Twilight War

05

The long, narrow and deep corridor was empty except for the boy who was playing with a blade in his hand.

The things brought in during the banquet this time will be put into the iron warehouse on the basement level, and will be sent in around twelve o'clock.

It is now 11:30, and he must enter the iron vault before then, otherwise the defense will be so tight that even a mosquito will not be able to fly in.

Huangxuan Jin wore a pair of black soft rubber-soled boots, and walked on the ground without making any sound, like a silent wild cat, but his movements were swaggering, walking in the middle of the corridor, as if he never knew what restraint was.

The iron warehouse was facing the bottom of the steps. The guard guarding the door of the iron warehouse first saw the long legs walking down, and felt that something was wrong, but a thief should not be able to swagger like this, as if he had entered his own iron warehouse.

Huang Xuanjin greeted the two of them with a smile that was not a smile at the corners of his mouth. Just as the two of them were about to shoot, their throats were cut by two blades, and they fell down without making any sound.

Huang Xuanjin stepped over their corpses, and pressed keys on the iron vault according to the numbers on the blueprint given by Carter.

The password of the iron vault was asked by Carter after he gave Master Doude some hallucinogens. Master Doude only knew that there was money in the iron vault, but he didn't know anything else. He had a low awareness of defense, so it was easy to ask.

The steel-making gate slowly opened in front of Huangxuan Jin. This kind of gate was tens of centimeters thick, and even heavy artillery might not be able to open it. Moreover, there were all kinds of mechanical locks inside, and it would take him a day to unlock it. .

But to really solve it, all you need is a beautiful girl and a stupid young master.

The two guards were cut with blades, the cut was very skillful, the wound was very small, and the clothes on their bodies were not dirty.

After opening the door, there were basically no traps, and it was flat, thinking about it. This is also the place where Earl Tudor often comes. If any trap is set here, Earl Tudor himself will have to die a thousand or eight hundred times before others die.

And those things are sure to hide somewhere deeper.

"What is Young Master Jin looking for? I wonder if I can help you?"

A girl's voice suddenly came from behind her. It sounded like she was only about thirteen or fourteen, but she was naturally indifferent.

Huangxuanjin turned around slowly, the entire iron warehouse was in darkness, only a small lamp hung on a small round platform, the girl was sitting under the lamp, with a half glass of red wine on the glass table in front of her, half of her face was like porcelain jade, The other half of the face was hidden in the darkness.

"I was entrusted by someone to find something." Huang Xuanjin looked at the girl and said.

"Then how will the young master plan to find it?"

"It is said that it will be delivered at twelve o'clock today."

"Then it seems that Young Master Jhin's main thing is the Dragon's Breath Stone. What does Young Master Jin do with this?"

"I said, if someone else wants it, I will give him the things and he will give me the money. It's that simple." Huang Xuanjin was not polite, walked over slowly, then sat on the opposite side of the table, leaning on the chair On the back, "Queen Hull should stop calling me the young master, I am no longer the young master of the Huangxuan family."

Hull poured wine into another glass and pushed it in front of Huangxuan Jin, "But your surname is still Huangxuan, you can't give up this surname."

Huangxuanjin took a sip of wine, "Huangxuan, it's just two words. In the eyes of everyone, my surname is Donghuang, Vana, Arthur, not Huangxuan."

"These three surnames are not worthy of the young master." Hull looked at Huangxuan Jin and said quietly, her eyes were wandering but mysterious.

"What? Queen Hale wants me to be named Ringwraith?"

"Why not?"

"But I don't think this surname sounds good." Huang Xuanjin shrugged and said.

"Just because of that?"

"I'm just a useless person now. I live my life every day. I lie on the bed and close my eyes. I don't even know if I can open them again the next day. What does Queen Hull want me to be like a useless person? Pull me back to work in Heim's underworld. A display? Let’s forget it, because even that girl Isabel is considering killing me now.”

"The young master underestimated himself too much." Hull said with a chuckle.

"It's not that I underestimate myself, it's that I've always been very light." Huang Xuanjin spread his hands, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "Look at me, I'm no longer the Huangxuanjin that I was back then. How is it possible to live like this. I just want to live in the world now."

