Chapter 2019: Questioning
Elder Mera's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth, but he didn't have a good seizure, and after a few seconds of embarrassment, he snorted coldly and turned back to his original position.
Although some of the ministers were in the same boat as Elder Mera, they did not say a word, and stood aside with their necks and heads bowed, waiting to see what happened.
Don't look at them turning a blind eye to Elder Mela's deflatedness, as if they don't pay attention to righteousness, in fact, these are smart people.
The boss in charge of Moonlight City was the Fairy Empress, and no one dared to express her opinion easily before she spoke.
Besides, the one who exchanged words with Elder Mera was also an elder, although he was young, he was on the same level as Elder Mera, and the quarrel between the leaders of the same level, as a subordinate, it was best not to be greedy, in case the words were serious, and the foreign elder was worried about it, and he would be offended in the future.
Of course, the reason is not only the above two points, but also the more important point - this foreign elder is the grandson-in-law of the fairy empress, and this is already a sure thing.
The fairy empress is old, and her granddaughter is still young, and after the registration in the future, this grandson-in-law will inevitably interfere in the affairs of the court.
Don't look at his usual hippie smile, in fact, he is ruthless, and he can be ruthless when facing his compatriots, not to mention foreigners - but don't forget, this kid has not killed the elven nobles, even the big nobles have not been spared.
Counting it carefully, there are only two Majesties and elders who have not been poisoned by Moonlight City now.
Ideas like these came from the mouths of the ministers, and after being eavesdropped by members of the intelligence department under Boss Wren's staff, they were compiled and presented to me.
After looking at them one by one, I almost understood what nearly half of the ministers in the room thought of me, and naturally understood the reason for their silence.
When the hall was quiet, the Fairy Empress spoke: "Explain your words, Xiao Yi, I am also very curious about what it means to be 'yes and no'. ”
"Obey" I bowed slightly, and said: "That dragon skull was found by me in the Gobi Desert at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and when I found it, it was only a skull, so the rumor that I slaughtered the dragon is not true." ”
"And what about 'yes'?"
"Although the dragon only has a skull left, it still has a soul attached, and can summon unjust spirits, as well as some strange things that have never been seen before, and command them to attack me, I have been in danger several times, and finally killed them one by one, and used the remaining strength to slaughter this dragon skull, because there are still some remnants of the dragon's strength in the dragon's skull, so it is difficult to slay the dragon."
"So what you killed was actually only the dragon's skull?" The Elven Empress asked, "Does it have dragon breath?" ”
"Yes" I said: "It was a highly poisonous dragon breath, when it was sprayed on my body, the pain was unbearable, and even my clothes were corroded, but fortunately, I was immune to toxins and blessed by external forces, so I survived." ”
After hearing this, the fairy queen nodded, and said: "Since you can spit out dragon breath, you can barely be called a dragon, so Xiao Yi, your dragon slaying is conclusive, and you are worthy of the title of dragon slaying hero." ”
"I'm sorry, Grandma Empress," I bowed again, "please take back the title of Dragon Slayer Hero, I'm not up to the task." ”
"Your Majesty personally gave you the title, you dare not accept it!" Elder Lindsay raised her eyebrows: "Are you going to resist the order?" ”
"Elder Lindsay" I frowned, quite dissatisfied: "The matter of not being rewarded has not shaken the national capital of Moonlight City, second, it has not destroyed the cohesion of the people, and third, it has not disturbed the court, and I also have a reason not to accept the title, but because Your Majesty didn't ask, I didn't say, but it's you, why are you so eager to convict me?" Even if it's a prisoner, at least a few trials. ”
"Your Majesty is an ancient inheritance, the current Holy King, her will must be beneficial to Moonlight City, as an elder of a foreign clan, you are both a courtier and a junior, when facing the reward, not only did you not accept the title happily, but refused it, is this kind of behavior harmless to Moonlight City?"
"Harmful or harmless, it's not up to you to say it, it depends on whether the country can operate as usual" I said unhurriedly: "Under the wise leadership of the two Majesies, Moonlight City is developing in a more vigorous direction, as for my title of 'Dragon Slayer Hero', it is just a catalyst in the development process, and it is also an unstable kind, that is, it is possible to accelerate the development of the country, and it is also possible to push the development of the country to a fork in the road, in this case, it is better not to be sealed here, and the country can continue to move forward slowly and move towards a better future." ”
"Okay, let's be quiet" The Elven Empress said: "Regarding whether Elder An Xiaoyi disobeys the order, this topic is not suitable for discussion here, it is better to move it to after tea and dinner, as a talking point, Elder Lindsay, what do you think?" ”
Elder Lindsay bowed his head silently, closed his eyes, and said, "Yes." ”
The Elven Empress looked at me, her eyes full of anticipation: "Elder An Xiaoyi, please tell me the reason why you refused to be sealed. ”
"Yes," I said, "I refuse to be knighted because I don't think the act of slaying a dragon is heroic. ”
"Oh?" Everyone was skeptical.
The Fairy Empress then spoke: "Before the reign of the elves, the dragon was called one of the calamities, how is it not a heroic act to eliminate the calamities?" ”
"Yes, you're right, in ancient times, humans did see dragons as a kind of calamity, but have you ever wondered if their definition of dragons is correct?"
"Presumptuous!" Elder Silk Glass glared at me and said, "You dare to question the wisdom of your ancestors! ”
"The ancestors are also human beings, Elder Silk," I said calmly, "as long as you are human, you will definitely make mistakes, especially the perception of the unknown. ”
"Dragons are very powerful, far beyond human cognition, but before the dragon's skull died, I had a conversation with it, please forgive me for not revealing the content of the conversation to everyone present, because it is related to my privacy, I just want to say that dragons are thinking and emotional, and just like us, they are young and old, they can also get sick and die, the only difference is that they are strong and we are weak, but this does not prevent communication, however, the dragon told me on his deathbed, Since it came to the Zephyr Continent, among the humans it has encountered, there is no one who is willing to take the initiative to communicate with it, basically it will start fighting when it encounters it, and fleeing for its life if it can't be beaten, just these two situations. ”
"Actually, don't say it's a dragon, even if it's a human being, it must be very unhappy to encounter the same situation as the dragon, plus the vast majority of dragons are like fire, it is conceivable that they are powerful and angry, and they will not be gentle with us."
The Elven Empress nodded, "Tell me your conclusion." ”
"Yes," I said, "I think the main reason why the dragon has become a calamity is our unfriendliness. ”
