Prologue: The Bound Wolf
The town of Brewell, eroded by the tide of darkness, is filled with pain and wailing, and shadows haunt the ruins.
"Found you, Mr. Eno!"
A cry of surprise came from behind Chu Ge, as if he had found some dusty treasure.
Beyond the shouts, heart-rending cries and mournful corpses have long been numbing, and prayer has become the instinct of all.
The struggling commoners, the down-and-out nobles, are like wild beasts at this moment, fleeing under the ink-like sky.
By the time the ruins had been discovered, death and fear had become themes of life for the inhabitants of Brewell.
Chu Ge stood on the broken wall of the city wall, watching all this calmly and in a trance, and the hatred and sadness in his eyes seemed to be just a boring drama.
Of course, even if the script is useless, as long as you read it carefully, you can still find some bright spots occasionally.
For example, from time to time, there will always be some guys who are not afraid of death, or who are driven crazy by reality.
They shouted for protection and mission, moved the relatives and friends around them, and after earning enough tears from others, they rushed towards the torrent of alienated demonic beasts, and then they were torn apart in an instant and crushed into powder, like a drop of ink melted into the ocean, and they couldn't make a little wave.
Ignoring the sorrow, the voice once again conveyed:
"Eno Friedrich, the leashed wolf – listen, what a stupid nickname."
"It's sad that a powerful person like you, a legend of the shadow world, and an invincible god of death, is actually subject to that coward like a puppet!"
Chu Ge didn't look back, as if he was still immersed in the drama in the distance that had not yet been rehearsed.
Behind him, a middle-aged man with an extravagant spirit walked over,
Personable, chic and polite, dressed up and down meticulously,
Whoever sees it will involuntarily call a gentleman - except for the hypocritical sympathy in his eyes.
He was accompanied by a group of silent armoured guards, each of whom was as strong and trustworthy as a refined iron that had been tempered for thousands of years.
Although his greeting was ignored, Archduke Philip did not care, and still maintained his trademark smile that made people trust.
"It's useless to talk about this, guess what I caught?"
Archduke Philip clapped his hands lightly, and three men in prison were brought up.
"Come and say hello, this is your master, Mr. Jik!"
After hearing the word "Jike", Chu Ge suddenly woke up from his dream, and slowly turned around, his eyes were empty.
At Philip's signal, the cloth in Jike's mouth was taken out by the guards.
As soon as his tongue was liberated, Ji Ke immediately twitched the fat on his face and shouted loudly at Chu Ge:
"You bastard! Present the Supreme Crystal to Archduke Philip, who has promised to take my life! ”
After hearing Ji Ke's shout, Chu Ge's eyes suddenly had a hint of brilliance, he put his hand into his pocket, took out a crystal fragment the size of a peanut, held it above his head, and carefully observed it in the scorching sun:
"Oh? Hand it over? Are you sure? ”
"This is a secret treasure that contains the secret of the Creator, a secret treasure that even the gods covet, a divine object that you think about day and night!"
"Do you really want to hand it over?"
Seeing that the other party held the Supreme Crystal in his hand like this, the greedy look on Philip's face flashed, and he immediately squinted at Jike.
Seeing the inexplicable smile on Philip's face, the cold sweat on Jike's face trickled down, and he immediately shouted frantically:
"Are you crazy, didn't you hear my orders? Although your parents are dead, your sister is still in my hands, you have to think clearly about the consequences of rebellion! ”
The word "sister" seemed to be some kind of special catalyst, injecting the last trace of charm into Chu Ge's eyes.
Younger sister?
By the way, why am I here?
Chu Ge involuntarily lowered his head, took out the pendant hanging on his chest, and looked at that in a daze-
Broken pendant!
"Hey, Jike."
He raised his head and called forward, his voice unexpectedly hoarse, and he spoke with much more effort than before.
"Huh?"
Ji Ke was very puzzled, wondering why Chu Ge dared to ignore his orders?
"Are you fooling me?"
"What do you mean?"
Jike was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of what the other party was saying, and then, as if he had guessed something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the subordinate behind him who was also tied up.
Seeing his subordinate's forehead covered with beads of sweat at that moment, Ji Ke was shocked and angry for a while, he tried to swallow his saliva, and then grinned extremely reluctantly, trying to appease Chu Ge, and said stiffly:
"It's not uncommon for the chain of life to be accidentally damaged on the mainland, your sister must still be alive, she is still waiting for you to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Jike's head had been cut off by the guards!
From the moment Chu Ge resisted the order, his value had already disappeared from Philip's eyes!
After giving the order to kill Jik, Philip waved his hand and ordered the guards to attack Chu Ge:
"The shackles of war have been laid out, and you have no chance of escaping."
The death of the enemy did not arouse Chu Ge's joy at all, and the hatred for Philip in his heart did not decrease by half a point.
When the loss of hope and despair happened to him together, he had already lost the courage to live.
"You're right, I've always been a weakling......"
I don't know who he whispered to after whispering to someone, Chu Ge pulled out the bird-like dagger at his waist and stabbed it fiercely towards the fragment in his hand.
Seeing Chu Ge's movements, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Philip's eyes, if this could cause the Supreme Crystal to be damaged, it would really have the reputation of a miracle.
However, Chu Ge's stabbing blow did not fall on the Supreme Crystal, but poked at the edge of the fragment, and the silver blade floated through the air, and in a melodious cracking sound, a spatial crack was cut.
This strange behavior caused an extreme sense of foreboding to rise in Philip's heart, and he lost his former demeanor, and roared loudly:
"Stop him!!"
Philip's hunch was undoubtedly very accurate, and he saw Chu Ge gently press the fragment into the spatial crack, and along with his fingers, it disappeared into the distorted void.
What no one expected was that the moment the crystals with Chu Ge's flesh and blood touched the spatial crack, the crack suddenly seemed to be torn open by someone, turning into a heart-palpitating smile that completely swallowed him.
The same misfortune suffered by the Grand Duke and his guards, and by the way, the corpses of Jik and his two subordinates.
Broken bones, flesh and blood.
