Chapter 103 Chapter One
... Therefore, the so-called magic of our era, in addition to the achievements of those predecessors, can only see some incompetent scholars who have no ability. In this case, mana is scattered and I don't know where to go , the academic tradition collapsed and declined.Although countless spellbooks are published, wizards are few and far between.After wandering in the labyrinth of magic books (of course, wizards who can find their way there are extremely rare), they raised their sour eyes and indulged in looking up at the glorious era——Archmage Hendrick The age of Rainbow Soloch.The name of the Archmage is not so much the name of a wizard, but rather has become synonymous with the era when his magic was once powerful...

"Shh! Be quiet!" "Huh? Huh, what's the matter?" I pulled Shan Sen aside, asking him to stand in the shadow of the building I was hiding from.Shan Sen said in a daze, "What's going on, Xiu Qi?" "Look there." After Shan Sen saw where my hand was pointing at, he lowered his voice naturally. "Huh? Hassler and Ebolyn?" "Yeah. Be quiet!" Shan Sen is also starting to imitate me now.I mean he imitated me in the shadow of the shed, and then pressed my back against the wall and stood like a corpse.Shan Sen and I stood side by side looking at Aibo Lin and Hassler. The shed we're staying tonight is number 1-4... Medley Ridge, I can't remember the number.In any case, the hut was on the top of the cliff, and now Hassler and Abeline were sitting on the very edge of the cliff, facing the moonlight.The father and daughter didn't say anything, just looked down at the bottom of the cliff.Maybe they were talking quietly, but I couldn't hear their voices.As for Shan Sen, he only approached when I was hiding here watching them. In front of my eyes was a ridge and peaks, against the background of the dark night sky, they were illuminated by the moonlight in the distance, shining white like bones.Hoo hoo hoo.The wind blowing into the mountains skimmed the bottom of the cliff, breathing out a moan like a whimper.The winter mountains in winter nights, the word cold is not enough to describe their multiple feelings.Thick clouds floated, covering the moonlight for a while, and revealing the moonlight for a while.And there's a strong wind blowing here... Maybe it might rain. Suddenly, Hassler raised his arms.He seemed to want to put his arms around Abeline's shoulders. But Aibo Lin turned sideways slightly in a daze, and immediately, Hassler's half-raised arm dropped powerlessly.I couldn't help but froze anxiously, but in the end I made a loud noise, and I quickly shut my mouth.uh uh!I almost bit my tongue. Shan Sen was next to me to see the scene with me, he leaned his body to my side, and whispered to me: "Hey, when will they start..., uh!" "Ann, be quiet! What's the matter with you?" After covering his own mouth in fright, Shan Sen said in a nervous voice: "Something has been hitting my ass..." "It's me. Get your ass out of my face!" After Shan Sen got out of the way in fright, he said, "Isaihand? Have you been hiding here since just now?" Ai Saihande muttered with a dissatisfied tone.At this time, another voice came. "He's been here thirty minutes." When Shan Sen heard Wen Chai's voice, he was startled again, and he turned to look beside me.Wen Chai stood in the shadow beside me, showing his teeth slightly and smiling. Shan Sen said in disbelief: "Huh? You've been here too? How many people are hiding here in this shadow?" "What? I don't know either. I just found out that Ai Saihande is here." As soon as Shan Sen heard Nelia's answer, he was stunned and speechless.Huh?Had even Nelia been here all this time?I looked up and saw the low roof of the hut—with large, thick, flat eaves built to withstand the strong winds in the mountains—from which I could see a pair of feet dangling back and forth.Uh.Has she been sitting there? "Everyone, please don't talk." Ouch!It was Carl who was whispering.I looked to the side and Carl was looking out with his arm propped on the window frame of the shed.He even put his finger straight in front of his mouth as soon as he saw me.After the six spies confirmed each other's existence, we quietly observed the father and daughter again. crunch! Uh ah ah!I almost passed out.The door of the shed was suddenly opened, and something white suddenly jumped out forward.It was something like a white cloth that flew up against the night wind, and under the white cloth were Gerent's feet.Then the white cloth said in Gerente's voice, "You two! It's so cold. It's fine for you two to have some father-daughter affection, but please at least cover this first!" Gerent walked towards Hassler and Ebolyn, and said with a grin.He handed the quilt in his hand to Hasler, but Hasler didn't say anything.Gerent shrugged immediately, and put the quilt on Abeline's shoulders. Shan Sen, who was standing beside me, let out a sound of almost dying breath.I took a deep breath and whispered, "Shansen..., did something fall by your feet?" "Ok?" "I mean my heart." "Ah, that's the one I stepped on just now?" While the two of us were going back and forth with this nonsense gossip, Ebolyn thanked Gerente. "Thank you, Gerente." "No, you're welcome. Hahaha! You must have a lot to say. But it's cold at night, please come in quickly." After Gerente said this, he folded his arms and turned around.When he came trembling, he found us standing stiffly against the side wall of the shed.Gerent opened his eyes wide. "Huh? What are you doing here...?" At this moment, the actions of each of us are simply dumbfounding.Shan Sen moved his mouth like a goldfish's mouth, and shook his hands frantically from side to side, while Esaihand raised his arms high and kept shaking them.Wen Chai raised his eyebrows, covered his mouth with his hands, and made a humming sound; Karl hurried into the window, but fell down, and there was a bang and Karl's groan.Gerente looked at us with a mocking expression, and said very laboriously: "...What? Please tell me, you mountains!" Uh!The guardian of the secret agent, Gerent, shouted with great enthusiasm: "Please tell me, O stars! O wind! What are you doing here? After the creation of the world, you continue to exist here, and you must use your eyes silently. Seen many things. Tell me now, then! Hahaha! Miss Ebolyn! What a good night, isn't it? It's prayer! It's faith!" Aibo Lin looked back at Gerente with blank eyes, but before she could say anything, Gerente walked into the shed with a smile like someone who had a typhoid fever.Wow haha!boom! Just as the door was closing, the movements of the six spies froze. For a while we didn't even dare to breathe, just stood there.Fortunately, neither Ebolyn nor Hassler noticed anything, and they returned to the way they were just now. "Uh uh uh.... I'm about to pass out. This is not going to work. Let's go in quietly." When I heard Shan Sen's words, I gave a negative answer. "If Hassler and Ebolyn escape like this, what should we do?" "Huh? Uh, well. If Hassler wants to escape, where can he escape?" Carl quietly poked his head out of the window again, and when he heard Shan Sen's words, he showed a very interested expression.Shan Sen looked at the father and daughter who were far away on the cliff, then pulled the hair hanging down his forehead, and said, "It would be better if they just escaped like this." Suddenly, only the sound of night filled the surroundings of the shed.Only then did Shan Sen realize that everyone was paying attention, and he felt the need to explain more about what he said. "Well, Ebolyn has found her father, and Hassler has found her daughter, hasn't she? They escape like this, and without anyone knowing, the two of them can live happily ever after... Well, this way everyone will be happy. " "Shansen, Shansen, you are right, it's really cool!" "Yeah, it bothers me!" Shan Sen muttered to himself in a triumphant voice.Nelia, who had been listening to us all the time, laughed a few times, stretched the trident down and stuck it on the ground, and then slipped down along the trident.Really great!Nelia leaned back against the window and whispered into Carl's ear, who was sticking his head out of the window: "Can't we part ways with them early tomorrow morning, Uncle Carl?" "You mean Mr. Hassler and Miss Ebolyn?" "Yes. Well..., I will come up with some money, a sum of money that is enough for the two of them to start again. Hasler is a famous swordsman, so it should be safe wherever he goes. If you let them The two left quietly, which is very good, very good." "Well, Miss Nelia, you seem to be thinking wrong. As far as I am concerned, if the two of them want to leave, I have no right to restrict them, do I? Hassler is not our prisoner. So that is Their freedom. And Miss Nelia, you said that you want to help, this is actually your freedom." Nelia showed an embarrassed expression when she heard Carl's calm statement.Ok. When I think about it now, Hassler can be said to be in a rare situation.Hassler is Nix's 'leave it alone' subordinate.In other words, they have broken away from the master-slave relationship, and we don't seem to have the right to arrest him.Of course, if it comes down to it, Hassler is the King's enemy, and therefore our public enemy... Wen Chai clearly pointed out this point. "He's a rebel, isn't he?" Wen Chai's words came from the darkness, like a mountain wind blowing towards the shadows.It was a low but fierce and terrifying sound.After looking at the two of them with a thoughtful expression, Karl said: "Although it is said that the thief can be tied to the gallows, there is no way to bring back the hammer or crowbar that the thief used to steal things. law, isn't it?" Nelia suddenly giggled.She must have thought of the hammer dangling on the gallows.However, Wen Chai didn't smile at all, he said: "Hassler...is not a prop. He obeys Nex's words with free will." "Let's ask him." "what?"
The entire shed is a huge building, but the interior is divided into rooms by several walls.The room we used was a resting room for travelers, and there was no special furniture in it except some beds covered with hay, a small table, and a fireplace.There are only a few nails on the wall and a shelf to hang or put luggage on, that's all in the room. Their stockpile of hay (to feed the horses in the sheds in the winter) seemed to be pretty good, so the troopers put in fresh hay for our beds. Ghisien asked them not to give him special treatment because he was a prince, but the captain of the mounted police said that this is what all travelers should be treated in winter, which made Ghisien a little embarrassed. In any case, Renee and Ebolyn fell asleep on the hay, which Ghisien found embarrassing.They chose a bed closest to the fireplace, leaned against each other, and fell asleep with tired expressions.Nelia, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in front of the fireplace, after she looked up at the faces of the two young girls.He turned his head to look at Hassler sitting in front of the table. Hassler was staring at Aiboline with tired eyes.On the other side of the table, Karl was sitting there. He looked at Hassler, and then at Ebolyn. Except for Ghisien who went to ask the captain of the mounted police about the movements of the refugees passing through the Central Avenue, others sat with their legs dangling beside the bed, and some leaned against the wall. We all looked at the two people sitting at the table. Carl spoke: "Mr. Hassler, did you have a good chat with Lingmei?" Hassler was a little embarrassed, but still kept his mouth shut. Karl scratched his chin first, and soon after, Karl said again: "Not long ago, I saw the two of you coming in, and they seemed to be very friendly... ..." Just now Hassler put his arms around Ebolyn's shoulders, and Eboline leaned on Hasler's waist. They walked into the shed like this.According to Carl, although that appearance can be described as a harmonious feeling, Ebolyn immediately lay down on the bed in silence as soon as she entered the shed, and Hassler just looked at her daughter quietly, and then Sit down at the table.From then until now, that pose. "Is this considered a harmonious relationship?" Hasler still had a stiff mouth this time, which made Karl panic.I saw Alvnaid suddenly smile, and when I turned around, I saw Gerent cheering up Karl.Gerent waved his arms and said with his mouth: 'He is very quiet, so don't feel discouraged!Karl!This person must need help!You try again! 