Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 693 117

When Myra, the "Lord of Shadow", was captured by Bakan Bushi, on the other side of the city, Fitzroy, the "Lord of Twilight", also encountered a life-and-death crisis.

But the crisis he encountered was obviously much more dangerous than Myra's.

After a whole afternoon of pursuit, Myra fled from the city center to the north dock. Fitzroy's original plan was to board any cargo ship and leave the city.

However, he never expected that after one afternoon, all the ships originally moored in the port would have left their posts.

Roman citizens were not fools.

On weekdays, I hold a bottle of ale in the tavern and listen to the bards singing. At that time, when I heard what Loki did in the lyrics, I would really feel my blood rush.

But when this group of armed thugs came to confront them, everyone knew that they would be met with disaster.

The shrewdest merchants had already escaped from the city when Loki attacked the Senate. When the blood mist begins to spread in the city, no matter how stupid a businessman is, he can feel that a disaster is coming.

All the merchant ships docked at the pier have already left the port, and not even a single wooden plank can be seen on the dark sea where the blood mist rolled.

The entire pier was also deserted.

Fitzroy felt his eyes turning black.

He was also hit by a rune arrow shot by Ge Lin.

Myra has magic that can ward off evil spirits, but Fitzroy doesn't know any magic. The evil spirits of the dead were invisible and shadowless, and they kept attacking his consciousness every moment after entering his body.

Fitzroy fled from the center of the city to the port in an almost panic manner.

When he saw that all the ships had disappeared, one can imagine how he felt at this time.

Looking back in despair, he saw a row of dark figures holding torches in the dark fog behind him.

That was the pursuer who followed him all the way.

Black hair, yellow skin, and eyes as deep as the dark night. This was a group of enemies he least expected to see.

Vikings want money, Slavic hunters want people

But this group of Donglu people have a bloody feud with the Illuminati.

They just wanted his life.

**

Among the 12 leaders of the Illuminati, Fitzroy is one of the few who has never practiced self-defense techniques.

A dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different.

The 12 sect leaders were all created by the hands of the light giant, but their individual personalities and consciousness are also completely different. Some of the companions are good at strategy, some are good at research, some are good at observing life, and some are born with strong ambitions.

Fitzroy yearned more for a comfortable life.

When huge wild beasts occupied the planet, he liked to stand on the back of the wild beasts and follow them into the dark underground world. Explore underground rivers, caves, and find cities where foreign gods and ancient gods lived.

Tens of thousands of years later, severe cold froze the entire planet again.

The wild beasts died, and the giants and dragons created by the gods began to rule the planet.

Unlike his companions who always want to obtain resources and gain strength, Fitzroy is more interested in riding a dragon and flying to higher mountains, or sitting on the shoulders of giants and migrating with these silent big guys.

He likes the various scenery he sees on his journey.

In his free time, he likes to lie on the hills where the breeze blows. Sometimes he lies there for three days and three nights.

Later, the ancestors descended from the sky.

Frankly speaking, he didn't like these hairless creatures in the first tens of thousands of years. As a group of foreign gods, they are too strong and too arrogant.

Only a few thousand years after landing, they began to turn from defense to offense, and in turn slaughtered giants and dragons.

During that time, Fitzroy, who was not good at killing, spent a rather confused time until Bertug, the Lord of Disasters, caused a great flood, and the ancestors experienced a long period of degradation and became the mortals they are now.

Only then did he gradually understand the loveliness of this tribe.

Fitzroy likes to wear human skin and mingle among mortals.

The patriarch's order is for everyone to develop peripheral members.

Fitzroy also didn't like the way other companions lived.

Mutu is too high-profile, Sardin is too flamboyant, Myra is focused on studying his own technology, and as for Betug, this person is always too mysterious, so that even other sect leaders feel that he is dangerous.

Compared with others, Fitzroy prefers to sit down in the same capacity and do business together.

He prefers to become true friends with mortals.

Because of this, among the 12 sect masters, he chose to cooperate with the "Lord of Twilight" Sardin. The real leaders of several temples in the black desert of the northern continent are actually these two sect leaders.

Sardin went deep into the underworld to control the passage of mortals into the underworld.

Fitzroy, on the other hand, was lurking in Constantinople, the richest city in the Western Continent, wooing congressmen, wealthy businessmen, princes and nobles to provide them with reincarnation services.

