Later that night, in Aranza's residence, Hancock stopped the messenger who was sweating profusely.
She stood on a thin layer of snow, with her white fluffy robe creeping from her shoulders into the pure white snow, like a square ice flower. The stamen of the ice flower was as white and flawless as snow.
, and the same cold face, but the scarlet lips gave it a slightly more frightening look.
"What's up?"
She spoke lightly, and there was no light in her eyes, but as deep as the night.
Her beauty made the messenger couldn't help but lose consciousness. The messenger, who had recently joined the Norland Army, vaguely remembered a rumor in the military camp that she was the woman next to the son of the King of Heroes, the former Four Emperors of Pirates, Han
Han Cook, she has snow-like beauty and snow-like coldness. In fact, to people who have had contact with Han Cook, this woman is like a snow snake that does not hibernate, dormant in the snow, spitting
Dangerous snake letter.
In Aranza's memory, the only woman similar to Hancock is the dragon priest who escaped from the claws of the Dragon King, Nicole Robin, but she is even worse than Hancock. Hancock
Like snow, and she is like an iceberg.
"What's up?"
Hancock frowned slightly and asked again, his voice a little higher than before.
"Yes...yes..."
Only then did the messenger react, but he was shocked to find that he was sweating heavily on his back. This was winter! He did not dare to lose his composure again, and hurriedly said: "It's the news from the city defense army, Miss Elita Lane,
Left Norland City!"
Hancock's frown deepened and he said, "Is it absolutely true?"
"Absolutely true!"
The messenger replied affirmatively. Before he came here to summon the message, Kim Gates, who was the first to receive the news, had already sent people to check Elita's residence, and she had taken away all her things.
"Go back and I will tell Aranza the news."
"yes."
The messenger turned around and left, leaving a trail of footprints on the snow. Only then did Hancock realize that the winter chill had become more intense without making a sound.
Ilita finally left Noland City. Such a result was beyond anyone's imagination.
Aranza buried herself on the sofa in the living room. There was a cup of cooled black tea on the table. Even after not moving for a long time, a light layer of frost had formed on the surface of the black tea.
Hancock sat down in front of Aranza, and her voice was unhurried and said: "Your little knight, Elita is gone."
"Oh!"
Aranza smiled bitterly and defended, "She's not mine."
"Oh, it seems that I overestimated your feelings."
Hancock poured herself a cup of tea and found that the tea was cold. She couldn't help but frown again. Then she put down the tea cup, but then brought the topic back and said: "But, in my opinion, before that, as long as you want her to change
Once she becomes yours, she is yours. Unfortunately, it is impossible now."
Aranza did not answer, but raised the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp. Without the warmth, the black tea became sweeter and smoother, but the moment it fell into her stomach, a cold thorn came from the inside out, stimulating
touching every cell in the body.
After a long time, he sighed heavily and said, "Well, what did I do wrong?"
He is still too immature, and at this time, Hancock, who has gone through the storm, is more like his mentor.
"You are not wrong."
Hancock's lips curled up into a smile and he said, "But that's not true either."
"Um?"
"Tell me, what made you make such a decision to use Li's disaster to destroy Alpha Lane."
At this time, Aranza suddenly clenched his fists, and his joints made a crisp sound. His eyes flashed with ice - the most severe winter might be nothing more than this.
He thought of Jie Xi.
As a result, the icy glare in his eyes pierced through another undetectable pain, but it was enough to drive Aranza crazy. He gritted his teeth and answered word by word: "I want to kill Alpha Lane, no matter what."
means!"
Hancock's reaction was not as violent as Aranza's. She just put away the smile on her face and said, "So your decision was not wrong."
"But why...?!"
Aranza didn't realize that her voice was approaching hysteria: "Why did Elita leave here?!"
"Because you took advantage of Li."
Aranza's expression was stagnant, and there was a struggle on his face. He sat back down and said: "I just... thought... there must be some way, well, I can draw the Fran tribe out to deal with Alpha, and I can rescue Li.
.”
“Nothing can have the best of both worlds.”
Hancock seemed a little tired of Aranza's explanation. Her eyes narrowed slightly and continued: "Besides...Aranza, don't you realize, or don't you dare to face it, that the real reason why Elita left is that you let her down?"
You broke her trust and took advantage of her friends."
