By the time Ian broke free from the sea of consciousness, it was all over, and he shot the arrow with his own hands, delivering the dragon's fatal blow. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info he lowered his head, and the dragon flame mark on his right arm returned to its original appearance again, and there was no burning sensation, but it looked like an ordinary tattoo.

"Ian. Rudo's voice came, "Come down and talk to me." ”

Ian looked at it, and his heart trembled. I saw Rudo sitting on a wooden ladder against the stone wall, his feet hanging in the air. He had lost an arm, so that his entire body was covered in blood, and his face had turned unusually pale from the loss of too much. So Ian knew that another person was going to leave him, and although he had only known the old man for a short time, for some reason he walked towards him with a heavier mood than when Carl died.

"Give me the pipe. Rudo said.

Ian silently lit the pipe and handed it to him. He took the pipe and took a hard puff, his face changed a little, he turned to look at Ian, and smiled: "I am old, if I am ten years younger, I will not pay attention to this kind of dragon." ”

Ian nodded, "I believe." ”

He was not perfunctory to the old man, nor did he say something against his will when he saw that the old man was about to leave. Because he really believed that if the old man was ten years younger, his reflexes and speed would definitely be better than now, and at that time, perhaps without his arrow, the old man would be able to cut off the dragon's head himself.

With his only remaining hand, the old man trembled and handed the dagger to Ian, and said, "Go to the hall, you can't hide." ”

Ian's eyes were red, and he forced a smile and said, "You still care about yourself, your state is not very good." ”

"It's dead, what's there to care about. Rudo smiled freely, "Everyone will come this far, and even everyone in the hall will be mentally prepared." But you, don't change the subject, you're not weak, are you? Without that arrow, we'd all die. ”

"But. Ian raised his hands, looked at the fine lines in his hands, and felt a deep powerlessness, "I can't control this power, and now I feel that I am no different from ordinary people." ”

"Sooner or later, you'll be able to master it, when you need it. Rudo looked at Ian kindly, "Do you have any other concerns?"

Ian hesitated, but said, "I just want to be a human being." ”

Being a person sounds like a very simple thing. But for Ian, it is very difficult, he would rather be a person who is looked down upon and needs to pick up food and steal every day to survive. I don't want to be a "person" who has been infected with the blood of the Dragon Emperor and shoulders the power of the gods.

"Ian Iliad. Rudo raised his voice before forcing the dagger into Ian's hand, "This is your mission! You're the only one in thousands of years who has carried the World Tree, and you should put an end to this." ”

The last sentence, Rudo almost roared, and blood spurted from his mouth onto Ian's face. After finishing speaking, he seemed to have lost all the strength of his body, and leaned against the stone wall in despair. Ian noticed that he was starting to breathe in less and exhaling more.

"I'll talk to you later, let me take a break. Ludo closed his eyes and spoke a lot softer, "By the way, you can bury me later, I don't want to sit here and be a dry corpse." ”

"I will. Ian nodded.

"If you can, help me erect a monument. Rudo said softly, "It says that the tomb of Old Rudo, the Plum Blossom King, is buried here." ”

Ian nodded again: "It's a little difficult, but I'll do my best." Where's your last name?"

"What's the last name?" Ludo opened his mouth, but finally closed it for some unknown reason, "The last name or something, it doesn't matter. ”

"Surnames don't matter?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. Rudo shuddered, and his voice became quieter, and Ian could only hear it by putting his ear to his mouth, "Well, the Plum King doesn't matter. You can carve it like this, and here is the burial of old Rudo, Menil Tina's husband. ”

Ian silently jotted down the name.

Rudo's next words Ian couldn't hear them clearly, perhaps because the blood had blocked his throat. Ian couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and then Rudo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ian, a touch of softness flashed on his hideous old face.

"Let me take one last look at you, Ian. Ludo muttered, then tilted his head and completely lost his breath.

It's just that his eyes haven't been closed, and just like that, the two looked at each other strangely for a long time, and finally Ian reached out and closed his eyes.

"Thank you. Ian muttered.

......

Even though Ian was reluctant to admit it, after inheriting the heart of the Iliad, he was much more physical. Although my physical fitness was good when I was already a thief, I didn't feel as good as I do now. Ian walked back to the island, tied the Messiah to his back, and then picked up Rudo's body and walked down the wooden ladder.

His reflexes have also improved a lot, and he can always jump over the wooden ladder before it is broken, so he is not slow even with two people. Finally he returned to the chamber, and the Messiah still hadn't woken up, but the fever had subsided considerably.

Ian took the leftover food from the dead and went down one of the four passages. But this time he chose a new passage, a road to the dark. As he walked out of the passage, he found himself in a snow ditch, so he buried Rudo there.

However, he did not have a stone tablet, so he could only use a dagger to carve words on the ground. Engraved are the words "Tomb of Lord Rudo of the Plum Blossoms, a kind old man who is also the husband of Menil Tina".

Let's hope Rudo won't be surprised.

Then he carried the Messiah on his back and walked down the snowy gully, and he did not know when he would reach the end, but he knew that he had walked for a long, long time, and several days and nights. Just when he doubted that he would never be able to get out, he suddenly saw more than a dozen ice sculptures.

It was the Messiah's brother, the team of Kyomen Stuart. Ian went back to where they started, and he had told Carl that there was dragon flame down there, but now it seemed to be gone. There was a rope hanging down from the snow ditch, which was originally intended to save people. It's just that the man didn't go up again, but now he saved Ian.

Ian pulled out a little more food from the bodies of several ice sculptures, and then carried the Messiah on the rope. When he came out, he found that it was indeed the camp at the beginning, and now he finally came to the spirit and knew the way back. Almost all the way back.

It wasn't until he saw the smoke curling from the village of Hall that he finally relented, then lost consciousness and plunged into the snow.
