When Evelyn saw that the person she was looking forward to finally returned, a smile appeared on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, which made Stannis, who had just picked up a life, couldn't help but look stunned, and even the exhaustion on her body was reduced a little.

While he was still immersed in this smile and was fascinated, Kimberly bumped him on the shoulder, "I said Your Excellency Stennis, you are too careful, there is still one lying on the bed!"

Embarrassed by this, Stannis made it feel like he had opened a harem, he took the serum from Corvo's hand and dripped it into Anya's mouth as he commanded, but what he expected did not happen, and the woman who was still in a deep coma showed no signs of waking up.

"It's ......" Stannis frowned, he looked already upset.

But Corvo seemed to know that this was going to happen, "It's okay, it takes a day for this serum to work, and she'll wake up tomorrow morning." ”

Stannis said that he would be skeptical, but he did feel that Anya's originally motionless body did show some signs of recovery, and after all that he had been through, he felt that there was no point in the smiling man trying to deceive himself.

At this time, the men in the room were screaming with hunger, and they had not eaten a drop of water since the previous night.

I really want to eat pumpkin...... Stannis thought as he touched his belly, but he knew that with the destruction of Oaktown, the cruel and evil food would disappear with its owner.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Unexpectedly, Hailey, who had been silent, took the initiative to take on the task of making dinner, and this banshee ghost turned into a better wife and mother than a human being after losing her memory.

At the same time, her gentle aura seemed to be contagious, and Evelyn, who had never cooked, even offered to help cook.

After the two women disappeared from the room, Kimberly sighed meaningfully, "I'm a county magistrate anyway, why can't I have this kind of good luck, it seems that if I want to please women in this world, the most important thing is to be able to fight." ”

But this joke did not make Stannis feel relieved, although the demon business is over, there is one most important thing to be rescued, or he is here for it.

He rested his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked up at Corvo, the smiling man with blood on his hand.

"Now, then, Corvo, you're going to give me a reason not to kill you. ”

"What!" Kimberly on the side was taken aback, he didn't expect that after so many things, this guy still didn't let go of all this, "Stan, are you confused! After all this experience, you still want to kill him? Don't you know who he is?"

His words also made Stannis's heart very conflicted, in the process of saving the town together, Kovo can be said to have played a decisive role, and it also made people see that he was not so bad, not to mention that he also saved Anya. But that doesn't offset the sins he committed when he was a smiling man, and everyone has to pay for the sins he committed, and Stannis has always believed in that.

Seeing that his hand still showed no signs of moving from the hilt of the sword, Kimberly directly blocked his body in front of his friend, "If you insist on killing him, step on my corpse first." ”

Stannis didn't expect to be reduced to making this bloody choice, from his own point of view, he has not seen the crimes committed by Corvo only saw him risk his life in order to save the world, of course he wanted to let him go, but this is too unfair to Anya, after all, her tragic life is due to this person, if the killing is true, no matter how far it is, the smiling man is so unforgivable.

At this point, Corvo raised his hand and threw Kimberly out and closed the door, and he seemed to have accepted his fate calmly.

"If you're going to kill me, at least don't do it where my friends can see it. Corvo said calmly.

This made Stannis seem at a loss, although he believed that as long as he swung his sword to separate the head of the man in front of him now, he would definitely be able to make Anya treat himself as a hero in the future, and follow him forever because of gratitude, but his heart told him that he was wrong.

Maybe this man had other intentions and ordered the killing of Anya's entire family?

But Corvo saw what he was thinking, and the smiling man admitted without hesitation: "I am the one who led the people to carry out the order to attack the Phoenix family, and I confess the unforgivable crime I have committed." ”

This statement made Stannis want to excuse him.

"But...... But why are you doing this!" Stannis went so far as to ask this idiotic question.

But Corvo held his head high, "I am a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, regardless of the reason!"

"My ...... I mean, why did Duke Garcia instruct you to slaughter the Phoenix family?"

"Because they're sheltering someone they shouldn't be sheltering. ”

"The last bloodline of the previous duke...... But you don't have to be so ruthless, wouldn't it be nice to secretly assassinate that guy? Why slaughter Anya's family!"

Corvo let out a long sigh, "This is the style of His Royal Highness, he wants to give people a warning, warn those who oppose him to pay the price of blood!"

"Then you are too cold-blooded! Anya told me everything you did, and the atrocities you committed that night were simply unspeakable! Are you a beast!?

Corvo also knew that the crime he had committed was unforgivable, his eyelids kept trembling, as if he didn't want to think about what happened that night, "This is the Duke's personal order, that night I just want to bring the Marquis of Phoenix led by me to justice on the spot, but under the Duke's order to slaughter all of them, I have completely lost control of my troops, and they are like wild beasts to kill into the castle of the Phoenix family and do atrocities that even wild beasts can't do." I can assure you that before that Black Watch, though good at killing, had never turned into a demon like that night! The only thing I could do was to deliberately slash the girl with the heterochromic pupils before my men could find her, so that at least she could live. ”
