"Although it took a long time to think about it, it was a refreshing answer." Clarissa stood up and clapped.

Frost looked up at her, "So, what kind of way are you going to restore me to my former glory?" ”

“…… It's not too difficult. Clarissa replied, and she looked around the room and pulled out a fruit knife from a fruit basket.

Looking at Clarissa standing beside the bed with a knife, Frost said faintly, "If it weren't for the fact that you have been trying to persuade me to join the gang, I would probably have thought that you were trying to remove this stain on me for Pompeii." ”

"If that's the case, then it's not me who came." Holding the fruit knife on her wrist, Clarissa frowned, as if she was making a final struggle. Then she closed her eyes and swiped hard.

Warm blood spilled on Frost's dry hands, and he stared widening with all his might as he watched as the blood spilled with a fragrance more fragrant than wine, with a golden color, like a golden sprinkling. His body was completely degraded, and he propped himself up with all his strength, trying to let the blood stain as much as possible, and in the places where the blood was stained, he felt the vitality that he had not seen for a long time.

It was like an ancient tree in spring, and like whether it was Ji Tailai, the numb heart was activated, the decaying body was awakened, and the power that had not been seen for a long time flowed in his body again. The replaced dragon's blood seemed to flow in his body, transforming his decaying body from within.

After a long time, Frost slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the room that had been there for many years, but had never seen clearly. The furniture in the room was as neat as new, or unnecessary, for him, and all kinds of expensive furniture seemed to show how noble the identity of the people living in this room was.

But if that's the case, then it won't be unattended for years. Frost couldn't help but laugh, and the golden boy who lit up again was full of bitterness and mockery.

"After all, I'm just a test subject, and with my ability, I can only do this." Clarissa couldn't hide her weak voice and said, "Although there is no way to change the appearance of the old man for the time being, you should be very clear about the changes in the inside. ”

The wound on her hand healed under the power of the dragon's blood, and she fell back into the escort chair as if she had lost her strength, and her previous sense of nobility was gone, and she was not at all like the head mother of a large mixed-race family.

Suddenly, she said in a faint voice, "It's not very suitable for me, but Pompey is ...... You've always wanted to take over the family. He had repeatedly complained to the Council of Elders that he was not fit for the position of head of the household. ”

"What is this? Do you persuade me to let go of hatred? But at this time, isn't it a little late? Frost asked.

Clarissa shook her head: "No, I just want to say that if you really want to get revenge, you can break his legs, you can ruin his face, you can drain his blood, you can make him a waste...... However, please spare his life. ”

Frost looked at her quietly, carefully examining the woman who was proud enough to ignore the Presbyterian Church and bow her head even to Pompeii. She still looks beautiful, but underneath this beautiful appearance is an older and decaying body than he was just now. A thick intent of death overflowed from her young but old body, and under the bright blonde hair was the pale hair that could no longer be hidden.

"You traded your life for mine?" Frost asked, a little puzzled.

It's not that he feels guilty about it, it's Pompeii and the Gattuso family who owe him. It's just that she, a noble wife of the head of the family, has a life that ordinary people can't imagine, why would she do this for the sake of him, who is regarded as an abandoned son by the family.

“…… I'm just, betting on the future, and I'm running out of lives anyway. "I have a child with Pompeii, and the family has given him the name 'Caesar', and he is destined to become the greatest leader of the Gattuso family, even all of humanity and even dragons...... These are the expectations that the family has of him, but the price to be paid may be the erasure of his ego or himself. ”

Clarissa kept her head down, the setting sun casting a shadow over her face, like a pearl covered in dust.

She said in a hoarse and dry voice, "I can't accept that my child will eventually become someone else's container." I can't accept that others are using my child to live the life he should live......"

"Even if it...... She is my Creator. Clarissa said slowly, the room completely darkened, and it was impossible to see her expression.

But Frost could see the firmness in her eyes, the determination to never allow her children to be harmed. However, he also discovered a new problem.

"What you call the Creator, and what you say is behind it...... It's not the same person, is it? He asked faintly.

The air suddenly cooled, and Frost could feel a hint of murder spilling from Clarissa in front of him. He believed that as long as he had other superfluous movements, this wife who seemed to be extremely weak from blood loss interceding for her husband and a weak mother who was worried about her son would definitely break his neck.

】

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable burst of applause in the darkness, which made the two people in the stalemate turn their heads reluctantly.

The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and a man sat on the sofa in the living room at some point, crossed his legs, holding a goblet that he didn't know where it came from, and looked at them with a clapping and chuckling.

He was tall and handsome, with his blonde hair combed into a big shiny back. Dressed in luxurious suits, the things worn on the body are all from the hands of famous artists, and they look like they have good taste.

"Behemoth made two fatal mistakes." The mysterious man smiled and said, "First, she doesn't know what kind of faith and strength a mother will burst out in order to protect her child. ”

He held his glass and saluted Clarissa: "To little Clarissa, I wish your child a bright future." ”

Clarissa looked at him and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your blessings, sir, I think he will have a bright future under your leadership." ”

"Second......" The mysterious man turned his head to look at Frost, who was looking at him with a wary face, "Second, she shouldn't tolerate the Gattuso family throwing such a good person into this corner where no one cares, and she shouldn't let him, who has hatred for the Gattuso family, be the new agent. ”

"What do you mean?" didn't know the details of the other party, and Frost, who was even more isolated, had to follow the other party's words.

