17. Hawkes' funeral

Looking at Elivan's distorted expression and the oozing smile, Pars and the donkey took a step back in unison, not to be afraid, mainly because it was too infiltrating, as for the Hawkes butler who was fully under the pressure of Elivan, but he had seen through the taste of life and death, he just stood there, his hands spread, except for the awkward prison uniform and the face full of wind and frost on his body, the body that was trying to stand upright, although it was gray, but it could be seen that he had tried his best to get neat hair, and the look of relief and relief contained in those eyes, all of which reflected that the prisoner must have been a person with status, at least it is certainly different from those nouveau riche who dare to call themselves nobles when they have two money.

"It's really a pleasure to see you again, Master Eleven, the original goodbye is five years, look at you, all the studies have succeeded, oh, it seems that this time it seems that you are here to take revenge, it is really worthy of the best grandson of old Mr. Sas, we fools were blind back then, look at me again, hehe, the lost dog, no, no, no, it is much worse than that, but my god Hall has finally shown mercy, so that I, the one who has been living for a long time, can see you again, oh, the wanderer with a heart of revenge, hahaha, I am so lucky, praise you, great Hall!”

Seeing the madness in Hawkes's eyes, Eleven's face full of hatred also showed a trace of incomprehension, this guy in front of him must be crazy, because people who are not crazy will definitely not choose to believe in the god of revenge, Hall, that is definitely not a benevolent god, not to mention that he can hear a trace of something wrong from Hawks's crazy words, could it be that this dog thing was sold to Old Showman and a dozen other old people and then sold by the Nine Towers Council? An undercover agent who has been lurking for almost thirty years finally got such a miserable end, unrealistic.

However, he decided to give Hawkes a chance to tell, and Elivan could find this something strange and say that he couldn't get some other news, but Hawkes had to die here today, for the sake of Furman, and for the sake of the Lagelf family's nearly severed inheritance.

"Well, then, Hawkes, maybe I'll be kind enough to spare your life when I hear your story!"

Elivan calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and the flames under his feet slowly faded, but the delicate stone slabs around him were smashed, and the pieces were cracked, Pars stepped on them lightly with his feet, and those stone slabs quietly turned into pieces, as for what Elivan said, Pars secretly couldn't help pouting, you see his eyes are red, where is there the meaning of letting people go?

"Why spare me not to die? I thought I would die alone in that dark prison that never saw the light of day, but Hall sent you to me, you know? I was terrified of this day, but now, I only wish that the knife you gave me would be sharper, and that it would send me out of this sad, filthy world without pain, you know? Master Eleven, your presence is a rare grace to me!"

But fortunately, since Hawkes appeared in front of Elivan generously, it already showed that this guy came with a will to die, so in the face of Elivan's sharp knife-like oppression, this guy just sat cross-legged on the ground with a smile, holding the red fruit that Pars had just given him in one hand, and feeling out a dirty handkerchief in the other, wiping the fruit while whispering to Elivan who came to him, but it seemed to be talking to himself,

"What kind of reward do you think I deserve back then? Hehe, a hereditary title, a small estate, an official position in Sam City? No, no, no, no, it's not that, everything I did, lurking, betraying, personally killing the little young master who treated me like a brother, and then living in the dark like a mouse, dripping venom into Lord Sas's wine at the most critical moment, hehehe, what did I do so for? For myself? Of course not. ”

Speaking of this, Hawkes picked up the red fruit that had been polished incomparably bright, put it in his mouth and clicked it, the water droplets splashed everywhere, along with the tears left in his eyes, he gnawed on the red fruit in a big gulp, and his crazy gesture was like gnawing on the enemy's body,

"Hehe, I've done all the evil things in my life, just for my family, my poor kids, those damned scumbags, I'm going to kill them!

