Simon and Sia both forgot about the previous unpleasantness. Simon stepped forward quickly and leaned in front of the guard. "Soldier, I'm Samon the Apothecary of the Royal Apothecary Guild of the Undercity. Who are you? Which corps does it belong to? What happened? ”

"Bei...... Belmont is at your command, my lord. The guard struggled to get up and salute Simon, but was stopped by Simon. Thea lifted Belmont up and placed two pillows behind his back so that he could lie down and talk more comfortably.

"I'm a soldier in the 3rd Squad of the 11th Corps, stationed in Agamande." Belmont gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, Agamandel has fallen. Mograine, the leader of the Scarlet Crusade, raided us with his cronies and elite troops. ”

"Tell me about their configuration and the number of people." Simon spoke calmly, took out a bottle of blood-colored potion and handed it to him, "Calm down, everything you say now will help us a lot." ”

"Yes, sir." Belmont took a big sip of the potion fiercely, and Thea next to him didn't know if it was an illusion, and vaguely smelled a smell of blood. Maybe it's from Belmont's wounds. Shia thought so.

"This time the Scarlet Crusaders dispatched their elite troops, about a few thousand or so. The commander-in-chief was Mograini himself. Agamande's defenders were spared except me. Soon they will be heading towards Deathknell. If their raid succeeds, it will be a disaster for us. So I desperately escaped. ”

Simon pondered for a moment, "Has anyone found out that you slipped through the net?" ”

"Two soldiers found me, but I killed them." Belmont cracked her mouth and smiled smugly. "Thanks to the Forsaken being able to restrain their pain, it is not easy to jump from the cliffs of Agamand into the sea. That's probably when my rib broke. ”

"The Queen of Darkness will reward you for your bravery, Belmont. Until then, you'll need to regain your strength as quickly as possible, and we still have a lot to do. ”

"Yes. Listen to your call at any time. My lord. ”

Mick walked in with a plate of bloody meat. "I think you'll love this," she said, placing the plate in front of Belmont.

"Oh, fresh meat." Belmont smacked her lips excitedly and sniffed intoxicated. "Great! I could smell it, it was the smell of those damn bloody crusaders. It's amazing! ”

His crazy expression made Xia shudder, and what he said stunned her even more.

Is what you heard before fake?

"Don't say it's the meat of a scavenging wolf, it's human flesh, and you should eat it when you should eat it!" Tina's voice echoed in Thea's ears. It turns out that this is true.

The smell of blood kept pouring into her nasal cavity, making her a little faintly nauseous**. She opened the door and walked out, aimlessly.

"Thea." A cold voice sounded behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was Vicky.

"Aren't you asleep? Vicky. Thea tried her best to hide her discomfort. What she didn't know was that such a performance in Vicky's eyes confirmed Vicky's speculation.

"You liar." Vicky squeezed her hand tightly, her sharp nails piercing her palm. "You think I'm a good coax, don't you? If you show from the beginning that you like Simon, I can happily compete with you. But you lied to me that you didn't like Simon. You're going to tease me like a fool, aren't you? ”

"What are you talking about? I don't understand, Vicky. ”

Vicky looked at Xia with an innocent look in annoyance, and laughed angrily, "You are really first-class in acting." You don't like him, so why go into his room in the middle of the night? ”

"You're mistaken, Vicky, there's a reason for that."

"You don't have to explain. I'll never believe a word you say again. You have deceived me, and I believe you like a fool, and you will be my enemy from now on. Vicky wiped her face viciously, left a cruel word, and turned away from her.

"Hey, Vicky......" Thea looked at Vicky's back, and her heart was slowly filled with a sense of powerlessness. Her back was against the wall, and her body slowly slid down because she couldn't support it. Why is the feeling of being wronged so heavy? She curled herself up in a ball, but she couldn't protect herself, and her heart was occupied by a sudden surge of negative emotions. So deep and sad.

Closing her eyes, such emotions and images appeared in her heart.

"Why is he here? Didn't he say he went to the Watch Fort? …… It turned out that he didn't believe me......"

“…… Shia! The man roared, and ran at her as she closed her eyes.

So be it, goodbye...... It's mine...... Husband.

Before she knew it, Thea's eyes were filled with tears. A hand rested tenderly on her head.

"What's wrong with you? Do you remember something? Unlike the gentleness of the hand, Simon's voice sounded cold and piercing.

"No, nothing." Sia calmed her emotions and hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears. A white rune cloth handkerchief was handed to her.

Perhaps it was her hesitation that made Simon unhappy. Simon threw the handkerchief into her arms. "Wipe it off quickly, and be careful that your face is swollen."

Even though she was in a bad mood, listening to his words, Xia couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth. She carefully wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Are you not accustomed to the lifestyle of the forgotten? Or who upset you? Simon turned his back to her, and he couldn't see his expression.

“…… I" Thea habitually wanted to laugh, but found that she couldn't laugh, so she gave up the idea of tugging at the corners of her mouth. "I was a human being, and I may have been a faithful follower of the Light during my lifetime. Although I have accepted to be a member of the Forsaken. Seeing the scavenging wolf I can barely understand and accept. But human flesh ...... I can't stand it. ”

Simon was silent for a moment, then carefully explained to her, "The will of the forsaken does not feel hungry and tired. But as a medium for us to return to the world, our bodies still need food and rest. Even in order to restore mana and stamina, more energy is needed. Eating meat is the fastest way for most forsaken people to replenish their energy. Our race is not able to raise enough animals for us to eat. None of our allies produce enough meat for what they need to consume themselves – we cannot put all our hopes in others. ”

"So?"

"So, corpses have only three uses for the Forsaken." Simon turned his head and slowly raised three slender and beautiful fingers in turn, his beautiful smile cold and transparent in the white moonlight. "One, resurrection. Second, make an abomination. Three, edible. ”

"If I don't come back to life, will I be eaten?" Thea mustered up her courage and asked loudly.

It was as if time had stood still, and it seemed as if a long time had passed. Simon reached out and stroked Thea's face.

"Of course not," his voice was soft and unequivocal. "Because you are destined to be the Forsaken!"

Thea ignored the tenderness in his eyes, closed her eyes, and sighed. "Tell me, my husband...... Who is it? ”