When the reincarnation ceremony can be carried out smoothly, Fitzroy has a very high reputation. The Byzantine merchant knew that his origin must be full of mystery, but at the same time. . . Who can say no to immortality?

If you haven't lived enough in a lifetime, you will peel off your consciousness and store it in the body, and live again when the time is right.

Where in the world is there a more comfortable way to live than this?

During this period, Fitzroy was the most powerful figure in Constantinople. His human identity "Hovar Gannicus" even took on the position of city defense captain, stationed at the outer walls of Constantinople that no one had attacked in three hundred years.

There is no need to take responsibility, and you can also support a private army in the name of the king. This is a huge job in the city.

However, Fitzroy never expected that "Lord of Twilight" Sardin would be killed quietly.

Who did it?

Is it Loki, a legal assassin, or a native of the Black Desert?

It doesn't seem important now. After being unable to provide reincarnation services, he instantly lost all his customers and also lost his identity as "Howar Ganix".

From everything to nothing, "Lord of Twilight" Fitzroy only took a short month.

In the days that followed, he could only follow Bertug, the "Lord of Disaster", and told his conscience that he did not like this companion who always seemed to be gloomy.

But half the city is hunting him, what can he do?

Fitzroy was not a researcher like Myra who focused entirely on research. He had been in the Byzantine business circle for a long time and had been exposed to it for hundreds of years. He also acquired a businessman's way of thinking.

From the moment Bertug agreed to Loki's suggestion and ordered the three of them to take off their human skins and enter the Colosseum, he knew that this was not his style.

There must be a shocking conspiracy brewing in Bertug's heart, but he did not choose to tell Myra or himself.

This shows that both of them are part of the plan.

It is even very possible that he was an abandoned son arranged by Bertug.

The battle begins,

Knowing his identity, Fitzroy had no other choice. The patriarch seemed to be brilliant, but the Illuminati was able to stay together for 200 million years. The patriarch had an extremely strict way of managing his subordinates. Strict discipline.

For the 12 sect leaders who live for hundreds of millions of years, human beings are just a passing cloud in their long lives. The clan leader is the towering tree that always hangs over their heads.

Even if he died alone, he would not dare to go against the clan leader's wishes.

Lizardmen cannot swim.

When they saw Fitzroy alone and trapped in the center of the pier, all the Legalists stopped at the same time.

The abilities of the Illuminati leader are well known to the world.

There is an old saying from the Eastern Continent - a trapped beast still fights.

The beast with no way out knows that there is no hope of survival, and will definitely unleash all its potential and give it a try. In this case, they become more dangerous than usual.

The closer we get to closing the net, the more we need to stay calm.

The first person to step out from the crowd was the commander-in-chief Gu Huaian.

Born in a crisis since childhood, Gu Huaian never trusts others easily.

He has always been skeptical of information provided by others, believing that the only thing worthy of trust in the world is his own eyes.

Long before setting off for the Western Continent, Legalist Right Chancellor Li Chunfeng had spent a lot of money to buy all the information about the 12 sect leaders from the Vulcan Cult.

According to the Vulcan Cult's investigation, "Lord of Twilight" Fitzroy did not have any attack methods. His actual combat capabilities are equivalent to those of ordinary human soldiers, and his threat level is extremely low.

Gu Huaian never believed this piece of information.

He thought this was simply impossible.

**

In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, "Taoist Sword Cultivator" was the occupation with the highest threshold and the strongest talent requirements among all schools.

However, even so, for people with mediocre qualifications, as long as they are willing to spend time and energy, and continue to devour the treasures of heaven and earth throughout their long lives, study hard and practice hard.

It is not uncommon for people to build a foundation in 60 years and develop a golden elixir in 80 years.

It only takes 80 years for the "Taoist School", which has been established for just over 800 years, to train a mediocre Jindan swordsman, which is quite a long time for a mortal.

However, for the lizard man leader who has a lifespan of hundreds of millions, 80 years is just a blink of an eye.

They only need to invest such a short time to develop divine power that mortals cannot imagine, and the lizard people have experienced more than ten rounds of civilization. Gu Huaian can guarantee that Taoist sword cultivators are by no means the most powerful sect.

By spending just a short moment in any sect, they can acquire skills that ordinary people cannot imagine.

It is said that these lizardmen masters have no self-defense skills.

Gu Huaian didn't believe it at all.

