Today's weather is much colder than expected.

Gray rubbed his hands together and couldn't help but think so.

"That's because you have to sit near the mouth of the air duct, so it's weird that it's not cold." A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind Gray, with a somewhat yin and yang flavor.

Gray cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Oh, alas, an old friend who has only met once in many years, that's how you treat me?" ”

Behind him, a hand pressed the back of Gray's neck, so that Gray's brain hurt a little. But in order to show his calmness, Gray held on expressionlessly.

At this time in the arena, Rand had already kicked Roland away, and Roland's good situation just now was obviously affected by Augustin's behavior just now.

Gray sighed, and said helplessly to the people around him: "I said Augustine, are you kid interesting to me?" Why do you always provoke the people around me? ”

Augustine didn't answer Gray right away, but rolled over and sat down next to Gray.

After Augustine was seated, he replied, "That kid...... Don't let me make a move on that guy. ”

"So you're trying to take advantage of me? It's a beautiful thought......" Gray turned his head to glance at Augustine, but he was a little unimpressed.

In fact, through the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to see that Gray and Augustine have known each other for a long time. It's just that no one knows the relationship between the two of them.

Gray tugged at his collar so that the cold wind wouldn't pour in, and then he said nonchalantly, "Although Rand told you not to make a move, you still did a lot of things secretly. The poison on the Rand sword and the dark array on the armor are all your hands and feet, right? ”

Augustin didn't look at Gray, but stared at the two men on the field. He said coldly, "Aren't you the same?" Don't think I don't know, you snuck something to that kid last night. I'm calling it a courtesy! After all, Rand is now my contractor, and I need to protect my contractor's safety. ”

"Really? I was just about to ask you! Gray glanced at Augustine and asked, "Why on earth did you sign a pact like that with Rand?" As far as I know, for a high-ranking demon like you, it is not the slightest benefit to make such a contract with humans. But now that I see you, you're very interested in Rand, so what's this for? Could it be that this kid Rand has something special? ”

Augustine's body was slightly stunned, obviously a little overwhelmed by what Gray had just said.

Gray continued: "I have the impression that you have only made a contract with one person before, and the content of that contract seems to be the same as this one, right? It's a pity that the result was embarrassing...... Didn't you say back then that you would never come into contact with humans again? Why ...... again this time?"

Augustine took a deep breath, and then suddenly, without warning, punched the seat next to him, causing the seat to be full of cracks in an instant!

Gray shook his head slightly, he knew that Augustine was in a mood.

Augustine had been like this all these years, and if anyone mentioned the slightest mention of the stars of the year, he would panic as he had just been.

However, Augustin still didn't speak, just began to stare at Rand on the field, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flickered.

In the middle of the night, Augustine suddenly said: "Back then...... It's that I'm too young......"

Gray was a little confused, and Augustine glanced at him, but the expression on his face had regained his composure. He spoke slowly, "What happened back then...... That's nothing but an outright hoax...... It's a pity that none of us found out...... So I couldn't save him at that time, it was my incompetence. And today, I will never allow the tragedy of that year to be repeated...... Even if my opponent this time is you......"

Augustine's eyes were now firm and pure, as if he had made some great determination.

Gray glanced at Augustine and smiled: "It's a pity that many things in this world are not up to us. Moreover, you are the demon lord, and Rand is the king. I don't think you should be unaware that your act of making a contract with him will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Holy Court, and even anger them, right? Or do you really want to do something to the country through the king? ”

What Gray said was not wrong, after all, the demon made a deal with a high-ranking person among the human race, and it was easy for the Holy Court to suspect that he had other purposes, whether he wanted to disturb the order of human society through the contractor, not to mention that Augustine was still a powerful high-ranking demon.

Augustine said disdainfully, "What does the Holy Court think about me? Why should I care about the opinions of those boring Protoss? As for your second point, I think even if I wanted to intervene, the king would be the first not to agree. Regarding the affairs of the country and the government, he covered it tightly, and he didn't want to reveal it to me at all, and many times he preferred to carry it alone. It seems that although he made a contract with me, his sense of demons is still very poor. ”

At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the arena, and the sound in the environment began to gradually become quieter.

Roland saw that there were scarlet spots everywhere on the ground, and against the background of the snow, it looked extremely shocking, was it all his own blood?

Roland felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and his consciousness gradually began to blur......

Is this going to die?

Roland was so embarrassed to see the blood stained on Rant's long golden hair.

