The demon king who is favored by the brave is weak and pitiful and helpless

Although the location of the village is remote, as the only entertainment for the villagers in this era, there is still a place in the village that can barely be called a tavern.

The knight followed the brave man into the tavern. The layout of the room made the knight, who was used to the prosperity of the capital, subconsciously frowned.But seeing that his former immediate boss didn't say anything, he also held back the words that were about to hit his throat.

The owner of the tavern asked for a few bottles of wine, and the knight raised his neck and took a sip of the wine with the wine glass first.Different from the mellow wine that I am used to drinking in the past, the cheap wine in the glass burns the throat more and makes people more likely to get drunk.

At the beginning, he was still a little rational, remembering to hold back some inconvenient words to say in front of the other party, and only told Vorell some interesting things that happened in the Knights after the other party left.But later, with the passage of time, he drank more and more alcohol, and he didn't have much reason to think about whether what he said was appropriate.

"Chief Knight, I really don't understand why you suddenly said you were going to resign." The knight's face was flushed red from the alcohol, "It's different from other people who went to Nidal to slay dragons at that time, you come back Not even a little bit hurt."

"Those two evil dragons are really so scary?! Can you become like this... Or, is this all self-blame because of the failure to slay the dragon?! This is completely unnecessary, so many people Charged there, how many people swore, but no one really succeeded... On the contrary, you are the only one who came back to the capital from Nidal with all the beard and tail."

"Chief Knight, go back to the capital with me. You don't know how hypocritical the guy who replaced you is. I am unlucky to come here to work this time, and it is all because of his secret stumbling block... With your strength, as long as you go back, you will definitely be able to return to that position again..."

The knight rambled about letting the knight who was respected by his strength grow back to the capital.At the beginning, the pronunciation was still clear, but at the end, the tongue paralyzed by alcohol was not very flexible.The sticky sentences are stacked together, and no one else can understand the meaning of the words except himself.

Worrell also let him speak alone, and didn't stop...or he didn't care.

In the past, Worrell, who strictly restrained himself and demanded his subordinates according to the rules and regulations of knights, was naturally not used to such a situation, but now, he is used to it.

...After all, when a nobleman does not have the character that a nobleman should have, it is indeed normal for a knight to violate the oath he once made.

As for the horror of dragons... Worrell looked down at the cloudy liquid in the wine glass and smiled silently.

——On the contrary, it was the frightening dragon in the legend that made him see clearly the real chaos in this world.

……

A few years ago, the knight captain who served in the Knights of the Royal Capital at a young age was still young and energetic. After hearing the news of the raging dragon and the suggestion of "dispatching the army" was rejected, he took the nobleman's "recovery mission" by the way. "Treasure" and rode to Nidal by himself.

The howling sound of the dragon echoed in the forest, and all creatures were intimidated by the dragon's might, even his horse, who had followed him through countless battles, trembled and trembled.

However, this was not enough to make the knight commander, who was almost conceited about his own strength, turn around.He still marched into the dense forest, confident that his right hand resting on the hilt of the sword could quickly draw out the sword in case of danger to deal with everything.

——Until a ball of water almost bigger than his head hit him, the salty taste made him subconsciously stunned.

The close contact with the smell of the dragon made the white war horse kneel down immediately. Fortunately, the knight commander jumped off the horse and rolled around on the ground, then stood up straight with his hands.

The sharp blade that had been pulled out shone coldly, and the knight commander looked around vigilantly, until he saw the water balls that kept falling from the sky, and then he reacted and looked up.

On the top of the mountain, on a rock protruding from the mountainside, a red dragon that looked familiar stood there, with tears in its eyes full of sadness.

A whimpering sound diluted by the wind flowed out of its mouth, and even though it tried to wipe it with its two front paws, its tears still fell on the ground in large numbers.

The knight commander had seen this dragon before, and this was their second meeting.

Before that, after hearing that a giant red dragon appeared in the castle on the mountain, he went up the mountain to "visit" him.

