Volume 1 Chapter 40 Defeating the Mercenary Corps and Saving the Frost Dragon
I received word from a wyvern patrolling the area that it heard the cries of an injured dragon.
In the dead of night, I rushed to the scene on the back of a wyvern and found the frost dragon sprawled on top of the castle.
I was immediately lowered near the dragon.
'Who are you?'
"I'm Zeke. A beast veterinarian. Sorry, but please show me your body right away."
The frost dragon nodded obediently.
I conducted blood tests and examined her condition.
"Damn! What is this barrier? It's incredibly tough!"
From beneath the castle, ruffians began their assault.
They're likely those trying to hunt this dragon.
To be blunt, they're fools.
Ancient dragons are wise.
They don't come down to human settlements without a strong reason.
If such a dragon has come down, it's reasonable to think something must have happened.
"There's an egg stuck inside, causing difficult labor. Necrosis has started. This is a critical situation..."
'Is the baby in my belly okay?! I don't care what happens to me, just please save this child!'
"Don't worry. I'll save both you and the baby."
Slowly... the dragon begins to shed tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but we need to go back to my country right away and have a surgery."
'Surgery...?'
"Simply put, cut open the abdomen and take out the eggs. Are you scared?"
The frost dragon looked at me and shook her head.
'I entrust everything to you, beast veterinarian with a pure heart and soul'
Still, if I try to carry her to the beastman country, there will be some obstacles.
So, I leave the dragon for now and descend into the castle garden.
"Hey, you guys are in the way. Get out of the way."
"Huh!? What's with that attitude! Do you know that I'm a from [Hungry Black Wolves] and you're saying that!?"
The bad leader is threatening me.
I'm pretty sure they were a group of thugs in name only.
"It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. The patient's life comes first. Sorry, but please go away."
"Shut up! You're planning on stealing that dragon, aren't you? I won't let you do that!"
These idiots think I'm some kind of adventurer or something.
"You bastards! Kill himmmm!"
The men all leap at me at once.
"[Paralyze]"
Jolt!
Everyone freezes on the spot.
"Huh!? What the... is this!? I can't move!"
Though they're paralyzed, it seems they've trained enough to avoid falling over.
I move quickly and jab an anesthetic needle into the back of the nearest man's neck.
Thud!
The man collapses.
This anesthetic needle is coated with a substance to put magic beasts to sleep.
Using skills takes a bit longer to put them to sleep.
I swiftly jab anesthetic needles into the other mercenaries.
"Huh!? What's this guy, he's super fast!"
Everyone rapidly falls asleep.
"D-damn it!"
The mob character tries to swing his greatsword.
But I form a fist and smash the belly of the greatsword away.
"N-no way!? You broke my top-grade, orichalcum greatsword with one hit!?"
"Shut up"
I inject the anesthetic needle into the character mob, forcing them to sleep.
It took about 10 seconds.
"You subdued a group of skilled mercenaries in just a moment!?"
For some reason, the Prime Minister and the King were nearby.
"I can't believe it... Zeke... You... you were that strong...?"
The king mutters in shock, but I ignore him and head to the frost dragon.
"Sorry. I'll send you to Beastman country right away."
I draw a magic formula around the frost dragon.
'Zeke...You are very strong. You have the potential to slay a dragon and become a hero. So why are you trying to save my life, a magic beast?'
I pat the confused frost dragon's head.
"Even if it's a magic beast, it's my job as a veterinarian to save living beasts."
The teleportation (magic to send an object to a distant place) spell is completed.
'You're a great man, Zeke. You're nothing compared to those thugs and that incompetent king.'
The magic formula unfolded, and the frost dragon was teleported to the beastman country.
"We'll go back to the country too. Please."
'Leave it to me, big bro!'
I'm riding on the wyvern's back.
"W-Wait, Zeke!"
The king shouts at me.
"I-It was for a noble cause! If you insist, I can offer you a position as court veterinarian!"
"I don't need it."
"W-What!? Why!?"
"I'm already working as a beast veterinarian in the beastman country."
"W-What did you say!?"
I hurry to leave the place.
"W-Wait, Zeke! Hey! Come back! Hey! Pleaseeee!"
