Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 35 Buying Weapons
"Three dragon gods?" Dorothy swallowed the flesh in her mouth, "I seem to have heard Uncle Lucas talk about it when I was a child. ”
"Uncle Lucas?" Zhao Xi was shocked, he saw that the black-robed man was only about twenty years old, how could he be an uncle?
"Lucas?" said Old John with a frown, "Old Lucas?"
"Old Lucas, of course. Dorothy took another bite of the fruit and said, "I don't have much to say to Brother Lucas." “
"That old thing, when your grandfather is the age. Old John snorted and said, "It's still so shameless for you to call him uncle." ”
Zhao Xi heard a deep resentment from Old John's words, these two people must have had some grievances before, and they don't seem to be small.
"Mr. Donn, why are you asking this?" asked Dorothy curiously.
"I happened to hear some from kobolds, and I was very interested, so I came back and asked you. Zhao Xi said with a dry smile.
Dorothy didn't doubt it, but patiently told Zhao Xi about the past.
"I used to go to Uncle Lucas's house when I wasn't sick in the town, because Uncle Lucas would tell a lot of interesting stories and a lot of weird new things, and everyone liked him. ”
A smile appeared on Dorothy's face as she said this, as if she remembered the happy old days.
"The three dragon gods were told to us by Uncle Lucas at that time, saying that at the beginning the world was still dark and cloudy, and there was nothing, until there were three dragon gods with great divine power, one of the three dragon gods turned into the sky, one turned into the earth, and the last one became the ocean, and the three of them formed the world, so that there was the foundation for the survival of all things, and only then did we have it. ”
"Creator God?" Zhao Xi smacked his lips, feeling as if he had messed with a real thigh.
"Just listen to the story, if there are really those three dragon gods, why don't they have their followers and churches?" Old John snorted and said, "Even the gods of wisdom and justice have not said that they have created the world, how can these three unknown dragon gods be." “
Dorothy laughed too, apparently as a fairy tale, and the two continued to eat.
The chair next to Zhao Xi was pulled away, and when she saw Cornelia walk out of the room, she sat next to her, and nodded at herself, meaning that she had also heard the story just now.
Zhao Xi also nodded, and also understood that it seemed that there was no creation god in this world, and even the two gods of the church that he knew did not have the legend of creation, but the three dragons did, and he had indeed seen a god-like dragon, Zhao Xi felt that the possibility was still very high, but he didn't know what the believers of the three dragons were going to do.
However, according to Zhao Xi's estimation, if Sanlong really created the world, the power must be much stronger than that of ordinary gods, after all, the creation of the world is the top priority of religious propaganda, after all, the world can be created, then it basically represents omniscient and omnipotent, but the title of the god of wisdom is omniscient and omnipotent, I don't know how far this can be done.
And the motivation why the three dragons created the world is not clear, where they came from is unknown, the three dragons who created the world can't come out of thin air, even if there was only one Pangu in the previous world, these three, and the creation of the world is any benefit to the three dragons? If it is a mission, who gave them it?
Zhao Xi's mind was full of questions that could not be answered, and he couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, picked up a fruit, and pretended to ask Dorothy casually:
"Where does the guy who told you the story live?"
"Lucas, who had died of thirst, had a son who was a knight to Viscount Sepha. Old John said.
"Sure enough. Zhao Xi secretly said in his heart, these two Lucas are one person, but what makes Zhao Xi a little strange is why the father and son are called by the same name, Zhao Xi wants to ask for fear that this is a matter of common sense, and what unnecessary trouble will it cause if he asks, so he endured it.
"But I didn't learn the skills of this little Lucas's family heirloom, but I learned all about the old Lucas's bad temper. Old John snorted beside him.
"Brother Lucas is really not very likable, he seems to look down on everyone. Dorothy added on the side.
"It is estimated that he will be able to look down on Viscount Sifa, and no one else will be taken seriously by him. Old John wiped his hands with the sackcloth clothes on his body and said.
Zhao Xi retorted in his heart, he really looked down on Viscount Xifa, and even he was still playing Viscount Xifa as a monkey.
"Speaking of this, I seem to remember that Brother Lucas used to tell me that he would marry me after he wanted to do something big. Dorothy said in a somewhat depressed tone, "I never said I wanted to marry him." ”
"Hmph, sure enough, the Lucas family has this temperament. Old John snorted coldly again and said, "Back then, you told me that Zhu Na was not ......."
