Chapter 19: The Past
The man waited for the dragon to wake up, and then flew south on the dragon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info along the way, a little sentimental, and meeting the fall also makes the memories of the past come to mind little by little.
Today, the man's name is Rick Morris, and he is thin, with a lewd face, and countless scars on his face that make it difficult to look him in the face. But two years ago, this man was still called Owen Hall, and although he was not strong at that time, he had a lot of muscles on his body, his face was very clean, without any scars, and he could feel his warmth and maturity from his eyes.
Owen and Luo, in terms of blood, Owen is the eldest brother fifteen years older than Luo, but after all, they are half-brothers, so they don't have much communication, maybe they have met a few times, but they certainly haven't spoken, this time the meeting made the man's heart a little relieved, but he was also a little worried.
Go back two years......
When the last rays of orange sunset vanished over the horizon, the blood-red moonlight just shone over the entire King's Heights. Moonlight shone through the side window, shining on a man's body. He was lying on his side on a large richly decorated bed, with a beautiful woman sleeping beside him.
The moonlight slowly moved to his face, and in a daze, he opened his hazy eyes. The arrival of night meant the beginning of a day in the Demon Realm, and Owen got up and looked at his wife beside him, his eyes revealing endless love. He carefully covered his wife with the quilt and left the bedroom on tiptoe softly.
Owen lives in the northwestern part of the King's Highlands, which is relatively remote, but he is also a member of the royal family, and the buildings he lives in are also one of the local landmarks.
Owen's residence occupies a small area, only 500 square meters, but the building is still quite peculiar. On this 500-meter land, there is a 50-meter-high rectangular building, the exterior walls are a single snow-white color, but there are also some transparent glass windows that are larger than people are irregularly set up everywhere. Ten meters above the ground, there is a large door, and this door, which is more than ten square meters, is also made of transparent glass.
Inside the building, although it is fifty meters high, the whole building is only two floors, and the first floor is twenty-five meters high, but this is also normal, after all, the people of the demon clan mainly rely on flying at home. The interior walls are not just white, but are designed with many lockers, bookcases, and some strange footholds, as well as various decorations, on the 25-meter-high wall. In short, the interior of this building resembles an oversized birdcage.
In fact, the design of Owen's home is no different from that of other demon civilians, except that all civilians' houses only have one floor, that is, twenty-five meters, and the so-called royal family only has one more floor.
After Owen put on the gorgeous royal costume, he tied the long flowing hair behind him with gold ornaments, and then jumped from the second floor.
Owen landed on his feet in a half-crouch position, his right hand gently supporting the ground, and then he stood up with his left hand on his left knee, swinging his long flowing hair in the process.
Outside, calm and harmonious, the breeze blows through the earth, and can also take away the fragrance of the earth, and the moonlight shines through the windows into thousands of homes, but the tranquility of this land is broken in the next second.
Suddenly, an explosion resounded in the sky, waking up the demons who had not yet woken up, and suddenly the place where the explosion exploded was ablaze, and the orange-red fire overshadowed the moonlight, illuminating the entire land.
Owen was startled when he heard the explosion, but he flew to the roof to find out. Owen stood on the rooftop, staring north, but not close, knowing nothing but the flames.
The worried Owen closed his left eye and stared carefully ahead with his right eye, and at this time, the color of the white of the eye in Owen's right eye began to darken and darken, and finally turned black, which means that at this time, Owen's right eye is blood red, and the white of the eye is black. This strange eye is called the Blood Demon Eye by the Demon Clan, and people with this kind of eye can see the distance that ordinary people can't see, and can also perceive very small changes in the surroundings, but when using the Blood Demon Eye, they will lose their original powerful night vision ability.
And this kind of eye is produced by a peculiar phenomenon, which is called atavism by the people of the demon world, in other words, it is called degeneration. However, degradation is not necessarily bad, there are some demon people whose combat effectiveness will change qualitatively after the atavistic phenomenon, but there are also some atavistic phenomena that are basically useless, such as the atavistic phenomenon of demon people, the wings may degenerate to the previous state, and the ability to fly will be greatly reduced. And the atavistic phenomenon is difficult to control, after all, the structure of the body is not so easy to change.
Now, Owen was standing on the rooftop, observing the situation in the distance with the Bloodseeker, but because of the backlight, he could only see a group of wyverns flying above the flames.
At this time, in the northwest, it was the soldiers of the demon clan who caused the explosion, because all the flying dragons guarding the northwest gate of the demon clan were poisoned, so the dragoons of the demon clan easily invaded the high ground, and the explosion just now was also the demon clan that blew up the demon army's military camp.
Now in the northwest, the Majin clan is frantically transporting soldiers, preparing to capture the entire King's Heights.
Owen's wife, Otilea Cecil, was also awakened by the explosion, and she chose a random dress to put on, and immediately flew to the roof to see what was happening.
......
In the first month after the explosion, the entire King's Heights had become a mess, the demons had many soldiers, the demons were no longer opponents, many demons tried to leave the King's Heights, but most of them were still captured. However, the demon clan once issued such an order on the high ground, that is, as long as the demon civilians do not resist, their lives will not be in danger, and there is also the hope that the members of the royal family can come to "turn themselves in", which may reduce the punishment. Just a month after the explosion, more than half of the royal family had turned themselves in or been arrested, and Owen and his wife were still hiding in a remote warehouse.
