It was late at night, and Jack woke up drunk.

The stamina of this Kedi wine is really not small, I don't feel like I have drunk much, but in the end I still forgot how to get back to the residence on this mountain, until now, Jack feels that he is still drunk.

Outside the window, the stars twinkle in the sky, and the quiet night is waiting for an opportunity to rush into the day, and only the barking of dogs in the small village outside the city can be faintly heard in the distance. This quiet and peaceful atmosphere made Jack feel more and more alive.

He still remembers that at the end of the wine, when the lords and the king of Coron were drunk, singing and dancing, Turks led him in the crowd in the "Triumphal Dance", a dance that began to take shape a thousand years ago, created by Fena to celebrate humanity's survival from the catastrophe.

Turks danced in the crowd, drawing applause from the crowd. Of course, among the applauded people was also the messenger of God named Luther, who had been silent until now.

What Jack remembers most clearly is that Coren seemed to say that Luthor had found someone who could save the world, and then he had no memory of what Coren said, and in the end he only remembered that everyone danced together, from the palace to the temple gate, and everyone really danced as if they had returned triumphantly.

Forget it, let's rest first, and I'll ask Tex's tomorrow what Coren said in the end, and I didn't hear it. So Jack patted his swollen head and fell back onto the bed.

He slept until noon, and when Jack woke up, the sun had already shone through the window, and there was some cold food on the side of the bed on the right, which should have been brought by the attendants in the morning. Jack has never lived this kind of life since he was a child, and he feels that it is a blessing for him to come to the Missu country and be treated like a relative.

Grabbing an egg and peeling it, picking up his clothes and putting them on, Jack prepared to go to Tex's room to see him.

From the outside, it's hard to imagine what the inside of this mountain, known as the "island" mountain looks like.

The fact that the dwelling was built on a hill is strange enough, and the interior is decorated in a way that is no different from an ordinary palace, which makes one marvel at the ingenuity of the builders.

Out of the door of his room, there are corridors and stairs down the hill on the left and right, and because he is the southernmost room, Jack goes inside and wants to see it. On both sides of this corridor were thirty or forty rooms neatly arranged, each with a snake carved on the door representing the Missus totem, but the aisle was twisted and twisted, and the floor was covered with moisture-proof wooden planks, and the top of the corridor was not without the great rivers and mountains of the Missus country.

Jack walked on this corridor, feeling like walking in the mountains and rivers of Misu, relaxed and happy, and suddenly sobered up from last night's wine.

At the end of the corridor is an oversized hall, obviously several times larger than the palace hall under the mountain, of course, it is also understandable that the palace is Cologne's "meeting place" after all, and the isolated island peak is Cologne's residence.

The hall is oval-shaped, and in the center of the hall stands out a large long table, covered with a blue cloth, on which are baskets of fresh fruit and flowers. When Jack got closer, he realized that he hadn't taken a good look at its interior when he went out before, and yesterday Turks took him down the mountain directly from the corridor on the left side of the bedroom, and did not take him to visit the island as a whole. Now it's still exciting to be alone and unveil this isolated island like an adventure.

Jack, who approached, looked around, and didn't know that his corridor could lead down the mountain, and there were more than a dozen corridors on the opposite side, and there were all kinds of rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the scene was very spectacular.

"Where's Tex's room?" asked Jack, holding a waiter who was carrying dishes.

"The prince's room was in the innermost room of the east corridor, and there was a sword hanging from the door. The attendant replied.

"Okay, thank you". Jack then walked down the east-west hallway.

He saw the room with the sword, and this room, from the doorway, looked no different from the other rooms, the only difference was the sword, and Jack now understood why the prince lived in the same place as the average squire, and he would not ask such a stupid question again. Lest Turks say again: This is the rule of the Missus, and it is treated equally.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......", Jack knocked on the door several times in succession, but there was no response, so he had to push the door open, thinking that Turks was sleeping. Who knows, the room was empty, except for the blankets neatly folded on the bed, Jack also noticed that there was a large shelf in the corner by the window, and the shelves were full of all kinds of swords of different shapes, all of which were more or less engraved with some patterns, and I didn't think that Turks still had the habit of collecting this. But for a weapon-blind like Jack, he can only walk away with a glance.

I had no choice but to go out and ask again.

But the attendants said that they did not know where the prince had gone, but that he had gone out early in the morning. Jack lamented Tex's ability to sober up wine, while lamenting his discomfort with unfamiliar wines.

At the exit of the mountain, guarded by a few guards, Jack asked, "Do you know where Prince Turks has gone?" but he actually had no expectations.

