The Sea of Fire

Vol. 4 Departure and Leave City (赤夕, forced separation. )

Chapter 6 Forcak· Neviup· Hudy (1)

Volkako walked to the indigo stone tablet on the bottom floor of the bounty ya, looked at the bounty order of the "silver sheath", and then looked around, the entire bottom of the bounty yaya was empty, except for Vrkakko, the rest of the Nevzin members had already gone upstairs to rest or heal... He forcefully pulled the bounty order of the "silver sheath" out of the gap in the stone tablet, squeezed it into a ball as much as possible, and then slammed it to the ground, he lowered his head to look at the bounty order of the "silver sheath" that had been slowly stretched out, and his hands couldn't help but clench tightly.

Volkako raised his head and looked at the bounty order of the "Desert Fox" Neibu Sente, he unconsciously let go of his slightly trembling hands, lifted them, and covered his eyes with the lower part of the palms of his hands, he had the illusion that he seemed to be crying... I... Finally found you... So many years... So many years have passed... I... Finally... Found you! But why are you... With an ancient dragon... Why! Why... Verkaco roared and roared in his heart, and in three breaths, he lowered his hands, his eyes were still deep, his face was calm, everything... It's like... Nothing has happened like this...

He carefully took out the bounty of "Desert Fox" from the gap in the stone tablet, and gently stroked the portrait of "Desert Fox", the eyes of "Desert Fox" reminded Verkaco of her... Their eyes really look like... He misses them all the time with similar eyes... Am I wrong? Am I wrong... Vrkako asked himself that he was worthy of the patriarch, worthy of every member of Nevzin, but worthy of his lover... Ashamed of his daughter... And now... I'm even starting to feel ashamed of the patriarch and the members of Nefuzu... Myself... Released an ancient dragon... I... I... What the hell are we doing! Isn't everything we have worked so hard to do just to be able to change the status quo of our ancient race! And I... I'm... This kind of mistake was made... Because of his own daughter... Again... Because she... Why! Why!

Verkaco's left hand gripped the "Desert Fox" bounty order tighter and tighter, and the bounty order was almost broken by the fingertips of his left hand... Why do I love someone... It always makes me have to stop what I'm doing right... Why... The fingers of Volkako's left hand slowly loosened, and he let the bounty order of the "Desert Fox" slip from his hand, and it floated gently to the ground, and Volkako looked at it, feeling that it was extremely heavy, as if he couldn't pick it up from the ground again...

Suddenly, a pure white thin right hand picked up the bounty order of the "Desert Fox" from the ground and gently shook it. Vrkako looked at the owner of the right hand, he was extremely familiar with him, he was none other than the patriarch of the ancient people, Hong.

"Patriarch Hong, why did you come here, shouldn't you be with Patriarch Kong to discuss the final matters?" Vrkako was very surprised, he really didn't expect Patriarch Hong to appear in the bounty at this moment, the last time he saw Patriarch Hong, he and Patriarch Kong were surveying the edge of the sea of fire area. I didn't expect Patriarch Hong to return to the city hub so soon...

"Vrkakko, Kong and I have decided... It's time to leave to meet him. Patriarch Hong lightly told Vrkako of his and Patriarch Kong's decision, "When the red moon appears tomorrow at the earliest, and when the red moon disappears the day after tomorrow at the latest... We need to go to the city of Sean Long!"

"Patriarch Hong..."Vrkako didn't expect that in the end, the patriarchs still decided to meet "him", he never approved or supported the patriarchs' approach, this may be more dangerous than what they planned to do, no, this is definitely more dangerous than what they planned to do! Not to mention whether the patriarchs can see "him", even if they do see "him", if the patriarchs fail to convince "him", the situation of the patriarchs will immediately become extremely dangerous, "Do you and Patriarch Kong really want to do this? This is too dangerous!" You also know that the relationship between our ancient human race and them has always been very awkward, and the 'estrangement' of the past has not been eliminated until now..."

