The husky turned around and looked at Arthur subtly: "He's been looking over here."
"Whatever, let him see...it doesn't matter."
Arthur said without looking back: "That guy just likes to be nosy."
"Mr. Hector is obviously also a member of the Burning Tooth family - you can tell from the special effects of his eyes and the smell of sulfur around him."
Longjing Tea analyzed in a low voice: "I think he may know Mr. Arthur... and the relationship should be pretty good."
Hearing this, Arthur suddenly stopped.
Because he was in the front row of the team - as soon as Arthur stopped, the entire team stopped.
His expression was obviously a little complicated.
After hesitating for several times, Arthur finally spoke and asked Longjing Tea softly: "How can you tell this?"
"When he called your name before, he smiled very naturally. And I noticed that at that time, the corners of your mouth also moved subconsciously, as if you wanted to smile out of habit."
Longjing Tea shrugged: "And the words he started to say hello to you... Seriously, it was actually a little offensive to your personality. If it wasn't a joke between good friends, then it must have come from enemies.
provocative.
"But I looked at it and you didn't show any objection to that sentence. So I judge that you two should be good friends."
"...Longjing tea, right."
Arthur looked at him deeply, and then continued walking forward.
He turned his face slightly: "If you were born in the United Kingdom, you would definitely become an excellent extraordinary detective."
Arthur paused and closed his eyes slightly.
It seemed like he was reminiscing about something.
"He is indeed my friend...if we go by seniority, he is actually my brother-in-law.
"Because of me...my father died early. After my father died, the first person who came to comfort me was Hector."
Arthur said slowly: "Of course, I don't dare to really believe him.
"Because not long before that, I was almost murdered by my second uncle - the reason why I was 'almost' was because Uncle Hector saved me. This is why I dared to do it after my father was murdered by the tribe.
The reason for meeting him.
"But at that time, I no longer dared to trust anyone. At the same time, in order to protect him, I avoided contact with him again. Until I later joined the Lava Forbidden Tower and became a student of the tower master, I
Just met him again...
"It was then that I learned that he had been the mentor of the Lava Forbidden Tower from the very beginning. When I was in the Lava Forbidden Tower, there were not many people of the same sex who were willing to play with me... Hector was one. Although he carried it with him every day
I went to drink, and I actually don’t like drinking very much..."
The corners of Arthur's mouth raised slightly.
His voice was unexpectedly calm, completely devoid of his usual arrogance and complacency. When he talked about these things, he felt a little nostalgic.
But Husky suddenly added: "But I see that you... seem a little guilty towards Uncle He?"
Hearing this, Arthur's right fingertips trembled slightly.
He was a little surprised and turned around: "Can this be seen?"
Arthur did not deny it, but shook his head slightly: "This matter is actually related to the captain..."
"——I am no longer your captain, Arthur."
Selicia, who had been at the end of the team and remained silent, appeared behind Arthur at some point.
She said helplessly: "The current 'Silver' has nothing to do with me... In other words, I have got rid of the curse given to me by 'Silver' and successfully reached the other side of my wish."
"Is it really?"
Ofishi suddenly said: "But I don't think you are happy."
"Having your wish fulfilled and being able to live happily every day are two different things."
Selicia sighed: "Fulfilling your wish does not mean you have solved all the difficulties in life, it only means you have accomplished the goal you must do...that's all.
"If we want to talk about whether we are happy or not, whether we are happy or not... the stable life now is definitely not as happy as taking risks on the ship."
"Then, why don't you..."
"——But," Selicia interrupted Offee's words, "if I had to choose again, I would still live this life. Rather than being happy or unhappy, what I am thinking about now is, what should I do?
What... and what can I do.
"So don't say those words...Ophelia."
Selicia sighed: "I don't want to reject you."
Ofishi was interrupted mid-sentence, but she just frowned and stared at Selicia.
"That's it, Ophelia."
At this moment, Arthur on the side sneered: "People don't live for their own happiness...especially when 'your own life does not belong to you'. If you are just a civilian, or
Ordinary extraordinary beings, that's it.
"But like Selicia, like me, like you - we are all carrying something. What we represent is not just us... we are marching towards the golden land for more people.
of.
