"Do you want to hear a story?" Mr. Snève suddenly raised his head.
Boss Luo nodded. He had not activated the passive ability that made people unable to say anything since the beginning. He had adjusted it after the twin maids talked about some strange topics because of this ability.
Now, it was the power of language that could shake the psychological defense of the other party.
This was something that anyone could do. Long-term companionship, continuous exploration and perseverance … Doctors could always get in touch with the inner world of the patients in this way.
Later, Luoqiu found that no matter how incredible the altar was to realize a wish, it always had a normal way to realize it. It was just that the difficulty was different … The difficulty was different, which also meant that the price was different.
But the conclusion could be determined.
A wish that could be realized could be realized through other means.
...
"Many years ago, I was a fledgling hunter … The kind that was different from the ordinary hunters."
Mr. Snakel adjusted his sitting posture, his expression becoming more natural. Perhaps it was because he wanted to say something that he had kept hidden for many years in his limited life. He needed to carefully recall and carefully organize his thoughts.
He used the simplest words to express the longest story.
"When I first made my debut, I soon met an excellent demon hunting team. Geralt was the leader of the team. He was a handsome swordsman with excellent swordsmanship. He acted decisively and righteously. He was almost perfect. I didn't really like Toshera at first. He was always rude and liked to drink too much. However, he was always the first to step up when there was danger. You'll find that after spending some time with him, you'll gradually fall in love with his straightforwardness. "
"Finally, there was Lainie, a powerful magician. She was elegant and noble. She was an intellectual woman who was unforgettable once you saw her.
"The team of four had a short and thrilling adventure until one day, Geralt brought back a piece of news about the castle. He said that the owner of the castle had a magical [Chessboard] that could bring people endless power.
"We soon decided to go to the castle and steal the [Chessboard] from the owner of the castle.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Snève. I know I shouldn't have interrupted." Luoqiu suddenly asked, "But I'm really curious, how did Mr. Geralt get the information about the chessboard?"
"He said that he bought it from a reliable information broker. We all know this information broker." Mr. Snève frowned unhappily. "What's there to be puzzled about … Most of the demon-hunting squads like us will obtain unknown information through the hands of information traffickers."
"Please continue." Boss Luo nodded.
Mr. Snève continued to recall and ponder. He slowly said, "That day, we came to the forest outside the castle, but we encountered a fierce battle with a group of rotting beasts. These were zombie beasts. They weren't high-level beasts, so their bodies were constantly rotting. However, there were simply too many of them. We fought until late at night and barely wiped out these zombie beasts … We rested on the spot for a night and planned to sneak into the castle during the day. "
"Because vampires are always at their weakest during the day. They also feel sleepy and can't concentrate. We heard that the owner of the castle would definitely sleep during the day and wake up at six o 'clock in the evening. Therefore, the initial time to leave was before six o' clock in the evening … Lainie used magic to secretly open a passage in the courtyard of the east wing of the castle, allowing us to successfully enter the courtyard. "
"This passage is the one you told us about?" Luoqiu couldn't help but be curious. "It's still there after so many years."
Mr. Snève nodded. "That's a very special magic. It's hidden and deceptive. Therefore, it has been there for so many years, but it has always been ignored. It's a path that only my … my squad knows about."
He shook his head. "We chose to enter the castle at noon when the sun was the strongest. We acted according to the plan we discussed. Toshela and I were in one team, while Geralt and Lainie were in the other. We began to search for the location of the [Chessboard]. We also agreed that regardless of whether there was any news or not, we had to gather at the exit before six o 'clock in the evening.
"As a hunter, I'm very good at hiding. I can make up for Toshela's impulsiveness … Therefore, we were not discovered during the whole day of searching. Toshela and I didn't find anything until six o 'clock in the evening, so we returned to the exit at the agreed time. However, we didn't see Geralt and Lainie. They might have failed. Just as I was discussing how to rescue them, a black shadow appeared in front of us. We didn't even see the other party's face clearly before we were knocked to the ground and passed out. "
Mr. Snève sighed. "When I woke up, I saw Geralt, Lainie, and Toshela … We woke up in the banquet hall of the castle. At that time, other than the owner of the castle, there was a huge [Chessboard] in front of us … The thing we wanted to steal."
"The owner of the castle knew that we came for the [Chessboard]. He made a request for us to participate in the game of the [Chessboard]. If we could defeat him, he would let us take the [Chessboard] away."
"Even if it wasn't for the [Chessboard], this was our only way out … We seriously underestimated the power of the owner of the castle. We thought that he was a little vampire in hiding, but we didn't expect that the owner of the castle was a noble of the powerful Tzimisce clan, one of the thirteen clans. He was also one of the heirs of the clan. We really had no other choice. "
"So, when Mr. Snève participated in the game, you were a master?"
"How do you know?" Mr. Snève asked in surprise.
"Because you've survived, and you've lived until now." Boss Luo said indifferently, "According to the rules of the [Chessboard], if a servant fails or dies, they can't leave …"
Mr. Snave sighed. "I was the master at that time, and it was decided by drawing lots. My servant was Geralt. Lainie was also a master, and her servant was Toshela. "
"This was the first time we played the [Chessboard] game, so we weren't familiar with all the rules of the [Chessboard]. However, the owner of the castle, Wali Tzimisce, was the owner of the [Chessboard]. You can imagine how big the gap between us is … You are now here, so you should be able to understand the danger here."
Well … there was no danger for the time being. Boss Luo continued to light the fire.
