章节目录
共 39 题- THE JEWEL OF BAS
- A WEIRD NOVEL OF FASCINATING POWER
- Ciaran struck a shivering chord from the harp. "That's it."
- He shrugged. "They gabble. I don't waste my time with it."
- He got a little closer to Mouse. "Hello."
- Mouse jerked her head up suddenly. "Kiri--listen!"
- II
- After a while she said, "Kiri--that shadow. We did see it?"
- He said, "Now me."
- Ciaran nudged him. "You--don't make any sign. Game to take a chance?"
- Ciaran said, "Hey!"
- The hunter nodded professionally. "Is a good plan."
- Ciaran groaned. "This is it. Shall we be brave, or just smart?"
- III
- The red hunter said simply, "I'm scared. And this smells like a trap."
- She didn't have, and the hunter nodded. "Is good. Let's go."
- He shivered. "No. He just--doesn't see us."
- IV
- The red hunter said dispassionately, "They come. We go."
- The hunter breathed in his ear, "Quiet! Don't move."
- Again the red giant breathed in his ear: "Look over the edge."
- The other said, "We can, Khafre. We must."
- The red hunter said, "What were they talking about?"
- Ciaran said abruptly, "If you want to kill a snake, what do you do?"
- The hunter shrugged. "I believe in my hands. They're all I know."
- Ciaran said softly, "Lord Bas...."
- Ciaran struck the harp again. "_No!_ Listen...."
- Ciaran's scarred mouth twitched. "The Stone of Destiny...."
- Bas whispered, "It's over. Over and done."
- VI
- Ciaran whispered, "It's too late. They're finished."
- Bas said, "Where are you going?"
- Bas the Immortal said, "Let's go, little man."
- Ciaran shivered. "So they'll be waiting."
- Ciaran cried out, "_Mouse...!_"
- The android whispered, "Stronger! _Hurry!_"
- The android whispered, "_More!_"
- He gestured to a staff. "Bring it, and I'll free your Mouse."
