Chapter 473 The true meaning of the crime of the prison river
"I remembered, you guys come to the dungeon to find me..."
In the silence between the three of them, Sak'el spoke softly.
"It's because of the modified Dragon Breaker back then. And you've been hinting that our misfortunes all stem from those two unspeakable supreme magic masters."
Ricky looked back and smiled:
"Under destiny, who is not?"
Sacher was not fooled by Ricky's evasive answer. He calmly asked:
"So, the purpose of the Sword of Disaster is the opposite of its name: to fight against disaster?"
Under Sak'el's questioning, Thales suddenly realized that the organization he led was a better breakthrough than asking about the mystery of Ricky.
Ricky tutted and shook his head.
"Correction," Ricky said with a look of disdain:
"We are the inheritors outside the tower, not some 'sword of disaster'."
Thacker stared intently at Ricky.
"You want me to join you, but I know nothing about you. Only the secret department has your records: whether it's those strange ending powers, or your long-term activities as mercenaries in the Western Wilderness."
But Sak'el shook his head:
"But what makes me very strange is that the secret department has always turned a blind eye to you."
Hearing the name of the secret department, Thales felt a chill in his heart.
Thinking of something, he looked at Sak'el, but the latter just shook his head slightly.
Ricky smiled slightly:
"If this can dispel your doubts, the relationship between us knights and the Secret of the Stars is closer than you think."
Hearing this, Thales became vigilant:
He remembered "Dragon's Blood" six years ago.
At that time, the relationship between the secret department and Lumba was closer than he thought. It would be great if Thales was not the last to know.
Perhaps it was the loosening of Sak'el's tone that made him feel hopeful. Ricky continued with a smile:
"More than a hundred years ago, Chu Crasu, who walked out of the Tower of Ending, came to the Kingdom of Stars to avoid being hunted. At that time, it was the time when the 'Red King' was furiously conquering the Blade Valley, and it was the worst period for the relationship between Stars and the Tower of Ending.
."
"At that time, Crassus made a deal with the 'Red King' John II. He obtained the king's permission and asylum, and was able to hide in the Western Wilderness in the name of a mercenary group."
Sak'el and Thales were both startled.
Ricky smiled and gestured to the people around him:
“This is the origin of ‘Blood Whistle’ and what you see, who we are today.”
More than a hundred years ago, Crassus and the Red King, the Sword of Disaster and the Star Kingdom, made a deal?
A thought flashed through Thales' mind.
"What deal?"
Sak'el asked solemnly: "The king has his own royal guards and servants to serve him, so why should he ask an outsider..."
"Convince your subordinates to join us, knight, and I will tell you more," Ricky interrupted Sak'el confidently:
"Believe me, we have no conflict with your beloved kingdom, and we even have a long history."
"And I can help you."
Ricky's tone was full of bewilderment.
But to his disappointment, Sak'el just lowered his head and pondered for a while.
"But the Tower of the End calls you the 'Sword of Disaster'. Is there a reason for this?" the punishment knight said softly.
Ricky sighed:
"Correction, we never admitted that we were a disaster..."
He seems to care about this very much.
But Sak'el suddenly raised his head at this moment, his eyes burning.
"According to your statement, more than a hundred years ago, the first generation Crassus established your organization in the name of a mercenary and hid in the Western Wilderness."
"You know what I remember?"
Ricky raised his eyebrows and made a "so what?" expression.
The next second, Sak'el's tone became serious:
"Coincidentally, it was at that time that an underground mutual aid society that started out as a private liquor dealer in the Western Wasteland was also in Yongxing City. With the acquiescence of many powerful nobles, it gradually grew until it controlled the entire underground world."
Ricky was slightly startled.
Hearing this, Thales had a thought!
The experiences he had in the underground world before he became a prince came back to his mind.
He started out by selling illegal liquor in the Western Wilderness...
Underground mutual aid association...
Powerful nobles...
In Yongxing City, gradually growing...
Take control of the underworld...
Wouldn't that be
"The Blood Bottle Gang?"
Thales said the name subconsciously and couldn't help being surprised.
At that moment, Ricky's face looked ugly.
