Gold is Justice

"This is not to say that the death rate of our heroes will be high, but because the age at which we can best display the strength of a hero is about fifteen to thirty years old. After this age, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It has fallen, so it is necessary to step down from the position of the brave and hand it over to the next brave."

"For this purpose, in the last ten or twenty years, we need to choose a new hero. But, as you have seen on our island, the place is small and there are not many people. Everyone works hard every day even if they have nothing to do. It is impossible to have so many children."

"In addition, some people feel that they have missed the age of being a brave man in this life, so they are unwilling to live on the island forever. At this time, these people will voluntarily accept the oblivion magic, forget everything about the island, and then Then they are sent out of the island, and live another life relying on the fighting skills learned on the island. So, the population of our island has always been small."

The child really didn't have any topic to speak about. Ariel waited patiently for a while, but found that he was getting more and more biased, and quickly changed the topic back: "So it turns out that the brave will retire when he is about 30 years old. The previous brave Lin Ke won the title of brave almost ten years ago, and logically speaking, there should be about ten years left. Therefore, your island went to the mainland to collect a group of children and brought them back for training. And you and Ke Lauder, one of these children?"

Arthur nodded, and said with a nonchalant attitude: "It is said that the collected ones are all orphans, but God knows how many children were snatched back by those adults? And maybe some of the children were killed by their parents. After dropping it, I snatch it back. Hmph, pretend in front of me."

Ariel was startled silently in her heart, but after thinking about it, she still said, "Are you willing to believe that Link is like this?" Little Arthur was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Big Brother will never allow such a thing to happen. Besides, I should be brought back by Big Brother. So, I'm really just a simple orphan without father and mother..."

Having said that, little Arthur's voice softened slightly, as if he had thought of something sad.

But after a moment, he took a deep breath, raised his head and said——

"Compared with me, that guy Claude is also an orphan, but according to what my elder brother said, his luck is much better. My elder brother said that among the orphans who came to the island with me, only Claude's original The family should be regarded as the best. But then encountered some disasters, the family fell into poverty, and he became an orphan when he was very young, so he followed his elder brother to the island. The elder brother never told me about the specific disaster. Maybe with that guy? I don't know."

Ariel nodded and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you seem to regard Claude as an opponent."

Little Arthur rolled his eyes immediately: "Adversary? Ha! He? Is he an opponent? Are you kidding me, do I need to regard him as an opponent? That guy is so well-behaved all day, a grown-up said A guy who treats everything as an order that must be done is not interesting at all, how can such a person be regarded as an opponent by me?"

Ariel smiled and said, "Oh? From what you said, he seems to be a serious and good boy?"

Arthur spread his hands, winked and said, "I don't know if he's serious or not, but he's really strong enough. Let me state in advance that I haven't fought him head-on, but among other people of my age, He is indeed the strongest one. And even some fourteen or fifteen-year-old children may not be able to beat him. He even received the blessing of the wind god, so at a young age, he got the rhythm song His Fengshen Sword, if there is no problem, it should be his Brave Sword."

Ariel thought about it for a while, and then said: "Oh, Rhythm Caige...it's quite similar to the name of the Sword of the Brave. I remember what it's called...Ling Lai Qingge, right? That sword."

Little Arthur, who seemed very stubborn just now, suddenly opened his eyes wide!He stared straight at Ariel, as if he was about to jump up and pounce on her.

And then, the little guy really bounced off the ground and said loudly: "How do you know the name of the sword of the brave of the elder brother? Even if you know that the elder brother is a brave man, it is impossible to know the name of the sword of the elder brother! "

Ariel seemed to have talked about the child's reaction a long time ago, the smile on her face gradually narrowed, and she said slowly: "Because, it was said by the devil himself. And that sword...Unfortunately, the last thing I saw , is the scene where the sword was broken by the power of the devil, and then the brave Link stabbed the heart of the devil with only half of the Ling Lai Qingge left. Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened after that. I’m really too weak At that time, I was weak and had no choice but to escape. After that, I was sure that the brave man had not been able to kill the Demon King, and the Demon King's army had already rampaged across the continent."

