"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper, I just ····· I feel like you're always hiding a lot from me, and it makes me feel like I don't know you at all. ”

Arena lowered her head, looking a little sad, and there were even faint tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's not too secretive, I'll tell you it's okay, but you don't want to spread it. ”

"Hmm. Arena wiped tears from her eyes.

"Before, there was news circulating in the shadows, it seems that something appeared in the southeast of the empire, and then the above also issued an order to our dark department, telling us to pay attention to investigating whether anything unusual is happening in the southeast. Arkada's face became serious.

"That's why I've been sent here?" Arena had a look of surprise on her face, as if she didn't know there was such a secret.

"Yes, but I can only determine that the range is in the southeast, near where we are now, it is a large area, and the dark department can't send too many people, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of people who are interested, so it is really difficult to make progress. ”

"What does that have to do with this guy named Nexus, do you think he has something to do with it?"

Arcada nodded.

"Actually, I'm just guessing, and the probability of having something to do with him is not very high, this kid had a little accident when I was presiding over the awakening ceremony for him, and not long after that, the news came out above, so I paid a little attention to it.

Later, this kid's performance was simply a troublemaker, but he did show extraordinary talent in magic cultivation, so I reported to the higher-ups, hoping to absorb him into the shadows, and even if it had nothing to do with him, it wouldn't be a loss to pull him into the shadows. ”

"I see. A sudden look appeared on Arena's face: "But if he knows this in the future, it will be fine, right?"

"That kid is a man who understands, how can we save him for no reason without a purpose?" Arcada smiled slightly, "Even if he shows extraordinary potential, it will not be enough for us to pay us to help him settle this matter." ”

After that, Arcada looked at Arena in his arms and said dotingly, "Don't lose your temper in the future, it will make me very embarrassed." ”

"yes, I see. ”

Arena leaned against Akada's chest, her face beaming with happiness.

The sun rises slowly below the horizon and then moves continuously, arcing across the sky and finally hanging high in the air, spreading a fiery and bright light across the earth.

In the city of Bakool, it was close to noon, and the public execution was held as scheduled.

In such a sunny day, all the people in the city were happy to go out and watch the public execution.

On a makeshift platform, tall iron pillars are erected.

And 'Xx' was chained to an iron pillar, his eyes closed, and he didn't say a word.

There was a crowd of people in the audience, even more than the people at the time of the trial, after all, the trial has nothing to look forward to.

Watching the excitement and watching the misfortunes of others is the most popular thing for people to do.

But Witt didn't come, probably because he couldn't bear to see his best friend executed.

Reiner, and Reiner's uncle, Chad Cice, arrive to watch the tragic fate of the man who had been against the Cisse family, and they talk and laugh about how Quex would react when he was executed, whether he panicked or begged for mercy in despair.

I'm really looking forward to it········

The trial was presided over by a priest of the Judgment Division, who wore a dark robe and had a solemn expression.

He first introduced the identity of the Necromantic Wizard of X, and stated the relevant crimes, and in his mouth, Xes became a murderous, bloodthirsty and ruthless boss.

Just after noon, the black-robed priest gave the order.

"The time is up! Burn the prisoners at the stake!"

The crowd shouted excitedly.

—

At the same time, in a brightly lit room with all sorts of equipment, a group of people were busy inside, and Fox was lying on a bed, and a man in a white coat stood next to him, holding a delicate knife in his hand.

"Are you ready? I've injected you with the potion, but it might still hurt a little. ”

"Let's get started. Fox closed his eyes.

"Very good, hold back, after the end, there will be a life magician to treat you. The other said, the knife in his hand shining with a cold sheen.

—

The person in charge of the execution next to him walked up to X, who was a fire magician.

Burning flames rose from his hands, turning into fiery serpents that snaked up the iron pillars, winding around Kerr and the iron pillars.

Then, the fiery serpent burst, the flames rose into the air, and the intense heat spread in all directions, and the crowd couldn't help but retreat, but the enthusiasm remained undiminished, and the mouth kept shouting.

Gradually, however, the crowd quieted down, and all looked a little stunned, for instead of making pleasant screams and begging for mercy, the prisoners tied to the iron pillars grinned and even made sounds.

The fire burned his body, his face was already charred, his skin was curled, and the heat burned his throat and trachea, causing him to cough violently, but even so, he was still laughing.

The smile matched the burnt face, and the hoarse laughter, like a demon.

The face of the executing magician showed a look of anger, originally controlling the temperature of the flames, wanting the prisoner to endure severe pain before death, but the other party's performance was simply a provocation to him!

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the demonic energy in his body was running wildly.

The temperature of the flames rose sharply, and the energy was all restrained, and under the terrifying heat, even the iron pillar was melted, and the body of 'Lux' finally could not bear it, and gradually turned into ashes, shattered and dissipated.

"Hahaha..." Only the last mocking laughter remained, and I don't know if I was mocking myself or everyone.

Neither Reiner nor Card expected that Kerr would be so hard that he didn't even scream under the burning fire, and his last laugh was sarcastic about them?

"Hmph, in the end, it's not like you'll end up with no bones. Kad said, and then looked at Reiner next to him: "Reiner, don't worry, it's all over, you will inherit the Cisse family in the future, become one of the most powerful people in the empire, and lead the family to a brighter future." And he, on the other hand, will endure endless suffering in hell. ”

"Uncle, I don't care, how can I be angry with a dead man?"

Reiner put on a nonchalant smile, but Kad couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he looked at his somewhat ugly eyes.

Originally, I wanted to take him to see the tragic situation of Reiner and untie the burden in Reiner's heart, after all, the shadow that Reiner brought him before was too big, and if it was not completely eliminated, I am afraid it would be very detrimental to Reiner's development, but the result seemed to have the opposite effect.

"This damn civilian boy is going to block people when he dies!"

A shadow flashed in Card's eyes.

—

"Okay, let's see for yourself. ”

The Life Magician stopped the output of magical energy.

The man in the white coat clapped his hands with satisfaction: "How perfect." ”

Nexus touched his face, and after treatment, the pain was completely gone.

He looked in the mirror, and inside was a strange and familiar face, with a rare outline, but the specific appearance was completely different.

Staring at himself in the mirror, Kerry's eyes were calm: "Kerx is dead, my name is Bel Air." ”
