“Do you want to know everything about the world, Alfredo?”

“No, but I would like to know as much as possible.”

“Very well. In return for your greed, let me tell you. This land has the power to attract all things. Do you understand that?”

It’s the force of attraction, isn’t it?

I don’t know if the principle is the same as in my previous life, but the effect would be almost the same.

Otherwise, the living things would have a completely different shape.

“Yes, because if you take your hand off the apple, it will fall to the ground.”

The Queen of the Third Sky seemed to give a small laugh.

“And it is not only the land that has the power to attract. There is an invisible covering that covers the heavens, far in the sky. We call it the Great Canopy. This canopy has the power to attract certain things. But only those born from it can receive its power.”

“Are dragons born from the heavens?”

“Yes. When a mass of magical power coming from further away than the canopy of the heavens burns up inside the canopy of the heavens, we call that the burning of the heavens. It is said that during the burning of the heavenly flame, the first ancestor was born.”

A mass of magical power? Is magic a matter?

""

“Does magic power by itself become matter?”

“No. It looks like a lump of rock at first glance, but when the heavenly fire occurs, an enormous amount of magical power overflows. At that time, even night will be as bright as day.”

Does she mean meteorites?

It was told in my previous life that meteorites have mysterious powers, but it’s really true here.

What a mysterious thing…

“Are they still born that way?”

“I can’t say that it’s the only way. When we die, our souls return to the Great Canopy of Heaven. They are rarely visible at that time. You said that the small ones are ascending dragons. When the souls that have returned to the great canopy and the wavelengths that emanate from the heavenly fire are in opposition to each other, a family is born. The other is that …… when a mating pair attracts magical power, and magical power comes down from the great canopy of heaven, a child is conceived.”

So dragons don’t mate, but they procreate in other ways.

“So there are many conditions… Are only those born from the canopy of the heavens can attract the heavens?”

“That’s right. The inducement from the heavens is stronger than the spell of the earth, and it flies in the sky. By adjusting the force of the inducement from the heavens, we maintain our height. And when we are flying in the sky, we can move forward only by the force of our will.”

“This is a completely different principle from that of the winged tribe. I believe the winged tribe flies by influencing the ground.”

The Queen of the Third Sky seemed to laugh a little.

I notice that the inflection has become more like a normal conversation.

I wonder if her body learns to fluctuate her emotions as we continue our conversation.

“Alfredo. It’s too bad. The winged tribe is the residue of the birth of our ancestors on the surface of the earth. And they are always drawn to the heavens. But the spell of the earth is strong. Therefore, they fly by weakening the spell of the earth. But when the power to weaken the spell weakens, they fall to the earth.”

Oh… so I’m wrong.

But I am very grateful that she’s telling me so.

“Thank you, Queen of the Third Sky. Thanks to you, I might be able to sleep well.”

“There are those who fall to the earth when our souls are defiled. They cannot fly as high as we can. But we, too, cannot fly now that the Great Canopy is in place. We can only reach it when we become souls. The Great Canopy of Heaven is a realm that is inaccessible to the living.”

And there are even freebies…

I feel like revering the Queen of the Third Sky.

“Thank you. I am very happy to hear about the Great Canopy of the Heavens. Is this a story I’m not allowed to tell anyone?”

“I don’t care if you talk about it. I have not had such a good time in a long time. Now that I have told you this story, I have one favor to ask of you and your little friends. When the curtain falls from the Great Canopy of Heaven in this land, it will be a sign that a family has been born somewhere, though it is not often. Even if it’s a small thing, please bless us. With the blessing of the little ones, the family will grow up healthy and happy.”

I wonder if she’s talking about the Aurora.

If auroras occur in a place that is not in the Arctic Circle, is it a sign that a dragon has been born?

“Then let the aurora be a good omen, and let it be a festival in Ravenna. We can call it a blessing for the miracle of nature.”

“No problem. I thank you very much for not mentioning our name. Then I shall return you now.”

The Queen of the Third Sky said, and my body slowly floated up and was lowered back to its original place.

Then a voice rang out.

“Farewell, then. Little one and all.”

With that voice, the fog lifted and my vision cleared.

People and horses, which had been standing still for a moment, began to move.

Soon after, Charles returned on his horse.

He seemed to be accustomed to the situation and quickly calmed the horses.

“My lord, it seems you’re alright. I thought I saw something amazing…”

I chuckled.

“There is nothing to impede our march now. We’ll march on once things calm down.”

Charles looked puzzled, but then his face returned to a straight face.

“Have you had a talk with the dragon?”

I shrugged and showed him the object.

“Well, something like that.”

Charles shook his head.

“From [Dragon Slayer] to [Dragon Negotiator], huh. I’m afraid, my lord, that boredom is the least of my worries…”

Don’t add another strange name…

And it took us a while to get the confusion under control.

We even tracked down the heartless horse that had run away, and the march would begin tomorrow.

Finally, the demon territory.
