10 Conventions

After saying the name, Heidi laughed all of a sudden, still innocent and lovely smile: "How is it?" Terrible! At that time, the earl's face was distorted with fright after hearing this, this was obviously a fairy tale to deceive children. ”

"It's scary." Milo struggled to hide her nervousness, "Especially when it comes out of your mouth. Melo barely coped with it in a joking tone, and Heidi was very happy. Melo wanted to put Domi's prophecy behind her completely, but she didn't expect that Heidi would have similar news. "Curse of the Stars" is a word with a hint of religious overtones, but the legend expressed is avant-garde and mysterious, does anyone really believe that the outbreak of the Djinn Crisis has something to do with this legend? At least Domi must be supportive, because when Milo asks "where the djinn comes from", Domi's response involves the stars in the sky.

"The Count also thinks it's terrible? Is it the first time he's heard this legend at that age? Melo questioned.

Heidi replied, "Yes, both the Count and I have heard this legend for the first time. It seems that there are very few people who know this legend, so it has not spread. ”

"It's probably too old, and fewer people know about it." Melo remembers Heidi saying that the legend came from the mouth of a very old man, adding.

"Milo, if the stars in the sky really want to kill us, then what should we do?" Heidi put away her smile and asked calmly. Mello was silent, and he thought again of what Domi had said, "If one day, the star you look up to wants to kill you, what will you do?" ”

"Then you promise me," Heidi saw that Milo didn't speak, so she continued the conversation, "If I die first, don't be sad, live well......" Before every parting before, Heidi would say this, they had made similar agreements many times, fortunately they were always able to meet again, Milo didn't feel anything wrong, he just blamed himself for worrying his beloved.

Heidi continued, "...... You promised me that if the stars in the sky really came to attack us, you must stop them and save everyone! There was a joking tone in the remark, but Milo felt that Heidi was serious. Heidi didn't know that Milo had been haunted by Domi's prophecy, and these words had stirred up mixed feelings in his heart. But she soon fell into Milo's arms again, quietly waiting for Milo's reply.

Milo was very troubled, he knew that it was not Heidi's problem, and he didn't want her to worry, so he replied, "I promise you." Heidi smiled, and every time she laughed, it made Milo think that the guard's smile was happy.

Not wanting to continue to be disturbed by the affairs of the stars, Melo changed the subject: "After completing the mission, I will take you to Aube and from there take a boat to Dragon." Heidi frowned when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "Actually, there is a port not far to the south, which has long been deserted. She gestured to the south, and Milo knew that the sea was not far away, though she couldn't see it. I want to help the Count, let's fix the harbor together, and from there take a boat to Dragon. "If you don't take into account the political and diplomatic factors, Heidi's idea is very feasible. Milo didn't want to upset Heidi, so she agreed.

"Shhhh Someone came from behind. Melo suddenly lowered her voice and said to Heidi, in the silence, someone was approaching behind the haystack. Heidi made a gesture: What to do?

Melo motioned for Heidi to follow her, and the two of them crept around the haystack half-crouching and tiptoeing around the haystack, in the opposite direction of the visitor, without touching each other, and then moving slowly in the direction of the town. Melo glanced back and saw Charlie hiding on the side of the haystack with a girl. Heidi saw it too, she covered her mouth and smiled, and so did Milo - I can't imagine that Charlie, who has always been serious, can't bear to be lonely. What makes the vein even more ridiculous is that the two of them also met Hans in the town and led a charming girl through the quiet alley, and it seems that the enthusiastic captain Hans is indeed very good. When Milo and Heidi quietly passed by the abandoned houses where the soldiers were temporarily stationed, some soldiers saw and recognized Captain Milo, and did not say anything, because it was a normal thing. Soldiers are also people, and it is not a surprise that the three captains have a tryst with a woman at the same time, as long as they do not violate military regulations and laws, it is okay to indulge some.

Melo sends Heidi back to her quarters in the fortress, where Heidi repeatedly reminds Melo not to forget her promise tonight, and the two kiss goodbye. When Melo left the fortress and walked out of the fort, the drawbridge was closed. It's still early, and Milo decides to follow Heidi's advice and take a shower. He approached the makeshift bathhouse, carefully folded his cloak and set it aside, and took off the light leather armor he had been wearing, revealing his scars. Many of these scars, large and small, are fatal, and even Milo himself can't explain how he survived until now, maybe it's a miracle, maybe it's his love and commitment to Heidi......

The warm bath water relaxed Milo's frozen muscles a lot, and also allowed his tense nerves to relax a little. Heidi's "curse of the stars" reappeared in his heart, and many of the information in this strange legend had a high resemblance to Domi's prediction, and he had to think that Domi did live up to his name, so he began to piece together those scattered pieces of information: first, the djinn was "sent" by the stars to invade humans; Second, the crisis is not over yet, and there will be new crises to come; 3. I met an important woman in my life in Fengxing Town, which is undoubtedly talking about Heidi; Fourth, he will be exiled to the Misty Jungle for something in the future. The fourth of them was what he was anxious to know, why did he end up in the Misty Jungle? And then there's the second one, what will happen after the Djinn crisis? These two may only be answered slowly through the passage of time, and of course the first one is the same in the end.

Time always speaks for itself, but it can also kill everything. When the fall of the city of Tum made many people miserable and desperate, when Milo and his soldiers were forgotten in the enemy-occupied territory, frightened, starving, and afraid that they would never see their loved ones again, they did not know how many times they cursed fate for how cruel they were to them; When he takes the form of the "undead" and Heidi and helps the many refugees, they rejoice in how much fate has played a joke. Time had worn away his heart, allowing him to defy all fear—including death. Time has also proved the wisdom and strength of human beings, when people defeated the djinn, the other side of human beings was also exposed with time - arrogant, arrogant, rampant, I don't know how many people fought for military merits, I don't know how many people forgot those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country when the victory came, I don't know how many people have begun to sing praises for this great victory...... The passage of time has once again proved that human beings are still selfish creatures.

Selfishness and avoidance are also Milo's greatest weaknesses.

After taking a shower, Melo returned to his camp, where he was fortunate enough to be assigned to a single room, and the "Curse of the Stars" was not able to defeat the Sandman's attack, and he quickly fell asleep. In his sleep, he vaguely heard someone knocking on the door, the sound was not urgent, it was not an emergency, he got up to open the door, and saw that the person who came was not his men, but a Sprelet soldier. The soldier lowered his head, and when he saw that Milo did not lift the door, he did not say a word. Confused, Milo asked the soldier to look up. The soldier beckoned, looking up. Seeing his face—dark skin, blue pupils—Milo was taken aback, then startled and then frightened, making him want to flee immediately.

With a "poof", the soldier drew his long sword and stabbed and slashed at Milo without saying a word, but Milo had no weapon in his hand, so he had to dodge again and again, avoid the attack, and wait for an opportunity to escape. But the only door had been blocked by this soldier, and he had to find another way out. He took advantage of the dodge to pick up the cloak, and with a twist of the cloak blocking the soldier's view, Milo took the opportunity to flee to the window to escape the window. Suddenly, the family crest on the cloak, the ivy, turned into a poisonous snake and wrapped around his legs, and Melo tripped and fell heavily to the ground, and then the soldiers behind him stabbed him with his sword-

A sword pierced Milo's heart with precision, and in an instant blood gushed out, followed by his screams:

"Ahh

"Huh?!"
