Chapter 4: The Brave and the Dragon

"The dragon slaying bounty has risen again!"

"What, the bounty has risen again, how much has it risen this time?"

"10,000,000 Gold !!!"

At the Hunter's Notice, the crowd was crowded in front of the notice, and the high bounty made everyone's blood boil, but no one wanted to reveal the bounty posted on it.

A young man looked at the bounty that no one stretched out his hand and asked the middle-aged man next to him suspiciously: "Master, why is there no one to take the task with such a high bounty?"

The middle-aged man looked at the apprentice who was about to move, and immediately explained: "Don't you go to receive this reward, it's not that no one took this task because of the high bounty before, but in the end, no one can come back, which means that the people who take this task have disappeared from this world."

As soon as the apprentice heard this, his heart that was ready to move immediately dissipated.

"Ah, then, then no one cooperates in the crusade against the dragon," the apprentice then asked.

"Yes, of course there is, but in the end, the result is the same as a person crusading against the evil dragon, so you better learn from me honestly, don't keep thinking about something unrealistic."

With that, the man left the notice with his apprentice.

The light faded, and darkness began to envelop the city.

In the empty notice, only a bounty slip for slaying the dragon remained, and at this time, a dirty hand tore off the bounty, and the owner of the hand took the torn bounty slip and disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, a large group of people gathered in front of the notice, and this time the crowd was no longer discussing the bounty for slaying the dragon, but about the person who unveiled the bounty list.

"Wow, who is so brave that he dares to take on this hellish mission" This is the heartfelt sigh from a strong man.

", this guy must be crazy about money," said the other hunter.

"I don't think this person will come back."

"I haven't seen anyone come back"

...........

...........

The crowd was full of voices, all discussing this fool who dared to take on this task.

.

.

.

.

In the forest, I saw a young man in tattered clothes trying to move forward, the branches of the tree made the young man's originally tattered clothes even more fragmented, and the young man's body and face were also cut out one after another.

The boy still walked forward without knowing the pain, and he was holding the bounty list in his hand as if he were grasping at the last straw.

.

.

.

I don't know how long it took, the boy finally came out of the thorny forest, the boy looked at the dragon's lair in front of him, he wanted to take a step forward, but hunger and physical wounds made him instantly weak to lie on the ground, the boy tried to get up but failed.

Looking at the end of the road in front of him, the boy finally couldn't help it, his cheeks were washed by tears, and he was angry with himself, and stretched out his hand to think about going a little further.

'Come closer! A little closer! Come on! The boy crawled forward with his bloodied hands, and with his hands he carried himself to the mouth of the lair.

The boy could no longer hold on, and he lay on his stomach at the entrance of the cave and lost consciousness.

.

.

.

.

.

In the evening, the evil dragon that went out to hunt finally returned to the lair, and the evil dragon looked at the human lying in front of his house in front of him, and gently picked up the young man with his front paws in disgust and walked into the lair.

"Hmm" The young man opened his eyes and looked at the stone wall in front of him, he couldn't believe that he was still alive!

As soon as the boy got up, a huge air flow came from behind him, and the boy turned to look at it, and his eyes widened instantly.

Behind him was a huge dragon with wings and claws, scales, and a long snake tail!

The boy quickly got up and picked up a stone, his body trembling and facing the dragon.

The giant dragon looked at the young man's vigilant expression, and suddenly sneered: "Human, this is how you treat your life-saving dragon?" ”

When the boy heard the dragon speak, his whole body froze, and the stone in his hand fell without knowing it.

"You! You! You can even talk!! The boy looked at the dragon in amazement.

"Human, who told you I can't speak" The dragon looked at the boy with disdain.

The young man looked at the dragon that spoke, but still mustered up the courage and said, "Evil dragon, I am here to defeat you!" ”

The boy trembled, but his eyes were extraordinarily serious.

"Oh, the humans who came to crusade against me again?" The dragon looked at the boy, turned abruptly and went into the cave.

