Chapter 526 Hero Doruton
The ferocious Labangs encountered people who were even more ferocious than them. After more than a dozen of them were easily knocked down by the Amber Tour Group, the Labangs chose to escape.
Although they knew how to coordinate with each other to create avalanches when they gathered together, that required them to occupy advantageous terrain and the enemy to give them the opportunity. Faced with such a ferocious enemy as the Amber Tour Group, Labang had no choice but to flee.
The crowd didn't kill them all, but the one biting Tom certainly couldn't escape, so it was the first one Tom dealt with after he escaped.
The meat of this strange rabbit is average, only its thick hind legs are worth eating. Even so, no one wastes any food .
The goal of having a picnic in the snow was unexpectedly achieved, and everyone continued their journey. Every time they arrived at a village, Uncle Long would chat with people in the group, asking them about their local customs and habits, and whether there were any unique arts.
Ye Yan would occasionally join in the fun, perhaps understanding these things would help his "creation".
While everyone was going their separate ways, Zhang Da would take Weiwei to places like restaurants and pubs, sharing his travel experiences with the locals as a foreign traveler. And...
Crazy smuggling of contraband.
Not only will it tell stories that resonate with the locals, it will also describe what other countries are like, such as the Kingdom of Lulucia, which just changed its king, and the enlightened king of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
At the same time, Zhang Da would also ask some questions, such as: "I heard that there was once a huge man-eating white snake on the coast near Big Horn Village, which made people afraid to go near the beach. Later, Mr. Doluton heard about it and split the giant white snake in two with one move. Is this true?"
The guests said they didn't know whether it was true or not:
"Are there any snakes around here?"
"Snakes that big should be considered sea kings, right?"
"I've never heard of such a thing."
Undeterred, Zhang Da continued, "There was once a story about pirates who placed a stone tower weighing several thousand kilograms in the town of Kokowit, claiming that wherever the tower was was their territory. Later, Mr. Doluton lifted the stone tower with his bare hands, walked step by step to the seashore, and threw it into the seabed, scaring off the pirates and saving the townspeople. Is this story also a lie?"
"It's impossible to lift a stone tower weighing thousands of kilograms with bare hands, right?"
"No, I heard that Lord Doruton is a devil fruit user who can transform into a powerful buffalo."
"This might be true."
The guests began to feel uncertain. Cocowit and Big Horn Village were quite far away from them, and they couldn't tell the real thing from the fake.
However, Zhang Daye described the matter in a very detailed and interesting way, so I couldn't help but ask Zhang Daye if he had any other interesting rumors.
" Dorton knelt at the castle gate all night, begging the king to send 'Doctor 20' down the mountain to save people. By the time the king sent the doctor, the snow had fallen over a foot deep." "Dorton encountered a bully who oppressed civilians and even raped women. In a rage, he beat the man to death with three punches."
Zhang Da also asked everyone to verify the truth of these "rumors" one by one, just like a curious traveler.
These rumors, whose authenticity was unknown, were soon spread out . In order to make their stories more exciting, these people also processed them and made them sound like the truth.
Since Doruton's usual behavior has many similarities with the deeds in the story, and his reputation has always been good, the image of a hero who is upright, brave, public-spirited, and speaks up for the people, but is forced by royal power to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens has gradually been established in the minds of many people.
In particular, the fact that he knelt in front of the castle for a whole night in order to ask the doctor to come down the mountain particularly touched the hearts of the people of Magnetic Drum Kingdom.
Even though Zhang Da always told them in advance that they were just rumors and stories and that he didn't know whether they were true or not, he couldn't stop them from admiring Doruton.
Just as many people know that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel and very different from official history, but this does not affect people's continued worship of Guan Gong. Just like the actors who played Guanyin and Tathagata Buddha were worshipped as real Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and the actor who played the Jade Emperor was printed on ghost money.
Now even if Doruton himself stood up and said that he did not do those things, I am afraid there is no way to stop these stories from spreading, because the image of the hero Doruton is too deeply rooted in people's hearts - we admire the hero Doruton who saves people from suffering in the story, and you say that you are not like that, what does it have to do with us?
The people of the Drum Kingdom hope so much that all this is true, and they also hope so much that there is such a hero who cares about them. Even if it is just a rumor, it can at least bring them a glimmer of hope.
Doruton's fame inexplicably began to rise, but this also brought some disasters to Doruton.
"What kind of hero is this, Doruton? That bastard!" Such a widely spread news inevitably reached Wapol's ears. Wapol was furious. "Let that hero spend his whole life in jail!"
Wapol didn't think Doruton's fame posed any threat to him, so he didn't even think about executing him .
Anyway, if he's locked up for a few years, everyone will naturally forget about it. And these guys are actually in the mood to spread this kind of stuff. It turns out that the law is not strict enough! Wapol quickly discussed with his staff how to draft a law for fun.
The four flag monsters who were lurking in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. They were there to ensure Doruton's life. Now it seems that this king is even more stupid than everyone thought.
It was not until the 13th day of the Amber Tour Group's stay in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom that Zhang Da also happened to encounter a team of patrolling soldiers.
Soldiers can be encountered almost every day. After all, there is a law to arrest doctors, and the army patrols everywhere every day. However, the topic discussed by this group of soldiers during their chat was very interesting:
"I don't know when Captain Doruton will be released by the king. I feel uneasy without him these days."
"Yeah, the captain likes to think about everyone so much, so why is he locked up?"
"I heard that it was because the king wanted to eat roasted house that day, and Captain Doruton rushed into the fire to save people and tried to put out the fire, which angered the king."
"Captain Doruton is truly worthy of his name!" a soldier said with admiration, then turned to worry. "But has the King finally given up on tolerating the Captain?"
"If only the captain were the king..."
"Hey, you're going to die!"
As the soldiers gradually walked away, Zhang Da felt that the time was almost right. It was time to spread the news that "Doruton was imprisoned by the king for saving civilians and might be executed", and then wait and see what would happen.
If the civilians dare to take action this time, then we will help them. If they still remain indifferent, then we will get Doruton out, and then they will pay the medical bills and leave. If they like to accept it, then let them accept it.
