Chapter 257: The Dragon and the Youth
As if to see Lamech's doubts, Isaac continued.
"There's no special reason for me to say that, it's just that vitality can also make people more energetic or delay aging and rejuvenate the body, so I'm wondering if the three young ladies will need ......"
This sentence made Lamech's heart flutter, although she was still very young, but who would think that she was younger?
However, it seems that Lamech is the only one who thinks so.
"Are you stupid?"
Because of her contempt, Lucia's cute face had turned into a dull expression.
"Do you think I need to be younger? Instead of that stupidity, introduce me to a potion that will turn me into a mature big sister. ”
Unexpectedly disgusted and embarrassed, cold sweat oozed from the corners of Aizak's forehead.
"Well, that's a bit difficult......"
And Bagh was still the same indifferent as if his tone was the same.
"Not interested. ”
Just one sentence already strongly reveals her disdain.
-- These two guys! Lamech almost wanted to beat people, and he said he didn't need to, so why did he say superfluous things? So much so that Lamech couldn't honestly say things like 'I really want them,' because if he did, he would always feel like he was the only one who was very vulgar.
Let's talk to Isaac alone.
Thinking so, Lamech said no more.
Continuing to push open the door, Isaac stepped back to the door and made a 'please' gesture.
"Welcome to the "Temple of Mourning" in Macentonia, a memorial built to commemorate the heroes who made outstanding contributions to the battle against demons and to record what happened. ”
The mourning hall is very empty, the whole is built of fine white stone, and there are more than one stone pillar erected in the middle, whether it is the white wall or the erected stone pillar, all of which depict vivid murals in vivid colors.
"On the stone pillars are heroic deeds, and on the walls are historical records. ”
That's what Isaac said.
Fingers carefully brushed over one large and lifelike mural after another, and Lamai felt like he was walking in a museum.
"Is that what you're here for?"
To Lamech's question, Isaac only smiled slightly, and did not give a clear answer.
"Oh oh~. ”
Lucia didn't know what she was seeing, and let out a cry of admiration.
Lamech leaned his head over and looked with Lucia at one of the pillars that recorded heroic deeds.
The pillar depicts a red dragon falling from the sky, and a simple human figure in white clothes and black trousers, and because the mural is so simple and there is no corresponding explanation, Lamech can barely understand the content of 'a dragon falling from the sky talking to a human man'.
But just because Lamech can't read it doesn't mean that everyone can't read it.
A confident smile appeared on Lucia's lips, as if all problems would be solved in front of her, and she said with such a confident smile.
"Isaac, let's translate. ”
Well, Lamech never expected Lucia from the beginning, and she, like Lucia, was waiting for Isaac to explain.
"This ......"
Isaac looked at the mural, the light in his eyes glinting faintly.
"This is a well-known story, about a nameless shepherd boy who asks for the help of a dragon. ”
Here's the story that Izak told......
When the battle with the demon was somewhat eased, the shepherd youth, who had gone out to graze for a stable food supply, happened to see the red dragon falling from the sky, and out of curiosity and tears of worry, the young man rushed to the lake where the red dragon fell, where he saw the scarred red dragon.
The red dragon was very unfriendly and wanted to kill the young man who approached rashly, and at the last moment, the young man had an idea and said to the red dragon.
"Great dragon, I have heard that you know everything, so please answer a puzzle that has plagued me all my life before you kill me, and I will die without regret. ”
Hearing the young man's praise, the red dragon was overjoyed, and she accepted the young man's plea.
The problem with youth is this.
"Every day when I look up at the starry sky, I try to count how many stars there are in the sky, but it always dawns before I finish counting, so I haven't been able to get an answer, but you are different from you, great dragon, you must be able to tell me how many stars there are in the sky, right?"
The red dragon couldn't answer, so she decided to spare the young man's life.
The nameless young man tasted the sweetness, and even after he returned home, he would go to the lake where the red dragon was recuperating at noon every day and ask the red dragon some questions.
And in the end, the young man said to the red dragon.
"Great dragon, I want to challenge you with wisdom, and if I win, please grant me a request. ”
The red dragon agreed, and then ......
Defeated.
For the young man's unanswerable questions, the red dragon had no way to answer them.
After the victory, the youth's request to the Red Dragon was simple.
"Please guard us, guard this city until the day I say 'end' to you. ”
The red dragon then fulfilled his oath as promised, and the nameless shepherd became a hero.
Like a story in a fairy tale, even if it is just a brain teaser, Kolamer still admires the courage and ingenuity of the shepherd youth, and perhaps it is the act of the youth that can save many innocent people.
"What happened to the young man?"
Lamech was curious, if it was in a fairy tale, the youth must have lived happily, but this is the reality.
"Since he is a hero, he must be admired and sought after, right?"
Isaac snorted sarcastically.
"Everyone thinks of the shepherd as a hero, but in my opinion he is nothing more than a vile little man who uses dirty oaths to bind himself and others. ”
The sharp comments that came out of Aizak's mouth made Lamech frown, but it was just a story after all, and Lamech didn't say anything more.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Lucia shrugged.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a hero or a despicable villain, human beings are human beings after all, and no amount of titles can erase the 'self' in human nature. ”
As long as there is an ego, then heroes and despicable villains will act for what they want to do.
"There's no comparison to this kind of thing, let's go look at other stories. ”
Sometimes Lamech envies Lucia's open-mindedness, which of course translates to 'heartless'.
This time, Lucia walked over to the mural on the wall.
It was painted with a peaceful city, which looked like Macentonia before the war. (To be continued.) )
