Four-Armed Divine Emperor

He placed the burning herbs in a small bowl made of wet mud, fixed it on the earthen kang on the side, and sprinkled some soil on it to cover the fire. In this way, the burning speed of the herbs would be greatly reduced and it could last for a long time.

This was the knowledge they had learned from their past adventures. Burning herbs had a soothing effect on the mind. Although it might have little effect on Marvin now, it was better than nothing... If it really came to the point where it had to be, Leon at least hoped that his sheriff, his friend and companion in life and death, could be as relaxed as possible.

"You know, Marvin." After he finished all this, he sat down next to Marvin, leaning against him, and said in a deep voice:

"We are outsiders to this world. This is not our home and we never belonged here."

"Of course, perhaps the world we remember in the past was not the beautiful home we imagined."

His eyes were somewhat deep, as if he was recalling experiences that seemed to have happened not long ago.

"But no matter what, that's where we came from, where our memories are, I must find it..."

Lyon fell silent mid-sentence.

He turned to look at Marvin. The black sheriff squinted his eyes, sweat kept oozing from his forehead, and his face had turned pale, just like before Leon and he parted at the police station.

This situation is obviously not a good one for them who are currently lacking food and clothing and even have trouble getting water.

"the truth."

Leon uttered the word slowly.

He believed he had grasped the key point.

Marvin nodded weakly, indicating his approval of his decision. He barely had the strength to speak.

"Do it, Leon." Marvin said in a hollow voice.

"do it."

Leon turned his head away. He didn't want his superiors, his comrades, and the companions with whom he had risked his life to see the tears in his eyes.

During the time of Resident Evil 2, Leon was not the same Riku Sanguang who slaughtered a whole village by himself and killed gods and demons who stood in his way. He was only 21 years old and had just joined the Raccoon City Police Department, but he had already experienced:

resident Evil;

The mystery of reincarnation and the truth of the world;

Travel to a magical world, encounter various difficulties and obstacles along the way, and experience an adventure with only monster fighting and no leveling up.

Reduced to slavery, he was forcibly abused by a perverted (relatively speaking) female noble for a whole month;

......

If it were someone who was a little more fragile, their mind would have been on the verge of collapse after going through so much.

But Leon really fought his way here, and never had the slightest thought of giving up. Even at this moment, he was only grieving for the death of his companions and the impending loneliness of being "alone" in the whole world.

But his determination to find out the truth behind all these events will not change in the slightest!

"I will find it, Marvin, believe me, I will find it." He still didn't dare to look at the weak Marvin, and could only talk to himself. The barely breathing Marvin pulled the corners of his mouth together with difficulty and whispered:

"Including our share."

"......" Leon remained silent for a while, and then he uttered a trembling voice from his nose: "Hmm."

After that, he stood up and said, "I'm going to find some water."

Leon left the stable.

He ran all the way at a very fast speed. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely break the record.

Following the path in his memory, Leon came to a stream. He used a wild plant that looked like coconut - but it was not edible. The Zoroastrians would use it to extract oil or feed it to livestock; and used its shell to collect water.

Then they hurried back to the stable.

Before entering, Leon paused, fearing that he would see something terrible happen. Fortunately, Marvin's life had not been extinguished so quickly. He closed his only good left eye and flicked his fingers to indicate "welcome".

Lyon walked away silently

Chapter 432

Go over and give the weak Marvin some water.

Marvin's injury was not incurable. If he could go back to Dahan City and find a doctor, his broken leg would certainly not be cured, but his life would probably be saved... But not to mention that they were slaves before and now they were "fugitive slaves". They were almost penniless when they fled. Leon did capture some valuable jewelry from female nobles, but in the wilderness, where could he exchange these things for medical resources to save Marvin?

What's more, their identity as "fugitive slaves" and the fact that they caused such a big commotion - the favorite slaves of the nobles stole treasures, attacked the master's house, set fire and then incited slaves to escape. This was such "big news"!

Not to mention the Dahan Province, there may not have been many such incidents in the entire "Alan Empire" in the past hundred years.

Because in the extraordinary society, if the powerless lower class resists the upper class, it will definitely be a dead end.

Therefore, over time, the number of such self-destructive resistances has become extremely small. In any case, they will die. If the resistance fails and they are captured, they may face unimaginable torture. After all, in the field of magic, there are many ways to play with and torture the soul. It is better to "submit and accept it."

