Xerxes
As the sun sets, the last rays of light fall to the horizon, and when the brilliant light fades completely, boundless darkness envelops the land. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The lights in Osgilia are bright, and the night cannot stop people's activities, and the night is no less prosperous than the day, and the people come and go.
Compared to the prosperity of the human city, the garrison area of the Brotherhood is extremely deserted, with few warriors coming and going, and most of them choose to stay at home, either to temper their abilities or to rest early.
Xerxes usually paints in the studio with nothing to do, his frost power has reached the limit, and no matter how he tempers, he can't improve by half a step, and now he can only improve in the realm.
Painting is a good form of entertainment, do what you think, do what you can, the brush strokes rotate and twist, the colors turn a thousand times, can be done in one go or tactfully and subtlely.
Xerxes is very fond of painting, and his disciple Hailiu is also fond of painting, and his painting skills are even higher than him, and now he is also the master alchemist with his name, and the only successor of Master Gandalf five hundred years ago.
Every time he thought about this, he inexplicably smiled with a smile in front of him, and a man appeared in front of him, but that person was now Sir Hughes's fiancée.
In recent years, several newcomers to the Brotherhood have sprung up, ruling that the Knight Sean and the Rose Knight Xerxes are both members of the older generation of the Brotherhood, needless to say, Jonathan, who joined five years ago, has now become a famous death knight, and his strength is close to Sean, and the Barend Empire has failed to get what he wants several times, and his student Hailiu can be called the flower of the battlefield, saving countless lives and helping the wounded, surrounded by life and light, and Sean's student Eve is also a triple power awakening at the same time, although it is not as good as Sean and Jonathan, but it is not bad.
With a few strokes in his hand, he inadvertently painted a horse and a double ride, and the young girl rode to the sky, which was a sea of flowers.
"What was I thinking?"
Xerxes smiled lightly, touched his chin, and poked the brush in his hand on the drawing board, the cold air diffused through his fingertips, the paint instantly froze, and the whole painting froze into ice cubes, which shattered into countless ice slags with a crisp click.
"It's boring, I don't know where Sean and the others are, there are miracles in the wasteland."
Xerxes turned and walked out, and was stunned as soon as he took a step, and he saw a man standing in the door of the studio, staring straight at him with bright eyes.
There are not many people who can break into him, but the one in front of him can be regarded as one, this is a thief, ordinary people can't stop it, and those who can stop it don't want to stop it, such as Xerxes.
"You shouldn't be here, Rosie."
Xerxes gave the order to evict the guest, and he stood in front of the girl, a whole head taller than the other party, looking at the other party condescendingly.
The girl's upper body is a small dress, and the hem is a long skirt up to the ankles, and it is hard to imagine how she climbed over the wall.
"I'm wearing shorts, don't think too much, go have a drink?" Rosie raised a bottle of wine in her hand.
Xerxes frowned and scolded: "Next time you go to the main gate, you will get married, there are many rules of the nobility, learn more." ”
He held his smooth chin: "Also, I don't like to drink with other people. ”
"Okay, okay, how about I have a drink with you? Big man, don't mother-in-law. Rosie walked on her own, she knew the road with ease, she had been here hundreds of times, and she could walk all over with her eyes closed, without hitting the wall.
Rosie expertly pulled two wine glasses out of the cupboard, bit the stopper, and by the time Xerxes reached the living room, two glasses of wine sparkling in the milky white light had already landed on either end of the table.
Xerxes sighed, sat down, pinched the cup with three fingers, sniffed the wine lightly, stared at the swirling bubbles in the cup, and said softly: "It's not good for you to come here, although Hughes is generous, he can't tolerate his fiancée being alone with other men, let alone me." ”
"You seldom say that, the Rose Knight is not such a person."
Xerxes raised his head, his azure eyes reflected the delicate girl, he didn't say a word, he craned his neck, drank a glass of wine, took the bottle and poured half a glass, the glass hovered in his hand, and no wine splashed.
Hughes is in his forties, and his wife has died of illness for many years. Since then, he has never touched a woman, and it is also a miracle that he made an exception to turn his face against you and the crown prince. ”
Xerxes said this, took a sip, and his eyes were fixed on the glass.
Rosie sighed, got up to pour a drink for Xerxes, and sat quietly on the other side, staring at the lonely man.
"If I hadn't met you, a lot of things wouldn't have happened, and if Sean hadn't met Eve, a lot of things would have been rewritten, Jonathan...... It's a pity. ”
Xerxes then drank it all again, he put down his wine glass, raised his head, his eyes glowed with blue light, and there was a chill in his tone: "Rosie, you really don't plan to say anything?" ”
"Isn't it enough to drink with you?" Rosie asked rhetorically.
Drink?
Hey, drink!
Xerxes laughed and pointed to the untouched glass in front of Rosie, "You haven't taken a sip... I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to end like this! ”
"Who am I?"
Xerxes roared, his expression extremely hideous, staring at the wine glass in front of him, brewing boundless anger!
"I am the Rose Knight, one of the three heroes of the Brotherhood, and a powerhouse of the Heart Demon Rank! I am the most powerful alchemist in modern times! I know all kinds of poisons in the world, how can I not understand the 'warm spring' unique to the Hughes family! ”
Rosie looked at the frantic Xerxes with a blank expression, she sat there quietly, letting the other party choke her neck and lift her up!
"It was an accident, an accident that was destined to end in tragedy, and no one would be an exception."
Xerxes threw Rosie away and sat down in his chair, the glass of wine left in front of him, and endless dizziness kept hitting his mind.
"It doesn't matter if you want to kill me or if Hughes wants to kill me...... Is this the ending you want? ”
Is this the ending you want?
When the weariness came, Xerxes let out a long breath, and when he was tired, he went to sleep, free from all his troubles and worries, and sat there, like a nap, and was very peaceful.
"That's what I meant, it's not about Hughes."
Rosie's forehead was torn, blood was running down her forehead, and her clothes were torn a little, she took off her little gown, sat on the other side of Xerxes, picked up a glass of wine in front of her, and looked at the man opposite through the glass.
"Five years ago, you saved me from a vampire family in Osgilia, but you didn't know that I was actually a vampire too, just a waste with no powers."
Rosie chuckled, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally turned into an unbridled laugh.
"That family of vampires is my family, they look down on me, they think I'm a waste, that's why they abuse me, you're a good person, you saved me, but I also set a blood curse, everything I do is for revenge, revenge ......"
Rosie's voice was low, and she raised her glass and drank it down, then poured another glass.
"Hell Hughes, he thought he could control me if he knew my identity, yes, an alien like me, if his identity is discovered, he will be burned at the stake, hehe......"
"There won't be just one corpse here, tomorrow they'll find Xerxes and Rosie dead together, drunk poisoned wine, like the bard's martyrdom suicide......"
"You can freeze venom with the power of frost, or you can refine it with alchemy...... But you chose to die, and it was an accident, and this is the ending I wanted......"
Rosie's fingers hung down before they could touch it, slowly losing her breath and becoming cold......
