The Hearthstone system of a certain American comic

Black Dragon Nightmare sighed, "Your experience is so legendary. You can make up a story for a bard. Becoming friends with a monster? I can't even imagine it."

"She is an intelligent monster, no different from a human being. I don't know what happened to her now. If she is alive, I will save her. If she is dead, then I will kill all the senior officials in the capital to avenge her. "Enkidu gritted his teeth and continued. "But the palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and I don't have the slightest chance to sneak in. Is there anything you can do?"

"I think that since you can't defeat the guardian, don't waste your efforts. Besides, not only the guardian, but the guards alone can consume most of your physical strength. It's hard for you to reach the sky just by yourself." Black Dragon Nightmare analyzed.

"Will you help me?"

The purpose of Enkidu coming here is to hope that the black dragon nightmare can help him.

"Me? If I want to have your strength, then I am willing, but what can I help you now?" Black Dragon Nightmare said. "But to be honest, you do lack manpower. The strength of the capital is nothing more than the fact that there are powerful people and strong men sitting in charge."

Enkidu understood that indeed, if he wanted to fight against the capital alone now, it would undoubtedly be a rock. If he had strong helpers and fought in together, he might be able to make a difference.

However, who is willing to help Enkidu fight against the capital? Enkidu remembered that he had been appointed as the head of the guard group of three thousand people at Kate's place. Three thousand people. It would be a pity if there were three thousand people who obeyed Enkidu's orders now.

"I think you can help me." Enkidu looked at the black dragon nightmare.

"Are you serious?" Black Dragon Nightmare was puzzled. His martial arts were among the best among ordinary people, but compared to Enkidu's martial arts, they were like the flame of a candle compared to the bright moon in the sky, out of reach.

"Yes, even in the fight, you can't help me, but I remember you said that you have more than 20 years of experience as a hunter." Enkidu said.

Black Dragon Nightmare waved his hand hurriedly, "Don't mention that, that is monster hunting experience. This is completely irrelevant. I have no experience in fighting against a country."

"Yeah, how scary a country is, it's natural for you to be afraid. Since you don't want to get involved, I won't force you." Enkidu said.

Black Dragon Nightmare sighed, "I'm not afraid. To be honest, from the moment my wife died, I didn't care about my life or death. Now, alcohol is the only motivation for me to live." He looked at Enkidu and continued, " If you really need me, just speak up and take risks, but don't let your brother die. After all, no matter how bad the world is, there is still wine, right?"

With that said, Black Dragon Nightmare raised the wine bag and drank the last sip of wine.

"I would like to ask a question about martial arts." Enkidu said.

"What? Just ask."

"I told you before about my battle with the Guardian, why his muscles can swell up and knock me away with just one punch. The power is incredible." Enkidu recalled that power , still fearful, that punch could not only knock him away, but also hit Ines in front of him.

"That's only one possibility." Black Dragon Nightmare collected the food remnants on the ground, rolled them up in a piece of cloth, and continued, "He is the cursed one."

"The Cursed?"

"That's right, don't you know? There are some cursed ores scattered in this world, called cursed stones. They have all kinds of terrible abilities. If you eat them and digest them, you can gain their abilities. It's just a curse. The stone is like a rare thing, it is rare to encounter it. Even if someone encounters it, they don't know it is a cursed ore. Who would bite a stone without any trouble?" Black Dragon Nightmare said. "Long Yi, he must have eaten a cursed stone related to strength."

"Is it possible that he built the muscles? If I keep exercising every day, can I achieve that strength?" Enkidu asked.

"It is easy to judge whether a person is cursed, because when the cursed person uses the cursed ability at full strength or continues to use it, his body temperature will rise and steam will emit steam. This is what every cursed person has to do. It's inevitable." Black Dragon Nightmare said.

"I see."

Enkidu suddenly thought of someone, the crazy girl in Kate's camp. Now he finally understood why the girl was steaming when she fell down during the race at that time. He remembered the moment he hit her heart in order to save her. The fist was even burned. It seemed that the girl was the one cursed by speed.

Enkidu thought again that he could run as fast as the girl despite not having the power of the curse. Could it be that he was already cursed? Just don't know it?

No, Enkidu immediately rejected this possibility. He had never been exposed to high-temperature steam.

