Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Subaru Natsuki stepped forward, stood in front of Reinhard, and suddenly squatted down.

Reinhard was startled and subconsciously looked down. How had his shoelaces come undone again without him noticing?

Natsuki Subaru tightened his shoelaces, stood up, patted Reinhard on the shoulder, and asked with bright eyes:

"Reinhard".

"I have a favor to ask."

"Could you... help me capture a dragon alive?"

Chapter 68: 066. Natsuki Subaru also wants to become a leader of the Witch Cult.

After Natsuki Subaru finished speaking, the long street remained silent for a full two breaths.

Felt first looked up at the night sky, as if to confirm whether there really was a dragon waiting for them to catch, then turned to Reinhard with a bewildered expression.

"Capture a dragon alive?"

Reinhard's expression also momentarily froze.

He looked at Natsuki Subaru's hand on his shoulder, then at the shoelaces the other had just tied for him, and finally his gaze returned to Natsuki's face.

I tried to find a trace of a joke on that serious face.

No.

Subaru Natsuki's eyes shone with an alarming light, as if they could already see him riding a dragon into the capital, receiving cheers from the people, and his lord vying for his attention.

Reinhardt remained silent for a moment.

No, no, it can't be?

Even if Subaru is already this outrageous, it shouldn't be this outrageous.

He realized he had been overthinking things.

So he smiled and asked what he thought was the most likely option:

"Subaru, are you trying to catch an earth dragon?"

"Earth dragon?"

Natsuki Subaru frowned in confusion.

"what is that?"

Reinhard's ominous premonition grew stronger.

He bent down, picked up a thin twig from the wall, and quickly drew the outline of an earth dragon on the ground.

Strong hind legs, a long neck, a body suited for high-speed running, and a thick tail for maintaining balance.

With the blessing of the "photographic technique," even from just twigs and sand, Reinhard could create works of art no less impressive than those of Ma Liang's magic paintbrush.

Natsuki Subaru recognized him at a glance.

"Oh, so this is the earth dragon of your place."

He clapped his hands in sudden realization.

"When I first saw them pulling a cart, I thought they were giant lizards native to Lugnicate."

Reinhardt's hand, which was holding the branch, froze in mid-air.

What does this man actually call an earthworm? A lizard?

Don't underestimate the power of earth dragons!

This creature was born after the Kingdom of Lugunica signed a contract with the dragon Polkenica, and the entire kingdom received the dragon's blessing.

It is a genuine branch of the dragon race!

How can you call it a lizard!

Reinhard's smile was on the verge of crumbling, but thankfully he reacted quickly and, with the composure of a perfect knight, regained his composure.

The thoughtful explanation was:

“Subaru, the earth dragon possesses the grace of the dragon, a precious creature that only Lugnica possesses.”

"They possess speed, endurance, and intelligence far exceeding those of ordinary animals, and they are indeed a type of dragon."

"You call them lizards, which is somewhat..."

Reinhard carefully considered his words.

"I see."

"It was our rudeness."

Natsuki Subaru carefully examined the pattern on the ground.

He carefully recalled the earth dragon he had seen in the capital, and finally shook his head.

"This lizard is indeed quite fierce, and it would be very suitable for pulling a cart."

"But it is ultimately unworthy of my status. It is unworthy to be my mount!"

Mount?

These two words made Reinhard's eyelids twitch slightly.

His premonition had gradually shifted from an ominous feeling to one of impending doom.

Reinhardt asked tentatively:

"So the dragon that Subaru was talking about capturing is actually..."

"A real dragon!"

Natsuki Subaru spread his arms, which only he could understand, and gestured as if making a pair of huge wings in mid-air.

"As strong as a mountain, covered in armor, with shimmering scales and wings, it can soar straight into the sky with a flap of its wings and shatter the earth with a swoop! With a single burst of flame, thousands of troops will be reduced to dust!"

"That's right, what I want to capture is a giant dragon that can fly into the sky!"

