A black thin line was swimming in the white flame like a snake. Han Jin sat on the bed and stared at the thin line without blinking.
The Black Crystal Thread would be the most effective weapon against a powerhouse. Even Guevara, who was at his peak, was completely restrained by the Black Crystal Thread, let alone the others.
However, in the past few days, he had been absorbing the energy of the earth elemental magic crystals, and only occasionally swallowed a fire elemental magic crystal. Moreover, making magic treasures required a long time of burning with the Three True Flames. Therefore, even today, his immortal-binding rope was still far from complete.
The color of the Black Crystal Thread gradually changed. First, it became bright red. Then, it slowly turned golden. Han Jin took a deep breath and sent out a few more balls of True Fire. Then, his fingers quickly moved in the air.
One talisman after another appeared in the air, and the Black Crystal Thread seemed to have some kind of attractive force. Before Han Jin could do anything, the Black Crystal Thread automatically sucked the talismans over. The white light bombarded the Black Crystal Thread one after another, creating countless golden sparks. The scene was very dazzling.
Beads of sweat appeared on Han Jin's forehead. It was about time. The fire elements that he had absorbed had all been used up. He didn't want to use his vital energy. It was easy to use the fire elements to condense the Three True Flames, but using his vital energy to release the Three True Flames would consume a lot of energy. Although vital energy wasn't a pure form of energy and could be recovered through breathing, it would still take a considerable amount of time. Ever since the last incident, Han Jin had been living in a state of tension and vigilance. He was always prepared to deal with any accidents. Even if he consumed a little bit of his vital energy, it would make him feel unsafe.
However, no one really understood Han Jin, so no one helped him adjust his state of mind. He could only rely on himself to comprehend everything.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Han Jin waved his hand, and the golden thread shot toward Han Jin with a whoosh. It then wrapped around Han Jin's right wrist. From afar, it looked like a golden bracelet. He couldn't put the Black Crystal Thread into the space ring. The Three True Flames were too domineering. Once it entered the space ring, it would cut off the control of his divine sense. Last time, it almost burned the tree demon wood. He could only wait for a while. When the Three True Flames lacked the support of energy, it would naturally extinguish. Only then could he put the Black Crystal Thread away.
"Come in," Han Jin said.
The door opened, and Guevara slowly walked in. He glanced at Han Jin and said, "I heard that you helped the Mercenary Association catch a vampire today?"
"Yes. Why?" Han Jin was a little surprised. Guevara wouldn't come looking for him for such a small matter. He didn't want to go out these days, so Guevara handled all the external affairs by himself. He negotiated with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, contacted the people sent by Lang Ning, and so on. In other words, Guevara was very busy now.
"It seems that I was right." Guevara slowly sat on the chair and pondered for a moment. "Those vampires won't let you go. Although Zagunéd has always been in control of the vampires, this race is very xenophobic. They are cohesive and can be closely united. Even if Zagunéd thinks that now is not the time for revenge, there must be another voice among the vampires. They will come!"
"Then let them come." Han Jin said faintly, "Even if they don't come … I will go find them."
Guevara stared at Han Jin. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's not good for you to be like this."
"Me? What's wrong with me? "Han Jin was stunned.
"You are too gloomy now." Guevara said softly, "Young people should have the vitality of young people. Don't be so lifeless. Actually, falling down is not a big deal. What's scary is that you can't get up after falling down."
"I feel that I am very good now."
"You are a very smart child. I believe you can understand what I mean." Guevara smiled. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want people to think that I am too long-winded."
"I know." Han Jin was silent for a moment. "Thank you."
"Thank you? I understand. You are reminding me that I should thank you, right? " Guevara laughed. "But … I really have to thank you. I'm old, and I don't have any other wishes. My only goal is to get rid of Zaganide, Carolyn, and Betty so that I can seek justice for myself. Now that you've helped me get rid of two of them, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. This is great … this is great!"
"This is what I should do. Even if I don't kill them, they will kill me."
