In Youluo City, a shop on the street, Dick walked casually between the shelves, his wide black robe swaying up and down with his steps, and his eyes under the mask would occasionally freeze on a certain piece of goods, scrutinizing it. The shop sells magical materials, and its shelves are full of gems and rare metals.

"What kind of materials do you want?" said the shopkeeper, a middle-aged god who looked to be in his forties, smiled. Asked politely.

"A water-attribute gemstone that is more advanced than a water orchid diamond, a fire-attribute metal that is more advanced than a fire dragon's tooth, and a material that is more suitable for infusing and transmitting magic than pure gold, for the time being, these are the three things. Dick casually said that these were all the materials needed to set up a more efficient magic array.

Every time Dick said a word, the shopkeeper's brows furrowed even more, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, these materials you want ......"

Dick suddenly felt the communication crystal ball in his arms tremble slightly, "I'm sorry, please wait. He apologized to the owner of the shop. Then he walked to a corner where no one was around, took out the crystal ball, and the gray mist was like a cloud of evaporation, and the mist slowly dispersed, and the image inside gradually emerged.

A figure that should never have appeared appeared in the crystal ball, causing Dick to freeze in place for a moment, his eyes bursting with cold light.

"Hoffman!" Dick said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.

A playful smile appeared on Hoffman's face: "How is it? Aren't you surprised? The crystal ball you handed over to the disciple for communication will be in my hand?"

Dick took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly, forcing himself to calm down.

His face was covered with frost. Said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

Hoffman retracted his smile, his red eyes glaring at Dick. There was anger in his eyes: "It's nothing, your disciple." That one named Ya Luo is now in my hands, we are in the demon castle 30,000 miles south of Youluo City, if you want your disciple to live, you can exchange the pupil of Shura!"

Dick scoffed, "You think I'm going to be that stupid?"

Hoffman was stunned, but then his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't come, your disciple will bear all my wrath, and I will slowly torture him to death." Think about it. ”

Dick was silent, his face uncertain.

Hoffman suddenly leaned his face closer to the crystal ball and said playfully: "I can tell you one more thing, originally my Jihua was to ask your disciple to lure you to the castle. But I have to admit that your disciple is really very loyal to you, whether it is persuasion, inducement or torture, he will never give in, otherwise I would not have to make such a decision. ”

As expected, the hesitation on Dick's face was even heavier. Hoffmann ended the communication. Between the gray smoke and dust, the image disappeared into the crystal ball.

Dick froze in place, his eyebrows furrowed, his lips pursed slightly. Silently pondered.

Intellectually speaking, you shouldn't go to the Demon Castle anyway, that would undoubtedly be a huge trap. The mighty true god is eyeing him. However, the human heart has emotions in addition to reason. After all, Yarrow is his own disciple! The bits and pieces of the nine months of getting along with each other come to mind.

That stubborn boy who is simple and persistent, clinging to his pride.

That respects teachers and relieves teaching. A well-behaved disciple who carefully asks for his own magic martial arts.

The vampire demon who is indomitable and does not hesitate to challenge a powerful enemy.

The shy boy who was a little shy and blushed to introduce his lover to the teacher.

Scene after scene, as if it happened yesterday, it was his first and only disciple! Dick took a deep breath, and then sighed: "Stupid apprentice!"

His body shook slightly, and the space around him rippled and fluctuated, and in a trance, countless scenes shuttled around him, and when everything was clear again, Dick had already arrived in the wilderness beyond the south gate of Yuluo City.

No longer hesitating, Dick rose into the air and shot towards the southern sky like a wind and clouds.

Beyond the mountains and rivers, the outline of a valley gradually emerged on the horizon, and a majestic castle stood in the wind.

Dick lowered his figure and walked into the demonic castle, through the gardens, over the rockery, through the pavilions, through the courtyards, all the way to the gates of the palace.

Dick exhaled a long breath, with his current strength, the space system divine spell and the main artifact Shura Pupil, he was no longer afraid of ordinary true gods, but Hoffman was the strongest man on the earth list, and the success or failure of the head-to-head duel was still unpredictable. Thankfully, however, there were no legions stationed in the castle, and Hoffman was reluctant to let more people know the secret of the Pupil of Shura.

Dick stretched out his hand and pushed open the palace gates, all expressions frozen on his face.

The palace was still lit up with crystal chandeliers, Hoffman was still on the throne, and the Vaal family, including the patriarch Troy, were still standing in the temple.

The only difference was that a tall cross was erected in the center of the palace, and the smooth marble floor of the palace was covered with cobweb-like cracks, and it looked like the cross had been inserted into the ground. There are also fine gravel scattered around.

Blood stained the entire cross a blinding scarlet, and a bruised figure was crucified with eight special iron nails on his wrists, ankles, arms and knees. The nails are carved with deep blood grooves, greedily sucking every drop of blood in the human body.

"Yarrow?" Dick asked blankly, unable to determine with his eyes whether the man in front of him was his disciple.

In his memory, Yarrow was a handsome young man, with a pale face and pale blonde hair, as if he was the oldest and most elegant nobleman in the mortal plane.

However, almost the entire figure nailed to the cross in front of him was stained red with blood, and his lips were as pale as paper. Hideous wounds were all over the body, the flesh was turned out in horror, and the wounds were already white from excessive blood loss.

The limbs, hands and feet were almost only a layer of skin attached to the body, and the torso almost fell off the cross. The bruised figure heard Dick's voice and turned his head, only to see that what had been his eye was now two red blood holes.

He opened his mouth, but it was difficult to speak, and he could only barely squeeze out a few syllables: "Old ...... Teacher ......"

"The tongue is already ......," Dick shuddered, and hurriedly walked up to Yarrow and put his ear close to his mouth.

"Quick...... Run......" This sentence made Dick tremble, and he said in a trembling voice: "Silly apprentice, don't say it, the teacher will definitely save you!"

Dick's eyes were slightly moist, and he stretched out his hand, but his fingers shook uncontrollably like chaff. Then he grabbed the iron nail that pierced Yarrow's body and carefully pulled it out, even though his movements were as gentle as possible, Yarrow still gasped in pain.

"Quick...... Run...... Still...... There are ......" Yarrow still struggled to squeeze out his words.

"What else?" Dick listened carefully as he observed Yarrow's mouth.

"Protection...... Good...... Green jade...... Kiss ......" Yarrow frowned, sweat rolled down his forehead, and with all the strength of his body, he finally said what was in his heart.

Dick had pulled out all eight iron nails, and Yarrow's body flipped forward weakly, and Dick held it up with his arm.

"Beatis?" Dick repeated in a low voice, suddenly thinking of something, and reached out to grope in Yarrow's arms. But it was empty.

"Are you looking for this?" Hoffman, who had been on the throne, had been smiling on Dick's face since he entered the door, and now he raised his right hand high, holding two transparent crystal balls in the palm of his hand. One is Yarrow and Dick's, and the other is naturally Beckis's.

"What did you do?" Dick asked coldly, carefully stopping the bleeding for Yarrow, then stood up.

Hoffman hahadaxiao, revealing a mouthful of white miserable teeth: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I used another crystal ball to contact that little girl and show her what your disciple looks like now, she is rushing here at the moment!" Speaking of this, his eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, "If you don't come, as punishment, I will kill his woman in front of your disciple!"

Dick's pupils narrowed. (To be continued......)
