From his point of view, the castle lord told the whole story again, and he said it in great detail, starting from the female demon named Fursa leaving the Xuanwu Continent, until he became the second castle lord in this castle.

Among them, the point he wants to express the most is that he is not as brutal and unkind as everyone thinks, the reason why he will kill the men, women and children of the tribe, and the reason why he has come to this point step by step has a lot to do with his younger brothers and sisters.

After listening to the whole story, Jiang Ling nodded with a calm expression, as if he believed the words of the castle master, but all the clues were still being integrated in his mind.

Su Wei's expression also changed slightly, but after flickering slightly, she returned to her previous resolute color, she didn't believe that the castle master would be as innocent as he described himself, after all, he was the one who practiced blood spells, he had the right to decide, but he put the last sin on his fellow brothers and sisters, it was just nonsense.

William Hao stared and pondered, and gradually focused on the magic circle around the castle master.

Jiang Ling suddenly raised his hand, like a primary school student making a report, and said, "Ask a question, why are your junior brothers and sisters still dead?" ”

"Because they're crazy." The castle lord said solemnly: "They had already lost themselves at that time, and after being tired of the twisted pleasure of enslaving the already miserable people, they chose to blindly pursue strength. ”

"Three months after killing Fursa, they also began to practice blood spells with me, and they were even more fanatical about the power of blood spells than I was."

"They began to mutilate civilians and frenzied blood, first against those who rebelled against them, and then at the end of those who were not obedient, leaving behind only trembling slaves. However, they still can't stop them from killing. ”

"Of course, I was the same. Many of these civilians died at my hands, but at least I wasn't crazy. The castle lord said in a heavy voice: "The civilians in the castle continue to die, and in just four months, there are less than three hundred people in the castle!" I had to warn them not to continue killing. ”

Jiang Ling interjected at this time: "But ten people practice the blood spell technique together, and the supply of blood from the living body is already in short supply, and it is possible to be immortal." ”

Jiang Ling quickly thought of this, originally a person cultivating blood spells, hundreds of people squeezed out half a cup of blood per day is already a very large amount, although it is still not good for health, but at least in a few years they will not have to worry about their lives, if there are more women in the tribe, maybe the monthly menstrual blood is enough for that person for a few days...

But when ten people practiced blood spells, and most of the slaves in the fort were brutally killed, the blood that those people needed to pay every day would increase exponentially, and it would not be long before those civilians would be severely anemic, and finally the remaining blood in their bodies would not be able to sustain their life needs at all, and they would only die slowly.

"That's right." The castle lord nodded, "It wasn't until there were only fifty civilians left in the castle that I finally realized that the situation was irreparable, so I began to stop them from continuing to collect blood. But they have been devoured by evil, and they actually oppose my request, and even put forward the idea of going to Nanyan Kingdom to continue killing people and collecting blood. Oh, they're crazy, it's self-defeating to do that! I unceremoniously attacked them, and I killed eight of them one by one. Two others finally gave in to death, and they knelt down and begged for my forgiveness, vowing not to kill the rest of the people again, and willing to be cattle and horses for me, and I left them alive. ”

"I collected the blood from the dead brothers and sisters and filled it into this pool of blood, so that I would not have to take the blood of the remaining civilians for a long time, so that they could recover a little. What I didn't even expect was that three days later I was on the verge of breaking the border, and I had to stay here to break the border. And those two junior brothers, when I broke through the realm, came in and destroyed my blood condensation array, causing me to be counterattacked, seriously injured and unconscious, fortunately, I was prepared, and this defensive magic circle was also laid inside. They couldn't break the circle and went upstairs, and by the time I woke up, they had killed all the civilians inside the fort. ”

"I was furious when I noticed this, and I attacked the two of them, they thought that I couldn't do anything to them if I couldn't get out here, but in fact I had already left a trace of my own essence on the two of them, and by using blood spells, I took them both... Turned into a bloody corpse! ”

When Jiang Ling heard this, he also thought of the two bloody corpses he saw in the castle, one of which was squeezed into ketchup all over the ground by him, and the other was beheaded by William, and his bones were smashed by his own vines. Before, he was still curious about how some of the disciples of the Nanyan Martial Sect died, and some of them became bloody corpses, but now he got the answer from the mouth of the castle master.

