Walking out of the portal, Marceau looked at the big-eyed Quintave, the dwarf who was looking at the brightly lit building in the distance, and out of curiosity, Marceau wanted to gain a claim to know the truth before the final mission.

"Mr. Big Eyes, can you tell me the whole thing, what is going on between you, Lady Mimita, and these murderers? ”

The big-eyed dwarf turned his head and looked at the cat cub without sorrow or joy, and after a full minute of silence, he smiled: " You cats are a race that would have dared to throw away your life to satisfy your curiosity, but then again, the story between us is obviously not a secret enough to throw your own life away, after all, any elder, including the lady Dinini, after all, he said that you are the darling of the Anonymous family, and that an old girl like her would be happy to give you and the twins a face. ”

Then the dwarf told Marceau the secret between them: "When I was a child, Mimita's father, Uncle Tatab, picked me up, and at that time my little village was attacked by the gnolls, and the gnomes in the whole village were either fed or nowhere to be found, except for the basket where I was placed at the bottom of the dry well, and I miraculously did not cry, so I escaped, and Uncle Tatab gave me a surname, which is the name of the village, Gaffrant. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Big-Eyed had an innocent smile on his face for the first time, as if his voice softened because he talked about his best years: "My childhood was very happy, Aunt Tatab is a homely lady who can cook great food, I can eat delicious food every day, and Mimita, who is my sister, took me to play in the village of the steppe elves, and the steppe elves did not look down on me or bully me because I was a dwarf, they all said that little people always have to help each other...... Gradually. Mimita and I grew up, and my biological age was faster than Mimita, so Mimita and I entered adolescence together, and gradually I discovered Mimita...... It's so cute, this sister of mine is so perfect, perfect I feel like I want to marry her is a luxury. There are too many boys in the village who are better than me, who are better than me, and I am just a dwarf who doesn't know much about engineering. ”

At this point, Mr. Big-Eyed still has a smile on his face, but as his expression turns cold, the story takes on a new definition: "Later, Mimita joins an adventure party in which Paul Dolly and his wife are party. ”

"They?" Marceau frowned.

Yes, Paul and his wife were a young couple with a lot of blood. He and she didn't reveal their identities, and the party ventured around, and I joined in as an unruly thief, and gradually, I discovered Mimita...... Fell in love with Paul. Big-eyed sighed, "When Paul was young...... In the tone of you foreigners, that's called a handsome word. ”

"Hmm...... Even if he looks like him now, he is also a very handsome old man, but it seems that he is not on the right path. Marceau recalled Paul's face. found that even if this old man got old, he was still a stylish old man. And not those bad old men...... It can only be said that handsome people are divided into levels, but absolutely regardless of age.

Big-eyed nodded, obviously Marceau's opinion was deeply in his heart: "So, when I found out that Mimita liked Paul, I found that I couldn't compare to this big man, he was so handsome. Talking elegantly, both in terms of height and demeanor, it crushed me...... But what happened later changed the fate of all of us forever, and Paul betrayed Mimita and gave her to Nathaniel...... This scum who is not sorry to die. When Big Eyes said this, his eyes were completely cold. It was only at this moment that Marceau realized why he didn't kill Paul with his own hands...... "You let him die from excessive bleeding, not with your own hands, just to make him suffer a little more, right?" ”

"Of course, if it weren't for my bad luck with that arrow, I should let him enjoy the punishment of a thousand knives on the side of Changtang and Yangguo. Big Eyes nodded, acknowledging Marceau's statement.

But Marceau was still curious: "Paul is not like a stupid person, he should know Mimita's mind, why did he do it." ”

"Some people dare to kill for a single gold coin, and in the face of fifty thousand times the profit, I think there will be more than one Paul in the race of mankind, which is rich in the most valuable heroes and the most pathetic vermin. Big Eye replied.

In this regard, Marceau was speechless, yes, for the prosperity of the family, maybe in Paul's eyes, betraying a girl he didn't like was a good choice, not everyone's reason is towards order and kindness, handsome and upright can never be equated, just like ugly people are not all representatives of spiritual beauty.

