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

Carl breathed a sigh of relief, and then retorted: "Impossible, just the theater in the town. Although I haven't gone in to see it, the play 'The Brave Saves the Princess from the Dragon' is being performed every day."

"Everyone was talking about this before, how could this not have happened."

As the evil dragon who knows the ins and outs of the world most clearly, he curled his lips and couldn't help telling the truth that almost no one knew except him: "It just didn't happen."

"That dragon never went to snatch the princess from the beginning to the end."

……

Although I try my best to become a competent dragon that can make all the brave men feel that they are slaying dragons, and often keep the appearance of a bad dragon lying on the pile of gold coins and talk to the brave men who come to the door with a cold and calm tone, but always There were times when he would take on this less evil human form.

——For example, if the root of the wings is itchy, you need to scratch it, for example, if the horn of the dragon is dirty, you need to wipe it.

Compared with the whole dragon, the claws that were too fat and short obviously couldn't catch the back or touch the top of the head. There was no way, he could only turn into a human to deal with these troubles.

And this is also the reason why the dragon language magic handed down by them has the spell of changing people.

But these problems are obviously not the kind that can be solved all at once. They often appear repeatedly, which also makes David scratch his back and wash his hair like a human from time to time.

The number of times was too many, and some brave men who came to the door happened to see him like this.

In order to ensure their majestic image, it is not easy for the evil dragon to change back in front of them and let everyone know that he is a juvenile dragon, so that all brave men who come to the door will be labeled as "bullying minors" and lose face. There is no way, he can only watch these unlucky brave men take advantage of their happiness and return in disappointment.

... To be honest, as a dragon, he really didn't want to see such a scene.But there is always no huge tickle that can be used by dragons in the world, and this kind of bad luck can only happen randomly to those brave men who come to the door.

And the reactions of those heroes who happened to encounter such things are also very interesting.

Some people think that the dragon is not there, so they aim their blades at him, trying to earn the title of "killing the dragon and getting out of the body"; Walking on the gemstones on the ground, he became rich overnight; some people thought that he was snatched by the dragon, and when they saw his face, they subconsciously pulled him to escape while the dragon was away.

Maybe it's because of these brave men who happened to see his human appearance, at the beginning he was just an innocent dragon who only did evil in Nidal.But later, for some reason, some gossip spread that the dragon on the top of the dragon only liked good-looking little human boys, and secretly snatched one from the bottom of the mountain.

... To be honest, when David first heard the brave call him "pervert", the whole dragon was going to be stupid.

Perhaps the story of "the perverted dragon likes the pretty little boy" is too weird. The spread of this news has not been widely spread, so that not many brave men knew about it at the beginning, and David didn't react.

Until later, I don't know who made an excellent adaptation of this story, forcibly turning the beautiful little boy in it into a beautiful princess, and the popularity of this story has increased.

"Save the princess" is more pleasing to the brave than "kill the perverted dragon".

May I ask which brave man doesn't like a beautiful princess?May I ask who hasn't grown up watching the story of "Princess and Dragon" since childhood?

Those legendary stories have been read since childhood, and everyone has dreamed that they will become the protagonist of the legend.Seeing the opportunity appearing now, there are so many brave men who come to the door that they almost have to step through the threshold of the castle.

At first, the evil dragon was quite happy to see so many brave men coming to his door.But later, whether it was early morning or evening, noon or late at night, seeing those brave men tirelessly going up the mountain all the time, and the evil dragon being disturbed so much that he couldn’t open his eyes during the day, he finally couldn’t help it, let go and told the door-to-door The brave man, shows that there is no princess in the castle at all.

However, the brave men didn't believe it, and they still charged, insisting that they would not leave until they saw the princess.

How could the evil dragon give them a princess? He couldn't just grab one just because of this... After all, that would be a breach of the agreement.

After successively denying the idea of ​​"pretending to be a princess and going down the mountain with them", and "getting a princess to act in a play", the evil dragon finally chose to tell the brave man who came to the door——

"My princess here has been rescued by other brave men. If you don't believe me, go search for it yourself. If you find one, I will give her to you."

In the astonished eyes of the brave man on the opposite side, the sleepy dragon finally ushered in a good dream.

But in the same way, the evil dragon also forgot that his answer, from another perspective, proves the existence of the princess in reverse.

It wasn't until a well-meaning brave man came to the door that he knew how the people at the bottom of the mountain viewed this matter——

The evil dragon's castle has returned to its former desertedness, but the evil dragon has not changed its habit of shouting "The princess has been rescued" when it sees a brave man.

As before, David's first reaction after seeing the new hero coming was to reveal that there was no princess in the castle.

And the reaction of the brave man on the other side is also different from others.

The brave man smiled helplessly: "Well, I know everything, I even know that the princess does not exist from the beginning to the end."

The evil dragon felt that he had finally found a bosom friend, and couldn't help complaining: "It's good that you know. Others don't know this, and they all don't believe me when I say it."

