"Please...please don't kill me...please!"
A guard in black walked out of the stable behind Xantos, holding a young man who was huddled in a ball.
This young man was the young Dick who called Victor uncle and was sent by Victor to clean up the stables. Because he had been hiding in the stables, he was lucky enough to escape the initial indiscriminate attack of the black guards. massacre.
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, please help me!" Being carried by the black-clad guard like a chicken, the young man could only helplessly ask for help from Victor who was lying on the ground.
"Damn it, Jason, this kid is innocent, let him go!" After finally regaining his composure, Victor stood up tremblingly and confronted Jason again.
"Well, I believe you. This child is innocent, which means... this child has no value. Kill him!"
Jason waved his hand as if to shoo away an offending fly.
"Uh-huh!"
With a flash of cold light, the guard in black stabbed Dick's heart with the sword in his hand. However, the thick feeling coming from his palm made him realize that something was wrong. Only then did he realize that his sword was stabbing Dick's heart. The one who was injured was not the young Dick, but the blacksmith Victor who jumped to the rescue.
But even so, the guard in black did not pull the sword out of Victor's body, but continued to thrust forward, stabbing the boy through Victor's body with the sword. However, this blow that was supposed to kill both men with one sword only just knocked the young Dick away.
Along with the boy, there was a large bag of gold coins hidden in his arms.
It turned out that the boy had been huddled up in a ball to cover the large bag of gold coins in his arms. It was those gold coins that blocked the attack of the sword, and the large bag of gold coins was the reward that George originally planned to leave to Victor. .
"Victor, you really have a good apprentice!"
Although the injury of an important hostage gave Jason a headache, it did not affect the continuation of his mission.
Then, Jason chose to ignore Victor, who was bleeding profusely on the side. He turned around gracefully and saluted Xantos solemnly.
"Dear beast, I'm sorry to let you see such a dirty scene, I... No, the villain's name is Jason, and he is a small lieutenant of the Heretic Trial Temple. Please forgive the villain's indiscretion this time. Please come, our deputy palace master would like to invite you to the temple as a guest, please be sure to appreciate it."
Now that it was confirmed that the nightmare beast on the opposite side had the possibility of communication, Jason was not in a hurry. If he could deceive the beast's trust with words alone without spending a single soldier, it would be considered a great achievement.
"What do you want me to do at the Heretic Trial Temple?" Through spiritual magic, Xantos's voice sounded in the brains of every black-clothed guard.
"Please don't worry, because a powerful nightmare beast like you is a symbol of death and fear in the eyes of ordinary people. In order to not disturb the normal life of these ordinary people, we have no choice but to ask you to come to the temple to stay away for a while and wait for us. After preparing the cargo ship, we will send you back to your hometown, the Kaos Empire."
His hands were stained with the blood of ordinary people, but he spoke beautiful words of concern for the country and the people. Even Xantos, who had been a necromancer and was used to seeing mountains of corpses, couldn't help but feel the long-lost feeling at this time. feeling of nausea.
But this play still needs to be performed in cooperation with them.
"If I go with you, will you let these two people go?" Xantos shook his head in the direction of Victor.
"Of course, Victor is my old friend!" Jason rubbed his hands with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Leave us alone, run away...ahem!"
At this moment, the blacksmith Victor spoke. Because his lungs were punctured, a large amount of blood surged up from his throat. His voice was unclear, as weak as the dying cry for help of a drowning person. !
However, such a broken body was still being tortured quietly. Xantos noticed that the young apprentice Dick, who was still helping Victor stop the bleeding, regarded Jason's promise that was obviously a lie as a life-saving straw. In order to prevent his master from continuing to speak, he secretly pressed his fingers on Victor's wound!
"What a selfish and stupid human being!" If it weren't for the wrong timing, Xantos would really like to crush the boy's head right now.
"Then, my dear beast, what are you going to choose? Are you going to follow us or... stay here forever?" After being disrupted by Victor again, Jason's smile gradually took on a hint of murderous intent.
"I choose……"
