The red sun rises from the eastern sky, and the golden sunlight dispels the darkness that envelops the land, but it cannot dispel the clouds of war in this land.

On the cliff, Ning Tao overlooked the scene of thousands of people grabbing water below, densely packed with human heads, all kinds of water-filled utensils, no one lined up, and the scene was chaotic. That's enough water for thousands of people for a week, but after a week, they die without water, so everyone wants to store a little more water for themselves and their families when there is still water. As for whether others have water to drink, who cares?

That's human nature.

"What's the use of you saving them? They won't appreciate you, in their eyes, you're really just a heretic, do you know how they deal with the infidels?"

Ning Tao glanced back at Ramsey leaning on a rock in the riverbed, and in the golden morning light, he smiled indifferently: "I saved them because they were in danger, I don't care if they will thank me, and I don't care if they treat me as what you call an infidel." I do things in a way that only seeks justice and a clear conscience. ”

Ramsey shook his head, he obviously didn't understand Ning Tao's words.

Ning Tao walked to Ramsey's side: "You care what they think of me, who cares about you?"

Ramsey suddenly became nervous, Ning Tao didn't kill him, but he didn't let him go. These words and the pain on his body dragged him back to the cold reality, but he couldn't guess what Ning Tao would do with him.

Ning Tao said lightly: "I won't kill you, that's because you still have value." However, if you don't show your value, I won't benefit at all, and I will kill you. ”

"You...... What do you want me to do?" Ramsey's desire to survive intensified after a night of pain and suffering.

Ning Tao said: "Aren't you a spy? You can do things for Nicholas Conti and the Pentagon at the same time, and I think you can do something for me too." ”

Ramsey was surprised: "You want me to be yours...... Spies?"

Ning Tao's voice was slightly cold: "Don't you want to?"

Ramsey hurriedly said: "No, no, I just want to make sure, I'm okay, I can do anything for you." Then, he added, "As long as you don't kill me, I swear, I'll show you my worth." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth, which is why he kept Ramsey.

Even garbage has the value of reuse, let alone a werewolf double agent?

"Last night you mentioned Xerxes, and you said that Xerxes also wanted to get the Black Fire Oil, and I think you must know some stories about Xerxes and tell me about them. Ning Tao said.

Ramsey nodded obediently, then gathered his thoughts before he spoke: "This has to start with my story itself, can it?"

Ning Tao nodded.

Ramsey then continued: "My mother was a slave girl from the time of George I of Greece (1862), and her master was my father, a very old count. One night, he raped my mother, and then my mother became pregnant. But instead of getting a hint of good luck from being pregnant with the Count's child, it was the beginning of a nightmare......"

"My mother's belly grew bigger and bigger day by day, and the old earl finally found out about her pregnancy. He put my mother in a dungeon, and my mother gave birth to me in the dungeon. I'm covered in hair and have werewolf features, but I'm not a pure-blooded werewolf, just a half-werewolf, or half-demon......"

Half-demon, when this word entered Ning Tao's ears, he couldn't help but think about a question in his heart, that is, if he and Qing Chai and Bai Jing gave birth to a child in the future, would it also be considered a half-demon? The child with Qing Chai was half human and half dragon? With Bai Jing's child, if Bai Jing did not succeed in turning into a snake, would he be half human and half snake? And Jiang Hao, although Jiang Hao is also a human being, he is also a new demon, and the child he and Jiang Hao will have in the future, what kind of half-demon is it?

Ramsey continued: "When I was three months old, the old earl bit my mother to death in my presence, poor woman, and she never even heard me call her mother. Because my blood was not pure, the old count abandoned me in a forest. A pack of wolves took me in, and I grew up drinking the milk of a she-wolf. I hunted and played with the wolves, and I grew stronger and stronger. Twenty years later, I found the old earl, and he was still like that. A werewolf can live up to five hundred years, and he probably has a few more decades to live. But I didn't give him that chance, he was too old to be my opponent, I seriously injured him in his castle, and then took him to the basement where he bit my mother to death, I tortured him, and he told me a secret in order to survive......"

Ning Tao was attracted by his story: "Related to Xerxes?"

Ramsey nodded: "Yes, the old count told me that Xerxes led a large army to occupy northern Greece and stole something from the temple of Hera. That was the purpose of his attack on Greece, and it had nothing to do with the territory of the Persian Empire. In the old earl's description, it was a torch. ”

"A torch?" Ning Tao's heart suddenly rose with a sense of absurdity, because he had just thought of the Olympic flame. Each Olympic flame was lit from the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Greece and then passed around the world.

Could it be the original Olympic torch?

This speculation seems absurd to think about.

