415. Avalon

The man pointed out the window:

"They're the remaining half. ”

Hervin took a sip of wine:

"You're half killed. ”

The man showed a look of pity:

"Half, that's a really nice word. ”

Herwin looked at his face and said nothing.

The man was self-absorbed for a moment.

Then he burst out laughing:

"Just kidding, it's just that I didn't prepare two steaks, and then I looked at the steak with only half of it left. ”

Brunette man says:

"Introduce myself, I'm Count Silens. ”

Hervin says:

"I'm Herwin. ”

Sillens says:

"You're a nobleman, too, Mr. Herwin. ”

Hervin says:

"It's just a little baron, not worth mentioning. ”

Sillens says:

"I love talking to civilized people, because in this place, there is only a group of hillbillies, and many of my decisions, they can't understand. ”

Silenc picked up the knife and fork:

"You see, that unlucky bastard. ”

Hervin says:

"I didn't expect that after coming to the underworld, I would have to die again. ”

Sellence shook his head:

"He was a lucky man to be alive in my territory, but he didn't know how to cherish his luck.

"To live in my territory is to obey my rules, Mr. Herwen, do you know? Once upon a time, this was also a place shrouded in a thick fog, and I brought my own people to this place, and rebuilt a place suitable for the dead to live in this ruin.

"If it weren't for me, more than half of them would have been swallowed up by the fog outside, and I gave them life and safety, so it makes sense for me to ask for something in return. ”

Herwin nodded:

"Of course, no one can ask another person to give for no reason. ”

Sillens says:

"So I only charged them a small fee, neither trampling on their dignity nor depriving them of their lives, but only some due reward, and what difference did I ask for and when I was alive, when the lords collected taxes from the peasants?

But even so, there are still people who are not willing to give. ”

Hervin says:

"What did he do?"

The fork is pressed hard:

"He thought my price was too high, so he got a group of people and planned to negotiate terms with me, and what to say, what kind of strike? Actually, I don't quite understand the meaning of this word, because in our day they were called rebels.

"And our way of dealing with the rebels is simple, which is to suppress them directly and hang up and kill the one who bewitched the peasants.

"But in the underworld, we don't have that condition, so we have to have him beaten to death, and when the guests leave, I'll hang his body in the outermost part of the town. ”

"It's very ......," said Hervin, "savagery, we don't do that in our time. ”

Sillens says:

"I'm sure you think there's a more 'civilized' way of developing something that's more 'civilized' and that works, but I still like to stick to tradition.

"And I'm not without giving them the right to choose, this town is built by me, I'm blocking the fog outside, if they don't want to pay my taxes, they can just leave here, I won't stop anyone, and in fact, there are many people who are confident in their ability to survive have left here.

"I'm not a dictator, I just want to build my own home, we're all outspeakers, we can only stay in this world, I never force anyone to do anything.

"So Mr. Herwen, do you think he deserves to die? ”

Hervin says:

"No, it shouldn't. ”

A look of surprise appeared on Sellens' face:

"Oh, what do you think it is?"

Hervin says:

"I live in an era where your behavior is barbaric and sinful, and in a certain era, this so-called traditional behavior is widely accepted, but this is only because people have to lower their moral standards because of the constraints of the times.

"It is likely that in ancient times, long before you lived, many things that everyone considered ordinary would have been condemned as sin, and I did not always have the moral standards I have today.

It's just that as time goes by, after seeing more and more things, my thoughts are constantly changing, and the right and wrong in my heart will inevitably be misplaced.

"After glancing at each other, I realized that my past self must have thought that my current self was stupid, and I have the same opinion now. ”

Count Cyrens asked with a calm expression:

"You don't look as old as you claim to be. ”

Hervin says:

"You too, aren't you?"

Sellence smiled with satisfaction:

"So, I like to work with smart people.

"I don't really care, and I don't want where you're from, but I want to tell you one thing, and that's this place, without me, they all have to die, and we need to maintain the gray fog, even if I tell them the way, it's useless, they don't have the conditions to maintain protection.

"And in my opinion, you probably don't know either.

"Because you......

"I think I'm a newcomer. ”

Hervin says:

"That's why I need to find my way, I'm looking for an old friend. ”

Silenc wiped his mouth with a napkin, took the cigar handed by the woman and lit it:

"Whew, who are you looking for?"

Herwin asked:

"Have you ever heard of Votigen?"

Sellence furrowed an eyebrow.

Herwin continued to ask:

"Humble King?"

Sellence leaned forward and looked at Herwin with a puzzled look.

Hervin continued:

"White Dragon, the half-king of Oberia, the rightful heir to Ingrans, or some special kingdom?"

Silenc put his hand on the table and thought for a moment:

"What do you mean......

"It's not Avalon. ”

It was Hewen's turn to frown:

"Wait, are you talking about Avalon?"

Sillens says:

"If there is only Avalon in the kingdom of the underworld, I have only heard that it is not easy to get there, at least the methods I know of, I can't do it myself.

"In everyone's legend, it was a place without fog, full of sunshine, rainbows, flowers, and unlike all the places in the underworld, it was beautiful like a fairyland, and it was for this reason that I had always been skeptical that Avalon existed.

"The most famous legend I know of is that in a corner of the Land of Mist, if you can make your way through the Green Forest to a large swamp, where can you find a lonely boat and take it to the center of the swamp.

"A place of love, light, justice, the ideal hometown of Avalon. ”

Sellence smiled sarcastically:

"A true wonderland, right in the deepest part of the underworld. ”