This is the first time that this news has been made public on this island, and it is also the first time that little Arthur has known the real situation of Link.

The child opened his mouth now, and couldn't make a sound for a long time.After a long time, he sat back on the ground with a little powerlessness, took out his wooden sword that had been touched for a long time, and even the surface was already shiny, and said, "I knew...Brother, he will definitely fight to the end." Last."

After a while, the child raised his head and looked at Ariel.At this moment, the little boy's eyes no longer have that stubborn color, but a little more urgency and sincerity: "You want to know a lot of things, right? Now you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything." You. Having said that, I still don’t believe that brother will die like this, but I also know that you are definitely not as simple as an ordinary businessman who came to the island to do business. If my answer can help brother, then you can ask Bar."

After such a long time, Ariel finally gained the child's trust.This made Ariel heave a sigh of relief, and then squatted down in front of him, saying——

"Igo, Igotari Terry Ainason, have you heard of this name?"

Little Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I've never heard of it, but this name feels strange, doesn't it? It doesn't seem like an ordinary human's name."

Ariel nodded: "This is the name of an elf."

Arthur was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a while. After a while, he got up and said, "Wait for me."

Then he ran out of the crowd with a twist and turns.

Ariel was not worried about this guy skipping class, as expected, after about 10 minutes, this little Arthur ran back again.At the same time, he was holding an ancient book that looked a bit old in his hand.

"If this name is the name of an elf, then this set of language cannot be understood in the way we understand it. Instead, it should be in elvish language. Let me read the elvish language... ah, there it is!"

Little Arthur opened the thick book that looked like a dictionary, and finally found a word in the thick alphabet vocabulary, and handed it to Ariel——

"Sure enough, this is the Elvish language, which means fairness and equality."

Chapter 550 Arithmetic can be learned Compared to knowing the meaning of this name, Ariel is more interested in why there are books in Elven language on this small island.At the moment, she tentatively asked: "Books in Elven language...Little guy, I didn't expect you to know Elven language?"

Little Arthur gave Ariel a blank look, and then put on an expression of not knowingly asking, closed the book in his hand, and said, "Are you asking knowingly? Since you have seen my elder brother attack the devil with your own eyes, you shouldn't Don't you know that the Demon Lord is an elf?"

Now, Ariel knew that she should be able to learn more about this.

Therefore, Ariel shook the paper she used to assign the subject, and said, "Okay, since the time is almost up, let's continue with the class. Anyway, there is nothing to talk about about the devil king." .”

As soon as he heard that Ariel was going to continue the class, little Arthur became anxious. He threw the books in his hand on the ground, raised his hands and said, "Who said there is nothing to talk about? You people on the mainland know a lot about the devil king." Is it? Let me tell you, our island of Help exists solely to prevent the resurrection of the devil! So I know a lot of news about the devil! Don’t you want to hear it?”

Ariel smiled and said: "Is that so... then... okay! Since you know that the devil is an elf, do you know the past of this elf? What kind of elf is he? Why did he become the devil? ?”

Seeing that Ariel really stopped teaching, Little Arthur also breathed a sigh of relief.Then, as if he had finally obtained some precious toy, the child began to speak out all the things he knew——

"I don't know why the devil became the devil. However, the race of elves is a very mysterious race. They have a stronger magical affinity than all life in this world, and they also have almost the longest life span." Lifespan. From the outside, the difference between him and us humans may not be that big, but in the eyes of the elves, the gap between us humans and reptiles on the ground may not be comparable to the gap between them and us .”

For this, Ariel agrees.If there wasn't such a big gap, this elf probably wouldn't be able to become a Demon Lord.

"After the war of the original guardians, it is said that the elves were the first to be formed from the power they burst out. It can be said that the elves are the eldest sons of the original guardians. From this point of view, they are indeed the most qualified The one who became the guardian of the earth. And... oh, by the way, I don't think I have told you about the war of the guardians and the guardian of the earth... eh? All right? Can I go on? Okay, Then I will continue."

