Far away.

Tails watched indifferently as the Torture Knight's axe vanished into view of the dimly lit corridor.

He's slowly rising again.

It's like losing gravity.

But this time, the prince barely managed to keep his sanity in the void of unknown time.

He struggled to recall the anchor point, to follow the teachings, to guard himself.

I just need to be farther away.

Not required...... Knock.

He said in his heart as he tried his best to keep his composure.

His mind flashed through countless scenes, the ruins of an abandoned house, the humble back kitchen of the Sunset Bar, the magnificent terrace of the Hall of the Stars, the snowflakes in the birch forest, and the fires in Valhalla......

Leave the Prison of Bones, or even the Bladefang Camp, and get as far away from Sakerel as possible.

A little further!

But just as he thought so, a strange burning sensation came from behind him!

It's like someone lit a fire on his back!

Tails' face changed.

Wrong.

At that moment, he instantly got out of "out of control"!

It's like waking up from a sweet dream.

The indifferent attitude of everything disappeared, and the emotion of surprise permeated the brain.

No......

In a few tenths of a second, the burning sensation became more and more intense.

It spreads from the back to the whole body, and then slowly evolves into a tearing and cutting sensation.

In that second, Tails couldn't help but twist his face and exhale in pain!

This feeling that has been lost in a long time but is familiar......

Could it be......

Worst.

He remembered something, and his heart was cold.

Tails, who was still suffering from burning and tearing, only felt a weight all over his body, and in the next second, he hit the ground hard!

"Bang!"

In the muffled sound, Tails didn't care about his aching knees and forehead, and turned over like crazy, struggling to shake off the rucksack on his body!

Damn, shit!

It's as if it's a piece of red-hot charcoal.

"Damn it!"

Marina's annoyed voice rang in her ears, as if she had just made close contact with the ground: "What's going on!"

"Wow, aw, axe—whoa!"

In the darkness, the panicked cry of the fast rope came from the side.

"Huh?"

There was a snorting sound, and it sounded like a fast rope getting up from the ground:

"Here it is...... Hell River?"

Tails exhaled with difficulty, feeling the burning sensation on his back slowly fade.

But another sensation spreads to the upper nerve.

Pain.

The Star Prince gritted his teeth breathlessly and said:

"Yes, here, exactly, Prison River...... And I am, yours, ferryman......"

He touched the touch of the ground and sighed in his heart.

So......

They are not out of danger yet.

"Tails!"

When Fast Rope heard his voice, he was overjoyed, and then became more and more suspicious:

"But why, why can't we see ......?"

In panic, I only heard a gentle brushing sound, and an abrupt firelight appeared in front of me, making the fast rope subconsciously block his eyes.

In the dark, Marina lit a small torch, got up from the ground cursing and wiped a handful of dust from her face: "Damn!"

"What the hell are we ......?"

But her words did not continue.

The smell of her mouth and nose and her surroundings made her identify their location.

The female swordsman in red soothed the neck strangled by the Punishment Knight, and frowned:

"We ...... Still in the Prison of Bones?"

Tails didn't reply, his face turned pale and trembled slightly.

The fast rope who had regained his vision gently lowered his hand, glanced at Marina who was holding the torch in confusion, and then turned to the young man lying on the ground and panting beside him, his face sank.

"What just happened?"

He faded away from his confusion and lifted Tails, who was obviously not in shape, up from the ground and leaned him against the wall:

"Where's that uncle? And your masked friend?"

Tails gasped hard, endured the increasingly intense pain, and squeezed out a sentence:

"This is the 'little magic' of the Alchemy Tower, you might as well understand it as a mechanism in the Prison of Bones, which can transfer you to different places......"

Marina was slightly startled.

Tails tried to squeeze out a smile.

But Fast Rope's expression was no longer the usual banter, and the rookie mercenary crouched in front of Tails at the moment, quietly looking at the latter.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful:

"Little magic?"

The appearance of the fast rope can't help but remind Tails of the other party's true identity.

"yes, so, I just took advantage of it...... Ahh

Tails couldn't say any more, and the pain in his chest became more and more intense, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and his lips tremble.

Worst.

Although there is a lack of references from other magicians of the same kind, whether it is the carriage assassination on King's Road six years ago, the attack of the magic gun under the Broken Dragon Fortress, or the unexpected knock on the door of Giza in Longxiao City, or the warning of Ashida when she is leaving, these experiences have taught Tails a lesson:

In the face of crisis, we must not easily resort to mysterious magic energy until we are cornered.

The burden and destruction of the "out of control" state on the body should not be underestimated, but it will gradually increase with the increase in the magnitude of the magic energy involved, and once it reaches the level of "knocking", the ensuing cost is even fatal.

So Tails is grateful to Taurus.

This is the most mysterious and best magician he has ever encountered.

Thanks to his generosity and patience, he was able to find the "anchor point", and was able to maintain his sanity (perhaps too rational) in the "out of control", and get rid of the dangerous predicament of the past where the magic energy is not released, and the first shot is out of control, and it is bound to knock on the door.

