Chapter 1537 Lie!!!
"What's happening here?"

Had was looking at the wine glass in his hand in a daze. The noise around him made this old man who was obsessed with forging vision feel a little uncomfortable.

This was a city he had never been to, but fortunately the underground tavern he was in was one he was familiar with, the popular Dionysus Tavern under the Hermes Travel Hat.

When he was in Balkan City, he was a regular customer of the Dionysus Tavern.

At that time, the door was firmly locked with an iron lock, and he, a mere mortal, could not move it. He thought that if the price of opening the door was to bear the curse of God and die without a burial place, he would light the fire, pull the bellows, and forge his last weapon while dying.

As a result, the curse was lifted and everyone could knock on the door, but he was unable to push it open and even thought of using crooked means.

"Why do you have such a gloomy face? The big boss behind the Hermes Traveling Hat is making you a cocktail." Cyrene stood at the bar, mixing cocktails while livening up the atmosphere of the Dionysus Tavern with the slogan "Black Beast Knight Blaze will pay for everything today."

"Ah~ Are you still thinking about the fact that you took a crooked approach? I told you that it was a very good idea, but you were not capable enough to turn it into a crooked approach."

The corner of Had's eye twitched. Even though he was now heartbroken, he couldn't help but want to splash the wine in his hand on Kullene's face.

"So why refuse?" Kullene wiped the table with a rag. The stains appeared again and again, as if they could never be wiped clean.

Had looked at the ripples in the wine glass, not knowing how to answer. He refused the fruit slice that Kullene handed over, which contained the wisdom of the dwarves.

It’s not that he felt that Cyrene was tempting him and waiting to laugh at him, but he thought it was meaningless, as he gained the knowledge behind the door without opening it.

This is cheating.

If he really wanted to use the wisdom of the dwarves, he would have accepted it long ago.

But these words, contrary to his desire to open the door by resorting to unorthodox means, seemed both funny and pathetic.

"I know what you're thinking. This is normal. If a person's morals were corrupted and he could fall into evil ways, then the world would have been full of evil long ago."

“Only those who persist and endure hardships without reward are qualified to fall. The others are just indulgences.”

"Then you think I am unqualified to fall?"

"Yes~ But who would watch such a person fall into depravity?" Kullene supported her hands on the table and looked down at Hader. "That's why I helped you and gave you the wisdom of the dwarves. I just didn't expect you to refuse."

“So I’m trying to convince you now.”

"By consuming the wisdom of the dwarves, I will be able to possess the knowledge behind the door. Using the knowledge behind the door, I can forge mythical equipment to open the door, but... that is always a lie."

"So this is what you care about. So what if it's a lie? Just lie!"

Culene suddenly jumped onto the table and yelled to everyone in the tavern.

"Everyone! Are you happy today?"

Everyone in the tavern was stunned and no one answered.

The question of whether you are happy is quite philosophical. Maybe you are happy when you don’t think about it, but once you start thinking about it, you may no longer be happy.

"Those who answer "happy" will also receive a luxurious fruit plate from Hermes' Travel Hat's president, Herbie Hermes!"

"happiness!!!"

The Dionysus Tavern immediately became noisy, and Had shook his head helplessly.

"When they answer happiness, isn't that just lying to get a free fruit plate? What's the point?"

"Are you an old stubborn person? Don't adults lie just to get something?" Cyrene stood on the table. The Dionysus Tavern was bustling with joy, but he looked a little lonely. "A gentleman must lie, tell many, many lies."

"Tell the children that we are aware and we have a solution. We will not despair, we will not be afraid, and we will not degenerate. We will walk in front and protect you. We are behind you."

"Then tell those lies for the rest of your life, and no one will know they are lies except you."

"So, Fire Rabbit Hader, lie."

Cyrene crouched down and looked Hader straight in the eyes.

"Eat the wisdom of the dwarves, and tell your students, tell Blaze, you have opened the door, you have gained wisdom, and you can continue to teach them a lot of knowledge as a teacher."

"Tell this lie your whole life, keep climbing to the peak of forging skills to make it come true, and finally take this lie to the grave. Then the praise of the world will become the truth."

"It sounds like I made a profit." Hader smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine. "The liar ended up with a monument."

"It would be great if there really was such a good thing. It's not that easy to tell a lie for a lifetime. Even a vicious villain or a god who is a habitual liar may want to tell someone that he is lying occasionally, but that's not allowed because that's the punishment for lying."

Cyrene brought a fruit plate to Had. It was a plate with only one piece of fruit flesh, but it was the most expensive fruit plate in the entire Dionysus Tavern.

"Can you lie about being happy for the rest of your life?"

Accept the fruit plate and tell a lie.

"You are really direct. Aren't you worried that I will still refuse?" Had laughed and reached out to take the fruit plate.

Getting something you don't deserve will be punished, and telling a lie your whole life is the punishment.

In the end, he couldn't bear to stop here and go no further, so he had to pay the price for his desires.

He wanted to keep swinging the hammer in order to gain this wisdom that did not belong to him and see the scenery that did not belong to him, and to build a huge monument to cover up the lies he was telling at this moment.

[Fire Rabbit Hader is a great forger]

This lie will follow him until his death.

"I originally wanted to make it into juice and mix it into the wine for you to drink. But I have lived for so many years and seen so many things. Among the many lessons I have learned, one is that being too smart will inevitably backfire."

Kullene shrugged and put on a winking smile again, like a clown who wanted to amuse everyone with his own funny and bad luck.

"I will thank you, God."

"Don't thank God, Hud. God helps people only for his own pleasure."

Had put the fruit slice containing the dwarf's wisdom into his mouth, chewed it, and drank it all mixed with wine.

boom--

Hard put down his glass and burped drunkenly.

"What about you? Are you doing this for your own happiness as well?"

"Had, I'm not a god, just a man who has lived for a very long time." Kullene put her index finger on her lips and showed a meaningful smile.

"As to whether this is a lie or not, I'll leave it to you to guess."
