Section 25 The Secret of the One-Eyed Lizard (Part II)
Years later, there was a tyrant in Kansas.
The recklessness of military force has led to frequent wars.
The intelligent mastermind senses that the time has come and tries its best to attack Kansas.
Kansas is in jeopardy.
The tyrant's traitors offer advice, and slander the lizards originate from the "magic box".
The "magic box" contains a fountain of life that can quickly transform humans into lizardmen and turn the tide of battle.
And the key to open the "magic box" is in the hands of the old lizards.
The tyrant smiled, and in order to force them to hand over the keys, he constantly sent troops to kill them.
When the father of the old lizard, who was the patriarch, learned of this, although he knew the absurdity to the extreme, he was powerless to defend it.
The demons in the "magic box" breed and it is difficult to survive, and the ancestors of the lizardmen fled from it, and once made a heavy oath not to enter, and this oath is also known to Kansas.
The old lizard's father thinks that the "tyrant" asking for the key is fake, and he dumps himself as true.
In order to continue the bloodline, if the young old lizard leads people to find the "magic box".
Although the "magic box" is closed, it is extremely dangerous inside.
The old lizard did not know his father's intentions, and led people to force his way in, intending to find the source of life and turn the situation around.
As a result, the whole army was wiped out, and one eye was buried.
When he returned home, he found that his people had been slaughtered.
Because of the deep hatred of the snow, he is forced to take risks, infiltrate Kansas, and assassinate the tyrant.
However, he was alone, the assassination failed, and he was imprisoned here.
After the tyrant's death, Kansas stopped asking about the whereabouts of the key, and the old lizard survived.
At this moment, the old lizard tried his best to raise his head, as if holding back tears.
"Once upon a time, I had a son who was very lovely. Before revenge, he was still in infancy. I vaguely remember a red birthmark on his forehead......"
A cloudy tear snaked down......
The only sustenance to support the old lizard's survival is his bloodline.
The bloodline has been broken, and the old lizard that has lost hope is like a dead corpse, swaying like a candle flame in the wind, and it will be annihilated at any time.
Mark didn't know how to comfort the poor old man, an old man filled with hatred, an old man who had lost hope and was dying, and his heart was inexplicably sad.
Just as he was about to turn away, the old lizard asked loudly, "Young man, do you want to be the emperor?" ”
Mark, who was bluffed by the sudden remarks, was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at him.
Feeling that the other party was moved by his words, the old lizard's eyes were full of light and excitement.
The excitement made his voice sharp, and he exclaimed: "Just promise me one condition, and you will be able to reign over the world and become the king of kings!" ”
Mark was unimpressed by the old lizard's madness.
This crazy old man, with exaggerated rhetoric, probably wants revenge and wants to go crazy.
Mark was not attached to the title he kept saying "King of kings", and was not interested in such temptations.
"Sorry! I'm afraid I have no interest in the 'King of Kings'. ”
"Stop!"
Just as he was about to leave, the old lizard reached out and grabbed Mark's cuffs.
"Didn't you always want to go home? Think of your wife and children looking forward to it at home. Just agree to my terms, and you can help you achieve it. ”
His eyes flickered, a hint of cunning flashed, and the old lizard's smile was as sweet as honey.
The sudden change of words made Mark hesitate.
Go home!
It's too tempting for me.
Going home is your own hope, and you are your family's expectation.
Family......
Go home......
I want to go home......
I really want to go home!
It was as if I was carrying a bag and strolling down the country road in front of my door.
A fresh breeze blows, and the wheat waves on both sides ripple with the wind.
He opened his hand to caress the full ears of wheat, and his heart was filled with the joy of a good harvest.
When his wife and children in the distance saw the figure of expectation, they rushed towards him with a smile.
The lights are dim.
The mother was so excited that she was smiling all the time, and her hardworking hands had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The family gathers at the table and shares the joy of food......
Family!
It is the destination after the exhaustion of the dust, the harbor of tranquility and tranquility, and the meaning of life......
To this end......
I want to go home!!!
Mark bit his lip and felt inexplicably happy at the thought that his wish would soon be granted.
Even if the hope is only 1 in 10,000, we must strive for it.
"Tell me, how do you get home?"
"Hahaha!"
The old lizard smiled......
So happy! So insolent! So unscrupulous!
The sound of laughter echoed in the cell, and it didn't go away for a long time.
Had it not been for the princess's sake, the jailer would have been beaten.
The old lizard laughed and said coldly: "The requirements are not high, the condition is to destroy Kansas, and no one will be left!" ”
After speaking, his eyes were fierce, and his murderous intent suddenly rose.
Staring at Mark with falcon-like eyes.
"Can you say yes?"
At the thought of going home, Mark replied to the old lizard with an unwavering gaze, which was also resolute.
"Good! I promise you. ”
"Huh! ……”
Seeing the other party's resolute attitude and knowing that the bewitchment was successful, he couldn't help but stretch the haze in his heart.
"Good!"
With that, the old lizard raised his shackles and smashed his shinbone.
"The space inside the 'magic box' is very large and extremely dangerous, and if you don't die, there must be something to bring you home." The old lizard swore an oath, and did not hesitate to make a move.
I don't know what he's going to do, so I don't stop it.
There was no pain on his face, but a smile like the return of a dying man.
The smile was eerie, and perhaps a little hideous, but Mark was carried away by the temptation to go home, but he didn't notice the details.
After smashing his tibia, a tubular object was pulled out of the blur of flesh.
A cylinder of sealing is drawn from the tubular object.
It was opened in the jitter, revealing a leather scroll.
The scroll is yellow, the color is transparent, and it is a map.
The map is full of curved lines.
Seeing that the scroll was intact, the old lizard smiled.
With sharp nails stained with blood, mark a circle somewhere on the scroll.
Looking at each other with a sly eye, he grinned: "Remember what you promised." If you disobey the yin, even if I die, the ghost will linger until you die! ”
Taking the scroll and pendant, Mark took it into his arms and strode out, never looking back.
"Wowhaha! ~Oh haha......"
A mad laugh came from behind him......
The power of hatred is so great, and the resentment is so great that the old lizardfolk have vanished from it.
Even though only the old lizard was left to breathe, he still missed the snow hatred.
Mark felt a pang of inexplicable sadness and felt sick in his heart.
I just thought that I could go home, and I didn't have to worry about the grievances and grievances of this world, and it was a lot easier.
After all, I don't belong to this world, and I don't have to bother to change the status quo.
If you can go home, you can forget about Kansas, forget what happened to you in this haunted place, and spend the rest of your life with your family.
When he walked out of the prison, everyone saw that Mark was stunned, and they had questions but were difficult to ask.
Only Clark couldn't hold his words and asked directly: "Big brother, you have been gone for so long, everyone is worried about death?" I seem to have heard someone wailing and crying, did you use the criminal law on anyone? ”
There was a wry smile in his heart, and it was not convenient to explain the cause of the incident at this moment, so he could only say: "Okay, let's go back first." Wait until there is something important to explain. ”
