I was vigilant. www.biquge.info I've been in Oasis City for so many years, and the soldiers there haven't been able to do anything to me, and I can't fold in Axel. I carefully observed the expressions of the soldiers, their every move, and the short knife at my waist was clenched in my right hand.

The soldier smiled and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, we just wanted to ask you something." ”

I withdrew my right hand, but I didn't dare to let my guard down.

"In recent years, because sand dragons have appeared in the desert, sand dragons have always damaged merchant ships, so Axel's merchants generally don't use sand boats to transport goods," he said. This year, China has developed an express sand boat, and many wealthy businessmen are willing to buy this kind of merchant ship to transport goods, but they can only carry out short-distance transportation. Yesterday, a merchant was on his way to Axel from the West Coast when he found a huge skeleton. They said that it could be roughly seen that it was the bones of the sand dragon, and there were traces of knife cuts on it, so it should be that someone had hunted the sand dragon. The business of Axel and the West Coast had been affected by sand dragons for many years, and the king wanted to find people who hunted sand dragons and invited them to sit in the palace, so we came out to find people. Today we found out that you are the only one who has recently come from the southeast desert, so we would like to ask you about the sand dragon hunters, do you have any information, and if the information is useful, we will also give you some benefits. ”

Penck came up to me and said, "Well, yes, if you know something, just say it." I've been friends with these guys for many years, and if I have any useful information, I won't do you any good. ”

I was stunned and suddenly laughed.

The group of them looked at me and laughed but didn't know what I was laughing at, and the expressions on their faces already told me they were confused.

"I slaughtered the sand dragon. ”

They exclaimed.

"This sand dragon is still a bit tricky for ordinary people, and it can even kill easily, but for me, its attack mode is still a little simpler, and I can kill it even if I have another one......" Although this is a big talk, it doesn't hurt.

Penk took my hand and excitedly said to me, "Do you know what you've done? Now you're a hero of Axel!"

I don't understand why a mere sand dragon can make me a hero in their mouths. But I was still happy and couldn't help but laugh.

The soldier commander asked, "Is there any evidence that you are a dragon slayer?"

I showed them the scales of the sand dragon.

He reached out to get it, and I immediately took the package back. He smiled helplessly, and I hesitated for a moment to give him a slice. He picked up the scale and examined it carefully.

"That's right, these are dragon scales, similar to the scales on the earth dragon, but the earth dragon's scales are much smaller than this. I've seen the scales of a fire dragon before, and they're about the same size as this one, very similar to this one. A soldier next to him said.

"Raphael, can you come with us? The soldier commander said to me with a smile.

So I followed them to the royal palace.

This palace is really splendid, and before you enter the palace, you can see that the palace is obviously different from other buildings. Entering the palace, the decorations inside are even more dizzying, and I can't help but marvel all the way. Soon we came to a spacious place, and in the deepest part sat a richly dressed young man, I guess the king.

"King, we have found the dragon-slaying warrior you are looking for. The captain of the soldier knelt down before the king and said. "Raphael, don't salute the king yet!" he said, turning to me again.

"Alright, that's all right. The king stood up. "Your name is Raphael, aren't you?"

I nodded.

"You were there when you hunted the sand dragons. Do you have any companions? How many people killed you?"

"I killed it alone. ”

"What...... What? Did you really kill the sand dragon by yourself? Is there any evidence?"

I came with the bag of scales. I was afraid that he would snatch them all, so I only took a few pieces from it and showed them to him.

The king walked over, took a closer look, nodded, and said, "It's like the sand dragon scales collected earlier." Come on, take the sand dragon scales you collected earlier!"

Soon, a soldier brought over a tray with some dragon scales on it with a layer of golden gauze.

The king picked up the scales, compared them, nodded, and said, "I guess so." Then he put the scales back on the tray.

Suddenly, the king quickly reached out to snatch the package from my hand, and I took it tightly with one hand and pulled away his hand with the other. Before I could adjust my position, he held out his other hand, which I immediately elbowed. At this time, he reached out again to grab it, and I immediately lifted my knee to block his hand. When the king saw that I was supported on one leg, he swept my leg with his leg. Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately jumped backwards.

The people next to me exclaimed, and I ignored them and stared at the king. The king clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "You are good, you are probably the one who killed the sand dragon." I was stunned for a moment, for the king wanted to test my skills.

"Over the years, Toreem has been developing the economy, and there are very few people who have such great skills, and today I can see it. The king returned to his throne and said, "Will you be Toreem's general?"

That's a really good question. At first, I just wanted to make a lot of money and live a good life one day, but I didn't expect to get ahead in this way. I'm tempted to accept it, after all, I'm still a little vain. But it's really sad to think that you may have to lead troops to fight in the future, and your life will hardly last a few days, so forget it.

"I don't want to. "I looked firmly at the king.

The people around him, who didn't know who it was, exclaimed, and the king was stunned.

