When life is about to enter death, will you look at this life from another perspective and discover the forgotten truths?
Pain came from all parts of the body, like thousands of centipedes crawling around and tearing Bite apart inside the body, but the powerful heartbeat was stubbornly and difficultly overcoming this desperate situation, sending the remaining blood to various parts of the body to nourish those endangered organs and cells.
Fire Pig I feel that I have never been so fragile, and every breath of air is filled with such luxury.
But he survived, in a way that he had never imagined.
Who saved him?
He doesn't have any relatives, and his so-called subordinates only have limited loyalty. Looking for a backer and allies are not worthy of trust.
Pigs have become fat and will be eaten. Although he is not a real pig, as Orc with a similar bloodline, he will occasionally be affected by this invisible concept and produce some kind of sadness and anxiety.
It seems that I still have some use value, and someone is willing to save me.
Fire Pig managed to open his remaining eye and slowly propped himself up with his only arm. This was probably the advantage given by "Blood Law" Aspect Power. The tenacious vitality was slowly transmitted to all parts of the body along with the heartbeat, allowing it to slowly recover.
Looking around, Fire Pig saw corpses and wounded everywhere. Those Four Fingers's men were wailing everywhere at the moment, their voices were weak and undulating. Soon he also discovered the source of all this.
--The girl standing under Black Griffin.
The black skirt fluttered slowly in the air currents fanned by Griffin. Her beautiful black hair and figure exuded awe-inspiring charm. Fire Pig was stunned.
So beautiful
Even a rough guy like him can feel the pure beauty. It seems that he did not lose unfairly, and Four Fingers also lost. Thinking of this, his inner unwillingness and annoyance dissipated a lot.
"Fire Pig, Hedra is asking you something." Four Fingers came over and told the other party the current situation.
The mountain-sized figure nodded, no longer ignoring it as before.
"That girl is locked up in the kitchen basement of house No. Jasmine Street 53."
"Dragon Eye treasure..." Fire Pig stopped mid-sentence.
"Can you tell me what you will do with me?"
Sylutia heard this and guessed that Fire Pig was worried about the punishment from "Bionics School", and the price of that punishment was probably death. After all, he was just the leader of the underground world. If he stole the treasures of the school, where would the majesty and reputation of the school be without heavy punishment?
"I will report what happened and report it truthfully." Sylutia replied.
"That's it..." The little fantasy in Fire Pig's heart dissipated again.
It seems that death cannot be escaped. He wriggled his lips and looked around again. The eyes of Four Fingers's subordinates looked at him with ridicule, indifference, greed, hatred, etc.
Yes, who wants him to live?
Fire Pig used one arm and a broken leg to move slowly on the ground. Although everyone didn't understand what he was going to do at this time, they also knew that he would not live long and no one stopped him.
In this way, he slowly reached the stone table in the cave and leaned his body against the large round stone table.
Then Fire Pig slowly touched the cold stone table with his hand, which he personally built more than ten years ago, in order to use this stone table to hold a "Feast Ritual" meal one day.
It's a pity that he can't use it anymore.
In the past ten years or so, he has had many dreams, dreaming of enjoying a feast here, and he would always be sad when he woke up from the dream, because the dream would end at critical moments, probably because he could not imagine what the legendary "feast" would be like.
However, could he really not see the legendary feast?
Suddenly, an idea came into his mind like lightning, making him laugh and feel relieved.
"That treasure "Dragon Eye" was sealed under the stone table by me. Let me unseal it and return it to you." He answered the previous question.
After saying that, he climbed onto the stone table and moved little by little to the center of the stone table. The place he passed was covered with blood.
Regarding Fire Pig, everyone present was both surprised and felt that it was indeed the case.
Fire Pig hid so many treasures here, there is no reason for the "Dragon Eye" treasure to be placed elsewhere. As a stolen treasure, it does need to be sealed and hidden, which is very reasonable.
Sylutia didn't stop him at this moment, he just tilted his head slightly and watched Fire Pig take action.
Arriving at the center of the stone table, Fire Pig took hold of one of his fangs, used force to break it off, and then inserted it into the center of the stone table.
After doing this, he seemed to have expended a lot of energy. He lay on the stone table and panted. Although everyone was a little anxious at this moment, they did not go up to scold him. After all, Fire Pig was in really bad condition.
The blood slowly flowed along the lines carved on the stone table, and then Fire Pig stood up again, holding the fang inserted into the stone table with one hand, and hummed an unknown tune.
The tune is ancient and has the atmosphere of the wilderness, and then a faint red light emerges on the stone table.
The power of "Blood Law"Aspect Power overflowed and slowly echoed in the hall, and then the fangs that erected the stone table emitted a little bit of the power of "Beast Fang"Aspect Power, like Key, causing the "Blood Law" power on the stone table to form special lines.
Soon, a light blue shadow slowly rose from under the stone table and then appeared.
It was a large piece of Azure Stone, with a Cold Song Dragon eye pupil wrapped in it.
