After stripping Rex of her elite title, the Night Mother gave it to Epley Weir and Rim Artis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the same time, the eldest lady Serena was promoted to a special elite. They and the four of them are responsible for all the assassination, rescue and other work that the Brotherhood is currently entrusted with.

Engil's whipping of Rex was both an order and an attempt to teach him a lesson. He has a natural antipathy and antagonism towards Rex emotionally, a feeling derived from his boredom with Cicero. When it comes to the future of the Brotherhood, Cicero and his own political views are always at odds, and they are always opposing him, either explicitly or covertly.

Cicero, out of political necessity, would be partial to Rex's actions. This secret shelter was the source of Engil's suffering, and he was unable to attack Cicero head-on, so he had to torture and resent the members who were close to him or who were protected by him.

He whipped Rex so hard that he felt a pleasant vengeance-like thrill in his heart. The whip did real damage, and the delicate skin on Rex's back was blurred with whipped flesh, like a giant claw grabbing at his back, tearing out many tears in the skin and flesh. Hot blood poured out from the rupture, down his spine in a red trail, and finally dripped on the waistband of his pants.

With the exception of a few more severe wounds, bumps of various sizes appeared in other parts, ranging from purple to dark red to black. That beautiful back has been destroyed by the whip and has become unrecognizable, and it is miserable.

After the whipping, Engier left the training ground and walked towards the sanctuary. Sarn and Vir rushed over and untied the unconscious Rex from the rope. The eldest lady called Rex's name and followed closely, she was very worried about his safety, and wanted to clarify his injury as soon as possible so that she could prepare for the next treatment.

Rex was taken back to his room by the two and climbed on his back on the bed. The eldest lady Serena rolled up her sleeves and immediately threw herself into the treatment. Will brought a basin of water and placed it on the table, and Serena used a clean cotton cloth to clean the blood stains around the wound.

Sahn and Vir stood beside them, looking anxious and silent, staring nervously at the eldest lady's work. Serena examined the scarred wounds carefully to make sure they were flesh wounds and not bones, and bandaged them cleanly.

"How is he?" asked Sarn, worried.

"It's not a big deal, the skin is broken and part of the muscles are not muscles, and there is no danger to life. Serena said as she washed the blood from her hands, "It's been bandaged, and as long as you have a good rest, you'll be healthy soon." ”

"Thank you, Serena. Thank you for treating him. Sarn said gratefully.

Serena smiled lightly and said in a humble tone, "You don't have to thank me, it's what I want to do." Don't forget, he's a friend who grew up with us. ”

Sarn smiled and nodded.

The eldest lady, Serena, finished bandaging Rex's wound and went back to rest. Soon after, the Night Mother sent someone to find Sahn, who also left Rex's room. Vir was left alone in his chair, quietly looking at the sleeping Rex.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through his window, shrouding the pale color of the room in a milky white glow. When Rex opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a fur bed, covered in white bandages from the waist up. The wound on his back was still aching, but he was in a good mood. After two days of rest, he regained his energy.

He looked around his room and found his brother Sahn asleep in a chair. With his head resting on the back of his chair and his face looking up at the roof, his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, he could see the neat white teeth in his mouth. The two nostrils face him like a cave. He wears a suit of dark brown leather armor with a studded belt. The iron buckle on top glows with harsh white lines in the sunlight.

His chest rose and fell slowly with his breathing, calm and regular. It can be seen that he is guarding his side all night, and Rex's heart is full of gratitude and touch.

He twisted his body and struggled a few times, and finally sat up from the bed, his movements affecting the wooden bed, which made a random "squeak" sound, waking up the sleeping Sarn.

"Yo, wake up!" Sarn's tone was full of surprise, as if he wasn't sure Rex would wake up.

"Ahh

Sahn shrugged, "It's your welfare and it should be taken care of." I am worried about you, my dear brother, that your body has suffered damage and that it must be kept safe. With that, he got up from his chair and walked over to Rex's bed, "Welcome back, brother!"

He put Rex in his arms and touched his forehead. "I'm sorry for what happened to you in Thorn City!"

Rex also put his arm around Sahn's shoulders and said emotionally, "I'm so happy to be back alive with you." If you really want to be beheaded, I will regret that I will not be able to see you again. ”

"It's okay, it's all over, as long as you're safe, I'm satisfied. I'm sorry I couldn't help you keep that title, I know what that title means to me. With that, Sarn patted Rex on the shoulder and stood up.

Rex smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing to lose, I can start all over again!"

