The demon seemed to have learned to be polite, so he agreed with Jack and released them back to his manor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jack took his two sisters and walked to the gate of the manor.

The guards hurriedly opened the door and lit the lights, the frantic footsteps and chaotic shouts of the servants breaking the silence of the night.

Although extremely noisy, the large house seemed huge and deserted to Jack and his two younger sisters.

Jack refused to be cared for by the servants and returned to their room with his two younger sisters.

The two younger sisters have been crying, although they are young, they also know about death, it is better to say, it is because they are children, so they understand the coldness of death better: blood, the gradually pale corpse, and the breath before death, have left a deep imprint in the depths of their souls.

These horrific images made them tug at Jack's clothes, choking on and off, crying until their hoarse voices called for [brother], but they couldn't say anything. Later, although they were exhausted and sleepy, they still held Jack tightly, their petite bodies curled up like kittens, trembling in an inescapable nightmare.

Jack knelt beside the bedside of his two sisters, from the time his sisters cried until they fell asleep, he always had a comforting smile on his face like "It's okay" and "There will be no more danger".

But his heart was in great pain, sorrow, and fear.

The demon agreed to his request, promising not to hurt anyone in Ember City again, as long as Jack opened the gates of Reflection City for them.

Isn't that bad? Of course not. He didn't know anything else, but Jack was sure that when the demon returned from Reflection City, it would be the day he and his two sisters died—if Jack had been ignored for his weakness before, the demon would never be so generous with them now.

Jack is well aware that the demons want to torture his heart, and they want to make him fall.

Kneeling on the cold ground, Jack forced himself to think in this confessional posture.

He knelt all night.

When the morning sun rises from afar, the light dispels the morning mist.

Jack burst out laughing.

"Haha......"

At first, his laughter was dry, but by the time the sun shone over the windowsill and on him, his laughter was smooth and full of joy.

He grinned widely, laughing like a fool.

But his eyes reflected the sun again, and he wore a veil of gold on his body, and a holy crown on his head.

He was not a believer, but he was like a saint-faced.

At that moment, Jack felt that his heart had received some divine benefit, an realization that had nothing to do with God or faith:

Tears are a good thing, he can wash away the pain and sadness in his heart, but there is still a great sadness in life that tears can't wash away, and there is unforgettable pain that makes you want to cry but can't cry......

So, go laugh!

Be a truly strong person and inherit the will of the Night's Watch!

The more you want to cry, the more you have to laugh out loud, with pain and sorrow, yes, even then take them laughing and moving forward.

So...... Is that the only way?

――――

Two days went by in a flash.

When the Sith meets Jack again in the sewers, he notices the changes that have taken place in the weak One Ring Mage, and as a veteran madman and human observer, he perceives Jack's new mental outlook.

The young Earl was still dressed in his shabby mage robes, and wore his mage hat crookedly, but he had a hearty smile on his face that seemed to contain all sorrow, and strong enough to face all difficulties, which made the Sith feel bad.

This wasn't the state of mind the Sith wanted, and in his plan, gradual death and a dark future should keep Jack breaking down, and finally, shattering all his hopes in front of him, killing his two sisters, and throwing him into the arms of darkness like his uncle.

However, now...... Of course it's not over......

The Sith smiled sinisterly in the shadows of the black robes.

The black-robed man whispered to another demon beside him, then stepped forward and greeted Jack cordially: "Good evening, Mr. Scarlett, we are glad that you have arrived on time. Although, many of our partners don't know you, and of course you don't know us, getting to know each other always starts with introducing yourself. I'm the Sith. ”

Standing beside the Sith was a demon in a white suit with a gentleman's head, who politely took off his hat and bowed slightly, "I'm Crowne. ”

"Oh~" Jack replied lightly, the corners of his mouth were still smiling very sunny, "Hello!"

The black-robed man pretended to nod, then turned his head to look at the demons standing around, and said, "It seems that the next partner doesn't want to know you very much, well, that's okay, just let your acquaintances come and greet you......"

"Vader? I'm sorry, I don't want to see him. Jack refused without hesitation.

Sith patted Jack on the shoulder and smiled:

"Hee-hee-hee, no, it's not him, it's another acquaintance of yours, tsk, your best friend when you were a child? He's here too~"

Two demons approached Jack with a man in a straitjacket, a man wearing an eyepatch and a mask, struggling frantically, letting out a manic growl, his brown hair swaying as he struggled.

The demon took off the man's blindfold and mask.

Jack recognized the face, it was Mikal.

He had long since lost the silence, seriousness, and faint melancholy of his past, and he had lost the foolish disguise, his eyes were red, he was tearing at the air like a beast, screaming, shaking his saliva, and he was obviously extremely insane.

This scene made Jack frown for a moment, but the next moment, he chuckled again, and said jokingly, "What did you do to him? Didn't you say that you wouldn't hurt anyone?"

"We really didn't hurt him, goo-hee-hee...... It's just that he made his own choice!" the Sith shook his shoulders obscenely.

"Tell you~ He just killed all his family, this kind of scum, even if you're crazy, it's normal, isn't it?" Crawn grinned, revealing his shark-like jagged teeth.

"Hahaha, yes, of course, this kind of person should be crazy, alas, there are really too many people who have fallen into darkness in this world now. Jack laughed cooperatively.

"But at first, he thought he was killing a demon~ In the end, he realized that he had cut off his own family, and we did it, we did it, because we were going to use him as a human pillar~" Sith added.

"Hahahaha, that's also his own choice, what's the matter with us, right~ Let's just complete our deal well!

Jack was still laughing heartily, but Sith noticed his clenched fist, much to Sith's satisfaction.

"That's, we're honest businessmen, and we've always been the most trustworthy, goohe~ Come on......" Sith patted Jack on the shoulder again, and led Jack to the wall of the sewer, "It's up to you, Count Scarlett, complete your family's unfinished mission, come, help us open the Reflection City~"
