The decision to retreat was also based on this.

It's impossible to go on like this... The first night of the war has just passed, and I don't know how long it will last. He has to rely on his own strength to survive.

He gasped.Everything in the room swayed slightly with the slightly swaying cruise ship.There was a cold wind blowing in the corridor.The door was not closed securely.Holding a blanket in one hand and a cane in the other, the boy slowly got out of bed.When he was about to lock the door, the door was suddenly pushed open by a small force.

"Who's out there?" the boy said.

At first I thought it was the crew on the ship, but now that it was past midnight, there was no way a crew would bother me.

"Good evening, no—it should be midnight, young master." Someone said outside the door, it was a strange male voice.

"Don't come in, I won't allow it." Haierwen freed his hand to fumble for something in his pocket.If the comer is hostile, he will attack with bugs.

The man hesitated for a moment, and let go of the push on the door.

"'You can't take your heart out without knowing the other person's details-Honoré de Balzac, 1799-1850.' I can understand your apprehension. Take it easy, young master, I don't malicious."

Helvin opened the door a crack, wanting to see what this weird-spoken guy looked like.It was a middle-aged man.The short golden-gray hair is wrapped around the head, looking very energetic.The outline of the face gives people a sense of toughness and toughness. He looks about 35 or [-] years old.If you look closely, his gray eyes are not very energetic. It seems that his eyesight is not good, and his lower eyelids have bags under his eyes.

"who are you?"

The man raised his right hand, took off the white glove covering it, and showed the Command Seal to the boy.

"You are also... the master?"

"This is to show the sincerity of my visit. I am one of the seven masters, my name is Rod Hawke, and I am from England." After putting on his gloves again, the man thought about it, and felt that these were not enough, and then Said, "My servant is Archer."

"How did you get here?"

"It's Archer's ability."

"you know me?"

"A person's appearance, clothing, temperament, behavior, actions, language, etc., can all reveal his identity. It just so happens that I am relatively proficient in this. According to my guess, you should be born in a wealthy civilian family, oh, more Maybe it’s a family of declining nobles—a family of magic? There are nanny who surround you but are scolded by you, harsh and unreasonable parents, rich clothes and good food, and worries and sorrows. Maybe your family is in decline. The situation at home is a bit embarrassing, but both you and your family are still eager to regain the glory of the past. I want to ask, am I right?"

The blond boy laughed dryly, "I don't believe you can analyze so much through face-to-face Kung Fu... You must have investigated me. What is your purpose here?"

"That's all based on my judgment in the field of literature and education for many years, and it's also mixed with my life experience. Please don't question too much. Purpose? This word is not very appropriate. I need a comrade-in-arms to advance and retreat together. So Speak, young master. I want to join forces with you, and in this Holy Grail War, you join hands with me."

"I don't need any cooperation."

"You need it, young master. I learned that your servant participated in the battle early yesterday morning."

"Who told you? You were there too?" Heerwen suddenly stepped up to the man, and the door was almost completely opened.He repeated again with an emphasis, "Who told you?"

"Young master, you have to keep your voice down. It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and the guests are already fast asleep."

"As long as you answer me." The boy lowered his voice.

"I have already answered, my servant has this ability."

"I want to know the specifics."

"Have you ever heard of 'clairvoyance'? This is the skill of Archer as an archer. At that time, we were ambushing on the bridges in the north, not to mention the Charles Bridge, and we even had a panoramic view of the cruise ship. You have been Lying on the deck to observe the battle, am I wrong?"

Helvin fell silent.The man's unreserved sincerity undoubtedly won the boy's goodwill to some extent, and made him temporarily relax his vigilance.

"What? Your reply to the proposal is...? I mean it. You see, I don't even mind if you don't tell me my name."

"I have to know the reason why you want to join forces with me. When I agree, it's not too late to report my name!"

