Shaman from Afar

Empire camp, Edward's camp.

The extremely tired night watchman Edward stood cautiously outside the camp. After confirming that he was not staring at his surroundings, he carefully opened the curtain door and entered the camp while putting it down immediately.

In the camp, Peter Fassa, who had just sobered up from the coma, was sitting at the round table, and he was seriously talking with Vera, the red-haired girl in the Azores elf, who was a night watchman, and his expression was very solemn.

In place of Edward himself and Peter Fassa, Vira, the night watchman sent to investigate the accident of the ocean fleet, had lost contact with the night watchman of the empire a long time ago; after the invasion of the Azores, her identity was placed in the " In the missing list.

For the organization of the night watchman, the only difference between disappearance and death is that there is no proof; the reappearance of the "missing person" is no different from the resurrection of the dead, which is a happy thing.

But Edward is the absolute exception.

The more he touched the core of the empire, the more he could understand why, the former leader Rut Infinite was a neurotic pervert. Any guy who wants to deal with this can never be a normal person.

To be a qualified "night leader" of the night watchman, you need to have an extremely strong heart and a tremendous amount of nerves. You must avoid all emotional and irrational behavior. You must respect all friendship and personal friendship. , Or even yourself ...

Edward thinks he has a long way to go before such a powerful existence, and if he can, he has no plans to improve; as long as he can complete his work step by step, make sure that he can live and live well, and be safe. .

Frankly speaking, if it were not for the only way to resign from this job was to die, he would not want to do it for a long time.

So he does not understand his friends or a lot of people, why is he so passionate about death and causing trouble to others? Is it safe, ordinary, and wealthy to live well?

Peter Fassa did n’t understand it. It ’s just that the guys of small citizens have such inexplicable noble feelings; why even Vera, who came from the bottom like himself, and was stumbling in the slums, did n’t understand that if he had tossed half his life, he would be as painful as he was then. What are you still doing?

We are not rich people who have nothing to eat, we must rely on adventure and travel experience to stimulate, we live every day very exciting gangsters, robbers, mercenaries, wild dogs robbing the bones ... slum children, one day Going out is not a life-and-departure decision, which day is not a risk to live?

Eduard firmly believes that if everyone has a "quantitative" risk value in his life, then before his thirteenth year, this value should have broken the table.

"Edward, are you back?"

Noticed that Peter Fassa, who was a friend who came in, lit up in front of his eyes, but instead he was the unusually silent red-haired girl Vera.

"That's right, Vera just told me a lot about her and the Oath Knight's experience in the Azores kingdom; I ... I was so excited that I didn't know what to say; to be honest, I always thought she had already ... "

"It's already dead, yeah." Edward, the night watchman, sat down wearily and said quietly: "If Jia Wen and Ivan can just disappear, then how good it should be."

Peter's expression stiffened.

Jiawen and Ivan ...

The moment Edward opened his mouth, the three of them remembered the little ones who were always timid and kept silent behind them.

In the event of the Holy Blood Elixir, in order to protect Isaac's tragic death in front of the gate of Eboden and the rescuers who rescued them, there was only one step away.

"Edward ... If it ’s because I did n’t discuss with you before, I apologize to you; but the intelligence that Vera brings is very critical, you listen to me ..."

"No, listen to me this time!" The night watchman suddenly snatched his eyes coldly:

"If you still remember Jiawen and Ivan, then you should remember the lessons left by the Holy Blood Elixir incident to intervene in the business, what is the end."

"I don't know what Vera you found in the Kingdom of Azores, but I know that it has nothing to do with us, it has nothing to do with the low-level people like us from Ebden, it is not something we should manage!"

Interrupted Peter for a moment, silently looked at Edward, who was a little too excited and completely different from the peace.

"Before Peter, you asked me why I wanted to be a night watchman. I can tell you now ... because I can't escape, I can't escape because I know too many things that I shouldn't know. Die, I do n’t want to die! I want to live, I want you to live and we can all live well! "

Like he finally said what he said, Edward Hysteria said:

"You ... you don't understand at all, don't you understand how good a chance you have now to say goodbye to all of this, and go away! If I disappear now, will Brandon let me go, the next nightwatch leader Will you let me go? "

"No, they won't! Before my head is placed in front of Brandon, they won't let me go! I am missing today, and tomorrow there will be hundreds of night watchmen chasing and killing us, making us worse off Death, sleep and sleep! "

"Edward, calm down, we understand your ..."

"Do you understand, do you really ... really understand?"

The leader of the night watchman has a pained expression and takes a long breath:

"I'm tired, I'm really too tired ... I beg you, my beloved friends, now that there is still such a good opportunity before you, then hurry up and grab it! Disappear, from those who think To use you and the guy who called you to disappear, so that they cannot find you! "

"Do n’t give them the chance to take advantage of us, do n’t fight for the empire, the royal family, the Vault of Heaven ... it ’s not worth it, and it ’s not worth it. Let ’s continue to take risks. We ’ve done enough for them, really enough. too much!"

"I was forced to become a night watchman ... either become a knife in someone else's hand, or be beaten alive by a gang before starving to death ... I seized the last chance to change my destiny, but this time I couldn't catch it, and I got stuck It ’s too deep, too deep and too late when I want to get out. "

Embarrassed, Edward slumped in his chair: "Now, the last thing I can do is protect you ... Jiawen and Ivan, I failed to protect them, so I can't lose you anymore; I don't have family, you are My family members."

