"Do you know what I thought at the time? Do you know how I felt when I saw that body? Although the city lord did not laugh out loud, but there was a smile on his face, he looked at the staff in front of him with a smile, and the staff was a little shuddering.

Before the staff could answer, the city lord preemptively said: "We haven't eaten for seven days, I smell the smell of human blood and think it's fragrant, and after I found out that human flesh can actually be eaten, I can't wait to swallow the whole corpse in my stomach...... I want to tear a piece of meat off that corpse and chew it! ”

“…… But you still didn't eat human flesh after all. The staff was silent for a moment, wanting to look at each other seriously, but found that they didn't dare to look directly into those eyes, "We are very lucky, a caravan that has gone astray due to heavy rain has picked up us who have fallen unconscious, and the owner of the caravan is a kind middle-aged man who took a lot of effort to save the two children we picked up, and chose to take us in after hearing that we were both homeless." ”

The city lord looked at each other with bright eyes: "Then the two of us, with the help of our adoptive father, joined the army from Wen and the other, and walked step by step to the position of the staff and the city lord of Belia City......

At the end, he did not forget to add a comment: "Two boys who escaped from the slums and almost starved to death slowly became the city lords and staff of the Human Empire by their own efforts - this is really an inspirational story." ”

The staff looked to the side and found that the soup in the pot was getting hotter and hotter, and the white gas in the camp was getting more and more.

"Isn't that exactly what you want to do...... Just a few more steps up, and you can change the fate of our Ilun people. The staff suddenly wondered why the city lord did this.

The city lord shook his head: "Over the years, you have been a lot smarter, but you are still as naïve as before. ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"How can things be so simple, after I became the lord of the city, I found out that there are so many things...... I can't help it. The city lord grinned as he said this, showing a mouthful of teeth.

The staff was startled when they saw the other man's teeth......

for he found the teeth of the lord of the city, and his gums, and his upper and lower lips...... At the moment, his mouth is dipped in scarlet blood!

The staff's expression was a little complicated, he raised his head slightly, but he never looked at the other party's eyes: "When you were a child, you couldn't help but eat human flesh in such a difficult situation...... I thought you would never eat it in your life. ”

The castle lord's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he could clearly see the blood flowing between them, and his teeth were dyed a similar color.

The staff didn't know what the city lord's answer meant, so they wondered how to speak.

"You don't have to worry, what I've done has always been to change this world, to be able to lead us Iren out of hell." The city lord smiled and said seriously, "I have never changed. ”

"But are you really doing the right thing?" The staff's expression was gloomy, and it was impossible to see his inner emotions.

"I want to ...... You may be mistaken," the lord put the bowl on his lap and picked up a spoon and filled a new bowl, "only the active choice can be judged right or wrong. ”

The city lord's words made the staff a little confused, so he didn't know what the other party meant by this.

"No matter what you think I'm doing, I'm not going to make any changes, because that's not the path I've chosen......"

"This is the only way I go." When the staff heard this, they suddenly raised their heads and fixed their eyes on the city lord.

He found that the eyes were still the same as they had been a long time ago, not clear but very serene, and it was very reassuring to look at.

It's just that at this moment, there seems to be an indescribable and indelible sadness in these reassuring eyes.

It was like crying.

The staff had never seen the man in front of him cry, from the time when the lord of the castle was just a boy to now, in the past nineteen years, the staff had looked at these eyes countless times, but they did not see the emotion of crying in them once.

Not even when I almost starved to death outside the slums.

The staff who was still a boy at the time had carefully observed each other's eyes—those eyes were filled with all kinds of negative emotions: despair, anger, and unwillingness, but there was no sadness, and it didn't look like they were about to cry.

But at this moment, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he would cry at any moment.

The staff looked at the other party's eyes for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "What would you do if you met someone who prevented you from achieving your goal?" ”

"Kill it." The castle lord replied nonchalantly, as if the discussion between the two was not about killing people but about killing pigs.

"What if I'm the one who stands in your way?" The staff asked a question, but he quickly took a step back, as if he knew what the other party would say, but he didn't want to hear it for himself.

The question of having to be a staff member seemed to be very level, and the city lord was silent for a long time after hearing this question.

After a while, he replied slowly, "I'll think about it for a long time before I kill you." ”

Whether you think about it or not, the word "kill" finally shows the other party's attitude, and the staff suddenly couldn't help but feel a little disheartened after hearing this: "So after thinking about it for a long time, you finally decided to kill me today." ”

"That adventurer has a ghost, and I don't believe that adventurer is just a fool without force, and I don't believe that you have anything to do with him, so I thought you had something wrong with you from the beginning. It's just that I was speechless about what you said before, and it really made me think that you and that adventurer were all right. I wanted to confirm again before I invited you over again, if you really don't know today, then I can naturally let you go, but unfortunately it seems that today it seems ...... You still know too much. The city lord explained to his staff in a serious voice.

"You're still holding me back after all."

"You don't have to explain it to me, I'm not interested in knowing." The staff's mood seemed to become very depressed all of a sudden, he waved his hand weakly, and his voice became weak, "I heard a young adventurer say that in their hometown, there is something called the 'Hongmen Banquet'. ”

"Oh?" This fresh term made the city lord stunned.

"That is to say, the host has set up a big banquet and looks like he wants to entertain the guests, but in fact, there are many murderous intentions hidden in the secret, and he is eager to put the guests to death step by step."

"Actually, I knew before I came that this was probably a 'Hongmen Banquet', but I still came." The staff's voice was weak, but it was also calm, "The adventurer's lady said that the classic way of the 'Hongmen Banquet' is three hundred swords and axes lying outside the door, tossing cups...... Could it be that there are really 300 soldiers in ambush outside this camp, just wait for the city lord to smash your cup, and then rush in and chop me into meat paste. ”

“…… You can give it a try. The city lord looked at the staff and made a gesture of invitation.

The staff member glanced at the other party, then rolled up his sleeves and picked up the soup bowl beside him.

He accidentally spilled a little soup, which was already cold and dipped in the arms of his staff.

The soup dries quickly, but when it dries, it leaves a scarlet, blood-stained mark on the staff member's arm.

The staff member frowned, raised his hand and wiped his arm......

And when the other party is not paying attention, he takes out something from his sleeve.

He mixed it with the soup bowl and slammed it down on the ground.

Originally, there was only the sound of rain, wind, and boiling water, but now the sound of porcelain breaking was added.

Outside the tent, there were no swords and axes who rushed to chop the staff into pulp.

However, there was an extra point of light in the air that was neither bright nor dim.

When you look closer, it's as if a star has appeared out of thin air.