Old John didn't finish his sentence and held back, his face a little ugly.
"Anyway, the family likes to talk to themselves and be self-righteous. Old John added, just getting up to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Xi.
"Uncle John, don't go yet, I have something to ask you. Zhao Xi hurriedly spoke.
"Hmph, I knew this fruit wasn't eaten for free. Old John sat down and said, "Say something." “
"Are there any weapons sellers in our town?" asked Zhao Xi.
"Yes, yes, but not much, why do you ask this? Don't you have a great sword?" said old John.
"Can you buy some for me? You know who I am, and you won't sell it to me. Zhao Xi said with a wry smile.
"That's true, but why do you need so many weapons?" asked Old John.
So Zhao Xi told the kobold on the table that the kobold was going to fight the ogre, and everyone understood the cause and effect.
"You're saying you're buying weapons for the kobolds?" asked Old John, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, I promised. Zhao Xi said embarrassedly.
"And what if they take these weapons and fight the town in turn?" asked Old John as such.
"I can vouch for it, and the kobolds' habits, Uncle John, you know, they have their own way of life, unlike the goblins. Zhao Xi hurriedly explained.
"What's the use of your guarantee, a foreigner. Old John laughed disdainfully.
"And Uncle John, you think, if the kobold tribe is defeated, the ogres will definitely come to the town, even if Viscount Xifa is strong, no, casualties cannot be avoided, no, if the kobold has a weapon at hand, he will not attack the town if he agrees, and if he loses, it will weaken the strength of the ogre, which kills two birds with one stone. Zhao Xi continued to persuade.
"As far as you kid will say, I'll do my best to help you, but it's definitely not too much. Old John thought for a moment and said.
"It's okay, just have it, if you can buy armor or something, it's even better. Zhao Xi smiled and complimented.
", buy armor, you may have copied the Viscount's Castle, but you owe me a personal favor, you have to remember. Old John laughed and scolded.
"I owe a lot of money to my uncle, not one or two. Zhao Xi didn't know why people like Old John would emphasize this, but he still agreed, after all, he did owe a lot to Old John. “
"Count on you, kid, and still have a little conscience. Old John seemed relieved and said, "I'll go to the blacksmith shop for you in a moment, of course, it's not cheap, but you have to have the money ready." “
"Of course. Zhao Xi continued to smile and said, someone must be happy to do things for him.
"By the way, Uncle John, the town has been unquiet lately, so try not to go out as much as possible. Zhao Xi said as if he remembered something.
In fact, Zhao Xi didn't know how to vaguely remind Old John that there were many dangerous things in the town, so he could only say a word casually, so that Old John and Dorothy subconsciously had a snack, although there may be no changes in the town in a short time, but I am afraid that if something really happens, Zhao Xi may die of guilt.
And the degree of security with Cornelia at home will definitely be higher, and Cornelia will have time to deal with anything that happens, and it is not possible to run with two people, but it is still possible to protect the safety for a while.
Zhao Xi didn't expect any reaction from Old John, but when he saw that Old John seemed to look at him meaningfully before leaving, Zhao Xi was keenly aware that Old John seemed to know something, and combined with the fact that Old John was in a wrong mood from the night the strange man appeared, Zhao Xi felt that Old John seemed to have discovered something from the strange man, and maybe he had found clues related to Viscount West Fa or the Mysterious Church.
However, speaking of Viscount Xifa, Zhao Xi seems to have subconsciously forgotten this noble lord, because of Lucas's contemptuous tone, but think about it carefully, how can a noble lord be a simple fool, and the church has researched a potion to cure thirst, saying that Bishop Darren does not know what magic erosion is, and he definitely does not believe it.
After all, there is no one who can study the antidote without even knowing the disease, a former clergyman and a noble lord call the magic erosion a strange disease, what is this for, is it to cover up some facts?
And what is the source of thirst? It can't just appear out of thin air, do they know where the source is?
Zhao Xi suddenly felt that none of these forces was simple, and they all had their own secrets. The kobold tribe is okay, because of the favorability, I still know a lot, but the mysterious church behind the ogre, and the unknown Viscount of West Far, Zhao Xi, really don't have a clue at all.
"If you make a mistake, I guess I don't even have any bones left. Zhao Xi thought to himself in his heart.