'I saw his excited face and quickly covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing out loud. Maybe it was because Gelent encouraged Karl, or maybe because he thought of something else to say, so Karl said, "By the way, Mr. Hassler, what do you plan to do in the future? Your boss at the same time It was also your friend, Captain of the Guard, Jonathan Alvned, who told me..." "Is the captain all right?" Karl was taken aback by Hassler's sudden question. "Huh? Ah, he's fine. Although he looks like he's worried about you and Ling Ai. Anyway, he told me that he hopes you and Miss Ebolyn can find a place where they can live in peace and live there. He said that your misfortune should not even be borne by you, you should rediscover the happiness you haven't enjoyed for too long." Hassler lowered his head and shook it from side to side several times.Although it was a slow, small movement, it was a heavy movement filled with an atmosphere of despair. After a while, Hassler still lowered his head, and he said: "People can't live like the storyline." "Well...'They lived happily ever after...' That's my favorite ending to the story, and I think it's possible." "Do you want me to give my daughter the life of a fugitive?" "...you were a rebel and probably spent the rest of your life escaping justice. No, I should say I think that's the way to go. You're a great fighter, though, and the western part of the continent is still undeveloped. It's no different in the Wild Lands of Twilight. I don't think you'll have to worry about being hunted if you escape to the homeland of Twilight." "And what about my daughter's future?" "What Lingmei needs is her father. For now, there should be nothing greater than this gift that can be given to Miss Aiboline. Miss Aiboline's future is her responsibility. And when she needs to worry In the future, many years should have passed. Time will give people the gift of forgetting, which is the same for everyone.Mr. Hassler, your business will gradually be forgotten. " Karl seemed to have exhausted all his strength in order to speak these few short sentences, and closed his mouth again.Carl rested his arms on the table, and after looking at Hassler for a moment, he sighed and leaned back in his chair.He folded his hands on his breast, and said: "And what are you going to do, Mr. Hassler?" Hassler didn't answer, but Nelia's eyes began to lift upwards.Nelia was still sitting on the fur blanket in front of the fireplace, tucking her legs under her knees, and said in this posture: "Excuse me, what are you thinking now? Are you trying to help Nirvana?" To help Max to the end, to help him flourish after the successful rebellion, and to make Ebolyn a noble lady, well, if you think so, I advise you to give up this idea." Hasler looked at Nelia with melancholy eyes.Nelia put her legs to the left and right, put her hands on her knees, and said, "Except for you, everyone else knows that Nex is hopeless now. That idiot Jake is also very aware of this fact, Isn't it?" When Nelia said Jake's name, I felt a tremor in her voice. But the trembling disappeared as soon as it appeared, and Nelia continued to say in a crisp voice: "Also, Ebolyn doesn't care if she can be a noble lady. If she stays at Harshtel's house all the time, huh , although I will be very unhappy in my heart, but after all, she is a young lady of the Hushtel family. She should marry a good family, and she will even be called a noble lady in the future. But Ebolyn escaped from there , isn't it? You are her father, so you should understand your daughter's heart!" I felt a thud go through my chest.Calvin's elegant mouth would never say such frank words, and Nelia's words made me feel very refreshed.Hasler looked at Nelia without any change in expression, but his eyes began to blink slightly. Nelia stood up suddenly and walked to the bed.Nelia pointed at Ebolyn lying on the bed with one finger, while Hassler's face seemed to be seeing a gorgon, showing a sense of rigid fear.Nelia pointed to the sleeping Aibo Lin, and said: "Your daughter, what she cares about is not a father who is a man of the times or a great rebel, what she wants is a father who can call him Dad .Don't you understand what I'm talking about?" Hasler's head shook slightly from side to side.He understood what Nelia meant.Then, Nelia put her hands on her hips and said, "So, what's the problem? Although your face has undergone plastic surgery, Aibo Lin recognizes this father. When you spoke just now, Aibo Lynn recognized you, do you remember that? Now, even this is not a problem. You hide in a quiet place, calm your mind, and do your due responsibilities. Do Good Ebolyn's father's duty! Duty!" The word 'responsibility' that came out of Nelia's mouth seemed to be floating in mid-air with a form.So, for a while, no one spoke, and a period of silence passed. Hassler struggled to speak: "I am a man who has long since given up being a father. I ran away because of coercion, and handed over my daughter because of that vile desire." "Then you can change it back!" Nelia's answer came in the blink of an eye.But Hasler's answer became even slower. "I know what you mean...but I can't leave my master alone." "Excuse me, do you mean Nex Shulizhe?" Gerent interrupted suddenly, causing Nelia to shut her mouth when she was about to shout.Hasler looked at Gerente with tired eyes, while Gerente tilted his head and said doubtfully: "What? Are you mistaking yourself for Master Harshtel from three hundred years ago?" No matter where the master is, he must always be followed and served as the master...is that what you mean?" "Please don't compare me to that knight fool!" This is the first time I've seen Hasler so angry since I've known him.Although his voice was deep, it was so intense that Gerente's mouth froze instantly. Gerent opened his mouth wide and looked at Hassler, who stared at the table with a frowning expression. After a while, Carl said cautiously: "But as far as I know, your master wants you to leave him." "I know that. But loyalty is my business, and obedience is my business." Carl looked at Hassler's frowning forehead and said, "Why did you follow him like that? He made an agreement with you to fulfill your wish. What is the wish?" When Hassler suddenly raised his head, I saw his piercing eyes and couldn't help but take a deep breath.He gritted his teeth and said, "It's Harshtel's downfall. Let his blood run off without a drop, completely destroyed!" It took Carl a long time to speak again.Hassler's extreme anger even affected the unworried dwarf beater Isaihand, who was stunned and stared at Hassler with a pale expression.Carl said, "I... if I said I understand your anger, I'd be talking nonsense." Hassler looked at Carl with piercing eyes.While avoiding his gaze, Karl said in an awkward voice: "I heard from Lord Alvned... about your wife. It's only natural that you would hate Harshtel. It's very natural. thing." "You said it was a matter of course, but you actually couldn't understand the words that came out of your own mouth. You just said that you couldn't understand my anger..." "……yes." "Shall I tell you how I feel?" Hasler suddenly glared at the bed.Huh?Why was he staring at Eboline and Renee like that all of a sudden... Renee?Hasler stood up from the chair, pointed at Renee, and said in a fearsome voice: "That girl should be Harshtel's daughter, right?" At this moment, Nelia's face turned blue.She ran quickly to the side of the bunk, out of the way of Ebolyn and Renee.After Hasler glared at Nelia, he took a step forward, and Nelia looked up at Hasler with a pale face in fright.She bit her lower lip tightly, opened her arms left and right, and sparks burst out from Hasler's eyes.At this moment, "Stop!" Wen Chai had been standing motionless against the wall since just now, and it seemed that only his mouth was still alive in his body parts.Wen Chai did not move at all as he leaned against the wall, but glared at Hassler blankly, and said, "Don't try to act rashly!" Hasler looked at Wenchai as if seeing something very rare. "When I want to do this, do you think you can stop me?" But Wen Chai still had that expressionless face.Only his mouth was still moving alone on his face. "I heard your nickname is 'Hot Sword Gran'." The moment he spoke, a vicious and grim smile emerged from his lips. "Those stupid bears in the north call you that, I don't necessarily agree with it." Hassler burst out laughing.He sat in front of the table, without even looking at Wen Chai, and said, "Your whims are too time-consuming. Because, I don't want to do anything at all right now." Who took a long breath?If it wasn't Alfred, it might be Shan Sen who was sitting next to him.My long breath of relief was too loud, so I couldn't hear other people's long sighs.While sitting at the table, Hassler said to Carl: "I can't even see that girl lying with my daughter now, I can't stand it." "Rei, Miss Renee is not at fault at all..." What sounded like words came out of Karl's trembling mouth with difficulty.Hasler didn't answer, but Karl bit his lip and took a deep breath.After falling into a sense of terror that did not emanate from a human being, Nelia was finally freed. She began to sob, and Wenchai saw her like that.frowned.Just when Alvned was clumsily trying to comfort her, Hasler said, "That's right. As long as they bear the name of Harshtel, I want to kill them all. I Just thinking about what he did to my family makes me hate his family so much, it's no surprise." "But...but what are you going to do? Your hatred can only destroy your own life. No matter how hard you try to struggle, you can't do anything to the Marquis. And even if it's Nex, in the current situation You can't deal with the Marquis. You should think about the reality, shouldn't you?" "If I had thought of reality at that time, I wouldn't have participated in the rebellion!" Carl's mouth froze.Hasler said, as if breathing out flames: "I will let Harshtel end his vile life at my feet. I will definitely do it." "Can't you forgive him?" A calm voice suddenly came.I turned my head and saw that there was Alvned who had been clumsily comforting Nelia since just now.He still only looked at Nelia, but he was indeed the one who said this.Hassler said, "You want me to forgive him?" Alvned touched Nelia's shoulder a little, then stood up slowly.He turned quietly to Hassler.After meeting Hasler's burning gaze, he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes." "Why should you forgive him?" "I've only accepted forgiveness from others, and I've never forgiven anyone, so I can't tell you exactly what... But why do people say Ubinie's pole is straight?" Alvnaid's calm tone brought Hassler back to his usual reticence.Alfred first showed a distressed expression, then he pointed at Gerent and said, "Ask Gerent." "Huh? Huh? Me?" All eyes were on him, and Gerente immediately replied in a flustered tone.Alvnaid nodded and said: "I don't know if this is a very unpleasant memory for you, but Nex Xiulizhe once wanted to kill you, do you remember?" uh, huh?correct!In the Great Labyrinth, Gerent was almost killed by Nex.If there is no Dragon King, he should be dead.Gerent opened his eyes wide and said, "Ah, that incident... Of course I still remember it. Because it was a very unique and difficult experience. Haha." "I suppose so. But this evening you showed no sign of anger against him." This time, all the eyes that were different from before were focused on Jay Lun.Geraint scratched the back of his head, and Alvned smiled. "You don't look like you can forgive him." "Yes... If you insist on saying that, well, that's right." "How can you do it? I mean, he's the one who tried to kill you." Everyone thought it was amazing to watch Gerente.Gerent laughed like a fool, and said: "Because I have a noble and compassionate character. Well, Ai Saihande. It's not good to laugh like that when others are talking. Please don't do that, Okay? Ah, thanks. Well, yeah, would it be okay if I said there's no need to hate in particular?" "Priest, please explain." Alfred said solemnly.This made Geraint show a panicked expression.Gerent scratched the back of his head again, and said, "Well, that's because I saw his changed appearance." "What will he look like after the change?" "Yes. Although God will bless us, we are not gods ourselves. We are human, so we make mistakes and sin. But we know we will change, don't we? We have a short life span, but in fact It's a very long life, Isaihand! I didn't mean to ask you not to laugh like that! Well, in such a long time, there is plenty of time to change, so we will forgive each other. This is the greatest relationship between God and man. point of difference." "The biggest point of difference?" "Yes. God can't change it, but human beings can." The room was suddenly filled with a sense of calm.Would the immortal gods envy us?Will God who cannot change yearn for us? "God is infinite and unchanging. If it can change, it is not a god. But people can change. And when we face other people, we must remember that the other person is a human being who will know how to change. Well, I With this explanation, everyone can understand.” "Of course I understand. Thank you priest." Alfred still said solemnly, while Gerent smiled with a panicked expression.Alvnaid looked at Hassler again. Hasler looked at the table with a heavy expression, and said, "You mean, you hope Harshtel will change his mind?" "is it hard?" Hasler looked up slowly.He looked at everyone in the room.Except for Wen Chai, everyone else had to turn their heads away because of his piercing eyes. Hassler raised his hands, brushed his hair back slowly, and trembled like a frog dropped into the water. "Even my master forgives you." Hassler shook his head after saying so in a hoarse voice. "But even my master can't forgive Byzos and Harshtel." Karl asked with a serious expression: "Your master...why do you hate Byzos and Harshtel so much, can you tell us? What does this have to do with the eight stars your master heard about?" "Relationship? Everything started with Eight Stars and Lutanio's Magic Autumn!" With a calm expression, Hassler began to tell the story.We were all drawn into his stories one by one.
