Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, like a life-threatening note, and the sound resounded through Demita's heart. The old priest felt that his heart was about to burst with these three knocks, and the armrests of the gilded wooden chair were instantly pinched and disshaped.

"The door, ahem, it's not locked." Demita tried to calm her voice as calmly as she could, and mustered up the courage to reply

"Oh, I'll come in then."

The luxuriously decorated hatch is extremely smooth between opening and closing, without making any sound. The blood-colored demon carrying the long sword slowly appeared outside the hatch. Spurted viscous blood, staining the scaly body, leaving a long trail of terrifying footprints on the ground. The thick bloody qi rushed in, and the hair on the back of the neck of the excited old priest stood on end.

"I thought you'd lock the door tightly." With a smile on his face, Ren Yuan lowered his head and squeezed in through the slightly narrow hatch.

"With this door, it can't stop you at all, right?"

"What are these words, do I look like a thug who will break down the door?" Ren Yuan raised his hand and asked as if innocent

"You killed Hitterx?" Demita asked with a tense face

"Hitex?"

"It's the silver-haired priest who fought with you just now."

"Oh..."Ren Yuan nodded his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile, "No, we talked very happily at first sight, and there were no unpleasant conflicts." He's still lying on the bow of the boat looking at the stars... Do you believe me when I say that? ”

The old priest knew that the other party was playing tricks on him, but he was almost out of breath under the pressure of death, so he could only try to say something so that he would not go crazy on the spot.

He thought that the moment he was discovered by the other party, he would be killed on the spot. But for some reason, the man in front of him, who was like a demon, had no intention of doing it immediately. The feeling of being put on the chopping block and not being able to wait for a fatal knife is really more painful and painful than death.

In fact, the old priest did not think about jumping into the sea to escape, unlike the believers on the ship who had only experienced divine revelations. Even though he was only a mid-level D-class Chosen One and was already old and frail, jumping from the side of a ship more than thirty meters high was not enough to kill him.

But the problem is that the hound in front of him is undoubtedly extremely good at tracking and seeking the enemy, otherwise it would not have touched the oil tanker on the high seas from the coast of country Z in such a short time. In the absence of supplies and no other people's cover, the chance of a successful escape by jumping into the sea is simply zero.

Although I don't know how this hound overcame, Hitex, who embodied the sacred artifact of the Broken Steel Sword, was powerless to compete with the other party on his own. Now that life and death are completely out of his hands, he does not intend to do those useless struggles, but is determined to make a big gamble on the last hope of survival.

"Don't you do it yet!" Seeing that the other party did not immediately act or make clear his intentions after entering the cabin, Dimita, who was tormented by the former's verbal ridicule, finally became angry. Rather than suffer humiliation before death, it is better to return to the arms of the god of light as soon as possible.

"Are you in a hurry?" Ren Yuan chuckled, "I still want to talk to you more." ”

"I don't have anything to talk to you about!" Seeing that there was hope of survival, the old priest hurriedly spoke in a thick accent, and said with a resolute face, "I am Demita, a mid-ranking priest of the Zoroastrian sect, a devout disciple who believes in the god of light. The secrets of the sect are more important to me than anything else. You don't want to get any denomination information from me. ”

"Oops, it's broken, it's broken." Hearing the other party's naked hints, Ren Yuan also slapped his head fiercely, as if he had just remembered something, and said angrily, "It's easy to kill, you should leave a few more live questions to ask." ”

"What about the lowly believers who succumb to your obscenity and rebellion against the gods? They have no access to important information. Fearing that the former had missed something from the killing just now, the old priest hurriedly said in a righteous manner, "On this Friga, there are only two priests, me and Hitex. But Hitex is already dead in your hands, and I will never betray the God of Light, so you will die of this heart! ”

"Well... That's a real problem. Ren Yuan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"Faith is priceless, you hunters..."For fear of angering the former, the old priest swallowed back the words that came to his lips "These heretics who don't believe in the god of light can't understand it at all."

"I think that everything has a price, and of course there is faith." Ren Yuan's face was full of amusement, "The so-called refusal to give up faith is often just that the other party's price has not been opened, or the exchange given is not precious enough." What do you think, Priest Demita? ”

"Faith is priceless and supreme. I've never heard of anything worth more than faith. ”

"Really? But I think the value of life is much higher than faith. Ren Yuandao: "Don't you think so?" ”

"I can give up my life for the sake of faith!" Demita's face was still grim

But if all the believers are dead, who will believe in the gods? Isn't life the foundation of faith? Ren Yuan said step by step, "Although faith is a very noble thing, life may not be incomparable." ”

"Death is not the end, but a return to the arms of the God of Light." Demita's expression was solemn, and he said endlessly, "Sacrifice for the gods will free all suffering, this is forever..."

