The fire in the chieftain's fort was lit, the tables around it were full of food, and the people of the entire tribe, plus Elias and his son, and several caravan leaders, were enjoying the dinner, but at this moment everyone's eyes were on the center of the round fort, which was in the midst of a fierce battle, and on the side stood a dozen defeated tribesmen.

"Bang!"

As Verdanti used the sword of kingship with a scabbard to whip the tall chief Eevee away, everyone in the entire chieftain castle looked at Vildanti, a small knight, in horror, no one thought that this short knight, who looked thin and weak, would be able to easily defeat the strongest warrior of the tribe they were present, and even defeated their chief Eevee without even unsheathing his sword.

Eevee rushed at Verdanti in anger and raised its sledgehammer in anger, but Verdanti easily blocked his attack and knocked him and the hammer out head-on.

Lu Zhiyu walked out and easily grabbed the hammer that could smash the elephant's brains with one blow, and the hammer was knocked out with great strength, but Lu Zhiyu easily held the handle with five fingers and turned it around, brought it back, and the other grabbed the fat leg of mutton and bit it hard, and said jokingly: "Chief, your hammer." ”

Chief Ibu was ashamed and annoyed, he didn't expect that he would be defeated so easily by the other party, and the other party didn't even show his real strength, and he tried his best but didn't even win the other party's son, and he still used a very disgraceful wheel battle.

Verdanti put away her sword and looked at Eevee proudly: "I won, I hope you will allow us to stay here for a while, as you promised, and then provide us with the necessary help to slay the dragon." ”

Eevee blushed so much that he grabbed the hammer, stood up, and looked at Verdanti, the lion man of his own clan, a lot of up and down, and his eyes showed a look of admiration and recognition: "You are very strong, I admit it, but it is useless, you don't understand what you are going to face, it is a dragon of more than ten meters, you stand in front of him, like a weak little mouse, it can easily tear through all your defenses, and the attack you rely on to be proud of, for it, is completely useless." ”

Verdanti raised his head: "Those who are evil will be severely punished!" ”

Chief Eevee said earnestly, "Do you think we don't want to get rid of this dragon?" But no one can do it, at least not mortals, you don't know how many of our young men have been reduced to its food, and it even asks me to make treasure and sacrifice to it every month, otherwise it will crush our tribe and kill us all. ”

When Chief Ibu said this, the originally lively dinner party instantly fell silent, and everyone in the tribe showed hatred and fear, for the evil dragon, they had already killed too many people, but there was nothing they could do with the dragon, they were afraid of its god-like power.

"Sacrifice? What sacrifice? ”

Verdanti looked at everyone present in confusion, as well as the women and children who were secretly crying, suddenly knew something, and then stared at Eevee, looking at the chief Eevee in disbelief and anger: "You even sacrifice to it?" Sacrifice your people to a dragon! ”

Chief Eevee roared angrily, "Do you think I'm willing? But what can we do, we have to survive, the tribe has to live, the lives of all the people in the tribe, I have to take responsibility for them, not like you, say something beautiful, for us, this is survival, this is fate! ”

Elias stood up at this time: "Eevee did not use his own people to sacrifice to the dragon, but used orcs from other tribes. ”

Only then did Verdanti understand why she saw that many people in the tribe were injured, many of them were sad, and the children couldn't even eat enough, Verdanti looked at Elias, and then turned her head to look at Eevee: "So, sacrificing the lives of orcs from other tribes, can you feel at ease?" ”

Virdanti angrily kicked out the bonfire in the center of the Chieftaincy, scattering sparks all over the ground: "I can't accept it. ”

Verdanti angrily walked out of the Chieftain's Castle, the cold wind of the night was resisted outside the valley, the wind in the valley was much lighter, but it was still extremely cold, especially at the moment there were still snowflakes in the valley.

Lu Zhiyu walked out of the castle at this time, and saw Verdanti on the water tower built above: "What's wrong?" Angry? ”

Here, you can see the whole tribe and the scene of the valley, this is a very primitive tribe, there is no metropolis of the bustling and lively scene, simple and pure, every round fort, every light, represents a family.

Verdanti lowered his head: "I don't have an artifact, Chief Eevee has done a good job, he is very responsible, he has protected everyone in the tribe, he is a true hero, and I, indeed, as he said, is just a man who speaks beautiful words." ”

Lu Zhiyu looked at Verdanti: "So what? ”

Verdanti looked at the whole tribe below and remembered all the faces she had seen today, the lovely children, the industrious women, the young men returning from hunting, the children who had lost their parents and the wives who had lost their husbands, and the old people who had been lonely in the snowstorm.

Verdanti stood up: "I've decided, I'm going to get rid of that dragon!" ”

Verdanti looked at Lu Zhiyu's eyes, under the short golden hair, there was a pair of delicate faces, sword-like eyebrows, with a stubborn taste: "Not for honor, not to be a hero, but to protect others, in order to obey the call of your heart." ”

At this moment, Lu Zhiyu suddenly felt that Verdanti had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he no longer wanted to be familiar with the little trouble that he was familiar with before, some silly and stunned little troubles, the Virdanti who had been noisy all day long, wanted to be a knight, wanted to be a hero, and wanted the bard to sing her story.

Lu Zhiyu showed a smile on his face, and suddenly read: "The strong enemy is current, not afraid or afraid, bold and loyal, worthy of the sacred, loyal and upright, would rather die than yield, protect the weak, and do not violate the principles of heaven!"

Halfway through the reading, Verdanti also read along, and Lu Zhiyu nodded after reading it: "You will become a real knight, even, a king." ”

At this time, a figure suddenly came out behind him, and when Lu Zhiyu looked over, he found that it was a human youth, and he immediately recognized it, this was a guard in the previous Elias caravan.

"Hello, my name is Aaron, can I join you? I also want to be part of the dragon slaying team. ”

When the two turned around, they saw a young man with long brown hair and a vicissitudes of life, talking to them, and Verdante stood up excitedly: "Of course, you're welcome, but what will you do?" ”

Aaron immediately said: "I can set traps, swordsmanship is not bad, and at the same time, I am proficient in tracking and concealment, believe me, you will definitely be useful if you take me." ”

Lu Zhiyu looked at this Aaron curiously: "Then why did you choose us?" You know, most people think it's a stupid thing to die. ”

Aaron looked at them: "Risks, always coexist with opportunities, this is a very important opportunity for me, I have things that I have to accomplish, so I am willing to take risks, and I feel that you will succeed." ”

Lu Zhiyu stood up and slapped Aaron's palm: "Welcome, but what I want to tell you is that he is the only one who went to slay the dragon this time." ”

Aaron was stunned for a moment, looked at Verdanti, and then looked at Lu Zhiyu, who looked at his father in disbelief: "Daddy, aren't you going with me?" ”

Lu Zhiyu shrugged his shoulders: "Of course not, why should I go?" I didn't take off the list of kings! ”

A few days later, in the morning, the dragon slayer team finally set off, accompanied by Verdanti, Aaron, Eevee, although he criticized Verdanti's unwise actions, and finally joined the team, in addition to another minotaur named Tiritan, a group of four people, embarked on a journey to drive out the dragon.
