Volume 1: Rising to Prominence Chapter 8: The Dragon's Sigh
Originally, Kex was still a little entangled when he saw the killing requirements on the mission, although he was not a good sage, but he had never done anything to rob and kill, and now he suddenly let himself kill, and his heart was still a little difficult to accept.
On the battlefield, there is no distinction between right and wrong, no meaning for good or evil, and all that remains is a standpoint.
When you're in armor and weapon in hand, all you can do is roar and swing your sword to crush all the enemies in your path.
What's more, the mission target is an evil organization like the Calamity Sect, especially after carefully browsing the details of this guy named Kevin, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Ariel Township, outside a private clinic.
"After taking these pills, your child will almost be cured"
"Doctor, that, I haven't collected any money yet······"
"It's okay, it's okay, write it down in the ledger first, don't worry, and talk about it when you have enough money. Kevin waved his hand.
"Thank you, Dr. Kevin! God is above, he will bless you. A middle-aged woman with patches on her clothes, with a grateful look on her face, picked up her medicine and left the store after thanking her repeatedly.
Kevin rubbed his brow and glanced outside.
It was already dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the town, which pulled out a long shadow.
"There shouldn't be any more patients, it's almost time to go back. ”
Kevin stood up, moved his body, which had suffered from back pain from the day's consultation, then packed up the medical bills and ledgers, locked the door of the clinic, and began to walk home.
The main street of the town was still very lively, and the voices of women were buying materials for dinner, and the voices of them negotiating with the stall owners echoed in the streets.
There are constantly people on the road to greet him, as the only clinic in the town, they are inevitably dealing with him, and Kevin has a kind personality on weekdays, often helping the poor who have no money for treatment, so he has a good popularity in the town.
Kevin responded one by one, a gentle smile on his face.
As he got closer to home, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the smile on Kevin's face faded.
Kevin's home is on the westernmost edge of the town, it is a house with a courtyard, the house is good size and decoration, but due to the remote location and the haunted legend, it was sold by the owner and finally bought by Keith at a very cheap price.
Opening the iron bars outside, and walking through a small garden, Keith took out the key and opened the door, entered the dark living room, and turned on the kerosene lamp.
Kevin's hairs stood on end suddenly, because in his peripheral vision, there was a man in a black robe standing quietly next to him!
"Good evening, Mr. Kevin. A smile crossed his face.
Then Kevin felt like he had been hit hard in the head and lost consciousness.
"What the hell is this?" was his last thought before he fell unconscious.
·······
Kevin gradually woke up, but he didn't move rashly, after feeling that he had been tied up, he listened patiently for a long time, and then opened his eyes slightly to observe the situation.
The field of vision is a man's trouser leg, and if you don't move your head, you can't see the specific situation.
"Now that you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep. Kerks, who was on the side, spoke suddenly.
After all, he is a trainee magician, and his perception ability is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, and Kevin's self-conscious secret movements are all seen by him.
Kevin saw that his small movements were discovered, so he simply struggled to sit up, and said, "Who the hell are you? I am the only doctor in the town, and if I disappear, I will be noticed immediately, I advise you not to ·······"
Bang!
A vase smashed into Kevin's head, shattering and blood running down Kevin's cheek.
"You ·······"
Bang! Another vase was glued to his head.
"Bastard, what the hell do you want to do, do you want money! I'll give it to you!" Kevin lost his initial calm, and his tone became a little agitated.
It's a psychopath! Can you still talk well!
"You don't seem to have a clear picture of what you're doing, Mr. Kevin of the Calamity. Fox tossed aside the broken vase in his hand and spoke slowly.
Hearing Kerry's words, Kevin was shocked, and then he looked around carefully.
The dim lighting, the mess of manuscripts on the table, and most frighteningly, the rows of various human organs soaked in jars filled with unknown liquids, and the two dead and complete corpses of children in transparent boxes.
The extremely familiar scene made his heart sink, how did he find the basement?
Kevin looked at Kerry, and his mood was even worse when he found the badge of the Akatsuki Legion on his chest that had taken off his black robe.
Kevin, the doctor in the only private clinic in the town of Poshi, had actually joined the Cult of Calamity many years ago, ostensibly as a life-saving doctor, but in fact he had been experimenting with terminally ill patients, which had led to dozens of deaths, and in recent months he had directly begun to kidnap healthy children as test subjects. ”
"It's really deep in disguise, kind and generous Dr. Kevin, ha. ”
Ignoring Kevin's ugly face, Fox said to himself.
After speaking, Fox looked at the corpses of the two children placed in a special transparent box next to him, the blood vessels on the surface of the corpses protruded, and the surface of the body was red, as if there was a flame burning in the body, and the death was unbearable to look at.
"Looks like that's them, isn't it?" Nexus sighed, "What a poor child." ”
"Let's see, what kind of experiment you've been doing, ah, I forgot, there's a notebook. Fox flipped through a book of open notes on the table, which looked old and shabby, and even had begun to fall out of the pages in some places.
Turn the first page, and there are four words written on it: Dragon's Sigh.
Scrolling down, there are dense formulas and many unknown materials, as well as data from previous experiments, and the subjects are all innocent victims.
Judging from the notes, the Dragon's Sigh is the name of a potion, and the effect of the potional is to stimulate people's potential, so that people can obtain the terrifying physical strength of a dragon, but the test subjects have severe rejection after taking the test products, and even the initial explosion of the test subject's body, even after dozens of improvements, the chance of surviving and gaining strength after taking the medicine is finally only about five percent.
In addition to many potions that Kox didn't recognize, there was a master ingredient in the list of materials that caught his attention.
"Adult dragon's blood?" he raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, sir, the blood of an adult dragon. Kevin's face became calm: "That was one of the overlords of this world before the rise of mankind, they did not only exist in mythology, there is even news that the dragon is not completely extinct. ”
An image immediately conjured up in Kers' mind: a huge dragon soaring between heaven and earth with its wings covering the sky, its claws destroying mountains, its breath setting off the tides, and its breath spitting out as if a natural disaster had descended and destroyed everything in sight!
But since all magicians can exist, the existence of dragons is not unacceptable, right?
"So what?" Kers's expression turned cold again: "This can't change your next ending, you still have to think about explaining your superiors, I can still give you a good time." ”
Kevin didn't get angry, but began to whisper: "I have longed to be a magician since I was a child and explore the mysteries of this world, but the end result is that I have no talent for awakening, can you understand my despair at that time?"
"That's why you're killing so many people?"
"Death, no, this is a great dedication! The data from the last experiment let me know the direction of improvement of the potion, as long as one more thing is added, ordinary people have nearly forty percent chance of being able to withstand this kind of power, even if they can't cast spells, they can have the strength and lifespan of a magician!" Kevin's voice became louder and louder, and his face became more and more fanatical: "It is their honor to dedicate themselves to this, I will change myself, and I will also change the world!"
Nex's brow furrowed, "Crazy." ”
"How about we make a deal?" Kevin regained his composure, "I'll make you a fill-up potion, and you let me go." ”
In his opinion, no magician would give up low-hanging fruit for the sake of the lives of a few ordinary people.
"Eh······" Fox sighed.
"Huh?"
"How is it that there are always people who like it····· Be smart!"
A flash of black light flashed, and blood gushed out.
"Whoa········ Kevin's eyes were full of incredulity, and he wanted to speak, but his slitted throat could only make a muffled sound.
In the end, with the reluctance and madness in his eyes, he still fell forward to the ground and lost his life.
