Xia Yao wiped the tears from her face, and the next moment, a new scene appeared again.

Something cold was stuck in my neck, and I couldn't move my hands and feet.

Xia Yao tried to pull it a few times, but she heard the sound of iron chains colliding.

Her vision suddenly cleared up, and she was paraded through the streets on a cross.

The orcs on both sides of the street cast hateful glances at her, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

Half an hour later, the parade was over and she was taken to the back of the execution ground by two tall orcs, awaiting execution.

Is this going to end?

A thought popped up, but was immediately rejected by myself.

It is impossible for Bazel to be executed here, otherwise how could he go to the human Perth Empire later?

Someone must have saved him.

Who could it be?

Just as a fragment flashed through his mind, Basel's most familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Elvina...you...!" the original Bazel said in surprise.

Without saying a word, the visitor raised his giant axe and chopped off the iron lock on the cage with a snap.

The cage door opened, and she grabbed Bazel's slender wrist: "Go, go quickly!"

Xia Yao didn't want to leave because she still had a lot of questions to ask.

Bazel, the original form, shared her thoughts and didn't run away. Instead, he frowned and said worriedly, "You shouldn't have come to save me. You'll ruin your future."

Seeing that he didn't leave, Elvina sighed in anger, grabbed Xia Yao and ran through a small door, saying breathlessly, "What's the future? Friends are the most important. Haru has left us, I can't lose you again..."

Xia Yao's pupils suddenly shrank.

Only then did she notice that the person in front of her was no longer the same as in the previous scene.

Elvina's figure has become more mature, her back is a little wider, and her belly is a little bigger...!

Xia Yao was shocked: “You are pregnant Elvina?!”

No wonder I get so breathless when I run.

She quickly pulled back his wrist and pushed him into a corner, her voice trembling slightly: "You have a baby! You shouldn't have come to save me!"

Her eyes turned red uncontrollably, and Xia Yao felt her emotions fluctuate violently: "Do you want to kill two people at once? Or do you want to watch your baby lose its mother at birth? Just like Haru's son Rex?!"

System: [Successfully collected character card - Rex]

Rex?!

Haru's son...?!

Xia Yao opened her mouth in astonishment, shocked by what she had just blurted out.

No wonder she felt familiar with the two scout orcs. It turned out... Rex was actually Haru's son.

What about Eugene with his golden hair and golden eyes?

Xia Yao couldn't help but look at Elvina again. The same blonde hair and the same golden eyes.

It was all too obvious—Eugene was Elvina's daughter.

Elvina covered her swollen belly, smiled and shook her head. "I'll be fine. Since that battle, I've been named the First Gusi, and I've also married into the Jean family. The Jean family is a well-known and influential family in the empire. They won't let anything happen to their unborn child. Don't worry~"

Gene family.

Xia Yao was stunned for a moment, and recalled Gene in the previous scene. The other party and Mur were both Gusi. The two of them successfully escaped and survived the battle.

Unexpectedly, he married Elvina after returning.

This is also good. Elvina, Bazel and Haru are all orcs from remote tribes. They have no family and no resources. If they want to gain a foothold in the vast empire, marrying into the first-class Jean family is indeed a good way.

Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of the Gene family, Elvina would be fine.

The original Bazel wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard the sound of pursuit from behind.

Elvina's face changed, and she hurriedly pushed him out: "Hurry up, this time Prince Feroman III is determined to use you to pave the way for his throne. I know you are wronged, and you would never betray the orcs. There was a spy in the battle, but unfortunately no one found out who it was. The king was furious and resentful, and he announced to all princes that whoever could find the traitor would inherit his throne.

You are the sacrifice carefully chosen by the Third Prince, and he must kill you today. Bazel, don't hesitate, listen to me, leave the Feroman Continent immediately and never come back!

Two palms pushed towards her heavily. Xia Yao frowned and asked as she stepped back, "Have you chosen a name for the baby in your belly?"

Elvina was stunned for a moment, then she touched her belly and said, "Eugene, regardless of gender, it means a nobleman as beautiful as emerald."

System: [Successfully collected character card - Eugene]

Xia Yao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled gently: "Okay, I'll remember it. Elvina, goodbye."

