Chapter 90

Views:

Things in the world are often so ironic. For the evil and cruel Kahn, his brother Roger is one of the few people he truly cares about. So when he learned that Roger had betrayed him, he was heartbroken and so emotional that even a simple spell would fail. However, for Roger, his brother Kahn is a towering tree blocking his path to prosperity, robbing him of the sunshine and rain that should belong to him, and completely blocking his direction, making it difficult for him to get ahead. . Therefore, he hated Kahn so much that he did not hesitate to provoke Sui Xiong and the others, but also wanted to make Kahn miserable.

The relationship between these brothers is really confusing to Sui Xiong.

"Actually, it's nothing difficult to understand. It's just jealousy." Lei said he was well-informed about this kind of intrigue and betrayal. He explained, "Kahn is very strong, but his heart In fact, he is very lonely. Roger is his relative, about the same age as him, and also has certain talents. For him, he is a very suitable 'talking partner' - one who can satisfy his need for warmth without any threat to him. , all he needs to pay are just some things that are insignificant to him."

"And what about Roger? Although he received Kahn's care and attention, he didn't want that. What he wanted was to control resources, make rapid progress, and receive countless appreciation and admiration. And to get these, He had to compete with Kahn. Of course he couldn't compete with Kahn, and he didn't even dare to show his intention to compete, so the jealousy and resentment in his heart accumulated more and more, and this is what happened in the end."

"Actually, this kind of thing is quite common. If there are genius children and outstanding children at the same time in aristocratic families, it will often develop into this result."

Sui Xiong suddenly realized it. He thought it was a bit unbelievable at first, but after thinking about the plots of many romantic dramas and spy war dramas, he felt that it seemed reasonable.

As a talented, capable and ambitious young man, Roger's most important thing is of course his career and future. On the surface, it seems that his achievements are all due to Kahn's support. But think about it on a deeper level, if Kahn died, wouldn't he have a better chance

It's like a sentence he couldn't remember exactly when and where he saw it: No matter how nice the boss treats me, it's still not as good as me being the boss!

To be honest, Sui Xiong is not optimistic about Roger. With this person's heart and talent, being a receptionist at the most famous high-end hotel in Green Tree City is indeed a bit unqualified, but it is too unrealistic to want to become a senior mage - you know, even with someone like Kahn He was taken care of by an outstanding mage who was almost at the top level, but he could only do so well. His actual talents can be imagined.

However, there is no reason to talk to people whose brains are burned out by ambition.

"What are you going to do? Hack him to death?" Sui Xiong sighed and asked Kahn.

Kahn had regained his composure, shook his head, and smiled nonchalantly.

"I won't kill him, there's no need." He said calmly, "You won't let him go anyway, right?"

Sui Xiong nodded and asked: "What about yourself? Do you want to say something?"

Kahn shook his head again: "No need, just do whatever you want."

"You look decadent, and that's not good."

"That's it anyway. I can kill, and of course I can be killed. It's very fair." Kahn seemed not to care about his own life and death at all. "You don't have to care too much about this kind of thing. The world is so big, life and death Death is a very common thing. If you kill me today, maybe someone else will kill you tomorrow. That's all."

Sui Xiong frowned. What Kahn said made sense, and his unflinching demeanor even when he was about to die was quite impressive, but he always felt that something was wrong.

This man is a genius who has become the top senior mage in his twenties. As long as he doesn't die, entering the legendary realm is a sure thing. How could he be willing to die like this!

Not to mention... Could it be that the teachers and commanders behind him could just watch him die

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized and sneered, a tentacle radiated cold light, condensed an ice blade as sharp as a steel knife, and stabbed Kahn's chest fiercely.

Before the ice blade could stab him, green light rose up from Kahn's body, completely protecting him.

This light is soft and gentle, but it contains extremely powerful power. Let alone an ice blade, it can withstand even a group of fully armed knights roaring and charging.

But it actually did a useless job, because Sui Xiong's ice blade stopped just halfway through, and did not really penetrate at all.

"Come out." Sui Xiong said in a deep voice, "You are also a big shot in the legendary realm. There is no need to be sneaky and hide away."

There was a flash of green light in the sky, and the shadow of an old man wearing a gorgeous black robe appeared in front of them.

"Hello, young god." The old man nodded slightly to Sui Xiong to show courtesy, "I am the owner of Green Tree Tower. I am sorry that my heir has caused you trouble."

"Actually, they didn't cause me much trouble. But I want to ask - you don't care if they do this?" Sui Xiong was not polite just because the other party was polite. He asked coldly, "Your heirs are doing this." Are you the one who taught me to be vicious?"

