Assassination career from full level

Because the bed was too narrow, Gilben was ready to sleep in the corner for a night. Anyway, he didn't have to be in the bed to sleep, but Ingram insisted on sleeping together. The result was that Jill spent the night lying on her side, waking up in the morning feeling like her right hand was going to be broken.

"Why are you fine at all?" Jill looked at Ingram who was walking ahead alive and kicking with resentment.

"I don't know, Ingram's left hand is fine." Ingram turned around and waved his left hand at Jill: "By the way, brother, where shall we go next?"

"Let's look for a place that sells weapons first. Since Alderland is a gathering place for bounty hunters, there must be weapons shops. Maybe you can buy good swords..." Jill said. After a pause, I suddenly remembered something: "But I heard that there are bards in this town..."

Before he finished speaking, Jill saw Ingram's sparkling eyes, smiled helplessly and sighed: "Let's go, let's listen to the bard tell a story first."

Many people have already gathered by the fountain in the center of the city, and I am going to say that it is a lot of children. The adults may have heard the stories told by the bard, so they all stand far away talking and laughing, but the children They are still very curious about the content of the story, they are still too small, there is a statue of a goddess in the center of the fountain, a person wearing a hood and a black burqa is sitting leisurely by the water of the fountain, with pale and slender hands holding He was holding a silver harp, and the hood was pulled very low, so even though he was very close, Jill could only see half of his face, and he didn't even know whether the bard in front of him was a man or a woman.

But when Ingram on the side saw the bard, he let out a soft "huh", as if he saw something surprising, and stared at the bard with wide eyes.

"What's the matter?" Jill asked, looking at Ingram who suddenly became quiet.

"It feels like this person is a bit strange." Ingram leaned on his chin, thinking.

"What a strange way."

"I can't say it, but it feels very strange. Although I know he is very strange, I don't know what this strangeness means."

Jill was confused by Ingram's inexplicable argument, and was about to ask carefully, but saw the black-robed bard lightly plucked the strings of the silver harp, and Ingram's attention was caught. Pulling it back again, the bard lightly opened his thin lips, and a clear bird-like voice came out of his mouth, which was so beautiful that it didn't sound like a human being could make.

"Then let's tell the story of Friedrich today."

"But brother, this story was already told the day before yesterday." A child raised his hand and said.

The bard seemed to laugh: "But those two foreigners over there haven't heard of it."

The children looked back and soon found Jill and Ingram. Jill took Ingram to the outermost place of the group of children and sat down. Among the group of children, only these two were the tallest. Even some adults couldn't help turning their heads to look at it. Some children seemed a little dissatisfied, but the moment the bard spoke, they all fell silent, and everyone looked at the bard in black, as if Like looking up to the gods.

"At the beginning of creation, the Creator created thirteen gods, and together with these thirteen gods, the Creator built the entire world, but the world we live in is too fragile, in the hands of the gods, it is like a fleeting Snowflakes, so the creator and gods can only exist outside the world to protect us. In order to build the interior that the gods and creators of this world cannot touch, the gods created a life called phantom, which is an existence under the gods. But they have the same power as the gods. They are like the shadows of the gods, projected on this world. Friedrich is the No. 13 gods, Alfonso of the beginning and the end, the phantom projected on this world. "

Jill blinked, folded her arms and listened carefully. Although the creator created thirteen gods in the previous paragraph, all races are generally unified. Occasionally, some special races think that the creator created 72 gods. , but the legend that the thirteen gods projected phantoms and the like was completely unheard of by Jill, at least different from the version of the Kievan Rus.

"After a long time, the twelve phantoms completed their respective tasks, and they returned to their gods, like water redissolving in water, but only Friedrich was left behind, because Friedrich's mission is only half completed, he is both the beginning and the end, and only after the destruction of this world can Friedrich return to the god he serves."

"Friedrich has become the only phantom in this world. He has the qualifications to become a god, but he cannot return to the sad existence of a god. He sleeps in the cloud seat above the sea of ​​clouds, waiting for the bell of the end to ring. Moment."

"But in the far north, the Demon God King of the Shadow Realm provoked trouble. Human blood stained the ice in the Far North. The evil shadow army is gathering, trying to occupy the entire world. The Demon God King's army, Huge, majestic, and unstoppable, neither humans, elves, or monsters can parry it. Just when the Demon King's ambition is about to be realized, Gelfrat with the golden bow and silver blade, the most skilled warrior of the elves, embarks on a grand journey. On the journey to the Seat of Clouds, he crossed the Red River where even feathers would sink, and Mount Vasco, which was as smooth as a jewel, and finally got the approval of Shenlong, who took him to the Seat of Clouds, and at the beginning Before Friedrich the End, the most powerful creature in the world also bowed his head."

