"Wait a minute, I'll say something to my grandson." The rickety old man spoke.

Claire shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and didn't care about wasting those few seconds, anyway, everyone else should have escaped from the ruins, and now it is estimated that they will not be able to chase and kill.

The rickety old man beckoned to the fourth-level wizard in the air, and said gently, "Come here, Balow, I'll explain something to you." ”

The fourth-level mage's eyes were a little complicated, he glanced at Claire, then at the rickety old man below, and finally slowly fell.

"Come here......" The rickety old man waved his hand weakly, feeling like he would die if he said a few more words.

The fourth-level mage leaned over, stretched out his hand to support the rickety old man, bent down and attached his ear to the rickety old man's mouth, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Grandpa, say whatever you want, I will definitely help you avenge ......"

Hearing Barlow's words, an extremely complicated look flashed in the eyes of the rickety old man, but when he saw Claire who was still standing in mid-air, the last complicated look was transformed into firmness again, this guy will not let Barlow go!

Then he opened his teeth and bit Barlow's neck suddenly, the strength was not at all like the checkmate just now, the sharp teeth pierced Barlow's skin directly and pierced into the flesh, and the blood in Barlow's body began to flow backwards into the rickety old man's body.

"Grandpa?!" Barlow's expression was still incredulous, and then when he reacted, he wanted to push the rickety old man away.

But the rickety old man said, "Don't move! ”

I don't know if it's this sentence, the fourth-level mage's body suddenly froze and lost its strength, allowing the rickety old man to suck his own blood.

At this time, the rickety old man's body swelled, the originally shriveled and wrinkled skin became full, and the rickets' body became straight, as if in the process of rejuvenation.

"I'm sorry!" The rickety old man said vaguely in his mouth, saying sorry words, but the movements in his mouth did not stop at all, and the fourth-level mage's body quickly became shriveled, and the lack of blood in his body and his eyes were concave, and when he finally reached a certain limit, he could no longer see a trace of life breath in his eyes.

It was too late, and the whole process was very instantaneous, and when Claire reacted, the rickety old man had already dumped the shriveled body of his precious grandson on the ground.

"Oh!" Claire made a startled sound, he really didn't expect this to be the way things would go at first.

Then he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were a little unkind, "This can be regarded as making fun of me." ”

The rickety old man regained his vitality and gave Claire a vicious look, and then his body spewed out a blood mist to envelop her.

When Claire was ready for the other party to attack, the rickety old man actually turned his head and rushed towards the stone wall, and the whole person was like a locomotive, knocking the entire stone wall apart, and then turning into a red glow and gradually fleeing.

"Heh, I've prepared so much, just to escape?" Claire laughed out loud, blessed herself with a speed-increasing secondary spell, and pursued in the direction of the red ray.

……

After a few minutes, there was a little despair in the heart of the rickety old man, and Antonio behind him had been chasing after him, and no matter how fast he sped up, he couldn't get rid of him.

After another two or three minutes, the blood mist around the rickety old man gradually faded, and finally dissipated, and the rickety old man also returned to his previous old state, and then stopped with more than enough strength to stop, his eyes were full of despair.

"Aren't you running?" Claire asked calmly.

"Smack!" The rickety old man opened his hand and made a big zigzag and fell to the ground at once, out of breath, and even spoke very reluctantly.

Claire stretched out her palm and shook it at the old man, and then the old man felt as if his hands and feet were being grasped tightly by something, and his body was like a magnet attached to the ground, and he couldn't get up if he wanted to.

However, at this time, his heart was dead, and he had no intention of resisting, but closed his eyes and waited for the final verdict of his own.

Claire gently landed beside the rickety old man, half-squatted down, and said softly: "Anyway, after so long, I shouldn't be able to catch up with those people, let's talk." ”

Hearing Claire's words, the rickety old man opened his eyes, his head and eyes were attached to the ground, and he could only look at Claire with slanted eyes, "I don't want to talk to you, kill me, I'm not the kind of person who is afraid of death." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Claire laughed, "Hahahaha." ”

After laughing, he glanced at him again, and then laughed again, "Hahahaha!" ”

The rickety old man's face was flat, "Shut up for me!" What's so funny about that! ”

"Isn't it funny that you just said that you are not a person who is afraid of death?"

Old Man Rickets: "......"

"You just killed your grandson with your own hands." Claire smiled and asked, "Is it biological?" ”

The rickety old man was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes......"

"But I trained him to be a reserve energy source to escape when it was dangerous, so I have nothing to feel guilty about."

"I didn't ask you if you were guilty, why did you explain all this too much?"

Old Man Rickets: "......"

"If I said I would have spared him then, would you regret it now?" Claire asked again.

The rickety old man closed his eyes, unwilling to face Claire's eyes that could see through people's hearts, "What's the use of talking about this now, kill me quickly, I'm a selfish person, there's nothing to say." ”

"Uninteresting." Claire patted her ass and sat up, "Then meet your requirements." ”

The rickety old man also accepted his fate calmly, closed his eyes peacefully, and prepared to meet his own last moments.

"Buzz!" Claire's wind blade condensed again, but it didn't shoot out for a long time.

"I'll give you one last chance to say your last words, I'd like to hear what your last words will be compared to the others." Claire wasn't lying, he wanted to hear the last thoughts of the man who behaved so repeatedly before he died.

The rickety old man opened his eyes again, looked at Claire, and asked after a while, "You're not going to kill me before I even open my mouth, are you?" ”

“……”

Claire argued, "I'm not the kind of person with bad tastes. ”

"Okay." Looking at the rickety old man's expression, it was obvious that he was stuck in memory, "Barlow has been a very well-behaved child since he was a child, and he also has a strong talent in wizarding......"

"When he was born, my life was coming to an end, so I raised him as my successor, and he learned witchcraft quickly and seriously, much better than when I was younger. I really raised him as a successor in the first place......"

Claire didn't say anything, knowing that the other party would definitely say it herself.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the rickety old man spoke again: "Later, my life gradually came to an end, and I realized that my fear of death was actually not so calm, I was afraid of death, I was really afraid of death, I was afraid of the world after my death...... So I set my sights on Barlow. ”

"At that time, he was already a fourth-level wizard, as long as he advanced to the fifth level, I would be able to transform all his vitality into me through secret arts, although there was a lot of life lost in the transformation process, but it was enough for me to live for one or two hundred years......"

"I know that with my self-control, I can't advance to the epic level of a wizard, and after living another one or two hundred years, I will still die......"

"So I jumped back and forth between these two states of mind, and every time I saw Barlow have different thoughts in my heart, I sometimes spit on my own soul, which is my own grandson, and sometimes I really want to exchange his life for my life."

"It's a pity that life can't be repeated, and if I could, then I wouldn't let Barlow become a wizard...... If he doesn't become a wizard, I can cut off my thoughts. The rickety old man said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, "He's really well-behaved, when I was about to kill him, I said "don't move", and he really didn't resist at all. ”

Claire smashed her mouth and was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Scum! ”

The rickety old man laughed heartily, "Haha, yes, kill me as a scumbag." ”

"Satisfy you."
