"Hassel......" he heard Scarlet talking outside. "You've lost your bet. Your miracle didn't happen,"

He didn't answer, he didn't have the courage now, and his ambition and arrogance had long since flown to an unknown corner. He could do nothing but cry and beg.

"I heard you praying. "But the gods are cruel, and they can give you miracles, but they can make you pay a terrible price. Remember the night you did evil to my family, and that night I prayed to God in fear that a miracle would happen. A knight from Stygia, a guest of my father, a true friend and not a viper like you, saved me that night. He had intended to save my father, but he was one step too late and had to save me. But on the way to retreat, I saw with my own eyes the scene where you killed my brother and mother. In every nightmare that woke me up screaming, I was witnessing over and over again what I saw that day. ”

"I heard from you, and I heard about your arrival in Sivania. I was going to look for a group of allies, but it wasn't too late. One day, I was out and about being attacked by Ryan's soldiers. Most of my team was killed, I was taken prisoner with a few others, and I was sent to the excavation site in Sivania. It was a hellish place, and so many people died every day. Some were executed, some committed suicide, and many more died inexplicably in agony. I had thought I would not be spared, so I prayed again—not to the gods of the astral field, but to the Lord of the Firmament, the oldest deity of the Hambin. Before my nation believed in the gods of the astral field, I used to worship this god - praying, not for my own life and death, but for fear that I would not achieve anything before I died, and I would not even avenge my parents. In that case, even if I die, what face will I have to see my parents and brothers?"

"Once again, my prayers have worked. There was a noble knight who could not afford to watch so many innocent people die in the excavation site, so he organized an escape. He chose me as an assistant and taught me how to use weapons. The escape was successful. I left the excavation site and set out on my way to find you. But unfortunately, I found out later that what the knight had taught me was not enough for me to confront you. I was caught by you and given to the ghouls. No doubt, I was indeed sent there. When I opened my eyes dimly, I saw that I was already surrounded by hordes of filthy and bloodthirsty monsters. ”

Even after being immersed in the water, Hassel, who was on the line of life and death, quieted down, wondering what had happened to the road.

"But there's another more powerful and evil being than ghouls. A vampire is right there. Thankfully, the vampire wasn't interested in my blood for the time being. So I made a deal with him that he would give me enough strength for revenge, and in return I would accept his eternal servitude. Hassel, to achieve a miracle, there must be a price. You have given your conscience in order to achieve your own miracle, and I have surrendered my freedom in order to achieve my miracle. ”

"Now, let's feel my miracle. This was the last sentence of the scarlet, and then, the last bucket of water poured in.

The Nightmare Horse moves rhythmically down the road. West Vania is indeed a remote and unexplored place, and although it is a "big road", it is really just a small road that is only wide enough for two cars. The condition of the road is also very bad, and a horse-drawn carriage is guaranteed to fall apart if it runs fast for a day on such roads.

The situation on both sides of the road is also poor. There is no farmland in this area, only half-man-tall weeds and endless shrubs and low forests. This environment is definitely a great place for bandit gangs to hide. No wonder there is not a single figure on the road. Unless there is a brigade of bodyguards, businessmen will certainly not dare to go this way.

Ashruphat walked through a grove. He noticed a shrub in the distance with red fruit on it.

"Master, that thing looks delicious!" Mimilu jumped off the nightmare horse and galloped towards the bushes. She was soon happy to start eating the fruit. Ashruphat stopped the Nightmare Pony and watched from afar as Mimilu feasted there.

"Master, to be honest, I think the next course of action needs to be well studied. Carrie snapped into her mind.

"What's next? Everything is fine, we just have to wait to see Pinod. Ashruphat asked curiously. "When the news of Hassel's death comes, Cade will go to see Pinold. All we have to do is follow him secretly...... Is there anything else you need?"

"My concern is if Pinod and you can't come to an agreement...... Even because of the past, he and you turned against each other, and the sword was against each other, what if that happened?"

"Let's leave......" Ashruphat suddenly felt that something was wrong. In his original conception, he did have the idea that "it is best to talk about it, and if it can't be talked, then go their own way". But now, it seems that some conditions have changed.

If this continues, Pinod's ambition to rule West Vania may soon be realized. Carrie continued. "According to Cade's method, it would be easy to poison the three lords. Although it is said that the nobles have servants who specialize in tasting poison, this method of killing people only occurs after two or three months...... You can't fight it by testing the poison servant. ”

Ashrufat couldn't help but start seriously considering Cayde's approach. There is no doubt that by the time Cade and Pinod meet, Pinod will understand the mystery and will soon master the method. Ashrufat hated this method of plotting, but he had to admit that it was extremely effective. At that time, it is very likely that the three lords will die together, and the entire Sivania will be leaderless, so that Pinold can easily succeed.