The steppe elves angrily demanded that the old king at that time give the steppe elves a justice, so a trial began, for which the steppe elves swore that the trial would not be pursued regardless of the outcome, for which they also chose the most upright young judge among the human beings at that time, Judge Sam Clement, Tom was Nathaniel's defender at the time, and Sam Clement finally only ordered Nathaniel to pay compensation and accept twenty lashes…… Later, I heard that Mimita had committed suicide in despair. ”

Speaking of this, Big Eyes let out a long sigh, and then raised his head to look at Marceau: "I escaped from the village of the steppe elves, changed my surname to Kintaf, and I want to work hard to make money...... Trying to avenge my beloved Mimita, you know the rest of the story, and now we're going to kill Sam Clement, the former civilian judge...... I vowed to give Sam a taste of the despair and mourning of Mimita's suicide, he had two children, the eldest son died in an accident, the second son joined the army and died during an armed reconnaissance of the Western Continent, but he also had two grandchildren, both left behind by the eldest son, one fourteen and the other ten...... Marceau, give them to me, okay. ”

"Mr. Big Eyes, at least the child is innocent. Marceau shook his head, killing children and watching them be killed was not an art of assassination for Marceau, but a criminal act like those madmen of New Eden.

"No, no, no. Mimita is innocent, there has never been a poor person in this world who must be hateful, indeed, she is making mistakes from beginning to end, falling in love with people who should not be loved, believing in people who should not be believed. It was Paul's greed and malice that hurt her, it was Nathaniel's ** and sins that hurt her, it was Tom's cunning and meanness that hurt her, it was Sam's betrayal and compromise that hurt her...... But it was definitely not her innocence and kindness that hurt her. "Please, Mr. Marceau, let me put a perfect end to the nouveau riche Clemente." ”

Looking at the begging and longing in Mr. Big-Eye's eyes, Marceau finally nodded: "I won't help you, but I won't stop you either, but from today onwards." I will never accept your quest again, and I will take revenge against you first...... Mr. Big Eyes, everyone will pay for their choices. ”

"Oh, thank you, thank you, Mr. Marceau, even if you kill me afterwards, I don't blame you, I have no regrets in my life to be able to taste what I wish on this wonderful night. Even if I am hanged early tomorrow morning, I am satisfied. Because I have finally completed my redemption, the trial of the villain, and the promise I made to Mimita...... I promise revenge for her. With that, Big Eye threw a key to Marceau: "This is the key to my bearer locker at the Royal Bank of Palounst, it's yours now, I swear to the dwarf gods." Even if one day you come to me with the will of the vengeful God, I will be slain by the neck, and I will not resist, I will not struggle, as if I had broken my oath. I will suffer from the piercing of the heart, and I will never be able to say goodbye to Mimita in any form. ”

“…… Keep the key for yourself, you need money to escape, Mr. Big Eye, I just want to tell you that I don't agree with your choice to expand the killing. Dropping the key into Big Eye's hand, Marceau walked to Sam Clement's mansion, Big Eye quickly followed, and he shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Marceau, I owe you something that I can never pay off." ”

"Say no more, Mr. Big-Eye, before I change my mind, let's go. With that, Marceau pushed open the wooden door in the backyard of the house, and the folding crossbow in his left hand was activated, and the arrow pierced the guard dog's head, which fell headlong on it, and its companion was just about to scream, and a sleeve arrow burrowed into its open mouth, and the original howl immediately turned into a whimper of pain.

Sam Clement's mansion is not big, it can be said that it is a little small, and when he came to this two-story building, he reached out and knocked on the door, and after a while, a boy who looked to be fourteen or five years old opened the door: "Ah, big night, do you have anything to do with coming to Clement's house?" He looked at Marceau and Big Eyes with some curiosity: "It's strange, haven't you touched a dog, my dog will bark when he sees a stranger." ”

The answer was a light crossbow activated by Big Eye's left hand, and the crossbow bolt fired by the miniaturized killer used in one hand pierced through his face, and the boy fell to the ground with a dull sound, and then Marceau heard a child's voice in the hall: "Brother, what's wrong with you." ”

Bigeye raised his hand, his sleeve arrow activated, and then entered the house amid the child's screams of pain, and as soon as Marceau followed him, he saw the child lying in a pool of blood, and the old man in a wheelchair leaning against the fire.

“…… Is it Big-Eyed Gerfrant?" The old man wore an eyepatch in one of his eyes, and there was no emotion in his eyes, as if it was not his grandson who was lying in a pool of blood.