Perhaps the red dragon in front of him was crying so pitifully that after seeing the other party appearing here, the little anger in his heart was completely melted by the tears before he could burst out.The knight commander helplessly wiped his face that was wet with the dragon's tears, put away his sword and twisted the corner of his clothes that was also soaked in tears, and looked up at the red giant who was crying uncontrollably and completely unresponsive to someone approaching. The dragon shouted loudly: "The dragon with red scales... yes, that's right, it's you, don't cry, I'm asking you something."

"Why are you here?! Didn't you always live on the mountain near Taya Town? Why did you suddenly appear here?" Before this, when he went up the mountain to ask the dragon queen who looked very honest, he also remembered her I promised him that I would not go down the mountain.

Here, the red dragon, who is used to being attacked by the brave, and who is used to keeping an eye out even when he is sleeping, is the first reaction to look at his feet.

The dragon, who was still crying just now, endured the cry and tried hard to be strong. While wiping tears with its two front paws, it carefully searched for nearby brave men who might sneak attack.It wasn't until the tail was cocked and turned around twice in the same place that the dragon found the source of the sound from the knight commander's reminder.

Perhaps it was because this was the first time in the past few days that the giant red dragon met a brave man who did not call him "evil dragon", or it could be that the other party's attitude towards his dragon was rare, and it was rare for the brave man in front of him. I had some hope.

Hearing the other party's question, it didn't answer, but asked directly: "What about you, why are you here again?"

"There are no towns nearby, and the Nidal Mountains are full of dangers recently. If you came here just thinking of taking a shortcut, I think it would be more worthwhile to just take a little more time to make a detour."

"Me? Of course I came here to kill those two evil dragons." The knight commander didn't think that the honest red dragon in front of him would have anything to do with the legendary evil dragon.Even if the dragon in front of him has the same colored scales as someone in the story, it must be just a coincidence, just like the prisoner in the prison may have the same hair color as him.

"Why are you crying here? It's not because you are too weak to fight, so you were beaten to tears by those two dragons." The knight commander elongated his tone of voice, and the rising end of his voice showed his confidence in his own strength. With absolute confidence, "Don't worry, when I meet them, I must remember to make them kneel down and apologize to you sincerely before being killed."

The red dragon stared at him stupidly for two seconds, and then burst into tears again.

To be honest, for a dragon face of a different race from his own, it is also difficult for the knight commander to understand the other party's emotions.

After thinking about the conversation between himself and the dragon, the knight commander felt that he understood the meaning of the other party, and wrote lightly: "I know you feel touched, but in fact, you don't need to cry so hard, after all, this is what I should do. made."

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he found that the dragon was crying even more.

The red dragon choked for a while before saying anything: "... Then you, why did you have to slay the dragon? It obviously did nothing wrong."

"That's right? Are you sure?" The knight commander raised his eyebrows, thinking that the dragon in front of him was too kind and couldn't bear to see his fellow clan suffer.

"The two evil dragons here killed the brave, occupied the gold mines for their own selfish desires, and even robbed the nobles of their treasures... Oh, they even beat you. You are still speaking for them, saying that they have no wrong?"

The red giant dragon has been guarding here for too many days. It has seen too many brave men rushing up shouting "pay for their lives", but it has never seen anyone mention the poor goblin who was forced to die without doing anything.

In terms of habit, it can be said to be used to it after so many days.But seeing the brave man who was still caring about it speak ill of him in front of it in a blink of an eye, the dragon is still a little bit aggrieved.

"But I obviously didn't do anything, and he obviously didn't do anything."

This sentence made the knight commander subconsciously startled, and it was really difficult to connect the crying and talking dragon with the evil dragon that was passed on by the brave.

The dragon didn't know what the knight commander was thinking, and it didn't give the other party time to react. Almost like venting, it yelled out what it had been holding back for a long time: "You said it killed the brave man, but it was the brave man The goblin subordinates who killed it involuntarily first. You keep shouting that killing people will pay for their lives, but you never take this sentence to ask yourself."

"You said that we occupy the gold mine, but it was discovered by the dragons here before you humans even knew the existence of the gold mine. If the so-called occupation is just a step before you discovered it If it exists, then you have seized the mithril in the cartels."

