Nothing important happened along the way, beyond finding any other beast, but they ran out when they saw us. Perhaps it is because we grew a little more during these last days.

Kaiba: (I would like to know if this crazy growth is due to the levels, I have to say that I have only 5 weeks old and I have already grown a lot.)

[System]: (The growth is linked to its level, but leveling up As fast as the Host is doing it will make the pain increase in its next evolutions.)

[Kaiba]: (Oh, that doesn't sound good ..)

[System]: (The dragon is supposed to pass its first evolutionary phase if They have been in the previous one for about 6 months and which the host wants to access soon would be close to 2 years.)

[Kaiba]: (So you're telling me that the pain we are going to feel is going to increase sporadically, well ... )

After these three days of traveling accompanying the merchants, we arrived at the city of Squamata.

Once there the guards stopped us. I didn't get much information about the city so I was a little surprised that the inhabitants were no longer the dragonborn. They looked more like lizardmen and based on what I saw with the state inspection, It confirmed my suspicions.

Also another big difference was in its size, at least the ones I saw were around two meters high.

We were able to skip the entrance queue thanks to the merchants. Although two of them approached us.

[Guard]: "Could I ask you what is doing a Royal and two guards of the royal guard, doing here?"

[Kaiba]: "We only came as an escort for this carriage and to explore those ruins that are giving so much trouble."

[Guard 2]: “And for that they send a dragon as young as you. I would recommend you not to go as many have been lost there. ”

[Kaiba]: "Thanks for the warning, but we knew that before we came."

They quickly checked the car to see that everything was correct and they let us enter the city.

The walls were as high as in the capital of the dragons, but inside you could see the difference in the constructions, they were smaller, although there were some other constructions that if adapted to the sizes of the dragonborns.

[Kaiba]: (I hope they have a place for us or we will have to camp outside.)

We said goodbye to the merchant dragonborns, but without asking them if there was any place for us to rest. Luckily there was a place but it was quite expensive according to what they told us, but with the 25 gold coins they gave us for the trip we should be able to last here, although of course I still have quite a few more coins in my inventory.

We arrived at dawn at the city, we had time to go take a look at the city and look for that inn.

[Kaiba]: (I should pay the room for these guards who accompany us or they will pay theirs roms. I don't think the king didn't give them any money for this, right?)

I turned to ask them what they were going to do.

[Kaiba]: "Hey guards, do you have money to pay where we are going?"

[Guard]: "You don't have to worry about it."

[Kaiba]: "Okay, well since we are with us we didn't even ask what are your names are, you have been with us since we arrived and we don't even know it."

[Agnus]: "My name is Agnus."

[Stannor]: "And I Stannor."

[Kaiba]: "Well now that we know your names it will be easier to address you, since we don't know what is down there, it will be useful for us to strategize, I hope."

[Kaiba]: “Right, I almost forgot. I've been wanting to ask you for a while why you came with us, that is, what the king wants so much. ”

[Agnus]: "Honestly, the King did not say anything specific only that we protect you, since you are too young and do not know the risks that you may encounter and you will be overcome in a situation."

[Stannor]: "He just wants you to stay alive, you are a dragonet and you already want to eat the world."

[Kaiba]: "It's not that I want to eat the world, I want to get stronger to avoid those situations."

[Agnus]: "And get fully into a place where several adventurers have already disappeared and nobody knows why."

[Kaiba]: "I know it sounds bad, but I have the feeling of going there for some reason."

[Stannor]: “Okey, but try not to get into big trouble. I doubt the king would let you go to this place if he didn't know something. ”

[Kaiba]: "Know what?"

[Stannor]: "No idea, but I doubt they would let a dragonet your age leave this place, there will be some reason."

[Kaiba]: “Well we will have to ask him when we return, although it is certainly difficult to access. Maybe I will ask Mykos. ”

[Kaiba]: "Let's continue on our way to that inn they told us, I want to see a bit of the area of ​​those ruins before doing anything else."

We came up to the inn after going around the streets several times and since I forgot to use the map, we got lost a bit at some point and we had to ask again.

We had to pay about 10 silver coins for one day at the inn.

It didn't take us long to get the rooms, I paid one for myself and my Siblings and the guards caught another one of the rooms, if we could call them that because, honestly, the building where they took us looked like a stable, although inside it is decorated and We had more than enough space for the three of us. There was only one large pillow on the floor, which was for sleeping on it. No problem for us since they always stack on me.