With his feet stepping on the wet bluestone, he nimbly avoided the fallen bodies on the dock.

It is not difficult to see that there were bloody battles on the pier during the evacuation of the city. Roman merchants who were usually gentle and gentle would still take up arms and kill strangers when faced with a life-and-death crisis.

Once in trouble, civilization will be quickly obliterated by bestiality.

Only beasts can survive in the harsh environment.

He believed that these lizard hybrids must be more ferocious creatures than humans.

Approaching the end of the pier step by step, Gu Huaian could see that the Illuminati leader had no way out now. He stood at the end of a row of flimsy boards.

Beyond that there was only an endless ocean of darkness.

Squinting his eyes, he could see that the lizard man sect leader was shaking like chaff. When Gu Huaian was watching the battle at the edge of the Colosseum, he once saw a rune arrow piercing the back of his heart, and he also knew that there must be something weird about the seemingly ordinary wooden arrow.

But at this time, Legalist believers had already surrounded him with absolute numerical superiority.

There are no shops or residences around the pier.

There was silence everywhere, only they gathered here.

Gu Huaian doesn't need to take any risks.

Approaching until he was about 20 steps away from Fitzroy, he put down the torch in his hand and inserted it into the wooden fence on the side of the pier. His face reflected in the firelight.

At the same time, Gu Huaian showed his hands, indicating that he did not carry any weapons.

"Your Highness Fitzroy, maybe you don't recognize me."

"But I have already seen you in the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty forty years ago."

Creating killings is by no means all the work of a Legalist mentor. Talking with people and spying on intelligence are also very important parts of his daily work. When Gu Huaian discovered that Fitzroy had no murderous intention for the time being.

He continued to show his hands and took a few steps forward.

"You are a very confident person.

You were wearing the same outer skin you wore when we first met 60 years ago. Horval Gannicus I was still young and had not yet learned Latin. "

"But I trust my memory."

"The name you used back then was also the same!"

Gu Huaian walked forward until he came to Fitzroy. From this distance, he could clearly see the exquisite Chinese characters on its scales, its orange eyeballs like agate gems, and the faint black mist floating on its face.

You came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to catch up with the most embarrassing period of our country. An Lushan's army drove all the way and invaded the middle of Henan Road. The entire northern territory of the kingdom was a scorched earth.

I was just 12 years old that year.

All the food in the village was robbed by the barbarians. In order to leave some rations for my siblings, my parents fought with the rebels and their heads were cut off and hung on the locust tree at the entrance of the village.

That night I wanted to see them one last time and steal their heads back if I could.

But I didn't expect that in just one afternoon, all the human heads hanging on the big tree were eaten by crows and wild dogs.

It was a disaster year, and animals would feel hungry.

My sister was desperate and was sold by the village chief to Jiangnan as a child bride. The day my sister left, the village chief handed me a bag of millet, which was the best food that could be found in that chaotic era.

That was the life-saving food my sister sold her life for.

Relying on such a small amount of food, I actually walked all the way from Henan Road to Shannan Road. Now that I think about it, that's really quite a miracle.

Finally, I found a job to make a living in a tavern at the foot of Jianpai Mountain in Hengshan Mountain, where I helped the chef prepare chicken blood, duck blood, and pig blood into blood tofu.

In a year of great calamity, no bite of food should be wasted.

As long as you can eat it to keep your stomach full, it is better than eating tree bark.

It was in this tavern that I met you. "

Gu Huaian stretched out a slender finger and pointed at Fitzroy's eyes. He could see the pair of golden vertical pupils shrinking slightly, which was because he was caught up in the memories of the past.

"Looking back now, I probably know why you want to go to Hengshan Sword Sect."

“The main purpose of this war among you sect masters is to kill a sufficient number of people from the Eastern Land to create a sufficient number of undead from the East to support the Lord of Twilight, Sardin, who is in danger in the underworld. "

"A hundred civilians may not be worth a powerful Taoist sword cultivator. Compared with the battle between mortals, you hope that the powerful monks can join this chaotic battle and lose their lives in batches."

"So you must wander among the major sword sects, sending people, money, food, and everything they need! As long as you can drag several major sword sects into this war at the same time, your mission will be completed. ”

"It's a pity that no one in the Eastern Tang Dynasty knew this at that time."

Fitzroy has been tortured to the point of being transformed into a human form by the "ghosts of the Nicholson family" residing in his body. Gu Huaian did not attack him, but sat next to him.

