Ian and Nicole lay side by side in the bushes, covered in camouflage and so thick that they could even hear each other's breathing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and not far in front of them was a trap that had been laid out yesterday for a day.

The "Dragon Hunt" operation began, according to the plan, Ian and Nicole would bring the herbs that can hide their breath, and lay in ambush around the trap one step ahead, and by noon, Lucern would lure the dragon here, let it fall into the trap, and finally the source of fire on Ian's arrow would deliver the dragon's fatal blow.

The plan sounded rosy, and Ian had heard a hunter brag about his hunting experience when he was very young. The hunter set the trap and squatted by the trap for a whole day and a night before finally finding an elk that was about to become extinct.

Although the elk is harmless, its whereabouts are extremely strange and its skills are extremely agile. The hunter had spent a day and a night hunting elk, and he was delighted. But in the end he released the elk, saying that he only hunted the elk to experience the fun of hunting, and in order not to hurt the elk, he also took a lot of trouble with the trap.

"The process of hunting is what the hunter is looking for, and the outcome is not important. "I'm just going to prove that I'm better than it," said the hunter. ”

Ian still admired the hunter, after all, he learned later that in the auction house of the imperial capital, the fur of the elk was auctioned for a sky-high price. But it is almost priceless, for the simple reason that hunters who want to get elk fur can hardly hunt elk, and those who can hunt elk, their goal, is not elk.

"The hunter is not an executioner, and when the prey is dead, the hunter has no meaning in existing. "But I'm not for nothing, I'm afraid you people won't believe that I caught the deer, and that's the tail hair." ”

Ian actually admired that man, he was more of a good old man than a hunter, but his kindness was not rewarded, and the Dragon Emperor finally destroyed everything.

Ian didn't know why he thought of such a thing at this moment, his head was a mess right now. In fact, it was his first hunt, but unlike other beginners, his prey was not a white rabbit, a wild boar, or a harmless and precious elk.

His prey is a dragon, a creature of strength, intelligence, and speed. At least seventy percent of the hunters in this empire have never hunted dragons, and he directly skips these seventy percent. Of the remaining thirty percent of the hunters, there are probably very few who can successfully hunt dragons.

It's an unfair battle, it's like a couple of ants trying to challenge a giant elephant, even if you arm the ants to the teeth, the giant elephant is still a giant elephant. If you step on it, no matter how good your armament is, it will be useless.

"But I don't want to be trampled to death. Ian whispered.

Nicole looked at him and didn't speak. Since returning to the cave yesterday, Nicole has barely talked to Ian, and even when Ian talks to her, she's only dealt with a few words. This made Ian unable to find a chance to apologize, but now that Ian saw that it was still too early to the agreed time, he decided to apologize now.

"That. Ian looked at Nicole's pretty face, hesitated, and said, "I'm sorry for yesterday's incident." ”

"What's the matter?" Nicole didn't even look back.

"Well, I'm really embarrassed that I let you do such a heavy job as a girl. Ian scratched his head and said, "Why don't you scold me a few words to relieve my anger." ”

"No, you don't. Nicole was silent for a moment and shook her head, "I'm not angry because of this. ”

"What's that?" Ian wondered.

Nicole didn't want to pay attention to Ian, but seeing that Ian still didn't understand, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "It's because of my grandfather." ”

"Your grandfather?" Ian wondered even more, she didn't know her grandfather, "I don't understand. ”

"Yes, you don't understand, and you don't have to. Nicole sneered, but there were tears welling up in her eyes, "You don't know that he is the most important person to me, you don't know how sad he is when he dies, so you don't know how much I cherish what he left behind, but you are good, just for a wild boar, you used so much." But I thought about it at the time, after all, I made the mistake first, and you saved my life. But, you still said that afterwards!"

Ian then remembered, at that time he was upset, casually said that he could buy as many things as he wanted when he completed the task. He didn't expect that it would be that sentence that broke Nicole's heart, although he didn't think it was too much, he thought it was just a joke.

Ian was silent for a long time before he said softly, "I'm sorry. ”

Nicole snorted, turned her head again, and stopped looking at Ian. Ian smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time felt that the scene was familiar, as if he had been told that at some point.

After struggling for a while, Ian remembered. When he was in the snowy mountains, the Messiah said the same thing about himself and did not understand anything. At that time, he was complaining about her brother, and as a result, he completely the Messiah.

I'm really good at girls off. Ian thought to himself.

Ian looked at Nicole's angry appearance, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart, he felt that it was not good to go on like this, because soon the two of them would face a big problem of life and death together, and there should be no estrangement. It's just that he didn't know how to speak, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "I take the liberty of asking, when did your grandfather die?"

Nicole didn't want to pay attention to Ian, but when she caught a glimpse of Ian's sincere gaze, she couldn't help but answer: "Four years ago, on my twelfth birthday. ”

"Well, you're luckier than me. Ian said softly, "I didn't have any relatives ten years ago, so I don't know much about these people, please forgive me." ”

Nicole's small mouth slowly grew into an "O" shape.

"Ten years ago, Liuyun Village. If you knew. Ian smiled at her, baring a mouthful of large white teeth.

Nicole didn't know what to say anymore, her grandfather, who used to be a high-ranking merchant in the hall, had told her about it. So she understands the meaning of Liuyun Village ten years ago better than her peers, or perhaps more than many people.

Looking at Ian's heartless smile, her heart was even more at a loss, and in the end, she could only spit out three words softly: "I'm sorry." ”
