"You're a bard, aren't you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I know all the people in the village, I haven't seen you, you must be a newcomer, there are generally three kinds of outsiders in our small village, hawkers selling goods, travelers passing by, and bards traveling everywhere, you have nothing else in your body except this raged clothes, you are definitely not a hawker, you don't look like a passing traveler on the dead road in the back mountain, how can there be a traveler who doesn't come to this kind of road without a road in the back mountain, then you are likely to be a bard."

"You're smart, kid, I'm half a bard."

"Hehe, yes, yes, no, no, how can it be considered half, big brother, you won't lie to me."

"Half is half, I'm not a bard, but I can do what bards can do, I can do what they can't, and don't call me brother, my age will scare people to death."

"Don't say so much, since it's half a bard who always tells a story, I haven't heard a bard tell a story for a long time, so it's okay for my big brother to tell me one."

"Hehe, that's it, I'm just bored, what the little doll wants to hear, I'll tell you."

"Tell me the story of the dragon-slaying hero."

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"Well, I like heroes the most, he's so powerful, he can even kill dragons."

"Powerful, whatever is powerful, it's just a trend of interests, and without interests, who will risk death to kill the dragon."

"Alas, no, it was not the dragon Fafnir who destroyed an ancient country by coveting its great wealth, causing the displacement of countless nobles and peasants, and the death and wounding of countless people. Was the heroic Adelly inspired by God to kill Fafnir with the support of countless companions and righteous and brave soldiers, marry the princess and re-establish a great kingdom? ”

The Boss asked with a wink of big curious eyes. He has heard this story countless times, and he can almost recite it if he is familiar with it, and when many bards told this story before, they all portrayed the evil dragon Fafnier as ferocious and vicious, taking money when he sees it, eating people when he sees it, and at the same time it is extremely ugly, his favorite thing is to nest in a volcano full of sulfur smell and eat people who are still alive, this evil dragon has no good place in his body, as if he was born to do evil, it is simply the embodiment of sin, more evil than a fallen demon.

And the hero Adrly is the opposite of the evil dragon Fafnir, righteous, heroic, hot-blooded, strong, handsome, all the praise words in the world can be put on him, he is like the incarnation of the gods, with endless strength and perfect temperament, he seems to be born to be worshiped and admired, he is a dream, perfect to unrealistic dreams.

The story of this dragon-slaying hero is very cliché, but it has a huge power to confuse people's hearts, there has never been a magic that can confuse the hearts of generations of teenagers almost eternal, even if it is forbidden to spell, this legendary story has done it, the story of the dragon-slaying hero has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is still popular, so that the young people who have not yet grown up are dazzled, and regard Adley as their lifelong idol, and so is the boss.

"Then do you want to hear me repeat the story of that dragon-slaying hero you heard before? Or do you want to hear the truth about this story being covered up? ”

The boss remembers that at that time, the guy who called himself half a bard smiled wickedly, but the next look was full of vicissitudes and bitterness, as well as more complex and deeper emotions, the boss was still young at that time, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the person in front of him showing this emotion, but the boss knew very well that the person in front of him must be a person with a story, and this story was definitely not ordinary, just like the depth and desolation in his eyes.

"Then tell me the truth in your mouth, I have heard the story of the dragon slayer hero dozens of times, I hope you can tell the plot I haven't heard."

"Hehe, little doll, don't be sad later."

The scruffy bard closed his eyes, as if to remember something, and the boss waited a while for the bard to speak: "At that time, it must have been autumn." ”

"What's the matter?" The boss muttered dissatisfied, and it took him half a day to hold back such a sentence, and if it was in normal times, the bard who could speak well would have finished half the story a long time ago.

