"You're saying those lizardmen are actually Saturday believers? Other words...... Did they come and rob me on Saturday? ”

Miss Rabbit was stunned by her own inference.

I just watched an episode of Conan, and I was stunned that "the murderer was among us".

She didn't expect that the mastermind behind the Arias family for hundreds of years would be found out by herself.

But then she thought of something, "No, didn't you say that our family's ancient spirit also has something to do with Saturday?" How can a god both protect us and plunder us. ”

"The saurusmen's belief in Sosokus, the embodiment of Saturday, didn't let them plunder everywhere, they themselves needed iron, women, and food to get out of the swamp."

Li Yu explained, "I asked their chief, and he said that their ancestors had originally wanted to trade with the local lord and barter, and the lord agreed to their request, but it didn't take long for him to turn his face and not only keep raising the price of goods, but also demanding that they pay taxes on a regular basis like other lords in the realm.

"At its most outrageous, the price of a fire scythe went up six times a day, and they were unwilling to accept the harsh conditions, and they clashed with the officials in charge of trade, and then the lord ordered the killing of all the lizardmen present.

In retaliation, the lizardmen burned down a village, only to have the lord trick their leader out of the swamp under the pretense of negotiating and shoot him dead with arrows.

"Of course, this is only their words, no one can know what the specific truth is, anyway, since then they have been lacking nothing more than to rob directly, because their ancestors warned them not to trust people outside the swamp, especially those greedy nobles."

Li Yu paused, and then continued, "And they are very smart, they will only dispatch a small number of clansmen every time they raid, and basically not more than a hundred, because they know very well that this kind of small fight is generally solved by the local lords themselves. Once the true number of ethnic groups is revealed, it is likely to attract the encirclement and suppression of large armies. ”

Yin Leiya's face was not very good-looking, and she snorted, "Are they treating the Arias family as a fat sheep, and they will come here to take a look when they are idle?" Then why did thousands of people be dispatched at once this time, didn't they know that even if they defeated the teacup fort, they would not be able to become the masters of this land? The Marquis of Coulomb, and the other nobles of the West, would not sit idly by and watch this happen. ”

"Of course they know that if they escape, they will die, but staying in the swamp is also a dead end." Speaking of this, Li Yu's expression also became serious.

The girl noticed something unusual, she waved her hand, and let everyone around her retreat, leaving only her henchmen, before asking, "What happened in the swamp?" ”

"There's a dragon there." Li Yu said.

"What, what did you say?" Yin Leiya felt that she had prepared for the worst, but after hearing Li Yu's words, she couldn't help but doubt her ears.

"Dragons." Li Yu repeated, "Although it has not yet been determined, according to those lizardmen, that monster is very similar to the monitor lizard they have been hunting, but it is much larger, it has two wings on its back, its whole body is covered with black scales, it is almost invulnerable, and it can breathe terrible flames from its mouth.

"It eats a lot, it must be in its growing season, and when the lizardmen first saw it, it was fishing, and it was only the size of a ewe, but it swallowed a large fish about his size in one gulp, and its whole belly swelled.

Taking advantage of its inability to take off, the lizardman launched some tentative attacks on it, but neither the wooden spear nor the iron sword could pierce the scales on its body, and when it was forced to hurry, it opened its mouth and spewed a flame that burned the two lizardmen, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"When the lizardmen saw him again in a month's time, he was as big as an adult bull, with a strong tail that could sweep off a small tree with a single tail, and claws as sharp as knives that could easily disembowel all prey, not to mention the raging fire that destroyed everything.

"The dragon had come back to take revenge, and it had taken advantage of the lizardmen's unpreparedness to kill seven people in a row before flapping its wings and flying away, but it didn't take long for it to come back again.

"This time it's here to hunt. Most of the food in the swamp was collected by the lizardmen, and as the dragon grew larger and its need for food grew, it began to hunt the lizardmen when it could not catch enough prey.

"After dozens of battles in the space of three months, the lizardmen suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult for both the trap and the blade to hurt the dragon, and as time went on, the dragon grew bigger and bigger, and by the time they decided to leave the swamp, the monster was bigger than the average cottage.

"And now it no longer kills wantonly, it only goes to the lizardmen's residence every ten days and half a month, and after swallowing six or seven lizardmen, it will leave immediately, obviously like humans, and those lizardmen are kept as livestock.

"Fear spreads rapidly among the lizardmen, and if they stay there, they will sooner or later fall prey to the dragon, and finally the lizardmen will make up their minds to leave their home where they have lived for thousands of years."

The news was so shocking that Miss Rabbit was numb again.

She leaned against the wall with one hand, rubbed her temple with the other, and said tiredly, "You wait for me for a while, I'll digest it first." ”

Not only her, but everyone who heard the news had similar reactions to Yin Leiya.

After a while, Fausto came back to his senses first, his eyes widened and he said, "How can it be a dragon?" That terrifying monster had been completely wiped out from the continent of Brattis three thousand years ago, and no one had seen a trace of a dragon after such a long time.

"How could they have appeared out of nowhere, this ...... Could this be a lie from those lizardmen? ”

"It's not like if there were no dragons, and they wouldn't have to risk being annihilated by the army to leave their homeland." Jude touched his chin and said.

"Maybe something else happened in the swamp that caused some serious problem with the lizardmen's food or water source that forced them to leave, and then they made up a lie about the dragon."

The words of the new director, Yago, also speak to the hearts of many people.

This explanation is more reassuring than believing that there is suddenly an extra terrifying monster in the territory where you live.

And Li Yu didn't deny it, but nodded and said, "Your suspicions are also reasonable, so let's choose a few people you can trust, and I will let those lizardmen take them into the swamp to find the dragon." ”