The boy looked at the dragon as it entered the cave.

After a while, the dragon came out of the cave again, and saw that the dragon had several pieces of gold and silver jewels on its claws, and he threw the treasure in front of the boy and said, "Do you want it?" ”

The boy glanced at the treasure in front of him, and his eyes continued to stare at the dragon in front of him.

The dragon looked at the young man who was not attracted by the treasure and continued: "If you want, make a pact with me, promise not to reveal everything about me to anyone else, if you don't keep the contract, you will pay with your life."

The dragon paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, you can also try to defeat me" As he said this, the dragon looked at the boy with arrogant eyes.

"Was it like this for everyone before?" The boy relaxed and looked at the dragon.

"Well, most of them are, but there are a few people who don't know how to challenge me, and of course they all end up being a handful of dust in this world"

"Young man, what about your choice?" The dragon stared at the boy.

The boy walked up to the treasure and crouched down, and he chose a bag of gold coins from the pile of treasures.

"That's it?" The dragon looked at the boy who had only taken a bag of gold coins and wondered.

"Well, that's all"

"Okay, sign the contract, you just have to put a bloody handprint on it," said the dragon, pulling out a contract and a knife.

The boy looked at the contract in front of him, picked up the knife and poked his finger on it. The contract burst into flames as soon as the boy pressed his fingerprint.

"Alright, the contract is in effect, remember to keep it, or you will pay a terrible price," the dragon admonished the boy.

The boy bent down to pick up the gold coin and turned to the entrance of the cave, and the boy walked to the entrance of the cave, turned to the dragon and said, "My name is Cain, thank you!" Then he turned and walked away again.

"Inexplicably" the dragon turned back to the cave.

.

.

..

.

Cain flew straight down the mountain, muttering, "Alpha is saved, Alpha is saved"

Cain returned to the place where he lived with his brother with the gold coin, a dilapidated wooden hut. Cain stepped through the door and saw that Alpha was struggling to get up, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother, you're back"

"Well, my brother is back, and my brother has already raised the money to treat you," Cain said excitedly to Alpha.

"Really! But brother, how did you raise such a large sum of money" Alpha couldn't believe it when he heard that his brother had raised money for his treatment, he was afraid that his brother would do bad things for him.

Cain saw his brother's concern, and he hurriedly comforted him: "Alpha, don't worry, my brother didn't do anything bad, the money is clean"

"But..."

"Don't worry, I'll go find a doctor to treat you now," Cain looked at his brother and wanted to ask, so he quickly changed the subject.

.

.

.

.

Three years had passed since Alpha was cured, and Cain and Alpha used the money left over from the treatment to open a tailor's shop, and the brothers kept the shop in good order.

"Hey, hey, have you heard, there's a dragon knight in our city, I heard that it's dedicated to slaying dragons"

"I've heard about it, I've heard that this person has killed more than a dozen dragons, and this time the people came here because the city lord paid the price of half of the treasury to invite people."

Outside the door, two hunters exchanged information about what they knew.

Cain, who was entertaining guests with his brother, was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.

"Alpha, brother has to go out beforehand, you look at the shop first," Cain ran out.

"Alas, brother, you...."Looking at the brother who ran away, Alpha looked at the customers in the store and could only let go of the doubts in his heart first.

.

.

..

Cain ran, ran, he ran forward with all his might, just as he had run to the dragon's lair despite the thorns and dangers.

A white light flashed before his eyes, and Cain knew that he was about to reach the dragon's lair, when Cain suddenly heard a loud wail, 'That's the dragon's voice!' ’

Cain quickened his pace, and soon reached the dragon's cave, he did not dare to act rashly, he quietly crouched in the grass, looked around, and found that there was no one around before running from the grass to the cave.

Cain stopped in front of the cave and looked into the dark depths of the cave, he took a deep breath and walked inside. The further he went, the more Cain could hear the dragon's wail, and Cain quickened his pace.

