The whole courtyard was in ruins, and the rising sea of fire evaporated the water in the pool, and the blue waves were sparkling, and it was so cold that it was so cold, but there was warm water vapor, like shadowless snakes slowly ascending, swimming and winding around one person after another.

The soldiers on the periphery watched warily, their fingers firmly on the trigger, waiting for Arthur's orders.

Everyone was waiting for him, waiting for his instructions, and he looked at Eve, countless threads stirring the old heart.

Of course he knew what Lorenzo meant, he was the cold decision-maker beside the railroad tracks, and the value of Imam Lawrence was obvious to all, and he could not let him go for any reason, but at the cost of his daughter.

It was a difficult decision, so difficult that even the iron-hearted Arthur began to waver.

Time slowed down in the long silence, and Lorenzo looked at the entangled man, the mighty Duke and the administrator of the Purification Mechanism in the Dark, who had a scepter in his hand, but now the great power could do nothing.

It's so sad.

He can make the torrent of steel destroy the city and crack the pool, but he can't even protect his own daughter, and because of the daughter of his heart, even the iron will will produce countless cracks.

After all, Arthur is just a mortal, and without the halo that hangs over him, he is just an ordinary person, a father.

Lorenzo suddenly felt a little tired, looked at Imam Lawrence in front of him, although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to say that Imam Lawrence was right, very right.

The weapon should be like a weapon, there is no feeling, there is no communication, it is just sharpening the edge, and then killing the target.

No friends, no life, no care, so that it has no weaknesses.

Arthur is a very powerful man, and like the Stuart family, the history of the Phoenix family also runs through the entire glorious war, and every generation has a young man with the surname Phoenix going to the battlefield, even after so many years of ending the war, this ceremonial act has not ended, and generation after generation of people have gone to the war in the shadows.

He can wield a sword and cut iron, and he can command a thousand armies, but in the end he has a family and a daughter, so no matter how strong the steel is, it will be soft, so he has a weakness.

Lorenzo seemed to feel tired, not himself, but from Arthur's slightly shaky body.

"Arthur, who we don't have a chance, his power is Shandafeng, he can predict the future Shandafeng, he can see the 'effect' before your 'cause' happens, and any tricks are useless. ”

The strange and cunning Shang Dafeng, this power is triggered without any physical changes, it is difficult to discern, if it weren't for Lorenzo's recollection of that ancient title, he would probably have been kept in the dark by now.

"Mr. Holmes, have you made such a decision?"

Arthur asked suddenly.

Lorenzo nodded, his face blank.

He did it a long time ago, he was the last man to keep his senses, and he dealt with the last out-of-control witchers on that ship.

Lorenzo had long ago pressed the cāo) pole of fate, and the train roared past, crushing the once familiar faces.

"I see. ”

Arthur whispered again.

"So you made your decision?"

Imam Lawrence looked at them with a smile, the broken sword was on Eve's jaw, he didn't care if these people were stalling for time, or something else, he was very powerful, and he also had the capital to despise everything, no matter what they wanted to do, Shang Dafeng's power would be predicted in advance.

Although the burden of this power is very large, and he can only predict the future in about ten seconds, it is enough, with the power of Laureus, these ten seconds are enough for him to kill everyone, and then drift away.

The only difficulty was Lorenzo, who couldn't do any damage with his sturdy armor.

"Yes. ”

Arthur replied, his eyes sharpened, and walked over to Imam Lawrence.

"Are you going to give up on her?"

Imam Lawrence looked at Arthur, and the broken sword was raised slightly, so that blood flowed.

"No, just a hostage swap, what do you think?"

Arthur said. This is a result that no one thought about.

"What are you doing!"

Lorenzo yelled, but Arthur ignored him and continued.

"I'm Duke Evra Phoenix, the current head of the purification agency, codenamed Arthur, and I have in my head the keys to important systems such as the Serpent Voyeur in the Atrium, and by the way, some knowledge of the Original Sin Armor...... I guess I'm worth more than her, right? ”

Arthur slowly raised his hands and stopped where he was.

In fact, there is another solution to this problem, not to press the cāo) vertical pole, not to push some unlucky ghost down, but to meet the roaring train yourself.

