Black-haired Knight King of Chaldea

Chapter 76 Vol.9 The Humble Dragon Slayer

Dragons, it seems, always have a bad image in Western myths and legends.

For example, generally speaking, it is the dragon that destroys the city.

Another example, generally speaking, it is the dragon who stole the princess.

The plot that often appears in Western legends is that the evil dragon destroys the city, destroys the fortress, the people are struggling, and even robs the princess, and then this inexplicable dragon, after robbing the princess, must stay in the lair honestly, without staying home. He waited for the dragon slayer to come and kill it, and then the hero went back with the princess and the treasure.

This kind of plot is especially common in Western novels—especially modern web novels.

In fact, if you think about it, this kind of story is full of logical errors.

First of all, for the time being, dragons plunder treasures because they have a hobby of liking shiny things.Just think so.So why plunder the human princess?Most castles have places like treasure chests, right?Shouldn't it be to snatch away a lot of gold and silver jewelry?
Secondly, as I said before, the dragon is here to destroy the castle. Why is it so coincidental that the king and the princess are not killed, and the dragon will definitely snatch the princess and leave the king instead of eating the two.

In the end, what is the dragon doing to steal the human woman?Even if they want to leave offspring, the species are obviously different. For example, humans eat pork, but I have never seen that human being robbed of a female wild boar cub and brought it home to prepare to marry it.

This kind of story is a story that is arbitrarily made up in order to show the bravery of human beings.

Let's not talk about the authenticity of this kind of thing, let's talk about the vague image and feeling.

Dragons always appear as enemies of mankind.

Except for China, where the dragon is the totem, in most national cultures, the dragon appears as the incarnation of evil and the last big boss.

The dragon slayer often means success.

Siegfried is the Dragon Slayer.

According to legend, the hero who killed the evil dragon Fafna, His Royal Highness, was bathed in dragon blood and was invulnerable.

Judging from these elements, it is possible to imagine an image of a brave, rebellious, arrogant and confident hero?

In reality, however, Siegfried's impression can be summed up in one word.

【obedience】.

If there was one more word to add, it would be [humility].

His attitude is a bit similar to Hassan of Cursing Wrist, but Hassan of Cursing Wrist is because he made a choice to be sorry to Fujimaru Tatsuka before. As the enemy of everyone, he has tried to kill her many times, so he naturally has to pick up his tail and be a man.

But Siegfried is different. He has no interaction with everyone at all. This humility and obedience can only be interpreted as... nature is like this.

He stood quietly in the corner of the room, the door was not closed, it was wide open, and he could be seen leaning against the corner like a wooden stake, not saying a word, folding his arms, and doing nothing.

Seeing everyone coming, he stood up straight from the corner, put down his hands, and bowed slightly to Tatsuka Fujimaru: "Hello, Master."

"Hello! Siegfried! I'm here to play~"

Fujimaru Tachika's cheerful voice rang in the room, and the girl with a bright smile flashed her big eyes, staring at Siegfried's sturdy body.

"If Siegfried, is it invulnerable? Really?"

On the way here, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of Medusa and Medea, Yagi Sesai told her the story about Siegfried and the song about the Nibelung that he knew.Now she is full of curiosity about this legend.

"Yes. It does have the ability."

Siegfried nodded, but a dark color appeared on his face immediately, and continued: "Sorry, but this ability cannot be used correctly now. I'm really sorry for responding to the call with such an incomplete attitude."

"No, it's okay. There's no such thing!"

Hearing this statement, Fujimaru Rika felt as if she was bullying him, and quickly said: "Look, I am also a master who is not a weapon, everyone is incomplete~ It can be regarded as the right one."

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Siegfried bowed slightly and apologized to her again.

In the short chat, it is not difficult to find that Siegfried is the kind of person who has a very low evaluation of himself, rather, is a person who has almost no sense of [self]. As a hero, he is very humble, lowering his attitude and giving A human feeling of inferiority.

Also, he is the kind of person who speaks very little.If he didn't initiate the conversation, he just stood quietly.

In fact, he once participated in the Holy Grail War, although the impression of being summoned is ambiguous - for a Servant, being summoned is like a dream. After waking up, although he will remember some fragments, some Impressions, but generally speaking, do not have particularly clear memories.

In the last Holy Grail War, he responded to the call as a saber, and because of the wrath of the master, he understood the situation of being speechless, so he spoke less.Originally humble, he became even more humble.

"Speaking of..."

Yagi Xuezai was also itchy, as if Matthew worshipped Leonidas because of the Servant of the Shield.Yagi Xuezai also wanted the dragon slayer to instruct his swordsmanship.

It is useless to have the ability of a Servant, but the martial arts skills cannot keep up.

"Mr. Siegfried, can I ask you about sword skills?"

"With all due respect, swordsmanship is not that great, are you sure you want to learn it?"

"Where, the legendary hero is always better than a weak magician like me."

Siegfried didn't refute it. It's okay to be modest, but it would be very unpleasant to forcibly tell the truth because of humility.Yagi Xuezai's swordsmanship... is really not popular, which can be seen from his posture.

"Understood. If you don't dislike my swordsmanship. I'd love to. But... I'll say it up front."

Siegfried rarely used a humble tone.

"Because of your attributes, you will probably be suppressed by me. Please handle yourself correctly and don't belittle yourself."

Siegfried's words surprised Yagi Yuzhai for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Siegfried added: "Are you... a [Dragon]?"

Siegfried, who has the ability of dragon slayer, can break out the combat power gap of crushing level to servants with dragon attributes.

Keenly aware of the smell of dragons on Yagi Xuezai, Siegfried said this.

Dragon slayers will not lose to dragons.If Yagi Seizai confronted him, he would only be pressed and beaten by Siegfried after gaining the power of King Arthur's dragon.

This is a strength gap that cannot be filled with training.

As long as he is still a [Dragon], he will never be able to beat Siegfried.

After a lot of sweat training, if you can't get results, it is easy to make people frustrated.

Yagi Xuezai was startled, then nodded vigorously.

"I am enlightened. Please give me more advice when the time comes, Siegfried."
