Helliana just shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't quite know what was going on with this woman either.

"Mr. Corvo just said that this woman had been poisoned by Tucker's special demon poison and would turn into a pile of blood after four days of sleep. ”

"What!" Stannis couldn't believe his ears, he had managed to get together with the woman he liked, and now he told him that she would die in a day and a half, this script was too bloody!

Of course, Stannis was not reconciled, he threw himself over and grabbed Heliana's shoulders and shook her vigorously, shouting, "Is there nothing there can do to save her!"

Heliana's hair was shaken loose by him, and she pushed Stannis away with great difficulty and glared at him.

"I can tell you she's hopeless unless ......"

"Unless anything!"

"Unless you go back to Hell again and kill the devil with poisonous blood. ”

Corvo sat down and let out a long breath, he finally managed to save the silver-haired woman covered in scars from the hands of death.

"Do you think that person is the savior you've been looking for?"

Kimberly lifted the remaining half-bottle of juniper berries and poured them violently, and the wound on his neck healed and went through a night of tossing, which was really unclear for his old body.

The object of his questioning, of course, was Kovo, a middle-aged man over forty years old, who wiped his hands with a white towel stained with bright red blood, all of which belonged to the woman on the bed.

But Kovo didn't answer his question directly, he just looked at Kimberly, an old friend he had known for almost forty years, and although he didn't smile at all, the upturned scar on his lips made him look like he wasn't smiling all the time.

"Actually, you don't have to come. Corvo snatched the bottle from Kimberly's hand, raised his head and took a big sip.

Kimberly smiled bitterly, "How could I not come, do you have any other trustworthy people in the entire county besides me?" ”

Corvo shook his head, having lived in seclusion in the woods of his hometown for almost ten years, he had sensed that something was starting to be wrong with Oak Town a few months ago, and he had a keen sense of danger and was experienced in sudden events, he came out of the forest and found his old friend Kimberly to express his concerns, but it did not alert the county magistrate at the time.

By the time Kimberly discovered the danger, it was too late, and the demon who had appeared two months earlier with the Duke's mandate and disguised as a human had already corrupted the town. In the end, the demon Tucker, who revealed his true identity, coerced and lured him, and took out the duke's order to force him to transform this place into a paradise for demons and a breeding ground for monster armies, but Kimberly refused categorically without hesitation, but he didn't expect to be attacked by the other party and fell to the bottom. Luckily, Kovo, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared in time and rescued him from the river.

For the next two months, the recuperating Kimberley Mayor could only watch as his townspeople were reduced to food for the demons, and he once disguised himself as beggars to enter the town to warn them, only to find that they were replaced by the demons almost overnight, and the rest of the people sold their souls to become servants of these monsters. He also wanted to write to the other lords for help, but even the Duke was the backstage of these monsters, and who believed what he said, and who would dare to help him?

"You were asking me if that guy named Stannis was the savior I had been looking for, and I could only tell you that I didn't know, because he had to choose for himself. ”

"My choice is—yes!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door that shouldn't have belonged, it was Stanis, who ignored Heliana's obstruction and broke straight in.

Helliana hurried up from behind, and said to the people in the room with a guilty face, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Corvo, I didn't stop him......"

But the smiling man just nodded at her gently, indicating that it didn't matter.

"You've heard it all. ”

Stannis nodded, already knowing that he seemed to be an important part of some plan.

"How's Anya?" asked Kovo even though he already knew the answer.

"You know. Stannis stared at him word for word.

"How do I feel the murderous aura between your eyebrows, even though not to me, Hayley, you told him all?"

The girl's breathing began to be rapid, and her expression became even more eerie, and Stannis had never seen her facial features combine so dissonantly.

But Corvo didn't blame her, he just looked at Stannis calmly, "Then you should also know that if you want to save that woman, you have to return to Oak Town again, it will be a journey to the death." ”

Previously, in Anya's room, Helliana could only tell him the truth in the face of his almost threatening language.

Although the venom of the demons is 100% lethal, it is not incurable, and this antidote is the purest serum of the demons, but that kind of thing is only found in this land.

But as for where the serum was stored in Oaktown, Hyliana refused to say anyway.

"Now that you're clear, it looks like you're about to make up your mind to get back into town, and you can do us a favor when it comes to retrieving the serum. Sure enough, Corvo has included him in his plans for the future.

But Stannis has no choice now, and in order to save Anya, he can only bite the bullet and go again.

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's simple, destroy the giant pumpkin in the middle of that square. ”

"Pumpkin?" Stannis was confused, he knew it was weird, but wasn't the most important thing right now to take the serum and save Anya?

Corvo nodded at Hyliana, and only after he had permission could the girl continue with everything.

"You should know that under that crypt there is a giant demon, the god in Tucker's mouth, who is absorbing the essence of your human beings and hiding in a cocoon to hatch. ”

Stannis nodded.

"And the blood flowing in that demon's body is the antidote that can cure Miss Anya. ”

"Then why would you run to destroy the pumpkins?" Stannis wondered.

"Because the monster you see from below is actually inhabiting the giant pumpkin, and the only way to destroy it is to smash it open from above. ”

It dawned on Stannis that the demons were trying to worship the giant pumpkin as a miracle.

"So what are we waiting for? go to town and destroy the pumpkins now!" Stannis shouted eagerly.

But Corvo held out his hand to stop him, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, wouldn't it be too risky to go now?"

Stannis didn't speak, he just nodded, and the black armor shrouded in golden light covered his whole body directly, allowing his wrapped body to quickly regain its strength.

"Now you can. The tiredness on Stennis was swept away.

Kimberly on the side was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a magical armor, and couldn't help but shout: "Damn! I wonder if this guy can really save us all!"
