Ever since the arrival of the Destroyer Shinra, Sirins has lived in fear and hesitation of death. Day by day, until autumn, that person has not come, not only that, but even the demon people who take killing for fun seem to have suddenly disappeared in the human continent, and there has been no movement. Despite this, Cillins still struggled to calm his uneasiness. In the past few months, he has not been able to sleep well, not a night without waking up from a nightmare, always imagining that the man will suddenly appear and end his life, he thinks: "That person will come sooner or later, I must be ready to 'meet' him." ”

It was impossible to find his old father, Heroe, and Benon of Oz Mountain was hostile to him in every way, so that he had no clue about Silas. Just as he was sorrowful in the main hall, a soldier of the Underworld Legion under the banner of Xi Tuolie, who had been sent out to meet the demon army, returned from the demon realm in embarrassment.

He told him a shocking news: "The king of the Green Mountains, Xi Tuolie, used the ancient elf sword-casting master Yalong Songhir to create the Changtian Ghost Force, and used all his strength to cross the Demon Domain's Black Mountain Mountain Fortress, and the wide abyss made it impossible for the demon army to pass except for the Winged Demon, so for the time being, Syl Tuo Lie is safe, but General Xi Tuolie was also injured by a demon great demon who claimed to be the Wind Decisive Double Thunder, and I am afraid that it is now more than auspicious." ”

A few days later, according to another spy he sent, "Xi Tuolie's team was besieged by the demons in the Black Mountains, and all of them died in the mountains, and the corpses were all scattered all over the field, and although there was no corpse of Xi Tuolie, we also did not find half of him, he, he," the explorer replied in a slur manner, "He has probably been killed by the demons." ”

"It's good news that Sitolie has died in the Demon Domain, that scoundrel has done all the stupid things in Laocheng, and he deserves to die!" Sillins cursed, and he suddenly had a plan, "I've been sending people to look for Silas these days, but he's long gone, and it's really heaven helping me! ”

"King," said His Highness the visitor, "General Nishitolie is most likely killed in battle, but it is more likely that he is still alive." ”

"He's dead!" said Cilins viciously, "Listen, don't tell anyone he's alive, in that case you'll have to be buried for him, wrong!" Cilins paused for a moment, and smiled wickedly, "I should say that I can only bury him for him." ”

"King, king!" said the explorer, whose expression was gloomy, and took a few steps back, and Sirins patted the big wheat town lying beside him, which he tamed like a spirit animal, and quickly stood up and threw himself at the visitor, and in an instant, there was a cry of pain and a loud cheer from the hall.

"That uncivilized savage is dead!" laughed and said with a lot of planning, he decided to make the news of his death public, hoping to spread it to Sila so that he could return quickly, and then capture him and hand him over to the Dharma-destroying Shinra, so that he could be saved.

Before that, in order to hide people's eyes, he needed to find someone to replace Xi Tuolie's corpse. After a moment's thought, he quickly thought of a man, and that was Fernelle, the lord of the city of Law, who had always been faithful to himself and could meet all his needs, so he sent for Fenelle.

At dusk, Finnier went up to the temple, a man who was about the same size as Sillins but with a beard and a slight maturity, and he was a favorite of Sillins.

"Honorable king, I am afraid that I have missed the time, and I have sent someone to prepare a horse to come to the king without lunch, may I ask the king what is important?"

"Yes, my beloved, you are the only one who can reassure me now. "I remember telling you about the things that worried me every day. ”

"Yes, king, it's the damned man with ten eyes, that fellow, he's going to die sooner or later! We're searching for him everywhere! Rest assured, the soldiers are very tight-mouthed, and this won't be revealed. Fenille snapped.

"No, I don't think we can deal with that man, and now I think of a better way to catch Silas," said Silas, "but before that, I want you to find a man, a man who looks like the wild man in the mountains, to be the corpse. ”

"What, I'll pardon my stupidity, what do you mean by that?" asked Fernelle.

"Come, come," said Syllins, "let's go to my bedchamber and talk about it, and I'll tell you what happened." ”

In the middle of the night, Fernille returned to the lord's mansion in the city of Law and summoned his bodyguard, Pato.

"Patto, my most fierce guard, you are well-informed in the Ghost Spirits, and now tell me if there is anyone in this world who can be transformed into the form of others. Fennille asked.

Tall and giant-like, Pato was dressed in black armor and had a dark yellow beard that had been braided into pigtails.

"Yes, master, there are not many such people, but they do exist, and it is an anomalous evil art. Pato replied in a rough voice.

"Very well, do you know where there is such a person? The useless faint king of Cilins needs such a person. ”

"The cave of Positasi (1) is full of sorcerers, and although it belongs to the realm of Syrsas, our soldiers do not look at the desertified land at all, so those who disobey the law live there freely. "Admiral Westward," said Patto, "is there to guard the border in case these men cause trouble, and you know, he is tired of the desolation of the yellow sands." ”

"Well, Westwardon is our man, and when you see him mention me, he'll naturally let you go. "Patto, tomorrow you go there and hire two killers, and say that I have a lot of money, and one of them must be someone who can take on the form of any person, and they must also be quick to react and be able to kill people with a single blow." ”

"Yes, master. Pato nodded.

On the second day, Pato set out, and he rode a black feathered horse over a distance of thousands of miles, and two nights later he had passed through the garrison of Siwarton in the vast desert of Positas.

Lonely moon hangs high, he carries a heavy knife, leading the horse on the vast desert for a period of time, late at night, he saw a stone monument more than ten meters high in the desert eroded by the wind and sand and several stone houses in the recess of the desert more than ten meters away. He rode his horse and smashed the door open with a heavy knife and ran into the house.

