XI First Night
readx;
That night, the team was very dull. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, watching, lighting a fire, cooking, and Jimmy and Sika sat together and whispered about the next trip. Ian, who was bored, looked at the Messiah sitting by the fire in a daze, hesitated, and leaned over.
Messiah heard a rustling sound and turned his head to meet Ian's bright smiling face.
"Don't be upset. Ian stretched out his hand to bake the fire and said lazily, "I haven't found your brother yet." I'm sure he'll be fine. ”
The Messiah looked at her, then turned his head away and said nothing. Her dark blue eyes were now reflecting the dancing candles, which were exceptionally bright.
Ian pouted, yes, the girl was starting to ignore people again. He knew that the Messiah was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to take a stick and poke the firewood, which crackled and crackled when swallowed by the candles, and the fire became stronger.
"What it's like to lose the most important person. The Messiah spoke suddenly.
Ian was stunned and turned to look at the Messiah. I saw that the Messiah was putting his hands under his knees, holding his legs, and the whole person was curled up, like a docile cat. She didn't look at Ian as she spoke, she still stared at the candle, as if she hadn't asked the question.
But Ian knew she was asking herself, and there was no one else around. So he scratched his head and said, "I was sad at first, but then I got used to it." This continent will not collapse without anyone, so it is time to eat, drink, and do something. ”
"Is that your answer?" muttered the Messiah, looking at the candle, "no wonder you've survived the Plague of Clouds and are still living so heartlessly." ”
"I'll take that as a good thing. Ian grinned, "Here, get something to eat." ”
Ian pulled out a long strip of black object from the cloth bag he was carrying. The Messiah turned his head to look at it, revealing a look of confusion.
"Dried beef. Ian explained, then tore a small piece off with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then handed it to the Messiah, "Eat some." ”
The Messiah had never eaten anything so weird, and her instincts told her she couldn't eat it. So she shook her head again and again.
Ian shook his head with a sigh, and then said vaguely while eating: "This is a specialty of Hall Village, the beef is well preserved after drying, and the hunters who enter the snowy mountains will bring a few dried beef." Even if you get lost in an avalanche, a bite of dried beef and a bite of butter tea will be fine. ”
At such a close distance, the Messiah could already smell the smell of beef coming from Ian's mouth. She was indeed a little hungry after not eating much all day, but she couldn't pull her face and ask Ian again, so she pouted and continued to study the fire candle in front of her.
Before Ian entered the snowy mountain, he really brought enough butter tea of dried beef, and he thought that if he ran into a dragon, he would definitely not be able to beat it. If he can't beat it, he will definitely have to run, and if he gets separated from his teammates, so many things will be enough for him to eat for a few days, and maybe he will go out as soon as he is lucky.
I have to say that he always has a unique idea when it comes to saving his life.
"Why didn't you take revenge on the dragons after the Plague of the Clouds?" the Messiah turned to Ian again, "I've seen many people who have survived the Plague, and they are eager to join the Hall and take revenge on the dragons. And yet you didn't. ”
Ian took a sip of butter tea, burped loudly, and felt warm in his body, like a stove. Then he answered the Messiah as he collected his things: "Because I can see it, I just want to live." ”
Displeased with Ian's answer, the Messiah muttered quietly, "Coward." ”
Ian grinned, not trying to defend anything.
It is precisely because he has experienced the disaster of the clouds that he wants to live more than anyone else. Even if you live a miserable life, even if you live without dignity. You never know when disaster will come, but he just wants to have fun in the moments leading up to it.
As my father said one night when he was drunk, "Even if tomorrow time is going to be destroyed, I will be happy today." Smile and tell people what a beautiful and touching wife and well-behaved and lovely son I have. ”
Ian misses his father a little, so he looks up at the moon. Then he smiled and said to the Messiah, "Look at how round the moon is tonight, be happy." ”
The Messiah turned his head: "Heartless, heartless." ”
......
"Miss. "Jimmy was half-kneeling in front of the Messiah," said the patrolling sentry, discovering a cave at the bottom of the cliff ahead. It's so deep that you can't shine it with a torch. ”
Ian, who was preparing to go to bed on the side, instantly lost his sleepiness and sat up from the snow.