The best of both worlds, just sacrificing yourself.

The demons will die, and Eve will survive, and that will be a good story.

Eve looked at Arthur, she didn't know what the so-called purification mechanism and code name were, but she just looked at him in a daze, this extremely strong person finally compromised, for her sake......

"That's a ...... Big fish!"

Instead, Imam Lawrence let out a cry of joy, he had been lurking in the old Dunling for a long time, but his infiltration of the purification mechanism was extremely slow, and he could not even find the location of the mysterious Broken Dome, let alone contact a high-ranking person like Arthur.

"Then it's better to come over by yourself. ”

Imam Lawrence opened his other hand as if to hug him, but then looked at Lorenzo and smiled.

"I can see it. ”

The smile was so hateful, like a nightmare, Lorenzo knew exactly what he meant, in the foreknowledge of the Lawrence Patriarch, Lorenzo suddenly attacked him in a different way, at the moment of the exchange of hostages.

He warned Lorenzo.

"No...... No, you should ......"

Eve looked at Arthur who was coming, but Arthur kept looking directly at Sheaker Lawrence, with a firm and steady step.

She began to regret that if she had listened to him, she would not have been on a small island now, and she would not have to fight or be bloody, and Arthur would not have been exchanged for him, but there was no chance of saving it.

"Don't come here!"

Eve yelled, then waved her hand and tried to hit Imam Lawrence, but the broken sword was bī) in again, and she could only endure it.

Arthur didn't look at her the whole time, as if he was afraid that Nari's dam would burst, he stopped, then raised his hands behind his back to Sheikh Lawrence, broke his sword and left, and then pointed at Arthur.

"I said I saw it!

Sheikh Lawrence suddenly shouted loudly, and the situation suddenly changed at this moment of hostage exchange.

He looked mockingly at the swooping iron knights, Lorenzo was still too slow.

Whatever the outcome, Lorenzo would not let Imam Lawrence go, the mysteriously missing Imam who may have been one of the masterminds of Advent Night, the closest he could have been to that night.

But as Imam Lawrence said, Lorenzo was still too slow.

Without warning, the broken sword pierced Arthur's mouth from behind, and Arthur looked at the bloody nail sword in disbelief, and then it was pulled out again, and the man fell weakly.

Imam Lawrence had no intention of exchanging hostages from the beginning, and with Arthur's will, he couldn't pry anything at all, so it was better to kill him to weaken the purification mechanism.

Eve opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, only a meaningless whimper, and she could only watch Arthur fall, and then it was as if something was burning.

She didn't want to run away, but there was a kind of desperate rage, there was nothing to fear, and when she tried to rush forward, the shadow that had been silent moved to the side, and Seleucus pounced on Eve, and then the girl who was silent as ice took Eve's hand, and pulled her desperately in the direction of the soldier like dragging a cargo.

Bystanders clear, what can be done in the current situation is to reduce casualties as much as possible, Eve struggled, but the wounded girl was as firm as steel, without saying a word, staggering and dragging Eve.

But at that moment the brilliant whiteness exploded again, and Imam Lawrence looked at Seleuc with a smile.

"Run!"

Lorenzo roared, trying to reverse the fate, but he knew he couldn't do anything, he was too slow, so slow that in the gap between his arrival, killing the two or leaving with Eve was enough for Sheak Lawrence.

Tens of millions of thunders rang out, and countless aluminum bullets galloped towards Imam Lawrence, and the deadly lines of fire were woven into a web of death, but this could not affect the doomed end.

He was old and wielded a blood-stained sword, but the power of the broken steel was unmatched.

It's useless, it's useless at the moment, this is the enemy who can predict the future, all the endings are already in front of his eyes, no matter how much he resists, it's just going from one dead end to another.

Like the owner of the pasture, everyone is the lamb behind the fence, just waiting for his butcher's knife to fall.

The flaming trajectory glided in front of Eve, and as expected, it failed to hit Imam Lawrence, but it managed to stop his progress for only a few seconds.

But in these few seconds, the heavy and rapid footsteps sounded in the endless gunfire, as if carrying wind, rain, thunder and lightning, whistling.

A man that Eve could not have imagined appeared at the edge of the field of vision, and he was as powerful as a tiger.

