Chapter 15: Enlightenment

Ioannis is full of energy

Before the turnip was gnawed, the donkey was already humming and chirping.

Sometimes, a promise that is insignificant in Alexey's eyes is a ladder to the top of life in the hearts of mortals.

The opportunity that many people are looking forward to is now at their fingertips, and Ioannis thinks that he still has a keen sense of smell, how can he, as a "hunter", waste this hard-won white deer.

He immediately changed his mentality, and naturally substituted into his new identity, almost greedily grasping every opportunity to express himself. As a slave catcher in the past, he clearly realized that it was his duty to become a mage's sheepdog and manage the flock, and it was also the only best chance for him to snatch the mage's blue eye from Gog now.

At least in terms of results, he worked hard to keep Alexei from finding a single blemish.

The purchase of healing potions and anti-disease potions did not make waves, and Joannis was able to pass the initial test of Alex without any problems.

The mage placed three warning runes at the staircase of the storage room and laboratory, and two flame traps on the staircase leading to the living room on the upper level.

None of them were triggered.

The hound, eager to show his worth, single-handedly blocked the exit of the narrow road, not even using his weapons, and simply, with a pair of meat fists and scolding, he forced the cowardly sheep to lean in front of the door to keep warm. The timid sheep only dared to complain in trivial whispers about how this former colleague turned his face and was willing to be a lackey, but they did not dare to really stand up and organize a rebellion.

As to why this is so, two brave pioneers have set an example for the flock. As soon as they first spoke out to express their dissatisfaction, Joannis struck a thunderous blow and knocked them all to the ground. If you dare to pull out the nails, the rest will naturally be obedient.

"Good. ”

That's what Alexey saw when he returned.

Hiding alone in the corner, no different from an ostrich, Goge glanced this way, and he shrank deeper, hiding in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the candlelight, hugging himself in a ball, and giving up on himself.

"Come here, Gog. ”

The invisible magic brutally dragged Gog out of his false world in the sand, and beside him, Ioannis was triumphant.

"I said losers should be punished, right?"

Gog lowered his head, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

"I don't have the courage to resist, I don't have the courage to escape, and I don't have the courage to fulfill the trust I have given you. ”

Alexei tugged at his collar and pulled his face closer.

"You've disappointed me, Gog. ”

"Remember what I said to you, neither Gruj nor the female mage are as good as you? ”

"You have talent. ”

"But you don't have the personality to match that talent. ”

"One last chance. ”

Alex stepped out, and the crowd exclaimed, and Blue Dream's cross sword whizzed between Gog's legs and stuck at his feet.

"Pick up the sword and kill them. ”

Alexey let go of his magic and threw Gog to the ground. He pointed to the two members of the Black Stork who had fainted, and said in a solemn tone: "Take their lives in exchange for your lives." ”

Silent.

Gog opened his mouth, a tingling pain in his hoarse throat, and he couldn't spit out. He hesitated for a moment, but still stood up silently and drew his sword, and under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked in front of the two Black Stork members.

He looked at the two of them with a hesitant look on his face.

Past colleagues.

A traitor, or a murderer.

Both.

The events of the past two days were so bizarre that his hand holding the sword was still trembling.

The ups and downs of life have never been as dense as today's.

What should I do?

His eyes widened as he swept over the crowd around him.

The sheep looked at him with wet eyes, with a certain anticipation in them.

But sheep are sheep, they are not bison with horns that will rebel, they are very desperate for their lives, and the only wolf is ......

Joannis was looking at him with a sneer, making a veiled gesture - wash his neck and wait for death.

He knew what Ioannis was fighting for, and he knew there was no compromise between the two.

But he just couldn't fight it.

Is the reward for becoming an Alexa's mage apprentice not attractive enough?

No.

Even if he had never heard of Alexey's name, after half a day of companionship, he knew that this was a powerful mage with profound mana and great knowledge.

And mage, just two words, means power, power, and countless wealth.

Become an apprentice, then a mage.

People are on the top, and they reach the sky in one step.

Temptation?

Tempt.

For this reward, Gao Ge, who has lived under the people for a long time, is more enthusiastic than everyone present.

He craves.

However, he couldn't.

It's weakness, but also low self-esteem.

Compete with Ioannis, if he does, as early as the Black Stork, Gog Skalren should be a core member, an official leader.

In five years, nothing has been achieved in joining the gang.

He knew he was a piece of shit.

