Remember in one second,
Fires were lit in the Chief's Fort, and the surrounding tables were filled with food. The distinguished people in the entire tribe, plus Elias and his son and several senior caravan officials, were all enjoying the dinner. But at this moment Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the round fort, which was currently undergoing a fierce battle, and standing on the side were more than a dozen young men from the defeated tribe.
"boom!"
As Verdanti used the sheathed sword of royal power to draw away the tall chief Ibrahimovic, everyone in the entire Chieftain's Castle looked at the little knight Verdanti in horror. Unexpectedly, this short knight who looked thin and frail could easily defeat the strongest warrior of the tribe present. He even defeated their chief Ibrahimovic without even unsheathing his sword.
Ibrahimovic rushed towards Verdanti in anger and raised his sledgehammer angrily, but Verdanti still easily blocked his attack with a few strokes and knocked him and the hammer away from the front. .
Lu Zhiyu came out and easily grabbed the heavy hammer that could smash an elephant's head with one blow. The hammer was knocked out with huge force, but Lu Zhiyu easily held it with his five fingers. He grabbed the handle and turned it around, then brought it back. He grabbed the fat leg of lamb with the other hand and took a big bite. He said jokingly: "Chief, your hammer."
Chief Ibrahimovic was ashamed and annoyed. He did not expect that he would be defeated so easily by the opponent. However, the opponent did not even show his true strength. He tried his best but could not even defeat the opponent's son. He still used very poor skills. Glorious wheel battle.
Verdanti put away her sword and looked at Ibrahimovic proudly: "I won. I hope you can allow us to stay here temporarily as you promised, and then provide us with the necessary help to slay the dragon."
Ibrahimovic blushed extremely and grabbed the hammer, stood up, looked at Verdanti, a lion man of the same race as him, and looked up and down, with a look of admiration and approval in his eyes: "You are very powerful. , I admit it, but it is of no use. You don’t understand what you are about to face. It is a giant dragon more than ten meters tall. You stand in front of it, like a weak little mouse. It can easily It will tear apart all your defenses, and the attacks you are so proud of will have no effect on it."
Verdanti raised her head: "Those who do evil will be severely punished!"
Chief Ibu said seriously: "Don't you think we don't want to get rid of this evil dragon? But no one can do it, at least not a mortal. You don't know how many of our young men have fallen into it. It even requires me to provide treasures and sacrifices to it every month, otherwise it will trample our tribe and kill us all."
When Chief Ibrahimovic said this, the originally lively dinner party suddenly became quiet. Everyone in the tribe showed hatred and fear in their eyes. They had already died too many people towards that evil dragon. They are human, but there is nothing they can do against the giant dragon. They are afraid of its god-like power.
"Sacrifice? What sacrifice?"
Verdanti looked at everyone present in confusion, as well as the women and children who were crying secretly. She suddenly knew something, and then stared at Ibrahimovic, looking at Chief Ibrahimovic in disbelief and anger. : "You actually sacrificed to it? Sacrificing your own people to an evil dragon!"
Chief Ibrahimovic roared angrily: "Do you think I am willing? But what can I do? We must survive, the tribe must survive, and the lives of all the people in the tribe, I must take responsibility for them, not like you , speak some beautiful words brightly, for us, this is survival, this is destiny!"
Elias stood up at this time: "Ibrahimovic did not use his own people to sacrifice to the evil dragon, but used orcs from other tribes."
Only then did Verdanti understand why she had seen many people in the tribe injured, many with sad faces, and the children didn't even have enough food to eat. Verdanti looked at Elias, and then turned to look at Ibrahimovic: "So, can you feel at ease if you sacrifice the lives of other tribes of orcs?"
Verdanti angrily kicked out the bonfire in the center of the Chief's Fort, causing sparks to scatter on the ground: "I can't accept it."
Verdanti angrily walked out of the Chief's Fort. The cold wind at night was blocked from the valley. The wind in the valley was much lighter, but it was still extremely cold, especially at this moment, there were still snowflakes floating in the valley.
Lu Zhiyu walked out of the castle at this time and saw Verdanti on the water tower built above: "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Here, you can see the scene of the entire tribe and the valley. This is a very primitive tribe. It does not have the bustling and lively scene of a big city. It is simple and pure. Every round castle and every light represents a family. .
Verdanti lowered her head: "I don't have any artifact. Chief Ibrahimovic has done a good job. He is very responsible. He has protected everyone in the tribe. He is a true hero, and I am indeed as he said. Same, just a guy who says nice things.”
Lu Zhiyu looked at Verdanti: "So?"
Verdanti looked at the entire tribe below and thought of all the faces she had seen today, the lovely children, the hard-working women, the young men returning from hunting, the children who had lost their parents, the wives who had lost their husbands, and those who had lost their husbands. A lonely old man in the snow.
Verdanti stood up: "I have decided, I must get rid of that evil dragon!"
Verdanti looked into Lu Zhiyu's eyes. Under the short golden hair, there was a pair of delicate face, with sword-like eyebrows, with a sense of stubbornness: "It's not for honor, nor to be a hero, but for To protect others, to follow the call of your heart.”
At this moment, Lu Zhiyu suddenly felt that Verdanti had undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer thought about the silly little trouble he was familiar with before, the one who had been clamoring all day long since he was a child, wanting to be a knight and a hero. , Verdanti who wants the bard to sing her story.
A smile appeared on Lu Zhiyu's face, and he suddenly recited: "In the face of a powerful enemy, do not be afraid, be courageous and loyal, be worthy of sanctity, be loyal and upright, rather than surrender, and protect the weak, it is not against the laws of nature!"
Halfway through the recitation, Verdanti also started reciting it. Lu Zhiyu nodded after finishing reciting: "You will become a real knight, even a king."
At this time, a figure suddenly walked out from behind. Lu Zhiyu looked over and found that it was a human young man. He immediately recognized it. He was a guard from the previous Elias caravan.
"Hello, my name is Aaron, can I join you? I also want to be a member of the dragon-slaying team."
The two turned around and saw a young man with brown hair and a vicissitudes of life speaking to them. Verdanti stood up excitedly: "Of course, you are welcome, but what do you know?"
Aaron immediately said: "I can lay traps, and my swordsmanship is pretty good. At the same time, I am proficient in tracking and concealment abilities. Believe me, if you take me with you, it will definitely be useful."
Lu Zhiyu looked at Aaron curiously: "Then why did you choose us? You know, most people think this is a stupid thing to get yourself killed."
Aaron looked at them: "Risk always coexists with opportunity. This is a very important opportunity for me. I have something I have to accomplish, so I am willing to take risks, and I feel that you will succeed. "
Lu Zhiyu stood up and patted Aaron's palm: "Welcome, but what I want to tell you is that he is the only one who goes to slay the dragon this time."
Aaron was stunned for a moment and looked at Verdanti, and then at Lu Zhiyu. Verdanti also looked at her father in disbelief: "Dad, aren't you going with me? "
Lu Zhiyu shrugged his shoulders: "Of course not, why should I go? I didn't reveal the king's list!"
A few days later in the morning, the dragon-slaying team, which was ready to go, finally set off, mainly accompanied by Verdanti, Aaron, and Ibrahimovic, although he criticized Verdanti's unwise move, he finally joined the team. In addition to the team, there was another tauren named Tiritan. A group of four people embarked on a journey to expel the evil dragon.
