259 Night talk

readx;? Karan pretended to be interested in a certain worn-out hunting knife, keeping her eyes on it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info waited until Ian wiped away his tears before he turned his head and said, "I'll give you this painting." ”

Ian shook his head: "Still no, it's your thing, and it's useless for me to ask for it." ”

"It's useless for me to keep it. Karan said, "If you put it with me, you can only take it out at your leisure to look at it and miss the past, but if you put it there, you can still play his last role." ”

Ian looked at Karan in confusion.

"You remember, the four people in this painting, including me, are the only people in the world who can't possibly harm you. Karan whispered, "No, I shouldn't hurt you, you already have two very good friends." However, the four of us are definitely the last help to you, whenever and wherever you are. ”

"I know. Ian nodded, but said sadly, "But is there any point? My grandfather and Cassius are dead." ”

"I'm not dead yet. Karan held out her slender finger and pointed to the last man on the drawing, "He's not dead, and though he's alive like a dried corpse now, he's the one who can help you the most besides me." ”

Ian looked down at the last man on the drawing. Unlike Kalan's sunshine, Cassius's gentleness, and Rudo's coldness, this last man is rebellious. It can be seen from his smile that it gives people a sense of bohemianism. Then Ian noticed that the robe on his body was tattooed with the thorn flower, the hall's logo.

"His name is Gregtor, Lord of Thorns. Karan spoke slowly, "The meaning of the Lord of Thorns is to be the strongest. You can understand that he was once the strongest hunter in the hall. ”

"The strongest hunter?"

"That's right, but not anymore. Karan sighed, "There have been many, many things that have happened over the years, and if I really had to list them all, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish writing three or four books." I hope you will never bother him, but until then, if I die, he will indeed be your last support. ”

"I don't really understand. Ian sniffed the impending disaster in Karan's words.

"Originally, these things had been sealed in the dust, and it was supposed to accompany me to the grave. ”

Karan paced in front of the dragonhead, staring into the dragonhead's hollow eyes. In the candlelight, each bone on the dragon's head was darker in a different way, and at first glance it looked a little strange, as if the once ferocious dragon, not yet dead, still woke up from time to time, looking at these weapons that sent it to hell with hatred.

"How many years. Karan said slowly, "The struggle between the human race and the dragon race has lasted for many years, and perhaps no one has an accurate answer. Ever since the first hunter in human history raised his hunting knife against dragons, the relationship between humans and dragons has shifted from food and predators to equal status, two undying races. ”

"For dragons, humans are the best food, and for hunters, dragons are the most challenging prey. Many, many things have happened in these long years of confrontation between predation and hunting. Sometimes the humans win, like in Tellmis, and sometimes the dragons lose, like in the flowing clouds. ”

Ian's heart shuddered. He participated in both wars, one win and one loss.

"Ten years ago we lost badly, almost everything. Karan slowly turned her head and stared into Ian's eyes, "And ten years later we won, do you know why?"

"The Source of the Dragon Slayer?"

"That's one reason, it's Cassius who gave me the weapon, but there's another reason. Karan looked at Ian with burning eyes, as if to see him through, "And you, you are the Iliad, another weapon that Rudo gave me, am I right?"

Ian's expression froze.

"Don't be so surprised. Karan smiled slightly, "I always know more than my grandson and granddaughter about what is in the snowy mountains. But only in legends, the legendary gods, the rulers of the World Tree. Don't be surprised, all the books the Messiah reads come from my study. ”

Hearing Karan say this, Ian's originally shocked heart slowly calmed down. It should have been a terrible thing for his biggest secret to be known, but when he thought about it, it wouldn't be a big deal if he knew about Karan. Ian also believed what he said, he was one of the few people who would not harm him, although Ian didn't know why he thought so, and he and Karan didn't know each other well. In the end, it can only be attributed to the convincing power of Karan.

After the Drifting Cloud Incident, Rudo went crazy and wanted to kill Mussolini. "But let's not say that he can't find Mussolini, and even if he does, he won't be his opponent." Rudo was well aware of this, so soon, he set his sights on another point, which was to find the power that would kill Mussolini. ”

"That power is the Iliad?"

"The Iliad is not a power, but a god. Karan corrected, "It's just that no one knows if such an ethereal thing as a god really exists. Moreover, a power greater than Mussolini's sounded too much like a legend than a reality. ”

"But Rudo didn't care about that, and soon he disappeared from the imperial capital, and after that, we never saw him again. Karan's tone slowly lowered, "At first, we were able to know where he was occasionally, but then, we couldn't find anyone at all. But I knew what he was doing, he was trying to find the Iliad, and it was a ten, a whole ten. ”

"When everyone was about to forget about him, my grandson Kyomon found him and shared with him the information about the Iliad in my library. Karan whispered, "This was originally the secret history of the Stuart family, but it was revealed by my grandson. And then you can probably guess what happened, my grandson took a group of people and went into the snowy mountains with him. A few weeks later, my granddaughter made the same journey. ”

What happened next is what Ian experienced firsthand. The Messiah's team met him in Blackstone City, rescued himself, and then went into the snowy mountains together. Ian had known these things for a long time, but he still had one of the biggest doubts.

"Why did Jingmen enter the Snow Mountain?" Ian asked, staring into Karan's eyes, "The Messiah said it was to save her, so what happened to the Messiah?" ”

This is the biggest question, one that has plagued Ian for a long, long time. This question was like a dagger hanging over his heart, which could be pierced and pierced through his heart at any moment.

Karan was silent.
