Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

~ Episode 10 ~

It was really hard to find you.

For what matter are you looking for me?

We aren't that close.

Hero, spare my life. Does this work?

Hero, spare my life.

By the rules of Jianghu,

beg and you should be forgiven.

What rules of Jianghu? Yours or mine?

Don't mind if it's your rules or my rules.

As long as you promise not to kill me,

I'll tell you now the whereabouts of those three men you are looking for.

Okay.

Where are they?

Hey, this is an agreement. Okay?

You must promise that you'll let me go first

and I'll tell you where they are.

Hurry and say it!

You agreed then.

Clouds Harbor.

Clouds Harbor?

Yes.

Okay then. I'll be going now.

We won't leave without seeing each other.

Wait.

Do you know the rules or not?

I already begged for forgiveness. I'm going now.

If it's based upon the rules of Jianghu,

how am I suppose to count that canon that you fired on me?

What is our relationship?

You're getting off the main point. I'm leaving then. - Don't move!

What item do you still have to exchange for this?

Let me tell you. If I dig out the Magic Star, you must let me go.

It's not here.

None. I can't find it anymore.

Where is it?

Lord Qian... Hero Qian...

Master Qian, can we rest for a while?

I really can't walk further anymore.

How about let's change for a while?

You ride the horse and I'll walk at the back.

Then forget it. Forget it.

It's good to walk. It's good to walk.

This... This chain is too tight. I can't breathe.

Won't it get loose if you just cut off your head?

Forget it. Forget it.

Really, when will you release me?

After you've told me where the Magic Star is.

Don't give me incessant nonsense.

I don't have any.

How could I have a Magic Star?

Let's not talk about Magic Stars for now.

I'm hungry.

Okay. There's a house in front.

Go ask where we can get something to eat.

We have no money.

Weren't you a mountain bandit before?

Do you still need money to eat?

These are two different things.

We bandits are very keen on rules.

Let's not eat then. - Don't.

I'll go. I'll go. I'll go.

Is there anyone home?

Is there anyone home?

Anyone?

You are...?

I just passed by.

Who is it?

Just want to rest here for a while and ask for something to eat.

Really so sorry.

Look. My wife will soon give birth.

We also don't have much food inside our home.

Here... is water.

You two drink some water first.

I'm about to deliver.

Midwife! Midwife! Hurry!

Coming. Coming.

Let's get inside the house.

Slowly.

Older Bro Wang and his wife are really so blissful. Isn't that so?

If I am able to live a life like this,

I won't even exchange it for a mountain of gold.

Speaking honestly, we both have a hard life.

You are an assassin while I am a bandit.

We look free and easy, isn't that so?

But the truth is we live in danger.

Maybe one day...

we won't be able to see the next day's sun.

It was your own choice to be a mountain bandit.

What's the use of saying those words now?

Why did I become a mountain bandit?

Who is born a mountain bandit?

Why indeed did I become a bandit?

I remember that when I was little, my mother and I were chased by our enemies.

I hid into a village.

Our days were initially quite peaceful.

During my thirteen-year-old winter,

who knew there came a group of bandits.

I resisted vigorously,

yet I got abducted up to the mountains.

Then where did your mother end up afterwards?

When I escaped and went down the mountain to find my mother,

they had pushed her down the cliff.

That's why I must offer those bastards' head to my mother!

But a dead person can't be revived.

If not because my enemies sought revenge,

why would I end up being a bandit?

Don't talk about me anymore. How about you?

Is your mother still alive?

Does she know that you're an assassin now?

She has delivered! She has delivered! My wife...

My wife has bore me a son!

Have you given him a name?

None yet. I just gave him a nickname for now.

I'll just look for a fortune teller to give him a name later.

You two must be hungry already, aren't you?

I have some chicken eggs inside my house.

I prepared it for my wife.

I'll go get some for you two to eat.

Here. Don't be courteous.

Please.

I won't entertain you two anymore.

I'll go look at my son first.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Untie me and I'll go help them.

What does someone having a child have to do with you?

Moreover, the child has just been born.

We are people with very strong murderous spirit.

It is better to stay far away.

Let's go. Let's go catch wild rabbits.

King Black Dragon, that princess girl looks so weak.

Is she really a demon exterminator that's way stronger than you?

If I hadn't personally seen it,

I wouldn't believe it, either.

A demon exterminator is the same as an ordinary person before the age of 15.

When I was in the Royal Palace that day,

it happened be her 15th birthday;

so I was fortunate to see her moment of showing her demon exterminator power.

But right then, she hadn't been awakened yet.

The doughtiness of her body wasn't stirred up.

She actually didn't know who she was.

But I can sense the extreme power inside her.

Too bad. I wasn't able to bring her back that time.

I'll go look for her now.

Hey, do you only know to wait there to eat?

Don't you know to come over and help?

I'm skilled in robbery.

But hunting, I really don't know how to do it.

If you asked me to make a fire,

don't you believe that I might burn everything here in a short time?

Then what can you do?

Eat.

Hey, say...

I already told you my secrets.

You should tell me your secrets, too, right?

Sure. What do you want to know then?

Any. Just tell me what you want to say.

What if I tell you that I actually don't like being an assassin?

Would you believe me?

Actually, the most cruel aspect for an assassin

is that even if you've won a thousand times,

it doesn't guarantee that you'll definitely win the next time

because you can never afford to lose your life.

Aren't you doing well now?

My everyday right now is just borrowed

because ten years ago, I had already died once.

At that time, just for a huge amount of reward,

I had an armageddon with a Dongying citizen.

We fought for three days and three nights.

Lord Yi Shou, just surrender.

You're already too weak to fight.

Surrender?

We can talk about it if you kill me right now.

How did you do it?

I came out of retirement because of that person.

Where did he bring you?

It was a branch of the Department of Heaven Strategy at Shuzhong.

I cured my wounds there.

After my wounds got better,

I helped them organize some information there.

I also learned to play the zither around that time.

For them, I was just a person from beyond the border.

When I wanted to look for my benefactor,

after my wounds were completely healed,

the rebellion in the Department of Heaven Strategy happened unexpectedly.

Any place related to the Department of Heaven Strategy

was all dissolved.

As they say, when the tree falls, the monkey will scatter.

There was none available to ask for information at that time.

After thinking thoroughly, I realized that I could only do one thing.

What did you do?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki

Why did you do that?

I wanted everyone to know the truth behind the Rebellion of the Department of Heaven Strategy.

The Department of Heaven Strategy wasn't a group of criminals.

Thus, there must be some secret behind it.

Too bad. People in this world only believe what they want to believe.

They don't really care about what the truth is behind things.

You said it right.
