The people who suddenly appeared around were like lifeless puppets. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They walked forward stiffly, and soon came to the side of the cordon, at this distance, Nicole could also see that something was wrong with them, and the blank expressions made Nicole couldn't help but overflow into a cold sweat.

They crossed the cordon and walked slowly past them as if they hadn't seen Ian and Nicole. Nicole hesitated, but still reached out and grabbed one of the women: "This lady, you can't go inside." ”

The woman slowly turned her head, and a pair of unfocused eyes looked at Nicole very blankly: "Why?"

Her voice was light, as if she had been starved for days.

"There's a cordon in the hall. Nicole said, "There must be danger inside, you are unarmed, you should not continue to go inside." Oops, didn't you hear me? Two of them going inside!"

Ian also reached out and grabbed one of them. But what he didn't expect was that the man seemed to be weak all over, and Ian only used a little force before the man fell to the ground.

"Hey, Ian, what are you doing!" Nicole glared at Ian, and hurriedly let go of the woman to help the man on the ground, "You're okay, it's all because he's not good, clumsy-"

Before Nicole finished speaking, she couldn't go on. Because the man looked up at her, she realized that the man's eye sockets were sunken, and at first glance they looked like two holes. Nicole was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand, while the man slowly got up and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, you!" Nicole turned around, trying to hold the man again, but Ian stopped her. Nicole glared at him angrily, "Why are you doing? Can't you help?"

"Didn't you hear?"

"Didn't you hear anything, hey, can you not get nervous at this time, life is at stake, let me go!" Nicole struggled, but Ian didn't let go of his hand, but slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, he felt the World Tree behind him grow and spread again. His hearing suddenly strengthened countless times, and he could hear many sounds that he would not normally hear, such as the fluttering of the wings of flying insects, the rustle of branches and leaves in the breeze, the sound of lava tumbling in a distant active volcano...... In the midst of all this chaotic noise, Ian also caught a voice, an ancient, solemn moan.

......

With her back to Rudo Kraft's tombstone, Karan sat down slowly, looking up at the gloomy sky, her already cloudy eyeballs reflecting floating dark clouds. And the Messiah's eyes never left the other tombstone, and she looked at the word "Ian" carved on it, and she was stunned.

"Child, I remember you loved to read. So do you know how many years have passed since the hall was officially established?" Karan asked.

"Three hundred and twenty-seven years. The Messiah replied.

"That's right, three hundred and twenty-seven years sounds like a long time. But the years of dragons fighting against humans are far more than these three hundred and twenty-seven years. ”

"I know that humans have been fighting dragons for almost a thousand years. The hall was founded three hundred and twenty-seven years ago by several famous hunter families. The Messiah calmly spoke of the history of the hall, "These things are written in books, and in my study, these books are all there. ”

"yes, you've loved reading since you were a kid. Karan smiled, "You and I do, and your brother, it's like a tradition in our family." ”

"Yes, but your so-called tradition did not reach my father. If he would read more books instead of wandering around all kinds of balls, he probably wouldn't have me. The Messiah said, "I have not seen my mother until now. ”

"Your mother is beautiful—"

"Very beautiful, very noble, very dignified, isn't it? You say this sentence from the novel to the adulthood, as long as it is a woman related to the Stuart family, these are all these three adjectives, even if she is a wandering warbler who has been hanging out at the ball all year round?"

Karan's face changed, but she quickly regained her composure: "You know everything?"

The Messiah turned his head: "I should have known how I came to be." ”

"But I'm not lying to you, any woman, from the moment she becomes a mother, is beautiful, noble, and dignified. Karan shook her head lightly and sighed, "You still haven't grown up, and you still don't know what to say and what not to say." ”

The Messiah did not answer.

Karan slowly stood up with the tombstone, and his movements were a little difficult: "In fact, not everything has been recorded in the book, why is the history of mankind fighting against dragons for thousands of years only recorded in the past hundred years, do you know?"

The Messiah still didn't say anything, didn't even look at Karan. And Karan said to herself: "Because at that time, it was not called fighting, it was called fleeing." We are like food, chased by dragons, and many people die every day, either from dragon claws, or from disease. In fact, far more people die from disease than from dragon's claws, and fear accelerates the spread of disease while also destroying human immunity. At that time, a small cold can be fatal. ”

"We don't have time to deal with the disease, because the dragons are always chasing us. We had to keep running, and we had to leave a lot of corpses every day, and we couldn't, and we didn't have time to bury those corpses alive, because they would be picked up and eaten by other animals. So we had to burn them on the spot, and hundreds of corpses were burned every day. ”

"But it's useless to just run, the dragons are too fast. So every night, the people who survived would draw lots, and the people who were drawn stayed to snipe the dragons, which were the original hunters. No, they can't be counted as hunters, they can only be said to be the first to fight against dragons, but they can't do anything but use food to slow down the dragons' pursuit. ”

The Messiah's body trembled unconsciously, and Karan continued as if he hadn't seen it, "But although it was a lottery, the result was still very unfair. Because the strong men are going to stay, they are going to run fast, the women are going to stay, they are going to reproduce, the children are going to stay, because they are hope. So, a lot of times, the ones who stay are old people like me, who are no longer worthless, so they should die. ”

And so it was, and so people ran, and ran, and ran and ran for many, many years, and finally one day, one person stopped running. He couldn't watch his father die, so he put the thorn flower on his head and ran to everyone and said, 'Hey, we're humans, not animals, why don't we resist?' The man said, "I'm going to die anyway, so why can't I choose how I want to die?" I don't want to die as food, I want to die, and I want to die as a warrior. ”

Karan looked at the Messiah and said word by word: "He is the first person to have the heart to fight, so he is the first hunter." ”
