"Is this the soul? How could they be like this now?" Stannis was the first time he had been so intimate with the human soul.

Batesmore did not answer him, and did not seem to want to explain any scientific principles to him.

"This is the nine hundred and eighty-sixth. ”

He said something that Stannis didn't understand at all.

Although he knew that the other party would lose his appetite again, Stannis still asked honestly: "What 986?"

Batesmore lovingly slashed the tip of his finger across the blade, and the white soul that had been floating in the air was suddenly reabsorbed by the sword, and he raised his head, his eyes unable to contain excitement.

"Slay fourteen more souls, and I will be able to complete my revenge. ”

Stannis suddenly remembered what the previous Legion Commander Hansen had said at the banquet, if this sword only needs to kill a thousand souls, even gods can kill it!

Could it be that this drunken joke was true at that time?

"Don't be kidding! if this sword is really so powerful, there are still 14 souls left, you can just find a few passers-by to fill the number, then you are already invincible in the world, why do you still follow me!" Stannis pretended not to care and waved his hand to go back to sleep, although the uneasiness in his heart was extremely strong.

"Stop!" Batesmore commanded.

Stannis stopped, no one dared to be so arrogant about him as a lord.

However, he turned around, and Batesmore began to tell the origin of his sword.

"The more this sword goes, the more powerful the soul evil power it wants to devour, ordinary souls can no longer satisfy it, only the souls of extremely evil people can satisfy its appetite. ”

Stannis's heart was beating faster, and he finally knew why this guy always went out to eliminate harm for the people, and he also understood that the other party really had bad intentions.

"And now your soul is filled with darkness, which is exactly what it needs. ”

No wonder this guy who has been absent from work insists on coming this time, it turns out that he has already set his eyes on his infected body, and Stannis, who has seen his methods, has no confidence to be his opponent, this guy is not only shockingly violent, but can even emit a virtual flash out of thin air!

"But it would be foolish to take your life just for the sake of a soul. Batesmore looked up, his red pupils extinguished, "I'm curious why you were chosen by 'him' to become 'his' pioneer?"

This guy really knows a lot!

"Are you, like me, possessed by the black water?"

The mercenary nodded, "The difference is that you were chosen by the Divine Seal, and I begged 'him' to get this armor and this sword. ”

"Why?" Stannis didn't react, is there anyone in this world who is actively infected by this dark force.

"I will take revenge on the abyss with the power of darkness. ”

Stannis opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time, he didn't expect that a person could be so ruthless for revenge that even his soul could be sold.

"You've seen the Divine Seal too?"

Batesmore didn't speak, and the sight of black water burrowing from the surface of his skin into his pores was still vivid all those years ago.

"I am a fisherman from Galerie, north of the three islands, and have been wandering the world for almost 100 years. ”

He finally spoke up to tell his story.

Stannis was not surprised at his longevity, he knew that it was the price to pay for becoming a dark puppet, and to be dominated by black armor was to wander the world forever.

"Originally, I had a wife and two children. "Like all familiar revenge stories, it all unfolds because of family.

"Seventy years ago, a wandering merchant came from my village, and he was as handsome as an angel in a church, and the young girls in the village fell in love with him. ”

Stannis felt that the so-called beautiful boy was not simple.

"And on the same day, I fished out a statue-like fragment under the sea rock, which seemed to have peeled off from some mark. I took it home and kept it in my living room as an ornament. ”

Fragments of the Divine Seal!

"In the days that followed, everything happened as smoothly as water, and I even invited the boy to my house for dinner. But suddenly, one day, while I was away, the village was slaughtered by the boy for no apparent reason, and everyone but me died. ”

When he said this, Batesmore spoke in a calm tone, as if he was telling another person's story.

"As I walked into the room where my wife and children were lying with tears in my eyes, the shard began to glow black, as if echoing my sorrow. From that day on, I decided to take revenge on the demon, even if it came at the cost of selling my soul to another demon!"

"In the end, I exchanged my soul for this armor and this sword, and became a soul slayer who collected souls for the Divine Seal, and in the ensuing seventy years of revenge and pursuit, I learned that the beautiful young man was hiding an abyss master at the end of the year, and he went all the way only to devour souls. ”

"What! Abyss Master! It turns out that there is more than one of them. Stannis thought of the New Year, and Robert had to work hard to seal a weak abyss master with Robert and Evelyn.

"Yes, He is called the supreme being of this world, but even then, I will give up everything to kill Him!"

Even just standing by, Stannis could feel how fierce the man's obsession with revenge was, and there was nothing to stop him from falling into hell for it.

"So I must not die until then, and as the master of the hiding place I have chosen, you must not die until I complete my revenge!" Batesmore said to him, looking up and in a strong tone.

Stannis hurriedly kept laughing, "Of course, we all have to live well." ”

"However, as a person who has come before, I still have a little advice for you, so that you can adapt to this dark force and prevent it from corrupting you as soon as possible. ”

The lord listened.

"First of all, you have to resist the urge to tear the skin off. ”

Stannis felt itchy all over his body.

"If you really want to scratch, think more about a beautiful woman or man naked, this dark force seems to be allergic to this. ”

Looks like this guy has a lot of experience.

Then your dark heart will eventually fill all of you, and don't try to defeat it, because whoever your mind will eventually be corrupted by it, it's only a matter of time. ”

Stannis didn't like the suggestion, wasn't he going to end up being this monster, and he felt sick at the thought of his handsome face being covered in iron hooks.

"In the end, the ultimate time to become a slave to darkness depends on when you are devoured by the beasts that you have incarnated in your mind, such as mine is there. ”

Stannis followed his gaze into the distance, a huge dire wolf was standing across the lake, its pitch-black fur finally becoming one, if it weren't for the row of snow-white wolf fangs, Stannis really didn't notice that it had been hiding quietly in the dark.