The mysterious man looked at him and smiled inexplicably: "After all, Behemoth doesn't know what this new agent will think after knowing that the tragedy he experienced also has her part in the effort. ”

This somewhat inexplicable answer made Frost's face confused, and then Clarissa beside him explained: "The Council of Elders controls everything in the family, but the Council of Elders controls the deepest part of the Pantheon, my Creator. ”

Clarissa looked up at him, "It's also her, let me wake you up, as her substitute after me." ”

"Surrogate......" Frost chewed on the word.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, the mysterious man added, "Behemoth secretly controls everything in the Gattuso family, including your battle with Pompeii. But this battle is doomed from the beginning, and your defeat is just a careless, or a small decision that she has long forgotten. ”

Frost's eyes widened, and the anger that had just fallen silent came back to him.

As if he didn't see his anger, the mysterious man said to himself, "Speaking of which, the rise of the Gattuso family may have something to do with me." ”

"Almost ninety years ago, in order to test the power of the half-breeds at that time, I threw such a small threat at the center of the secret party at that time." The mysterious man spoke to Frost's face about his past, "What is the result...... Even if I don't say it, you know, right? ”

Frost took a deep breath and spat out a sentence: "Summer's mourning......"

The mysterious man smiled slightly: "It was at that time that the Gattuso family, who retreated to Sicily, took advantage of the situation and entered the upper echelons of the secret party. In this way, I may have inadvertently helped Behemoth. ”

"You...... Are you telling me this, are you showing what you are capable of? After absorbing this news that could shock the entire secret party, Frost looked at the mysterious man in front of him.

Now he can be said to be facing the number one enemy of the secret party today. This mysterious man, perhaps in a hostile relationship with the existence hidden behind the Gattuso family, even developed a double agent like Clarissa, and now, the mysterious man has come to find him again.

"That's right." The man replied, "Times are changing, and I don't like to use strange methods to force people like my other brothers and sisters, and Miss Clarissa's willingness to cooperate with me just shows that?" ”

Clarissa didn't speak, not knowing whether she acquiesced or simply didn't dare to answer.

Frost looked at the mysterious man in front of him and asked quietly, "How can you guarantee that what you have done will not be discovered by the Creator?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I've dealt with her for thousands of years, and it's not easy to hide from her, but it's not too difficult." The man replied, smiling at Frost, "I'm a professional at deception. ”

Frost glanced at Clarissa, then at the mysterious man, and lowered his head silently: "It seems that I don't seem to have a choice...... So dear sir, I wonder what I have to offer you? ”

"A wise choice." The mysterious man raised his glass, "Cheers, then, for our new partner!" ”

……

The door closes softly, cutting off the room that seems to have been forgotten by the world. The outside of the corridor and the inside of the room seem to be two worlds, and even if it's night, it still reveals a warm and harmonious taste. Clarissa held down her visor and nodded to the escorts passing by, and left alone.

The sound of high heels gradually faded away, and the high-level nursing home executives who gathered at the door and bent down to say goodbye went to work. A strand of white hair slipped from the brim of her hat, and Clarissa hid the strand of white hair with an unchanged expression, and walked forward calmly. It wasn't until she got back in the car and sat down that she collapsed in the driver's seat.

She asked a little tiredly, "Sir, how long can I live?" ”

In the quiet air around us, a voice suddenly replied, "If you weren't going to save our new partner, you might still be able to see your children go to school, but now...... Cherish every day and night with him. ”

Clarissa breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as I can spend a few birthdays with him, I think I'll be satisfied." ”

The mysterious man who was not here, but whose voice could still be heard here, chuckled: "You are obviously the creation of Behemoth, but you are disobedient to her will, you really surprise me more and more." ”

Clarissa was silent for a moment: "I'm just, I'm doing what a mother should do." ”

"I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next...... I'd like to say that, but I'll have to get away for a while. The mysterious man said, "I am now going to the far north, to meet a family...... It should be an old friend now, and I hope to see you alive when I come back. ”

Clarissa replied, "Have a good journey, sir." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, but for now, please call me Major." The mysterious man replied, and then there was no sound.

After a long silence, Clarissa looked at the brightly lit sanatorium outside, then started the car and drove out gradually.

Frost stood at the window and watched her leave, muttering to himself, "In order not to be eaten by the tiger, he turned to the lion, but who knows if the lion is also hungry?" ”

……

After a long silence, Caesar wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Frost in front of him with some Mo Hu's eyes: "Throwing yourself into the command of another dragon king in order to fight against the dragon king, my mother...... She's stupid. ”

If you ignore his choked tone, maybe what he said might be disrespectful to his mother.

"That's what I thought at first." "But she's your mother, and she's not going to let you escape the tiger's mouth and put you into the lion's mouth." ”

"For this reason, she has prepared for you weapons that can blunt the lion's sharp claws, even if they can't pull out his sharp teeth." Frost lifted his clothes, revealing the skin engraved with the alchemical matrix beneath it, "Come, Caesar, stab your knife into here, and devour the tiger that wants to devour you, and become the Niolde she desires!" ”