"I know... I know... Vrkako..."Patriarch Hong's slightly thick voice slowed down, and he slowly walked over to the bounty of the "Silver Sheath", picked it up from the ground with his left hand, and shook it gently, "We're desperate... But... Ever since Nebushant left the city, you've started to speak tactfully. Is that an awkward relationship with them? It's a terrible relationship! Our relationship with them is even worse than our relationship with the Elder Dragons. ”

"So I have never supported you and Patriarch Kong's approach. You know that too..."Vrkako walked over to Patriarch Hong's side, his head hanging slightly, "Inner Step Sent..."

"I see the inner step. Patriarch Hong's words made Vrkako immediately raise his head, his deep eyes filled with shock and a hint of fear, "She's with an ancient dragon. The ancient dragon was quite strange, with two silver horns on its head. ”

"Macro: Patriarch... You—" Vrkaco's voice trembled, he was afraid to hear the "fact" of his imagination from the mouth of the Macro Patriarch, "You... You..."

"Don't worry, Verkaco. They're all alive, she's your daughter, after all... And that ancient dragon... It looks like it's hurt... I'd rather fight it once again, if it's not hurt. By the way, Neibu Sente has a lot of wounds and scars on her body, she should have suffered a lot outside the city hub..."Patriarch Hong walked to the indigo stone tablet, stretched out his left hand, and reinserted the reward order of the "silver sheath" into the gap in the front of the stone tablet, then withdrew his left hand and raised his right hand, looking at the reward order of the "Desert Fox" in his right hand, "I didn't expect her to become a bounty now... I think she was the elite of the Adimians!"

"Thanks... Thank you..."Verkako was sincerely grateful to the man in front of him, he would never have let go of Nebu Sente and Jaszed in the past... Thinking of this, Vrkako had to sigh with the help and teaching of Patriarch Kong to Patriarch Hong, making him a truly qualified patriarch of the ancient human race, "By the way, Patriarch Hong... We won't be able to leave the hub when Akatsuki appears tomorrow. ”

"Why?" Macro Patriarch furrowed his brow, and Verkako knew that this was not a time to set off to Macro's satisfaction.

Patriarch Hong's black and yellow pupils, which were much larger than the normal ancient human terrestrial pupils, looked at Verkaco half-squinted, giving Verkaco an extremely strong sense of oppression, "Tell me... Why?"

"Patriarch Hong... I... Both of our deputy chiefs of Nevzin have been wounded..."Beside the current Macro Patriarch, Vrkako felt again the heavy suffocation he had felt at the Macro Patriarch's side so many years ago.

"How could they get hurt..."Patriarch Hong turned his head to look at the bounty order of the "Silver Sheath" and sighed, "It's because of the 'Silver Sheath'?"

"Ruth is indeed in a temporary coma because of the 'silver sheath'. Vrkaco turned his gaze away from the Macro Patriarch to the Ink Thief's bounty, "Lesseth's serious injury and coma are not due to the 'Silver Sheath', but to the 'Ink Thief'. ”

"I've seen the 'Silver Sheath', it's an ancient dragon, Ruth's coma is understandable, but the 'ink thief' who beat Leses to the point of serious injury and caused him to fall unconscious... I haven't seen it yet... Patriarch Hong's eyes seemed to be half-narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the bounty of the Ink Thief on the stone tablet, "Vrkaco, is there any relationship or connection between the 'Ink Thief' and the Silver Sheath? It's not some ridiculous coincidence, is it?"

"According to the account of the master and servant of the Jiu Pavilion, the two met in the Jiu Pavilion, and then the 'ink thief' fought hard, severely injuring the 'Silver Sheath' and taking an observer away from the Jiu Pavilion. It was only then that Vrkako noticed that the portraits of the "Ink Thief" and the "Silver Sheath" Jaszmaed were so similar that he had the same opinion as the Macro Patriarch - that the "Ink Thief" and the "Silver Sheath" must have some relationship or connection. Verkaco does not believe in any so-called "coincidences" in this world: "Ruth and I rushed to the Pavilion after the 'ink thief' left the Pavilion and captured the 'Silver Sheath'. ”

"Vrkaco..."Patriarch Hong gently took out the bounty of the 'Ink Thief' from the gap in the stone tablet and walked towards the stone platform, "The bounty of this 'Ink Thief'... Need to change it... There is also the bounty requirement of 'Desert Fox' Neibu Sente, which also needs to be changed. ”

"Yes. Volkaco walked into the stone platform, his right hand put on the inky purple gloves on the stone platform, and then held the long strip of ink lead on the stone platform with his right hand, "But... How should it be changed, Patriarch Hong?"

