The cold winds of the night made the rain a little heavier, and there was occasionally a dull thunderclap in the dark clouds of the sky.

In the thunder like heavenly punishment, Leo silently slashed the throats of the six humans in the alley who were transforming into dark creatures, and Bugati was once again stained with human blood after more than half a year.

Leo stood his Excalibur on the ground, letting the rain wash over the blood on it, and looked at Ente.

"Can you sense the number, direction, and strength of the dark creatures? ”

"From the east to the north, all of them are in this direction, the number is about two hundred to three hundred, and I don't feel the level of a few holy areas. ”

Leo nodded and looked at Isenus and Lizanka: "Then the defense of the east and north side is for you to gather other adventurers to defend together, Ent, you come to sense the dark creatures that are beginning to transform in Xinshui Town, and then go with little Paul to kill them, don't let them break through the defense line from the inside, I will go to Nana and Lao Mo." ”

With that, Leo disappeared into the night.

Rizanka looked at his back and felt like he was fleeing from the corpse in this place.

At night, Xinshui Town is not completely out of reach, and a few lightning bolts will stay on the ground for a few seconds from time to time.

Leo pushed open the door of the church, and a thunderbolt illuminated his gloomy face.

"Nana. ”

Leo's voice was so low that he couldn't even recognize it as his own.

Nana hugged Wei Du and turned from the bench, revealing her blue eyes. At this time, the thunder stopped in the sky, and the blue-white thunder light reflected in these eyes, which was particularly bright in the dark church.

I don't know why, seeing these eyes, Leo suddenly felt that the pressure brought to him by the difficult choice just now was reduced a lot.

"Why are you here?" Nana twitched her nose and smelled the faint smell of blood on Leo's body, and asked, "You had a fight?"

Even though the heavy rain washed over Leo repeatedly, he couldn't escape Nana's keen sense of smell in exchange for sacrificing light.

"It's not a fight, it's a massacre. ”

Leo sat down beside Nana, leaned forward, placed his forearms flat on his legs, folded his hands, and looked down at the ground.

"There are many humans who have turned into dark creatures in Xinshui Town, and dark creatures suddenly appear outside the town and want to attack the town, in order to prevent these humans who are about to transform into dark creatures from defeating Xinshui Town from the inside, I chose to kill these seven people with my own hands. ”

Nana saw that Leo seemed to have some self-reproach in his heart, and covered his hands over Leo's folded hands, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Leo stretched out his hands and wrapped Nana's small white hands inside: "Of course there is a problem, the problem is that the process of transforming into a dark creature can be stopped, as long as a little time and a little help, in other words, some of these people I killed should have been heroes who fought against the erosion of dark forces, and I, I am the executioner who killed these heroes." To make matters worse, because there are more people in New Water Town who are transforming into dark creatures, I have to kill more heroes. ”

Leo's fingers were slightly white because of excessive force, and Nana, who was scratched and a little painful, endured silently and did not make a sound.

Leo continued: "I know that I have killed many people in the past, just in the battle between the Sky Church and the Marquis of Golden Sands, I killed thousands of meters of soldiers with my own hands, but since I saw the followers of the Sky Church fighting for their so-called gods in ignorance, I knew that I was wrong, and since then, I have secretly sworn that I will never do my justice at will, but today, I have to break my oath. Nana, I..."

Nana pulled her hand out, gently hugged Leo's head, and comforted, "You didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, you did a good job." ”

Leo leaned his head on Nana's shoulder: "I don't want to be the kind of person I hate. ”

Nana lifted Leo's head, held him, let his eyes meet her blue eyes, and said, "You've never been the kind of person you hate. ”

A little hope rose in Leo's eyes again, longing for a little redemption from Nana's words.

"The boundary between right and wrong is never so clear, and the same thing has different conclusions in the eyes of different people, so we mountain people never stick to right and wrong, only pay attention to responsibility. ”

"Responsibility?"

"yes, you just have to be responsible for everything you do. Whatever you do, you will get the results, and you will be responsible for your actions. ”

"I have written down the lives and family information of these people, and if I run into them in the future, I will try my best to make up for them, is this considered responsible?"

"Good. Nana kissed Leo lightly on the forehead and continued, "But it's not good enough." Since you think they are heroes, you should treat them as heroes, and you should do so from the bottom of your heart, rather than taking it for granted as an equivalent exchange. ”

Leo looked at Nana and remembered the warm hospitality of Nana in the town of Winters in the town of Winter, who seemed to be responsible for everyone she met. He understood what Nana meant.

"I see. Leo picked up Nana's head and said, "What about you?"

"What?"

"Are you responsible for something? ”

"I—I've been responsible for you, didn't I make your three meals a day?" Nana narrowed her eyes, enjoying the temperature coming from Leo's palm.

Leo chuckled a few times, leaned his head to Nana, bit her ear and said, "You have always been a ray of light in my night. ”

Nana's ears turned red.

"Meow. ”

Leo and Nana were too close, which made Wei Du in Nana's arms feel crowded and let out a dissatisfied protest.

The two laughed twice, one big and one small, touched Wei Du, who was fierce and fierce.