"No matter what, you did it," Guevara said softly. "What do you think? Tell me about it. " Guevara's original intention was to let Han Jin figure it out himself. However, Han Jin's performance was somewhat worrying. Now, Guevara could not help but ask.
"Experience? I was just lucky. From the beginning, Betty was trying to frame Caroline. She did not use her full strength at all. You said that she is a magician of the Blood Clan. However, I only saw her use one type of magic and a barrier. A magician cannot only know two types of magic, right? " Han Jin did not know how many times he had thought about that battle. He found many key points and understood many things. "If she did not have evil intentions, I would have died long ago."
"Actually, in Zagunéd's camp, no matter if it is strength or scheming, Betty can be ranked second. Compared to her, Caroline is just a brainless idiot. However, she was always suppressed by Caroline. Therefore, she was very unhappy and wanted to kill Caroline." Guevara smiled. "She was wrong. Caroline was able to suppress her because Zagunéd thought that Caroline was more suitable. Even if she could kill Caroline, Zagunéd would still support other vampires. He would never let Betty control the entire army."
"Why? Aren't they … husband and wife? "Han Jin asked in surprise.
"As I said earlier, vampires are very xenophobic. However, they are also very cohesive and can be very united. Zagunéd is not a vampire. Would he be assured to hand over such an army to a scheming and even treacherous vampire?"
Han Jin was silent.
"Let me give you an example. There is a door in front of us. We need to pay a heavy price to control that door. As long as Zagunéd gives the order, Caroline will immediately rush forward without any hesitation. However, Betty might be concerned about the strength of the Blood Race's army and use all kinds of excuses to delay the army's attack." Guevara said, "If you were the lord, who would you choose?"
"Caroline." Han Jin was not pretentious. If it were any other lord, they could only choose Caroline.
"You said that they are husband and wife?" Guevara smiled. "Zagunéd can command the vampire army in the name of his husband. Betty can also command the other abyssal races in the name of her wife. Of course, if Zagunéd dies. Hehe … Zagunéd can completely trust Caroline. However, Betty … is an extremely ambitious person. I think Zagunéd knows this better than I do. Would he dare to trust Betty? "
"Is there a need to make the relationship between husband and wife so complicated?" Han Jin revealed a contemptuous smile. He had come into contact with many things, but it could not be said that he had a lot of experience. He still had a longing for love. Since they loved each other, they should trust each other. It was better not to love each other at all times. Other than the deepest secrets, he would not hold anything back from Sunier. He would not suspect anything, and he would not be vigilant. Therefore, he was very disdainful of the conflict between Zagunéd and the two vampires.
"You …" Guevara shook his head. "You are not in that position. Sooner or later, you will understand."
"Understand what? Guard against my wife? "Han Jin said softly." I won't. "
Guevara did not say anything. He only looked at Han Jin with a smile.
"Definitely not," Han Jin added.
He is still too young … Guevara sighed in his heart. He was different from Han Jin. Guevara understood this world too well. He knew everything that others knew, and he knew everything that others did not know. Sunier had the Mark of God. According to the rules of the elves, she had to marry another elf who had the Mark of God. This was because the elves hoped for the birth of an unparalleled powerhouse who could lead the entire race out of their current predicament and restore their glory! When the Wild Willow City found out about this one day, trouble would follow. Sunier could ignore this rule and choose the one she truly liked. However, the elders who followed the rules would not tolerate Sunier's betrayal. Their reaction was worrying.
When it came to upholding justice, the elves would become very tenacious. Guevara had experienced it firsthand. They or they were not afraid of sacrificing themselves. Even if they ran out of ammunition and food, they would not give up. In the past, he was defeated by such an elven army! Of course, the so-called justice was only what the elves thought was justice.
When there was conflict, there would definitely be bloodshed. Seeing their friends and companions fall under the butcher's knife, Han Jin and Sunier would not change at all. Would they still like each other as much as they did now? Would there not be any estrangement between them?
