This dark shadow is none other than Lance, who escaped from the basement.

Soon after he escaped, the news was discovered by two guards who had changed guards, and they immediately reported it to the owner of the Wizard's Castle.

Sarugwa, who was concentrating on the experimental data, was furious when he heard the news, and immediately gathered men to launch a dragnet search in the castle.

However, because Jones had already dragged nearly one-third of the guards in the castle to search for supplies in Gelsa City, there were less than two hundred guards left, and it was not easy to find a master who deliberately hid in this magician castle covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters.

These guards, after searching until the night was hazy and still fruitless, did not know what orders they received, except for the normal patrols, the rest returned to the inner fort.

In this way, Lance took advantage of the darkness of the night and hid under the base of this inaccessible city wall, preparing to settle accounts with Nathan at a later date.

But who knew that not long after he hid, Nathan, who he was looking for, appeared in front of him.

Lance didn't want to make a fuss, so he watched a few people fight, and finally became friends, which somewhat surprised Lance.

"You guys really don't know each other, hey...... Let you change it, and I'll settle accounts with you later. ”

After that, under the cover of night, Lance quietly followed Nathan and them.

At this time, Nathan had already exchanged a bag of dried beans with Ebola amicably, and after a few happy chats for a while, he happily walked back.

"If I could get into a pit guard's errand, the treatment would be much better than it is now, haha...... He would have been very happy if he had told Kenny the news to that kid. ”

Nathan was also in a good mood on the way back.

Although two bottles of ale wine only bought a small amount of beans, at least they also made friends with an old miner.

According to him, the miners are treated much better than these survivors who eat and wait to die, and they are warrior monks, and they can be guards when they go.

Just as Nathan was dreaming of a safe life in the mage's castle, where he could live without peace of mind and food, a dark shadow emerged from the darkness, quickly covered his mouth from behind, and then dragged him into the base of a dark city wall, a feeling of extreme danger spread through his body.

"This ...... Is it Ebola that they have repented of? No, they simply don't have such good skills and strength!"

Nathan, dragged into the darkness, thought quickly.

He also just arrived at the Wizard's Castle, and he didn't have any conflicts with anyone except for a little conflict with Ebola?

Nathan, who hadn't yet understood what was going on, heard a familiar and cold voice in his ears, unraveling all the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Nathan, we haven't seen each other in a few days, have we?

Hearing this voice, Nathan's body immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his legs trembled, his whole body trembled, and his eyes showed a look of despair and horror.

This voice, he is all too familiar.

Just two days ago, the great strength that this man showed was still vivid in his mind.

But......

Shouldn't he be imprisoned by Jones and what research he is doing now?

So how did he end up here?

"Brother Nathan, isn't it a surprise? There are some things you have to explain to me, otherwise ......"

The cold killing intent had already plunged Nathan into extreme panic.

He could clearly feel that the person behind him exuded a cold killing intent that was like a substance, and I was afraid that this time it was really going to be over.

"When I first saved you, I saw that you could give up your life for your companions, and what you said to me really moved me a little, I let you go now, but you have to give me a reason not to kill you, don't try to play tricks, otherwise I have the ability to kill you when you don't shout, nod if you agree, if you don't agree, I'll kill you now, and then kill a few of your companions." ”

Faced with such a problem, Nathan nodded vigorously in agreement as if grasping at a life-saving straw without hesitation.

He didn't have any choice.

Hearing that Lance had given him this opportunity, although he didn't know if it was useful, he had to at least fight for Kenefol.

Just as Lance let him go, his feet went limp, and he fell directly to his knees in front of Lance, knocking his head down.

"Say, don't you want to explain?"

Seeing Nathan's actions, Lance, in the dark, pulled out a knife and played with it in his hand casually, as if Nathan would kill him at any time if he said the wrong thing or displeased him.

"I said, I said, Hero Reims, I did this alone, it was me who did it, it was me who was blinded by interests, I was all to blame, you have a lot of them, please let Kenny Fore go, really, I did the whole thing alone. ”

"You did it all alone? Why don't I think that's the case? I don't have much time, so I'll tell me why you betrayed me while I haven't changed my mind yet!"

