Encore still comes here late every night to sing, but now there is an extra audience, maybe not very trusting, let alone any good feelings, but the oppressive palace life makes Encore believe in Slark, the only person in the world who is willing to listen to her.
As time passed, Encore and Slark continued so magically, she had a wish, that is, she wanted to see what the outside world was like, so Slark took her to the sea every night to see the moon, and Encore in the moonlight was like a beautiful dancing elf, jumping up and down freely, singing happily.
And Slark, while admiring her singing, quietly made an oath to the bright moonlight, he did everything to make Encore sing, who dared not let her sing, then this person would not want to live!
Encore was left out in the cold, and no one would pay attention to her; Slark didn't have much to offer, and the guards were happy that someone was willing to spend their lives guarding Encore, and everything went in harmony, and everyone was happy, if it weren't for what happened next.
There is a cruel ritual in the country of the South China Sea, every ten years, the country of the South China Sea will be under the divination of the "national teacher", select a young life from the kingdom as a sacrifice to the dark abyss, otherwise the god of the dark abyss will be angry, and the entire country of the South China Sea will face several huge calamities, until the next time comes, the calamity will not stop.
This god of the dark abyss is not comparable to the god of the abyssal tentacles who leads a large group of deep sea creatures, strictly speaking, the god of the dark abyss is the superior of merron.
No one knows what the rules for this so-called "national teacher" to choose sacrifices are, people only know that he will pick out a beautiful girl every time, and then personally send it to the dark abyss.
And this time, the sacrifice chosen by the "national teacher" was actually encore.
After learning this cruel news, although Encore was a little depressed, as a royal princess, she could only face it calmly, not to mention, she had no qualifications to resist.
From the day Encore was chosen as a sacrifice to the Dark Abyss, the royal guards strengthened their guard over Encore, and her father, the Emperor of the Sea named Poseidons, also came to visit her rarely, and it was from that day that Slark never had the opportunity to sneak out of the palace with Encore and go to the sea to see the moon.
"The moon is beautiful, thank you for being with me for so long, I really ...... It's fun enough. ”
In the middle of the night, Slark, who had snuck into the courtyard, heard Encore say these words to him, and although she was extremely open-minded, the tears like broken pearls could not fool herself.
You can't fool Slark.
Slark, who had come out of the courtyard, had a fierce look in his eyes, and he silently pulled out his sharp dagger and decided to fulfill the vow he had made under that moon.
Whoever dares not to let her sing, then this person doesn't want to live!
That night, the old and young members of the national teacher family and the two guards guarding Princess Enke all died, and the wounds were all in the throat, all of which were fatal with one blow.
Princess Encore and Slark, who had been her bodyguard, disappeared, and the Emperor Poseidos was furious and dispatched all the palace guards to hunt down the "sacrifices" and "traitors".
There is an ancient legend in the depths of the sea that if you pray to the Dark Abyss, you will be protected by the God of the Dark Abyss and grant one of your wishes, but at the same time, the God of the Dark Abyss will take one of your most precious things from you.
Although it is unknown if the god of the dark abyss is willing to agree to the request of the girl who was supposed to be his "sacrifice", in desperation, the bruised Slark and the exhausted Encore can only escape through this method that is almost gambling.
In the darkness of the night, Slark takes Encore to the legendary Dark Abyss, where he begs the gods of the Dark Abyss to grant him and Encore the ability to survive on land, for which they are willing to pay any price.
A miracle happened, and the appearance of him and Encore gradually changed.
Encore's skin turned the white color of terrestrial people, and the scales and fins on their bodies slowly disappeared, and they grew legs that could walk freely on land, and became similar to terrestrial people.
Although there seems to be a slight glitch with the ritual, to the point that Slark still wears a small tail, Encore says he doesn't dislike him.
The prayer was completed, and Slark and Encore didn't figure out what was missing from their bodies, and everything seemed to be so complete.
However, the beautiful story will never end perfectly, how could the emperor Poseidos just watch his "sacrifice" and "traitor" flee like this?
Before Slark and Encore had time to rejoice in the blessing of hope from the dark abyss, hordes of palace guards were already in pursuit.
Facing these former colleagues, Slark had no sympathy, and he desperately rushed left and right in the crowd, but his humanoid legs and degraded fishtail really caused him a great hindrance, and after trying his best to send Encore to land, the exhausted Slark was directly captured alive by the royal guards.
"Wait until I get back."
These were the last words Slark said to Encore.
Due to the agreement with the Shadow Inheritance, the royal guards did not rush to land to hunt down Encore, and the enraged Sea Emperor threw Slark into the Dark Reef, an eternal prison that was worse than death.
………………
"There is a price to be paid for demanding from the god of the Dark Abyss, and I didn't understand that until now." Slark's tears slid down the sand, and he looked at the low mound in front of him and whispered, "Boy...... How are you doing, mother? Have you ever heard her singing? ”
"In my memory, my mother rarely spoke, let alone sang." After listening to the story, Swain was full of sadness and answered Slark's question in a low voice, "After being banished by the Knights of the Night Watch and the Royal Order, my mother and I have been living in the slums here, she is getting weaker and weaker, but I can't do anything. ”
"In the years when life was worse than death in the Dark Reef, I never thought of giving up, the power of darkness brought me infinite power, I silently curled up in the corner, honing my skills, just to be able to escape one day and see you waiting for me again." Slark stretched out his hand and stroked the tombstone in front of him, and as he spoke, he cried sadly again, "The backlash of darkness has made me miserable, and I believe you must be the same, I naively thought that you would also receive the blessing of the dark power, but I didn't expect that the power that should belong to you and allow you to persevere did not play its due role in this form." ”
"I never imagined that the price of the contract with the darkness would be so heavy, that you would lose your beautiful voice and be forced to unite with someone else, and that I would be tortured in a dark prison and finally ...... I also lost my beloved you. ”
Slark wiped tears from his face and turned to look the swordsman in the eye.
"Boy, your strength is good, but do you know who gave you this talent?"
"I don't know...... If I had to say it, I think it might be a gift from the gods to give me the power to avenge my mother. ”
"Listen up boy, I want you to remember to me that your power does not come from any bullshit god at all, but from your mother, from her pact with the darkness, she could have made you disappear and accept the blessing herself, but she didn't!"
"Mother's ......"
Sven stared at the mound in front of him in a daze, his swollen red muscles slowly returning to their original shapes.
Smack.
Smack.
Large tears slipped silently down the swordsman's face, and he was so powerful that he had never shown the slightest fear in the face of countless terrible enemies, but now he cried like a child.
He was originally a child.
A child who is united with someone he doesn't love, but loves from the heart.
A child who has been pinned on by his mother with infinite high hopes.
A child who inherited the dark bloodline.
A child who subverted the laws of aristocracy.
A child who is so sad and crying because he misses his mother.
