Volume 4: Reliving the Nightmare Chapter 47: The Castle

His sword was seven inches long and three minutes long and had killed more than a dozen black-armored soldiers in an instant, and suddenly, from the dark night, countless sharp arrows shot through the heavy snow and shot straight towards Sherlock, his long sword turned lightly in the air, and those sharp arrows that originally took his life fell "Boom", and in an instant, they pierced from the top of the heads of those horses and the horses all let out a terrible neighing sound, falling to the ground, stirring up dust and snow flying all over the ground, and there was already a bloody rain and bloody wind on the battlefield, and the screams almost broke through the sky.

The scythe in the black gentleman's hand lingered with bursts of black smoke, and in an instant, more than a dozen black-armored soldiers had been killed, and the blood was splashed to seven battles high at once.

More black-armored soldiers poured in like a tide, and the long sword in Sherlock's hand flashed with cold light under the moonlight, and suddenly swung down to split the body of one of the black-armored soldiers into two, a stream of hot blood spurted up, and Sherlock also fell countless wounds on his body, and the white military uniform on his body was also cut by the long sword, and blood stained his clothes red.

Virgil pierced the heart of the silver-armored cavalry blocking him with a long sword, and suddenly stabbed Sherlock, right now, according to Edwina's words, the virus in his body should also attack and his weakness, because Edwina is the person who knows the other party best, Sherlock suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he endured the severe pain, holding the long sword in his hand to separate the long sword that Fergil stabbed towards his right eye, the sharp pain in his heart suddenly intensified, and his right hand holding the long sword was already trembling slightly, Virgil saw the opportunity, the long sword in his hand instantly pierced Sherlock's right eye, and then pulled out the long sword fiercely, blood splattered out, but before Virgil could be proud, a white light flashed through the air and pierced his heart.

After the white light, Sherlock's bloodied cold face plunged into darkness in front of his eyes, and then he dismounted and went The next moment, a warmth enveloped him, and Sherlock was immediately included in a warm embrace, and the black gentleman carried him onto his horse, and then ordered: "Retreat!" ”

Although the battle was over, there was still a lingering smell of blood in the air, and the three of the Bloodwing Nation led the remaining 450,000 black-armored soldiers back to the country with Virgil, who was seriously wounded and fell unconscious on the ground.

At noon on the third day, in the Ford Heslett mansion, Sherlock slowly woke up from his coma, his right eye was bandaged with white gauze, but he did not see the figure of the black gentleman, and could not help shouting: "Black gentleman! However, his voice was very hoarse, and he only felt a hot pain in his throat, and when he raised his hand, he felt the white gauze wrapped around his face, and for a moment the memory came flooding up, and he remembered that Virgil had stabbed him in the right eye with a sword, and how did the other party know his weakness?

Could it beβ€”before he could think further, the black gentleman opened the door and walked in, and when he saw Sherlock awake, he breathed a sigh of relief: finally awake!

A ray of sunlight shone through the crescent-white curtains, and there was only a cold winter in the magic city of Atlante, and there were basically no other three seasons, even such a sunny noon was still extremely cold.

Sherlock had been wondering why Virgil knew about his weaknesses and knew he had a virus in his body. And who told the news? Almost for a moment he even suspected that there was an inner ghost around him, this idea was immediately rejected by him, it was impossible for the black gentleman that he didn't have to betray himself, he was already bound by himself, Bersha, Felton and Esther? No, not really, for some reason Sherlock was so sure that none of the four of them had to betray him.

Moreover, since the three of them can be promoted to high-class magicians by the commander, and they can be sent to him, the other party must trust them very much, and they will never do anything to betray them, so it is just Edwina Sherman, who was driven out of here by Sherlock and has a grudge against him, yes, as long as the scorpion spirit spell in her body has not been completely eliminated, she can smoothly meet the nobleman in the Blood Wing Kingdom who can control her, the only wizard who knows the scorpion spirit spell - Count Berchaano Grant.

How could he ignore this person, Bersaano Grant is the third son of Prince Grant, the Grant family is the first wealthy family in the entire Blood Wing Country, and there are even fewer nobles in the Blood Wing Country who have been princes for generations, second only to the Emperor God Fergil, and the first magician family, and for generations only serve the king, Belcha Anno is reused by the Emperor God Virgil because of his ability to control the words and deeds of the enemy.

Sherlock thought of this, and a sneer quietly rose on his lips, the so-called puppet in the sense is that it is obviously alive but can only be controlled by others, at the mercy of others, without the slightest thought of its own, as if it is just a puppet with an empty shell, and the puppet will rot one day.

At noon, the sun is very gorgeous, and the clear light casts mottled shadows on the stone path through the overlapping trees, and the young shoots of wild grass grow between the cracks in the stones, and the stone path is lined with dense and deep forests, and under each tree there is a large and small grave, and on the branches of the grave hangs a bloodstained puppet, and when you see such a scene in the daytime, you will feel ghostly, and if you see it at night, it will become more and more eerie, and at the end of the stone road is an eighteenth-century ivory-domed castle.

At this moment, a haggard face, messy hair, ragged homeless man walked on this road, he also had a letter in his hand according to the address provided above, found this ancient castle, this is a mysterious person invited him to come, saying that after he came here, he can unconditionally fulfill his wishes, he has already suffered such a perennial wandering, living a life of no clothes and no food, this kind of pie in the sky, he has long been unable to care whether it is true or not, He was desperate to get rid of this life as soon as possible, so when he saw that there was such a good thing, he naturally couldn't wait to come.