"Carrie, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"I have a suggestion. Carrie said. "If Pinod chooses to be your enemy, I suggest you kill Pinod and rule West Vania in his place!"

Didn't you say last time that not only did it not do good, but it increased the danger?"

"Last time was last time, and now it's different. Now that we have a base, if you rule Sivania, your security will be strengthened. If you don't, the church guys will soon start digging up. Sooner or later, they will dig up your base and take everything of value from it. This means that they will further strengthen their strength. ”

"But I can't kill him, I remember you said, he's as strong as I am. In the current situation, I am not sure that I will kill him. It's a little more likely he'll kill me. ”

"No, it's a great opportunity. His strength would be enough to fight you under normal circumstances, but now that he is seriously injured and weak, he is not to be feared. If you can launch a sneak attack, you're 90% sure you'll kill him. ”

"It's useless to kill him, and his subordinates won't listen to me. ”

"His men will listen to you. Since you and Pinold are of the same kind, what reason do they have to be hostile to you? What choice do they have but to take refuge in you? And even if they all flee, you can try to organize your men again! Master, what do I think you are making excuses for? Is there some special bond in your heart?"

Ashrufat was told that he was in his heart and did not speak for a long time.

"Host, please let me know if you have any special ideas. We are one, and there is no need to hide from each other. ”

"I'm from Ryan. After a long time, Ashruphat finally answered. "Carrie, I'm sure now! Although I can't recall the details of the past, and although it is true that Kotoshin has completely erased my memories of the past, I can at least be sure of one thing, and that is that I was once a knight of Ryan. I'm sure I've been involved in the development of West Vania, which is why I'm so familiar with it. This familiarity that even scares me. ”

"But master, you have nothing to do with the past, and you are no longer human......"

"I know it! Carrie, I know it! I think Qin Xin met me on the battlefield who was already dying. It is true that she gave me a second life, although it was not my intention, but it was indeed her life. So I should carry out her will. But I really don't want to betray my old country, the country to which I was allegiated!"

"It's not a betrayal......," Carrie whispered, but it was also her last sentence. Carrie fell silent.

Mimilu is back. She held a handful of wild fruits in both hands. The inside of the mouth is even fuller. Because there was so much stuffing in her mouth, red juice kept flowing down the corners of her mouth.

"Clansmen...... Come often...... then a ...... Hum it's too late......" Mimilu gave the wild fruit in her hand to Ashrufat, and her mouth was slurred with difficulty.

"Xie Lu, Mimilu. Ashruphat picked up a wild fruit from Mimilu's hand. It is a soft, red fruit, and although I don't know the name of the fruit, I can clearly smell the sweet smell. He took a bite and tasted the taste. For him, this is the real meaning of "tasting taste", because he does not develop an appetite for ordinary food.

"Someone is coming. Carrie suddenly reminded in her mind.

Ashrufat looked over and saw a figure parting the weeds and walking in the direction of the main road.

It was a man in a blue tunic with a hood attached to it. It's not common, but it's not outrageous. Perhaps to shade the sun, the man wore a hood over his head to hide his face. He carried no obvious weapons, nor any tools or luggage, not like a hunter or a woodcutter. But he was clearly coming from the field, not an ordinary passerby.

This mysterious man obviously did not expect to meet the traveler here, and after seeing Ashrufat, he was stunned for a long time, looking Ashrufat up and down. But it was the same with Ashrufat, the two men looked at each other forty-five paces apart.

"Master, he has ...... on his body The smell of dark magic ......," Carrie reminded in her mind. "Please pay attention. ”

"I got it. Ashrufat replied. After much deliberation, he decided to play the role of an ordinary horseback traveler, so he looked away and instigated the Nightmare Pony to move on.

The mystery man stood there motionless. His gaze had shifted from Aerufat's body to the Nightmare Horse.

The Nightmare Pony walked slowly, getting closer and closer to the mysterious man, who had remained in his first position. Just when Aerufat thought that they would pass by so calmly, the mysterious man waved his hand, and a black energy visible to the naked eye came towards Ashrufat.

The Nightmare Pony leaps sideways, dodging most of the energy waves. Although the remaining black energy hit the Nightmare Pony, it was completely absorbed by the Nightmare Pony and had no effect.

"What! I was startled, it turned out to be a colleague. The mysterious man grinned and took off his hood.