"However, the elves seem to be very cautious. Their lives have always been high above them, and they have no interaction with ordinary humans like us. Therefore, even after thousands of years have passed, human beings have always lacked records of elves."

"But, for some reason, one day the elves were suddenly destroyed."

Little Arthur tried his best to show a very serious expression, while baring his teeth and claws, and jumping up and down——

"Such a great and powerful elf clan was destroyed in a short period of time!"

"We humans don't know how the elves were destroyed. We humans don't know. The only thing we know is that some elves who escaped by chance began to come to the human world and ask for help from the human country. "

"In the beginning, the human kingdom was very curious about these races that have almost always lived in myths and legends, and did not take the 'disaster' they called seriously. They even imprisoned some elves."

"Although the power of the elves is strong, they are still suppressed by humans after all in the case of a small number of people. But soon, humans understood what the so-called 'disaster' in the elves' mouths meant. That may directly lead to The elf who destroyed the entire elf family began to officially command the army of monsters to declare war on the human race. His power is so tyrannical, that people are devastated wherever he passes, and he brutally killed every innocent person."

"It was also at this time that human beings finally understood what they were facing. Therefore, everyone on the entire Golden Continent united and started a head-to-head battle against this guy who has been called the 'devil king'. "

"The battle lasted for more than 50 years. Many people died in it. There are too many stories of heroic feats to tell. Finally, human beings finally went all out to carry out the sealing formation, and our first The hero of the era also stood out at this time, and brought his contract monster, that is, the ugly monster in the lake to challenge the devil head-on, and finally successfully sealed it!"

Although Arthur spoke happily, for Ariel, she knew many plots in it.She wanted to know something she didn't know before, and then asked: "After the demon king was sealed by you, did he still come to your Help Island? Have you seen your brave man?" Regarding Ariel's question, Little Arthur gave a blank stare and said, "Come to our island? The devil king who has lost his strength came to our island to meet our first generation hero? Are you kidding me? How is this possible? We are deadly enemies with the devil king. How daring is that guy to come to us after being sealed with all his power? It’s impossible, no matter how you think about it, right?”

Although this is indeed unlikely... But Ariel still recalled what Egg had said before.

At that time, he said that he was a bard among the elves, and was in charge of the logistics of the Demon King's sealing battle.After the demon king was sealed, he came to the island of the brave to meet the brave because of his longing, and he also knew the way of power inheritance in the island of the brave.

Now that it has been confirmed that that guy is the devil himself, it is obvious that his words are full of lies.

But if it was a lie, why did he know that the island of the brave would pass on the title and power of the brave from generation to generation?But if he didn't lie, if he really came to Help Island after being sealed, then why didn't the first generation of heroes kill him?Didn't even leave the name of this demon king?

Now, after seeing the worried color on Ariel's expression, little Arthur rolled his eyes slightly, and then he thought of something, he turned his head and asked the soldier next to him, "Is this Egg... Isn't it the name of the Demon King?"

After getting an affirmative answer from the person next to him, Little Arthur couldn't help being startled. He opened the elvish book in his hand again, and looked at the name on it——

Igotari Terry Allison.

Is this name, which means the belief of fairness and justice in the Elvish language, the real name of the demon king?

Now, Ariel can only smile wryly, but she has no way of guessing.She exhaled slowly, and said, "That demon king is a liar by nature. In order to gain my trust, of course there will be no psychological pressure to deceive human beings."

Afterwards, Ariel continued: "Little Arthur, since we sealed the devil a thousand years ago, we can still do it a thousand years later. After all, I have a specific method to seal the devil here!"

As she said that, Ariel revealed the whole poisonous blood sealing technique to the child in a half-joking manner, to see his reaction.

Sure enough, little Arthur was not surprised by this sealing circle. In his words, the method and history of sealing the devil is a compulsory course in the morning class every Monday. There is no need for Ariel to talk about this kind of thing, he can do it backwards Can recite the execution method.

But when Ariel asked if there was any more affordable sealing technique, the child could only shake her head, expressing that there was only such a method.

