Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 257 Two Small Things
"Could it be any worse for me as a servant! I just want to live a normal life, and don't worry about livelihood for the rest of my life. It's best to marry a noble daughter. Is this too much to ask for!"

Robert complained loudly over there, his voice filled the empty alley, as if he was afraid that the group of monsters would not know he was coming.

He led a reconnaissance team to investigate whether there were enemies hidden in this mysterious city, but he focused on complaining.

And he obviously found the wrong person to confide in.

"Are you talking to me?" Baro next to him said, pointing at himself with a dazed expression.

Robert bangs his head against the wall helplessly, he doesn't know why the boss let such a boring person team up with him.

It was Barrow who conscientiously carried out the task of 'reconnaissance', but his huge body was obviously unable to carry out this task, and there was no part of his body that stopped saying 'I am here, come quickly! ' message.

"I said you can't walk on tiptoe? You can even hear my lover in Wangcheng!" Even Robert protested loudly, unable to listen.

Barrow looked innocent, and it could be seen that he was trying his best not to make a sound, but to no avail.

Robert gave him a blank look, and then looked behind him. Stannis assigned him 15 people as a reconnaissance force, which made him very proud of it for the first time as a small boss, but now it seems that the traverser will Luo Qiang stuffed it to him obviously with bad intentions.

"Really, what am I, nanny?"

Robert stepped over Barrow deftly in three steps and two steps, showing him the importance of being as light as a swallow as a scout. Up to now they are lucky not to have encountered a Chaos citizen.

But when they walked to the city square and hadn't encountered a moving thing, Robert began to feel that things were not that simple. It wasn't that they were lucky, but that the city was empty!
In every room and every alley, there were neither living nor dead people, only rats scurrying about in the dark waterways, and this might be the only moving object in this unknown city besides them.

"Damn it, last time I encountered that wave of white corpses, why are there none now!" Robert felt a little bad, but he couldn't tell what went wrong.

The square of the city still maintains the scene when it was destroyed on New Year's Eve. Half of the church collapsed, dilapidated ruins, and a large piece of black water that has not completely dried up. All the monsters disappeared without a trace as if they were evaporated. .

This is definitely not the case!Robert felt the blood of the family inherited in his body begin to flow backwards. This was a sign of his detection of evil, and he was also preparing for the coming battle.

Although he knew that the front was full of dangers, but before it was time to back down, Robert glanced at the people behind him. He didn't want to end up being wiped out the first time he led the team.

"Baro, take someone back first, and tell the boss that there are no enemies in the city."

Barrow shook his head in refusal, "What do you want?"

Robert raised the corners of his mouth, showing his white teeth, "I've seen the map. The quarry where the God Seal was unearthed is just north of the city. I'm going to see if there's anything weird over there."

Barrow became anxious when he heard this, because this has exceeded their original plan, "Robert, what are you doing! Didn't you just say to investigate the city? Are you trying to disobey the order!"

But his companion has made up his mind, "Don't be so rigid? The order given to us is to track down the enemy's tracks. Now that no enemy can be found, you have the nerve to go back and make a mission."

The knight who didn't have a bright mind couldn't turn around after being told for a while.

"That's fine, but all of us have to go, so that we can support each other in case of emergencies."

Robert pulled out the sword, still with a mean look on his face, "Really, maybe I will lose a few more lives, but people have to die in a war."

After speaking, Robert led the team towards the quarry.

On the other hand, Stannis is taking advantage of the last moment before the big battle to relax.

Since there were no women in the camp, he had to use the original parts on his body to enjoy the original fun that could be created by himself.

That is walking on two legs.

He has been walking with his head down, wandering unknowingly for a long time after he came out of the camp, when he raised his head, he found that he had walked into a cemetery.
Under the moonlit night, there was a blue light burning between the tombs. Stannis, who loves science, certainly knew that it was a phosphorous fire, but shouldn't it be in the dry summer?But for the superstitious Xilu people, they believe that this is the soul of the deceased wandering in the world and unwilling to leave.

He raised his head and found a familiar figure standing under the moonlight. Although his long sword was wrapped by the hilt, there was still a disturbing blue light flashing from it. It turned out that the Soul Slayer Sword was absorbing souls from the ground. Rather than the so-called phosphorus fire.

It's Batesmore, I don't know why he wanders around the dead?
Stannis is looking for him, because he is also the pioneer infected by the God Seal, even if he is not chosen by it, but it is still possible to wade through the dead space to get close to the God Seal, right?
"you……"

As soon as Stannis spoke, Batesmore interrupted him first.

"How many people have you killed?"

Stannis, who asked this question, felt hairy, but he still thought about it seriously, and in the end he was surprised to find that he had never killed a single person except for the manslaughter who could not be sure who was the first murderer!

What a failure!Stannis covered his face and felt ashamed. Although the Chaos People chopped down a lot, they were all corpses and dead people, so they were not counted as killings.

"Zero...zero..."

Batesmoore's sword suddenly made a 'ding', and it didn't like this answer very much.

"You didn't kill anyone? It's a miracle that you survived until now." Batesmore turned around, and his eyes were bloody again, "You want to ask me why I can't get close to that god?" Seal? Because the fragment I picked up does not belong to the seal here, it seems that each seal is full of hatred for each other, even standing here, I can feel its resentment towards me. So As long as I take one step closer to the seal of God, even if there is no dead space—although I don’t know what it is, my fate may be worse than that of a living person.”

Well, Stannis knew he was on his own.

"Hi... Excuse me." The lord, who was stared at by those bloody eyes and felt uncomfortable, was about to leave, but was stopped by the black-armored swordsman.

"Don't you want to know how many people I killed?"

Who wants to know about this stuff?It's not a good person or a good thing, but Stannis, who knew that the opponent's temper could not beat him, still said honestly: "Didn't you say it last time? There are 984 souls in your sword."

The implication is that the other party killed 984 people.

But Batesmore shook his head and said he got the wrong answer, "I killed 980 four villains, and 230 seven..."

He said no more, but it sent a chill down Stannis' spine.

"You have to know that if you want to avenge the devil, you must not only seek power from the devil, but you will also eventually become a devil yourself."

After saying this, Batesmore turned around and looked at the dark cemetery and said nothing more.