She jumped up from the top of the wall and easily climbed over it. Xia Yao saw the scenery on both sides quickly receding like a movie.

After awakening his abilities, Basel's physical fitness has improved a lot. At least he no longer gets out of breath after running a few steps like when he was a child.

Running wildly all the way, Xia Yao looked at the direction and found that Basel was fleeing towards the human Perth continent.

This is consistent with what Xia Yao experienced later.

Bazel came to the Perth Empire. Because he was half human and thinner than ordinary orcs, no one could notice him among humans.

He settled in Plague City (it was not called Plague City at that time), calling himself an "exorcist poet". He accumulated soul fragments by collecting the souls of dying people. Soul fragments were his foundation, and only with them could he use his skills.

This practice is indeed unkind to the human race, but for Basel, it is the foundation of his survival.

Without the soul fragment, he would always be that skinny and incompetent half-orc.

He was so desperate and helpless as he watched his good friend Haru being skinned, Pollick being pierced, and Seth being thrown to death.

Xia Yao could understand Basel's situation back then. On the one hand, he hated his own incompetence and wanted to become stronger, but on the other hand, he didn't want to harm the lives of innocent people, so he always looked for dying people.

This was the case with Sarah, the little girl who was terminally ill and the deputy governor of Plague City. Since her condition could not be cured, she might as well offer her soul to him and let him make the best use of it.

It is indeed as the system said, this is a profession that was born in darkness and reborn from despair.

Thoughts flowed in my mind, and the steps under my feet gradually became empty.

The scene went black.

[Current character collection progress 50%]

Ah...damn character cards, there are still 10 cards missing. Xia Yao looked at the floating text box in front of her, feeling helpless.

The scene changed and a card letter appeared before his eyes.

The handwriting on the letter was crooked, obviously written by a child.

Who could it be?

"Uncle Bazel, is that you? You're going to read this letter, right? Mom's dying. Can you save her? Dad wants to execute her. I went to beg him, but he ignored me and locked me up in a small dark room. I'm so scared and worried..."

Luckily, I had my reliable friend Rex, who crawled into the dark room and helped me mail the letter...

...I often hear my mother mention you and Uncle Haru's names. You are my heroes. Heroes are powerful. I believe Uncle Bazel can definitely rescue my mother! ..."

Signed: Eugene Jean

It's Eugene!

Xia Yao's heart skipped a beat. She stood up and the chair behind her fell onto the wooden floor with a bang.

There was a black cloak hanging at the door of the room. She reached out and took it, pulled it around her body, opened the door, and her dark figure instantly blended into the night outside.

Basel was already in his mid-life at this time, because Xia Yao clearly saw the rough and dry skin on his arms, which was very different from the condition in the previous round.

The difference lies not only in age, but also in his mastery of his own skills.

At this time, he was no longer the timid orc on the battlefield, but had grown into an exorcist poet who mastered eight skills and used them to perfection.

He rode at full speed all the way to the Feroman Empire. Facing the orc soldiers who tried to intercept him, he easily solved them with just a few arrows.

Following the address on the letter, he groped his way into the Gene family's backyard in the dark.

The firewood was piled several meters high, and a man holding a torch stood next to it.

On the other side stood two orcs, holding down Elvina, who was kneeling on the ground.

Decades have passed, and Elvina no longer has the beautiful face she once had. Her long, golden and smooth hair is now as messy as a bird's nest that has never been taken care of. Her beautiful eyes are also covered with a layer of dust, and look dull from a distance.

Her husband, Gene, who had been on the battlefield that year, was wearing a neat suit. He faced Elvina and said to Bazel with his back to her, "My dear wife, it turned out that you were the one who let Bazel go. Do you know how much danger this behavior would bring to us?"

"Bazel deserved to die. Back then, his life alone could have secured the throne of the Third Prince, Prus, and my family's honor. Why did you disobey me and bring shame upon me?"

"The plan that the Third Prince and I carefully planned has been ruined. Do you know how much of a loss this is for me?! And yet you kept it a secret from me for so many years! In your heart, am I, as your husband, inferior to that cowardly half-orc?"

Basel hid in the darkness and gradually pulled the string.

But Elvina grinned weakly, "Coward? I wonder who was the most cowardly one back then? Hehehe, you're Gusi, your duty on the battlefield is to protect every comrade, but have you done it? Haru could have been saved, but you and Mur escaped at the last minute! Desertion is shameful, it's a capital crime!"

As if he had touched a landmine deep in his heart, Gene exploded instantly. He didn't care about his class image at all. He strode forward and grabbed Elvina's face tightly, his eyes red. "Did I have a choice at that time?! There are so many people on the other side. How can a Gusi like me be their opponent? Instead of going up and dying, it's better to save my strength for the battle later!"

"Really? Hahaha, then Bazel is their opponent? He didn't even run away from any of the unawakened orcs. How dare you make excuses for yourself?"

"As expected! Bazel, Bazel, you only know Bazel! Elvina, I've had enough of you. I'm going to burn you to death, a fickle woman like you! Come on, light the fire."

The torch was thrown into the firewood pile and the flames ignited instantly.

Through the distorted air, Xia Yao saw that Elvina did not resist at all, and just let the servants with IDs on their heads push her into the fire.

A long arrow broke through the air!

Without any accident, he stabbed Gene who was facing away.

The servants were in a panic for a moment, and Basel shot arrows one after another, and they fell one after another.

He jumped off the wall and ran straight to the person who was slumped on the ground, his tone full of heartache: "Elvina, I'm back."

Having killed Gene from the elite orc family, Bazel will definitely be included in the kill list.

But he didn't care. After going through so many twists and turns, nothing could scare him anymore.

From Xia Yao's perspective, she found that she could no longer control the character of Bazel.

Perhaps it was because the copy had reached its end and the plot would no longer develop according to her will.

She saw Bazel fighting his way through all obstacles and rescuing Elvina from the many orcs who came after hearing the noise. He fled the empire with his friend in his arms, and obeyed his friend's wishes to bring her back to her childhood tribe.

The tribe hasn't changed much; the small cave where they lived in their childhood is still there.

Elvina lay at the entrance of the cave and weakly held Bazel's hand: "Thank you, I'm finally back."

Bazel's eyes were gloomy, and it was unknown what he was thinking. He only said, "Well, we are all back."

The nights in the tribe are brighter than those in the empire. The stars in the sky twinkle, and looking at them makes people feel sleepy.

Elvina slept on the grass, her head resting on her hands, and said drowsily, "...I never betrayed Jean. He was my husband, and I loved him...But I can't watch you die. I have to save you...The empire is so huge, and people's hearts are so complicated. I miss the tribe...It was so fun back then, the sky was blue, the grass was green~We laughed heartily on the mountain...We..."

The faint voice eventually turned into a breeze and floated gently past Basel's ears.

Elvina slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

They seemed to have returned to their childhood.

At the same time.

"Wow, your planning department is really not human. Why come up with such a cruel plot! Oh, my tears, they are falling down one by one like pearls!" After watching the Bazel copy through the internal system, Sandao Buddha burst into tears.

His howl was responded by the resentful looks from the planning department.

The three Buddhas retreated in quick succession: "What are you doing? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Everyone:

"...Do you know how many times we've revised this story..."

“…100 times, no more, no less…”

"I was so exhausted from writing that I finally managed to submit the manuscript before the deadline yesterday."

"...There are still seven hidden professions left to write. I see you have a lot of energy. Come on, brother, help us rack our brains and come up with ideas~ Hey, don't leave!"

Three Buddhas: Run away, run away! He's a science and engineering guy who's only responsible for data calculation and monitoring. Asking him to write? It's better to kill him!

However, the three Buddhas who were escaping from the planning department area slowly stopped, touched their chin and began to think.

A few days ago, he accidentally triggered the mage's hidden profession - Red Dragon Mage.

The image of the Red Dragon Mage is a very handsome, long-legged, red-haired sister, which is completely different from the gloomy temperament of the Exorcist Poet wearing a black cloak.

In other words, the story of the red-haired sister is likely to be high-energy.

The three Buddhas chuckled twice and began to look forward to it secretly.

The author has something to say:

Planning Department: Haha, you think too much.
