Chapter 38: Human Nature
Miscellaneous...... What? Am I the real brave man? Why?
When pointed at by His Royal Highness, the "strongest, most vicious, and most terrifying demon king in the world", Wood was almost completely blinded.
He didn't think about why this topic, which was originally completely unrelated to him, suddenly turned to him, and it seemed that he became the "key person" in it.
Wrong...... Wrong...... Wrong!
Faced with this "life-or-death situation", Wood's brain thought quickly, but he was not stupid after all, and it didn't take long to come up with the right answer.
Trom Chief! It's him!
In an instant, a terrible thought filled Wood's brain like lightning, and he suddenly looked up at the old man who was crying not far away, although there were tears in those eyes, but in Wood's opinion, the word "die" was reflected in the tears!
Do you want to push me out and send me to death because you want to protect Troy?
When his mind was running quickly, and the whole thing was clearly displayed in Wood's heart, he only felt a chill slowly spreading from his back until the tips of his fingers felt extremely cold.
"Tell Your Highness that you are the brave man of the Corona Clan?"
However, just as Wood was chilling, the figure that exuded the aura of "death" had appeared in front of him, and the words that came out of the man's mouth were like sharp knives into his heart.
"No...... No, I'm not! I'm ......" Out of instinct for survival, Wood almost reflexively wanted to open his mouth to defend himself.
"No, he's not a brave man! The young man next to him is! Your Highness, you must not be mistaken!"
But before Wood could finish speaking, Trom shouted loudly in that mournful tone, as if he had no intention of giving Wood a chance to speak.
Although Trom seemed to be protecting Wood in his words, Wood knew very well that this "protection" was only pushing him into the fire pit until it was no longer possible.
Patriarch...... No!
In an instant, the coldness in Wood's body immediately dissipated, replaced by a strong sense of anger and despair.
He hated and hated the patriarch of the "Corona Clan" for mercilessly pushing himself out to die in place of Troy, and he also felt great despair at the cold eyes of Renard, Belmont and others next to him.
Although logically, Wood knows very well that the "brave" must be a very important existence, and compared to a nobody like him, the life of the "brave" must be a hundred or a thousand times more important.
But so what? Does this mean that Wood should die in such an unexplained way? Although it seems to make sense, it is difficult for any person to accept this matter calmly......
Wood ...... Wood!
Just as Wood was in a very uncomfortable state, a voice suddenly appeared in his head, and it was Trom's voice.
This kind of "sound transmission spell", Wood had heard before, seemed to be able to transmit his words directly into the minds of others, and Trome, as a master of spells, was naturally very proficient in this kind of spells.
What else do you want to say? Wood "heard" the cry and involuntarily raised his eyebrows, indicating that he had heard.
Shut your mouth now, don't say anything, if you die here, then you are the hero of the whole clan, your mother and brother will be treated best, and if you talk nonsense, not only will you be executed as a traitor, but your mother and brother will be buried together.
Be a dead hero or a traitor who will die with your family, think about it yourself!
Not far away, although Trom was still begging His Highness the Demon King not to attack Wood with tears in his eyes, the voice behind him was colder than a blade, like a cold-blooded animal without emotion.
At this point, Wood almost wanted to laugh, but he took a deep breath and lowered his head, ignoring the disgusting gazes around him.
If I accept it, I will be killed by the Demon King, and maybe tortured to the point that I am not human, and then I will be given the title of a hero.
If I don't accept it, then even if I leave here alive, I will be hunted down by the whole clan, and my mother and younger brother will also be affected.
That's a good multiple-choice question...... Wood gritted his teeth tightly, he never thought that he would one day face such a desperate choice, it was a dead word left and right anyway.
"Your Highness, listen to me, he really isn't ......"
"Shut up! His Highness is asking him now, not you, so don't be noisy here. ”
At this time, Rion saw that Trom still wanted to continue pestering, and seemed to feel a little bored and waved his hand, stopping his unpleasant speech.
Although he had known for a long time that this old patriarch would do everything to save his grandson, even Ryon felt a little disgusted when he really saw this guy working so hard to send Wood to death.
"Tell Your Highness that you are the brave man representing this clan?"
After casually tossing Troy aside, Rion stood in front of Wood, looked down at the young man with a look of despair, and asked in a tone that was so firm that it could not be denied.
Hehe, what kind of clan, is the group of people who want to push me to death at a critical moment also called clansmen?
After hearing this, Wood sneered, he finally raised his head, and glanced left and right at Trome, Renard, Belmont and Troy, looking at the cold gazes of these people, Wood's eyes finally appeared with determination.
"You say yes, I'm not going to say anything. ”
With a final sigh, Wood clasped his hands to his chest and closed his eyes, as if everything outside was no longer important to him.
Yes, what else is important in this world for a "dying man"?
"Don't you say yes? Then you probably won't have a chance to say it. After seeing Wood's appearance, Lion stretched out his palm, as if creating a black hole in the air, and Wood's body was gradually "sucked" in!
If there is a next life, please bless me not to be born into this kind of big family again, this group of people is disgusting to me.
As if sensing the imminent arrival of death, Wood finally couldn't help but gesture a middle finger to the "joyful" Trom at the last moment of loss of consciousness, and thought of it with great firmness in his heart....... 2k reading web