The commotion caused by the three Lyons caused an uproar in the entire Dahan City. From the powerful to the common people, everyone was paying attention to this escaped slave incident. It was because curiosity and the desire to watch the show were human nature, and it was the same in any world.

There are even powerful people who are not from the "master" who defected from Lyon and his group, who have offered a reward, specifically to capture them and bring them back alive, just to see what these two rebellious escaped slaves from a foreign country look like.

Not to mention the noble family they "betrayed".

A noble family was humiliated by three escaped slaves, who caused such a big commotion, robbed property, set fire, and killed the main family members... There was no doubt that their faces were rubbed on the ground. If they were not caught and tortured with the most cruel and painful means, the noble family that enslaved Lyon and others would lose all face and would have no face to stay in Dahan.

They directly hired hundreds of people to search everywhere, not to mention the Dahan people who spontaneously came out to hunt down Lyon for the reward.

They now have no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the sea. Compared with the Zoroastrians, Lyon's appearance is quite distinctive. He actually has no idea how far he can run in the end even if he is alone.

What’s more, there is a more “conspicuous” Marvin.

Leon learned about the slave owners hunting them from a hunter he ambushed, who tried to use this information to buy his life. If this had happened before he was enslaved, Leon might have agreed, but after experiencing life in slavery, the rebellion, Ben's death, and Marvin's serious injury...

Leon is no longer the simple and kind police officer.

He decisively gave the other person a quick death and then returned to the stable.

Chapter 95: The Truth in the North

Time passed by little by little.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

In the stable, the two people who can be said to be "dependent on each other" huddled together in this simple place that seemed to be forgotten by the world, waiting, waiting for the "final moment" to come.

Given Marvin's physical condition, it was a miracle for him to run here. He had no strength to move forward and it was impossible for him to move.

Although he had repeatedly asked Leon to be "decisive", the young policeman who had already matured and become the backbone of the team ignored his captain's orders and insisted on staying, guarding Marvin at the risk of both of them being caught.

They knew each other well.

"Marvin (I) won't live long."

If it weren't for the physical adjustments that Al provided them, he would not have been able to hold on until now and would have fallen into the gate, with his thigh crushed. For the sake of freedom, even if it was only short-lived, he cruelly let Leon cut off his thigh and died shortly thereafter. He might not have been able to get far from Dahan City.

But the physical fitness that Marvin relied on for survival before now became the key to dragging down Leon.

The sheriff hopes that his team members will be more decisive. Since they all know that moment will come, it is better to say goodbye early than to delay a living person for a "dead person", right?

What if because of this delay, Lyon was finally caught up?

The earlier they set out, the earlier they leave, the greater their chances of escaping danger, the greater their possibility, and the closer Lyon will be to the "truth" in the far north.

Both of them knew this, but Lyon's will was firm and would not be shaken.

He must, must persevere, and persevere until he sees Marvin off to his final journey...

Of course, what they didn't know was that an "invisible hand" was looming over them again after their fate had changed beyond their imagination.

As a fantasy medieval world, it may not be easy for mortals to find mortals, but it is very easy for extraordinary people to find mortals.

Basic water divination spells can reveal their approximate location and hiding place to the pursuers. There is no need for too many marking points. The north, the trail, the stable, and a few key factors are present. With the elite private soldiers of the nobles, the locals' familiarity with the terrain and their enthusiasm for the bounty, they should have been discovered long ago.

If it weren't for Ai'er being the "Supreme Will" that enveloped the vast territory of what is now the "Roman Republic," "Heaven" would have discovered:

Sanguang unexpectedly discovered the "truth" by accident - at least the location of the door leading to the "truth", and had already planned the subsequent "main line" for him.

Chapter 433

.

"Leon Wanli's Search for the Truth."

Therefore, for those enemies and external factors that are truly invincible to Lyon at the moment, Al will interfere with them, but he will not completely eliminate them, because then what is the point of him "watching the show"?

He just made the prophecy spells targeting Leon and the other two point in the wrong direction. Anyway, it was just a divination spell performed by a few second- or third-level wizards with poor skills. It was entirely possible that the positioning was inaccurate or the pursuers were negligent. How could there be a 100% chance of success in chasing someone?

