378 Postscript I

readx;? When Ian opened his eyes, the sun was shining through the window, warm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dennis sat down on the edge of his bed, raised him a little higher, and said, "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Ian tilted his head and grinned, "It's surprising enough for me to be able to open my eyes, what other good news?"

"Look at your hands. Dennis added, "Left hand." ”

Ian looked down and saw his left hand hanging quietly at the head of the bed. He tried to exert his strength, and his left hand moved effortlessly with his thoughts, as if he had never lost them. But Ian knew it was a new arm, created by the power of God.

"In the heart of the elves holds the remnants of Perseus's Iliad power. Dennis said, "Originally, the queen of the elves, that is, Silufu, wanted Lao Pu to take this Iliad power with Nia to find another place to escape from the world, so that the remaining divine power could continue to protect the elves. ”

"But they returned. ”

"Yes, Nia said that Lao Pu never went against the Queen's wishes. "That day was the only time, and his explanation for that was that Nia had become the new queen." Just after she grew elven wings, if they hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid you'd have been smashed into meat sauce. ”

"I've just picked up a life, can't you say something that pleases your ears?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Seriously, before that day, I always thought that if the power of God was in me, I would do better than you. Dennis whispered, "I have more talent than you, more courage than you, more skilled hunting than you. ”

"You're right. Ian nodded, "If it were you, you would do better than me." ”

"No, I can't replace you, I've got it. Dennis shook his head slowly, "I've asked myself countless times these days, if it was me, after losing an arm, after witnessing the true strength of the Wind King, would I still have the courage to stand up again and give the Wind King the final blow." ”

Dennis stared at Ian: "I found the answer, and that is, no. I've never been in a desperate situation, even in the case of Tellmis, where I passed out early, and you and Nicole and Eric did the rest. I've always thought that if I was awake, I might be the one who hunted Naga. However, that day I knew I was wrong, even though I was not in the middle of the storm, I still lost my courage, and you, in the middle of the storm, completed a counterattack in that desperate situation. ”

"Only in that case. Ian felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, scratched his head and said, "We've already figured out the answer from Naga's body, haven't we? When the dragon flame was first released, it was the weakest time for the dragon king, so at that time it didn't have the strength to break free from the shackles of time and space, so I took advantage of it." ”

"There's no loophole in hunting, Ian. Dennis said, "You should face yourself, you're no longer the High Hunter of the Hall, you know, you're the Lord of Thorns, the First Hunter." ”

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"Do you know what was written on the envelope that Lord Rose gave to the previous Elven Queen?" Dennis said, "Lord Rose wrote that I know your rules, and that the boy who came to take the heart of the elves this time is our future Lord of Thorns. ”

Ian's expression froze.

Dennis patted Ian on the shoulder: "The Rose Lord and the first Lord of Thorns have recognized you at the same time, and the new Elven Queen obviously appreciates you too. It can't be explained by a coincidence, as the King of the Wind, the King of the Sea, and the Lord of Fire all died at your hands, and no one else. ”

Ian didn't know what to say anymore. When did he become a lord, or was he the Lord of Thorns, the first hunter? He noticed the white robe hanging on the hanger, it was Perseus's robe. It's just that it looks a little different now, and Ian remembers that it was torn apart by the Wind King's dragon flame.

"That's the skin of the Wind King. Dennis said, "The Source of the Dragon Slayer has been devouring Nathan's body in a frenzy since his death, and we have only salvaged a tiny fraction of it as trophies. There's also the Wind King's horn, the best-preserved thing, made into the hilt of your guardian sword, and the arrow of the Musk Moon Goddess. Originally, they were too damaged to be usable. ”

"What is this? Wind King suit?"

"It's not the first time. Dennis laughed, "Don't you already have Naga's skull nameplate, Nattimis's horn instrument, and Nathan's sarong and hilt." And these things aren't just for the sake of seeing, we've tried their toughness, and there's basically nothing to break them. Oh, and by the way, they're still insulators, which means you'll be much better off against the Lord of Thunder in the future. ”

"Hell, what's that?" Ian yelled, "You've already helped me decide on my next opponent!"

"Of course. Dennis smiled, "You're the Lord of Thorns now. ”

Ian stroked the blade of the guard, and it was only half left. Nathan destroyed its sharpest sword, turning it into a nondescript short knife. Dennis said that he could go to Alder and ask the Master Alchemist to change the blade, but Ian didn't want to change it because the captain gave it to him.

To put it mildly, this knife still carries Vincent's dreams.

"Hey, the bad news you just told me is that the guardian is damaged?" Ian asked, smiling, tuckling the ward.

"No, not really. Dennis shook his head and whispered, "It's about the Elven Heart." ”

"Elven Heart, what's wrong? Could it be that Nia won't let us take their relics?" Ian scratched his head, "No, you just said that I was the Lord of Thorns, they shouldn't be relinquishing, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with Nia, she agreed to let us take the Elven Heart. However, the Elven Heart is no longer useful to us. ”

Ian put away his smile: "What do you mean?"

"Nia told me that the Elven Heart has never had the function of granting wishes, and that is unrealistic. "It only helps people see what they desire deepest in their hearts, and people mistakenly think that their wishes have been granted." ”

Ian's expression froze.

That is, you can see the healed Messiah in front of the elven heart, but you can't actually heal her. Dennis bowed her head, "Nia said she was sorry for you and should have told you the truth earlier. ”
