The fire in the fireplace was so hot that the whole room was as hot as July in midsummer, but Stark still didn't feel warm at all. He wrapped himself in a thick fur coat, but he still felt as if there was a hole in his soul, and the extreme emptiness and coldness took advantage of the opportunity to drill in. His face was pale and his entire body was cold, but sweat covered his forehead, and the corners of his eyes and nose began to bleed again.
This was what Merry saw when she walked in. She was worried about her master. In all the years she had followed Stark, she had never seen her master so miserable. Even when he was expelled by the people of Adahua Planet and displaced, Stark did not look like this. At that time, Stark was like a wandering mercenary. He found the two sisters in a dilapidated city on a dark planet and brought them back to nurture them into a new generation of sword slaves.
Merry and Merry were absolutely willing to sacrifice everything for Stark, including their lives.
But now, she couldn't do anything about Stark's injuries.
Seeing Merry's expression, Stark still laughed, "Nothing, it's just a combination of bright and dark injuries. I'll get through it. I can always get through it, can't I? "
There was a knock on the door, and another sword slave said from outside, "Master, Diego is here."
"Very well, let him come see me."
Merry hesitated and said, "Should we change the time?"
"No need. You can go out. I want to talk to that man alone."
"Master?"
"It's fine. Go out." Stark waved his hand.
When Merry left, Diego just happened to enter through the door. Seeing Stark, he was stunned for a moment before lowering his head, "My lord, are you looking for me?"
"Why don't you dare to look at me, Mr. Diego?" Stark trembled as he spoke, but he still smiled, "Are you afraid that I'll see the expression on your face? Let me guess if Mr. Diego is thinking. Look, this fellow's injuries are so serious that perhaps I can take this opportunity to kill him and get rid of all of this? "
Diego's chest rose and fell as he suddenly raised his head. Suddenly, his aura surged. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're right. Maybe I can try."
Footsteps immediately sounded from outside the house, but Stark shouted, "Don't come in!"
Then he looked at Diego and hooked his hand out of his coat sleeve. "If it were me, I would try too. How about it, Mr. Diego? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
At this moment, all sorts of thoughts surfaced in Diego's mind. He looked at Stark with uncertain eyes, but a moment later, his aura fell and he shook his head with a bitter smile. Suddenly, he knew that he couldn't beat Stark. The other party had already grasped his thoughts from the beginning, but he was still hesitating about whether to attack or not. In comparison, he was far inferior to Stark. At this point, he could no longer raise the thought of resisting Stark.
Stark laughed, "You made a wise choice, Mr. Diego. I promise, you will get what you deserve. But before that, I need you to do something for me. "
"What do you need me to do, my lord?" Diego's eyes had regained their calm.
Stark took out a test tube from his arms. There was a pale yellow liquid inside. However, in the middle of the liquid was a perfectly round bead of blood. From time to time, wisps of fiery light would flash within the blood bead. It was extremely strange. "What is this?" Diego asked in surprise.
"Your old friend, Allen's blood." Stark didn't hide anything and said directly, "When I fought him outside the imperial capital that day, I took the opportunity to collect a few drops of blood. I need you to send him back to Earth and hand him over to the Adahua Planet Ambassador's Mansion in your Babylon. Tell those arrogant fellows that this is the blood of the Son of Dusk. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
"Son of Dusk?" Diego wanted to ask what it was, but it seemed that Stark wouldn't say it, so he could only say, "My lord, it's not like you don't know that I've lost contact with my family for a long time and can't go back at all."
"You can't go back, but Allen can. I've collected information about him, and it shows that he hasn't shown up for a while, and I'm sure he left the planet during that time. Since he can leave, he must have a way to return to Earth. Go find him, gain his trust, and ask him to help you return to Earth. "
Diego did not deny this. At that time, it was because Allen had regained contact with Earth that the Federation knew of the existence of Planet Heaven, and the Grant Clan had sent him to participate in the development plan.
"This works, but I was standing on the opposite side of Allen before. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for him to believe me, right?"
"This is simple." Stark smiled and said, "Hawson has discovered that the Boleyn Family has helped Julian and the others sneak south. Our king has now sent an army to intercept his brother." I'll tell you the exact whereabouts of this army, and you can use it to exchange for Allen's trust. He doesn't have to believe you completely, just make him feel your sincerity. Besides, you just want to return to Earth. This doesn't conflict too much with him. He won't make things difficult for you. It would be even better if you added some conditions, such as some rewards from your family. "
Diego smiled bitterly, "My lord, this is very risky."
"Mr. Diego, if you want to reap something, you have to pay something. There's no such thing as reaping without sowing in this world. I think you understand this, right? " Stark patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, as long as you hand this test tube to the people of Adahua Planet, your mission will be complete. After that, I will help you become the patriarch of the Grant Clan in return. "
Diego was stunned at first, then his eyes surged with fanaticism, "It's a deal?"
"When did I lie to you?" Stark asked.
After Diego left excitedly, Stark sat down dejectedly and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Merry and the other two hurriedly came in and helped him lie on the bed. Stark's expression turned even uglier, but he smiled and said, "Look, I won another bet."
Diego didn't know that he had missed a great opportunity. If he had made a move just now, the Pirate Emperor might have suffered a grievance here. Unfortunately, there was never an if-if in life.
When Allen opened his eyes, he saw that he was already standing on a barren scarlet ground. The dark red earth stretched forward, and cracks appeared on the ground. From time to time, poisonous smoke or flames would spray out from within. There were dim flames everywhere. This was a world where no plants could survive. All that existed here were flames, lava, and poisonous gas.
He looked at his hands. Now, his body no longer had any human characteristics. The rock layer was his skin, and the flames were his blood. As he breathed, the fire beneath the rock layer flickered. When the fire lit up, the cracks in the rock layer on his body would spray out flames, lighting up like lines.
At this moment, he was in the depths of his consciousness.
