Vol.9, the humble dragon slayer

Dragons, it seems, always have a bad image in Western myths and legends.

For example, in general, it is the dragon that destroys the city.

For another example, generally speaking, the one who snatches the princess is also an evil dragon.

The plot that often appears in Western legends is that the evil dragon destroys the city, destroys the fortress, the people are poor, and robs the princess, and then this inexplicable dragon has to stay in the nest honestly, stay at home, wait for the dragon slayer warrior to come and kill it, and then the brave man will go back with the princess and the treasure.

This kind of plot is especially common in Western novels, especially in modern online novels.

In fact, if you think about it, this kind of story is full of logical errors.

First of all, the dragon plunders treasures because of its penchant for shiny things. Let's just think so. So, why take away the princess of the human race? Most castles have treasure troves and other places, right? Shouldn't you go and snatch a lot of gold, silver and jewelry?

Secondly, as mentioned earlier, the dragon is here to destroy the castle, why is it so coincidental, but the king and princess are not killed, and the dragon will definitely snatch the princess and keep the king, instead of eating these two people.

Finally, what did the dragon do when he snatched the human woman? Even if you want to keep an offspring, obviously the species are different, for example, humans can eat pork, but I have never seen the madness of a human snatching a female wild boar cub and bringing it home to marry her.

These are stories that are made up at random to show human bravery.

Let's not talk about the authenticity of this kind of thing, but let's talk about vague images and feelings.

Dragons, always appearing as enemies of humanity.

Except for China, where the dragon is used as a totem, in most national cultures, the dragon appears as the embodiment of evil and the final boss.

And the dragon slayer often means success.

Siegfried is the dragon slayer.

Legend has it that the brave man who killed the evil dragon Valrhona, His Royal Highness the Prince, bathed in dragon blood and invulnerable.

Judging from these elements, you will probably imagine an image of a high-spirited, unruly, arrogant and confident brave man, right?

In reality, however, the impression Siegfried gives can be summed up in one word.

[Obedience].

If there is one more word to add, it is humility.

His attitude is a bit similar to Hassan's Cursed Wrist, but Cursed Wrist Hassan is because he made the choice to be sorry for Fujimaru Rika before, as the enemy of everyone, he has repeatedly tried to put her to death, so he naturally has to clamp his tail and be a man.

But Siegfried is different, he has no intersection with everyone at all, and this humility and deference can only be explained as ...... It's by nature.

He stood quietly in the corner of the room, the door unclosed, wide open, and he could be seen leaning in the corner like a wooden stake, not saying a word, clasping his hands on his chest, doing nothing.

Seeing everyone coming, he straightened up from the corner, lowered his hands, and bowed slightly to Fujimaru Rika to show respect: "Hello, Master." ”

"Hello! Siegfried! I'm here to play~"

Ritsuka Fujimaru's cheerful voice rang out in the room, and the girl with a bright smile was staring at Siegfried's sturdy body with her big eyes.

"Siegfried's words, isn't he invulnerable? Are you sure? ”

On the way over, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of Medusa and Medea, Yagi Yukisai told her what he knew about Siegfried and the song of the Nibelungen. Now her heart was filled with curiosity about the legend.

"Yes. It does have this ability. ”

Siegfried nodded, but immediately his face showed a dark color again, and continued: "I'm sorry, but this ability can't be used correctly now. I'm sorry to respond to the call with such an incomplete gesture. ”

"No, it's okay. There won't be anything like that! ”

As soon as she heard this, Fujimaru Rika felt as if she was bullying him, and hurriedly said: "Look, I am also an unsuccessful master, and everyone is incomplete~ It can be regarded as the right one." ”

"I'm sorry, I lost my words."

Siegfried bowed slightly, apologizing to her again.

In the short chat, it is not difficult to find that Siegfried is the kind of person who has a very low opinion of himself, or rather, he has almost no sense of [self], but as a hero, he is very humble, lowering his posture, giving people a feeling of inferiority.

Moreover, he is the kind of person who says very little. If he doesn't take the initiative to stir up the topic, he just stands quietly.

In fact, he had participated in the Holy Grail War, although the impression of being summoned was ambiguous - for the Servant, being summoned was like a dream, and after waking up, although he would remember some fragments and some impressions, in general, he would not have a particularly clear memory.

In the last Holy Grail War, he responded to the summons as a saber, and because of the master's rage, he understood the situation of being speechless, so he spoke less. He was already modest, but he became more humble.

"Speaking ......"

Yagi Yukisai also itched in his heart, as if Matthew worshipped Leonidas because of the Servant of the Shield. Yagi Yukisai also wanted this dragon-slaying swordsman to guide his swordsmanship.

has the ability of a servant, but the martial arts skills can't keep up, and it's useless.

"Mr. Siegfried, can I ask you about sword techniques then?"

"With all due respect, the swordsmanship of the lower part is not such a great thing, are you sure you want to learn it?"

"Where, the legendary hero is much better than a weak magician like me."

Siegfried did not refute it, it is okay to be modest, but it would be very unpleasant to force the truth out of modesty. Yagi Yukisai's swordsmanship...... It is really not in the stream, which can be seen from his action posture.

"Understood. If you don't dislike my swordsmanship. I'd love to. But...... I'm going to say at the front. ”

Siegfried rarely did not use a modest tone.

"Because of the attribute problem, you will probably be suppressed by me very much. Please take control of yourself and don't be presumptuous. ”

Siegfried's words made Yagi Yukisai stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Siegfried added, "You...... It's a dragon, right? ”

Ziegfei, who has the ability of a dragon slayer, can burst out with a crushing level of combat power gap against a servant with the attribute of a dragon.

Keenly aware of the smell of the dragon on Yagi Yukisai's body, Siegfried had such a sentence.

Dragon slayer, don't lose to dragons. If Yagi Yukisai fights against him, he who has obtained the power of King Arthur's dragon will only be pressed and beaten by Siegfried.

This is a gap in strength that cannot be bridged with training.

As long as he is still a [Dragon], he will never be able to win against Siegfried.

No matter how much sweat you have been training, if you can't achieve results, it's easy to get frustrated.

Yagi Yukisai was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

"I'm enlightened. Please advise me then, Siegfried. ”
