It wasn't until the plague broke out and famine struck.

It was a rainy night, and Thor woke up from hunger to get some well water in the backyard.

In the distance, Thor saw the head nun Melissa guarding the door of the firewood room with the oil lamp hanging on it, exchanging words with a mercenary-looking man beside her, as if she was planning something.

After a while, the mercenary turned and walked into the wood room.

Thor didn't know why Melissa, the wicked woman, was here late at night, so he didn't rush into the other party's line of sight, but lay down in a low-lying area far away that was not covered by light.

It didn't rain much that night, but it was the biggest rain in Saul's life.

Through the sound of the drizzling rain, Thor faintly heard Presia's mournful screams coming from the wood room, accompanied by the lewd laughter of several men.

In an instant, Thor knew what was happening, and in addition to Melissa, there were at least three or four mercenaries in the firewood room who had been rolling in the dark wilderness all year round.

As for the reasons for attracting these mercenaries, Precia's beauty, popularity, or casual attitude, Melissa's vicious woman's mind must be full of too many reasons.

Angry, flustered, irritable, and all sorts of emotions swirling in his mind, Thor quickly stood up, wanting to do something.

But he suddenly realized with sorrow that now that all those who could run under the famine had run away, and that there was only a group of vulnerable nuns and orphans left in the monastery, it was impossible for him to call any helpers in such a situation where everyone was in danger.

Eventually, Thor rushed out alone, ready to defend something with his life, but after a few steps he forcibly stopped.

It was the first time in his life that he was not afraid of life and death, but he realized that he couldn't die here yet.

Who can you win?

After all, it's just a meaningless sacrifice.

It's a pity that I am too weak in my early tens, at this age of powerlessness, behind all the imaginary strength, there is only a fragile and cruel reality.

He smiled sadly and went back to the low-lying place to lie down.

"I will live, I will endure, wait for the opportunity, they will all die, and none of them will escape. I'll ......" With blood-red eyes, Thor silently repeated the words in his heart like a madman, his bleeding fingers digging deep into the ground.

He did not choose to leave, but forced himself to see this scene in his eyes, listen to it in his ears, and engrave it in his bones and blood.

From beginning to end, he lay motionless in the cold rain, as quiet as a corpse.

——————

At this point, the narrative finally stops.

Hughes finally understood why, from the beginning of knowing each other, Thor's whole person has always given him the illusion that he is abnormal and has a devil in his heart, and finally understands what Thor's crazy training that is almost self-torturing is for.

Although he didn't witness that scene with his own eyes, Shoguez could roughly understand Saul's mood and choices at that time.

This choice is very difficult, and when a person is no longer afraid of death, you are actually close to invincibility.

But you can't fight hard, kill, destroy, you can only swallow your sadness and anger with tears, and then endure the inner torment, silently waiting for an opportunity that may not be possible in the future.

What kind of mood did he have lying there at that time?

The air at the bottom of the well was so oppressive that it was impossible to breathe.

Xiugues subconsciously tugged at the placket of his clothes, but this did not make him much easier, but instead ignited a wave of anger of unknown origin in his heart, which made him feel the urge to destroy or kill something.

It's too heavy, something has to be said.

"You and Precia ......"

As soon as he said that, Shogues wanted to slap himself, and he seemed to have chosen a damn topic in his hurry, and he should say something else to divert Thor's attention at this moment.

As if alarmed by Shogues's voice, Thor finally relented from his statuestalt stiffness.

It was only now, after more than a year, that he had regained the courage to return to that rainy night, and normally, he didn't even dare to think about it carefully.

It turned out that I never came out of that night.

Let the sadness spread unscrupulously on his face, Thor slowly spoke.

