All-Professional Master of Darkness

"Huh?" Lan Wu looked at Silas in shock. It was beyond his expectation that this boy, who was no more than sixteen years old, came up with such a sentence out of nowhere.

"I want to gain strength. Boya told me that you are strong." Silas did not avoid Lan Wu's gaze, his eyes were firm, and he could see the determination in his eyes.

"This..." Lan Wu thought for a while, smiled and rubbed Silas's hair: "I will give you an answer when Boya and the others come back."

Silas seemed very frustrated when he failed to get Lanwu's acceptance. He nodded silently, took Lan Wu back to Taylor and others, and then sat alone in the corner with his knees in a daze.

"He..." Lan Wu looked back at Silas and turned to Taylor curiously. This young man really surprised him. I don’t understand why this young man is so obsessed with power. This is an extremely dangerous sign, and the devil likes this kind of people the most.

"He is unfortunate." Taylor looked at Silas with tears in his eyes: "Before the Demon Fortress was breached, his parents died heroically in battle. Only he and his sister were left. Later, the Demon Fortress was breached, and his His sister was killed by the demon in the chaos, and he was the only one who survived. Warrod and Boya sympathized with him and took care of him as their own brother. But not long ago, he and Warrod met the devil when they went out to collect food. He witnessed with his own eyes that Warrod had his heart ripped out by the demon in order to save him..."

Lan Wu felt very uncomfortable when he heard the previous words. But when Taylor said that Warrod had his heart dug out by the devil, he was stunned on the spot and his mind went blank. What Taylor said next was completely ignored.

"Warrod...is dead?" Lan Wu muttered to himself in a daze, feeling his chest was congested and his eyes sore.

Warrod was the first friend he made in this world. It is of great significance to him. It was precisely because of Warrod that he quickly integrated into this world and embarked on the path he is on today. When he returned to the Demon Fortress again, he heard the bad news, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"He walked peacefully without much pain. The demon dug out his heart cleanly." Taylor glanced at Lan Wu, lowered his head and stroked his bulging abdomen, with a happy smile on his face.

Seeing the happy smile on Taylor's face, Lan Wu was stunned for a moment and then fell silent. He understood the meaning behind Taylor's happy smile.

Today's Demon Fortress is more like a dead land than a ruin. This is the closest to hell. When the World Stone was destroyed, the place was affected by the demonic energy of hell far more than Lugoin, Kurast Seaport and other places. Food sources have been cut off. Although there is still food left in the ruins, once it is eaten up, all that is left is to wait for death to come.

Warrod was able to die at the hands of the devil without any pain, which was a great blessing from this perspective. There is nothing more painful than a father watching his wife and children starve to death. The smile on Taylor's face was out of envy that he could no longer suffer from inner torment and get rid of it early.

"He finally got lucky." Lan Wu sniffed hard, his voice choked up.

"Not just once." Taylor raised his head with a smile and shrugged his shoulders: "He often told me that he only experienced good luck once in his life. It was when he was lucky enough to meet you and become friends with you. All the time. You are his role model and have made him where he is today.”

Listening to Taylor's words, Lan Wu felt panicked. Isn't it my luck to meet Warrod? Otherwise, I might not be where I am today. He took a deep breath, stood up and let out the frustration in his heart: "Leave it to me, I will definitely take you to a peaceful place."

"New Tristram?" Taylor heard a strong desire in his eyes. When she and Warrod left Rogge Camp to go out for adventure and experience, the development of New Tristram had already begun. She had heard others mention this future paradise more than once.

"Yes, that is the last paradise for mankind now." Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders, raised his head to look at the dark ceiling, and took the opportunity to blink hard to avoid uncontrollable tears. Then he said nothing and turned towards the door: "You guys wait here. I'll go find Boya and give you a gift when I come back."

"I'll go with you." When Silas heard that Lan Wu was going to find Boya, he immediately jumped up, grabbed his bow and arrow and chased after him.

When the two of them walked out of the door, Taylor finally couldn't hold back the grief in his heart, covered his face and cried bitterly. The appearance of Lan Wu made her unconsciously think of Warrod again who she had forced herself to forget.

New Tristram... humanity's last paradise. But Warrod will never see it again.

"Taylor, are you crying?" A little girl who was only about six years old asked timidly next to her: "Do you think of Warrod again?"

"No, I am happy that we are about to leave here." Taylor wiped away his tears, smiled and hugged the little girl tightly and murmured: "That is a beautiful place..."

…

Back outside the castle, Lan Wu looked up at the endless ruins in front of him and scratched his head in depression. The demon fortress is too big and the ruins are not small. God knows where to find Boya and the others.

"Do you know where Boya and the others usually collect food?" Lan Wu looked back at Silas.

"The ruins to the west, I know the way." Silas raised his hand and pointed to the west. This young man has recovered his emotions and has returned to the steady young man who stood up to protect others.

"Wait." Lan Wu suddenly stopped Silas. He saw Leah flying back in a hurry. It looks like I got some bad news.

Silas didn't know that Lan Wu still left scouts outside. He couldn't see Leah, he just thought that the benefactor had other things to do, and he didn't rush her, he just waited patiently.

"Hurry...come with me." Liya flew to Lan Wu and urged anxiously.

"What's going on?" Lan Wu also realized something was wrong and asked hurriedly. Rushing in without fully understanding the situation is a taboo for adventurers.

I don’t want to worry, but the more anxious Leah is, the harder it will be to explain. Lan Wu finally managed to hear something from her clueless words. Lanya and the others were actually trapped by a group of humans. Fortunately Leah was far away at the time. Unfortunately, there was no soul contract between her and Lan Wu, and she had no way of knowing Lan Wu's whereabouts. She could only wander around in the ruins like a headless fly. I didn't find this place until just now.

"Humans trapped ghosts?" Lan Wu took a breath of air. The damn Zakarum Revival has reached out here. He immediately confessed, quickly put on his staff and teleported out.

"Go back and tell Tyler to lock the door, there's trouble."
