"Damn Goddess of Destiny, I knew it was like this. You've been playing tricks on me for so many years, why don't you let me go?" Seeing his wife and daughter in danger, De Niro snorted coldly and gave up the rescue.
The scumbag man has been completely disappointed.
Once upon a time, his wife was the woman he cherished most, and his daughter was the treasure he cherished the most. But after the duel more than ten years ago, his entire life was ruined.
Nine years ago, my daughter, who was only seven years old, became a magic user through hard work and showed extremely rare talents. She was extremely talented and could be said to be a unique genius.
The scumbag thought that his chance to make a comeback had come. He wanted to use Juliet to help him reach the top of his life, so he devoted all his efforts to training her, teaching her, magic stones, potions, as long as his daughter needed resources, he would not hesitate to cheat and kidnap her.
, steal or rob to get it.
To be honest, for an injured civilian magic user, no matter how hard the scumbag works, the amount of money he can get is limited, but even a medium-grade magic stone will cost thousands of gold coins.
Life was very hard, but his daughter did not disappoint him. It only took him half a year to reach the war level. This performance was so perfect that it was enough to defeat many talented children of wealthy nobles.
Just when the scumbag man was dreaming of becoming a master and a lord of a land, the nightmare came. Juliet, who had entered the first level of war, no matter how hard she tried, her cultivation stagnated because she lost control of the soul tree.
.
No matter how much magic energy Juliet absorbs, the Soul Tree will instantly drain it away, leaving her with only a little magic energy in her body and unable to release any martial arts at all.
The scumbag man spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment, and even asked a bishop to diagnose Juliet, but the answer he got made him despair.
Juliet suffers from a very rare blood disease, and the soul tree is out of control. It will continue to drain the host's magic energy. When the magic energy is exhausted, life will be drained until the host dies.
Why has the scumbag lived in such poverty for so many years? In addition to losing hope and waiting to die, all the money earned by his wife and daughter was spent on buying magic stones.
Juliet's natural absorption of magic energy alone cannot keep up with the consumption of the soul tree. Without the magic energy, it will absorb life, and this kind of pain is just like cramps and marrow peeling, and the pain is so painful that the whole person's soul will be broken.
Already.
In order to extend her daughter's life, Miliya often works around the clock to make money. If it weren't for the body of a magic user, she would have died of exhaustion.
As the soul tree continues to absorb magic energy, it becomes more and more prosperous, which causes it to require more magic energy. However, even if Juliet meditates hard and consumes a lot of magic stones, in exchange for
The soul tree is also more lush.
This is an endless cycle. The Soul Tree is like a greedy ancient beast, constantly devouring Juliet's life. After so many years, she will die at the age of twenty at most.
In fact, if it weren't for Miliya's enlightenment and comfort, Juliet would have chosen to commit suicide. Almost every three days, she would have to endure the pain of draining her life. If she hadn't been accustomed to her father's abuse and this kind of torture since she was a child, she would never have committed suicide.
Can't stand it.
"Be obedient and live well!"
Miliya pushed Juliet, even if her daughter only had less than four years left in her life, she would not let her die in front of her.
"no I do not!"
Juliet bit her lip. The smell of blood filled her mouth, making her even more crazy. She threw herself on her mother to block the vulture's claws.
"De Niro, look after the horses for me!"
Hearing the girl's cries, Downton couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed the bearded man who was running past him, and then rushed towards the mother and daughter nearly a hundred meters away.
De Niro looked at Downton's back, froze for a moment, then grabbed the reins and ran away, muttering to himself, "Another Templar knight poisoned by the goddess's teachings."
"Downton, what are you doing? Come back!" Anthony was startled. In fact, he really wanted to tell the boy that even if you save them now, they will die in the next adventure.
"He is indeed a Templar with eight virtues." Triangle Eyes gloated, wishing that Downton would die.
"If I didn't have a mission, I would go and save them." The middle-aged knight waved his sword and blessed Downton with a swift radiance with one hand.
"Haha, my husband doesn't care about them anymore, so why is he licking his face? I think this kid is probably attracted to that pretty young woman." Triangle Eyes slandered Downton and gave his companion the long-haired archer a look.
Tell him not to protect that kid.
Downton, who was running wildly, drew his double swords, and after rushing to 30 meters, he directly launched Giant Charge.
boom!
The air flow rolled up by Downton blew away the volcanic ash on the ground. He crashed into the vulture like a chariot, slashed with both swords, then jumped up and cast Giant Windmill.
Juliet was completely desperate and prepared to die, but she saw Downton spinning over her head and cutting two vultures into pieces.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Blood and feathers fell, like a death feast.
"Why are you dazed? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Downton landed, and with a giant seal from his saber, he dispersed the vultures that pounced on the mother and daughter again.
"oh oh!"
