Various fruits were placed in front of me. Since I was a human in my previous life, I was able to teach them how to grill meat
"The meat is so delicious! It doesn't smell like the ones I've eaten! This is just grilled meat! I've seen humans eat many types of food!" The White Dragon Worshiping Priest said happily after eating the grilled meat. It was just ordinary grilled meat, but to the Dragonoids who had been eating raw meat their entire lives, it was extremely delicious to them
"It's a basic human food... but if it's not grilled properly, it can have a fishy taste in your mouth" I used to be a famous chef I could grill meat easily
"I see! So you've been with kind humans before!" The white dragon worshipper said, looking at the child who was grilling meat
"Yes... and that woman is my mother... She is very kind and inspired me to love cooking" She inspired me to become a chef
"I think she'd be proud of you..." The white dragon worshipper said, taking a bite of the roasted meat
"I think so too... But what is your name, White Dragon Worshiper? I already know Ignis It's you and the Black Dragon Worshiper whose name I don't know" He asked curiously, because he wanted to know
"I'm the youngest, my name is Sanil My second oldest brother, who worships the black dragon, is Zenil My oldest brother is Ignis, who you know," Sanil said, before continuing to eat the meat greedily
"You look fierce... but when I really get to know you, you're not like the image in my head..." He smiled wryly me felt funny towards the other person for some reason The other person should be quite old, but he acted like a child
"Actually, I'm the youngest among my siblings The position was given to me by the previous leader... Both my physical strength and intelligence are inferior to my two brothers. I'm only 2,100 years old, which is about 7 years of human lifespan I haven't even lived yet... My brothers, Ignis, are 4,500 years old, and Sanil is 3,500 years old" Sanil said sadly
*Dividing the age of the dragon and dragonoid by 3 will give you the average human, dragon, and dragonoid lifespan of 5,000-6,000 years
*Sanil = The White Dragon Worshiping
*Zenil=The B lack Dragon Worshiping
"Maybe Sometimes... just sometimes, I want to run away and never look back... but because the duty is very important, living a lifetime cannot complete this mission The previous generation has passed on their will to the next generation, to continue and maintain that hope... one day you will understand, little one" Sanil said seriously
Inheritance of the will? I don't understand... Why do we have to suffer for something we don't want to do?
"Oh my gosh, let's go change! I have to take you to the ritual~" Sanil said with a smile before carrying the little boy to the bathroom
"I'll be waiting outside If you need anything else, just tell me," Sanil said with a smile before going outside to wait for the employee
"Dig a pit and heat it with fire..." He slowly got into the pit and dipped his head in
The hot water is just right...like a herbal drink It feels so good...There's a herbal scent too? If I remember correctly, these scents are used to nourish the skin...
"A towel... and clothes?" I looked at the well-knitted clothes Although there were only a few patterns, they were the patterns of the Dragonoid tribe Don't ask me why I knew the dragon pattern was so prominent... But the clothes were similar to Sanil's, but simpler and less luxurious
I slowly wiped my body, looking at the whip wounds and the bruises from being attacked If I hadn't taken over his body, the other party would have become extinct, having died from being attacked over and over again
I looked at the outfit before slowly putting it on It looked like a kimono but it was sleeveless and had pants I had worn it once before... when I went to Japan with my mom, but it wasn't like this...
"This obi is really hard to tie, but I can't help it because I haven't worn it in a long time" I slowly tied the obi until it was finished I looked at my work with admiration for how beautifully it was tied
"..." I walked out with a clean body
"Good! Follow me! You must join the others! You are one of the people who must participate in the ritual to become part of the tribe" He smiled before leading me to the center of the village, which was the ceremonial grounds
"Why are there only adults here, armed?" I asked, sitting next to Sanil
After that, Sanil explained that they couldn't spread knowledge or make a contract with something weaker. Surviving in the Dragon Forest for a year would be the test of whether you were worthy of making a contract or teaching If you could, then you could That included the case of the Elf, which was me Oh... But he said that I was an Elf and could use blue fire demon magic I would definitely survive Sanil said that when he was young, he was also sent to train in that forest There were only weaklings and he might even find a treasure It was because humans found treasure and became rich ,so there were greedy people who wanted to enter that forest, but because it was our territory, no one dared to challenge it
"Now, you foolish and ignorant humans, today is the day the ritual begins Tomorrow, you may depart for the Dragon Forest Whether you travel or stay in the forest for a year is up to you But if anything happens, we will not be held responsible! We have already warned you foolish humans like you many times" Ignis said
"Before you go to sleep...please come to my room I have something for you..." I nodded in response to the order ,When Sanil speaks
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed to sleep
After the ceremony, everyone went to sleep, but I went to find Sanil at the other party's request
"I have something to give you," he said before picking up the box that was under the bed
"Arm Armor? Thank you
..." Me put it on slowly
"You have to come back alive... I'll wait until you come back" Sanil smiled before patting the little boy's head in front of him with love and affection
"Yes...goodnight, Sanis see you tomorrow" me walked back to the bedroom
