Ian looked at Carl lying on the clutter, and little by little he returned to his normal face. Only then did he discover that Carl was actually a very gentle-looking man, perhaps related to his unusually pale complexion, Carl had a pair of pale blue eyes, somewhat similar to the Messiah, looking like the sea and the blue sky.

If it weren't for the fact that he had personally sent [Gornis] into Carl's heart just now, Ian couldn't believe that the man in front of him was as fierce as a beast a quarter of an hour ago. It reminded Ian of Dr. Ann, and so did the man.

"You touched something you shouldn't have touched. Ian spoke slowly.

"Well, I know. Carl smiled as if relieved, "Thank you, I never had the courage to kill myself, and you helped me make a decision." ”

Ian was a little surprised, but he didn't show it: "I asked you two questions before, and I want you to answer me now." ”

"Of course, I can tell you everything I know. Karl's words made Ian's heart tremble slightly, "It's just that I can't remember what you said to me before, can you repeat it again." ”

Ian took a deep breath, and soon got the answer, and he became extremely nervous, afraid that the girl in his memory would also follow Dennis.

"First, I want to know where your power comes from, and second, I want to know the whereabouts of Nicole Constance, is she still alive?" Ian said, "Nicole is the only woman in the Spirit Peak team, and the survivors told me that you attacked her at the summit." ”

With that, Ian stared at Karl for an answer.

Karl was silent and did not speak for a long time. Ian looked at Carl, who looked at the puddle of water on the ground, so silent that a pin could be heard. After about five or six minutes, Ian felt as if five or six years had passed, and Carl finally spoke, and the first thing he said was, "I'm sorry." ”

Ian gripped the hilt of Gornes' sword, the long knife supporting his crumbling body.

"A lot of times I don't know what's going on. Carl spoke slowly, "It's like being on the peak of Lingfeng, I was unconscious when I turned into a monster, and when I regained consciousness, there was a female corpse next to me, wearing a pitch-black hunting suit. ”

Ian felt his whole body tremble, and for so many days, he had been craving answers, but he was afraid of getting answers that he didn't want. As a hunter, he should always think about the worst-case scenario, and he must tell himself in his heart that Nicole has a very low chance of surviving.

But when I hear it with my own ears, I still feel sad and want to die.

"Please, help me find her, she must still be alive, just lost. ”

Dennis's words before he left were still ringing in Ian's ears, and he remembered that he had promised Dennis that he would bring Nicole back no matter what. But now it seems that he couldn't do it, just as he couldn't have prevented Dennis from passing away in the first place.

"I've killed many, many people, I know. Karl said softly, "But those hunters are the ones I regret the most, I buried them one by one at the foot of Lingfeng, and made them simple tombstones, but I don't know their names, I hope you can engrave their names on the tombstones." ”

Ian took a deep breath and said coldly, "Is this your atonement?" ”

"There are sins that cannot be atoned, like me. "I'm a man who must die, I know that, so I'm not going to beg you for it, and I don't have long to live, you should know." ”

True, Carl didn't have long to live, because his heart had already been pierced. It's just that the strong power of the dragon's blood, which supported his consciousness, didn't let him die immediately. But even dragon's blood can't keep a person alive after losing their heart.

"How did you get dragon blood?" Ian asked, "Do you know Ann?"

"Ann?" Karl's blue eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Who's that?"

Ian's brows furrowed, "You don't know Ann, then how did the dragon blood in your body come from?" ”

Originally, Ian thought that Carl, like Sika and Barlow, would accept Ann's dragon blood transformation before he would transform into a [Dragon Squire]. He thinks that Carl should have taken the same medicine as Barlow, because before the Lingfeng incident, he lived on the peak for many years and never left, so there is no situation where he was later transformed, so there is only one possibility, Ann injected Carl with some kind of dragon's blood reagent many years ago, just like Ann did to Barlow.

But now it seems that Carl doesn't seem to know Ann, so what's going on? Ian doesn't look like Carl is lying.

"It was given to me by the Dragon King. Karl said, "Lord of Thunder, Na Ash." ”

Ian's eyelids jumped, and after a little shock, he said coldly, "Do you think I'll believe this kind of joke?" ”

"You don't believe me and I can't help it, but that's the truth. Karl said softly, "I was going to die, but a voice sounded in my head, asking me if I would give everything I had in exchange for the most powerful power." ”

Ian was about to reprimand Carl when something suddenly came to mind.

It seems that the Dragon King has always had the power of spiritual erosion, for example, three years ago, the Fire Lord Na Ember hypnotized many people and made them go to Tellmis to become their own fodder. The same is true of Nartimis, the Lord of the Seas, who has turned almost everyone on the island of Epilon into a Dragonsman.

Thinking of this, Ian began to believe Carl's words.

"You've been eroded by the embers. Ian said, "That's why you became a Dragonsman?" ”

"No, my spirit is not eroded. "I was very conscious, probably the most sober of my life." ”

Ian froze.

"I've got to get power, I've got to get the most power to kill those guys. Karl's breathing intensified slightly, "They invaded my home, killed my best friend, and tried to get out in peace? There is no possibility, so when they tried to kill me by the way, I heard Na Ash's voice, and it asked me if I would give everything in exchange for the most powerful power." ”

Carl thought of Quintina, who had fallen in a pool of blood that night, and slowly clenched his fists.

"That's why I killed all of them!" Karl suddenly went insane, "I killed all of them." I chopped up all the bodies of those guys and stuffed them into boxes, and I swore I would make them die a bad death. I did, so I have no regrets, and even if I was given another choice, I would have killed them. ”
