"Me, me?" Being suddenly summoned, the surprise on young Ivan's face has not completely subsided, replaced by a burst of uneasiness and doubt: "Why me?"
"Don't you boast that you have shot down seagulls two miles away with your rifle? So I thought it would be useful to go hunting if I took you with me." Arthur lied without changing his expression.
"But it's okay if the target is a seagull, but if the target is a beast..."
"The first two shots are aimed at the eyes, the third shot is aimed at the legs, and the last shot is aimed at the throat or between the eyebrows." Arthur gestured as if he had really hunted, "We are all like this when hunting. We deal with lions, tigers and
Universal for all bears."
"But... was it that smooth?" Ivan, who had never had any hunting experience, was beautifully deceived by Arthur's sweet words.
"If it fails, it's just close combat. We'll handle this. It'll be fine." Kai also joined the ranks of liars. Although he kept covering up, there was still an evil smile on his face like a naughty boy.
"Okay, okay...I'll pack my luggage and I can set off with you tomorrow." Ivan didn't see the flaw in the other person's face at all. He was invited by the knights to go hunting, and he was still a little flattered."
The shotgun hasn't been used for a long time and it will take some time to recalibrate it."
"Oh, don't worry about that, we will be ready. You just need to bring yourself." Arthur continued to trick people.
"But, if you are not used to using a shotgun, you will..."
"It doesn't matter. You can even use the dragon cannon. What's the point of using a shotgun if you're not used to it? You'll get used to it immediately after touching it." Kai also tried his best to trick people, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Arthur quickly bumped Kai with his elbow, fearing that Kai would reveal his flaws by speaking nonsense: "Well, see you tomorrow, kid."
"Okay. (Mutter in a low voice) See you tomorrow." Ivan saw all this, but did not understand the real intention of the knights. He thought that the knights were just teasing him, and they might start hunting tomorrow.
things are forgotten.
He watched Arthur and Kay leave the lighthouse.
"Huhuhu, Arthur is such a big liar." Kai sneered as soon as he walked away, "What about hunting? You didn't tell him that you were going to hunt dragons, so you just tricked him into going. Do you want to kill that kid?"
"He will not be in danger. If you tell him that you are going to hunt a dragon, he will definitely tremble all night, and we will really take him to death tomorrow."
"What nonsense. Forget it, it's useless to tell you. No one can change your decision." Kai shrugged nonchalantly, "I just hope you really have a reasonable strategy. Just because you are not afraid of death, doesn't mean that everyone else is."
We are not afraid of death just like you. The human heart is much more fragile than you think."
"I will pay attention." Arthur replied casually, thoughtfully.
late at night.
Ivan raised his shotgun and aimed at a seagull, and fired. The light bullet drew an arc in the dark night, and hit the seagull on the head before it completely weakened. The seagull was startled, and its flight movements were messed up.
, plunged into the water in a very ridiculous posture.
"Hehehehe." The young man smiled to himself. Only at this moment could he show a relaxed smile.
"It's true, the seagull just now was a mile away from here." A voice said behind the boy.
"Wow!" Ivan was startled and turned around, it turned out to be Arthur, "What, is it the Lord Knight? Don't scare me."
"Don't always call me [Lord Knight], [Lord Knight]," Arthur said with a look of annoyance, "Just call me Arthur."
"How is this possible? How can a humble person like me call the Lord Knight by his first name..."
"Well, I won't take you hunting tomorrow, kid." Arthur threatened.
"But...well, Arthur...big------"
Before Ivan could finish saying the word "Sir", he received a heavy punch from Arthur on the top of his head.
"You boy with a short memory." Arthur retracted his fist and said coldly.
"Ugh... Arthur... Arthur, why did you come to me so late?" Ivan asked, covering his head.
"Before, I only invited you to go hunting and completely forgot to ask about another thing - about Breath of the Sky."
"Oh, are you talking about that kind of flower?" Ivan thought of this and his eyes drifted up: "Yes, it happened before, just by the lake on a nearby island."
"Is it far?"
"It's about five nautical miles from here." Ivan replied without thinking.
"About? You've never been there?" Arthur questioned.
"Why have I been there?" The boy asked strangely, "I have been working at the lighthouse since I came to the Knights of the West and I have almost never left. I only see that island occasionally."
Arthur discovered the inconsistent part of Ivan's words and immediately frowned: "See? Do you know what you are talking about? ------You can see from here the lake on an island five nautical miles away.
Flower?! You just saw it and said that’s the kind of flower we’re looking for?”
