Verse 3: I Have You Have Not (Part I

The night breeze was blowing, like the gentle breath of the ocean, and slowly, it carried away the mangrove forest, but also the smell and wreckage on the deck.

In the churning and surging waves, the layers of scales bojiāo rushed to the shore, and in the small and regular cháo tide, an ocean-going ship glided silently in the light smoke, and the tall hull carried a kind of tranquility and indifference, as if wandering in the sky and clouds.

On the wide deck, there are a few orange crystal lamps, which are very softly lit, illuminating a small area. However, the sea breeze and mist could not enter the light, and before they could make contact, they had already slid to the sides.

Under a huge parasol with silver stripes, two people sit across the table.

"I used to think that you people who play politics don't have anything good in your family. A hoarse voice sounded, and it was a middle-aged ability master sitting in the light: "Actually, I'm not wrong, except for you, a freak, the generation of the Connorric family is really unsuccessful...... Even my friends are complaining that either they have stuffed teeth or they have indigestion. ”

"There is no one you have killed whose surname is Connell. Although it is not a good thing to carry this surname, and not all of them are good people, none of them can be evaluated at will. Prince Pfister sat across from the middle-aged Abilityman, seated fifteen centimeters higher than the other man, the light on his mask flickering.

"So far, there has been no drink that can promote the digestive function of evil spirits, so I can only say with regret that your friends can only endure in silence. As he spoke, Prince Pfister poured a glass of drink with a delicate aroma and pushed it in front of the middle-aged man with the back of his hand.

"Well, I said the wrong thing, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me. Actually, I can't imagine what you're like until I actually meet you. You're so young, you're barely an adult, but you have the title of a genius, and you have this cold and cold personality. ”

Looking at the cup in front of him, a cold smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Looking at it from another angle, I am Yin Shadow Mask, an ability demon on the same level as the Black Striped Night Owl twenty years ago, are you actually not afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid. Prince Pfister shook his head as if it were normal.

"Although you are very famous and have a high reputation in the Wizard Guild, you can't have no feelings for someone like me, right?" the middle-aged man asked with some concentration, "At least give me a reason, or I will be overwhelmed by frustration." ”

"Since they are all Anomalists, then I'll give you a choice. Prince Pfister replied, "Do you want to hear the truth or falsehood?"

"Of course it's true, I'm familiar with the lies of politicians, and they just think about it. The middle-aged adept picked up the teacup and smiled faintly: "I am self-aware, and my reputation is not very good in the inland and on the west coast. Why would you agree to let me help you with this? When I approached Mén, I thought you would refuse. ”

If there were other people with extraordinary abilities at the scene, they would have been shocked when they heard this--the magician who was on the same level as the black-veined night owl many years ago was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he actually found mén to serve the prince, and the young prince actually agreed?

Doesn't His Royal Highness know that the blood on this man's hand is thicker than that of the black-veined night owl?

This man is far more hateful than the Black-streaked Night Stalker, because most of the time the killings he commits for no reason

"You didn't register with the guild, and you just happened to find me. Unlike the Black Night Stalker, you don't like to show off your achievements, so it's fitting for someone like you to do it. The prince whispered, "The more important reason is that family infighting is not a happy thing, and I don't want others to know." ”

"Of course, I only love the supernatural, I only love my friends, and nothing else. The middle-aged anomalist nodded: "But in your eyes, I am by no means such a simple person, you must have thought it through." ”

"Yes, I've thought about it a lot. I know that your abilities are full of evil and sin, so they are not recognized by the Anomalous Masters Guild, or even wanted. Prince Pfister said frankly: "There is a price to be paid for everything, this is an eternal truth. Since I agree with you to come forward, I will naturally bear the consequences and consequences. ”

The consequences of the prince's words, of course, can only come from the special ability used by the Yin Shadow Mask.

"I don't like to show off, but I still have to remind you that I did a clean job tonight and you can't find anyone better than me. In the face of this kind of rhetoric, which is likely to be accusation, the middle-aged ability master's expression was a little dissatisfied: "Of course, you did a good job, we eliminated more than ten ability masters of the other party one after the other, presumably your enemy will be heartbroken to death, right?"

