Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1516

Chapter 1494 38: Am I really not suitable for starting a business?

“I don’t understand magic either. According to what you said, the dragon-slaying magic has turned you into a dragon. You are still a dragon now, and your essence has not changed.

That fruit gave you human form, the ability to turn back into a human.

At the same time, you can also have the form of a dragon man, which is theoretically the most suitable for fighting, but I don’t think you want to try the dragon man form now.”

“That’s enough. That’s enough.”

Irene used the puddles beside her as a mirror. The water was not clear, but it allowed Irene to see her own outline clearly.

The human appearance and the body without scales, these are what Irene has been pursuing for countless years. She has got what she wanted, even if it is not perfect, it is enough to make her feel satisfied.

“What work do you need me to do? I will do my best to complete it.”

“It shouldn’t be difficult for you. I need a lot of magic books. In other words, I’m interested in everything about magic. It would be best if there is a complete teaching method.”

Yamato took out a piece of clothing from his storage cloud bag and threw it to Irene, then briefly described his request.

“I can use additional magic and dragon-slaying magic. I can write down the details about these as much as possible, but I’m afraid I’ll have to spend time collecting the other things.”

“It’s nothing. I don’t have any time requirements. You can take your time. This fruit allows you to turn into a human, but your physical fitness is still calculated according to that of a dragon. It should be easy to live for a few hundred years.”

In a sense, Irene found herself a long-term job, and this was also a factor in Yamato’s choice of her.

Yamato was not sure whether he should ask someone else to open the door next time or do it himself. If any accidents happened at that time, ordinary humans would probably become undead. An immortal species at least would not have to worry about this problem.

“Then we need to recruit more people, otherwise the progress will be very slow. Besides, magic is a kind of inheritance. Some magic is passed down from generation to generation. It is not easy to get it.”

“It’s okay. I believe in your ability. You can do whatever you want. Even if you cause trouble, I can cover it for you.

I don’t know much about this place, so you can make the arrangements.”

“But I don’t know what’s going on outside now.”

Irene was somewhat touched by Yamato’s trust in her. After Belserion’s death, Irene lost a close friend. Because of her dragonization, she was ostracized and isolated by the kingdom.

During hundreds of years of loneliness, trust is a precious thing for her.

The problem is that Yamato’s request is indeed a bit embarrassing for her. Irene can understand Yamato’s meaning. After all, Irene was once a queen. Purchasing, negotiating, exchanging, and plundering in war are all means for the existence of the kingdom.

The problem is that she has been secluded in the mountains for hundreds of years and she doesn’t even know what the weather is like outside.

This long period of time is enough for the world to undergo tremendous changes, and Irene has no idea what the social model will become.

“It doesn’t matter. We don’t know what’s going on outside, so we can go and take a look together.”

Although he said it was okay, Yamato was doubting himself in his heart.

This was different from the previous times when she was just a traveler. Although she would establish connections with some local people, they were just traveling together.

This was the first time I planned to do something in a planned way, even to set up a department or organization, but something went wrong with the first person I found.

In a sense, Irene can be considered a primitive person who has long lost contact with modern society. It’s okay for her to not understand the current situation. It’s just that Yamato chose this person himself, which made Yamato feel that he might not really be suitable for “starting a business”.

Kaido once told her that no matter what happened outside, it didn’t matter. If she couldn’t convince him, she could fight. If she couldn’t beat him, she could run away. An opponent that even Yamato couldn’t beat must be very interesting and worth Kaido’s trip.

He doesn’t care if Yamato wants to start from scratch, but he will never support her to do something big on her own. Arceus, who dotes on her, also agrees with Kaido’s point of view to a certain extent, and it is a bit too much to ask Yamato to do “entrepreneurship”.

Yamato is not completely unaware of this matter, so she usually just makes big plans and then finds reliable people to do them. The external brain proves her correctness.

I didn’t expect that I would find problems with the people I came to pick today. But it’s no big deal. Yamato has already developed a strong psychological endurance.

This minor flaw was not a big deal and could be fixed by hiring a few more people. Before that, she also planned to deal with the personal situation of the employees.

“By the way, do you want to take some time out to have a baby first?”

Yamato could feel that there was a life in Irene’s belly, and it was not just conceived. Judging from the breath, this life should have been born a long time ago.

“No, it’s not the right time yet. Let’s wait until everything settles down.”

When she turned into a dragon, Irene was already pregnant, but she used magic to suppress the birth of the child. She wanted to become a mother as a human and also wanted to give her child a more stable environment.

In the original timeline, she had the illusion of being human with the help of Zeref’s black magic, but that state was far from being a real human. At that time, she even had the idea of attaching her consciousness to the child and taking over the human body, but she gave up in the end.

The situation is different now, so Irene no longer has such extreme thoughts. She just wants to finish what Yamato needs to do before considering having a child. She has been suppressing herself for so many years anyway, so it doesn’t matter if she waits a little longer.

“It’s up to you. It doesn’t seem to have any effect on you. Magic really is a magical thing.”

Having seen pregnant women fighting in the sea, Yamato did not think this was strange. He simply packed up and took Irene out of the forest. He chose a direction and began looking for human towns.

Flying over the mountains and forests and across the bay, the two soon found an island and then entered a restaurant.

“Eat slowly. No one is competing with you for food. The quality of this restaurant is not as good as I expected. Do you like this flavor?”

“Compared to my previous experience, this is already a delicacy.”

Irene missed human food very much. Living without taste for a long time was a torture for her. Her body as a dragon made her eat a lot. With Yamato wanting to experience local customs and culture, the table was soon piled with various plates.

“I’m sorry to have cost you money. I should have been working for you, but I’m still bothering you.”

“Wait, it costs money?”

“Yes, I have been in the forest and I don’t have any.”

Having said that, Irene suddenly realized something and looked up at Yamato in disbelief.

“Could it be that”

It was Yamato who found the town, and it was also Yamato who suggested having a good meal. Since her new boss was so generous, Irene did not refuse. If Yamato had not made this suggestion, Irene would have done something similar later.

But Irene didn’t expect that Yamato would be penniless.

“Don’t get me wrong, I have money! My family is not short of money! But are things like treasures accepted here?”

Yamato was not sure whether ordinary gold could be used as currency in the magical world. Looking at the mountain of plates, if the treasure could not pay off the debt, Yamato would have to figure out how to increase his income.
