Chapter 22: The Line Between Life and Death

"Wake up!" shouted the keeper as he pressed against the lamp's chest. A stream of water squirted out of Deng Ke's throat, and after a few coughs, he came to his senses. The Keeper's wrinkled forehead caught his eye first.

"Great, you're awake. Tell me, is the Nakshatra your father?" asked the keeper eagerly, picking up the lamp.

"He's not my dad, ahem....... He's just a fake. "I don't want to wake up and remember this painful thing.

"Hahaha!" the keeper let go of the lamp, "you believe me now?" he smiled grimly.

"The only information I can provide about Legus is that I think he once went to my house and left blue blood on the floor. Maybe he lives close to me, and you can have the people on land look up who has the blue blood, wouldn't that be clear? That's all I know, and I don't know anything else. After saying this, Deng Ke was very uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that he should not help this person called the guardian.

"Very well, you're finally willing to tell me. Are you thinking about it, have you ever met someone or something strange that makes you feel strange around you?" the keeper hinted, but Lampke's mind went blank. "For example?" he asked. "For example, is there a child about your age who likes to look at the stars on the roof every night, and always has a stone in his hand, or always has a book on divination?" the keeper added immediately. Deng Ke thought about it carefully, there really is one such person, and that is himself. On clear nights, he always likes to take the "Astrological Divination Manual" left by his parents and go to the roof to identify which stars are called, what names they belong to, and the area they belong to. Every time he looked up at the vast starry sky, a strange feeling came over him, as if his eyes that had been blindfolded had finally opened, and all the truths would be presented in this world. But that doesn't mean much after all, any curious child would behave the same way after reading that book. As for it, he always likes to hold a stone when he has nothing to do, which seems to be a quirk unique to Dengke, he can't tell why, but as long as he is free, he feels uncomfortable when he doesn't hold the stone in his hand. But how to tell the Keeper that he was not Legus, and that there was no one else but him. That is, .......

"No, I've never seen anyone like that. "He felt like he was lying.

"Really?" the Keeper glared fiercely into his eyes. Deng Ke took a deep breath, he insisted that he did not withdraw his gaze, but said firmly.

"Really!"

"Have you ever met someone who was as cold as ice?" asked the keeper. "Isn't that you?" thought to the lamp.

"Nope. Never touched it. He said.

"Isn't there anyone who accidentally exposes his strong ** strength when he is in danger?" the defender seemed to have to hear an affirmative answer. But Deng Ke has only seen such people in movies, and they are all made up.

"No, I really haven't seen it. His expression was firm. "Otherwise, you send me back to the land, and I will keep an eye out for such a person, and tell you as soon as I find it. ”

"Humph!" the Keeper stood up. "It seems that they expected this day for a long time, so they didn't leave the slightest clue on you. With that, the defender drew his sword.

"What are you going to do?" Although Deng Ke had expected such an outcome, he still felt incredulous, he never thought that he would die in such a dark place.

"I ask you, why did those demons arrest you?" the defender pointed his sword at the tip of Lan Ke's nose, and Lan Ke only felt a tingling in his back.

"I, I don't know! He stared at the tip of his sword, and he replied with a shudder.

The Guardian came closer, "Tell me the truth!"

The sweat on Dengke's head crackled downward, and he looked at the keeper pleadingly, shaking his head vigorously. "I really don't know! they might have mistaken me for Legus. ”

"Hmph! When death is approaching, you dare to be hard-mouthed. Watch me kill you!"

As he spoke, the defender stabbed at the lamp with a sword. Lamp Ke struggled to grasp the soft and slippery ground with his hands, kicked his feet hard, and slid backwards for some distance, but the sword still stabbed into his right leg.

"Ahh

"Lord Keeper, you're here. A man stepped out of the shadows, and he raised his hand, and the golden flame ignited in the palm of his hand, and the room became much brighter.

The defender drew his sword, his expression very calm and composed.

"What are you looking for from me?" he asked. The visitor looked at the lamp Ke who was lying on the ground in pain, and smiled slightly.

"The demons are attacking the Star Temple, and our soldiers are in a mess because they can't find the defenders, and they are retreating in defeat. If the defenders don't fight, I'm afraid they will have to fight to the temple of Ulla. He said unhurriedly, and glanced at the lamp twice.

The defender withdrew his sword, his expression softening a little.

"This Lu man suddenly appeared in our Starry Sky Hall at this time, and many demons followed him, I suspect that he is a spy of the demons, so he was brought here for interrogation. Who knew that he would not admit it, and he was full of nonsense, which delayed me for a long time. Waiter, what do you say you should do?"

"No! no!" he cried out angrily, clutching his bleeding leg, and just as he was about to continue explaining, the waiter's hand had reached his throat.

"What do you think?" the waiter said and grabbed it hard, and Lamp Ke only felt a hot sensation in his throat, and he couldn't breathe. The waiter quickly let go of his hand and retreated to the keeper, still smiling and saying to the keeper:

In this way, he can no longer talk nonsense. Deng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, the waiter did not kill him, but made him dumb.

The Keeper laughed too. "The waiter is always so kind. Today, I'm going to spare his life in your face, and seeing him like this, he won't be able to have anything to do with the devil in the future. ”

"Lord Keeper smiled, I just think that building a temple now is the stage of employing people. Nowadays, the absorption of Lu people has aroused more and more suspicion on the land, and for the sake of prudence, we can no longer absorb them in large numbers as before. So, don't waste one more job if you can. After this stage, it's not too late to kill. After the waiter finished speaking, the keeper nodded.

"Okay, let him go to work in the mines, and then finish him off after suffering hardships. Let's go. The keeper turned and walked towards the shadows, while the waiter walked towards the lamp. Deng Ke clutched his leg tightly, he was already sweating profusely, and when he saw the waiter coming, he could only use his fierce gaze to resist senselessly. The waiter crouched down, forcefully removed the trembling hands of the lamp, and put his own hand on the wound on his thigh. Deng Ke immediately felt no pain, he looked at the wound in surprise, the blood was no longer flowing out, and there seemed to be a membrane covering the wound.