blah blah blah. Hendrick ran down the stairs with astonishing momentum.At this moment, although he felt a temptation to ignore the stairs and use the space teleportation technique to go straight down, he still resisted and walked to the basement with only two legs.Hendrick wanted the opponent to block him, because that way he could justify his attack.On the other hand, he also wondered if they could really stand against him, Hendrick. The dank, cold air from the basement rushed up, making white smoke come out of his mouth. After Hendrick walked up the stairs, he saw a huge iron door.In front of the iron gate, stood two knights - Ilse and He Zili were guarding the gate. "Stop, who are you?" Ilse and Hezri moved quickly, rushed towards the person walking down the stairs, and each drew their swords.However, the intruder just stood quietly, so He Zili lifted up the lantern resting on the floor.Through the light of the lantern, Hendrick's indifferent face appeared, and He Zili couldn't help moaning in disbelief. "Lord Hendrick? No, why did you come here..." Hendrick kept his mouth shut.Ilse and He Zili stood in front of the door, obviously, they must have something to hide from him.Hendrick let out a suppressed voice from his lips: "You two are doing goalkeeper work, so, what is behind this door?" He Zili avoided Hendrick's sight with a panicked expression.But Ilse still maintained the posture of pointing the sword directly at Hendrick's heart, and said coldly: "Please go back, Hendrick." "You have to give me three reasons why I must do this." "I'm not in the mood to joke with you, and the circumstances don't allow us to. No one invited you here. Please go back." Hendrick said sharply: "Although no one asked me to come, no one told me not to come. No, I should correct this sentence. If anyone dares to tell me not to come, I will get rid of this person. "Ils's sword tail shook a few times.This was not caused by the sense of fear, but because of the advanced swordsmanship that he naturally showed when he made up his mind, and dazzled the opponent's gaze by skillfully shaking the tail of the sword.He really deserves to be a well-trained fighter Ilse.Now he's going to 'kill Hendrick'. Seeing this situation, He Zili said in a panicked tone: "Master Hendrick! Although we know that doing this will make you feel very unhappy, we are following the order of the king, and no one is allowed to stay here. People go in. Your Majesty will not even block you, but we can't interpret His Majesty's order with our own ideas. So, please be sure to go back. " He Zili opened his arms left and right, and said sincerely and kindly.However, Hendrick still had a grim expression on his face. "As the great Lord Ilse said just now, I'm not in the mood for jokes right now, and the circumstances won't allow me to. I'll have to see what you're doing in there! You're putting your swords back in their scabbards before you die , or do you want to die with the sword in your hand?" These vicious words made He Zili open his mouth in surprise, and Ilse rushed towards him with a fierce shout. "Yeah!" Ilse's sword pierced Hendrick's heart with terrifying speed.But at the next moment, Ilse's sword disappeared to nowhere, and because he lost his center of gravity, his knee suddenly hit the ground. "Wooah!" 贺滋里喊出难以区分出是尖叫声还是用力出招的声音，并且冲向亨德列克，可是在下一瞬间，他的身体却在半空中停住了。然后下一秒钟，贺滋里就头朝地下，往墙壁方向飞了过去。 "Ahhh!" boom!贺滋里撞击到墙壁，连惨叫声都还来不及喊出，就只是瞠目结舌地瞪着前方。可能是因为他咬到舌头，所以从嘴里流出了一条细细的血柱。刚才倒在地上的伊尔斯见状，破口大骂着拔出匕首，想要去刺亨德列克，可是在下一瞬间，他却叫出了像是肺腑被撕裂开的惨叫声。 “呃呃啊啊啊！我，我的手臂！哇啊啊！” 伊尔斯连手肘也烧得焦黑，他紧抓着手臂，翻滚到地上。而贺滋里看到这幕，嘴里含着血大叫，想要让身体从墙上下来，可是他的身体被完全紧贴在墙上，根本动弹不得。亨德列克低头看着伊尔斯，说道：“我就让你遵守骑士风范，听从君主的命令到最后一刻吧。让你和发誓同甘共苦的战友在一起。” 亨德列克话一说完，便挥了挥手，伊尔斯接着就飞了起来。伊尔斯一边胡乱蹬着，一边腾空飞越来，然后就被嵌在贺滋里的对面墙壁上，他们所在的那两面墙的中间正是有铁门的那面墙。两名骑士仿佛就像是刻在门的左右边的雕像。贺滋里一面喘气一面想要说话，可是亨德列克不理会他们两位骑士，径自走向那扇门。亨德列克用双手试着推了一下门，然后他踌躇了一下，说道：“有魔法？” 亨德列克转过头去瞪着紧贴在墙上的伊尔斯。而伊尔斯则是不顾手臂被烧掉的痛苦，还嘻嘻笑着说：“卑，卑鄙的……魔法，当然是有附着在、在门上喽。咳呵！对于疯狗，当然要用疯狗来、来对付……” 亨德列克努力强忍住想要一次扭断伊尔斯脖子的冲动。他紧握了一下拳头之后，盯着那扇铁门。他的嘴唇稍微动了几下，沉甸甸的铁门便立刻震动了起来。贺滋里的眼珠子简直都快要迸出来似的，他惊讶地看着铁门，数千磅重的铁门仿佛像是草笛般不停抖动着。 接着门那里就传来了一阵强烈的爆炸声。Rumble! （编按：草笛就是用树叶或草以嘴吹奏的天然乐器） “天啊……！” 紧贴在墙上的贺滋里发出呻吟声。那扇铁门到刚才不久前，都还横挡在亨德列克面前，而现在，它竟然就像一张纸那样被弄皱，而且乱七八糟地掉在地上。亨德列克就这样长驱直入地进到里面去了。 啪哒啪哒。 有火把零零星星地挂在墙上，投射出阴沉的火光。亨德列克带着可怕的眼神，一直盯着前方不断走去。他一边走，影子就随着他的脚步忽隐忽视，令人觉得眼花缭乱。 这是人类建造出来的地方。亨德列克环视周围之后，更加确信是这样。这并不是矮人所建造的，而是人类粗糙的技术。不过，虽然说是很粗糙，但这是和矮人的精致华丽的手法相较时的说法，事实上，这已经算是一座很壮观的建筑物了。然而，从什么时候人类开始有能力建设如此雄伟的地下建筑物呢？ 不久之后，亨德列克的前方出现了三岔路。 通往正面的那条路上，有一名骑士站着。当两人的距离缩减到十步左右时，对方便传出生硬但不失冷静的声音。 “我就知道是你。贺滋里和伊尔斯呢？” 问他问题的人是莱思伯克，他轻松地拄着一根像是很沉重的战戟站在那里。因为刚才亨德列克所引发出的骚动声音，就算不是矮人，也能听得十分清楚。亨德列克不作回答，继续往前走去。莱思伯克还是一动也不动地拄着战戟，站在那里瞪视正在接近他的亨德列克。两个男人之间一片寂静，只听得到亨德列克低沉的脚步声。就在这时候，“受死吧！” 一个像是火山爆发似的怪声传来，同时左边通道上猛然飞来了一把战斧。堪德里以平生最强的气势挥出了战斧，用老鹰般锐利的眼神精确瞄准了亨德列克的头部，挥砍过去。call out! 可是那把战斧却只是横越空中，碰撞到墙壁，迸出猛烈的火花。 堪德里一挥击到墙壁，便感觉手腕一阵碎裂的痛苦，并且跪倒在地。 而莱思伯克则是赶紧举起战戟，追踪如烟雾般消失不见的亨德列克。 他的眼睛非常仔细地检视整个通道，可是到处都看不到亨德列克的身影。此时，梅达洛为了要赶来扶住堪德里，从左边拿着流星锤奔跑过来，他瞄了一眼莱思伯克。莱恩伯克看到梅达洛的脸色发青。梅达洛尖叫着： “莱思伯克！” 莱恩伯克在这一瞬间察觉到是怎么一回事，而且整个人感觉毛骨悚然。他喊出无意义的尖叫声并且纵身一跳，但已经为时已晚，他发现纵身跳跃已是无任何作用了。俗话说：在死亡的前一刻，整个人生会在眼前掠过。那根本是胡说八道。boom!看来恐怕是连撞击的感觉也无法感受得到吧。 莱恩伯克出乎自己意料地倒在地上了。地面是确实存在的，所以身体碰撞到地上当然非常痛。可是莱思伯克迅速一个翻滚站起身子，他低矮地挥着战戟，并且稳住身体的重心，狠狠注视着自己所站着的地方。在那里，亨德列克正在慢慢地转过身体。 "stop!" 莱恩伯克处在连自己说什么都不知道的情况下，简短有力地说道。亨德列克立即停下了脚步。与其说他是因为听从这个命令句，倒不如说他是因为这声坚决的命令句，这是一句毫无不安与疑虑，甚至一点也不顾有权命令者之权威的命令句。他似乎是因为这句十全十美的命令才产生这种反射作用的。 亨德列克转过头去，就在此刻，堪德里一边破口大骂，一边丢出了战斧。 “呃呀啊啊！” 然而，颤抖的手臂所丢出的战斧，却飞向离目标非常远的地方。 而亨德列克则是一动也不动地盯着堪德里。亨德列克的下巴一移动，梅达洛原本把流星锤举到肩上的手臂便随即僵住了。梅达洛脸色惨白地看着亨德列克，正想要说话，但是说不出任何话来。此时，莱恩伯克说道：“你是周游过许多地方的人，就连野蛮人的这一招，你当然也有机会学到。你这招是不是南方野蛮人所使出的那种眼神招术？” “这叫做杀气。” “是吗？真是令人惊讶。我以前一直以为只有战士们才会这种招术。” “这是锻练过精神层面的人才会的技术。我国的战士当然很难做得到。不过，你打算要这样继续妨碍我吗？” “你请走吧。我们是无法阻挡得了你的。” “那么你们可以保证不会从后面攻击我吧？” 莱恩伯克看到堪德里不顾一切想冲过去，脸上便浮现出不高兴的表情。他一面呻吟着，一面阻挡住想要冲向前去的堪德里，并且冷静地说：“我们会秉持骑士精神，不会从后面攻击你的。” 亨德列克还是皱着眉头，只有嘴巴笑了出来。 “你们确实从一开始就不打算从后面攻击我。你们只是要把我困在这种黑暗发臭的老鼠洞里。” 梅达洛整个脸孔都皱在一起了。梅达洛是一个知道敬佩神圣，所以将骑士道升华为近乎神圣的骑士，因此，亨德列克这番话对梅达洛而言，简直是奇耻大辱。他听了之后低下头来。可是他的战友却把头抬起。在亨德列克转身的那一瞬间，堪德里口出秽言，并且甩开莱恩伯克的手臂，往前跑过去。 “亨德列……！” 可是尚未走完三步，堪德里就又再喊出惨叫声，摔倒在地了。 boom!莱思伯克喊出短短的一声尖叫声，可是亨德列克还是背对着他们，冷冰冰地说：“堪德里并没有死。堪德里身为骑士，现在应该是比死还更加痛苦不已吧。” 亨德列克就这样消失在通道的黑暗之中，而堪德里则是敲打着地板，喊出夹杂着泪水的高喊声。 "Gaah!" 在他旁边，莱恩伯克面带沉痛的表情，茫然地望着亨德列克消失的那条通道。 亨德列克一直往前走去。 啪嗒，啪嗒，啪塔。 响起了坚定同时带着柔和的脚步声。一个巨大的生物，即使巨大却还不失其敏捷与柔和的生物，它特有的轻柔但同时却又沉重的脚步声开始传来。过了不久之后，亨德列克的前方半空中随即出现了一对红色的眼睛。 红眼睛在至少高度五肘的地方闪烁着。而在眼睛下面，则是传出了细微的呼吸声。而且有一股非常臭的味道扑鼻而来。随即，那只生物就喊出一阵快让地下通道倒塌的怪声。 “呱啊啊啊啊啊！” 这阵咆哮声虽然只持续几秒钟，但是回声却一直回荡在整个通道上，久久才停下来。那只生物把黑色的两只手臂往左右张开，从张开的两只手里猛然冒出像匕首般的指甲。那些指甲刮着左右墙壁，迸出刺耳的摩擦声音及火花。嘎嘎嘎嘎！ “呱啊啊啊啊啊！” 那只生物立刻往前冲来。而亨德列克还是一径向前直直走去。 Crack! 通道上只剩下亨德列克一个人。和刚才不同的是，现在什么东西也没有了。亨德列克用始终如一的速度往前走去。 在他的正前方出现了一个装饰华丽的拱门柱，而下面则是一扇很壮观的门。亨德列克看着拱门的装饰，摇了摇头。人类，人类。就只有人类雕刻在上面。有一个拿着剑在咆哮的男子，以及被男子的手拉着的美女。还有踩死龙的战士和压制神的真理的贤者们的模样。 亨德列克用力将门推开。那是一扇既没有实际上锁，也没有用魔法锁住的门。那扇门往左右开启，发出一阵令人觉得不祥的碰撞响声。因为是在密闭的地下室，所以那声音简直让人震耳欲聋。 亨德列克以锐利的目光盯着房间里面。 房间里面的景象更是令人觉得啼笑皆非。四面的墙壁挂着华丽的壁毡。壁毡上画着一些令人想象不到的华丽图案。有挖掘土地的人类、征服大海的人类、在城塔上俯瞰大地的人类、奔跑于染血战场上的人类、歌颂人类的人类、赞美人类的人类、人类、人类、人类。 在所有装饰和雕刻里一定会出现的精灵、矮人、龙、妖精等，在这里完全都没有发现到他们的踪影。不对，是有龙出现。但那头龙是在青筋突起的战士拳头上，缩小到令人觉得可笑的程度，看起来简直像是长有翅膀的小狗般，战士一手抓着那头龙的脖子。龙长长地伸出舌头，瘫在那里，战士对于自己抓着这头惊人的战利品，并没有显露出任何冰冷的目光，而是看着前方在微笑着。而美女则是对那个战士投以赞赏的眼神。 亨德列克觉得头昏眼花地看着房间正中央。有一个草绿色的祭坛。本来应该是蓝色的绸缎，却在火把火光之下看起来像是不祥的草绿色。而在祭坛周围，有三人还有一名妖精。 站在祭坛前面的杰洛丁和查奈尔已经拔出剑来，站在那里看着门的方向。然后，祭坛后而则是站着那一位答应完成亨德列克的梦想，买走了亨德列克的人生的人。亨德列克喊着他的名字：“……路坦尼欧。” 杰洛丁和查奈尔所期待听到的字并没有紧跟着被说出来，他们随即露出惊慌的表情。他们立刻用愤怒的表情拿紧手上的剑。可是亨德列克根本不看他们的脸孔，他把目光从祭坛后面的男子——路坦尼欧·拜索斯的脸上转移到坐在祭坛一角的妖精身上。 “达兰妮安。” 达兰妮安的脸庞非常憔悴。以前总是像在衬托她背后的发亮翅膀消失之后，她的脸上就失去美容了。可是达兰妮安还是对亨德列克费力挤出丝微笑。 “你好，小亨。” 达兰妮安闭上嘴巴一阵子之后，又再无力地笑着说道：“我的魔法，竟然连你鞋子的鞋带都无法拉得住。” 亨德列克无法看达兰妮安的脸孔看得太久。他的目光转移到祭坛后面，被破坏掉的宝石全部散落在那里。 亨德列克往前踏了一步。与此同时，查奈尔干咳了几声。查奈尔是很斯文的海格摩尼亚族人，他从不把胁迫的话语或斥骂挂在嘴边，他这样已算是最大的胁迫了。亨德列克停下脚步注视查奈尔的那瞬间，路坦尼欧开口说话。 “把剑拿开。杰洛丁，查奈尔。” 查奈尔立刻顺从地收起剑来。可是杰洛丁却犹豫地说道：“我……” “把剑收起来。” 杰洛丁咬牙切齿。俗话说：和巫师交手的时候，就连眨眼的时间也要分秒必争。可是现在竟然要他把剑收起来！不过，杰洛丁还是慢慢地把剑收到剑鞘里。充满荣誉感的他，脸上带着自豪的表情。 亨德列克又再开始往前走过去。 亨德列克在祭坛前面停住脚步。 祭坛上面散着宝石的碎片。那些原本发出辉煌光芒的宝石全变成了碎片，如今看起来比微不足道的小石头还要不如。亨德列克慢慢地伸出手来捡起其中一块碎片。 周围的人各自用不同的神情默默地望着在凝视碎片的亨德列克。查奈尔用恭敬同时不可捉摸的眼神，像是在欣赏亨德列克的动作似的看着他。杰洛丁则是看起来像深怕漏掉亨德列克的每个动作，而瞪大眼睛在注视着他；达兰妮安用满是同情心的湿润眼睛抬头看亨德列克。然后路坦尼欧…… 他用疲惫但还是无法掩住兴奋的微微颤抖的声音，说道：“亨德列克。” “八星全部都毁了？” 亨德列克一面盯着碎片，一面说道。路坦尼欧紧闭着嘴巴，亨德列克随即抬头看路坦尼欧。他慢慢地弯起手指头，紧握住那块碎片，又再说道：“你们把八星全部都毁了吗？” “亨德列克。” 亨德列克猛然转过头去看达兰妮安。而达兰妮安则是淡淡地迎视他的目光。 “是你？” 达兰妮安只是用湿润的眼睛抬头看亨德列克，并不作回答。亨德列克抑制住突然想变得狂暴的心情，并且按捺住想把位在祭坛上面的达兰妮安抓起来的那股欲望，然后他再度问她：“是你帮他们的吗？” 达兰妮安慢慢地点头。 “是的。是我帮他们毁了八星的。虽然和你相比，我算是个蹩脚的巫师，但再怎么说，我也是个会使用玛那力量的人。” “你怎么会这么做呢？” 达兰妮安并没有答话。一直望着她的亨德列克渐渐皱起眉毛。 亨德列克忽然举起了拳头。 “怎么会！呃呃！” boom!亨德列克的拳头打在达兰妮安的正前方。杰洛丁被他的大喊声给吓得把手移到剑柄方向。杰洛丁紧抓住剑柄之后，才发现到查奈尔一动也不动地在看着他。他一面涨红着脸，一面放下剑柄。 亨德列克手拄着祭坛站在那里，低着头。他的头发垂到前面遮住了他的脸孔，但是他的肩膀却微微地在颤抖着，这是所有人，以及妖精的眼睛所看得一清二楚的事。这是一个男人看到人生最重要的目标被彻底摧毁时的悲哀。达兰妮安悲痛自己再也无法飞起来，不过，她还是用走的走过去抚摸了亨德列克的拳头。 达兰妮安坐在亨德列克的拳头前方，无力地将她的上半身搁在那颤抖的拳头上面。亨德列克低头看一眼趴在自己拳头上的达兰妮安，说道：“你怎么会做这种事……” 达兰妮安抬起小小的脸孔，仰望亨德列克暗沉的那张脸。他那张满布阴影的脸实在是非常地暗沉。达兰妮安打了一个寒噤之后，对他说：“我很清楚你想要那八星，小亨。你是多么……” “我刚才是问你为什么要做这种事。” 这是一句无比冷淡的问话。达兰妮安低下她的头。 “呃呜呜！” 达兰妮安突然间呜呜咽咽地抽泣着，又再趴到亨德列克的拳头上。 “对不起，小亨。对不起。” 亨德列克一边努力使自己的下巴不再颤抖，一边用双手捧起达兰妮安。亨德列克并着两只手掌，让达兰妮安坐定在上面，并且靠到他自己胸前。杰洛丁和查奈尔面带忧郁的表情，看着他那副模样，路坦尼欧则是转过头去不想看。 亨德列克看着在自己胸前抽泣着的妖精女王，他感受到胸口被撕裂的悲痛，说道：“达兰妮安。你是妖精的女王啊。妖精族的命运都掌握在你的……，你的手上啊。” 他差一点就说是掌握在'翅膀上'。亨德列克一面咬紧牙关，一面尽可能沉着地说话。 “你已经失去许多力量了。光是对你个人而言就已经是不幸，更何况是你们种族，这对你们整个种族更是个不幸。可是，为什么你要放弃掉可以让你们种族繁荣的力量呢？” 达兰妮安无法回答他。她在抽泣着，所以没办法回答。亨德列克感受到一股凄凉的感觉，他用手指尖温柔地抚慰达兰妮安的肩膀。 然后，他抬头看路坦尼欧。 “你怎么会做这种事呢？” 路坦尼欧用僵硬的表情和亨德列克相对视。亨德列克又再问了一次：“怎么会做出这种事呢？你破坏八星的理由到底是什么？为什么要放弃了人类？” “我不曾放弃过人类啊。” “那么，到底是为什么？为什么要破坏创造与新生、治愈恶势力与圆满欣喜、永远赐予我们具有至高无上的发展和爱的力量，你为什么要破坏这股力量！为什么要阻止我们走向可以成为神的路啊！” “八星也可能带给我们恐惧和压抑。神龙王是如何统治我们的，你难道忘了吗？” 亨德列克的脖子暴出青筋地喊道：“难道你会怕剑吗？” “我当然怕！” "What did you say?" 亨德列克看起来像是被当头棒喝似的看着路坦尼欧。而路坦尼欧则是微微笑着说道：“你没有握过剑，所以你当然不知道。剑士必须先从熟悉怕剑的感觉开始。这是为了防患未然，防止发生不可挽回的事，而必须怕剑。 