Chapter 4 Doubts
"Actually, the main reason is that this dragon is too greedy" Didat, as the guardian of Agori City, does know all the truth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info"The city of Argoli pays a quarter of its annual taxes to the dragon, and we've enforced this rule for thousands of years. β
"Thousands of years?!" Tilly exclaimed, judging from the economic level of Argori City, if it really continued to pay taxes for thousands of years, then this dragon could really be regarded as a rich country.
"Yes, such a huge expenditure has caused the development of Argoli City to be quite restricted, and at the same time, such a red dragon so close to Argoli City is also making the city lord uneasy day and night, if he comes to attack Argoli City, we have almost no chance of winning." This reason is a statement handed down by the castle lord's grandfather, the guy who unilaterally renounced the contract, and is agreed by everyone who doesn't know the inside story.
"That's right, if this dragon is unhappy one day, Argoli City is very likely to be attacked." The paladin nodded, in other words, he would also be overwhelmed by this unstable factor.
"But this dragon has been at peace with the city of Argoli for thousands of years, and I don't think it would be a good choice to break the balance rashly." Druiz Shiru points out the loopholes in Didat's discourse.
Didat shook his head, "That's when we pay a huge amount of gold every year to make sure that dragon is in a good mood, you haven't seen that dragon come to collect money, so, unstoppable, as if we were all his slaves, he took our kindness for granted!" Speaking of this, Didat couldn't help but clench his fists, "If you've seen it, you wouldn't have doubted that one day that dragon will attack us for some strange reason, I don't think he cares what we humans think." β
"Well, excuse me about your bitter statement." Mijas had been listening with his hands folded, but Didat's ignorance still made him uncomfortable. "Let me correct that, first of all, it's 'she', not 'him'. Also, as far as I know, this dragon has defeated many powerful enemies for the city of Argori, and I don't think your efforts have been in vain. β
"Was the gentleman deceived by the messages of those mountain people? The only time the dragon made a move was when a monster came to the range of the Argoli Mountains and angered him, oh it's her, I think the city of Argoli was only saved by the way. Didat himself was dissatisfied with the mountain folklore, "The mountain people thought they were protected by the dragon, and it was ironic that the guards of the city of Agori, who really guarded them, were always forgotten. β
Seeing that the people of the "Silver Scales" adventure team also nodded in agreement, Mijas had a disgusting feeling for some reason, there were ignorant villagers on this continent who worshipped evil gods as true gods and finally harmed others and themselves, but it was undoubtedly a foolish act to deny all the legends in the mountains and forests on this basis.
"Enough!" Mijas's sudden attack overwhelmed everyone present. "Didat, although you are a warrior and may not be as well-read as a mage, as a legend, you are too ignorant!"
"What, what do you mean?" Didat was a little confused by Mijas's rebuke.
"Ahh Mijas uttered a name that was still very well-known hundreds of years ago, "Dragon of Argorius!" If you've read the history of Argori, you'll be familiar with the name! β
"What does Mr. Mijas mean is that the legends of the mountain people are true?" Tilly spoke cautiously, and she and her teammates were a little frightened by Mijas's anger that was just apparent.
"Of course it's true!" Mijas raised his hands, "Even the city of Argoli was built with the help of this 'evil dragon' in your mouth!" Mijas remembers when she was younger, and Mia told her brother and sister stories about that experience. As a legend, even if you don't participate in that circle, but you don't even know the basic information of important places on the main road, I can only think that you are too ignorant! β
"I, why do you say that? You're not ......" Didat just wanted to say that you are not a legend, but suddenly thought that the other party was a "hidden man", and choked up.
Because the legendary strong have an absolutely pressing effect on the non-legendary, and when encountering a real big event, there are also enough strong people to discuss together, so after the war eight hundred years ago, although the large army of the order camp was disbanded, the "small circle" between the legendary powerhouses remained, even the most homely Tang Taoist priest, after the achievement of the legend, will choose to join this organization called "Order Palace", called "that circle" in the circle, at present, in addition to the dragon clan, Most of the legendary powerhouses of the Order camp have joined this organization, and there are many reasons for those who do not join, but most of them are not very honorable.
For example, Didat, the legendary warrior refuses to be with the majority out of a certain "high-minded" mentality. Well, who said that a legend can't be a secondary disease?
"What's more, the city lord of Agori City has always retained the spell of summoning the dragon of Agori, and in the eyes of most people, Agoli City is indeed a vassal of the dragon of Agori, otherwise why do you think the empire in the south and the kingdoms in the north have never had the idea of fighting Agori City?"
"This, this." Didat was speechless, he was not good at words, and he couldn't even quibble at this time.
"If you want me to say, don't worry about the crusade against the dragon first, and find out why your city lord doesn't know that the dragon of Argoli is sheltering the city of Argori, and it is more important to lose the spell that summons the dragon!" Mijas is really convinced, although the city of Argoli is relatively remote, but is it really good to be ignorant like this? What everyone knows, you yourself say you don't know? Mijas knew about it when he was having afternoon tea with a legendary young lady of the elves, who shared it with him as if it were an anecdote.
