I glanced suspiciously at the magician who had said this, for such words should not have come out of his mouth.

Although I have only met this magician once, I have the impression that Viren is very humble and seems to be very introverted. But now, his tone had become strange. "You, are you Viren?"

Viren nodded, and judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he was puzzled by my question.

"But I don't think so. I shook my head: "Because although I have only had a relationship with you, I don't think you would say such a thing." But look at the way you are now, you become proud. I don't know what has happened to you over the past few years that has changed you, but I don't think it's a good sign. “

Viren looked very confused. He first looked at Qi Tianci next to him, and then at me. "Ma'am, we'll heed your reminder. Now that you're safe, it's time for us to go. “

"Hey. I let out a soft sigh, and it looked like our end was doomed one way or another. If I don't want the worst-case scenario, I have to be prepared.

At this time, Viren had re-prepared a small, strange-looking object, and had stepped into it with his companion named Qi Tianci. "I hope you must remember what I said, Viren, and you, Qi Tianci. “

But the human named Qi Tianci raised the middle finger of his right hand at me, and then with a white light rising into the sky, Hua Siqi and I subconsciously covered our eyes. By the time their sight was restored, the two humans had vanished. After a long time, I wondered what the gesture that the human named Qi Tianci made to me me, could it be a kind of goodbye to me?

Rebek was so powerful, so strong that I didn't even want to resist. Luckily, though, he didn't seem to be his target. But at the same time, this is the greatest shame for me. Because I don't even have the qualifications to let him do it now! I think I'm strong enough in my race and in this world. But it wasn't until he appeared that I knew what it meant to be outside of people, and there were mountains outside of people. What the hell is a demon, what is a demon? Why does this race, which has only been around for a year or two, have such a powerful existence? And this existence was only a human before, just like me.

The strength hidden behind the human race is really terrifying. So that's the only reason why after so many changes, the strength of the human race has not weakened, but has remained at the top of the food chain on this continent. It's hard to imagine that hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans were just a terrible species that only knew how to suck blood and transform innocent lives into their own. What's even more ironic is that the only reason I'm standing here now, whether I'm an elf or an undead, is because these things, which were still called zombies, swept across the continent and completely wiped out the orthodox humans who lived here before. Otherwise, perhaps this continent would have gone on a different path long ago, and we would not exist at all.

"Ma'am, what shall we do now?"

Hua Siqi's words brought my mind back from imagination to reality. I came back to my senses, looked at Banks and Redding unconscious on the ground, and shook my head helplessly. "Now let's wake Banksy first, she's just had some shocks, and she's fine. And she can wake up the old man with us. “

But Hua Siqi seemed a little hesitant: "It's just, do we still want to send Reading back to the national capital?"

"No, I don't. I smiled and replied, "I used to say no, because I was troublesome, but this time I said no, because you suddenly appeared." Looking at Hua Siqi, who looked very surprised, I tidied up my somewhat tattered clothes: "No matter what, I don't want to go to that dirty place again, and I don't even want to stay in this country for another day." If you could, I would like you to teleport Reading back, but I don't know about you... “

"Absolutely. Hua Siqi had already guessed what I was trying to say, and looked a little excited: "Of course, but I didn't set it up, I just made some changes to the original teleportation point and left my own mark." In that case, no one but me would be able to use such a waypoint. However, the one who originally left this waypoint is no longer there. “

I patted her gently on the shoulder, knowing what she meant. It was clear that the teleportation point she had left behind in the capital of the Danmoth Empire must have been left behind by their people. However, now the whole race is gone except for her.

"Uh, ahh My head hurts. ”

I looked back and saw that it was Banksy who had woken up, and it didn't look like she was seriously injured. This is very good news.

After sitting still and resting for a while, Banksy didn't look any different from before. Then, she immediately ran to Reading and began to treat him. Ten minutes later, Reading also woke up leisurely. It's good, everyone is awake, and yes doesn't seem to be in trouble. The most serious Redding was only visible abrasions and bruises on his legs and back. I didn't ask why, and Reading only brushed it off with the far-fetched reason of falling. "Long time no see. He smiled forcefully, and I could see the faint sadness on his face. "Am I not going back now?"

"No, we'll escort you to the outskirts of the capital, and then let Hua Siqi use the teleportation point to take you back. ”

Reading suddenly looked unusually happy, almost like a child. He jumped up and smiled innocently: "Go home, I can finally go home." ”

For some reason, instead of making me feel happy, his smile made me feel unusually uncomfortable. When we set out, there were me, Banksys, Reading, and Firestorm and Iron Mountain, who were dangerous but very funny, but now, when we return to the edge of the capital, the fate between Reading and us will be completely over, and even Reading's life will be completely over. But even though it was a dead end, he still chose to jump into it obstinately. As for Firestorm and Iron Mountain, I now know why I think the two of them are dangerous, it turns out that they are the medium used to summon Rebec's appearance. And, in retrospect, the story they told us must have been just a story.

