[Slow Wear] Assassin System

Balder: God knows what I'm going through

Tire's eyes showed a yearning look: "The sun that never sets is really beautiful? The white divine bird should also be beautiful, right?"

Miao Xuan was noncommittal, and continued to narrate: "The divine bird has the responsibility to protect the upper half of the world, but once he met a child... born in the dark in the half of the world without light, he brought up the child and became a His teacher."

"That child grew up, he became very powerful, and learned a lot of... powerful magic."

"Then it brought light to the other half of the world, right!" Tyre was full of hero legend routines, after all, the only literature he had ever come into contact with, "Everyone can be illuminated by the light cage!"

Miao Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled after a while: "No, no, he broke the boundary between the two worlds, and he broke the wings of the divine bird."

Tyre was stunned: "Why, how could it be? He killed his teacher!"

Miao Xuan took a sip of his wine: "Why not? He loves the divine bird and wanted to get it, so he did so."

Miao Xuan also didn't understand why, until he lived in this world for several years - this was the most intuitive time for him to face the darkness, and in this world, he finally saw clearly what he had never understood.

How can a phoenix flying high in the sun know how it feels to be buried in the soil?

"But, if you like it, shouldn't you always follow the teacher?" Tyre still didn't understand, "Why, would you want to hurt him?"

"I once mentioned this story to Fenrir." Miao Xuan recalled, "The answer he gave me was similar to what I thought."

"Because you can't get it no matter what, the divine bird is destined to leave. Since you will never be able to catch up, then go to the extreme."

"It's like the people in this city. They know that they are destined to lose the protection of the sun, and they yearn for the light to the extreme. They can't bear the process of waiting for death. That kind of desire and love may turn into hatred and resentment."

Do the Dark Remnants really hate the light?No, it's not. Over the years, Miao Xuan has traveled through all the fallen cities. He has seen thousands of people sunk in darkness. He has never seen anyone who really doesn't care about light or darkness.

They hate, hate their own fate, hate their own characteristics, hate their compatriots who flow the same blood and stand under the light.

This kind of hatred and infatuation are so tightly intertwined that it has long been difficult to tell the difference.

All problems are unsolvable unless the light shines on every piece of land.

This declining world naturally reminded Miao Xuan of the Demon Realm. The more he saw, the more he could understand Xuanmo's paranoia and despair.

Perhaps he had already seen his hopeless love?There is no future, no ending, only endless despair, coupled with the huge gap between the demon world and the human world...

But understanding does not mean forgiveness, Miao Xuan still firmly remembers the pain of tearing his wings - whoever breaks his wings again, he will still cut off his head.

He does not allow anything to restrict his free path, such as harm in the name of love, such as the so-called responsibility of the king and the weight of the crown.

Till was stunned for a while, then pursed his lips: "So it is, so...is there no way to solve it?"

Of course there is, that is to let the sun disc rise again...

Miao Xuan smiled but didn't answer, just drank with downcast eyes.

They sat in this tavern for a long time, and the night passed like this. Countless people came and went, and Tyr looked at everyone carefully, as if trying to interpret their lives.

Although he wasn't Fenrir, after all, this body had been bled, and he didn't rest for a day and a night. After finally drinking his second glass of wine, Tire began to feel sleepy.

"Brother...I'm so sleepy." He said softly.

Miao Xuan was taken aback: "...Really."

"Brother, I'm so happy today." He leaned his head on Miao Xuan's shoulder, "I saw a lot of different people, everyone is different."

Miao Xuan: "..."

"Thank you, brother..." the young man said earnestly, his thick blue eyes gradually closed, the young man's breathing became longer and longer, and he fell asleep.

No, not falling asleep, but his time was coming to an end.

Miao Xuan put down his wine glass and looked at the gradually brightening light outside the window——morning came, and the lady proprietress opened all the doors and windows, trying to let more light from the sun shine into the tavern.

Such a thin light climbed all the way from the door to the inside, and finally climbed up to the only two guests left in the corner. The light shone on Miao Xuan's pupils, turning the thin emerald into red.

And at this moment, the man on his shoulder finally woke up slowly. He raised his head from Miao Xuan's shoulder, and when he turned around, he revealed the same pair of scarlet eyes.