"The guardian Long Yi is an unparalleled strong man. He is so strong, but he is still a cursed person. He has super powers. If you fight against him, your chances of winning are really slim." Black Dragon Nightmare sighed. "So, leave the capital and listen to my advice."

"Where can I get the Cursed Stone?" Enkidu asked.

"Do you think it's easy? Otherwise, why don't I have any powers after twenty-four years?" Black Dragon Nightmare asked.

"By the way, that thing you said is called the cursed stone?" Enkidu suddenly asked.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Enkidu's heart moved. Ines had said before that she wanted to go back to the previous cave to get the cursed stone and let him eat it.

Enkidu didn't understand what the Cursed Stone meant at that time, and he forgot about it within a few days. But now that Black Dragon Nightmare repeatedly mentioned the word Cursed Stone, it reminded him of it again.

"I may know where the cursed stone is." Enkidu said.

"Are you serious?" Black Dragon Nightmare asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure, it might be in the cave where Ines and I first met." Enkidu said.

Black Dragon Nightmare's eyes flashed with light, and he stood up. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go together?"

"Are you going too?" Enkidu asked.

"Of course, I have been coveting the Cursed Stone for a long time." After Black Dragon Nightmare finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and added with a smile, "I just want to see what the Cursed Stone looks like, but I'm not interested in eating it. Don’t want to chew a rock.”

After Enkidu and Black Dragon Nightmare packed up and changed their equipment, they walked out of the capital city and walked towards the small town where Sanf was located, because Enkidu remembered that his horse was parked there.

Enkidu knew that Sanfu didn't have many people. He betrayed him and he had not yet settled the accounts with him.

on the other hand.

Sanf was watering the flowers in the garden. These days, he was no longer worried all the time. He knew that he had been suspected by the capital and suspected that he was the mastermind behind the assassination of the king.

When he learned that Enki was dead, he became even more worried. He was watering the flowers. This was a job that a servant should do, but he was doing it himself.

Because he hoped that Harun, who stayed to supervise him, could see him working hard. He hoped that Harun would say a few good words about him and praise him for his diligence when he returned to the main city of the capital. In this way, maybe the king would be able to put aside his opposition. His doubts.

"It's so fun, are you watering the flowers?" Harlan's voice appeared behind Sanf.

Sanfu turned around and put on a kind smile on his old face, "He's just working. The servants responsible for watering the flowers, they are too tired. I'll give them a few days off and I'll water them for them."

"It's true. I leave government affairs to my cronies, but I am doing low-level work here. I really don't understand your old thinking." Harlan said with a smile.

Sanfu laughed dryly and said sophistry, "Flowers are also life. How can it be considered a low-level job? Don't let the flower waterer feel cold."

Harlan sneered and said, "I have heard of your old sophistry for a long time, and I have seen it today."

"Young man, since there are deceitful people, there must be a reason for it." Sanfu pretended to be profound.

Harlan sneered and stopped talking.

At this time, a servant came forward and reported to Sanfu, "Sir, there are two masked men knocking on the door outside, saying that they want to see you no matter what."

"Hiding your face?" Sanf asked.

"Yes." The servant replied.

"What color is your hair?" Sanf asked.

"Both are black," the servant replied.

Sanf's heart skipped a beat. Although people with black hair were not rare, they were definitely not many. He knew in his heart that Enkidu might be among these two people.

Sweat dripped down Sanfu's face. He warned, "Don't let them come in. If you cover your face, they are definitely not good people. Hurry up and ask people to guard the corridor."

"Wait a minute." Harun suddenly interrupted Sanf's instructions. "I think we can let them in, with their faces covered, and they may not be bad people. Besides, there are only two of them. You are a famous wizard. No one in the entire capital is afraid of you. How could anyone dare to offend you?"

"You are too flattering to me. If I haven't reached that point yet, the only one who has reached this point is our guardian Long Yi. We can't compare to Long Yi."

"Guardian, with a muscle stone, its power is worthy of anyone in the entire continent, but without that cursed stone, it may not be more powerful than your old witchcraft, right?" Harlan smiled. said.

Sanf was shocked. Harlan's words were very disrespectful to the Guardian. He also mentioned himself in the words, trying to drag him into being disrespectful. He hurriedly said, "Young man, please don't talk nonsense. The Guardian represents He is the soul of our entire capital, and I am just the lord of a small city. If I am really better than him, why didn’t I become a guardian?"

