"Remember, when it's really a last resort, you can take this pill. I'll come to your rescue later!" In the last moment of his awakening, the dragon knight Abel remembered the words of the dragon knight leader, and looked at the black unknown objects wrapped around him, he shouted loudly: "Red, we can't get out." Eat the Heart-Saving Pill, and the regimental commander will come to save us. ”

After saying that, he took out the white pill that had been hidden in the armor on his chest, and Abel swallowed it. After that, a black unknown object completely entwined Abel.

"Tick, tick" I don't know how long it took, as if the sound of dripping water woke Abel again.

"Where am I?" looked at the darkness around him, and Able felt as if he was sitting up.

"It's been a long time! I didn't expect us to meet in such a way. As if it was a very familiar voice, Abel followed the source of the sound and saw a familiar person.

"Who are you, and why do I feel as if I've seen you somewhere?" Looking at that familiar face, Abel had an indescribable awkward feeling.

"That's a good question, I don't even know how to answer it. The familiar man laughed, and for some reason, a ridiculous feeling also welled up in Abel's heart.

"Am I not you? or your truest self. After the familiar person finished speaking, Abel was shocked in his heart, and looked at himself who seemed to be no longer familiar.

"You're deceiving me, if you're me, then who am I?" Abel calmed down, feeling as if he had an extra sword in his hand that he didn't know where it came from.

"It's been so long that you've forgotten about our split? The other side laughed, I don't know why, Abel himself seemed to feel particularly funny. "You still want to kill yourself, and sure enough, the dragon knight is different from ordinary people!" Looking at the sword in his hand, Abel understood that the person opposite was indeed in touch with him.

"Well, I've roughly guessed who you are. Don't go around the bend endlessly, what are you going to do here?" Abel put away his killing intent, and the sword in his hand disappeared.

"I don't know why you're here, why we're here. The opposite self smiled, his expression slightly embarrassed. "I only know that the current situation may have something to do with you eating the Dragon Knight's Heart-Saving Pill. This medicine will urge me to lend you my strength so that you will not die immediately. But there's no way to change the status quo you're trapped in. So there is a good chance that you will swim in the ocean of ego thoughts until you are saved or die. Anyway, I'm stuck in this place now, how about it, why don't you try the game of self-breakthrough?"

"What's that, the dragon knight's way of self-improvement?" Abel sat down and quietly listened to himself on the other side to explain.

"Anyway, being idle is idle, it's not much different from a dream. You just think it's a dream and go around and have fun!" "Then I'll go first, you can have a good time here!" Regardless of whether he agreed or not, the sudden appearance of himself disappeared just like when he came.

This dream-like space suddenly returned to darkness again.

"It's all a dream! It's really a boring dream. Able smiled wryly and looked around the darkness, but could see nothing but the sound of dripping water.

I don't know how long it took, "Ping Pong" and "Ping Pong" sounded in my ears as if the sound of swords colliding. Abel, who had long been accustomed to fighting, consciously pricked up his ears.

"Child, you have to work hard!" A big hole appeared in front of him. In the hollow, a middle-aged man in a white robe with a dead gray look in his eyes was teaching a little boy of four or five years old who was also dressed in white to use a sword.

"But Father, it really hurts!" the little boy cried with a pained expression, and a few red scratches on his clothes showed that he was already scarred.

"I've avoided your point, but kid, when you do fight, they're going to kill you!" said the middle-aged man without any expression. "You check the scars on your body, that's the number of times you've been killed by me in the sparring just now. ”

"But father, I'm just a child! Why do I train like this! Other people's children are asking for candy next to their parents, but I want to hold a sword and fight with you!" The little boy's words pierced the middle-aged man's heart like a sharp blade, but after a short period of pain, the middle-aged man actually regained his calm.

"I'm sorry for the child, it's the father who is sorry for you, so you have to bear this pain. The middle-aged man said as if he remembered something, and his eyes showed resentment. "Since ancient times, you have been a success, a prince, a loser, and a thief, and your father failed, so that you have the fate of having to fight to live. You've grown up, and it's up to you whether you survive or not. ”

"But father, what is going on in the house, please? Why do we run out of that luxurious home to this poor place, why don't our brothers and brothers stay with us?"

