Grant's trembling lips moved.

He was too badly injured, and in this case, he didn't know if he could say it or not—in fact, Gu Bei just felt that he needed to say something, so he asked it, and he didn't really intend for Grant to answer.

An ice needle appeared in his hand, and he was ready to give Grant a clean death.

But at this moment, Grant's bloody body trembled violently again. His eyes widened, like a terminally ill patient, staring at Gu Bei, his eyes overflowing with longing and struggle for life. He opened his mouth and said bitterly, "Don't ...... Don't kill me. ”

When Gu Bei heard this, he shrugged his shoulders: "If your position is like this, you can accept your fate." ”

"Do you really think...... Kill me, and it will all be over?" Grant suddenly calmed down and said in a staccato voice, "You...... You don't know how the church got to where it is today, you don't know the secrets...... You may be able to wipe us out for a while, but one day...... We will be back. ”

"So what? If something new comes out, we'll kill it again. Gu Bei narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and replied.

"No...... You don't understand, the real church is still hidden on this continent, secretly observing everything......" Grant did not give up, "you ...... Do you think that when we die, the good days of the mages will come? I tell you, when magic reaches the point where it is forbidden, they will appear......"

When Gu Bei heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You are in the Fingermaster Inheritance Society, right?"

Grant wanted to say something, but he was stunned.

"I'm sorry, I've already met them. Seeing this, Gu Bei spread his hands and continued, "I know that they come from the ancient church, and I also know that they have been secretly recording everything, but ...... Save it, they won't run out to revive the church. In fact, the old lady of the Rieser family is also a member of the Mage Inheritance Society, and she will not help you take revenge. ”

Grant's face was filled with disbelief again.

"Yes...... Grandma?"

"Yes, she's a mage, and she's doing well. Gu Bei nodded, "It's embarrassing, but don't worry, she has temporarily lost all her memories, so she doesn't feel anything about the crimes you committed." And by the time she regains her memory, your corpse will be cold, and you won't have to face her again. ”

“...... The crime I committed?"

Gu Bei sighed and said, "You probably don't want to mention this matter, it's okay, I'll end your suffering right away." ”

As he spoke, he controlled the ice and aimed it at Grant's heart.

"What right do you have to accuse me?" ...... you," Grant suddenly became agitated at this moment, and cried out in pain, "It's you who broke through! What can I do?" Claude ...... He was to blame! He never saw me as his son. He just...... A coward. ”

If Benjamin heard this, he might be so angry that he punched him, but Gu Bei heard it...... Eventually, he shook his head.

"To say such a thing, I still overestimate your conscience. ”

"You have no right to accuse me. Grant shook his head, his eyes full of resentment, "You are his son, no matter how incompetent you were in the past, no matter how big the disaster is...... And what about me, no matter how good I did, no matter how talented I was, no matter how obedient and well-behaved I was, he never looked at me squarely...... I'm just a tool for him to compete for favor in front of the church. ”

"Come on. Gu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, "Your treatment when you were a child wasn't good enough, don't be hypocritical here." ”

Grant was still shaking his head: "Why do you say? Because I earned all those benefits! Before I was born, the Reeser family was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to sell their fiefdoms and move out of the royal capital...... How do you think he got to the position of duke? How do you think his character got mixed up in the aristocratic circles? I brought everything to the family! But no matter what time it is, it's always your name that comes out of his mouth, what did Benjamin do yesterday, how does Benjamin ...... today?"

At this point, his nose wrinkled, and tears mixed with blood remained: "He treats you as a son, and he treats me ...... Treat it as a monster. ”

Gu Bei frowned.

“...... Isn't it because I get into trouble and need attention?"

"And what about me?" Grant closed his eyes, "no matter how good I do, I can't get the slightest attention from him, and if I make a small mistake, he will squint at me with that gaze." Is this fair? Good people should always be good, and there should be no flaws, and everyone takes this for granted. And it doesn't matter if you're a bad person, as long as you suddenly do a little thing, you can be impressive. ”

When Gu Bei heard this, he shook his head and said, "That's because he has greater expectations for you." ”

"His expectation of me is to obediently please the priests and bishops of the church!" Grant became hysterical again, "because...... He knew that, deep down, he could feel that I was different from ordinary people. I could never live up to his expectations of a son, so he used me as a tool, a tool that he would be humiliated with but had to rely on!"

