Chapter 15: Dragon Quest
Chris is taller than a circle of people around him, and he can see the inside of the arena even from the back. Merlene could see inside with Chris holding her waist. Merlin leaned back so that her back could rest better against her husband's not too strong chest. Of course, Merlin secretly used the Light Feather Technique with half the effect on herself. Although she knew that her husband would be able to lift her completely for an hour without using the Light Feather Technique like this.
In the field, under the control of the old man, the light and shadow of the cloud on the left hand side gradually changed into the shape of a flame, and then the flame turned into a dragon with flames all over its body. "Roar. The dragon appeared. Under the backdrop of the old man's timely voice, some of the younger children were scared to death.
Then, a figure stood out from a group of human troops to the right of the old man, and the color of the figure became more and more distinct, and the weapon in his hand was full of golden light.
"It's the king's hammer!It's the king!It's the king!The king has appeared!" the older child in the group of children began to scream. Led the other children to shout together.
The old man smiled and looked at the children in front of him. "Yes, children, it's the king. ”
Immediately after, the golden king swung the golden king's hammer and collided with the flaming dragon.
Then a black-red figure with a large sword lit up behind King. Confusion appeared on the children's faces.
Immediately after that, a dark yellow figure lit up behind King. The children scratched their heads.
"Grandpa, who are they, how are they different from the stories we saw before. ”
"Yes, yes, we've seen it many times, this time it should be King's lover who appeared, she started a duel with the dragon in order to protect King, but was killed by the dragon, and King watched his lover die in his arms, filled with grief and anger, fought with the dragon for seven days and seven nights, and finally killed the dragon to avenge his lover. ”
"It's rare that I brought all the handkerchiefs to wipe my tears today. A girl older than Jack waved a pink handkerchief in her hand.
"They are all king's companions, partners who go together to slay the dragon. ”
The old troubadour came to King's side again and made a black figure with a bow.
Ryan's eyes were full of doubt, and he rubbed his eyes, not knowing if it was an illusion, he felt that the figure with the bow was particularly like Thunder. Maybe it's because of the bow. Ryan muttered to himself.
"You lie, King doesn't need the help of a partner! King is invincible. ”
One of the tall children pointed to the old man.
The other children echoed together. The adults present also discussed, they all grew up listening to the story of King slaying the evil dragon, and the invincible image of King has long been ingrained in their minds for so many years, they don't believe that King has a partner, or they can't accept that King has a partner.
Angry children began to walk out, one, two, three....... After a while, most of the crowd left, and the crowd that had been surrounded by water seemed much thinner at this time.
"Yes, children, yes, King is invincible, don't you like King so much, don't you want King to have a companion by his side like you, if he gets lost, if he is hungry, if he wants someone to talk to him.
The old man's low, slightly hoarse voice was not loud, but it just overshadowed the other voices present and reached everyone's ears.
Chris even felt as if the troubadour was glancing this way.
The old man figured out another white figure with a giant sword on his back beside King, carrying one behind his back.
The children in front of the stage looked at each other left and right, and gradually quieted down.
"Grandpa, who are the king's companions? ”
A little girl with big watery eyes asked curiously the old troubadour who was still fiddling with light and shadow.
"That gray figure's weapon is so strange. ”
A little boy said.
"That white figure's sword is so big. ”
"Look at how that man didn't have a weapon. ”
"That man's weapon is on fire. ”
........
The children are curious babies who are good at discovering, and before the old man has even begun to answer, the children are talking about it.
"Okay, kids, let me tell you slowly. ”
The old man looked at the children in front of him with a smile on his face.
"This one is Billy the Demon Knife. The old man pointed to the gray light and shadow with a strange weapon in his hand.
"This is the Dragon King of the North. ”
"This is a gentleman's arrow. ”
"This is black lightning. ”
"This is the Great Stone Holy Buddha. ”
........
The old man controlled the figures in various movements and fighting postures, and at the same time gave a timely speech in accordance with the movements. Fresh characters, fresh stories quickly aroused the interest of the children.
Chris and Merlin, on the other hand, shook their bodies when the old man said the first name, and looked at each other, Chris looked around, as if no adult had heard of these names.
Looks like we'll need to talk to the old troubadour later, Chris thought.
The old man, with the golden light and shadow, led his companions to rush towards the fierce dragon on the other side.
Fluffy.... The glow of various lights and shadows, powerful crashing sounds, and gorgeous blasting sounds pushed this battle to the top.
With a loud bang, accompanied by the cheers of the children, the evil dragon was finally defeated by King again. The story of Dragon Quest ended with the children dancing and shouting.
The adults around began to disperse, and the children in front of them reluctantly left as they watched the light and shadow disappear on the stage. Merlin stepped forward to search for Jack and Ryan's voices.
Chris paced up to the old troubadour who was concentrating on packing up,
"The story of the gentleman is wonderful and admirable, and I would like to take the liberty of saying that the story of the gentleman is different from the previous versions, so I am quite curious. Chris stepped forward with an imperial standard salute.
"Are you curious about the truth or content of the story?"
The troubadour continued to rummage through his things.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being disrespectful to my husband, for the troubadour defended his profession with his life, and is a man whom we respect, so the story that comes out of the mouth of the gentleman is not in doubt. ”
Chris bowed slightly.
It's just that the king's story that has been circulating in various parts of the mainland over the years is not what I heard today, and the content of the story is also incredible, so I am confused. ”
"Xiaoyou should know this story better than I do. ”
The old man turned to look at Chris.
"When the truth is fake, the fake is true, and when the fake becomes true, some people say they don't care, but in fact, they care more than anyone else, and some people look relaxed, maybe they feel more pressure than anyone else. The old man continued to clean up.
"What kind of person are you? The troubadour turned to Chris.
