Mount and Blade

Green stood up at the side, and he saw the whole fight between the two.

It was eerily quiet in the jungle. No one appeared again, and the eyes that looked up and down disappeared. Madwu Xiu gave the Shadow Hands in dark gray fur a look, and they disappeared into the night, chasing the entourage of the usurper.

"...Let's go."

The conflict just now seemed to be just an ordinary episode. After the battle, Madwuxiu took Green and continued moving forward.

They walked through a dense forest for almost half the night, climbed over the back of a hill, and arrived at a relatively secluded manor.

There, a mysterious figure is waiting for them. Green had no idea who this mysterious figure was or what exactly they wanted from him.

It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that there were only anonymous tombstones in the low fence surrounded by wooden sticks.

Under the moonlight, only the wooden house was lit by dim candlelight. Madwuxiu knocked on the wooden door rhythmically, once twice and three times frequently. As a girl about Green's age opened the door, leaving a gap, Madwuxiu took Green and walked in.

After entering the wooden house, the smell of old wood products hits your nostrils. The candlelight in the room was dim and could only vaguely illuminate the surrounding environment. The square bookshelves and heavy books around were well taken care of by the owner.

The girl silently guided them into the living room holding a candlestick and motioned for them to sit down.

It's just that Madwuxiu doesn't seem to have any intention of staying here for too long.

"...The child that the man brought was him."

"I see..." The person sitting in the shadow let out a sigh.

Only then did Green notice that there was another person in the darkness.

Madwu Xiu and the old man bowed slightly to the man and then stood aside.

"Welcome, Green." The man in the shadow said, his voice low and magnetic, "I am Hohenheim. You must have heard my name."

Green was shocked. Of course he had heard of this name. Hohenheim was the Jodak spy mentioned in the intelligence, and he had been lurking in Grant for seven years.

"Kadi has already told me about the task assigned to you." Hohenheim continued, "Based on your performance in prison, I believe you are qualified for this special task."

Green hesitated. He didn't know what performance Hohenheim was referring to, but he saw the enthusiasm and expectation in Hohenheim's eyes.

...There seems to be a bad premonition.

"I hope you can sneak into the "Fire Dragon's Lair" and collect intelligence for us." Hohenheim's eyes fell on Green, as if he was examining him.

Green's heart tightened. "Fire Dragon's Lair" is an extremely dangerous place. It not only has powerful warriors, but also has strict defenses.

But he had no room to refuse, because he knew that if he refused, the consequences might be more serious.

"I will try my best to complete the task." Green gritted his teeth and agreed.

Hohenheim nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Cady will tell you the specific details of the operation. Now, you prepare here with me, and Elaine will take you to a resting place."

"Remember, this mission is of great importance. You can only succeed, not fail." Hohenheim opened the underground secret room hidden behind the bookshelf, and it was still brightly lit below.

It seems that they have no intention of taking off the shackles on themselves. Green stood up slowly and followed the girl named Elaine into the basement with a heavy heart.

There are many small guest rooms in the basement, as well as hay mattresses. Except for some damp and earthy smells, it seems that they can have a good sleep. Further down in the basement, there seems to be a prison and torture area, and the smell of rust is looming.

"Your room is right here." The girl stopped in front of a guest room and lit the torch on the wall outside.

Green was lying on the simple bed, thinking about future plans. This mission was not simple, but he had no choice.

At this time, Ailian, who had just left, walked in again and handed him some food and water.

"Get a good rest, tomorrow will be very hard." Her voice was cold, without any emotion.

Green took the food and ate it silently. He noticed that Elaine had been looking at him, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Why do you want to help me?" Green suddenly asked.

Ailian was stunned for a moment, then returned to her indifference.

"I'm just following orders." After saying that, she turned and left the room, leaving Green alone in the dark to think carefully.

Although he may face a near-death situation, he must seize that glimmer of life and face it bravely! With worries about the future, I fell asleep deeply.

............

Green looked at this space blankly in a world so white that it had no boundaries.

‘…Where have I been? ’

Green couldn't help but wonder, was he dreaming again?

〖...The Son of Prophecy, Green Belligat Pendragon〗

A familiar voice lingers in my ears, is it Him again? But...this time, His voice was very ethereal.

The words left behind came to mind.

〖...Control your original desire, otherwise it will surely become your snare. 〗

Green subconsciously stretched out his hands, trying to grab something, but there seemed to be nothing in front of him. He felt an invisible force pulling him, as if to take him to some unknown place.

As the force guided him, a mysterious door gradually emerged in front of Green's eyes. The door was closed and emitted a faint light.

Green hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to the door. When he reached out and touched the door, a powerful energy instantly surged into his body, causing him to close his eyes involuntarily.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an ancient library. The bookshelf was filled with various precious books, and on the table in the middle, there was a heavy ancient book.

Green approached the ancient book and gently opened the pages, which recorded the secrets of the original desire and the way to restrain it.

Green's eyes were fixed on the ancient book, his eyes wandering between the words, his heart was full of shock and curiosity. The words in the book seemed to have life, they jumped on the paper in front of him, telling him the ancient secrets.

'Restrain the original desire...' Green whispered, his voice echoing in the library, as if talking to these words.

He began to read the contents of the ancient book, and each page brought him new revelations. The book recorded an ancient ritual, through which he could restrain his desires and avoid being swallowed by the madness brought by desire.

As Green read, the atmosphere in the library began to change. The bookshelves around him began to rotate, and the books turned automatically, as if showing Green the danger of not being able to restrain the original desire.
