Chapter 681: Kill a little Lori halfway
Britney, who escaped from Rog and Antonio by means of invisibility, escaped from the scorpion's lair along the same path, and the roar of the scorpion echoed in the dark cave behind her, getting weaker and weaker, and drifting away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She ran and looked behind her, and finally rushed out of the dark cave. Suddenly, two tall black shadows appeared at the entrance of the cave, and Britney subconsciously stopped, trembling at the two huge minotaurs blocking the way.
"Let her come. ”
A hoarse voice came from behind the minotaur, Britney's eyes lit up, and she cautiously looked up at the two minotaurs, and saw that the one on the right looked back behind her, and the one on the left continued to look at her with a fierce gaze.
After a few moments, the two minotaurs sideways out of the way, rudely pushed Britney, who staggered at it, glanced at it in horror, and walked past them with their fierce gaze with their heads down, only to see a man in a black robe and a black cloak standing in a clearing not far away.
"Come, my child, come to me. Holding a black-skinned magic book in his left hand, the black cloak raised his black-gloved right hand and beckoned to Britney, as if calling for his daughter.
Britney settled down in front of the black cloak, and stopped uneasily, playing with her fingers with both hands, and lowered her head to look at the other person's face, in fact, she had never seen the face hidden under the hood of the black cloak, the mysterious Shadow Fortress Lord standing in front of her, had never revealed his true face to her.
"Have you completed your mission?" William, the king of the Dark Wizards, seemed to be a teacher asking his students if they had completed their homework, and the love and tenderness in his tone made the regret lingering in Britney's heart and the fear of facing William disappear in one fell swoop.
"They're all in, just as you commanded. Britney plucked up the courage to raise her head and look directly into the shadows under William's black cloak, and said loudly: "Except for the priesthood of the high priesthood, the knights have been separated from the priesthood when I saw them, so ......"
"It doesn't have to be explained. William waved his hand to her lightly, and turned to walk in the direction of the jungle away from the mouth of the cave, and Britney hurried after him, hearing him confidently say, "I have not counted the priesthood in the first place, and I have other arrangements for the high priest and his priesthood." ”
Britney said yes softly, lowered her head and fell silent, William didn't look at her, silently walked side by side with her, and after a moment he suddenly spoke: "You seem to be very contradictory, the lone wolf has instilled a new lie in you, and you have wavered about what you have done?"
Britney looked up at him in some panic, and suddenly remembered that it was the Dark Wizard King of the Shadow Fortress standing beside her, and William's thoughts were like searching for something, so she nodded and said, "You're right, is what he said to me true?"
"It depends on whether you would rather believe in me or in him, my child. William stopped, turned to meet Britney's inquiring gaze, and said, "The lone wolf must cover up his crimes, so he won't admit any charges, and perhaps he also told you how ambiguous he was with the two princesses of the vampires?"
Britney couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard William's words, shook her head dumbfounded, and stammered, "He, isn't he a vampire hunter?
"This is the real lone wolf, there are too many dark sides hidden behind him that the world dare not imagine, don't believe his words, my child, you have to trust your own judgment, don't be deceived by his tongue, and firmly believe that you are right, understand?" said William.
Britney nodded repeatedly, trying to forget Rogge's explanation for Murphy's death, and firmly believing that she was avenging Murphy, and after stabilizing her mind, she said to William, "So, now that they have been led into the cave by me, do you think they will really all die in it?"
"No," William let out a burst of old man laughter when he heard the child ask a silly question, he turned back to Britney and shook his head, "It's not for me to decide, the scorpions may be strong enough, but they have defeated more powerful monsters, such as Leviathan, such as Beamon, such as Hydra, it is all beyond my expectations." ”
"But you promised me that you would help me avenge Bruce!" Britney clenched her fists anxiously and shouted, "This is what we said in advance, they will die at the hands of the scorpion, why are you going back on your word now?"
William stopped and turned to look at Britney's impatient appearance, and smiled unhurriedly: "I didn't go back on my word, young man, don't be too anxious, I just said that the lion scorpion may not be able to kill them all, but I promise you that none of them will go back alive." ”
Hearing William's words, Britney gradually calmed down, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved when she thought that Murphy's great revenge could finally be avenged, but then she couldn't help but think of the others, the amiable knight leader, the little flower spirit Monica who had healed her wounds, and Tali's gentle smile.