"It's okay, old fellow, I don't have that much time to act with you, almost." The smile on Ren Yuan's face suddenly dissipated, and he said coldly, "If you really want to die, I will satisfy you." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm getting a little carried away—" the old priest was silent, and bowed his head in a shrunken manner. 918

"So, are you willing to say that?" Ren Yuan sneered and said, "Doing these twists and turns, is it interesting?" ”

"Will you let me go?" Demita mustered up the courage to ask, "How can I be sure that I will survive?" ”

"There are three options in front of you right now." Ren Yuan narrowed his eyes, raised three fingers and said, "One, together with those corpses outside, return to the embrace of the God of Light." ”

“…”

"Looks like you don't want to choose this." Ren Yuan chuckled and said, "Then the second option, I will hand you over to the hunter organization of country Z, as for what the research institute of the Ministry of Disasters will do with you, then I don't know." ”

"And what about the third option?" The old priest knew that since the other party had said so, the third option was the point

"To be honest, I don't really want to bring you back to the Ministry of Disaster." Ren Yuan smiled weirdly and said, "Do you know why? ”

"I don't know..."

"If we bring you back to the Ministry of Disaster, it will be tantamount to bringing the conflict between the two organizations to the fore, not to mention how your side reacts to tonight's losses. According to the temperament of the Ministry of Disasters, I have obtained ironclad evidence that you interfered in the Advent faction in country Z, and I will not give up. Ren Yuandao

"When you get to the hunter's research institute, there are a lot of things you can't say if you don't want to talk about them. When the time comes, if you find out the location of some other overseas stronghold, and decide to go to retaliate against your sect, instead of asking us guys to help, wouldn't it be asking for trouble? ”

"So, what do you mean..."The old priest suddenly realized in his heart, he had long heard that the hunter organization of country Z was good at training hunting dogs for the disaster department. But an alien is a stranger after all, and when it comes to core interests, how can he really be willing to work for mankind?

"I mean, we don't have to make things that complicated." Ren Yuanqu lightly tapped the spine of the Sin Yan Sword with his fingers, and said with a light smile, "As for me, I do have a few questions I want to ask you. All you need to do is answer my questions, and I'll judge what information you should let the hunters know. ”

"What about me?" The old priest asked

"I had already slaughtered that crow just now, but..."Ren Yuan said, "One of the eight lifeguards only chiseled through the bottom of the ship, and it was not completely broken, although it took a little effort, it must not be difficult to repair." After rummaging through the storage room, it is still easy to find the rations and fresh water for one person. ”

"Even if I escape tonight, losing the Friga and sacrificing a silver-haired priest. Even if you return to the sect, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death...", the old priest said in a deep voice

"It's none of my business, it's your own problem." Ren Yuan interrupted the former's words with a wave of his hand, and said with disdain, "But what I want to remind you is that you don't think that you can save your life by choosing the second path." If I'm not mistaken, you're just a mid-level Chosen One, right? For the Thunder Dragon Brigade of the Ministry of Disasters, you don't need this kind of waste. And when you enter the hunter's research institute, you can consider what will happen to you. ”

"This..."

"Besides." Ren Yuan said meaningfully, "Even if you want to choose the second path, then I have to take you back to country Z, whether there will be any accidents on the way, but I can't say." ”

"Doesn't that mean I have no choice?" Demita smiled helplessly

"At least choose the third path, fate is in your own hands for the time being, isn't it? If you really have the guts to drive a lifeboat to find the disaster department of country Z, I won't stop you. ”

Demita pretended to bow his head and think, but in fact, he had already made up his mind.

In fact, he had long had plans to break away from the Zoroastrian sect. After so many years of dirty work for the sect, he secretly has a lot of savings. He knew very well that he was such an old and frail Chosen One, with a low Divine Chosen level, and no backstage background. There is no room for growth within the sect, and there is a possibility that they may be pushed out and become victims at any time.

For a Chosen One like him, a powerful Adventist sect is indeed a good place to hide from hunters. But the more powerful the Adventist is, the less it is a good place to retire. Because in these Adventists, there are technologies that small organizations don't have, that use those precious resources.

The Chosen One, for example, is a very valuable resource in itself.

From the Zoroastrian point of view, tonight is undoubtedly a great loss. But from Demita's own point of view, it was not a rare opportunity. Just give him a dinghy and the most basic survival supplies, and he will be able to get anywhere with complete certainty.

He would be chosen as the priest in charge of the great ship, and he would sail the vast ocean for more than ten years to take on the role of messenger, all of which naturally went hand in hand with his independent reality. When it comes to surviving alone on the sea, under the same conditions, another silver-haired priest, Hitex, is also difficult to match.

"To be clear, I'm not sure I can answer all of your questions." The old priest said with a slight self-deprecation in his tone, "As you can see, I'm just a mid-level waste. Within the Zoroastrian sect, there is no high status. ”

"Answer what you know." Ren Yuan said, "How to judge is my business." ”

"So, what's wrong with you?" Demita took a deep breath and said in a deep voice

"Just ask."
