Chapter XXXVIII: Sacrifice 2

(Two more kinds of requests)

The door closed again.

Lovren and Lolothy sat facing each other, silent.

Soon, Luo Lucy was the first to break the silence.

She untied the necklace she had been wearing from her neck and removed the pendant from it.

The pendant is a water bottle with a concave side and a raised middle, with intricate carvings and a metal cap.

Luo Lucy opened the lid of the water bottle pendant, and a choking smell instantly filled the entire reception room.

Lovren frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Lucy stood up, took out a bottle of wine and a glass from the cabinet by the wall, paused, took out another glass, and sat down again.

When I opened the bottle and filled a glass, the amber liquor poured out, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately diluted the previous choking smell.

"Emerald Dreams. Luo Lucy picked up the water bottle-shaped pendant and shook it in front of Lovren, then tilted the mouth of the bottle very carefully, and dripped a drop of liquid from the bottle into the wine glass, and in an instant, the amber wine seemed to be dyed, turning light green at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was strange and abnormal. "A drop, mixed with wine, will die painless in a minute, and I think you'll use it too. ”

Lotsie closed the lid of the water bottle charm and pushed it in front of Lovren, along with the bottle and another empty glass.

"Brother, I know that you still have a lot of things to do, and I should accompany you to deal with it, but I'm sorry, I'm really tired. In fact, in retrospect, what are we doing this for? I am for money, because this is what I value most when I marry into the family, Carlos's brother is for military exploits, he has wanted to be a general since he was a child, but unfortunately he missed the opportunity, and you want to carry forward the Colbenson family and become a real nobleman who can play a significant role in the empire. Actually, Brother Carlos and I both know about your dreams, and we know that you are not angry with your father's choice, and want to prove him wrong, why don't we be like you? ”

With a long sigh, Lovren shook his head with a smile and sighed: "That's right, we were wrong, and I am relieved that the Colburnson family is in his hands." ”

"Brother, it's good if you let it go, okay, don't say much, I'll go first, I heard that the taste of this Emerald Dream is very good, but it's a pity that no one can prove it......" Luo Lucy raised her wine glass and smiled with relief on her face.

Lovren looked at his sister's smile, as if he was the one who followed him every day when he was a child, being his tail, and playing around together, so innocent, so beautiful, so carefree......

"See you again, brother. Luo Lucy drank the wine in the glass, "It tastes really good, I'll go to Brother Carlos first and ask him to wait for us." ”

"Well, wait for me, it won't be too long. Lovren nodded heavily, a tear running down his face, but he still had a smile on his face.

Lo Lucy smiled, closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, no longer speaking.

In a short time, in Lovelon's eyes, a visible blue qi appeared on her cheeks, but there was no expression of pain, and soon her breathing gradually slowed until there was no ......

Seeing his sister lose her life in front of her, Lovren couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and tears rolled down his face.

"We'll see you soon. ”

Lovren stood up with red eyes, grabbed the bottle, glass, and charms, and headed for the second floor.

It was where he and Carlos lived.

......

"Your Excellency!"

Gehr saw the coming, it was Georgia, the deputy instructor of the knight's camp, and there were several other people behind him, all of whom were reserve knights in the knight's camp.

"Chief Gabriai has sent us to your aid. Georgia bowed respectfully to Gehr.

Gehr nodded, "You guys just stay here." ”

This is Gabriai making overtures to Geral. He still has a strong ability to judge form, and he knows that after this night, no one can stop Gehr from becoming Baron Colborne, so he immediately sends someone to sell it, and this kind of thing is always better as soon as possible.

"How's it going in the tower?" asked Gehr.

"A few mercenaries fled to the second floor and killed a few people, and they have been surrounded and killed by Chief Gabriai himself, before I came, the fifth and sixth floors have been searched, and the chief is leading people to search floor by floor to make sure that no fish have slipped through the net. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Another group of people ran over, seeing that their outfits should be from the city guards.

"Chief Burian has sent us to wait for your lordship. The leading non-commissioned officer ran up to Gehr and saluted.

Brian was the commander of the city guard, and apparently his sense of smell was no worse than that of Gabriel, and he reacted right at once.

Being able to be sent by Gablel at this time, Georgia is undoubtedly his confidant, and he knows his meaning very well, and immediately glared angrily at the guy in front of him who ran over to grab the credit.

