The Defeated Dragon

"Uncle Phil wants a son?" Jesse first glanced and nodded. "It seems like it. I heard him complain that he has no son. No one cares if he is sick."

Liszt looked at Jesse.

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

"Yes, Master, I grew up in the Coral City Welfare Institute, thank you for the generosity of the Tulip family, let us live orphans." Jesse said sincerely.

The welfare homes are the institutions where the nobility gathers orphans. The civilians always have accidents, leaving several children unattended. In order to show their kindness, some rich aristocrats will establish welfare homes on the family cland, gather orphans, and work directly for the castle when they grow up.

Jessie is such an orphan.

"Is the old cobbler at the cobbler shop now?"

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

"So Jessie, come with me, go see the old cobbler, I have something to look for."

"Okay, I will go to the master to prepare you."

On the horse's field outside the castle, there is a simple lounge, where Philip and Xavier have been staying. As a knight, they don't have the benefits of a holiday.

Seeing Liszt riding a fire dragon horse, they each rode a horse and followed Liszt.

Go to the cobbler shop.

There are basically cobbler shops in various towns. The cobbler is a craftsman who makes leather, sews leather and repairs leather shoes. In the case of subdivision, there are leather helmets, leathersmiths, vests, drummers, leather craftsmen, leather craftsmen, leather cobblers, etc., and most of them are mostly leather cobblers.

The old cobbler Phil of the flower town is the shoemaker.

In big cities, shoemakers are often rich and free, because a pair of leather shoes are hand-made and require a lot of money. But in small towns, the cobbler's treatment is poor, and few people can afford to wear leather shoes, so the cobbler shop can only be mixed - most serfs and free men, wearing wooden shoes and sandals.

Of course, more people do not wear shoes.

"Is Jessie?" The old cobbler had some hoarse voices coming from the table. He was groping for a pair of shoes, and his hands were still smart even if his eyes were smashed.

Jessie was busy: "Uncle Phil, the Lord of the Lord is coming, and the Lord Lord is looking for you something."

"Ah, Lord Lord, Old Phil is saying hello to the Lord Lord." The old cobbler hurriedly stood up from the chair and bowed, and like the lords of the common people, the nervous hands trembled.

Liszt looked at the narrow, dark cobbler shop, and it can be seen that the shop has been in disrepair for a long time, and the roof can see the sun in the sky.

Like the old cobbler, it reveals signs of old age and decay.

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

The sulky eyes of the old cobbler did not see any emotional changes.

But Liszt felt that the other's hands had quickly stopped trembled - it wasn't that tension was flattened, it looked more like stopping the show, and the previous tension might just be out. This is easy to understand. After all, the nobility likes to see the civilians shivering in front of themselves.

The elderly, who have been old, have already learned to live with life: "The Lord of the Lord, it is an honor for the old Phil to chat with the noble."

"You were begging to settle in the town of flowers ten years ago, then, where are you from?"

"I was born on the island of Dudu, the Lord of the Lord."

"Dadu Island?"

"It is a desert island without the lord's governance, and it is still on the north side of the coral island. There is a kind of dodo in the island, it can't fly, it is like shouting 'dating', and there is a particularly tall tree. The name is terrible, called the skull tree, and the fruit of the knot is called the skull fruit."

"Human skull tree?"

"Yes, the lord, the white fruit, looks far like a human skull. But the taste is delicious. The indigenous people on the island are full of human skulls, and the dodo also eats human skulls. But the dodo meat is particularly unpalatable and the island life is very difficult."

Call it like a dodo for the ferry.

Let Lisz remember the Dodo that is extinct on Earth.

I don't know if the Dodo here is the same breed as the Dodo on Earth.

"So, how did you get to the coral island from the Dodo? You were born on the island of Dudu, it should be the local indigenous, then where did the indigenous people of the island come from?" Liszt asked.

On the outskirts of the Sapphire Grand Duchy, there are still many desert islands that have not been developed. The crossing island should be one of them.

"I am a native of the Dudu Island. I don't know where we are from. Everyone lives on the island of Dudu. After the volcano of the Dodo volcano, the human skull tree was destroyed in large quantities. Without food, we had to cut down trees. Canoeing, drifting along the sea... I was at that time, drifting to the hot spring island, and became a cobbler apprentice."

In the ensuing story, Hot Spring Island suffered a war, and he was sold as a slave to Coral Island. It was bought by a baron on the island at that time. Later, the baron followed the count on the battlefield and never returned. The territorial worms all died. The serfs feared punishment and began to flee.

The old cobbler also fled.

Go all the way to the town of flowers.

"At the time all the serfs were rumored that the baron died because the slaves from his side were betrayed him from the knight. The followers were very angry and decided to kill all the serfs on the land and revenge for the baron..." The old cobbler said this When I was in the past, I was embarrassed, perhaps lamenting my original ignorance.

This is a low-level rumor, the nobles are very concerned about serfs.

The correct opening posture should be - the baron died, no heirs, the lord he followed, the Earl of Coral Island, took back ownership of the territory, including serfs.

All in all, the life of the old cobbler is not ups and downs, nor is it a "story" person, even his eyes are naturally smashed in the flower town.

What is barely worthy of the story is the identity of the indigenous people of the island.

Liszt inquired about the situation of Dudu Island and found that it was only a small island. The island had no more than 300 indigenous people. It was eventually destroyed by volcanic eruptions. Except for the few remaining human skull trees, there is probably no development value. .

He is a little disappointed.

The person who thought that the smoke mission was specifically mentioned should be somewhat mysterious, and I did not expect it to be an ordinary indigenous.

He still intends to continue to complete the task, the book that is rewarded - with Jessie, is to give Jessie to the old cobbler to be a son - no father and no mother orphan, no child without a woman, two people It is very close to the relationship, it should be easy to form a contract father and son.

But suddenly, he had a bold idea.

"Why should I follow the footsteps of the smoke mission, I am not the embarrassment of it, I can directly ask the old cobbler for the book, instead of relying on the task to get the book!"

Liszt doesn't think there will be a lot of books that the old cobbler can have.

and so.

He said directly: "Old Phil, I heard that you have some books, I hope you sell them to me."

The lord of the Lord spoke, and the old cobbler did not dare to follow it. He immediately promised: "Yes, the lord, I have a collection of books, but there is only one, I will dedicate it to the lord." After that, he squatted, Under the help of Jesse, a wooden box was pulled out from the cabinet filled with leather shoes.

"Jessie, the book is in the box, and it is taken to the lord."

Jess opened the box, took out a very thick book, and handed it to Liszt. Liszt swept over and found that the book was not printed, but a handwritten note with a serpent and another foreign language on the cover.

He doesn't know foreign language.

The snakes are known - "The Diary of Philip Sun's Descendants."
