Chapter 40

123
"You should kill a thousand-knife demon!!"

The dull red-haired man fell to the ground, most of his body was suppressed by the broken wall, but he still insisted on spitting a mouthful of blood at the Angel of the Abyss with a ferocious expression.Dust and blood were all over his face, and there were several deep scars. He was no longer the arrogance of his youth, only the old age carefully carved out by time, hatred, and decades of pain.Even if Russell saw him again, he still couldn't associate this face with the person he hated so much when he was in his 20s.

What's more, it's been a long time since Roselle looked down at the Sauron family who had been trampled into the dust by him.

"Hi, Florent, glad to see you alive."

Edward greeted him calmly, squatted down, and the hem of his dress fell into the blood on the ground.

"The last time I saw you was in the basement where the assassination was plotted. Russell is dead, and your long-cherished wish should finally be fulfilled."

Although he has experienced suffering and massacres, and his status has plummeted from a royal family to an ordinary nobleman, the old Florent seems to still maintain some of the habits of his youth. After all, some arrogance and dignity engraved in the blood can only be erased by death. of.His Royal Highness Florent Sauron took a few breaths hard, and several steel bars pierced his lungs. Living has become a pain. He has suffered the greatest torture in the world just by breathing.

"Damn devil..."

He said while coughing up blood, with a mad look on his face that he didn't know whether it was sorrow or joy: "Rosell is dead, Roselle is finally dead! I hate my lack of ability, otherwise I will definitely send you to hell too! Let you regret the contempt you once had for me, hateful, my sister failed to die for the family and glory, and you actually tore up my other clansmen in front of my eyes because she ignored me! Hateful, hateful! !"

Edward didn't care about these words at all, but nodded with some appreciation: "Soaked in the blood of hatred for so long, I think you also have the potential to become a devil."

"Ha, ha, ha!" In just a few breaths, Florent's face had completely lost all color, and he was floating on the dividing line between life and death. The vitality that Sequence 4 could give him would probably keep him Live with this painful posture and old appearance, "I would rather die than work for you! Tell me! My poor sister, what did she pay you for my life?!"

"Her soul? Bastard, how dare she sell her soul to the devil!"

"Then I will exchange my soul for her!"

The angel of the abyss was slightly taken aback.

"You are wrong, Florent, Adele has never pleaded for anyone, including you, including herself."

"She likes you very much."

"So, I think she will be happier if you stay."

Florent was blanked for a moment by the green eyes filled with madness, but only for a short time, he returned to his hysterical appearance.

"Killed our parents, slaughtered our brothers and sisters, and took hundreds of lives from Sauron's family. You actually think that Adele would be happy if I was left alone!" Florent's expression management has changed Completely collapsed, "You have no heart at all! What you have done is disgusting, you lowly, despicable devil in human skin!"

Edward nodded with deep empathy: "I think so too. But I want to make a correction. I think the 230 and seven lives of Sauron's family can't reach the lowest line of massacre. The lowest line should at least be against Loen and Ren in the battle of the Amanda Mountains." It was the time when the Fort Allied Forces were right."

Florent was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was even more dying.

He should have known that demons cannot be deduced by human thinking, but the resentment and anger suppressed in his mind cannot be controlled.

At this time, Edward raised his head, looked somewhere in the collapsed palace, and called out in his usual voice, "Trainer?"

"...It's me, my lord father."

A tall and straight figure turned from the corner, the satin headband was missing, and the reddish-brown hair was scattered on the back, like dried blood.The gorgeous gown was torn several times, and the lace cuffs were torn to shreds.There was still a lot of dust on his body, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Oh." Florent raised his eyelids, looked at this young man who was related to him by blood, and took a sip, "You disgusting son of the devil."

Trainor Vaughan lowered his eyes, indifferent to this title, and said calmly: "Father, I left the team without authorization to escort Charles Gustave to escape, but it was unsuccessful. The Church of Steam caught him. But it is said that they Failed to catch up with Bernadette Gustave."