"You said that we robbed the treasures of the nobles, but did you know that our ancestors signed a contract with the empire earlier. If we really robbed things that should not belong to us, those who came here would not It will be you scattered heroes scattered across the empire, but the army of the empire."

"In my opinion, you so-called brave men are nothing but robbers who covet the dragon's treasure...how can you be so unreasonable." At the end, the grievance in the voice of the red dragon was so strong that it almost covered it up Living in this stretch of mountains, the bloody smell that seeps into the soil is almost imprinted on the land forever.

The knight commander never thought that in the eyes of those legendary dragons, those who enforced justice would look like this instead.

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a single syllable with his open mouth.He looked at the pattern of coltsfoot flower that symbolized justice engraved on the left chest of his armor, and wondered whether the belief he had insisted on until now had really been realized.

He felt that he had truly seen the world clearly again, but in a trance he felt that he had never seen it clearly.

"...Are you okay?" Seeing the brave man on the opposite side who hadn't spoken for a long time, the giant dragon called "Evil Dragon" worried about the brave man's sudden accident, and asked cautiously with a still crying voice.

Even though it was not good at reading people's faces and was a little face-blind, it felt that the blond brave man in front of him looked too devastated, as if he would shed tears in the next second.

The knight commander shook his head. For a moment, it seemed as if all his strength had been sucked out of him, and the previous high spirits had disappeared since then.

All the surrounding sounds seemed to fade away at this moment. He turned his back and stretched out his hand to the terrifying and cunning "dragon" to lead his horse, but the horse was still trembling under the might of the dragon.

"Let's go, Norton, we shouldn't be here." He stroked its mane reassuringly, not knowing whether to persuade it or himself.

——He wants to go back to the capital and find out all this himself.

Then, the distraught knight commander returned to the capital, and finally his faith collapsed.

Under the murmurs of laughter and pity among his colleagues, he watched the nobleman who entrusted him to go to Nidal have nothing to say under his questioning, and he watched the crying dragon being crowned with a A series of words related to evil, he watched the empire that said it was robbed of its gold mines and finally did nothing.

He witnessed the joyful celebration of all the people in the capital, those fearless brave men "defeated" Nidal's two "evil dragons".And after the mountain range was no longer quiet enough for the dragon to live in, and after the dragon moved away on his own initiative, the empire finally accepted the gold mine that was "returned to the empire" as a spoil of war.

...As long as the original owner of the house is driven away, that house will finally belong to us.

These absurd and funny logics were established logically, and for the first time, he saw clearly the magical side of this world.

He once found the teacher who taught him chivalry to try to "set things right", but the knight who was recognized as an upright knight in the empire was silent for a long time facing him, and finally just said evasively——

"...you will understand later."

——In the praise of others, it can be regarded as a knight who spent his whole life flaunting justice, but in fact he did nothing.

Most of the nobles who praised the young knight commander would use a word called "young and promising" on him, so the "young" him could not wait for the "later" that his teacher said.

He is not some calculating politician, he is just a knight who has worked hard to be upright.

Perhaps he was too stubborn, and he admitted that he was a little paranoid.That's why the young knight commander who was praised by Qi Qi, the nobles of the royal capital, finally fell in Nidal's land soaked in the blood of brave men and monsters amidst their like-minded sighs.

——Thus, the former knight commander finally became the country hero he is today after experiencing everything.

……

It is rare for Worrell to think about these past events, after all, he is not someone who likes to talk about the past.

In his opinion, the more he recalled the past, the more he regretted it, and the sword in his hand would become duller because of it.

Suddenly thinking of this, in addition to the past colleague in front of me, there may be the reason for the brave man I saw earlier.

... After all, the downcast appearance when he left was too familiar to him.

Maybe the other party will completely stop thinking about becoming a brave man in the future, or maybe the other party will draw out the sword that was once dusty by him in the future.And no matter how he chooses in the future, it can be regarded as a good result——

After all, the world has always lacked such brave men.And at the same time, this world is so unsuitable for such a brave man to survive.

