The sudden knock on the door left both Carl and Quintina in a daze. At this moment, it is still raining outside the house, and the sky full of dark clouds has split thunder, and Lingfeng is like a demon with teeth and claws. The heavy rain seemed to give the demon a heartbeat.

"Strange, who's going to come at such a time?" Karl got up, ready to open the door.

"Wait. Quintina grabbed Carl's hand.

"What's wrong?"

Kuntina asked, "Are there any other mountain guards on the Spirit Peak besides you?" ”

"How is that possible?" Karl shook his head, "I've been the only mountain keeper since the last one died, almost five or six years, don't you know?" ”

"Since you're the only one guarding the mountain, who is knocking on the door?" Quintina's voice grew colder.

"Who else. Karl was a little amused, "That is, the villagers at the foot of the mountain, why are you so suspicious, who else but them." ”

Quintina's eyes unconsciously glanced out the window: "In this weather, the road up the mountain is not very easy to walk." ”

In fact, it is impossible to go at all. Lingfeng's road, Kuntina walked more than once, and every time it made her feel that it was difficult to move an inch, because Lingfeng was too steep. As the highest mountain in the mainland, if you are not careful on the way to climb, you will fall into the abyss.

Not to mention the rainy days, the steep mountain roads combined with the muddy ground, which is not much different from a dead end. Even Carl, who had lived on Lingfeng for nearly ten years, did not dare to leave the house easily on rainy days.

"I don't know why, but it's supposed to be them. "There have been times before, when they would come up to me in the mountains and ask me to help with something." However, it is the first time that it has rained so heavily, and it may be that the child of which family has been lost, and this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. ”

Carl smiled and pushed Quintina's hand away and walked towards the door. Quintina looked at his back, but an ominous premonition surged in her heart, this feeling had been trapped in her heart for many days, since the day she came to Lingfeng. The feeling was familiar, and dark clouds weighed on me, as if disaster was coming, like a few months ago, when the Emperor of the Wind had descended on the world.

Carl opened the door, and at the same time, Quintina jumped up from the head of the bed, grabbed Carl's hand, and pulled him backwards. As it turned out that her hunch was correct, an iron sword stabbed in first, and if she hadn't pulled Carl away, the sword would have been submerged in Carl's chest.

"Quintina!" Karl exclaimed in alarm, "what's going on?"

Quintina didn't answer, she pulled Carl away, and naturally took Carl's place. The iron sword did not weaken its edge for any reason, but stabbed straight into Quintina's forearm, and for a moment it was full of blood. Quintina gritted her teeth and kicked the man with the sword outside the door.

The man obviously didn't expect that the people in the room had already taken precautions, and was kicked in the lower abdomen by Quintina, and the whole person fell backwards and fell into the rain. A large splash was made on the stagnant water, but it was overwhelmed by the rain curtain in an instant.

Quintina looked up at the man who had fallen in the rain. He wore a hat on his head and a robe, his face could not be seen clearly, and he still held the sword that had stabbed her in his hand. Behind him, there were dozens of people dressed in the same costume, standing silently in the torrential rain, like lifeless statues.

"Quintina!" Carl hugged Quintina from behind, looking anxiously at the wound on her arm, "How are you feeling?"

Quintina clenched her silver teeth and didn't speak, staring at the men in black.

"Who are they?" Karl stood in front of Quintina, "who are you, and why are you killing me?"

The men in black still didn't answer, they remained silent, as if they hadn't heard, as if they didn't disdain. But Quintina guesses where they came from, and their target is not Carl, but her. These people are not good at words, they only know how to complete the task, and anything that cannot help to complete the task is superfluous in their opinion.

What is superfluous should be wiped out.

This is the law enforcement team, once, she was a member, but now, she is clearly superfluous and should be erased. Quintina had thought about this possibility, and she had thought about it when she left the Yarman Forest with the team, but she didn't expect the law enforcement team to actually do it.

Quintina pulled Carl behind her again, looked at the man at the front of the line, and whispered, "I wonder why, Captain." ”

The captain was not silent, but slowly spit out two words: "Betrayal." ”

It was an old voice, reminiscent of a deep dry well with no water at the bottom, only cracked soil. The captain took off his hat, revealing a wrinkled face and wolf-like eyes, and he looked at Quintina indifferently as if he were looking at a corpse.

"I don't understand. ”

"You're getting too close to that guy. The captain said slowly, "You should have been loyal to the royal family from beginning to end. ”

"I have never betrayed the royal family. "He just saved my life, but I never revealed anything about the royal family to him, including the law enforcement team." ”

"I trust you, after all, you were the best. The captain put the hat on his head again and covered his face, "But unfortunately, you must die." ”

A miserable smile appeared on Quintina's face. It was precisely because she was fed up with the life of the law enforcement team that she quit the law enforcement team and hid here alone, but she was still seen as a betrayal by the law enforcement team and as a target to be executed. She took a deep breath and inhaled the cold air that had been building up for days into her lungs.

A chill entered my heart.

The next moment, she covered her neck tightly, looking at the captain who had arrived in front of her at some point, holding a bloody dagger in her backhand. The blood on the dagger was instantly washed away by the torrential rain and dissipated into the dirt, and so did Quintina who fell into the stagnant water, and the blood that spilled from her neck turned the stagnant water into a pool of blood.

Carl hadn't reacted to what was happening, one second the two were talking, and the next second Quintina had fallen.

"You're not going to win, Captain. Quintina used all her strength and snorted indistinctly, "The royal family won't win either, you all underestimate him, he's the strongest." ”

"Yes, but unfortunately, he will die. The captain turned to leave, never looking at this former proud disciple again.

"Captain, what about that guy?" asked a member of the law enforcement team, "he's from the hall." ”

The captain stopped, but didn't look back: "Hunter?"

"No, Mountain Keeper. ”

"This profession has long since declined. "Then let it go away." ”

He paused, adding, "Gone forever, like the halls of the future." ”

......

Above the Spirit Peak, the rainstorm did not mean to become smaller at all, and a thunderbolt cut through the darkness and lit up this terrifying world in an instant. After a few seconds, a low dragon groan, accompanied by a roaring thunder, slowly ended.