"I have not taught Kahn this, I can only say that it is a habit." Although the old man was polite, he did not mean to give in. "It is not a good habit to be merciful. The young mages who did not do things neatly are all dead, and the remaining Most rains are like this.”

"That's not the case with the young mage I know!"

"That's just because they are weak." The old man said lightly, "Forgiveness and kindness are the rights of the strong. If you want to show mercy to the enemy, you must first become strong enough. Even if the enemy counterattacks, you can Unscathed - Kahn is not that strong now, especially when the opponent is a god, he has no qualifications to show mercy. In fact, even if he tries his best, he cannot threaten you. In this way, he still needs his subordinates To put it mildly, it was just clown-like folly.”

The old man spoke very well and grasped Sui Xiong's strength. As he said, neither Roger nor Kahn has the strength to threaten Sui Xiong, so it really doesn't make much sense whether to show mercy or not.

But Sui Xiong refused to give in and retorted with a sneer: "Because the opponent is strong, there is no need to show mercy? Then they will show mercy when facing a weak opponent?"

"The specific situation must be analyzed in detail and cannot be generalized." The old man said calmly.

"Humph, I understand!" Sui Xiong asked with a sneer, "I have one last question. Can you please answer it?"

"Please feel free to ask."

"There is a proverb: It is the fault of the father if he does not teach him. If a child goes astray, is it the adult who is responsible?"

The old man's expression finally changed, but before he could react, Sui Xiong's body suddenly glowed with blue light.

This blue light was not dazzling, but it carried irresistible terrifying power. It spread out in all directions like a tide, covering the entire hotel in an instant.

The old man shouted angrily, and the magic tower located in the center of the town immediately emitted a dazzling light, shooting towards the hotel, but was firmly blocked by the blue light.

However, at this time, Sui Xiong's tentacles had already wrapped around the old man who was supposed to be just a shadow, and with a loud shout, he dragged him out.

"Think you can be safe by hiding in the cracks of space? What a wonderful idea!"

An indescribably intense spell battle broke out immediately, but quickly subsided.

By the time everything returned to calm, one-third of the entire hotel had been reduced to rubble.

Inside the ruins, the floating jellyfish, which had grown larger than before, stared coldly at the old man with a bruised nose and swollen face. Sui Xiong used his divine power to temporarily ban this legendary mage's ability to cast spells. At this moment, he was no different from a mortal.

"To be honest, I am not a judge, and I have no interest in playing the role of judge." Sui Xiong's voice was like thunder, echoing over the ruins, "But since I have encountered something, I need to take care of it!"

He didn't bother to wait for anyone to answer and waved his tentacles.

Four rays of light fell on the four thugs, and they suddenly grinned and looked miserable.

"The four of you are not inherently bad, but it is a big mistake to help others commit evil. You can be exempted from death, but you cannot be spared from living crimes! I will carve a curse mark on you. Once you do something bad, the curse mark will hurt. Only by doing good things can you be forgiven. The pain disappears. As long as you do a thousand good deeds in total, the curse mark will not only disappear, but it will also improve your physique and give you the ability to cast spells."

The four thugs looked at me and I looked at you. They all knelt on the ground and accepted their punishment.

Although this kind of punishment was a bit uncomfortable, he escaped death after all. And...if this god is right, then maybe there is still a chance to become stronger!

"Kahn, you are so evil that you are irredeemable. Please accept a blow from me!"

On the tentacles of the jellyfish, the golden "swastika" characters shone brightly, and he lightly slapped Kahn on the forehead.

Kahn had a look of confusion in his eyes, and immediately he was rolling on the ground in pain due to a severe headache. After a while, the headache gradually subsided, but he did not get up. Instead, he lay on the ground, looking up at the sky, his eyes full of guilt and sorrow, and tears streaming down his face.

His vitality diminished rapidly, and his face soon became as pale as death, but his eyes were extremely clear and bright, completely different from before, exuding a light that made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Sui Xiong asked.

"I know." Kahn sobbed, "But... it's too late!"

"It's never too late to repent, go and atone for your sins slowly!" As soon as Sui Xiong unleashed his divine power, the God of Redemption received the message and sent a messenger to take away Kahn's soul.

"Roger, you always wanted Kahn to die so that he wouldn't block your way, right?" Sui Xiong said coldly, "Now that he is dead, what do you think?"

"He died too late." Roger, who had woken up from the charm spell, said grimly, "I almost died before he got out, so what's the use!"

"So do you think you would have been successful if he hadn't been there from the beginning?"

"certainly!"

Sui Xiong smiled coldly, waved his tentacles, and a strong magical light fell on Roger's head.

"So, let's give it a try..."
