The human heart is sinister.
Fennie finally realized this.
When she was put on her neck with a knife and touched her cheek with her hand, the humiliation and pain in her heart were difficult to express in words.
This world is not beautiful. At least for this moment, she missed the restrained but safe mansion so much.
"Don't be afraid, little girl...... "Martins leaned behind her, whispering, a clammy breath blowing in her hair like a poisonous snake sizzling letters, "even if the captain wants to sell you to Torm as a slave girl, I will love you well until then." β
Fennie gritted her teeth and said nothing. But the delicate body trembling slightly still revealed her true feelings in her heart.
Not far away, Illo had a blank face, his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Gorko stared at him, he didn't plan to dispose of the half-elves until he found the core.
Deep in the jungle, there were a few sounds of "tuk tuk" in the distance. Gorko frowned slightly, and asked in a raised voice, "It's so late, why are there woodpeckers?"
"Maybe it was just now, we were alarmed. Lina replied casually. She dragged Illo's bag to the campfire, and searched carefully by the light of the fire.
A few clothes, three water bladders, some jerky...... Lina opened her tightly wrapped clothes, her eyes lit up, and she looked up and reported, "Captain, there are two eggs, which should belong to the Iron Claw Wind Falcon." β
Sure enough, you continue. Gorko looked happy and nodded.
Lina turned her bags upside down, but didn't notice. Something like a magic core. She reached out and pulled out the deepest part of the package, a look of surprise on her face.
"What's wrong?" asked Gorko.
"This ...... This is also the Falcon egg?" asked Linna, as she removed her clothes and hay, and held up the mysterious dome aloft.
"Not really," Gorko shook his head. Denied, "Wind falcons will never lay such a big egg." β
"It's weird, it seems to have magic fluctuations...... "Lina felt it, and added, "Maybe it can be sold for a good price." β
"Well, didn't the employer say it, what's in the falcon's lair? He'll pay a lot of money," Gorco laughed, "and that's a good moneymaker." β
"Captain, just ask that kid," Martins cried, "and don't forget, the core doesn't know where he's hidden." β
"He who knows the times is a handsome," Gorko thought. That's the same reason, so he asked in a deep voice. "Mr. Illo, where is the magic core, and what is the origin of this egg, let's hear it. β
Illo twitched the tip of his ear, opened his eyes, and replied indifferently. "The demon core has indeed been shatteredβ"
"Really?" Gorko snorted, his elbow slammed into the half-elf's vest. The pain hit, and Illo gasped. His old wounds there had not healed, and the slightest pull would burn and burn, let alone such a fierce blow.
"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin," Martins looked at Feeney with a squint and licked his lips, "Captain, will he hide the magic core on this chick, otherwise, I'll search it?"
"Whatever you want. Gorco waved his hand indifferently. Afterwards, even if she didn't extinguish her mouth, the fate of this little girl would not be much better. Either sold to a brothel or sold to a wealthy merchant as a slave girl, Martins was willing to try it.
"Wait," Illo interjected, raising an eyebrow, "This egg is worth much more than the Demon Core. β
"Oh?" Gorko was interested, and Martins and Lena also looked at him curiously, waiting for the rest of the story.
"Davide, the dragon knight of Snowdon, have you heard of it?" asked Illo Lang, "how much do you think he can buy that dragon, known as the national treasure of Snowton?"
"How much?" Martins sneered, "The Holy See of Light, as well as the countries of the Holy Alliance, even if it costs a lot, want to get a giant dragon, but where to buy it?"
"Don't talk about it," Gorko said in a deep voice, "and say something straight. β
"Nothing," Illo, who seemed to be in the mood to chat, "there are no dragons, but there are dragon eggs...... If you take this dragon eggβ"
"Wait!" Gordon asked, squeezing the half-elf's shoulders tightly, "What dragon egg?"
"It's in that girl's hand," Illo reminded of the girl, pointing to a slightly dazed Linna, "be careful, don't break it, it's a wind-type dragon's egg, and it's worth a fortune." β
Rina was startled and carefully placed the dragon egg on the soft hay. She and Gorco glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and believed Illo's words seven or eight points.
"Captain, is it true?" Martins asked impatiently, even his breathing becoming heavy.
"I guess, it's rare to see such a big egg. Gorko struggled to suppress his excitement. He looked at the dragon egg without blinking, as if he had seen a bright future.
"Yay!" Martins cheered excitedly, raising his hands. For the sake of a dragon egg, it is not impossible for the Bright Sect to pay a city.
At the moment when the short knife in his hand left Feinie's neck, a faint chill drifted in the air.
Gorko glanced at it, and the ecstasy on his face suddenly turned into consternation. "Be careful!" he shouted, trying to help, but there was a full twenty paces between them.
It's late.
From the top of a scorching volcano, fall into a cold ice cellar. Martins felt stiff, and even his reaction speed was a little slower. He kicked hard with both feet, trying to dodge.
But before that, a touch of frost had already circled his neck gently.
At the same time, taking advantage of Gorko's restlessness, Illo tilted his head and glanced at him lightly.
The eyes of the half-elf are an eerie silver-gray color. Just one looked at each other, and Gorko, who was not on guard, was hit the head. It was as if two invisible arrows shot out of Illo's eyes, piercing his soul.
He held his head in his hands, his expression was painful, and he temporarily let go of the control of the half-elf.
Illo charged up a little, kicked his right foot back, even though he didn't have the strength, but such a flirtatious leg also made Gorko scream and collapse to the ground, not knowing whether to cover his head or protect his crotch.
Out of the evil breath in his chest, Illo did not hesitate any longer, and quickly fled to Feny's side.
There, the girl looked back in shock, staring blankly at Martins' headless corpse, falling to one side. At the place of his neck, the incision was as smooth as a mirror, and the blood that should have gushed like a spring was covered with a faint layer of hoarfrost at this time, and not a drop could be flowed.
Darknan, who was clean-dressed, appeared after the body fell. He carried Martins' head, and the ice-blue blade between his fingers was still half bloody.
