A knight threw a horn cup on Rogette's table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rogert: "You dropped something?" ”

Knight: "I ask for a duel!" You insulted me twice! "This guy has lost to Rogert and he lost again.

Rogette raised his eyebrows: "Two times should be enough." "Aha, that's a very stimulating statement.

Knight: "You refuse to duel me?" I'm going to show you how I treat cowards! ”

The knight surrounded Rogette with his helpers. So, Rogette and the players stood up. It's a hand-to-hand fight, and everyone's weapon is a fist. The player's side has a clear numerical advantage.

Rogette won, and he stood in front of the knight and said, "Three to zero, Tyres." You'd better think about whether or not you want to challenge me a fourth time. ”

The knight of Tyres was bruised and swollen and shouted, "I'm going to kill you, freak!" ”

Gaymash Mic: "You've got a chance, sir. But you missed the opportunity, and now please leave. ”

Tyres: "We'll meet again, mutants!" ”

As night fell, the venue was lit with gas, and the banquet continued.

Vivien walked over slowly: "I am honored to witness this celebration of bravery and honor. In addition, I was able to meet people who symbolize the five virtues of knighthood and work hard. But after the battle, rest is indispensable. Therefore, I invite all the warriors who have come out of the tournament to participate in this feast for you. If you want to be alone, a private tent is nearby.

Team melee duels will be held the next day. Everyone has a chance to be honored. The best among you will have the honor of facing off against the defending champions. The famous Grey martyr. Gao Gong, that is, the champion of last year's martial arts competition. Celebrate, party, and enjoy, but remember that tomorrow there are trials waiting for you. ”

Gay Rice and Rogette winked at each other, and the two came to a quiet place.

Gaymoy: "Follow her." We'll see you in your tent after your last game. You have to help her! ”

Rogette leads the player to Vivien's tent. However, Vivien was not in the tent.

Rogert: "We came along, she should be here." Disappeared out of thin air... And the bird. Is she a vampire girl? There are sounds... Outside... Is that the bird? Flew away... Maybe there's something to be gained by tracking it down. ”

Rogette led the player to chase the bird, and the bird seemed to be intentional, flying neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low, as if it was deliberately leading Rogette and the others to somewhere.

Everyone passed the riverbank, crossed the river, killed a few small monsters that suddenly appeared, walked across a broken wooden bridge, and a cave appeared in front of them.

Rogert: "The bird flew over the hills. We'll walk through this cave, maybe faster. ”

Everyone came to the woods. The view is very beautiful. Flowers flutter in the night breeze under the light of fireflies.

A figure crouched on a stone by the river, her back to Rogette and the others: "Demon Hunter..."

Rogette waved his hand to keep the player in place, and he walked over alone, "Miss Vivien... You must think I'm going to get lost. ”

Vivien: "That's right. I thought you were like those knights. Outstanding performance in martial arts competitions, but helpless in the face of real danger. Looks like I'm wrong. ”

Rogette: "So you're not a vampire girl. ”

Vivien: "What's that?" "Vivien is wearing a layer of feathers on her body at the moment, and it is obvious that she should be a harpy or something.

Rogette: "I suspect you might be a vampire. There are some details that confirm my suspicions. Then I changed my mind... Either way, it doesn't matter. I heard that you often come to this clearing. ”

Vivien: "This is where it all began... Since I can't hide from you and save myself, I want to put an end here. Right here, there were no other witnesses. ”

Rogette: "What's the end?" ”

Vivien: "You're a demon hunter. Weren't you hired to kill me? Let's do it. Please do it quickly, I won't resist. ”

Rogette: "Demon hunters only hunt monsters, and sometimes they don't even kill monsters. You're not a monster. ”

Vivien stood up and turned around, her face with a huge beak: "Look at me, what is it that is not a monster in your eyes?" ”

Rogert: "The only thing I've found out so far is that you're not dangerous to anyone. But I hope to know more about you. ”

Vivien: "If you weren't commissioned to kill me, then why are you interested in me?" Did rice force you? Is that so? ”

Rogette: "He wanted to help you, and he approached me to help." Honestly, I'm willing to help you if I have the ability. ”

Vivien: "Why should I trust you?" ”

Rogert: "Because the Duchess believes in me, because I'm also a freak, because I see cases like yours every day... The choice is yours. "That's a compelling reason.

Vivien: "You won't betray me and use my own words against me?" You won't tell anyone? ”

Rogette: "I can't guarantee until I've heard what you say. It's not a wise idea to make a decision just by seeing one side of the story. I used to regret it. ”

Vivien: "So be it, I'll tell you everything my mom told me." When she was pregnant, she and my father spent a lot of time near the forest, in this clearing. Mom loves to listen to Golden Eagle sing. She would touch her belly and say, 'My daughter will be as beautiful as the golden eagle.' That's what I want. ’

But there was a creature that dwelt in the forest and was jealous that my parents were so happy. One day it appeared to them and said that the whole forest was its thing, and that the two of them dared to have such fun in someone else's land. It demanded a price from my parents, but they said they had nothing, and it took their unborn daughter for themselves. ”

Rogert: "Did your parents describe what the creature looked like?" ”

Vivien: "They say it's a banshee born deep in the forest, without a mother or father. But I was too young to be afraid of the curse, so I didn't ask in detail. ”

Rogert: "What happened next?" ”