"Roselle is dead, they must all feel that the inheritance is in the hands of the two children." Edward didn't care, and glanced at Florent, "Now they are the remnants of the previous dynasty just like you. You feel happy ?"

A sneer sneered from the former Earl Sauron's throat.

Afterwards, Florent closed his eyes, his weather-beaten and handsome face finally showed deep exhaustion and relief.He seemed to have fulfilled his wish, he had no thought of struggling, and his life was about to come to an end, so Edward ignored him and let him quietly shed his last drop of blood and swallow his last breath in this ruins.Traynor looked at the place where his uncle was buried, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, but he still chose to follow Edward's footsteps.

"I want to leave Intis."

"Where are you going next?"

"I don't have any plans. It's too easy to be discovered if I go to other countries. I might go to the Southern Continent, visit the ruins of the Balam Empire, and settle in Ruen or Fusac after a few decades."

Having said that, Edward suddenly stopped and looked back at Trainor.The latter was startled, and suddenly felt that he had been caught in some hidden mystical connection, and he had been seen clearly from the soul to the internal organs.

"...You should stay in Intis." His father said after consideration, "Your fate will be here for a long time after today. If I don't take you away, the situation in the world will continue to be turbulent. Intis, staying in the center of the war is the most promising for you."

"Don't follow me anymore. You are free, Trainor, live your life according to your preferences."

After finishing speaking, the angel didn't look at him any more. He stepped into the spirit world and disappeared directly from Trainor's eyes without giving him any chance to inquire or persuade him to stay.The latter seemed to have no intention of speaking, and stood there for two seconds, looking around, seeing that there was no one else around, and the medical team searching for the wounded and dead had not yet arrived, so he immediately turned around and ran back to the pile of ruins.He moved away the collapsed masonry and vaults, broke the steel bars and concrete, and with a lot of effort, he dragged Florent out of the ruins.

The Extraordinary characteristics had already begun to separate out. Trainer put away the characteristics, carefully put him aside, and found a clean step to sit down.

His Excellency the Viscount, who was less than forty, suddenly felt that his life had lost his purpose, but in his heart, there was still some yearning and fear for freedom.Intis is already in tatters like this, what will happen after that?
Then an exit from the spirit world suddenly opened in front of his eyes interrupted his wild thoughts, and Trainor couldn't keep his eyes open from the heat wave coming from behind the exit.Edward, whose jacket and half of his trouser legs were missing, and with a part of his hair scorched, came out of it, calmly wiped off the ashes on his body, and looked at Trainor as if nothing had happened.

"Mistake, I forgot that I just ate the Angel of Eternal Blazing Sun."

Edward even explained his embarrassment now, he didn't care that Trainor dragged Florent out, as if he didn't see a dead body lying at his feet, facing his son's stunned He asked, "Adela's funeral is tomorrow?"

Trainor nodded.

Seeing this, Edward raised his right hand, stretched it open, and then gently swiped his left index finger on the ring finger——His right ring finger was completely cut off, and the spirituality in it was withdrawn and turned into an ordinary finger. The place wore a ring set with fine white diamonds and a ruby, and the fracture regenerated and grew back.

"Take it away, and put it in Adele's coffin."

There was a neat circle of scars near the root of the new ring finger. Edward threw the severed finger with the wedding ring on to Trainor, and then opened a whirlpool-like door and walked into the dark world.

Holding the severed finger, Trainor sighed after a while, picked up Florent's already cold body, and walked steadily towards the medical team.

Two months later, at the port of a certain city in Loen.

The passenger ship bound for the Southern Continent is about to leave the port. It is full of sons who cannot inherit the family property, businessmen who dream of getting rich, and pirates who want to wash their hands in anonymity. They are going to do a big job in Balam.They dreamed of becoming plantation owners, managing vast estates, including slaves, or entering comprador guilds in search of power and wealth.In short, the Southern Continent is a good place now, and a boat ticket is hard to find.The aborigines there are docile and easy to domesticate, suitable for buying as servants.Coupled with the fact that the relationship between various countries in the Northern Continent is complicated, and war seems to be imminent, this place has become the best place for people looking for stability.