The non-commissioned officer was also unambiguous, and glared back. The city guard and the knight's camp are originally two systems, and no one can control anyone, and who is high and who is low depends on where the lord's ideas and resources are tilted. Usually when drinking in the tavern, there is no shortage of fights on both sides, one side is more people and the other side has strong personal strength, one is equal, and the grudge between the two parties has continued, and it has not been together, so there is no fear of this knight who is far stronger than himself.

However, both of them knew that there was no room for them to mess around in front of Gehr, and they both maintained restraint and only exchanged their eyes.

Gerwaner felt that the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene of two wild dogs snatching a bone, Georgia and the non-commissioned officer were the two wild dogs, and he was the tempting bone.

I really don't know what will happen to them when they learn of their decision.

Gell maliciously made a guess, and then sent the soldiers of the city guard brought by the non-commissioned officer to help maintain order, and Georgia, who was less people, to stay by his side, and separate the two sides.

"My lord, does this smell a little wrong?" Triumphantly watched the somewhat frustrated non-commissioned officer lead people away, Georgia's keen senses brought to him by his body far beyond ordinary people made him smell a trace of something wrong, and the source of the smell was the house in front of him, the residence of the three Gehr relatives.

Gehr didn't speak, he had smelled it a step earlier, and he could clearly tell it was the smell of lamp oil.

......

It was as if Loveren, who had suddenly aged for decades, moved back to the reception room step by step, leaving only a little wine in the bottle in his hand, and the glass had fallen to the ground and shattered after he had fed the wine to his most beloved young son.

There was a square iron bucket in his hand, which was used to replenish the lamp oil. By this time there was not much stock inside, and as Lovren had made several circles around the house, the lamp oil had been spilled over most of the house, leaving only the reception room to be reached.

Circling the reception room, Lovren walked to the edge of the conference table and tossed the oil drum to the side.

After pouring the last bit of the emerald dream into the bottle, Lovren carefully strung the charm back onto the necklace and brought it to his sister, who was no longer breathing of life. Then come to Carlos's side and help him get his clothes in order, and rehang all the crooked badges, just like Baron AndrΓ© who is now lying in the grave.

After thinking about it, Lovren went to the hanger next to him, took a gentleman's hat from it, and put it on Carlos, hiding the ugly and hideous wound.

After doing all this, Lovren returned to his place and sat down.

"I'm here, don't run far. ”

Lovren straightened his collar, lifted the bottle, and shouted above the empty object, "Cheers!"

Drink it all.

At the same time, the match that had been prepared in his hand drew a flame and threw it on the floor on one side, and the flame suddenly ignited, and it scurried around along the path of the lamp oil, and in a moment the house was dragged into the flames.

Leaning back on the bench, Loveren felt life gradually disappear from his body, the flames around him rising, but he could not feel the heat of the flames, the cold, the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was slowly drowning him.

At the last moment of his life, Lovren's brain was clear, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, yes, I understand, I know it...... Lolocy is money, Carlos is power, and I am power, using the three of us as sacrifices to usher in the new life of Colbenson in the flames, yes, that's it, father...... You too...... So...... Think...... ......"

The voice fell, and Lovren closed his eyes and died.

The flames burst and engulfed everything.

......

The flames turned the house in front of him into a huge torch in a short time, and the entire Winterdusk Castle was illuminated, illuminating Ger's face red.

The surrounding residents all ran out, but under the organization of the knights and soldiers who had been prepared, they consciously stayed away from the house that was engulfed in flames, and set up a fire barrier to prevent the scattered sparks from spreading to other residents.

Fortunately, because it had just rained, although it had stopped, the houses on the ground were very damp, and the house where Lovren lived was also the most upscale house in the residential area, far from the other houses, so the flames were always limited to the place where they started, and did not expand.

Gehr stood with his sword standing facing the flames, the chattering voices of the inhabitants felt far away from him, and his mind was ethereal.

The flames rose higher and higher, and the crisp sound of wood cracking under the scorching could be heard, and the red moon in the sky seemed to be afraid of being licked by the rising flames, and hurriedly pulled up black clouds to completely obscure it.

Isolde and Bacchus returned to Gehr and shook their heads slightly.

"You stay here, I'll go back first. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Gehr turned and headed for the core tower, the flames pulling his figure long, long.

"It's all over, it's just the beginning. ”