"Old Mo, find him quickly, we still have to resist the invasion of dark creatures. ”

"He went to Father Zmin to inquire about something. ”

"What's there to inquire about, call him out and go. ”

The thunder rang out again, and Isenas and Lizanka arrived at the adventurer's tavern.

In the midst of the boisterous adventurers, Lizanka asked Isenath, "What are we going to say to get these adventurers to join us in resisting the invasion of dark creatures?" I think that if we tell the news, I'm afraid half of the adventurers in this tavern will run away immediately." ”

"Resist, who says we're going to resist, watch your words, ma'am. Isenus pulled out a dozen shiny gold coins from his pocket and slapped them on the bar in the tavern.

"The consumption of the whole venue tonight will be paid by Isenas!"

The noisy tavern fell silent for a moment, looking at Isenus and the glittering gold coins.

"Don't be stunned! Friends, drink to your heart's content! If you can drink all of the boss's wine cellar, I'll be able to cover the field tomorrow!"

People may be drunk and talk nonsense, but gold coins do not deceive, and there was a burst of laughter in the tavern, and a daring adventurer raised his glass and shouted, "Long live Isenas!"

The others reacted as well, raising their glasses, chanting Isenas's name, and drinking the contents of the glasses.

Ezanka had a drink with these adventurers for some reason, and asked strangely, "We are here to gather people, not to drink." ”

"Then why don't you refill the glass?" said Izannath, speechless, as he poured the glass in his hand again with orange liquor.

"Anyway, you're in for a treat, don't drink for nothing. With a few words, Lizanka was another glass of ale. "Tell me why you're giving them a treat?"

Esenas took a sip of his wine, looked at an adventurer walking towards him with a glass, and said, "You'll know right away." ”

The adventurer seemed to have been pushed out by his companion and walked towards the bar.

"Hello, my name is Kurolo, I'm a member of the Weeds, are you called Isennas?"

"Hello, Mr. Kurolo, is there anything wrong with you?"

"We should toast the big guy who treats him, although this glass of wine is your invitation. With that, Kurolo drank it all.

Isenus also drank the wine in his hand, and this glass of wine seemed to bring the relationship between the two a little closer, at least that's what Kurolo thought.

"Hey, man, you look like you're getting rich. Kurolo poured the wine for the two of them again.

"A little money, a little money. Isenus's nonchalant tone couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.

Kurolo leaned his head over, lowered his voice and said, "Tell me?"

Esenas glanced at the adventurers around him, and it seemed that quite a few of them were paying attention to him.

He also leaned his head over and kept the volume down to a clever range to make sure a small circle of people nearby could hear: "For the sake of you being the first to come to me, I'll tell you something." During this time, the adventurers in the town are probably all here for the dark creatures, right?"

Kurolo nodded, and said, "Who isn't? A most ordinary dark creature has twenty gold coins, which is a hundred times less than the dozens of silver coins that usually receive commissions. ”

"That's why I'm making a lot of money. Isenas said mysteriously.

Kurolo's eyes lit up and he said, "You found the cub of the dark creature?"

Isenus waved his hand and denied, "How is it possible, you must have heard too many bard stories, who has really discovered the cubs of dark creatures over the years?"

"That's just as well. Kurolo said smutteringly.

"However, I did find a large number of dark creatures outside of Xinshui Town, just around dusk today, I can come across one within a few steps, they are even easier to find than a bird's nest, our team is already killing a dozen, it is more than two hundred real gold coins. ”

"I see. Kurolo said with some disappointment, everyone knows that dark creatures are valuable, but they are just as dangerous.

"That's it?" Isenas glanced at Kurolo with disdain. "Think about the difficulty you usually have in finding the traces of dark creatures, and then think about the elusive movements of dark creatures, aren't these two things what we are afraid of, and now that these two problems have been solved, what are you still afraid of? Hmph, these gold coins on me are the best proof. ”

With that, Esenus waved his hand a little annoyed, refusing to talk to Kurolo again.

Kurolo had no choice but to retreat to his team.

But judging by the expressions of the Kulolo team members, the news is not so unattractive.

At the same time, this news was heard by two or three other adventurers, and they couldn't help but discuss it in a low voice, and the voices of these two or three adventurers were heard by more adventurers, one by ten, ten by hundred, and after a while, it seemed that all the adventurers in the tavern were discussing the news.

As the wind of discussion in the tavern changed, Isennus's face slowly changed, he stood up, and said loudly to the people in the tavern: "I'm sorry, guys, I think I still have some things to go first, you must drink to your heart's content, don't be polite to me, and don't be polite to the boss!"

Watching Esenus and Lizanka leave in a hurry, the discussion in the tavern suddenly became much louder.

The leader of the Kulolo clan tapped the table lightly, called his companions over, and asserted, "That Isenus must have gone to hunt the dark creatures." ”

"Does he see that we all know the news?"

"Nonsense, others are not deaf either. ”

"What about us?"

"Go, who knows how many of these dark creatures there are, we can't be left behind, who knows if this garbage is enough for them to kill. That Isenas was right, this is indeed a rare opportunity to make a lot of money!"

While the unknown adventurers were gearing up to go out in the dark and make a fortune, Isenus was already humming a little song and walking towards the next tavern under Lizanka's disdainful gaze.