"The 'Ink Thief''s 'regardless of life and death' was changed to 'can only be captured alive'..."Patriarch Hong put the reward order of the "Ink Thief" and the reward order of the "Desert Fox" Neibu Sente on the table of the stone platform successively, "The 'Desert Fox' Neibu Sente's 'regardless of life and death' was also changed to 'can only be captured alive'..."

"Yes. Vrkako first gently took the bounty order of the "Desert Fox" Neibu Sente in front of him, and drew two crossed slashes on the four words "whether life or death" with a long strip of ink and lead, and then wrote "can only be captured alive" above these four words. Put aside the bounty order of the "Desert Fox" Neibu Sente, and then take the bounty order of the "Ink Thief" in front of him, draw two parallel slashes on the four words "no matter life or death" with a long strip of ink lead, and then write "can only be captured alive" above these four words. After the change, Vrkako couldn't help but squint at the reward request of the "ink thief", and he still couldn't help but ask Patriarch Hong, "Patriarch Hong... I can see why you changed the bounty requirement for 'Desert Fox' Neibu Sente to 'Only Caught Alive'... But why did you want me to change the bounty requirement for the 'Ink Thief' to 'Capture Alive'? The 'Massacre of the Village' was done by the Ink Thief, and his bounty came from this... You don't know about this, do you?"

"'Massacre'? What is that? I've never heard of it. Patriarch Hong turned his back to Vrkaco, leaning his back against the stone platform, "You tell me roughly about the 'village massacre'. ”

"Leses witnessed the slaughter of the entire village of Suyi Village, the old and weak, women and children by the 'ink thief'. Unconsciously, there was a hint of anger in Vrkaco's eyes, and this anger seemed to be getting stronger and more obvious, and he subconsciously lowered his voice, making it slightly hoarse, "Slaughtering the village... Abbreviation..."'Tu Village'!"

"'Tu Village'... Just 'slaughtering the village' shouldn't be enough to make your anger so hysterical, right?" Patriarch Hong's eyes stared into Vrkaco's eyes, and he seemed to be able to see the depths of Vorkaco's heart, "Tell me what happened in Shuyi Village... Would make you so hysterical and angry?"

"He... He's not human... He's damned!" Vrkako couldn't contain his anger just by hearing his description from Lesseth's mouth, and you can imagine how Lessers, who witnessed all this, would have been so angry at that damned "ink thief" that he tortured three ancient Terran males to death... The three of them all had countless wounds on their chests, and their upper bodies were covered with dust, and they were all kneeling on the stone platform, their knees were cracked, and there was a depression in the thighs of both legs, and honey dust was constantly flowing out of the cracks in their knees... That's not death anymore... For all three of them, death is relief..."

"What he did to these three ancient men was indeed too cruel..."Patriarch Hong frowned his brows, blinked his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at Vorkako... The hysterical anger of Vrkako stopped abruptly, and he remembered that the ancient man in front of him had done something similar to this "ink thief" many years ago, except that he had never done this to the ancient people, but other races... Not necessarily... The suffocation feeling returned to Verkaco's body again, just now because of anger that his body subconsciously ignored the suffocation, when he woke up, the strong discomfort caused by the suffocation sensation made Verkaco's breathing extremely heavy, "Is there anything else going on, Verkaco?"

"He... In an instant... Will... Ten Shuyi villages... of the ancients... Kill them all..."Furkako clutched his chest, holding the bounty orders for "Desert Fox" and "Ink Thief" in his left hand, stood up, and slowly stepped back, he had to stay away from the Hong Clan for a long time, his breathing became more and more painful, "In an instant, they... At the neck... At the same time, there appeared... A line... Other words... This one... Damn it... In an instant... Chopped off... The ancients of the ten Shuyi villages... of the neck..."

