The girl was slightly stunned.

"Not only that," said the one-eyed leader in a low voice, staring into the girl's expression, in which he caught a glimmer of hope for his escape, "I admire a strong man with a promising future like you. I swear that I will follow you for the rest of my life...... A retinue and a servant by your side. ”

In the eyes of the leader, Victoria, who fought with him at the beginning, and Victoria, who shot down her weapon in front of her, did not seem to be the same personality. The other Victoria is unwilling to let herself go, just because the one in front of her won't.

"You ......"

"If you are willing to take me, I will obey all your orders," said the one-eyed leader, kneeling on one knee, "if you ...... I don't have to do it, I'll take care of it. ”

There was a faint expectation in the leader's one-eyed eye. He really couldn't fathom the girl's temper. For him, as long as the girl didn't kill him immediately, even if he was handed over to the Imperial Court, his purpose would be achieved.

[Xiaowei. 】

[What? 】

[No matter what I do next, please don't be surprised, okay?] 】

[uh...... Good. Xiaowei replied. This innocent and kind girl is already a little overwhelmed.

The girl took a deep breath. She quietly raised her face and felt the rain falling from the sky. She wasn't sure if the leader would be able to see through his pretense, but she had to try.

"Tell me. Your real name. ”

"Alexey." The leader fell to one knee without even raising his head.

"Your hometown?"

"Okad Federation, Puente, City of a Thousand Bridges." The leader replied very quickly.

"Where did you learn your art?"

"The old capital of Okad, the city of Bennetash," said the chief, "was still the capital when I studied art." ”

"Do you have any family in Okade?"

"All are dead," said the chief, "and they are killed." ”

"Uh......"

"The enemy is dead," the leader shook his head, "but it was not I who killed them." ”

A few seconds of silence. In the dark sky, the cold rain continued to fall.

"Can you tell me," said the girl, "who are you of the sea of clouds?" Blue Sky Class? ”

"When I was sixteen years old, I was already a high-level Yunhai level," the leader said slowly, "It is a sure thing that I will reach the Qingkong level before the age of twenty. My teachers valued me, but there were also a lot of people who were jealous of me. Thereupon...... They have set a trap," the leader paused, "My soul is cursed, my strength has dropped significantly, and I have no chance to advance to the Blue Sky level in my life. If it weren't for the help of a brother who sympathized with me, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

The girl nodded slightly.

In terms of skill and spell-casting talent, the one-eyed bosses are all at the level of the blue sky. But...... His hard power was stuck at the threshold from the Yunhai level to the Qingkong level, and he could never improve by half a point.

"I understand your distress," the girl whispered, "but I have one more question. ”

"Please."

"Maybe you're sad and angry," the girl's tone was tinged with anger, "but why did you form this illegal mercenary group after you left Okad?" ”

"I'm not willing to ......"

"I believe that you want to accumulate wealth and treasures and restore your strength," said the maiden, "but have you ever thought about how many innocent people have died because of you?" ”

The evil spirit welled up in the one-eyed eyes of the leader of the "......".

"Even your companions, you have not let go. They were loyal to you, but you tortured them by all means, so that their lives were worse than death......"

"This is my ......"

"I believe they have also knelt before you and begged for your forgiveness! Have you ever thought about ...... then?"

"Consider what?" The leader said, "How do they feel? ”

He couldn't control his contempt a little.

"It seems that you haven't thought about it." The girl said.

"It's just a bunch of useless people!" The leader roared, "As many as you want...... What is the need for us to respond to the wails of the useless? ”

The voice of the one-eyed leader echoed for a long time under the dark night sky. His face was slightly distorted, and every inch of his expression was full of resentment.

The girl looked at the man in front of her. Just because of this person, how many families have been broken, and how many people have fallen into the tragic situation of not being able to survive but not being able to die......

"Alexey. You think they're useless! I confess that you are right," said the maiden, "but in the same way, you are useless in my eyes. Your words are the wails of the useless! I killed you, and I don't have to worry about your feelings. ”

"You ......"

The girl didn't listen to him. The "Bright World" was slightly handed forward, and the sharp tip of the umbrella pierced the man's throat in this way. Blood splattered.

[Am I doing something wrong, Xiaowei? The girl asked.

[Nope.] You're doing the right thing. Xiaowei replied calmly.

With his eyes wide open, Alexei, the one-eyed leader, fell backwards.

"Is it over?" As his consciousness slowly dissipated, the vicious man seemed to have gone back in time, when he was studying in Okad's mage tower......

"You've caused yourself a troublesome adversary, Brother Nicholas."

The last thought flashed through his mind, and the one-eyed leader did not move. At the end of his life, a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

……

The turquoise bird, which was flying rapidly towards the five-nation alliance, suddenly trembled. It let out a very mournful chirp, turned around, and flew towards the Great Desert of Okad.

As Alexei's pet, it shares its sense of hearing with its owner. With this trick, Alexei spies on his men and opponents, and few can hide from his surveillance.

There is only one destination for the birds - the Floating Sand City in the Great Desert, the tallest and most majestic mage tower in all of Okad!

More than thirty years ago, Alexei's most respected senior brother gave the bird to young Alexei as a gift. And today, the bird, carrying out the last orders of its master, returned to its previous owner and told him the truth about Alexei's death.

And yet—

Suddenly the bird could not fly. At its side, a whirlwind appeared out of thin air, like an invisible cage, wrapping it in layers......

"Squeak......" The birds make frightened sounds. Although it is small enough to fit in the palm of a person's hand, its wings are as powerful as an eagle's. With this level of wind and rain, there is no way to stop it......

"Interesting. Peeked into the secrets of my empire and wanted to leave? ”

In the void beside the bird, a handsome man in white clothes and black hair suddenly appeared. He had a long aqua blue whip pinned to his waist, and a smile was on his face.

"Squeak-" The Emerald Bird's IQ even surpassed that of many human children, so it naturally understood what was happening. It just didn't understand, in the vast darkness, how did the man in white find himself?

Whew——

Although the bird tried its best to wave its wings, it was still held in the palm of the hand by the man in white.

"That little sister of the 'Bright World,'" the man in white muttered to himself, his face full of smiles, and the birds struggling in vain in the palm of his hand, "more rebellious than I thought." Interesting, interesting. ”

With that, the man in white vanished into thin air, as if he had never been here.