But even if Tails successfully avoided knocking on the door, and avoided the heart-rending and heart-wrenching experience of using magical energy in the past, the cost of "losing control" should not be underestimated.

According to the experience of the enemy hammer just now, he will stay in a magical "out of control" state for no more than a few minutes at most, and he will be awakened by a sudden sharp pain, interrupting his strange ability.

But Tails knew that when he escaped from Sakel's axe, it wasn't the aftermath of magic that interrupted him.

But......

Tails clutched his chest and looked at the other side in disbelief: the rucksack that Marina had given him lay quietly on the ground, revealing a small crossbow arm.

Time Crossbow.

Legendary anti-demon armament.

Damn it.

The reason why they are still in the prison of bones and have not been able to escape...... Got it.

It seems that the next time he will not be able to go "out of control" when he has this thing in his hands......

Thinking of this, Tails throbbed again, and his expression distorted.

"You look...... Sucks?"

Marina, noticing the prince's unusual pain, came suspiciously with a torch.

"Hurt by that madman?"

No.

It's just the after-effects of the forcible use of magical energy, and the rejection of that crossbow.

Tails wiped a handful of sweat and trembled and forced himself to bend the corners of his mouth:

"Yes. ”

"He's heavy-handed. ”

The fast rope still didn't say a word.

Marina leaned down and picked up a silver-bladed sword from the ground.

"This is Ricky's sword. ”

Marina's brow slowly locked in the firelight.

Tails' heart tightened again.

Marina looked at him steadily, her gaze getting colder and colder:

"I saw the brand on that madman's face, just like Semir - Ricky, what's wrong with them?"

Tails pursed his lips, suffering the pain while also having to deal with the person in front of him, which really exhausted him, and he only felt that his head was going to be big.

What can he say?

Sorry, your boss, my friend got a hole in the head?

"He ......," he hissed.

At this moment, the fast rope screamed!

"That's not right!"

The rookie mercenary's eyes widened, looked at Marina, pointed to Tails on the wall, and said in horror:

"He's ...... Your nose is bleeding!"

Tails subconsciously touched his nose, and sure enough, he got wet.

Worst.

Again.

He was dizzy, leaned against the wall, and sat trembling and sliding to the ground.

Marina frowned.

Fastrope took two steps forward in surprise and held Tails.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Well," said the prince, laughing weakly.

"Ha, the Bright Star Royal Family, more or less different. ”

Bright Star Royalty.

Marina's face darkened again when she heard the phrase.

"No, we have to do something, he doesn't look good. ”

Fast Rope looked worried, and he turned to Marina:

"This lady, please follow this way, I'll look for his luggage......"

Marina looked at Tails with a complicated look in her eyes, then at the sword in her hand, and finally sighed and stepped forward with a torch.

"The prince surnamed Bright Star. ”

Looking at Tails with a painful face, Marina said softly:

"Just now, you saved my life. ”

"Why?"

Tails pulled the corners of his mouth as hard as he could, and squeezed out a few ridiculous words in a cold sweat:

"Maybe, maybe because I don't like killing?maybe, because you're a woman, and you're beautiful, so according to the knight, I'm destined to have a soft ......."

Then take you into my harem.

Tails' heart ached again, and he tightened his features again, biting off the long-lasting joke in his mouth.

But Marina ignored his teasing, and the grumpy girl was not angry.

She just looked at him quietly:

"You know, we have a feud - whether it's the past of the Scarlet Years or the festivals in the tavern. ”

Tails snorted coldly, and he didn't care much about his tone when he was tormented by the pain:

"So I'm going to kill you, or stand by and gloat at you?"

Marina paused, her face struggling.

"But your father would. ”

The female swordsman in red hesitated and said, "Just like eighteen years ago, he ordered my family to be hanged. ”

Now it was Tails' turn to be speechless.

But the next moment, as if she had made up her mind, Marina suddenly looked up and looked at the prince with burning eyes.

"Seber Norfolk," said the girl softly.

"He's my uncle, a member of the Starlight Legion, the bodyguard of the late Duke John of Starlake—and his murderer. ”

Tails was stunned.

Seber Norfolk.

And the Duke of Star Lake.

What do you mean?

Tails stared at her in a daze, distracted, and the pain in his body no longer seemed so unbearable.

"You ......"

"Listen," Marina stared at him, her eyes eager, like staring at a life-saving straw:

"If you go back to Eternal Star City, Prince Tails, if you really don't care about your bastard father, if you really care about the blood of the innocent......"

"Please follow this matter down and find out the truth. ”

Marina's eyes slowly reddened, startling Tails:

"Find out the truth about the assassination of Duke John in the city of Sodara in the Year of Blood. ”

Duke John ......

Tails frowned.

"My father, Lanzar Norfolk, heir to the honorary earl of Norfolk. ”

"Until he went to the gallows, he had been secretly serving the secret branch of the kingdom," Marina said through gritted teeth.

"On the third day of King Eddie's assassination, and on the eve of Duke John's assassination, my father secretly released a letter crow. ”

"This is the only clue I've had in years. ”

Tails shuddered slightly.

Kingdom Secrets.

