Chapter 391: Carol's Hope (3)
Ron just listened silently, but it was as if a huge stone had been pressed against his chest, and he couldn't even breathe.
He didn't know what kind of stimulus the High Priest Hepfersen had been to become the madman he was now.
He believed that Hefersen's original purpose must have been to save the elves and save the Mother Tree, but in the end, what he did was contrary to his original purpose.
He suppressed the queen and the pope who had mutilated the elves, but his actions were even more cruel than those two.
There wasn't much hatred in Carol's eyes, just fear.
The impression of her parents, she has long forgotten.
After all, she was very, very young when she was adopted by Hephelson, her memory was not yet complete, and she only had a vague impression left in her mind, but that impression had long since faded away as time passed.
Now that I think back to my parents, I can only be sure that they are two people, a man and a woman, that's all.
Since she has no memory of her parents, even if she knows that her parents may have been killed by Hephelson, Carol will not have much hatred because of this.
Her feelings for Hepferson were, more, fear.
"Hepfersen set up more than one orphanage, and all the orphans who were adopted would be sent there, and we would grow up there until we were six."
Carol said slowly.
There was not much emotion in her voice, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her, she was just an indifferent spectator.
"When we are six years old, we orphans will be separated and sent to white houses."
"White House?" Ron asked softly, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, the White House."
Carol nodded, "Big." ”
"The walls are whitewashed and engraved with magic spells, and they are so strong that it's hard to break through the walls from the inside."
"Ten elves will be sent into each white house, and Hefelson will not give us any tasks, after sending us to the white house, the staff will leave, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the white house."
"They won't provide any food, they won't provide any drinking water, they won't provide any weapons."
"They don't have to do anything, when the hunger reaches a certain level, the elves in the white house will start to fight each other, and if they want to live, they can only rely on the flesh and blood of other elves."
Carol's eyes drooped.
Although she had kept her tone as calm as possible, Ron could feel that her voice seemed to tremble.
It was the calm voice that also made Ron's arm instantly covered with a dense layer of small bumps, and the indescribable fear even made Ron feel a little uncomfortable breathing, even if he had already guessed something in his heart when he heard the word Gu raising, but when Carol said it, it was still creepy.
Hepfersen's ferocity was even more exaggerated and terrifying than he had imagined.
"In every white house, only two people survive."
"The two people who survive will be taught the secret method of cultivation by a higher existence, and they will begin to contact magic and begin to master power."
"In the next year, the only job of all those who survive is to practice, keep cultivating, practice hard, and use all means to improve their strength, because we all know that in the near future, we will still enter that white house."
"A year later, we were sent to that place again, still without food or water, this time with just a few more weapons......
"In eleven years, we entered the White House ten times."
"The first nine times, two people survived the white house, and the tenth time, only one person survived."
"Only elves who survive all ten trials are eligible to become members of the assassination team."
"I'm lucky I survived."
Ron felt his throat feel a little dry, and he knew what Carol's fluttering sentence "I survived" meant, representing ten hellish reincarnations, representing a long period of time, feeding on the flesh and blood of his kind.
That's the price of surviving.
He didn't doubt at all that those who survived in this way were all the best of the best without exception.
It's like Carol, although she felt a little confused when she first saw her, and she didn't look like a killer at all, but Carol's strength, no matter where she was placed, was definitely a master.
The only strange thing about Ron was that Carol said that she had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and blood, and it was not an exaggeration to struggle out of hell, but she did not have that twisted and murderous aura on her.
She didn't seem to be tainted by that experience.
"After surviving for the tenth time, I met Heffelson for the first time, I wanted to kill him, I tried, but unfortunately it was not an opponent, he was too strong, one hand, with only one move, I was suppressed."
Carol smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "I can't even see what he did, as soon as I raised my hand, my body was uncontrollably lying on the ground, as if my body was pressed against a mountain, and I felt that my bones and flesh were about to be crushed into crumbs." ”
Ron bowed slightly, wondering in his heart if he could reach the level of Heffelson at his current level.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that unless he unlocked the seal on his body, or held the eye of the dragon god, he would ...... Hard.
This Hefelson is probably a worse enemy than Holt and Apu, and among the opponents Ron has faced, perhaps only the Gravekeeper can match it, second only to the monster in the Andre family's crypt.