Hawkes threw away the kernel in his hand, covered his face and cried without any gesture, at this moment he was like an old dog with a broken spine, living hungry when the wind and snow were lonely, this kind of embarrassment like a defeated dog made Pars a little unbearable, he turned around and stopped looking, Elivan seemed to be affected, he sighed, what happened to Hawkes actually didn't need him to say it personally, Elivan could guess a rough idea, it was nothing more than because this guy had too much black material in the Nine Towers Council, and he himself had done more than one unsightly thing for the Nine Towers, and it was natural to be abandoned after success, and looking at the way he cried, it is estimated that the relatives who looked at it very seriously also died tragically under the revenge of the Nine Towers, and the reason why he survived is probably not that the group of suddenly had good intentions, nine times out of ten it was Hawkes who mastered the handle of the Nine Towers, and used it to threaten him, so he ended up like this.

The muzzle of the silver-white pistol was pressed against Hawkes's forehead, and his tone was gloomy, as if revenge was a pointless thing if it fell on Hawkes now.

"Poor people must have something to hate, you live so painfully, why don't I help you get rid of it?"

But just as Ellevin was about to pull the trigger, Hawkes suddenly raised his head and said something quickly, but Eleven's face changed greatly, he put away his pistol, pulled Hawks by the collar with both hands and lifted him up directly, and asked with a hideous face,

"Where are they? Damn! Where did you get this from? Tell me! Bastard! Tell me!"

Seeing Eleven's shaking Hawks as if he was crazy, Pars hurriedly ran over, trying to pull the two people apart and let Ellevin calm down, but as soon as his hand touched Eleven's arm, he was screamed by a sudden scorching heat, and the palm of Pars's hand turned bloody and blurry the moment it was contacted, and a burnt smell also sobered up Eleven, who had fallen into a frenzy.

"Ahem!"

Elivan let go of the hand that grabbed Hawkes's neckline, shook his body twice, and then sat on the ground with his ass, Pars tore off a corner of his clothes in pain, and just wanted to wrap his hand, but was held down by Eleven's arm, the guy stretched out his other hand and gently brushed it on his already somewhat ulcerated palm, a cool feeling of extreme comfort came, making Pars almost moan, but after this feeling, Pars opened his eyes and saw that his hands were covered with a thin but solid layer of thin ice, he looked at Eleven, who motioned for him to wrap it up like that, and then turned his head to look at Hawks who had calmed down。

Elivan took a deep breath and asked tremblingly,

"You... You said... Is it all true?"

Hawkes shrugged, his face indifferent

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the afternoon of the second day you fled, I heard it from the mage who was watching over me, you know I was still a hot upstart at that time, and they wanted to slap me like a dog, hehe, a bunch of mongrels! Later, I remember that when I was hiding with my whole family, I heard from those guys who knew him well that Master Pol had committed suicide, but I don't think it was possible, can you imagine that your father would choose to commit suicide when he was burdened with a sea of blood?"

Elevenn shook his head, although his father always had a gentle smile in his memory, he would be stubborn like a stone that could never be broken when it came to family and life standards.

Seeing Elivan's movements, Hawkes also smiled and clapped his hands,

"Yes, but do you know why I'm sure Mage Ball isn't dead?"

Before Elivan could reply, he pointed to his chest,

"Because of that!"

Eliven immediately pulled out the ring that Sass had left for him around his neck, and when he saw the ring with a simple shape, but there was no trace of magic in sight, Hawkes immediately nodded heavily,

"That's it!"

He smiled and pointed to the nine magic towers standing halfway up the mountain in the distance, and said in a mysterious tone,

"You may not know, hehe, those lowly mages built the magic tower on this barren barren land for these rings, they have been chasing these little things for more than forty years since the beginning of the Northern Campaign, so when I accidentally saw the ring around your neck, I knew that you were the sword of revenge that my god Hall sent to me, with this, even if you don't want to be the enemy of the Nine Towers, they will take the initiative to find you, and then tear you to pieces, haha, hahahaha. ”

Hawkes laughed maniacally, as if everything in the world had no appeal to him other than revenge, but Elevenn stroked the ring he had been carrying for five years, and asked thoughtfully,

"You mean there's more than one thing?"

