After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"I know this thing should be difficult to process, but Uncle Gralin, please don't worry."

"I'll pay you the price you set."

Murphy looked at the silent Gralin and thought that he was unwilling to take the job because handling the dragon horns was too troublesome.

But it is very likely that he doesn't know how to refuse me because of the relationship between us.

So, Murphy hurriedly said the above words to him, indicating that he was willing to pay more for this commission.

However, after hearing his words, Gralin's reaction was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

"Money? What money?! I don't want any money! I won't charge you a penny for this job!"

"I got it! I'll help you now!"

"Ah? This... isn't good?"

"Not good?! What's wrong with that?! This is damn good! Hahaha!"

"..."

This time it was Murphy's turn to be stunned. Looking at the crazy dwarf in front of him, he began to think about whether his decision to hand over the dragon horn to Gralin was correct.

But at this moment, Gralin suddenly reacted and realized that the origin of this dragon horn might not be normal.

Because things like the materials from dragons are almost extinct in human countries.

Even if some people have a little bit hidden in their homes, they will never take it out.

Even if they really took it out, it would definitely not be something that a young boy like Murphy could get.

So, he decided to ask the other party.

"Hmm...boy, where did you get this dragon horn?"

"Could it be that your friend also gave it to you?"

In fact, Gralin was not willing to inquire about Murphy's news, because everyone has their own secrets.

But he was still a little worried.

What he was worried about was that if Murphy really got involved in something he shouldn't have, and took something that didn't belong to him, and someone else came to find him...

Now that I have found out clearly, if something really goes wrong I can make preparations early and see if I can help him.

Or, just take him directly to Khazad-dûm and seek the protection of the Dwarf King.

Chapter 8 Gralin's Suspicion

"Hey, kid, this dragon horn...where did you get it? Maybe it was given to you by your friend?"

After hearing Gralin's question, Murphy nodded.

He was ready to continue speaking directly along the other party's lines, which were "a gift from a friend."

"Yes, it was also given to me by a friend—"

However, he stopped again halfway through his speech.

But this time it wasn't Murphy's newly awakened interest that was at work.

It was because he suddenly thought that as long as he showed Gralin his current strength, he might be willing to reveal that person's information to him.

Because if the other party believes that his strength can protect himself, perhaps he will not be so entangled.

So, Murphy thought for a moment.

Then, under Gralin's somewhat confused gaze, he changed his words and spoke again.

"Do not......"

"This dragon horn was not actually given to me by a friend."

"It's the spoils I got after defeating the dragon."

"..."

Of course, Gralin couldn't believe what Murphy said.

Moreover, because the other party's boasting was a little too much, he didn't know what to say now.

Just now, he thought that Murphy had completely matured, but he didn't expect that he would actually say such big words.

Let’s not talk about whether there are dragons on this continent now. Even if there are, it is not something that Murphy can deal with.

Gralin admitted that maybe Murphy had become much stronger than before, but it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the dragon.

Because this is not a question of strength, but a question of compatibility.

No matter how powerful a swordsman is, it is impossible to defeat a dragon whose physical defense has reached its peak.

I'm afraid he will have to use all his strength to break a hole in the dragon's scales.

Is it even possible that there isn't even a scratch?

Well, even if we assume that he is really strong enough to break the dragon's defense,

So what can he do if the dragon flies into the sky?

He can't fly, so he can't hit anything in the sky. Then, won't he just be able to passively take the beating?

Thinking of this, Gralin couldn't help but want to laugh.

Of course, he didn't hold back, but patted Murphy's arm and said with a big laugh.

"Hahahaha, kid, even though I know you're very powerful now, you still have to think carefully before you brag."

"If you can beat a dragon, then I can also fly! Hahahahaha."

Listening to Gralin's joke, Murphy did not respond. He just lowered his head and looked at the other person with a smile.

And Gralin felt a little numb from his scalp because of his gaze, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

'Hiss, could it be true? No way? It's impossible.'

"This...is not right! It must be fake! The brat is trying to bluff me!"

However, the dwarf's pride would not allow him to lose the upper hand, so he continued to stare at Murphy.

"..."

"..."

The two of them neither moved nor spoke, just looking at each other.

At this rate, the two of them might have to wait a whole day.

But in the end, Gralin was defeated.

He lowered his head and sighed, but still did not speak.

But Murphy thinks that the current situation is good enough.

So he spoke.

"Of course I can't defeat the dragon. It's the gray-hatted lady in the city."

"Gray Hat? Gray Hat... Hmm, I think I know her. What's her name? Can... Candaus?"

"It's Candice."

"Oh, yes, yes, Candice, that's the name."

Gralin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, he suddenly thought of the flaws in what Murphy had just said.

So he hurriedly brought it up to Murphy, because this would cover up the fact that he had a poor memory.

"That's not right. What does the dragon they fought have to do with you? Besides, didn't the dragon escape overseas a long time ago? How could it possibly appear on the mainland?"

"Well...it's a long story."

-------------------------------------

"..."

"Well, that's all I have to say."

Gralin listened to Murphy's words in silence, then nodded and asked slowly.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Really?"

"real."

"What about the rest of the dragon?"

"At that time, all the monsters in the maze rioted, so we didn't have time to deal with the remaining intact parts."

"This horn was directly blown off by magic, and Candice is a magician, so she has no use for things like dragon horns."

"So she just gave it to me as a reward for helping her."

"..."

Gralin was silent because Murphy's answer was very smooth and didn't seem to be made up.

He fell into deep thought, using his not-so-flexible brain to think over the details of what Murphy had just said, and to decide whether he should believe her or not.

"That's what happened. Uncle Gralin, please don't tell anyone."

However, at this moment, he heard what Murphy said again, and the content of this sentence forced his thinking to be interrupted.

Because he felt that he, a dwarf, was being provoked by the other party.

"Hmph! Don't worry! Dwarves are different from humans. We won't reveal our secrets!"

"No! You almost fooled me. I haven't even said I believe it yet!"

This is what Gralin said, but even he knew that he actually began to believe what Murphy said.

There is no problem with the logic, the content is very reasonable, the sentences are very fluent, and the dragon horn was indeed brought back.

And you will know if you just look closely at the dragon horn.

It was obvious that the root of the dragon horn had just been broken off, and there was still some dirt on the surface that had not been cleaned up.

So, Gralin did believe what Murphy said...partly.

The reason for the conversation just now was that Murphy briefly told Gralin about the incident in the maze.

What he said was basically the same as what he had experienced.

Of course, he modified some of it.

For example, he did not mention the maze city, nor the group of kind monsters, nor the goddess.

Because there is no point in saying all this now. Gralin won't go down the maze anyway, and he has no chance of encountering monsters.

Moreover, Gralin is still in the stage of hating the demons. In addition, he has never been to the maze city in person and has not seen the true appearance of those monsters.

So it would be useless even if Murphy told him the truth directly.

Because of his extremely bad impression of the demons, he would never believe Murphy's words.

Maybe Gralin will even say that Murphy has mental problems.

Chapter 9 Questioning

Murphy made a decision secretly.

"If there's a chance in the future, take him to the maze and slowly tell him the truth."

This is the decision he made.

After all, if there is really a chance, it is better to try to let those you trust know the truth of the matter.

In fact, in addition to what he said before, Murphy also deleted the part about his injury and the mastermind behind the scenes, and then increased his role in the dragon slaying process.