The Messiah, who was wrapped in an overcoat, also looked serious: "Estimate what is inside." ”
Jimmy and Sika glanced at each other and said softly, "I can't guess it." Our people know too little about the snowy mountains, but we suspect that it may be some kind of large creature's nest, but it's just a vent because the wind can blow inside. ”
"Then look for the right mouth. ”
Sika shook her head: "It's hard, we've already seen it at dawn." These snowy mountains are connected together, and it will take at least a few days to find them. And it's not sure if it's a nest or not, and you shouldn't spend too much time on it. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Me or Jimmy, pick a few people to go in and find the way. "If it's just an ordinary cave, we'll withdraw and continue on our way." If there is anything......"
Sika took a deep breath: "Look at luck." ”
Everyone was silent, and Ian knew the crux of the matter, but he was wrapped in his coat and shrunk aside, not daring to take a breath. The atmosphere became tense.
In the end, it was the Messiah who broke the silence: "When." ”
"Now. "If there are any of our people in there, the sooner we can pick them up, the better." ”
The Messiah nodded: "Go early and come back early." ”
The two also nodded, and Sika got up and ordered a few people. Those who were ordered also got up and began to organize their equipment, and everyone was silent. The people who packed their things calmly packed their things, and the people who stayed behind helped them straighten their armor and check the state of the silver crossbow. It's like a silent drama where everyone is an actor and only Ian is the audience.
Sika slung his backpack on his back and raised his torch. When he was about to leave, he suddenly hesitated. His gaze searched the crowd, finally stopping at Ian's face, and then walking towards him alone.
He walked over to Ian, and the campfire stretched his shadow long, long.
Ian didn't know what Sika was doing when he came to him, and was stunned: "Big brother, you didn't ask me, did you? ”
"Do you know Insyx?" asked Sika.
"You know, an old dwarf told me a few days ago that he was the patron saint of the snowy mountains. Ian muttered, "Big brother, don't you tell me that if you have a problem, shout at Insykes to save me, and the dragon will fly to me and take me away." ”
Sika ignored Ian's last words, and continued, "I once read in a certain ancient book that the one who attacked Liuyun Village ten years ago was most likely a Dragon Emperor-level dragon. ”
"Dragon Emperor?"
"The tallest dragon in the dragon class. Sika patted Ian on the shoulder, "And because of Sykes, a hundred years ago, he was already determined to be the Dragon Emperor. ”
Ian's right hand shuddered, and the scar on his arm seemed to burn. But he pretended not to care and said, "What are you talking to me about this kind of thing?"
"You'll understand later. ”
Sika pinned a short sword from his waist, similar to the Messiah's, but the Messiah's one was inlaid with sapphires, and his one was a black gem, and he placed the short sword in Ian's hand. Ian felt the weight of the dagger and looked up at Sika in confusion.
"My brother died in Liuyun Village ten years ago. Sika said very calmly, "But I always believe in the prophecy of the eldest lady, you are the only one who survived the Dragon Emperor level Dragon Flame." Hope you are a miracle. ”
"Hey, hey, hey. Ian was dumbfounded, "What the hell are you talking about? Can you explain it one by one, I have limited comprehension?"
Sika glanced at Ian meaningfully, then turned to greet the person he had ordered, "Go, brothers." ”
Six or seven men carried silver crossbows and crossed swords, and the rest of them stood up and watched as they slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Ian looked down at the dagger in his hand, still confused. After he came to this team, he didn't talk to Sika much, and his only impression of Sika was that he liked to be silent.
It was the first time he had said so much to himself.
However, except for the first sentence, he didn't understand the rest of it. It's just that he knows that his brother is also a hall hunter who died in the Wandering Cloud Disaster, but Sika's words, why do they sound so like last words?
"What did Sika say to you?" Unexpectedly, for the first time, the Messiah took the initiative to speak to Ian.
"Guess?" Ian raised an eyebrow, and withdrew the dagger back into the sack.
"You don't have to carry me. The Messiah said calmly, "It was given to you by Sika, and it has nothing to do with me." I'm not that stingy either. ”
"A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry. Ian looked at the pretty face of the Messiah and felt the urge to pinch it again. But it was flashed away by the Messiah in time, and then seeing that her pretty face was almost covered with a thick layer of frost, Ian hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered, "Blame me, blame me." ”
The Messiah really didn't want to talk to Ian anymore, so he just turned around and left. Ian could only scratch his head and giggle in place.
What an unrestful night. Ian thought.