"I don't know where they heard about it. They all come to me for a princess, but how can I give them a real princess?"

Brave: "Maybe it's because I saw a mixed-race boy here. After a long time, he became a princess. But it should be fine in the future. Everyone has heard that there is no princess here, and no one will come here in the future." gone."

"By the way, may I take the liberty to ask, where is that mixed-race boy now?"

"He, he came to me and tried to take refuge in me. But I didn't want my subordinates, so I let him leave. Maybe it was during this process that I was accidentally seen by other brave men." The evil dragon made up a story casually. He was afraid that after the news that "the prototype of the princess is actually the dragon himself" got out, those brave men who really felt the dragon slaying would become angry and lose face among their companions, "I heard you didn't take that seriously. very happy."

"By the way, can I ask the people at the bottom of the mountain what they say? I'm afraid that some acquaintances will think that my reputation will be ruined after I become famous."

... After hearing about this, some dragons he knew before couldn't help sending congratulatory messages, teasing him that he actually likes humans.

These dragons can make it clear with a few words of explanation, but not necessarily his brave friends.He had to understand it well in advance, otherwise he might not have time to think of an explanation when asked by his brave friends later, and he stammered and looked like he was lying.

The brave man on the opposite side asked: "Don't you want to go down the mountain, and then go and listen to what other people have to say?"

The evil dragon shook his head: "No, I promised a brave man not to go down the mountain."

"...All right," the brave man was silent for a moment, "there are rumors down the mountain that the dragon here stole the beautiful princess. But with the efforts of a powerful brave man, the dragon had no choice but to release the princess, and then the brave man and the princess We are happily together."

"Is that so?" Although it was similar to what he thought, the evil dragon was still a little disappointed when he got such an answer, "Is there no other way to say it?"

Originally, the story was false, but now I also know that there are people who know about it like the brave man in front of me, so there should be other follow-up rumors.

"Yes, there is." After the brave man finished speaking, he fell into silence again.

...Probably thinking about other stories I have heard. After all, the mainstream theory is here. Even if I have heard other stories, I still have to think about it before I can think of that story.The evil dragon thought so with some uncertainty.

Xu Shi finally thought of the inattentive chatter he had heard a long time ago, and the brave man finally said: "In order to have a reputation of being 'beautiful enough to be loved by dragons', the princess spread the news and sneaked up to the mountain to touch porcelain."

"And the dragon didn't know anything, and even saw her pitifully took her in. Then, after countless brave men went up the mountain one after another, the dragon, who felt wronged, finally drove her down the mountain and let her leave in despair."

The evil dragon who heard this saying for the first time blinked his eyes: "Is there anything else? Is there anything else?"

This time, the brave man was silent for a longer time.But fortunately, at the end, he remembered the story and retold it again: "The king wanted to marry the princess to the prince of a neighboring country, but the princess actually had someone she liked. In desperation, the princess had to break the jar Come to the peak of the evil dragon, and ask for help from the dragon who lives here."

"And the kind-hearted dragon was also moved by their love, and finally chose to help them."

"Yes, that's good." The evil dragon nodded in satisfaction, and even flicked the tip of his tail with his good mood, as if he was also moved by the story told by the brave man.

……

Karl still doesn't really believe the evil dragon's words. The mindset he formed over the past ten years made him retort: ​​"Impossible. Even if the drama is adapted, that's what I heard from the brave men."

David: "It must be because you haven't met a brave man who knows everything and is willing to tell the truth, so you don't know the secret rumors that only circulate among brave men."

...Thinking about what Worrell had said to him after watching the play "The Dragon Takes the Princess", he felt that the brave man in front of him must be the same as the brave man he met back then, An insider who clearly knows the inside story.

"Worrell, tell him quickly, that dragon didn't try to snatch the princess."

"Yes, that dragon didn't snatch the princess." So the brave man who knew - Vorrell began to say the words he had said before again, "In order for the princess to have a 'beautiful enough to be loved by the dragon' Fame, spreading the news and sneaking up to the mountains to touch porcelain. And the dragon doesn't know anything..."

Watching the brave man in front of him tell those unknown secret stories again, and seeing the dubious expression on the half-blood monster's face, the evil dragon was finally satisfied.

——He just said, even if the number may be a little small, there must be some people in this world who know the stories that are closer to the truth.

Listening to Worrell's gentle tone when he said these things, for a moment, David, who had not heard this saying for a long time, felt as if he had passed through that long time again and returned to the The scene when I first heard these stories.

...No way, there seem to be too few brave men who know this story.Apart from the brave man back then, it seemed that only the current Worrell was left.

In fact, at that time, the evil dragon also wanted to remember the face of the brave man in front of him for a moment.

It’s just that he seemed a bit too tall after becoming the Dragon Queen. Even if he squatted hard to lower his height, even if he tried his best to open his eyes and lower his head, he could only do it in the end. I could see the extraordinarily brilliant blond hair on that hero's head.
