Chapter 2016: Pretending to be obedient
When the strength of a species is beyond the scope of the vast majority of species, those who are relatively weak will involuntarily exclude the former from the category of organisms.
For example, the calamities that can destroy mankind, and the dragon, for example.
In my previous conversation with Bakar, I was pretty sure that dragons, like us, were creatures, only more powerful.
Although the dragons look down on humans, they at least classify humans as living beingsβmaggots, not dust.
In contrast, humans are much more excessiveβ"Dragons, can they really be called animals?" β
Boss Wren questioned me rarely: "This kind of monster is beyond human cognition, it should be regarded as a monster, not a creature." β
"Can't you be called an animal if you're strong?" I was puzzled: "Dragons are actually the same as us, they can eat, drink, pull and sleep, have feelings, have personalities, and occasionally make a little joke......"
"Wait" Boss Wren stared at my face and said word by word, "Where did you come to this conclusion?" β
I patted the dragon's skull: "I had a brief conversation with it after fighting it...... I also had a longer conversation with its master. β
"Its master?" Boss Wren's face turned pale: "I can't imagine it." β
"There are so many things you can't imagine," I smiled, patted the evil dragon's nose bone, and said, "Do you know where its master is sacred?" β
Boss Wren stared at me, waiting for my answer.
"It is a calamity in the mouth of ancient humans, and even ruled a country for many years!"
"I know the ancient humans," Boss Wren said, "the ancient race that once ruled the Zephyr Continent. β
"What else do you know?"
Boss Wren shook his head: "I only got this information, and the rest were either damaged or destroyed." β
"Isn't there an ancient document with a complete history?"
"No," Boss Wren shook his head again, "At least not in the information that can be obtained without taking too much risk." β
"That's right," I nodded, "Forget it, it's just some history buried in the dust anyway, and even if you know it, it won't do any good." β
This is the end of the conversation.
At my request, Boss Wren took away the dragon's skull, but only temporarily, as he had always felt that it had an ominous aura that had disturbed him.
After that, three days in a row, and in the ability test three days later, I successfully passed the level 10 obstacle and advanced to level 11.
At this point, I have finally entered the ranks of mid-to-high-level adventurers.
Just when I was excited, I found that not only me, but everyone in the guild had already been promoted to a level, and even Xiao Qi had been upgraded yesterday inexplicably.
The thrill of upgrading and the sense of superiority are instantly diluted.
Fortunately, that afternoon, Emily returned.
Emily didn't make a name for herself in the individual tournament of the Japanese Wind Championship, not because she didn't have the strength, but because she didn't qualify - she didn't sign up at all, she just came to the arena as the queen's bodyguard.
Although there was no Emily to participate, eighty or ninety percent of the audience expressed regret, but for herself, it didn't matter at all.
There is no shortage of talent in Moonlight City, and without Emily's participation, another elf girl stands out.
This unknown girl belongs to the Rose Legion, and is one of many students taught by Emily herself, according to Emily: "She is a hard-working talent, but unfortunately she is not a good talent, and she can only be in the middle and upper class among the many new students, not the best." β
- Even so, this girl still passed all the way, made it to the top three, and finally won the third place, becoming the most dazzling dark horse in this Japanese Wind Competition.
Above her, in second place was a werewolf youth from the Iron Wolf Guild, and above that, a little-known adventurer from the Dwarf Guild.
The reason why he said this is because he was born in a small village around Castle Vechic, and since he was a child, he aspired to be an adventurer, and he successfully joined the village branch of the Dwarven Guild and became a glorious member of the Dwarven Guild.
Before the competition, he was promoted because of a battle exploit and became the captain of a team in the branch.
Later, due to boredom and the recommendation of the branch president, he participated in the individual competition of this Japanese Wind Championship and won the championship in one fell swoop.
After listening to Emily's introduction, I was a little speechless.
I remember that Emily won the championship, it can be said that the strong are like clouds, and the masters are like rain, and in the final championship battle, Emily almost suffered a heavy blow before she could win the championship.
At that time, Emily was level twelve, and she was recognized as the strongest of the younger generation on the Zephyr Continent, and was even praised by the national power.
The above are all recorded in the daily newspaper of Arishi, and they are not mixed with any falsehoods.
Looking at this edition of the Japanese Wind Championship again, when mentioning the process of the game, Emily even said a word in an indifferent tone.
"Was there anything worth scoring during the race?" I asked.
Emily shook her head: "It's very decent, it's plain and ordinary, and there are no bright spots." β
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder: "The Japanese Championship has declined?" β
"It's the fall of Eri City," Lirea sneered: "The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the towering wall of Eri City, because of civil strife and hatred, has shaken and shaken the foundation, at this time in the Eri City Japanese Wind Championship, it should be fortunate that so many people can cheer on it, oh, by the way, do you know what the ultimate reward of this Japanese Wind Championship is?" Let's talk about the top prize. β
Emily thought for a moment and said, "A very ordinary piece of enchanted armor. β
"See, what did I say before," Yura sneered and said, "Don't look at the current abundance of the treasury of Ari City, it is all scraped from the common people, the nobles are full of brains, and the commoners are yellow and thin, such a country...... Hum. β
She didn't say too many curse words, after all, it was once her homeland.
"Xiao Yi" Yura turned to me and asked, "What about Rodney?" What is that kid doing now? β
"As a tutor," I said, "with his sister, he taught the children of a noble family. β
"His sister? Which sister? β
"Eva," I said, "which sister would it be?" β
"Heh, I thought it was his cousin, but I really didn't expect that Eva's little girl to dare to betray the Carter family."
"Huh?" I became interested: "It turns out that in your eyes, Eva is the kind of child who will not betray the family!" But I don't see that Eva did a lot of work when she encouraged Rodney to leave. β
"There's such a thing!" Yura said angrily: "That dead girl, pretending to be obedient for so many years, even I was deceived!" β