And what about Roland himself?

I'm afraid it's not much better than Rand, it's only worse.

No way...... It must be supported...... Otherwise, this competition will be meaningless......

Thinking of this, Roland supported the last bit of consciousness and raised his hand to control the long sword that fell to the ground not far away. The blade of the sword instantly leaped into the air, stabbing the unsuspecting Rand in the chest with precision from the back!

The audience exclaimed, but Roland couldn't hear anything.

He began to feel a pain in his heart, was Catherine's spell working?

Roland saw Rand squatting on the ground with difficulty, gasping for air, and his body immediately turned red.

Roland struggled to his feet, dragging his crumbling body in front of Rand.

The emotions of the audience began to become excited, and some people have already said that they want to stop this competition. And more people threw the things in their hands at Roland.

The referee, who had been monitoring the entire match, decided to step forward to stop Roland from approaching, but Rand rudely refused. It was clear that Rand also wanted to have a complete break with Roland. Krant's physical strength is also obviously not good.

Roland walked behind Rand and pulled out the long sword! Rand's body couldn't hold it anymore and began to spit out blood.

Roland half-knelt in front of Rand and reached out to lift Rand's chin.

Roland wants Rand to look at himself, with desperate and helpless eyes!

Rand was gasping for breath at this time, and his face turned pale, without a trace of blood.

Roland reached out to wipe the blood off Rand's face, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Rand, remember the first time we met?" It was also such a snowy day......"

Rand's pupils dilated suddenly, and his expression was full of surprise, afraid that he didn't expect Roland to suddenly say such a thing.

"The first time I saw you, I thought you were the kindest and most beautiful child I have ever met...... Even now, I've always thought so......"

Rand's expression began to turn horrified, and Roland could feel the change in his mood. Somehow, Roland's mood at this time was surprisingly calm.

Roland put his hand on Rand's shoulder again and continued to whisper, "Rand, do you remember? What did we say in the dungeon where you held me? Unfortunately, everything I said at that time came true...... We've hurt each other deep enough these days. It's time to put an end to this farce......" Roland took a deep breath and began to raise the sword in his hand above his head.

Yes, it's time to make a break.

Rand closed his eyes in despair.

Roland smiled.

Roland laughed at himself as finally relieved.

With the jerky friction between the blade of the sword and the prison uniform, Roland could feel that the end of the sword pierced his heart fiercely, and a large patch of bright red on his chest was warm, melting this piece of snow.

Rand opened his eyes, looked at the long sword in his hand at a loss, and when he saw the huge hole in Roland's chest, he let go of his hand in horror!

There was a burst of cheers, and Roland knew that they were cheering for their demise, but Roland couldn't hear anything anymore.

Roland felt that his body was falling apart and could no longer support it, he felt the heavens and the earth spinning, and finally collapsed.

Snowflakes fell on Roland's face, cool.

Then, Roland sensed a hint of warmth on his face, what was going on?

Roland held on to his consciousness and opened his eyes for the last time, and then he realized that he hadn't fallen down, and Rand was barely supporting his body. Rand's tears fell on Roland's face, warm and comfortable.

Rand buried his face in Roland's shoulder, unable to stop crying.

"Why ......"

Roland smiled, he didn't understand why.

He can't do it, really.

When facing Rand, Roland couldn't make a move.

Even if Roland knew about what Rand had done to him;

Even if Roland knew that their mother and son were using him......

If time could be turned back, how Roland hoped that they met in completely different circumstances, and that there would not be so many transactions between them, just pure intentions to be friends, without any strings attached.

If......

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an if.

Only when the tens of thousands of people in this arena witnessed the king personally put an end to Roland, the culprit of all evils, would there be no other legends in this world that were unfavorable to Rand. Only when Roland is dead will no one threaten the king with him as a lever for Rand......

Now, there is no one to stand in his way.

Roland raised his hand with the last bit of strength, hugged Rand's head, and whispered the bravest words of his life: "Farewell, Rand ......"

Roland could feel his body begin to cool and harden, Rand finally couldn't support his weight, and Roland's whole body fell straight into the snow.

Roland could vaguely feel that Rand fell to the ground and could no longer stand up, and some guards rushed up to help him up; The vision began to blur again, and Roland only saw white snowflakes flying melodiously in front of him. Finally, the moment they touched Roland's skin, they stopped melting......

Rand.

This time, I was really tired.
