It was a nearly enclosed room, with doors but no windows, the walls were made of rough logs, and the little light in the room came from two oil lamps.

Ji Yijun sat on a wooden chair, across the table, looking at the middle-aged man with a withered expression opposite. This was the last of several ancient god believers that Ji Yijun interrogated. The first few guys were just some spontaneous evangelists like Kara. And this man is very different.

Men have dark brown skin, and gray hair. He was not tall, but he was very strong, his body was thick like a wall, and his arms were as thick as the calves of ordinary people. Ji Yijun has read the information, he is a blacksmith, and his life of striking iron all year round has allowed him to accumulate strength.

But now his situation is not good. He was wounded, his right arm, chest and waist were wrapped in gauze, and there were quite a few dried blood stains on it.

From time to time, the man lowered his head and coughed, and he couldn't stop coughing, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

Ji Yijun folded his hands in front of his chest, his back against the back of the chair, and quietly observed him, watching the spit and blood spray on the table.

The man, who looked like he was going to fall at any moment, was a ferocious murderer who had slashed two nature temple worshippers in Camp One a few days earlier. The two men preached the teachings of the Temple of Nature in the camp and tried to recruit believers in the camp, but somehow provoked the killing god. Then one night, they were attacked by this man blocking an alley.

It is said that the fighting was so fierce that both sides used their fighting spirit to even collapse half of a nearby warehouse. As a result, two people were killed and one was seriously injured.

Afterwards, whether it was Luo Ling's side or Camp No. 1, they all jumped for a while. Among the recruited slaves, there were actually three vindictive masters, each with a sectarian background, which really made the management of the camp dizzy for a long time. In the past few days, the mercenaries and guards have been re-checking the details of the residents of the camp.

However, there is little progress in the investigation of this man at the moment. He had been so weak that he couldn't speak for the past few days, and he couldn't get out of bed until yesterday, so Ji Yijun became the first person who had the opportunity to interrogate him.

"Rod, an identity blacksmith, was reduced to a slave because of his debts. It seems that this identity is very problematic, where can the blacksmith kill two spies of the natural temple alone? and can smash a thick wall with a hammer? Rode, is that your real name?"

The man stopped coughing and glanced at Ji Yijun, his eyes full of indifference.

"Real name. His voice was hoarse, not just because he was born or because of the injury, "I used this name when I was a child, but then I changed it, and then later, hum, I think it was better to take the name of my parents." ”

"Someone heard you shouting 'God of War is invincible!' in battle, so it should be right to count you a believer in the God of War, right?"

Rod smiled, with a self-deprecation in his smile, but also a little sadness, he slowly shook his head and said: "If you asked this question a few years ago, I would answer 'yes', but now, I don't know." However, I don't think anyone who doubts their beliefs can be considered believers. Ahem, as for 'God of War Invincible', that ...... It's just a habit. ”

Seeing that Rod said so many words, Ji Yijun was a little excited, he thought that this kind of warrior should be a cold and silent person like a stone. Unexpectedly, this Rhodes was not very resistant to the question, he sat up straight, propped his elbows on the table, put on a serious listening look, and then asked: "Did you have the surname Wu earlier, or did you have the surname Zhan?"

Rod stared at Ji Yijun and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to know a lot about the War God Temple. Ahem, my surname used to be 'Wu'. As for the name, it doesn't make sense to mention it now. ”

"It seems that you were originally a samurai of the Temple of War?"

"Centurion, Holy Warrior, hey, 'Holy' Warrior, you wouldn't be wrong if you say Samurai. However, it's been a long time since I've fought and killed for the Temple of War. ”

Ji Yijun flipped through the pages on those tables and said, "This is my strange place, you have been a blacksmith for a long time, and you don't seem to be a madman who wants to kill people if you don't agree with each other." Your neighbors even say that you are a kind-hearted and helpful person. Then why did you attack those two people from the Nature Temple?"

Rod took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, his gaze stayed on the top of Ji Yijun's head, as if he was recalling something. He looked at the wooden roof for a few moments before he let out two low laughs and said, "Revenge." ”

This answer was not what Ji Yijun expected, he had already seen the flash in his eyes, there must have been some sad memories that made this thick man out of control. Rod stared at the ceiling for a long time, until a cough forced him to bend down again.

Ji Yijun took out a handkerchief and put it in front of him. The other party picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth indifferently, leaving a blush.

