Chapter 1049: Exploring in the Dark Night (2)
"It's a nice environment," Paramides cautiously walked into the box and led the door with him. As soon as the door closed, the noise outside was cut off by the well-soundproofed walls of the box, and the whole box was suddenly quiet.
"Oh, little Palamit, my brother!" said Philios, who gave Palamides a warm hug as soon as he came up. He held on so hard that Palamides could almost hear the screams of his own bones.
"It's going to hurt...... The leopard warrior said gloomily.
"Oh, sorry. Philios let go of Palamides: "The bones are still as brittle as ever, my little Palamy!" "Nonsense!" The Leopard Warrior walked over to the couch and sat down side by side with Philios, reaching for another glass of wine on the table: "Let's go ahead of the curve, it's okay to drink with you, but I'm already a wife man, and I'm afraid my wife Vivien will be upset - so don't call those messy barmaids, okay?" "I knew you'd say that, so I took them away beforehand." Philios leaned back on the sofa and took a leisurely sip of whiskey, "Don't worry, it's just us brothers here tonight, and there are no activities that are not suitable for children." "Hmm. Palamides took a sip of whiskey, and the fine wine rippled in the throat of the leopard warrior, the strength of the alcohol slightly burning the big cat's tongue.
"Remember?" said Philios, putting a hand on Palamides' shoulder, and whispered, "When we were little imps, we stole a bottle of wine from the cargo of a human merchant ship. We little idiots were drinking in the secret base, and that was the first time we had a drink. "And we were unlucky enough to get our hands on the strongest crow tequila. Palamides shuddered when he remembered that time, and said, "Well, when that thing slipped into his throat, it burned like fire, and the strength of the wine was terrible." "Hahaha, yes, everyone was drunk that day, and when you got up the next day, the floor was full of last night's food!" Philios laughed eatingly, "You kid got drunk immediately after taking a sip, and you took off your clothes and rolled around in the snow outside, saying stupid things [I'm going to burn], and you got pneumonia and stayed in bed for two weeks." Palamides' face flushed: "Don't mention that kind of thing...... "So what?" Philaeos asked, "What happened to all the thieves, and are there any still alive?" Ryannas, Cadiz, Rem, Iskana...... They all starved to death in the famine when I was ten years old. Torres and Barn died of the plague. Cerdis and Sandas were killed by humans during the attack on human merchant ships when I was thirteen years old. In the end, I was the only one left, and at the age of fourteen I joined the army and followed the Hackett Patriarch...... For revenge on humanity. Now that I think about it, I was so stupid. "Oh?" said Philios, with a low sigh, as if to ask.
"Hackett's leopard scum is the culprit. Palamides took another sip of wine, and his anger seemed to evaporate with his wine, turning into a looming smoke: "You know what? However, in order to solve the population problem at that time, the patriarch of the Glick tribe restricted the parents of each tribe from giving birth, keeping only the first child, and the second child and subsequent children were abandoned in the wilderness and left to fend for themselves. ...... And that's us. We orphans were not abandoned by our biological parents, but by the policy of the time. After hearing this, Philios's face was as calm as water: "I've heard of this too." "You know that too?!" Palamides looked at Philaeos incredulously, "Then why do you...... "The policy at that time was like this, and there was no way to do it. Philios smiled blandly, "Or rather, I should thank Patriarch Hackett for banishing us into the wilderness, not directly into the river or the lair of the beasts." Although he is a leopard scum, he at least gives us a chance to survive. The leopard warrior looked at his brother incredulously, surprised by Philios' generosity: "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded, Philaeos. "Why not?" Philios took another sip of wine, "It's been more than thirty years ago anyway, so let it pass." Now it's just you and me, little Palamit, my good brother. "About this...... The leopard warrior also looked at Philios with a puzzled face: "I have a lot of questions for you. "You want to know why I'm still alive, right?" Celeos shook the crystal wine glass slightly, and the ice cubes in the glass collided with the inner wall of the glass slightly, making a wonderful sound: "I can sue you for a qiē, but this will be a very, very long story, and its contents will probably make you feel uneasy." After hearing this qiē, you may even dislike me—and even then, are you going to listen to it?" "No, I won't dislike you, Philios. No matter what happened to you, you are still my brother. To me, as an orphan, you are my brother. Palamides looked at his brother sincerely: "You were obviously dead at that time. How did you survive, what did you go through over the years, and how did you get this job in Cairo's big casinos...... I want to know all about this qiē. "Good. Feleos breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of his heart: "So...... Where to start?" he pulled a dagger from his waist and coldly slashed at his arm.
