470 Untitled (2)
Barton could feel Ian's anger, and after Barlow had said that, he had been calm like an old monk in meditation until then. Keeping calm at all times is a quality a hunter should have, but Ian doesn't do that, Barton feels like he's not exactly a hunter, and in a way, he's more inclined to the powerful race that lives in the sky.
Dragons have reverse scales, and those who touch them die.
"Ian!" Barton snorted, "sober, he's just provoking you, and the [Gornes] behind him is the master." ”
All Barlow could rely on was Gornes. And [Gornis] is obviously not able to pass through the "cobweb" composed of hundreds of iron chains, so it is almost impossible for Barlow to hurt Ian, so he can only force Ian to go down and fight him.
However, Ian, who is both in the air and has no sharp weapons in his hands, will not have the slightest chance of winning against [Gornis]. I'm afraid that I will be killed in an instant, or I will fall directly into the abyss.
Barton's raspy voice pulled Ian's thoughts back. He soon understood his situation, he was now nothing more than a defenseless child, and [Gornis] was a hungry wolf in a cage. The hungry wolf in the cage lures the child closer to the cage with candy, although Barlow's appearance obviously cannot be called candy.
When Ian understood this, he couldn't help but feel a deep fear of [Gornes] in his heart. If things are really like what he thinks, then [Gornes]'s wisdom is really terrifying.
"In [Gornes'] eyes, you are much more precious than Barlow. Barton coughed violently, "So it doesn't hesitate to use Barlow as bait to get you hooked." Don't think of it as a brainless beast, if it really has no intelligence, why did the dwarves almost perish because of it?"
Ian's pupils slowly faded their scarlet hue and cleared up. He's not stupid, Barton has already said this, and he can't fail to understand. Barlow was still yelling, but his voice was getting quieter, and Ian could tell from his pupils that his vitality was fading little by little.
"Let's go. "Let's go to the stone pillar over there, it's too dangerous here." ”
Ian nodded, and asked with some concern, "Your body—"
"I can't die yet. "But I don't know how long I'll last, so while I'm still conscious, I'll finish what needs to be done quickly, or it won't be too late." ”
Ian didn't know what else Barton was going to do, but he certainly had a lot of things to tell him. Now it seems that Barton knows far more things than the previous patriarch of the dwarf race, Manhe. Manhe doesn't know anything about the five underground floors, and his knowledge of Gornes is limited to legends. And Barton obviously knows this very well, when the Hammer family broke away from the dwarves, the ancient books they took with them are the key to everything.
Barlow couldn't scream anymore, he fell to his knees on [Gornis's] head due to his lack of strength, and slowly he couldn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, the blood stuck in his throat fell down in a big gulp, at first it was normal red, but gradually turned dark red, and finally he simply didn't know whether he was spitting blood or some other liquid.
His golden eyes also began to fade, dull. It doesn't look like a majestic dragon, but like a little snake waiting to die at dusk. But he still didn't give up cursing at Ian, but no one could hear what he was saying anymore.
Slowly, Ian couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Yes, he was a heinous man who betrayed the Hunter Squad and abandoned his career as a hunter. The moment he drank the dragon's blood, he also discarded his identity as a human.
Ian remembers such a question.
"Would you rather die as a human or survive as a monster?"
Ian knew that this wasn't a problem for Barlow. Every high-level hunter in a black robe is not afraid of life and death, and he wants more than just survival. He wanted glory, glory above the high-level hunters, the goal that every hunter strives for.
The name of the king.
Ian seemed to be able to understand his feelings, he had been on the hunting path for many, many years. But he still can't see the end, or maybe he has seen the end a long time ago, but he finds that it is not the result he wants.
Once upon a time, Ian still remembers the conversation between the Quasi-Lord [Blade of Avoidance] and the [Monkey King] after a dinner party:
"If this mission is successful, we can be knighted, right?"
"That's what the hall says, but it's not as simple as it says, you know, we are likely to face the Dragon Emperor Mussolini. ”
"Yes, but so what? You know that danger is not coming, you are old. ”
"Of course, it's all here, and it's right to ask for the best result. Except for the king, I have no pursuit in this life, and for this, I am willing to give everything. ”
......
"He's just a poor guy who's gone the wrong way. Ian said softly, "Originally, he would be able to get what he wanted after this mission." ”
Ian seemed to be talking to Barton, and it was like talking to himself. In those few short seconds, he thought about a lot of things and finally came to the conclusion that Barlow was just a poor man. But there must be something hateful about the poor man, for the dead hunters are even more pitiful. So Ian won't forgive him, not anyway.
Barton's mind wasn't clear, and he didn't understand what Ian was saying. But he could feel the loneliness and sadness between Ian's words, and he wanted to calm Ian, but he didn't know where to start. Ian didn't expect Barton to respond, and after one last look at Barlow, he turned and crawled deeper.
The moment he left, Barlow's eyes crossed with despair and sadness, and at the same time there was a hint of relief. He lost all his strength and slowly fell down, but he didn't fall into the abyss, and [Gornes] ate him again, chewing and rattling. In the end, only blood remained, spilling through Gornes's teeth and falling into the abyss.
"He was a glorious hunter in life, but when he died, he became fodder for his prey. Barton said softly, "Is this the sorrow of the hunters?" ”
"He's no longer a hunter, and it's not worth the pain. Ian paused and continued, "No one escapes death. ”
