Real 'Death'
After listening to everything the messenger said, Willstein did not speak immediately, but looked at the messenger coldly, and the messenger was inexplicably frightened by Welstein's coldness and silence, he could see that it was better to hear, and the fluctuations in the messenger's heart that he heard showed no signs of lying.
"Why did you do this, why did your family master betray the lord of the family?"
The messenger looked at Willstein and knew she couldn't lie in any way, nothing at all, "I don't know, I'm just a messenger, I'm just a messenger." ”
"Who is your master?"
"I can't say, even if you kill me now, I can't say." The Courier knew she had been cornered and had no way to resist.
"What is your purpose?" Willstein changed the question again.
"We hope that after you get the 'Rib of Death', you will unite against Mephistopheles and seal him in hell forever, never to come to earth."
"Then why didn't Ophelina come to talk, you want to betray your lord? What is your purpose? ”
"Ophelina is depressed, she can't lead the family to be strong again, this makes many nobles in the clan feel worried, they are afraid that their inheritance will be affected because of this, the head of my family wants to help the family return to its former strength, we are willing to exchange the 'rib of death' for eternal peace between the two clans."
"You're lying." Welstein stretched out his right hand, and the long fingers slowly turned into werewolf claws, and the pupils in his eyes changed. "Or maybe you're hiding something."
The messenger was terrified, she retreated again, and there was a big tree behind her, she had no way back, she said the rest, "Wait, yes, my master also wants another thing from the Bloodline, something that people know very little, my master didn't say it, I only know so much, our plan is to let you save your son first, and then drive Mephistopheles back to hell while the deal is made." ”
She saw Willstein in front of her slowly retract his claws, "I still have one condition, when the time comes, I will hand over William. Minosta has come to pay tribute to the warriors of our people. ”
"Okay, I'll tell my master." The messenger took out a USB flash drive from the pocket of his jacket, raised his hand and threw the USB flash drive like a sharp arrow full of bows and flew towards Willstein's face, Willstein's eyes did not waver, he raised his hand to catch the USB flash drive in front of him, when he removed his clenched hand, the messenger had disappeared in front of him, and her smell gradually faded, this is not important, he took it in his hand and looked at it, thought for a moment and turned away.
The bumps on the road interrupted Wellstein's meeting, he didn't know what the conspiracy of the Blood Clan was, this was definitely not the time to relax, now he had to disarm the bomb on Neo's body as soon as possible, otherwise, he and his clan would be led by the nose, and Ophelina was really willing to give up the legendary treasure of the entire Blood Clan for her daughter? I believe she will make the right choice.
After a long journey, the convoy slowly drove into the village, where there were already villagers who welcomed their triumphant return, the returning people got out of the car and said peace to each other with their relatives, hugged each other, spread the fruits of their actions, everyone waited for the sun to set, and carried the weak and unconscious Olovia from the container car into a wooden house, everyone came over to look at the princess of the blood clan, many young werewolves had never experienced the dispute between the two clans, they all rushed to see what the blood clan was like, everyone made a way for her, whispered about the beauty and temperament of this noble princess, and some people were resistant and disgusted with the blood clan.
"Okay, everyone, we have to be ready to prevent the sneak attack of the blood clan recently, according to the plan we have made, everyone is in place." Willstein stood on the steps of the house and said to the people below, everyone dispersed one after another, Willstein turned around and whispered to Ryman, then went into the house, made a chair on the fire and looked at the flames jumping in front of him, the wood was burning, he took out the USB flash drive and looked at it, and threw it into the fire, he wanted to think about the next plan.

When the sun rose again, Thomas and Resley came out of the cave, looking at the dazzling sun, listening to the crisp birdsong, breathing in the fresh air of the earthy fragrance, Thomas stretched and looked at Resley next to him rubbing his sleepy eyes, the events of last night made them both very tired, although they were physically tired, there was still a lot to do, they had to find a car to continue their journey, they needed to find something and water to maintain their energy.
Risley and Thomas covered the cave with branches and went to the river to wash it briefly, Resley took off her coat and put a handful of cool river water on her face, and the feeling of chilling spread throughout her body.
"Alright, Resley, let's go to the scene of last night's accident."
"Well, and my backpack, mine has a phone call with Eddie and tells him about the recent events." She thought for a moment and said, "I guess there is no signal here." ”
"Come on. Let's see if we can find a car or something around. ”
They came to the wreck of last night's car, took their belongings, and the two went their separate ways.
The two meet in the cave at noon, and Thomas asks Resley as she pulls out some food from her backpack, "Did you find the signal?" ”
"Yes, climbed up, the signal is not too good, at least some." Resley pointed to it. "It's strange that the scene of the accident was covered up, and some blood stains can still be seen." She took a loaf of bread.
Thomas thought for a moment with one hand on his cheek, "Forget it, no matter how much it is, what information did you get from Add?" ”
"No, Eddie said that they have received a few orders of business recently, all of which are false information, and there is nothing wrong with it at first, so it is not surprising that such a thing is not true, after all, not everyone can meet real demons, but Maggie has always been detecting her location through the Internet recently."
Thomas shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing, there are many scary attacks on the Internet every day, I used to do this in the army, nothing strange, there are not a few boring people in the world." ”
"No, if it is, then it's good, it's not an ordinary attack, it's more like a common tactic of the military, Gao Ming concealment has almost exposed their location a few times, Eddie suspects that someone is deliberately fishing for them to take the bait, this kind of thing has happened before, they used to be tabloid reporters, rich and boring rich kids, and children who are looking for excitement, I feel different this time."
