Blood of Mercury

Akakaji Hana's mood was very complicated at this time.

This is the first time he has killed innocent people outside of his mission, and the first time he has caused a massacre.

Before starting, Akakajihua still made a lot of plans in her heart: what if she encounters a strong person who cannot be solved quickly, what if these people kill herself together, what if someone finds out their purpose and gets rid of them What to do with the bandage on yourself. But when he actually started, he realized that these preparations were meaningless.

These Kalars kept in greenhouses are too fragile and too cowardly.

About 80% of them have never seen a dead person, and very few have come down from the front line. Just being frightened by Akakaji Hana, they didn't even dare to move.

After making so many preparations, she found that her opponent was completely useless... For a time, Chikaji Flower felt powerless as she punched cotton.

In fact, now that I think about it, it's a matter of course.

This is the edge of the disaster area, where the slightly injured are placed for rehabilitation. Unlike the central area where the ground collapsed and the houses collapsed on a large scale, in addition to the injured, the rest of the people here are either residents nearby, or “rescuers” who dare not go or are too lazy to go to the center of the disaster area. ".

They are people transferred from the surrounding cities. But they were afraid that there was a devil in the center of the disaster area, or that there was a possibility of another collapse, or that they didn't want to use their energy to save people, so they spent time chatting in this marginal area where there was basically nothing to do.

If they are tired from standing, they will also shovel around with shovels, or walk around behind other workers like ghosts for a few laps, showing a gesture of "I am working", and rubbing "disaster rescuers". "achievement. Even if none of them were rescued, they were still dangling to block the way for those who were really saving people.

Now people with real courage and perseverance are saving people in the central area. Those who will be lazy and run to the periphery are basically not powerful characters that are threatening. In the face of Akakaji Flower's threat, of course they wanted to resist, but as soon as that thought appeared, it was immediately suppressed.

Of course, this has something to do with the "character image" created by Akakaji Flower.

Akakaji Hana didn't want to lose her whole life here. Even if he doesn't die. He should at least give his parents and younger brother a little face. If word got out that he had killed hundreds of people, how would they behave? If the families of the victims find them, what will happen to their parents and younger brothers?

Akakaji flower dare not gamble. He didn't even dare to die in his own name, he could only use someone else's identity.

His role as "Crazy Veteran" wasn't made out of thin air. This is a man he once killed who made a deal with the devil.

That man was a lucky veteran who had fought in seven battles, had been on the front lines three times and was still physically intact. when discharged from the army. He eventually received four medals and a hereditary knighthood and a large estate in recognition of his outstanding achievements.

The veteran was not content with that. He thinks he's insulted, he thinks he can still fight - but the truth is, his hair is more than half grey and his skin has age spots. lost elasticity.

He longed for the blood of the enemy, and deeply missed the touch of tearing the enemy's body with the Kalal slashing sword. In addition to the fact that his wife had died of illness and his children had also died in battle, he had no attachment to the world - so the soldier fell naturally. He signed a contract with the devil, hoping to regain the vitality of the young man and return to his beloved battlefield.

Like everyone else, he was deceived.

Veterans get only "vigor". Vibrant vitality surged in his body, and he couldn't sleep night after night, but his bones were still slender and fragile, his skin still lost its elasticity, and his hair was dry. It was very difficult to hold his sword.

So he went crazy.

In his madness, he seemed to have performed some forbidden ritual. In the end, he killed the projection of the devil with mysterious power, and successfully regained the ownership of his soul. But since then, the will of that veteran has also been twisted, from a warrior seeking honor to a brutal artist seeking beauty.

At that time, Akakajika received the task of killing the devil, but only after arriving did he find that the devil was killed by the veteran, and the veteran had degenerated into some kind of monster that was no worse than the devil-he had a lot in his mind. The tentacles swaying like Kwai, and his eyes have become snake eyes.

In a witcher's sense, Akakaji Hana killed him in the wild and buried him.

And with the consciousness of a junior. Akakajika did not tell the other villagers what kind of terrifying monster this veteran was, nor did he reveal his identity as a devil believer, so that the veteran finally retained his reputation and was honored as a hero.

Akakaji Hana used his image. It was his tone of voice, and the weapon he left behind at that time. Therefore, using any identity-recognizing prophecy magic on this disguised image will only get the information of the veteran in the end.

According to ordinary people's thinking, few people would think that a person who uses Karal's military swordsmanship so smoothly would be a warrior of another country. Akakajika has no doubt that her true identity will not be revealed.

But what troubled him was that he realized it. There was a strong sense of joy in my heart.

When using that veteran identity, Akakajika seemed to be possessed by that veteran. For the first time, Akakaji Hana felt some kind of pleasure when she killed someone.

After confirming that her fake news had been left behind, Akakajika didn't speak any more, so she killed all the way silently, aiming directly at the center of the disaster area... or, in other words, aiming at Marquis Saya.

On the other hand, Roland had followed Kakarit to find Joseph.

When he saw Joseph again, the killing intent in Roland's heart was already clear.

Although Joseph looked very low-key and silent, Roland clearly saw a flash of surprise in Joseph's eyes.

He shouldn't be emotional.

There is no doubt that the wounds in Joseph's brain have been healed by someone. Roland very clearly saw a sharp light flashing away in Joseph's eyes.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly and asked casually, "Joseph, where are our gold coins?"

"Your Highness, at your feet."

Joseph's head was lowered, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he said expressionlessly: "Inspired by the teacher, I hid gold and silver coins in the cemetery here. There are in every coffin."

Roland nodded knowingly, showing a gentle smile: "You did a great job, Joseph. I bless you in the name of my mentor."

Joseph nodded silently, with no expression on his face.

"...Now, I'm going to give you a new task. And Kakarite, come here too."

Roland's face became serious: "I once destroyed the city of wealth at the will of my mentor. This is what you know."

Joseph and Kakarit nodded.

They started following Roland at that time, of course they knew about it.

Roland took a deep breath and continued: "But, as you know, there is one last existence in the city of wealth that has not been obliterated."

"—The Tree of Suffering."

Kakarit answered immediately.

Roland nodded: "Exactly."

"The instructor's order is to 'guide all life into eternal sleep, and regenerate the sinful city from the ashes'," said Roland with a deep sigh, "I hope for your help."

"As you wish."

Without hesitation, Kakarit agreed. Although Joseph did not express his position, because he "should not have opinions in theory", Roland didn't even look at him, and just continued: "From this point on, I want to apologize to you, because this was originally my job. I repent of my laziness and all my other sins."

"You don't have to."

Kakarit replied with awe: "You are the representative of the mentor, the glory of walking on the ground. It is our honor to share your worries for you."

"That's right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Joseph had no choice but to answer.

Roland smiled happily.

He nodded with satisfaction and said to the two of them: "Then, in order to ensure that the action is safe, Joseph, you go to investigate the information of the tree of suffering. We will meet you at the west gate of the city of wealth in two days, pay attention to your own Safety, safety first."

"Yes."

"Kakarit, you go to the Great White Wolf Cemetery with me first. I'm going there to get something."

"As you wish."

Roland's expression gradually softened, and then he said something that surprised Kakarit and Joseph: "This matter means a lot to me. If this operation goes well, I will bring you Ring, put on the shoulder strap."

Roland showed a gentle smile to the two of them: "I think...I need a few cardinals to share the work for me." (To be continued.)