Ivan panicked: "That...isn't it the same as what you described? The petals are white, and the petals close to the core are blue, and the core is yellow on the outside and green on the inside... What else? Zigzag
Shape-shaped leaves and spiky stems?"
"We didn't mention the serrated leaves and burr flower stems. But this guy was right, what he saw was indeed the breath of the sky." The red dragon evil star flew down from the top of the lighthouse.
"What are you eavesdropping on, rude fellow." Arthur rolled his eyes at the little red dragon.
"No, I just heard the gunfire and came over to take a look, and happened to hear what you were talking about." The little red dragon justified his explanation.
"Oh, it's really [just right]." Arthur said doubtfully.
The evil star was exposed and couldn't help but get angry: "Well...well, I do care about it, so I followed. Is this okay?"
"Do you care about...me?" Ivan felt flattered for once.
The red dragon narrowed his eyes into two slits and looked at Ivan carefully: "There is a small amount of strange inherent photons in your body. You may have the blood of some kind of photon creature. If it does not come from your knight father, then you can only
It comes from your prostitute mother. All in all, your mother should be a descendant of photon creatures. With such good eyesight, the only possibility is that she is an elf."
"Elf? You mean the...elf with pointed ears?" the young man Ivan asked doubtfully.
"Elves are just legends." Arthur waved his hand disapprovingly.
"More than 10,000 years ago, when I was still a kid, elves did exist." The evil star sneered at Arthur's stupidity. "The elves found the door to other dimensions, and they came from the human world."
completely disappeared. They are the originators of time and space magic. It is not surprising at all that they can do this. It is said that the other dimension [Elf Township] where the elves live - the Pure Land of Elison, is a place where the body never ages.
An ideal habitat with endless energy, mountains of food, and warmth like spring all year round is a perfect time and space created by distorting the laws of the world. If there is a paradise in the world, it must be that place."
"Oh, you know it in detail. Do dragons actually care about that kind of immortal paradise?" Arthur asked tentatively.
"Me? No, I'm not curious." Evil Star shook his tail, "It's just that there may be something I've been looking for, so I've been tracking it down."
Arthur stared at the evil star with a cold gaze like looking at a scum: "Do you... want to take advantage of the treasure in Elf Town?"
"Treasure?" Evil Star was stunned for a moment.
Then, the little red dragon became furious as if he was offended: "Idiot! You don't understand anything, and it's all in vain for me to tell you!"
There seemed to be a burst of sadness in the words, and the evil star flew away displeased.
"I always feel like... I heard something terrible?" Yi Wen muttered in a low voice as he watched the evil star leave.
"Ignore him, that guy likes to talk nonsense." Arthur snorted like a sneer, "But, having said that, your boy's eyesight seems to be true. Is he of elven blood? Hmm...
."
"How is this possible? How can a humble person like me have the noble blood of elves..."
"Can't you be more confident?" Arthur shook his head, "The ability is real, and it is enough that it can be used in battle. If the people in the Knights don't agree with you, then show some
It’s just such a simple thing to force them to agree with real results.”
"What Arthur said is simple enough," Ivan said with a sullen face, "but doing it is another matter. Do a guy like me, who has no strength, want to fight the enemy? I feel terrible just thinking about it.
"
"Is it scary? A gunman just shoots down the enemy from a long distance. Wouldn't it be better to leave the close combat to others? Is it scary to shoot at a target that won't fire back from a long distance? I can't understand it," Arthur said.
"If you fail, you will cause trouble to your comrades. Then they will complain and hate you. Such things------"
"Not only are you the enemy, but are you also afraid of your comrades?" Arthur was angry, "You are even afraid of your own friends, what should you do?!"
"Yes...I'm sorry!" Ivan shrank subconsciously.
Arthur looked at Ivan in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing," young Yiwen said.
"You still said 'nothing'? What's going on with that reflexive movement of shrinking? Are you used to being beaten? Do other people often hit you?!"
"No...no, it's just...sometimes I say something wrong, and Oven will..." Ivan spoke softer and quieter, and the next words were spoken at a volume that only he could hear.
Said.
Arthur sighed, "So you are always looked down upon by your father, bullied by your brother, and always regarded as a fool by the people in the Knights. Am I right?"
"perhaps."
"How long do you want to continue living like this? For the rest of your life?" Arthur asked.
"Probably...probably." The young man replied hesitantly.
"Do you feel satisfied living such a 'stable' life?" Arthur came over and asked.
"I don't know." The boy replied.
"Answer me! Are you satisfied?!" the knight asked again.
"...That's enough!!" The young man pushed Arthur away, huddled up and squatted on the ground, his voice changed in tone: "Please don't worry about me anymore!!"
