What is hatred?

Someone took away your only relative, your only son, and half a century of thoughts were shattered.

This is hatred.

Abaylou killed Naga, but his heart was still unhappy and he couldn't let go. It's like killing a beast instead of an intelligent being, killing someone and killing a beast, it doesn't feel the same.

Killing Naga is like killing a wild beast.

The old fisherman cried all night with his son's head in his arms, and the short stubble turned noticeably whiter, like a layer of frost.

The old fisherman went into the water and collected all his son's body, and barely managed to make a one-third mutilated human form.

Gritted his teeth and cut open Naga's belly, and made up to a third, which was in line with the amount of local custom - only in this way can he enter the underworld to be reincarnated, instead of falling into the abyss and suffering forever.

The old fisherman used his own wooden boat, poured oil, lit a fire, put his son's ashes, and watched the boat slowly drift away along the current.

His eyes were red, and the old fisherman began to weep silently again.

"I'm sorry, mercenary, it's your money. The old fisherman gave the money to Abaylou, a total of two gold coins and two silver coins, and Abaylou put the money away and comforted: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

The old fisherman stared at the sea, his eyes vacant, "Would you like to listen to an old man tell a story?"

"Speak, please. Abaylou believed that the young man's death had something to do with his own carelessness, so he was very patient with the old fisherman, and because his negligence turned into a tragedy, he tried to make up for his mistakes.

"I was born here since I was a child, and I met my wife, who is a very ordinary girl... I love her very much, when I was eighteen years old, she was pregnant, and it was a war conscription, so I was pulled by the lord to be a soldier, because I was good at water, and I could lead soldiers, and I was appreciated, so the lord made me a thousand-commander...... But you know what, just when I'm in high spirits...... I learned that a group of enemy soldiers had raided the place by boat. It was here that they came ashore and gathered the villagers together and beheaded them one by one, including my wife. I feel like life is bleak... But when I learned that Eric was not dead, my life was rekindled with faith, a gift from my wife. ”

The old fisherman let out a sigh of relief.

"I quit my job to become a fisherman, just so that I could take care of Eric growing up, and I hope I can keep him away from the darkness of society... I hope he ...... well."

The old fisherman suddenly became excited, and frantically smashed the sand next to him, "Damn, damn it, damn it, I just understand now, without power and power, I can't protect anything, bastard, ahh ”

The old fisherman made a fuss for a while before he bowed to Abailou and retired.

"It's boring to listen to an old man's sighs. ”

Abaylou waved his hand, "It's not boring, and besides, I have a share of responsibility for your son's death, so let me offer my blessing." ”

In the astonished gaze of the old fisherman, Abaylou whistled.

"Your son thinks that he has met a mermaid with irreparable consequences, so let me let the real mermaid give him one last ride. ”

The burning boat had not yet left the old fisherman's sight, and there were four more figures near the boat, slender and beautiful, and the sea became a painting as soon as they appeared.

Their occasional fishtail reveals their true identity.

Even if he didn't see the faces of the mermaids, the old fisherman believed that they must be beautiful, "It turns out that there are really mermaids in the world." ”

Let the sea send the lost soul home

We carry a pure heart

The door of the heart is open

Send the lost soul home~

The burning boat was attached to a curtain of water, and the mermaids held the boat, singing the funeral song of the mainland sea burial, and disappeared into the sea level.

The old fisherman noticed that the songs sung by the merfolk seemed to have real magic, and in the small boat, he saw Eric, waving at him and smiling at him.

"It's beautiful...... Thank you, mercenary, I don't know who you are, I won't say more, I'll never forget Eric's kindness. ”

Bidding farewell to the old fisherman, Abaylou returned to the town, felt the two gold coins in his pocket, and decided to change his clothes.

Now the clothes were brought by Hainia from Abdubi, and after running around, they were obviously tattered, and they had to clean up their appearance, whether it was seaweed-like hair or beard, it was sloppy and terrible.

Abay Lou bought a new outfit, suitable for travelers, loose and easy to move. Also bought a long dagger and a short dagger.

The weapons here are really expensive, Abay Lou bought two daggers for one gold coin and two silver coins, and the quality of the daggers can only be said to be barely enough, not inferior and not much better.

In the hotel, Abaylou took a dagger in front of the mirror to trim his appearance and shave his beard. I cut my hair short again, although my hair is still a little long, but it still looks very chic and temperamental.

Knock knock, there was a short and rapid knock on the door, and Abay Lou, who had just been taken care of, got dressed, opened the door, and saw the hand that the fishtail had not yet put down.

"Hello, sir... I'm sorry, I think I knocked on the wrong door. Fishtail said embarrassedly.

The man in front of him is handsome, with a noble temperament like a nobleman, a neat and confident ponytail, beautiful black hair and eyes that are different from ordinary mainlanders, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he is clearly a nobleman from a prominent background.

"Silly boy, take a closer look at who I am. Abaylou said.

"You're the sloppy uncle?!" Fishtail put on a grimace.

"How do you know that I live here, and what is going on with me? ”

Fishtail twisted and said, "It was the mercenary guild who told me, and besides, I want to find you to be my teacher, uncle, you are very strong, right?"

Am I strong, Abaylou thought for a moment, I may indeed be strong, but it is far from enough, it is much worse.

"I don't need a teacher, I don't need a student. Abaylou decisively rejected the fishtail.

Fishtail pleaded, "Uncle, I know you're strong, please!" My own naivety killed Eric, and when I was chased by Naga and had no power to fight back, I realized my cowardice, I didn't deserve to be a mercenary. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his gaze became more and more determined, he took out his mercenary badge and threw it directly out the window.

"I'm going to change, for myself. Fishtail said.

"That's a good point, but it's not necessary. Abay closed the door and ignored him, his world was not a world that ordinary people could understand.

Only Fishtail shouted a few times outside the door, and I will definitely not give up.

This sentence is so familiar, Abay Lou remembered the days of the earth, very long, like a dream, he was like a movie-watcher, watching the bits and pieces of the earth, inexplicably sad.

Forget it, take a bath and go to bed, your things are ready, and tomorrow we will leave for our next destination.

After lunch the next day, Abay Lou was much better physically and mentally, and then he set out to leave, two daggers on the left and on the right, not like a traveler, as if he were a thief.

As soon as he left the gate of the town, Abay Lou saw a familiar figure, the old fisherman was wearing well-maintained chain mail, and a long sword pinned to his waist, looking majestic.

Seeing Abay, the old fisherman greeted, "You're passing by Sapphire City, aren't you?"

Abaylou promised the old fisherman, "You ate that Naga?" Abaylou saw that the old fisherman's eyes were not quite right, a little confused, but very energetic.

"Yes, I would love to eat her while she was alive. ”

"Naga's flesh will affect your thinking, I hope you will be cautious in the future. ”

The old fisherman believed that Abay Lou had not lied to him, he was not afraid of the side effects of Naga meat, he just felt comfortable, and it was really pleasant for his son's revenge to take revenge in this way.

"I'm going to rejoin the army, and the old lord is still there. I still have a chance......" Before the old fisherman could finish his words, the conversation was interrupted by the shout of the fishtail, and he ran over with a large bag on his back, "Master, I am here." ”

Abay Lou looked at the fishtail, his head was big for a while, and he turned his head to look at the old fisherman, "How about letting this kid follow you." ”

The old fisherman said that he didn't mind, and Abaylou said to Fishtail, "Go to the army, change yourself, joining the army is the fastest shortcut, and the old fisherman will take care of you." ”
