Chapter 766: Peerless Hero
"No, I'll smash your head first."
Bobby replied matter-of-factly, innocent that she didn't care that Jeno touched her head, but the cruel words in her mouth made Jeno freeze his hand.
Is this what it is called, to use the most obedient tone and to put the most ruthless words?
"I'm leaving, going to continue the search for the peerless hero, and then hand him the hammer that Oron entrusted to me. If you know a hero worthy of this hammer, please introduce it to me, and I will judge his qualifications and give him the hammer. ”
Poppy took the hammer, his face did not show a trace of discouragement, nor did he linger, and with small but rapid steps, he carried the hammer and walked down the mountain.
At first, she saw the bipedal wyvern besieging humans, and came to save people, but now that the people she wants to save are safe, she should continue to look for heroes.
"Wait, I know there's such a person, and she definitely fits your requirements!"
Jeno's words were like a magnet attracting steel, and he immediately caught Bobby's determined steps, and the latter turned and hurried back, looking up at Jeno with glee, his eyes full of hope, as if he wanted to grab his knees and climb into his face to listen to him say the answer.
"Tell me who she is!"
"She had long hair with two knots tied around the sides. Battle-hardened hands and a giant warhammer in his hand. Don't look at her short, but she has a brave heart that is taller than the sky. ”
Jeno looked at Poppy with clear eyes, hoping that she would see her reflection in his own eyes, but Poppy didn't put himself in the hero selection at all.
"Where is she? I'm going to find her! "Poppy can't wait to meet the hero.
Jeno has already said it, but Poppy lacks self-confidence and ego, so she never realizes that she herself could be the peerless hero that Jeno describes.
"You don't have to look for it, it's right in front of you." Jeno was speechless, he felt that except for Nora, none of the yodelers who had been to the material realm were normal.
Even though the hint was already so obvious, Poppy couldn't remember herself. Curiously, she tilted her head to the side and looked around Genno to look at the unconscious Ogvesa.
"Did you say that...... Is this knight's lady? ”
Of course, she also doubted her own judgment, she didn't think Ogwisa was a hero worthy of the Holy Hammer, because she didn't play any role in the battle with the Wyvern, and even became a liability.
How could such a person who couldn't even save herself be the hero she was looking for?
Just when Bobbi was puzzled, Jeno hugged her big face and hugged her, so that the other party's eyes were level with his own gaze: "Bobby, don't you realize it yet?" I'm talking about you! ”
"Me? How can it be? The unexpected answer made Poppy stop thinking.
"Why can't it be you. Think about it, you've defeated Independence on the frontier, defeated giant rock beasts, saved countless farms and villages, and dealt with wyverns, sick wolves, and robbers. Since the beginning of the country, he has been silently guarding this country, even the great achievements of the king and marshal are not as good as you, if you can't be regarded as the peerless hero of Demacia, how can anyone deserve this title? ”
Jeno let go of the stunned Bobby and watched the other party clutch the heavy hammer, he was afraid that holding it like this for a long time would cause too much burden on Bobby's spine.
Actually, no, the yodeler's body structure is very tough, just like a large puppet with good sewing skills, no matter how much it is torn, he just doesn't understand it.
And to be honest, not many people know about the anatomy of yodelers, and Jeno hasn't heard of a yodeler dying or being dissected anyway.
"However, on his deathbed, Oron said that only those who can protect the unity and unity of Demacia are worthy of this hammer, and what I have done is insignificant, just to help the kingdom solve some restless little problems, not a heroic deed."
Poppy's lack of confidence has become ingrained, and Jeno feels like he has to say something else to move her.
The reason why he wants to help Bobbi is because this cute little dwarf has helped him, although it is not very necessary to help, but it is really impossible to be indifferent to watch Bobbi continue to search aimlessly in Demacia, full of hope again and again and finally disappointed.
And there is something like a curse on this hammer, and the people who get the hammer end in tragedy without exception, and most of them are the result of standing up for the sake of not being able to achieve it. Only Jeno was the first to break the curse, so he couldn't let Bobby go to the trick like this.
"Then I ask you if you passed through a village where a celebration was being held for the Demon Slayer before you came to Irwindale." Jeno contacted the direction where Poppy had come, and he remembered that there was a small village over there.
"Yes, I've been chasing that demon slayer, but he always seems to be one step ahead of me." Bobby replied honestly.
"Is there a statue dedicated to the demon slayer in the village?"
"Yes, I also leaned over to take a look, he was a typical Demacian warrior, two meters tall, wearing heavy plate armor and prominent muscles. People say he's saved countless farms and villages, dealt with wyverns, sick wolves, and robbers, and I can't think of a more peerless hero, so I came to Irwindale to find him. ”
At the mention of the Demon Slayer hero, Poppy's eyes showed a look of yearning, and she felt that her little short legs were about to catch up with him.
"Then if you think about it, have you done all the things he did?"
"It seems to be ......"
"And were you seen doing these things?"
"I'm not so sure, maybe I was seen from afar......"
"Did you know that yodelers don't show their true appearance in the eyes of ordinary humans?"
Jeno asked questions again and again, leaving Poppy a little overwhelmed. She was short of breath and seemed to realize something.
"I don't know...... I don't have much memory of my kind, I just know that I'm a yodel dwarf......" Bobby replied resignedly, in fact, the source of her lack of confidence stems from her yodeler identity.
After all, being too short and having a young face means being unreliable and insecure, and this is not a face-looking society, but sometimes looking at a face can really get a lot of information.
"If you ask someone other than Oron, you'll know what you look like in the eyes of ordinary humans, and that statue portrays you exactly what you look like! In fact, what you have been looking for is the footprints you have left on this land for a long time. In people's minds, you are already the peerless hero of Demacia! ”
