Three shadows with sharp blades in their hands bent down and hid in the grass under the fence wall, and looked through the gap in the fence wall, only to see a beautiful figure slowly leaving the wooden house, hugging his chest and hanging his head, to the east side of the fence, looking up at the vast night sky, and letting out a heartfelt sigh. Qinglong's eyes could clearly see her face, the sadness surging in her eyes was unreservedly presented in his sight, the pain that touched her soul made her eyes messy and helpless, from the open window of the soul, you could see a heart full of contradictions, the blank and numb expression made her youthful and gorgeous face lifeless, as dark as the stars tonight.

At this moment, his heart was full of contradictions, he had imagined countless scenarios when he met her, and countless ways to kill her, and he had imagined himself dying at her feet. Every time he thought of her, two flames burned in his heart, and he sometimes remembered the shy expression on her lips when she opened the door on the morning when he first met him more than ten years ago, and sometimes the words she had said when she killed him again rang in his ears, making him shudder. He had also slashed his fingers with his sword in his grief, letting the blood slip over the blade, imagining that one day her blood would stain the sword red and silver, but when the red blood spread in his pupils, he felt terrified, and the thought of her lying cold in a pool of blood made him feel that his spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he could not allow himself to kill the woman who had made him fall in love for the first time. For more than a decade, he struggled with the pain of love and hate for most of the time, and they hit him silently in the dead of night. Tearing at his flesh and eating away at his soul.

In a trance. He suddenly remembered the encounter he had with her at the palace not long ago, and that she had killed her companions in order to save him. This made his heart tremble for a moment, and he had asked himself countless times if he could trust her because of this, and believe that she still had true feelings for him? He involuntarily stretched out his left hand and removed from his wrist the bracelet of love that she had stuffed into his hand at the time of separation, the bright silver bracelet made by the elf glowed faintly in the darkness, as if her eyes were flashing with tears.

"To be forgiving and forgiving, to give others room is also to give yourself leeway. Farris's words echoed in his ears. The old man's teachings kept coming to his heart, like a light in the darkness, pointing him in the right direction. The old man's words have never been wrong, even if they sometimes encounter ups and downs and twists and turns, but in the end, they all reap the results of good intentions, Qinglong is convinced of this.

He turned back to his two companions and quietly made a few ranger-like gestures, and the two understood that he had let himself sneak into the house to inspect the situation and search for the whereabouts of the magic stone. They nodded in agreement. Silently, the cat bent her waist to the back of the house, and although she was a stone's throw away from the woman, she did not notice their swift movements.

watched the two of them climb into the courtyard from the back fence wall like ghosts, and touched into the wooden house one left and one right. Qinglong suddenly rose, his silver hair flashed a white light in the night, and he flew into the courtyard. The sound of leather boots trampling on the weeds alarmed the woman, and she turned sharply to the green dragon. The red light flashed in his hand, and there was an elongated magic sword. The sword blade's blood condensed, shooting out a sharp bone spur, and with a soft "ding" sound in the dark, the silver arrow collided with the bone spur and fell into the grass between the two.

"It's you......" Although the night obscured her vision, the familiar figure that had been flashing in her mind for more than ten years was impossible to recognize anyway, he stared at her face, her expression did not have the slightest surprise and vigilance, but a little more untimely sadness and contradiction.

"Why do you keep following me? Can't you not be in my world? Why don't you go back to your forest? It's a human thing, it doesn't belong to you at all, why do you always have to meddle!" her emotions became more and more excited with each sentence, and she even waved her hands desperately, as if trying to drive him back into the forest. Qinglong silently stared at her tearful eyes, reading the affection and tenderness from the tears. His mind conjured up the image of her tears, just like she was now, every tear flowed into his heart, like a leaf, very light, very light, but the accumulation of little by little, but he was overwhelmed.

"I'm just here to give you this......" He put the longbow on his shoulder, took the shiny silver bracelet from his left wrist, and held it up to her, the starry bracelet in the darkness reflected her foolish eyes, for a moment, Qinglong felt as if she was about to throw herself into her arms, but she didn't do that, but gritted her teeth and lowered her head, and gave him a merciless answer: "It belongs to you, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, I don't want it!" At the last four words, her voice trembled to the extreme, making people feel that her body would be unable to support it at any time and collapse.

"If you don't want anything to do with me, why didn't you abandon it in the wilderness immediately after that incident?Why did you wear it on your body for ten years?If it's just because the bright silver jewelry made by the elves is worth a lot of money, why don't you exchange it for a lot of money?" he said as he walked up to her, each sonorous question like a sharp arrow shot into her heart, and when he walked up to her, handed it to her, and asked one last time: "Tell me, Si'er, why is that?" In an instant, her psychological defense line completely collapsed, and she collapsed at his feet, covering her face and crying like a wronged little girl.

His solid arm gently took her into his arms, his slender fingers pulled her white and tender little hands, the bright silver bracelet was put back on her wrist, the gentle moonlight sprinkled on the bright silver bracelet, and the shimmering silver light reflected her delicate skin beautifully. Qinglong gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, but a tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes unconsciously.

"You are so stupid, why did you do this to me, why didn't you kill me, we should be enemies of fire and water, you should use my blood to honor your people, instead of giving me your arms to cry!"

He silently listened to her conflicted whimper, bowed his head and left a comforting kiss on her forehead, and sighed softly: "You're right, theoretically. Indeed, I should have killed you, as I did eleven years ago. You were ordered to kill me, and I should have obeyed the command of hatred. Sacrifice my people with your blood, but then what is the difference between me and a vengeful puppet manipulated by hatred? You have told me that I am your first love, and you are the first girl I fell in love with, and time has not made you discard our love object, nor has it erased you from my heart, why should we be so caught up in the hatred of eleven years ago and kill each other. What about the people who manipulate us behind the scenes, who destroy our beautiful loves, profit from it?"

