"Aaron, are there any more bullets?"

Sissel Jr. was still practicing his marksmanship, but his inner mind fluctuated and he couldn't calm down, so his marksmanship was inaccurate until he emptied all the bullets in the pouch and missed the bull's-eye.

"There's five more rounds here," Aaron pulled five more pellets out of his pocket, "I can only carry so many at a time, and my dad doesn't know I stole the gun." ”

Little Sissel took the new bullet, took a dozen seconds to recall Aaron's actions just now, picked up the Vulcan gun again, and came to a position ten meters away from the target stack.

"This gun feels completely different from the longbow, and I can't grasp the force. ”

Boom!

Another shot.

His arms shook a little, his body was slightly unsteady, and the recoil shook his scalp.

"It's off again. "Sissel Jr. was a little frustrated.

He pondered, thinking that it would be more comfortable if the pistol had been made in a longer rod shape. This allows him to hold it with his left hand, hold the butt of the gun against the shoulder socket, and aim close to his right cheek like a drawer.

Bang!

Three more shots, he thought as he felt the sensation from the shaking of his arm.

"There's only one left," Sissel Jr. refilled the last pellet into his gun and couldn't help but look up at Aaron, "If I don't hit this shot, I won't have the face to be your teacher." ”

In the distance, Maguta helped change a new target.

"Uncle Jensen, this new target will surely help you get lucky!" cried the boy aloud.

Aaron smiled lightly and said, "Teacher, I have been practicing at home for a week, and I don't know how many pellets I broke before I dared to bring them to you." ”

"Afraid of going off?" Little Sissel laughed, "I'm afraid of hitting you anyway." ”

Aaron shook his head and said, "If you can hit the target with ten bullets, you will be the most powerful sharpshooter in our empire." ”

Little Sissel gasped twice and put the last projectile into the gun.

"Sharpshooter, haha, I wasn't a smart kid since I was a kid, and I'm going to disappoint you, Aaron. ”

"How come? The teacher is the strongest assassin in Ember City......"

"Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first. Little Sissel moved his arms again and said, "Your grandfather Karen thinks I'm stupid every time and says I've disgraced him." I'm really not that smart, and that's not far from the eldest lady of the Corion family. ”

"You've seen her, haven't you? ”

Aaron nodded.

"She, although her temper is a little stubborn, but she is smart and talented, if she uses this gun, it is estimated that she will hit the bull's-eye within three shots. Little Sissel seemed to be showing off, "When I was about the same age as your brother, I also took an identical little bamboo bow and shot more than a hundred arrows at the target, but it didn't hit the inner circle of the target. ”

"Miss Corrien is different, she took my bow and an arrow, oh no...... Two arrows, 'bang'! right in the bull's-eye. ”

He held the Vulcan spear, remembering Leia's movements back then, and made a gesture of drawing a bow.

"Like this?"

Suddenly, the gun in the hands of Sissel Jr. was snatched away.

Boom!

Gunshots echoed.

A flash of red light, and the bullet hit the bull's-eye.

Little Sissel's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Leia, you're here." ”

"Quietly, like a cat, it scared me. ”

"You're still so powerful, one shot, Bang! Little Sissel turned his gaze as if he were looking at her, but as if he wasn't.

Leia smiled slightly, bowed her head and said to Aaron, "You two go home, I have something to do with your master." ”

Aaron Kirk nodded and went back with his brother Maguta.

There was silence in the training range for a while.

"You girl, you missed my last bullet, and I missed a shot. He said this aloud with some embarrassment.

"I'm so nervous that I can't get hit no matter how many shots I take. Leia Corion turned her head and said with a smile, "Good morning, brother." ”

"Well, good morning. ”

Little Sissel knew that there was a deep meaning in her words, but he didn't debunk it. After all, I've never asked my sister what she really thinks, so how can I talk casually.

"You can't even see the bull's-eye, how can you hit it accurately?" Leia continued solemnly, "When we were young, when Uncle Karen first took us on a hunting trip, remember?"

"Of course, your brother and I like the rainforest in the Great West the most. Little Sissel nodded and said, "We went so far that time, over the Mir steppe in the northwest, through the thin tree belt, and climbed several mountains, I remember that time, hahaha, a sharp-beaked bird on the roof of our tent......"

Leia nodded, "yes, we slept in a tent at the time, and we were very happy. ”

"Oh yes, I remember when you shot an amethyst bow to death a long-tailed monkey jumping up and down. Little Sissel took off the dragon head longbow on his back and handed it to Leia, "Come, try, let your brother see if he has grown." ”

Leia took it, gently stroking the dragon's head at the tip of the longbow with her hand. The delicate metallic texture glowed faintly red between her fingers.

She pulled out a black peacock feather arrow from her quiver, tried the strings a little, and immediately drew the longbow.

