The Defeated Dragon

"Does Uncle Phil want a son?" Jesse nodded first, then nodded, "It seems that I have heard him complain that he has no son and no one takes care of him when he is sick."

Lister looked at Jesse.

Suddenly asked: "Jesse, if I remember correctly, you seem to be an orphan?"

"Yes, sir, I grew up in the Coral City Welfare Institute. Thanks to the tulip family for their generosity and let our orphans live." Jesse said earnestly.

The orphanage is an institution where nobles gather orphans. Civilians always have accidents, leaving a few children unattended. In order to show their kindness, some wealthy nobles will set up orphanages on the family fiefdoms, gather orphans, and work directly for the castle when they grow up.

Jessie is such an orphan.

"Is the old tanner in the tannery now?"

"Here, sir, I wanted to invite Uncle Phil to go shopping, but he didn't want to."

那么 "Jessie, come with me and see the old tanner. I have something to do with him."

"Okay, I'll go and prepare the horse for you."

On the racecourse outside the castle, there are rudimentary lounges. Philip and Xavier have been here. As knights, they do not enjoy the benefits of vacation.

I saw Liszt riding a fire dragon horse, and they each rode a bridle and followed Liszt.

Take a walk to the tannery.

基本上 Basically, there are leathersmith shops in all towns. Leatherworkers are craftsmen who make leather, sew fur, and repair leather shoes. In terms of subdivision, there are leather helmetsmiths, leather armorers, saddlesmiths, drummers, bagsmiths, leathersmiths, leather shoemakers, etc. Generally, most of them are leather shoemakers.

The old tanner Phil of Huahuang Town is a shoemaker.

In big cities, leather shoemakers are often rich freelancers, because a pair of leather shoes requires a lot of money. But in small towns, the treatment of leather shoemakers is poor. Few people can afford leather shoes, so leathersmith shops can only make a living-most serfs and freelancers wear wooden shoes and straw shoes.

Of course, more people don't wear shoes.

"Is it Jessie?" The old tanner had a husky voice. From the table, he was groping for a pair of leather shoes. Even if his eyes were blind, his hands were still smart.

Jesse busy: "Uncle Phil, Lord Lord is here. Lord Lord has something to do with you."

"Oh, Lord Lord, old Phil said hello to Lord Lord." The old tanner hurriedly got up from his chair, bowed and salute, and his hands trembled like ordinary people saw the Lord.

Liszt looked at the narrow, shady leathersmith's shop. It can be seen that the shop has been in disrepair for many years, and the sun on the roof can be seen on the roof.

Like the old tanner, he revealed signs of aging and decay.

"Old Phil, don't be nervous, I'm here just to talk to you."

The old tanner's cloudy eyes could not see any emotional changes.

But Liszt felt that his opponent's hands had quickly stopped trembling-this was not the tension being eased, it looked more like stopping the performance. The previous tension might just be pretended. This is easy to understand, after all, nobles like to see civilians trembling in front of themselves.

The old man, who has been getting old, has already learned to deal with life: "Master Lord, it is the honor of Old Phil to chat with the noble you."

"You begged to settle in the town of flowers ten years ago. So, where are you originally from?"

"I was born on Dudu Island, Lord Lord."

"Crossing the Island?"

"It's a desert island without a lord, and it's still farther north of Coral Island. There is a kind of dodo on the island, it can't fly, it sounds like shouting 'dudu', and there is a particularly tall tree The name is terrifying. It is called a human skull tree. The fruit is called a human skull fruit. "

"Human skull tree?"

"Yes, Lord Lord, the fruit is white, it looks like a human skull from a distance. But the taste is delicious. The indigenous people on the island are filled with human skull fruit, and the dodo also eats human skull. Fruit, but dodo meat is particularly unpalatable and life on the island is very difficult. "

Howling like a dodo.

Reminded Liszt of the extinct dodo on earth.

I do n’t know if the Dodo here is the same species as the Dodo on earth.

那么 "So, how did you come to Coral Island from Dodo? You were born on Dodo. It should be a local aboriginal, so where did the indigenous people of Dodo come from?" Liszt asked.

外围 There are still many undeveloped desert islands outside the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and Dudu Island should be one of them.

"I am a native of Dudu Island. I do n’t know where we came from. Everyone remembers living on the island of Dodo. Later, the Dodo volcano erupted and the human skull tree was destroyed. Without food, we had to cut down trees Become a canoe and drift along the sea ... I was then drifting to the hot spring island and being an apprentice of a tannery. "

Later stories, Hot Spring Island suffered a war, and he was sold to Coral Island as a slave. It was bought by a baron on the island at that time. Later, the baron followed the count to the battlefield and never returned. The territories were all dead. The serfs feared punishment and began to flee.

The old tanner also fled.

I walked all the way to the town of flowers.

"At that time, all serfs were rumored that the baron was killed because the servant from his serf's side betrayed him from the knight. The followers were very angry and decided to slaughter all the serfs in the territory and avenge the baron ..." the old leathersmith said of this In the past, he groaned, perhaps lamenting his ignorance.

This is a low-level rumor, and the aristocracy attaches great importance to serfs.

The correct opening posture should be-the baron was killed without an heir, and the lord he followed, that is, the Count of Coral Island, took back the ownership of the territory, including the serfs.

All in all, the life of the old leathersmith is not ups and downs, nor is he a "story" person. Even his blindness is naturally lost in the town of flowers.

I barely count it as the story of the Dudu Island native.

Liszt carefully asked about the situation of crossing the island ~ www.readwn.com ~ I found that it is only a small island with no more than 300 indigenous people on the island. It was eventually destroyed by a volcanic eruption, except for the few remaining human skull trees. There is probably no development value.

He was a little disappointed.

The man who originally thought that the smoke mission was specifically mentioned should be a little mysterious, but it was not an ordinary indigenous person.

He still intends to continue to complete the task, and the book that was rewarded—bringing Jesse together is to give Jesse the son of an old leathersmith—a fatherless motherless orphan, a childless and widower, two It is very popular, and it should be easy to form a contract father and son.

But suddenly, he had a bold idea.

"Why should I follow in the footsteps of the smoke task, I am not its 傀儡, I can directly ask the old leathersmith for that book, instead of relying on the task to get the book!"

斯特 Liszt doesn't think there will be a lot of books in the old leathersmith.

and so.

He said directly, "Old Phil, I heard you have some books in your collection, I hope you sell them to me."

The Lord Lord spoke, and the old tanner did not dare to disobey. He immediately agreed: "Yes, Lord Lord, I have a collection of books, but there is only one, and I will dedicate it to Lord Lord." After that, he leaned on his back, With Jesse's help, he pulled out a wooden box from the cabinet full of leather shoes.

"Jessie, the book is in the box, and you should give it to Lord Lord."

Jesse opened the box, took out a thick book, and handed it to Liszt. Liszt glanced over and found that the book was not printed, but handwritten notes, with snake text and another foreign language written on the cover.

文字 He doesn't know foreign languages.

Viper text is known-"The Diary of Philip Sun's Descendants".
