"Can I be more miserable as an attendant? I just want to live a dull life, and don't worry about my livelihood for the rest of my life, it's best to marry the daughter of a nobleman, is this request too much!"

Robert complained loudly over there, and the empty alley was filled with his voice, as if he were afraid that the monsters would not know he was coming.

He leads a scout team to scout for enemies in the mysterious city, but his focus is on whining.

And he obviously found the wrong person to talk to.

"Are you talking to me?" said Barrow, who was next to him, pointing at himself with a confused expression.

Robert reluctantly banged his head against the wall, he didn't know why the boss wanted such a boring person to team up with him.

Barrow was doing the task of 'scouting' diligently, but his large body was obviously not up to the task, and there was no place in his body that no longer conveyed the message of 'I'm here, come!'.

"I say, can't you tiptoe along, and you make a noise that even my lover in the royal city can hear!" protested even Robert in a loud voice.

Barrow looked innocent, and he could see that he was trying his best not to make a sound, but with little success.

Robert gave him a blank look, then looked behind him, Stannis had given him fifteen men as a reconnaissance unit, which made him proud of his first petty leader, but now it seems that the traverser had bad intentions in giving him Barrow.

"Really, when I am what the babysitter is?"

Robert's deft three-step, two-step stride over Barrow, showing him how important it was to be a scout, and that they were lucky not to encounter a single Chaos Folk until now.

However, when they reached the town square and did not encounter anything moving, Robert began to feel that things were not so simple, not that they were lucky, but that the city was empty!

In every room, in every alley, there were neither living nor dead, except for the canal rats scurrying in the murky waterways, probably the only moving objects in the ominous city other than them.

"Hell, I encountered that white flower corpse tide last time, why are there none of them now!" Robert felt a little bad, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The city's square still retains the scene of the destruction on Chinese New Year's Eve, with half-collapsed churches, dilapidated ruins, and a large area of black water that has not yet completely dried, and all the monsters have disappeared without a trace as if they had been evaporated.

Robert felt the family blood in his body begin to flow backwards, a sign of his detection of evil, and preparation for the battle that was to come.

Although he knew that the front was full of danger, but it was not yet time to retreat, Robert glanced at the people behind him, he didn't want to end up with the first time he led the team.

"Barrow, you take someone back first, and tell the boss that there is no enemy in the city. ”

Barrow shook his head in refusal, "What do you want to do?"

Robert raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth, "I've looked at the map, and the quarry where the Divine Seal was unearthed is just north of the city, I'm going to see if there's anything weird over there." ”

When Barrow heard this, he was anxious, because this was beyond their original plan, "Robert, what are you doing! Didn't you just say that you were just scouting the city? Are you trying to disobey the order?"

But his companion had already made up his mind, "Don't be so rigid, the order given to us is to follow the enemy's tracks, and now that no enemy can find you, are you embarrassed to go back and pay attention." ”

The knight, who was not very bright-minded, was beaten by him, and then he couldn't turn around.

"Okay, but we're all going to be able to support each other in case of an emergency. ”

Robert drew his sword, still looking shy, "Really, I have to lose a few more lives, but there are always dead people in war." ”

With that, Robert led the team in the direction of the quarry.

On the other hand, Stannis is taking advantage of the last bit of time before this big battle to relax.

Since there were no women in the camp, he had to use the original parts on his body to enjoy the primitive pleasures that could be created by himself.

That's walking on two legs.

He kept his head down, and after coming out of the camp, he wandered for a long time, and when he raised his head, he found that he had walked into a cemetery.

Under the moonlit night, there was a blue glow burning between the graves, and the science-loving Stannis certainly knew that it was phosphorus fire, but it should not be found in the dry summer?

He looked up and found a familiar figure standing in the moonlight, his long sword wrapped in the hilt, but a disturbing blue light flashed from it, it turned out that the sword of the soul slayer was draining souls from the earth, not the so-called phosphorus fire.

It's Batesmore, I don't know why he's wandering among the dead?

Stannis is looking for him, because he is also a pioneer infected by the Divine Seal, even if he is not chosen by it, but it is still possible to wade through the dead space to get close to the Divine Seal, right?

"You ......"

As soon as Stannis spoke, Batesmore interrupted him.

"How many people have you killed?"

This question made Stanis's heart furious, but he still thought about it seriously, and finally found that he was surprised to find that he had never killed a person until now, except for the manslaughter that could not determine who was the first murderer!

What a failure!Stannis covered his face with shame, although the Chaos Folk had cut down a lot, but they were all corpses and dead people, so they didn't count as killings.

"Zero...... Zero ......"

Bates Moore's sword suddenly 'ding', and it didn't like the answer.

"It's a miracle that you didn't kill anyone, and you're alive until now. Batesmore turned, his eyes glowing blood-colored again, "You're asking me why I can't get close to that sigil, because the piece I picked up doesn't belong to the sigil here, as if the sigils are full of hatred for each other, and even standing here, I can feel its resentment towards me." So as long as I get one step closer to the Divine Seal, even if there is no dead space - although I don't know what this is, my fate may be worse than that of the living. ”

Well, Stannis knew he was on his own.

"Hit ...... Excuse me. The lord, who was uncomfortable with those bloody eyes, was about to take his leave, but was stopped by the black-armored swordsman.

"Don't you want to know how many people I've killed?"

Who wants to know about this? It's not a good thing for a good person, but Stannis, who knows that the other party's temper can't beat him, still honestly said, "Didn't you say it last time? There are 984 souls in your sword." ”

The implication is that the other party killed 984 people.

But Batesmore shook his head and said he had wrong, "I have killed nine hundred and eighty-four wicked men, and two hundred and thirty-seven ......."

He didn't say anything more, but Stanis felt a chill down his spine run again.

"You must know that in order to take revenge on the devil, you must not only seek strength from the devil, but also turn into a demon yourself. ”

After saying this, Batesmore turned to look at the dark cemetery and never spoke again.