His father once said to him - if you live, you will live like a hero; if you die, you will die like a hero.

And now he is an ant no matter whether he lives or dies.

"I have nothing left. I can't die or live well. I hope Queen Hull can let me go."

Hull shook his head, "You don't have nothing."

"You are still unwilling, you are still angry."

Huang Xuanjin smiled, as if he thought it was funny, "What's the difference between you and a beggar who asks for money and you tell him that you don't have nothing, you still have poverty."

But Hull didn't smile, she still looked at Huangxuan Jin, "I've seen the eyes of people who really have nothing, those lost people, those homeless wandering around the streets like clock parts, their eyes are numb, They are but a body walking in the world."

"And you still have unwillingness and anger in your eyes. Unwillingness and anger are different from poverty. Poverty will only make people desperate, but unwillingness and anger will make the weakest boy draw his sharp sword."

"The heart of the weakest boy is a burning beast. The moment you pull out your sword, you are killing gods and killing demons." Hull looked at Huangxuan Jin and said word by word, "I have seen you pull out your sword. Look, I know how terrifying you were at that time, and I look forward to waking up the burning beast in your heart again."

"Don't wait, that beast is already dead, I killed it myself." Huangxuan Jin raised his glass to Hull. "One knife, one knife, and death."

"It's not dead." Hull looked straight into Huangxuan Jin's eyes, "From here, I can still see it looking at me. It's waiting to wake up, waiting for it to fight, when only Heaven and earth are worthy of its battlefield."

"Stop talking, you've said it all, it hasn't woken up yet, how could it be looking at you. It's dead."

"The most ferocious beast sleeps with its eyes open, staring at those who come near him, and tearing them to pieces when it wakes up," said Hull.

"That's really miserable, can't you even close your eyes while sleeping?" Huang Xuanjin shook his head and said.

"What about you? Can you sleep peacefully every night? Can you close your eyes comfortably every night?" Hale asked.

"Of course I can. I sleep well. I sleep sixteen hours a day." Huang Xuanjin shrugged and said.

"Sixteen hours, but how much time can you really close your eyes, how much time can you really fall asleep peacefully. I'm afraid it's not even a moment."

"But so what?"

Hull shook the wine in her hand, the glass under the light was as clear as crystal against the girl's fingers, she said softly: "You come to this world once, don't you want to pick up your sword, go fight, go Conquest? You are willing to let that beast die like this, without burning. Don’t you come to this world once, and don’t want to tear what you hate and burn everything you hate with your own hands?”

"But what if I hate you?" Huang Xuanjin looked at the girl and smiled.

"Then I'll wait for you to pick up your sword and kill me," the girl said.

Huang Xuanjin smiled lightly and shook his head, "But there are always people who come to this world just to see the dusk."

"you have seen?"

"I've seen it many times, it's enough." Huang Xuanjin said.

"But you know the last twilight is not yet here," said Hale.

"The last twilight is none of my business, my twilight will always be tonight's one." Huang Xuanjin said.

"But it will come."

Just as Huang Xuanjin was about to speak, Hull suddenly motioned him not to speak, then pointed to the upstairs, and whispered, "Music is playing, my favorite one."

Only then did Huang Xuanjin notice that the center of the ball was above the chandelier, and the girl just now was sitting alone in the dark iron vault.

Across the floor, the music became less realistic, mixed with cheers and loud noises.But under the bustling environment, this place looks even colder and darker, even... lonely.

The girl tapped her fingers on the table, beating the beat to the faint singing.

Half of the girl's face was as clean as white porcelain, while the other half of her face was rotten like bones.The queen of the underworld, Herr, her body is like the worst joke, a deliberate joke, combining the most perfect half and the worst half.

Huang Xuanjin suddenly remembered that although this girl looked only twelve or thirteen years old, she had already lived for thousands of years. All the things and people related to this girl should have been wiped out in the dust of history.

And the girl has stayed in the loneliest Helm's Underworld for thousands of years. Above Heim's Underworld is the bustling atrium, and above that is the god capital Asgard. The lonely Helm Underworld.

Her solitude beneath all the prosperity.

