The boy woke up from the cold night. He heard the sound of running water, which seemed to be not far away. He could also hear the sound of the crowd, but it was much farther away than the running water, and it was so unreal. The scent of grass mixed with the smell of earth diffused through his nostrils, and combined with the touch beneath him, the boy assumed that he was lying in a meadow. He didn't understand how he got here, and his memory was only about finding the Grand Duke of the Hammer.

"Are you going to lie down here at sunrise, or are you going to open your eyes now. A cold voice came from above, and the seriousness in his tone made the boy unconsciously think of his bad-tempered father. But the man had died in the collapsed ruins of the Molten Iron City, along with his favorite pipe.

Memories of the past flashed away, but anyway, he decided to open his eyes first and see what was going on. Then the darkness faded, and the night sky, and a few small stalks of grass stood in his sight. This was the scenery he was used to, but the boy always felt that there was something different about what he saw, everything seemed too clear.

"If I tell you to open your eyes, will you just open your eyes? Get me up from the ground, boy. The voice sounded again, accompanied by the sound of impatient stomping.

The boy quickly got up, and to be precise, he bounced off the ground at once. The lightness of his body and the strength of his limbs surprised the boy, and he could not remember when he was so vigorous, after all, ordinary children do not have enough to eat. But before he could think about the changes in his body, the person in front of him shocked the boy's expression, he knew this person. With a naked upper body and dark red tattoos, he was the one who saved himself and another girl in the underground passage and forced himself to fight the nezumi!

Who are you?" he opened his mouth to utter the words, but the familiar language became a muffled voice like "Click...". The boy instinctively touched his mouth, but unexpectedly touched the long snout. More chaotic pronunciations burst out of his throat, and unprecedented panic hung over the boy.

The man in sight shook his head at this, as if he was a little disappointed by the boy's reaction. Still, he walked over, reached out and pulled the panicked child to his side, and turned to walk to the brook not far away. Then, with a force on his right arm, Callus forced the child's face almost to the surface of the water.

"Boom!" the brisk running water and the great force behind his neck made the boy forget his panic for a moment, and he was startled by the man's sudden move. He didn't understand why the man was doing this, did he want to make himself drink water, or... Thoughts interrupted when the gaze cleared the reflection in the stream. "Quack, click, rat... Yikes!"

"Gollum—" The Demon Spawn pressed his head into the water before the little guy in his hand could make a louder noise, and as for his scurrying limbs, although the child was much stronger than before, it was still difficult to hurt Krus. Perhaps it would be more merciful to drown him here. As the Demon Spawn looked at the mouse-man struggling in his hands, it occurred to him that not everyone could accept that he had become a terrible, hateful monster, especially since he had lost a loved one to this monster in the first place.

"Puff!ahem!" the boy's head was lifted, and he gulped out the stream of water in his mouth. "Listen, boy. Be quiet, I say listen, or I'll press your head down again. Clarus said grimly, their location wasn't too far from the crowd in the Molten Iron City, and he didn't want the survivors to see a live nezumi.

The coughing stopped, and the nezumi in the demon's hand no longer struggled, but his tail still shook slightly, indicating that his spirit was not as calm as it seemed. Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Krus's mouth, "Clever boy. With that, he pulled the boy away from the stream and put him back on the grass.

"I'll be straight to the point, I'm your lord, a friend of the Grand Duke of Hammer. And as you can see, I'm not a decent person, a killer. As for you, I was in the tunnels trying to save you, but you have some talent that has intrigued me, so I forced you to fight a nezumi. Don't look at me like that, I helped you cut off one of its feet first. As a result, you are indeed a good seedling, as I expected. But because you didn't fight well enough, you were bitten by the nezumi, the plague infected you, and a new nezumi was born. It seems like I'm responsible, but you see, if it weren't for me, you'd have died in the ground. ”

Clarus paused, giving the boy time to digest the information. After he felt that was enough, the Demon Spawn continued.

"That's the way it is now. Fortunately, I found someone to keep you from becoming a brainless monster, and you can still think normally, if that wizard didn't lie to me. You can't speak because your throat has undergone some changes, and you can get used to it for a while before you can speak again. But it doesn't matter if I want to say that, who would want to listen to a nezumi?"

"There are three paths in front of you. First, I'll kill you and free you from the monster's body. I'll try to get Andrei to bury you next to your parents. After he finished speaking, he pulled a dagger from his belt and threw it in front of the nezumi, "Second, you take this dagger and get out of here." From now on, whether you want to be a real beast or live alone has nothing to do with me. You are free to live and die freely. The boy didn't move the dagger, he was waiting for Krus to finish.

"The third, oh, maybe the worst one. You pick up this dagger and be my disciple. I will train you to be the deadliest killer and make you a nightmare for all those on the hunt list. Don't worry, I'm not training you for anything, just because I'm a little curious, and those killing techniques that I've summarized can be very effective in teaching others. The Demon Spawn grinned, his smile reminiscent of a carnivorous beast.

"And whichever path you choose, I'll give you three days first. I'll be waiting for you here in three days. Of course, if you choose the second one, then you don't have to come back. With that, the killer turned and left. Krus didn't care if the boy would pick up the dagger and stab him, because in front of him was the top master assassin.

When the Demon Descendant returned to the camp, the Cursed Crow, who had been waiting for him, asked, "It's all settled?"

"I gave him three days to think. If you can't wait, you can go first, and I'll catch up. ”

"Well, you know how to find us. The wizard nodded, and turned to leave, but his steps suddenly stopped again, "By the way, I heard from those elves, a team of blue lions is coming this way, and it will be there in a few days." You'd better be careful. ”

Krus sneered, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