"Huh... well. It took human beings 50 years to seal the devil king before. I don't know if it can be faster this time... By the way, do you know why humans deliberately forget about the devil king?"

Hearing Ariel's question, little Arthur was surprised.After hearing Ariel say that almost no one in the mainland knows the situation of the Demon King's Sealing War, this little child is even more inconceivable!

"You deliberately forgot everything about the devil? You even forgot how to seal the devil's formation? You... how could you do this? Are all your brains broken?!"

No matter how unreliable your child is, he obviously has a strong belief that all the residents of this island have when it comes to sealing the devil——

"It's fine if you don't maintain it, but you still forget it on purpose? You ask me why, and I still want to ask you why! No, you need to ask those elders about this matter. They must know why you humans want to forget these things. !"

Now, Ariel understands that she probably won't get any answers.Anyway, little Arthur was too young, and the things he could come into contact with about the devil should be the most obvious truths on the entire island.It is better to wait until tomorrow to discuss this matter with the five elders.

Since there is no answer, Ariel has nothing to say.

She patted the notes in her hand, stood up and said, "Okay! We have chatted for a long time, and now we still have some time, let's continue to review what we have just learned! Come on everyone, the class begins !"

Hearing Ariel's shout, little Arthur, who seemed to be very emotional just now, immediately became depressed.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't refuse. Now that everyone was in class, he didn't have the right to run away.As a result, the child was coerced and continued to take the arithmetic class that gave him such a headache.

As for the fact that he said to "Link" during the day that he would definitely work hard to learn arithmetic... I don't know if he has any regrets in his heart now?

----

The next day, just after dawn, the whole of Help Island became noisy again.

Not for anything else, just because a new brave will be born today, which means that the fire of mankind will be ignited again.

After breakfast, Ariel watched the other islanders swarming towards the lake of Luoxingyan again.

As for Little Arthur, because the kid was directly defeated yesterday, he didn't have the mood to see the title of brave at all.

Now, he is stuffing the paste into his mouth with one hand, and holding yesterday's arithmetic problem with the other, frowning and looking at it in great pain.

Seeing that the islanders had almost left, Ariel asked, "Aren't you going?"

Little Arthur snorted, raised the arithmetic problem in his hand, and said, "I already know it. Actually, it's not that difficult after you really know it."

Ariel put her hands on her hips: "I mean, don't you want to watch the birth of the new hero?"

Little Arthur snorted again: "What's so interesting, that guy Claude has always been so good, and it's probably just a large group of people cheering around him later. I don't know him that well, so I don't want to give it to him. He cheers."

Ariel knew that the child was making trouble.But this kind of thing can't be forced. After all, if it's me, after seeing the person I hate get what I've been working hard for, I probably won't be in a good mood to see it.

But just when Ariel rubbed her hands, planning to go to Luoxingyan first, and then find an opportunity to discuss with the five elders, suddenly, a person came from the foot of the village in the distance. ran over.

Today's weather is fine, so Ariel quickly saw the appearance of that person.That's strudel macaroons.

However, judging from Suta's current actions and attire, she doesn't seem to be anxious to find her own child, but more like... in some kind of combat readiness?

At that moment, Ariel immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to meet Suta.

It didn't take long before Suta ran up to Ariel panting.Now she has put on that set of paladin heavy armor, and even the helmet is now in her arms. If it wasn't for meeting Ariel, she might have put it on again.

"what happened?"

Ariel asked solemnly.

Suta took a deep breath, and didn't even care about little Arthur next to him, and said, "There are people coming from outside the island. We can vaguely hear gunshots coming from outside. That sound is not the sound of a battle. It was the sound of elemental gun salvo."

Hearing this news, Ariel froze again.

You know, among all the mermaid troops, she is the only one going to Help Island.And now it's only been three days since she landed on the island, even if there are follow-up troops coming to find her, it shouldn't be so urgent.After all, there is still a communication unit on the coast.

But now, there is such a troop of unknown origin directly heading here to break the barrier with a salvo?No matter how you think about it, something is wrong.

Ariel's expression was very dignified, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The fleet should be commanded by Jelly now, how does he judge?"