"You suspect Add, they're being targeted?"
"It's possible, and it's possible, a well-equipped organization."
"And where are Eddie, going to evacuate?"
"Yes, they're ready to go, find a place to get out of the limelight."
Thomas thought about it, looked down at the branches under his feet, and deliberately crushed the branches with his feet to make a "pop" sound, Resley pinched her hands and looked into the distance, turned around and said, "By the way, Eddie also said that he found a legend ......"
Thomas became interested when he heard Resley say "Legends", and he looked at Risery with interest, listening carefully to what Risery was saying.
"It's just a 'legend', or it may be a fabrication or a ...... Or as a madman imagines, there's a book about the 'rib of death,' but it's just a little bit......" Resley said, staring at Thomas's face, and Thomas usually listens to such legends as stories, especially such fantastical stories.
Risen said half of this, which made Thomas feel very tormented, as if there were thousands of ants crawling in his heart, and he looked at Risery with surprised eyes, as if to say, "Hurry up, go on, I can't stand it anymore." ”
Resley looked at Thomas's expression and giggled, "Come on, Resley, hurry up, you're very upset like this." ”
"Okay,...... Resley retracted her laughter, "I know it's not good, I just want to ease the bad atmosphere for the rest of it, I'm just ......"
"Ry-S Leigh-" Thomas said impatiently, dragging his voice.
"Okay, okay, death ribs, no, it's not accurate, the tree says the bones of death, and it says that death is just a skeleton under the black cloak, without flesh and skin, which represents the end of life in the world, and it is also the end of time for all creatures in the world, or is it just a doppelganger, they are just fulfilling the obligation of death in the world, do you understand?"
Thomas shook his head, and Resley patiently explained, "The 'death' we see is only a part of death, so you should understand this explanation." ”
"Yes. Go on. Thomas seemed to be reminded.
"In fact, it should refer to the 'death' in the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', and the other knights also have doppelgangers, but we haven't seen it, to put it more clearly, in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, death is just the result, I refer to human beings in general, and other knights are the process."
"This ......"
"That is to say, there are several kinds of processes in which human beings die, the first is to fight with others and die, and secondly, to die of illness or starvation, these are all processes, and the final death is the result."
"So what does this have to do with the Death Rib? Uh, the bones of death. ”
"The bones of death are the only thing that can avoid this outcome, I just said that there is not only one 'death' in the world, there are many 'deaths', if someone gets the bones of death, they can deceive other 'deaths' without being harassed by death."
"Immortality, and do you mean that there are also many 'ribs of death'? According to you, this rib doesn't know if it's the doppelganger. ”
"I don't know, no one has ever done anything crazy, not even demons. There is also a theory in the book that death is the only god who can open the doors of the world. Resli was very nervous.
"How do you understand this?"
"It is 'death' that can lead the souls of the dead to other worlds, such as heaven or hell, and it judges the souls first."
"Well, it means the same as a two-channel pipe in a pipe."
"No, it's a three-way or a four-way......" Resley held out three fingers, and Thomas didn't know how to understand for a moment.
"And Purgatory and the Knights' Domain." Risley added.
Thomas thought for a moment, "And how do you get the bones of death?" ”
"Well, the book doesn't say how it is possible for a living person to see death, and even if he does, he will not have the opportunity to pass on this experience, you know...... So it's a 'legend', I don't know if the madman made it up, anyway, that's all the information at present. ”
Resley and Thomas fell silent, and Resley asked, "What about you, what have you gained?" ”
Thomas shook his head, "No, I have a suspicion that there is a mole within the Bloodline. ”
Resley couldn't agree with Thomas's reasoning, "Well, yes, it's obvious, and that's what Jorah said. ”
"At first, it was just a guess, at least now this guess has been confirmed, our return trip this time should be hidden, accurately attacked by werewolves on the highway, the purpose is very clear, there is no delay in the action, it is definitely not a werewolf who is bored at night and walks and meets by chance, they are carefully planned, there is such a precise location to set up an ambush, there must be someone inside to ventilate the news, I suspect that we will meet the queen of the blood clan this time."
"You mean we're exposed, too?"
"Of course, Olovia's itinerary is said to be known only to her mother, and her mother will definitely not go around to publicize it, and Olovia is not deeply involved in the world, she will definitely mention our affairs to her mother, since their itinerary can be exposed, of course, our identity is not a secret."
"The person who can steal the secret affairs of the Blood Queen is not an idle person."
"It's not impossible to be a very powerful organization."
"So, it's dangerous for us to meet."
Thomas nodded and said, "This is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome is that the werewolves have kidnapped Olovia, and may take this opportunity to drag the two of us into the whirlpool of their war?" ”
"This kind of coercion is inevitable."
"Let's join the Bloodclan camp will irritate the Wolf Clan, no one can say what they will do, if they really kill Olovia with a hot head, everything will be a dead end."
"Then it's too late for us to turn around and go back."
"No, there is no way to turn back, we have gone too far, joining the blood clan is now inevitable, if we want to control this situation, then we have to start with the blood lord, we have to be fully prepared." Thomas looked back at the cave, and he knew that Jorah's threading had become very important now.
"It's okay to join the Blood Clan, then you have to see if the Blood Lord is sincere enough, and you have to see the 'Death Rib'."
"Yes, Resley, you're looking more and more like a businessman." Thomas watched as Resley nibbled on a bite of bread.