Without confidence and ability, he is like a maggot living in a dung heap, eating and waiting to die.

Before today, the worst thing he had ever done was to make a few tricks and make some ill-gotten gains on the streets.

As for murder? He didn't even think about it in his dreams.

How do I get my hands on it?

He looked back at the poor people he had dragged into the mage's territory along the way, their eyes, shining in the candlelight, without blinking, just watching.

Don't look at me!

Just a little contact, Gao Ge couldn't help but turn his head, his palm was wet and slippery, and he was about to lose his sword.

What am I going to do?

What to do!

He saw the undulating chests of the living people on the ground, and saw their slightly trembling fingers, they were all living people, they were all living people!

As if suddenly he realized something, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched. A shudder, as soon as the fingers holding the sword loosened, the strength that had been gathered with great difficulty was dispersed, and a crisp sound was heard in the ears.

Finished.......

Faster than thoughts are certain decisions that have been made in the subconscious.

Looking back, Gog didn't know whether the fear in his heart at that time overpowered the unbearable, or the unbearable in his heart overpowered the fear, but he knew that in the end, it was the weak body that made the decision for him.

As soon as the floodgates of consciousness opened, the cowardly flood was more like bursting the embankment, and the rolling torrent swept the construction and courage along the way, and the rapids went straight down, instantly breaking the point in his heart that the embankment that had been built with great difficulty. The dejected Gao Ge sat down on the ground completely, and the cross sword fell to the side: "I..... I can't do it. ”

"Ioannis. ”

Alexey's cold voice resounded through the narrow aisle.

"Understood, sir. Joannis gladly agreed, and he walked past Gog, and as he picked up his sword, he passed by the latter. Hearing only the sound of the victor's thin mosquitoes ringing in his ears, he said, "Waste. ”

Gog suddenly came to his senses, and roared, startled by the hand of Joannis who picked up the sword, but was preempted by this coward.

Suddenly shrunk to the size of a pinpoint in the pupils burning with timidity, suddenly rose up to hold the sword and slam through the obstacles in front of him, the cold light in front of him was pressing, the blade of the cross sword was sharp, and Joannis, who did not dare to directly attack its edge, had to avoid half of his body, and watched him rush to the side of the two black stork members in a few steps, one sword at a time, and let the blood spurting from the pierced throat splash all over his body.

The hallway was full of screams.

Alexei hooked the corners of his mouth and whispered to them, "Pack this up, and keep them in the smallest compartment." Which of you can cook?"

He shouted at the crowd.

"Me!"

A clever woman raised her hand first, she casually patted the dust on her exposed clothes, trotted a few steps, knelt on the ground, and kissed Alexey's boot lightly.

"What's your name?"

"Dora, my lord, my name is Dora. Have mercy. ”

In order to show her obedience, she pressed her whole body to the ground as much as possible, and her buttocks were raised high with only a few pieces of cloth. The towering breasts were crushed and shriveled, like two white flower dough squeezed into cakes.

She knows how to use her strengths.

The voice was weak and pitiful.

Dora's facial features are not particularly beautiful, but they are enough to give an intriguing evaluation. She was the only woman in the group who hadn't cried, and her makeup was still intact, so there might be a prettier figure in the crowd, but in this case, she was at least the only one who looked fairly neat.

"Alright, it's you. ”

Alexei, the other dirty slave, was not interested in letting them hold their hands dirty and handle their own dinner.

"Follow me. ”

With Dora, Alexei returned to the living room on the top floor, where Blue Dream was still lying on the long table near the door.

Commanded Dora to serve Lan Meng and drink the anti-disease potion, and poured healing potions on her wounds. Half orally and half topically.

Based on Alexey's inference about Blue Dream's injury, she would wake up in about two hours.

However, just in case, he laid down a few warning runes, and told Dora that Alexei, who should inform him as soon as Blue Dream woke up, felt that many miscellaneous things had been over. He took some of the blood of the old king and a few fragments of Olmeia-like gems, and rushed headlong into the laboratory.

"Alcharius" had been waiting for a long time, so long that as soon as Alexei entered the door, he smelled a familiar stench.

Corpse stench.

Alexei hurried forward, and his worry was slightly relieved when he saw Alcharius's eyes follow his movements. But he reacted immediately, sliced a small piece of Alcharius's flesh with a knife, and recited the spell of the Clarity Spell in his mouth, and immediately he saw some bad omens in the random sample.

Alcharius began to rot.