She subconsciously responded twice, without bothering to wipe the blood on her face. Juliet supported her injured mother and ran away. She knew that staying behind would be a burden. The sooner she left, the sooner Downton would be safe.
Several more vultures chased after her, but before they could get close to Juliet, they were blasted away by dragon bombs.
Listening to the war roars and the screams of the vultures coming from behind, Juliet's cheeks became wet. It took her a long time to realize that they were tears.
The years of abuse had made her cry all her tears long ago, and she had forgotten the taste of tears. When they crossed the corner of her mouth, the sour and salty taste revived the warmth in her heart, and seemed to ignite a fire in her chest.
A ball of flame.
Juliet choked, uncontrollable tears welling up like a fountain, scratching her cheeks, dripping on the volcanic ash, and making small craters.
"He is a true knight." Miliya lamented, how can I repay this kindness?
After Juliet supported her mother and rushed more than fifty meters, she felt that the vultures were no longer chasing her, and she finally had time to look back. The figure of the young man was not burly, but at this moment, in her eyes, he was as tall as a mountain.
If there is a god in the world? Why doesn't it come to save me? Why does she have to suffer so much? Juliet, who couldn't figure it out, had long believed that there was no god in the world, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that that boy
, isn’t he his own god?
"That boy is finished!"
When he saw a group of vultures besieging Downton and he couldn't escape at all, Triangle Eyes was overjoyed.
"Pity!"
The deputy leader lamented that Downton's fighting ability was good, but it was a pity that his rank was too low, otherwise he would definitely be qualified to become the main force.
Downton did not give up. He intercepted the vultures that were chasing Juliet and her daughter. After attracting all the firepower, he took out a bottle of Swift Shadow Potion from his combat bag, opened the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth.
Giant Roar activates!
Taking advantage of the interval when the vultures were stunned, Downton twisted his waist and swung his arms, and the giant windmill blasted out, directly strangling the group of vultures, fighting a way out, and then launched a giant charge, leaping more than thirty meters, and then ran wildly.
"I'm Dipolo, right? So fierce?"
Dongba was so shocked that his mouth opened wide enough to stuff a dragon egg into it.
"Xunying Potion? This guy is really willing to give it up!"
The female mage always kept this potion for escaping, so she knew that each potion cost hundreds of gold coins. If the effect was better and the price was higher, he actually used it in order to save a burdensome mother and daughter.
"Why so slow?" Downton ran to the mother and daughter, put one hand on his waist and activated Heaven Shine.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The vulture that was chasing behind missed its attack and hit the floor, but it quickly fluttered its wings and fought back.
Dongba and another archer took action, shooting arrows indiscriminately to intercept the vultures. They were not doing it for the mother and daughter, but because they saw Downton's potential and sold him a favor, and they might receive ten times the reward in the future.
.
Miliya's left breast was pressed against Downton's waist, and the friction caused by running made her uncomfortable, but she did not complain.
After the team rushed more than 500 meters, the vultures stopped chasing and flew back to the corpse to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
Downton counted a total of nine people dead, all of whom were of relatively low rank.
"Boy, that's good!" Beard-whisker hit Downton on the chest. The other party had already won his respect with his strength.
"Thank you!" Miliya thanked her.
"Be careful!" Downton waved his hand and released the three divine winds. In addition to himself, he also treated the mother and daughter. Then he took out a magic stone from his deerskin backpack to replenish the exhausted magic energy.
Anthony thought for a while and gave up blaming Downton.
"Sir Knight, this is your horse. Nothing is missing." The scumbag man led the horse and ran to Downton, handing out the reins. As for his wife and daughter, he didn't care at all.
Downton doesn't want to talk to such a scumbag.
"Tsk, tsk, you're a wealthy man, if you just take out a piece, it's a top-quality magic stone." Triangle Eyes was very jealous. This kid looked like he was wearing ordinary clothes, but the things he used were very valuable.
The eyes of the others also fell on the magic stone in Downton's hand. They all had good eyesight. Seeing the boy's completely untroubled look, they knew that he often used magic stones of this quality.
The bearded man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wanted it very much, so he followed Downton and showed his courtesy, "Are you tired? Leave the horses and luggage to me to take care of them. I guarantee there won't be any problems."
"No need." Downton refused.
"It's free of charge, in return for saving their mother and daughter." The scumbag man found a reason to follow Downton and grabbed the reins, "Why are you standing still? If you're not dead, come and take care of the Lord Knight.
"
"No!" Downton forcefully pushed the bearded man away and walked to the front.
"Now do you know how dangerous the lava secret realm is? We are just food to those monsters." The deputy leader reassured everyone.
After the heat and the crisis of vulture hunting, the morale of the team has dropped a lot. When Anthony was thinking of a way to relax, a group of cavalry appeared on the horizon again. (To be continued...)