You...... Still alive?

To be honest, after so many years of being with him, Eve felt for the first time that Arthur was so familiar and strange, he was obviously pierced by the broken sword, but now he was galloping like a tiger.

That face is so strange.

He has always been a smiling father, although he is a little overprotective of himself, but he has never shown his angry side in front of him, as if he wants to maintain the image of a good father.

But now his face was distorted like a demon, stained with blood.

He was more like a hungry demon than his father in his memory.

Don't come here, pretend to be dead on the ground since you're not dead! You're really going to die this time! This is the witcher, the terrible and powerful witcher, neither Lorenzo nor the roaring aluminum rifle can stop his march, what's the use of you coming?

There was nothing left to think about, and the blazing white surging broken sword slashed down fiercely, ruling everything.

The vision was overshadowed by an endless glow, but the light did not fall.

The broken sword sliced into his arm, but it couldn't go down, and the man seemed to carry the falling lie on his back, and he caught up.

"I'll just say you should listen to me, if you listen to me, you should be basking in the sun on some island right now, drinking wine and eating desserts......"

Arthur looked at Eve, a smile on her face that struggled, standing between the glow and hers.

"You...... You ......"

For the first time, Eve felt helpless, and she tried to pull Arthur away, but her hands froze in place as if she had lost all her strength.

It was only at such a close distance that Eve discovered Arthur's wounds, wounds that could easily take a person's life. She really felt like she was going to lose someone, but she couldn't do anything at this moment.

"Don't worry......"

Arthur said one last thing, and then he gripped the broken sword that cut through the blood, and turned to the glow and threw a heavy punch.

As a father, Arthur always felt that he was very incompetent, Eve had brothers, but they died one after another, for Eve Arthur poured everything into it, but because of the relationship with the demons, he always wanted to send Eve away.

Just like Lorenzo has always been taboo, it is easy for people who are connected with demons to pull people on the side into that whirlpool, Arthur knows that such people will not have a good end, he doesn't want Eve to be like this, reason and feeling ** wrong, let him suffer for a long time.

But tonight he finally doesn't have to hide anymore, he is the Duke of Phoenix, the heir of the War family, the war in the glory is over, but the movie has just begun.

Reimkh Lawrence was once again beaten back a few points, his mouth aching slightly, and he was hit by a mortal for the first time.

There was no anger, but he looked at the man in front of him with a little curiosity, and he grabbed the gap, the incomparably crucial gap.

Shang Dafeng's foreknowledge of the future was not long, only a dozen seconds at most, but Arthur appeared after those ten seconds, and just as he was about to act, the fragment of the foreknowledge came to an abrupt end.

"You're doing a great job!

At this moment, Patriarch Lawrence smiled and turned his head, and it was also at this moment that the flaming greatsword swept by.

Lorenzo hid his purpose, and when he swung that sword, Imam Lawrence didn't expect Lorenzo's plan to be buried so deeply.

The Witcher managed to make a point, and in that difficult choice he left Eve with only one way to live, and that way of life was hidden in his conversation with Arthur.

He points out the power of Imam Lawrence, and Arthur finds that fatal flaw in that brief thought.

When the power is activated, there should be a time to activate, and the cooldown between reactivation after the end of the foresight is an unobservable void for Imam Lawrence.

The wounded tiger hid himself in the gap of the future, and he didn't know when the power would be triggered, but he won the bet, so he did.

It was as if something was rising in the majestic body, and the long-dormant snow-capped mountains began to stir, and the ice and snow melted into torrents, followed by blazing fury.

That's not a power that ordinary people can have.

The Witcher?

But it was different, Imam Lawrence could not detect any erosion on his body, but then he saw that from Arthur's exposed skin, there were faint lines of light, in which were inscribed with the inscription of alchemy, as if he was in great pain, and his face was hideous.

He smiled cruelly at Sheikh Lawrence, and the flaming iron rider stood beside him with a great sword, blocking the girls behind him.

Now that Eve was safe, and he no longer had any weaknesses, the last shackles that bound the demon had broken.

"What the hell are you?"

He asked, holding the blood-stained broken sword, confused.

So Arthur smirked and said in a shocking voice.

"Have you heard of Captain Invig?"
