Chapter 157 The Truth About Hamel
Estier's room is still the same as before, but there are two more hunters at the door who are in charge of monitoring.

"Joining the "Association", can I meet Joshua again? It is indeed very possible. Besides, I don't need to treat them as companions, so I pretend to agree and secretly spy on them. My acting skills It's not great, but it's better than being stuck here"

Xiao Ai scratched her head, thought about it, and walked around the room several times.

"But...I always feel...I can't do this. If I do this, it's too unlike myself."

"Dong Dong." Just when Estier couldn't decide to pay attention, a knock on the door interrupted her chaotic thoughts.

"Excuse me." The hatch opened, and Levi walked in from the door, and Xiao Ai tensed up like a conditioned reflex.

".You don't have to be so on guard." Levi smiled slightly, "As long as you don't act as mindless as you did just now, I won't hurt you."

"Oh, I'm really sorry for being out of my mind." Estier said angrily, "Didn't you just say you were going out, why are you still here?"

"The "Professor" and other executors are out, and I am in charge of the housekeeping."

"What are you going to do?"

"If you want to know, why don't you agree to the invitation of "Professor" first? In this case, it is not impossible to tell you the general situation."

"." Estier lowered his head.

"Hehe. Although I already have the answer in my heart, I am hesitating, right." Levi's gaze is like a sword, just like a heart.

"!!!"

"In my personal opinion, I don't think you are suitable for "Association". Not only in terms of ability, but also your personality is incompatible with this place."

"Hmm~" Estier looked as if he was being poked at the center, "It's so straightforward, it's really direct."

"Of course, there is still an unknown possibility in terms of ability. But the personality is... For the "Association", the dark side in your heart is too narrow." Levi said calmly, "The various members of the "Association", uh Basically, they all have different dark sides in their hearts. Me, the "Professor", and other executors. Of course, Joshua is no exception."

He wanted to use the word "all" at first, but he changed his mind after thinking of a certain girl and her companion who pestered him for sword competitions all day long. No matter how he looked at them, he couldn't find any dark side.

"Hey, "Sword Emperor"" Estier finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "What is the relationship between you and Joshua?"

(Estiel Bright, just the girl who spent years with Joshua. Can such a girl understand the darkness in our hearts?)
".If you know this, you can't keep a look of ignorance. Moreover, you will also touch the darkness in Joshua and my heart. Do you have this kind of awareness?"

(What am I doing, so what if I ask such a girl.)

"...Well, tell me." Estier's voice was not loud, but without the slightest hesitation, "I don't know if I have realized it, but I want to know the trajectory that Joshua has traveled anyway. That's how I really feel."

(Daughter of a hero, let me test the light of her genius.'

"Okay." Levi looked into Estier's eyes, those brown eyes were clear and clean, reflecting his face, "That was ten years ago, and the "Hammel Village" we lived in was still there. what happens when it exists on the map"

————————————————————————————————————————

Hamel Village, a small village on the southern border of the empire, is far away from Ravennu Village on the border of Liber. Although life is not rich, it is also quiet and peaceful. Joshua and Levi lived there until they were 11 years old forward.

At that time, Levi's dream was still to become a guerrilla fighter, practicing swords on the hillside very hard every day, while his childhood sweetheart Kaling and her younger brother Joshua would watch from the sidelines.After the practice, Levi and Joshua lay on the grass, listening to the long melody played by Kaling on the harmonica.Carling is versatile and can play all kinds of tunes, but Joshua and Levi's favorite is the most popular "Abode of the Stars".Such a warm and quiet life will continue forever, and they firmly believe in it.

However, the disaster that fell from the sky shattered their peaceful and pure life.In order to create an excuse to invade Liber, the main fighters of the empire sent hunters disguised as the kingdom's army to attack this small border village, killing, arson, robbery, and rape.After finally escaping from the village, in order to confuse the enemy, Levi stayed behind and let Kaling and Joshua go first.

How could a well-laid conspiracy leave loopholes?The attackers had already laid a net around the village, leaving no one alive.

When Levi arrived, the place was unusually calm.The corpse of the man whose throat was pierced was Joshua who was holding a gun in a daze. There was also Kaling who was stabbed with a knife from shoulder to back but still hugged Joshua desperately.At that time, Carling had her last breath left.For some reason, her expression was stable and satisfied.She struggled to hand over her precious harmonica to Joshua, entrusted Joshua to Levi, and passed away quietly.

Afterwards, the Empire used this as an excuse to start its invasion of Liber, but within a few months it was severely beaten by the guerrilla warfare commanded by Cassius, and under international pressure, the war ended in the Empire's failure.

In order to cover up the self-directed and self-acted tragedy, the main combat faction threatened the two survivors not to tell the truth, and at the same time disguised the whole incident as a robber attack and hastily ended it.And the road leading to Hamel Village was closed on the grounds of mudslides, and the village was completely wiped off the map subtly until the truth was submerged in the torrent of history without leaving any traces.

This is the truth of the "Hammel Incident", a taboo that has not been mentioned until now.

From then on, Joshua became sluggish, playing the harmonica all day long, and gradually lost weight.The death of her sister, relatives, neighbors, the shock of the first murder, and the disappointment with this world full of deceit broke the child who was only 6 years old at the time.In order to treat Joshua, Levi ran around, almost desperate, he accepted Camparella's invitation to join the "Association", and met Wiseman.Wiseman took Joshua away for two years, reshaped his mind, and made him "Black Fang".

This is the trajectory of Joshua, full of ups and downs, sadness, and the malice of the world (Pharaoh accuses).

————————————————————————————————————————

The sound of the rumbling engine resounded through the sky, and the ten tail flames emitted dazzling light. The five red attack boats left the mothership "Grolias" one by one, and scattered in five directions.

Li En and Lisha, Levi and Estier watched this scene in two different rooms, each with different thoughts in their hearts.

Li En: After waiting for a long time, you finally left. Now you can finally let go and make a big fuss.

Lisha: Sure enough, the best way to leave with an airship is that I don't know if I can fly the attack boat of "Association".

Estier: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, five ships went out at once, how many attack boats can be installed here, what is this for?
Levy: Is it finally starting, the third phase of the Gospel project
In addition to them, there is also a red lotus hunter who is silently watching all this.After making sure that Wiseman and the executors had left, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quietly came to a closed electronic door.

There is a square recessed indicator light above the gate, and the color of the light is red now, indicating that the gate is locked.On the right side of the door, there is an induction panel, and the electronic lock of the door can only be unlocked through fingerprint recognition.

The hunter didn't touch the sensor panel with his fingers, but pressed the hidden button on the side very skillfully, and the panel lifted to reveal a password disk.This password disk is an emergency measure, and it can be unlocked by entering the correct password. This password is generally only in the hands of the person with the highest authority and will not be known by others.

Without the slightest hesitation, the hunter quickly pressed the code dial with his right hand. Following his dazzling movements, the indicator light changed to green with a ding, and the door opened.After restoring the sensor panel to its original state, he walked into this place with extremely high authority.

Soon, the door closed and the indicator light turned red again, as if nothing had happened.
