For the first time in his life, Goron regretted that he had the magical power to see through things at will. If it hadn't been for his damn curiosity, the situation would not have developed to this bad situation. Even the most optimistic and natural guy would not be in such a bad situation. He would not think that after the General invited him to visit her secret execution chamber, he could still talk and laugh before sending him out intact.
Although Goron had completely entered the battle-ready state, perhaps it was because he had never talked to others in a real manner. General Reina did not seem to have any plans to take action immediately. She just stood there and continued talking.
"Have you ever heard of the Marquis de Brahadli?".
Gronn was stunned. He didn't expect that General Lena would suddenly mention the name of a noble marquis. Gronn's knowledge of the human world was limited to various stories, but what happened was that he actually knew this Brahad. Marquis of Lee.
In the eyes of the common people, noble ladies and gentlemen are a group of superior, even notorious, disgusting bastards, but the Brahadli family is one of the few who also have an excellent reputation among the common people and are popular with the people at the bottom. Respected and loved nobles.
In addition to being charitable and the largest sponsor of many charitable organizations, each patriarch of the Brahadli family has assisted many talented but penniless civilian artists and poets, and they have also adopted war orphans in large numbers. Help them learn new survival skills, such as singing, dancing or crafting techniques. Among the upper echelons of the nobility, the Brahadli family is also famous for being kind and humble, and never causing trouble. Except for their firm opposition to the empire's continued implementation of "slavery," which disgusted some nobles whose interests had been harmed, the Brahadli family could be said to have no enemies. The imperial royal family also has great trust in it. The Brahadli family, synonymous with loyalty and kindness, has always managed the largest and most important prison on the Blade Tower continent - the "Black Mountain Royal Prison" for the empire. all in all. A human nobleman that even the ogre Goron can know. It can be said that they are almost more famous in human society than the Holy Dragon Royal Family and the Seven Holy Beast Grand Dukes. But, why did Reina Catherine suddenly mention this famous good man, the Marquis
"I have a sister who is five years older than me. I have lost my parents since I was born. My sister, who was only five years old at the time, raised me little by little by stealing and begging. She took care of me. She dragged me around because of excessive malnutrition. She was obviously several years older than me, but in the end she looked about the same age as me. But even so, my sister still gave me food. Later we entered the hospital. In the Lingniao Orphanage, although I still have to work from morning to night every day, and I don't have enough to eat, and I am often beaten and scolded, but I finally have a fixed 'home' to live in, you know? At that time, my sister and I were so grateful to this man. Even though we all knew that he was actually just a human trafficker who was going to raise us and sell us to slave traders, we really didn’t hate him at all because Without him, we would have rotted to death on the street, and our bodies would have become food for wild dogs.”… “At that time, my sister and I’s biggest wish was to get help from Mr. Brahadli and enter them. Become a dazzling actor on stage in the opera troupe that my family belongs to, because the opera troupe run by my family often goes to orphanages to recruit talented girls. For this dream, my sister and I spent every spare minute practicing day and night. Dance, sing, and strive to change our destiny before we are sold by the dean. Later, our wish came true. The Brahadli family really sent people to the Hundred Bird Orphanage to choose a child. Entering their opera house. My sister and I successfully passed many tests and stayed until the end, but there was only one chance, and only one person could be selected. In order to leave this only opportunity to me to change my destiny, my sister took advantage of it. She was about to escape from the orphanage in the dark, but haha, I was better than my sister. I had already guessed that she would do this. I stopped her, and then put a knife to my heart in front of her, threatening her if she didn't go. , I committed suicide on the spot, and now I think about it, how much better it would have been if I hadn’t done that.”
"What happened next?" Although he knew that he was in trouble now, Goron's story addiction was successfully aroused by Reina Catherine, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did your sister go to that opera company?" ?”.
"She went. Just as I know my sister, my sister also knows me. She knows that if I can say it, I will definitely do it. Therefore, she can only sit in the Brahadley's carriage. The carriage is moving. At that time, she cried so much and kept telling me she was sorry and that she would come back to pick me up."
Looking at the sad and desperate expression on Rena Catherine's face, Goron couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Then, do you regret it? Didn't your sister come back to pick you up?".
