角色故事•二(解鎖條件:角色等級40)
「報告將軍,藥王秘傳殘黨已盡數擒獲一百一十七名,待交由十王司鎮入牢獄。
「但那個少年,應該是被藥物折磨的,您看……」
他躲在陰影處,被喚作將軍的女子朝他走了過來,顯然是早已發現。
「到時,我們應彼此承繼意志。」
腦中想起的聲音毫無感情,但日復一日的聆聽卻令他在此刻舉起匕首。
可不過一眨眼,手中的匕首已落了地。
「想殺我?」
「你殺了我的家人。」
他注意到那狐耳女人的眼神似乎有一瞬的怔忡。
「你把他們當家人?」
「他們救了我,所以我活著。」
她鬆開手,搖了搖頭。
「看來你什麼都不知道…罷了,之後會有人來安排你的生活與住處,你跟著他們走就好。」
她轉過身離開,但少年並未起身,只是緊盯著她的背影。他知道,這也許是最後的機會。
他拾起地上的匕首,自那背影後側躍起,揮刺向前。
「這招不錯!」她讚揚道。
這一次匕首並未掉落,而是到了女子的手中。但他仍未放棄,左突右閃不成,竟發了狠要咬女子的手。
「咬人可不行…哎,沒事,你們別過來…這孩子怎麼跟我以前在步離軍營那會兒一樣的。」
女子也不出手,只是躲著。少年氣喘吁吁,卻仍伺機尋找她的破綻。
他們就那麼僵持著。
「這樣吧,不如你跟我一起回去。」
女子拿出一枚巡鏑,遞給他。
「我答應你。只要你跟我走,往後你便可以向我發起挑戰,直到你復仇成功。」
「什麼意思?」
「只要你跟我走,你就可以隨時來殺我。」
不光是少年,連周圍的青丘軍也怔住了。
「當然,在殺了我之前,你得聽我的。按時吃飯、讀書、練武…對了,還得每天洗澡。」
少年艱難地咽了口口水。
「殺了你之後呢?」
女子怔了一怔,哈哈大笑起來。
「那自然是你想做什麼,就做什麼。」
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."