Thales suddenly understood many things: Sak'el connected him with a bridge of intelligence.
"certainly."
Sak'el confirmed Thales's guess in a cold tone:
"Later, we all knew who was behind the Blood Bottle Gang."
The Blood Bottle Gang...
Thales couldn't help but think of those two strange figures again: one was elegant and elegant, the other was sweet and lovely, but...
Ricky frowned.
The devil suddenly realized:
He underestimated the humans in front of him.
But Sak'el was like a knight in pursuit of victory, and said coldly:
"Then, when the Blood Bottle Gang was booming, Crassus and the inheritance outside the tower he had just established were called the 'Sword of Disaster' by the Terminator Tower?"
At that moment, Ricky's face turned pale.
Thales remembered.
Rolf once told him: During the gang war six years ago, the Blood Bottle Gang once hired swordsmen with strange terminal powers, and they directly took orders...
Asheida.
Not only that, Thales looked at Ricky, whose expression was getting worse and worse, and recalled another detail.
When she was in Longxiao City, Aixida said before leaving...
He is going to the Tower of the End.
Thales clenched his fists involuntarily.
He has never wanted to see the leader behind the Blood Bottle Gang as much as he does now:
Asheida, and...
Well, maybe just Asheida.
"Established together with the Blood Bottle Gang, and attacked with the Disasters," Sak'el's tone was full of ridicule after seeing through the lies:
"Yes, come on, tell me again: you are not the 'Sword of Disaster'?"
Ricky was silent.
Thales watched their confrontation cautiously.
I don’t know when, the aggressive Ricky and the talkative Sak’el have exchanged places.
The one taking the offensive now is the Punishment Knight.
"You don't intend to join us, do you, knight?"
Ricky, whose eyes were getting colder, finally raised his head:
"You followed my wishes just to trick me."
"It's like just guessing that I am a devil."
Sacher snorted coldly.
"You came to me not just to recruit me."
Sak'el gritted his teeth and raised his voice:
"The Blood Bottle Gang and the Disaster were all involved in the turmoil eighteen years ago. Since you have such a good relationship with them, of course you are also among them, right?"
Ricky didn't answer his question again.
The devil's attitude from top to bottom, inside and out, has become extremely indifferent:
"It seems you are good at more than just fighting, knight."
"I'm only good at fighting," Sak'el said calmly, facing Ricky's eyes calmly, even tit for tat:
"But fighting doesn't have to be limited to swords."
The two looked at each other, their eyes like swords, fighting back and forth.
Thales, who was watching aside, felt a chill in his back.
Finally, after the suffocating confrontation, Ricky turned his head.
"Samuel!"
Ricky said coldly:
"I think Sak'el's legs are a little numb from sitting down. Could you kindly accompany your old commander for a walk?"
Samir came from a distance, glanced doubtfully at the two people who were about to fight, and nodded:
"my pleasure."
Sak'el sneered and shook his head.
The punishment knight didn't wait for Samir to help him, then he stood up, dragged his seriously injured body, and limped away.
"So he can walk on his own."
Ricky stared coldly at Sak'el's back, with deep vigilance in his eyes: "Just now, you just showed weakness to me and deliberately made a false statement."
This man is not just a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill.
On the contrary, his insight is sharp and his understanding is amazing.
Even in conversations off the battlefield, he will bully the enemy, show weakness, and set traps...
Get the information he wants.
Punishment Knight...
Ricky tightened his grip on his sword.
"He makes you nervous."
Ricky turned around.
Thales narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon with some schadenfreude: "In the verbal confrontation, you lost to a human, and he got a lot of information out of you, right?"
Ricky's face darkened.
Thales sighed softly:
"But you just said that real demons are so inhumane that you think they are human..."
Listening to the boy repeating the words again, the distracted Ricky frowned:
"What?"
Thales raised his head.
"'Real Devil'?"
Thales said suspiciously:
"What does this mean, Ricky?"
"You mean, you are not a real devil?"
Ricky's cheek moved slightly.
But Thales wasn't done yet.
"Besides, I tried to copy your finishing power in the tavern before, right?"
