Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 423: Welcomed By The Sect Master

Chapter 423: Welcomed By The Sect Master

-----

I had been wondering where that Lunar Dragon went to, after he helped Miranda, he flew away from our group and I haven't seen him anywhere we went, so I had grown concerned that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d would go tell everyone I was a dragon, it would be a pain to explain them this, so I hope he could keep it a secret. Well, not like I had told him or anything, I had pretended that I wasn't, but he continued pursuing it. Apparently, this guy by just looking at me recognized me as a dragon, what a pain.

However, as we crossed through the sect's city, which was barley hanging on by itself with many of the people looking at us with eyes and mouths wide open, I realized they were most likely looking at us like this because I was riding my new pet snake, Kuro, with Benladann and Kuro at my side.

Some of our fighters went back to Fuyu to rest for the most part, so it was us and some others that decided to come for the meeting, the others might have their own opportunity to show up in here in its due time. For now, the important thing was meeting the Elders all gathered together and then the sect master so we can begin negotiations including making them our loyal allies after we saved their a.s.ses.

As we entered the large building where the sect master and the elders were waiting for us…

"Welcome."

Suddenly, we were welcomed by the sect master.

The sect master was a peculiar ice giant woman. She was pet.i.te, more pet.i.te than any ice giant I've ever seen before, nonetheless, she was still one due to the body structure being more "bigger" and less "compact" than the ice elf, but some could think her to be just a very tall ice elf woman, and I wouldn't blame them.

She was only about two meters and a half, if not a bit smaller, while most of the other ice giants were above three meters. However, I saw a few others like her who were smaller than normal. She also had long, white hair and sharp and glowing pink eyes. She had a more healthy and less rough skin, like porcelain, and she looked like a beautiful and very delicate lady. Of course, compared to my Benladann she's not much, and if we talk about cute, Miranda is also a pet.i.te and cute girl.

What surprised me is that this sect had some mixed culture with Chinese or j.a.panese one based in the buildings structure and designs, alongside the food and the clothes everyone wore… in the Ice Moon Sect mostly everyone just wore European-like clothes, at most there were some that used tunics, but nothing like the Yukatas and Kimonos here.

The sect master herself wore long white stockings wrapping around her plump legs, and even j.a.panese sandals too, making her look like a shrine maiden of sorts. I am going to buy a lot of clothes from here to make Benladann wear them, I can't wait for her to look like a beautiful j.a.panese Princess…!

A-Anyways, we decided to quickly greet the woman as it would be unpolite to just stare at her.

The Lunar Dragon was here too, I had been wondering where he was and he was resting at her side, as if he protected her even now, he was coiled around her while she sat on her throne. He seemed relaxed while healing his wounds, however, despite the defensive posture, perhaps it was just the pose he liked the most while resting. Apparently and by just checking their stats I can tell they were master and servant, or something… did this dragon let himself be tamed? Huh…

"Ah, h.e.l.lo. Nice to meet you. Now that everything is finally over, I am relieved that we can sit down and talk politely." I said, as I sat down over the floor, which was also made of soft wood, like j.a.panese temples.

"Indeed, I am also pretty relieved, phew!" said Benladann, pretending to be friendly.

"Oof, yeah, it was pretty… Erm, hard out there." Said Miranda. She was still terrible at socializing.

"You three are a peculiar trio… I am the Sect Master of the Winter Lotus Sect, Mikohime Tsukuyomi Winter Lotus. But most call me Lady Winter Lotus… You can call me like this, or simply put Miko." She said with a gentle smile.

Wait… that's a very j.a.panese name! How?! Isn't this world kind of Norse-mythology based? So how come you're f.u.c.king called Mikohime Tsukuyomi?!

No, no, no, I have to calm down. Let's see… perhaps some kind of Unique Skill User was once here and founded this sect, perhaps… that name is very peculiar indeed.

"I am Drake, the Sect Master of the Winter Dragon Sect. This is Benladann, my wife and Elder, and Miranda, also an Elder," I said.

"Nice to meet you." Said Benladann.

"Indeed, nice to meet you." Said Miranda.

"I see, Drake, Benladann, and Miranda. I will keep your names inside of my heart forever ever since today, you're the saviors of my people and also of my entire sect, I've grown indebted to you more than anything. Your feat has greatly benefited our sect and saved many lives… I want to, first of all, thank you with the deep of my heart." She said, suddenly standing up and kneeling before us in the same position a j.a.panese would do it…

"W-Wait! Mikohime-sama!"

"Sect Master, don't do that!"

"T-That's a bit of a stretch, Mikohime-sama!"

"A-A Sect Master cannot possibly kneel down to anyone…!"

"Silence! This is the very least I can do to thank him for what he and his people had done." She said.

The grumpy Elders fell in silence as they saw their sect master ridicule herself in such a way. I quickly decided to stop her because kneeling is worthless to me, I don't get anything out of it I can use to grow stronger.

"Just stand up, I don't want you to kneel, it is unsightly for someone of your position, Mikohime. A thanks is more than enough." I said.
