His name is Farad, and he's very powerful. I don't know exactly what he did in Ravenhord, maybe just like Kalru. I admired this middle-aged man with brown skin, black eyes, and a black beard.

Karl Ru followed Winston away from Ravenhold for a long time. In the days that followed, Farad showed me more advanced reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, grappling, assassination, and survival techniques. And his throwing knives and bowing skills. What made me both resistant and curious, excited and frightened the most was that he taught me how to make poison. He told me that this thing was actually better than a knife.

Almost every day, I was trained like a layer of skin, so that I was born to die all the time. I kept learning the meaning of the word in him.

He said that when he said the mission, there were only two choices, life or death. And then suddenly one day he started to train me more strictly, so to speak, to the point of perversion. At first, I was extremely resistant. In the simulation sparring, I went from dying every time to slowly surviving a few times, although there is a high probability that it will end in my death. But one thing made me happy, I kept going longer and longer, and I had fewer and fewer injuries on my body. Until one day, the reason why he suddenly trained me so perverted seemed to be answered by me.

"How did you get to this place?" One night, we were sitting in the courtyard of the manor drinking, and I asked him.

"I had a friendship with Winston many years ago."

"Is he powerful?"

"Do you know his nickname?"

"I don't know."

"Lone wolf."

"What a ...... Domineering name. How did he get the title? ”

"It must have been more than twenty years ago, when I wandered through the mountains of Alterac and found Winston covered in blood. He fainted in the snow unconscious. Near him were corpses. Then I saved him. ”

"What happened?"

"I don't know why, and I don't want to know. But ever since he was brought back to life and brought me here, I knew he had earned the title this time. Everyone respects him until now. ”

"I always thought he was a housekeeper."

"No, he's your head."

"What about you?"

"I'm just an idle person."

"You're in charge of training here...... Someone like me? ”

"Almost."

"In my heart you are the best. Your skill level is worthy of that of a grandmaster. ”

"Hmph. You seem to be well-informed. ”

"I don't know if there is anyone else like you, but in my heart you are an insurmountable mountain. I've never been able to beat you once. ”

"You need to train, keep training."

"It's too hard to be a bodyguard in Ravenhold."

"It's your job to defend this place, but sometimes you don't just have to stay in the castle estate. The Ravenhold family is not that simple. He said.

"I feel like an assassin now."

Fallad smiled, "What is recognized is brotherhood, life and death depend on common blessings and misfortunes." Those who do not recognize it can be removed. He looked at me and said.

Anything that is not recognized can be removed...... From the moment I got into Winston's carriage, was it impossible for me to get out of here as a living person? It's a little less fun......

"I've heard Winston mention you." He glanced at me.

"He told you about me?"

"Hmm. He said he trusted his eyes. He looked at me.

"What about you?" I dared to ask this.

"The runes on your arms are interesting." He squinted his eyes and smiled at my arm.

"You know?"

"Hmph, how did you get here?"

"I met a witch while traveling."

His eyes were fixed on me. "Then you must have gone through some hardships."

"Hmm...... OK. ”

"Did you have amnesia after meeting her?"

"No, it's before."

"What did she say to you? Is there anyone interested in you? ”

"Uh......"

"Hmph. Have you done it? ”

"I didn't ...... Uh, no, no ......"

He narrowed his eyes. "Isn't she good-looking?"

"Ah, it's okay...... No, it's a bit old, but ......."

"What?"

"The charm is still there."

"Hmph, is this why you didn't let you go into heat?"

"No, I didn't...... Uh, I mean I wasn't seduced by her. ”

"Oh hehe, it seems that she didn't squeeze you well. That's kind of weird. ”

"Do you know what this rune means?"

"A curse."

"Huh?"

"You've messed with a terrible guy...... Hmph, speaking of which, I'm curious how you survived. There was something strange in his eyes.

"What kind of curse is this?"

"She invades your soul and she can suck your ...... Strength. She can kill you at any time if necessary. Bang...... Ashes. ”

I remembered the pain that pierced my heart.

"How did you know about this curse?"

"You can not believe me."

He must have seen it, or ...... He's not a simple guy! Farad ...... I think I've had that name for as long as I can remember. Where did he come from?

"Can it be lifted?" My heart was full of worries.

"Only for recourse to the caster himself."

"Her name is Agra. Do you know her? ”

"I don't know. The name doesn't matter. It's like your name is Bill Max. "He has words in his eyes." She can have an infinite number of names. ”

"Do you know Medivan then?"

He glanced at me and said, "You know a lot of people." ”

"I ...... I don't actually know him. ”

"Outsiders can't help you, and this curse can only be lifted by the caster. Or you'll have to lose something......"

"What do you mean to lose something?"

"It's the consequences of the curse, or the extra price you have to pay at some point."

"Lost...... What? ”

"Many, many years ago, I saw ...... Ah, I can't remember exactly how long it was. Oh, really...... It seems that there is no more sinister spell than this. ”

"What ...... will be lost?"

"I don't know. But I guess the cursed guy is dead. He glanced at me.

"Will it be painful for the rest of your life?"

"I don't know. Hmph, it looks like you're not a simple guy. ”

"Who's that curse?"

He looked at me meaningfully and said slowly, "His name is Elan." Nalas ...... Elam. ”