The two of them were like old friends they hadn't seen for many years, chatting about daily life beside the quiet sea.

"It's a pity that no one in the Tang Dynasty knew that you guys were the real masterminds."

Many officials even lamented that only when you are caught in a war can you tell who your true friends are.

We usually get married and help each other, but the Hokuriku Hu people who treat us like brothers every year do not regard us as friends at all.

On the contrary, the culprit in Xilu who sold them dozens of disks and porcelain bowls one by one became a closer ally after the war began.

Distance and close attack

The wisdom of the ancients does not deceive me.

Gu Huaian shook his head rather desolately, and Gu Huaian seemed to feel sorry for the former ruler of the Eastern Continent.

This is the eternal pain in the hearts of all those who have experienced that dark era. They watched with their own eyes as a country that had come from all over the world turned into the desolate state it is now in, overnight.

Whenever I think of it, I feel sad.

"You're not like the others."

“I remember that day clearly, it was the first snow of that winter.

You entered the store with a group of blond Romans. Instead of taking out the useless gold and silver, you opened the portal and took out a roomful of rice, flour, bacon and ham. "

In that hungry era, this was a treasure more precious than gold.

With this move alone, you suppressed Huai Shanzi, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, who came to the banquet.

At the dinner table, you talked loudly to a group of Taoist priests. I still remember it clearly.

You think a stable purchase channel is far more important than temporary gold and silver. The Ganix family has worked hard for several generations to open up a trade route. If the Eastern Tang Dynasty falls into permanent chaos, all their efforts will be in vain.

Practitioners are beyond the three realms. Perhaps in the eyes of Taoist priests, the battles for power among mortals are just passing by, but you can see how your people live.

At this moment, everyone in the room looked at me.

It's quite embarrassing to say that a group of Taoist priests listening to your talk, I was the only one looking straight at the food on the table because I was too hungry.

I was thinking at that time

Baked carp noodles, bowls of steamed crispy pork, roasted large intestines with green onions, and republican tofu. Not to mention the year of disaster, even in the peaceful and prosperous times, how many sons of farmers have seen these exquisite Kung Fu dishes?

I couldn't stop swallowing, even when you turned to look at me. "

Gu Huaian shook his head, and Fitzroy on the side also smiled.

This was the first facial expression he showed since the conversation between the two.

"The promise you gave is that as long as the Hengshan Sword Sect is willing to help the Tang army defeat the rebels, your Chamber of Commerce can support all their expenses, including food, weapons, medicine, steel and everything they can think of."

Afterwards, when these veterans were making tea and chatting in the box at night, they were still laughing at you, Westerners, for being crazy about business, that you would waste time and effort on making such a loss-making business.

No wonder they are.

Twenty years ago, even those of us who specialize in intelligence work naively thought that you were providing help in times of need when Datang was in its most difficult time, and it was really to "maintain the source of goods."

hehe

Looking back now, I was really naive back then. "

After a rather long silence, Gu Huaian stretched out a finger and pointed at Fitzroy's eyebrows.

"It's the same old saying."

You are different from others.

Practitioners absorb the essence of the sun and moon through breathing and exhalation. They have got rid of the very inefficient way of obtaining spiritual energy by "eating food".

When all the guests left, a table of cold dishes was left almost intact. "

Gu Huaian shook his head gently. He wiped a cigarette from his arms, lit it in front of the torch, and took a deep breath.

At that time, I was a person with nothing. At the age of 15, I was so skinny that I only had a handful of ribs. I come to the hotel every day and work like an animal, just to get a mouthful of swill that can sustain my life.

At night, he dragged his exhausted body and other companions back to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city to spend the night, forcing himself to fall asleep under the attacks of rats, fleas, and mosquitoes.

In that era of constant war, this is how homeless teenagers survived.

There is no light in our world.

And you gave me the first ray of light in that long dark night.

"The rule on the grassland is that when the lion eats up, the hyena eats it, and after the hyena eats up, it's the hyena's and vulture's turn."

"It's the same in hotels in disaster years. The chefs and shopkeepers have to pack up the leftover goodies and take them away. We busboys can eat a mouthful of swill on weekdays. If we don't starve to death in disaster years, it's considered a blessing. "

Maybe you don't remember

That day you rewarded me and my hungry companions with all the food on the table.