Thales said softly, paying attention to Ricky's face.
"I know that the power of ending is the pride of mankind... and I also know that whether they are vampires or orcs, their power is very different from the power of human ending."
Thales became serious:
"If you are really the body of a demon living underground and in hell, Ricky... then why do you have the power of termination?"
"Is it true that you are possessing others, as Sak'el said?"
"If so, where did your body come from?"
Ricky's expression turned ugly again.
He suddenly realized...the young man in front of him might not be easier to deal with than Sak'el.
"I told you, Your Highness, there were all kinds of magic in this world," Ricky looked at him deeply:
"And my existence is a little more complicated than you think."
A little more complicated...
When Thales was thinking about how to extract more information, Ricky suddenly interrupted.
"So, use the Sin of Hell River to copy other ending powers, right..."
Ricky narrowed his eyes:
"Did you realize it yourself, or was it taught to you by someone?"
Thales vaguely knew that the other party was changing the subject, but he had to admit that the thing he used to change the subject attracted the boy's attention.
The sin of the prison river.
A black sword appeared in front of Thales' eyes.
"Does it matter?"
Ricky smiled and said:
"certainly."
"If you thought of it, you're pretty good."
But Ricky's expression immediately changed, as if a cold wave was coming:
"If someone else taught you..."
I saw Ricky saying coldly and seriously:
"Then he intends to harm you."
"Or I don't want you to make any progress at all."
For a moment, Thales was completely stunned.
Harm me?
Thinking about the opponent's identity as a demon, Thales was about to retort disdainfully, but he suddenly remembered the scene when he parted with Black Sword.
Regarding the Sin of Hell River...after tonight, you'd better not use it again.
No way?
The young man clenched his fist subconsciously.
Thinking of this, Thales's sarcastic words about to speak paused for a moment, and finally turned into a rhetorical question:
"Harm me? What do you mean?"
Ricky took a deep breath and calmly. Thales suspected that what the other party wanted was this kind of comfort of seeing others confused and him being the one to solve them. He leaned back, shook his head and smiled:
"Because the changing characteristics of the Sin of Hell River have so many uses, there are so many ways to improve yourself..."
"But you chose the stupidest, least efficient, most troublesome, and most boring one."
Ricky's eyes flashed with a profound look on his face:
"imitate."
Thales frowned:
"Any questions?"
Ricky snorted coldly.
"Of course, the first generation Crassus once discussed this issue."
Thales's heart moved: The first generation Crassus?
That's the one...
"I know, it might be effective, interesting, and impressive at first," this time, Ricky was uncharacteristically looking at him seriously and said:
"Is this the 'omnipotent power of ending'?"
Upon hearing "the almighty power of ending", Thales's expression changed.
"So you think that your future journey is to meet powerful masters, and when you encounter a useful power of termination, you will activate your sin of the Hell River, imitate and copy it, and easily collect it as your trophy.
, cheating to gain their power?”
The young man was stunned.
He still... really hasn't thought about this problem.
He has imitated quite a few people over the years, but...
"So, to you, the power of termination is an apple or a sword," Ricky's expression became more severe, and it was especially clear in the rumbling sounds around him:
"You can eat it when you put it in your mouth, and you can use it when you put it in your hand?"
Thales was confused by his sudden harsh tone.
Ricky then snorted softly.
"Tell me, Thales."
This time, Ricky, who either called him your highness distantly or jokingly called him "dear", unexpectedly called out Thales' name.
Ricky said coldly:
"Do you think this is the meaning of the Sin of Hell River, or even the true meaning of the power of ending?"
Thales raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment:
"Uh... no?"
Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to say "yes".
But Thales had a feeling: Whether it was his previous duel with Barney and Sak'el, or telling the stories of his subordinates, or now talking about the crime of the Prison River to himself, it seemed that whenever he encountered certain topics,
Ricky seemed like a different person.
It was as if that was the only...last respect he had left.
At this moment, Ricky stared directly at Thales, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"Barney, if I remember his name correctly, have you ever imitated his finishing power?"
Tails, who was thinking about what kind of person Ricky was, was stunned for a moment.
