@Ironclad well, the raptors in Jurassic park were based on the Deinonychus. So I'd say a bit bigger than a "big dog".

Woo! More of this!

Xavier seems...young and inexperienced, which makes him a mediocre commander at best. But he's considerate of his soldiers and citizens, so I can see a decent leader in him. His achievement should probably be something more...domestic than combative though.

Also, of course Aura would warn the foreign countries about moving her army. I didn't think of that at all, but she did and should have.

I don't get it. Is he asking her to go to his kingdom and stay there for years making some magic tool while his children stay in her kingdom and take charge of things?

I seriously feel like I'm missing something because that sounds like a really stupid suggestion.

I didn't understand it that way.
What I think he meant was that the Prince and Princess actually are the one making the Magic Tool.
She wouldn't leave at all, they would come to her to make it happen... and I don't think she has any good reason to refuse.
Having those two move for a few years into her Kingdom would be incredibly beneficial in terms of technological advancement and in terms of diplomacy.
The only problem would be the true origins of the King Consort... They would probably be able to get in contact with him a fair bit, and even maybe get access to the inner Palace... that could create some problems.


BTW, I love you TOOR, I love this manga so much, thanks for picking it up and thanks for the update!

@aFFi Yeah that sounds like a much more logical explanation. Guess I'm fucking stupid.

I mostly agree with you about the pros and cons of the prince and princess coming to the kingdom, but I would also question if allowing them to make a magic tool out of her special magic is a good idea. It has been a while since I read this series so I lack the details about how that works, but wouldn't that mean that someone could steal that tool and use the ultra rare Space-Time magic of the royal family (or rather, one of its applications)? Seems kind of risky to turn your trump card into a tool that anyone can use.

@Acolytus If they're going to incorporate magic into tools, I guess there would be some sort of authentication check to make sure only the queen and whoever she granted access to could use it. Then again, since it's made by a third party, you gotta trust that they don't install a backdoor or potentially leak any info on that to the bad guys.

They are sending both the Prince and Princess over to make magic tools, they are gonna stay there a few years, but the reason they sent bona over is
to secure her as a concubine for Senjirou, and the Prince just came along for shits and giggles, and because he is also a dual bloodline magician.

They go from the better parts to the worse parts until getting satisfied. The back meat is worse than what they prefer, but should not be the worse of the worse when it comes to their preferences.
There is also the chance that some parts are not worth eating, be it because of energy efficiency or because of healthy reasons. If there are many cases where eating certain parts = death, with some time, many animals would avoid these parts altogether.

@Yautja meat part isn't really the most important part to eat on an animal, fat is a lot more important as energy because this guys can't really eat 3 meals a day, Bears has shown to just eat the eggs of salmons and leave the rest especially nearing hibernation and usually if you watch say lions or wolfs they always eat the belly first that's the easiest part to eat so less energy wasted when eating. Even for ancient humans it's always the guts that get's taken first plus liver is one of the fattiest and something that packs the most nutrients. and if they can they'd go for the bones, like hyenas again because the bone marrow is like 99% fat.

today we don't really have that problem,cause we can have 3 meals a day but when maybe you won't get to eat the next day storing fat is far more important for survival, I mean pigs before was a lot fatter where pork belly was like 60-70% fat now it's just around 30% humans needed more fat but today we have an excess of that stuff so people who produce pigs of course change them to have more meat than fat.

You two are full of shit. Just admit it was a fuck up. Animals eat entrails, muscles, and fat. They don't just eat fat or leave the other stuff behind. Meat isn't important my fucking ass. Most predators gorge themselves on a kill and the fat or certain parts of the body alone are not nearly enough to satisfy them, certainly not animals greater than human sizes. Guess watching MeatEater was good for something after all. If there was actually 50 fucking raptors, in both size and characteristics, there'd be little to nothing left. Especially considering they've been laying there over an extended period of time.

@Yautja they eat all but fat is priority. And entrails are full of fat so again my point still stand i only mentioned liver because that the entrails with the highest fat and nutritional content inside the guts and what is inside the guts entrails and then softer muscles once with inter muscular fat to get f they are still not satisfied tougher meat gets eaten.

And again animals like hyenas can go and break hard bones in to get the bone marrow and if an animal just eat everything do you think scavengers will be able to survive? hyenas will be fine in that regards cause no other animal can take the bone marrow in their area (besides humans) and they are strong enough to steal hunts.

And obviously they will have some left depending on their mouth their mouth is definitely not small enough to eat some parts of the animal and compared to them eating the humans bones that’s probably why most of the human part got eaten, eating the bones of those giant lizards will choke them to death. I guess with this Vultures are able survive because they evolved to eat those said parts that other animals don’t eat thanks to their neck and beak and because the meat is dry aged at that point it’s easier to chew as compared before and why don’t the Giant lizard come back to eat the rest well the same reason why predators don’t comeback to 2 week old meat they don’t have the digestive system to eat those unlike scavengers.