"Here's business, guys, come out and entertain you, this time you've met a great master!" cried Patto on horseback.

The house was full of tattered clutter. There are three rooms in the house, one of which is the kitchen, which has a cooking stove with a large iron pot with a round bottom. Pato looked around to avoid being attacked.

"Hey, big man, you're full of hostility towards us, do you really want to trade with us?" asked a silver-bodied figure in a shrill voice behind Pato.

Pato swung his heavy knife, and the man shortened his body, exposing only his head and shoulders, and said, "You are thinking about how to cut off my head now, come, friend, relax, since you are here to do something with us, why do you want to fight with us?"

Pato put down the big knife and thought to himself, "This guy can walk through the stone wall!"

"I don't have to walk through a stone wall, as long as it's stone, I can do it. The man said.

"How does he know what's in my mind?" thought Patto.

"You're wondering how I know what's in your heart," the man said, "Big man, it's not a secret, it's another ability that I'm proud of, I'm a practitioner of the path of robbery (2). ”

"What a stunt!" said Pato as he dismounted, complimenting, "In that case, it doesn't hurt me to speak directly to you, I am the personal guard of Lord Fernelle, the lord of Laos, and I have come here to hire two killers worthy of use." ”

"Finnier is a rare rich man, well, I know what you think, if you are worthy of my ability, I will help you find such a person, my friend, who can easily be transformed into anyone, and the flame from the stick in his hand will turn anyone into small and worthless things, such as flowers, trees, fish, insects, birds and beasts. The man said, "My name is Boundary, his name is Ganas, and the two of us will be the best of all the killers to fulfill your wishes." ”

"Well, Lord Fernille will be grateful, but before that, I will test the man's abilities. Pato said.

Two days later, Patto secretly returned with the two killers, Ganas and Realm, and brought them to Sirins in the silence of the night by the hand of Fenille.

Ganas was a short, long-eared monster no more than the waist of a normal person, with a blue face, an ugly face, a flat head without a single hair, scary round eyes, and a long blue stick more than a meter above him in his withered left hand. He performed his peerless skills in front of Cilins, who thought it was brilliant and planned to go ahead as scheduled.

A few days later, the news from the mouth of Cirins that the king of Oz Mountain, Xi Tulie, had died in the Demon Domain, spread throughout Sylsa.

As the lord of the Green Mountain, the people of the Green Mountain Clan were all heartbroken when they heard the news.

In the high mountain hall, Benon's bearded uncle Tano hurriedly stepped into the hall with more than a dozen clansmen, and Prince Benon stood in front of the big seat, and before they could speak, Benon said first: " Yong King Silins announced the news of his father's death in the Demon Domain, I already knew, tell the people that there is no need to be extra sad about this, my father is wise and powerful, and he has the first sharp blade Changtian Ghost (3), I believe that few people can kill him, even if he enters the Demon Domain, it should be so, that incompetent Silins came here some time ago and said that he wanted to find his brother Silas, and now he doesn't know what he wants to do. ”

"If he had murdered my brother, I would have made Syrsa bleed!" Tano said indignantly.

"My good uncle, nephew, please calm your anger, as the eldest son of my father, everyone's grief is more than me, wait for me to visit Dongchi Simu today, if my father dies in battle, then I should see his corpse and the first blade commander Heavenly Ghost, if there are no both, Cilins will pay for his lies!"

"Then we wait for good news!" said Tano, leading the group out of the hall.

Bernon let out a long sigh, and Leo's shadow flashed before his eyes.

"Your Royal Highness, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you don't take advantage of it, you will become the stupidest person in this world and even in the whole history, hypocritical loyalty and filial piety! Let them all die!

"You haunting devil, I have already told me what secrets I never knew about my sister Daria, my father never talked to me about her origins, and everyone in our clan did not know!

"I say this for your own good, I know what you say is true, so I am leaving you, the master is calling me at all times, this is the last advice to you, whether you let it go or not has nothing to do with me. Leo finished speaking, and turned into a black gas and dissipated.

After that, Benon pondered for a long time in the temple before setting out on horseback.

At night, when Benoy returned from galloping Simu from the east with a vigorous black hunting horse in the mountains, he sat on the throne with his buttocks, knocked his forehead with one hand and sighed, his uncle Tano led everyone in, Benon stretched out his hand and said sadly: "Today I went to the east to gallop Simu, I saw my father! His body was lying in the pedestal hall of the statue of the god in the main square of the Malocigas, and his father had really died in battle, how could this be?"

"The king's corpse?" the news made everyone stunned for an instant.

"Celins said that he was going to give my father a state funeral, so I didn't bring back the Eucharist. Benon suddenly stood up from his seat and said with resentment in his eyes, "Father cannot die easily, it must be that Sirins killed his father by trick and hid that heirloom blade." ”

"Prince, my king has been killed, for the sake of the gods of Oz Mountain, send troops!" said one of the clansmen.

"No, we can't be carried away by anger, for Sirins has a hundred thousand men under his command, so we are not moths to the fire. "No matter what, his affairs have nothing to do with us, my father is anxious to defend the country, but in the end he fell for the poisonous scheme of this thief, and after we closed our doors, he wanted to beg us to do anything for him, and Sirins was incompetent, and when his rule weakened, we will revive the majesty of the once great Meronsi Empire, and reclaim what was rightfully ours." ”

"Reasonable. Tano said.

"It would be ...... if the mere mere look at my father's body proves that he is dead," Benon thought to himself.

"That's the way it is, don't think about it!" he said to him in a strong tone of heart.