Thinking of this, Britney's heart became messy again, it was only Rogge and Catherine who wanted revenge, and now she had drawn so many good people into the vortex of revenge, which made her fall into guilt again.
Contradicting again and again, she couldn't help but tentatively say to William: "Mr. William, I think, maybe don't kill them all, only the dog man and woman who killed Bruce, they are innocent of death, but the others ......"
"My child," William's right hand pointed at Britney, and his mouth was instantly gagged, only to see William lean close to her and said meaningfully, "This is not buying candy at a candy store, our agreement is that you do what I tell you to do, not you decide what I should do." ”
Britney nodded timidly, and William then waved his hand lightly to unseal Britney's mouth, and Britney followed him for a while with a conflicted feeling, forcing herself not to think about what might happen to those who were good to her, and diverting all her attention to her and William's agreement.
"Mr. William, I've done as you told me, about the Eye of the Revenant......" she asked cautiously, after a moment's deliberation.
William was silent and continued to walk forward, Britney was uneasy when she saw this, and hurried two steps to ask again, William still did not answer, and the two walked into a woodland full of stone monuments one after the other, and large and small stone tablets carved with magic runes stood in the woods, looking old and weird.
Britney looked around at the stone monuments of different sizes on both sides, guessing what it was, when William suddenly stopped and said, "We've arrived." ”
Britney looked up and saw a tall stone monument standing in front of them, the relief carving on the surface of the stone tablet drawing an eye that radiated ghostly energy.
I saw William raise his right hand and draw a purple six-pointed star array in the air, wave it towards the stone tablet, the magic circle unfolded in front of the eye relief on the stone tablet, and a pendant carved with white bones floated out of the magic circle.
William beckoned the pendant to his face, reached out and grabbed it, and then turned back to Britney and said, "This is the eye of the revenant you're looking for." ”
Britney looked at the necromancy weapon handed over by William in surprise, it was actually a silver crystal wrapped in a white bone shell carved with magic runes, the round white bone shell completely sealed it, and there was a gap on the front, which could be opened and closed like a human eye, but it could not be opened by hand.
Britney happily reached out to take the Eye of the Revenant, and looked it up and down with love, and after making sure that it was the magic weapon she had seen in the picture in the book, she thanked William gratefully, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.
At this moment, William's voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait a minute, kid, are you just leaving?"
Britney couldn't help but look back in surprise when she heard his words, and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything else?"
"Your mission doesn't seem to be accomplished. William looked at Britney with a smile in his tone, Britney looked at him blankly, pondered for a moment and still asked confusedly, "What other mission? Didn't I already lead them all to the cave as you asked?"
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. William shook his head slowly and said, "I'm talking about your mission as the key. ”
"Key?" Britney repeated in surprise, and before she could figure out what William meant, she suddenly felt an invisible energy choke her throat, and she struggled to shout in panic, but she couldn't shout at all.
"Don't be afraid, soon you won't feel anything anymore," William said with a gloomy smile as he looked up at Britney, who had been lifted into the air with her feet off the ground, "You are my key to unlocking the Eye of the Revenant, and with you I can trick the spell of the Eye of the Revenant from her through the soul sympathy with Jochianna, and the undead of the Land of the Damned will be loyal to me." ”
"No, no......" Britney cried inwardly, but her mouth could not make a sound, she could feel that William was eroding her mind and consciousness, imprisoning her soul at the bottom of her mind, and her body becoming a puppet shell beyond her control, reduced to William's disguise for deception.
A panicked Britney tried to get rid of William's grasp with the last of her strength, but the disparity between her and William's strength was too great, like a child who couldn't walk being lifted in the air by an adult, unable to struggle.
Just when Britney's last trace of consciousness was about to dissipate, the silver sword of the Guilty Judge on her back suddenly unsheathed and slashed at William, William did not expect such an accident, and could only retreat back in a hurry without defense, and Britney, who lost control, suddenly fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" William angrily avoided the silver sword that came from the roar, only to see the silver sword spinning and flying past him and flying behind him, William looked back sharply, only to see a little Lori with a black and purple doll head, wearing a black feather skirt and red dancing shoes, standing not far away, taking the silver sword in his hand.