William, on the other hand, noticed one of the details, asking, "You can't go out?" ”

"That's right." The castle lord nodded frankly: "I was counterattacked when I broke through, my skill regressed, and I was eager to deal with those two people after I woke up, which made the situation worse, and I can't even break through the formation I left behind." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling had a black question mark face, then glanced at Su Wei, and said to the castle lord with a smile: "If your request is that you want us to help you open the magic circle, then... She's doing it. ”

Su Wei glared at Jiang Ling, and then snorted coldly: "You like to think and think, I won't believe his nonsense." ”

"Listen to his conditions first." Jiang Ling looked at the castle lord and asked calmly, "After talking for so long, what do you need me to do?" Didn't it help you open the circle? ”

"That's right, I need you to help me open the circle." The castle lord spoke, "I can promise that I will not harm you, after all, you are Skywalkers, and if you attack you in vain, you will inevitably suffer unforeseen calamity. What's more, I'm seriously injured at this time, as long as you don't attack me, I won't make trouble myself. ”

"Oh~" Jiang Ling nodded, and then said, "How do you open the magic circle?" I guess this circle can't be smashed, right? ”

Jiang Ling thought that if this magic circle was difficult to smash open, then the castle master would just taunt the three of them inside. And judging from Su Wei's current attack on this protective shield, it really doesn't look like it can be smashed open in a short period of time.

"It's almost impossible for your power to shatter the circle, you need to use what you have." The castle lord looked at Jiang Ling's waist.

Jiang Ling looked down and saw the bone bottle and bone whip hanging on his waist, Jiang Ling chuckled lightly and said, "This thing is finally going to come in handy." Say, how to use it? ”

"This is Fursa's bones, because of the unique nature of the blood spell, there is still some power left in these bones, you throw them into the pool of blood, I can use them to break the formation." The castle lord said this, and added: "I can tell you frankly that even with the help of this external force, it will take me a long time to break through the formation, which is enough for you to fly away with the treasures in the castle." ”

"Wow, that sounds appealing." Jiang Ling said this, but his face was flat, as if he had just listened to an excerpt from Mr. Journey's Journey to the West.

Su Wei frowned and glanced at Jiang Ling, and said, "No matter what you think, I won't believe his nonsense." Maybe it's just that he is in the critical period of breakthrough at this time, and it's not that he can't get out of this shield, but he doesn't dare to come out. I'd rather continue to open the shield under my own power and kill him. ”

Jiang Ling wanted to persuade Su Wei to calm down, but then he saw that Su Wei's body was getting more and more flushed, and the whites of his originally bright eyes could no longer be seen, and they were all blood-red.

It's not that Su Wei doesn't want to think, but she doesn't have time to think, she prefers to believe in her first instinct.

Jiang Ling nodded to Su Wei silently, and then said, "William, what do you say." ”

"Me." William smiled helplessly, but then the curvature of his mouth decreased, the smile gradually converged, his eyes were indifferent, and he said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I might kill you two." ”

"Huh." Hearing these terrifying words, Jiang Ling tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Let me guess, you will definitely not allow me to really help the castle master escape from the ascension to heaven, nor will you allow Su Wei to split the magic circle, although that possibility is very small." ”

William nodded, "Yes." ”

Jiang Ling snapped his fingers and said, "So your task is to not let him come out." ”

"That's right, my mission is to use the power of the circle to trap him inside, not only will I not help him open the circle, but I will also cut off his hope of opening the circle." As he spoke, William took out a bone ornament from his arms, which was faintly glowing red, and William snorted coldly: "Since he needs this thing, then I will destroy this thing." ”

After saying this, William took the ornament in his hand, and with the other hand grasped the hilt of the sword, he was about to smash the ornament.

"I advise you to wait." Jiang Ling raised his hand and said, "Are you so sure that this method is right?" ”

William frowned, but still stopped what he was doing, and wondered, "What do you mean?" ”

Jiang Ling held his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and clarified his thoughts again, and suddenly pointed to the castle master in the blood pool and said, "I have a guess. ”

"Huh?"

At this moment, the castle lord, Su Wei and William didn't know what Jiang Ling was thinking when he fell to the ground, and what he was going to do.

William asked impatiently, "What are you going to say?" Now there are only three of us players left in the dungeon, and you haven't triggered the main quest yet, don't you think...."William's eyes lit up, and he said word by word: "I don't know what you're thinking!" ”

As soon as William's words came out, Su Wei's eyes also flashed, and she suddenly remembered the introduction of the rules given by the battlefield information at the beginning - [If the number of people who complete the mission is less than three, the last surviving player will be rewarded as the winner. 】

This rule means that if the number of players who complete a mission in the battlefield is less than three, the last player to survive will also receive a winning reward.

And this last survival, obviously, the focus is on the word "last", and in general, this last refers to one and only one person.

In other words, Jiang Ling, who has no main quest at all, wants to get a reward and win, and the only way is for William and Su Wei to die in front of him!