Harlan smiled, "But not everyone is a guardian. There can't be one who is more powerful than your witchcraft, right? It's better to know those two masked men. What if something big happens?"

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound, the garden door was kicked open, and two masked men rushed in. One of the masked men held a broad sword and ran towards Harun quickly, while the other held a pair of swords and covered the ground with lightning speed. Ear's momentum rushed towards Sanfu.

These two masked men are none other than Black Dragon Nightmare and Enkidu.

Sanfu didn't react slowly. When he saw Enkidu mentioning that he was charging towards him, he drew a seal in the air. He was about to recite a spell, but before he finished reciting the incantation, he was kicked to the ground by Enkidu.

"Ouch!" Sanf's witchcraft was interrupted. He clutched his chest and looked at Enkidu with a heavy breath.

"Sanfu, we meet again." Enkidu said calmly.

On the other side, Black Dragon Nightmare was fighting fiercely with Harlan. Harlan's moves were fierce. Every move was aimed at Black Dragon Nightmare's one eye, which was about to blind Black Dragon Nightmare's other eye. But Black Dragon Nightmare was not that good. The person he was dealing with had been a wandering hunter for twenty-four years. He was very experienced in fighting and could always fend off Harlan's sword at critical moments.

Enkidu put the knife on Sanfu's neck to prevent him from chanting the curse, and sat down to watch the battle between Black Dragon Nightmare and Harlan. Once he found that Black Dragon Nightmare was at a disadvantage, he immediately cut Sanfu's neck and absolutely killed him. He put his worries aside and went to assist Black Dragon Nightmare.

But he saw the Black Dragon Nightmare swinging away Harlan's long sword again, then turning the sword and raising it towards Harlan's crotch.

Harlan never expected that Black Dragon Nightmare would make such an attack. He placed his long sword across the road to block, but he felt a chill in his lower body, and a sharp pain rushed into his mind. He could no longer stand and fell down with a "plop".

Harlan fainted from the pain, and blood slowly flowed from his crotch, infecting the soil.

Black Dragon Nightmare turned around, smiled at Enkidu and said, "It's solved. Sure enough, the famous saying in the Hunter's Law is correct, it's called 'victory by surprise'.

At this moment, the only conscious people in the garden were Enkidu, Sanfu, and Black Dragon Nightmare. The servant who had been responsible for reporting earlier had been scared away.

"Sanfu, you have been restrained by me now. There is no one else nearby. Just tell me." Enkidu stared at Sanfu on the ground indifferently.

"Say, what are you talking about? I have no choice but to do so." Sanfu had a grimace on his face. "They came suddenly that day. I couldn't spare the time to inform you, so I had to pretend not to know and lead them to catch you. You were going to be caught anyway, so why don't you implicate me as well?"

"You could have helped me, and we would have killed them together, and then wiped out all traces of the corpses. Wouldn't you be fine? But out of selfishness, you chose the smallest risk and ignored me." Enkidu said.

"Counterattack? Have you never thought about it? I, together with you, should have been able to defeat Long Mingfei and several of his guards, but what state were you in at that time? I think you can't even stand still. , He couldn't even defeat three of his men, and he killed them all." Sanfu didn't complain, he continued, "If I had jumped back at that time, I would have been defeated by Long Mingfei just like you. Are you satisfied if I give him a head? I won’t say anything anymore, I’ve already explained it, you can kill or behead me as you wish.”

After Sanf said this, his eyes squinted at Enkidu's expression, which showed that he didn't want to die yet.

Enkidu felt that Sanfu's explanation just now was quite reasonable. At that time, his kidneys were weak, and even if Sanfu changed sides, he had no chance of winning.

Sanf is the only wizard Enkidu has met so far, and Enkidu is not willing to kill him.

Enkidu suddenly thought that Sanfu was a capable person who could detoxify insects. If he wanted to go back to the cave south, he would very likely encounter the white worm again.

"I won't kill you, but you have to sacrifice your life for me." Enkidu said.

"Oh, I seem to have no choice." Sanfu sighed.

"Yes." Enkidu took the knife away from Sanfu's neck and put it back into its sheath.

Sanf got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body. He really had no choice, not only because of Enkidu's threat, but also because he was already suspected by the capital. Now if Harun sent by the capital If he dies here, the suspicion will be deepened. When the time comes, it will be a small matter for him to be removed as the city lord, but losing his head will be a big deal. It is better to follow Enkidu and fly away.