The knight sitting on the opposite side was still talking about how to let the knight grow back. He talked about the prosperity of the capital, and helped Vorrell compare the harsh conditions in this countryside, and he did not forget to include a few words Disgusting words.

Worrell sighed, and reiterated again: "I won't go back, I'm no longer a knight commander."

"It's impossible for me to be a qualified knight, but I may become an excellent brave man in the future." Worrell said in a low voice, and the knight on the opposite side seemed to have heard his words, and took a sip of his neck After the slightly turbid liquor, he no longer said anything about the capital.

……

On the other hand, the evil dragon on the mountain also listened to the goblin's words very seriously, and went out to collect food.And when he looked at the sky and counted the time to return to the tent, the brave man who went down the mountain still didn't come back.

…In the past, at this point, David clearly remembered that Worrell usually sat outside the half-finished wooden house, smiling and waiting for him to come back.

Could it be that he encountered some danger at the foot of the mountain... For example, he was surrounded and scolded when the villagers found him in contact with monsters.

The evil dragon David still remembers that in the books he had read before, it seemed that this kind of person who was regarded as an adulterous enemy was to be loaded into a prison car, and rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown by the crowd, and then Pulled out and beheaded.

...Maybe there is no such fashion trend in such a small place, but maybe a group of people will gather around and scold.

The more the evil dragon thought about it, the more he panicked, and he sat and waited patiently for a while, and finally he couldn't wait any longer.

He wants to go down the mountain to see for himself.

If the brave is really in trouble, he must rescue the brave!

Although he can't justifiably help the brave, but he can make a negative comparison and make the brave look more like an upright brave.

The determined dragon clenched its fists, and under the cover of the trees, it spread its wings and flew down the mountain almost sticking to the ground.

He first went to the brave man's house, but he didn't see anyone from Vorrell.

"Where's Worrell? Where has he gone?" David sneaked into the brave man's house, and asked the brave man's mother in a low voice like a thief.

"I don't know, maybe it was delayed by something on the way." Although Quintina didn't know why, she answered in a low voice cooperatively.Seeing David's nervous face, she comforted her and said, "But don't worry, after so long, even if something serious happens, he must have already dealt with the trouble and is ready to come back."

David didn't say a word. He wanted to hide his thoughts, but he unconsciously showed a painful expression on his face.

... Ms. Quintina is just too kind to know anything about the dangers of this world.

But there was no need to let her know that if she knew the news that her son might be in distress, she would definitely be very nervous, and then thought about going to the village with him to find someone.

When the time comes, if someone finds that she is with a monster like herself, it will definitely be even more unclear.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the evil dragon who felt that he had shouldered the heavy responsibility unconsciously became firmer, he looked at Quintina, and while his eyes kept wandering, he mobilized his wisdom and responded: "Yes, that's good. "

"But I think he hasn't come back yet, so he must not have time to eat. At that time, he shouldn't forget to eat because of those troubles...I'll go out to find him now and call him back for dinner."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Quentina to speak, she rushed out of the door like a gust of wind.

……

The evil dragon walked in the village almost in fear.

... Except for the first time he came to the brave man's house, he took a shortcut through the middle of the village, and he had never been here again.

Fortunately, it happened to be lunch time, and most of the villagers in the village had gone home for dinner, and few of them were hanging out.

After carefully observing the surrounding environment, the evil dragon detoured a few villagers to look for Vorrell.

Although his keen sense of hearing had helped him listen to the scriptures down the mountain from afar with the help of the magic circle in the castle on the mountain, although it didn't tell him where the brave man was, it also showed that there was no noisy place nearby.

——At least Vorrell hasn't fallen into the situation of being surrounded by villagers and scolding him.

Slightly relieved, the evil dragon decided to continue to find the brave man who didn't know where he went.

But luck wasn't always on David's side.Seeing David sneaking out from behind the wall, some villagers looked at his back, although they didn't think such a guy would do anything bad, but they looked a little embarrassed, thinking that he might need help from an adult , Seeing this, he walked over.

