Chapter 100
Some time ago, inside the manor in Maple Leaf Village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a fake smile on his face, Crick made a "forced composure" appearance and circled with the suitors.
The suitors were noisy and shouting, and most of them wanted Miss Anna to come out and meet everyone, and there was no politeness between the words. In their opinion, Crick Keane is already a dead tiger, and there is nothing to fear. Keane has also become everyone's meal, one by one, with knives and forks in hand, just waiting for this gluttonous feast.
Crick tried to suppress the anger in his heart so that he would not sneer, and tried to play Tai Chi with them. He couldn't prevaricate, so he coughed violently until the blood came out.
Of course, those people will not be polite to him because he coughs up blood, but when he coughs like this, he can't speak, and no one can take him seriously.
In the midst of this chaos, Connor, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally spoke.
"I know you're going to die, but before you die, you have to do your business first!"
With a casual push, he pushed several nearby suitors or their entourage to the side, stumbling and unsteady, and one of the thinner bodies fell straight out, knocking down a table next to him, and falling heavily to the ground.
"Huh?!"
"Jack, Jack, how are you?"
"You can't see the road!"
"It's so unbelievable!"
"Be quiet! He's Connor the Beast!"
"Huh?!, is that the wolf?"
There was an uproar for a moment, but Connor didn't care, swaggering towards Crick.
If there were some honest and brave people present, then they might have stepped forward to speak up, but at the moment there are some people gathered here with relatively poor character, even if they are slightly better, they are not much better. Most of them recognized Connor's identity and were unwilling to clash with this famous villain, and the few who did not recognize Connor's identity could also see the strength he showed, and would never speak for the unlucky bastard.
In fact...... At the moment, many people are still secretly gloating.
Connor walked up to Crick, and the people along the way gave way and separated from each other, and the scene was terrifying.
The tall man with werewolf blood looked down at Crick in a wheelchair, his eyes full of contempt and disdain, and his body was even more coercive.
"Don't play dead, call your sister out and give it to me, and then you can die however you want." He said coldly.
Crick didn't answer, didn't even look at him, and calmly looked at the crowd at the party.
In the eyes of these people, he could not see kindness and friendship, nor the care and care for Anna, nor even the slightest respect for the Keane family.
On the contrary, he saw greed, he saw malice, he saw contempt, he saw impatience, he saw all kinds of ugly desires.
(Maybe there are people here who don't die for their crimes, but at least for me, they ...... All of them should be killed!)
Thinking so, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Is that what you mean, or what everyone in the room mean?" he asked, still not looking at Connor, but at the crowd.
Connor frowned, feeling that he was being underestimated by the dying sick man, and couldn't help but grab Crick to pull him out of his wheelchair and give him a good look.
Just then, Duruk spoke.
"Connor Griffin, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
Connor immediately let go of his hand, and Huo Ran turned around and looked at Duruc viciously.
"Fat pig, who will allow you to talk to me in such a tone!"
With a nonchalant smile on his face, Duruk did not take Connor's anger lightly or get angry at the insulting name. He was still standing still, not even interested in taking a step forward.
His eyes were full of contempt and disdain, as if Connor Griffin, who was now in a rage, was not a famous master, not a "griffon's beast", but just a puppy barking at him by the side of the road.
This contempt made Connor particularly annoyed, and he strode towards Duruk, roaring as he went, "I'm going to twist your fat head off!"
Before he could finish speaking, Duruk raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Several of his attendants took out heavy crossbows that were half a man tall at the same time, each of which was already full of arrows, and the tips of the arrows were also quenched with poison that could be used to hunt huge demonic beasts such as earth dragons.
Without even the slightest hesitation, they pulled the crossbow machine at Connor.
The sound of the wind was rapid, and before the wind could sound, the galloping crossbow bolts had already crossed the not too far distance between each other and shot in front of Connor.
Connor never expected Duruk to do it directly, and as soon as he did it, it was a killer move. Caught off guard, there was no time to dodge, so he could only try his best to raise his fighting spirit, trying to block the crossbow arrows with his fighting energy, while trying to jump into the air, wanting to jump through the air, rush to Duruk's side, and launch the most violent counterattack.
