角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60)
「你是誰?」
他沒有說話,但將死之人話卻格外的多。
「我知道了。你是飛霄的影衛?被我猜中了是不是。一輩子行於黑暗,做見不得光的事……
「不如我給你個機會,我家主人想知道『飛霄有步離血統』——這個傳言是不是真的?如果我們能達成合作,等未來扳倒飛——啊!」
事情和他想得一樣。於是他乾脆地結束掉這次任務。
這是他身為影衛的職責,無所謂正確與否…他的行動只是基於命令。
因為,對他個人而言,每一次成功的行動也是一次機會…復仇的機會。
「一次成功的任務便能得一枚巡鏑,一枚巡鏑可換一次行刺後的寬恕。」
他曾一度擔心自己無法接近飛霄,卻被她指定為曜青的影衛,跟隨她的身側。
他對飛霄的行刺從未成功,卻練就了一身神出鬼沒的本領。這柄黑暗中出擊的利刃,其所向不僅指向曜青將軍本人,更是指向所有曜青仙舟的敵人,成為無所不在的影子。
「難道你就是…鴉羽怪人嗎?」
又一次任務結束。那倒坐地上的小孩怯生生地問道。
「他們說鴉羽怪人會打擊壞人,懲惡揚善…但他實在穿得太黑了,沒有人看得見他……
「你那麼厲害,還穿得那麼黑,所、所以…謝、謝謝你救了我!」
懲惡揚善嗎?並非出於這樣的目的,他只是在執行任務中順手救了他一命。但他確實早已習慣將自己隱匿在各處暗影中,窺察四周,不放過任何一隅。
在小孩熠熠的目光中,他清楚地看見了身著烏衣的自己。
行於黑暗,也立於黑暗。
鴉羽怪人也好,影衛也好,都成為了他的一部分。
Character Story: Part III

"Who are you?"
He says nothing, but people who are staring death in the face tend to get chatty.
"I know. You're Feixiao's shadow guard. I'm right, aren't I? You've spent your whole life working in the shadows, doing things that should never see the light of day...
"How about I give you a chance? My master wants to know if the rumor of Feixiao having borisin blood is true. If we can reach an agreement, then when we take down Fei — AGH!"
Things are as he had suspected. So, he brings his mission to a swift end.
This is his duty as a shadow guard. There is no consideration for right or wrong... His actions are motivated only by orders.
This is because, to him, each successful mission is an opportunity... An opportunity for revenge.
"For every successful mission, you will earn one strale. One strale will buy you forgiveness after each assassination attempt."
He was once concerned that he would not be able to get close to Feixiao, yet he was assigned as Yaoqing's shadow guard and followed by her side at all times.
His assassination attempts were never successful, but through them, he had mastered the art of vanishing and reappearing like a ghost. This blade that strikes from the darkness is not only aimed at the general of the Yaoqing, but also the enemies of the Xianzhou Yaoqing. He is the omnipresent shadow.
"Are you... the crow-feather weirdo?"
Another mission complete. Sitting on the ground, the child timidly asks.
"They say the crow-feather weirdo beats up bad guys, punishes evil, and fights for good... but... The clothes he wears are so dark that no one can ever see him...
"You're so strong and your clothes are so dark, so, so... th—thank you for saving me!"
Punish evil and fight for good? That is never his motive. He just happens to save the boy while carrying out one of his missions. However, he has indeed become used to concealing himself within the shadows and keeping a watchful eye on all goings-on, not letting anything pass him.
In the sparkling eyes of the child in front of him, he can see himself clearly in his umbral clothes.
He walks in the darkness and stands in the darkness.
The crow-feather weirdo, the shadow guard... they are all parts of who he is.
