First Preface. Chapter 15. Starry Night

After the three of us "escaped", we rushed directly to the city lord's office in Nuoguang City without stopping, and put this evidence in the report box, believing that tomorrow the city lord will be able to see our report letter and the report of the temple master. After doing this, we were in a good mood. So Quickknife and I invited the Assassin to our room to rest and talk.

Unexpectedly, this assassin turned out to be called Star Shadow. Moonset. It turned out to be a member of the Starshadow family, which surprised me very much.

"Hey, Brother Falling Moon, why does your Starshadow family sound so familiar? Could it be that you are also a nobleman's surname?" asked Kuaidao.

"Well, that's a long story. "Star Shadow. Falling Moon said.

For more than 200 years, there was a "holy war" between the dragons and the undead, and the dragons and the undead successively became hegemonic, so there was a racial war. The undead war emperor led the undead army to the dragon capital [Atlantis] (note that the main city of the Aran dragon clan was king), which made the Aran Emperor anxious, so he ordered the dragon archmage [Jo Piste] (I will talk about it later, a very important person), to use forbidden magic, in the Hangu Mountains to interpret the law, this is the famous "Hangu War" This war After the dragon used forbidden magic, the dead war emperor suddenly died, so the undead failed again and again, and finally signed the [Holy War Treaty] signed various treaties to the dragon clan to lose their power and humiliate the country.

After the victory of the war, the dragons established the kingdom of Atlantis, and in order to reward the founding fathers, the Emperor of Atlantis gave these meritorious nobles and territories. However, many people have high merit, self-respect, favor and coquettishness, and are domineering, so rebellions broke out, just like Han Wangxin and Huainan Wang Yingbu who were divided by Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Alamthe did not want to let the land, which had just gained its life from the war, be involved in the war again, so he secretly set up a killer organization to eliminate the masterminds of the rebellion and the officials of the "disobedient heart". (Similar to Jinyiwei)

Sure enough, this group of assassin killers with unique skills and strong martial arts quickly eliminated the country's rebel masterminds and those who had conspired against them.

However, this organization was the darkness of the empire, and it was impossible to publicize their exploits to the public, so the Emperor of Alan secretly sent people to kill this group of killer assassins. But what the Emperor did not know was that there was a child who inherited the will of this group of killers.

It turned out that when the group of killer assassins was killed, the two people in the organization had become husband and wife, and the wife was pregnant. The entire organization was boiling, they knew that this child would inherit their will if they were kept, so everyone in the killer organization began to wander and scatter in order to buy time for the birth of this child. And so a few months passed, and the child was born. But at this moment, the only thing left by the killers was the female assassin, the child's mother. The mother gave the child to an assassin she had saved (the kind that did not belong to the Killer Order) and then died in the killing.

The child grew up day by day, and the assassin talent he inherited was also revealed day by day, and he could achieve almost complete concealment aura control, with ghost steps, and other assassin abilities. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the infant has become the prime of life. After years of Assassin education, he had become a man with great skills, a strong will, and a mature mind. The Assassin knew it was time to tell the child what his parents had been through.

When the boy learned the truth, he was so angry that he was determined to avenge his parents, and he wanted to assassinate the Emperor.

He thought of a way, that is, to join the army, and only by achieving immortal feats in the army could it be possible to approach the Emperor of Alan for assassination. happened to catch up with the dragon clan to crusade against the dark elves who went north (this is also the hidden reason why the dark elves hated the dragons in the later period), so this boy embarked on his military career. Sure enough, in the war, his talent and martial arts stood out, and he saw the benevolent side of the dragons (during the war, the Emperor of Aran ordered that no civilians should be harmed, only the Dark Elf resistors should be exterminated, no plunder, and help the Elves restore order).

In the subsequent wars between the south and the north, his reputation in the army also grew, and he found that the war of the dragons was a war to defend the weak and uphold justice. So the arrogance of revenge gradually dissipated.

When Emperor Syria heard of the boy's exploits and victories in battle, he summoned him. He fell into deep thought, and he hesitated.

When the day came to enter the palace, he hesitated to enter the palace, and at this moment he saw the Emperor Aram, and he was sad and wept. On the throne sat a kind-eyed old king, his eyes glowing softly.

"For... Why... Thou art such a kind, such a merciful man, and yet thou art such a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, and a bird with a good bow, and the heroes who have built a meritorious service for your empire, and the killers who assassinated them to quell the war for your empire, and brought the darkness together?" cried and roared the boy.

At this time, the Emperor also burst into tears, "You...... You... Are you a descendant of the killer organization back then? God forbid, if you didn't cut them off, your parents sacrificed for me, but for the common people of the dragon clan, and it was they who quelled the war. With that, the Emperor gave the boy a kneeling kneel. This is the greatest sincerity for a king and an old man.

At this moment, the boy has no desire for revenge, he can only be proud of his parents, because he knows what his parents died for, he is proud and proud, because his parents died for the peace of life.

As a result, the boy was rewarded by Emperor Aram, and the name "Star Shadow" indicates that a person who does not appear in the sun accompanies the bright moon in the moonlight, which is the shadow of the stars, which also makes his life experience more mysterious.

However, Emperor Alan was afraid that the Star Shadow family would become a hidden danger in the future, so he stipulated that each generation of family members could only have one will and surname to inherit the Star Shadow, so as not to grow stronger, which also became a single wear, so the Star Shadow family of all generations would fight to the death because of this only will.

Is this the king pardoning the minister, or the minister pardoning the king?