"and……"
Her voice suddenly slowed down so that Aranza could hear every note clearly: "And, in other words, you are using your companions, you are playing with their trust in you."
It was like a thunderbolt that suddenly hit Aranza's heart.
Aranza could not find the words to defend himself, he was speechless, they all turned pale. Because this is reality.
Hancock persisted in pursuing him and continued: "Don't you notice that the eyes of your companions have changed when they look at you?"
How could he not notice it? Moreover, Aranza has soul sensing. Any emotional changes of his companions are reflected in his perception very clearly.
He just tried to numb himself.
He has mentioned to his partners countless times that the most important thing to him is his partners.
But at this time, he betrayed his principles for the first time. He didn't know if there would be a second time, but usually, after the first time, the second time was inevitable. It was like being cheated on.
A beaten cat will still not refuse the temptation of fish after the scars have healed.
For a moment, Aranza was confused... His decision seemed to ignore too many things. And all he wanted in his heart was to kill Alpha Lane. It was just revenge...
revenge!
This syllable suddenly made a loud sound in his heart, and he stood up suddenly from his position, with veins popping up on his forehead. Without killing Alpha Lane, he could not calm down the anger in his heart.
"Aranza!"
Hancock's voice was already scolding, and she also stood up, pressing her fingers on Aranza's forehead without any politeness, and said sternly: "I know your past, and I know what you are thinking! But, you give me
Listen clearly, just because of something that made you regret in the past, the decision you make now will make you regret it even more in the future!"
…
While Aranza was still struggling and entangled, on the other side was the city of Matar in Solomon State.
His enemy, Alpha Lane, was enjoying his leisure time in the afternoon. He stood on the balcony on the top floor of the Lord's Palace in Matar City, standing with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the flow of people passing through the city.
Matar City is the central city of Solomon State, and Solomon State is an important territory of the Lane family. The war has always been here. It can be said that even in the war era, the prosperity of Matar City is still as good as in the past, and even,
The war gave merchants in Matar City new business opportunities.
The main industry of Matar City is metal forging. Every day, a large amount of weapons and equipment flows out from here and enters major battlefields, while more gold coins continue to flow into the city. There are only a few of these gold coins.
Part of it will be squandered for enjoyment, and more gold coins will be used again to purchase metal raw materials and higher-level dwarf craftsmen. As a result, another batch of weapons and equipment will be formed.
The war also needs to be maintained, and among the main elements to maintain the war, arms dealers are an indispensable part. They make profits in the war, using money to make their estates more attractive in the collapsed cities and displaced refugees.
Brilliant, use money to buy more beautiful slaves to enjoy.
Alpha likes this kind of world and even appreciates it.
He believes that this is a more complicated game of the jungle, and only those who are smart enough can survive in this era and live better in the future.
But not everyone has the same background as him and the same mind as him. Even those who have the same views as him, most of them are smart-alecks and have become insignificant dust in this era.
At this moment, a figure suddenly broke into Alpha's balcony.
She is a tall woman. Her lower body is wearing a form-fitting metal protective gear, but her upper body is only covered with a white cloth. Her exposed abdomen has obvious eight-pack abs, but it does not make her look too strong.
But a solid beauty.
She is the leader of the Sealed Broken Wings mercenary group, Dolan. The dark blue half-dragon wing-shaped scythe on her back is her symbol.
"Excuse me, Marquis Alpha."
Dolan spoke, attracting Alpha's attention.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Dolan."
Alpha turned around with a bright smile on his face and said, "I wonder why you are looking for me?"
Dolan seemed to be disgusted with the hypocritical expression on Alpha's face, and there was obvious disgust in her eyebrows, but Alpha seemed not to notice, and still kept smiling, waiting for Dolan's next words.
"You don't have to be so polite."
Dolan's language was plain, like a casual conversation with a passerby, and said: "I just want to come over and tell you that your contract with the Sealed Broken Wings Mercenary Group has only one day left until it expires. If you still can't complete it,
If your plan leads to the failure of the mission, it will be regarded as a unilateral breach of the contract by you. We will not bear any responsibility for the failure of the mission... The resulting credibility issue of the Sealed Broken Wings Mercenary Group, please...
"
"I'll let you finish the job."
Alpha interrupted Dolan and said: "In fact, I am planning to summon you and Lord Lista, and the mission will begin immediately."