"Hero Reims, when you were still resting that day, we saw that the city of Gertha was safe, so we went out to look for supplies, and when we came back, we met Jones and his party, and under their coercion and temptation, I told them everything I saw on the hill, and Jones told me that as long as I could help them to drug and stun you, I promised us the right to live in the Wizard's Castle, and provided us with enough food to survive. ”

"That's it, and you're going to sell me to them because of that?"

Lance said with some annoyance.

The killing machine on his body was even better, and it suddenly lowered the temperature around him by a few points.

"Hero Reims, I'm all to blame for this matter, it has nothing to do with Kenifoe, please let them go, they are all my family and friends, they have come all the way, and they have finally brought them to such a safe place, please, as long as you can spare them, if you want to kill or kill me, come alone. ”

"Nothing to do with them? But when I fainted, I saw that Kenny Ford's kid had a fierce look in his eyes, which is not what you say...... I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, give me a reason not to kill you. ”

Listening to Nathan's incoherent words, Lance was also a little impatient.

But there was already something in Nathan's words that touched Lance a little.

Even now, he still thinks about Kenifo, Tifa, and Creel.

Although Nathan is not a good person, he is a good big brother to Kenny Foe, and if the Dark Ages had not come and the otherworldly creatures had not invaded, I am afraid they would have lived very happily in their hometown.

"Hero Reims, I know that the mistakes I have made are unforgivable, I just ask you to spare them, as long as you let them go, I will let you do whatever you want, please. ”

"Really? Then I promise you not to hurt Tifa and the three of them, but you ...... There is a price to pay for it anyway. ”

With that, Lance's face turned pale, and he reached out and lifted Nathan up, and the sharp knife swirled in his hand and slashed at Nathan's neck.

At this moment, Nathan saw a flash of cold light, and he closed his eyes, his face calmly waiting for death to come.

As long as Tifa and the three of them are okay, it doesn't matter if he's dead, at least for now, they're fairly safe in this mage castle.

"Kennyford, Tifa, Creel, I'm gone, you have to take care of yourselves in the future, alas......"

But Nathan waited for a long time, and still didn't wait for the feeling of being cut by a knife.

He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Lance's knife a finger away from his neck, and stopped.

"This ...... Heroes of Reims ...... You ......"

"Alas...... Forget it, I'm not going to kill you. ”

Lance sighed and put away his killing intent.

Although he was put on the spot by Nathan, it didn't have any substantial impact on him, on the contrary, he was also a blessing in disguise, and the mysterious healing water successfully stimulated the power of the godhead that had been dormant for a long time.

Lance's words made Nathan a little incredulous.

"Just let me go?"

Nathan thought to himself.

However, for the rest of his life, he didn't dare to show any joy on his face, for fear that this young man who had been put on his side would return and kill him.

"But I won't kill you, it's also conditional. ”

Lance pushed Nathan away, and continued: "Remember what you said to me at the beginning, the Dark Ages have come, and many of humanity should have been destroyed in order to survive, and if the living don't help each other and kill their children, we will destroy us ourselves without alien invasion." ”

As the words fell, Lance threw the knife in his hand hard, plunged deep into the mud in front of Nathan's feet, and then silently disappeared into the darkness.

It wasn't until long after Lance left, Nathan, who had survived the catastrophe, that he muttered to himself, "I'll remember that." ”

————————————————

The night was dark, and there was no light in the shack area of the Wizard's Castle, a gathering place for survivors, and they must have fallen asleep.

And in the highest room of the Wizard's Castle, the lights were bright, and dozens of castle guards with strong bodies had gathered.

From their tired and worried looks, it is not difficult to see that something big must have happened.

The owner of the castle, Sarugwa, looked anxious, paced up and down the room without saying a word, and walked uncomfortably to the window, looking at the dark night sky in the distance.

He was in a very bad mood.

First the escape of the experimental materials, and then the bad news from Jones's side, it can really be described as a blessing and a curse, and the current Wizard's Castle is a scene of internal and external troubles.

"Portman, still haven't you found that experimental material?"

Sarugvar seemed to be a little tired from walking, and reflexively walked back to his soft chair and sat down.