He glanced at the red, put the handkerchief on the table with some annoyance, and said slowly: "These two people are not ordinary nature believers, but members of the Shadow Regiment of the Nature Temple. Call them spies or assassins, but they're not the same kind of people as the missionary idiots. ”

As soon as Ji Yijun heard this word, he thought of the CIA, the KGB, and various spy wars. I have to say that although these sneaky people are always associated with intrigues, most of the boys are not only not bored with these things, but are very interested. He got up and poured Rhodes a glass of water and asked, "Are these Shadow Men the ones who have a vendetta against you? Are these people agents?" uh...... I mean, it's all about spying, gathering intelligence, or killing people or something?"

"The Shadows settle anything for the Elders that doesn't work out on the surface—more than us followers of the Old Gods. The Temple of Nature pardoned us shortly after the end of the Divine War, and never publicly said that it would be wiped out. But we have been the target of their covert attacks for thousands of years. They don't care about ordinary people who spontaneously believe in the Old Gods because of hearsay, but they always wipe out the true temple lineage. One night many years ago, they raided the hidden village where I came from, and my parents, my wife, my two sons, and nearly a hundred or so villagers died. His eyes were downcast, his body stiff, as if something heavy had pressed on his shoulder, and he took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm, and repeated, "It's all dead." ”

Rod held the cup, took a sip of water, and held the cup in both hands for a long time. Ji Yijun could clearly see that the water surface in the cup kept shaking out layers of ripples. "I was serving in a temple at the time, and when I heard the news, I was ready to take revenge. But the high priest and the commander of the temple have been holding me back, fearing that my actions will reveal the location of the temple and attract more enemies. Cowards! I secretly left several times, but they stopped me, and finally these fellows came up with the so-called divine will to forbid me to leave the temple! The god of war is above! How can the god of war back down because of the strength of the enemy! He taught us: 'In the face of real battle, cheap peace is worthless.' From that moment on, I knew that I was afraid that the god of war had really fallen long ago. He will no longer protect us, so that the oracle will become a trick for the despicable to manipulate others. Can you imagine? You finally find out one day that the being you have regarded as the greatest and highest in heaven and earth since you were a child is long dead. ”

Ji Yijun scratched his head and said: "When I knew that I wasn't picked up from the trash by my parents, I was also shocked. ”

And Rod obviously didn't pay attention to what Ji Yijun was saying, his hand kept slapping the table, as if he was hitting those guys in the temple: "For thousands of years, we have failed too many times in front of the Temple of Nature, and we have turned the last believers of the God of War into cowards. Yes. We're just a bunch of cowards gathered in the corner. As he said this, he waved his injured arm and pinched his fist out of the tendons, at the cost of another unstoppable cough.

"I guess you didn't give up later?" asked Ji Yijun.

"Yes. I later found an opportunity and escaped at night. Then I left the Temple of War and began to hunt down the Shadowmen. These people are well hidden. But I have my own way of pulling them out of the crowd. I was stalking those two guys this time, and they've been my prey all along. They're not slaves, though, and neither am I. It's just that you're taking in too many people. It is just a chance for many people with different purposes to take advantage of it. Ahem, the defense of this team from Suero to Montenegro is like a sieve, who would notice how many more people are in the four thousand slaves?"

"You mean, it's not just the people from the Temple of Nature and the Temple of War who have mixed in?" Ji Yijun became serious.

"Ahem, it's not my concern, I'm just a person who hunts down and kills enemies. But just counting what I saw in passing, I found that many people were wrong. ”

"Why are you telling me this?" asked Ji Yijun as he slowly stood up, propped his hands on the table.

Rhodes had already walked out of his memory, his tone and expression calming down a lot. He pondered for a moment, then pointed to the bandages on his body and said, "There is no conflict between us, although you have locked me up for a few days, but you have also healed my injuries, if I am in the wilderness, I may not be able to survive." Since no one owes anyone before, how about we make a deal? You have revealed the murder, and then you will give me shelter, and I will help you catch those little rats. “

"In our world, murder is a crime! No matter what the reason is used, killing people will not be easily revealed. Ji Yijun said.

Rhodes laughed, he gasped for air as he laughed, and he said, "I don't know where you weirdos come from, but isn't the law just a fart of the lord in this land? There is no non-negotiable law in the world, only people who are not qualified to manipulate the law. ”

Hearing the three words that are not qualified, Ji Yijun was a little annoyed, he didn't know why he hated what the other party was saying now, but when he looked into Rod's eyes, he only saw three words "don't care" from the other party's eyes.
