"Please... show... compassion..." The vampire, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to squeeze out these words from his throat. His arms that touched the container were already so withered that they looked like a human being. His body and face were also covered with strange veins, as if there were living things squirming inside. The most shocking thing is that he is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Putting down a certain man who looked like he was about to die, Fen squatted in front of the vampire, held the black muzzle of the gun against the man who was really about to die, and asked: "I hate being troubled, and I hate people who have no eyesight even more. Man. It’s okay to live like a bad person, but think that you can cover everything, but in fact you can’t cover anything. This kind of overestimation of your own capabilities is what I hate the most. You seem to have all these things in place. In addition, that lady asked me to take care of you, tell me, why should I spare your life?"
"mercy……"
"I, the Demon King, what does it mean to have compassion? Well, maybe not now, but at least I once had such a great profession as the Demon King. Is compassion popular among you vampires?"
The vampire could no longer speak, only the grunts in his mouth remained. It was as if his lungs couldn't take in much air. He could only breathe rapidly, his eyes filled with despair. The dry skin was cracked inch by inch, and the gray hair fell to the ground one by one. Finally, his breathing gradually slowed down and then stopped.
His white eyes had lost focus, and his neck could no longer support his head, which had already been lowered to the point where it could no longer be lowered. So far, there is no more sound.
Everyone who witnessed everything thought that this was the end of the matter. Unexpectedly, the container tightly adsorbing the vampire's hands suddenly stretched out countless tiny tentacles, one piece at a time, dismantling the vampire piece by piece, and rolled them into the container piece by piece.
"This...that thing is still alive?" Lin asked in shock, his eyes widening.
"He is originally alive. As I said, even if it is only partially connected to the original body, it will react when you touch his instinct. This is normal."
"So what is that switch? Can you tell me? At least let me know what taboos I cannot break."
Dorothy, who stood back and watched what happened, was equally concerned about this issue. So she, like everyone else, perked up her ears. Fen took back the container, helped up the man who was lying on the ground with one hand, and said: "All existences of that level represent the same thing in the Lost Land. Maybe it is a natural creation, sometimes it is a certain belief or a certain feeling. .What do you think they represent?”
“The unknown that we cannot understand.”
"呴呴, being able to say such things means that you are not completely ignorant of them. But no matter what you know, for you now, the best thing is not to mention it, or even think about it. You are not qualified yet . But you are right, the incomprehensible unknown. But to be more specific, it is to extend this concept to the fear of the dark, the worry about the unknown, the arrogance caused by ignorance, etc. All these have become their understanding of existing in the Lost Land."
Lin couldn't understand this statement. He asked: "If such a concept is presented, it is impossible for them to disappear from history. No matter whether they are human beings or Homo sapiens of any race, it is impossible to overcome them all. This kind of fear comes from nature.”
"Their disappearance is actually not difficult to understand. Everyone is taboo to mention it, so naturally it is unlikely that they will be passed down as inheritance. And those who know about it will die one by one, and the remaining people, although they still have such fear, can no longer pass it on. It is connected with them. At this time, they disappear from the concept of cognition. If this connection is broken, they will no longer appear in the lost land."
"Aren't there some brainless cult believers calling for them to come again?"
"First of all, those people will be killed by their own greed. Is the power of the ruler something they can use and call upon?" After saying something disdainfully, Fen temporarily let go of a certain man and opened the door of the castle. . The Nanna Moon in the sky came belatedly and hung in the sky.
Picking up a man who had just taken a breath, Fen looked at Lin with a helpless face and thought of one thing: "But there may still be some secret believers hiding in the dark shadows of history. You don't know." . And I’ve been dead for so long, so of course it’s even more impossible to know. After all, this vampire here can collect this part. What does she want to do with this thing, and whether she even knows what she is collecting, we have already There is no way to know. In the future, pray to the god of science that you believe in, so that you don’t encounter this thing a second time.”
“Science answers prayer, and it’s not science anymore.”
"Okay, okay, I'm just going to talk casually, I don't want to argue with you about this kind of thing." Fen shook the objects in his hands unhappily, but didn't even look at the items that were still left at the door of the castle. The Vampire Lady. But Dorothy did not dare to be disrespectful in any way. The Demon King was worthy of the name of the Demon King, and he was decisive in killing and unfathomable in strength, which she did not dare to compare with.
But since we want to take over this castle, we must recruit more members of the clan. And the only two servants who could serve as messengers, or fiancé candidates, died honorably at the hands of the devil. Fortunately, the browser magic stone is still usable. I can contact my father through forums and other applications and ask him to send enough people.