Shortly after seeing the rooms for a bit we went together to the guards and headed towards the ruins that were an hour's walk away from the city.

In the middle of the road we stopped to have some snacks that I bought in the city, shortly after that we reached the ruins.

[Kaiba]: "Okay, we have to investigate where the other teams that came here are and if we can discover the use that was given to these ruins, but the main objective is to rescue the teams."

We began to investigate the surroundings, for a long time we found nothing, until drake found some inscriptions and just below some stone slabs that seemed quite suspicious.

Luckily I know Elvish and I could read it, it was a bit difficult at first because I was not good at the language yet.

[Kaiba]: "Only those who were chosen with their knowledge of a previous life, will be able to obtain the secret that awaits in this temple"

[Kaiba]: "Well, this has become interesting, as we said before exploring the area a bit more in case we found anything else, then we will come back and try to look for information on these ruins there in the city."

[Drake]: "Why we can't go, if we're here."

[Kaiba]: "I am not going anywhere without knowing what is there."

We explored for a while longer and found nothing more relevant, so we returned to the city and went to our room, the guardians went to theirs.

Once there, I spent the rest of the day asking the system about those ruins. Apparently they were from an Elfic clan, they built this temple identified in a legend, and the way to enter, by what the system told me would be to imbue that stone we saw with the writings, with mana.

[Kaiba]: (I still do not understand how other adventurers knew that, perhaps there are already writings about that temple and which do not bother me to search for this system.)

When everyone was asleep they piled on top of me, after making sure they were all asleep I slipped away from them.

[Kaiba]: (Sorry guys but don't get into that problem, for some reason I feel that something bad is going to happen and I don't think I can protect them if something fatal happens...)

[Kaiba]: (Curious, I've only been in this world for 4 weeks and I’m so fond of these three dragons. But I'm sure I don't want anything bad to happen to them.)

I left the room quietly.

[Kaiba]: (I hope to do this quickly, I know they will come after me when they wake up, and if I don't finish for a while at least I hope they don't figure out how to get in.)

What I wasn't expecting was just as Stannor came out in front of me.

[Stannor]: "Where are you supposed to go?"

[Kaiba]: "ehhh ..."

[Stannor]: “You were going to the ruins on your own right. I admire your courage but it doesn't work when you're dead, what do you think your siblings would think if they lost you. Even I know you are admired and I have little with you. "

[Kaiba]: "That is what I want to avoid, I prefer to go alone and have more problems that come into their lives and if they also advise me the A-rank teams that did not return."

[Stannor]: "And knowing that you wanted to go alone."

[Kaiba]: "Look, it may not be that dangerous for me or maybe it is, but even if I told you, don't believe me."

[Stannor]: “I don't care, we have very clear orders so if you want to go without your perfect siblings, but we will have to accompany you. After all you are in charge of your problem with them. "

[Kaiba]: "Okay but don't wake them up please."

[Stannor]: "I will not, It's your choice but someone don’t agrees with you."

[Kaiba]: "Eh?"

[Luna]: "I clearly disagree with your decision, little brother."

[Kaiba]: “Hey! At what time, if you were not awake "

[Luna]: “I just smelled that you were going to do something, I don't know if you realize it but every time you get nervous or sad something that not even you seem to be sure, you have your tail and your head down, plus the fact the rush to come back so fast and that you didn't even go to what you said on the way to investigate. "

[Kaiba]: "Okay, I'm bad at lying from what i can see."

[Luna]: “Why do you want to go without us? What, don't you trust any of us to help you? Luna said already quite pissed off

[Kaiba]: "If I trust you only that ..."

[Luna]: "The one who!"

[Kaiba]: "I am afraid of losing .."

[Luna]: “And what do you think would happen if you didn't come back? You know how it would affect us too.

[Kaiba]: "I ..."

[Luna]: "Enough excuses, tonight you stay here and tomorrow we will ALL go"

[Kaiba]: "Okay". (Luna is pretty scary when she gets mad.)

I went back to the room next to Luna, I went back to the subway next to Rhaegal and drake. Luna stepped to the side, closing me in and putting strength so I didn't move.

[Kaiba]: (A long night awaits me ...)