That’s a table of delicious dishes that even the shopkeeper and chef will covet!

And it has barely been touched by anyone!

A group of us brothers in rags sat at the table, looking at each other and no one dared to pick up the chopsticks. You shook your head and put the chopsticks into our hands, and asked the kitchen master to steam out a large pot of cakes and place them in front of us.

Only then did I believe that it was all true.

Many companions cried on the spot

The night was already dark, and blood mist was still billowing in the city, but the violent shouts of killing had gradually faded away. Gu Huaian smoked the cigarette in his hand, seemingly immersed in thinking about the past.

"I told you, you are a different person."

The actions a person makes unconsciously best reflect his true thoughts.

"Other sect leaders either hate or control mortals, or simply treat them like cats and dogs. Only you believe from the bottom of your heart that these children who may starve to death at any time are also worth saving."

"You are not the destroyer like Bertug, nor the madman who is trying to destroy the world like the mysterious patriarch!"

“In the forest, once a tiger or cheetah hurts someone, it must be executed immediately, but mules and horses can live in peace with humans for a long time.

Mr. Fitzroy, I have seen how you treat humans unconsciously.

I know what's really going on in your heart.

The clan leader is our enemy.

So are the Adventists who want to summon the Father of Light to come again.

But you are not!

After finishing speaking, Gu Huaian showed his palm and patted Fitzroy's head without any warning.

Fitzroy was already possessed and tormented by evil spirits and was reduced to a human form. When the two of them were so close, he couldn't even dodge. This one hit him firmly on top of his head.

A ray of fiery spiritual energy spurted out from Gu Huaian's palm.

The evil ghost in his consciousness let out a shrill wail, and Fitzroy felt that the world in front of him immediately returned to light.

With his eyes widened, he looked hesitantly at the Legalist mentor beside him.

next chapter

The evil ghost was driven away by the true energy, and Fitzroy's confused mind quickly returned to clarity.

The originally chaotic haze in his brain was quickly sorted out, and he turned to look at Gu Huaian.

At this time, his eyes were no longer distracted, but his eyes were straight.

As an ancient god with a lifespan of more than 200 million years, Fitzroy is indeed "unambitious" compared to other sect leaders.

But this does not mean that he is a simple-minded person with no merits.

The story told by Gu Huaian did happen.

60 years ago, the clan leader ordered all resources in the Guangzao Association to be tilted towards the "Lord of Twilight" Sardin. All the sect leaders entered the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty at the same time and used all means to send more Eastern Land monks to the battlefield.

They will die only if they enter the battlefield.

And only after death will their souls enter the underworld to resist the "God of Death" Hela.

When he entered the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Fitzroy was indeed wearing the human skin of "Hoval Gannicus", and he also used the name Gannicus.

Just as Gu Huaian said, he did visit the Hengshan Sword Sect, opened the portal and took out a lot of supplies that were in short supply in the Eastern Continent, forcing them to send sword cultivators to fight the barbarians.

In a restaurant at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, he did see a ragged young man who invited him and a group of hungry companions to eat the leftovers on the table.

But he can guarantee that the young man back then was definitely not the Gu Huaian in front of him!

**

As mortals grow up, their faces and habits will change, but their innate temperament is extremely difficult to change.

In the long years of 200 million years, Fitzroy has interacted with various creatures that once lived on this planet.

Not to have a bird's-eye view like an emperor, or to be aloof as a religious leader, but to get close to them and share their joys, sorrows, and joys.

In Fitzroy's understanding, a person's temperament is determined by the soul, and the soul is something that is innate and completely unchangeable.

Although the boy who had a chance encounter 60 years ago was thin, he was as gentle as jade in his heart. Gu Huaian tried his best to create the introverted character of a Confucian teacher.

But what's the use of seeing through it?

Now he is alone and trapped at the end of the pier by a group of legalist hidden stakes. If he wanted to escape, he could only turn over and jump into the sea. The deep-water harbor where large cargo ships can dock is dozens of meters deep.

And his lizard-man scale bones are extremely heavy.

He has no ability to float from the sea.

The powerful vitality given by Father Light will not make him die immediately.

Once he enters the sea, he will only sink to the bottom of the sea like a weight, and he will be blown away by the ocean currents. When it is pushed to the coast again by the waves, the sea may have turned into a mulberry field. It is unknown whether there is still life on this planet.