Mijas remembers that day, Miss Elf had a mysterious smile on her face and a look of "I have a gossip", and then, after Mijas promised to be her model, she said in a deliberately pretended, "share secret" tone: "I heard that the people of Agori are offering a bounty on the dragon of Agori!" Mijas still can't forget Miss Elf's "fish-lipped human" expression, and then Mijas postponed his role as a model at the cost of a longer time limit and hurried back to the Argoli region.
"So, Mr. Mijas came to stop everyone from defeating the Dragons of Argoli in the first place?" Leok thought of his opening remarks, and felt even more embarrassed, "It must be regarded as a flute green, it must be regarded as a stunned blue!" β
"Actually, if I don't come, the Temple of Order will also send others to stop this crusade, but since I have received this errand, they will save their effort." Mijas's words aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Why does the Temple of Order take care of such a thing? Aren't they non-interfering in internal affairs? Didat asked again.
"That's why I say you're too ignorant!" Not to mention that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Mijas became even more angry, "The Argoli Mountains are the seal that guards the Fire Elemental Realm!" Why do you think there is such an abundance of fire in the rocks here? Those little guys are okay, you legend is also here to mischief, I am even more glad that the dragon directly defeated you, if you really let out the mystery and cause the seal to be damaged, the entire continent will suffer a disaster, okay! "Of course, what is more important is that if the Fire Elemental King can directly break free from this seal, it will be impossible for Mijas to solve it alone, so won't the first artifact planned by Mijas fly?
"Fire Elemental Realm...... Seal ...... "Everyone is really scared now, the attack of the Water Element King on the continent eight hundred years ago is still repeatedly mentioned in the textbooks, although there is a trend of training troops in the end, but the name of "the worst continent destruction incident in history" is still there, although this title is about to become an RBQ that everyone has to take with them, but in the past eight hundred years, it has still been firmly worn on the head of the "Fish-Man Invasion" incident.
"So, we almost did such a terrible thing?" Xi Lu thought about the consequences of the Fire Elemental King breaking through the seal, and couldn't help but shudder.
"No, no, no, you can't do it, that's why I didn't get angry until I saw this guy, as a legend, he is the guy who can threaten the seal." Mijas waved his hand, but the "Silver Scales" adventure team didn't feel comforted, but it didn't seem appropriate to argue that they weren't weak at this time, so they were all blushing, especially Gray, the dwarf who loves to drink is a big red face, plus this race is born to love face, and now Gray is already a tomato.
"Mr. Mijas is really, so ungentlemanly!" Tilly stomped her foot hard.
"Then let's do it first, I still have to appease the dragon, but they are responsible for guarding the seal." This is a pretext, but it is also a reasonable reason, Didat wants to go back to Argoli City as soon as possible, as the high-ranking of Argoli, there must be something wrong with their lack of intelligence.
But at this moment, there was an even more surprising unfolding.
"The guy in the hole! You've been defended by the 'Greatsword' mercenary group! Hurry up and leave the valuable things, Lao Tzu may be able to let you live, otherwise the swords in the hands of the hundred or so brothers present will not have long eyes! An arrogant and disgusting voice reached everyone's ears, silencing everyone for a while.
"Go out and have a look?" Mijas watched as everyone stared at each other, gave an offer, and everyone agreed. For the time being, Mijas is the representative of the eight here, after all, he is the strongest.
"Yo? And women? The conditions have changed, and the woman has to stay! "There are not too few women among the adventurers, but there are few beautiful women in any profession, probably relying on the absolute numerical advantage on his side, the mercenary leader began to talk nonsense.
Mercenaries, like adventurers, belong to the profession of taking money to do things for others, but they will be more numerous, because the main source of income for mercenaries is wars between nobles, and small nobles often can't afford to raise too many soldiers, so they will hire these mercenaries to fight for themselves. But because of this, the mercenary profession has lower requirements for strength, because they mainly have to deal with noble private soldiers who have little strength. Among the hundreds of people, there are less than 30 people whose professional level has broken through level 10, and there are only 3 people above level 15, but fortunately, the professionals below the legend can be killed by the number of people, and looking at the tone of this group of mercenaries, it is not the first time they have robbed adventurers, maybe many of those who came to try their luck were planted in the hands of this group of mercenaries before they saw the red dragon.
"You don't have a problem with me hurting people, right?" Mijas pulled out the Falling Star Sword, which he never changed as a gift from his mother, and when he played quests with others, he always chose other legendary equipment. The reputation of "a good teammate for exploring ruins" has long been circulated in the Temple of Order, after all, weapons are the most valuable equipment, and Mijas's reputation for the Temple of Order is worshiped by this.
"No, no, Mr. Mijas, please don't show mercy!" Tilly solemnly pleased.