"That's why...I don't think you are worthy of being king."
Arthur looked back at Orpheus deeply: "Because you are too free."
Husky immediately felt that these two people were going to quarrel again.
But this time Orpheus did not refute Arthur.
He glanced at Selicia, seemed to be touched, and fell into thinking.
Seeing this, the corners of Annan's mouth raised slightly.
Sure enough.
As he expected... asking Arthur to say a hundred words would not be as useful as asking Selicia to say one.
Of all the crew members on the treasure ship "Silver", Ofice is actually the only one who truly fell in love with Selicia and regarded her as his soul mate. So when Selicia chooses freedom, Office will also choose
free……
But now, with the help of Annan, Selicia's wish has been fulfilled. The motivation that supported her wandering around has disappeared.
It's like a young person in their twenties playing around all day long, but one day they suddenly got tired of playing, had an epiphany, and decided to come back and live a down-to-earth life. What she is doing now is to atone for her past self -
But she is really only good at killing, so now, she can only choose to be Annan's bodyguard.
Naturally, this cannot be such a happy and carefree life.
But it is what Celicia thinks...is the life that is most suitable for her.
When her wish was fulfilled, Celicia felt that she... seemed to have finally grown up.
It's just that this growth came a little late.
The group was speechless after that.
It wasn't until they arrived at the crater that they saw that there was an obsidian suspension bridge spiraling downward between the chains hanging around.
The suspension bridge is even a little warm when you step on it.
And this spiral downward suspension bridge is even very wobbly when you step on it. And the stone slabs under your feet are not wide. If you are not careful, you will fall into the volcano. The steaming water is constantly rising from below.
The heat can even make your eyes blurry and sore, making it difficult to see the road.
The husky was so frightened that he hugged Arthur's shoulders next to him, using Arthur's body as a support point, and the whole weight of his body hung on it - although it was not too heavy.
Even so, she still felt a little weak in her legs.
…Isn’t she from Winter?
And feeling that the husky was not afraid of the difference between men and women, Arthur also looked helpless.
But he didn't say anything - nor did he directly put his arm around the Husky's waist like he did in his exchange with Selicia.
Arthur just tightened his grip on the armrest, and held the Husky's right shoulder with his right hand, walking more steadily.
He was ready to use his hand to pull her back at any time.
At the back of the team, Shi Sanxiang's face also became extremely pale.
He originally wanted to hold Annan's shoulder, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Isaac took it over in a daze. This was better, at least Isaac seemed to give people a stronger sense of security.
"Are you... afraid of heights?"
Longjing Cha's expression was a little strange: "Are you afraid of heights or just timid?"
"I...I can't come either..."
Shi Sanxiang's voice even trembled for a moment, but he kept saying something more, seeming to distract himself: "Maybe I'm afraid of heights, but I've never been so strong before.
The fear... is it because there is hot air below that is constantly steaming me? Or is it because it is the first time I stand so high without a baffle? Or is it because I know that if I fall, I will be melted by the lava? Although even if I fall,
He won’t really die, but don’t panic anyway. I’ll look for the option to turn off the pain first…”
He kept mumbling incessantly, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
Although the road looked scary, luckily they didn't have to go too far.
About 600 meters in diameter - walk down three times and reach a platform. From here, there is a bridge that leads directly to the middle part of the lava forbidden tower... It seems that after receiving a notification from Hector outside, the gate has been
It was opened, and two wizards in golden and red robes stood at the door with serious faces, like two door gods.
"——Please come in, everyone. I already know your purpose."
It is different from the concept of "Wizard of Destruction" which gives people a sense of danger.
That was the voice belonging to the tower owner.
A rational and gentle voice came from the container held by one of them: "If possible, I hope Miss Husky can come to see me first. I am on the 18th floor, and you can take the elevator down.
"It's no problem for other people to come together, and they can also go around. I've marked them as tourists. Except for the negative 18th floor, the second floor to the positive 17th floor are all passable areas."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The elements of light flowed in his eyes.
A mere box cannot block Annan's sight.
He saw it clearly——
In that small box... there is no sound-producing device.
What’s inside is...
It is a handful of ashes that is constantly "humming".