"Are you in any trouble?" While the evil dragon was still leaning against the wall to observe the environment ahead, a villager walked around David from behind and asked aloud.

For young people, bending down and looking at each other to let the other party see their sincerity can often make the other party trust him more.The villagers thought the same way. He bent down, but he was caught off guard by a pair of beast-like pupils.

I thought it was a human child, but unexpectedly saw a pair of yellow vertical pupils.Even though the villager was barely a mature and reliable adult, seeing this, he still unavoidably took a few steps back subconsciously and let out a short scream.

"you……"

However, before he could finish his words, the monster on the opposite side looked even more scared than him at the moment.

He looked at the young man in front of him and slapped his hands on his face with a "slap" to cover his eyes, and then ran to another place in a panic.

... To be honest, he was a little startled when he heard that voice.Looking at the white and tender cheeks of the other party, I always worry that the other party will be slapped with two red palm marks by myself.

Many times, when you see that the person you are afraid of is even more panicked than yourself, the fear can often disappear directly.

This is how the villagers feel at this time. Seeing that the other party is covering his eyes hard and can't see the road clearly, and he is about to hit the wall in a few minutes, he has no fear at this time.

Before he had time to say anything, the villager saw the boy in front of him hit the wall without hesitation, and then sat down on the ground.

... Fortunately, the evil dragon thought that there was another villager nearby, and thought that if he really rushed out at this time, he might not be able to knock people out directly.So he specifically withdrew his strength, otherwise the wall would have been knocked down by him.

The villagers didn't dare to say anything, they were afraid that they would burst out laughing when they opened their mouths.

And this silence also gave the evil dragon a little confidence.

David spread his fingers slightly, and carefully observed the surrounding environment through the gaps between his fingers.Then, his beautiful golden vertical pupils met the eyes of the villagers again.

The evil dragon closed its fingers with a "swipe", and at the same time did not forget to lower its head, as if it dared not see anyone.

"...Are you okay?" The villager was worried that the boy opposite would become angry, so he couldn't help laughing.

David nodded, covering his face.

The villagers continued to ask: "Do you have any important things to do in our village? Do you need me to help you?"

"Want to buy something? Or find someone?"

This gentle tone also made David let go of his guard.Hearing the villager's question, and hearing the other party's question whether he was looking for someone, the evil dragon nodded tentatively.

The villagers asked: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? I might just know him."

"Hmm..." David nodded. Seeing that the word "Worrell" was about to be uttered, the vigilance of being a dragon made him wake up quickly.

... What if the other party is following the meaning of what he said, and wants to follow the clues to follow the brave man out.

Thinking about his reaction just now, the evil dragon felt a little scared. Through his fingers, he found that the villager was still waiting for his answer. After thinking for a short moment, he shook his head resolutely.

The villagers saw his vigilance and took a step back: "...then, let's go."

While he was backing away, the evil dragon seized the gap, and after saying "thank you", he covered his face and ran away in a hurry.

The villagers looked at his back as he ran away, and couldn't help touching their own faces.

...He looks so fierce, does it make people feel scared just by looking at him?

……

David eventually finds Worrell in the tavern.

The evil dragon observed the movement around him, and saw that the only person in the room was already drunk and collapsed on the table, so he trotted to the brave man.

Seeing that the person was still intact and uninjured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Have you been drinking too?" The evil dragon sniffed the smell of alcohol on the brave man's clothes, and asked curiously, "Is the wine good?"

For this dragon, who used to see his parents open an altar to drink, David was still a little curious about the taste of the wine.

...Before this, as a good Baolong who grew up under the eyes of his parents, the evil dragon naturally had to stand by and watch them drink every time.And after he became independent, the brave men who came to challenge him every day did not give him a chance to taste it.

The brave man was also a little surprised, the devil in front of him who never wanted to enter the village actually came down to look for him.

But at this time, it is obviously not the time for him to express his astonishment. Seeing the evil dragon licking his lips and glancing at the wine glass from time to time with shining eyes, Worrell simply coaxed: "I didn't drink it, this is not good, it tastes Very tangy and spicy. If you just want to taste, you can try grape juice in the future."

