Noticing the subtle expression on Jimmy's face after listening to his question, Roger perked up, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Hey, it's really not a good thing, this head was chased by the Pope and did a good job, it seems that this young hunter should know something about his inexplicable mission.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin, save for the crackling of the campfire.

Jimmy's hand with the crossbow trembled, and he didn't speak for a while, but he didn't continue to use that pretending mature voice, "You....... You'd better come in first. ”

"Thank you again for your generosity and kindness. ”

As he wished, Roger performed a gentleman's courtesy, and did not forget to turn around and wink at Linda at the door.

"Wow~"

Using the boiling water on the stove to flush away a few freshly picked wild mints, Jimmy pushed the two glasses of water in front of the two of them, and sat down on the other side of the table, and a not-so-good, but exceptionally fresh smell permeated the room.

Holding his chin, Roger said, "So where do we start talking?"

"I'll allow you to stay here for a while, but can you not be so self-acquainted?" Jimmy took a deep breath, the young hunter was in the midst of regretting his impulsiveness, "First of all, shouldn't you have reported your home?"

"I'm sorry, but please allow me to introduce you, my name is Roger, and this beautiful lady next to me is Linda, and we are experts in solving the miscellaneous things that threaten the survival of the good people, well, we are professionals. ”

Looking at the two people with different expressions in disbelief, Jimmy didn't seem to fully believe Roger's words, not to mention that the credibility of what the two broke into his house first, naturally greatly reduced.

However, perhaps it was the long-standing misunderstanding of him by the villagers, and the fact that Uncle Hammer's words had irritated Jimmy, which made him anxious to find someone to talk to, so he didn't mind sharing his story.

"Hmm~ My name is Jimmy, a hunter in this Wolf's Tooth Mountains, this story of mine may be a little hard to imagine, it's about a creature called a dragon. ”

Just this first sentence made Roger and Linda look at each other.

Without looking at Roger, Jimmy stared at the mint leaves floating in the boiling water and continued: "The dragon is a man-eating creature, and since ancient times, countless humans have been treated as a meal on its plate, hovering in the sky and hunting with a roar.

Its sound can make men fearful, women miscarry, children go crazy, animals die, trees wither, rivers dry up, and just when everything faints and withers, it will swoop down from the sky and leisurely pick up its prey. ”

At this point, Jimmy's vision caught a glimpse of the smile on Roger's face all the time, and he mistakenly thought that Roger and Linda didn't believe what he was saying, so he looked a little deflated and pushed away his chair to get up.

"I knew you wouldn't believe this, and I was crazy to tell you this......."

Noticing Jimmy's slightly trembling tone when he spoke just now, Roger said earnestly, "I believe what you say. ”

"You don't have to pretend to believe it just to stay here, I know that creature like this sounds like a fantasy, I'm used to it, you could have stayed here for the night, but you have to leave tomorrow. ”

Jimmy smiled self-deprecatingly, but saw that Roger was very serious and repeated again: "We believe what you say, or that kind of creature is in our hometown....... Linda. ”

"Ahhh

"I remember that the banner of your Holy Light Sect Expeditionary Force is a holy dragon, right? is the legendary one that was persuaded by the Holy Light God to surrender in the battle to defeat the Dragon of the End, Tasia, can you depict it?"

Hearing Roger's question in a half-dream, Linda was a little stunned, but then she nodded, it was not a problem for Linda, who had grown up in Kaya, but it was a little awkward to retell the legend of the church from the mouth of a blasphemer.

Pushing away the clutter on the table, Linda cheered up and asked Amy, "Can I draw that flag, do you have a pen and paper here?"

"Paper? Do you want to draw something? Please use this. ”

Hearing Linda's request, Jimmy got up and rummaged around his workbench for a while before handing over a small slate and a small piece of swarthy charcoal.

Holding these primitive brushes, Linda didn't know how to put pen to paper for a while.

"Haven't you ever heard of paper? It's kind of interesting....... Forget it, Linda, you might as well use me, let me think, what is the model of the magic lens?"

Rubbing his stubble chin, Roger pondered for a moment before recalling the first-order magic that was not often used.

Jimmy's eyes widened as he saw Roger roll up his sleeves and his arms run across the tabletop, his familiar table of which was moving like water.

"Don't be surprised, this is the little trick I talked about before, well, people who travel from south to north to make a living always have some skills. ”

Roger nodded thoughtfully, and said to Linda, "You can just draw it with your finger on the magic lens." ”

"True Love Show, what's the difference between this and my charcoal slate painting......"

muttered so in her heart, but Linda still traced it according to the flag of the expeditionary force in her memory, which was not difficult for her, after all, for a 'rice circle' girl who often wanted to sneak into the expeditionary corps to see handsome guys, knowing these is a basic skill.

Of course, knowing is knowing, and whether you can draw it or not is another matter.

"Whew~ It's done, how's it going?" straightened up and admired her freshly baked masterpiece, Linda said triumphantly to Roger.

Staring at the lump on the magic lens, Roger coughed lightly, and didn't want to make any comments, the domineering wings of the holy dragon were painted crooked by you, not to mention, how can you paint your lower limbs as chicken paws? If this banner is really hung, the commander of your church expeditionary force must not be angry on the spot?

Huh? Isn't that a bad idea?

"Look at what kind of evil dragon you are talking about, does it look like this, you can squint and realize it, you don't have to follow this long...... Same. ”

In any case, the holy dragon painting is still a little bit similar, Roger reversed the magic lens, and presented the original upside-down portrait in front of Jimmy's eyes, and before he finished the ridicule, he saw Jimmy's pupils dilated, and his face was frightened.