It's no big deal at all, except that the Dahan noble family lost face and dignity.

But does Al need to consider their thoughts?

Besides, no one would associate these things with him.

Another time, there was a team of local adventurers who wanted to go against the grain and try their luck - anyone can do this, it's more like a "mercenary" with no restrictions on the field, as long as you pay and it's profitable, you can take on any task and consider it.

They searched northward along the route they could take, because they knew that the two escaped slaves were injured (Lyon recovered quickly) and it was impossible for them to risk crossing the wild jungle. They had to stay in an area that was as safe as possible and out of sight. They accidentally came to the stable where Leon and Marvin were hiding.

Marvin was unable to move, and Lyon was unwilling to abandon his last companion. If they met, a conflict would inevitably break out. With Lyon's skills, it would not be difficult for him to escape, but he was afraid that he would not be willing to give up Marvin. Secondly, if his whereabouts were exposed, Dahan's pursuers would turn around and kill him back, which would be a little more difficult for Lyon. At least the "tyrant" could not show up too early.

So Al used his psychic powers to deceive the bounty hunters, making them ignore the stable, as if they were just travelers passing by. Instead of going in to search, they continued to head north, allowing the duo to "escape" again.

......

But for the fleeing duo, the "luck" ended there.

In the end, Marvin couldn't make it to the dawn of the third day.

At midnight, the sheriff, whose face was as pale as death, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out his hand, grabbed the straw on the ground, and called Leon's name.

Leon, who hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, immediately sat up from the ground and came to Marvin's side. The two of them had no fire and didn't dare to make a fire. Fortunately, the stable was dilapidated and the roof was leaking, so they could vaguely borrow some moonlight.

Under the moonlight, Leon saw that the familiar pale face seemed to have "recovered" some color.

He didn't know there was a Chinese idiom called "last flicker of light", but after so many years of fighting and experience, Lyon had honed his keen intuition.

He opened his lips, wanting to say something, but only trembling came out.

"Don't act like a woman, you little brat! Stand still, at attention!"

Seeing Leon's expression, Marvin laughed and cursed, as if they were back in the Raccoon City Police Department, without the zombies caused by the virus leak, without the virtual and real world being turned upside down, without the wandering through another world, without the shame of being enslaved and driven...

Flowers, applause, bright lights and a beautiful city.

Their city.

As the sheriff, Marvin is training a new recruit who is late on his first day of work.

Leon's throat moved, and he stood up in front of Marvin. Then he put his feet together, pressed his right foot hard against his left shoe, and after making a sound, he saluted.

"I feel God's call...if only His light could shine even to me in this backward, ignorant world."

Marvin felt very relaxed, more relaxed than ever before. Speaking didn't seem to be very difficult for him now, but he was a little worried that he would not be able to control his tongue and throat muscles in the next moment.

"Don't cry, promise me, brat, Leon—promise me! For the rest of your life, until you find the 'truth' you're looking for, and if possible, it would be best if Ben and I slap that damn 'dwarf boy' in the face twice, don't cry for us, shed a few tears, okay? America's man, protector of Raccoon City!"

"Yes, sir!"

Leon shouted his response.

Marvin raised his hand and shook it as if in farewell, then he placed his hand on the thigh of his broken leg.

"Go, North, and find the 'truth' about us."

He said nothing more and lowered his head.

Chapter 96: The Path of Seeking Truth and Revenge

Lyon buried Sheriff Marvin in tears.

He remembered Marvin's dying words and shed no tears for them, for the pain they had shared, which had been wiped away before it fell.

Lyon swore to Marvin over his body:

For the rest of his life, until he finally finds the truth about everything, he will not stop, will not stop exploring, will not hesitate, will not be confused, will not be weak, and will not cry...

Then he knocked down the stable to cover the simple grave he had dug for Marvin, and then he built it up again and again to prevent wild animals from disturbing the sheriff's sleep in the future.

After doing all this, Leon set out alone on the road to find the "truth".

Before escaping with Marvin, Leon had learned a lot by taking advantage of his status as a "favored slave", and he had a deeper understanding of the world.

In the past, the three of them had always been at the bottom of society, and because of their status as strangers, they were not very familiar with the culture, customs and language of the magical world.