"That's it, I won't recall, let's get straight to the point, it was a bumper autumn a thousand years ago, when there was an ambitious lord, he not only had money, food and a little brother, but also a head and a brain and a calculation. But his status is not high, and even if the small remote marquis has a large fief and a lot of wealth, he is just a hillbilly with a little more money in the eyes of the nobles in the imperial capital. The wealth and power of any force need to accumulate and precipitate for a long time, and the longer the process, the deeper the precipitation, and the status will naturally rise, the lord's family is only two generations, to have no heritage, to history without history, maybe when the ambitious lord leaves the west, the wealth he has accumulated can be immediately squandered by his descendants, as the old saying goes, the rich are not as good as three generations, If it is normal to say that it takes at least three generations for a lord to succeed in ascending to the throne of the supreme world in the world, and if one of these three generations makes a mistake, this family will be wiped out in the long river of time, just like many other noble families that suddenly rise and then disappear. ”

"So, he desperately needs a way to improve his status and wealth, and even fame, so that his descendants will have more cards in the face of hostile circumstances, and this lord is called Adley."

The boss was startled, and suddenly wanted to say something, but he couldn't bear it and held it back, although the friends around him were chattering with each other and noisy, but none of them raised their own questions, everyone understands the rules of listening to stories, and if there are any problems, they can't be raised in the process of telling stories by others, it is very rude to interrupt other people's stories, and if there are any problems, wait for the other party to finish telling the story.

"Edelly is a man who is very good at calculating gains and losses, and at the same time is rigorous, harsh, unsmiling, but very kind to people, and very kind and friendly to the peasants of his territory. For the passing travelers to provide three days of free accommodation, for the passing business travel and has a very preferential policy, this policy of benefiting the business and the people plus the territory of the excellent security and smooth people, in just more than ten years so that Adley got a lot of wealth, even if his territory is located in a remote area, his city is also very prosperous, business travelers also like to this city with good security to sell their own goods. ”

The bard paused, and this time he simply sighed and continued: "Speaking of Adley's appearance, he is not very good-looking, not ugly, he looks like a very peaceful man, you will never feel bored and uncomfortable with him, and you can understand his personality after a little conversation with him. As for those legends that Adriel has a beautiful appearance like a saint and even an elf is inferior to himself, it's, what does a man want to give birth to such a good-looking woman to eat. As for his character, although it may be exaggerated by later generations, Edley is indeed a good politician and capitalist, and he is also a good man by my standards. ”

"He was only 25 years old when he gained a lot of wealth, he was very young and very old, he was not like the greed of other young people, he was not willing to take one step to the sky, he was very smart, just as he had obtained so much wealth and did not suffer too much envy from the nobles around him, he had his way of being, neither offended nor silenced himself. Accumulation is his motto. ”

"If it hadn't been for that person, perhaps, Adelity would have been accumulating wealth like this, accumulating wealth to an astonishing extent, and then letting his unfilial descendants squander this wealth little by little."

"That man, named 'Nightmare', is a magical magician and the beginning of Adley's dragon slaying."

"Before I talk about slaying dragons, I will first tell you what dragons are, dragons are supposed to be intelligent higher beings in your plane, they are powerful, intelligent, and have unparalleled talents for combat and magic. Fafnir is one of the elders of the Red Dragon Clan, he is wise, noble, and has unimaginable destructive power, his temper is the opposite of his tyrannical power, he is peace-loving, silent and calm by nature, loves to think, does not like to kill, and never goes to a place where humans live. ”

"Hu, nonsense, Fafnir is an evil dragon, he grew up eating people, he is a bastard who deserves to die." A little kid finally couldn't help it and interrupted the bard.

The bard laughed: "Who told you that dragons grew up eating people, and besides, is it wrong for dragons to eat people?" ”

"Isn't it wrong to eat people?" The little ones chattered back.

"Then you eat pigs, fish, and sheep, and are you evil things like Fafnir to pigs, fish, and sheep?"

The child was stunned, and after a long time, a child replied unconvinced: "Then, how can it be the same, we raise pigs and sheep, so naturally we can eat them, not to mention that they are so stupid......"

"Then what do you mean is that if the dragon keeps humans in captivity, they can also be slaughtered and eaten, sheep are very stupid, aren't humans even more stupid for dragons, you are prejudiced, what is good for yourself is good, what is good for yourself but what is good for other things is also bad for you, only allow yourself to do it, and do not allow others to do this kind of domineering idea is what you call justice? Hehe, what an interesting and naïve opinion......"

No child dared to reply at this moment, although he was not convinced, but no one could refute the words of the bard, the bard stood high, and naturally looked farther.
