Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 314 Old Accounts
"So the role of the Duke came, and he took the initiative to provide the blood pumpkin." Stannis felt that all this happened so logically, as if there was some hand behind him leading the whole thing to go step by step according to the plan .

Hailiana nodded, "For some reason, Duke Garcia among you humans contacted Tucker and handed over this town to him. After clearing out the humans here, Tucker began to grow blood pumpkins and gave them The biggest one was transplanted to the center of the square, and he placed the embryo made by his younger brother in it, and then he began to call all the ghosts to live here. At first, I only thought that he was going to build the Utopia he had always dreamed of, But in the end I found out that his purpose is not that simple..."

"What is his purpose?"

Hailiana raised her head, with the sadness in her eyes no less than that of a human being, "It turns out that he has already made a contract with that mysterious boy. He will use the whole family as sacrifices in exchange for the coming of this true god. At that time, he will destroy the world on the ground." All the demons and humans!"

It took a long time for Stannis to react from the extreme shock, "He's crazy."

To exchange the lives of the entire race for revenge for his younger brother, even the craziest sociopath cannot make such a decision.

"Yes, he's crazy." Hailiana nodded, "When I learned about this plan, I dissuaded him and threatened that if he didn't stop, I would reveal the secret. Unexpectedly, Tucker pretended to agree. I no longer carried out the destruction plan, but when I was negligent, I sneaked and threw me off that cliff, and it is because of Corvo's shelter that I can live to this day."

Stannis knew what he was facing now, a bloody lunatic!He wanted to continue asking, but found that they had approached Oak Town unknowingly. At this time, they were at the bottom of the cliff in the town. Stannis found that Tucker liked to carry out assassinations here. It is very convenient to eliminate traces, but it is necessary to check after all. Only two people he met survived.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Stannis looked up at the cliff. There was no way to go up here, so he was curious about how to go up.

But Hailiana stepped forward to push the weeds away without saying a word, revealing a black hole from inside, which seemed to be a secret passage.

"From here it leads to the town's dry well, and no one knows about it but me and Tucker."

"Why do you know all the secret passages? You told him about the underground cave where Corvo came to rescue us before?"

Hailiana still didn't speak. Before sneaking into this town two years ago, she had cleared all the secret passages in the whole town under Tucker's order. Now she didn't expect to use this to deal with her former lover.

Soon, the two of them got out of the dry well through the dark and damp underground river. The street was still silent, and the ghost knew where those ghosts went.

Hailiana sniffed the air, "There is no one of our kind here, maybe they all went to defend outside the town under Tucker's order."

What a godsend, Stannis drew his hatchet and was ready to run towards the center of the square, because every second he could save Anya whose life was hanging by a thread.

But the woman grabbed him from behind. She pointed to the sky without making a sound, but Stannis knew what she meant. It was not yet the agreed time. He could roughly judge the time from the distance between the bright moon and the blood moon. It was ten o'clock in the evening, and there were still two hours before the time to attack.

But I can't just wait here!If it is seen by some ghost, it will fall short.

Suddenly thought of an important matter, something that needs to be settled by him himself.

"Hayley," Stannis suppressed his voice, "Anyway, there is still a little time now, I have to settle some personal grievances, do you want to follow?"

The woman shook her head, "I'm not interested in the grievances between you humans, remember to come to the central square to find me after you settle these matters, don't be late."

Stannis gave her a thumbs up, saying that he would never miss the matter, and then the two parted.

Using the map burned in his mind before, Stannis quickly found his destination - Amin's home. As he said, this is a grievance between human beings, and Stannis can't stand this kind of scum for a second Can breathe air freely.

At this time, the whole room was completely dark from the inside to the outside, and it seemed that there was no one in it. Stannis was not surprised by this. Perhaps, as Tucker said, the ghost was holding a grand celebration banquet for Amin, and that guy didn't know yet. When the "true god" comes, all life here, whether it is ghosts or human beings, must die.

Stannis held the hatchet tightly and quietly pushed open the door of Amin's house. He listened carefully for a while to make sure there was no abnormal sound inside.

Suddenly the lights came on, and Stannis jumped up in fright, all the muscles in his body tensed immediately, ready to go into battle.

But unexpectedly, no ghost jumped out. Although there was a person sitting behind the dining table in the house, Stannis believed that she was no threat to him.

It was Duo'er, she was still sitting there as usual, not responding to what happened outside.

Stannis really couldn't figure out why Amin, who could even give up his own child, would keep this woman by his side. Maybe there was some unforgettable love story between the two, and it might also mean that the guy simply didn't lose his humanity.

As for how the lamp was turned on, maybe the woman's unconscious convulsion touched somewhere and lit the oil lamp on the table.

Just as Stannis was about to relax, he heard footsteps coming from the street again, and he closed the door immediately, but it was too late to blow out the light, so he had to turn over and hide in the food cupboard, through the shutters. Observe outside.

The door was pushed open, and it was Amin who came in from the outside. He still had that kind face on his face. Even at home, he didn't take off this disguise, which made Stannis admire him.

Amin also noticed the lighted oil lamp on the table, but he didn't care about it, nor did he think about the thief entering the house. He just patted his head and said in a tone of self-blame: "Duo'er , look at me, I forgot to turn off the lights when I went out in the early morning, what a waste."

If he hadn't seen the real face of this guy, Stannis would still think that Amin was a good family man.

Dol remained motionless, perhaps an illusion, Stannis felt the woman's unblinking eyes staring at him through the gap in the cupboard.