Goron's question was like throwing a burning match into a powder keg, causing the female general who was still immersed in memories a moment ago to go berserk and scratch her body with her hands. Large swaths of flesh and skin spattered out with blood, and Gron finally knew how the horrific number of self-abuse scars on this woman's body was left.
"Yes~~~! I regret it. I regret it all the time now. I regret it so much that I want to kill someone, and even more, I want to commit suicide~~~! Why, why should I give this opportunity to my sister~~~! Why wasn’t I the chosen one~~~!”
Gronn leapt back instantly. Although his hands were empty, the magic gun Bi-colored pool light and the dwarf war hammer could be taken out in an instant. At this moment. Lena Catherine reached out and grabbed the air around her, and she pulled out a living person out of thin air. Who else could it be if it wasn't the Dark Elf Black Lake? It seems that in order to protect Goron, she actually took the risk to follow Goron. I don’t know when General Lena discovered her, but the general obviously didn’t take the Dark Elf Night Shadow Killer seriously. inside. Just now, Black Lake thought Reina would attack Goron. Inadvertently, she got a little too close, and she was grabbed out and thrown to the ground hard. The elf girl's body collided with the hard stone floor, making a huge and dull sound. The girl fainted without saying a word. Life and death I don’t know. Gronn had no chance to check the situation of the dark elves, he didn't even dare to move. He was just afraid that his slightest movement would lead to a violent attack from the other party.
Good thing. It seemed that the anger in her heart was vented a little through the sacrifice of the dark elf. Rena Catherine gradually entered the memory mode again, as if she was confiding to Goron or talking to herself, and continued to speak softly.
"A few days after my sister left, one night, I had a dream. In the dream, my sister stood in the dark and said goodbye to me, apologized to me, and said that she could not fulfill her promise and came back to pick me up. She left in the dream. She looked really scary. She was covered in blood. Although I knew she was my sister, I couldn't tell that she was still a person. Then, I woke up, and I desperately wanted to go to Brahad. The Lee family opera troupe went to look for my sister. I had to see her with my own eyes, so I ran away, and then I was caught. They whipped me, tortured me, and mocked me, but these were nothing, but this guy , the director of the Bailing Bird Orphanage, actually said that I would never see my sister again. He also said that she was dead. I didn't believe it. I bit off his sister when he was about to violate me. Finger, and then escaped again, this time, I was like crazy, I found a thin sword, whoever dared to stop me, I killed him, I killed several people in a row, and finally, no one If you dare to stop me, I ran non-stop for three days before finally arriving at the opera house where my sister was supposed to arrive. But my sister was not here, no one had even seen her, and my sister had never been here before. ”
"Then where did she go?" While guarding against possible attacks at any time, Goron couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't know at all, and I didn't know what to do. I was too young and no one told me. The guards at the Opera House beat me as soon as they saw me, and even wanted to kill me. I was tortured. I was injured and escaped, but I was unwilling to give in, so I lay in the wilderness and prayed to the gods. No matter who could help me find my sister, I would be willing to give everything I have, whether it is my soul or my flesh and blood. "
Hearing this, Goron couldn't help but interjected: "It is not so easy for the voice of prayer to be conveyed to the gods, if there are no sacrifices and no altars."
"Yeah, so no god is willing to respond to me, and which god would care less about the dedication of a dying little girl? Just when I prayed for several days and was about to die or had already died, I finally , a voice sounded in my mind. I don’t know what he said specifically, but I was about to die but I had the strength to stand up again. I followed the guidance of that voice and walked towards the wilderness. Then I walked in a I found my sister in a deserted grave. Even though the remaining parts of her at that time couldn’t even fit in my pocket, I just knew that those few bones were my sister.”
"She's dead? How did she die?"
Reina's expression was already dazed. She raised her palm, and a small ball of green light condensed on her hand, and said: "This is the last fragment of my sister's memory. The voice that responded to my prayer was extracted from this piece of bones." Well, if you really want to know, just read it yourself.”
Goron didn't have time to react. As Rena Catherine's wrist flicked, the small group of green light penetrated directly into his forehead.
