1:196 The second coming to the land of sorrow (Part 2)
1:196 Return to Misery (Part 2)
Arthur followed Bedivere's instructions and sneaked into a room. In fact, there was no point in sneaking. He knew in his heart that all the guards nearby had been killed long ago.
Then he saw a man sitting on the ground crying.
Corvis sat there dejectedly, with various research materials scattered on the floor, as if to reflect the Leopard Man's decadence.
"What...what are you doing here, Corvis?" Arthur asked in confusion.
"It's my fault. It's all my fault." The Leopard Man covered his face and cried, "It was my stupidity that turned that child into a monster. It was me who stupidly abandoned that monster. You can tell me."
Yes, I am really a scumbag, I am not qualified to be his father."
"Uh, what are you talking about? Are you okay, Corvis?" Arthur said, but he couldn't take his eyes away from the red color spreading on Corvis' abdomen. He knew that Corvis
The abdominal injury was very serious. If something was not done, he would really die.
(will die?)
(If I die, what does it have to do with me?)
Arthur himself was surprised that he would actually show mercy to his enemies.
But at this moment, in Arthur's eyes, Corvis is just a weak, decadent, hopeless and helpless man.
An adult man can actually cry so desperately in front of others. His spirit has become irreparably fragile.
Looking at Corvis like this, Arthur couldn't help but think of a certain figure.
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry, Arthur." The man held his beloved wife and cried desperately. Beside him was his dead eldest son, and his younger son who was dying and on the verge of death.
Memories that should have been forgotten stung Arthur's head.
At the same time, Merlin looked at the information on the ground, his eyes filled with complex expressions of fear, hope, and despair.
"Pandora.------Is it really Pandora?" Merlin muttered in a low voice. He looked lost. "After searching in countless time and space, I finally found you!"
Bedi looked at the three lost people in the room and didn't know what to do for a moment. He walked over to support the seriously injured Kovis, and whispered comfort: "Let's go quickly, now... it's not time yet."
Chi, Lavis is waiting for you to go back, and so is Torvir. No matter what wrong thing you have done, you must not die like this. Don't die, your sons need you!"
"Lavis------" Kovis then remembered, "That's right...Lavis! I have to save him, he is my only hope left. I--"
--＂
"Isn't that Tor'vir?" Arthur interrupted the Leopard Man's nonsense angrily.
"...I don't have a son like that." Kovis said stubbornly.
A heavy punch severely dented half of Kovis's face, and then he flew out and hit the wall hard!
"I hit you with this punch for Torvir, damn bastard!" Arthur yelled.
Corvis didn't get up. He covered his face and didn't even dare to face Arthur.
"Hey, you bastard! Stand up!?" Arthur said, "Let's continue the duel at noon today!? It seems that I can't get rid of this anger without beating you half to death with my fists."
"Stop hitting him, he will really die if you hit him again!" Bedi stopped him.
"...If...if I die, Lavis will ask you to take care of me, okay?" Kovis said with a blank look on his face.
"Idiot, do you think this is a kindergarten?" Arthur said angrily, "Who is going to help you take care of your children!"
He stabbed the computer beside him with a sword, and the golden sword immediately destroyed the computer. The short-circuited computer immediately caused a fire, igniting the data scattered on the ground.
This is exactly the effect Arthur wants. The dirty and ugly research here needs to be burned away to relieve the hatred in Arthur's heart.
Merlin, who was still in a daze, came to his senses when he saw the light of fire. "Fire, fire?! No!!!" He was so panicked that he didn't even know how to use magic. He actually took off his robe and used it to try to extinguish the flames!
"Don't come close! Do you want to be burned to death?!" Bedivere hurriedly grabbed Merlin who was about to run over to put out the fire. How could such a huge fire be extinguished with just a robe!
"No! Don't burn it! That's the clue to find Pandora!!!" Merlin shouted at the top of his lungs.
Arthur didn't have time to pay attention to Merlin's shouting. He walked over and dragged the frustrated Leopard Man out of the data room.
The fire alarm has started to sound, and there is still one bomb left on Arthur's side that has not yet been installed.
"What are you doing?! The alarm went off and you haven't fixed it yet?!" Tristan on the other end of the communicator shouted, "Hurry up!"
Their panic was actually unnecessary. The institute's security guards had already been wiped out by Corvis, and now the place was like a dead city. Even the fire in the data room had no one coming to put out the fire.
Arthur installed the bomb silently, "Okay, let's go back."
"Before that, let's go somewhere first," Bedivere said, and he whispered into Merlin's ear a few times.
"I know, I know, let's go now." Merlin replied in despair.
"Teleport!"
Everyone teleported to a small house. The simple brick house had been in disrepair for a long time and the peeling walls seemed to bear witness to the decadence of the owner of the house.
Boom! The research institute a few kilometers away exploded at this time. The sky-high flames illuminated the night even brighter than the day. A lot of dust shook off the ceiling of the house.
