Chapter 298: Dialogue (Reward Plus Change)

"Well, Arcanis, my friend, I won't tell Bredero about this for a while."

Trist blinked and smiled evilly, he didn't plan to leave, and sat down on the big rock: "I'm really happy for you to get rid of the permanent charm effect of the artifact. ”

"It's like waking up from a weird dream." Arcanis's tone was a little embarrassed: "The dream is beautiful, wonderful, and memorable, but when I wake up, I feel extremely empty, embarrassed and ashamed. ”

"I've had a similar experience." Trist nodded, "Many years ago, the moment I walked out of the dark region, it was like waking up from a dream, but it was a nightmare. ”

Arcanis nodded, "What happened to us does have something in common, we were both teased by the gods and distorted our sense of self. The arrows of Eros are against me personally, and the curse you have received is against the entire race, but thankfully, we all woke up. ”

"Arcanis, I'm a little curious." Trist pondered and said, "You really don't resent Bredero? After all, he is the one who pierces you with the arrow of Eros......"

"There was also a moment when I really wanted to kill him with a sword while he was unprepared, this kind of humiliation like fooling people like clowns is rare in the world." Arcarnes' face was gloomy, but he quickly smiled with relief: "But every time my hand holds the hilt of the sword, I think of another person, and for that friend's sake, I can only spare Bredero's life." ”

"Another person?" Trist wondered.

"A little gray dwarf girl who dreams of building a flying boat to explore the astral plane."

Arcanes smiled slightly, and there was a rare warmth in her smile: "She is my new friend, after the death of my old friends Alan and Renol, I only have one friend left, kill Bredero, Mia's dream is likely to be unrealized." ”

Trist vaguely remembered that the little girl named Mia was the daughter of the guerrilla leader, and she was very smart, so smart that she didn't look like she was born into the gray dwarf race.

In the fragmented memory fragments, Trist does have some impressions that Mia often goes to the wilderness to find Arcanis, who is practicing killing skills alone, and talks to him about the starry sky.

"I also want to know what the astral plane is like, and when I was a child, I loved to lie on the grass at night and look up at the stars."

"Later, I heard a rumor that for every person who died on earth, a meteor would fall from the sky. Meteors are really beautiful, I want to see more meteors, so I learned to kill, and every time I kill someone, I look at the starry sky for a while to see if there will be new meteors......"

Trist didn't know what to say, scratching his head and being silent, as a dark elf, he felt that if a different dark elf girl listened to Arcanis talk about this mental journey, he would probably feel very romantic, maybe he would be emotional and roll the lawn with him on the spot.

But Trist is no ordinary dark elf, he has long been free from the curse of the gods on the race, and he is certainly not a girl, so he only thinks that Arcanis's bloody childhood is very problematic.

It is absolutely abnormal for a child to be so innocent and kill for such a purpose.

Opening the conversation, Arcanis couldn't stop for a while, gushing about the old past: "Later, I met Alan and Renol. Alanil is a pickpocket, and when Alann is in things, Reynolds helps him cover and watch the wind......"

"Ayron saved my life, I fell ill, it was he who stole the healing potion, the healing potion worth fifty gold coins...... Fifty gold coins was enough for him and Reynolds to be fed and clothed for a long time, and he poured it into my mouth. ”

"I asked him why, and he told me that the street children in Amm have no parents, no relatives, and that we can only have a family if the street children take care of each other and treat each other as brothers......

"I've always thought that Alang can make a career, most of the street children have become our brothers and sisters, and the prestige of the Amber Shadow Thief has resounded in the countries along the coast of Sword Bay......"

"However, after the rise of the Shadow Thieves Guild, the number of homeless children in Askatra City has not decreased, but has increased, and the shadow thieves have really killed many parents, and we have become orphan makers, and we have become the people we hated the most. Alan explained that this is the law of survival in the Feron Continent - the law of the jungle, the superior people grab the flesh and blood of the inferior people to live a good life, and our goal is to step on the heads of the inferior people to climb up, and the higher we climb, the more comfortable and happy we will live. ”

Trist listened patiently to what he said, and when he heard this, he nodded: "There is a similar saying among the dark elves, and the irony is that the dark elves who follow this law can often really get their wish and live a 'happy' life of wantonly bullying and abusing others 'freely'. ”

"Ayron is dead, and in the eyes of others he is the leader of a lawless criminal organization, but who would have thought that he died precisely because he was too disciplined and obeyed the rules set by the superior people."

Arcanis sighed and said, "We have fought for the Shadow Thief Guild all our lives, but nothing has changed, the slums are still as chaotic as when we were children, and only we have changed. ”

"Reynolds didn't like the red faith, his dream was to become a human being, and he liked the feeling of stepping on others." Arcanis bowed his head: "I think he is probably dead too, he is neither as smart as Alang nor as strong as me." If he was just a thief with no name, maybe he could start over and rebuild the Shadow Thieves Guild. But he has been put on the wanted list of all the countries of the Ferron Continent, and he is the most famous thief on the Feron Continent. ”

"When he was a child, Reynolds once said that he dreamed that one day he could become the most famous thief in the continent of Ferron, and he wanted to be the king of thieves......"

Arcanis smiled bitterly: "Now, it's a dream come true, but I don't think he should be happy about it." ”

"Trist, as I said before, I'll stay here after Bredrow leaves."

Arcanis looked into Trist's eyes and said very solemnly, "I have made up my mind to join the Feron Underground Party and try to convert to the Red Faith. You're right, people should keep up with the times, the dream of the three Amm wanderers was completely shattered, I should find a new way, I can't always lie here and look at those fluorescent mosses that are not stars at all. ”

Trist reached out and clasped it tightly with Arcanis' hand.

"Welcome aboard!" Trist also said solemnly: "I will be your introducer to join the party." The party organization is also a big family, of course, a big family that is completely different from the Shadow Thieves Guild, you will definitely find your place and get a new purpose in life. ”