After listening to the music, Hull seemed to be in a good mood, "Master Jhin, do you want to hear the story?"

"What is it related to?" Huangxuan Jin asked.

"I'm not too clear about it, I can only say that it has something to do with the past." The girl said.

"Okay, I'm listening."

"Has the young master heard of the winter of Fenbulle?" Hull asked.

"You know, it was the most terrifying period before the first twilight battle. The main god Odin left the god capital Asgard. So the winter of Fimbul came. There are no other seasons except winter, only winter , cold and dark winter, three winters in succession. The frost giants and the Lost Ones from the north invaded Asgard at the same time, which was an unprecedented catastrophe faced by the gods."

"Does the young master know how Fember ended?"

"At the last moment, Odin brought his heroic warriors back to Asgard, with thousands of troops and banners all over the sky." Huangxuan Jin said.

"It really is a story. The story has been told [-] times before it becomes the truth. No one cares about what happened." Hull looked at Huangxuan Jin: "There was only one hero in that battle. But not Odin."

"Everyone in the world is busy living and dying. No one cares about the truth buried in dust." Huang Xuanjin said.

""

"But we still remember," Hull said.

"I don't want to care about what happened in the past. I just want to live in such chaos. I'm not interested in what happened 1000 years ago. I like listening to stories, even if they are fake. The real hero is I don't care about anyone."

"Young Master Jhin doesn't care?" Hull asked.

"I'm not in the mood to study the truth of the story, no matter it's true or not, just listen to it." Huang Xuanjin said.

"What about the story of the second twilight battle? What if the young master Jhin is no longer the person who listens to the story, but the person in the story? Does the young master still not care about the truth of the story?" Hull asked, " Those stories are not only buried in dust, they have been burned to ashes, and no one remembers them except us widows. So, you still don’t care if the stories are true or not?”

"That battle should be forgotten." Huangxuan Jinhou said with her head raised.

"Since the young master Jin doesn't care, why does the young master take Huangxuan as his surname again?" Hull pressed the young man in front of him who tilted his head back slightly.

"Once upon a time there was a pearl that was enshrined on the most noble altar, covered with the most expensive silk brocade, and all people regarded it as a treasure. But then everyone said that this pearl was fake, and they threw it into the In the dust, no one looked at him again."

The young man said slowly as if he was a little distracted: "But I am still willing to pick up this pearl, hold it in my arms, and regard it as a treasure."

"Even if no one remembers its past glory and favor, it is enough for me to remember it. I am willing to cherish this pearl."

"I offer a toast to Young Master Jin." Hull slowly raised his glass.

The door made of steel was suddenly and slowly opened.Just as Huang Xuanjin wanted to escape, Hull sipped his wine and said, "Don't worry, I won't see you."

Three people came in, respectfully put the box on the glass table in front of Hull and left.

"Just treat it as a gift from me." After the three of them left, Hull pushed the box in front of Huangxuan Jin, "It's been a long time since anyone chatted with me."

"So good?" Huang Xuanjin smiled. "You can take the things away after chatting for a day. If there are such good things to come to me in the future, I will accompany you whenever you want to chat."

"But I'm afraid that you will never go back to Haim's Underworld," said Hull. "It's enough to make money, whether he can go back or not."

"It's not all because you chatted with me." Hull said, "It's also because your eyes remind me of the stars in Asgard."

"Unexpectedly, Queen Hell would like Asgard?"

"I don't like Asgard. I would like to burn it with my own hands and watch it burn to ashes in the sea of ​​fire. But I only love the stars of Asgard."

The crate was branded with the ring spirit's burning flame emblem with blood sand, like the eyes of a devil, Huang Xuanjin smiled: "Sometimes I really don't like this emblem, it seems like killing too much."

Hull also smiled while drinking: "One day you will know that the World Tree coat of arms made of silver is much more murderous, but too few people have seen it."

Huangxuan Jin left with the box in his hands, and smiled with the corner of his mouth twitching, "This business is easy, if only other businesses were so easy."

When walking to the door, Huang Xuanjin suddenly asked, "Is Heim's Underworld... cold?"

Hull paused with the hand holding the wine glass, and then said, "It's as cold as the heart."