"You still remember me, it really touches me, I think you should know why you came here for me...... Right. There was no sadness or joy in the big-eyed voice, as if the dwarf who was reading from the book walked up to the child holding his legs, grabbed him by the collar, dragged it to the chair on the other side of the fire, threw the child in front of the chair and sat on the chair, then took out a musket and began to load: "It's been fifty years, and I've finally done it, you know I'm waiting for this day...... I've almost forgotten who I am. ”

"Congratulations, Big Eyes, you've done something that the prairie elves haven't done. Sam patted the blanket on his lap and glanced at Marceau: "Big Eyes, won't you introduce me to me, this is ......"

"Marceau, stranger, I wouldn't have been able to get this far without his help, you know, always thinking when I knocked on the door. Oh, what will it be like in the house, and will our Sam Inquisitor take up his legal weapon to defend him and his family, oh, I'm so scared. The dwarf laughed out loud when he said this: "The weapon of the law." I couldn't stand what you said in court at the time. ”

"I'm sorry, I was more ...... when I was younger In the words of a stranger, is it called the second disease?" Sam glanced at Marceau, who replied with a nod.

"Sam, because of this shit problem of yours, you killed Mimita Tatab, and Mrs. Tatab died of a gaunt illness because of the death of her beloved daughter...... Let's put it this way, Sam. What made you choose the verdict in favor of Nathaniel in the first place? After loading, he put the musket on the back of the head of the crying child: "Tell me, hurry up, Sam, I need this answer...... It's been fifty years. ”

"If I said you'd let my little grandson go, impossible, I know you, Big Eyes. What you've been doing at the mall all these years...... Definitely not that kind of representative of kindness. The old man shook his head.

"That's good. The dwarf pulled the trigger, and from Marceau's angle he saw the child go limp. At that moment, Marceau had a sense of time and space confusion, as if he had returned to the time of the New Eden invasion, but soon, Marceau understood that no one here today was innocent. That's how revenge is...... Cold and unforgiving.

"And now. Bigeye said as he began to reload.

The old man laughed, and after laughing enough, he shook his head: "Sure enough, you non-humans are all crazy, look at your behavior, big eyes." What's the difference between you and a madman. ”

"A madman doesn't have to bear legal responsibility for murder, but I have to bear it, so I'm not a madman, in fact, I also understand that it should be the Manan family that gave you a benefit that you can't refuse, maybe it's money, maybe it's status, maybe it's the only daughter of the baron you married later, there are so many benefits that you can't refuse, maybe you just need to make a judgment in favor of Nathaniel with a clear conscience, and you can get all the benefits. Loaded his ammunition and pointed the musket in his hand at Sam Clement: "I know your choices, just as you know that I will make them for revenge, Inquisitor Sam, what else do you have to say." ”

"Madame Dinini once told me that I would have retribution, so to tell you the truth, I have been waiting for the day when retribution will come, and today I have waited for it. Sam patted his leg again as he spoke, this time a stone skin appeared on him, and the old man drew a one-handed musket from under the blanket.

The next moment, a shot rang out, and Sam's forehead was knocked off, but Stone Skin still blocked the fatal blow for him, and glanced at his chest with wide eyes, and then slid off the chair without saying a word.

"To be honest, whether it's a righteous person or a villain, one of the characteristics of these guys is that they usually die from talking too much, and you say I'm sorry. Holding the musket and starting to reload, the old man looked at Marceau and smiled, "Why don't you do it, if you don't do it, I'll kill you." ”

"I want to know, the two children of this earth...... Is it really your grandson?" asked Marceau, looking at the child who was lying down with the gnome.

"Of course not, they were all adopted by me, my second son died early, and my eldest son could not have children, so I adopted two children, and they called me grandpa in front of outsiders, after all, Madame Dini was right......" The old man with the old front-loading musket looked at the long knife that had not entered his chest, he looked up at Marceau and smiled like a child: "I ...... Sold my soul in exchange for my dear wife, in exchange for my lovely children, and in exchange for the day when the surname Clement became a baron, and finally I waited for retribution...... It's mine...... Margaret...... I...... It's so cold......" Like a sigh, like a cry, after calling the name, Sam lowered his head, and in Marceau's vision, the old man's body gradually turned gray like the child on the ground, no longer warm, no longer changing.

Marceau walked over to Bigeye, who was already out more out than out at this point, and the dwarf looked at Marceau, trembling and taking the key out of his pocket.

“…… Mimita has a daughter, she follows Lord Trilan, I will pass on this key of yours to her, and she will turn the last gift you left in this world into kindness. ”

Hearing Marceau's words, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his big-eyed eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Mimita...... daughter?"

