英雄之路 Hero's Path: 【2】（上）箭在弦上 Arrow on the string
穿著棕色皮衣的男人走入酒吧，點了一杯酒後坐在角落，拿著一份小鎮日前印刷的報紙，標題為：『拉洛克小鎮目前陷入猛獸襲擊危機！』，內容為最近發生的事件。男人輕嘆一口氣，不遠處一幹人等正在商討猛獸襲擊的應對方案。
皮爾：「看來我們要勸鎮長向每戶派發武器」，麥非：「不如乾脆封城建立圍牆吧，猛獸就進不來了。「哈哈」，穿著綠衣服的同伴笑了：「你們太天真了，不止是猛獸的問題吧，我看這是羅勒鎮和謝爾頓鎮長串通的把戲，目的就是佔據拉洛克小鎮。」，另外兩人聽完後更是目瞪口呆：「怎麼可能」「小伙子，你想得太誇張了」。其他酒吧客附和：「鎮長怎麼會這樣做。」
酒吧老闆默默調酒，把剛調好的酒放在桌上，穿著棕色皮衣的男人拿起酒杯緩緩喝下，試探性地開口道：「你怎樣看」，酒吧老闆耐人尋味地一笑：「最重要的是記得多送些生存物資進來，別讓我們餓死。」，男人將剩下的酒一飲而盡，左手放下酒杯，右手擦走沾到下巴胡鬚的一滴酒，轉頭就走，聽到細聲低呼：「活著回來」
練靶場，謝爾頓鎮長盯著靶心，一弓即發，正中紅心。警長在旁拍拍手掌：「果然是鎮長，實力非凡。」，拿起背上的弓並發，沒有射中靶心，謝爾頓鎮長說道：「說吧，你打算怎麼處置牠們」。「自然是滅絕。」，手上並發出三枝弓，這次射中靶心。
少年癱坐在地上，望著當日拾起的銀牌，思索到底是什麼人要追殺自己，還是黑衣人認錯了目標。拾起這塊銀牌的原因是為了防止再被追殺，只要持符說不定可以逃過一劫⋯⋯
現時每日頓留在家中無所事事、漫漫目的地生活，除了吃飯就是睡覺，少年忍不住崩潰大叫：「啊！這種生活我受夠了！」。
一位老年男人從門邊走進來，「萊特，你真的受夠這種生活了？」，少年堅定地點頭：「是的，爺爺。」，老人家呵呵地笑了：「那麼你可願意保護拉洛克？」。
少年猶豫地說：「我沒有這個能力⋯⋯」
老年人點了點頭，從背後拿出一把家傳寶劍，「沒關係，那就去學習吧，你的舅父以前可是名震江湖的劍客，只是現在隱退了。」
「可是爺爺，舅父這幾年像隱身了一樣，他回到拉洛克了嗎？」
「英雄的責任就是捍衛家園，他一定會回來的。」
老年人說罷一切就回去了，少年雙眼放光望著剛得到的寶劍，難道真的要成為劍客？！寶劍鑄著一道閃電的紋路，拔開略為生銹的劍鞘後，銀色亮白的刀鋒仍是閃爍著銳利的光芒，似是雄彰顯某位英雄的偉業。
The man in a brown leather jacket walked into the bar, ordered a drink and sat in the corner, holding a newspaper that the town had recently printed, with the title: The town of Laroque is currently in crisis of beast attacks! , the content is recent events. The man sighed softly. Not far away, a group of people were discussing a plan to deal with the beast's attack.
Pierre: "It seems we have to persuade the mayor to distribute weapons to every household." McFei: "Why don't we just close the city and build a wall so that wild beasts can't get in. "Haha", the companion in green clothes laughed: "You guys It's too naive. It's not just about the beasts. I think this is a conspiracy between Basil Town and Mayor Sheldon. The purpose is to occupy the town of Larocque." After hearing this, the other two people were even more stunned: "How is that possible? "Young man, you are exaggerating." Other bargoers echoed: "How could the mayor do this?"
The bar owner silently mixed the drinks and placed the newly mixed wine on the table. The man in brown leather jacket picked up the wine glass and drank it slowly. He tentatively said: "What do you think?" The bar owner smiled intriguingly: "The last The important thing is to remember to bring in more survival supplies, don't let us starve to death." The man drank the remaining wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass with his left hand, wiped away the drop of wine on his chin beard with his right hand, and turned around. As he walked, he heard a soft whisper: "Come back alive" and the man walked out of the bar.
At the shooting range, Mayor Sheldon stared at the bull's-eye, fired his bow, and hit the red heart. The Sheriff clapped his hands and said, “You are indeed the mayor. powerful." He picked up the bow on his back and fired it, but he missed the target. Mayor Sheldon said, "Tell me, what do you plan to do with them." "Natural means extinction." He fired three bows and hit the bull's-eye this time.
The young man collapsed on the ground, looking at the silver medal he picked up that day, wondering who was chasing him, or whether the man in black had mistaken the target. The reason why picked up this silver medal is to prevent being hunted down again. As long as hold the talisman, might be able to escape...
Now stays at home round the clock, only eats and sleeps everyday. The young man couldn't help but break down and yelled: "Ah! I've had enough of this kind of life!".
An elderly man walked in from the door, "Wright, are you really fed up with this kind of life?" The young man nodded firmly: "Yes, Grandpa." The old man chuckled: "Then are you willing to protect Larocque? "
The young man said hesitantly: "I don't have this ability..."
The old man nodded and took out a family sword from his back, "It doesn't matter, then go and learn. Your uncle used to be a famous swordsman, but he has retired now."
"But grandpa, uncle seems to have become invisible in the past few years. Has he returned to Larocque?"
"Hero's duty is to defend his homeland. He will definitely come back."
The old man said everything and went back. The young man looked at the sword he just got with bright eyes. Did he really to become a swordsman? ! The sword was cast with a lightning pattern. After pulling out the slightly rusty scabbard, the bright silver blade still shone with sharp light, seeming to highlight the great deeds of a certain hero.