"Oh, no, no, no, you know what your biggest flaw is?" asked Sarn.

He shook his head.

"Obedient!" replied Sarn briefly. "A submissive person, like a weak child, is unable to make decisions, and is prone to losing things or being wronged. That's what you are, so you lose your title. ”

"I accept the facts. Removing it, I feel more relaxed. ”

Sarn sneered, "This is not your true feelings, I know you best, you are lying to yourself." That title you almost bought back with your life, and I know how important it is to you. ”

Rex closed his eyes, ached in his heart, and then said silently, "I accept the result of fate's arrangement, the elite title cannot be owned by me, but it can help others." Well... Who, then, enjoys this glory?"

"Will and Artis, the two people you once saved. ”

Rex laughed in surprise, "It's them!"

"Yes!"

"That's great. I'm glad they got it. Rex was overjoyed, "I knew they could, and from the first time I saw the two, I knew they had this potential." ”

"In terms of the speed at which the novices are growing, their performance is really amazing and excellent! It can be described as rare, and the title is well deserved to be given to them. ”

"Hopefully they can shoulder the glory. ”

"I hope so. ”

"Sarn, why didn't you see Cicero?" asked Rex.

Sarn was suddenly stunned, and the smile on his face stiffened and solidified, as if condensed. He seemed intent on avoiding Rex's pursuing gaze, turned his face to the window, and stood sideways.

"What's going on? Please tell me. Rex asked.

"He... ," Sarn said hesitantly, "he was imprisoned in Atayum by the Night Mother. ”

"Captivity?Atayum Tomb?" Rex was taken aback.

"Yes. ”

From the time he entered the temple to the time he met the Night Mother, he did not see Cicero. In the absence of him at such an important gathering, Rex sniffed out strange information. This is not often the case in fraternities. Now, Rex was shocked to hear that he was in captivity.

"What happened, the Night Mother was going to imprison him?"

Sarn turned his face back, his expression serious, unsmiling. There was a stern glint in his eyes, as if what he wanted to say was a kind of Holy Spirit mission, and he had to be respectful and not slack off. He looked at Rex and said, "Cicero attempted to steal the Ring of the Helle Star and was caught red-handed by the Night Mother. That ring is known to be the supreme treasure of the Brotherhood and symbolizes the supreme dominion. He seems intent on seizing the leadership of the Brotherhood, I suppose. ”

Rex's mouth was wide open for a long time, he didn't believe that Cicero would make such a stupid move, it was self-defeating. Moreover, what was the purpose of stealing the Ring of the Hel, he had said that he was the guardian of the Night Mother, and his duty was to protect the Night Mother's life. In the same way, if the Night Mother has the ring, he has an obligation to protect the safety of the Haier Star Ring.

Rex pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find a reason for Cicero to seize power. Ask Sarn, "He... Why do you do that?"

"I don't know what the real purpose is. "I suspect that there is a dark history hidden between them, and this history is unknown. In the Brotherhood, only a few know the truth, but alas, each of them is tight-lipped about it. For us, it's a mystery!"

"Please tell me how the Night Mother found out that he wanted to steal the ring?" Rex asked slowly, looking out the window, in a soft tone.

"One night, after everyone in the sanctuary had fallen asleep, Cicero crept into the room of the Night Mother," said Sarn, who walked back to his chair by the window, and sat down, leaning back in his chair in a comfortable manner. "The Night Mother slept deeply, unaware of the invasion. Like a professional thief, Cicero quietly came to the night mother's bed, and he knelt on the ground and carefully opened the bedside table. In the third compartment, he found the ring accurately. The process of stealing is skillful, like a real thief, breaking the trap set by the Night Mother. “

"Did he succeed?" Ex exclaimed.

Sarn smiled, his smile mixed with inexplicable ridicule, "Almost, Cicero finally obtained the Ring of the Haile Star with his exquisite technique. Mr. Thief was overjoyed and began to be presumptuous. The short-lived success carried away his mind and led him to make a fatal mistake, and he completely ignored his situation. As soon as he turned around, he knocked over the wine bottle that was lying on the table. The sound of glass shattering woke the Night Mother, and she opened her eyes to see the thief. Before Cicero could escape, he was bound by the magic of the Night Mother. ”

"Did he catch it?" asked Rex eagerly.

"That's right, he was caught by the Night Mother. His actions brought the Brotherhood to shame, and the Mother of the Nights imprisoned the criminal Cicero in the tomb of Atayum. Let him fend for himself!"

"Oh!" Rex sighed, deep in thought.