Owen and his wife had been hiding here for seven days, and they were running out of food, and the search party of the Majin clan had already surrounded the entire village, and there were archers everywhere, and flying out was tantamount to looking for death. After a month on the run, Owen's clothes were already in tatters, with holes in the dirt all over his body, abrasions and bruises everywhere, and even his long hair had been cut by himself. Otilia also cut off her long, silky hair, but under Owen's protection, she had fewer wounds on her body, but her clothes were just as tattered, and now the two of them were even worse than beggars.
Throughout the day, Owen leaned against the corner of the warehouse, letting his beloved woman lean on his lap, and the two of them did not communicate at all, just hugging, perhaps feeling each other's last warmth.
Finally, a tear slipped from the corner of Owen's eye and dripped onto Otilia's cheek.
A warm tear fell onto her cheek, and she slowly opened her eyes, as if she was a little surprised, but she smiled warmly, and stretched out her hands to gently wipe the tears from the corners of Owen's eyes, but the tears began to drip more and more.
Tear after tear fell on her cheeks, and she continued to help Owen wipe away her tears, but the corners of her eyes were already moist. The two of them sat there quietly, not even making a sound of crying, but silently weeping.
After a long time, Owen finally spoke, his voice deep and powerless.
"Liya, although I don't want to be separated from you, I think for your safety, let's turn ourselves in..."
Otilia didn't answer, just hugged Owen tightly.
"Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, if we continue like this, we will definitely die, although very reluctantly, but the era of the demon race is over, our..."
"Well, I know, I know it." Otilia whispered in Owen's ear.
"Then we're still..."
"Uh-huh? Even if you turn yourself in, you can't avoid the death penalty! I'd rather be killed by you than killed by someone else! ”
Owen grabbed Otilia by the shoulders with shock and horror in his eyes. Looking at Owen's eyes, Otilia smiled, and then said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." ”
Owen let go of his hands and continued to lean against the wall.
"That's you, no matter what danger you encounter, you can always laugh. Thank you for the smile, I'm in a much better mood now. ”
Otilia chuckled softly again, and then asked, "Are you willing to be killed by me?" ”
Owen smiled, thinking it was another joke.
"Haha, in this situation, dying at your hands is the happiest way."
"Really?" Otilia looked at Owen with a smile, and there seemed to be a lot of hidden secrets in her smile.
......
After some time, Owen seemed to be overworked and fell asleep, while Otilia crouched in front of the warehouse door, observing the situation outside through the cracks, as if the time had come. She turned to look at the sleeping Owen and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead. After that, Otilia took out a bundle of rope from the warehouse, tied Owen firmly, tore off her clothes and stuffed them in his mouth, and finally took out the saw, bone crusher and other knives she had found long ago from the warehouse.
She picked one of the sharpest knives out there, a twenty-centimeter-long bone crusher knife. Once chosen, she flipped Owen over so that his back was facing up, and tied his wings together. Otilia compared the gap between the knife and the two wings on Owen's back, and found that the knife was just right.
Then, with a crisp sound of broken bones, Otilia used this bone crusher to cut off Owen's two wings, and the moment the wings were cut off, blood slowly oozed from the fault, because the wings were boneless, and there was not much blood.
Owen was awakened by a huge pain in his back as he was asleep, and he tried to scream loudly. But his hands and feet were tied, and even his mouth was stuffed with rags, and he couldn't make a sound except moaning through his nose.
His whole body was shaking, trying to release this pain in his body, tears streaming from his eyes, and his eyes were full of fear.
But the moment he turned his head, the familiar figure in front of him made his brain go blank, because his wife, Otilia, was holding his severed wings in her hands, and in her right hand was holding a large knife stained with blood. Owen originally thought that Otilia said that she was going to kill him just as a joke, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but at this time, the sight in front of him filled Owen's heart with despair, and he kept asking himself in his heart why this was.
Otilia didn't stop her "work", she grabbed Owen's tail again, and with a knife fell, it was cut off directly, and the falling tail was still squirming on the ground.
Now facing death, Owen's mind is in turmoil, and out of fear of death, he struggles to get rid of the rope and the rags in his mouth.
After that, his body was turned over again, and Otilia sat directly on top of him, and the large knife in his hand was replaced by a normal knife.
At this time, the two looked at each other, and Otilia also saw despair and fear in Owen's eyes.... and anger, but her expression did not change in any way.
Otilia immobilized Owen's head with a rope so that he could not deflect it at will, then took the knife in his right hand and stabbed him in the right eye.
Desperate and angry, Owen watched as the knife stabbed him in the right eye, and no matter how much he turned his head, he remained motionless. Looking at his wife who wanted to kill him, his heart was very sad and angry at the same time, and at the moment when he was blinded, he cursed this woman infinitely in his heart.
Finally, the knife still pierced him in the eye, and the sudden pain was unbearable for Owen, who tried to scream but failed.
Otilia then walked out of the warehouse with Owen's severed parts, and returned not long after. Owen, who was injured all over his body, seemed to have no strength to scream, because he couldn't bear the intense pain, and his consciousness was blurring little by little. Otilia removed the rag from his mouth, and Owen said to her with the last of his consciousness, "Absolutely unforgivable!" ”
A tear slipped from the corner of Otilia's eye, but she smiled reassuringly before she picked up the knife and slashed it at Owen's face.