The evil dragon glanced at the wine glass again and again, and believed it decisively after seeing the cloudy liquid in the glass: "Oh, then I will try it later."

Brave Worrell: "Let's go, let's go home. You have come out to find me at this time, I'm afraid Pete should be worried if he doesn't see you when he goes back."

"... In the future, I should not have such a situation again. He probably won't pass by here to ask me to drink in the future."

"That's right, then let's go back quickly." Thinking of the goblin guarding the mountain, the evil dragon responded nervously.

After walking a few steps forward with Worrell, he reacted somewhat belatedly: "What about him, what should he do, should we leave him here alone? Wouldn't it be good. "

"It should be fine, although it looks like he is too drunk to wake up, but he can open his eyes with a little big movement." In this remote place where even monsters are too rare, he doesn't think there is anything that can be done. Threat to a knight.

"Yes, that's good." The evil dragon believed it.

The friends of a brave man are usually brave men. Looking at his good armor, one can tell that this friend of Vorrell's is probably much better off than Vorrell.Even Worrell thinks it's okay, so his friend who is more powerful than him will definitely be fine.

David was relieved, and just as he turned around and was about to follow Vorrell out, the knight slumped on the table over there moved.

Perhaps it was because the sleeping position was not comfortable enough, so he struggled to find a more comfortable position.And just as he was trying to stretch his body, a wine bottle that was originally placed on the side of the table shook because of his movement and finally fell to the ground.

Later, as Worrell said, the knight who was still lying on his stomach immediately opened his eyes, and those sober eyes that seemed not drunk immediately met David's eyes.

"Monster?" He subconsciously frowned, but his hand was already on the hilt of the sword habitually, ready to draw the sword.

Seeing a piece of sword being removed from the scabbard by him, the evil dragon panicked and was thinking about whether to perform a bare-handed catch. By the way, he said something like "Damn brave, I will definitely come back again" To show Worrell's innocence, but unfortunately the brave man over there didn't appreciate it.

"Wake up, what kind of monster." Worrell rushed over with one hand, pressed the opponent's right hand with one hand, and forced the sword back, "It's my kid who came to call me home for dinner, don't just pull it out. sword."

The knight didn't say a word. He looked at Worrell, then at David, who was innocent but recognizable at a glance. He finally curled his lips and said nothing, and let go of the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

... I am afraid that this "sickness of justice" has occurred again.

……

This friend of the Brave seems to be unhappy all of a sudden.

The evil dragon followed the brave man out, and couldn't help but look back a few more times.

"He seems to be angry all of a sudden..." He really had to be one step ahead of the brave, and staged a scene of "the devil and the brave are hostile to each other".

"It's okay, he has always been like this, always getting angry for no reason, just get used to it." The brave explained calmly.Accompanied by the sound at the end of his sentence, there was the sound of the wine glass "bang" falling on the wooden table behind him.

Evil Dragon: ...but you said that, he seems to be even more unhappy.

The evil dragon walked forward by the hem of the brave man's clothes, looking back worriedly from time to time——

To be honest, he was a little afraid that his presence would affect the communication between Vorrell and other brave friends.

... After all, as a dragon, he is also aware of the normal attitude of the brave towards monsters.

Sure enough, the good doesn’t come and the bad comes, David just thought about it in his heart, and caught a glimpse of the dissatisfied eyes cast by Warrell’s brave friend.

One person and one dragon looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally, under the anxious eyes of the evil dragon, the brave friend who might not be used to him took the lead to look away unnaturally.

Evil Dragon: ...It's over. I heard that there is a saying that what you can't see is what you see. He must hate me very much now.

David tried harder to open his eyes wide and looked at the other party, trying to judge from the other party's reaction, in order to make the last struggle.

However, that brave friend of Worrell was very resolute, lying on the table and obstinately ignoring him.In the end, under his gaze, which could be called fiery, the other party insisted on not looking at him, and fell asleep on his stomach.

The evil dragon's heart was half cold.

——The relationship between Worrell and his brave friend is probably going to be cold because of him.
