lord and his dragon

In the former Hugh Nuoding family, Negrim was an insignificant illegitimate child.

His father is the second son of Hugh Nordin's family, and his mother is a beautiful but black-haired low-level prostitute. The stupid prostitute who was fed up with bullying left the son of Baron Hugh Nordin in an attempt to use this child to become a nobleman. But as a result, she was beaten to death by her servants. Although Negrim was left in the Xiu Nuoding house, she became the target of teasing and beating by those cousins ​​and even servants.

When Negrim was seven years old, he was pushed from the balcony on the second floor and broke his left leg. Negrim, who was not treated in time, became crippled, but no one cared what happened to him, except For those noble children of Negrim, Negrim's flaws became another reason to be bullied.Innocent children don't know what cruelty is, let alone children who were pampered by noble families. Negrim is struggling to live under the torture of those brothers and sisters, and there is almost no hope for life.

Finally, when he was ten years old, things changed.

The old Golden Feather King died, and his two sons had internal strife. Little Milwes killed his brother who was supposed to inherit the throne and became the new king, but his throne was not glorious, so he A new group of nobles loyal to him is needed to consolidate his rule.

The new king charged the old nobles who supported his brother with various crimes, deprived them of their titles, and confiscated their property. The Xiunoting family was originally a neutral noble, but who told this family to be too large and wealthy? The king finally included them in the hunting range. For a while, the high-ranking nobles were imprisoned and became prisoners worse than the poor.

Negrim was caught and taken to prison with his servants, but he didn't feel scared—nothing scared him more than his cousins ​​who beat him and forced him to eat mud. When the number of people decreased one by one, and they were dragged out crying and beheaded, Negrim was even excited. He couldn't wait for the group of people to die, and even regretted that he couldn't personally watch the appearance of those brutal young nobles being executed. .

If things had gone their way, Negrim would have seen those damned brothers die, but he would undoubtedly have buried them with them.Fortunately, the new king began to lose control of his subordinates in this short period of time. He killed too many old nobles, and the newly climbed people began to get carried away. Little Milwes couldn't let this situation continue, Hugh The Notting family couldn't collapse so quickly and easily become the nourishment of those upstarts, so this became an opportunity for Negrim.

The least favored and handicapped child is rescued from prison and becomes the heir to the Hugh Nordin family.

At that time, Negrim didn't know what happened. When he was washed clean and inexplicably took the position of Hugh Nordin's Patriarch, he thought that His Majesty the King was his savior, and he even sincerely wanted to be loyal to him and become His Majesty's loyal dog.

Until he was summoned, His Majesty the King kindly asked him if he wanted the archbishop to heal his lame leg.

At that time, Negrim realized that there is no so-called savior in this world, and no one will treat him well for no reason at all. His Majesty the King who liberated him from hell has already dug for him. Another grave.

This tomb was much neater and more refined than the Hugh Nordin family had prepared for him, but it was a tomb after all.

Negrim rejected the "good intention" of His Majesty the King. He timidly told the other party that he was afraid of pain, so let this leg continue to be damaged. Anyway, he became the head of Hugh Nordin's family, and he would no longer have to walk by himself. .

The king was very satisfied with his answer, Negrim survived and successfully inherited the Hugh Nuoding family, although after three years, Hugh Nuoding was completely hollowed out by those malicious wolves.

But just like what Negrim once said to Abel, everything in the past is clearly remembered in his mind, whether it is the abuse of Hugh Nordin's family, or the king's calculations and the upstarts who snatched from him. He kept all the property he left in his heart, and sooner or later, he would get it all back.

This lame leg is also a debt of Negrim's dignity. Of course, it cannot be cured by the Elf Queen before it is recovered.

Negrim had never mentioned these things to Abel before, and he did not plan to mention them in the future. This was his business, and Abel didn't need to know so much.

In the face of Abel's inquiry, Nigrim talked about him left and right, and Abel had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, he was teased enough by Nigrim's use of the Tinder Rabbit.

When it came to the orc tribe, Abel no longer wanted to hear the word Tinder Rabbit.