"Friedrich of the beginning and the end was awakened from a thousand-year slumber by Gelfrath of the golden bow and silver blade. He asked Friedrich of the beginning and the end to give the end to the demon king who violated the will of the Creator, The beginning will be given to children who follow the principles of creation. Friedrich rejected Gelfrath's request, because the beginning and the end are one and inseparable. The beginning is the end, and the end is also the beginning. Wolfrath thought for three days, and said to Friedrich that although beginnings and endings are inseparable, there can be thousands of beginnings, and there are thousands of endings corresponding to beginnings. He asked the world of shadows The beginning and end of the world of harmony and reason were separated, and the two became independent beginning and end. Friedrich agreed to Gelfrath's request, but at the same time, he demanded a reward from Gelfrath. Eternal and everlasting love of Wolfrat."

"Huh?" Jill, who was drowsy at first, raised his head suddenly when he heard the last sentence, and looked at the bard suspiciously. He was still talking about the life and death of the three magnificent races, but why did he suddenly involve the topic of eternal life? love?In other words, isn't the one who defeated the Demon King in the end not the Demon King's crush, the god of love and day, Herhart? ——No, it seems to be related to love—but before he could react, he saw the children sitting in front, including Ingram, staring fiercely at this person who interrupted their listening to the story Bad guy, Jill stuck out her tongue begging for mercy, motioning for the bard to continue.

"Gelfrath agreed to Friedrich's request, so Friedrich separated two beginnings and endings, separating the beginning of the world of shadows from the end of the world of reason, and the world regained peace. However, Friedrich can exist until the moment of the end of the world. Compared with this, the long hundred-year life of the elves is still too short. Friedrich of the beginning and the end believes that Gelfrat has violated his oath, but The beginning and end that have been separated cannot be taken back. The angry Friedrich came up with a way to make the two parallel cycles have a junction every 3000 years, giving the Demon King a chance to make a comeback. Friedrich left the Seat of Clouds and fell asleep in the place he had agreed with Gelfrat, waiting for the day when the Demon King would make a comeback, and also for the day when Gelfrat would wake him up again. "

The bard plucked the melody of the silver harp that symbolized the end of the story, and the children sitting around exclaimed "wow". Even Ingram shook his sleeves, as if he saw something amazing. The expression of things, only Jill sighed. The version he had heard since childhood was clearly that the Demon King secretly fell in love with Herhart. As a result, Herhart rejected the Demon King's courtship, and the Demon King was ready to take it by force in a rage. In the end, he fell into the trap of the gods and was beheaded by Herhart himself—it was originally like this, but whether it was the version of the bard or the version of the Kievan Rus in the north, Jill realized one thing thing.

That is the love of gods, and the mortals suffer.

This also answered another question for Jill, just like what the shop owner said, according to an unwritten rule, whether it is humans, elves, or even dragons, they will avoid the names of gods when naming their names, and even in some Regions, you can’t even take names related to the gods, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful—among them, there is the Papal State, as a holy place to worship and serve the gods, the Papal State is particularly strict in this regard—could it be said Well, doesn't the pope know that the name Friedrich is the phantom of the god of beginnings and endings?

After Jill thought about it, it was not impossible. After all, in Kievan Rus in the north, there was no such thing as a phantom, and Jill had never heard of the name Friedrich.

"It's amazing, brother, the voice of the elf is really as beautiful as a bird!" On the way, Ingram excitedly held Jill and said.

"...Elves?" Jill was stunned for a moment and asked.

"That's right, I didn't say it at the beginning. I felt that the bard was very strange, but I didn't know what was so strange. Later, when I heard the story he told, I immediately understood that the bard was an elf! Because only in In the creation legends of the elves, the gods only have phantoms! There is no such thing in the creation legends of human beings. I think about it, there are many explanations for this in the book. Therefore, the existence of phantoms cannot be seen, so there are no phantoms in human legends. On the other hand, because human beings are the last race created by gods, phantoms have already left when humans have spiritual intelligence. Spirits don't exist at all..."

"Okay, okay, I know you know a lot. Ingram is really amazing." Jill said and touched Ingram's head. Hold Jill's palm.

"But, Ingram, your middle name is Friedrich, right? Isn't that illegal?"

"Well—although some people have also mentioned this issue to the Pope," Ingram pouted, as if this was not a pleasant memory.

"But the pope said, Ingram, that's Friedrich."