But fortunately, after so many things, there is no longer as much estrangement between Banks and me as before, and we have also replenished the fresh blood of Hua Siqi. More or less diluted some of the previous sadness. It's just that those who have left will never come back, and this is something that can never be replaced by those who wake up.

After packing everything up, we quickly left this hell full of corpses and scavengers. I have to say that Hua Siqi's teleportation point is really useful, and it looks like it should be all over this continent. But unfortunately, Hua Siqi can only sense a few teleportation points closest to her now. The others could no longer be felt, and even if she did, in her words, it would be impossible for her to teleport that far with her current abilities. What's more important is that Hua Siqi's use of such a teleportation point also consumes the magic stored in his body.

Oh, that's really not good news, you can't enjoy that windy feeling every time. After setting a fire to the place, we quickly made our way to the nearest waypoint and left. When I arrived at the new place, I felt refreshed when I looked at the lush jungle. "I really didn't expect this corrupted empire to have such a beautiful scenery. I said with some jealousy, "I feel sorry for this country to perish at any time because of the invasion of the apostles." Reading, are you really going back?"

Reading still looked very excited: "Of course, of course! Now that the regent is dead, I just need to go back as soon as possible and report everything to His Majesty the Emperor, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely organize a group of real elite troops to go to the front line and completely wipe out those pesky apostolic mongrels!"

"Hey. I sighed softly, the poor old man had gone completely mad.

I didn't say anything more, but Hua Siqi said softly: "Auxiliary Minister, I want to tell you something, but I hope you can stabilize your emotions. ”

"What?" Redding still looked very happy, but his face was a little unbearable.

Hua Siqi took a deep breath and said the reason: "Because, the one who was tortured and killed by Rebek was not the real regent. “

"What? what did you say?" Redding's smile froze, replaced by a very tyrannical and angry face.

"In the end, when the last demon king was about to kill the regent, although the regent was already crushed, I still heard the last words he said. ”

"What are you saying, what are you saying!"

He said. Hua Siqi gave me a pleading look, and after I nodded, he mustered up the courage to continue: "He said that he is not really disgusted with the Duke, and if he is left alive, he is willing to be the most loyal dog under Rebek." ”

"Impossible, haha, impossible. Reading laughed: "I know the face of this old man better than anyone else, I know very well that it is him, it is him! Now that he is dead, then His Majesty the Emperor will have no villain to pay tribute to him!"

"But that monster is saying that he is not a disgusting duke! Why don't you believe it!" Hua Siqi also became very excited: "Why do you still have fantasies like this? Obviously, that monster said so, but you don't believe it! Are you crazy!"

Reading suddenly grabbed Hua Siqi's neck. Although he is an old man, he has also taken dragon meat. Therefore, the physique is much better than the weak Hua Siqi. For a while, Hua Siqi had no way to break free.

"That's enough!" I yelled, pushing Reading aside. The re-freed Hua Siqi coughed violently and said to Banks and me, "He's crazy. ”

"yes, yes, I'm crazy. Reading's face took on an eerie arc, and this unfathomable smile made me feel very creepy. "Who are you? You're just some insignificant aliens, and I just need one order to kill you nasty things! Because I'm the Auxiliary Minister, I'm the Auxiliary Minister, Reading, haha, hahaha... ”

He was completely insane, and I shook my head helplessly. Reading is now a complete alien to us. The original Reading is dead, and now Reading is just a crazy, arrogant, and even some scary old man. It's exactly the same as the weird old man who used to call himself a disgusted duke.

After glancing at us, he growled, "From now on, we are no longer friends, no longer companions. I don't need you to send me back, I can do it by myself! Now that the regent is dead, no one dares to disobey the orders of the Imperial Vice-Chancellor! Now, we are complete passers-by! I don't want to see you again!"

After saying that, Reading did not hesitate at all, turned around and left us. Banks tried to keep Redding, but I stopped him before he could speak. "Now he's a completely different person. I shook my head, "Let's just follow him." ”

"But he's going to die if he goes back!"

"But don't you realize that this is what he wants?" I looked at Banks, who was already crying, and shouted, "Cry, cry, you know crying! Don't you see what the old man is thinking? He knows! He knows that his country is doomed, but he chooses to live and die with his own country, do you understand? He is now a madman, but he is even more of a hero! You know what? Ah? What do you think it will do him to be with us now? Nope!
