Make the dragon great again

Chapter 153 Newly Unlocked "Story"

It has been raining heavily for a day and a night, and the weather really makes people a little lazy.

To the west of [Thunder City], on the south coast of [Behemoth Inner Sea], there is a town located at the junction of [Royal Faction] and [Northern Faction] forces.

Idlers who couldn't work because of the weather, and adventurers who couldn't go out to do missions, crowded into several adjacent taverns on the main road of the town. The smell of sweat mixed with the faint scent of inferior ale, forming a A "strange" smell that is enough to make the pampered noble ladies faint after smelling it.

——Of course, those aristocratic gentlemen who are popular with paint and paint probably can't stand the smell.

The adventurers, who had nowhere to go because of the sudden continuous rainstorm, swayed their energy with nowhere to vent in the collision of oak wine glasses and pushing each other after they were half-drunk. The income has risen greatly, and it has also made it difficult to maintain order in the tavern.

Of course, not all adventurers are willing to relax with the crowd at this time. There are also some guys with a clear purpose and a firm heart who are still working in such an environment...

boom!
The door of the 'Rolling Barrel' tavern was pushed open, and one of the two doors slammed into the post behind the door with a loud crash, while the other slammed into a man sitting nearby. on the adventurer, causing half of his ale to be spilled on his clothes.

The tavern, which was originally filled with laughter, cursing and shouting, suddenly became a little quieter. Everyone's eyes turned to the gate, and many people were even looking forward to the upcoming "drama".

"Shet! I swear I'm going to kick hard with my right foot..."

The adventurer who was hit slammed down the empty oak wine glass in his hand, and turned around cursingly to teach the guy who entered the door rudely, but when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he suddenly woke up from his drunkenness After coming over, the distorted and angry expression immediately switched seamlessly to the bright smiling mode.

"Ah, this! It turned out to be Mr. Cullen, oh, I'm really sorry just now, I should have made way."

After saying that, he bent down to pick up the cracked oak wine glass on the ground, and got into the crowd of people nearby.

The crowd booed in disappointment, but some sharp-eyed people recognized the identity of the man at the gate with an oak barrel on his shoulders, just like the obedient guy after being hit.

"Is that Karen?"

"It's true. I heard that he is a workaholic who feels uncomfortable all day if he doesn't accept the entrustment. Looking at the wine barrel he is carrying, he must have accepted the entrustment of the tavern owner to help replenish the rapidly consumed ale, right?"

Someone who didn't know "Karen" asked the insider about his origin.

"Hey guys, tell me who is that Karen?"

The middle-aged adventurer who was asked took a sip of the low-quality ale, and then said:

"At first glance, you are a newcomer, but it is also true. In recent years, adventurers with some conditions have basically gone to the Great Mullin Forest. Guys like us who are still wandering in small towns are either newcomers or have not saved enough money. Poor wretches who are able to travel across the kingdom and deep into the great forest capital...or, like Karen, who have already witnessed the 'miracle'..."

Hearing this, the young man who asked the question said excitedly:

"I know, I know, you mean the underground [Sage's Labyrinth] in the depths of the Mullin Great Forest, right? I heard that it belongs to an ancient sage's magical underground palace, and the person who can go to the end will be Can witness a miracle! Is that Karen the one who made it to the end?"

The middle-aged adventurer nodded and said enviously:
"That's right, and he was one of the first adventurers who witnessed miracles and was granted great power by that mysterious ancient sage. He was very famous among the adventurers who pursued that dungeon. He died three years ago. He is a gold-level adventurer, and now he has reached the diamond-level, and there are even rumors that he is close to the hero-level of the peak of mankind!"

The young people and other people nearby who were attracted by the topic took a breath, but some people raised doubts:

"Shouldn't such a character be a guest of the nobles and own his own manor to enjoy the pleasures of wealth? How could he still take on such low-level errand tasks? And it's still in such bad weather."

