Outside the cave, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

It was fast evening and I looked out through the dark yellow film-like thing, and all I saw was as if everything was covered in snow. When the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the firestorm ran out of the cave to verify the current weather in person, but was immediately frozen and stood motionless where he had just gone out.

At first we thought he was joking with us, until a few minutes when we saw him hold on to a single movement for a long time without any movement. I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. "Iron Mountain, go and move him in!"

Iron Mountain nodded in a deep voice and rushed out of the cave, but after reaching the cave, his movement speed became sluggish in an instant. Fortunately, Banksy was not watching the excitement like before, but blessed Iron Mountain with his divine power when Iron Mountain was struggling to move his pace, which suddenly increased his movement speed a little, and it didn't look so uncomfortable.

But even so, saving the firestorm from the bitter cold outside consumed almost all of Iron Mountain's energy. After carrying Firestorm into the cave, Iron Mountain also fell into the cave along with Firestorm. If it weren't for the fact that the fur of the hapless bastards who had been hunted by the cave's former owner on the ground was a good buffer, I doubt that the Iron Mountain, clad in heavy armor, would have broken a bone or something when it crushed Firestorm to the ground.

Here, it has to be said that the role that Banky can play is getting bigger and bigger. Banksy had only been seriously treated for ten minutes, and Firestorm was back and forth as before. Although his face still looked obviously pale, at least it made the fire storm that had been closed from the ghost gate crawl back from hell again.

"Thank you. Tieshan sincerely thanked him and took off his helmet. What was revealed was a face covered in scars, but vaguely handsome. His left eye was gone, replaced by a deep scar that ran through his left eye from top to bottom. "This is a previous injury I received to protect the Firestorm. ”

"That's right. Firestorm spread his hands: "You know, as a king of a country, you are often attacked by people who have ulterior motives and are broken out of their heads with all their might. If I hadn't had the protection of Iron Mountain before, I'm afraid I would have died countless times. Until I suddenly gained my current abilities inside that cave, everything I needed to be protected by Iron Mountain, oh my god, Iron Mountain was like my nanny during those times. Except for not helping me with and urine, he has almost done everything else. ”

We all looked at the two men mischievously, wondering if they had done something counterintuitive during the time they had taken refuge. Iron Mountain didn't have any particular resistance to our eyes, perhaps because he didn't know what the eyes we looked at them represented, but Firestorm asked a little strangely, "Do you think we have some secret secrets? God, how is this possible? I'm the king, and he's the captain of the guard, so it's his duty." But that's not the case anymore, we're partners, we're friends, we're brothers?"

"Can you think so now?" Would the king recognize a captain of the guard whom he had personally raised as a companion, a friend, a brother?

"What's so strange about that?" Firestorm looked very incomprehensible to my question, "The only reason we were kings and captains of the guard was because I was the king of a country. By the time we took refuge, I was no longer king, but Iron Mountain continued to do his duty and rescued me from a country that no longer welcomed me and has taken refuge until now. In a way, the moment I wasn't king, Iron Mountain didn't have to insist on his duties anymore, but he didn't. However, in any case, we are no longer in the relationship between kings and courtiers, but friends and friends, brothers and brothers. ”

Fire Storm's words made Tie Shan very moved. Unexpectedly, from the time they left their country to take refuge in a cave, Firestorm saw themselves as their friends and brothers. He didn't know what to say, so he sat alone at the entrance of the cave and watched the snowy night outside. Suddenly he stood up and turned towards us and brought us ominous news. "Here they are. ”

Yes, here they are. Of all the people here, I should be the first to know what was wrong with the situation. But I was paralyzed at this time. However, now was not the time for me to apologize for my carelessness, and I quickly walked to the entrance of the cave and began to use my sense of sight and smell, which is more sensitive than that of humans, to probe the outside.

But I didn't dare to risk my life to get out of the cave like the previous Firestorm, not to mention that it might expose us early, and most importantly, the hellish weather outside was enough to disgust me. I don't want to be like a firestorm and almost freeze into an ice sculpture outside. Although I am an undead, the irony is that before I became an undead, I was a life-loving spirit known as a child of nature. Therefore, this makes me very sorry for my life.

Through that dark yellow film, I saw some discordant colors in the interaction with the snow that day. It was pitch black, blacker than the armor on Iron Mountain's body. "Well, sure enough, an assailant appeared. And it doesn't look like he's the only one. One of them was dressed very strangely, wearing a pure black armor that was even darker than yours. He was also riding a horse, but it was impossible to tell what it was. Because the horse was also covered in black armor. “

Tie Shan asked me in a deep voice, "Ma'am, are you sure that what you see is true?"

"Well, really. He is not alone, and there are many, many followers behind him. Obviously, we should be arriving at our destination. Otherwise, they wouldn't have pursued us with such elite troops. ”

"That's my brother. ”

"It doesn't matter who is the brother now, what we have to do now is to hide in this cave and not let them find us, otherwise we will be ... Wait, what do you say?"

