readx;? The corners of Ian's mouth lifted slightly, and even in such a bad situation, his mood suddenly became extremely happy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Fei'er is finally willing to reveal some secrets of her own to him.

Maybe it's also because it turns out that she and Khan Parks are really biological father-daughter relationships.

He slowly closed his eyes, feeling an incomparably peaceful body and mind.

He is not greedy.

That's enough.

It's enough to know that.

Only this time, apparently the maiden did not intend to stop here. As if in return for Ian's unreserved confession to her, she forced herself to tell her own secret in that hoarse voice.

"I was born in the underground outside the Eastern Realms, in a troglodyte tribe of just over a hundred people. There, the sinners and other peoples were not so hostile, because they were also exiles from the outside world who had been excluded by the Empire. Therefore, everyone there is very affectionate to their own people, helping each other, and working hard to survive. ”

"It's not easy to survive there. Although the Mind Image Sealing Array is arranged, there are often wandering demons who accidentally run in. And there is no food in the caves, so every once in a while we have to send people out to collect food, or hunt wild beasts, attack other humans, or go to trade with other tribes and even underground city-states. ”

"There are often people who go out and never come back, and no one knows if they died at the hands of demons or humans. ”

"When I was a child, I barely saw my father, and as far as I could remember, he came back four times in total, and each time he came and went in a hurry. ”

"But everyone in the tribe respected him because every time he came back he brought a lot of much-needed things. ”

"Everybody knows he's working for all of us. He had promised that one day he would take us back to the Empire and live a peaceful and safe life. ”

Ian was stunned, and only now did he know why Phil respected Khan Parks so much. For he was the pillar that sustained them, and was the hope of all of them at that time.

He couldn't help laughing at himself, he felt like a clown who would be jealous of the Grand Duke.

Khan Parks, the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, did fulfill a lot of promises, he helped many people in need, accepted a large number of criminals inside and outside the circle, and even ignored the pressure from the upper echelons of the empire, and finally took his daughter to his side. And what about herself? It seems that nothing has been done for this girl until now.

"It seems that he succeeded. Ian sighed, "That's why you're here." ”

"Nope. ”

The girl shook her head slightly.

"He failed...... Or rather, we failed. ”

Ian was stunned: "But you ......"

"It's just me. ”

The girl closed her eyes and confided the cruelest truth: "I was the only one who was brought back alive." ”

"It happened...... What?"

'We didn't make it to that point, we didn't make it until he made good on his promise. ”

For a moment, the girl fell silent, as if she was a little tired. And it wasn't until a long time later, when Ian thought she wouldn't speak any more, that she suddenly opened her eyes again, and continued to make that hoarse voice that didn't look like that of a girl.

"It's hard to survive outside the circle. So, every child has to learn a lot at a very young age. How to fight demons or humans, how to find food and medicinal herbs, how to find hidden places, in short, many, many things......"

"Luckily, we have an old swordsman in our tribe, and we kids call him Grandpa Ham. ”

"According to the adults, Grandpa Ham was an expelled court swordsman who was exiled from the circle and happened to be rescued by the adults who went out, so he stayed and became our sword teacher. ”

"Every morning, a few of us kids practiced with swords sharpened from demon bones. So much so that at that time, I thought that all swords should be black. ”

At this point, Phil looked sideways at Ian, as if to warn him not to laugh at himself for it.

Ian, who was also looking at her, read the meaning in her eyes, smiled inwardly, and then asked curiously, "At that time, were you the best or the worst among them?"

In Ian's eyes, in any story, according to the consistent law, almost only the best, or the worst, is likely to be the strongest. However, Fei'er's answer was unexpected, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

"I don't know. ”

"Because of my father, not a single child in the entire tribe wants to really compete with me, so I will always be the first in every sword competition. ”

"But on the other hand, none of the adults in the tribe dared to let me go out with them. So while the other kids were able to help hunt down the inferior demons, I was the only one who was asked to stay underground. ”

The girl closed her eyes.

"At that time, I was very unwilling. ”

"I watched as the other companions who were learning swords together were taken out one by one to assist the adults in hunting demons. And he can only be locked up underground and accept the protection of others. This really makes me very unwilling. ”

"So......" The girl suddenly opened her eyes at this moment, and the dim light seemed to have a strange color: "One night, I sneaked out with a sword. ”

"Bear child?" Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but show a look of crying and laughing, and accidentally said the voice in his heart. He knew that if Fei'er could still make an expression, then she must be smiling extremely proudly at the moment.

At this moment, he finally knew why this girl liked to go out at night, it turned out that it was all a bad habit developed in childhood.

Of course, Phil didn't understand what "bear child" meant, but if you think about it, you know that it is definitely not a compliment. So the smug look in her eyes turned into a silent warning, which frightened Ian and quickly corrected the "posture" of listening to the story.

After a long silence, Xu saw that the "posture" of the young man was quite correct, and the girl began to continue to tell her story.

"It was the first time I went out and the first time I went out on my own. I was a little nervous and a little scared at first. But soon, these emotions were overshadowed by excitement. ”

"It didn't take long for me to find the prey I was looking for...... Well, no, it should be said that it didn't take long for my prey to find me. ”

"It wasn't until then that I realized that demons were so terrifying. It was only the first touch that cut off half of the sword in my hand. And after that, the so-called hunt was completely reversed. ”

"It's just that I was terrified at the time, but I don't regret it now. ”

"Because that night, I fell into a crypt while I was running away from the devils. And there, I found something that changed my life. ”

"What?"

Ian asked curiously. There are few things in this world that are called enough to be able to change a person's fate.

"Yuanjing. The girl said in an inexplicable tone, "I found a source crystal." ”

"But here, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a 'godhead,' ......" (to be continued.) )