"Yes, a torch. Hera was the wife of Zeus, and the old count told me that the torch was Hera's artifact, and if lit with earth fire oil, it would guide the dead spirits back to this world. Ramsey was silent for a moment before he said, "I killed the old earl and tore him to pieces." I paid tribute to my mother in that basement, calling the mother I wanted to call twenty years ago. Then I went to the old earl's study and found the secret room hidden behind the wall of the study. I found some ancient books and his research materials in his secret room. The old earl had spent his life searching for that torch, and the earth fire oil. I learned that the torch was called Immortal, and he wanted to use it to summon the leader of a dead werewolf......"

The Torch of Immortality.

Ning Tao remembered the name, and for some reason, he also thought of his father and mother.

The deceased is gone, but if the dead souls can be summoned back and their relatives can be reunited, wouldn't life be perfect?

"I want to find the torch of immortality, I want to light the flame of immortality for my mother, see her again, call her a mother's ......" Ramsey's eyes were full of sadness, "I have been working hard for this for more than a hundred years, in order to find the torch of immortality, I am willing to do anything, and I don't care about the life or death of others." During World War II, I came to the United States based on a clue. Then I met Nicolas Conti, who was very strong. He listened to my story and he said he was willing to help me, but his condition was that I do things for him. I have no better choice, the old count has been looking for hundreds of years and has not found it, how can I easily find the torch of immortality?I need help, so I promised Nicolas Conti to die for him......"

"Did he give you a clue about the Immortal Torch?" Ning Tao asked.

Ramsey said: "Yes, some have been provided intermittently, and I have investigated them all, but most of them are false clues, and occasionally there are real ones, but I can't find out the whereabouts of the Immortal Torch." Not long ago, he gave me a map, and I came here to look for oil for him. ”

"Then did you find anything?" asked Ning Tao.

Ramsey shook his head: "I told you, I didn't lie to you. Nicolas Conti only told me about the area, but even he wasn't sure. He has a treasure trove with many treasure maps, some of which are real treasures, but some of which are also fake treasure maps. I think this is just one of them, in fact, I am not the only one who is looking for spiritual materials and treasures for him, there are many others. ”

No wonder Nikolaas Conti did not come in person, but instead used Ramsey as a decoy and bombarded the Valley of Drinking Horse with Tomahawk missiles. If Nicolas Conti had been sure that there was earth-fire oil or even an immortal torch here, he would have led an army to rob it.

In fact, until now, only Ning Tao has seen Xerxes and his Persian army. Ramsey didn't know, and neither did Nicolas Conti. That's why he stayed in the Valley of the Drinking Horses, and now Ramsey's story has strengthened his curiosity about the canyon and the treasures hidden here.

"I have nothing to tell you suspiciously. Ramsey said.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts: "I'll give you a test." ”

"What test?" said Ramsey, reacting a little nervously.

"There is a non-governmental armed group upstream, and they cut off the flow of water, and you blew up the dam they built, which is also your atonement," Ning Tao said. You did it, and not only will you be able to live, but you will also be qualified to do things for me and continue to pursue your dreams. ”

Ramsey looked at Ning Tao, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate Ning Tao's thoughts.

Ning Tao said: "You took refuge in Nicholas Conti because you needed help, if you have to be a lord, are you willing to believe in Nicholas Conti, or me?"

"You. Ramsey gave the answer without hesitation, and then added: "I would love to gain your trust, but the way I am now...... I can't blow up that dam that is not controlled by the government. ”

Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, took out a strong pinch charm and pasted it on Ramsey's sunken chest. A trace of spiritual power was activated, the spell was chanted, and Ramsey's sunken chest was "pulled" up in a blink of an eye, and then there was the sound of a string of bones moving.

Ramsey's eyes changed when he looked at Ning Tao.

The mana of a vigorous pinching talisman was consumed, Ramsey's broken ribs were all connected, he tried to do a few vigorous chest expansion movements without the slightest pain, he even felt that his muscles and bones were more flexible than before, and the operation of demonic power was smoother than before.

"It's ......," Ramsey didn't know how to describe what he felt in his heart and what he felt in his body.

Ning Tao said: "I am a Xiuzhen doctor, this talisman is just a small meaning, you go, blow up the dam before midnight tonight." ”

Ramsey was slightly stunned: "You just let me go, I can't come back." ”

Ning Tao smiled indifferently: "I can prick you with a needle for a day, it is the one you got last night, it will make you obedient." But I don't want to do that, you can blow up the dam for me, or you can run away. How to do it, you make your own decisions. ”

Ramsey turned and left.

Ning Tao watched him leave along the riverbed.
