Chapter 107: The Long Night: Shock

The sky was cloudless, it was too cloudy, and the night seemed to be a long one.

The head of the Han probably thought that he would die, and even told this kind of secret.

Without waiting for Arrogant to ask, he continued.

The story isn't too complicated.

The first generation of the family has been poor, although the empire does not engage in the set of feudal kings and vassals, but a poor person like him for many generations basically has no chance to achieve anything in his career, not to mention the half-step quasi-noble, and being able to become an edict can be regarded as the ancestral tomb is smoking.

Although the background is bad, but the head of the Han is lucky, when he was young, he inadvertently rescued the nobleman who was almost drowned in the river, and it is a nobleman, what are the characteristics of the noble? Their aristocratic status is innate, and it is too easy to get it, so compared to the nobles, they are generally simpler, and this nobleman is not only extraordinarily simple, but his status is also particularly prominent - the head of the city guessed his identity from his clothes, but he never thought that the person he saved was actually the younger brother of the current Emperor Celin. This is a top-notch nobleman of the first class, although Liu Huo'er was still young at that time, he was still the emperor's son rather than the emperor's brother, and he had not yet been officially knighted, but someone had written down this situation. It didn't take long for someone to promote the head of the gang to be a small official. Although he didn't see Liuhuer again after that, his career was smooth, and in less than twenty years, he was in his current position.

From a grass farmer to a bureaucrat, and then climbed all the way up at a fast speed, there is no doubt that the head of the city has naturally become the choice of the son-in-law in the eyes of countless officials and even nobles. Eventually, he married a daughter who had been a noble qigong worker. Although he is an outdated nobleman, considering that the head of the village had just been promoted to serve in the village at that time, there is no need to say much about his father-in-law's optimism about him.

After marriage, the career of the head of the house was really smooth, but the relationship between him and his new wife was not good. The reason seems to be ridiculous, but it implies a certain inevitability.

Although he didn't dare to say what he wanted since he was a child, he rarely had restrictions on spending money, but he was not, his ancestors had been poor for several generations, and the first ten years of his life were the same, and thrift and restraint had already become part of his character. The difference in the concept of the two husbands and wives is that I don't know how many times I have quarreled about this matter, although the empire is also a country where men are superior to women, but Mrs. is proud of her status as a noble lady, and she refuses to make the slightest concession. The relationship between the two, which lacked foundation, has long been wiped out in this kind of dispute and conflict. It's just that during the period, due to the birth of a child, the promotion of the head of the house and other reasons, the two people have been separated for a long time, and the contradictions and conflicts have not finally risen to the point of being out of control.

However, three years ago, not long after the promotion of the head of Han, Mrs. Hanmori rarely brought her daughter here to visit her husband, but on the way she spent a lot of money to buy a lot of local specialties, saying that it was to be given to relatives and friends as gifts prepared by the head of Han. As a result, the husband and wife who had been reunited after a long absence, had another conflict over this matter, and this time the head of the house made a mistake and pushed the lady down the stairs, and the lady died on the spot.

It took a lot of thought and lips before and after, and finally dealt with this matter as Mrs. accidentally fell to her death, and sent her daughter back to Mrs. Mother's house. I thought that I would rot this thing in my stomach for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that half a year later, the curse began to appear.

First found that as long as he touched the coins would disappear strangely, when something similar happened a few times, the head of the Han went to ask for help from the mage and the doctor of the Zhi, but found nothing, and I don't know what kind of mentality drove the head of the house to count the money, the result is to "touch" all the savings for many years, and triggered the first alienation. Since then, the head of the Han has become an alienated metal, no, it is an alienated money demon. And as he absorbed more and more coins, his alienated body became larger and larger, and his alienation state became more and more stable, and now he could freely control his alienation except for those two nights every month.

There is no need to go into detail about the rest, in short, the head of the Han regards this alienation as the curse of his deceased wife, and accepts this fate calmly.

After telling his story calmly, he was silent for a while before he asked.

"Didn't you try to lift the curse?"

"I have asked a lot of people, and even asked a robe mage from the legal management department, and they all said that the situation of being cursed and transformed into a demon is extremely rare, and the robe mage also said that he must see it in person in order to more accurately study the cause of the alienation, and he can't even explain the reason, so naturally he can't talk about lifting it. ”

"Can't even be a priest?" Although he only knows a little about it, he also knows that in this world, if he wants to be capable, he has to count the priests. It's not that the priest himself is powerful, he is definitely powerful, but he is not sure to be powerful, but he is not sure to eat the mage, the key is that there is a god on the person's head.

"I'm just a small leader, not even a nobleman, and if the priest knew that I was a stranger, I'm afraid I would die sooner. ”

As mentioned earlier, the encounters between aliens and humans almost always end in bloodshed, and the difference between priests and mages is that they have a little responsibility to protect the territory and the people, although they will not take the initiative to attack, but if various creatures invade the human world, it is impossible for the priest to be invisible.

Ao Zongheng was silent for a while, "Can you still take back your two feet?"