The atmosphere became a little frozen for a while.

"So...... That's why you killed your own father?"

"Because I'm tired. Hearing this, Grant lowered his head, and the expression on his face was extremely stubborn, "He doesn't regard me as a son, why should I regard him as a father? I'm fed up with being a good man who is careful to be a good man, sacrificing so many things for the sake of the Rieser family, spending days in the church school like years, enduring the moody bishops, enduring the molestation of the teachers, and even trying to please them as much as possible." And when I come back, I want to continue to be that flawless genius nobleman, including you, and I want to clean up whatever trouble you have caused outside, but in the end I can't even get a word of thanks...... I'm tired, I'm really tired. ”

“......”

Gu Bei didn't speak.

In all fairness, he's not Benjamin, so there's no need to say that to Grant here. Enemies are enemies, even if there was a little brotherhood between the two sides, those friendships belonged to the two Rieser brothers, and his surname was Gu.

It's just that...... He lives not only in Benjamin's body, but also in his life, and some things are difficult to explain.

The ice needle was still half a meter away from Grant's heart, and it was not launched for a long time, and Grant looked even weaker due to blood loss. Gu Bei's brows furrowed, he couldn't imagine how entangled the scene would have been if Benjamin hadn't died, but had come here according to Cain and Abel's script, and had come to the point of confronting each other with Grant.

"You know what? I hate this so-called title of genius. In silence, Grant took a deep breath and spoke again.

Gu Bei still didn't speak.

So, Grant continued: "Since I was a child, everyone around me has seen me as an anomaly, and they have not looked down on me, but they have also isolated me from that world. I tried my best to fit in, I learned to talk and do stupid things with other noble children, but it didn't work, no matter how hard I tried, in the eyes of others, I would always be a genius with eyes above the top. ”

"And I'm ......," he closed his eyes and choked up, "I just want to be like a normal person." ”

"Ordinary people's lives may not be as good as you think. Gu Bei let out a cold snort and said, "At least, in this long war, there have been an unknown number of ordinary people who have died. ”

"So...... We can put an end to this. Hearing this, Grant opened his eyes and looked straight over, "After today, the church will cease to exist, and I will no longer oppose the mage." If you still don't feel at ease, you can destroy my spiritual power, or destroy the runes engraved in my consciousness, so that I will never be able to perform any magic again. In a word...... I don't want to be pope anymore, please...... Let me live. ”

"Destroy psychic power, you're going to be a fool. ”

"That's better than my old life. ”

After speaking, Grant closed his eyes, as if waiting for Gu Bei to make a decision. The little bit of holy light left beside him had dissipated, and the whole person was completely empty, and his bloodstained face looked extremely pale.

Gu Bei looked at the face that was quite similar to himself, and his expression changed after all.

There was a long sigh of silence.

The ice needle flashed through Grant's heart. In the next second, Grant opened his eyes with a look of disbelief and looked at Gu Bei, his eyes were full of unwillingness instead of shock.

"Let's be an ordinary person in the next life...... If there really is an afterlife. ”

Gu Bei opened his mouth, and as he said this, he dispersed the Ice Hell Technique.

The chain phantom turned into a sky of blue dots of light, escaping like fireflies, and the buoyancy of magic vanished. He watched as Grant fell, as his left fist unhooked, and a newly-formed magic rune was hidden in the palm of his blood-stained hand.

Having lost its owner, the runes began to dissipate the moment it was formed, and it seemed to be a little reluctant, like a little starlight, slowly draining from the cracks in Grant's palm.

The body fell straight from a height of 100 meters.

At that moment, the square below was in an uproar.

"Knot, it's over?"

The local villagers closed their eyes, and even some of the soldiers of the two armies looked away. All the believers knelt on the ground in unison, their heads buried very low, and there was a faint cry. They came from all over the country to witness the funeral of the church, but no one dared to open their eyes to the real process.

Subsequently......

Strike!

There was a muffled thud, and some sticky solid liquid splattered everywhere.

The square fell silent.

And in the sky, Gu Bei's gaze did not follow Grant all the time - the moment the corpse landed, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance. The sun pierced through the clouds and shone sparsely on the mountain road. A noisy flock of birds rose from the woods, flew against the light, and hurriedly disappeared from sight.

The land of the kingdom is vast, as calm as a dying old man, as calm as a newborn baby.
