Sea Dragon Aquilo #1

Sea Dragon Aquilo…

In this era, only a few people remembered the name. However, sailors who lived on the sea once dreaded even speaking this name.

The sea serpent, a monster who could create a huge wave with a wave of its tail and who governed storms… Some people referred to it as one of the two disasters of the sea, along with the kraken, but they were actually in entirely different categories.

“Blue dragon?!”

“Yes.”

Randolph raised his voice after being informed of this fact, and Theodore replied in a calm manner.

From the beginning, ‘sea serpent’ was just a title. In the minds of ordinary people, a dragon was a monster that flew through the sky with two wings, not a swimmer in the sea with a long body like a snake.

However, the dragon was never a species distinguished by the presence of wings, so calling it a serpent was nothing more than ignorance. They were the strongest species of the material world and the rulers over natural laws!

In particular, the sea dragon, Aquilo, was the most notorious among the blue dragon clan, ruling over the sea since a long time ago.

Based on archaeological records, it was an adult dragon that would’ve lived for a least a thousand years. The last time it appeared had been 150 years ago, when it woke up from a nap and wiped out a fleet from the Soldun Kingdom.

‘I’ve looked up the name in the library a few times, but it is never a good thing.’

Back when Theodore lived in the academy’s library, he had read thousands of books, regardless of their type.

Among them, there had naturally been books containing legends and folktales about the continent. The name Aquilo had appeared only a few times, but he hadn’t forgotten it. His fingers were lacking if he wanted to count all the actions in his memories.

Sweeping away a port city because their tribute was a few days late…

Killing a wandering minstrel because his lyrics were unpleasant…

Sinking a fishing boat because the number of boats had reduced…

In addition, the number of ships sunk and people killed was as numerous as the stars.

However, despite the tyranny, Aquilo couldn’t be properly killed. Surrounded by the vast reaches of the sea, which was much more spacious than the land, Aquilo’s power became exceedingly powerful, making it almost invincible in the sea.

“…In other words, we must absolutely never touch it.”

“Yes, I think so as well.”

The opinions of the two people, who would be regarded as strong in every part of the world, coincided without any errors. When considering the general power of an adult dragon, it was said that two masters were needed to equal it, and three were required to kill it reliably.

Even Veronica complained that she couldn’t be certain of victory in a one-on-one match, so it was impossible for a 6th Circle magician and half-master swordsman.

After deciding on a stance of non-aggression, Randolph opened his mouth first. “Hrmm, so we should stay low during our remaining time here?”

“Yes, we can’t get involved in any situations.”

Theodore examined the knowledge he had recently absorbed from Satomer. It was in order to confirm the concept of ‘domain,’ which was still unfamiliar to him. According to Satomer’s knowledge, the ‘domain’ of a dragon could also be called their lair, a place where they stored collected treasures and nested.
