"How do you know that?" I said, my eyes wide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I remember when my mother taught me to write elven script, she mentioned this thing. She said that the soul of all Aifen people, even if their bodies were not under the shadow of the sacred tree Terraun, was bound to the sacred tree, and that evidence was in our eyes.

Our iris is as green as emerald, and this is the color of the sacred tree. It stays with us all our lives, until we die. But if the Aifen people break their promises and do not do what they say, they will destroy their bond with the sacred tree, and then the emerald green of this person will turn to a burnt yellow like a dead leaf, and the people will know that this person cannot be trusted.

Speaking of which, my mother's rhetoric bothered me a lot, and I didn't believe it or dare to try it. So I went to my father and confided in him. Relatively speaking, I agree with my father, who said that the elves are already scarce in number, and if fraud becomes rampant, it will be even weaker, and for this reason every elf has an obligation to uphold the truth. He also complained that D'Estaing couldn't even find a member of the Elvish clan, and who would listen to the "nonsense" paraphrase? So, where did the big boss hear this rumor?

With such confusion, I didn't know how to look directly into the eyes in front of me, this action may have offended the big boss, he frowned slightly, a pair of eyes flickering in the candlelight, the color of the eyes like amber and autumn leaves.

"I have to repeat, now I'm asking. ”

The big boss suddenly chuckled. I saw that his brow was furrowed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sudden fear suddenly arose in his heart, and as soon as I tried to turn my head away from his gaze, he reached out and fixed my head.

"Look at me. He commanded.

I was forced to meet his gaze, and he raised the corners of his mouth, and then continued: "I have a new idea this time, and I want you to watch me answer the following questions, questions that can't be easily answered with a 'yes' or 'no'. ”

As soon as he said this, he raised his hand and gestured. The quiet man, who had been curled up on the ground, saw this action, and jumped out of the room in a hurry without waiting to straighten his waist.

After a while, the door of the house was closed, and there were only me and the big boss left in the house. Unconsciously tugging at my fingers, he widened the distance between us a little, and then looked at me as if he were looking at a handicraft and said, "Your eyes are very pure emerald green...... Let's wait and see if these eyes will turn into a disgusting color. Right now...... Tell me, what kind of person do you think the shopkeeper is?"

The big boss suddenly glanced in the direction of the door, and I watched him swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the terrifying face of the shopkeeper reappeared in my mind.

He ...... He's scary when he's angry...... There will be black scales coming out. ”

"That's all? What do you think of Pedot? I heard that he brought you here, and he told me that he wanted to be your mentor. ”

"No!" I instinctively shook my head. "He was very strange, he gave me chills from my bones, and the shopkeeper said he would eat me, and I didn't even have any bones left......"

"Do you believe the shopkeeper, do you think he won't deceive?"

"I don't know, but he said he didn't tell lies, and I think ...... This statement is true. ”

"Hmm...... Let's change the question, your parents are probably terrible, right?"

"What?" I frowned.

"Isn't it bad enough for them to give you over to Peduo? ”

The big boss suddenly smiled contemptuously, and I noticed through his mouth that he was silently cursing a "cheap", and the whole person suddenly became excited.

"They didn't sell me to anyone else!" I shouted.

"Oh, they didn't sell you, they just threw you away, didn't they? Because you're such a burden. ”

"No, they didn't abandon me!"

I continued to refute, but each time I retorted, I was met with more ridicule. The big boss stirred that snake-like tongue and twisted his parents into profit-hungry villains, and I was not as clever as him, and finally I was forced to say the last thing I wanted to say - they were all dead!

The room was silent for a moment, and you could hear pins dropping. I savored the bitterness of the words in my heart, and I only felt as if I had been drenched in ice water. Suddenly, a salty taste soaked in from the corners of my mouth, and my brow furrowed even tighter.

"Has anyone asked you in detail what happened?" the big boss touched my cheek, and I saw a teardrop on his finger, and quickly wiped the tears off his face with his hand.

"Only one of the people who sold me asked my parents why they didn't, and the others didn't...... Each of them only asked me if I had any other family. I replied mechanically.

"Then tell me what happened, and how you ended up in this place?" he reached out and stroked my hair again, just as gently as my mother had comforted me. I breathed a sigh of relief, and the man relaxed like a sparrow with its feathers puffed up in the sun.

"That day, someone took my father away and said he was going to ask him something...... "I calmly recounted, as if I was telling someone else's story, but when I had finished telling all the things I remembered, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with my memory - how could I wake up from the closed cupboard when my mother and I were attacked in our home that day, and we were knocked unconscious against the wall?

"I ...... There's something I can't remember. "I buried my hands in my hair, trying to pull the missing memory out of my head, but the memory was so empty that I couldn't even touch the slightest clue!

"Do you remember what name I gave you?" asked the Big Boss.

I shook my head helplessly.

"Your name is Akachi, a wise man who dies all his life and doesn't make many useless memories. ”

"Ah...... Kutch. ”

"Very well, your voice does sound like a yellow finch, now say that name a few more times. The big boss egged.

I repeated the name over and over again at his request, and the old confusion gradually subsided in the mechanical repetition, and the new confusion blurted out.

"Why are they doing this? Who are they?"

A thought popped into my mind - the guys who framed my parents were obviously getting complacent, because they weren't the ones who died, they weren't the ones who suffered, and they really deserved to die!

"You know, child, maybe your destiny is to become an assassin so that you can get justice for yourself and your family through death, after all, everyone is equal in the face of death. The big boss said. After a pause, he continued to ask: "There is a man named Cruelly who can help you get justice, but he will not help people for no reason, he wants unconditional obedience and absolute loyalty, will you swear allegiance to him?"

"I will, but who is Crulley?" I asked.

"I am the one you swear allegiance to, and I am Cruley. The big boss smiled again.