Wow –

The bowstring shook crisply, and the feathered arrows suddenly departed from the strings, bringing with them a gust of wind.

Little Sissel gasped, this arrow was extremely sharp, and the strength of the arrow made him suspect that his arm strength was not as big as Leia's.

"Brother, I like the depths of the rainforest the most, where there are lions. Leia lowered her arms and said in a dignified voice, "Because when I carried a bow, I was never afraid of wild beasts." ”

Little Sissel smiled and took the longbow of the dragon's head, smiled and plucked the bowstring.

He thought of the western rainforest, with lush trees and fertile soil, which gave birth to countless wild spirit beasts with strong spiritual power.

Leia stood at the front of the entire hunting team, drawing her amethyst longbow, and her sharp arrows pierced through the humid mist and shot straight through a lioness fifty meters away.

Little Sissel was the first to run forward and slit open the lioness's belly with a dagger, and there were three young lion cubs that were about to be born, and the arrow shot through the eye of one of them.

He stared at the bullseye in the distance, and the red dot in the center looked like the original eye.

"Brother. ”

"It's okay......" Little Sissel looked at the pale Leia and touched her hair, "It's okay, it's just a beast, don't be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all. Leia shook her head and smiled, "I just want you to know that my archery skills have been better than you since I was a child. ”

"Of course, my sister is the strongest. Little Sissel laughed out loud.

"That thing, it looks like a moldy chicken leg," Leia pointed to the Vulcan spear on Sissel's waist, "What's the name of that kid just now?"

"Gallician sharpshooter, call it Vulcan. Little Cicese drew his gun slowly, "Hey, that kid's dad did it, it's quite interesting." ”

Leia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh, that kid's surname is Kirk, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Hide it, and don't let my husband see it. Leia sank and whispered.

Hearing the word "husband", little Sissel was a little melancholy, but immediately said: "His Royal Highness the prince also wants this thing?"

As soon as she said this, Leia's tears fell.

"Ouch, what's going on?" Little Sissel hurriedly stepped forward, "Did Rock Langdon bully you? Or did you have something wrong?"

"No, no, they're fine. Leia wiped away her tears and whispered, "I just remembered that the tattoo really hurts, and now I want to cry, cry in pain." ”

Little Sissel was stunned for a moment: "What? tattoos?"

"Well, you see. ”

Leia unbuttoned her chest one by one, revealing her white shoulders. Little Sissel was slightly stunned as she had a tiny tattoo on her smooth back, a skeleton, twin knives, and a ball of red flame.

"When did you get the tattoo?"

She was ready to be scolded, but unexpectedly, her brother didn't get angry, which made Leia a little overwhelmed.

"At the age of sixteen, just like you. The voice was small, but it contained irrepressible excitement and uneasiness.

Little Sissel replied indifferently: "Oh, it's early. ”

"So...... Patriarch Jason Sissel. ”

Leia's expression changed suddenly, and she raised her head and said solemnly: "It is not Leia Corion, the only daughter of the Spirit Clan Patriarch, who married into the royal family, but Leia, the number one female assassin in Ember City, a mercenary of the Gerry Empire. ”

Little Sissel's eyes were unwavering, and he said with a smile: "Your happiness is the most important thing, brother has no opinion." ”

"Brother, don't hide, we can't go back. ”

"Nope. Little Sissel muttered, then fell silent.

"About that prophecy, brother, what the Melting Mei Patriarch said ......" Leia's eyes turned red for a while, and she continued: "I always thought that only a fool would believe the prophecy imagined by an astrologer, but I didn't expect it to really happen to me Leia Corion. ”

"It's quite unexpected, brother, I knew it, but I still went in that direction without hesitation, to be a mercenary, to be an assassin. ”

She smiled bitterly, and then said, "I remember that Uncle Karen always said that there is a mysterious spiritual magician in the Water Empire, he is the master of the world, and if he gets that power, he can become a mortal god. Brother, I know you want to find him, as long as it is what you want to do, it is what I want to help you do, you and I are destined to be ordinary people. ”

"It's time, and it's time for us to choose a path. You know what kind of person I am, anyway...... How could I possibly accept the fate of the family's arrangement?"

In an instant, the emotions churning in Sissel's chest rushed to the cranial cavity.

"Leia Corion, it's not your choice. ”

Leia smiled, "Desert or rainforest, which one will my brother choose?"

"I don't know. ”

"No, it must be answered," Leia pulled Little Sissel's sleeve and said in a dignified voice, "This is one of the problems you owe me!"

"Uh...... Well, desert. ”

"Hmm. Between you, and alive, I choose you. Leia was stubborn and said with a smile: "Brother, no matter what happens, no matter how many choices I make, I will choose you." ”