The middle-aged adventurer shook his head, and said with admiration in his tone:

"You don't know this. It is true that the biggest goal of most adventurers, including me, is to obtain wealth that can lead a decent life, but over the years, more and more adventurers have begun to pursue pure power. Just like the ascetics in the ancient heroic epics who pursued the improvement of the level of extraordinary power, they no longer even use the word 'adventurer' to call themselves, but call themselves the ancient 'holy knights'... and this trend of thought It was born from the adventurers like Karen who first discovered the [Sage's Labyrinth] and witnessed the miracle! For them, accepting the entrustment is not for the pursuit of wealth, but more of a whim, such as This Karen, I guess he is commissioned by the tavernkeeper, and the reward may be a few glasses of ale and a good dinner..."

Many young observers find it difficult to understand the "pursuit of high-end adventurers" described by middle-aged adventurers. For them, money is the most important thing in the world. How can someone be so stupid as to have trouble with money? , Why do you want to live the kind of ascetic practice life?
But most young people are impulsive idealists, so the younger listeners all have a yearning for such a life of "fearing the powerful and doing things their own way"...

Another successful campaign.

With Karen's hearing ability, of course he heard the discussions from all over the tavern, and couldn't help but feel the success of the "Sage Your Excellency" strategy.

"As long as successful cases like mine appear frequently, it will continue to attract adventurers who are interested in dungeons..."

Karen didn't think too much about it. He thought it was a bit arrogant to speculate on the behavior of "Your Majesty the Sage" with his own wisdom as a warrior.

'Anyway, I just need to continue to complete Mr. Rex's tasks and accumulate contributions, so that I can have the opportunity to meet with His Majesty the Sage again and get a new round of power grants! '

What outsiders don't know is that this "retro cultivator" who has become famous among adventurers in recent years has actually been recruited into an underground by another famous heroic adventurer, [Bladebreaker] Rex. In the city lord's special "field team".

In addition to Karen, there are quite a few adventurers who have reached the last floor of the dungeon and received the power of Adrian, and they have all become Rex's offline one after another over the years.

Some of them, like Karen, accepted Rex's occasional missions in order to get another chance to meet the "sage", and some of them accepted Rex's oath of allegiance to the first princess of Bechymos in public. , and was awarded the title of "Honorary Knight Commander of the Kingdom" by the Duchess Regent, and wanted to take this road to climb up to the top nobles of the kingdom and serve Rex.

Of course, there is also a very important reason that Rex can always take out valuable high-quality corundum mines and enchanted artifacts as rewards for every mission. Get money much higher...

Walking to the counter from the passage where the crowd voluntarily let go, Karen put down the barrel on his shoulder, patted the barrel, and said to the boss who was wiping the oak wine glass casually:

"The rest is outside. Your guys have already pulled the back door to move down the wine cellar. The rest is my reward."

The tavern owner took out a clean and delicate crystal wine glass, took out a bottle of preserved fruit wine from under the counter, and filled it up for Karen, which attracted the attention of people nearby, but under the atmosphere where Karen was being discussed everywhere, no one Dare to say anything about it.

The tavern owner thanked Karen:

"It's really helpful. In this kind of ghost weather, even these guys who are willing to sell their wives' underwear for a few copper coins don't want to go to the brewery on the other side of town to bring the goods back. If it weren't for your Help, I'm afraid the store's inventory will be exhausted tonight, and then these damned idiots will have to make trouble again, obviously they are unwilling to accept the commission to make such a situation!"

The tavern owner's words caused dissatisfaction among some people near the counter.

"Hey, old guy, what are you talking about? I don't even have a wife, and if I want to sell it, I will sell yours!"

To those booing drunks, the tavern owner "breathed the fragrance" for a while, then ignored them, and asked Karen who had finished drinking the glass of high-quality fruit wine:

"Well, Mr. Cullen, do you know what's going on this day? I think the rain is not normal. I heard that it is related to the 'vision' and the dragon that happened two days ago. I don't know if it is true. of."

coming.

Karen thought to himself, glanced around, and saw that many people had stopped discussing, waiting for his answer.

