Chapter 18: The Quarrel

Who will be the first sacrifice of Artcharius?

But a man depends on his clothes, and a horse by a saddle.

Just as a warrior needs to carry a sword, an assassin should have a sharp weapon.

In order to perfect Alcharius to the greatest extent, Alexei, who has always been in and out, has changed his temperament and is ready to start his own private collection. He remembered that in the utility room was a night cloak that had been seized from the corpse of some foolish bounty hunter, just right for Artcharius today.

Alexei ordered Alcharius to follow, and he descended slowly to the second floor of the basement. Standing on the first step of the staircase leading down, he could hear from a distance the fierce argument that was erupting between Joannis and Gog behind him.

"You damned traitor is also pointing fingers at me? Don't you have a point in your own heart if you can squeeze a few drops of oil out of that rotten flesh? ”

A sneer.

"Haha, riding on top of you? I'm sorry, I don't really have the idea of getting my ass dirty. ”

"As for Joannis, traitor, aren't you too, and which of us is nobler than the other?"

Gog's mocking words echoed low down the narrow aisle across the second floor, and Alexei heard this, and stopped a little, ready to hear him say something he wanted to hear.

"I'm forced to do it, you understand? How can you, a short-sighted coward, understand my forbearance? Murderers, executioners, killing former colleagues, how good does it feel to see their blood splashed on their faces? Garbage should look like garbage, why are you arguing with me?"

As soon as the words fell.

Gog's argument was already in line with his fist: "Feel? you tell me how you feel? You hypocrites who go to night with demons ***, bastards who sell their friends for glory." I'm different from you, you're friends with them, right? I've seen you play cards with them, smoke cigarettes, play with women. Tell me, if I don't kill them, you're going to rebel against the mage?don't make me laugh, it's you who is hypocritical, and you're the real traitor. I'm not a fool, I'm sure you're not a fool, it's a game of life and death, I killed someone today, and I still feel disgusting, I'll repent, but you won't. ”

Bang, someone hit the wall.

It's intense.

They pinned each other against the wall and fought, but when it came to fighting, Joannis was the better one. He made full use of his physical strengths, and during the fight, all the snorts that Alexei could hear came from Gog Skalen, maybe Joannis couldn't hold back, but now, Joannis has a point.

Alexey squinted slightly with pleasure, his index finger tapping his thumb lightly, and every time one of them fell to the ground, his pointed finger hooked.

Suddenly, Ben's fingers, which were still slightly curved, straightened up instantly.

"Let go, mad dog!"

What happened?

Although he didn't see the picture, Joannis, who was supposed to have a huge advantage, suddenly let out a scream, and this instantaneous, abruptly reversed plot suddenly made Alexey's exuberant curiosity stir, he didn't speak, let alone think about stopping it.

The onlooker leaned forward slightly, almost pressing his ears against the wall.

The result is another mime in which the two of them roll dullly in the narrow passage.

"You mad dog. ”

It lasted about a minute and a half, and after a new struggle, Joannis once again dominated the two of them, his words sounding very angry, but he was forcibly suppressing his anger, and even his undulating tone revealed a suffocated taste: "Why don't you call it a mad dog, what do you call it a dogtail?Ah, killing two people makes it like this, you actually bite me, when did you become so sharp-tongued? Isn't killing a great thing?" Kill two more people, I'm afraid you're not going to learn how to eat, sober up, dogtail grass, I want you to see the reality clearly, I'm much better than you. ”

"When I become a mage, wouldn't it be good for me to take you as my apprentice? ”

Pant.

"Loosen your mouth, you mad dog, die, die!"

Hearing another scream of pain, accompanied by the muffled sound of flesh hitting the stone bricks, Joannis's deliberately suppressed roar was accompanied by a bit of hysterical collapse: "I'm going to kill you!"

The two grabbed each other's necks, and Gog's roar was still clearly audible in the midst of his poor breathing.

"Then you will kill me, do you dare? in, this, in, kill, me, do you dare? You say I am a coward, I think you are a coward. ”

"Kill me, then kill the mage. It's either life or death. ”

"Do you dare?

"Answer me!"

They let go of their hands in tacit agreement, rolled to the side, and then, there was a long silence.

The two separated.

Across the stairs, Alexei heard only Gog's gasp in the narrow passage, and Joannis gave up. This period lasted a total of forty-five seconds, and the onlookers silently counted in the bottom of their minds.

People change.

Humans are animals that need competition.

The stronger the competition, the faster it becomes.