Marceau nodded.

"Damn it...... Nathaniel ...... Bastard ......" scolded in a low voice, and the big-eyed smile finally froze, and the weakly supported hand fell to the ground, and the key was left in Marceau's palm.

Rise. Marceau came up to the old man and pulled the long knife out of his dead body, the stone skin was a deterrent to crossbow arrows and bullets, but for a sharp long knife, it was only the thickness of a rag.

In the next second, a young girl appeared in the hall with another young girl. Marceau stood up and looked at them in front of him, "Good night, Lady Ave." ”

"Good night, Marceau, today you have witnessed the whole process of revenge from the beginning to the end. ”

"Yes, I accompanied Mr. Big Eyes to the end, but I couldn't stop him from hurting the innocent because I felt ...... Mr. Big Eyes must be given an explanation, and his revenge must be made without regrets. Marceau said, noticing the girl in Lady Ella's hand: "This is ......"

"I'm Mimita Tatab. Thank you, Mr. Marceau. The girl said as she walked over to Big Eye, and she leaned down and kissed him on the forehead: "Big Eye, get up." ”

Then Marceau's eyes, wide-eyed, sat up - in the form of a spirit, the dwarf, who had become much younger, first looked at Marceau with a look of amazement, then found Lady Ella, and finally he noticed Mimita: "I." I must be dreaming, right? ”

"Nope. I'm here, thank you, Big Eyes. ”

"I... I ......" The dwarf looked at the steppe elf girl in front of him and cried like a tearful person, Marceau turned his head to look at Lady Ella, who nodded: "Marceau, come with me." ”

So let them go. Marceau followed Lady Ella out of the mansion.

"Mimita's soul has always been by my side, and it is I who protect her innocent soul from resentment and pain. Lady Ella said.

"Your mercy, Marceau sees it all. The kitten leaned over and saluted.

"You didn't do a good job today, you should have saved those two children. Lady Ella shook her head, "I'm a little disappointed. ”

"Ma'am. You think I've let you down, and I can understand that. Marceau lowered his head: "But I am a man, Mr. Big Eyes is also a man, I can understand how painful it is to be supported by revenge, fifty years, the enemy marries a wife and has children, and spreads branches, but the victim can only live alone in the world, with the will of revenge as food, every second of life is to one day avenge his lover...... There's no way I can stop a dwarf who is crazy for revenge, even if he makes a choice that goes against his heart...... I'm sorry, ma'am. ”

"So, I punish you, and you won't get any rewards for this mission. Lady Ella sighed at this: "Actually, a life like Big-Eye, which is governed by a will for revenge...... I've seen a lot, so I can't blame you all for this, but Marceau, you have to remember that revenge doesn't mean we have to be butchers, understand? ”

"I understand, ma'am. Marceau felt that this punishment was already very light, because violating the tenets of the gods was usually punished very severely, like Lady Ella's...... I guess it's because of Mimita.

Thinking of this, Marceau noticed that Mimita and Big Eyes walked out together, and the steppe elf girl gave Marceau a skirt salute: "Thank you, Mr. Marceau, Big Eyes told me about you, my obsession has been achieved, and I can see Big Eyes again...... There's nothing left to remember, goodbye, Lady Ella, Mr. Marceau. ”

At this point, Mimita began to dissipate, and before disappearing, she took Bigeye's hand one last time: "Goodbye." ”

The dwarf watched her disappear, then turned his head to look at Marceau: "Me too, Mr. Marceau, although in the end I was still put on the side by that guy, but now that I think about it, death is also a relief for me, and I have also seen Mimita, I have no regrets in this life, remember our agreement, give the key to Mimita's daughter...... Goodbye, Monsieur Marceau, bless you. ”

Then the big eyes began to dissipate, and he saluted Lady Ella before disappearing: "Thank you, Lady Ella, for being able to meet Mimita, my life has finally come to a perfect end. ”

Watching her disappear with him, Marceau sighed, "Death is the end of everything, Lady Ella. ”

"No, for mortals, death is not as simple as going to the kingdom of God, and I believe that Mimita and Big Eye will meet again one day. ”

Recalling Mrs. Ella's words, Marceau finally chose to lean over again, this time the kitten's heart was full of gratitude.

Madame, I really feel your mercy. (To be continued.) )