But it seems that everyone in this world is going against Abel. When Negrim and Abel saw the Beastmaster, the other party was wagging his tail and lying on a pile of velvet rabbits to keep warm. He held up a rabbit that was kicking on its hind legs very friendly, and asked Negrim, "Lord Dragon, do you want a Tinder rabbit?"

Abel: "..."

Negrim: "...ha."

Before the Beastmaster began to promote the benefits of the Tinder Rabbit, Negrim, who did not intend to really make his dragon angry, smiled and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but no need, there are already pets in the castle, and they will fight of."

Abel: "..."

Abel's expression was very interesting, but Negrim didn't have much time to appreciate it. He turned to look at the Beastmaster who took back the rabbit angrily, and explained his purpose for coming this time.

Compared with the other two races, it took a longer time for orcs and humans to get along with each other. After all, the first thing for orcs to make friends is to fight first to determine the strength of each other, because humans do not have this It took a long time for the orcs to restrain their instincts, but before that, Negrim still received several cases of orcs hurting people, which led to the fact that the orcs have the worst reputation among humans until now. that.

But it's just a reputation for being rude and warlike. Orcs don't kill or rob, and this doesn't prevent humans from making deals with them.

The overall conditions of the Beastmen were better than when they first came to Negrim, but the biggest change was still the Beastmaster’s tent, where the furnishings were replaced with better materials, such as ivory, fur, thicker blankets, and more Exquisite food, the wealth and treasures obtained by the orc clan from transactions are basically concentrated in the Beastmaster, and are not used to improve the lives of all members like centaurs and elves.

Negrim limited the number of monsters that flowed out of the marginal forest every month. First, the orcs would not wantonly destroy the habitats of the monsters in the forest. However, after talking with the Beastmaster, Nigrim found that things didn’t seem to be developing as he imagined. The Beastmaster didn’t think that the herbivorous orcs who could earn more gold coins stably needed to be taken seriously, but just squeezed them. Even more powerful.

It seems that this is the most fundamental conceptual problem of the orcs, just like they used to hate humans, unless something happens that shakes the entire orcs, it cannot be easily changed.

Negrim also didn't plan to persuade the Beastmaster to make any changes, because he knew that the other party would not listen. After mentioning the birthday, he bid farewell to the Beastmaster and took Abel to the dwarves.

When Negrim entered the forest this time, he brought a load of gifts, basically all of which were prepared for the dwarves. When he left the forest last time, his identity was only kept in the dark by the dwarves. Even after the king expressed his anger at the attendant, Negrim couldn't find time to see him.

Although later every time a waiter brought a gift to visit the dwarf king, the other party accepted the gift, but I am afraid that the dwarf king will not welcome Negrim in person this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Negrim got out of the carriage, the noisy dwarves who had gathered around widened their eyes and fell silent instantly.

Negrim looked at the group of quiet "potatoes" silently for a long time, and said, "Can anyone inform the dwarf king? The dragon lord came to visit him, and also came to apologize for the lie he told earlier. "

As soon as these words came out, the dwarves burst into laughter. Some of them ran to find the dwarf king on short legs, but more stayed around, looking at Negrim curiously.

They had actually seen Negrim before. After all, when Negrim left with the Dragon Book, all the dwarves chased him out. His altitude was too high for the dwarves, even the furthest You can also see his back in that wave.

But at that time, the dwarves only regarded him as an ordinary human being. Of course, looking at an ordinary wine merchant was different from seeing a lord. thin……

Fortunately, Negrim was used to being stared at by people, and he didn't feel any discomfort when he was stared at by a group of dwarves. Instead, he calmly waited for the reply from the group of messenger dwarves.

The dwarf king's attitude towards Negrim is very complicated.

When he first found out the truth about Negrim's identity, the dwarf king was very angry. If it wasn't for the gift brought by the messenger, he didn't even want to sign that shitty contract. After the benefits of the dwarf gradually appeared, the dwarf king was not so angry. Even later, when the envoys came to visit one after another, even when there was no sign of Negrim, he began to miss Negrim a little. .

The dwarves also value friendship very much. Every time the dwarf king thinks of what Negrim said to him at the beginning, he feels that it is very reasonable. The dragon lord is indeed a smart and good person. Although he deceived himself , but what he did was good!

