After telling this prophecy, Madnes looked at Gaia.

From the look in her eyes, Gaia knew that she also wanted to let herself tell a story, and Gaia didn't want to deal with her, but the King of Discipline suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Gaia, I don't know how you feel after listening to the devil's deal?" ”

Well, it seems that the King of Discipline really doesn't want Madnes to speak, and is talking to himself.

Helplessly spreading his hand, Gaia couldn't help but laugh: "Since this is the case, then I will also tell a story, as a reply to you, the story is like this-

The king told the brave to slay the dragon.

It is said that the dragon will soon be resurrected, and once resurrected, it will plunge the entire kingdom into flames.

After receiving the sword, the brave man went out to fight the monster. He passed through a village, where the people heard that he was a brave man and welcomed him. The brave man thought they were haunted by monsters, but the villagers told him that it was the tax collector who was bothering them. In recent years, rivers have dried up and grain production has decreased, but tax collectors continue to collect taxes.

The tax collector is an uncle. He had a beard and came here every month to collect taxes. He never showed a trace of affection, and no matter how the villagers pleaded, he would take the food away.

When the brave man heard this, he was furious, and when he came, he taught him a lesson without saying a word. The villagers praised him as a great hero, and the brave man was delighted.

The brave man met his traveling companion on the way to fight monsters.

The traveling companion was a girl with silver hair, who sat on the side of the road and played the flute. The sound of her flute was very moving, and it touched the heart of the brave, so he followed her away.

It took a long time for the girl to notice him. It turned out that the girl was blind, and she said that she had been traveling the world since the past, and so would she would be in the future. She wanted to listen to more distant songs and blow the wind in the distance. The brave man said that he could take her to fight monsters together, and she happily agreed.

This time, she followed him.

The brave and his traveling companions met the generous merchant on their way.

The merchant rode a tall horse, with a luxurious convoy behind him. He heard the story of the brave man and picked out the best equipment from the goods he carried and gave it to him. The brave man was grateful and promised him a favor in the future. The merchant waved his hand, smiled kindly, and asked his traveling companion what he needed.

The blind girl wanted a hairpin, so the brave man chose a hairpin made of white coral and gave it to her.

"Is it pretty?" She fumbled with the hairpin and asked with a smile.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking." The brave man stared at her, her white hair waist-length, like a curtain of snow.

"I hope I'll be able to see it later." She said.

"Definitely." The brave man said, "There must be a way to restore sight in this world." ”

The level of the brave increases, and the combat becomes more and more proficient. One day, he saw an acquaintance approaching. It was the pesky tax collector with a straight face and a sword in his arms.

"How about you." The brave drew his sword. "Didn't I teach you enough before?"

"I brought you the holy sword on the orders of the king, Lord Brave." The tax collector handed over the holy sword. "This sword is worth a fortune, and now the king has heard of your deeds and has decided to entrust it to you."

"No, you don't." The brave man waved his hand. "Give it back to him, I don't need this now."

"Then I'll wait for you here." Said the tax officer. "Ahead is the forbidden land sealed with dragons, I wish you success."

While they were encamping, the brave man and his traveling companion brought the tax collector.

"He was so bad that when he saw that the villagers were dying of hunger, he didn't help, but collected taxes as usual."

"I've heard that some villagers in other places are really starving to death." The traveling companion said, her blank eyes fixed on the flames. "The man was notoriously incorruptible, and he carried wagons full of grain every day, but he was often hungry. I've been to villages and towns where there has been a famine, but they are grateful to the tax collectors. ”

The brave man was a little silent.

"So did I have the wrong attitude towards him before?"

"That's right, in exchange for some food, he made deals with merchants, acquiescing in allowing them to kidnap some people from villages and towns as slaves."

"Slaves? That merchant is a slave trader? ”

"I thought you could hear the wails of the slaves in his carriage."

The brave man fidgeted, he looked at the sword in his hand, and the armor on his body. When he was fighting monsters and leveling up, he was in danger countless times, and it was this equipment that saved him. He had also thanked the generous merchant in his heart countless times.

Who knew that he turned out to be an evil slave trader.