Iron Mountain laughed, the first time he had smiled since he removed his helmet. But this smile seemed so bitter to me. "If what you're saying is correct, then he's my real brother. His name is Cress. It's a dead man. ”

"Dead man?" I amusedly looked at Iron Mountain, then pointed at myself. "Are you sure you say your own brother is a dead man, like an undead like me?"

"No, it's not. When I say he's a dead man, I mean he's a real dead man. “

After seeing our doubts, he continued: "He can't think, he can't speak, and he can't breathe. So, all of this is a good proof that he is no longer a human being. And more importantly, he was killed by my own hands. “

Well, it looks like it's a story. Not a very good story. While the Regent's pursuers were still looking for us, Iron Mountain whispered to us stories about him and the man he called dead.

It turned out that decades ago, before Iron Mountain was called the Captain of the Firestorm Guard, Iron Mountain and his biological brother were just two ordinary soldiers. Gradually, however, the two of them embarked on completely different paths. Iron Mountain gradually became a knight born for honor, and when a fire storm came to the army to select a qualified guard captain for himself, Iron Mountain, who regarded this opportunity as the biggest opportunity in his life, broke through many obstacles and finally successfully became the captain of the fire storm's personal guard. And what about his younger brother, who also saw this as his greatest opportunity, but he ultimately lost to his older brother, Iron Mountain. The defeated brother ostensibly declined Iron Mountain's offer to make him his own vice-captain, but secretly joined the rebels. And in that attack that completely overthrew Firestorm's dominance, it was precisely because Kress wiped out all the pro-Firestorm troops by himself, but in the end he was killed by Iron Mountain.

However, Kress's death could not stop the firestorm from passing. In the end, Iron Mountain could only flee with the fire storm. It was in the process of escaping that Tie Shan once again discovered his biological brother. He was still wearing a thick jet-black armor as before, which was a full-body heavy armor that Kress had created to imitate his brother's best craftsmen in the country at the time. Only he and his brother can bear the weight of this heavy armor. This made Iron Mountain feel very puzzled, because he had killed him with his own hands, but why did Kress reappear now? Once, Iron Mountain confronted Iron Mountain after clearing out all his pursuers except Kress. No matter how Iron Mountain spoke to Kress, Kress didn't respond to half a sentence. This time, Iron Mountain defeated Kress again, and when he took off Kress's helmet, he found that the skin on Kress's face took on a strange dark purple color. This should be a color that only appears after death. Moreover, Kress no longer makes any noises other than unconscious howls. Only then did Iron Mountain know that his own brother had died completely, and had become such a monster that he had never seen before. At this moment, Tie Shan felt extremely frightened, he did not simply cut off his own brother's head, but turned around and picked up the frightened fire storm and left. And this is also the last time Tie Shan sees his biological brother except now.

"Ma'am, after I learned your identity, I knew that my biological brother was not a creature like you. On the contrary, he was indeed a dead man. And what's even more terrifying is that, perhaps because of blood relations, my own brother always seems to be able to find me wherever I flee to. Even though Firestorm and I escaped to the cave, he stayed near the cave, and we saw his traces long after we came out. Luckily, he may have lost his patience at that time, so we were lucky enough to meet you. “

Reading, who had just woken up, happened to hear Iron Mountain's last words: "Iron Mountain, what do you mean?"

At this time, Tie Shan had put his helmet back on his head and was ready to walk out of the cave. "I can't let them catch you. “

Fire Storm wanted to stop him, but he appeared in front of Iron Mountain and said sharply, "What do you want to do?

"Yes. Tie Shan's voice was a little urned in the helmet: "This is my duty, I am the captain of your personal guard, no matter who you see me as you now, as long as you live, I will be the captain of your personal guard." And that's my life's calling. ”

"Fart!" Firestorm slapped Iron Mountain on his helmet, but Iron Mountain was fine, but it made Firestorm's hand hurt very much. But he didn't care now: "You know bullshit, from the moment I wasn't king, your duties were fucking over, and now you're my !!!friend!

"I, I know. So, I can't let you die here. "Iron Mountain flashed through a storm of fire, and was about to go out when it suddenly fell. As he fell, there was the sound of steel clashing from behind his helmet.

He fainted. I tucked the small bolt back into my cuff. "Now, what we have to do is not make any more noise. Because, I think you know why. “

Firestorm quietly moved Iron Mountain back into the cave, because when Iron Mountain fainted, his upper body had already extended from the hole. If left unchecked, Iron Mountain will definitely be discovered by his own brother. But what I don't know is that it is because of our action that we are completely exposed.

They were getting closer and closer, and from a distance, I saw that they were thousands in size, and were now scattering in all directions looking for the slightest trace. Kress, on the other hand, looked at where we were, and then turned and left. Whew, now it seems, is not found us.
