"You are quiet," Angelica said. Bai En nodded and wrapped the cloak more tightly. The airbag is very cold, and the cold wind is biting. They stood on the spine of the airship and watched the two moons rise in the mountains. This is a strange and strong beauty.

"I was thinking about Warwick. I never knew him, now he is gone." Angelica continued.

"Everyone will die," Bai En said looking at her. He did not know whether the other party could get used to his strong fatalistic tendency. This may be that he was unconsciously affected by Flynn. But he guessed that Angelica, who grew up on the plains of North Kaslov, was used to death early on.

Before he really understood what the world was like, he had not become so strong. He grew up in a small village of only a hundred people, and the people there were very friendly, which gave him great protection. The only real death he realized was when he was nine years old and the night church came to that village. He was too young to really understand.

And he really understands this world and death is in the black tower, his roommate died on his bed, when he was nine or ten years old? He could not remember it, and everything in the Black Tower continued to deepen his understanding of death. When you keep facing the death of the corpse and the people around you, if you do n’t collapse, it ’s hard for you to hold the death anymore-Bai En does n’t know what to say, respect?

Even if the night owl's death didn't seem so to Bai En ... pain and sorrow. But Warwick ’s death was a little different, and Bai En could n’t be sure what was the difference. He can understand the night owl ’s death, he has accomplished his goal, and as the person who killed King Burtania, his story will last forever. But what about Warwick?

"I was thinking, if he knew that today was his last day in this world, what different things would he do today?" Angelica continued to say beside Bai En. "To be honest, I want to know what I will do in this situation."

"Did you draw any conclusions?"

"I might say to you: I love you."

Bai En was surprised to hear Angelica say these words. He knew he wanted to say these things for a while, but he never dared to say them. He didn't know why. He was silent for a long time.

Angelica doesn't know if he heard her. So she turned her head and stared at Bai En.

"I could have said the same thing with you," Bai En said finally. When he said these words, he felt a strange tingling in his stomach. He turned and looked into the distance. At that moment, he felt that he was far away from her, just like he had ever been to anyone.

"Is it possible?" She asked with a smile.

Bai En also smiled and nodded.

"Maybe".

They separated slightly, but their hands gradually joined together and their fingers crossed. The stars overhead shone like ice grains. The ‘Glennell ’s Will’ went on in the dark.

Eisenheim-Schneider looked at the stars through the telescope. "You are right," he said. "That's Spike Star."

Marquesson has made a mark on his chart. He moved the caliper from the point indicating its position to a red dot. "Then the closest place we can find to repair the airship is Slaughterhouse," he said.

"Slaughter Castle?" Eisenheim-Schneider asked.

"Og Harun. City of the King of Killing. This is an eerie place."

"With such a name, I don't expect anything pleasant to meet there."

"At least in terms of repairing the airship, it will do as well as other places, it will."

"I believe it will, Ma Kaisen. You are an expert."

"Yeah, I am."

Ma Kaisen gave a loud command to the call tube. Slowly, like a dying whale, the ‘Glennell ’s Will’ responded, opening a new route to the city that belonged to the King of Slaughter in the mountains.

Bai En and Angelica are standing on the command deck of the ‘Glennell ’s Will’. In front of them, on this clear morning, the Slaughterhouse was gloomy and ominously waiting in the morning light in the mountains. It is a huge fortress, carved from the rock on the top of the mountain. Its buildings are not so much built, they are carved out of bare rocks. Only the exterior walls are different. They are made of stones wrapped in large pieces of lichen. This stone looks as old as the mountains.

Anyway, the mountain where Ogharen is located is not the highest mountain in the area itself, but it is completely different from the surrounding environment. Between two higher and more majestic mountains, it overlooks a huge valley. A river flows under it. Borrek once told Baine that there was a forest in the valley, but it was cut down a long time ago and used to fuel the furnaces of the Slaughterhouse.

Below the city are some of the deepest, darkest, and most dangerous mines in all dwarf kingdoms. There are many deposits of coal and iron, which were mined before humans established an empire. They provided raw materials for the steel factory of Killing Fortress. Ogharen Steel enjoys a good reputation in the dwarf kingdom and human land, and can be used to make the best axe. A large amount of polluted black smoke enveloped the city.

Bai En has never seen such a formidable place. This is a fortress made of rough stones. Bai En knew that the dwarves were proud of their masonry, and he could only guess that the rough appearance of the building was some form of statement. Ogharen showed the primitive instinct of the dwarf stout. This is a castle specially designed for defense. A place meant to endure siege. An outpost in an extremely dangerous place. He didn't particularly like its appearance.