"When we practice on weekdays, there will also be Hefelson's subordinates who will instill in us the idea of allegiance to the high priest, but they obviously don't care much about this matter."
"After I was suppressed, they poured a bottle of potion into my mouth."
"It's a terrible potion, the cruelest poison in the world, if we don't take the antidote on time, once the potion effect kicks in, our body will gradually decay little by little, and eventually turn into a pool of thick water."
"It was through this means that he mastered all the people who came out of the white house."
"Being able to come out of the white house alive is naturally very important to his own life, no one wants to lose his life that he finally survived, no matter how much he hates Hepferson, a bastard, but he has to become the sharpest knife in his hand."
Ron nodded, he finally understood Hepferson's series of operations.
Quite simply, he didn't need any loyalty or anything like that.
The so-called loyalty, in fact, is the human heart, and the human heart, is the most unbearable test thing, compared to the human heart, Heffersen obviously feels that human life is more worthy of reliance.
"What about you?" Ron looked at Carol, "I always felt like you didn't care much about this life. ”
Thinking about the so-called assassination before, it feels like a joke.
Carol smiled bitterly: "Who can not care. ”
"After all, I also worked hard to survive from the white house......" After a pause, Carol was a little helpless: "Well, I may not care as much as others......"
"I care more about other things than my own life......"
"I've always lived in a cage, I'm curious about everything in the outside world, I want to see what the outside world is like, as for the tasks assigned by the high priest, I can complete it, and it doesn't matter if I can't complete it......"
"At least come out and see, even if it's death, it's almost enough."
Maybe that's why Carol's assassination is so hilarious.
She has murderous intentions, but not much.
"Hoo ......"
Saying all the things that were pressed in her heart at once, Carol seemed to release a lot of pressure, she exhaled heavily, and subconsciously stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to relax her body.
But it was this action that seemed to have caused some damage to Carol, her brows subconsciously furrowed, and a touch of pain flashed in the center of her eyebrows, and then disappeared in a flash.
After a short pause, Carol spoke again: "As for the people to be killed by the High Priest, there are many, you, Christian, Delores, are on the list. ”
"The Three Princesses of the Sibang Sect, the Fox Sisters of the Orc Leader......"
Carol uttered a series of names, each of which made Ron's face a little gloomy.
"All in all, there are many, many people he wants to kill, the high-level of all the countries in the entire Dusk Continent, the high-level of the Seven Orthodox Churches, almost all of them are on the death list, no one knows what he wants to do, he will only tell us who the target is, as for how to start and why to start, it is not up to us tools to know."
This is a very formidable enemy.
Many of the beings he wanted to assassinate were super strong, and they were by no means easy targets.
But there is no doubt that this assassination will definitely create unimaginable disasters in the entire Dusk Continent.
Could it be that Heffelson's purpose is to disrupt the entire Dusk Continent, and then take the opportunity to dominate the world?
Originally, Ron still felt that Hepferson might be the puppet of the repairman, but now he is not sure, after all, there are many beings on the list who are important characters in the game's plot, and even the two real puppets have died, Vice Pope Apu and Holt 474, who have died, are on the death list.
What does this guy want to do?
"Why did you cooperate with me so much this time? Didn't you die before you didn't want to say it? Ron asked, raising an eyebrow.
Carol sighed faintly, "Who knows, it may ...... Is it because you have the hope of killing Hephelson? ”
"I'll try." Ron nodded, alas, the experience baby is gone.
"You've told me so much this time, what do you want?" Ron asked.
He was a good talker, and in his opinion it was a deal, and Carol provided information for herself, and she paid Carol for herself.
After all, this Carol is also a hidden protagonist, and she has the heart of the wind stored in her.
Although it was hostile before, he couldn't kill Carol himself, so it was not bad to make a deal, at least it was a good fate, and the relationship between the two sides was eased.
Carol's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, a pair of thighs moved slightly on the windowsill, I don't know what I thought, her eyes flickered a little, she wanted to give Ron a few more slaps, it felt pretty good.
But, she's a girl after all.
He was caught by Ron before, and he had no choice but to die or at least get a good reputation.
Now you have to take the initiative to bring it up, so how can it be done?
She doesn't want to lose face?
Today, I changed 9,000 words, and I didn't move, and I was busy and dizzy as soon as I passed the holidays