"If I give money, I will take it as a private job, and if I do a long-term job, I am still willing to do odd jobs for others, earn some money, and live my own life. ”

"Haha, okay, if I ask you for anything in the future, you can take it as a private job, and I will prepare enough employment money. However, the previous general died while hunting the sand dragon, and since then there has been no suitable candidate, so you can always be Toreem's general if you wish. ”

"Forget it, general, if you give me some money, I will accept it politely. ”

"That's for sure, you helped us hunt the sand dragon and solved a big problem for us, I definitely want to reward it. Come on, prepare 10,000 gold coins for Raphael, and then go and clean up the mansion by the sea, and hand it over to Raphael today. ”

10,000 pieces! From then on, I almost didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the life I wanted to live finally came. I still remember the days of being a thug in the slums, and now I have turned over and become a rich man all of a sudden. Happiness came so suddenly that I couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

"But," the king became serious again, "before I have a matter of which I would like your help. ”

"What's the matter? If I can do it, I'll do my best. ”

"As for what, you will come to the palace tomorrow, and we will talk about it in detail. Today, you should go back and pack up and get ready to move into your new house. ”

I was taken back to the punk quarters. "How's it going, Raphael, what did the king say?" I was asked by curious punks as soon as I entered.

"He said that I had done them a great favor by hunting sand dragons, and that he would reward me with 10,000 gold coins and a mansion. I was about to pack up and move in. I said as I packed my things.

"Wow, that's so good! Look, you've become a hero to Torrem. ”

"By the way, how else do I want to thank you for saving your life. Before the reward has been given to me, I'll give you all this bag of dragon scales. With that, I handed it over.

"It's great, I've been worrying about the lack of funds lately, and now it's finally been solved. ”

"Alright, I've got it packed. Then I'll go first, and I'll see you later when I have a chance. "After packing up and saying goodbye to the punk, I went to the mansion by the sea with the soldiers.

Riding in the dragon cart pulled by the dragon, we soon arrived at the beach.

Compared with the royal palace, this mansion is really not much inferior, but rather, this mansion is a different scenery: blue roof, white walls, against the blue sky and white clouds, there is a kind of fairytale-like artistic conception. I prefer this mansion to the architecture of the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the dragon cart stopped. After getting out of the dragon car, I looked up and found that the front yard was quite large, and the gate was still some distance from the mansion. Directly opposite the gate is a delicate fountain, and the rest of the place is full of flowers and plants, much richer than the plants of Oasis City. There was a flower in the garden that caught my eye at once, and I couldn't help but walk towards it and stop in front of it.

In recent years, because of the increase in trade between Axel and Dabulin, many specialties of Dablin Island have been moved to Axel, and this flower is one of them. Legend has it that once upon a time, a magician fell in love with a young girl, but the girl lost her life in the war, so the magician used magic to plant her favorite flower in her garden, so that the flower would never wither. Later, this flower became the butterfly flower. ”

"You are?"

"Your Excellency Raphael, from this day forward, I am your butler, Charlie. ”

Seeing that he was dressed very seriously, I believed it. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this king's gourd, giving me such a good house, and also having a housekeeper, I don't know if he sent someone to serve me, or found a group of people to monitor me.

I didn't look at Charlie anymore and walked straight into the mansion. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a row of maids on the left and right, which really scared me.

"His Royal Highness is worried that His Excellency Raphael will not adapt to life here, so he specially transferred some maids from the palace. I wonder what you think?"

Seeing that these maids were also young and beautiful, I wanted them all to disperse. But thinking of the situation when I used to do odd jobs all over Oasis City, I didn't want to have some easy work, and when I thought about their lives, I would make them easier if I stayed, so I didn't say anything, just nodded.

Charlie asked me to take a shower and change my clothes, and I got rid of him. But this bathhouse is also amazingly large, and I saw it today.

"Your Excellency Raphael, do you need me to give you a bath?"

"Your Excellency Raphael, do you need me to make you soap?"

......

What I didn't expect was that there was a row of maids standing at the door of the bathhouse. I couldn't take it anymore and blew them all away.

I took off my clothes and sat in the bath, feeling like I had entered heaven, with a feeling of comfort that I had never felt before, I guess I had never taken a hot bath when I was in Oasis City. Finally, the good days I had been looking forward to came.

After taking a shower, when I came out, I found that my original clothes were gone, only a set of gorgeous-looking clothes that were placed on the cabinet. In desperation, I had no choice but to put it on. But I feel uncomfortable after wearing this dress, probably because the clothes are too tight, although the material is very good, I still don't like it.

"Charlie, are there any looser clothes? or lighter. "I made a request to them for the first time.