However, everything was in vain.
Truck's subordinates are all good at using heavy crossbows, and each of them has the ability to participate in shooting competitions and win prizes. In such a sudden surprise attack at close range, Duruk was unprepared in advance, where was the possibility of missing? I could only hear a muffled sound, Connor had already received more than a dozen crossbow arrows on his body, and the poison had penetrated into his internal organs in an instant, and his body, which had been roaring and jumping, lost its vitality in the air, and fell down in front of Duruk.
It was only then that Connor's men reacted, screaming in panic as they hurried over to protect their master.
But, late.
Duruk's men threw down their heavy crossbows as soon as they struck a blow, and then drew their weapons and headed for Connor's men. Duruk, on the other hand, walked up to Connor slowly, stepped on his head, which was already powerless to resist, and pulled out a sharp short knife from his boot.
He didn't mean to waste time at all, and cut it directly, and the magic short knife with a high level of sharpness was amazingly sharp, easily slicing half of Connor's neck, and the already blackened blood spurted out and splashed all over the ground.
At this moment, the people around him had already fled, but they did not splash on their bodies, otherwise, just being splashed with this poisonous blood would have been highly poisoned and their lives would not be long.
After Duruk's first knife fell, he did not stop, and then followed by a second and a third slash...... In just a few moments, Connor's head was separated from his body, and he couldn't die anymore.
This fierce and tyrannical guy for decades probably never dreamed that he would die like this, like killing a chicken and slaughtering a sheep, and his head was cut off so easily.
Connor's men were terrified, but not even one of them dared to escape, but attacked even more frantically, trying to break through the resistance of Duruk's men and kill Duruk.
The Grand Duke of Griffin was extremely strict, and almost exclusively used military law. These people were poorly protected, and Connor died in front of them, having committed irreparable capital crimes. At this moment, unless they can kill Duruk and avenge Connor, otherwise, they will only die here in battle to avoid affecting their families.
At this point, they have no choice.
For a while, the scene was extremely tragic, and the suitors and their entourages were shocked, but they did not dare to leave, so they could only hide in the corner of the hall as much as possible, away from the battlefield, or retreat to the side of the gate, wanting to escape immediately when the situation was not right.
A peaceful smile appeared on Duruk's somewhat obsessive face, and he didn't take the matter of killing the prince of the Duchy of Griffon to heart at all, and walked towards Creek with a smile.
"Hello, Your Excellency Baron Keane. He bowed slightly, and greeted, "I'm sorry to let that uncultured bastard bother you." β
Crick smiled and nodded in return.
"No, I have to thank you. "As you can see, I'm now completely incapacitated." You were able to kill him for me, and I want to thank you for that. β
Duruk's fat little eyes narrowed, and he didn't expect Crick's reaction, but he immediately continued to laugh, and said, "So, Lord Crick, do you think I'm fit to be Miss Anna's husband?"
Crick didn't answer, looking at him with a smile.
"I'll admit that I'm a little uglier, but it's just because I'm too fat. Duruk said with a smile, "The culture of our Dhaka Business Alliance is to be proud of being fat, and fat represents wealth, after all, only rich people can eat fat." I've been living there for a long time, that's why I've grown so fat. But you can rest assured that if you give me a few months, combined with the power of magic, I can lose weight quickly. When the time comes, I'll be pretty handsome. β
Crick smiled and nodded, "I completely believe this. β
"So you see, physiognomy is not a problem. As for my strength, you must have seen that others can't compare to me at all. Duruc said confidently, "If I marry Miss Anna, not to mention the nobles around me, even if it is the Grand Duke of Thunder, I don't want to stretch my hand to Keane!"
Crick smiled again and did not answer.
"As for the relationship, I admit that I really don't have much affection for Miss Anna. But for people at our level, is affection important? Marriage is for the benefit of each other, and you are not the kind of naΓ―ve teenager who believes in feelings, are you?"
Crick nodded again and said, "You have a point, but we can't just exclude others from it. Well, how about I call Anna out and we meet first?"