All the youthful and youthful feelings completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only an invisible smile.

Miao Xuan put down his glass: "Fenrir, there will be no next time."

Fenrir looked at the surrounding taverns, his expression blank for a moment: "This is...you..."

Miao Xuan got up to leave, and he didn't give Fenrir another look.

Fenrir watched him leave, and at the moment Miao Xuan's back disappeared, he subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but at this moment, Boss Nian twisted his body and approached: "This little brother——Scare! Your eyes Was it red?"

Fenrir glanced at her, and it was this glance that made the proprietress tremble with fear.

She mumbled, "You...remember to pay the bill."

Fenrir looked away boredly, and threw the seal that he was carrying close to him casually. The proprietress took a look, and immediately froze her legs in fear: "President, Governor!"

Is there anyone in San Sulca who does not know this seal?That represents the Spike Mark of the governor of the Bright Line of Defense—after the fall of St. Loren, the Bright Line of Defense will move inwards to San Suka, and the Wolf Fangkou will be the owner of the city at that time.

"Please use my token to get the money for tonight's wine at Langyakou - you Sansuka people can go out." Fenrir tidied up the folds of his robes slowly, as if he didn't notice the proprietress who was limp at his feet.

He smiled, his red eyes raised slightly at the corners of his eyes: "I am very satisfied with your hospitality. I had a good night's sleep and a sweet dream."

After Miao Xuan walked out of the tavern, he disappeared into the shadows of the street pavilions, and sneaked back to St. Amber without a sound.

There were too many emergencies, and he was so busy that he forgot the order he had placed... This is really troublesome to the old man.

Miao Xuan turned back to the alley, opened the door, and slowly approached the brightly lit forging room.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw him: "My lord, you are finally here..."

"I'm here to take the things I ordered, and..." Miao Xuan pulled out a few daggers and put them on the table one by one, and at the same time removed his half-arm giant blade, "Please help me check my daggers. Knives, are they damaged."

"What you want is here. I'm sorry. Some fresh vegetables here in St. Amber have been discontinued...something happened a few days ago." The old man bowed slightly and said vaguely, "No farmer is willing to exchange now."

Miao Xuan closed his eyes: "I see, it doesn't matter."

He picked up the order one by one to check the supplies prepared by the old man, and the old man held up the daggers piously, rubbed them carefully and inspected them.

"There are some cracks on the giant blade, but it doesn't matter, it just needs to be repaired a little... The dagger is intact." The old man looked at each handle, and was stunned when he picked up the last one. "My lord, there is one missing."

Miao Xuan had finished proofreading the supplies, and said with regret when he heard the words: "It happened suddenly, and that handle cannot be recovered."

The old man asked again: "Sir, do you need me to renew it for you? Although my craftsmanship is far from before, I am confident that I can still make a usable knife."

This time, Miao Xuan was a little surprised: "I remember that the material of this kind of dagger is very hard to come by, right? Is there any spare 'black iron'?"

Old man: "Actually... back then...well, the queen, no, the 'black iron' sent by the queen mother was enough to make two more sets."

Miao Xuan: "..."

Yes, yes, so many precious metals can be given away, can they be pulled by cart?It won't leave any openings—no, there must be extremely conspicuous traces.

Miao Xuan just wanted to bow his head for his mother: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

-----

The royal capital, the holy city of light.

This is the season of socializing, and it is also the glorious time when the new king ascends the throne. The young monarch is so handsome and dazzling, and most importantly, there is no queen beside him.

This really touched the hearts of all noble ladies.

In the Rose Garden, the Queen Mother clasped her hands together and her eyes were full of longing: "My Balder, what will your future queen be like? Who can be worthy of you! How do you choose?"

Baldr smiled helplessly: "Mother, my queen will definitely be a noble daughter from a famous family. Now that the situation is unstable, I think we should focus on the Kantor family and the Beblen family."

"You...you want a political marriage? But you are the king, you can choose the one you like, and your mother will support you!" The Queen Mother looked surprised, and then said naively, "Shouldn't it be the most beautiful girl who deserves it?" Is it right for you? Then your little prince and princess should be more beautiful and dazzling!"