Two days ago, from the depths of the [Bechymos Inner Sea] in the north, there was a continuous and terrible roar, and it was accompanied by the roar of an unknown giant beast, and then there was even a round of lights that illuminated the sky. "Little Sun", and then there was a sudden change in the weather, and abnormal heavy rain swept across the vast area along the [Behemos Inner Sea].

Many people believed that this abnormal weather was deeply related to the vision two days ago, but they didn't have much clue about the truth.

But there is one thing that most people agree on - this matter must have an inseparable relationship with the dragon!

After all, for the people of the kingdom, in their cognition, the only thing that can be related to this large-scale extraordinary phenomenon beyond imagination is the "giant dragon" that is also exaggerated by the bard...

Karen thought about it, quickly recalled what Mr. Rex explained two days ago, and then said:

"That's right, the abnormal weather this time is indeed related to a battle that is taking place in the depths of [Bechymos Inner Sea]."

"A battle taking place?"

More and more people are turning their attention to Karen, just like what he experienced in the other two nearby towns...

Karen, who is experienced, knows the truth that "valuable news will not come too easily", knocked on the empty wine glass, and signaled the boss to continue to take out his bottle of high-quality fruit wine, a good adventurer They urged the tavern owner to fill him up. In this atmosphere, and the owner was a little itchy, he had no choice but to follow the atmosphere and take out the wine again.

After slowly taking a sip of the fairly good-quality crimson fruit wine, Karen spoke out the belly draft he had written long ago:

"Two days ago, Lord Adrian, the pure white dragon, the monarch of the dragon clan in Sirias, the protector of the Kingdom of Bechymos, and another dragon launched a battle in the depths of [Bechymos Inner Sea] fighting……"

With Karen's eloquence, a "legendary story" that everyone listened to with gusto gradually took shape.

In Karen's narration, Adrian the pure white dragon is the leader of the dragon clan in Sirias. The sense of déjà vu of the troubled prince regaining his right to rule.

This part, in fact, is already familiar to the people of the Bechymos Kingdom. It is the knowledge of Adrian's origin that has been intentionally embodied by Adrian over the past three years and guided by Rex and others. specific cognition.

The entire script was personally polished by Adrian Benlong, which used the usual plots of the Hollywood film industry in his previous life, such as the dual opposing character camps, the three-act narrative structure, the growth of the protagonist, and the bitterness and hatred of the villain. And so on, all the stories are used, and the whole story makes the people happy to hear and see, and the bards call themselves experts and learn one after another.

And the following plot, or the "newly unlocked plot" spread by Rex under the instruction of Adrian, feels like a new series of movies.

The successful and famous protagonist fell into a new round of predicament, the same bitter and bitter new villain appeared but the path became more and more crooked, the protagonist and the new villain fell into confrontation blablabla because of the historical problems left over from the previous plot...

In this era of lack of spiritual enjoyment for the common people, this kind of mature commercial film narrative derived from Adrian's previous life is really addicting to the listener, plus the bards who see the interests behind these "epic legends" Competing to praise, these [Dragon Legends] deliberately polished by Adrian are actually spreading much faster than Isanata and even Adrian's own prediction.

However, the "second plot" that is currently spreading and involving new characters, because it is in the "ongoing time" in reality, the plot only develops to the narrative flow of "prologue, establishment, confrontation, resolution, and epilogue" The "confrontation" stage in the film can be said to have hooked everyone's addiction, triggering a series of spontaneous discussions.

Dafa in disarray, applicable to all worlds.

However, due to the foreshadowing of the "previous work" and the guidance of a certain dragon's hidden value orientation in this plot, Adrian has been classified as a "good guy camp" in the eyes of the public and has formed a stereotype. The "story" is still in progress, but everyone agrees that Adrian will win in the end, and the new "Dragonbetrayer" role for "Behemoth" is doomed.

That's right, Adrian defined the suture monster-like "behemoth" as a traitor among the dragons and a relic of the villain in the "previous work" plot. Going down will be doomed to lose to Adrian, and in the follow-up "plot" that has not yet been released, she will surrender to Adrian...

To be continued, change first and then change.