Alexei was pleased with the way he cast a catfish in the sardine pond.

His keen ears caught Joannis' bluff after the silence, and although he was physically victorious over his opponent, he seemed to be gradually falling behind in words and momentum: "Ha? I'll be afraid of you? I'll be afraid of you! Impossible, I'm not stupid to kill you, what good can I get by killing you? I'm going to learn magic, and then kill the mage to get revenge, why should I bury my future for a bed bug like you." ”

"It's their honor that they died for me, and besides, it's not me who really did it. Gog, you are also my enemy, let's see. ”

"Enemy, you have defined me well. ”

Gog held on to the wall, straightened up in pain, and reached out to wipe the moisture under his nostrils.

He shook his hand, splashed a few blood stains on the wall, and said: "Yes, your fist is very heavy, strong, and very cool, you hit me thirty-two punches, I will remember each punch, let's settle the account slowly." ”

"Since you want to walk and see. ”

He had a swollen face, and his bruised features looked a little ridiculous: "Then let's go and try it, see who can trip over whom, see who can overwhelm whom, see who can ...... Kill whom. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tips of his ears moved, and the hairs on his body exploded silently. Gog quickly looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, and there was no such terrible figure in a nightmare.

"Your Excellency. Out of the corner of his eye, Gog caught a glimpse of Ioannis kneeling down, his legs weak, and the two of them fell to their knees together, their heads bowed, not daring to imagine the serious consequences of being listened to by the mage.

Will it die?

The clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat in an instant, and Gog was extremely nervous waiting for Alexey's approaching footsteps, as if waiting for a trial.

He couldn't see it, but he could hear it.

How will he punish me for my gaffes, skinning, deboning, or will he follow the example of the barbarians of the north, poking a stick through my excrement hole and out of my mouth?

O Holy Spirit......

As if disturbed by some external force, Gao Ge felt that his wild thoughts had broken through the limits of reason, and all kinds of absurd pictures swirled in his mind, suddenly in the world, and suddenly in hell. There was an extreme sense of panic that befell his body, and his teeth couldn't stop making a gratifying sound, and he felt ashamed, but the more he tried to calm down, the more he couldn't control his ten fingers from grasping his trouser legs.

On a thin layer of linen, several folds that constantly changed the height of the elastic easily betrayed the restless heart of its owner.

Torture.

Obviously, not much time has passed, but listening to every step of the mage's footsteps, on the short narrow road, a few seconds seem to be so long that he has gone through the whole life.

In a trance, Gog didn't know if the world was slowing down, or if he was lagging behind in the world, and his life had been condensed into these black boots, step by step, step by step......

He couldn't resist it any longer, clutching his pounding heart, and an unbearable pain spread from his chest to his whole body. No, Gog bit down the tip of his tongue, and the smell of rust in his mouth was sobering, but immediately, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the black leather boot right in front of him.

Ahhh

Reason is once again overwhelmed by fear.

He saw the black color of the movement, and realized that it was a drumbeat, a drum that had stepped on his heart. As long as the mage's footsteps did not stop, Gog felt that his soul was about to be driven out of his body by this step-by-step approaching rhythm, and suddenly, a beep sounded in his ears, and his boots were at hand.

He's coming!

But it didn't stop there.

The beeping stopped, boiling so much that it almost overflowed his eye sockets, and suddenly, Gao Ge suddenly felt a little blurry in front of him, and he involuntarily wiped it, but inadvertently, sweat stuck to his eyelashes.

He heard a chuckle in his ear and the sound of a key inserting a key.

A miserable white bony claw stepped forward, on all fours, and the strange-looking skeleton was opening its dark eye sockets, in a posture like a prostrate hound. But when Gog looked at it, the fear in his heart dissipated slightly, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his heart.

It seems that it has more human dignity than the two of itself.

"Not as an example. ”

The Master's forgiveness is like a bell, and when the bell strikes, it is like being pardoned.

Putting aside the absurdity that flashed in his mind just now, Gao Ge, whose spirit was suddenly relaxed, wanted to stand up for a while, only to suddenly realize that the muscles in his whole body were so sore that he couldn't stand, even after a fight with Joannis, he was not so tired, he forced himself to half-squat on the ground, and glanced at Joannis beside him.

The crisis has passed. A chilling Alexei opened his mouth to forgive them for their offense, and Gog watched as the mage and his new creature walked through the door of the utility room, but Joannis still didn't seem to react, still in the same position as before, his eyes wide open, and a small puddle of water had accumulated between his crossed knees.