Among these less noble and somewhat vulgar passengers, there was one who stood out.He was neatly dressed and spoke elegantly. He possessed Loen's calmness and Intis's casual enthusiasm. He spent a lot of money and was polite and alienated from women, so everyone naturally regarded him as a troubled nobleman, which caused a lot of excitement. Some small discussions.It's a pity that he often stays in his private room and only appears during banquets.

The voyage lasted 42 days, and the route passed through some islands in the Sunya Sea, and would stop at specific ports for a short time to replenish supplies.

When the kitchen was busy preparing the meals needed for the dinner, some crew members and servants disembarked to the port to buy newspapers as entrusted by the master.Newspapers originated in Intis, and the speed of news circulation made countries unable to resist building newspaper offices, so that the people could learn the "latest" news from other countries after more than a month.

Intis Emperor Russell Gustav died, and was assassinated by the Eternal Sun Church and the former royal family Sauron family. Many nobles were attacked and killed in the coup, and the noble class suffered a major impact...Government officials lost more than half, Headed by Edward Vaughan, Earl of the Palace and Minister of Military and Political Affairs, several important figures disappeared or died, causing the government management system to be almost paralyzed... The Sauron family tried to win over various forces to restore it, but the bargaining chips they could offer were limited, and it has not yet been clearly determined. support.Thanks to these eye-popping big news, the newspaper office has made a lot of money.

Passengers held brand-new newspapers to talk about the current international situation, and the pre-dinner dance almost turned into a royal hall.The door of a room in the first-class cabin was closed at this time, and the angel of the abyss, who had died in secular history, was sitting by the bay window, quietly looking at the sea horizon at sunset.

After a while, he took out a small notebook from his arms and turned to a certain page—this page was written in Intis language, scribbled but graceful, and two pages of their future travel plans were written profusely.

Behind the travel plan is His own handwriting, which lists the place names that appear in the plan in Intis, such as "Inside the Great Hall at Dusk", "Balam Empire Mausoleum Site", "Highland Kingdom Site", "Pasu Island "The Gulf" and so on, many of which are areas that are strictly prohibited by the government, which shows how much the planners trust Edward's power.

Edward held the quill pen in silence for a few seconds, and slowly ticked off "Remains of the Mausoleum of the Balam Empire".

A small climax is over, and the next chapter returns to the timeline of the main text.

However, considering the number of words, the signing of the contract is far away, so I have to use the broken chapter diary and setting supplements to delay the time.

*Seeing that some readers are asking about the agreement between Decay and Djinn, I will reply here.

The "conversation no one knows" at the beginning of a previous chapter is actually Decay and Djinn.Their deal is: Decay helps the Djinn to occupy a high-sequence identity of the Order II, to a certain extent break away from the control of Tianzun and influence the two pathways (to prepare for leaving the earth). The Djinn helps Decay to find clues to the source quality.When this deal was established, their target was actually the royal family of Ruen or Fenepot, but Roselle jumped in the air and directly became half of the Black Emperor, so he naturally became the best hunting target.

Everyone knows what happened after that, Roselle shined brilliantly as the Dark Emperor, and was very interested in the decline, so he indulged in watching movies and left the promise of the lamp god behind him, and didn't do anything before his death.After Roselle died and was trapped in the mausoleum by the violent pollution, the lamp god was unwilling to accept this identity with the pollution of the mother god.So in the end, the Djinn's meal flew away, and Fading failed to get clues about his own source of quality. The relationship between the two old days is now tense, but the Genie can't really break with Fading. (Deng Shen: The King of Decay wdnmd) So we must separate work from hobbies.