"It's not your business, and it's not your carry. The man's eyes were so terrifying, as if he wanted to eat the little boy. "Your sword hasn't been practiced yet, so you can't be a dragon knight. ”

"Well, I see. I also want to be like my father, who can fly in the sky on a dragon. The little boy smiled, and the image seemed to be made up of water droplets, and there were ripples, and they slowly disappeared. Once again, darkness reigned around.

"It's a memory of that time, it's been so long that I've forgotten it. Abel sat quietly, thinking back to what had just happened. "I don't know if my father will be happy to see the way I look now, we have been separated for all these years, and I don't know how he has been, whether he is still resentful. ”

Thinking of this, Able raised his head and looked around.

"Hey, you're still here, why did you leave me in this place to see something from the past?"

After a while, Abel knew that he had asked in vain, so he simply sat down and waited for what would happen next.

Sure enough, after a while, the void of the image in the darkness appeared again, this time in a different place.

"Or should I change your name. "It's still the same man in the white robe as before, but now he has changed out of the white robe, and is wearing a leather jacket made of unknown animal skins, like a hunter hunting in the mountains.

"Remember, child. You can't use that name before. The man looked at the little boy sitting across from him. The little boy also changed into a costume made of animal skins at this time, he was taller, his face was a little darker than before, but he looked very energetic.

"Hmm!" the little boy had a hint of fortitude in his eyes, a maturity that did not belong to his age at all.

"That's fine, and you'll be called Abu from now on. ”

"Good!"

Father and son don't know when they have some kind of tacit understanding. Abu looked like an obedient soldier at this time.

"In a few days, there will be a dragon knight selection ceremony in the nearby city. When the time comes, you go and sign up. When asked, you only say that your name is Abu, and you don't need to say anything else. If you ask again, you will say that you can't remember, do you know?" the middle-aged man's expression was serious, and he was completely in an ordered tone.

"I know!" After the little boy finished speaking, Abel saw the middle-aged man make a quick move and slapped the little boy on the back of the head, the little boy "snorted" and fell into the arms of the middle-aged man, unconscious.

Once again, the picture begins to gradually close and disappear.

"So that's how it was at that time!" Abel thought to himself as he looked at the picture and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "That's the last time I saw my father, no wonder I fainted, I see. ”

His heart was shaking for a long time, and Abel felt mixed feelings. This feeling lasted for a long time, until a new image appeared.

In the picture, the middle-aged man has long disappeared, and only the little boy faints on the side of the road.

Several carriages passed by, and the coachman's eyes were sharp, and he saw the little boy lying on the side of the road at a glance.

"There's a kid!" shouted the coachman, slowly stopping the carriage and jumping out of it.

Not much, people from several cars behind also surrounded them.

"The child can't be dead!" asked the coachman, who was checking on the child's condition.

"No, it looks like I've fainted. Which of you has water? Wash this child's face. The coachman patted the child gently, and some people around handed the kettle. The coachman took a cloth from his body, poured some water into his palm, and washed the boy's face.

The little boy slowly opened his eyes.

"Child, why are you lying on the side of the road? What about your family?" the little boy looked puzzled as he listened to the questions of the people around him.

"Oh no, this kid can't be a fool!" some people around him began to heckle, "If he is really a fool, you can see who is kind and take him in." I flashed first. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd. Then another man said in a loud voice, "This boy is a child of the Orion family in the mountains! ”

"yes, it seems so. Someone around chimed in.

"Son, are you separated from your parents?" asked the coachman, holding the little boy with one hand and stopping the voices of the people around him with the other.

The little boy didn't react, just stared blankly at the people around him.

"God, bless the child!" said the coachman, who prayed after a few seconds, picked up the child, rushed through the crowd of onlookers, and put him in his carriage.

The people around him gradually dispersed because the excitement that could be seen was gone.

The convoy quickly returned to normal and continued in the direction of the city.