But the mood is like this, when I can't see a person, I only think about his well-being, maybe I have news about him, but I get angry again.

The dwarf king was sitting in his room, as usual, thinking about when the dragon lord would come to see him in person, and the dwarf king thought, if the dragon lord came to him, he would not be angry with him. It's about having a good talk with him. After all, he is such a calm and rational dwarf king. What can't be said properly?

As a result, at this moment, the door of his house was knocked open with a "coax", and more than a dozen dwarves rushed in, shouting: "Boss! The Dragon Lord is looking for you!"

The dwarf Wang Dang was taken aback for a moment, then he got up and said, "Really?! He came by himself?! Isn't it a messenger?"

A dwarf said gruffly, "It's the dragon lord himself!"

When the dwarf king heard it, he couldn't remember what was in his mind just now. There was no rationality or calmness at all, and he shouted angrily: "Damn dragon lord! How dare you lie to us! And he hasn't been in person for so long! Come and apologize! I must teach him a lesson!"

The dwarves didn't dare to say anything, and ran out after him. After a while, the two sides met.

As soon as Negrim saw the expression on the dwarf king's face, he knew that the other party was still angry. Fortunately, the dwarves signed the contract and tasted the sweetness of trading with humans. No matter how impulsive the dwarf king was, it was impossible for him to really do something , although there was a reason for the incident, he was indeed the one who lied. For the stability of the relationship between the two parties, Negrim didn't mind apologizing.

As soon as the dwarf king came over, he saw Negrim sighed and said to him before he had time to inquire about the crime, "I'm really sorry, I couldn't tell you my real identity at the beginning, and because the affairs in the castle were really serious Too many, I didn't take the time to apologize in person, I also brought a gift this time, do you still want to blame me?"

As soon as Negrim opened his mouth, all the dwarf king wanted to say was blocked back, his face was bruised, he should continue to blame the other party, it seemed that he was stingy, don't blame him, he was still angry in his heart, okay It took a long time to hum and chirp: "Hmph! You could have lied to me before, who knows if what you are saying now is true!"

When Negrim saw his reaction, he almost understood what the dwarf king was thinking, and said with a smile: "I have already come in person, can't I express my heart? If you still don't want to forgive me, then I will I can only go back now, and continue to communicate with messengers in the future."

Although the dwarf king was angry that Negrim had deceived them, he had waited for a long time for Negrim to come, how could he want him to leave like this, and immediately said anxiously: "Sly human! Don't go! Forgive you, forgive you! Can't I forgive you?"

As soon as the dwarf king called out, the other dwarves followed suit, and the dragon lord didn't lie to them. Rather than being angry, they were actually more curious about Negrim, and the other party had single-handedly promoted the dwarves and humans. Their cooperation has brought a lot of novelties in their lives, and so many humans boast about their craftsmanship, which greatly satisfies the vanity of the dwarves. Most of the dwarves actually like Negrim quite a lot.

Seeing this, Negrim went down the steps and walked into the dwarf city with the dwarf king.

The changes of the dwarves are actually not that obvious from the outside, but Negrim is the clearest about the export volume of the dwarves' weapons, and the dwarves are very easy to coax, so they are not worried at all that they will be in the dwarves. When there was any problem in the communication with human beings, after handing over the gift he brought to the dwarf king, he directly raised the matter of the birthday.

The dwarf king had no idea that Negrim was here to invite them to the birthday celebration. He was very happy when he heard that, and wanted to hold it up to ask Negrim to say something nice, but when Negrim mentioned the banquet, he was very happy. There will be endless wine to drink, the dwarf king is only worried that Negrim will withdraw the invitation, so he immediately agreed.

At this point, Negrim's purpose of coming out of the marginal forest this time has been completed, but he does not intend to let the dwarf king think that he has not had much sincerity in coming this time. Very, so compared to the other three races, they stayed in the dwarves for a while longer, and it wasn't until the dwarf king finished talking that Negrim proposed to leave.

The dwarf king originally wanted to keep him bragging for a while, but Negrim said: "It's late November now, and the birthday celebration still needs to be arranged, I have to hurry back, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late. "

The birthday is the most important festival for all living beings on the mainland. As soon as the dwarf king heard that it was related to the celebration, he knew that the time in Negrim could not be delayed any longer, so he said: "It must be done sooner." Go back, but when you go, take the weapon we forged for you with you."

