Chapter 1940 Questioning

Elder Meira's eyes flashed with fire, and he gritted his teeth, but he didn't want to get angry. After a few seconds of embarrassment, he snorted coldly and turned around to return to his original position.

Although some of the ministers were in the same boat as Elder Meira, they all remained silent and stood aside with their necks hunched and their heads drooped, watching what happened.

Although they turned a blind eye to Elder Mela's weakness and seemed unloyal, in fact, these were smart people.

The boss in charge of Moonlight City is the Fairy Queen. No one dares to express their opinions easily until she speaks.

Furthermore, the person who was quarreling with Elder Mela was also an elder. Although he was young, he had the same status as Elder Mela. As a subordinate, it was best not to get involved in the quarrel between leaders at the same level. , if the words are too serious and this foreign elder takes care of him, he will be offended in the future.

Of course, the reason is not only the above two points, but also a more important point - this foreign elder is the grandson-in-law of the Fairy Queen, and this is already a certainty.

The Fairy Queen is old, but her granddaughter is still young. After registration in the future, the grandson-in-law will inevitably interfere in the government affairs.

Despite his usual playful smile, he is actually ruthless and ruthless when facing his compatriots, let alone foreigners - but don't forget, this kid has killed many elven nobles, and even the great nobles have not been able to kill him. Can be spared.

Taking a closer look, the only people in Moonlight City who have not been poisoned by it are the two majesties and the elders.

Ideas such as these came from the mouths of ministers, and were collected and submitted to me after being recorded through wiretaps by members of the intelligence department under Boss Lane.

After looking at them one by one, I almost understood what almost half of the ministers present thought of me, and naturally I understood the reason for their silence.

When the hall returned to silence, the Fairy Queen said, "Explain what you said, Xiaoyi. I'm also very curious about what 'both yes and no' means."

"Yes." I bowed slightly and said, "I found the giant dragon skull in the Gobi Desert at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. When I found it, only the skull was left, so it was rumored that I killed the dragon. invalid."

"Then what about 'yes'?"

"Although the dragon only has its skull left, it still has a soul attached to it. It can summon the ghosts of the dead and some strange creatures that I have never seen before, and command them to attack me. I was in danger several times, and finally killed them one by one. And used the remaining power to kill the dragon skull, because there is still some dragon strength left in the dragon skull, so it can hardly be regarded as killing the dragon."

"In other words, what you killed was actually just the dragon's skull?" The Fairy Queen asked, "Could it be breathing dragon breath?"

"Yes," I said, "It was the highly poisonous dragon's breath. When it was sprayed on my body, the pain was unbearable and even my clothes were corroded. Fortunately, I was immune to the poison and had external blessings, so I survived. "

After hearing this, the Fairy Queen nodded and said, "Since you can breathe out dragon breath, you can still be called a giant dragon, so Xiaoyi, your dragon slaying act is solid, and you are worthy of the title of dragon slaying hero."

"I'm sorry, Grandma Queen." I bowed again and said, "Please take back the title of dragon-slaying hero. I am not qualified."

"How dare you refuse to accept the title given by His Majesty!" Elder Lindsay raised her eyebrows: "Are you going to resist the decree?"

"Elder Lindsay," I frowned, quite dissatisfied: "The matter of not being granted a reward has, firstly, not shaken the foundation of Moonlight City, secondly, it has not undermined the cohesion of the people, and thirdly, it has not disturbed the court, and I also refuse to be granted the reward. The reason is just because His Majesty didn't ask, so I didn't tell you. Why are you so eager to convict me? Even if you are a prisoner, you have to go to court several times at least."

"Your Majesty is a descendant of the ancient heritage. Today's Holy King, her will must be beneficial to Moonlight City. As an elder of a foreign race, you are both a minister and a junior. When faced with the reward, not only are you not happy to accept it, but you are Is this kind of behavior harmless to Moonlight City if I reject it outright?"

"Whether it is harmful or not is not your decision. It depends on whether the country can operate as usual." I said unhurriedly: "Under the wise leadership of your two majesties, Moonlight City is developing in a more prosperous direction. As for me, This title of 'Dragon-Slaying Hero' is just a catalyst in the development process, and it is also unstable. It may accelerate the development of the country, or it may push the development of the country into a detour. In this case, it is better not to With this seal, the country can still move forward slowly towards a better future."

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet." The Elf Queen said, "As for whether Elder An Xiaoyi disobeyed the decree or not, this topic is not suitable for discussion here. It is better to move it to after dinner and use it as a discussion topic. Elder Lindsay, what do you think? "

Elder Lindsay lowered her head silently, closed her eyes and said, "Yes."

The Elf Queen looked at me, her eyes full of expectation: "Elder An Xiaoyi, please tell me the reason why you refuse to be granted the title."

"Yes," I said, "I refuse to be granted the title because I don't think the act of slaying the dragon is a heroic act."

"Oh?" Everyone was suspicious.

The Goblin Queen spoke at this time: "Before the goblin rule, the dragon was known as one of the disasters. How can it not be a heroic act to eliminate the disasters?"

"Yes, you are right. In ancient times, humans did regard giant dragons as a kind of disaster, but have you ever thought about whether their definition of giant dragons is correct?"

"How dare you!" Elder Si Boling glared at me and said, "How dare you question the wisdom of our ancestors!"

"Ancestors are also human beings, Elder Si Boling," I said calmly, "As long as we are human beings, we will make mistakes, especially in our understanding of unknown things."

"The dragon is very powerful, so powerful that it far exceeds the scope of human cognition. But before the dragon's skull died, I had a conversation with it. Please forgive me for not revealing the content of the conversation to everyone present, because it concerns me. For privacy, I just want to say that dragons have thoughts and feelings. Just like us, they also have childhood and old age, get sick, and die. The only difference is that they are very powerful, and we It is very weak, but this does not hinder communication. However, the dragon told me before it died that since it came to Zephyr Continent, no human beings it has encountered have been willing to take the initiative to communicate with it. Basically, they start fighting when they encounter it. , if you can’t fight, run for your life, these are the only two situations.”

"In fact, not to mention giant dragons, even humans would be very unhappy if they encountered the same situation as giant dragons. In addition, most giant dragons are like fire. It is conceivable that they are powerful and furious. He will definitely not be gentle to us."

The Fairy Queen nodded: "Tell me your conclusion."

"Yes," I said, "I think the main reason why the dragon became a disaster is our unfriendliness."