Guevara accidentally heard Julia and Sunier whispering to each other. Julia was worried about Sunier's future. She had been out for a long time, so she did not see the boundaries between races very clearly. Moreover, she had also fallen in love with a human, so she could understand Sunier's feelings. However, most elves could not. Sunier's attitude was very optimistic. She firmly believed that Han Jin could solve all the problems. She even used Han Jin's rapid improvement in the past year as a reason. That little elf, she was happy for Han Jin's every improvement. It seemed that she had a premonition of the pressure that they would face in the future.
Yes, if Han Jin had overwhelming power, he could indeed make the entire Wild Willow City bow their heads and make the elders collectively lose their voices and agree to the truth. However, this was only a compromise that they had no choice but to choose. Compromising and resolving conflicts were two completely different things. The former was full of oppression, while the latter was a happy ending for everyone. It could also be said that even if the elders of Wild Willow City compromised, there would still be some dirty things brewing in the future.
Young people always had clear boundaries. Love was love, and there was no room for other impurities. However, for an experienced elder like Guevara, this word was worthless! In fact, he now preferred another girl. However, he had never tried to influence Han Jin. Although he did not know Han Jin's background, he understood Han Jin's character. If he really did that, Han Jin would never forgive him. They might even become enemies, even if he did it for the sake of Han Jin.
"Actually, I'm not worried about the vampires in Zagunéd's hands." Guevara controlled his thoughts and then changed the topic. It was not the time to talk about this to Han Jin. Even if he did, Han Jin would not understand. The only thing he could do was to hurry back and help Lang Ning defeat the Beitman's army. If Han Jin really became the lord of Black Raven City and the Beitman, then the elders of Wild Willow City would have to think twice. Did they really want to provoke the wrath of a lord?! Although rules were important, some things were even more important than rules. When facing a lord who had conquered two provinces, they did not dare to be careless.
"Then what are you worried about?" Han Jin asked.
"I'm afraid of alarming the old guys of the Blood Clan in the Abyss," Guevara said slowly. "Speaking of which, Caroline and Betty are their descendants, and they are the best of the best. Now that they have died in your hands, it's inevitable that some of them will want to come out and take action. If only Gail is alone … I'm really worried."
Han Jin's expression became serious. He did not know how powerful Majordomo Gail was, but if he could earn Guevara's respect, then he must not be weak. Now that he heard Guevara say that Gail might not be able to handle it alone and would need two people to work together, this kind of threat made him very nervous.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. I will arrange it properly." Guevara noticed the change in Han Jin's expression. "The road to the Abyss is not easy to travel. This trip will take at least half a year, which is enough time for us to prepare."
Han Jin didn't say anything.
"Do you know what the scariest thing about vampires is?" Guevara asked.
"It's their innate talent."
"You're right." Guevara nodded and said, "Carolyn's innate talent is the most useless. Of course, if her strength were to increase a little more, her innate talent would make countless powerhouses fear her. It's a pity that she's too weak. And Betty's innate talent is very troublesome. In the past, I often suffered under her hands. If it wasn't for her, how could Zagunéd have trapped me?! "
"The old men of the Blood Clan that you mentioned just now … Do you know their innate talent?"
"I don't know." Guevara smiled. "That's why I said that we must be prepared."
Han Jin's heart sank. It seemed that Guevara did not have much confidence.
"The life of a vampire is as long as that of an elf. When I was young, I was always jealous of them." Guevara smiled. "Now, I have thought it through. A hundred years of life, is it not enough? I have loved, I have hated, I have struggled, I have been dispirited, I have succeeded, and I have failed. These are already extremely tiring. Death is actually a kind of release. I am really curious. What fun do those who have lived for thousands of years still have?! And some things do not get stronger the longer they live. Those old vampires hide in the dark and sleep all day long. Some sleep for decades, even hundreds of years. Is this called enjoying life? I don't believe that they can reach a higher level in their sleep! "
Han Jin opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he did not say it. With Guevara's experience, he believed that death was a kind of release. Han Jin could understand. But he knew that no matter what happened, no life could resist the temptation of eternity. And what Han Jin pursued with all his might was eternity!