"Of course not"

Hawkes patted the ground with a smile and replied cheerfully,

"Although I don't know where this thing came from, I have already said that after the Northern Campaign, the Council of the Nine Towers, as the leader of the Wild Mage team, could have obtained better fiefdoms, such as the Dragon Wilderness, such as the Marlborough Strait, and even the hell near the Storm Bay is much better than the barren gray plains, and the reason why they want to drive the seven of you out of here is for these things, oh, by the way, don't ask me why I know, you have to understand that I can be an undercover agent for the joint discharge of the Demon Hunter Tower and the Shadow Tower, and I can't do it with a good temper alone。 ”

After speaking, he pointed to his head, and then sighed in a loveless tone,

"Well, it's okay to tell you, my grandfather was one of the followers of the Most High, the Most High Gregory, in the Northern Campaign, and he was executed by the because he accidentally broke the secret, otherwise how would my Hawkes family be here now? But that's nothing, the will never know that the secret they thought they hid best would be revealed by a guy waiting to die. ”

Pars looked stunned as Elivan squeezed the ring tightly, almost strangling his flesh, and the young man gritted his teeth and scolded,

"Just for such an unknown thing, do you want the Mogding family to be wiped out?How could those mages of the Nine Towers be so tyrannical!"

"Oh, no, no, no, boy, this is not something that does not know what to say, do you really think that it is a coincidence that the Seven Alliances have been suppressed since more than forty years ago? No, of course not, let me tell you, the of the Nine Towers are not only bad to this extent, they only know that this ring exists in the seven alliances that participated in the Northern Campaign, but they don't know which one, so after the war, they did everything possible to weaken the strength of the seven families, and sent undercover agents to break into each family, secretly waiting for the opportunity to destroy this alliance, but among these guys who will eventually be abandoned, I am the only one who knows what those are looking for, but unfortunately I am only in charge of the Lagerph family, and the other families are in charge, even including your Mogedin family, Young Master Elivan, you should be glad that you did not flee all the way back to the southern hills, otherwise you would have died a long time ago, look, I said it all, this is the arrangement of my god Hall, all for revenge!hahaha"

Hawkes's face distorted and he stretched out his finger and shook it in front of the indignant Pars, and then looked at Eleven, who was also looking at him,

"Master Elivan, that's all I know, that's right, although it's a pity, only your father may be alive in your family now, your mother, Lady Linal, chose to commit suicide after being attacked, preserving her dignity, and your brother Reis, I have to say, even as an opponent, the people who survived that battle were full of praise for him, an extremely young magister actually perfectly disguised himself as a low-level mage, and Mage Rees exchanged his life for the lives of at least seven battle mages of the same level, and finally died in a sneak attack, this is really sad news。 ”

And after hearing about Rees's deeds, Pars had already moved several meters next to the king silently, because Elivan's side was already full of ice slag, and it was obvious that the kid was in a bad mood right now.

"Who is it?"

Elivan asked seemingly unintentionally, but the three ice picks in his hand that were constantly spinning rapidly showed the furious killing intent in his heart.

"Mowglis, the Abyssal Beast, the leader of the Fourth Battle Squad of the Demon Hunter Tower, is a ruthless pursuer, an exterminator. He is one of the most famous high-level battle mages, hehe, but you don't have to worry, your brother also gave him a good look before he died, even if five years have passed, Morris has been cultivating in the Demon Hunter Tower, and it is said that he has not fully recovered his strength yet, kill him! For you, and for me! It's him, it's him who killed the last bit of blood of my Hawkes family with his own hands, haha, oh, by the way, tell him by the way when you kill him, I'll wait for him at my god Hall, don't see, don't leave!"

After saying this last sentence, Hawkes seemed to have completely recovered to the polite and gentle Hawkes butler he had been, and he reached out and shook Eleven,

"Give me a set of clothes, I don't want to go to the great Hall and my poor son like this, it's so unseemly. ”

Elivan nodded to Pars next to him, who immediately jumped up, rode on the reluctant donkey with a blank face and ran out of the alley, ready to find a suitable set of clothes for Hawks, without worrying about their safety, because just now, the shouts and screams around him had already resounded, and the prisoners had moved, and at this time, Pars, who was also wearing prison clothes, was very safe.