"Let's be honest. I really like your courage. The provocative first battle, before Saber and Berserker did not cause mutual damage, all masters dared not send servants, including me. Only you did that. You What you did is very likely to make you a target of public criticism, so you need help. Of course, I don't want to hide it. Rider's strength really surprised me. If she didn't have any strength, I wouldn't come here. But , The most important point is that your body looks really weak, and it is really unfair to you to bear the burden of the Holy Grail War alone at such a young age. Such a burden should be borne by us adults."

Originally, Rod Hawk's persuasion was almost about to work.But at this moment, Hai Erwen heard the silence.

"That's none of your business!" He swung the crutch in his right hand across his chest and pushed the man, causing him to take several steps back.Deliberately ignoring the soreness on his wrist, the blond boy was a little sullen, "No, I don't accept your proposal! Get out of here. I can handle this battle myself!"

"So, that's your answer?"

"Yes."

"'An uninvited guest is welcome only after he has taken his leave. -William Shakespeare, 1564-1616.'"

"Yes! As long as you know! Late-night visitors shouldn't be welcomed." As he spoke, he lowered his head and coughed a few times.

The blond-haired man nodded and said, "I understand, excuse me. Rest well, young master." Then he turned and disappeared into the darkness.

"Don't come again..." Haierwen said to himself.He tugged on the slippery blanket and closed the door.

Back on the bed, Hai Erwen couldn't recover for a long time.He hated others talking about his body the most in his life, even to the point of hating it!For him, the word body is a taboo, a scar on his heart that cannot be touched no matter what.

What should I do next?

He knew he should accept the offer.Now, he must strengthen his power.

But he refused.

Not just because of the ban.For some reason, the magician left Heilvin with the first impression—uncomfortable, and I can't say why it was uncomfortable.

Forget it... Now that you have rejected it, don't think about it.The blond boy climbed onto the bed at his own urging.He decided to sleep and rest up for a night.Although he can't sleep.

And someone didn't want him to fall asleep—

The hull suddenly shook violently!Haierwen opened his closed eyes in panic.

What happened?River waves?

--No!It's an enemy attack!

Something hit the cruise ship, not just one, many.Numerous impacts caused the cruise ship to vibrate violently!

Those things penetrated the body of the cruise ship, and there were many large holes in the iron hull for no reason.Those holes are like mockers from hell.They crawled up his calves from under the bed, and they strangled his neck tightly...

In the weightless space that was shaking so much that it was almost nauseating, it took Helvin a long time to see the incoming object clearly.

—It was a spear, countless spears!

In the room where he was, a long gash had been drawn through the hull of the ship.More cracks followed.The rivets loosened and fell off due to the impact, and the cabin began to flood.

Still shooting!Spears, spears, spears, spears, spears, spears, spears, spears, spears! !Countless spears were thrown! ! ! …………

The floor was cracked and wounded, all the displays were smashed to pieces, wood chips flew and scratched blood on his hands, glass shards cut his toes, the river water poured into his mouth and nose, submerged his body, and felt suffocated...

Severe pain, fear, and shock even stronger than these.

Spears were strafing from all directions, like lightning in the wilderness.Roaring like thunder,

One after another chopped down towards the sky, piercing through the living target on the water.

The cruise ship tilted slowly.Because of the inclination the river keeps pouring in more and more water.The hull could not support the weight and was finally dragged mercilessly below the water level.

In less than 2 minutes, the scarred cruise ship sank to the bottom of the river.Helpless cries and cries for help came from the dark river...

He didn't know how many people died.

Many people may still be asleep, and they don't even know what happened, and their lives were taken away silently.And no one will know who was implicated to cause this catastrophe!

He struggled desperately, tried his best to shout, and more water was poured into his throat, making him unable to make a sound.

At the bottom of the black water, blood was spreading silently, like a bright red ribbon, drawing a meandering trace along the way.

He felt like he was going to die.

The moment he closed his eyes, he saw a petite shadow.

A bridge, called the Francis Chain Bridge, is located south of Charles Bridge, and is the closest to the surviving pleasure boats of the not so long ago.

The silver-gray silk thread is hard to distinguish with the naked eye. It is wound several times on the pier, and the other end is connected to a man's wrist—there is no trace of depression in the skin on it.
