It was late at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Ian didn't feel sleepy, he lay on his desk, staring blankly at the roof. There was a spider web on the roof, I don't know how many years ago, if it wasn't in an absolute shelter from the wind, I'm afraid a breeze would have dissipated it.

Ian placed the candlestick on the floor, the fuel was almost gone, and the faint candlelight swayed in the windless environment. After devouring the last bit of fuel, the "poof" went out, and the little house was plunged into darkness, and the fragile cobwebs changed as if they had become a huge palm, slowly pressing towards Ian. In a blur, it turned into a dragon claw again, sharp and sharp.

Ian turned to his side and saw Nicole sleeping on the bed. He and Nicole signed their names during the day on a list of the "Kingkillers" squad. The moment he signed, he felt like he had given his life for the time being, and he wondered if anyone else but himself would feel this way.

It doesn't seem like it, because Arnold's new alchemy weapon gives people too much confidence. He didn't see the new alchemy weapon, because it was in a box, the same one as the Muskmoon Goddess. The Musk Moon Goddess was in his hands, and the so-called new weapon was given to the high-ranking hunter, Jeff Myers. It is said that it is like the source of fire, tied to the arrow of the silver crossbow, and when Div shoots that arrow, the dragon king of fire Naga will die.

The task of the rest of the people is simple, it is to find the Naga of Fire and then protect the arrow that Div fired, and that's it.

But is it really that easy? Ian didn't know, he was very conflicted, on the one hand, of course, he hoped that it would be so easy, so that he could get three hundred gold coins with very little to do. On the other hand, he didn't want it to be so easy, because if the Dragon King was really that easy to kill, wouldn't those who died ten years ago seem too worthless?

The more Ian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and finally he sat up from his desk and looked up at the Muskmoon Goddess bathed in the moonlight, stunned.

......

"Explained?" Cassius sat in his chair, looking at Arnold, who had just entered the room.

"Explain. Especially with Div emphasized many times that the source of the dragon slayer must be handled with care. ”

Arnold said softly, looking at Cassius, a little stunned. Because Cassius was also wearing a black robe tonight, but unlike their black robe, the chest of this black robe, as well as the back, were embroidered with a lifelike sunflower. The part of the heart of the sunflower is also made of a special alchemy material, which will shine brightly in the sun.

This outfit represents the chief alchemist of the hall, Lord Sunflower.

Arnold couldn't help but bend his waist: "Lord Lord." ”

Cassius grabbed his collar with his withered right hand, looked down at the sunflower on his chest, and whispered, "I haven't worn this dress in years." ”

"It still fits, Lord Lord. Arnold bowed his head and said, "You can still wear it and wait for the triumphant return of the 'Kingkiller' team." ”

Cassius chuckled and said, "I remember when I put on this dress, there were a few other people around me. ”

"Father and I mentioned it, Greg Thor, Lord of the Thorns, Karan Stuart, Lord of the Roses, Rudo Kraft, Lord of the Plum Blossoms, and you. ”

"Your father seems to know me well, but I can't remember his name. Cassius said apologetically.

"Father won't care about this, as long as you are well, he will be at ease in heaven. ”

"The more you say that, the more uneasy I become, I can't even remember such a person. Do you know Arnold, in the past ten years since I got sick, I have been desperately thinking, desperately trying to remember, who I am and what I am going to do. I tend to forget things that take me days to remember, and then I spend longer thinking about who I am and what I'm going to do. ”

"But now that you're well, we can see it for so many days. Arnold said, "Forget about the unpleasant things, the 'King Slayer' Raid will open a new chapter in the dragon slaying in the Hall, and you are the master of the first chapter." ”

Cassius smiled and shook his head, he struggled to get up, Arnold tried to help him, but he refused: "I can still walk." ”

He walked slowly, and when he reached the fireplace, he was already sweating like rain. It's just that Arnold didn't see it, and he was still immersed in the "new chapter of dragon slaying". There was a wooden chaise longue beside the fire, and Cassius sat down tremblingly, and the chaise longue creaked.

"Arnold, promise me one thing. ”

"I will not give up. ”

"But I want you to bet everything you have. Cassius looked at Arnold with those cloudy eyes, "I want you to bet everything you have, your reputation as the lord of Alchemy City, and your reputation as the Adams family." ”

Arnold realized that something was wrong, but he hesitated for a moment, but nodded firmly: "Bet everything on me and follow the orders of Lord Sunflower." ”

"That's good, Arnold. Cassius smiled slightly, "You have to remember my next words, you have to remember every word clearly, and you can't interject." ”

"I don't dare to forget a word, and I won't interrupt. ”

"Very good, listen. If this mission fails, and there is a problem with the source of the dragon slayer, then you will burn down the laboratory where I work, and there will be nothing left. Cassius paused, "If this mission is successful and the Source of the Dragon Slayer kills Naga, then you will go to my laboratory, the penultimate drawer, there is a refining method for the Source of the Dragon Slayer." Then take it to the Imperial Capital and give it to Karan Stuart. ”

After Cassius finished speaking, Arnold's face had turned pale: "My lord, who are you?"

"Don't interrupt it, Cassius. Cassius's voice grew softer and softer, and by the light of the fire, Arnold could faintly see that Cassius's pupils were dilating.

"Your Excellency!" Arnold jerked to his feet, and was about to run towards Cassius, but was stopped by Cassius.

Cassius made a silent gesture: "In the name of my lord, I command you not to take a step forward." I'm just tired, let me sleep for a while. ”

Arnold didn't dare to move, he could only watch as Cassius slowly closed his eyes. The wooden chaise longue shook gently, and the old man seemed to be asleep, and the old man's body swayed gently with the chaise longue. So the light of the fire from the fireplace stayed in a different position on the old man's body every second, so that the sunflower on his chest was sometimes bright and dazzling, sometimes dim and godless.

After a long time, Cassius opened his eyes again. At this time, his eyes were no longer in focus, and he just stared blankly at the fireplace, as if feeling the warmth coming from the fireplace.

"Swap kings for kings, and to kill a king, you always have to pay the same price. Cassius whispered the last sentence, then closed his eyes and tilted his head, never to wake up again. The chaise longue slowly stopped shaking, and the sunflower was finally buried in the shadows. The old man's side face was bathed in warmth, but his body was stuck in the cold.

Arnold had already burst into tears, and he knelt down with a puff, his body trembling uncontrollably.

......

Karan got out of bed, put on her pajamas and walked to the window. The moon was big and bright tonight, and it gently sprinkled the moonlight in front of the window and on the old man's face. The old man looked up at the moon, and a few cloudy tears slowly overflowed from his eyes.

"Old friend, let's go. ”

Karan whispered, then pulled a small wooden box out of his pajama pocket. He took out two red pills from the small wooden box and put them in his mouth, biting them rattling.