Balder: "..."

At this moment Baldr fell into the same brain circuit as Miao Xuan.

Yes, yes, my dear mother, you are stronger than me.

The young king knew that it was unreasonable to reason with his mother. If he had had other choices back then, his father and king, who had already gone to see the God of Light, would not have married his mother.

The Saint-Lumir Empire believes in the purification of bloodlines. Compared with marriage, the proud royal family prefers intermarriage. Baldr's parents were married in this way. This pair of cousins ​​not only spans ten years of age, but also has extremely different personalities. match.

Thinking of this, Baldr couldn't help feeling a little rejoicing.

That's great...he doesn't have a younger sister or older sister or cousin, otherwise it would be too unacceptable to be locked into a lifelong partner from birth.

Marriage is the easiest and relatively firm way of forming an alliance. Using marriage to directly form an alliance with either neutral or hostile forces, Baldr has full confidence in taking them under his command over time.

Now that the information on the sun wheel has been brought back, no matter whether we can get the clues of the sun wheel rising again, it is always right to maintain all the power that can be used...

Feng Jun's daughters... He has met them all, and they are all very good girls, but none of them really moved him. He only admired them, but did not throb.

After all, you are still a young man, how could you not have a good idea about your future marriage and partner?Who doesn't want a tacit partner with the same heart?In the end, Baldr still felt a little regretful.

"Okay, it's time to go, let's go see the prince from the north first." The young king asked his mother to hold his hand, and said earnestly, "Mother, please keep smiling and don't talk, the wives in their house Just nod when complimenting the ladies - please be polite and don't show too affectionate attitude."

The queen mother didn't understand, but she nodded: "Is it not possible? But what if there is a girl who is very suitable for you? Can't you boast more?"

Baldr thought of the illegitimate daughter of a little noble that his mother introduced to him last time, and he still remembered that he was almost suffocated by the breath in his heart.

...My lord father, you are amazing.

"Mother..." Balder had to mention the things he was tracking recently, "I want to forge a dagger. I remember seeing materials harder than green steel when I was very young."

The Queen Mother's body stiffened immediately, and she said to him from left to right: "This...you remember correctly? My Balder, how can there be something harder than green steel?"

Balder sighed: "Yes, I remember there were a lot back then, and they seemed to be 'black—'

"Ah! I understand!" The Queen Mother opened the small lace fan with a serious "snap", and fanned it frantically to hide her guilty conscience, "I understand! The wives and ladies of the noble families in the north! I will definitely treat them well. !"

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother smiled stiffly again, her beautiful face was full of reluctance: "Balder, Mom is going to entertain them! Leave everything to Mom!"

After that, she lifted her skirt and ran away. The fast one is indeed the mother of the twins.

Baldr finally couldn't bear it anymore, he slowly covered his face, and after a while he stopped losing his composure: "Kasha."

A middle-aged woman dressed as a maid immediately appeared from the shadows, squatted down beside him and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

"Please take care of the queen mother." Balder said, "Let her...in short, deal with the nobles in the north first, and the emperor in the south will bring his family to the south...the south...the south...God of Light ...Does Lipa's family have seven young ladies?!"

The maid Kaisha hesitated for a while, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, it is true, and it is said that the wife of Libo's family has...a very unusual personality."

Thinking of that scene, Baldr almost fainted. At this moment, he was not worried about his enthronement ceremony at all. He was only afraid that his mother would cause something terrible.

"Then you bring Lina, Su Luna... yes, plus Anne and Chedda from the Knights—from today onwards, the five of you are not allowed to leave the Queen Mother without authorization, and four of you must be present at any time."

Kaisha took the order and solemnly swore with dignity: "We will not let others deceive the Queen Mother!"

"It's up to you." Baldr showed a weary smile, "Thanks to the God of Light, there is no need for border governors to attend the new king's enthronement, otherwise we will see four more families."

His queen mother... It's really hard to describe, but she is such a naive and confused mother who never reveals the slightest answer to the questions she doesn't want to answer.

What "Black Iron" involves is a secret that she absolutely does not want him to know, and... the dead father and king may also acquiesce, and they all have to hide it from him.