The base of the slave traders is not far away. They live in restricted areas and are said to have made deals with sleeping dragons. They prepare for the resurrection of the dragon, who gives them strength and also guarantees their safety after the apocalypse.

As the brave approached the center of the forbidden place, he found that it had become a large market town. I don't know when, people have been building buildings and repairing houses next to Longyuan, and they are thriving. These people were originally criminals exiled by the king, but over the years, they have married and had children, and lived in peace and contentment.

The slave trader's men found the Brave Man, and his smile was still kind, but the Brave Man seemed to be hypocritical. The brave man raised his sword and aimed it at him, but he looked at the blade in front of him with affection and sighed. Exquisitely maintained, there has not been a single scratch over the years.

"What else do you have to say?" The brave man was enraged by his attitude and was ready to cut off his head at any moment. On the way there, he did see many weak people locked in cages.

"I'm just like you, to save more people." The slave trader looked up, his eyes clear and unafraid. "It's just that you took the easy road, and I took the difficult road."

"Those people outside, if they don't follow me, they will starve to death in their original villages." The slave trader pointed to the cage outside the tent. "I fed them, clothed them, and made them work. If you have done enough, you can redeem yourself. But I didn't save them. ”

"I want to save the dragon, the dragon has power and knowledge." He said. "Dragons can conjure food, they can conjure gold and silver. It requires only the sacrifice of a part of the people. We bless it by offering those who are about to pass away. ”

"Maybe you haven't experienced the famine and don't know the horrors of famine. At the last moment, people gave up their minds and ate each other, and I escaped in that nightmare, wishing that there would be no more hunger in this world. The dragon answered my wish by giving me food, but only I was needed, and sacrificed to a very small number of people. ”

"Hasn't the world always been like this? The few are sacrificed to the many. We, the poor, who have committed sins, have been sent here, and we have been sacrificed to justice and justice. But I found a new salvation that could save many, many people with very little sacrifice......"

Before the slave trader had finished speaking, the brave man turned and ran away, feeling that these things were a mess and distraught him.

The brave and his traveling companion sat on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the lights of the Forbidden City. There was a lot of people and smiles, not at all like the terrifying forbidden area in the kingdom rumors.

The brave are still lost in the fog of justice. The sad countenance of the slaves, the resoluteness of the tax collector in enforcing the law, the righteous and awe-inspiring eyes of the slave trader with a meaty face, and the prosperous city in front of him. Each one seems to be entitled to vindicate himself, and every one is like a sinner.

If the king is rewarded, then the king will definitely send cavalry to kill all the people in this city. The kingdom had to increase its tax burden and make it difficult for more peasants to make ends meet. If left unchecked, they will come out of the nest, kidnap more people as slaves, and resurrect dragons with sacrifices.

At the moment, he was resting on her knees. The traveling companion silently stroked his hair, the only solace in his distraction. Just like her, she is the only companion on this journey.

The meaning of the dragon-slaying journey is becoming more and more blurred. He wants to save the world, but he finds that no matter what, there will always be some people who will be hurt, and there will always be people who will cry. He wanted to escape from this mission and find a place with her to live in seclusion. When you have time, let's go around the world together......

"Let's go." The brave man opened his eyes. "Let's find a small village, live together, and no longer care about dragons and kingdoms, just live a casual life, okay?"

"Okay." She said. "You'd think that when the time comes, we'll hold hands, visit the whole world again, and then grow old together and let this world come to an end, right?"

"Yes, but how do you know......" The brave was a little confused by her response.

Her eyes were no longer blind, and suddenly sparkled. She looked at the brave man in her arms and said:

"Because, I am the dragon."

The dragon was sealed in this land two hundred years ago. Legend has it that dragons have huge claws, huge wings, and breathing fire, and once resurrected, they will burn everything in this world.

These rumors are true, and the dragon was true before it was sealed. But two hundred years ago, the saint sealed the dragon in her body and jumped into the abyss. After a hundred years, she regained some strength and climbed out of the abyss. The sinners around her made vows to her, and she agreed, and in order to continue to gain her power, they began to sacrifice to her. Gradually, her limbs, mouth and ears returned to normal, but her eyes could not be seen.