"For a moment...," Patriarch Hong tilted his head slightly, "he may not be the Ancients... Verkaco. ”

"Not the Ancients?" Vrkaco had this guess when he realized that the portraits on the bounty orders of the "Ink Thief" and "Silver Sheath" were almost identical, but it was always just Vrkaco's guess, "But..."

"So... We should 'capture alive' and 'ink thieves'... Isn't it, Verkaco?" Patriarch Hong took a few steps forward, making Verkaco's suffocation feel a lot less, and his breathing became easier, "Just to give him death... There shouldn't be a way to appease the resentment of the ancient people who died in Shuyi Village, right?"

"Patriarch Hong..."Vrkako heard a bad feeling from Patriarch Hong's words, but thinking that it was the "Ink Thief", he felt that it didn't matter if it was such a bad feeling, because it was the "Ink Thief"... He took any malice towards the "ink thief" for granted, "I understand. ”

"Macro... Patriarch! Leader!" An indifferent voice came from the staircase, and Verkaco knew it was Ruth's... But... Ruth woke up so soon?

Vrkaco was a little puzzled, as an ancient dragon, it was normal for Ruth to be in a coma all night, and something seemed to be wrong... The ancient dragons seen in the Land of Origin... There are no horns on the head... Their appearance and stature are no different from those of ordinary ancient people... Jaszmaede because of the horns... So his body became weak, and Ruth was able to wake up so quickly... Or maybe it's because his body has become weak... Only then did he grow horns, and Ruth woke up so quickly... Whichever of the two... Jasmaed's body was already weakened...... What makes it so weak?

"Ruth, I heard Verkaco say, aren't you unconscious, why did you wake up so quickly?"

"I don't know, Patriarch Hong. Ruth's body shook slightly, and his eyes were in a trance, "That ancient dragon clan, compared to the last time I met him, it was too weak, it should be able to, easily, shatter my head... I also wondered why, I survived..."

"Ruth, how's Leseth's condition?" Vrkako felt a lot more relieved when he saw that Ruth had woken up and felt that he was in good shape, so he was more concerned about Lessers' condition.

"Leses has just woken up, and now, his chest is not very comfortable, as if it is because, fighting with the 'ink thief', resulting in a chest injury, bone crack... Then, his face, was cut out of two, deeper wounds... There is no other, condition. There was a slight shake in Ruth's indifferent voice, and Verkako saw a shallow trace of worry in Ruth's eyes... Is the bone cracked? Maybe Patriarch Hong and I were right in our guesses... Lessers' condition is fine, too... It can be cured with a few medicinal leaves, but maybe he won't be able to heal until we reach Sean Long, the city hub... But it can't be helped...

"Verkaco, Ruth, and Leses have all woken up, so we can leave tomorrow when Akatsuki appears, right?" Patriarch Hong slowly walked towards the door of the bounty office, he was getting farther and farther away from Verkaco, and his voice slowly became soft, "I'll go to the Artifact Workshop to get the complete weapon I asked Wei Wei to build." ”

"Yes, Patriarch Hong. "Vrkako made up his mind in his heart that he must let the two brothers, Servant and Celestial, join Nefzin, especially Celestial, he is now the only Ancients in the city hub Huron Youlan who can craft a complete weapon, and his weapon-crafting skills have been approved by the macro patriarch, "I will wait for you at the right gate of the city hub with the members of Nevzin." ”

Patriarch Hong raised his right hand, shook his palm gently, and slowly walked out of the bounty, his figure disappeared from Verkaco's eyes, and at this time, the feeling of suffocation completely disappeared from Verkaco's body, and Verkaco took a deep breath, spit it out vigorously, and walked to Ruth's side.

"Let's go upstairs together, I have something to tell you and Leseth. Verkaco said as he walked towards the staircase.

"Yes, Verkaco... Chieftain. Ruth followed behind Verkaco and walked towards the staircase.