She looked up at him in astonishment, and she could easily read from his expression the distance of her breath, he already knew everything about the man behind her, and she heard him say meaningfully: "The past is like a wound, maybe it will be painful, maybe it will leave scars." But it will heal eventually, and all we can do is stop tearing it up, but apply a layer of medicine to it. He stared down at her bewildered face. Holding her little hand gently, he said emotionally, "I understand, you must have your troubles." It's like a killer, just a weapon in the hands of the employer. As long as he accepted the task, he had to kill the killer. Regardless of whether the other party is innocent or not. There is a proverb among the rangers: 'The true target of revenge is the hand that holds the hilt, not the sharp knife that kills.'" 'You are the knife that is held in your hand, and if you are willing to turn around and help me fight against the culprit who stands behind you, I will also help you get rid of his clutches.' As he spoke, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed him affectionately. Like a frightened fawn, she looked at the tenderness in his eyes in a panic, and the rapid beating pulse exposed her excitement to him.

"Will you help me, and help yourself?" his soft tone and sincere eyes seemed to ignite the fire of hope in her heart, burning her death-seeking heart into ashes, and she gritted her teeth and told him everything.

"During the reign of Mondrek V, Karl Ivan has been secretly training an organization called the Shadow Knights, which is an organization that is different from ordinary knights, and the members of it show themselves as regular knights, but they are all masters of assassination and deception in their bones, in fact, they are spies specially used to penetrate the enemy's interior, because of its particularity, it has been strictly kept secret from the outside world, and few people know about it. After the fall of Mondrek V, Cal Ivan led the Shadow Knights and his descendants to eliminate the aristocratic army led by Duke Aurey, but he also consumed a lot of strength, and felt that he could not resist the ranger resistance led by Geist, so he temporarily hid and accumulated strength. Not long ago, his spies found out about the impending disaster on the continent and decided that the time was ripe, so he decided to seize the magic stone and use the magic stone to destroy the new kingdom led by Duke Hunter first, and then remove the threat of natural disasters and restore his proud kingship. ”

"Sure enough, Karl Ivan is still dreaming of his world domination!" Qinglong whispered to himself hatefully, Si'er looked at him silently, and there was an inexplicable uneasiness in her expression, as if the name Karl Ivan evoked some terrible memories in her heart.

The sound of footsteps came from the direction of the wooden house, Si'er looked back and saw two men in leather armor walking briskly in front of her, she looked back at Qinglong uneasily, deeply frightened by these two people who suddenly appeared, before that, she thought it was only her and him here.

"We've checked the cabin, and there's no sign of the magic stones, and Cal Ivan must have had them with him. Billy Winmill and Noo Lai did not show the slightest surprise or embarrassment at the sight of the man and woman snuggling up to each other, and calmly told Qinglong the results of the search, and Qinglong nodded silently, this result was not unexpected by him.

"Come on, Si'er, let's go, now that we know about Karl Ivin's plot, we must let more people know!" Qinglong helped Si'er up from the ground, took her hand and beckoned the two to leave, Billy Winmir stepped forward to stop them, and asked, "Where are you taking her?"

"Go to the king, she is the only one who knows the inside story. ”

"I don't know what she said to you, but I don't think we should take her word for it, and perhaps we should go back to Del first, and wait for the Duke of Hunter to arrive, and then consult with them before acting. Nuo Li's suspicious gaze swept over Si'er's face, pulling Qinglong aside and softly dissuading him. Qinglong's gaze swept over him and Billy Winmill, who was following closely, as well as Si'er's worried expression, and said without hesitation: "Whether it is true or not, the mastermind behind this matter must be Karl Yiwen, the Duke is not in the country, we must inform the king to prepare early." The expedition team is sluggish, the road is bumpy and difficult, it is easy to miss the opportunity, this news may also affect the progress of the team, if the progress of the search for the last magic stone is delayed, we will also suffer irreparable losses!" He turned around and pulled Si'er in front of him, Si'er's originally tall body was very petite in front of him, and he had to raise his head to see his face. He held her small hand with the silver bracelet tightly, and said to the two hesitant brothers: "No matter what Si'er did back then, she was just a pawn used by Karl Yiwen, all of this is not all her fault, she deserves a chance to be forgiven!"

Billy Winmir and Noo Lai exchanged glances with each other, and felt that what Qinglong said also made sense, after all, she was the closest person to Karl Ivin, and maybe she could really get some important secrets from her, after all, for them, the homeless Karl Ivan was still quite a mysterious figure, and even the well-informed Neo Lai could not understand his details.

"Okay, but what about Karl Ivany?" Billy Winmill asked, they hadn't seen Karl Ivan yet, and if they left like this, it wouldn't be so easy to find him next time.

"I've heard that Cal Ivan is quite superb in swordsmanship, and even has magic power no less than that of the Duke, and he is the number one magic swordsman on the continent, and the three of us alone may not be able to subdue him. Besides, his purpose is to overthrow the New Kingdom, and he won't get entangled and fight with us Rangers, and even if he sees him, there is no point. Lai, please continue to monitor and search for Karilvan's movements, and we will go to Heinstem to meet the king first, and then decide on the next step!"

Qinglong's suggestion was agreed by the two, and the three of them took Si'er and immediately set off to rush back to Del, preparing their horses and rushing to the royal city of Haiyin Sturm. The figures of the four gradually disappeared into the night, but Qinglong and his brothers did not know that at this moment, on the cliff above the valley, a man in a blue cloak was staring in the direction they were heading, and the corners of his mouth bloomed with a sly sneer.
