As night falls, another group of people fills the streets of Gaoting. The mellow smell of alcohol is wafting away, and the hotel rooms are already full.
A carriage was parked outside the noble courtyard, and the silhouettes in the glass windows flickered. There was no one in the huge mansion, or it could be said that there had never been any servants.
This person is the buyer of the contracted beast egg. As the Earl of Highgarden, he naturally has a prominent status. But no one knows his other identity.
Sitting in the room, he slowly filled the wine glass. The light brown liquid slid down his throat and into his abdomen, and the cold fresh beef continued to seep blood.
Wherever there are people, there are aliens. It's like there are countless dark sewage ditches hidden in a town no matter how bright the sun is.
Because of reluctance, we leave; because of nostalgia, we remember; because we have seen many things clearly, people increasingly forget their true intentions.
Chasing the Sun Hills, Soldier Halberd City. The young boy was pulled by the clan leader and slowly walked into the palace. Under the sunset, he cut his wrist, swore an oath with blood, and became the troll clan's spy. p>
He gave up his father, his sister who cared about him the most, his lover, and his only playmate. The boy changed from a wooden boat to a carriage, and then from a carriage to walking.
In the end, he crossed the Golden Halberd Plain, entered the High Garden, and became an outstanding student of the Principality Academy. With fighting spirit and sword shadows everywhere, the young man graduated as a high-level warrior in just two years.<
/p>
It was in that year that he was given the title of earl and became the reserve adjutant of the principality's legion. The past events were gradually forgotten, and he did not want to be alone anymore.
Sunchasing Hills and Halberd City are all just dispensable terms. He comes from Screaming Beach and has been a member of the bloodthirsty bat clan from beginning to end.
The ethnic group, which was originally sparse in population, gradually rose to prominence because of the queen, but was also plunged into despair and fear because of the queen. In order to become stronger, members of the tribe disappeared inexplicably every year.
But no one will discuss this situation in private, and no one will even feel resentful about it. This is the only way for the rise of the race, a thorny road paved with the bones of blood relatives.
The young man drank the wine in one gulp. His pupils were red and his finger joints gradually turned white. The sloshing light brown liquid was filled with resentment towards himself and his fellow tribesmen.
Standing up slowly, his expression changed from confusion to resentment, and finally settled on unwillingness. The iron lock in the basement collided with the ground with a loud noise, and the inaudible begging for mercy kept hovering in the air.
"Are you sure this is where it is? I rarely give you gifts." Boom asked, holding the magic crystal in one hand and twisting the black wooden staff in the other.
"That's right, I can smell that alluring fragrance, the water contract beast egg!" Rikka drew out the two meteorite swords and replied with excitement.
The familiar action appeared again, but this time Rikka took the lead in sitting on the high wall and handed it to Boom. Boom smiled bitterly and was lifted into the air by Rikka, and then the two sneaked into the Earl's mansion.
"The egg of the mayfly, the source of magic, the scarlet vacuum..." Boom! With a loud noise, the iron door of the basement fell into pieces, and the count was lying on the spot vomiting blood.
"Rikka!" Boom almost bit off his tongue because of this. The black wooden staff shook in the air, but it gave off a little fluorescence.
"I'm sorry, brother, we can't allow you to be put in danger, and now is not the time to worry about these things." Rikka walked towards the count youth and stepped on his chest.
Blood continued to gush out of his mouth, and the young man's body was gradually covered with hair. After being seriously injured, he lost the ability to transform into a human form and transformed back into the bloodthirsty bat body again.
Rikka was not surprised at all, because she smelled the scent of a beast since she stepped into the room. But Boom's eyes widened. No matter how carefully he thought about it, he would not have thought that the other party was not a human being.
"If you have any last words, you can say them now." Boom squatted in front of the young man and said softly.
"You humans are really an interesting race, but in fact, in this world, there is no empathy at all."
After the young man said this, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. And his body finally turned into a beast.
Rikka slowly retracted her feet, and Boom also stood up. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and after putting the contracted beast egg into the dimensional space, they turned around and left.
But a voice suddenly sounded in the basement, which seemed very ethereal and even more feeble.
"Please...please, if possible, can you let us go? At least let my sister go, she is going to die, really going to die."
The tip of the black wooden staff flashed fluorescently, and then a fireball appeared out of thin air. The outline of the basement was reflected, and the sound came from the iron cage in the corner.
This is an extremely solid prison, and there are two people, or two pure-blood elves, locked inside. Their pale golden hair is messy, and their supposedly handsome faces are covered with scars.
Next to the young man, there was a dying girl. Her face was as white as snow, and her neck was covered with bite marks.
However, Rikka, who wanted to help, was stopped by Boom. Boom did not have Rikka's rich emotions, so naturally he would not fall for the other party's miserable appearance.
"Two questions, who are you and why are you here?" Boom stared at the boy and asked coldly.
"My sister and I were abducted from the Shimmering Forest and ended up becoming the daily food of that bloodthirsty bat. I can promise you anything, but I beg you to save my sister."
The young man's arms were always around each other. Although his body was already very thin, his eyes were as clear as the bright moon under the reflection of the firelight.
"How can I believe what you say, and what obligation do I have to do so?" Boom asked again, regardless of Rikka's constant begging.
"I don't have anything now. If you want to kill us, then go ahead." The elf boy was stunned when he heard this, but he replied honestly.
"Then live on, at least you are honest." Boom motioned to Rikka to break the iron prison, but Rikka had already taken out countless pills from the dimensional space.
After some fussing, the girl slowly opened her eyes. Although she was still weak, she still held on to her life. Seeing this, the young man bowed and saluted again.
"Thank you...Thank you big sister, thank you big brother. I will remember your appearance and be grateful for the rest of my life." The girl looked at Boom and Rikka and said with a smile.
Boom frowned. He didn't like this scene, so he got up and walked out of the basement, leaving all subsequent questions to Rikka.
Rikka stuffed the boy with many pills, and there were also a lot of gold coins in them. The boy wanted to express his thanks again, but Rikka covered his mouth.
"I have received favors from the elves. These are just some rewards. As for whether you can return to Shimmer Forest, it depends on you, my brother."
Rikka patted the boy on the shoulder and ran to Boom. It was night, a fire broke out in the noble district, and a certain count's mansion was burned to ashes.
But the two thin figures left the High Garden, and Boom and Rikka stood in the alley, watching each other disappear into the night.
"Twilight Forest, if you really go there one day, it would be fun." Rikka held Boom's arm and said softly.
"Are the contracted beast eggs delicious? Can I try them too?" Boom slowly took off the mother-child mask and asked his biggest doubt tonight.