He could already see the dwarf warriors gathered on the city wall. Various war machines are arranged around them. He can only guess that ballistas, trebuchets and other things are turning towards them. Although Borek insisted on flying the dwarf rune flag under the ‘Glennell ’s Will’, the residents of the Slaughterhouse saw it as a potential threat.

Bai En understands the meaning. If this airship appears over any city on Fatalin Island, even if it hangs the flag of Amenganong himself, it will cause the same panic.

Under the watch of Bai En, the last rotorcraft flew past the airship and flew towards the city. This is a machine that can be recognized by any dwarf. It sends a message to Kragardin-Ladug, the 'slayer.' He is the king of gray dwarves and is also known as the king of slaughter. Mackason reversed the engine of the 'Grennell's Will' and let it hover beyond the range of the war machine below, waiting for permission.

"A terrible place." Bai En said to Angelica. She nodded in agreement. Since talking last night, they have avoided each other strangely. He can't speak on her behalf, but he is relatively new to all this. Since that man died in the hands of the Church of the Night, he has no strong emotional attachment to anyone.

"It may also be a good thing, Mr. Bai En," Borrek said in his chair. He looked up at Bai En, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, and all the joy of victory after finding Gunter Grimm had disappeared from his eyes. "If you know its history, you will know more. Compared to other dwarven strongholds, the Slaughterhouse has suffered more siege. It is a place of worship for the God of Slaughter and a holy place for Dular. He is The most bloodthirsty **** among all our ancestors. In fact, many oath takers eventually chose to believe in him "

"You said Dular is bloodthirsty." Angelica asked. "So, does he accept sacrifices from living people?"

"Only the lives of those who want to kill him and those who adore him. He uses their death to pay for their sins. And their hair."

After hearing these words, Bai En remembered some of the stories about the gray dwarfs he saw in the book. The gray dwarves are the most immersed among the dwarves' clans, and they are constantly searching for more wealth buried underground. Some of them even say that the gray dwarves are always looking for something they cannot find.

And immersed in digging underground, eventually cost them. The old, weak and sick are the first to die, and only the strongest people who can survive in the deepest underground are left, because it is too long to see the sun, Their skin began to turn gray. Then something seemed to happen to them, so they returned to their castle from the deepest ground again and began to believe in Durar.

During this period, Bai En has not seen it in any book, and no one seems to really know what happened to the Grey Dwarf. However, the gray dwarves are indeed the best recognizable among the dwarves. Most of them have off-white skin and the same color hair. The most important thing is that the gray dwarves will shave their hair.

Borek must have noticed the look of horror across Bae ’s face, because he added: “Most oathbreakers make a wish at the Dular altar below, where they shave their hair and beard And then burn them in a large furnace. Outside is a street belonging to tattoo artists, and their first tattoo was tattooed there. "

"Where did Guerrero take the oath?" Angelica asked. Bai En tilted his head. This question also flashed in his mind.

"I don't think so. As far as I know, he has never been to this city, although I don't know all his actions."

"So, is he really an oath-breaker?" Angelica asked. Borek smiled.

"It doesn't matter where a dwarf swears and shaves his hair and beard. When he chooses to be an oathbreaker, he can do this. Initially, the oathbreakers of the dwarves did not believe in Dular, nor was he God of oaths. In fact, at first, most oaths keep their original beliefs, and some people will abandon their beliefs. But with the passage of time, some of them found that Durar ’s faith was more Suitable for an oath taker, so many people choose to swear in Durar ’s temple ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ just for form. Eventually, by now, most oath takers will come here to swear and then their names It will be carved on the large pillar in the temple, so that everyone can know the news of their death. "

"But they are not dead yet," Angelica said.

"Not yet. But for family and friends, for the clan and the furnace, a dwarf was dead at the moment he was sworn in as an oathbreaker. This may also be the reason why Grerogan chose you as the recorder, Mr. Bai En , Because he has not engraved his name on the pillar of grief. "

"I don't understand what you mean," Bai En said.

"If he falls in a distant place, and no dwarf can witness, no one will know his deeds. A recorder will bring us his death and see his name engraved on the pillar."

"That's not what he wanted me to do." Bai En was very sure of this. The original meaning of Grerogan was that he wanted to write a biography for him to record his great death. Instead of engraving his name on a pillar.

Borrek smiled a bit sourly. "Solrion's son never obeyed the rules before he became an oathbreaker. He was very eager for fame. I think to some extent he is still like this."

Bai En was about to ask more, and suddenly a dull roar came from a distance, interrupting him.

"What is that?" He asked. "Are we attacked?"

Borrek's face showed a bitter smile. "I think the King of Slaughter has received news of the success of our mission. You heard cheers."
