角色故事•二(解锁条件:角色等级40)
“报告将军,药王秘传残党已尽数擒获一百一十七名,待交由十王司镇入牢狱。
“但那个少年,应该是被药物折磨的,您看……”
他躲在阴影处,被唤作将军的女子朝他走了过来,显然是早已发现。
“到时,我们应彼此承继意志。”
脑中想起的声音毫无感情,但日复一日的聆听却令他在此刻举起匕首。
可不过一眨眼,手中的匕首已落了地。
“想杀我?”
“你杀了我的家人。”
他注意到那狐耳女人的眼神似乎有一瞬的怔忡。
“你把他们当家人?”
“他们救了我,所以我活着。”
她松开手,摇了摇头。
“看来你什么都不知道…罢了,之后会有人来安排你的生活与住处,你跟着他们走就好。”
她转过身离开,但少年并未起身,只是紧盯着她的背影。他知道,这也许是最后的机会。
他拾起地上的匕首,自那背影后侧跃起,挥刺向前。
“这招不错!”她赞扬道。
这一次匕首并未掉落,而是到了女子的手中。但他仍未放弃,左突右闪不成,竟发了狠要咬女子的手。
“咬人可不行…哎,没事,你们别过来…这孩子怎么跟我以前在步离军营那会儿一样的。”
女子也不出手,只是躲着。少年气喘吁吁,却仍伺机寻找她的破绽。
他们就那么僵持着。
“这样吧,不如你跟我一起回去。”
女子拿出一枚巡镝,递给他。
“我答应你。只要你跟我走,往后你便可以向我发起挑战,直到你复仇成功。”
“什么意思?”
“只要你跟我走,你就可以随时来杀我。”
不光是少年,连周围的青丘军也怔住了。
“当然,在杀了我之前,你得听我的。按时吃饭、读书、练武…对了,还得每天洗澡。”
少年艰难地咽了口口水。
“杀了你之后呢?”
女子怔了一怔,哈哈大笑起来。
“那自然是你想做什么,就做什么。”
Character Story: Part II
• Unlocked at Character Level 40
"General, report! One hundred and seventeen of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have been captured and will be handed over to the Ten-Lords Commission for imprisonment."
"However, this young man has likely suffered torture with their medicines. Look..."
As he hides himself in the shadows, the woman being referred to as the "General" walks towards him. She had clearly already noticed his presence.
"When that time comes, we must carry on each other's wills."
The voice that resounds in his mind is devoid of emotion, yet day after day of being exposed to it causes him to raise his dagger at once.
However, in the blink of an eye, the dagger comes crashing to the ground.
"You wish to kill me?"
"You killed my family."
He notices a momentary unease in the eyes of the fox-eared woman.
"You count them as family?"
"They saved me. They are the only reason I am alive."
She lets go of the boy and shakes her head.
"I see you know nothing... Never mind. Someone will come to plan a home and life for you. Just follow them and you will be fine."
As she turns to leave, the boy stays crouched on the floor, simply staring at her back. He knows that this may be his final chance.
He picks up the dagger from the ground, jumps high into the air from behind her, and lunges forward.
"A fine attack!" She praises him.
This time, the dagger does not fall to the ground, as it ends in the woman's hands. However, he does not give up. He dodges left and right, and even gnaws at the woman's hand when that failed.
"It's not polite to bite people, you know... Ah, don't worry about me. Stand down... This child reminds me of how I was in the borisin war camp."
The woman does not fight back. She simply dodges his assaults. The young man is panting and out of breath, yet still desperately seeking a break in her defenses.
They stand in a stalemate.
"How about this? You can come back with me."
The woman pulls out a strale and hands it to the young man.
"I'll make a deal with you. Come with me, and you can challenge me whenever you please until the day that your vengeance is successful."
"What do you mean?"
"If you come with me, you can kill me any time you like."
Even the surrounding Verdant Knights were stupefied by her words.
"Of course, until the day you kill me, you must do as I tell you. You will eat three square meals every day, study, learn martial arts... Oh, and you will shower daily."
The young man swallows a heavy gulp.
"What about after I kill you?"
The woman was caught off-guard for a moment before erupting into loud laughter.
"Then, naturally, you will be free to do whatever you please."