"Yes, we've wiped out about half of their anomalies tonight. The prince nodded: "This kind of folk ability master is very easy to cultivate, and if one dies, there will be one less, and it will be difficult to fill the vacancy." ”

"It also proves that I was right in what I promised, that the ability, whatever it is, is just a tool, and there is no evil orthodoxy, only a difference in effect. The middle-aged supernatural master was a little proud: "How? Use your wisdom to answer my questions, I can continue to help you remove obstacles, what is the Senate government hall, in my eyes is just a mustard thing." ”

It turns out that the basis of the cooperation between the two sides is here, and Yin Shadow Mask seems to be very desperate to get some benefit from the prince - to answer his questions about his abilities? Is this the price the prince has to pay?

That's fine for someone else, but it's not for you at all. So unfortunately, I can't answer your ability questions. Prince Pfister shook his head, his voice soft, but resolute.

"Why" The middle-aged ability master couldn't help but be stunned, and asked sternly, "Do you also look down on me like those fools?"

"In fact, I value you very much, so you only have drinks in your glass, and there is no ambush on the ship, and I will not take the initiative to attack you. Faced with questioning, Pfister replied calmly: "But I can't solve your problem, it's not that I can't, it's that I can't." ”

"Give me a reason" The anger of the middle-aged anomalist did not disappear: "Otherwise, this is contempt for me"

"Quite simply, I'm not just a Miracle Master, I'm a prince with a people, and the title of prince is a responsibility for me. "As a pure anomaly, I can pretend not to see what you are doing," explained Prince Pfister, but from the prince's standpoint, I cannot allow your friends to have a feast...... What you did tonight strengthened my mind. ”

"That's a way to use an ability, it's no different from any other ability," the middle-aged ability master said, "I'm helping you."

"I know you've helped me, so I'll give you this fully loaded ship, wishing you all the best after you leave the shores of the silver sè. Prince Pfister tactfully stated his intentions, and turned out to be asking the shadow mask to leave: "I can't ask you to give up anything, because I am not a righteous person myself, but I hope that you and your friends will never return to the Silver Sè Coast." ”

"You're actually going to drive me away?" the middle-aged Adept couldn't help but laugh out loud: "For the sake of the seal, the competition between you and the other party has become white-hot, right? At this time, you actually want to drive away the people who can help you? You should know that I am worthy of an army."

"I haven't doubted your ability, and I have to admit that I have very sharp contradictions with some people, but I have a bottom line in my heart. Through the mask, Prince Pfister glanced at the middle-aged man: "You don't." ”

"Is that what you say about the people who helped you?" The muscles on the middle-aged man's face twitched, and a sneer overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"As an anomaly, good observation is the foundation. Prince Pfister ignored the other man's expression: "You took the initiative to help me, not only because I can answer your doubts about abilities, but also because I have the intention of leading an army to fight for me, so that you can hold an unprecedented banquet for your friends...... This kind of intention can no longer be described as ambitious. ”

"Isn't this good? It's your opponent who dies, we take what we need, win-win," the middle-aged man said coldly, "Besides, I can control myself and my friends, as for the unprecedented banquet, I never thought about it." ”

"Just because you can endure it today doesn't mean you can endure it tomorrow. You've been lost since the day you chose the evil spirit as your friend, and you're only going to slip farther and farther down the road. Prince Pfister's calm tone was as resolute and ruthless as metal: "The bottom line in your heart will eventually be broken by yourself." And it is my duty not to allow you to do these things on the Silver Coast. ”

"You are really worthy of the title of Anomalous Master" The middle-aged man did not defend his ability any further, and his anger rose a level: "What is the difference between the enemy being killed or eaten, and the result is that you have not killed anyone?

"I killed to protect myself. Prince Pfister said, "I don't treat my own kind as food." ”

"Hey...... That's a good reason, and it looks like I can't say you. The middle-aged man let out a few cold snorts, and his eyes were a little fierce: "You must know that although my friend is full, I am still hungry." ”

"I can only give you steak, is three pieces enough?" Prince Pfister didn't seem to hear the other party's threat, he said this sentence lightly + passionately, and his eyes were calm and palpitating: "Or you can try it and treat me with food at that time." ”

The middle-aged Anomalous Master stared at the Prince's mask, his sharp gaze as if trying to break through the metal, his clenched fist trembling slightly under his sleeve. But in the end, in the face of the prince who did not move, the ferocity on his face gradually dissipated, but he could no longer put on a smile.