But one of the soldiers said, "I don't know if he will be there, but Turks often goes alone in the woods in the back mountains, and no one follows him." ”

"Hmm, the back mountain, the back mountain of the isolated island?"

"Yes, after going down this mountain path, there is a path on the right hand side, and you can see the woods all the way on. ”

Jack didn't know what Turks was doing in the back mountains alone, and it stands to reason that he should have called himself.

So he followed the mountain path to the woods.

"I can't imagine that there is such a pleasant place in the back mountain." Jack entered the woods, the green leaves swaying in the light and shadow, the ancient trees on both sides towered into the sky, and occasionally a frog-like creature would suddenly jump out of the bushes, startling Jack.

"What's that!?" Jack suddenly heard the cries of humans coming from deep in the jungle, rhythmic and loud.

He followed the sound and was surprised to see a man with a sword scurrying through the trees. This head, holding his hair, wearing gray trousers, **** upper body, is wielding the sword in his hand and practicing.

"Isn't this Tex? he can also do swordsmanship!?" Jack was a little surprised.

Tex seemed to feel the gaze behind him, stopped the sword in his hand, gasped, turned around and asked, "Who!?"

"Me, Jack. ”

Turks thought it was the guards coming, but it turned out to be Jack. After confirming that it was Turks, Jack walked over, his eyes wide open, and he looked the "Sword Master" up and down.

"Yes, Tex, I think you know how to do swordsmanship, why haven't I heard you say it?" said Jack.

Turks smiled and said, "Didn't you have a sword in your hand along the way, didn't you have a chance to show it, and I forgot to tell you." ”

"Okay, you, look at your skills, your strength, you can be considered a master!" Jack boasted again.

Tex smiled shyly: "It's not a master, but it's no problem to go into battle and kill the enemy." ”

As he spoke, Turks picked up the sword in his hand and introduced it to Jack: "Look at this sword, it's called Soul Eater, it was built by Fena a thousand years ago, and it belongs to his second royal sword, which is collected and kept by the monarchs of all dynasties. It was also used by my father to expel sea beasts for decades, and its sword body flowed through the blood of an unknown number of violent sea beasts. ”

Tex was very proud of the sword: "Two years ago, my father gave me the Soul Eater Sword for safekeeping, hoping that I could continue his mission to protect the territory and people of Missus. I saw that the weather was good today, so I came out early in the morning. Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't call you well, so I asked the attendant to bring you breakfast. ”

Jack on the side looked at Tex, looked at the sword with very envious eyes, then looked at Tex, and said excitedly: "I haven't touched a real sword since I'm so old, can you let me see it?"

The corners of Turks' mouth lifted, and he met Jack's small request, handed the sword sideways, and added: "This sword is hundreds of times older than you, you have to be careful."

Jack's eyes widened, carefully touching the soul eater, and carefully examining it: this sword, with a round sword stem, is made of rare metal, the sword body is slender and the double blades are extremely sharp, and the cold light is bubbling, not at all like something that has been passed down for a thousand years. The head of the sword, there is nothing hanging, but on the body of the sword, there is a broad-faced python tattooed, with a big mouth open, sharp teeth, and a letter spitting out, as if it has been fused with the sword, vowing to tear the enemy apart.

"It's called Soul Eater...... Sure enough, there is a feeling that I am going to devour people, although I don't understand the sword, but I can really feel it. Did your father give you this sword?" this was the first sword Jack had ever touched in his life, and his hands were shaking and his palms were sweaty when he handed it back to Tex.

"My father said that no matter how worried I am, there will eventually be a time when I will stand alone, so it is better to let me practice swordsmanship every day and be ready to face war at any time. Turks said solemnly.

"Yes, people have to grow up. You're as old as me, and I'm not the same, and I'm not the same as you, and I've come to Tana with a group of people?, although something unfortunate has happened in the middle, but at least now I have the courage to carry the big responsibility alone!" Jack Bittex was even more serious, and his eyes looked at the southern sky.

But Jack only felt a pain in his head, and when he turned his head, it was Turks who knocked him with the Soul Eater Sword, and said: "Come on, you are a person who doesn't even know swordsmanship, what kind of big responsibility can you carry, before the big task arrives, you will die, and there is a fart." ”

Jack was choked by Tex's big truth, and didn't know what to say: he was right, with the courage and perseverance he had, what could he do? If it really comes time to stand up and protect others, will you have the ability to resist?

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but not loss.

"Okay, I'm kidding you, don't take it seriously", Tex explained, "Don't worry, I'll help you get it done, so that your heroic dream can come true as soon as possible!"

Jack stood there, dead leaves falling from the trees and hitting him on the nose, and he hesitated to say to Tex, "Huh?"
