While the Celtic Empire was preparing for the next war, Rozen also implemented some countermeasures.
To be specific, it was to increase their combat power.
Of course, the number of servants could not be increased anymore, unless Rozen could truly master the miracle of Spirit Summoning, or Chaldea's Spirit Summoning System was perfected. Otherwise, it was impossible to increase the number of servants.
Now, on this continent, all the servants had gathered in the Celtic Empire, Greece, and Hindustan Empire, forming a real mythical war. Unless the Celtic Empire used the Holy Grail to summon new servants, causing the neutral servants to appear again, it was just an extravagant hope.
For that reason, Rozen has been trying to use Spirit Summoning during this period, but he still hasn't succeeded.
That made Rozen realize that this kind of last-minute approach was not likely to be effective.
In that case …
"If I can't increase the number of soldiers, then I will increase the number of soldiers."
How to increase?
It was simple.
"Use Wyvern Summon to summon an uncontracted wyvern."
Just like summoning all kinds of beasts in the basin before, this time, Rozen wanted to summon uncontracted wild dragons.
The purpose was to hunt them and take their dragon teeth.
"With dragon teeth, Demetrius can make them into Dragon Teeth Soldiers to supplement the army's combat power."
If it was a contracted dragon, then they would turn into a pure record engraved into Rozen's soul. When they were summoned, they would be a collection of magical power, not a physical body. Even if they were killed, they would dissipate into magical power, and they wouldn't really die, leaving no corpse, let alone getting dragon teeth.
Therefore, if he wanted to get dragon teeth, he had to summon uncontracted dragons to achieve his goal.
Although the dragons were actually more powerful than the Dragon Teeth Soldiers, and with Rozen's current ability, he could summon hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant, but that would consume a lot of magical power.
Rozen's magical power still needed to be reserved for the servants, and he also needed to strengthen and support them. In addition, in the next battle, he couldn't waste it on dealing with the minions.
So, after leaving the basin, Rozen asked Ison to stop the Argo in a remote place.
There, innumerable wyverns roared and flew out one after another, only to be bombarded by shields, magical spears, blazing flames, Undying Blades, whirlwind arrows, storm-like axes and swords, as well as magical bullets that blanketed the skies and earth. Then, amidst the sounds of flesh tearing and explosions, the wyverns either spilled blood all over their bodies and plummeted to the ground, their bodies charred and smoking. In the end, not only were their fangs plucked out, even their scales, claws, hearts and blood were not spared and were all harvested.
If it were in modern times, these things would become very precious magic materials for various research, development, and magic applications.
After all, there were no Fantasy Breeds in modern times, and there were only some magical beasts that were far away from the mortal world and lived in seclusion in the unreachable demonic realm. The materials of dragons could be said to be the most precious magic items, and it was rare to see them at the Clock Tower's auction. Once they appeared, they would definitely be fought over by the major families, and it wouldn't be strange to spend a lot of money on them.
Therefore, if Rozen really stayed in the Clock Tower, he would definitely do well, right?
However, knowing that Rozen had the ability to summon Fantasy Breeds, the magicians in the Clock Tower would definitely not just sit back and watch. At that time, there would definitely be all kinds of conspiracies and schemes against Rozen, and some people might even keep Rozen as a specimen.
The hunt lasted for an entire day, and it took another night for everyone to restore their magical power and energy to the peak. After that, the hunt was declared to be over, and the Argo flew into the sky again, heading in the direction of the Kitano Nation.
Not long after, the Argo entered the border of the Kitano Nation.
"Is the Kitano Nation in front?"
Rozen came out of the cabin and came to the deck.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he came out, Rozen was immediately stunned.
Because …
"Rama?"
On the bow of the deck, Rama actually came out before Rozen and looked at the land ahead.
"Master?"
Sensing the movement behind him, Rama turned his head and looked at Rozen.
At this moment, Rozen had already recovered from his daze.
"It seems like you can't wait any longer."
So Rozen said casually and came to Rama's side, looking at the land ahead with him.
Seeing this, Rama could not help but smile.
"Of course I can't wait." Rama looked ahead again and said, "At the thought of Siddhartha waiting for me there, I wish I could pray for Brahma's protection to increase the speed of this ship by a hundred times."
Only in this way could Rama's longing and anxiety be alleviated.
No, perhaps even this couldn't alleviate the pain. That might not be the case.
Rama's feelings for Siddhartha were deep to this extent.
"So, I am very grateful to Master." Rama said to Rozen, "If it wasn't for Master, I would have died. Even if I didn't die, it would be extremely difficult to save Siddhartha alone. It was Master who gave me a chance to save Siddhartha."
Hearing this, Rozen did not look proud or happy at all.
The reason was simple.
"… Is this really okay?" So Rozen asked in a low voice, "Can you really see Siddhartha like this?"
As soon as this was said, Rama's expression changed.
However, Rama did not make any rebuttal or affirmation. Instead, he fell silent.
Because …
"What about the curse on your body?"
Rozen actually said such a thing.
But this was what Rozen had wanted to say for a long time.
— — — — — "Curse."
There was a curse on Rama's body.
This was not something Rozen noticed, but something that everyone who knew the story of the Ramayana knew.
"As the King of Kusara, although you were born smart, you were stripped of your position as the heir to the throne due to the conspiracy of your kin. You were even exiled by the kingdom. Even though you met Siddhartha and traveled with your beloved wife, her wife was taken away by Demon King Raobona. This made you determined to take Siddhartha back."
Rozen seemed to be talking to himself.
"For this reason, you were awarded a variety of weapons from the sages, and you also spent 14 years with the monkey army led by the famous Hanuman. You fought against the Demon King Luobona and the army led by him. It can be said to be the symbol of persistence, faith, and courage."
However, such a Rama had made a fatal mistake.
"Because you intervened in the battle between your monkey companions, in order to save your own monkey, Sumerita, you plotted against the opposing monkey, Poli."
Rozen told this story.
"Because she could not forgive you for your actions, Poli's wife cursed you. Even if you successfully took back your wife, you would not be able to share this joy."
This curse, even now that Rama had become a heroic spirit, was still binding him. It had even become an inherent skill of his.
.....
Curse of Parting: A
Due to killing an ape named Poli, he was cursed by his wife. Therefore, even if his wife, Siddhartha, who could be called a halfling, appeared, he would never be able to see her again.
.....
Because of this skill, Rama and Siddhartha had never been able to see each other on this continent. Due to various circumstances, they missed each other and in the end, Siddhartha was trapped in the enemy's camp.
This was the curse that Rama carried.
