Chapter 1264: The Temptation of the Outside World
"How...... How could it be ......"
With severe pain, the man at the head lowered his head and found that his exposed heart, which had completely shattered at some point, was like a rag hanging next to a bloody wound.
Soon, however, the massive blood loss began to make him feel weaker than ever, and he finally fell to the ground with his eyes black, and swallowed his last breath.
Until he died, he didn't understand how the lock-like phantom controlled the speed of blood flow in the blood vessels, and how the heart was crushed under tremendous pressure.
Looking at the bloody images of himself using his magic, Luke's eyes gleamed strangely.
Because at this moment, instead of the slightest discomfort, nausea, vomiting and other reactions in his heart, he was filled with a strong desire, as if killing a living being, to be able to bring himself some kind of power that could not be observed by the naked eye.
Lu ...... Luke: You're going to kill them all?" Malvina's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
It's one thing to kill a monster that invades a tribe's station, but it's another thing to kill a group of your kind who also have intelligence.
"Why not? You see, they forced me to do that. Luke shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
He could feel that when these people died, his control over the magical energy increased.
"Yes...... But ......"
Malvina obviously felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to express it, and she stammered for a long time and couldn't finish a sentence.
"Okay, not so much, but hurry up and search the body, and then we will leave this place as soon as possible after we have bought our things. ”
With that, Luke glanced at the people around him who were either in awe or carefully hiding themselves, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
To be precise, he found the reaction of the townspeople to be too strange.
Normally, when an outsider like him clashes with a local force, an organization responsible for maintaining order should come forward to mediate, or punish the party who violates the rules.
Otherwise, the town of Darazon would have been in chaos long ago, and it would not have been possible to have such a prosperous market and goods.
There is no doubt that either the organization that maintains order has more important matters and does not have time to deal with such a small conflict between a dozen people for the time being, or the really powerful guys are hiding behind their backs and throwing this group of beam-jumping clowns out as pawns for temptation.
The latter is much more likely than the former, and more in line with this cruel apocalyptic world.
But just as Luke was about to take the loot to the market to sell, and then buy something of value to return the way he came, a familiar figure suddenly blocked his way.
"Hey, little brother, we're meeting again. The woman wearing the blindfold took the initiative to say hello.
"Is that you?" Luke took two steps back warily.
Because he could smell the rich smell of blood that was inadvertently emitted from the other party.
This is obviously not the ordinary women of the tribe who are responsible for cooking, cleaning, raising livestock, and taking care of children, but a female demon who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.
The woman with the blindfold was visibly aware of this, and smiled and nodded, "That's right! I have to admit that the magic you just cast was a bit beyond my expectations. How about it, would you be interested in joining my team and going out there to see the wider world?"
"Your team?" Luke immediately frowned.
"A wider world?" said Malvina, looking expectant.
Appreciating the very different reactions of the two little guys, a hint of amusement flashed in the eyes of the woman wearing the blindfold, and then she explained unhurriedly: "Yes, as you can see, I am the leader of a mercenary team, mainly providing protection services to those wealthy merchants. In addition, we will occasionally join the wars and conflicts in some regions, and whoever pays more money, we will kill the enemy for whomever he wants. I've been to many places, I've seen great cities, and I've seen the last forest in the world. I promise that if you choose to join, you will enjoy many beautiful views that have never been seen before. ”
It has to be said that her words are full of strong temptation, especially for children who have just left home and are exposed to the outside world.
"Let's join!"
"We refuse!"
Malvina and Luke gave diametrically opposed answers at almost the same time.
"Oh, so are you going to join, or are you going to refuse?" asked the blindfolded woman, curling the corners of her mouth and smiling rather than smiling.
"Why refuse?" asked Malvina in a low voice, staring into her classmate's eyes.
"Because it's so dangerous! We don't know her, and we can't be sure whether every word she says is true or false. Remember, the outside world is full of deception, lies, and betrayals, not to mention that this is just a trial, and I must bring you back safely. Luke explained with a serious face.
After all, the reason why he came out with the girl was to find out his life experience.
Until he gets an accurate answer, the outside world doesn't have much appeal to him.
"No, I don't want to finish the trial under your protection! What difference does this cheat make! I want to use my own strength to go out into the wider world until I become a tribal warrior like my father. Malvina categorically refused.
Her attitude was so determined that before Luke could react, she ran behind the one-eyed woman first.
"Ahh The woman stroked the girl's hairy head, unable to hide the smug expression on her face.
It was obvious that she had long seen the relationship between the two little guys, that the boy was protecting the girl.
So as long as the innocent girl is dealt with, the boy will naturally not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
When violence and threats are ineffective, a few gentle tricks often have unexpected effects.
"Come back, Marvina, come back with me!"
Luke undoubtedly did not expect that the biggest obstacle to completing this mission would not come from the enemy, but from the protected person himself.
With a mature and stable personality, he didn't expect the outside world to be so attractive to a girl who has been in captivity for twelve years, let alone that the other party would bypass him and choose Malvina, who is easy to take the bait......
