Dragons always seem to have a bad image in Western myths and legends.
For example, generally speaking, it is the evil dragon that destroys the city.
For another example, generally speaking, the one who steals the princess is also an evil dragon.
A plot that often appears in Western legends is that the evil dragon destroys the city, destroys the fortress, makes the people miserable, and steals the princess. Then after this inexplicable dragon steals the princess, it will stay in its lair and never leave.
Wait for the brave dragon slayer to come and kill it, and then the brave man will go back with the princess and the treasure.
This kind of plot is particularly common in Western novels—especially modern online novels.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this kind of story is completely full of logical errors.
First of all, let's assume that dragons rob treasures because they like shiny things. Let's think of it that way. Then, why do they rob human princesses? Most castles have a treasure trove, right? No.
Should I go and steal tons of gold, silver and jewelry?
Secondly, as mentioned before, the dragon came to destroy the castle, but it was such a coincidence that the king and princess were spared and not killed. Moreover, the dragon would definitely snatch the princess and leave the king instead of eating these two people.
Finally, what on earth do dragons want to do by snatching away human women? Even if they want to leave offspring, obviously the species are different. For example, humans eat pork, but I have never seen a human snatch away a female wild boar cub and take it with him.
It’s a crazy thing to go home and prepare to get married to her.
This kind of story is a story that is randomly compiled to show human bravery.
Let’s not talk about the authenticity of this kind of thing, let’s just talk about the vague image and feeling.
Dragons always appear as enemies of humans.
Except for China, which has the dragon as its totem, in most national cultures, the dragon appears as the incarnation of evil and the final boss.
And being a dragon slayer often means success and fame.
Siegfried is the dragon slayer.
According to legend, the brave man who killed the evil dragon Favna, His Highness the Prince, was bathed in dragon blood and a great hero who was invulnerable.
From these elements, you can probably imagine an image of a high-spirited, unruly, arrogant and confident warrior, right?
However, in fact, Siegfried's impression can be summed up in one word.
【obedience】.
If there is one more word to add, it would be [humility].
His attitude is a bit similar to that of Hassan who cursed Arms, but Hassan cursed Arms because he had made a choice that was sorry for Fujimaru Ritsuka. As an enemy of everyone, he had repeatedly tried to kill her, so he naturally had to keep his tail between his legs.
But Siegfried is different. He has never interacted with anyone at all. This humility and submissiveness can only be explained as...his nature.
He stood quietly in the corner of the room, with the door open and wide open. You could see him leaning against the wall like a wooden stake, not saying a word, folding his arms and doing nothing.
Seeing everyone approaching, he stood up straight from the corner, put down his hands, and bowed slightly to show respect to Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Hello, Master."
"Hello! Siegfried! I'm here to play~"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's cheerful voice rang in the room, and the girl with a bright smile was staring at Siegfried's strong body with her big eyes flashing.
"Siegfried, is he invulnerable? Is that true?"
On the way here, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation between Medusa and Medea from happening, Yagi Xuezai told her the story he knew about Siegfried and the Nibelungenlied. Now she is full of joy.
I became curious about this legend.
"Yes. It does have this ability."
Siegfried nodded, but immediately a dark look appeared on his face, and he continued: "I'm sorry, but this ability can't work correctly now. I'm really sorry for responding to the summons with such an incomplete attitude."
"No, it's okay. That won't happen!"
Upon hearing this statement, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if she was bullying him, and quickly said: "Look, I am also an incompetent Master, and everyone is imperfect ~ I can be considered a match."
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
Siegfried bowed slightly and apologized to her again.
During 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, has almost no self-awareness. As a hero, he is very humble, lowering his attitude and giving
A feeling of inferiority.
Moreover, he is the kind of person who talks very little. If he doesn't take the initiative to stir up a topic, he just stands quietly.
In fact, he once participated in the Holy Grail War, although the impression of being summoned is ambiguous - for a servant, being summoned is like a dream. After waking up from the dream, although he will remember some fragments, some
Impression, but generally speaking, there will not be a particularly clear memory.
In the last Holy Grail War, he responded to the summons as a Saber. Because of the Master's rage, he understood the situation of losing words when talking too much, so he spoke less. He, who was originally humble, became more humble.
"Speaking of which..."
Yagi Sekssai also felt itchy, as if Mashu admired Leonidas because he was a Shield Servant. Yagi Sekssai also wanted this dragon-slaying swordsman to guide him in his sword skills.
It's useless to have the abilities of a Servant but not have the martial arts skills to keep up.
"Mr. Siegfried, can I ask you for sword skills?"
"With all due respect, my swordsmanship is not that amazing. Are you sure you want to learn it?"
"Anyway, the legendary hero is much stronger than a weak magician like me."
Siegfried did not refute, being modest is okay, but if you forcefully tell the truth because of modesty, it would be very unpleasant. Yagi Yukisai's swordsmanship... is indeed not top-notch, and this can be seen from his actions.
come out.
"Understood. If you don't dislike my swordsmanship, I'll be happy to. But... I want to say it up front."
Siegfried rarely used a humble tone.
"Because of your attributes, you will probably be severely suppressed by me. Please control yourself correctly and don't belittle yourself."
Yagi Xuezai was stunned by Siegfried's words and didn't understand what he meant.
Siegfried added: "You...are a [Dragon], right?"
Siegfried, who has the ability of dragon slayer, can create a level-crushing combat power gap against servants with dragon attributes.
Siegfried was keenly aware of the smell of dragon on Yagi Yuzhai's body, and that's why Siegfried said this.
A dragon slayer will never lose to a dragon. If Yagi Yusei were to fight against him, he would only be overwhelmed by Siegfried after gaining the power of King Arthur's dragon.
This is a gap in strength that cannot be bridged by training.
As long as he is a [Dragon], he will never be able to defeat Siegfried.
After no matter how much sweat and sweat you train, if you still can't achieve results, it's easy to feel frustrated.
Yagi Xuezai was startled, then nodded vigorously.
"I am aware. I will ask for your advice when the time comes, Siegfried."