不知道怕剑的人就不是战士了。就只能算是个拿刀剑的人而已。我倒是要问你，你会不会怕玛那？ " 虽然亨德列克直挺挺地站在那里，在他的精神层面上，则感觉像是膝盖被踢了一脚。路坦尼欧，是他，集结了那些在龙的压迫之下忘记明日意义而活下去的人类，最后终于把神龙王赶到北方去，是这个男子用了他的青春的，他很难对抗得了这个人的那股威严。然而，亨德列克还是咬紧牙关，说道：“虽然你说的没错，但是你自己却对你所说的话背信。剑士因为知道要怕剑而把剑佩在腰上！你竟然因为怕八星被滥用而破坏它们，这岂不是和怕剑而不佩带剑的剑士没有两样吗？” 路坦尼欧突然间动了一下身体。他把屁股斜搭在祭坛上，变成一副轻松的姿势。他用不缓不急的动作拨弄祭坛上散布的碎片，就像刚才不久前亨德列克的动作一样，他捡起了其中一块碎片。 路坦尼欧把碎片拿到眼前，一面注意观看着，一面说道：“因为八星的力量实在是太可怕了。” 亨德列克紧闭着嘴巴不说话了。虽然达兰妮安抓着他的胸口在抽泣时的小颤抖一直刺激到他的神经，但是亨德列克强忍住，并且看着路坦尼欧继续说话。 “为什么我们应该要拥有那种力量？我们可以自己发展啊！以我们的力量，一定可以开拓出我们的明日。我击退了神龙王，开启了人类的明日，这并没有靠八星的帮助啊！而且我的子孙们，还有人类的子孙们都必须自己开拓发展出人类的道路啊！不是靠八星的帮忙，而是靠他们的双手……” “胡说八道！” 路坦尼欧猛然抬起头来。亨德列克像是在吐出某种坚硬的东西似的，一字一句用力地说道：“靠人类的手？只是为了人类吗？你想要强迫全世界接受这巨大的人类神殿吗？” 亨德列克用一只手捧着达兰妮安，挥着另一只手，指着周围。路坦尼欧一直盯着亨德列克。 “在你那个小脑袋里，居然想要这整个世界，你想把世界当成像是自己的玩具？你想要随心所欲去丈量世界的尺寸？随心所欲地秤量世界的重量？随心所欲地标定世界的价值？靠你的力量？靠你的手？别开玩笑了！你好像认为你是靠自己的手击退神龙王，拯救人类的，天啊，我从未看到如此异想天开的人！” “亨德列克！” “请你闭嘴听我说！我不曾请求你回答我的话！” 路坦尼欧只好闭上了嘴巴。亨德列克像发疯似的大吼大叫着：“你到底拯救了什么东西！你只不过是把位于世界最顶端位置的神龙王给除去罢了！只是除去顶点，又不是改变了下面的构造！ 而且万一你自己打算登上那个位置，你等于是什么也没有改变！那长久的战争以及所流的血，全都白费了！ " 亨德列克又再指着散落在祭坛上面的碎片，喊道：“你的所做所为都只是同一件事，你只不过会毁灭而已！消灭，杀死，除掉！你因为神龙王统治我们，而把神龙王驱离！八星会让我们接近无限发展，可是你把它们都破坏掉了！破坏，破坏，破坏！你根本不懂得事物的生成与治愈。你只会消灭！你只是为了要将那些快把人窒息的现实给永远留下来！” “亨德列克，你太激动了……” 亨德列克大口喘了一口气，可是他都还没有调匀呼吸，就插入了路坦尼欧的话中。 “优比涅是手持秤杆，并不是手持刀剑啊。优比涅对于更大的恶，会施予更大的善，她并不会去消灭掉那股恶势力啊！可是你却只会毁灭而已。你这个连恶的价值也不知道的傻瓜！” “亨德列克，你！” “你这个天下无双的大笨蛋！你是不是以为破坏八星可以把可怜的八个种族永远从危险之中拯救出来？你以为八星可能会再落入像神龙王这类强者的手中，变成是压迫他们的道具。因此，你一定以为你这样做会受到八个种族永远的称颂吧？这真的是你这个愚蠢头脑才能想得到的！” “亨德列克，你如果再讲这种话，那我也无法再忍受下去了！” “我会再继续这样讲下去的，所以你自己判断是不是应该要仔细听而且忍下去！可是，我要警告你，还是忍下去会对你比较有利。你对神龙王所做的行动，我也可以用同样的方式对你。不，应该更加容易才是！因为你并不是神龙王！” 路坦尼欧的脸上只是僵住而已，但是杰洛丁的脸孔却已经变得苍白了。路坦尼欧大王是因为亨德列克的帮助，才好不容易得以将神龙王驱赶到北方。可是亨德列克恐怕只要动一根手指头，就能除去路坦尼欧大王，占有这个国家。杰洛丁又再一次开始慢慢地把手移向剑柄。一个像发疯似的激动讲话的巫师，无论他是多厉害的大法师，都应该会无法抵挡住战士的攻击。杰洛丁开始在预想一个很惨的结果。可是素有训练的手和他的苦恼毫无关联地，在地下的昏暗之中像蛇般移动，紧握住剑柄。 亨德列克吼道：“为什么！为什么要背叛我！” 路坦尼欧的脸皱了起来。他一只手拄着祭坛，另一只手按着额头，并且用压抑的声音说道：“这不是对你背信啊。纠正朋友的过错是友谊，放任不管才是背叛。你以前的想法太天真了。” “是吗？你是这样认为的吗？那么为什么以前都没有指正我的错误呢？为什么一直到神龙王被打倒、拜索斯建国，都放任不管，现在才要来指正我的错误呢？你是想要利用我？那么那分友谊可真是好用啊！需要的时候就表现出来，不需要的时候就可以不表现出来，你我之间就是这种友谊吗？” 路坦尼欧露出难过的表情。不管怎么说，他对于利用亨德列克的这项指责，似乎是无话可说。 当时研究过神龙王的神秘统治的年轻巫师亨德列克发现了件事。他发现到神在离开地面之前，赐予留在地面上的种族最后的礼物是那八颗星。那虽然是以微弱的证据和在他的思考跳跃之中所产生的一个假设，但是亨德列克以年轻人特有的大胆鲁莽，深信他自己的这个假设是对的。他认为这八星是神龙王统治支配的根据。神龙王虽然拥有强大的力量和令人恐惧的能力，但是能够圆满支配地面上的所有种族，这并不是以他个人的力量和恐怖所能达成的。八星才是他统治支配的神秘之处。 年轻的理想主义者亨德列克简直快发疯了。因为他发现到这八星是神的最后礼物，是留在地面上的种族们可以成为神的最后机会。 只要有八星在手中，就可以让所有种族发展到无法想象的繁荣、幸福和互相了解。只要有八星在手中，就连精灵和矮人，也会从此不再反目成仇。甚至连半兽人都可能成为人类的朋友！八星可以实现所有事情。因为它可以左右其种族的价值观与明日。 然而，光是以他的力量是无法从神龙王那里抢夺到八星的。不过，令人意外的，就在那个时候，他在中部大道的旅途中经历了那次著名的会面，也就是一天之中遇到路坦尼欧三次，当时路坦尼欧是决了要去见后来被称为八星骑士之中的乌塔克和查奈尔，而正往返于中部大道。第三次见面的时候，路坦尼欧开始对亨德列克推心置腹。 亨德列克对于支配与被支配的关系并没有什么概念。亨德列克与其说是因为支配，倒不如说是因为神龙王把可以让其他种族互相了解、消弭仇恨、发展繁荣的力量用为自己的支配工具，因此憎恨神龙王。而路坦尼欧则是因为神龙
"Shh! Be quiet!" "Huh? Huh, what's the matter?" I pulled Shan Sen aside, asking him to stand in the shadow of the building I was hiding from.Shan Sen said in a daze, "What's going on, Xiu Qi?" "Look there." After Shan Sen saw where my hand was pointing at, he lowered his voice naturally. "Huh? Hassler and Ebolyn?" "Yeah. Be quiet!" Shan Sen is also starting to imitate me now.I mean he imitated me in the shadow of the shed, and then pressed my back against the wall and stood like a corpse.Shan Sen and I stood side by side looking at Aibo Lin and Hassler. The shed we're staying tonight is number 1-4... Medley Ridge, I can't remember the number.In any case, the hut was on the top of the cliff, and now Hassler and Abeline were sitting on the very edge of the cliff, facing the moonlight.The father and daughter didn't say anything, just looked down at the bottom of the cliff.Maybe they were talking quietly, but I couldn't hear their voices.As for Shan Sen, he only approached when I was hiding here watching them. In front of my eyes was a ridge and peaks, against the background of the dark night sky, they were illuminated by the moonlight in the distance, shining white like bones.Hoo hoo hoo.The wind blowing into the mountains skimmed the bottom of the cliff, breathing out a moan like a whimper.The winter mountains in winter nights, the word cold is not enough to describe their multiple feelings.Thick clouds floated, covering the moonlight for a while, and revealing the moonlight for a while.And there's a strong wind blowing here... Maybe it might rain. Suddenly, Hassler raised his arms.He seemed to want to put his arms around Abeline's shoulders. But Aibo Lin turned sideways slightly in a daze, and immediately, Hassler's half-raised arm dropped powerlessly.I couldn't help but froze anxiously, but in the end I made a loud noise, and I quickly shut my mouth.uh uh!I almost bit my tongue. Shan Sen was next to me to see the scene with me, he leaned his body to my side, and whispered to me: "Hey, when will they start..., uh!" "Ann, be quiet! What's the matter with you?" After covering his own mouth in fright, Shan Sen said in a nervous voice: "Something has been hitting my ass..." "It's me. Get your ass out of my face!" After Shan Sen got out of the way in fright, he said, "Isaihand? Have you been hiding here since just now?" Ai Saihande muttered with a dissatisfied tone.At this time, another voice came. "He's been here thirty minutes." When Shan Sen heard Wen Chai's voice, he was startled again, and he turned to look beside me.Wen Chai stood in the shadow beside me, showing his teeth slightly and smiling. Shan Sen said in disbelief: "Huh? You've been here too? How many people are hiding here in this shadow?" "What? I don't know either. I just found out that Ai Saihande is here." As soon as Shan Sen heard Nelia's answer, he was stunned and speechless.Huh?Had even Nelia been here all this time?I looked up and saw the low roof of the hut—with large, thick, flat eaves built to withstand the strong winds in the mountains—from which I could see a pair of feet dangling back and forth.Uh.Has she been sitting there? "Everyone, please don't talk." Ouch!It was Carl who was whispering.I looked to the side and Carl was looking out with his arm propped on the window frame of the shed.He even put his finger straight in front of his mouth as soon as he saw me.After the six spies confirmed each other's existence, we quietly observed the father and daughter again. crunch! Uh ah ah!I almost passed out.The door of the shed was suddenly opened, and something white suddenly jumped out forward.It was something like a white cloth that flew up against the night wind, and under the white cloth were Gerent's feet.Then the white cloth said in Gerente's voice, "You two! It's so cold. It's fine for you two to have some father-daughter affection, but please at least cover this first!" Gerent walked towards Hassler and Ebolyn, and said with a grin.He handed the quilt in his hand to Hasler, but Hasler didn't say anything.Gerent shrugged immediately, and put the quilt on Abeline's shoulders. Shan Sen, who was standing beside me, let out a sound of almost dying breath.I took a deep breath and whispered, "Shansen..., did something fall by your feet?" "Ok?" "I mean my heart." "Ah, that's the one I stepped on just now?" While the two of us were going back and forth with this nonsense gossip, Ebolyn thanked Gerente. "Thank you, Gerente." "No, you're welcome. Hahaha! You must have a lot to say. But it's cold at night, please come in quickly." After Gerente said this, he folded his arms and turned around.When he came trembling, he found us standing stiffly against the side wall of the shed.Gerent opened his eyes wide. "Huh? What are you doing here...?" At this moment, the actions of each of us are simply dumbfounding.Shan Sen moved his mouth like a goldfish's mouth, and shook his hands frantically from side to side, while Esaihand raised his arms high and kept shaking them.Wen Chai raised his eyebrows, covered his mouth with his hands, and made a humming sound; Karl hurried into the window, but fell down, and there was a bang and Karl's groan.Gerente looked at us with a mocking expression, and said very laboriously: "...What? Please tell me, you mountains!" Uh!The guardian of the secret agent, Gerent, shouted with great enthusiasm: "Please tell me, O stars! O wind! What are you doing here? After the creation of the world, you continue to exist here, and you must use your eyes silently. Seen many things. Tell me now, then! Hahaha! Miss Ebolyn! What a good night, isn't it? It's prayer! It's faith!" Aibo Lin looked back at Gerente with blank eyes, but before she could say anything, Gerente walked into the shed with a smile like someone who had a typhoid fever.Wow haha!boom! Just as the door was closing, the movements of the six spies froze. For a while we didn't even dare to breathe, just stood there.Fortunately, neither Ebolyn nor Hassler noticed anything, and they returned to the way they were just now. "Uh uh uh.... I'm about to pass out. This is not going to work. Let's go in quietly." When I heard Shan Sen's words, I gave a negative answer. "If Hassler and Ebolyn escape like this, what should we do?" "Huh? Uh, well. If Hassler wants to escape, where can he escape?" Carl quietly poked his head out of the window again, and when he heard Shan Sen's words, he showed a very interested expression.Shan Sen looked at the father and daughter who were far away on the cliff, then pulled the hair hanging down his forehead, and said, "It would be better if they just escaped like this." Suddenly, only the sound of night filled the surroundings of the shed.Only then did Shan Sen realize that everyone was paying attention, and he felt the need to explain more about what he said. "Well, Ebolyn has found her father, and Hassler has