"Your eyes are full of the shadow of a lie, and it betrays you. You know what I think, you pieces of shit are useless, and I want you all to die in this hellish place as the price you paid for deceiving me.

Hurry up Polonnes, you're a smart man, time is running out, say something that will win my sympathy for your life. ”

Bolonis choked up, breathing hard and opening his mouth to say something, when the captain's boot kicked him in the stomach again, causing his entire body to fly like a ball, smashing on the inner wall of the carriage and falling hard.

Fear forced him to speak. "I know, I know what to say!" He cried and roared, turning his bloody face to Claudius, the regimental commander.

"That girl...... That red-haired girl is a dragon whisperer, and she can understand bird language as well as dragon chirping! Someone will pay a high price for her, and she is worth more than her life and death, more than our entire circus tied together!

With this money...... You can do whatever you want......"

"You're really crazy about me......" Captain Claudius shook his head and drew the whip from his waist and walked towards the stick. There are no dragons in this world. ”

"It's true! It's true! Look me in the eye, I'm not lying! The identities of both of them are not simple, and there must be a way to survive...... You know where to sell her, like we've always done before, give it a try and you won't regret it! ”

The regimental commander stared at him, his expression obscured by the red scarf, his golden eyes glowed with a strange light, and the carriage suddenly stopped at this moment.

The dwarf dropped the reins, climbed out of the carriage, and ran desperately into the nearby woods to run for his life.

He heard what the regiment commander said, the regiment commander was crazy, if he didn't run away, these people would have to die here, he didn't want to die, so he wanted to escape from here quickly, his short body rushed left and right in the black and oppressive woods, and in a short time he was hit by the trunk and branches and his nose and face were swollen.

"I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......" the dwarf muttered numbly, and suddenly a fire lit up from behind him illuminating the dark woods, and he didn't dare to stop, but he couldn't help but look back.

Hearing the "hissing" sound of the poisonous snake spitting out the letter, he just turned his head, his pupils instantly trembled with fear, and a burning poisonous snake crawled quickly in the grass behind him, and everywhere he went, there were burning flames.

No matter how fast the dwarf's little short legs were suckling, the snake could not match the speed of the snake's crawling, and the snake scurried behind him, raised its front body and bit the dwarf's ankle.

The pain was short-lived, and the terrible thing was that the flames on the snake's body burned down the fangs to the dwarf's body. In just a split second, the dwarf's body was enveloped in flames.

"Ahh

The clothes on his body melted and adhered to his skin, the flesh dried up, the muscles broke, the screams became quieter, and the amplitude of the struggle became calmer.

Like a lonely pile of firewood burning in the forest, the crackling of sparks and the chirping of insects resounded through the quiet and peaceful night, the wind gently stirred the flames, so that it burned slowly and unhurriedly, and when the flame orangutan was extinguished, the forest was left with a nameless lump of charcoal.

Cesare's carriage slowly came to a halt in the woods, his body seemed to have reached its limit and he breathed hard, everything before him was darker than the night itself.

Cesare couldn't even see Anya's face clearly, and could only feel the warm little hands bandaging the wound on his shoulder with cloth, but Cesare also knew that the current problem was far from being solved by bandaging.

"Hey, Cesare, do you want to dance?" Anya gently cupped Cesare's face with both hands and said with a grin, she couldn't have noticed that Cesare's body was infected with hyphae, but she still asked mischievously, just as inexplicably as before.

Although it was only a joke, Cesare could not see anything clearly in his blurred vision, and Anya's words reminded him of the scene when he first met Anya at the ball.

That hateful spotlight, countless glances, and the beautiful red-haired girl inexplicably inviting herself to dance......

Cesare had to smile bitterly, raised his arm, which he could no longer distinguish between fingers and sharp claws, and gently stroked Anya's side face, and the girl in front of him seemed to be wearing the dance dress again.

"Anja...... Can you do me a favor? Help me find my clan and they will find a way to save me...... The rest of the journey through the woods will be faster... And taking me on foot will only delay me more, they have horses... It would be quicker for them to come to me. ”

"Hmm." Anya smiled and nodded. "Don't mess with Cesare, and don't die, I'll be back soon."

"Do you see where I look like I can move...... Cesare quipped, and suddenly he felt Anya's face very close, he didn't know what the girl wanted to do, so he could only silently meet Anya's clear blue eyes.

Suddenly, Anya gently held Cesare and kissed him on the lips.

The girl's lips were so soft and incomparably warm, but it also made Cesare's body stiffen instantly, and for the first time in her life, her eyes widened with fright.

