Legend has it that in the Sissel family, who led the mercenary group, a deceased archer invented fireworks.

The longbow used by the archer was made of keel, similar to the dragon's head longbow in the hands of Jensen Sissel.

At this time, he was playing with a group of four or five-year-old children, and the dragon's head longbow in his hand glowed dark red, like a beating dragon heart.

The children laughed and their voices were as crisp as water drops falling on cold marble. In the midst of those touching laughter, a little girl urged, "Brother Sissel, I want to see the fireworks." ”

"Good. Jensen Sissel's heart suddenly tightened.

He often heard this sentence when he was a child, and his sister always said, "If you don't let me see enough today, I'll go to Uncle Karen to complain, and you will look good then!"

Although he didn't know whose child it was, he quickly ran to the clearing not far away, and his fingers pulled the bowstring of the dragon's head longbow, "Teng Teng" three times, and in an instant, several dazzling lights lit up the sky and the street where they were.

A rapid rain of arrows roared into the sky. In the darkness of the night, the flaming arrows began to ignite from the arrow, and gradually burned to the end of the arrow. Like a phoenix flying with wings spread and soaring in the air, the stars on its tail feathers falling one after another, gradually extinguishing and cooling.

Jensen Sissel raised his arm, the tips of his fingers urged a spiritual power, and the vanishing fireworks once again ignited in mid-air, and the glittering wooden arrows burst into fiery red fireworks on the ground, even changing into the shape of leaves or flowers, landing at his feet, crackling and jumping, making children mistake them for elves or the spectacle of large fireflies.

"Stay away. ”

When the children had dispersed, Jensen pulled his longbow again, and with two more "Teng" sounds, two arrows glowing red fell to the ground. A golden dragon flew out of the flames, the size of a small snake and the thickness of a thumb, but the dragon's head was lifelike, and its fiery eyes switled around the children a few times.

Jensen smiled and swiped his fingers from side to side, and the dragon obediently twisted in front of the boy and girl, swaying from side to side with his movements.

"Now, who is the bravest child!"

Then, the dragon spat out flames several times in front of the children, causing them to run in all directions, trying to avoid the flames. But Jensen hooked his fingers and retrieved his spiritual power, and the bright flames were extinguished, leaving only wisps of black smoke that smelled of burnt.

"The children of Ember City, don't be afraid of the flames. ”

Jensen Sissel has been the king of children since he was a child, and he still is.

When the children were tired of running, they sat around little Sissel and chatted with each other.

Suddenly, a little boy asked, "Brother Jensen, why haven't you seen Grandpa Karen lately?"

"It's wrong, it's wrong, you can't call grandpa, my brother's father should be called uncle. ”

"Should I call Uncle Jensen so I can call Grandpa Karen?"

Jensen Sissel shook his head and said with a doting expression, "You should indeed call me uncle." ”

One of the little boys said, "Uncle Jensen, I have been waiting for a long time last time when my grandfather said that he would make me a small wooden sword, when will he come back?"

"Little wooden sword, can I do it for you tomorrow? Grandpa has very important things to do, and he can't go back to Ember City for the time being. ”

The boy asked again, "Do you mercenaries run out so often that they don't come back for a long time?"

Jensen crouched down and patiently explained, "Not really. If the mission goes well, they will be able to come back in three or two days, but there are also some people who will never come back for the rest of their lives. ”

"Why?"

"Because they went to other countries, they found that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and they could buy a lot of toys in the grocery store that you hadn't seen before, which was much better than our Ember City, so they lived happily there. ”

"Then I will also be a mercenary in the future, and when the time comes, I will play all the interesting and interesting places in the whole continent!"

"Little hero, didn't you say you wanted to learn assassination from me, and now why do you regret becoming a mercenary?" Jensen Sissel handed the boy the bow in his hand, "If you want to be a mercenary, you must be able to handle this bow." ”

The force on the boy's arm was small, and the longbow fell to the ground with a "dang bang".

"Ah—be careful, this is Uncle Jensen's treasure. The girl exclaimed.

"Of course I do. It's just that I don't have too little strength, and I didn't mean to. The boy pouted and waved at Jensen, "Uncle, I'll bring my brother to you tomorrow to learn assassination!"

"Good. He also waved his hand, turned his head and smiled at the little girl, "It's not early, go home quickly, Mom and Dad must be waiting for you at home." ”

The little girl nodded thoughtfully: "Then Uncle Jensen will also come home early, and Mom and Dad are also waiting for you." ”

"Okay, of course, I'll go home. ”

Looking at the lonely back of the little girl, Jensen Sissel couldn't bear to tell the truth to the child: Grandpa Karen was no longer there.

