Chapter 397: Survive
Wisteria, Sir Laulandes' Mansion.
Xia Lan leaned against the wall and quietly listened to the intelligence secrets that Winnie had taken out of Herbert in the past two days and shook his head, because there was nothing valuable in the information at all, and he didn't know if Winnie was suspected of prevarication, but, according to their agreement, there were still two more opportunities left for Winnie, and he would not deal with Winnie lightly until the opportunity was used up.
Perhaps Winnie knew that the information she spied on would definitely not satisfy the other party, she sat on the sofa with her head tilted, looking physically and mentally exhausted, as if the whole person looked thinner.
"I'm sorry, but that's the limit of what I can do, and I'm afraid I'll really arouse Herbert's suspicions."
"You've got four days left." Xia Lan said lightly, in Elderland's universal calendar, six days is a week.
"I know, I'll give you a satisfactory answer in these four days." Winnie's voice was full of exhaustion.
"Have you met any of their people in the past two days?" Xia Lan asked.
"No, but after listening to Herbert, he felt that someone was watching him around the mansion, and although it was secret, it couldn't hide his perception." Winnie sighed, "It's clear that the Subversive Fangs don't trust him anymore. β
Xia Lan nodded, Winnie was indeed not lying, when he sneaked into the mansion, he sensed some hidden aura around him, but under the suppression of the class, he could easily prevent others from detecting his existence.
I have to say that in the hidden process dΓΉ, "subverting fangs" can be called perfect, if there are not some special skills. Nor will they survive the countless years of encirclement and suppression of the Radiant Sanctuary. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the many powerful areas of "subverting fangs".
Luckily, this wasn't the base camp for the Subversive Fangs, otherwise he would have died a thousand times.
Xia Lan is gone, after all, there is no point in continuing to stay here.
Every time she saw Xia Lanwannie who came and went without a trace, she would unconsciously panic, and at this time she realized that she would feel like this when he became her enemy, did she regret it?
Winnie smiled bitterly in her heart, what do you still talk about regrets or not, life is her own choice. What kind of consequences should be borne by yourself, and complaining about the sky and others can't change the reality, so you should just suffer by yourself.
At this time, a quick knock on the door made her suddenly sober up, and a slightly flustered voice of a maid sounded outside the door.
"Ma'am, no, a stranger of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Lord Sir's room."
What the?
Winnie was startled, and quickly got up from the couch and rushed to the door.
"What the hell is going on?" As soon as she opened the door, Winnie asked the maid outside the door.
"I... I didn't know that just now when I was about to deliver food to Lord Jazz, I saw an extra stranger in the room. Then Lord Sir said that this was a guest, so there was no need to be nervous. But the guest looked really intimidating, so I hastened to inform Madame......" replied the maid with trepidation.
When Winnie heard this, she immediately left the maid and ran to Herbert's room, but when she pushed open the half-hidden door of Herbert's room, she looked around, but she did not see the strange guest that the maid had spoken of.
"Winnie, you're here." Herbert on the bed opened his eyes slightly, looked at Winnie, who seemed to be searching for something in the room, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, the organization came just now." β
"What are they coming to you for?" Winnie came to his bed and said eagerly.
"See that pale green potion?" Herbert's eyes glanced at the cabinet next to the bed and said, "They're here to bring me medicine." β
Following Herbert's eyes, Winnie suddenly found a delicate medicine bottle on the counter, she reached out and picked up the medicine bottle, opened the cork and sniffed it, her face suddenly changed: "This is ......"
"Diluted blended Life Essence Elixir." Herbert smiled bitterly: "It seems that your plan is going to fail, and the organization must atone for my sins this time." β
Winnie looked at the pale green potion in her hand with a gloomy expression, and a voice in her heart was shouting loudly, smash it, smash it, if you smash it, Herbert's injuries will not be healed quickly, so that he doesn't have to follow the "Subversive Fangs" to fight against Xia Lan, his life will not be in danger...... "Winnie, don't do anything stupid. Herbert seemed to see through Winnie's thoughts and shook his head, "Since the organization has already taken care of the potion, even if I break the potion, they will let me go into battle with injuries, unless I want to bear the reputation of a traitor, otherwise...... I can't escape. β
"Why would they do it? Don't you say they have a human touch? So what is this? Winnie's eyes were red and she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.
