63: It's all stories
When he had killed the Black Dragon Princess and started to divide the spoils, Misr and Greenhill mentioned another one from his hometown...... A series of games "Monster Hunter" to be precise
Before the Rice Shan crossing, in the latest game in the series, Monster Hunter World, the player meeting place was ...... It's about the same as a tavern in World of Warcraft, and it's called "Between the Five Dragons"
So when the hotel owner said the name, Rice Shan almost thought he had crossed over again.
"Was this shop called that before?" Mishan asked Greenhill quietly.
"Probably not, my lord, I don't remember it very well." Greenhill said uncertainly.
Sensing the astonishment of the two guests...... The main reason for Mishan's stunned was because of the name of the store, and Daniel, who claimed to be the owner of "Between the Five Dragons", hurriedly explained:
"I just recently changed the name to this shop."
Oh, it turned out that it wasn't me who crossed over, but the owner of this shop.
Mishan looked the innkeeper up and down with a very subtle look.
Daniel, the boss who was a little uncomfortable by Mi Shan, hurriedly explained:
"Haven't you heard the recent rumors about the Dragon Slayer?"
"Dragon Slayer?" Misr and Greenhill glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes.
As a result, Daniel, who took this reaction as if he didn't know, said to himself:
"So you're from Nighttown, right? It's normal that the news hasn't been transmitted. ”
Then the innkeeper, who had become accustomed to dealing with adventurers, in a bard-like tone, was stunned to tell the twists and turns of the dragon slaying incident that took place in Stormwind.
In the innkeeper's story, the Knights of the Silver Hand were early aware of the evil aura of the black dragons in Stormwind.
But in the dark, in order to protect the citizens, the paladins of the Silver Hand Knights in the Stormwind branch did not act rashly, but brought the news to Uther Lightbringer, the Grand Master of the Silver Hand Knights.
Upon hearing the news, the Lightbringer immediately dispatched his most capable paladins to Stormwind to investigate.
Then after resolving the difficulties and dangers under the black dragon cloth one after another, this capable paladin completed the great cause of dragon slaying.
The whole story is logical and beautifully worded, coupled with the storyteller Daniel's eloquent explanation.
Misr and Greenhill, who listened to the story, were stunned.
"That's it, thank you to the Lightbringer, to His Majesty the King, for the sake of the Alliance!" Daniel, who seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of Misr and Greenhill, picked up the one in front of him and read it with a false salute.
The adventurers who heard the boss's words also raised their wine glasses and shouted, "For the alliance!" ”
After glancing at Greenhill with an embarrassed expression on his face again, Mishan asked, "What about ...... And now what about the dragon slayer? ”
"Who knows? That kind of big man must have more important things to do, and he has probably returned to the headquarters of the Knights in Lordaeron to report on his work. Boss Daniel said.
Unaware that the "Dragon Slayer" in his story was sitting in front of him.
"So...... You changed the name of the store to Between Five Dragons? Mishan guessed why the boss had crossed over.
It's not a crossing, it's a coincidence......
"It was supposed to be between the five-colored dragons, after all, the legend says that those dragons have five colors." Daniel, the owner who did not deny Mishan's words, said: "It's a pity that Mayor Solomon didn't allow this name to be used, so he changed it." ”
Well, the reason for the birth of this coincidence is also too bizarre.
“…… I kind of feel what it's like to be touted by those NPCs in the Holy Light Temple. While the owner, Daniel, went to prepare the "authentic Red Ridge Mountain stew and pork chops", Mishan whispered to Greenhill.
"Most of the time, I just block out those words, my lord." Greenhill also showed a tired expression.
"How would Uther react if she did hear the gossip?" Mi Shan asked curiously.
"Don't worry, sir." Greenhill said, "Even if the Lightbringer knew what I was doing, it would be a different version. ”
“?” Mishan was puzzled for a moment.
"Didn't you hear all those adventurers talking about it, my lord?" Greenhill reminded.
Under Greenhill's reminder, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the rice shan that those adventurers were blowing, and found that this was indeed the case.
Even if you put a table and tell a story that is not the same thing at all, these adventurers still talk about it with relish.
And when you really come across a completely different place, every storyteller can come up with a bunch of "reasons...... For example, the husband of the uncle's sister-in-law of a relative's friend who knows someone who works in the Stormwind Guard and witnessed that scene with his own eyes.
to prove that only what you say is right.
When you really can't persuade each other, you can either taunt each other and say their own things, or go out and plant a flag and talk with a fist.
If there's one thing in common in the stories these people tell, it's that all of them are false, and none of them are true.
Oh no...... In fact, there is another thing that is true, that is, everyone is very sure that the "Dragon Slayer" is a human female paladin.
Looking closer, Mishan found that not everyone was talking about it.
There were a few people who remained silent, sitting intently eating in their seats, and these people were basically senior adventurers who were more than one grade higher than those ordinary adventurers.
When looking at the past, Mi Shan always felt that these people were also paying attention to themselves, but when he looked carefully, he found that there was no such thing.
"Did any of these people find out who you are?" Miscellaneous, who didn't take this feeling as an illusion, asked Greenhill.
"Yes, and several." Greenhill replied immediately.
"Oh?" Hearing Greenhill's words, Misr knew that her feelings were really not delusional.
"But they're not going to debunk it here." Greenhill said with experience, "Even if there were, I would have left here, and I guess I would see them on the Burning Plains...... If they can keep up. ”
"Do you want to sign up?" Mishan said with a smile.
As a result, what was originally just a joke made Greenhill show a thoughtful expression.
"Uh...... I wonder if it's really going to be autographed, right? Misr Shan, who saw Greenhill's expression, was surprised.
"Maybe it's not just about signing it." Greenhill said: "It could also be that you ask me for some pointers, or simply challenge me." ”
"That's ...... Not surprising. "After all, there is no first in Wen and no second in Wu, the only thing that Mishan can be sure of is that those veteran adventurers who want to challenge Greenhill have never really faced the dragon's dragon might.
According to Solar, who is still lying on the ground, when facing the dragon power of the black dragon princess, it will even make people have thoughts of suicide.
Greenhill also mentioned that the first necessary item to challenge the Black Dragon Princess Onexia - the "Onexia Dragon's Blood Talisman"
It was to make her, who was still an ordinary adventurer at the time, immune to Long Wei.
Without it, you wouldn't even be able to hold a sword in the face of a dragon, let alone challenge it.
As for later, more dragons were killed, so naturally there was no need for this kind of thing.