found her daughter, hasn't she? They escape like this, and without anyone knowing, the two of them can live happily ever after... Well, this way everyone will be happy. " "Shansen, Shansen, you are right, it's really cool!" "Yeah, it bothers me!" Shan Sen muttered to himself in a triumphant voice.Nelia, who had been listening to us all the time, laughed a few times, stretched the trident down and stuck it on the ground, and then slipped down along the trident.Really great!Nelia leaned back against the window and whispered into Carl's ear, who was sticking his head out of the window: "Can't we part ways with them early tomorrow morning, Uncle Carl?" "You mean Mr. Hassler and Miss Ebolyn?" "Yes. Well..., I will come up with some money, a sum of money that is enough for the two of them to start again. Hasler is a famous swordsman, so it should be safe wherever he goes. If you let them The two left quietly, which is very good, very good." "Well, Miss Nelia, you seem to be thinking wrong. As far as I am concerned, if the two of them want to leave, I have no right to restrict them, do I? Hassler is not our prisoner. So that is Their freedom. And Miss Nelia, you said that you want to help, this is actually your freedom." Nelia showed an embarrassed expression when she heard Carl's calm statement.Ok. When I think about it now, Hassler can be said to be in a rare situation.Hassler is Nix's 'leave it alone' subordinate.In other words, they have broken away from the master-slave relationship, and we don't seem to have the right to arrest him.Of course, if it comes down to it, Hassler is the King's enemy, and therefore our public enemy... Wen Chai clearly pointed out this point. "He's a rebel, isn't he?" Wen Chai's words came from the darkness, like a mountain wind blowing towards the shadows.It was a low but fierce and terrifying sound.After looking at the two of them with a thoughtful expression, Karl said: "Although it is said that the thief can be tied to the gallows, there is no way to bring back the hammer or crowbar that the thief used to steal things. law, isn't it?" Nelia suddenly giggled.She must have thought of the hammer dangling on the gallows.However, Wen Chai didn't smile at all, he said: "Hassler...is not a prop. He obeys Nex's words with free will." "Let's ask him." "what?"
The entire shed is a huge building, but the interior is divided into rooms by several walls.The room we used was a resting room for travelers, and there was no special furniture in it except some beds covered with hay, a small table, and a fireplace.There are only a few nails on the wall and a shelf to hang or put luggage on, that's all in the room. Their stockpile of hay (to feed the horses in the sheds in the winter) seemed to be pretty good, so the troopers put in fresh hay for our beds. Ghisien asked them not to give him special treatment because he was a prince, but the captain of the mounted police said that this is what all travelers should be treated in winter, which made Ghisien a little embarrassed. In any case, Renee and Ebolyn fell asleep on the hay, which Ghisien found embarrassing.They chose a bed closest to the fireplace, leaned against each other, and fell asleep with tired expressions.Nelia, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in front of the fireplace, after she looked up at the faces of the two young girls.He turned his head to look at Hassler sitting in front of the table. Hassler was staring at Aiboline with tired eyes.On the other side of the table, Karl was sitting there. He looked at Hassler, and then at Ebolyn. Except for Ghisien who went to ask the captain of the mounted police about the movements of the refugees passing through the Central Avenue, others sat with their legs dangling beside the bed, and some leaned against the wall. We all looked at the two people sitting at the table. Carl spoke: "Mr. Hassler, did you have a good chat with Lingmei?" Hassler was a little embarrassed, but still kept his mouth shut. Karl scratched his chin first, and soon after, Karl said again: "Not long ago, I saw the two of you coming in, and they seemed to be very friendly... ..." Just now Hassler put his arms around Ebolyn's shoulders, and Eboline leaned on Hasler's waist. They walked into the shed like this.According to Carl, although that appearance can be described as a harmonious feeling, Ebolyn immediately lay down on the bed in silence as soon as she entered the shed, and Hassler just looked at her daughter quietly, and then Sit down at the table.From then until now, that pose. "Is this considered a harmonious relationship?" Hasler still had a stiff mouth this time, which made Karl panic.I saw Alvnaid suddenly smile, and when I turned around, I saw Gerent cheering up Karl.Gerent waved his arms and said with his mouth: 'He is very quiet, so don't feel discouraged!Karl!This person must need help!You try again! 'I saw his excited face and quickly covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing out loud. Maybe it was because Gelent encouraged Karl, or maybe because he thought of something else to say, so Karl said, "By the way, Mr. Hassler, what do you plan to do in the future? Your boss at the same time It was also your friend, Captain of the Guard, Jonathan Alvned, who told me..." "Is the captain all right?" Karl was taken aback by Hassler's sudden question. "Huh? Ah, he's fine. Although he looks like he's worried about you and Ling Ai. Anyway, he told me that he hopes you and Miss Ebolyn can find a place where they can live in peace and live there. He said that your misfortune should not even be borne by you, you should rediscover the happiness you haven't enjoyed for too long." Hassler lowered his head and shook it from side to side several times.Although it was a slow, small movement, it was a heavy movement filled with an atmosphere of despair. After a while, Hassler still lowered his head, and he said: "People can't live like the storyline." "Well...'They lived happily ever after...' That's my favorite ending to the story, and I think it's possible." "Do you want me to give my daughter the life of a fugitive?" "...you were a rebel and probably spent the rest of your life escaping justice. No, I should say I think that's the way to go. You're a great fighter, though, and the western part of the continent is still undeveloped. It's no different in the Wild Lands of Twilight. I don't think you'll have to worry about being hunted if you escape to the homeland of Twilight." "And what about my daughter's future?" "What Lingmei needs is her father. For now, there should be nothing greater than this gift that can be given to Miss Aiboline. Miss Aiboline's future is her responsibility. And when she needs to worry In the future, many years should have passed. Time will give people the gift of forgetting, which is the same for everyone.Mr. Hassler, your business will gradually be forgotten. " Karl seemed to have exhausted all his strength in order to speak these few short sentences, and closed his mouth again.Carl rested his arms on the table, and after looking at Hassler for a moment, he sighed and leaned back in his chair.He folded his hands on his breast, and said: "And what are you going to do, Mr. Hassler?" Hassler didn't answer, but Nelia's eyes began to lift upwards.Nelia was still sitting on the fur blanket in front of the fireplace, tucking her legs under her knees, and said in this posture: "Excuse me, what are you thinking now? Are you trying to help Nirvana?" To help Max to the end, to help him flourish after the successful rebellion, and to make Ebolyn a noble lady, well, if you think so, I advise you to give up this idea." Hasler looked at Nelia with melancholy eyes.Nelia put her legs to the left and right, put her hands on her knees, and said, "Except for you, everyone else knows that Nex is hopeless now. That idiot Jake is also very aware of this fact, Isn't it?" When Nelia said Jake's name, I felt a tremor in her voice. But the trembling disappeared as soon as it appeared, and Nelia continued to say in a crisp voice: "Also, Ebolyn doesn't care if she can be a noble lady. If she stays at Harshtel's house all the time, huh , although I will be very unhappy in my heart, but after all, she is a young lady of the Hushtel family. She should marry a good family, and she will even be called a noble lady in the future. But Ebolyn escaped from there , isn't it? You are her father, so you should understand your daughter's heart!" I felt a thud go through my chest.Calvin's elegant mouth would never say such frank words, and Nelia's words made me feel very refreshed.Hasler looked at Nelia without any change in expression, but his eyes began to blink slightly. Nelia stood up suddenly and walked to the bed.Nelia pointed at Ebolyn lying on the bed with one finger, while Hassler's face seemed to be seeing a gorgon, showing a sense of rigid fear.Nelia pointed to the sleeping Aibo Lin, and said: "Your daughter, what she cares about is not a father who is a man of the times or a great rebel, what she wants is a father who can call him Dad .Don't you understand what I'm talking about?" Hasler's head shook slightly from side to side.He understood what Nelia meant.Then, Nelia put her hands on her hips and said, "So, what's the problem? Although your face has undergone plastic surgery, Aibo Lin recognizes this father. When you spoke just now, Aibo Lynn recognized you, do you remember that? Now, even this is not a problem. You hide in a quiet place, calm your mind, and do your due responsibilities. Do Good Ebolyn's