Lord of terror

"...Okay, I am willing. However, you should know that I can know what is happening to my shadow, and he has already agreed. I will not deceive you, and you still have to take this stranger who has only lived for two years People's decision, come to bet with me who grew up with you? This is a game that must be lost."

"I bet."

"Okay then. Let's unravel the mystery."

Kunz was sitting on the steps, and John was kneeling not far in front of him, yes, kneeling, and holding Kunz's left ankle, crying with tears all over his face.

The moment he saw the torch rising from below, Kunz turned and ran.He couldn't beat John, even if John was weakened, he couldn't beat him, it wasn't that he saw himself clearly, it was the fact.But he knows that as long as he lasts enough time, the captain will come to save his dog's life _(:з」∠)_, so the best choice to save his life is of course to escape.

What protagonist can leapfrog the challenge?Does not exist, he is not the main character.

But John's huge body was terribly flexible. Holding the torch, he abandoned the steps and climbed up from the middle pillar with only one hand, like a ferocious giant ape. His flames flung him across the face, but his flames were like tiny sparks on a stone, and died out in an instant, not even hurting John's beard and hair.

He pulled out his long sword and was slapped flying.

Just like the ordinary people on Blue Star, facing a wild Siberian tiger, they have no power to resist.

Kunz could only think about how to protect his head, face and heart as much as possible when he was beaten. Butler J is also trying his best to comfort him [the world has severed finger regeneration technology, even if it is cut into human pigs, there is still hope. 】

[...] Thank you, it's strange if I was comforted to...

But an accident happened. When Kunz shrunk into a ball while protecting his head and fell to the ground, John did not slap his bones, but knelt down and said, "Let me tell you about my home, Your lord. I have introduced to you that I am the grandson of the magma mage Roman Felt and the youngest son of Alec Felt, the Duke of Burning. I have great ancestors and still great father, but my father has Six wives, 37 sons, I am neither his firstborn nor the son he cares most about..."

Whether or not Kunz wanted to hear the words, he was relieved to be able to beep without making a move, which worked in his favor.He sat up carefully, but that foot could not be retracted.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"!" He said it wouldn't hurt, but John's eyes still startled Kunz.

"Please sit up, find a comfortable position, let's talk slowly. We want the captain to leave, but the captain is still my boss. If I kill you, I will not feel better. I want to go back to Van Vatina, I’m not looking for death, I just hope that you can also refuse the captain. Don’t get me wrong, the captain’s problem has been solved, and your papermaking skills have been sold for a rich enough price. The captain’s refusal to go back now is just acting out of anger.”

"..."

"You have lived with the captain for two years. You should know that he is actually arrogant and self-willed. After all, children who grow up being valued and praised are like that. Unlike us... we grew up looking at people with winks, I Your living conditions may be better than yours. After all, I was born in wedlock, but fortunately, you never need to have redundant fantasies. Once, when I was a child, it cost me a lot of money to completely destroy that fantasies. cost."

"You've worked hard..." Kunz said boldly.

John continued, crying at the same time: "I no longer expect the attention of my family. I just want to live a good life. I have a wife and four children. The youngest was six years old when I left. I returned with papermaking skills. When I was in Fan Watina, I didn't even dare to look at them. I was afraid that my wife had already married another child with me, and I was even more afraid of seeing them poor and bullied. I need to go back, and I need to take the captain with me Go back together, you should understand me, right?"

Kunz nodded, he didn't ask why John didn't bring his wife and children to Monrophy, the answer was obvious.It's similar to the fact that someone's immediate boss in his work department was suddenly dispatched to Africa, and his younger brother was also dispatched together.All of them can go back as long as their immediate superiors give in, and even if they don't get reinstated, they can still get decent jobs.Then of course the younger brother will try his best to persuade the boss to apologize.

Especially John and family...

"I...understand you." Kunz sighed and really understood, "Parents always want the best for their children."

"Yes!" John tried his best to smile, because his face was full of snot, so it was a bit ridiculous, "Also, we won't do anything to hurt the captain! We... Keeper of the Light, how great it sounds. But actually entering There are three types of people who keep the light, one is born as a commoner, and this is the culmination of his life. The other is the youngest son of a minor noble or a big noble, who either enters the army, a major church, or joins the keeper of the light. Xie Er Foo hasn’t fought a large-scale war for hundreds of years, and the army has no chance to stand out. To enter the church...you have to give up everything in the world and lose most of your freedom, so we are forced to join the Keeper of the Light.”

