Jacob Green is a bard in the village of Andachi. He told people like Hans, William, Hern, and Kus a long time ago about heroic legends about dragon-slaying warriors and evil dragons, so Hans could Encourage your friends to join the team of brave Francis to slay the dragon.
In William's eyes, he was a bard who was as knowledgeable as a monastery priest. Although he did not know Latin, he could speak German, French and many other languages, and he could even engage in calligraphy.
William originally thought that Mr. Green was just an ordinary person, but he did not expect to see him in the goddess's fairy palace. After all, there are not many ordinary people who can come to the goddess' fairy palace. It seems that Mr. Green He seemed to know Liam, and the familiar Mr. Green suddenly became mysterious and unpredictable.
"What story did Mr. Green just tell?" William asked curiously.
"The story of Diarmaid, a great hero in Irish legend, is a great figure like Cu Chulainn, the Son of Light, and Lancelot, King Arthur's knight. Because there are many versions of this story, I will talk about the one I adapted. and will be passed down to future generations.”
Green appeared and put the coins in the hat into his pocket, then put the hat back on his head and said slowly, "Diarmaid is a great hero. His appearance is as handsome as Adonis in Greek mythology. , whose weapons are not inferior to those of King Arthur and Lancelot. He was once blessed by a fairy and received a love mole. Any woman who sees it will fall in love with him. However, for this great warrior, his monarch Finn and At the engagement party of Princess Granny, the daughter of King Commack, Granny fell in love with Diarmaid instantly after seeing him.”
"Granny is the incarnation of the goddess of kingship, Elius. The goddess Elius always likes younger and more powerful people to become the king of Ireland. Therefore, if Diarmaid launches a rebellion with the help of Princess Granny, then Dill Mede will become the new king, and the leader of the Fiona Knights, his monarch Finn, will become a thing of the past. However, Diarmaid did not do this. As Finn's lieutenant, his knightly honor did not allow it. He did this. The god of love Orngus was Diarmaid's adoptive father. He was saddened by what happened to his adopted son and took pity on him, so he guided the poor couple hiding in the forest to eat the magic forest pill. The fruit of the Immortal Tree of Noth was given limited immortality.”
"Why limited immortality?" William couldn't help but ask.
"Because this immortality is fragile, the fruit of the Immortal Tree can bring eternal life, but powerful magic will be broken by more powerful magic. Such immortals can often only be killed by magic more powerful than the magic of the Immortal Fruit. Finn knew that Diarmaid had a taboo that he would be killed by a wild boar, so he pretended to be reconciled with Diarmaid and deliberately lured the wild boar, which ultimately caused Diarmaid's death."
Mr. Green slowly told the story. He looked at Prince Liam and asked, "Does His Highness Prince Liam also want to participate in the tourney?"
"Of course," Liam replied, dismounting.
"Adonis was killed by a wild boar, and Diarmaid was also killed by a wild boar. Handsome young men are always tortured by fate. Prince Liam, do you think you will break through your life limit?"
Mr. Green said with a sneer. When William heard Diarmuid's story, he felt a little familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had watched a well-known island cartoon before his death, about the heroic spearman Diarmuid who was lucky enough to only have an e. .
Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Don't think that if you change English to German, I won't recognize you. Isn't this Diarmuid Diarmuid?
"I am a second-level legendary powerhouse! My story has been engraved in history. My story is a legend. I have accomplished miracles that are difficult for humans to achieve anyway. I will never be as indecisive as Diarmaid. , I am eager to win and will usher in victory.”
Liam looked at Mr. Green calmly, noncommittal about what he said.
There is a decisive difference between the first level and the second level, and even this difference cannot be smoothed out by force at all.
No matter how a knight's squire hone his skills and develops his body's strength, the upper limit of his strength has actually been determined. He will never be stronger than an elephant or swim better than a fish. It cannot see farther than an eagle. This is the limitation of the race. As long as it is a pure human being, it cannot transcend the limits of human beings and cannot be promoted to the first level.
There is no inner strength, no fighting spirit, and no spiritual power in this world.
The first level indicates that you have obtained the power of the Holy Seal, received the care of God's holy light, or that the blood of ancient pagan gods is hidden in your body, so you can transcend the limitations of the human race itself and reach the first level, but regardless of Whether it is the power of the holy seal or the power of the blood of the gods, it does not come from humans themselves, but comes from the power given by the gods.
There is no concept in this world that you can become stronger through practice, let alone become a god. Human beings have their own destiny. Human beings only have part of their destiny, and destiny places limits on human life.
Mortals can only live a limited life, their fate is doomed, and death is bound to come. Even if the knight with the Holy Seal breaks through the upper limit of human power, he will inevitably age. Even if the hero is a descendant of the gods, he will inevitably end up dead. Huang Quan reports.
Because the limit of human life is here.
In Greek mythology, the three goddesses of fate weave life for mortals, which are life lines. From the moment of birth, mortals are bound by the threads of fate and accept a limited life.
Human life is limited. People don’t want to die, but it is impossible for people not to die. The destined outcome of human life is destined to be “death”.
This is the law of the world and the arrangement of fate.
But if you can reverse the trajectory of your destiny, get rid of your "fate limit" to a certain extent, and accomplish feats that are theoretically impossible for humans, then you can upgrade yourself to the second level.
"It's a pity that your title is just a deserter." Mr. Green shook his head. "The title of deserter has certainly made you successful, but it also binds you. You enjoy the afterglow of the fate of the ancient Irish kingdom, but if you want to To win the tournament, you must defeat brave knights and noble princes one after another. They are also blessed by fate. Continuous fighting will quickly consume your few blessings of fate. .”
"The mercy of the gods and the favor of fate are not unlimited. It's just like at the card table. No matter how lucky you are, if you always have to keep gambling, then you will always lose one day, and the loser The consequence means that all the previous wins have been exported.”
Human beings have a life limit. The achievements that human beings have completed that are theoretically impossible will become legends and be remembered by history. Because they are miracles, miracles mean second-level legends.
If the brave Francis can successfully slay the dragon, as a brave man who has completed the feat of slaying the dragon, he will be awarded the title of "Dragon Slayer", which means that the recognition of his achievements is destined to be remembered by history.
It is impossible for humans to defeat the giant dragon (with the exception of dragon eggs), so defeating the giant dragon has achieved a miracle that is impossible for humans, turning the impossible into possible. This is the second level, a legend among humans.
But there is also a huge gap between the second level and the second level.
Achieving a miracle does not mean that the second level is the miracle itself. It is far from simple to achieve a miracle.
Even legendary heroes are just mortal beings after all, and they must accept their glorious fate and sad exit.