Before those manpower is in place, Dorothy must strengthen the castle's defense on her own. In addition to ensuring that no ordinary people would wander in by mistake, we also had to guard against those members of the Church of God who came upon the news and claimed to be the righteous party.
Looking back at the old castle standing in the dark night, the excitement at the beginning passed, and Dorothy realized that she had so many things to do that she wanted to run away. He sighed helplessly, maybe he shouldn't have said such big words just now and let those two annoying people seek death. Now you don’t have to do everything yourself.
Seeing that the Devil King and his entourage had disappeared into the night, Dorothy closed the door of the castle. There are so many things going on, but the time at night is limited.
Back in the town, the same twilight atmosphere did not dissipate from the town as the vampire forces occupying the castle were destroyed. It was late at night, and the already unpopular road was completely silent. Lin and others returned to the hotel. The closed door represented the people inside, who seemed not to think they could come back alive. Or maybe it's because the group of people who went to piss off the vampire lord came out from here, and they were worried that there would be more dire consequences.
Fin kicked the door open. The two wooden boards, which were already crumbling, suddenly fell to the ground with a clang. The shopkeeper who was standing behind the bar on the first floor held a short wooden stick in a frightened manner and made a defensive gesture. He took a closer look and saw that they were not the evil stars he had imagined. "You...you came back alive?"
"Yes." Lin, who was let down, said. If that big shot was allowed to speak, I don't know how bad things would get. Therefore, when dealing with small people, it is the master and the apprentice who take the initiative.
After comforting the shop owner, Lin said: "Don't worry, we have taken care of the affairs of Muye Castle. No one will come to trouble you because of our relationship."
He looked at the person entering the door with suspicion. This group of people didn't look like people who were defeated and escaped in embarrassment. On the contrary, there are big and small bags, and it seems to be a fruitful harvest. The owner could not imagine what they had gone through, nor could he imagine what had happened to the castle. The only thing that was wrong was that the only man in the group used his staff as a crutch and slowly came to the front.
"Is the room we are going to rest in ready?" Lin tried his best to put on a kind smile. The reason why I don't say that I killed all the vampires is because that statement may not be trustworthy.
Secondly, there will be another group of vampire forces that will settle in that castle...so it is meaningless to discuss whether the old forces have been killed. Furthermore, Lin also had no way of knowing how people from Dorothy's clan would treat this small town. Just know one thing, it shouldn't be any worse than it is now. It should be...
Early the next morning, the group left the town. A man who originally wanted to stay in bed was carried and thrown onto the bed of the truck, keeping company with the crowd of people. Fin sat in the driver's seat with the container containing the unspeakable object. She directed the horses pulling the cart without using a whip. She gave a shout and the horses walked away obediently. Two girls were leading the way on horseback, so Fen still focused on her programming career.
However, the girls were a little confused by the request to leave in a hurry. Halumi used the magic of animal talking to easily command the horses, came to the side of the carriage, and asked: "Teacher, what we did yesterday was a good thing, right?"
It was difficult to rest on the bumpy truck bed, so Lin could only try to make himself as comfortable as possible. Regarding the apprentice's question, as if to kill time, he replied: "Probably. After all, those vampires don't seem to be good people."
"Then why did we leave so early as if we were running away."
In fact, leaving so early was the request of the lich. But it's not that Lin couldn't understand. He said: "The atmosphere in that place is too depressing, and it's not comfortable to stay there. So if you want to leave, I don't have any objections, so I'll just leave."
"But we finally helped them get rid of those evil vampires. Why don't we help them more?"
"Why do you want to help?" Lin asked back, and then said: "The so-called God helps those who help themselves. If you want to get help, you must first have the idea of asking for help. But they don't. And our intention to get rid of those vampires is actually ...Well, it was just a magic experiment. Although it is cruel to say that, the reason why so many lives were lost was just for the magic experiment, but those people deserved it. But this matter has nothing to do with helping the townspeople. Any relationship.”
"But judging from the results, have we helped them?"
"Good intentions may not necessarily bring good results. Remember this sentence. If your self-righteous good intentions are actually not needed by others, will you definitely be able to get good rewards? Don't imagine that human nature is too beautiful. More Besides, no one knows what the sudden change will bring to that small town. So the best option for Mingzhe to protect himself is to leave early."
Halumi asked in confusion: "What will happen?"
"For example, there is a huge boulder in a calm lake. If you do nothing, the lake will remain calm as usual. But what if you suddenly remove the boulder? What will happen?"
"The water will create whirlpools to fill the place where the stone was lost." After thinking about it carefully, Halumi asked: "Teacher, do you mean that the town will be in chaos?"
"I don't know, but it could happen, right?"
"Is there no way to stop it?"
"Does killing them all count?"
The girl is speechless...
