Chapter 41: Zoron's Past

In the vast sea, there is no sign of Yox and Adair falling into it, only the ripples caused by the passenger ship.

Xia Lulu chose to extinguish the fire in the restaurant first, while Adam tried to wake up the unconscious Zoron.

When Zolong came to his senses, looking at the severed arm left by his friend combined with his last memories, this cold man also left tears.

"It's all my fault, Yox, if it weren't for the fact that I took on the task of that group, you wouldn't have had an accident."

Despite the inopportune moment, Adam asked his own question: "Could it be that the mission you are talking about is to kill us?" ”

Zolong calmed down and replied, "That's right, they arranged for me to live with you just to make it easier for me to do it, but when I saw that you were all women and children, I couldn't solve you." ”

"Yox saw my hesitation, which is why he deliberately provoked you on deck, but we didn't expect you to be Vic's apprentice."

"Naturally, we won't be unfavorable to you when we discover this, but I didn't expect them to leave behind and are ready to solve us all.

"So now I think the news of your order for the Sea Bull Banquet has also reached their ears, so that it is just right to use Adelle's poison to solve you effortlessly, and the addition of me and Yox should be a surprise."

"As soon as we were poisoned, they showed up to kill your companions, and Yox and I naturally chose to help you."

"Fortunately, we don't know why you have this white-haired woman who is only a trio, and her strength is still so strong, otherwise we would all die here today."

Adam listened to Zoron's words, Adam broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know why he was assassinated.

"Could it be someone from the guild?" Adam first thought of this possibility, but he immediately rejected it, because several people had already avoided the guild when they left the dungeon, and Xia Lulu was still with them at that time.

Then Adam thought of the only possibility, and that was the shopkeeper White, but why would he have them assassinated? Adam and he have known each other for a long time, and White has not done anything out of the ordinary except for being greedy for money.

Adam, who couldn't think of an answer, could only ask Zoron, who was looking at his friend's broken arm in a daze, "Then do you know who arranged this assassination mission?" ”

"I don't know, we can only get access to the conductor who posted the task, but I think Jonny will know the identities of these people."

"I'm from the Rizhao Empire, and my sister and I are orphans, and we've always been dependent on each other, but fortunately, I have an extraordinary talent in swordsmanship to be accepted by my teacher."

"Although I have practiced excellent swordsmanship, I can't get a half-official position, the reason is because of my sister, fortunately, the teacher doesn't care about this, and has always taken good care of my sister."

"She suffers from rare muscle weakness, and the purpose of my going to sea is to earn money to treat my sister's illness, although it is not a terminal illness, but in the empire where martial arts are respected, people will only be discriminated against."

"Youx, on the other hand, is our concubine as the emperor, although you are the prince, you can only be a puppet of political struggle, so when he heard the news that I was going to sea, he sneaked out of the palace and was ready to help me, but also to find his own freedom."

"Soon we made a name for ourselves at sea, and passenger ships began to hire us as ship guards to protect the ships."

"Although the income is a lot more, it is still far from enough, and this is when Jonny, who has worked with us several times, introduced us to the job of assassination."

Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Zoron's face: "In this way, my income will be much more, and I will be the last one to buy a potion that can heal my sister." ”

"So I wanted to finish your last vote, save enough money and return to my hometown, and take her and Yox to travel the world with me after curing my sister, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly."

"I'm the one who did all the bad things, why should I take Yux's life." Speaking of this, Zolong couldn't cry again.

"I guess he's found his freedom." Xia Lulu, who had already extinguished the fire, said to him after hearing Zolong's words.

"What did you say?" Zolong stopped crying, looked at Xia Lulu in front of him and asked.

"I think what he wants most is to be able to freely control his own life, to be able to freely choose to die for his best companion, or to go back and live as a puppet, he chose the former far away, didn't he?"

Xia Lulu seemed to be deeply touched, and she patted Zolong on the shoulder: "You still have a sister, it's your duty to heal her and then move forward with Youx and your dreams." ”

Seeing that Zolong's eyes lit up again, Xia Lulu continued: "Okay, let's deal with the relics of Yox. ”

Speaking of this, she called the female teacher who had detoxified everyone and caused her to turn purple, and asked if the other party could remove the toxin from this arm.

The female teacher quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I can't swallow a drop." ”

Adam thought for a moment, took out Coco's backpack, took out the storage space containing Chinoby's body, and put Yox's arm in it.

Seeing his approach, Zolong was a little puzzled, and Adam explained: "I'll help you keep it first, it just so happens that our destination is also the Academy, and we may have to stay there for a while, and when she recovers, we will ask her to remove the toxin from her arm." ”

After putting away the storage space, he continued: "I can't give you this either, because there is also an important companion of ours inside, please forgive me. ”

Zolong naturally had no opinion, and he was extremely grateful for the other party's help.

"By the way, I have one more question, which is what exactly is the potion you want to buy." Xia Lulu asked.

"Its life is boiling blood, which is what Jonny told me, although it is very expensive, as long as you take it, your body will be transformed, and you will gain great power."

"Boiling blood? Sure enough, then Zoron, I ask you what is the price? ”

"At what cost?" Zoron was a little puzzled.

"I tell you, the price is that your sister will become a nocturnal monster like them, and she is desperate for blood, and if she is not satisfied, she will lose her mind and become an instinctive beast."

Xia Lulu looked at Zolong and said seriously: "Boiling blood is what the blood clan uses to mass-produce low-level soldiers, thinking of the appearance of a few of them, I guessed that there is definitely a blood clan behind them." ”

"And it's still a bloodline like me or even more advanced than me, and now you have one more goal in life, find the mastermind behind it, and avenge Yox."

Then Xia Lulu said to him with an extremely sincere expression: "It's okay, we will help you." ”