Vivien: "Nothing happened at first. I was born a normal child, and my parents forgot about that day. But fifteen years passed, and the curse began to manifest. At first, it was only at the time of the full moon. But now the curse is getting worse and worse, and even during the day I have to use magic ointment to hide my symptoms and pretend to be a normal person. So, I thought someone had discovered my secret and hired you to kill me. Actually, I came here with the determination to die. Maybe death makes me happier than a complete permanent deformation. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to get back to the way I was. ”

Rogette: "There's a powerful magic ingredient in the ointment you're using. You don't have immunity like a mage. If the dose is too heavy, or if it is used for too long, it may be dangerous for you. ”

Vivien: "I feel it... So I knew that one day I would have to give it up and say goodbye forever in my human form. ”

Rogert: "That curse might be reversed." I once met a baron who had turned into a cormorant, and I thought it would never come back. But I managed to get him completely back to what it was. ”

Vivien: "Do you really think you can help me?" ”

Rogert: "I can't guarantee you're in a tricky situation. The fact that you were cursed before you were born makes things a lot more complicated. In addition to this, you also say that the power of the curse is gradually increasing and the symptoms are getting worse. I can try to transfer the curse to someone else. ”

Vivien: "What? No way! I would never ruin another innocent life because of this! That's all you know? ”

Rogert: "That's the only one that's absolutely safe. ”

Vivien: "So there's another way?" ”

Rogette: "You're quick to turn me down. Why? The effect of the curse transfer will be much less, and the new host will be much less affected. ”

Vivien: "I don't even want to hear it. ”

Rogette: "Okay. There is indeed another way. To perform the ancient ritual, we need a golden eagle egg. Doing so should lift the curse forever, but I have to warn you first, there could be serious consequences. ”

Vivien: "The consequences? What are the consequences? ”

Rogert: "The curse was cast before you were born into this world. The ritual will transfer the curse to the fledgling that has not yet hatched, and you will be able to regain your freedom. But the problem is, your life will become as short as the golden eagle. ”

Vivien: "Seven years? I can understand. Hey, every rose has thorns, and there can be no happy ending in this world. But, to be honest, I never thought I would have hope, I was ready to die before I came here. But you're willing to give me seven years of life, seven years of real freedom... Don't think about it, I agree. Nothing to think about. ”

Rogette: "I know, I understand. You don't have to decide now, think about it. ”

Tang Tu really wanted to suggest that it was completely possible to transfer the curse to a bad person.

Vivien: "I see. Everyone must be waiting for us at the venue of the martial arts competition. Let's go back. ”

Rogert: "Let's go, but do you want to..."

Vivien: "Ah... By the way, I can't show up with feathers all over my body. Please wait for me. ”

Vivien slowly stepped into the water, a golden glow wafting out of her, and she reverted to her human form.

Rogette turned his back: "You can transform at any time?" ”

Vivien: "No. But I found the water in this pool to help. It doesn't work for long, but it definitely works. ”

Rogette: "Interesting—" he looked at a yellow bird on a nearby branch, his eyes contemplative.

Everyone returned to the playing field. Vivien is gone. Gay Mi immediately came looking for him.

Gaogot: "Did you find anything?" ”

Rogette nodded and stepped into his tent.

Gaymoy: "Tell me. Can't you see that I'm going crazy with fear? What's wrong with her? ”

Rogette: "She wants me not to tell anyone. ”

Gay Mi: "But I just want her to be good!" Maybe I can help, or... I don't know, at least comfort her. ”

Rogert: "We're both right, it's a curse. Vivien is cursed and gradually transforms into a bird. Her symptoms are getting worse. "Okay?

Gaymoy: "Oh my God! Curses are worse than sickness... What now? Can you help her? ”

Rogette: "Then it's up to her." If she asks, I'll try to help her. However, the stakes are high, including that she will only have seven years to live. ”

Gaogot: "What?! It's not what we said it would be! ”

Rogert: "It's tricky. Her curse grows stronger every day. I'm a demon hunter, and I can't do miracles. I think there's another way that might work. Curses can be lifted through her reflection, such as by using pool water. But we need someone else to bear the curse and bear the consequences for her. ”

Gay Mi: "You mean... Turning into a bird? ”

Rogert: "It stands to reason that the power of the curse will be weakened when it is transferred. Maybe the new host will become fond of eating seeds and earthworms. But all outcomes are possible, including death. ”

Gaymoy: "I'm ready to die for her." Just like the sacrifice made by King Fridanko's knights for Queen Sero! ”

Rogert: "I already know. But are you ready to eat bugs for the rest of your life? ”

Gaymoy: "... Yes. Which approach do you think will work best for Vivien? ”

Rogette: "I don't know yet. ”

Gaogot: "But you already have some ideas, right?" Don't tell me you're really thinking about drastically cutting her life, I'm ready to take responsibility! ”

Rogette: "The pond method is better, and there is no risk to Vivien. ”

Gaogot: "Absolutely. You know I can be trusted. I'll take all the risks. But Vivien... I'm afraid she won't be able to put it down and won't be able to accept it. ”

Rogette: "I'll meet her after the final game and talk to her. Maybe she'll agree. ”

Gaopy: "I'm up to you, Demon Hunter." I'm glad we finally found something. What now? We've dug the truth, so you don't have to finish the tournament. You can opt out. However, if you don't show up for the final game, I'll be nagged by the herald... But I can handle it. So how do you decide? ”

Rogette: "I don't do anything halfway. I will participate in the final duel. Moreover, Vivien will still be quite busy until the end of the tournament. ”

Gaymoy: "Yes. In this case, you'll have to meet up with other knights on the same team. They waited at the entrance to the arena, right next to the training ground. ”

Rogert: "Don't worry, I have my own brothers. ”