Peter Fasha stopped talking and looked at his best friend quietly.

Took another breath, and exhausted Edward pressed his forehead and closed his eyes, as if praying.

"I know."

The red-haired girl who had never spoken, finally spoke.

The eyes of Peter and Edward turned, and they turned to Vera, who was just like the past.

"I know what Edward means, I have experienced, so I know he is right." Vera looked at Edward, blinking his eyes like he was going to stun him:

"But if you have been to the Kingdom of Azores like me and have seen the misery there, Edward you will understand that all this is not about us, all this ..."

"I know." Edward interrupted again:

"I know what happened to the kingdom of Azores, and I also know who is behind the scenes."

Ok? !

Not only Vera, even Peter Fasha's eyes widened, shocked.

"Why, do you think I know nothing about all this?" Edward looked at his close friends indifferently, shaking his head helplessly:

"No, I already knew that ... I knew it when Brandon or His Royal Highness visited the Boundary Hill a few years ago. I know that the enemies we face are not only the Azores, they can only be regarded as piece."

"I know the identity of the murderer behind the scenes, I also know what he probably wants to do, I even ..."

Edward, who wanted to say "I even dealt with him", recalled the appearance of "Black Cross" Séior in his mind for a moment, and he stopped talking.

"you know?"

Vera stood up and looked at Edward incredulously with his hands on the table: "You know it ..." Black Cross "Serior ... you know it ... his existence?"

"Yes, I know, now I understand why I ca n’t walk without thinking?"

Edward had no good airway.

"Then why do you still ..."

"Because I know that is not something we can fight against, Black Cross or Serel, that is the monster that destroyed the Dragon Kingdom ... We are not his opponent!"

Looking at Peter and Vera, who were still stubborn, Edward had a worse headache: "I understand the seriousness of the problem, but this time it was not the Azores, the ogres nor the centaurs, it was Serriel, it was. 'Black Cross' Serior, we are not his opponent! "

"Maybe he can really be defeated, but it must not be us! Maybe it's Loren Turin, Isaac, His Majesty Brandon or the vowed cavalier, maybe they can ... but it has nothing to do with us , Our existence is at most sent to death to fight for time! "

"Look outside, look now, look at the bones all over the place, look at those that have not been collected so far, the bones of the war dead do you think Brandon ca n’t do it, you think they do n’t Come out, look at them! "

"You also don't want to do this kind of thing, can you just die to make the dead dead?"

"Is it not good to live? An An stable and stable, the wealthy is safe, ordinary life is not good, do I have to die for other people's things?"

"Are you crazy, am I crazy, or are we all crazy ?!"

Even in the most excited state, Edward is desperately controlling his voice and emotions to avoid being discovered by outsiders.

The three people sitting around the table were silent.

After a moment, Vera still spoke first.

"So we do nothing, don't say anything, just watch things happen."

"It's like ... we don't exist?"

Edward said nothing, expressing his approval in silence.

"Being the weakest living creature is better than being the bravest dead ... this is what you mean, Edward?" Peter Farsha whispered, his voice bitter:

"Can you really do it?"

The leader of the night watchman snorted, responding to his friend.

"Of course, otherwise how do you think I lived to this day? In order to live the humiliation and endurance I have suffered, it is not that you guys who like to groan without disease can understand ..."

"No, I don't mean that." Peter stared at him as if he had seen through his thoughts at a glance: "You always tell us that as long as we disappear, you will be able to balance everything if it doesn't appear, really May I?"

"I……"

"You can't do it, right?" Peter frowned, his expression bitter: "You said that Brandon is not a person who will easily give up, he will use all means to achieve his wishes if he really Want my life, ask for your handle, and realize that you have something to hide from him ... "

"Emperor Brandon ... he will not let you go, you also said that you are only a tool to him, he will not care what the tool thinks, he only let the tool obey himself."

"Going against his will, you will die miserably ... even die better than life."

Silent Edward's expression is a bit ugly.

The stunned Vera had not recovered from the shock just now, but immediately entered another shock.

"Peter, you mean ... Edward ... he ..."

"He intends to protect us by sacrificing himself." Peter slowly got up and looked at Edward, who closed his eyes and remained silent. It seemed that as long as he did, he could not hear his voice and his expression ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ This guy who always likes to keep himself out of business is actually very childish.

"You always say that after losing Jiawen and Ivan, you don't want to lose us anymore. I have to say that this is the same for Vera and me. We can't lose you anymore, Edward." Peter Farsha said in a deep voice:

"I personally witnessed the end of Ruth Infinite. I saw how the terrifying and trembling adult fell down to the point of stealth, and lurked incognito for a long time, begging for forgiveness in the hands of the once dead enemy, from this The disappearance without a trace in the world! "

"I know how abhorrent he is, but now I am a little clearer, that is, everything he does is for His Majesty Eckhart, fault, hatred, resentment ... this terrible man bears everything and finally But it ended so sadly. "

"If you are allowed to say goodbye to the world in that way, I will feel better than death."

Peter said sadly.

Vera lowered her head and stared at Edward's every move, as if he would dare to object and beat him.

"Peter, Vera, you ..."

Sighing Edward, hoarse voice:

"You just want the three of us to be burned to ashes by dragons together, right?"

"If it's destiny, don't resist; if it's a choice ..." Peter leaned down and faced the silent Edward:

"Let's face it together, no one wants to be a hero!"