He cannot make this choice.

"Your Highness Fitzroy, you are a smart man." The last embers of the cigarette in his hand were extinguished, and Gu Huaian turned his head, "As time goes by and my Legalist school awakens, you are gradually losing your powerful control over mortals. ”

"Mutu defected and Sardin died."

"Today in Constantinople, your two companions are at an absolute disadvantage. Do you think that group of arrogant Romans will help you?"

"If the three of you die at the same time, less than half of the 12 sect leaders will already be dead."

"How long do you think he can survive among the remaining people?"

"I, the Legalist school, believe that order can govern everything. If I want to harm you, I guarantee that you will wish that Mr. Light Father would make you a weaker pair of scales so that you die immediately."

"But I don't want to do that today."

"I want to negotiate a deal with you."

I just have 1 question for the Liao family.

Who is that mysterious patriarch?

Which human skin in my court has he put on, and what is his current identity?

Tell me the answer and I can make you my Legalist advisor. You can spend this time smoothly and safely like Mutu, the 'King of Earthsea' in the hands of the Vikings.

Once we kill the clan leader, everything will be settled.

Lord Li Chunfeng will give you the body of a death row prisoner last time, and you can choose your own life in the future.

As long as they don't try to summon the light giants and don't cause massacres in the Eastern Continent.

"We will no longer interfere with all your actions."

Fitzroy was not surprised by Gu Huaian's request.

Over the years, he has seen many rulers who regard the people as their faith, but few can be as extreme and paranoid as the Legalists.

I can't blame them.

The Anshi Rebellion achieved such impressive results in a very short period of time, and even the clan leader himself did not expect it. The Eastern Tang Dynasty lost one-third of the kingdom's population in just 8 years.

That’s nearly 30 million lives.

Every fate of these people is a blood debt to the Legalist teacher.

And blood debts can only be paid with blood.

Now they have used iron and blood to get rid of the originator of the Anshi Rebellion - "Lord of Twilight" Sardin, and got rid of the strongest warrior under "Lord of Disaster" Bertug.

These are the most dangerous enemies of the Illuminati.

They look down on fringe characters like Fitzroy and Myra. Instead of wasting time hunting down these useless little people, they will definitely focus all their attention on the most important issues at the moment.

Who is the patriarch.

Before answering the question, Fitzroy took a deep breath and turned to look at Gu Huaian.

It was obvious that this man was more powerful than he thought.

In the eyes of the Legalist school, "Lord of Disaster" Bertug is obviously a better target than himself, especially now that he has lost "Destroyer" Wang Ergulei, Bertug does not have much on hand. Too strong combat power.

But Gu Huaian did not fall for the trick, and instead accurately aimed all attacks at himself.

He must have sniffed out Bertug's conspiracy in advance.

And even he didn't see through this conspiracy.

(Maybe they can actually succeed?)

"I don't know the specific name of the clan leader because I have never seen him in the past few decades."

"The clan leader is also very cautious in his behavior. Every ten years or so, he changes his identity. And after each change, even his closest subordinates find it difficult to detect flaws in his disguise."

"Don't underestimate the strength of the patriarch. Our Illuminati has accumulated a massive amount of resources in more than ten rounds of civilization, and more than half of these resources belong to the patriarch."

"He has the most powerful relics, the most powerful subordinates, a large group of dead soldiers who have sworn allegiance to him, and countless ancient secret treasures."

"The patriarch is a person with a strong sense of crisis. He even bluntly said that during this long wandering that lasted for 200 million years, he was often the one carrying the burden of all of us."

"He protected us from the crisis of destruction."

"If your news is true, he is already in the Eastern Continent. He must have laid out a dragnet and is waiting for you to step in."

hehe

Gu Huaian chuckled twice and did not take Fitzroy's warning to heart.

"Don't talk about traps. In order that our people will not be destroyed and slaughtered again in the future, we have to step on them even if they are mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Fitzroy nodded slightly.

"Can."

"You can take me to Donglu. When it is safe, I will identify the clan leader for you."

"I recognize the smell of him."

"But I also want to kindly remind you that the most likely thing that will happen if you take me with you is that you will be discovered by the patriarch in advance and all of you will die unexpectedly one night."

"When the time comes, don't think that I framed you."

Gu Huaian nodded again. Then he stretched out his big hand and patted Fitzroy's shoulder gently.
