Chapter 1171: Chapter 709: Tier 5 Powerhouse’s Dream (Part 2)_1 Chapter 1171: Chapter 709: Tier 5 Powerhouse’s Dream (Part 2)_1 Giggles and laughter rang out as a group of boys and girls, around the same age as Taylor, chased each other playfully, bounding into Leo Ray’s line of sight.

Upon seeing Taylor under the tree, the group of children stopped in unison and gazed straight at him.

Some of them held wooden swords, some wore strange dragon masks, and others were dressed in princess gowns. Despite their various attires, their eyes were all filled with mockery and contempt when they looked at Taylor, as if they were looking at an outcast.

“Isn’t this the Son of the Dragon Slayer, Taylor?”

The boy with the wooden sword stepped forward and sneered, “My father said he’s going to the elder to report you today, and he’ll kick you and your father out of the village!”

“Really? That’s great! Finally, we won’t have to see this annoying fool anymore!”

Another boy, with a dragon mask on his head, chimed in, “Having a dragon slayer live in our village is an insult to Divine Dragon Village!”

“That’s right! My mom said if we play with people like him, something bad will happen to us!”

The girl in the tattered princess dress carefully glanced at Taylor, and when she saw no reaction from him, she joined in with her hands on her hips,

“Hit him! Hit him!”

With that, the group of children giggled and picked up rocks, throwing them toward Taylor’s position.

Underneath the tree, Taylor only gave them a glance of indifference, seeming to have long grown accustomed to such treatment, and dodged the flying stones in silence.

From Taylor’s nimble movements, it was easy to see that at this age, he had already reached the strength of a Tier 3 Senior Powerhouse, or even a Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouse.

Seeing this, Leo Ray frowned.

In Taylor’s eyes, besides indifference, Leo Ray saw deep helplessness, anger, and even a strong desire and longing to join the others.

“This is not Taylor scaring the village children away; clearly, the village children are blatantly bullying Taylor.”

Thinking about the complaints and accusations he had heard earlier in the large roundhouse, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly.

Such scenes made it easy to imagine the countless rejections and criticism Taylor experienced, growing up day after day in loneliness.

“Mr. Lane, it seems that Taylor’s childhood was very difficult.”

Brocade Winthrop’s crisp voice, full of indignation, reached Leo Ray’s ear, “Taylor’s father appears to be a Tier 5 dragon-slaying hero, and judging from Taylor’s dodging just now, his talent is also considered a rare gem in a century. Yet such a shining light of humanity has fallen to such a low state. It’s truly baffling.”

Pausing for a moment, Brocade Winthrop furrowed her brow and added, “And the term ‘Dragon Slayer’ obviously has a derogatory connotation, much like a murderer.”

“That’s right. In normal epics, dragon-slaying heroes come in various forms, but each of them risk their lives at crucial moments, saving the masses from devastating dragon breath, thus becoming legendary heroes and being crowned ‘heroes,’ immortalized in history.”

Leo Ray nodded and mused, “But it’s quite the opposite here. The dragon-slaying hero has become the most despised one, which is clearly unreasonable. Moreover, the people here seem to have an unusual reverence for the Dragon Clan.”

“Indeed, from the honorific ‘Dragon King’ and the derogatory term ‘Dragon Slayer,’ to the details such as the dragon masks worn by the children, the customs here are indeed very strange.”

Brocade Winthrop’s willow brows furrowed together, and she sighed softly, “It’s sad to say that the Dragon-slaying heroes have become so despised.”

As the two spoke, the group of boys and girls who had thrown stones at Taylor had already run off laughing, as if the one they had just mocked and ridiculed was nothing more than a flower or a blade of grass by the roadside.

Soon after, the door of the large roundhouse nearby opened, and Taylor’s father walked out with a dejected and helpless expression. Upon seeing this, Taylor immediately went to meet him.

Seeing this, Leo Ray and Brocade Winthrop followed closely, trailing beside Taylor.

“Father, are they really not allowing us to continue living here?”

When he approached, Taylor anxiously asked, “Those bullies must have badmouthed us in front of the elder, right?”

“It’s our presence that has affected the life here; we can’t blame them.”

Taylor’s father patted his son’s head and smiled, “Alright, pack up your things. A new journey is about to begin.”

“But, this will be our ninth move this year.”

Taylor’s eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head, “Father, can’t we just leave this kingdom? Why must we suffer from being shunned every day?”

“Taylor, don’t talk nonsense.”

Hearing that, Taylor’s father’s gentle expression suddenly turned serious, and he said sternly, “We are the guardians of the Country of Dragonfall for generations, fighting and shedding blood for the protection of this nation. How can we casually leave this land that has nourished our clan for thousands of years?”