Cain walked to the deepest part and stopped, only to see the dragon rolling on the ground in pain, golden blood flowing from the corners of the dragon's mouth, and Cain hurried forward.

The dragon sensed that someone was approaching, and he opened his murderous eyes and stared at Cain, "Human, you are here to kill me too?" ”

Cain shook his head, looked at the dragon's painful appearance and stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The dragon recognized Cain, and he let his guard down and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that you insidious humans have plotted against it."

Cain heard the dragon say that he had plotted against humans, and he was silent for a while, then continued to ask, "Is there anything I can help you with, I..."

Before he finished speaking, there were scattered footsteps and shouts at the entrance of the cave, and he could faintly hear someone shouting, "The dragon must be in this lair"

"The dragon has been poisoned and is now weak, as long as we defeat it, we will get a bounty"

"Let's go together"

......

Cain heard that the people outside wanted to rush in, and hurriedly turned and rushed to the entrance of the cave.

The man who was about to head into the cave stopped when he saw Cain rushing out of the cave door.

Cain looked at the more than fifty people in front of him, he forced himself to calm down and said: "I just entered this cave, this is just an ordinary cave, the dragon has run away, let's go look elsewhere"

"You kid liar, I saw the dragon flying into the cave," someone in the crowd shouted.

"Are you kid planning to take this bounty for yourself?" said someone in the crowd conspiracy.

Cain looked at the people in front of him who didn't believe him, he looked at the crowd seriously and said, "I said, there are no dragons in it, if you don't believe it, please take care of yourself" Cain turned sideways and made a gesture of giving way.

The crowd looked at Cain so seriously, and they also believed Cain's words in the slightest.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "No, you see that there is a golden liquid on the cave floor, and I remember that the blood of the dragon is golden!" ”

"Good boy, you obviously want to be alone"

"Everyone, ignore this stinky boy, let's go in and slaughter the dragon, and the bounty is everyone's"

As soon as he finished saying "Ahhh

Seeing that it was exposed, Cain could only step forward and stop everyone, but there were too many people in the crowd, and Cain could only stop a few people. Looking at some of the men who had broken through him and ran into the cave with their weapons in hand, Cain shouted, "The dragon has never taken the initiative to attack humans, so why can't you just let the dragon go!" ”

Instead of listening to Cain's words, the people continued to break through Cain into the cave, and Cain drew one of the men's swords across his side, and Cain's actions made the influx of people successfully stop.

"As I said, the dragon has never taken the initiative to hurt anyone, why do you...."

Before Cain could finish speaking, a man in silver armor walked out of the crowd, and Cain recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was the hunter who said, 'Dragon Hunter Knight'.

The dragon knight stepped forward and struck Cain in the abdomen, directly causing Cain to kneel in pain, Cain opened his mouth and wanted to say something, only to see the dragon knight kick Cain's face and kick him away, Cain lay on the ground, nosebleed from his nose.

Cain tried to stand up, but the dragon knight stepped on Cain's face and said, "I have never seen a human being as willing to fall as you as you did."

"No, the dragon is a good dragon, it saved my brother," Cain explained, even though he was trampled underfoot.

"Oh, it's useless for a betrayer like you to say anything, I'll show you how we cut off the dragon's head today," the knight smiled at Cain, as if the words came out of his mouth as if they were commonplace.

"The dragon is really a good dragon, please let it go," Cain grabbed the knight's silver boots in both hands and tried to remove it.

Seeing this, the knight raised his foot and kicked Cain hard.

The people around saw that the knight was so ruthless, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Knight, he is still just a child, and he is easily bewitched by the evil dragon, so you can let him go, and when the evil dragon is slaughtered, the child will probably return to his senses."

The knight looked around him and tried to persuade him, and he defended himself: "This boy is already a slave of the dragon, he is no longer human, don't be fooled"

After saying that, the knight's feet became more ferocious, and Cain was already unrecognizable, and his consciousness began to dim.