While his heart was beating faster, his pale cheeks had regained a little rosiness, and his eyes had changed from feverish weakness to a different kind of confusion.

It was as if the mycelium in the body that was eating Cesare was stunned by this sudden happiness.

When Anya got up, she couldn't help but laugh at Cesare's reaction, and touched her hot red cheeks with both hands. "Then I'm leaving, and I'll have to wait until I'm back, Cesare."

With that, Anya jumped out of the carriage and continued to run towards the forest to the west without looking back.

It wasn't until Anya was completely out of sight that Cesare sighed.

Turning his head, he saw four curious little heads emerging in a neat row, all looking at Cesare with surprised expressions, as if they wanted to say something, but without tongues, they could only make muttered sounds.

"What to see...... What is there to be curious about. Cesare resisted the stiffness of his body and stood up, his flesh as if it were overgrown with plants, making a clicking sound with every movement.

"You will run in this carriage in a moment...... If you can go out of the forest according to the map, if you can't get out, you can find a job in a town with people......"

Cesare got out of the carriage slowly, his situation knew better than anyone else, it was too late......

The mycelium in the body is fighting for the ownership of this body, and at any time and the next second, it may become a terrible thing...... The simple action of getting out of the car is extremely difficult for him now, and he even almost fell.

Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, several child laborers were so busy that they got out of the car to stop him, but Cesare stopped by a shout.

"Don't stop me......" Cesare pulled out the bone staff, the mycelium that had just turned into a sickle had already melted, or rather, had melted into his body and was ready to turn against him, and the bone staff turned into a bare monster bone rod again.

"Hurry up...... Otherwise, the monster will catch up, but don't blame me for not reminding you......"

Several child laborers were stunned in the car, they did not dare to stop Cesare anymore, but they did not drive the carriage away, but only watched Cesare walk into the mist in the opposite direction of Anya's departure with his bone staff, and disappeared into the night.

But what Cesare didn't know was ......

Anya had just left, and the warm smile on the girl's face gradually disappeared, and she ran nimbly through the woods, the distance that crossed the forest in a straight line, and Anya's agility was never slower than the speed of the carriage.

Choked with grief and tears falling from her eyes, Anya knew what was happening in Cesare, and that it was the infection that the old woman's son had undergone in the abandoned town to become a monster lizard.

Hurry, hurry, hurry up and find the rest of the Hunyadi family before it's too late, it must be not far away, as long as you hurry up, it's still too late.

"Cesare... Wait for me... I'll be able to do it soon—" whispered to himself, and suddenly Anya's body stiffened and stopped in place for a moment.

"Uh......" only felt that something had stumbled in his throat, and the leather whip that came out of nowhere suddenly wrapped around Anya's white neck, raised his eyes and looked up, only to see a pair of cruel golden eyes in the dark night.

Claudius, the head of the regiment, appeared silently behind Anya like a ghost, his tall body like an eagle looking down on the sparrows.

Holding the two ends of the leather whip with both hands, he exerted force in the opposite direction, lifting Anya's body directly into the air, and the pain of suffocation in an instant doubled.

Everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to react, and I just ran in a hurry, completely ignoring the presence of people.

Anya's pupils trembled in fear, the leather whip around her neck was already quite tight, she couldn't breathe at all, blood-red marks were exposed from her skin, and her legs were constantly tensing and relaxing to find the ground.

It is difficult to think calmly in the absence of oxygen in the brain, but Anya still slowly touched the saber at her waist, trying to fight back.

However, such a small action was discovered by the regiment commander Claudius at a glance, and he did not deliberately stop it, but just tightened the leather whip harder, no matter how superb the skill was, it was just an ordinary little girl.

"Ahh Uhh

It's just that the instinctive hands weakly grasp the deadly leather whip, grasp and release, obviously a dying struggle, but in Claudius's eyes, it looks so cute.

"Shh......h Take it easy. Claudius, the head of the regiment, stared at Anya, who was gradually weakening, and whispered softly. It's normal to think about the people you love, think about your home, and want to cry, and I'm very experienced in that. ”

Anya's face was already covered with tears, and her mouth was desperately open like a fish trying to breathe from land, trying in vain to take in oxygen.

In the end, he slowly lowered his eyelids and lowered the girl's cute face. Captain Claudius cautiously and slowly released the leather whip, gently letting Anya fall into his arms, and stroking his hand to close the girl's last look.

"Sleep when you're sleepy, dear, just let everything run its course......"

As Claudius's voice grew quieter, Anya's consciousness went from blurry to dark.