"If you grew up in Fanvatina, you should also choose to become the Keeper of the Light. That is our best choice. And the last one to enter the Keeper of the Light is the outstanding heirs of noble families. Their own abilities Of course, there is no doubt that they are excellent, and the Keeper of the Light will give them more resources. The captain of each team is like that. Although we players are not the captain's followers or servants, our identities are actually similar. When the captain Leaving the Keeper of the Light to inherit the title, we can also gain a small place to stay."

"A knight of a grand duke is completely different from a knight of a baron. Uh... the situation of Belton Monroe only appears in such a safe and barren place."

"So don't worry about the captain, he'll be fine. He's just... having a temper tantrum with some powerful people in the empire. But now that the papermaking technology has allowed His Majesty the Emperor to come forward in person, those powerful people won't target the captain anymore , what the captain needs now is just a step for him to go back."

John grabbed Kunz's feet with both hands, and Kunz's grip hurt a little, but the pain also allowed Kunz to maintain his sanity—he was covered in goose bumps all over his body now, and the long-lost sense of social fear spread in every cell.Some kind of instinct made him want to scream and kick John, then shrink back as far as the corner could go.

"He needs a step... Your lord, you know that the captain is an arrogant person. He can't bear to run back in despair as soon as he is called..." He looked at Kunz longingly, his eyes radiated light , Kunz lowered his head and looked at his ankle, and John didn’t care who Kunz looked at, “If you expel him, the whole Scherfer will have no place for him, he can only go back to Fanvatina! Don’t worry He resents you because of this, who would resent you? Even the captain, he wants to return to Van Vatina, and he will also be grateful to you!"

"Really? Will the captain appreciate me?"

"Of course! For sure!"

"The captain is the one who saved my life. As long as the captain is happy, I will do anything."

"That would be great! You... I will send you out of this space right now, but before that, you have to swear."

"swear?"

"Yes, you swear, you will expel the captain, swear by your own soul, if you break the oath, you will be dragged into the abyss by the demons, sinking in pain and despair."

"I swear on my own soul, if I do something to displease the captain..."

"No, you swear to expel him!" John interrupted Kunz, the snot and tears had dried up on his face, and when he roared, his face was distorted and hideous.

[Butler J, about my soul, have you ever snatched the god here? 】

[Generally speaking... you can't grab it. 】

【…】

"Okay... I swear by my own soul, I will expel the captain, otherwise I will be dragged into the abyss by the devil, sinking in pain and despair." It is definitely not a psychological effect. After making the oath, Kunz really felt His body sank, as if something invisible was entwined.

This is a world where you can't swear casually, because the oath will come true.

John breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kunz with a smile, and let go of the hand that had been holding Kunz's ankle.The next moment, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and Kunz sat down on the soft woolen carpet. Moria was wrapped in a layer of light, and the only moving eyeball glanced at him.John also appeared obliquely behind Kunz, and once he appeared, he knelt down on one knee in silence.

The moment he saw his surroundings clearly, Kunz jumped up and stood on the side of the window sill where the captain was sitting: "Captain, I will expel you."

Moria and John looked at the captain with smiles.

In the next second, Kunz: "Captain, I welcome you. Monroe welcomes you forever. My territory always welcomes you!"

After finishing speaking, Kunz patted his chest, the feeling of restraint disappeared when he said expulsion.When I said welcome again, it really didn't show up: "It's okay, okay."

The smiles on Moria's and John's faces couldn't hold up immediately, and John accused angrily: "Don't you know shame?!"

"Those who force others to swear against their will are shameless! I have fulfilled my promise and have not been punished, which means I am right." Kunz retorted back confidently. He didn't look at John at all, and only looked at the captain. the back of the head.

He seemed guilty, which made John even more angry, but the captain was here, and he didn't even dare to take a step.

Moria spoke: "Your lord, you have made great achievements in papermaking, but the captain left Fanvatina because he rejected Prince Yatesina's favor. And this time he will not go The one who refused was His Majesty's offer of favor. In the last empire-wide expulsion, some people sympathized with the captain. But this time, his refusal will arouse everyone's resentment. You, who don't let him go back, will also Become the object of hostility from other nobles, do you really want to do this?"