father's duty! Duty!" The word 'responsibility' that came out of Nelia's mouth seemed to be floating in mid-air with a form.So, for a while, no one spoke, and a period of silence passed. Hassler struggled to speak: "I am a man who has long since given up being a father. I ran away because of coercion, and handed over my daughter because of that vile desire." "Then you can change it back!" Nelia's answer came in the blink of an eye.But Hasler's answer became even slower. "I know what you mean...but I can't leave my master alone." "Excuse me, do you mean Nex Shulizhe?" Gerent interrupted suddenly, causing Nelia to shut her mouth when she was about to shout.Hasler looked at Gerente with tired eyes, while Gerente tilted his head and said doubtfully: "What? Are you mistaking yourself for Master Harshtel from three hundred years ago?" No matter where the master is, he must always be followed and served as the master...is that what you mean?" "Please don't compare me to that knight fool!" This is the first time I've seen Hasler so angry since I've known him.Although his voice was deep, it was so intense that Gerente's mouth froze instantly. Gerent opened his mouth wide and looked at Hassler, who stared at the table with a frowning expression. After a while, Carl said cautiously: "But as far as I know, your master wants you to leave him." "I know that. But loyalty is my business, and obedience is my business." Carl looked at Hassler's frowning forehead and said, "Why did you follow him like that? He made an agreement with you to fulfill your wish. What is the wish?" When Hassler suddenly raised his head, I saw his piercing eyes and couldn't help but take a deep breath.He gritted his teeth and said, "It's Harshtel's downfall. Let his blood run off without a drop, completely destroyed!" It took Carl a long time to speak again.Hassler's extreme anger even affected the unworried dwarf beater Isaihand, who was stunned and stared at Hassler with a pale expression.Carl said, "I... if I said I understand your anger, I'd be talking nonsense." Hassler looked at Carl with piercing eyes.While avoiding his gaze, Karl said in an awkward voice: "I heard from Lord Alvned... about your wife. It's only natural that you would hate Harshtel. It's very natural. thing." "You said it was a matter of course, but you actually couldn't understand the words that came out of your own mouth. You just said that you couldn't understand my anger..." "……yes." "Shall I tell you how I feel?" Hasler suddenly glared at the bed.Huh?Why was he staring at Eboline and Renee like that all of a sudden... Renee?Hasler stood up from the chair, pointed at Renee, and said in a fearsome voice: "That girl should be Harshtel's daughter, right?" At this moment, Nelia's face turned blue.She ran quickly to the side of the bunk, out of the way of Ebolyn and Renee.After Hasler glared at Nelia, he took a step forward, and Nelia looked up at Hasler with a pale face in fright.She bit her lower lip tightly, opened her arms left and right, and sparks burst out from Hasler's eyes.At this moment, "Stop!" Wen Chai had been standing motionless against the wall since just now, and it seemed that only his mouth was still alive in his body parts.Wen Chai did not move at all as he leaned against the wall, but glared at Hassler blankly, and said, "Don't try to act rashly!" Hasler looked at Wenchai as if seeing something very rare. "When I want to do this, do you think you can stop me?" But Wen Chai still had that expressionless face.Only his mouth was still moving alone on his face. "I heard your nickname is 'Hot Sword Gran'." The moment he spoke, a vicious and grim smile emerged from his lips. "Those stupid bears in the north call you that, I don't necessarily agree with it." Hassler burst out laughing.He sat in front of the table, without even looking at Wen Chai, and said, "Your whims are too time-consuming. Because, I don't want to do anything at all right now." Who took a long breath?If it wasn't Alfred, it might be Shan Sen who was sitting next to him.My long breath of relief was too loud, so I couldn't hear other people's long sighs.While sitting at the table, Hassler said to Carl: "I can't even see that girl lying with my daughter now, I can't stand it." "Rei, Miss Renee is not at fault at all..." What sounded like words came out of Karl's trembling mouth with difficulty.Hasler didn't answer, but Karl bit his lip and took a deep breath.After falling into a sense of terror that did not emanate from a human being, Nelia was finally freed. She began to sob, and Wenchai saw her like that.frowned.Just when Alvned was clumsily trying to comfort her, Hasler said, "That's right. As long as they bear the name of Harshtel, I want to kill them all. I Just thinking about what he did to my family makes me hate his family so much, it's no surprise." "But...but what are you going to do? Your hatred can only destroy your own life. No matter how hard you try to struggle, you can't do anything to the Marquis. And even if it's Nex, in the current situation You can't deal with the Marquis. You should think about the reality, shouldn't you?" "If I had thought of reality at that time, I wouldn't have participated in the rebellion!" Carl's mouth froze.Hasler said, as if breathing out flames: "I will let Harshtel end his vile life at my feet. I will definitely do it." "Can't you forgive him?" A calm voice suddenly came.I turned my head and saw that there was Alvned who had been clumsily comforting Nelia since just now.He still only looked at Nelia, but he was indeed the one who said this.Hassler said, "You want me to forgive him?" Alvned touched Nelia's shoulder a little, then stood up slowly.He turned quietly to Hassler.After meeting Hasler's burning gaze, he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes." "Why should you forgive him?" "I've only accepted forgiveness from others, and I've never forgiven anyone, so I can't tell you exactly what... But why do people say Ubinie's pole is straight?" Alvnaid's calm tone brought Hassler back to his usual reticence.Alfred first showed a distressed expression, then he pointed at Gerent and said, "Ask Gerent." "Huh? Huh? Me?" All eyes were on him, and Gerente immediately replied in a flustered tone.Alvnaid nodded and said: "I don't know if this is a very unpleasant memory for you, but Nex Xiulizhe once wanted to kill you, do you remember?" uh, huh?correct!In the Great Labyrinth, Gerent was almost killed by Nex.If there is no Dragon King, he should be dead.Gerent opened his eyes wide and said, "Ah, that incident... Of course I still remember it. Because it was a very unique and difficult experience. Haha." "I suppose so. But this evening you showed no sign of anger against him." This time, all the eyes that were different from before were focused on Jay Lun.Geraint scratched the back of his head, and Alvned smiled. "You don't look like you can forgive him." "Yes... If you insist on saying that, well, that's right." "How can you do it? I mean, he's the one who tried to kill you." Everyone thought it was amazing to watch Gerente.Gerent laughed like a fool, and said: "Because I have a noble and compassionate character. Well, Ai Saihande. It's not good to laugh like that when others are talking. Please don't do that, Okay? Ah, thanks. Well, yeah, would it be okay if I said there's no need to hate in particular?" "Priest, please explain." Alfred said solemnly.This made Geraint show a panicked expression.Gerent scratched the back of his head again, and said, "Well, that's because I saw his changed appearance." "What will he look like after the change?" "Yes. Although God will bless us, we are not gods ourselves. We are human, so we make mistakes and sin. But we know we will change, don't we? We have a short life span, but in fact It's a very long life, Isaihand! I didn't mean to ask you not to laugh like that! Well, in such a long time, there is plenty of time to change, so we will forgive each other. This is the greatest relationship between God and man. point of difference." "The biggest point of difference?" "Yes. God can't change it, but human beings can." The room was suddenly filled with a sense of calm.Would the immortal gods envy us?Will God who cannot change yearn for us? "God is infinite and unchanging. If it can change, it is not a god. But people can change. And when we face other people, we must remember that the other person is a human being who will know how to change. Well, I With this explanation, everyone can understand.” "Of course I understand. Thank you priest." Alfred still said solemnly, while Gerent smiled with a panicked expression.Alvnaid looked at Hassler again. Hasler looked at the table with a heavy expression, and said, "You mean, you hope Harshtel will change his mind?" "is it hard?" Hasler looked up slowly.He looked at everyone in the room.Except for Wen Chai, everyone else had to turn their heads away because of his piercing eyes. Hassler raised his hands, brushed his hair back slowly, and trembled like a frog dropped into the water. "Even my master forgives you." Hassler shook his head after saying so in a hoarse voice. "But even my master can't forgive Byzos and Harshtel." Karl asked with a serious expression: "Your master...why do you hate Byzos and Harshtel so much, can you tell us? What does this have to do with the eight stars your master heard about?" "Relationship? Everything started with Eight Stars and Lutanio's Magic Autumn!" With a calm expression, Hassler began to tell the story.We were all drawn into his stories one by one.