The third day of King Eddie's assassination......

Other words......

"I have been wandering for many years, and I can only grasp all my strength, use all means, but I can't find anything, I can't do anything," Marina's lips trembled, her chest rose and fell, and she seemed to force her emotions:

"But you are a prince, a future king, and you must be able to do more than I am. ”

"Please. ”

The last word, Marina was almost red eyes, biting out of her teeth, not knowing how many struggles and struggles she had gone through.

At this moment, the sound of the fast rope came from the luggage:

"I've found something, Tails, you might need this ......"

There was another burst of pain, and Tails closed his eyes and waved his hand as hard as he could:

"I'm fine, I'm sick, I just need a ...... rest"

The next second.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came suddenly, making Tails subconsciously open his eyes!

"When. ”

The flame trembled, and it fell to the ground with the sword.

Marina lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

At her side, the fast rope withdrew the palm that had stunned her with a serious face.

Tails froze.

At that moment, the torch shone from the ground, and it seemed that the face of the fast rope was so cold and deep.

"Fast rope, you ......"

The fast rope didn't answer, he just leaned over silently and dragged the unconscious Marina.

"Can you hold it?"

The fast rope said lightly, dragging Marina aside: "Or are you going to die in the next second?"

Tails looked at him in a daze.

"Why—" was only half of the prince's question.

He saw what was in Fastrope's hand.

It was a special black crossbow.

Prepare for the arrow, and its momentum is about to start.

"Why, you ask?"

Fast Rope picked up the torch in one hand and walked forward coldly.

"So you're going to tell me the truth?"

"Tails Bright Star?"

Tails gritted his teeth.

Truth......

I saw Kuaixian holding a torch alone, shaking the bow and crossbow in his hand, and looking at him coldly:

"What is that kind of ability of yours?"

At that moment, Tails only felt his body stiff and his tongue heavy.

In a trance, even the sequelae of losing control are no longer so uncomfortable.

He just stared at the solemn fastrope in silence.

Fast Rope also looked back at him silently.

Half an hour later, Tails sighed in the firelight.

He tilted his head and said with difficulty under the double pressure—the pain of his body and the gaze of his companions:

"I said, it's a rare kind of magic, and the Kingdom of the Stars ...... after taking this place for themselves."

Fast Rope sneered.

"Magic?"

His cold rhetorical question kept the rest of Tails' words in his mouth.

"Listen, Tails. ”

Fast Rope glared at him:

"I may have been ridiculous when I was younger, but I was raised by the lord's family, and I'm a dozen years older than you, maybe more ......"

"Especially after becoming an heir, I learned more unusual things. ”

The fast rope squatted down gently, and the look in his eyes was extremely serious.

The flames approached, and the scorching torches made Tails a little uncomfortable.

But his heart was cold.

"I knew who the man was and what he meant. ”

The fast rope cloud is light and the wind is light.

As if it were just a homely conversation.

But only Tails knew that at this moment, the momentum emanating from the fast rope was so indifferent, the tone was so fierce, and the eyes were so terrifying.

"I also know why you suddenly went from a weak teenager to a cold-faced killer. ”

"I even know the reason why you're in such pain right now. ”

At that moment, it was as if Tails no longer knew the person in front of him.

It seems that this optimistic and open-minded mercenary fast rope with a little humor has turned back into the enemy prince who is compassionate and resolute and leaves everything behind.

The return of Moral Walton.

"More than 600 years ago, there was an incomparably terrible calamity in the battle of the end, and as long as it was on the battlefield, our ancestors would have been defeated again and again, and there was no hope. ”

"Because that calamity can foresee the future, and know the unknown. ”

Morar sneered:

"From the weather the next day, to the angle of the rising sun, to the enemy's every move, the future of the world is in its hands. ”

Foresee the future.

Tails breathed in a trance.

Is there such an existence in the magician?

Morar shook his head and said:

"How are you going to defeat an undead monster who has all the future and possibilities in his hands?"

At that moment, Tails' breath froze.

"Until the birth of this weapon. ”

Morar looked at the pitch-black crossbow in his hand, and the emotion in his eyes was uncertain:

"Its user was a Northlander, and after the battle, he pledged his allegiance to Exter and to King Nekajou. ”

"Years later, the crossbow came into the hands of Nunn I, and he presented it as a testimony to the 'Nekaru Oath' to the most remote and difficult of the ten realms, the most special legendary anti-demon weapon in the Dragon Lance family texts, though I had just identified it. ”

"The Crossbow of Time. ”

The next second, Moral stood up coldly.

He grabbed the trigger, raised his trembling arm, and aimed the crossbow arrow at the young man in front of him.

Tails' face turned pale, and he just clutched his chest.

"You're a magician, Tails. ”

Moral's eyes flickered, and he snapped the words in a cold voice:

"A scourge. ”

"It's like the plague that destroyed everything six hundred years ago. ”

Tails closed his eyes gently.

Finally.

This day is still coming.

"It's like six years ago," Moral's voice trembled slightly:

"The ...... who destroyed Longxiao City and killed my father"

"Calamity. ”
