Chapter 19: Strange People
"Do you think it's possible for me to tell you?" Rout dripped, and there was a hint of contempt in his gaze as he looked at Curry.
"You can make conditions, but you can't fail to answer. Curry's expression did not change at all, and he looked down at Lut calmly: "Even if this condition is to let you live, it's okay." ”
"You're such a strange person. ”
"A lot of people have said that, and it's interesting to me that they don't seem to be normal either. ”
Rout closed his eyes, lowered his head and coughed, red blood dripping on the roof of the carriage, and exhaled deeply.
"I accept your terms. Raising his head, Rout looked sharply at Curry shrouded in shadows, and said in a low voice: "I don't need you to let me go, that's an insult to the killer." I just want to know, how many days have you spent in that reincarnation dream?"
"Fantasy and reality, fleeting and eternal, a dream in a hundred years, that is indeed a very interesting thing. The smile on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth widened slightly: "I realized that something was wrong after half a month in that dream, and then I managed to get out." ”
"That is, you came out almost as soon as you entered the dream?" "Root's face was extremely dark, and he couldn't believe it was true: "It's impossible to ...... at all"
"For me, nothing is impossible. Curry walked past Root, stood behind him, looked at the cold moon in the night sky, and suddenly fell silent.
"Huh?" Root, who suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head with great difficulty, looked at the black figure behind him, and frowned. For some reason, at this moment, Ke Rui was obviously behind him, but he couldn't feel him, and if he didn't look at it with his eyes, he couldn't notice that there was another person behind him.
"I've had similar experiences before, so it's easier to deal with. Well, I've met your criteria, now, tell me what I want to know. ”
......
If we say that in this world, there is a kind of person who really looks down on life and death, is accustomed to seeing parting, sees through the hearts of all people, including himself, is accustomed to being able to enjoy the cold loneliness under the moon, treats everything as a mere passing scenery, and regards the ethereal and unknowable fate as a sad and lamentable joke...... That kind of person, in Curry's opinion, must be a traveling merchant.
Why? Because he himself is a living example, he is such a traveling merchant.
......
"Hey, what are you thinking, it's so distracted, it's rare to see that you don't even read a book. ”
The familiar noise came from his ears, causing Curry to open his long, closed eyes, and the blazing midday sun made him feel a little excited. Perhaps for necromancers, daylight is not the right time to move.
"What, give up the investigation?" Slanted at Sith who was riding a horse and walking on the edge of the old dragon, the smile on the corner of Curry's mouth was slightly obvious.
Now, three days have passed since that unusual night, and the convoy has long since returned to its journey. As for what happened at that time, Curry, like everyone else, claimed to have been sleeping soundly all night, and behaved very naturally. And Sith is keenly aware that things are not simple, and the reason why the three of Lut were killed by the mysterious master must have a lot to do with his inexplicable lethargy, and he decided to find out what happened.
The result, obviously.
"Don't mention it, I don't have a clue. The people who killed Rut and them did not leave any traces, the corpses were disposed of cleanly, and the killing methods were neat and crisp, which is not something that the people of our convoy can do. Therefore, I can only believe that some mysterious strong man passed by and killed them. Ciss's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said strangely: "It's just that I don't understand, why?"
"There's always a reason. Curry smiled, looked at Sith, his eyes flickered, and suddenly asked, "I remember when you first invited me to join the team, you said that there was a strange person in the team, right?"
"Yes. Sith nodded, then reacted, and looked at Curry in surprise: "What, suddenly interested again?"
"It's just boring. Curry shook his head, "Tell me, who is it that makes our Captain Sith feel weird?"
"It's our mission guy, the guy named Karis. Sith looked at the carriage where Karis was, her eyes flickering.
"What's wrong with him?"
"You don't know his origins yet, do you?" Ciss turned to look at Curry, "I'll tell you, and you'll understand." ”
......
Although the land of the human race is located on the mainland, it is the birthplace of the largest mountain range in the mainland, the "St. Gurus Mountains", and there are many mountains, rivers and valleys in the territory, and there are many inaccessible primitive areas.
At this time, in a small mountain courtyard somewhere remote among the Terrans, a person walked in.
Dressed in a dark blue robe and with long black hair, this man was in his thirties, and although he looked wild, he always had a gentle smile, which was a rare fusion of the roughness of the mountain village and the demeanor of a gentleman.
Walking to the courtyard, the black-haired man bowed his hand to the hut and said, "Emperor, Tarbert, the first king of the Thousand Machines Battalion and the Five Kings of the Thousand Machines Battalion, has something to report. ”
"The master has something to say, there is no need for so many restraints between you and me. A gentle voice came from inside the hut, making it feel as comfortable as a spring breeze. However, the black-haired man still maintained his original posture, and his salute did not change:
"Everything is as the old man expected, the giant whale king Lansar returned to the headquarters of the Abyss Mercenary Group three days ago, and the elf princess Elena has also crossed the western border to infiltrate the human race, her destination should be Tagus City, if nothing else, she can reach it soon. ”
"Where's the ghost. ”
"The action has started and everything is going according to plan. ”
"The old man said, I'm afraid there will be variables in the actions of the No. 1 Council, except for the demon ghost, the remaining four kings of the Thousand Machine Camp must all arrive, you go back immediately, summon the purple demon and the ghost tarantula, as for Ye Linglong, I will personally inform her. ”
"Yes, I'll go right away. The black-haired man's voice still echoed in the courtyard, but his figure had long since disappeared.
In the quaint hut, the elegant young man sat cross-legged in the center, and when Tarbert was gone, he slowly opened his eyes. Unlike ordinary people, his eyes, one is golden, the other is purple, one gold and one purple, and both eyes are glowing with faint fluorescence, which looks beautiful and demonic.
"The gears of fate have turned, everything is finally on the right track, the end of the darkness is about to be revealed, and the era of the divine machine is coming......"
......
"I see, but what's strange about this, this kind of thing should be common in big families. ”
"Listen to me, this is just the beginning. ”
Sith and Curry hung at the back of the line, and seeing that no one was paying attention in front of them, Sith continued to speak quietly and mysteriously.
"As soon as I entered the town called Totnes, I heard something. The old butler Tobermori, who had raised Karis for thirteen years and could be said to be like his adoptive father, suddenly died inexplicably the day before, and the cause of death could not be found, a bit like a natural death, but Tobermori was a fourth-level warrior, and he was only 100 years old this year, far from the time when the deadline came, so his death became a strange case. ”
"Something to do with Karis?" Curry raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know. Sith rolled her eyes, then narrowed her eyelids: "However, although Karis should have nothing to do with this matter, he behaved very strangely. ”
"Strange?"
"Yes. Ciss looked at Curry and asked, "What would happen to you if someone closest to you suddenly died?"
“...... Of course it's going to be sad. Curry was silent for a moment, and then said as a matter of course.
"Yes, that's the reaction of a normal person, but ......," Ciss glanced at Curry, "Karis is acting too normal." ”
“......”