"Mercenaries" are the largest race in the Fire Elemental Empire, and as the name suggests, a race that relies on war to obtain bounties. "Mercenary" is just a general term, attached to the mercenary group, as well as bounty hunters and treasure hunters.

Mercenaries kill people, bounty hunters hunt spirit beasts, and treasure hunters hunt for treasures, and there is no conflict of interest between the three, so they live together peacefully in this Ember City. Their faith is wealth, and the purpose of participating in the war is only for monetary rewards-

The mercenary will not be deterred by the mercenary's injustice, as long as the other party bids high enough, the mercenary can be hired by anyone. Of course, it will not be like the spiritualists of other empires, who hypocritically think that breaking ground on the heads of dead people will make black money.

Because of this, some people can come back in three or two days, while others will never come back for the rest of their lives.

The number of mercenaries of the Fire Empire is equivalent to an entire imperial army of another country, or even more. General Karen Sissel is a well-known treasure hunter and mercenary leader. Like most bounty hunters, his background is simple and emotional.

The Sissell family has been hunters for generations, and has been employed by the Fire Empire royalty for many years, and lives a solid and happy life. Karen Sissel and his wife are the famous "God of War couple", but they are more like a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks, who once won more than a dozen bounty orders in three days with the strength of only two of them, and hung the head of the corpse on the notice board, receiving countless rewards overnight, and becoming a famous family on the rich side of the empire.

The legend of Karen Sissel spreads more and more, and the bounty quests on the Sissel family notice board increase. Even children of three or four years old know that as long as Grandpa Karen in Ember City picks up the iconic twin blades, the bounty will be reduced by one and there will be one less big bad guy in the world.

Karen Sissel was half a horse, and his wife gave birth to a son for him. The boy resembled his father in appearance and temperament, and was determined to kill and be imposing, and when he was a teenager, he rode a horse and led a group of mercenaries across the desert to find countless treasures for his family.

His fighting skills have improved rapidly, and he has hunted nearly 100 bounties for his parents before he is a minor, and he has never suffered a defeat.

The boy's name was Jensen Sissel. At this moment, he was staring at the dragon's head longbow, and his mind was full of the fireworks that were set off at nine o'clock every night when his parents were there.

_

Finally, Jason Sissel walked home slowly. Subconsciously glanced at the bulletin board, on which a long-lost reward order was pasted, and the lonely, pitiful one swept away with the gentle breeze.

It's been a long time since anyone posted a bounty order.

With only a faint glance, he conveniently uncovered the paper, silently carried the dragon's head longbow, and walked up to the Entropy Sky Tower.

Little Sissel climbed these hundreds of steps, and it seemed to take him a whole spring.

This entropy tower was built in the year of Jensen Sissel's birth, and General Karen paid a lot of money to build it with the builders of the Gerry Empire, as a gift to his wife and the heir of the new family.

At that time, the Fire Empire was not as rich and powerful as it is now, and Karen Sissel fought everywhere to conquer the world for the king. At that time, the southern part of the continent was a group of loose principalities, where rangers and snitches were prevalent, and most of the nomads in the desert oasis were exiled captives and felons, and there was no order at all.

Karen Sissel is one of them, a ranger who has been a hunter for twenty years, and by chance came to the kingdom of Gree to worship under King Sander.

King Sander was a sword-wielding man intent on annexing other principalities and quelling the chaos in the south. Such ambition happened to follow Karen's wishes, so he was loyal to the Gerry Empire, and since then, the desert forces have become a brave general.

To this day, when people look up at the tower, they still think of Karen Sissel's remarkable contribution to the entire empire.

The Entropy Tower is a symbol of the founding heroes and a symbol of the general.

As long as the Gerry Empire does not fall, the Entropy Tower will not fall.

Walk up to the top floor of the Entropy Tower, take off the loose dark red spiritual robe, fold it in precious velvet, and place it on the back of the chair. He wrapped the cherished dragon-headed longbow in strips of cloth layer by layer, put it in a semicircular bow bag, and finally tied a belt that had been used for many years at one end and hung it on the wall.

The Entropy Tower has windows to the north, east, and west. When Jensen Sissel faces west, he can faintly see the glowing skyline of the city, which is the border of the Violet Empire. During the day, you can see the palace of the Fire Empire's royal family, the red dome, and the complex surrounded by a cloister.

He thought over and over again the name on the bounty order, "Yu", he had never heard of it, and he didn't know what its origin was.

He swore that it would be the last time he would set off fireworks with his dragon's head bow.

His bow, his double blade, henceforth only kills.

The Karens Sissels no longer exist, and everything that exists now belongs only to Jensen Sissel.