Azure Stone is slightly blue and transparent in color, with many neat cross-sections cut out on the edges. Under the light of the flames, it reflects a little bit of brilliance, which is very beautiful. But the most eye-catching thing is the huge eye pupil in Azure Stone. Just one pupil is wider than the shoulders of Sylutia. It still remains open vertically, making creatures who look at those pupils for the first time feel afraid and weak in the legs.
[Cold Song Dragon Eye] (Level 4·Dragon Eye): The pupil left by the dead Cold Song Dragon retains its own Aspect Power essence. Unfortunately, as time goes by, most of the power of Aspect Power has dissipated, and the level has been reduced to the fourth level.
If you possess dragon blood, or are Lizardman, you can use the blood inheritance ceremony to obtain information on the two abilities "Cold Wind Breath" and "Ultimate Cold Dragon Song" from this treasure.
After the treasure "Dragon Eye" appeared, everyone present looked at it greedily.
As one of the top Aspect Powers, "Dragon Eye" is extremely powerful and rare, which also results in the treasure value of this Aspect Power being much higher than that of other Aspect Powers. Moreover, the pupils of this Aspect Power are so well preserved that many ancient rituals require dragon eyes as essential materials.
At this point, everyone originally thought it was over. After that, they just went to find the missing girl and report it.
But the light on the stone table did not dissipate. The blood-red halo still lingered and flowed on the table, causing the "tusks" and "Dragon Eye" on the stone table to emit a strange resonance halo.
This is?
Doubts arose in the hearts of many people present, but no one took action immediately. They just didn't know why the Blood Law light on the stone table was still shining, and a strange aura began to escape.
A faint strange fragrance emerged in the air. At this time, many hazy phantoms emerged in the tunes hummed by Fire Pig. They sang and danced around the stone table, holding various things in their hands, including bones, knives and axes, torches, and meat skewers. The dance was ancient and rhythmic.
The illusion of various delicacies began to appear on the stone table, which seemed to be the various meat delicacies that had appeared since the birth of civilization, including steaming, roasting, and frying.
Smelling this strange fragrance, everyone alive at the scene was aroused in appetite, salivation, and a certain feeling of expectation and joy filled their hearts.
Fire Pig on the stone table looked at the illusions around him, his eyes were hazy, and the tune in his mouth continued, with a hint of relief and satisfaction in his voice.
It turns out that this is the scene of the feast
It's so beautiful
He felt that his consciousness was gradually blurring, and the tune in his mouth was gradually getting out of shape, but it didn't matter now, the ceremony could proceed automatically, and his wish finally came true.
He saw the feast, even though he was the feast for others to enjoy.
"It's really troublesome." A clear voice sounded in this groggy scene, like a basin of cold water being poured down.
The black Griffin trampled with its sharp claws, directly trampling the stone table where the ceremony was performed, and then grabbed the Dragon Eye wrapped in Azure Stone, grabbed it, tore off its connection with the ceremony, and forcibly interrupted the "Feast Ritual".
Sylutia stood on Black Griffin's shoulders and looked down coldly. She directed Griffin to retrieve the Dragon Eye treasure. Then Black Griffin flapped its wings, and the cold wind swept across, waking everyone present from the drowsiness of "Feast Ritual".
The ceremony was interrupted, and Fire Pig's life, which was about to be extinguished, once again left a weak flame. He slumped in a pile of stones and looked at the mess on the ground.
If the ceremony continues, his body will absorb the power of "Dragon Eye" and "Beast Fang" and turn into delicacies on "Feast Ritual" for everyone present to enjoy, but this process was interrupted by Sylutia.
"I hate smart people, why can't you just listen to me?"
If these people had followed her words from the beginning, the current result would not have been achieved.
Fire Pig will not be dying, Four Fingers will not be seriously injured, everyone can have a relatively decent outcome, and they may not necessarily die.
Although the treasure "Dragon Eye" was recovered, Sylutia was not in a good mood at all. Under her cold command, the survivors on the scene tied up Fire Pig, continued to feed him some medicine to save his life, and went to the location mentioned by Fire Pig to search for Anali.
When we walked out of the sewer, it was evening. The edge of the sky was purple under the setting sun, and the clouds reflected the afterglow, which was particularly beautiful.
They found several carriages, one of which carried Fire Pig, covered it with a hood, and then set off to the place he said.
By the time Sylutia arrived at the house at that address and started knocking on the door, dusk had fallen, and the street was already a cold blue and almost dark.
The knocking continued for a long time, and finally I heard someone coming over and opening the door. She was an old maid. She looked to be in her sixties, and her skin was full of wrinkles.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Seeing so many people outside, she was a little scared and took a few steps back.
"We're looking for something. It's the address Fire Pig mentioned." Sylutia said. She blinked and began to look around at the environment here.
It was surprisingly quiet. There were no guards or traps set up. There was only this lonely old man here.
"Fire Pig? Who is that?" It seems that she does not know the name of Fire Pig.
So, Sylutia changed the question, "Has anyone sent anything here recently?"
"Yes, but those are just ingredients." She didn't understand why the group of people in front of her cared about this.
"There is something wrong with that ingredient. We need to check it out. You can ask the police officer Mork in charge of this street for the specific situation later." Sylutia is very familiar with the people at Police Station.