"There has never been a relationship in this world for no reason, sister, heterosexual, friend, mentor, in fact, I can't tell what position she occupies in my heart. ”

"There was a time when I fantasized that when I grew up, I would be her shield, standing in front of her, and I would be her shadow and follow her, no matter how bad I was. ”

"But in fact, when danger came, I was just a humble ant, trembling in the mud, and I could only watch this beauty be buried in cruelty and filth. ”

"Can you imagine? They insulted her, and then stuffed her into the pot, and in the end I didn't even get her bones back. ”

"Heh~~, I guessed the beginning and the end, but I was powerless to change the process, I hated myself for not having the power in time. ”

"She is such a dazzling person, even if her eyes do not belong to you in the future, but no matter when, no matter where she is, even if she is walking in the abyss or even endless despair, as long as you remember that she is still alive and living somewhere, this is already a warm and beautiful thing in itself. ”

"There is enough darkness in this world, why should even this last bit of beauty be annihilated?"

"God is a dog shit, and even his own believers cannot be sheltered. ”

"This hatred will be borne by me for the rest of my life until I cease to exist. ”

"I'm struggling to survive to this day, not for some bullshit justice. This is a bloody sacrifice that I have been waiting for for a long time, and she is the last light in this dark world in my eyes, even if the goddess is in the world. ”

"I can't scream, I can't scream, I can't wail, the only thing I can do is blood for blood, tooth for tooth. ”

"Since God has chosen to stand idly by, it is up to me to harvest them. ”

Thor's voice became more and more intense, gradually becoming distorted and out of control, and the extremely suppressed anger made his whole body tremble a little, looking like an extremely unstable magical element, which could explode violently at any time.

The kind of hatred in his words, the kind of unending violence, made Xiugs suddenly have the illusion that the cold winter did not go far.

And Hughes is also keenly aware that Saul is referring to 'them', which means that Saul has a whole list of revenge in his heart, and Melissa is just the beginning.

Hughes was silent.

At this point, it is true that only blood can be soothed.

After a moment of silence, Thor finally calmed down and reverted back to the man Shogues knew.

"The past is a foregone conclusion, so the road in front of me now is not complicated, either remembering the past in sadness or planning for the future in anger. ”

Shugues tilted his head to stare at Thor before exhaling deeply.

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Thor turned his head to look at Shogues.

"Are you sure you're on my side?"

Shogues shrugged and joked.

"Do your best, I'm just an orphan anyway, a thief who doesn't listen. Now that I know about your plan, who knows if you don't get involved, if you guys are going to concoct something disgusting and poison me. ”

Shogoth's answer made Thor both grateful and entangled, he actually hoped to get Shogoth's help, in addition to Shogoth's personal ability, the Thieves' Guild behind him also had good connections and intelligence sources, but .......

Revenge is a bitter path, and it is enough to walk alone.

"It's incredibly dangerous, and I don't want to drag people down. I wasn't going to tell you if you hadn't found out, but it seems good that you know now, so that if I disappear one day, at least you know where I've gone. ”

After listening to Thor's words, Shoggs suddenly jumped up irritably, tore the placket of Thor's shirt and roared at him:

"Heh... You don't want to drag people down, maybe in the eyes of everyone around us we're just two bastards living together, but at least you know that I'm your brother!

In the darkness, Thor's fists clenched.

Brother, what a warm word, enough to burn people's hearts.

Words like friends and brothers are often used on people's lips, and these terms seem to be used as a form of social etiquette or a means to quickly bring people closer together.

But when these words appear in a different scene, they are so thick.

This surging warmth made Thor very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Why would you want to be a thief?"

Although the two have been together for a long time, this is the first time Saul has asked about Shogues's original intention.

Faced with this question, Xiugues's expression appeared with a rare calm, and his eyes seemed to look far away.

"In fact, everyone in this world is a thief, someone steals someone else's heart, someone steals someone else's life,...... And I'm just trying to steal some money. ”

Looking at Shogues's sudden heightened appearance, Thor sighed slightly.

"It's a shame that if you peeked at Precia taking a bath, you would pass out with happiness and your life would reach new heights. ”

Saul's unprepared words instantly tore apart Shogues's composure.

"Uh......"

Xiugues knew that if he really dared to peek, he might have been quietly killed by Thor, but at this moment he couldn't help but imagine it in his heart.

After a few moments, he looked up with a sad look on his face, as if he had missed something important in his life.

The fierce look in his eyes was like a vicious dog that had broken free from its chains, ready to pounce and bite Thor to death.