Of course, Duruk would not object, so Crick asked his wife to leave, and took the servants to help Anna, who was waiting in the back room, change her clothes, and then dress up one last time, and then come to meet the guests.
However, Emmyway, who had always been obedient to him, disobeyed his orders this time, she waved her hand and asked the servants to do their work, still holding on to her wheelchair and not wanting to leave.
Crick frowned and looked up at her.
She smiled softly, as if Creek had just woken up and was sick in bed, and she was taking care of him.
So he understood.
Sighing secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything, patted the back of her hand lightly, and smiled at her.
"I'm sorry, my wife is a little worried about me...... That may have to trouble you to wait a little longer, and rely on the servants to do things, I'm afraid it will be a little slow. He said with a wry smile.
At the moment, there was still a lot of fighting in the hall, and the suitors had no time to care about this! Although there were a few people who were a little worried when they saw the servants leaving, they also let go of their worries when they saw that the Cricks and his wife were still here.
Then, after a while, not only did Miss Anna not appear, but the servants did not return.
"What's going on?" Crick frowned, pulled out a pocket watch with some difficulty, and looked at the time, "Why did you delay so long?"
"It always takes time for a woman to put on makeup. Duruk said with a smile that he was in a good mood now because he felt like he was winning.
"It shouldn't have taken so long, is she petty?" said Crick, shaking his head and looking at his pocket watch, looking dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, let's keep drinking bars. Duruk smiled and walked over to the table where the food was placed, poured two glasses of wine, one in each hand, returned to Crick, and handed him one of them, "It's a bit hurtful, but I guess you don't mind drinking now, right?"
Crick smiled wryly and motioned for his wife to take the glass, but he coughed violently and looked down at his pocket watch.
"How can it be so slow!" he muttered dissatisfied, "is there something wrong?"
"Do you need me to send a few men to see?" asked Duruk, "on my side...... There should be two or three more people to be drawn up. β
Crick shook his head: "Wait, anyway...... I'm just waiting for this last time......"
When Duruk heard this, he thought that he had completely surrendered and conceded defeat, and he couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly exploded, and the unimaginably violent explosion instantly engulfed the entire hall.
Whether it was Crick and Emmyway, who had been prepared, or Duruc, who was unprepared, and the other suitors and retinues, no one had time to react to the violent explosion.
In the next moment, a loud noise shook the heavens and the earth, and the violent explosion accompanied by the shock wave destroyed the entire manor, and the aftermath continued, turning most of Maple Leaf Village into ruins.
The ground shook violently, like an earthquake, and the tremors spread in all directions, and could be clearly felt even from hundreds of miles away.
At this time, the servants in the original manor and the villagers of Maple Leaf Village had already moved away from the village under the leadership of the knight Charles and the soldiers, and hid behind a forest.
Many of them were knocked to the ground, while many more were speechless as they stared at the huge flames rising from the manor.
Charles watched the flame silently, tears streaming down his face.
He was the only one who knew what was going on over there.
"If only we could be stronger...... He doesn't have to...... sir."
And hearing the explosion and feeling the vibration, Romon who was originally smiling also put away his smile and sighed deeply.
"What the hell is going on?" asked the party attendees in alarm.
"Nothing. Romon waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, "Listen to the voice, you know that we are far away." No matter what happens, it won't affect us much, so don't worry. β
In order to prevent Anna from being unable to hide her nervousness and worry, Crick did not tell her about his plans, not even Rena, who was going to accompany her to participate in the redemption.
So in the venue of the party, only Luo Meng really understood the meaning of the explosion.
At this time, next to the small portal of the Void Mask Temple, Master Damved looked back at the direction where the explosion came from for the last time, sighed deeply, and then walked into the portal without looking back, heading to the Void Mask Playground.
If nothing else, he will spend the rest of his life there.
The priest of Milomont was a little shocked, although he knew something about Crick's plan, he never expected that Crick's methods would be so strong and ferocious, it was simply shocking!
"Even if it's a life-and-death duel between two legendary powerhouses, that's it......" he couldn't help muttering to himself, "The power of Mr. Crick's last move is really beyond imagination!"