And besides Lizard anatomy is different so maybe they won’t be eating the same parts if they are eating a mammal because lizards store there fats not inside skin and barely in their muscles but in their guts they have this weird pods it’s like a grapes of fat thing kinda disgusting looking things that are pure fat. So they have less fat in their muscles so more tougher cuts compared to the humans they ate

Yea, that spiel is great and all, but it doesn't defend against the bullshit of a dozen or so corpses left behind by a pack of fifty+ horse sized carnivores. The lengths fan boys will go through to defend such a stupid and obvious largely non-consequential mistake is astonishing. The majority of the corpses left over had entrails, and legs on the dragons, arms and legs on the humans. Hell, almost all of them don't even look eaten, but just mauled; speaking of which, their mouths are about the size of a human head, so drop that. Fucking give up with this bullshit defence. Almost all carnivores eat the same parts, and since youtube is a thing, you can look for yourself and see lizards such as Komodo Dragons eating, and whatta ya know, the go for meat dense areas like the left over hind quarters, entrails, etc. And whatta ya know, they can eat the majority of the fucking animal. Good fucking lord. How full of shit.

@Yautja Just komodo dragons ? you do know those guys can swallow anything and digest everything right and that include bones right ? that's their evolutionary advantage the fact that they can eat just about anything

this guys act similar to wolf heck even raptor don't swallow their pray whole maybe the T-rex cause their the only once known to chew on bones, there are scientist who theories that T-rex might have scavengers behaviors similar to hyenas whether they are primary hunters or primary scavengers is up for debate though it's cooler if they are primary hunters. at least give an equivalent animal to your statement. I mean I doubt raptors can do that besides Komodo Dragons snakes can also swallow everything but those guys only eat a couple of times per month but they can't digest bones unlike the Komodo dragon. what I am stating are general behaviors of course this behaviors are different up north where they can actually come back to eat the meat cause the whole place is a refrigerator hot places though expect it to rot in a day.

and if you didn't know our body will always use this energy in order Calories (sugar) > Cholesterol (fats) > Protein the only time our body use protein for energy is when you are starving to death and by just eating the guts pretty sure that's enough protein for an animal, and majority of the Vitamins and Minerals are again inside the guts, so why waste time in the tough meat with barely no fat at all and protein that will only be needed when I am legit dying best to go hunt other animal that's more energy efficient something the dragons did in this series they hunted other animals right after their done eating what they can.

In fact Protein can't be stored unlike sugar and fat you piss off the excess protein unless you use excessive proteins by excising (cause you are breaking off muscle tissues with that) of course if you piss too much protein something is probably wrong with you lol on top of that FAT is needed to produce natural protein so yeah the rest of the essential protein are in the guts anyway.

How bout you go look up other animals like crocs, smartass. How many living bipedal or large lizards do you think there are? Go look at any carnivore and see how and what they eat. What a nitpicky prat who knows so little.

Yea, you've typed a lot again and still not made a single point or refutation of the 50 lizards leaving behind multiple largely uneaten bodies. You're just vomiting out half-baked trivia knowledge and google searches in an attempt to distract. I wonder how you'll try and address or distract from the fact that most of those corpses are barely eaten and more mauled than anything else. They're almost entirely uneaten and unrotten long after their deaths. Keep talking, you're convincing no one and have not refuted anything. Funny how you keep ignoring that.

@Yautja Crocs again can digest bones so they don't care about eating everything there has been research that velociraptors can't digest bones, the closes examples to this guys so far and only T-rex are known to eat bones. there are more animals that can't digest everything compared an animal eating everything. well they can probably eat everything if it's smaller pray like say the human pray with the dragon which again they ate everything but eating domestic dragon the same size as them maybe not unless they want to choke on bones.

and if you think about it because this guys are not real animal only the the people in it knows their eating behaviors what I have been stating is the equivalent eating behavior this dragon has to what animals in our world does they exhibit similar behavior to some predators in earth which makes their eating habits real and believable

and aren't you nitpicky too only pointing out some behaviors of animals but not all ? I guess you are also a smart ass and there are barely any bipedal lizard only semi-bipedal lizards in the world except for 100 million years ago

Were technically both right but your argument is, what this dragon are doing is impossible because other animal eat like this but I say it's possible because some animals actually follow this behavior. at this point I am mostly correct because it is not impossible to have animals with such behavior yes crocs and Komodo dragon don't leave everything behing but not all preditors are similar to crocs or Komodo dragons this Isekai Dragons are one of them.