"I don't rely on other nobles to survive until now, I rely on the captain."

"Is that why you want to keep him? You are so selfish. Perhaps it is also because of this that the captain can establish a friendship with you so quickly? You are all selfish people."

Fearing MAX, Kunz had a manic attack, grabbed the wine jug on the small coffee table, turned around and splashed the two people on their faces: "Selfish NMB!" After going out for most of the time, the normal consciousness returned, and Kunz realized that this kind of scolding did not make the two people feel any discomfort, but made them laugh at it.

Kunz turned around and came back in two steps, put the jug away, and grabbed the captain's hand.

team leader:"???"

"Captain, I will build you the most beautiful house, the most beautiful clothing and jewelry. There will be no less styles that you have seen and like, and there will be no less styles that you have not seen but must like!"

"……OK."

"Monrofei will be more brilliant than Fanvatina! More brilliant! More beautiful! You like to sit on the window sill and watch the sun. In the future, we will build a big sky garden. You can enjoy the prosperity and sunshine all year round. "Isn't it building a spectacle?Holding the thigh of the fourth natural disaster, no wonder can be built.

The captain raised his other hand and touched——Kuntz lowered his head, he was no longer a child. After two years of growth, the captain could no longer touch his head while sitting on the window sill—head: "Okay, I'm looking forward to the beautiful hanging garden."

The captain seemed to be comforting an angry child, and he patted Kunz on the cheek again: "Okay, let's go downstairs. It should be fine this time. It won't be long before the two of them will leave .The keepers of the light can't kill each other, they betrayed me, but as long as they don't serve the devil, I can't kill them."

The captain glanced at Kunz: "You can't not rescue them when you know that other people are going to kill them."

It took Kunz a beat to realize that the captain was saying that he had to stop the captain if he wanted to.

"..." Did the captain mistakenly think that he was going to kill these two people secretly?

Kunz was a little flustered when he thought of killing someone. Even from the day Butler J opened his mouth to assign the task, Kunz had already prepared to kill someone in his heart, but it still feels different when he is ready to actually do it.

"I haven't killed anyone yet, and I... I don't want them to be the ones I killed first, after all, they were both my teachers. Captain, I'm leaving. See you at noon."

"See you at noon."

Kunz went downstairs. The stairs in the north tower were normal this time. He went downstairs smoothly and walked directly to the castle hall. From there, he could go straight to the town hall as soon as possible.

In the castle hall, there was a servant squatting on the ground and scrubbing the ground. He was very thin and his clothes were tattered and dirty. He should be some child.

Kunz's eyes just passed over him, and then he looked at the door.His footsteps were crisp and brisk, and he didn't stop for even a second.

The child wiping the floor was lying on the ground, his hand and the rag were almost the same color.

It felt like the kid was about to wipe the road where Kunz was going. Instead of speeding up, Kunz took two steps to the other side, ready to go around.

"My lord." The child suddenly spoke, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't articulate.

Kunz stopped, and at the same time took a step back, a little further away from the child: "What's the matter?"

"I just... want to thank you." The child stood up, with his head held high, white worms crawling around in his dirty hair, his two blue eyes were bloodshot, and he opened his mouth with difficulty When speaking, there are only a few crooked teeth in the exposed mouth.

Kunz looked a little familiar with this face, but with the number of living people in Monroe, he was familiar with everyone.

"You're welcome." Kunz nodded, "You can go to your work."

The child clenched the rag tightly and put his hands between his belly. Kunz felt that his rag was torn from his clothes, and Kunz felt something was wrong.

The child took a step forward: "I have something I want to give you, in return for your care of me, and my thanks to you."

Kunz also backed away, keeping a comfortable distance for him: "It's good that you have this intention, but the gift is unnecessary, you should keep it for yourself."

"I am not qualified to use this gift, please accept this gift." The child took another step forward.

Kunz backed away again, he was an idiot and knew something was wrong with the kid.

【You'd better go quickly, your relative Beier Dong is hiding behind a door, and is about to rush...】

"Kuntz! My nephew! Miss your uncle?!"