blah blah blah. Hendrick ran down the stairs with astonishing momentum.At this moment, although he felt a temptation to ignore the stairs and use the space teleportation technique to go straight down, he still resisted and walked to the basement with only two legs.Hendrick wanted the opponent to block him, because that way he could justify his attack.On the other hand, he also wondered if they could really stand against him, Hendrick. The dank, cold air from the basement rushed up, making white smoke come out of his mouth. After Hendrick walked up the stairs, he saw a huge iron door.In front of the iron gate, stood two knights - Ilse and He Zili were guarding the gate. "Stop, who are you?" Ilse and Hezri moved quickly, rushed towards the person walking down the stairs, and each drew their swords.However, the intruder just stood quietly, so He Zili lifted up the lantern resting on the floor.Through the light of the lantern, Hendrick's indifferent face appeared, and He Zili couldn't help moaning in disbelief. "Lord Hendrick? No, why did you come here..." Hendrick kept his mouth shut.Ilse and He Zili stood in front of the door, obviously, they must have something to hide from him.Hendrick let out a suppressed voice from his lips: "You two are doing goalkeeper work, so, what is behind this door?" He Zili avoided Hendrick's sight with a panicked expression.But Ilse still maintained the posture of pointing the sword directly at Hendrick's heart, and said coldly: "Please go back, Hendrick." "You have to give me three reasons why I must do this." "I'm not in the mood to joke with you, and the circumstances don't allow us to. No one invited you here. Please go back." Hendrick said sharply: "Although no one asked me to come, no one told me not to come. No, I should correct this sentence. If anyone dares to tell me not to come, I will get rid of this person. "Ils's sword tail shook a few times.This was not caused by the sense of fear, but because of the advanced swordsmanship that he naturally showed when he made up his mind, and dazzled the opponent's gaze by skillfully shaking the tail of the sword.He really deserves to be a well-trained fighter Ilse.Now he's going to 'kill Hendrick'. Seeing this situation, He Zili said in a panicked tone: "Master Hendrick! Although we know that doing this will make you feel very unhappy, we are following the order of the king, and no one is allowed to stay here. People go in. Your Majesty will not even block you, but we can't interpret His Majesty's order with our own ideas. So, please be sure to go back. " He Zili opened his arms left and right, and said sincerely and kindly.However, Hendrick still had a grim expression on his face. "As the great Lord Ilse said just now, I'm not in the mood for jokes right now, and the circumstances won't allow me to. I'll have to see what you're doing in there! You're putting your swords back in their scabbards before you die , or do you want to die with the sword in your hand?" These vicious words made He Zili open his mouth in surprise, and Ilse rushed towards him with a fierce shout. "Yeah!" Ilse's sword pierced Hendrick's heart with terrifying speed.But at the next moment, Ilse's sword disappeared to nowhere, and because he lost his center of gravity, his knee suddenly hit the ground. "Wooah!" 贺滋里喊出难以区分出是尖叫声还是用力出招的声音，并且冲向亨德列克，可是在下一瞬间，他的身体却在半空中停住了。然后下一秒钟，贺滋里就头朝地下，往墙壁方向飞了过去。 "Ahhh!" boom!贺滋里撞击到墙壁，连惨叫声都还来不及喊出，就只是瞠目结舌地瞪着前方。可能是因为他咬到舌头，所以从嘴里流出了一条细细的血柱。刚才倒在地上的伊尔斯见状，破口大骂着拔出匕首，想要去刺亨德列克，可是在下一瞬间，他却叫出了像是肺腑被撕裂开的惨叫声。 “呃呃啊啊啊！我，我的手臂！哇啊啊！” 伊尔斯连手肘也烧得焦黑，他紧抓着手臂，翻滚到地上。而贺滋里看到这幕，嘴里含着血大叫，想要让身体从墙上下来，可是他的身体被完全紧贴在墙上，根本动弹不得。亨德列克低头看着伊尔斯，说道：“我就让你遵守骑士风范，听从君主的命令到最后一刻吧。让你和发誓同甘共苦的战友在一起。” 亨德列克话一说完，便挥了挥手，伊尔斯接着就飞了起来。伊尔斯一边胡乱蹬着，一边腾空飞越来，然后就被嵌在贺滋里的对面墙壁上，他们所在的那两面墙的中间正是有铁门的那面墙。两名骑士仿佛就像是刻在门的左右边的雕像。贺滋里一面喘气一面想要说话，可是亨德列克不理会他们两位骑士，径自走向那扇门。亨德列克用双手试着推了一下门，然后他踌躇了一下，说道：“有魔法？” 亨德列克转过头去瞪着紧贴在墙上的伊尔斯。而伊尔斯则是不顾手臂被烧掉的痛苦，还嘻嘻笑着说：“卑，卑鄙的……魔法，当然是有附着在、在门上喽。咳呵！对于疯狗，当然要用疯狗来、来对付……” 亨德列克努力强忍住想要一次扭断伊尔斯脖子的冲动。他紧握了一下拳头之后，盯着那扇铁门。他的嘴唇稍微动了几下，沉甸甸的铁门便立刻震动了起来。贺滋里的眼珠子简直都快要迸出来似的，他惊讶地看着铁门，数千磅重的铁门仿佛像是草笛般不停抖动着。 接着门那里就传来了一阵强烈的爆炸声。Rumble! （编按：草笛就是用树叶或草以嘴吹奏的天然乐器） “天啊……！” 紧贴在墙上的贺滋里发出呻吟声。那扇铁门到刚才不久前，都还横挡在亨德列克面前，而现在，它竟然就像一张纸那样被弄皱，而且乱七八糟地掉在地上。亨德列克就这样长驱直入地进到里面去了。 啪哒啪哒。 有火把零零星星地挂在墙上，投射出阴沉的火光。亨德列克带着可怕的眼神，一直盯着前方不断走去。他一边走，影子就随着他的脚步忽隐忽视，令人觉得眼花缭乱。 这是人类建造出来的地方。亨德列克环视周围之后，更加确信是这样。这并不是矮人所建造的，而是人类粗糙的技术。不过，虽然说是很粗糙，但这是和矮人的精致华丽的手法相较时的说法，事实上，这已经算是一座很壮观的建筑物了。然而，从什么时候人类开始有能力建设如此雄伟的地下建筑物呢？ 不久之后，亨德列克的前方出现了三岔路。 通往正面的那条路上，有一名骑士站着。当两人的距离缩减到十步左右时，对方便传出生硬但不失冷静的声音。 “我就知道是你。贺滋里和伊尔斯呢？” 问他问题的人是莱思伯克，他轻松地拄着一根像是很沉重的战戟站在那里。因为刚才亨德列克所引发出的骚动声音，就算不是矮人，也能听得十分清楚。亨德列克不作回答，继续往前走去。莱思伯克还是一动也不动地拄着战戟，站在那里瞪视正在接近他的亨德列克。两个男人之间一片寂静，只听得到亨德列克低沉的脚步声。就在这时候，“受死吧！” 一个像是火山爆发似的怪声传来，同时左边通道上猛然飞来了一把战斧。堪德里以平生最强的气势挥出了战斧，用老鹰般锐利的眼神精确瞄准了亨德列克的头部，挥砍过去。call out! 可是那把战斧却只是横越空中，碰撞到墙壁，迸出猛烈的火花。 堪德里一挥击到墙壁，便感觉手腕一阵碎裂的痛苦，并且跪倒在地。 而莱思伯克则是赶紧举起战戟，追踪如烟雾般消失不见的亨德列克。 他的眼睛非常仔细地检视整个通道，可是到处都看不到亨德列克的身影。此时，梅达洛为了要赶来扶住堪德里，从左边拿着流星锤奔跑过来，他瞄了一眼莱思伯克。莱恩伯克看到梅达洛的脸色发青。梅达洛尖叫着： “莱思伯克！” 莱恩伯克在这一瞬间察觉到是怎么一回事，而且整个人感觉毛骨悚然。他喊出无意义的尖叫声并且纵身一跳，但已经为时已晚，他发现纵身跳跃已是无任何作用了。俗话说：在死亡的前一刻，整个人生会在眼前掠过。那根本是胡说八道。boom!看来恐怕是连撞击的感觉也无法感受得到吧。 莱恩伯克出乎自己意料地倒在地上了。地面是确实存在的，所以身体碰撞到地上当然非常痛。可是莱思伯克迅速一个翻滚站起身子，他低矮地挥着战戟，并且稳住身体的重心，狠狠注视着自己所站着的地方。在那里，亨德列克正在慢慢地转过身体。 "stop!" 莱恩伯克处在连自己说什么都不知道的情况下，简短有力地说道。亨德列克立即停下了脚步。与其说他是因为听从这个命令句，倒不如说他是因为这声坚决的命令句，这是一句毫无不安与疑虑，甚至一点也不顾有权命令者之权威的命令句。他似乎是因为这句十全十美的命令才产生这种反射作用的。 亨德列克转过头去，就在此刻，堪德里一边破口大骂，一边丢出了战斧。 “呃呀啊啊！” 然而，颤抖的手臂所丢出的战斧，却飞向离目标非常远的地方。 而亨德列克则是一动也不动地盯着堪德里。亨德列克的下巴一移动，梅达洛原本把流星锤举到肩上的手臂便随即僵住了。梅达洛脸色惨白地看着亨德列克，正想要说话，但是说不出任何话来。此时，莱恩伯克说道：“你是周游过许多地方的人，就连野蛮人的这一招，你当然也有机会学到。你这招是不是南方野蛮人所使出的那种眼神招术？” “这叫做杀气。” “是吗？真是令人惊讶。我以前一直以为只有战士们才会这种招术。” “这是锻练过精神层面的人才会的技术。我国的战士当然很难做得到。不过，你打算要这样继续妨碍我吗？” “你请走吧。我们是无法阻挡得了你的。” “那么你们可以保证不会从后面攻击我吧？” 莱恩伯克看到堪德里不顾一切想冲过去，脸上便浮现出不高兴的表情。他一面呻吟着，一面阻挡住想要冲向前去的堪德里，并且冷静地说：“我们会秉持骑士精神，不会从后面攻击你的。” 亨德列克还是皱着眉头，只有嘴巴笑了出来。 “你们确实从一开始就不打算从后面攻击我。你们只是要把我困在这种黑暗发臭的老鼠洞里。” 梅达洛整个脸孔都皱在一起了。梅达洛是一个知道敬佩神圣，所以将骑士道升华为近乎神圣的骑士，因此，亨德列克这番话对梅达洛而言，简直是奇耻大辱。他听了之后低下头来。可是他的战友却把头抬起。在亨德列克转身的那一瞬间，堪德里口出秽言，并且甩开莱恩伯克的手臂，往前跑过去。 “亨德列……！” 可是尚未走完三步，堪德里就又再喊出惨叫声，摔倒在地了。 boom!莱思伯克喊出短短的一声尖叫声，可是亨德列克还是背对着他们，冷冰冰地说：“堪德里并没有死。堪德里身为骑士，现在应该是比死还更加痛苦不已吧。” 亨德列克就这样消失在通道的黑暗之中，而堪德里则是敲打着地板，喊出夹杂着泪水的高喊声。 "Gaah!" 在他旁边，莱恩伯克面带沉痛的表情，茫然地望着亨德列克消失的那条通道。 