Hawkes has been sitting cross-legged in place with his eyes closed, looking peaceful, while Eleven, who is opposite him, is holding the ring in his hand, and his heart is frantically planning a journey far beyond his original imagination, the whole person is covered with a chilling cold, at this moment, calm and madness turn the object, the avenger is still an avenger, but it is getting farther and farther away from the light that could have been.

Not long after, Pars fled back with a set of clothes and donkeys, they were followed by seven or eight dirty mercenaries in leather armor, those guys scolded and ran into the alley with the donkey, these guys who were greedy in their hearts originally planned to take advantage of the fire to rob, but they met Pars, who was originally safe, but when they saw the prison uniform that Pars was wearing, they immediately thought of the tragic experience of being robbed by a group of strong men in prison uniforms, so they planned to find it back from Pars, one man and one donkey escaped, and several mercenaries chased behind, and the moment they entered the alley, the terrible fireball came to their faces, there was no chance for these bullying guys to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and when the violent flames scattered all over the ground dispersed, only a few piles of dry bones were left telling the fragility and bitterness of life.

"Whew... It's dangerous!"

While patting his chest, Pars handed the clothes he was holding in his hand to Hawkes, and by the way gave him a small box for makeup, Hawks thanked Pars with a smile on his face, and then walked into the corner next to him with the clothes, and a few minutes later, the rejuvenated Hawks walked out, like the middle-aged man who took Eliven into the castle of Lagelph, combed his neat white hair, a dress as if he was custom-made, and a paper towel folded into a flower in the pocket of his jacket, and a pair of gloves that were not stained with dust, gentle, polite, and made people feel good at a glance。

"Come on, Master Elivan, give me one last ride!"

Hawkes opened his arms, his head raised slightly, and the whole person seemed to have been reborn, while Elevenn silently put away the gun in his hand, walked slowly to Hawkes, stretched out his left hand and pressed Hawkes's chest, at this moment, he asked in a low voice,

"Do you regret it? Do you feel guilty when you go to face old Shoman?"

Hawkes opened his eyes, then closed them again, his soft voice ethereal as a dream,

"No, I was here to protect my family, just like you now, to protect the people you love the most from harm, isn't that what a man should do?"

"Well, then, Steward Hawkes, in the last message you have given me, perhaps I will send you a eulogy. ”

"Ah, at the end of my life, someone will read a eulogy for me, am I lucky or unlucky?"

Eleven's left hand pressed down on Hawkes's chest, and two muffled silent thanks fell into his ears, and then he whispered in a voice that was neither sad nor joyful,

"Forgive, but not forgive,"

At this moment, Hawkes's face smiled even more, he opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world, and Eleven, who was about to be executed, also closed his eyes, he seemed unwilling to see the final salvation of this sinner,

"Mercy, never forget. ”

At this moment, the breeze blew suddenly, the white hair combed by Hawkes' butler was blown in the air, and Eleven's black robe was also blown up, which seemed to symbolize parting, but it could also be the roar of Kranvo's soul carriage, Pars, who watched this scene, suddenly felt that his eyes were sour, and he didn't understand why this death would give him such a big feeling.

"Think of this as a glorious death,"

At this moment, Elivan's voice became softer and softer, and Hawkes took a long breath,

"Abandon cowardice, leave sorrow. ”

At this moment, Pars bit the corners of his mouth tightly, he wanted to turn around, but he forced himself to look at this scene, in his heart, the will of a real man was standing up,

"May he not be from hell. ”

At this moment, Hawkes breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had thought of something beautiful, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and on Elivan's left hand, who had his eyes closed, the icy elements began to gather,

"May he wander again!"

"Whoosh!"

The sharp needle-like ice spike quickly pierced into Hawkes's heart, and the next moment it froze completely, and a few seconds later, Hawkes, who was still smiling, fell on his back, and the ground also quickly ignited red and blue flames, and began to burn at the moment of contact, until everything that could be ignited was burned, and in a short time, the first enemy in Elivan's life was wiped out in heaven and earth, but his heart was not the slightest happy.

He looked up at the sky, then lowered his head again, and silently walked to Pars, who was silently weeping at this sad scene for some unknown reason, and behind him, the black ashes were blown up by the wind and then scattered to the ground.