The homeless man had come to the door of this mansion, the door was unlocked, he pushed it lightly, the door opened, he raised his foot and stepped over the threshold and walked in, the corridors inside were inlaid with a huge round rose window at a distance of five meters, and under each window hung a candle lamp, under the light of the candlelight, you could see that the dark red wall was painted with dense and strange patterns, although this corridor was very bright by candlelight, this corridor was only four hundred meters, But when I saw the semi-circular door at the end of the corridor, there were bloody handprints on it, and bright red blood flowed crookedly from the door panel.

Seeing this, the homeless man couldn't help but feel furious, his legs were a little weak for a while, he had come here before he felt scared from the bottom of his heart, and it was not good to go forward, he didn't know what terrible things would be behind this strange door, but he didn't want to give up this only way to change his life easily, he hesitated for a while, and was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, he finally walked all the way from the top of the corridor to the door, and hesitantly put his hand on the doorknob with the bloody handprint, and gently turned the door open, and the homeless man walked in, only to find a young man wearing a black bowler hat on his head and a black trench coat standing with his back to him, and he tentatively asked, "Excuse me, did you invite me?" ”

The other party slowly turned around and looked at him coldly, the other party had an extremely handsome face, but his expression was extremely cold, as if the ice under the cold pool had not melted for thousands of years, wearing a black blindfold on his right eye, and a black cane in his right hand.

He said coldly, "Yes." The boy's voice sounded cold and deep, "Do you want to change your life now?" ”

After hearing this, the homeless man couldn't help but be faintly excited, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!" Willing! ”

The young man raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked, "Then what do you want?" No matter how many you have, you can do it. ”

There was a hint of greed in the homeless man's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "I want money that I can't spend all my life, a luxurious mansion, and a servant who can serve me, a beautiful wife." ”

The smile on the young man's face deepened slightly, and he said, "I am satisfied with you, but you must close your eyes now, otherwise your wish will not work." ”

The homeless man didn't notice a trace of coldness in the eyes of the other party, he was already fantasizing about a worry-free life in the future, and he didn't realize that he was dying at all, but he closed his eyes with anticipation, constantly imagining that every morning when he woke up from the luxurious room, there was a rich breakfast on the table, and he no longer had to help others sell drugs to survive, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his face couldn't hide his joy.

Then, a young man's voice came from his ear: "Okay, you can open your eyes." ”

The homeless man opened his eyes slowly, originally thought that as soon as he opened his eyes, a suitcase of banknotes would appear in front of him, but there was no fantasy of a good life, he found that he was tightly tied by the other party with iron chains, and he couldn't move at all, he immediately realized that he had been deceived, and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with great annoyance: "How can you not believe what you say?!" ”

The young man sneered: "I just tricked you here, what do you think a drug dealer can make a good life, I am just eradicating rats for Her Majesty, how can I be untrustworthy." ”

When the homeless man heard this, he was "groaning", how could he know that he was selling drugs, and ...... Her Majesty? Thinking of this, a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart, he hadn't looked at it seriously just now, but now he couldn't help but carefully observe the other party's appearance, and was suddenly taken aback, the person in front of him turned out to be a noble earl, and his identity was not simple.

"You...... ...... are you?" the homeless man became, and the more he spoke, the more frightened he became, and his voice trembled, until at last he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

The boy smiled and added the next words for him: "I am the head of the Van Dom Hain family, Count Charles Van Dom Hain. ”

When the homeless man heard this, his face became more and more frightened, and he wanted to escape from here, but the chain was almost sunk into the flesh, and he couldn't break free at all, when suddenly a white light flashed, blood splattered instantly, a head rolled down, and the homeless man's body fell to the ground.

It was already five o'clock in the evening, and in the Ford Heslett mansion, Sherlock looked at the black gentleman and asked, "How is it, have you found out the whereabouts of Edwina Sherman?" ”

The black gentleman replied, "I have found that she is now living in a small cabin in the suburbs." ”

"Cabin?" Sherlock couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but it was three points colder than ice and snow, "Wait a minute, bring her to the commander." ”

"Why?" The black gentleman was puzzled, yes, why? Hasn't she already betrayed? And I think Virgil and they revealed Sherlock's weakness, is it all to this point that the other party still has to forgive that person? This was not like his character, he was even more surprised that Edvina could live in a cabin, and apparently had lived in it for a long time, but wasn't she still in the mansion the other day?

Sherlock knew what was going on in his mind, so he just hooked the corners of his lips and said, "You'll know then." ”

The black gentleman found that he couldn't understand each other more and more, and since he had said so, he would wait.

At this time, the night had already begun, Sherlock and the black gentleman came to a desolate place together, where there was a dilapidated log cabin in addition to the forest, the surroundings were silent, not even a living creature was seen, the two walked to the wooden door of the wooden house, Sherlock took the lead in opening the door, and saw the girl wearing a beige dress, her face was haggard, but the pair of ice blue eyes without a trace of dust, still made him quickly recognize this person as Edwina Sherman!

Edvina saw that it was Sherlock, and her eyes were full of tears, since a few days ago, the other party asked her to find a place to hide temporarily, but a month has passed, and the other party has not appeared, she almost thought that Sherlock had forgotten her, but today she finally saw the young man in front of her again, but- what happened to his eyes?

The black gentleman saw this and basically understood what was going on, obviously Sherlock probably guessed that the Blood Wing Congress was using Edwina, so let Edvina hide before it happened, then the person who insulted and reported to Virgil that day was not really Edwina, just a girl who looked very similar to her, but Sherlock is not the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately, so that girl must have a great hatred for him.
