[The moment you capture his eyes and calm down after panic, then he immediately becomes flustered again, but this expression has a deliberate disguise, and his gaze dodges and never dares to look into your eyes]

Psychology has enough intelligence for Hodge to make a judgment.

He stepped forward, and Orion subconsciously took a few steps back, but Hodge walked faster, approached quickly, beckoned at him to relax, and said with a natural expression: "Listen, you didn't see or hear everything that happened here, and you stayed outside the swamp until someone else found you, understand?"

"Yes! I've never been here at all. Orion nodded like garlic.

"Very well, then you can leave. ”

Orion exhaled sharply, and was about to leave the moment when Hodge, who was standing behind him, tensed up, jumped up from the ground, and showed the dinner knife hidden behind his back, about to stab Orion in the throat.

But as if Orion had expected it, Hodge's knife to him missed, and his unbalanced body fell in front of Orion.

Damn, this guy was prepared, Orion's background made him more vigilant than McCarthy and his party, and Hodge missed.

Orion kicked the knife off Hodge's hand, grabbed Hodge's throat with his strong right hand, and laughed hideously: "Give you, the villain who killed the magician, to the other adults, and you will definitely get a lot of bounty." ”

Hodge kicked his feet hard, but was soon choked by Orion's other hand.

As Orion's right hand deepened, he felt his breathing become more and more difficult, and the lack of oxygen caused his consciousness to blur.

In desperation, he instinctively tilted his head forward, opened his mouth and bit Orion's wrist in one fell swoop.

"Hell!" Orion's right hand instinctively let go of the sharp pain that caught him off guard, but his left hand was still desperate to grab Hodge, and Hodge, whose upper body was free, lay on the ground, his hand scrambling for the knife.

"Stinky boy, I want you to look good!" the relieved Orion shook his right hand, pulled his left hand back, and leaned down to grab Hodge's head.

However, Hodge jerked his head, his flickering knife in his hand, and stabbed him forward, striking Orion in the throat.

"Uh-" Orion hurriedly clutched his throat, his voice hoarse, a noble magician behaving no different from Orion in the mountains when it came to having his throat cut.

Orion's blood sprayed all over Hodge's face, and his clothes were covered in blood, and Orion, who had lost his support, fell straight to Hodge, and he had to roll over to the side so that he was not overwhelmed by Orion's corpse.

Frightened, he barely stood up, and just now his plan was all in vain.

In the final analysis, it is because I am too weak to deal with emergencies.

It was a surprise to be able to kill McCarthy, and the other three were only swordsmen, and horror would make their movements sluggish, and they could successfully cope with it with two bottles of black rot, but when it came to Orion who hunted wild beasts all year round, he looked weak, if it weren't for the fact that Orion who didn't know the situation didn't dare to act rashly, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

He began to collect the belongings of several corpses, and McCarthy had no money with him, only the jewels set in the fur coat and short staff, but he found a lot of gold and silver coins on Lamb and Bessie, who seemed to have made a lot of money during their time as directors of the castle.

With enough belongings to live a normal life after he escaped, he ripped off McCarthy's cloak and packed his belongings on his back.

Just as he got up, he suddenly heard the sound of breathing, and suddenly turned his head to see that it was the voice of the red-haired witch leaning against the tree.

"I forgot about you. ”

He stepped forward and squatted down to observe the witch's situation, except for a few travelogues and world history, most of the books in the castle belonged to the three major disciplines of alchemy, herbs, and astrology, among which the books on herbology were the most read by Hodge, even if he was still an amateur, he also had a certain ability to judge.

At this time, he looked at the gray-black blood vessels that spread from the neck wound to her face and body, and her already blue lips, and he could already tell that the toxin had completely invaded her body, and it should have eroded into her heart at this time, and even the best priest came here to save her life.

"You're hopeless, McCarthy's toxin is so strong that it's eaten away at your whole body. ”

Hodge didn't hide it and directly explained the situation of the witch.

The witch gasped weakly, exhausted enough to open half of her eyes, her rhinestone-like royal blue pupils flickering, she should have understood what Hodge meant.

"It should be a while before you really die, I don't know if the magician has a spell to torture the dying, but I can't take this risk, not to mention that you are still alive and miserable, so don't blame me. ”

Hodge carried a knife and stabbed the witch in the heart with precision.

The witch's eyelids slowly drooped, and the faint sound of breathing was gone.

He took out the knife, wiped the bloodstained blade on the witch's body, and before leaving, he looked at the dead witch, it was really a waste for such a beauty to die, and I don't know if those magicians are sick in the brain, so I don't know if I have to enjoy it first.

No matter how graceful the curve is, it has become a cold corpse at this time, he is not perverted to the point of being a corpse lover, not to mention that his escape time is running out, he will disappear into the forest with the package on his back, and flee to the chosen route.

After he had gone, long after the sun had reached the end of the mountains, it had buried itself halfway, and shone on the forest with its only light.

Five men and one woman, six bodies remained in place, silent and silent.

Suddenly, the witch's corpse underwent an incredible change, and the skin stiffened by death gradually became transparent, and dense red lines shuttled under the transparent skin.

After a while, the witch's entire body glowed red, hot and dazzling, and she suddenly burst into flames, and before the flames could reach the trunk of the tree, she shrank violently into a ball.

The figure in the flames gradually distorted, changed, shrunk, and when the flames were extinguished, the corpse did not turn into charcoal, but into a pile of ashes like paper was burned.

The ashes spun again, reassembled in the air like a puzzle, the head, body, hands, and feet gradually took shape, the gray-black model began to fix, and after standing still for a moment, her eyes suddenly opened, and the royal blue pupils flowed with the afterglow of the sun, she shook her body, the ashes dispersed, and her delicate and white skin appeared, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in the snow.

"Whew~" As she exhaled, the whole person came to life.

She beckoned, and a flock of crows perched on the branches flew towards her, twisting around her beautiful body, turning into black robes.

She looked at the blood stains left by herself on the tree, remembered the boy who stabbed the knife into her heart without hesitation, and suddenly smiled: "What a cruel child, but it did me a great favor." ”

"And you......" she sneered, looking at McCarthy, "to be killed by a little boy, and you half-mage is also in vain." ”

She waved her hand, and with her movements, the swamp began to burn, and the majestic pillars of fire rose into the sky, turning everything in the field into charcoal, and she walked into the blazing flames and disappeared.