"Only this is worthy of my status as the General of Chariots and Cavalry!"

Hearing such a tense description, and Natsuki Subaru's tense tone.

Reinhardt's lips twitched violently.

This time, it took him even longer to regain his composure.

You have to understand, this is the era we live in.

Dragons have long since disappeared from human sight.

Even in the dragon-loving kingdom of Lugnica, ordinary people may search their whole lives and still not be able to see a real dragon.

For example, his father...

Reinhard had no idea where Subaru Natsuki had found such a target, nor could he understand why he was already considering methods to capture him.

However, there is one thing that must be made clear beforehand.

"Subaru, Lugunica has survived to this day thanks to the protection of the dragon. The entire kingdom holds dragons in the highest esteem."

"Capturing a real dragon without cause will have extremely serious consequences."

To use a term familiar to Subaru Natsuki, the Lugunica people value dragons even more than a certain mysterious Eastern country protects giant pandas.

Catching one as a mount is absolutely out of the question.

"And buddy, where are you going to find a flying dragon?"

Ferut crossed her arms and burst out laughing without any restraint.

"You can't even recognize the earth dragons here, yet you're already eyeing real dragons?"

"You want Reinhard to capture her alive for you? Do you know what you're saying?"

Felt spoke and laughed, while repeatedly poking Reinhardt's waist with her hand, which was just the right height for her.

The smile that Reinhard had managed to maintain on his face was almost shattered by the force of the blow...

Natsuki Subaru ignored Felt's mockery.

Instead, he nodded thoughtfully, following Reinhard's words.

"So that's how it is. This country values ​​dragons so much?"

Reinhardt breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that Subaru has finally realized the seriousness of the matter and is ready to abandon this absurd idea.

Unexpectedly, Natsuki Subaru suddenly burst into laughter:

"Good! Very good!"

"It seems the Dragon Knight's status is even more prestigious than I thought!"

"At that time, I will surely leave the other candidate lords with the impression of an unparalleled hero!!"

A sense of foreboding rose in Reinhard's heart once again.

Natsuki Subaru suppressed his smile and said:

"So, Reinhard, you probably won't help us."

Natsuki Subaru sighed regretfully.

"Fine, relying on others is not as good as relying on myself. It seems I'll just have to die a few more times and figure out a way to catch that dragon named Capella Emeralda Lugnica myself!"

Reinhardt's shoulders, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up.

Die a few more times?

Capella Amelada Lugnica?

Either of those two sentences would have been enough to make him immediately press for answers.

But compared to the others, the second one is indeed more important.

Lugnica, a surname that sounds the same as the country's name, is proof of royalty!

Reinhardt completely lost his composure.

"Subaru, what did you say that dragon was called?"

“Capella Emerada Lugnica”.

Subaru Natsuki repeated it again.

Reinhard's smile vanished, and he asked seriously:

"Lucnica is the royal family's surname."

Why would a dragon use a royal name from the Lugnica royal family?

"How would I know?"

Subaru Natsuki spread out his right hand.

"Oh, right, she can transform. She's not always a dragon; she also has a human form, a blonde little girl. She's quite rude, but you know..." Subaru Natsuki subconsciously glanced at Felt beside him.

"She looks quite a bit like Ferute."

"Huh?" Ferut frowned. "Hey buddy, who are you calling a dragon?"

An unhappy Felt launched a flying kick at Subaru Natsuki.

With the blessing of the stars and moon, Subaru Natsuki's figure flickered slightly, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Felt.

Ferut nearly stumbled and fell to the ground after kicking at empty air.

The speed was so fast that Reinhard's pupils contracted slightly.

So fast!

He barely saw how Natsuki Subaru exerted his strength before Natsuki Subaru had already secured his position!

But now is not the time to worry about that; the information Subaru just shared is far too important.

If such a woman does exist, she is very likely a member of Lugnica's royal family.

He asked with a solemn expression:
