"You want a story?" Mr. Sneff looked up suddenly.
Boss Luo nodded. He hadn't activated that passive ability that makes people say anything from the very beginning—since the twin maids said some strange topics because of this ability, he had already carried out adjust.
Now comes the power of words... Conversation can shake the other person's psychological defenses.
This is something anyone can do, long-term companionship, continuous exploration and persistence... Doctors can always get in touch with patients' inner worlds in this way.
Later, Luo Qiu discovered that no matter how inconceivably the altar fulfills a wish, it actually always has its normal means of realization, but the difficulty is different... Could it be that the difference also means a surprise at the price.
But the conclusion is already certain.
A wish that can be realized must itself be realized by other means.
…
"Many years ago, I was a fledgling hunter... the kind that is different from ordinary hunters."
Mr. Sneff adjusted his sitting posture at this time, his expression tended to be natural, perhaps because he wanted to say some old words that had been hidden for many years in one of the few lives, he needed to recall carefully and carefully organize.
Use the simplest language to express the longest story.
"In the days when I debuted, I quickly met an excellent demon hunting team. Geralt was the captain of the team. He was a swordsman, handsome, strong in swordsmanship, decisive in action, just, and almost perfect I didn't really like the fighter Torciela at first. He was always so rude and liked to drink too much, but he was always the first to stand up before danger. You will find that after getting along for a long time, you will gradually I like his straightforwardness."
"The last is Leni, a powerful magician, elegant, noble, an intellectual woman who can't be forgotten just by looking at it."
"The four-person team had a short and thrilling adventure, until one day, Geralt brought back a message about this castle. He said that the owner of the castle has a magical [chessboard], [Chessboard] can bring people endless power.”
"We quickly passed the plan to go to the castle and steal this [chessboard] from the owner of the castle."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sneff, I know I shouldn't interrupt." Luo Qiu asked suddenly at this moment: "But I'm really curious, from what channel did this Mr. Geralt get the information about [chessboard] ] news?"
"He said that it was acquired from a reliable intelligence dealer, and we all know this intelligence dealer." Mr. Sneve frowned displeased: "There is no doubt about it... like us Most of the demon hunting teams in the world will obtain unknown information through the hands of intelligence dealers."
"Please continue." Boss Luo nodded.
Mr. Sneff continued the state of reminiscence and thinking just now, and slowly said: "That day, we came to the forest outside the castle, but encountered a fierce battle, it was a group of rotting beasts. These are corpse beasts , not high-level, so the body has been rotting, but there are too many of them. We fought until late at night, and we barely wiped out these corpses... We rested in place for a night, and planned to wait until the daytime before sneaking into the ancient In the fort."
"Because during the daytime, the power of vampires is always the weakest. They will also be very sleepy and unable to concentrate. We found out about the owner of the castle. He must sleep during the daytime and wake up on time at six o'clock in the evening, so The initial time to leave is before six o'clock in the evening... Lenny used magic to quietly open a passage in the courtyard of the east wing of the castle, allowing us to successfully enter the courtyard."
"This passage is the one you told us about?" Luo Qiu couldn't help being curious: "After all these years, it's still there."
Mr. Sneve nodded, "It's a very special magic trick, with concealment and deception, so it has existed for so many years, but it has been ignored all the time. It is only me... our team knows the way."
He shook his head, "We chose to enter the castle at noon when the sun was strongest, and we acted according to the agreed upon plan. I was on the team with Torciela, and Geralt and Lainie were on the same team, and started to explore the [chessboard] ], and agreed that regardless of whether there is any news, you must gather at the exit before 6:00 pm."
"As a hunter, I am very good at hiding, and I can just make up for Torciela's impulsiveness... Therefore, we were not discovered by anyone during the day's exploration. Until six o'clock in the evening, Torciela and I explored without results, and we agreed Time back to the exit, but we didn’t see Geralt and Leni. They may have missed. Just as I was discussing to rescue, a black shadow appeared in front of us, and we didn’t even see each other clearly He was already knocked down to the ground, and passed out in a coma."
Mr. Sneve sighed at this moment, "When I woke up, I saw Geralt, Yuleni, and Torciela... We woke up in the banquet hall of the old castle, and at that time In front of us, in addition to the owner of the castle, there is also a huge [chessboard]... that thing we want to steal."
"The owner of the castle knew that we came for the [chessboard], and he made a request to let us participate in the [chessboard] game. If we can defeat him, he will let us take the [chessboard] away .”
"Even if it's not for the [chessboard], this is our only way to survive... We seriously underestimated the power of the castle owner. We thought he was the kind of little vampire who hides, but we didn't expect that the castle owner turned out to be a powerful Among the thirteen clans, he is a nobleman in the Zmihi clan, and he is also one of the heirs of the clan. We really have no choice."
"So, when Mr. Sneff participated in the game, he was the master?"
"How do you know?" asked Mr. Sneff in surprise.
"Because you survived, and you have lived until now." Boss Luo said indifferently: "According to the rules of the chessboard, if a follower fails or dies, he will not be able to leave..."
Mr. Sneff sighed: "I was the master at the time, and my servant was Geralt after drawing lots. Lainee was also the master, and her servant was Torciela."
"This is the first time we are fighting on the [chessboard], and we are not familiar with all the rules of the [chessboard], but the owner of the castle, Wali Zmisch, is the owner of the [chessboard]. As you can imagine, we How huge the gap is... You are also here now, so you should be able to understand the danger here."
Hmm... There was no danger for the time being, and Boss Luo continued to draw fire.
"But no matter what, after a period of groping and luck, we finally met and gained good benefits... We could have met in this [Roaring Forest] right away. At that time, there were only three masters fighting against each other. , we believe that as long as we can join forces, the chances of defeating the owner of the castle will increase greatly."
"But I made a mistake." Mr. Sneff took a deep breath at this time: "Before the final confluence, I encountered a difficult problem, which needs to be solved before I can move on. I made a mistake in answering, which led to Geralt was caught in a difficult battle, and it took three rounds to successfully end the battle. Then when we ended the battle, the master of the castle had already let his servants attack Torciela."
Clenching his fists tightly, his wrinkled arms couldn't help shaking slightly, Mr. Sneff gritted his teeth and said, "Torcieira lost and died in the chessboard space. The punishment roulette appeared, and Leni had to turn her... She was punished, and her soul was put into the chessboard... It was me, it was such a simple question, but I answered it wrong. It was I who killed them."
In the midst of grief and remorse, Mr. Sneff coughed a few times, and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Geralt is injured, he can't cope with the next battle at all... It's just that I was dominated by anger at the time, and the Obviously there are enough action points to escape from [Roaring Forest], allowing Geralt to recover elsewhere, and even get more resources to regroup, maybe there is a dawn of victory... It was me, I was the one who desperately let the Geralt immediately launched an attack. He clearly reminded me, but I still ignored Geralt's reminder... I killed him, I killed him."
"I killed him."
He was crying, maybe he needed a good cry in front of people.
"Later, Geralt as a servant died, so you will also face the punishment wheel." Luo Qiu waited for a while, and only after Mr. Sneff calmed down a little, he asked slowly: "Then how did you survived, and became the gardener of the castle... for so many years."
"I did spin the roulette." Mr. Sneve said in a low voice, "but the punishment I received was to throw myself into the board and fight a random monster. I don't know if this is fate playing with me, or My punishment... I only know that I must survive, I must take revenge, and I must take revenge on the owner of the castle... The battle made me lose my eyes, make me crippled, and even ruin my appearance, But I still defeated the monster... I managed to get out of the [chessboard] alive."
"The owner of the castle didn't drive me away, and threw me into the courtyard. He told me that it was because of my mistake that he was able to win the game. He wanted to thank me, so he kept me."
"I know that he just wants to look at me as an old dog, the daily pain and suffering, and listen to my incompetent but crazy roar... These are all things that make him happy."
"I can't remember how many years I have lived in the courtyard... For me, the days are just repeated pain."
"Until, once again, I entered this [chessboard]...as a follower."
"That's the story you want to hear."
…
…
The fire is gradually extinguishing, and the smaller and smaller flames are like Mr. Sneff's life value at this time.
"Do you think, after many years, today is finally a chance for revenge?" Boss Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
Mr. Sneve shook his head: "Over the years, I have understood a truth... the idea of revenge through the chessboard is never possible. No one can defeat Valli on this [chessboard]. I have seen too many Time after time, the participants saw him cornered again and again, but he was able to reverse the victory in the end."
Sneff looked at Luo Qiu at this time, "In fact, this is all designed. He designed it again and again, which made you feel hopeful... Even, it doesn't matter what kind of function card you take out from the function card box. It may be that he has already arranged it. Your hopes, your dawn of victory, are all just his game!"
"But you still entered." Boss Luo said indifferently: "And you gave up staying outside, and continued to look for opportunities for revenge... Since Mr. Valli cannot be defeated inside the chessboard, I think there may be a way outside the chessboard."
"There is no other way." Mr. Sneff said sadly: "Look at my appearance, do you think I am capable of killing Vali? Impossible, no... For so many years, I have not waited to have Powerful, the demon hunter who can kill him appeared... Do you know the flower wall in the courtyard? And the willow forest in the center of the flower wall, do you know how they are cultivated? They are made of the demon hunters who died here, Cultivated by the blood of adventurers and even ordinary people... I can't even count how many of their corpses I have disposed of over the years."
"I can't hold on anymore." Mr. Sneff took a long breath: "He didn't turn me into a vampire, not even a ghoul, I'm still just an ordinary human being. I will age, and I'm already Incomparably aging... I may not be able to last for many years. I came here this time just to see them again... They died in [Roaring Forest] at the beginning. I know that their souls must have been tortured here for so many years I only hope that at the end of my life, I can come to their souls and repent."
"I... I seem to be able to see them."
At this moment, Mr. Sneff's eyes gradually became hazy, and he seemed to see a few small lights and shadows surrounding him at this moment.
They were like elves, they looked at him with gentle eyes, and nestled on his shoulders.
"Is it you?"
Mr. Sneve murmured at this time: "Lainee, Torciela... Geralt, is it you? Are you here to pick me up... I'm sorry, I haven't visited you for so many years, let you In this dark forest... sorry, sorry."
Mr. Sneff closed his eyes slowly, as if waiting for his long-awaited death that had now come.
…
…
"Well... I'm sorry, but Mr. Sneff, maybe you didn't see them." Boss Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
"You nonsense! They're here! Right beside me!" Sneff couldn't help becoming agitated...opening his eyes, exasperated.
"This place is full of miasma, especially near this kind of water source, it should be thicker." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "You probably... because of the miasma, so you saw the illusion. In fact, I am really not with you. around, what do you see...them."
"Nonsense! Nonsense! How could I be caught in miasma! But you didn't!"
"Oh... I seem to have the blessing of advanced poison damage immunity, so the miasma should have no effect on me."
Mr. Sneff opened his mouth, as if he felt bad all over, and drained all of his energy.
how to say.
So angry! !
