Chapter 25: A Nightmare in Memory
Duck was terrified, seeing that person today was a nightmare that would never leave his memory.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he walked away briskly, walking faster and faster.
The long-faced man dismissed the rest of the minions, and the look on Dark's face that was wrong followed.
Darke turned past two small harbors and a main street, slowing his pace slowly.
As soon as he stopped, he found that his back was dripping with cold sweat, and the cool wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The long-faced man quickly followed, looked at Dark's panicked expression, and asked, "Boss, why do you say just go, who was that old man just now?"
"Who are you asking?" Duck said with a solemn expression after glancing at the long-faced man, "a man who can't be provoked." ”
"Big?" asked the long-faced man cautiously.
"It's a very big memory, it's a long memory. Duck replied.
"If the boss is willing to say flowers, I'd love to hear it. Dark's answer aroused the curiosity in the heart of the long-faced man.
Duck's eyes narrowed, as if recalling, "That was ten years ago, when I traveled to the far-flung Seven Nations Alliance, and I joined a mercenary group called the Grey Fox. The mercenary group is not large, only about 200 people, but it is strong and has many good players. ”
"Once we accepted a task to help a local chaebol regiment transport five boxes of gold to the city of Riester in Qiao Dianguo, because the task was very important, so at that time, including the regiment commander and all the good hands in the regiment were with the regiment to carry out the mission, I was weak at that time, and I could not ignite the fighting spirit, but I was close to the regiment commander, and I also took me, with the whole fifty people of the regiment. ”
"And then?" asked the long-faced man.
Then, while passing through the Forest of Silence, he met a robber. ”
"Is that the groom just now, and how many people did he bring?" asked the long-faced man.
"It's him, there is no superfluous man, only him, a man and a sword, and when he says that he is going to hijack the gold we are transporting, everyone is scorning and laughing at his indiscretion. As a result, we all read wrong. ”
"The deputy head is the most powerful person in us except for the head of the group, he is the elemental swordsman of the fire element, he is the first to move, but the fight is only a simple three rounds, I saw the head of the deputy head fall and roll at my feet, at this time, the head of the group and we realized the strength of the enemy, and then the head of the group led them all up, and I and another young man named Sabo were responsible for taking care of the chest containing gold because of their low strength. ”
Then I saw a scene that I will never forget. Duck closed his eyes as he said this.
"One person, he alone, slaughtered all the good hands of our Gray Fox Mercenary Regiment, including the regiment leader, deputy regimental leader, chief swordsman and everyone else. ”
"Alone. The long-faced man's face was full of shock.
"I still remember that scene with fear now, everyone was dead, stumps and blood all over the ground, only me and that Sabo were still alive, we cowered under the car, and we didn't even have the courage to come out and take a look. ”
"He didn't kill us, he just asked us to help him transport the gold, and Saab and I were used by him as coolies, because there were few people, and the journey was very slow, and we walked for five whole days without seeing the outline of the city. ”
"Then on the night of the fifth day, Sabo and I escaped, and on the way we took advantage of his rest to discuss the countermeasures, and the two of us fled in different directions, because we thought that even if he caught someone, he could only track one, and Sal and I had half of the chance of survival, and whoever lived and who died, each had a destiny. I didn't run long before he caught me again. ”
"You've been caught, and that kid named Sabo has run away, he's so lucky. The long-faced man sighed.
A hint of sadness appeared on Dark's face: "No, he died, and when I was captured, I saw Sabo dead, with his throat cut and died, and he died a terrible death. He pulled out the dagger he had with him, and I was trembling with fear, I thought I was going to die, and he would slit my throat like Sabo's throat. ”
"I cried for help, but no one answered, and when I begged for mercy, he showed no mercy. I thought that the Forest of Silence would be my graveyard, where I would die, and then let the wolves eat my flesh clean, and no one would know or pay tribute. Until finally, he slashed me. ”
Duck said this, and his left hand touched the scar on his forehead, which was long and deep, extending from the hairline to the corner of the eye, and looked extremely hideous, and you can imagine how shocking the wound was at that time.
"I didn't die, I tore off my clothes and bandaged them simply, and then I was forced to continue transporting gold with him, and he promised me on the way that he would let me go when I had hit him, but I had seen him kill so many people that I couldn't believe a word of his words. I lived in fear every day, I didn't even have the courage to run away, and every night I dreamed that he would suddenly slit my throat on a whim, and I swear, it was the hardest day of my life. ”
"Three days later, I saw the silhouette of Lister, and at last I was almost in the city. He was no longer there, as if waiting for someone to pick him up. When I arrived, I thought I was going to die, and he killed me like a living animal, but he didn't kill me, he untied my rope and made me disappear from his sight at once. ”
"I didn't dare to stop for a moment, I just ran away, I didn't know when he would change his mind. I ran far away, wandering aimlessly in the Forest of Silence for many days, hunting wild game to satisfy my hunger when I was hungry, and drinking the water of the forest stream when I was thirsty. It wasn't until a caravan passed by that I was rescued back into the Seven Nation Alliance. ”
Duck said this, stopped, and said nothing, the atmosphere was eerily silent.
After a long time, Duck sighed, exhaled a white breath and continued: "I never knew his name or his origin, until later by chance, I went to Rist to look for someone and saw him again. ”
"What is he doing in Lister?" asked the long-faced man.
"Patrol with guards in Rist. Duck replied.
"Isn't he a robber?" said the long-faced man in surprise.
"I just saw him from a distance, he shouldn't have noticed me, I didn't dare to come closer, I was far away, watching him pass by with a group of soldiers. ”
Later, when I inquired in the tavern in the city, I learned that he was the chief swordsman enshrined by the lord of Rist City, Ying Qiong, and he was also the commander of the two thousand city defense guards of Ris City. ”
"What's his name. The long-faced man also had a solemn face when he heard this.
"Rock Laurie, Rock Laurie, the executioner from Rist. Duck shuddered at the mention of the name, and the fear that went deep into his bones will never be forgotten.