"I haven't tried, I'm afraid not. ”

"It doesn't hurt?"

"Metal demons don't feel pain, and if they turn back into a human body, they will probably faint from pain. Hanshou's tone was still so calm, as if it wasn't his own foot that was broken.

"It seems like you're crippled, I thought you could take it back yourself. ”

"People are going to die, so what does it matter if they are crippled or not. "Hanshou seems to be very indifferent to death.

"Who said you're going to die?" said Aoheng suddenly.

"You're not going to kill me?" Hanshou's golden face, which had not changed his expression, seemed to be moved, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to die either.

"I don't seem to have said I'd kill you from beginning to end. ”

"Why?" said Hanshou, curious.

Arrogant Zongzong Mi didn't answer him, but asked, "After the alienation, how many people have you killed?"

"Nope. ”

"Didn't you find any other women to accompany you before this girl, and they didn't discover your secret?"

"I didn't buy a woman to accompany me until I was able to control my alienation, and before that there was a slave girl, who should have doubts about my identity, but she didn't dare to try it, and she couldn't escape, so she committed suicide. That's after that, I bought the current slave girl. ”

Aozong had been staring at Sakai Shou's eyes, and suddenly turned his face in the direction of Sakai Shou's bedroom, "Did you hear it all?"

"Listen, hear. It was the girl's voice.

"Do you still want to kill him?" asked Aoheng.

"I, I don't know. The girl hesitated for a moment before answering.

She didn't know why she said this, but before this night, she was full of hatred and fear for him, and her greatest wish to live every day was to die with him. However, after listening to a long monologue by Hanshou just now, she found that her fear of him had disappeared, and even her hatred seemed to have faded a lot, and there was an emotion that she couldn't say what it was, which seemed to be growing.

Ao Zongheng didn't seem surprised by her answer, and said, "She once asked me to kill you, but now she has changed her mind, and I will give you two choices, either make her your new wife, or give her a sum of money to send her back to your hometown." But I warn you, you may not have the luck to meet a woman who can accept your alien status. ”

The head and the girl looked at the arrogant at the same time, and then looked at each other, and the girl and the head of the city made eye contact, and then turned their heads away.

"I, I'm willing to marry her. After saying this, Han Shou seemed to have made a very important decision, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Arrogantly turned his head, looked at the girl, and did not speak.

"I, I'm ......" the girl seemed to be nervous and stuttered a little.

"Okay, I see, then nothing will happen to me. After speaking, he stayed downstairs.

"Wait. The head and the girl shouted at him at the same time, "Master Mage just said that you want some money from me?"

"Well, but your money is all on you, don't say give me this foot, I can't stand it. ”

"I still have some money in the office, and I'll have someone get it. Hanshou wanted to move, but then he remembered that his leg was broken, so he only looked at the girl.

"No need, just tell me where it is, I'll pick it up myself. Ao Zongheng said as he walked down the stairs.

"By the way, your guards and servants are all in your dungeon. Also, your feet, I think you can try to open your own furnace and melt him and then connect it, you won't hurt anyway......" Ao Zongheng walked farther and farther, but his voice seemed to keep coming in the ears of the two of them.

It was foggy and overcast, and I don't know how long the night would be.

In the wilderness, in the thick fog, seven horses could be seen galloping eastward.

A horse with black hair, six chestnut hair, and a cavalry team capable of seven horses is no longer what ordinary rich people can hope for, let alone six horses of the same color, just this formation is enough to see the identity of the horse.

Six chestnut furs, surrounded by black fur in the center, it is clear that the owner of the black horse is the core of this line. These six chestnut furs may just be the knights who defend him.

It's a pity that the sky is dark and foggy, and I really can't see the faces of these people clearly.

"Quick, climb over that dirt slope, and we should be at our outpost!" the first one urged looking back. The sound of hooves was sudden, and I didn't know if the people behind me heard it clearly.

Although it was separated from a small dirt slope, the night sky was faintly lit by a dancing campfire.

Campfire, very bright.

Suddenly, a whistling sound that could not even be drowned out by the hooves of seven healthy horses came from behind.

Along with the whistling sound came a huge wave of air.

A wave of air swept towards the backs of the seven healthy horses.

The stump flies, both on horses and on people.

The three fallen chestnut-haired knights used their lives to block the wave of air and buy time for the others to rush up the dirt slope.

However, there is a second wave of air.

But before the wave of qi swept in, the three chestnut horses that were originally guarding the black horse had silently retreated behind the black horse.

As long as this wave of air is blocked again, the owner will be safe, this is the only thought in their hearts.

However, the power of this wave of qi was even greater than just now.

Although the three chestnut horses sacrificed their lives to protect each other, the black horse was still thrown away by the huge impact, and the knight on the horse naturally flew out with it, just over the dirt slope, and fell heavily on the slope.

The camp was right in front of us, and there was a campfire rushing to the sky.

A triangular military flag with red emblem on a black background is gradually being swallowed up by the frenzied dancing tongue of fire.

It was the last sight he saw.