亨德列克一直往前走去。 啪嗒，啪嗒，啪塔。 响起了坚定同时带着柔和的脚步声。一个巨大的生物，即使巨大却还不失其敏捷与柔和的生物，它特有的轻柔但同时却又沉重的脚步声开始传来。过了不久之后，亨德列克的前方半空中随即出现了一对红色的眼睛。 红眼睛在至少高度五肘的地方闪烁着。而在眼睛下面，则是传出了细微的呼吸声。而且有一股非常臭的味道扑鼻而来。随即，那只生物就喊出一阵快让地下通道倒塌的怪声。 “呱啊啊啊啊啊！” 这阵咆哮声虽然只持续几秒钟，但是回声却一直回荡在整个通道上，久久才停下来。那只生物把黑色的两只手臂往左右张开，从张开的两只手里猛然冒出像匕首般的指甲。那些指甲刮着左右墙壁，迸出刺耳的摩擦声音及火花。嘎嘎嘎嘎！ “呱啊啊啊啊啊！” 那只生物立刻往前冲来。而亨德列克还是一径向前直直走去。 Crack! 通道上只剩下亨德列克一个人。和刚才不同的是，现在什么东西也没有了。亨德列克用始终如一的速度往前走去。 在他的正前方出现了一个装饰华丽的拱门柱，而下面则是一扇很壮观的门。亨德列克看着拱门的装饰，摇了摇头。人类，人类。就只有人类雕刻在上面。有一个拿着剑在咆哮的男子，以及被男子的手拉着的美女。还有踩死龙的战士和压制神的真理的贤者们的模样。 亨德列克用力将门推开。那是一扇既没有实际上锁，也没有用魔法锁住的门。那扇门往左右开启，发出一阵令人觉得不祥的碰撞响声。因为是在密闭的地下室，所以那声音简直让人震耳欲聋。 亨德列克以锐利的目光盯着房间里面。 房间里面的景象更是令人觉得啼笑皆非。四面的墙壁挂着华丽的壁毡。壁毡上画着一些令人想象不到的华丽图案。有挖掘土地的人类、征服大海的人类、在城塔上俯瞰大地的人类、奔跑于染血战场上的人类、歌颂人类的人类、赞美人类的人类、人类、人类、人类。 在所有装饰和雕刻里一定会出现的精灵、矮人、龙、妖精等，在这里完全都没有发现到他们的踪影。不对，是有龙出现。但那头龙是在青筋突起的战士拳头上，缩小到令人觉得可笑的程度，看起来简直像是长有翅膀的小狗般，战士一手抓着那头龙的脖子。龙长长地伸出舌头，瘫在那里，战士对于自己抓着这头惊人的战利品，并没有显露出任何冰冷的目光，而是看着前方在微笑着。而美女则是对那个战士投以赞赏的眼神。 亨德列克觉得头昏眼花地看着房间正中央。有一个草绿色的祭坛。本来应该是蓝色的绸缎，却在火把火光之下看起来像是不祥的草绿色。而在祭坛周围，有三人还有一名妖精。 站在祭坛前面的杰洛丁和查奈尔已经拔出剑来，站在那里看着门的方向。然后，祭坛后而则是站着那一位答应完成亨德列克的梦想，买走了亨德列克的人生的人。亨德列克喊着他的名字：“……路坦尼欧。” 杰洛丁和查奈尔所期待听到的字并没有紧跟着被说出来，他们随即露出惊慌的表情。他们立刻用愤怒的表情拿紧手上的剑。可是亨德列克根本不看他们的脸孔，他把目光从祭坛后面的男子——路坦尼欧·拜索斯的脸上转移到坐在祭坛一角的妖精身上。 “达兰妮安。” 达兰妮安的脸庞非常憔悴。以前总是像在衬托她背后的发亮翅膀消失之后，她的脸上就失去美容了。可是达兰妮安还是对亨德列克费力挤出丝微笑。 “你好，小亨。” 达兰妮安闭上嘴巴一阵子之后，又再无力地笑着说道：“我的魔法，竟然连你鞋子的鞋带都无法拉得住。” 亨德列克无法看达兰妮安的脸孔看得太久。他的目光转移到祭坛后面，被破坏掉的宝石全部散落在那里。 亨德列克往前踏了一步。与此同时，查奈尔干咳了几声。查奈尔是很斯文的海格摩尼亚族人，他从不把胁迫的话语或斥骂挂在嘴边，他这样已算是最大的胁迫了。亨德列克停下脚步注视查奈尔的那瞬间，路坦尼欧开口说话。 “把剑拿开。杰洛丁，查奈尔。” 查奈尔立刻顺从地收起剑来。可是杰洛丁却犹豫地说道：“我……” “把剑收起来。” 杰洛丁咬牙切齿。俗话说：和巫师交手的时候，就连眨眼的时间也要分秒必争。可是现在竟然要他把剑收起来！不过，杰洛丁还是慢慢地把剑收到剑鞘里。充满荣誉感的他，脸上带着自豪的表情。 亨德列克又再开始往前走过去。 亨德列克在祭坛前面停住脚步。 祭坛上面散着宝石的碎片。那些原本发出辉煌光芒的宝石全变成了碎片，如今看起来比微不足道的小石头还要不如。亨德列克慢慢地伸出手来捡起其中一块碎片。 周围的人各自用不同的神情默默地望着在凝视碎片的亨德列克。查奈尔用恭敬同时不可捉摸的眼神，像是在欣赏亨德列克的动作似的看着他。杰洛丁则是看起来像深怕漏掉亨德列克的每个动作，而瞪大眼睛在注视着他；达兰妮安用满是同情心的湿润眼睛抬头看亨德列克。然后路坦尼欧…… 他用疲惫但还是无法掩住兴奋的微微颤抖的声音，说道：“亨德列克。” “八星全部都毁了？” 亨德列克一面盯着碎片，一面说道。路坦尼欧紧闭着嘴巴，亨德列克随即抬头看路坦尼欧。他慢慢地弯起手指头，紧握住那块碎片，又再说道：“你们把八星全部都毁了吗？” “亨德列克。” 亨德列克猛然转过头去看达兰妮安。而达兰妮安则是淡淡地迎视他的目光。 “是你？” 达兰妮安只是用湿润的眼睛抬头看亨德列克，并不作回答。亨德列克抑制住突然想变得狂暴的心情，并且按捺住想把位在祭坛上面的达兰妮安抓起来的那股欲望，然后他再度问她：“是你帮他们的吗？” 达兰妮安慢慢地点头。 “是的。是我帮他们毁了八星的。虽然和你相比，我算是个蹩脚的巫师，但再怎么说，我也是个会使用玛那力量的人。” “你怎么会这么做呢？” 达兰妮安并没有答话。一直望着她的亨德列克渐渐皱起眉毛。 亨德列克忽然举起了拳头。 “怎么会！呃呃！” boom!亨德列克的拳头打在达兰妮安的正前方。杰洛丁被他的大喊声给吓得把手移到剑柄方向。杰洛丁紧抓住剑柄之后，才发现到查奈尔一动也不动地在看着他。他一面涨红着脸，一面放下剑柄。 亨德列克手拄着祭坛站在那里，低着头。他的头发垂到前面遮住了他的脸孔，但是他的肩膀却微微地在颤抖着，这是所有人，以及妖精的眼睛所看得一清二楚的事。这是一个男人看到人生最重要的目标被彻底摧毁时的悲哀。达兰妮安悲痛自己再也无法飞起来，不过，她还是用走的走过去抚摸了亨德列克的拳头。 达兰妮安坐在亨德列克的拳头前方，无力地将她的上半身搁在那颤抖的拳头上面。亨德列克低头看一眼趴在自己拳头上的达兰妮安，说道：“你怎么会做这种事……” 达兰妮安抬起小小的脸孔，仰望亨德列克暗沉的那张脸。他那张满布阴影的脸实在是非常地暗沉。达兰妮安打了一个寒噤之后，对他说：“我很清楚你想要那八星，小亨。你是多么……” “我刚才是问你为什么要做这种事。” 这是一句无比冷淡的问话。达兰妮安低下她的头。 “呃呜呜！” 达兰妮安突然间呜呜咽咽地抽泣着，又再趴到亨德列克的拳头上。 “对不起，小亨。对不起。” 亨德列克一边努力使自己的下巴不再颤抖，一边用双手捧起达兰妮安。亨德列克并着两只手掌，让达兰妮安坐定在上面，并且靠到他自己胸前。杰洛丁和查奈尔面带忧郁的表情，看着他那副模样，路坦尼欧则是转过头去不想看。 亨德列克看着在自己胸前抽泣着的妖精女王，他感受到胸口被撕裂的悲痛，说道：“达兰妮安。你是妖精的女王啊。妖精族的命运都掌握在你的……，你的手上啊。” 他差一点就说是掌握在'翅膀上'。亨德列克一面咬紧牙关，一面尽可能沉着地说话。 “你已经失去许多力量了。光是对你个人而言就已经是不幸，更何况是你们种族，这对你们整个种族更是个不幸。可是，为什么你要放弃掉可以让你们种族繁荣的力量呢？” 达兰妮安无法回答他。她在抽泣着，所以没办法回答。亨德列克感受到一股凄凉的感觉，他用手指尖温柔地抚慰达兰妮安的肩膀。 然后，他抬头看路坦尼欧。 “你怎么会做这种事呢？” 路坦尼欧用僵硬的表情和亨德列克相对视。亨德列克又再问了一次：“怎么会做出这种事呢？你破坏八星的理由到底是什么？为什么要放弃了人类？” “我不曾放弃过人类啊。” “那么，到底是为什么？为什么要破坏创造与新生、治愈恶势力与圆满欣喜、永远赐予我们具有至高无上的发展和爱的力量，你为什么要破坏这股力量！为什么要阻止我们走向可以成为神的路啊！” “八星也可能带给我们恐惧和压抑。神龙王是如何统治我们的，你难道忘了吗？” 亨德列克的脖子暴出青筋地喊道：“难道你会怕剑吗？” “我当然怕！” "What did you say?" 亨德列克看起来像是被当头棒喝似的看着路坦尼欧。而路坦尼欧则是微微笑着说道：“你没有握过剑，所以你当然不知道。剑士必须先从熟悉怕剑的感觉开始。这是为了防患未然，防止发生不可挽回的事，而必须怕剑。 不知道怕剑的人就不是战士了。就只能算是个拿刀剑的人而已。我倒是要问你，你会不会怕玛那？ " 虽然亨德列克直挺挺地站在那里，在他的精神层面上，则感觉像是膝盖被踢了一脚。路坦尼欧，是他，集结了那些在龙的压迫之下忘记明日意义而活下去的人类，最后终于把神龙王赶到北方去，是这个男子用了他的青春的，他很难对抗得了这个人的那股威严。然而，亨德列克还是咬紧牙关，说道：“虽然你说的没错，但是你自己却对你所说的话背信。剑士因为知道要怕剑而把剑佩在腰上！你竟然因为怕八星被滥用而破坏它们，这岂不是和怕剑而不佩带剑的剑士没有两样吗？” 路坦尼欧突然间动了一下身体。他把屁股斜搭在祭坛上，变成一副轻松的姿势。他用不缓不急的动作拨弄祭坛上散布的碎片，就像刚才不久前亨德列克的动作一样，他捡起了其中一块碎片。 路坦尼欧把碎片拿到眼前，一面注意观看着，一面说道：“因为八星的力量实在是太可怕了。” 亨德列克紧闭着嘴巴不说话了。虽然达兰妮安抓着他的胸口在抽泣时的小颤抖一直刺激到他的神经，但是亨德列克强忍住，并且看着路坦尼欧继续说话。 “为什么我们应该要拥有那种力量？我们可以自己发展啊！以我们的力量，一定可以开拓出我们的明日。我击退了神龙王，开启了人类的明日，这并没有靠八星的帮助啊！而且我的子孙们，还有人类的子孙们都必须自己开拓发展出人类的道路啊！不是靠八星的帮忙，而是靠他们的双手……” “胡说八道！” 路坦尼欧猛然抬起头来。亨德列克像是在吐出某种坚硬的东西似的，一字一句用力地说道：“靠人类的手？只是为了人类吗？你想要强迫全世界接受这巨大的人类神殿吗？” 亨德列克用一只手捧着达兰妮安，挥着另一只手，指着周围。路坦尼欧一直盯着亨德列克。 “在你那个小脑袋里，居然想要这整个世界，你想把世界当成像是自己的玩具？你想要随心所欲去丈量世界的尺寸？随心所欲地秤量世界的重量？随心所欲地标定世界的价值？靠你的力量？靠你的手？别开玩笑了！你好像认为你是靠自己的手击退神龙王，拯救人类的，天啊，我从未看到如此异想天开的人！” “亨德列克！” “请你闭嘴听我说！我不曾请求你回答我的话！” 路坦尼欧只好闭上了嘴巴。亨德列克像发疯似的大吼大叫着：“你到底拯救了什么东西！你只不过是把位于世界最顶端位置的神龙王给除去罢了！只是除去顶点，又不是改变了下面的构造！ 而且万一你自己打算登上那个位置，你等于是什么也没有改变！那长久的战争以及所流的血，全都白费了！ " 亨德列克又再指着散落在祭坛上面的碎片，喊道：“你的所做所为都只是同一件事，你只不过会毁灭而已！消灭，杀死，除掉！你因为神龙王统治我们，而把神龙王驱离！八星会让我们接近无限发展，可是你把它们都破坏掉了！破坏，破坏，破坏！你根本不懂得事物的生成与治愈。你只会消灭！你只是为了要将那些快把人窒息的现实给永远留下来！” “亨德列克，你太激动了……” 亨德列克大口喘了一口气，可是他都还没有调匀呼吸，就插入了路坦尼欧的话中。 “优比涅是手持秤杆，并不是手持刀剑啊。优比涅对于更大的恶，会施予更大的善，她并不会去消灭掉那股恶势力啊！可是你却只会毁灭而已。你这个连恶的价值也不知道的傻瓜！” “亨德列克，你！” “你这个天下无双的大笨蛋！你是不是以为破坏八星可以把可怜的八个种族永远从危险之中拯救出来？你以为八星可能会再落入像神龙王这类强者的手中，变成是压迫他们的道具。因此，你一定以为你这样做会受到八个种族永远的称颂吧？这真的是你这个愚蠢头脑才能想得到的！” “亨德列克，你如果再讲这种话，那我也无法再忍受下去了！” “我会再继续这样讲下去的，所以你自己判断是不是应该要仔细听而且忍下去！可是，我要警告你，还是忍下去会对你比较有利。你对神龙王所做的行动，我也可以用同样的方式对你。不，应该更加容易才是！因为你并不是神龙王！” 路坦尼欧的脸上只是僵住而已，但是杰洛丁的脸孔却已经变得苍白了。路坦尼欧大王是因为亨德列克的帮助，才好不容易得以将神龙王驱赶到北方。可是亨德列克恐怕只要动一根手指头，就能除去路坦尼欧大王，占有这个国家。杰洛丁又再一次开始慢慢地把手移向剑柄。一个像发疯似的激动讲话的巫师，无论他是多厉害的大法师，都应该会无法抵挡住战士的攻击。杰洛丁开始在预想一个很惨的结果。可是素有训练的手和他的苦恼毫无关联地，在地下的昏暗之中像蛇般移动，紧握住剑柄。 亨德列克吼道：“为什么！为什么要背叛我！” 路坦尼欧的脸皱了起来。他一只手拄着祭坛，另一只手按着额头，并且用压抑的声音说道：“这不是对你背信啊。纠正朋友的过错是友谊，放任不管才是背叛。你以前的想法太天真了。” “是吗？你是这样认为的吗？那么为什么以前都没有指正我的错误呢？为什么一直到神龙王被打倒、拜索斯建国，都放任不管，现在才要来指正我的错误呢？你是想要利用我？那么那分友谊可真是好用啊！需要的时候就表现出来，不需要的时候就可以不表现出来，你我之间就是这种友谊吗？” 路坦尼欧露出难过的表情。不管怎么说，他对于利用亨德列克的这项指责，似乎是无话可说。 当时研究过神龙王的神秘统治的年轻巫师亨德列克发现了件事。他发现到神在离开地面之前，赐予留在地面上的种族最后的礼物是那八颗星。那虽然是以微弱的证据和在他的思考跳跃之中所产生的一个假设，但是亨德列克以年轻人特有的大胆鲁莽，深信他自己的这个假设是对的。他认为这八星是神龙王统治支配的根据。神龙王虽然拥有强大的力量和令人恐惧的能力，但是能够圆满支配地面上的所有种族，这并不是以他个人的力量和恐怖所能达成的。八星才是他统治支配的神秘之处。 年轻的理想主义者亨德列克简直快发疯了。因为他发现到这八星是神的最后礼物，是留在地面上的种族们可以成为神的最后机会。 只要有八星在手中，就可以让所有种族发展到无法想象的繁荣、幸福和互相了解。只要有八星在手中，就连精灵和矮人，也会从此不再反目成仇。甚至连半兽人都可能成为人类的朋友！八星可以实现所有事情。因为它可以左右其种族的价值观与明日。 然而，光是以他的力量是无法从神龙王那里抢夺到八星的。不过，令人意外的，就在那个时候，他在中部大道的旅途中经历了那次著名的会面，也就是一天之中遇到路坦尼欧三次，当时路坦尼欧是决了要去见后来被称为八星骑士之中的乌塔克和查奈尔，而正往返于中部大道。第三次见面的时候，路坦尼欧开始对亨德列克推心置腹。 亨德列克对于支配与被支配的关系并没有什么概念。亨德列克与其说是因为支配，倒不如说是因为神龙王把可以让其他种族互相了解、消弭仇恨、发展繁荣的力量用为自己的支配工具，因此憎恨神龙王。而路坦尼欧则是因为神龙
