. That’s why I think it might not be a simple coincidence.”

The wise man opened his eyes wide in surprise at Zeke’s words.

“Hades! Did that kid from the Black Clan break free of Blanca’s shackles and come out?”

Zig nodded in response to the wise man’s words.

“Yes it’s been a while since the seal was released. You didn’t release it yourself I did.”

“You broke that seal? How on earth did you do it?”

He was a wise man who took interest in unexpected places.

Zeke first explained in detail the process of breaking Hades’ seal.

The wise man raised his hand as he listened to Jacques’ explanation and stopped him from speaking.

“Just wait a minute.”

He took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to organize what Zeke had explained.

And if there was something I was curious about I continued to write it down asking questions in more detail.

After completing this series of processes the wise man looked amazed.

“I didn’t know there was such a method. It was called a zigg. That’s great improvisation.”

The wise man’s expression had softened a lot since he first saw Zeke.

As Zeke nodded in gratitude feeling relieved inside the wise man began to move from where he was sitting.

‘The chair moves?’

The wise man approached Zig sitting on a chair with wheels that moved by itself.

He looked up at Zeke and said.

“Come I have something to show you.”