"Ah!" The child screamed and fell to the ground, while Beierdong was already striding towards Kunz, swinging a chair leg in his hand, with two bullets on one end of the chair leg nail.

Kunz turned around and ran. Bei Dong didn't run fast. After all, he was also suppressed. Seeing that Kunz was about to run out of the door, Bei Dong chased after the child lying on the ground.Seeing that he could not catch up with Kunz, the angry Beierdong kicked the child who fell on the ground and flew out.

The child's scream made Kunz turn his head. He was still a few steps away from the door, but...

[Send a task to Wan Dian! 】

Flames emerged from his fingertips, turned into fireballs and flew in front of Beier Dong.

The fireball that exploded suddenly caused Beier Dong to back away with his eyes closed, but he had a smug smile on his face, after all, Kunz was back.Swinging the legs of the chair, after standing still, Bell East rushed towards Kunz again.

Kunz draws his sword, he has fought goblins too often, just think of Beldon as a giant goblin.Kunz's giant sword, answer it!The chair legs were cut off.But the chair leg was just a false move, while Bell East slashed, his body turned sideways, and his huge body bumped towards Kunz.

With no time to dodge, Kunz staggered his feet on the ground and changed to a forward lunge, so as to resist the opponent's impact as much as possible.

Even after being imprisoned in the dungeon for a period of time, Belton, who didn't eat well or drink well, was still very big, like a falling wall, knocking Kunz squarely.

Kunz stepped back, and then... held on?

He could feel the strength of the collision, but this strength was not the catastrophe he imagined.

Kunz, who saw Belton and wanted to avoid it, realized at this moment that the opponent was not as strong as he imagined, and he himself was not as defenseless as he once thought.

At the moment of holding on, Kunz slammed his foot hard and kicked Beierdong's knee!

Beierdong was also a little surprised that he couldn't completely suppress the thin boy. His knee was kicked straight, causing his body to sway. Seeing that Kunz was about to take this opportunity to back away from him, he stiffened. The body changed from shaking from side to side to leaning forward, and following this force, he swung his fist towards Kunz.

Kunz raised his arm to block the punch, his arm was numb from the blow, and once again lost the chance to draw his sword.Bell East roared, swung his huge fist and slammed it at Kunz again and again.Flames burst out of Kunz's fist, if the sword is not allowed to be drawn, then use talent!

Beier Dong's eyes were red, the flames burned his clothes and his lush hair, causing large blisters on his body, but this did not weaken the strength and speed of Beier Dong's punching, on the contrary , His strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his speed is getting faster and faster.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Shota Baron hold on! ] [Here we come! ]

It only takes ten minutes from the nearest town square to the castle, but the usual ten minutes now feels like several hours have passed, but the dust has finally settled.

The frightened child finally mustered up the courage to run away, but instead of running into the castle, he ran outside.At this moment, Kunz and Beierdong happened to be blocking the way to the gate. Beierdong lifted the child up and threw him screaming at Kunz!

Kunz pounced to the left, and with a sound of "snap!", the child was thrown solidly, and a small but sharp dagger flew out of his hand due to the impact.

"Trash." Beier Dong looked at the bloody child on the ground, and spat at him. He lowered his body and picked up the dagger.

Kunz looked at him vigilantly, but Belton stabbed the small dagger into his own neck: "I curse you, my nephew! Curse the blood of Meng Luofei! Curse with my flesh and soul! This place will become A paradise of natural disasters and demons!"

At this time, the players who just ran in saw Beier Dong suddenly pull the dagger horizontally, and bright red blood spurted out a few meters away. on the ground.

[Gan! ] The player who ran at the front was almost bloodied.

[Sick, isn’t he the one who wants to attack our territory? ]

[This is because the thief didn't steal anything, so blame the victim for protecting the wallet too well? ]

[Are you OK? ] Some people went to see the kid.

"It's an accomplice." Kunz stood in front of Beldon, trying to keep his face expressionless and sure that he was dead.

[Is it useful to curse this thing? 】

[It is useful, but his rank is too low, and the sacrifice process is too sloppy, basically equivalent to useless. 】

【That's regretful. 】

[? ? ?Are you stunned? 】

【What I want to build is a paradise for natural disasters and demons. 】
