This is Volume 26 of the Qingwen edition of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (known in Taiwan as The Mystery of the Divine Dragon), with the story now at the climax of the entire series. Dai, a boy determined to become a hero, undergoes special training under Avan, the hero who once defeated the Demon King; but Avan dies in battle against the revived Demon King's army, and Dai can only carry on his master's will, setting out with his companion Popp and others to defeat the Demon King's army. Along the way they defeat one corps commander after another and gradually come to see that the true enemy is not the initial Demon King Hadlar but the Great Demon King Vearn lurking behind him. In this volume, Dai and his companions finally launch an all-out assault on the Great Demon King's castle. To rescue captured companions and open the road to the Great Demon Palace, they resolve to use the "Great Purifying Spell," which requires five people to invoke in perfect unison. Yet this spell demands the highest unity of will: if even one person wavers, it cannot be completed—can they succeed? The highlights of this volume center on the test of teamwork and conviction, embodying the series' enduring themes of bonds, resolve and growth.Editor's review
《神龍之謎》被不少讀者視為「最像樣的王道少年漫畫」：它借用了《勇者鬥惡龍》的世界觀與咒文體系，情節卻完全由三條陸原創，戰力層級清楚、戰術描寫講究，配角各有血肉，反派也有自己的尊嚴與立場。稻田浩司的畫風受鳥山明影響，人物圓潤親切，但激戰分鏡的張力與必殺技的動感十分出色。 第26冊正處於全書的決戰段落，前期鋪陳的師徒傳承、同伴羈絆、勇者與大魔王的身世糾葛在此逐步收束。「大破邪咒文」這類需要五人意志一致的設定，把戰鬥從單純的招式對撞，轉向團隊信任與心志的考驗，是這部老派王道作品最見功力之處。對想重溫90年代JUMP氣質的讀者，這一冊是整段高潮的關鍵拼圖。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 讀過《勇者鬥惡龍》系列、對其世界觀與咒文設定有感情的讀者
- 喜歡師徒傳承、同伴羈絆與王道熱血戰鬥的少年漫畫愛好者
- 正在補完《神龍之謎》全37卷、需要按冊收藏的漫畫讀者
- 研究90年代《週刊少年JUMP》王道漫畫脈絡的漫畫愛好者
Not a good fit for
- 完全沒有讀過前25冊、直接從本冊入門的讀者（情節高度依賴前情）
- 偏好寫實、成人向或實驗性漫畫的讀者
- 只想看輕鬆日常、不接受戰鬥中角色死亡的讀者
Reading tips
- 建議按卷序閱讀，至少先讀完前幾冊的魔王軍篇，否則本冊的決戰與人物關係會看不懂。
- 閱讀時可留意「咒文」與「必殺技」的命名體系，它與《勇者鬥惡龍》遊戲設定互相呼應。
- 留意副主角波普的心理描寫，他被許多讀者視為全書成長弧線最完整的角色。
- 若搭配2020年版動畫《勇者鬥惡龍 達伊的大冒險》同段劇情對照閱讀，更能體會原作分鏡的節奏。

FAQ
這一冊是整套書還是系列中的第26冊？
這是《神龍之謎》（勇者鬥惡龍 達伊的大冒險）單行本系列中的第26冊，並非全37卷的整套書。劇情承接前冊的大魔王城堡總攻擊段落，單獨閱讀會有明顯的情節斷層。「神龍之謎」和「達伊的大冒險」是同一部作品嗎？
是同一部作品。日文原名為《DRAGON QUEST -ダイの大冒險-》，台灣大然文化時期的譯名為《神龍之謎》，青文出版社後期採用《勇者鬥惡龍 達伊的大冒險》。《神龍之謎》第26冊與青文《達伊的大冒險》第26冊內容對應。本冊的譯者是誰？
青文版第26冊譯者為宋狄龍，2008年出版，平裝，ISBN 為 9789862094648。不同版本（如大然版）譯者與出版年不同，購買時需注意版本。這部漫畫一共有多少卷？
原作於《週刊少年JUMP》1989年至1996年連載，單行本全37卷，另有全22卷文庫版。系列單行本累計發行量在2019年底已突破4700萬部。This site is an index: you start “Search all sources” in your browser, and the entries it lists all point to third-party sites; please judge their availability yourself.
About the author
Riku Sanjo AuthorRiku Sanjo is an author mainly associated with manga and children's books. Publicly available information about his nationality, dates of birth and death, and other personal background is very limited, so further biographical details cannot be confirmed. According to the library's holdings, he has 37 works, almost all belonging to the series The Legend of Dragon Quest (Shenlong zhi Mi), including volumes 17, 19, 22, 31, 33, 36, and 37. This suggests a long-running, multi-volume series. The books are categorized under children's books, comics and cartoons, quality fiction, premium web fiction, fantasy fiction, and art, indicating that the series combines manga-style storytelling with fantasy adventure, appeals to young readers, and has some draw in genre reading and illustrated narrative. Because interviews and publishing histories are lacking, judgments about his writing style and influence can only be made cautiously from these categories and should not be overextended.
Inada Koji AuthorInada Koji is a manga author about whom limited information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, and other personal details have not been confirmed in publicly accessible sources. Judging from the 37 works held in the collection, his output centers mainly on the Dragon Quest series, including volumes 20, 22, 26, 29, 30, 33, 34, and 37, which suggests a long-running series with many installments. These works are often classified under children's books, comics and cartoons, children's literature, and fantasy fiction, indicating a young-adult readership and content with adventure and fantasy elements. Because biographical information is scarce, his creative profile can currently be understood only through the works themselves, and a fuller account of his life and career remains difficult to outline.
