readx;? Ian saw death in Karan's eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man, who had once been as sharp as a knife, was now curled up in the futon. His eyes were blank, tired and weak, in fact, this should have been a very normal thing, combined with his age. But many people still can't accept that the former Rose Lord is old, and not just old.

Ian sat on the edge of his bed.

"I thought you were the first to come and see me. Karan smiled slightly, "It seems that a bad old man who is about to go to the ground is still not as good as my beautiful granddaughter." ”

"You have lived to be eighty. "But she might only live to be twenty." ”

Karan's eyes darkened a little, "You're right. ”

"There's no way?"

"Do you mean me or the Messiah?"

"Both. ”

"Actually, the two are almost the same, I remember telling you a year ago that I should have died a long time ago, but my obsession has made me survive until now, but it's not, I'm using dragon blood to survive until now. Karan reluctantly smiled, "Now that the dragon's blood is starting to eat back, those powerful guys, even if they die, the blood is a restless existence, and I seem to see the guys I killed again, baring their fangs at me, trying to drag me to hell, just like I once knocked them out of hell." ”

Karan spoke calmly. Ian's face was expressionless, but his heart was already turbulent, this man actually saw death as retribution. No, no, and it shouldn't be said that retribution, at least he took death very lightly, light enough to face everything safely.

"As for the Messianic thing, you can go to the Tower. ”

"Tower?" Ian was stunned, he was about to forget this place, which was originally the headquarters of the hall, the landmark building of the imperial capital, until it was sealed forever after the cloud disaster ten years ago.

"Yes, after the Cloud Plague ten years ago, Greg, then the Lord of Thorns, was dissatisfied with the decision of the Hall and sealed the tower as the first lord. Karan looked at Ian and said softly, "Since ancient times, the Lord of Thorns has been the most powerful person in the hall, even the four major families can't compare, so we haven't had the right to open the tower for ten years. But now, you've been promoted to the first Lord of Thorns, and you've been recognized by Perseus and Queen Nia at the same time. Now you're eligible to restart the Tower. ”

"What's the point of restarting the Tower?"

"It's a big significance, over the years, all the information about the dragons, maybe something else, has been stored in the tower. Karan said, "If you want to find a way to stop the inheritance of the Heavenly Eye through the ages, you can give it a try. ”

Ian nodded.

"If you can find a guy named Dino in the tower, ask him. He's an old friend of mine, and when Greg sealed the tower, he said he would wait in the tower for the day when the tower would be reopened. Ten years later, if he's still alive, he can help you a lot. ”

"Ten years later, will he still be alive?"

"A month ago, someone saw a light on the top of the tower, which means that he was alive a month ago. Karan suddenly coughed violently, coughing up blood, staining the sheets with a blinding scarlet.

"You better take care of your body. Ian patted Karan on the back and wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I'm waiting for you to come to my Messiah's wedding." ”

Karan let out a long breath and leaned back on the pillow: "Not unexpectedly, I guessed that you will propose to the Messiah when you return." You, like your father, have always chosen to ignore the future. ”

"The future will be fine. ”

"Yes, you've defeated the three kings of fire, sea, and wind, and what else can't you do?" Karan smiled slightly, "You set a time, but it's better to hurry, before I leave, and before the disaster strikes completely." I've been thinking about the Messiah for a long, long time, and I've always wanted to take her to church while I'm alive and entrust her to the ground running. ”

Ian's eyes suddenly soured.

"The Lord of Thorns is a match for the Eye of Heaven, but in terms of identity, this is the most compatible pair ever. Karan looked at Ian with gentle eyes, "Even if you don't talk about your identity, you are the most suitable pair." The Messiah is very stubborn and extreme, but he is kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have saved you. From this point of view, there is a providence in the dark, and her unintentional actions are likely to save the future of the entire human race. ”

Ian opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Actually, you can feel it, the activities of the dragon clan have begun to become more frequent. ”

Ian nodded: "I encountered it when I was at the border, the dragon clan attacked a village, if it wasn't for a retired senior hunter in that village, let the villagers move in advance, I'm afraid it would be a flowing cloud again." ”

"Yes, humans have lived so comfortably for hundreds of years that they have almost forgotten the fear of being once kept in captivity by dragons. In most people's minds, dragons, like hunters who can slay dragons, are far away, far away in the world. Karan said, "Naga of fire, Nartimis of the sea, Nathan of wind." The place where these three kings woke up was also so far away from the human community that even now, they did not realize that disaster was coming. ”

"What can we do?"

"No, we can't do anything. Karan shook her head slightly, "At least for now, we can't do anything. We can only see a certain picture of the future, the dragon emperor Mussolini led a group of dragons to conquer the imperial capital, but we don't know when they will come, and from which direction. Compared to seven hundred years ago, there are too few hunters capable of fighting against the dragons, so few that it is impossible for us to take care of all aspects, and it is unlikely that even the imperial capital will be able to defend it. ”

"So what to do?"

"Bloodshed, only bloodshed. Karan said slowly, "On the day when the dragon clan comes, there is no doubt that it will be the period of the most bloodshed of the human race in seven hundred years, and many, many people will die. Corpses would fill the valley, and centuries-old cities would be reduced to ruins overnight. ”

Ian thought of Liuyun and clenched his fists tightly.

"I know you're reluctant, but there's nothing we can do about it. It is impossible for anyone to save all human beings before the catastrophe comes, all we have to do is to leave the seed, the spark of civilization. Karan lowered her head and said softly, "That's it, I'm tired." ”

Ian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and got up to leave.