"That's it, that's it!"

In an instant, as if crazy, Jimmy burst up and grabbed the small crossbow in his hand, Roger quickly blocked Linda behind him, but Jimmy did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the twisted 'holy dragon' on the magic lens.

Staring at the still trembling tail feathers of the crossbow arrows shot into the wooden table, and Jimmy, who gradually turned from wheezing to whimpering, Roger motioned to sit there in shock, and he bypassed the table and stood beside Jimmy.

"The people in the village didn't believe me, they all said that the dragon didn't exist at all, but I saw my father dragged away by the dragon......

"I'm sorry for reminiscing you about that. ”

Roger placed his hand on Jimmy's shoulder, as if trying to comfort the young hunter, but as soon as he put his hand on it, his face turned strange and he took it away without a trace.

Pretending to take a detour behind Jimmy, Roger asked gently, "If you don't mind, can you talk about it carefully?"

Jimmy's little head dangling from his chest bobbed up and down, his story was not complicated, but it might have to start with Jimmy's father.

His father used to be a hunter in Uto, a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Jimmy family. In the early years, there was a peculiar tradition in the village that underage people were required to bring a day's ration and challenge themselves to climb the Wolf's Tooth Mountains, and only by climbing to the top of the Wolf's Tooth Mountains could they complete the coming-of-age ceremony and become adults recognized by the village.

Needless to say, all kinds of twists and turns, in short, Jimmy's father relied on the good physique trained by hunting all year round, and was the first to reach the top in that coming-of-age ceremony, and it was this summit that became a nightmare that Jimmy's family couldn't break free.

"Before my father reached the top, he heard the old people in the village say, don't look at the wolf's tooth mountain range looks very high, in fact, there is nothing bare on the top of the mountain, not only that, standing on it is still cold, so that my father does not have to wait for his companions, he stands on the top and roars a few times to complete the coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"And I think your father must have had something different?" Roger asked tentatively.

Jimmy nodded, and continued, "But according to my father's description, at the top of the hill he went into a cave full of treasures, where there were so many piles of silver that they were stacked on the top of the cave, and there was a room full of crystals, and there he found many stone tablets carved with strange words. ”

Judging from these alone, it does sound a bit like a dragon's lair, but why does this dragon pile up so many stone tablets in his house? Could it be that there is a green dragon living there?

"Those scrolls weren't the words we used, but even if they were, my father probably didn't recognize them, because the school was a place for the wealthy. ”

"For some reason, my father rubbed one of the steles in sheepskin, and just as he was about to rub the next one side, there was a terrible roar from the depths of the cavern, which, according to my father, had never heard such a sharp and terrible roar full of anger. ”

It was for this reason that my father realized that he might have rubbed something terrible, and he covered his ears with strips of cloth, and he took the sheep back with courage. ”

"It's just a pity that when I returned to the village, even the most knowledgeable village chief didn't recognize the words, and my father's desire to exchange him for a fortune was naturally frustrated. ”

"Later, my father read from that that the existence of the dragon was after I was born. ”

"Can you show me the sheepskin?"

As if anticipating Roger's request, Jimmy pulled out a yellowed roll of animal skin from the placket of his coat and handed it to Roger.

"This is the text that my father wrote on the top of the Wolf's Tooth Mountains, according to him, there are a lot of stone tablets and endless wealth written on them, but neither I nor the rest of the village have found them when they climb to the top, and this may be the only evidence, but unfortunately, my father did not tell me how to read it, so I don't know what is written on it. ”

Taking the parchment scroll with a slight Jimmy body temperature, Roger did not translate the content of this for the first time, but noticed the strange format of the rubbed text on the parchment.

Comparing the two same characters in the so-called inscription, Roger boasted that his eyes were not bad, but he couldn't find the difference in the writing of these two characters at all, and ordinary people can't reach this level of handwriting.

"Did your father copy the inscription exactly, and did he put the sheepskin on the inscription?"

Seeing Jimmy hesitating and nodding, Roger thought for a moment before focusing on the content, and with the help of the translation program, Roger easily translated the inscription that Amy's father was puzzled by.

Clearing his throat, Roger read it out loud to Jimmy's astonished gaze.

“...... Well, maybe dragons have different eye structures than we do, they may be able to see in the dark, and their hearing should be similar to that of humans, but they will have a keen sense and can sense the movement of invisible objects.

To be sure, dragons can fly, walk and swim, after all, their wings are not ornaments.

And dragons will become stronger with age, older dragons are usually invincible, on the contrary, young dragons will be vulnerable, of course, for humans, even the youngest dragons are already the most terrifying nightmares.

Dragons should not have a tendency to live in groups, they will live alone most of the time, as is the case with most of these apex predators.

In addition, we should also understand that dragons mostly live in caves and love treasures, usually caves will collect a lot of treasure, and there are also a few dragons in human form hidden among humans, but most of the time it will invite disasters, and there are many legends related to it.

....... Rudd asks his brother Freilly, who tells him, "It's the cry of a dragon." This dragon is fighting an alien dragon. Just measure the lord's land, dig a pit in the center, put in a crucible filled with mead, and seal it with silk. Two battled dragons will fall into the cauldron and fall asleep after drinking the honey. You must immediately seal the pot, bury it in a sarcophagus, and then find a strong place to bury it in the ground. This will save your kingdom from external calamities."

"It may seem like our dragons are synonymous with brutality and greed for money, but these descriptions do sound like legends. Linda concluded with a frown.

"No, not legend. ”

Jimmy and Roger said in unison.