Negrim was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the emissary had actually reported to him that the dwarves were going to forge an artifact for him to express their gratitude. Nigrim was quite interested at first, but it took too long to create the artifact. , and he himself doesn't know how to fight, so he forgot about it. Now that the dwarf king talked about it again, it aroused Negrim's curiosity again.

"Have you created the artifact?"

When the dwarf king heard this, he couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment, and said, "Sacred artifacts... divine artifacts can't be made so easily."

It is true that artifacts are not so easy to build. Apart from materials and techniques, it depends more on luck. A dwarf master has created artifacts once, but it does not mean that he will be able to create them in the future, not to mention that the current dwarves actually have There has been no artifact for hundreds of years. This time, in order to thank Negrim for its help to the dwarves, the dwarf king used the power of the whole clan to consume countless materials and destroy countless failed products. In the end, he only created one that was close to Artifact weapon.

However, they boasted that Haikou was going to build an artifact, so the dwarf king was quite embarrassed. If it wasn't for this being the pinnacle work they created, he would definitely not have decided to give this fake artifact to Ni Graham.

Negrim was not disappointed. After all, artifacts were almost all recorded in books, and the real ones had long been lost. It was already a great thing that he could get the closest weapon from the dwarves. It's not easy. If you have to be picky, with the dwarves' stubborn personality, you might destroy it on the spot, and then get into the horns, and don't give up until you create a real artifact.

Negrim was still counting on the dwarves to sell a lot of weapons, so of course they couldn't let them all waste time on something illusory, so he smiled and said, "Pseudo-artifacts are already quite powerful. There is no other weapon more powerful than that, thank you very much for your efforts."

The dwarf king was very happy to see that Negrim was not picky, and he was so knowledgeable. However, he was not willing to let it go. After all, the dwarves never lied, and he just gave this weapon to Nigrim temporarily. Rem, still thinking secretly, wait until he really makes an artifact in the future, and then exchange it with Negrim.

Seeing that Negrim did not refuse, the dwarf king happily took him to his warehouse. After the fake artifact was forged, it was kept by the dwarf king, and no one could touch it easily.

The warehouse of the dwarf king is in the basement of the house. Although the dwarves are very powerful in making weapons, their architectural aesthetics are very rough. The pillars are dusty and look like an abandoned factory.

However, although the building is unattractive, the armor and weapons neatly hung on the walls are very dazzling. The dwarves seem to have given all the delicate and exquisite parts that they lack to the equipment they have created. Even Ni Graham couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.

The dwarf king was obviously quite satisfied with Negrim's reaction. He walked the two of them to the deepest part of the warehouse without stopping, opened a thick square box longer than Negrim, Proudly said: "That's it, the dragon gun we forged according to your name!"

As soon as the Dwarf King opened the wooden box, the dragon gun hummed. Negrim raised his eyes and found that it was a gun with a pitch-black body and azure blue tip. The gun had a dragon pattern on it. The dark pattern of the gun, the tip of the gun exudes a faint light, and one can tell that it is not ordinary.

Just as Nigrim was about to praise him, he realized that the dwarf king was looking at him expectantly. After thinking about it, Nigrim thought that the other party might want to see him pick up the dragon spear.

I also want to know that things like pseudo-artifacts are for someone to use. Its weight must be at least five hundred catties so that the person who actually uses it will not feel light. However, Negrim does not think he has the strength , Let alone pick it up, even if it is erected and let Negrim help it, he is afraid of crushing himself to death.

But the dwarf king's eyes were so earnest that Negrim had no choice but to say to Abel, "Go and try."

Abel knew that Negrim would order him, so he stepped forward and easily picked up the dragon gun. Allen had taught him everything, including how to use a gun. Abel turned around. After a few gun flowers, he walked back, crossed the gun body, and handed it to Negrim for him to check.

Negrim glanced at the gun, then looked up at Abel, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Now, he not only has a dragon, but also a dragon spear. He might be able to become a dragon knight after training in the future.

Although he knew early on that the thing was a lie.