.

.

.

.

"Die, die, hey, hey" The knight simply ignored Cain's life and death, and kicked Cain mercilessly at his feet.

"After, After, Behind"

"Knight, watch out for the back"

Suddenly, the crowd was boiling.

"What's behind?" As soon as the knight wanted to turn around, his whole head was gone, and the knight's body fell directly to the back.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene, only to see the golden and red liquid remaining at the corners of the dragon's mouth.

The dragon opened its mouth and roared, and the whole mountain shook with the roar.

Everyone was frightened by the roar of the dragon, and the first to react hurriedly dropped their weapons and ran back, and some people ran after seeing someone run, for fear of becoming a second knight.

The crowd disappeared in less than a moment, except for the weapons left on the ground, and thus the dragon slaying gathering ended.

The dragon looked at Cain, who had passed out on the ground, and pressed his head against Cain's body in the hope of waking Cain up, but Cain did not respond.

Seeing this, the dragon said helplessly, "What a troublesome human."

The body of the silent dragon emitted a huge light, and the light enveloped the entire cave, and after the light, the dragon was gone, replaced by Cain, who was already intact, and a beautiful girl in a long red patterned dress!

The girl put Cain's head on her lap and said helplessly, "Humans are too weak," and then she took Cain's head with both hands and kissed it.

"That way you won't get hurt again, big fool!" The girl gently placed Cain's head on the ground, turned into a dragon and flew away.

As it grew dusk, the unconscious Cain gradually woke up, and Cain looked at the empty cave in a daze.

Suddenly, Cain stood up, touched his face and body, and said in surprise: "The wound is all healed!" ”

Cain looked at the emptiness around him again, he raised his hand and touched his lips, he vaguely remembered that when he was unconscious, he dimly saw a young girl, and then a piece of warmth covered his lips.

Cain covered his mouth in a daze for a while, and then went down the mountain alone.

.

.

.

.

Cain pushed open the door and saw that Alpha had already cooked a meal, and Alpha saw that it was his eldest brother who disappeared early in the morning who pushed the door in, and couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, where did you go, do you know how busy the store is today, you..."

Seeing that his little brother wanted to continue, Cain immediately apologized and changed the subject. "Ah, I'm sorry, Alpha, big brother suddenly remembered something in the morning, so I didn't have time to tell you, by the way, did you prepare something to eat tonight?"

Alpha has long been accustomed to the mysterious big brother, and when he saw this, he introduced the food he prepared to Cain, "Big brother, I have prepared curry for you..."

.

.

.

.

Five years later, a pair of dragon knights nicknamed the Dragon Protector suddenly appeared in this world, and the knights were famous for not going to crusade against the dragons, but instead he would always protect the dragons who were being defeated by others, because of their high ability, few humans could defeat them, even if it was a group fight, they would also be defeated by the dragon knights.

"Big brother, when do you think you will find your sister-in-law?" I saw a handsome young man asking the equally handsome young man beside him. They were the brothers Alpha and Cain.

"What nonsense, I just want to be able to repay her kindness, and what kind of stuff does the little kid have in his head all day" Cain raised his hand as if he was going to hit Alpha, and Alpha hurriedly flashed to the side.

"Alas~ I'm not kidding, hehe" Alpha smiled at his brother with a cowardly look.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go"

"Going? "Okay," Alpha and Cain continued their quest to find the dragon.

Five years ago

While taking a bath, Cain suddenly noticed a flash of golden light on his chest, which he later determined was left by the dragon.

At that time, it was the dragon who saved him at the top of the mountain, and the softness of the girl's lips that he saw when he was unconscious at that time was also real!

Cain decided to tell Alpha about this after careful consideration, and Alpha immediately felt that he wanted to find this life-saving benefactor, of course, Alpha actually felt that since his eldest brother kissed someone, he must be responsible to the end!

From there, the two brothers began their journey to find the dragon and save the other dragons.