"...Lavis!" Corvis pushed Arthur aside and walked into the bedroom. Arthur was afraid that he would escape and tip off, so he followed him.
The leopard boy was lying quietly on the bed, still unconscious. The emaciated figure made Arthur understand that this boy was not Toviel, but Toviil's brother as Bedi said.
He still didn't understand what Kovis was talking about, but he had a vague feeling that Kovis was just a victim.
"Arthur..." Kovis covered the increasingly worsening wound on his abdomen and knelt in front of Arthur, "I know I'm dying, but... please save this child."
! He is my only hope! For him, I can even die!"
"I refuse." Arthur said, "Your family has brought me enough trouble. I don't want to go through this mess again------"
Before he could finish speaking, Kovis broke one of his arms!
"If that's not enough, you can break the leg!" Covis begged, "I know I have done a lot of excessive things to you! But...but this child is innocent! Please save me."
This child! You can kill me, but...please use my life...in exchange for...his...life! I------＂
The Leopard Man, who had lost a lot of blood, suddenly went into shock and collapsed to the ground.
"You are so despicable, Corvis." Arthur covered his face and said with a tired look, "Why do you leave a mess to me to clean up every time, you damn bastard------"
He was clearly an enemy before, but now he had to pity him. Even Arthur cursed in his heart that he was worthless.
The next morning.
When Corvis the Leopard Man woke up, he found himself lying on the bed.
The wound on the abdomen felt like fire, and the internal organs also felt like fire. It was probably a serious infection.
"Ravi------" He tried to get up.
"You'd better not move around." Arthur asked coldly from the side, "Who implanted those messy things in your internal organs? Why did you implant photon reflectors and barrier generators in your internal organs?"
?Will those things be useful if they are implanted in the internal organs?!"
"..." Faced with Arthur's series of questions, Corvis only replied in a low voice: "Pandora Project..."
"What exactly is the Pandora plan? Tell me!" Merlin asked hurriedly.
"They... discovered a special substance called [dark particles] from a meteorite... that thing can cause biological mutations...
Make [Dark Creature]." Leopard Man said feebly, "They... they used that to turn my son... into a monster."
"And you just sit back and let the foxes do this to your child. You are such a responsible father." Arthur scolded.
"I didn't. I didn't!" Covis couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this, "I thought it was an anti-fetal medicine for my wife."
"I obviously believe in the patriarchs so much!" he cried.
"..." Arthur was speechless. He knew very well from the beginning that Corvis was also a victim. But he had nowhere to vent his sullenness. He really wanted to find someone to scold him.
Pause. But facing Kovis like this, he couldn't curse, so he could only hold in his suffocation.
"...Did you miss? Is it just the same name?" Merlin sighed. "...It seems that the orcs have gone crazy to win this war. They are really using any means necessary."
He can do any despicable and cruel things."
"People will do whatever it takes just to survive. If I were in their position, I would probably do the same thing." Grand Duke Hall came over at this time and said.
"Grand Duke------"
"Okay, let me talk to him." Hall winked at Arthur.
"Leopard warrior, you have two choices now." Hall said, "If you swear allegiance to Arthur, your life and your son's life will be saved. Otherwise, we will remove you and your son from this place."
Expelled from the medical room, we are no longer responsible for your life or death."
"...Do you want me to be loyal to humanity?" Kovis hesitated.
"Wrong, it's not loyalty. I want you to become a slave and serve Arthur until your death." Hall corrected, "He saved your life and your son's life. Isn't this a reward that is too much?"
Kovis closed his eyes weakly and sighed. He had no choice at all. Lavis would be too weak to die if he didn't get an intravenous drip for three days. His own injury wouldn't heal in a few weeks, and he would die without antibiotics.
quick.
"Okay. You can do whatever you want." He sighed.
"Swear." Hall used something like a magic seal to point on the Leopard Man's head and said, "Speak your oath clearly. If you dare to betray in the future, this seal will immediately erode your brain."
Nerves, you will bleed from all seven holes and die badly."
"...I, Cetovia Corvis of the Windspeaker Clan, hereby swear that from now on, I will always be loyal to Pantorakon's Knight Arthur Kelton until my death.
Hugh. If you dare to betray my master in the future, you will definitely bleed from every hole and die badly." Leopard Man said.
"Okay, it's done. You can have a good rest." Grand Duke Hall put away his fingers, and the light on the incantation above Corvis's head began to fade, leaving only an indelible mark.
Only Merlin, who is proficient in magic, knows that this so-called oath engraving is just a tattoo magic that carves marks on the body, and has no effect at all on binding oaths. He knows the real oath engraving magic, but he does not intend to
Take it out and use it.
"I want to see Lavis..." Kovis whispered.
Arthur pointed to the hospital bed beside him. The young leopard man was sleeping peacefully there.
Kovis closed his eyes with peace of mind. The infection made him groggy, and now he couldn't move at all, so he had to continue sleeping peacefully.