In the study of the Baron's mansion, the butler of Leiden, who sat in a dark corner, wept profusely, and his gray beard was wet with tears, but the old man, who had always paid attention to his appearance, did not care at all, and wept heedlessly.
"Young Master! Young Master Creek! Why did you go too! Master! You asked me to take care of the young masters, but I was useless, and I couldn't take care of any of the three young masters!"
Knight Howard James, who was holding Keane's main road to the outside world with his two sons and all the cavalry of the territory, turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the fire and the loud noise, his usually strong body trembled, and his hands gradually could not even hold the reins.
"Why...... It's not my useless old thing who died......"
Red, who was patrolling the city with his soldiers, stopped abruptly and turned his head to look in the direction of the explosion.
His old friend, Reverend "Fire Hammer" Morton, was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What's going on over there?"
Red was silent for a moment and sighed deeply: "A great man has passed away. β
Morton frowned, then understood what he meant, looked a little surprised, but didn't say anything, just sighed.
Standing on the lookout at the top of the castle, Intelligence Officer Raffle also looked in the direction of the explosion, and he usually poured himself a glass of wine today, and was drinking with Warden Xedell, who had also left the prison on a rare occasion.
"What's going on over there?" asked Xander.
Raffle sighed and whispered a few words to him.
Xue Del's face was suddenly full of horror, Huo Ran stood up, but he was stunned for a moment, and sat down again.
"Faith doesn't know, does he?" he asked.
"Well, there should be no more than ten people in the entire territory who know about this. Rafael whispered.
"What will happen to the territory if the adults are gone?" asked Xue Del worriedly.
β...... There's always a way!" Ravery said earnestly, "there's always a way!"
He looked at the old warden, who was over half a hundred years old, and his eyes were brighter than they had ever been in his life.
Inside the "shelter" of the Kingdom of God shrouded in soft white light, Crick and Sui Xiong met.
Of course, what he saw was Sui Xiong, who had changed into a human form, exactly like him on the earth at the beginning.
Needless to say, the exchange of souls instantly makes each other understand what they are thinking, and the souls that are originally one convey real emotions and thoughts in a way that no one can understand.
"Is my life meaningful?" Crick asked.
"Your life is equal to mine. Sui Xiong replied, "You are neither a puppet nor an experiment, but another path of 'Sui Xiong' on a different life trajectory." β
"I feel like I wasn't good enough, I could have done better. Crick said.
"No, you've done a good job, even better than me. Sui Xiong replied, "Your short life has given you great enthusiasm, and the light you have bloomed has made me ashamed of myself as a god." β
"Emmiway...... How?" Crick asked.
"I can bring her back to life if you wish. But I don't think she would like that outcome. Sui Xiong said.
β...... You're right, that's too cruel for her!" Crick sighed deeply, "Can you help me wash away her memories, change her appearance, and let her live in peace and happiness from now on?"
"Does that make sense?" Sui Xiong asked.
"It may not make sense to her, but it makes sense to me. Crick smiled wryly, "That's all I can do for her." β
"If you want, I can let you live together in my kingdom, and no one will know who you are. Sui Xiong proposed.
"No, that's not the right ending for me. Crick smiled and shook his head, "You are following the path of gods, and I am following the path of mortals, let me take this path to the end and leave you a complete document." β
"I'm sorry. β
"No need to apologize, even if you can only open up a small path in the right direction for this world, then it will be worth everything!
β...... I don't think I'm as noble as you. Sui Xiong was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, you're me. The choices I make, in similar circumstances, are the same you will make. Crick smiled, "I'm running out of time, anyway, I'll leave everything to you." β
"Your wish is my wish. Sui Xiong replied, "Don't worry, whether it's Emmyway, Anna, Keaneling, or those friends of yours, I'll take care of themβor rather, you're still the one who takes care of them, it's just a different look." β
Crick smiled, his soul gradually dissipated, turning into countless points of light, and there was the largest point of light that did not dissipate, until Sui Xiong revealed his true body, and then it fell on the forehead of the huge jellyfish, turning into countless messages.
At the end of these messages, there was a calm chuckle.
"In this life, I have no regrets!" )