"I said, they want me to atone for my sins, maybe you don't know, I have already violated the taboo of the organization when I saved you, if I can't show myself in this mission, the organization will definitely punish me severely afterwards." Herbert said bitterly. "Actually, they're giving me one last chance."
"But...... You're going to die! Winnie couldn't control her tear ducts anymore, and the crystal tears that flowed in her eyes finally slipped down.
"Perhaps, this is my fate as a member of the Order." Herbert sighed.
"What did they say to you? Do you have to do your best to recover? Winnie said.
"Although the organization knows the clues of the mission relics, but it can't judge the authenticity of the clues for a while, so they can only take a wait-and-see attitude, once the clues of the relics are a trap, the organization's forces in Port Louis will be destroyed under rash action, and the organization has to be cautious about this, however, the organization has recently discovered that things may change in a short period of time, and the Lord orders us to be prepared......" Herbert explained slowly.
"Isn't your organization very powerful?" Winnie wiped her tears and said, "What is it that makes you so afraid?" β
"You seem to have forgotten our organization's worst enemy." Herbert sighed.
"You mean the Radiant Sanctuary?" Winnie thought instantly.
"Who else but the Radiant Sanctuary could make the organization so jealous?" Herbert said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that this is the branch center of the Radiant Sanctuary in this diocese, if it weren't for the fear of alarming the attention of the Radiant Sanctuary, otherwise the organization would have acted a long time ago!" β
"But sooner or later, you're going to be aware of the Radiant Sanctuary." Winnie said.
"We all know this, but as long as we get the relics before the Radiant Sanctuary is dispatched, it will be worth the sacrifice." Herbert Road.
"Is this relic so important to you? Or even make you sacrifice your own lives? Winnie said.
"Although I don't know what a relic is, with the attitude of the organization towards relics, this relic must be something extremely important to the organization, so it must not fall on others!" Herbert Road.
"Give it to me."
With that, Herbert struggled to his feet from the bed and reached out to Winnie for the vial in her hand.
Winnie held the medicine bottle in both hands, hesitated for a long time, and finally handed the medicine bottle to Herbert, some things cannot be escaped, sooner or later there will be a day to face, in this case, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible.
Herbert took the medicine bottle, uncorked it and drank it in one gulp, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he suddenly fell back to the bed and gasped heavily.
"Winnie, believe me, I'm not going to die."
"I know, and I'm not going to let you die." Winnie bit her lip and her eyes flushed.
"After this incident, I want to take you to my hometown, which I haven't been back to for many years." Herbert stared at Winnie and smiled.
"I still don't even know where your hometown is?" Winnie snorted.
"My hometown, on the far other side of the Summer Wind Strait, is a beautiful village surrounded by green mountains and green waters...... It's just that...... By the time I left, it was in ruins. Herbert recalled.
He vaguely remembers that when he was a child, he and his sister were running and playing in the mountains and forests, and their parents snuggled up in the distance and looked at them with a happy smile, carefree was the best portrayal of their family at that time.
However, one day.
A cavalry, a fire destroyed all a qiΔ.
Hiding in the water tank, he shivered and covered his ears, but the screams of his parents before they died lingered in his brain forever, and the young sister finally broke down and cried, she was found in another tank, and then the crying stopped abruptly.
He began to hear footsteps approaching the tank, and he began to realize that he was going to die.
In desperation, the sound of approaching footsteps stopped.
He didn't know how much time had passed, how long, until the hunger in his stomach made him dizzy and could no longer bear it.
He lifted the lid on the water tank, and the burning flames filled his vision.
In the courtyard.
He saw his mother's naked body, he saw his father's blood-smeared and wide-eyed head, and he saw his young sister pierced through the wall under a spear......
As he knelt in the courtyard and howled heartbreakingly, a dark figure emerged from the flames.
He looked at himself and spoke.
"Do you want revenge?"
"Yes."
Since then, he has become a member of the "Subversive Fangs".
After countless brutal death trainings, he survived and managed to kill all the knights who invaded the village, as well as all their relatives.
His revenge was over, but his heart was empty and numb.
Until one day, he met a man, a person who resembled him.
Her name is Winnie, Brancia. Winnie.
From this day on, his life seemed to have dissipated the haze, and from this day on, he really began to live because of a person. (To be continued......)