"Philaeos?!" Palamides jumped up in fright when he saw the blood coming out of his friend's arm: "Are you crazy?!" "Calm down. Look closely. Feleos laughed dismally and cut off a piece of flesh from his arm with his dagger.
No, it should be said that it was torn off. He made an incision in his arm, and immediately followed the incision, tearing off a palm-sized piece of his own hide, along with the hair.
He threw the piece of flesh with blood on the table and gasped deeply: "Haa...... Look, look closely. "After being skinned, Philios's arm, which should have been a blur of flesh and blood, is regenerating at an alarming rate. Within a quarter of an hour, Philaeos' wounded arm was restored to its original state, and even the blue leopard fur had grown.
"It's ...... Super Recovery?!" Paramides swallowed.
"Yes, the same super recovery power as the White Bear Man. Philios put away his dagger and replied in a slightly wheezing voice, "When I was caught by the humans and stripped of my fur, thinking I was about to die...... Suddenly awakened to this ability. In order to survive. "Unbelievable!" Palamides' gaze involuntarily focused on Philaeos' arm. There was almost no trace of blood on the arm except for a little blood, and the new hair completely covered the old wound, covering up the thrilling scene just now.
"The price of acquiring this ability is that I have lost my transformation ability and can no longer use madness. Philios added: "Moreover, this ability has saved me, but it has also plunged me into a hell from which I will never recover, and I will not be able to survive or die." The leopard man leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes, and began his memories.
Originally just wanted to get it.
I want to be full, I want to be warm, I want to be happy.
So, with a group of wanderers, he scavenged in the wilderness, sometimes hunting monsters, sometimes robbing human merchant ships, and sometimes crossing the border between Rome and the Gric territory at night to steal from human towns.
This group of thieves composed of leopard people and children has never been so rampant.
And a qiē is just to survive.
In order to survive, he thought it was a matter of course for him to do so, and he and his friends never doubted it.
The little wild cats that no one wants and no one loves, even if they eat sin and filth and clothe themselves, they have to live.
Countless of their predecessors were captured, killed, and even brutally skinned by humans, but their members were always replenished - there was no shortage of outcasts in the wilderness, and no matter how many they died. He thought that if he continued to do this, he would one day seize happiness.
Until that day, the dream was shattered. The [sins] he committed brought about the consequences of all the evils that he would never recover.
"Run, Palami!" shouted the boy, watching his brother flee from the desert.
His younger brother was going to live, and he knew he was going to die. Because, at that time, he had been pinned to the ground by several strong human men.
Half of the thieves escaped, and the other half was left behind.
As if planned, as if it was another reincarnation, what happened to the predecessors of the thieves group befell Philios again.
The leopard boy is good at running away, and humans have known about this for a long time. The humans brutally knocked off Celeos' leg with a heavy stone mallet, so that the boy could no longer escape. The severe pain pierced his heart, and the leopard man boy was dizzy, and his eyes were full of stars.
In his darkening vision, the other two companions beside him were cold corpses, one with an arrow in the head, and the other from an axe in the back, killing him instantly from blood loss.
These crazy and greedy humans can't wait to take out their knives and cut them on the corpses of these dead leopard boys.
Cutting, knife after knife, separating the fur of the leopard boys from muscle and fat.
It's like skinning a beast.
