The series is on break next month, so chapter 31 will be in June.

 

[Stephano1293]

Man, this story is so good and so painful. It really shows us how little time matters to the protagonist as there’s always sudden long time skips where he’s just doing a routine of something and everyone around him ages heavily.

It’s always bittersweet seeing everyone around him aging while he remains a constant.

Can’t wait for next chapter.

 

[RolandMayfield]

Thanks for the chapter!

We get true dragon scales... that will give us the next time skips as he tries for 100 years how to actually use them.

 

[Phyto]

I hope this one gets an anime

 

[Chaosrunewiz]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[feha]

I wish this story put in more details as to why exactly those hermits are fine and not the others, and how he verified that it was true. Particularly since he seemed to dislike the dragon hermit a lot for some reason, on first meeting.

 

[Leonkristoffer]

While the break is going on for next month, I would suggest reading this manga here: Houseki No Kuni.
Its amazing, and recently completed too, so you can binge read the entire thing.
Be ready for the feels though...

 

[IrregularPerson]

Thanks for the chapter, I love how the lords are both enjoying their time with him; and getting surprised by him.

The mental fortitude needed to handle that. I don't think I could, I'm an introvert and I'm fine staying mostly alone, but making a meaningful connection with someone and seeing them wither away would destroy me.

Ha! The dragon and its vassals actually work with similar principle.

Dragon
When the land is blanketed by monsters, end the world and start anew.

Vassals
When the country(ies) becomes corrupt (and fail to serve their purpose), take it down and start over.
(Aside from golden state the hermit said, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he would purge the government/ powerbrokers/people and also start fresh if the Dragon would have been disturbed by how the state of the people of the golden state otherwise)

 

[ZenMasters]

I like this more than "Frieren".

 

[hsun]

They didn't show the cooking hermit and money lover hermit. Red and blue.

He went in fully expecting to have to destroy them, and he most likely verified it with the true dragon during breaks in telling his tale. Thankfully this Alduin seems like a kind fellow and prefers to wait until his job is absolutely necessary to bother anybody.

I wish this story put in more details as to why exactly those hermits are fine and not the others, and how he verified that it was true.

These are the first "true hermits" we've seen. True hermits can draw power directly from nature, and the dragon apparently radiates the same kind of energy. However, it requires an enormous amount of time and effort and talent for humans to learn how to harness this power and become true hermits, so some hermits take shortcuts and find ways to obtain power by stealing other people's lifeforce instead, turning into shamans, incubi, succubi, or vampires, as explained in chapter 17.

It was more like he doesn't like how the hermits seemingly long-winding their intentions and stringing him along through maze of uncertainty instead of just asking him honestly and directly, added with his second-hand knowledge of hermits that took grim shortcuts to tap into immortality, made him a bit wary of them. Eh, meeting with Xuannu made it much less than it used to be though.

Probably his action also meant as a bit of jab against old Chinese-style story telling, which involves a heck lot of back and forth with word twists and what not.

I expected more confrontation and/or a bit of violence, though. Instead, very much like him, his journey here was filled with bittersweet and heartwarming encounters, with a dash of comedy.

 

[Madologist]

Shame Xuannu is tied to her power spot, would've been lovely if she had become a travelling companion. Atleast Aesir finally made some truly long lived friends.

I hope this one gets an anime

With low budget and tons of supbar 3DCGI, of course.

Cuuuuute

 

[Diamona]

Wow, the world has a functioning Raze and Reset function. Plenty of other worlds seem to have the weird idea of importing their troubleshooters, despite often having literal gods there.
