Chapter 386 - Dragon Bandits?
-----
Noah's carriage hit the road at a fast speed, these horse-like draconic beast were a staple in dragon societies, they were strong and formidable, and also used to being with dragon people, they grow more attached to them and can even protect caravans from bandits or other wild beasts.
Indeed, this world even had bandits, dragon bandits, in fact, rejects from society most of the time, which even include half-beasts, or just dragons with low quality bloodlines, or even former nobles from houses that were destroyed through complicated aristocratic schemes… anything goes!
The caravan had just come out and Noah saw nobody around, so he continued as if nothing through the road, for once, he wanted to forget about his past and have a joyful day as a merchant. Perhaps he was simply trying to please his children. Because this didn't fit his personality that much. But since the beginning that he had been killing and surviving so much that it was hard for him to adapt to things that were not them. So he had begun to dig into his previous self before being a vampire, and indeed, exploring the world, finding secrets, and even befriending complete strangers was within the things he would had done.
As strong as he was now, there wasn't much he had to fear aside from actual dragon gods coming to kill him or something, but as long as he kept his power suppressed, he should be able to explore his other side that didn't included slaughtering, eating monsters, and all of that.
There was a side of him that seemed like a big explorer, and he really wanted to make it resurface once more. His family had begun to make his life very colorful as of now, so he wanted to be someone that could enjoy the little things in life.
He already knew about how this world worked a bit and knew that if these invaders were to follow him, they would have to first open the skies and fight the Supreme Dragon Gods protecting and holding this world together beforehand, enough time for him to find a way out or something.
Noah was definitely not a foolish man; he had already taken into consideration many things beforehand! Due to this, he was enjoying himself as he traveled the road, he knew what to do if things became terrible too, so he allowed himself to relax.
"Wow, such a good sight… You don't see this in the divine realm." Said Adamantine, her wording had become way more articulate as of now. Eventually, after evolving so much she would become more mentally mature to the point of being able to word her things better! Right?
"Indeed, the bright sun above, the clear skies, the gentle breeze, the beautiful scenery… This place… This world is very beautiful." Said Jon.
"Papa, look, big bug!" Adan pointed Jon as he saw a cat-sized dragonfly fly atop the caravan and into the depths of the forest.
"I saw it, it is going deep and… Ah, got eaten by a frog-like draconic beast." Said Jon.
"Ohh! Can I eat it?" asked Adan.
"No, we can eat inside the city." Said Jon.
"Do they got restaurants? Like for real?!" asked Adamantine.
"There should be, I have investigated the interior a bit." said Noah.
"Enjoying a restaurant in another world! This is a dream of the Isekai lovers." Said Arthur.
"You've really been into those old books you found in the libraries of Earth…" sighed Timassa.
In the months previous, Arthur had been quite bored, so he began wandering Earth within Noah's divine realm, and found several ruins around the flourishing world, one of them included a big bookstore in the place that was once Japan, in there, he found an incredible amount of well-preserved manga and light novels of all sorts of genres, which he found interesting.
He quickly learned Japanese through magic and began to read them to pass the time. In no time, he became a fanatic of the genre, and became rather frustrated by how these talented authors had long died when the miasma hit the world several year ago…
Although he had begun to spread the books in the Sector that was once Japan, and many of these Japanese vampires recognized these books from old, at least the survivors from the apocalypse. And thanks to Noah giving it a kick start, a rose of web novels and light novels began to emerge in the Sectors across Noah's Divine Realm area, the society was advancing and even had internet and other stuff, so they were now abusing a capitalistic way of living as new products of entertainment were made for the people.
All these kinds of products fascinated Arthur, as he saw new books and manga resurge from their ashes thanks to his ideas and him bringing back such lost culture in the rebuilt sector within Japan!
And now, he felt like he was living the dream in another world by going into a big town, like true Isekai experience!
Noah couldn't help but find these books a bit boring, but after he found the mystery, detectives, and gore genres, he began to like them more, especially the more graphic Mangas…
As they advanced through the road and the sunbathed everyone's faces. Clementina suddenly pointed something moving through the bushes and the trees of the forest, her draconic parts looked as if they were made of ice, making her look rather prettier than before.
"What is it?" asked Noah, looking at it deeply as suddenly, a group of around twenty dragons, some humanoids and some not, emerged before them.
"Stop right there!"
"Did you really thought you could get through this road and not pay the tax?"
"We'll be taking these nice items you got, and a few of those cute girls as a compensation!"
They were generic bandits!
"Oh my god! Bandits!" said Arthur, he seemed hyped.
"Go on." Sighed Noah, as Arthur jumped over them with Alicia at his side.
"Hm? What is a little girl gonna do to me- GRYYAAAGGH…!"
Alicia touched a large green snake-like dragon and electrocuted him to death! Even more, corrosive poison began gushing out of his orifices grotesquely… This was her deadly poisonous lightning!