Hearing that it was Police Station's arrangement, the other party felt relieved and quickly cheered up.
"I'll take you there right now." After saying that, she led Sylutia and the others all the way to the back kitchen. There is a hidden cover here. After opening it, you can see the cellar below.
After getting down, the girl looked around. There were many stored ingredients, including potatoes and sweet potatoes, bacon and fish, as well as canned and salted fruits.
Go to the innermost room and there is a long wooden box lying horizontally with a lock on it.
Sensing the faint aura emanating from inside, Sylutia stepped forward, cut the lock with a dagger, and then opened the box.
Sure enough, the unconscious Anali was lying inside, her hands and legs were tied up, and her mouth was stuffed with a towel to prevent screaming.
Seeing this scene, the old maid was surprised and couldn't believe that there was actually a person hiding here.
After untying Anali and then waking him up, the other party slowly opened his eyes. First his body trembled and he was about to resist and escape, but after seeing Sylutia's appearance clearly, he quickly calmed down.
"Sir Hedra..." She had many doubts, but now Sylutia wanted to know what happened from her mouth.
It turned out that on the day of disappearance, Anali also visited the exhibition hall, but was dragged there by a classmate Orc.
"She said she was a little scared to go alone, so she dragged me along."
"After that we will tour normally and then go back."
"While on the road, several strange Orc surrounded me and arrested me."
Although Anali also resisted, it was still not enough in the eyes of those strong Orc, and what happened next was that he was unconscious and imprisoned.
After understanding what happened, Sylutia also sorted out the outline of the entire incident.
The next thing is how to report to the boss.
Sitting in the carriage, Sylutia comforted Anali, and then the girl with animal horns finally fell asleep peacefully and peacefully after regaining her freedom.
A few minutes later, the carriage stopped in the open space of Pine Nut Street. This is Four Fingers's territory and it is very safe.
Everyone put down Fire Pig and Dragon Eye treasures, and Sylutia also walked out of the carriage holding Anali.
The sky was nearly dark, and the evening breeze was blowing her hair and skirt. A little coolness seeped into her shoulders and neck, making the girl feel particularly alert.
"Sir Hedra." Four Fingers asked carefully and flatteringly. He did not dare to guess what decision this young lady would make in the end.
With his fingers gently inserted into his hair, Sylutia looked at the people and everything in front of him, and the clear voice spread in the wind.
"The Dragon Eye treasure must be returned to "Bionics School", and Fire Pig's previous plans must be reported truthfully."
"Yes." Four Fingers and others responded.
"However, I will try to save his life." Her words shocked everyone present.
"Sir, "Bionics School" is not..." Four Fingers wanted to remind this girl that even though she is extremely talented, she is only an apprentice after all and cannot interfere with the decisions of those big shots.
"I know, but I'm sure of it." Sylutia replied calmly.
Yes, the fourth-level "Dragon Eye" treasure is a legend that is difficult to touch in a lifetime for those present, but for a Mage school of thought, such a thing is just a consumption for a large-scale experiment and is not precious. As for the thieves who steal such things, they are also not worthy of concern.
"Four Fingers." She suddenly called the other party's name.
Four Fingers felt nervous, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.
"Hedra-sama."
"I'm angry at your calculations and offenses. You have to do ten things for me before I can forgive you."
Hearing this, Four Fingers breathed a long sigh of relief, and then knelt down on one knee.
"No excuses!"
"First of all, seal off what happened today and assist Fire Pig's men to maintain the peace of each neighborhood." It is difficult for the police to intervene in many things, but these leaders of the underground world can manage them well.
"Yes." Even if Sylutia didn't say it, he would probably do it. After all, no one wants to cause a bad incident at this critical moment.
"In the future, the commission on labor wages and various gray industry businesses must be reviewed and approved by me."
"This... follows your will." Four Fingers hesitated for a few seconds, but still agreed.
Sylutia was not surprised by Four Fingers's hesitation, but she had many ways to make the other party obey orders, but she didn't expect that the other party would agree so quickly.
"Part of these commissions will be used to provide the most basic subsistence food and limited medical care to those workers who are in extremely difficult circumstances."
"Of course, this can only be given to those who really need it. As for those who want to take advantage of it, give them the punishment they want."
"Take care of those ignorant children who are new, support those who have made contributions but are old, and guide those who are lost who don't know how to move forward."
"What I want is not an underground environment with no bottom line, mutual persecution, short-sightedness and chaos."
"I hope to see some minimum good qualities in you. If you want to ask me why I do what I do, my answer is."
"When you get used to those scrawled and ugly paintings, you will also try to pick up a pen and paint the pictures you like and want to see."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
"However, I also know that shouting orders in vain has no effect."
"Then let's make an agreement."
"When you complete what I ask, I will promise you a grand banquet, which will be a genuine "Feast Ritual"."
After saying that, layers of flowers bloomed behind the girl. In the sea of flowers, abundant fruits and delicacies appeared, and the fragrance emanating from them seemed real.
That beautiful scene appeared instantly in the golden afterglow and slowly disappeared. The picture was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.
