At that moment, Thales' breathing stopped.

Eighteen years ago...

Hyman Knight Bright Star…

Blade Tooth Camp...

Ricky's pupils suddenly narrowed!

"you?"

He looked at the drill in front of him in shock and solemnity, and subconsciously glanced in one direction: "The Ghost Prince..."

"It's you?"

The driller straightened his robe, showed a perfect smile, and nodded:

"I."

Soon, the way everyone looked at the drill changed, even Russell.

From vigilance and disgust...to fear and shock.

Thales looked at the drill blankly

so.

he is the one……

"See, everyone has a past."

"And the reason why Teng promoted me to one of his deputies and sent me to be the person in charge of Shadow Shield in Longxiao City is," Zhuo Zi laughed, spreading his hands and grinning a strange smile:

"There is a reason."

He turned to Thales, still smiling broadly.

But the prince only felt that this man's smile suddenly became chilling.

From a long time ago, the Blood Year was just a label and a setting in Thales' mind.

Only when I talk to others, will I accidentally bring up the background of that era in the conversation with a sense of history.

He was frightened by Gilbert's narration, sighed in the Bright Star Tomb, sighed at Willow's fate, was surprised when passing the Leman Pass, was angry listening to the story of King Nun, and was moved by listening to the old crow's discussion.

Doubtful and melancholy when passing the Ghost Prince Tower.

But Thales had never been up close and directly exposed to the blood of that era, which even gave him an illusion:

That's all in the past.

Wars, assassinations, conspiracies, death, bloodshed, all these things that happened from 0 to 2000 in the End Calendar, all happened behind a curtain.

Like history, like legend, like story.

It was only at this moment, when Thales looked at the drill, at the curvature of the real murderer's lips and the enthusiasm radiating from his eyes, that he suddenly understood:

He has been living under that bloody shadow.

"Fuck..." Russell could no longer maintain his aristocratic demeanor. He clenched his fists in his chest and looked at his fellow travelers in shock.

The masked man's eyes were bulging, staring at the drill with bloodshot eyes, trembling slightly.

The mercenaries were even more uproar.

But the driller paid no attention to them.

"Is this guarantee enough?" The driller stared at Ricky closely, looking at the latter's solemn expression.

"Still think that I will betray you to the Blade Fang camp, or doubt my stance on fighting the stars to the end, or question my integrity?"

"If an appeal happens," the driller sneered and pointed to the letter in Ricky's hand:

"Use it."

"Send me to the list that Kessel and the Black Prophet missed, and send me to the endless search and pursuit of the secret department."

The whole tavern fell silent.

It seems like a century has passed.

Ricky took a deep breath to calm down his mood just now.

"good."

He nodded with difficulty, as if a huge weight was hanging around his neck: "It is indeed a weighty guarantee."

"Let your people come in," Ricky seemed a little touched. He folded the letter again and carefully stuffed it into his arms. His voice was a little low: "After taking away the prince, we still have a lot of things to do."

Thales felt a chill in his heart.

The driller smiled sincerely.

He bowed respectfully:

"Happy to oblige."

At that moment, Thales watched in amazement as Ricky waved to his subordinates, and watched as the driller proudly took out a whistle and blew it silently.

Under Ricky's order, Marina and Sonny walked towards the three of them with frowns on their faces.

But the shock and fear in the prince's heart still lingered.

Hyman.

The fourth prince.

Ghost Prince...

He suddenly remembered Old Hammer's sigh: "...he hit the ground face first..."

But soon, the sins of the Hell River surged through his body, and with a jolt, the distracted Tails suddenly came back to his senses.

No.

He raised his head blankly.

Ricky's seriousness, Drill's smile, and Russell's solemnity were all visible at this moment.

Thales gasped, and his heart tightened as he watched the man from the Sword of Disaster transfer his ownership to the Shield of Shadows.

No.

It's not over yet.

Shadow Shield...

You must not follow them!

Thales thought so and gritted his teeth.

He turned his head and looked around.

Immediately, Thales looked firmly and whispered to Dean and Quick Rope behind him:

"cover me."

Kuaisheng, who was also in panic, frowned:

"What?"

But Dean looked at Thales and guessed his intention, and couldn't help but turned pale and said, "Are you crazy?"

Thales clenched his fist fiercely!

He looked at the drill man's satisfied expression from a distance.

"Believe me!" Thales gritted his teeth.

Their secret conversation ended here, because Marina had already arrived behind Thales.

The prince pushed aside Dean and the fast rope, and took the lead to meet Marina and the mercenaries behind her.

"Hold your hands behind your back, Your Highness, and it won't hurt so much."

Marina said to Thales coldly, with evil intentions in her eyes.

But Thales snorted lightly and slowly approached Marina.

"Marina, right? I think you must be very angry now..."

The prince sighed: "Your whole family was wronged and died on charges that they shouldn't have, and today, your actions will confirm that charge..."

Marina trembled slightly.

She clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

"Bright Star?"

Marina hummed and stepped forward, looked at Thales at close range, and said disdainfully: "You look no different from ordinary people, don't you?"

Her eyes slowly turned cold:

"What makes you so important that if you shed even a drop of blood, countless innocent people will be buried with you?"

Thales took a step closer and winked playfully: "Maybe it's because our blood glows?"

Sensing the provocation in the other person's words, Marina frowned.

"Qiang!"

Thales felt chilled in his heart.

I saw the female swordsman in red in front of me pull out the sword blade in her right hand, slowly raise it from her side, and approach the prince's face.

Marina sneered: "Then let us take a look at your..."