"But no matter what, after a period of exploration and luck, we finally met and gained a good profit … We could have met in this [Roaring Forest] immediately. At that time, there were only three masters fighting. We believed that as long as we could meet, the chances of defeating the owner of the castle would be greatly increased. "
"But I made a mistake." Mr. Snève took a deep breath at this time. "Before the final meeting, I encountered a difficult problem. I needed to solve this problem before I could move forward. I made a mistake in my answer, causing Geralt to fall into a difficult battle. It took him three full rounds before he was able to successfully end the battle. Then, when we finished the battle, the owner of the castle had already let his servant attack Toshela first. "
Mr. Snève clenched his fists, and his wrinkled arms could not help but tremble slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Toshela lost and died in the chessboard space. The punishment roulette appeared, and Lenny had to turn it … She was punished, and her soul was sent to the chessboard … It was me. It was such a simple question, but I answered it wrong. I'm the one who killed them. "
In grief and anger, Mr. Snève coughed a few times, and his voice gradually became hoarse. "Geralt was injured. He could not cope with the following battle … It was just that I was controlled by anger at that time. I clearly had enough action points to escape the [Roaring Forest], to let Geralt recover in other places, and even to get more resources to regroup. Perhaps there was still hope for victory … It was me. I recklessly let Geralt launch the attack immediately. He clearly reminded me, but I still ignored Geralt's reminder … I killed him, I killed him. "
"I killed him."
He was crying bitterly. Perhaps he needed to cry bitterly in front of others.
"Then, Geralt, as a servant, died, so you also had to face the punishment roulette." Luoqiu waited for a while until Mr. Snève calmed down a little. Then he slowly asked, "Then how did you survive and become the castle's gardener … for so many years?"
"I did turn the roulette." Mr. Snève said in a low voice, "But the punishment I received was to be thrown into the chessboard to fight a random monster. I don't know whether it was fate playing with me or punishing me … I only know that I must survive. I must take revenge. I must take revenge on the owner of the castle … The battle made me lose my eyes, made me a cripple, and even destroyed my face, but I still defeated that monster … I succeeded in coming out of the chessboard alive. "
"The owner of the castle did not drive me away. Instead, he threw me into the courtyard. He told me that it was because of my mistake that he could win the game. He wanted to thank me, so he let me stay. "
"I know. He just wants to see me, this old dog, suffer and suffer every day. He wants to hear me roar powerlessly and crazily … These are all things that make him happy."
"I don't remember how many years I lived in the courtyard … The days were just repeated pain for me."
"Until, I entered the chessboard again … as a servant."
"This is the story you want to hear."
…
…
The fire gradually extinguished. The smaller and smaller flames were like Mr. Snève's life value at this time.
"Do you think that today, after so many years, there is finally an opportunity for revenge?" Boss Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
Mr. Snève shook his head, "After so many years, I understand a truth … the idea of revenge through the chessboard will never work. No one can defeat Wally in this chessboard. I've seen it too many times. The participants forced him into a dead end again and again, but he was able to reverse the situation and win in the end. "
Snève looked at Luoqiu at this time, "This is actually designed. He designed it again and again to let you feel hope … Even, no matter what kind of function card you draw from the function card box, it may be arranged by him. Your hope, your dawn of victory, are all just his games! "
"But you still entered." Boss Luo said indifferently, "And you gave up the opportunity to stay outside and continue to look for revenge … Since you can't defeat Mr. Wally in the chessboard, I think there may be a way outside the chessboard."
"There is no way." Mr. Snève said sadly, "Look at me, do you think I have the ability to kill Wally? Impossible, no … For so many years, I didn't wait for the appearance of a powerful demon hunter who could kill him … Do you know the flower wall in the courtyard? And the willow forest in the center of the flower wall, do you know how they were cultivated? They were cultivated with the blood of the demon hunters, adventurers, and even ordinary people who died here … I can't even count how many of their corpses I've dealt with over the years. "
"I can't hold on anymore." Mr. Snève sighed deeply, "He didn't turn me into a vampire, or even a ghoul. I'm still just an ordinary human. I'll grow old, and now I'm extremely old … I may not be able to hold on for many years. This time, I came in just to see them again … They died in the [Roaring Forest]. I know their souls must have been tortured here for so many years. I only hope that I can repent in front of their souls at the end of my life. "
"I … I seem to be able to see them."
Mr. Snève's eyes gradually became hazy at this time. He seemed to see a few small light shadows surrounding him at this time.
They were like elves. They looked at him with soft eyes and nestled on his shoulder.
"Is it you?"
Mr. Snève murmured at this time, "Lenny, Toshera … Geralt, is it you? Did you come to pick me up … I'm sorry, for so many years, I didn't come to see you, leaving you in this dark forest … I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "
Mr. Snève slowly closed his eyes, as if he was waiting for his long-awaited death.
…
…
"Well … I'm sorry, but Mr. Snève, maybe you didn't see them." Boss Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
"Nonsense! They're obviously here! Right beside me! "Snève couldn't help but become agitated … He opened his eyes and was enraged.
"This place is full of miasma, especially next to this kind of water source, it should be thicker." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "You probably … saw an illusion because of the miasma. In fact, I really didn't see … them beside you. "
"Nonsense! Nonsense! How could I be affected by the miasma! But you didn't! "
"Oh … I seem to have the blessing of advanced poison damage immunity, so the miasma shouldn't have any effect on me."
Mr. Snève opened his mouth, as if he didn't feel good and suddenly drained his strength.
How to say it.
So angry — —!!