This is also her last seal, and when the seal of her eyes is lifted, she will be truly resurrected. After resurrection, she will gradually transform back into a dragon, and finally into a scorching sun, which is why the dragon has been sealed.

But in the days before she was fully resurrected, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she could leave here and roam the world. She was the same as she was, and when she was not sealed, she traveled around wrapped in flames, but she was regarded as a scourge by the kingdom and sealed it desperately. Now, she can travel the world.

Then she met the Brave.

"You made a wish to see the hairpin that was given to you and see how good you looked, and now you can see it." The brave walked with her through the streets, towards the abyss in the center of the town. There was her original body, which could be resurrected if she touched it.

"Will you regret it?" The dragon asked. "I've been with your old enemy for so long, and I want to be with her for the rest of my life."

"No regrets." The brave looked at her. The power of her resurrection left a trace, and she gradually grew scales. He caressed her unfamiliar hands. "Did you really promise me?"

"I promised." Long said. "If you want, I can still stay with you for the rest of your life, and come here to resurrect when you are old."

The brave hesitated.

Before this, all the choices were just the struggles of passers-by, and at this moment, the problem really fell on him. Do you give up everything and live happily with the people you love, and then wait for the flood after death, or cut off the front edge and sacrifice what you love for the future of all people on this earth?

He didn't know the answer. He only knew that before, he thought that the world could be divided into many parts, and that the parts competed with each other, but now he realized that there are only two parts of this world: those that belong to me and those that do not belong to me.

The brave man clenched his sword.

The holy sword was sent by the tax collector who was covered in bruises yesterday. The slave trader decided to cut off the water and exacerbate the drought so that more people could join him, and the tax collector tried to stop him, but was beaten by his men. In the end, knowing that his life was short, he took back the holy sword and sent it to the brave.

"There's another secret ......," said the tax officer, dragging his voice. Once the dragon is resurrected, it will overturn the entire Forbidden City. Its promises are only for its own ......"

He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and then said in a moaning tone:

"This is the holy sword that countless farmers have worked so hard to forge. And only with the holy sword can the dragon be truly killed. ”

The tax collector said no more and fell to the ground. And the eavesdroppers outside the door have quietly left.

The brave clenched his sword, and he looked at her hesitantly.

Behind her, the shadow of the abyss reflects countless images, revealing possible futures. In some scenes, they are married, in some pictures they fight each other to the death, in some pictures the brave man helps the dragon to burn the ground, and in some pictures the brave man leaves alone, leaving the second sun in the sky and scorching the earth. In those pictures of the future, most of the people of the kingdom are destined to suffer.

Suddenly, a horn sounded. Behind the brave man suddenly appeared many people. The slave trader stands out in the crowd, and he learns from his men that the resurrection of the dragon will destroy the city, and he wants to stop it from happening.

But it was already too late. The brave hugged her, then watched her jump into the abyss. After a while, the earth shook, and a white dragon poked its head out of the abyss.

The crowd scattered, and the dragon's head came closer. The brave man stroked her scales, she was no longer blind, and the white dragon's blood-red eyes were huge, and they were watching him silently, as if to say goodbye.

The sword, submerged into the dragon's body.

Blood flowed, the dragon didn't roar, she didn't struggle, she just lay down quietly. At this moment she already knew that the dragon could read the trajectory of the future, and she knew her fate from the beginning.

It's just that even she once had unrealistic fantasies.

"I killed the dragon and came back. The sinners of the forbidden land were executed by the cavalry, and everything seemed to be over, but many were still suffering. ”

"At least not everyone is suffering." The brave knelt before the king's throne. "At least, at least I sacrificed everything to save the kingdom from doom. That's all I did. He recounted his experience to the king.

"Got it." The king, with a blank face, waved his hand to signal the executioner to swing the butcher's knife. The brave man killed the dragon, but the dragon's favor was cut off. Without the food conjured by the dragons, many places fell into famine again. The people in the forbidden land spread the word that it was all because of the brave man, who did not seal the dragon as required, but killed the dragon.

As a result, public resentment boiled, and people strongly demanded that the brave be executed. Only in this way, they say, can the dragon's wrath be appeased.

"You saved the world, but I can't save you."

The king clung to the corpse of his only son in his arms and wept. ”