"Your Excellency, this is the clothes sent by the king, you should get used to it. Even if you really don't want to wear it, new clothes won't be available until a few days after the tailor has made them. ”

"Then wash my old clothes and wear them as usual. ”

"That dress is too shabby to fit who you are now. ”

"But I don't have any special status, but I have received a little reward from the king. ”

"It's more than a point. Kings have always been rewarded for meritorious deeds, and have never been given special treatment because of their status or privileges. You must have received such a great reward this time, and you must have made great achievements, how dare we snub you. ”

"Hey, it's just that even if you hack a sand dragon to death, it's not so exaggerated. ”

"Sand dragon, my God, this reward is nothing compared to the sand dragon. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Since the appearance of sand dragons, sand boats have not been able to go to sea, because sand dragons have always destroyed sand boats. In desperation, the merchants could only rely on the earth dragon to pull goods, but the efficiency was very low. As a result, Toreem's economy was greatly restricted, and a distant place like Oasis City gradually became an isolated island, and few merchants were willing to take a long detour to Oasis City, and naturally, trade with it was cut off. After the death of the sand dragon, a large number of sand ships can go to sea again, trade between Torem can be carried out normally, and the economy can return to its original development speed, thus speeding up the development process of Torem. What you do is of great significance to the country and to the businessmen, so the reward you are receiving now is not an exaggeration. ”

I didn't expect the sand dragon that almost took my life to become my mascot. It seems that I have to be mentally prepared for not being able to bear the gratitude of people.

When it was time to finish eating, I was invited by the king to a celebration feast. I wore this tight dress and rode to the palace in a dragon carriage.

In front of the palace, a large number of people had gathered, and as the sun had set, I could not see what they were, but they all seemed to be calling my name. I had a sense of foreboding.

The dragon cart stopped, at the gate of the palace, and I was reminded by Charlie that it was time to get off the dragon cart. At some point, a platform was erected at the entrance of the palace, and I did not have it when I left the palace.

At this moment the king came out of the palace and waved his hand in my direction. At this moment, the people behind him shouted for the king.

The soldiers around him lit many torches and inserted them around the platform, and the whole platform lit up in an instant.

The king came over, took me by the hand, and walked onto the stage. Suddenly, I was a little panicked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Torem was once a prosperous country, and our maritime trade with the islands of Osser, Armenia, and Dablin has made our economy prosperous for centuries. However, since the war between Osserand and Armenia, sand dragons have appeared in the desert of our country, and the sand dragons have repeatedly destroyed our merchant ships, and the economic level of other cities except Axel has plummeted, and our commerce has been shackled for more than 20 years. But just a few days ago, a dragon slayer warrior appeared, and he single-handedly killed the sand dragon that had plagued us for many years. Now that his name has gone down in history, we in Torem will never forget his name - Raphael!"

The king's words made the people in the audience shout my name, I have never seen such a scene, and some of them cannot stand it. The king shoved me, and I staggered two steps, and found me standing at the front of the platform, in front of me a group of people shouting my name. I didn't know how to put it, so I waved my hand to the audience.

"From today onwards, Raphael will be our honorary general, escorting the prosperity of Toleem!"

Sure enough, this celebration banquet was a trap, and now I can't refuse the position of this general. But anyway, the good days I look forward to can be regarded as the first experience, and once the wish is fulfilled, it doesn't matter what happens after that. I accepted the position as a matter of course.

"Tonight, in order to celebrate General Raphael's exploits in hunting sand dragons, I have prepared a banquet in front of the palace, and I hope everyone can come and have a drink with General Raphael!"

Then the king took me to the king's palace. From a distance, the front of the palace was full of people dressed in splendid costumes, who were supposed to be the civil and military officials of Torem and the local princes and nobles.

The king introduced me to them, and I toasted them one by one. Anyway, I'm good at drinking, and they drank a lot in the slums and Harvey, and I didn't drink them all in the end.

And just like that, the lively night passed.

When I returned to the mansion, I was still half awake, so I took another shower to wash away the smell of alcohol from my body.

"Your Excellency Raphael is really a good drinker, seeing that some of those officials and nobles are fluttering, and you don't blush at all, it's really amazing. Charlie exclaimed.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it. But the king is really rich, and he is not afraid that the citizens will eat him poor. ”

"The people of Axel are quite wealthy, and they don't care about this meal. However, there were quite a few people who came for a drink, and the king seemed to be well prepared. ”

When you think of the people of Oasis City, there is a world of difference between them and Axel. It seems that where the economy is developed, people live a more prosperous life. But it reminds me of Harvey's gang, who may still be hungry and full, while I'm full of food and drink and live a life of luxury. Gou is rich and noble, and there is no forgetfulness. I wish they would have received the reward I had received, because any one of them would have slaughtered the sand dragon. But the Oasis City is a remote place, but the resources are enough, and people don't dare to go out, so the people there live such a hard life, and they have to look at the faces of the merchants and nobles. One day, it would be better to open up the road between Axel and Oasis City, so that the people there can also live a good life, and by the way, piggyback on the small village that passed by.

With this hope, before I knew it, I fell asleep in the bathroom.
