Chapter 209 Your Name
The old dog's pace gradually slowed down. Instead of continuing to run forward, he turned around and stared behind him.
Deep in his heart, he had an inexplicable premonition that he might die today.
Of course, Lao Gou’s original name was not “Old Dog”. That was the name given to him by someone who had taken him in. Unfortunately, those guys who took him in were not good people. Instead, they were a secret organization called “Obsidian Knife” that specialized in training extraordinary killers.
He was trained to be a real killer. In order to make money for the organization and eliminate hostile entities, he killed many people, including men, women, the elderly, and even children.
The old dog used to have a good memory, but now he can only vaguely remember the days of that period, and he forgets them easily.
Perhaps it is a self-protection mechanism of the brain that prevents him from remembering the past so clearly.
In the end, he was arrested by the church. He did not die because of this. Instead, because the war happened to break out and King Syat issued a conscription order, he was forced to join the Syat Kingdom Army and became a powerful redeemer.
Among all the extraordinary people who have made different "oaths" and become redeemers, the old dog, whose strength is at the middle level of qualitative change, can be regarded as the strongest one in the kingdom's army.
He soon discovered that there was not much difference between life in the army and his days in the secret organization "Black Blade".
All along, I have been just following orders and killing, following orders and killing.
There is no real life, no need to show emotions, and no need to even remember your real name.
Obey orders and kill, obey orders and kill...
After being defeated and captured by the Rheans, the old dog was not afraid of death at all in his heart, but just felt completely empty. He suffered torture in prison and silently lost all motivation in his heart.
Until that day, the man wearing an iron mask suddenly walked through the wall and stood in front of him.
"Prisoner, who are you?" asked the man in the iron mask.
“I’m an old dog.”
The old dog answered without hesitation. He had always answered like that. Everyone who gave the order knew that he was the old dog and was good at killing people.
However, the Man in the Iron Mask shook his head.
"No, I want to know your real name. Well, if you haven't thought of it yet, come with me first. You can think about it slowly until you figure it out completely."
Figure it out...
Darren told him a truth, that from now on, he completely belonged to himself, no matter what he wanted to do or what he needed to get, he had to make his own decision.
"If you want to be a good person, help those you see without expecting anything in return. If you want to be a bad person, burn, kill, rob, and inflict pain. Or you can join me in killing the Rhea people. After all, they almost killed you, didn't they? You have the right to revenge and the right to hate."
"Perhaps after you have experienced enough things and made enough choices, you will be able to figure it out and get your true name."
In the dark prison, the old dog stared at the iron mask. He could not see the true face of the man behind the iron mask and had no idea what kind of person he was.
But suddenly, a hint of vitality emerged from deep within my heart.
He felt that what the man said made sense.
"Okay, I'll go out with you."
At this moment in the jungle, the old dog had a strange smile on his face, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes.
He clapped his hands suddenly and stopped running away.
"You really made the right decision, Darren Fisher. Thank you for not letting me rot in prison!"
The longer the old dog was in contact with Darren, the more he felt that there was a strange magic in Darren, as if he could arouse the deepest desires in other people's hearts.
In fact, if you think about it later, you will realize that those desires are actually hidden deep in people's hearts, but they were lured out by Darren Fisher.
Relying on such abilities, Darren was able to gradually build his own team over the years.
"Hahahahahaha! Come on!"
He also stopped and decided to fight the enemy to buy time for the rest of his companions.
The old dog has lived for decades and has been killing all the time, but has never saved even one person, so he hopes to make different choices.
Different choices from your own perspective!
The next moment, his scarred body began to swell up. The power in his flesh and blood was from the high-level magical beast "Crystal Giant Wolf", which could give him a powerful and indestructible wolf body!
“Woo!”
Just as the old dog was completely transformed, the wolf's nose suddenly smelled a large amount of gunpowder.
He looked into the distance in shock, and then found that a raging flame was burning in the jungle. There were too many flammable materials in the forest, and once a fire was formed, it would take several days and nights to put out.
"What's going on?"
The old dog was surprised deep down.
——
“Burn it!”
There was fire in Darren's palm.
The source of his bloodline power is an ordinary magical beast called "Fire Lizard Spirit", which has the power to control fire and good vitality.
Darren not only possesses sequence power, but also blood power. The two complementary extraordinary powers, plus the trajectory of destiny and runes, make it true that no one below the qualitative change level can compete with him.
Theoretically, combining the magical effect of the destiny trajectory "The Sufferer" and the power of that precious treasure, he could even pose a fatal threat to the extraordinary people who had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Unfortunately, even with the damage reduction of the Fire Lizard, Darren was unable to fight against Arthur Meyer at the time. After all, the power gap between the two sides was too big.
"Burn! Hahahahaha, burn! Burn them all!"
He waved his arms, and a large amount of flames covered the surroundings, instantly causing trees to burn one after another.
After being burned all over his body, Darren's life and destiny changed completely, and his deepest heart became increasingly crazy and ruthless.
Although he trusted his companions very much, he would not be truly sad even if any of them died.
So many people have died over the years, and Darren feels it would be too annoying if he were to be sad about every one of them, so he simply decides not to be sad about any of them!
Flames continued to erupt from the festering palms, spewing into the surrounding forest again and again.
The source of power of the Fire Lizard Bloodline is a very ordinary bloodline. The flames it creates are nothing special, but they are enough for Darren to use.
The spread of a forest fire is like the most intense flame dancer, quickly moving through the woods, with flames whizzing and fire flashing everywhere.
The heat wave spread with the wind, sweeping away the lush trees and dry ground into destruction, like a natural disaster magic that ruthlessly took away the beauty and vitality of the surroundings.
"Nice scenery, let's make some noise, it will be easier to escape this way!"
As for how many lives would die in the forest fire, or even whether his companions would be burned to death, that was not something Darren needed to consider at all.
“Hahahahahaha!”
He laughed loudly and continued to run towards the south. About half a day later, he suddenly heard the sound of flying coming from behind him.
"Hey, are you catching up?"
Darren smiled and turned around, only to see a tall Rhea officer with bird wings on his back flying towards him at a very fast speed in the sky.
He passed through the raging flames and landed in front of Darren, looking very unhappy.
"It doesn't matter. Although a few of them did escape, if I kill you, there will be four of them left. It would be ok to kill half of them..."
The smoke and confusion caused by the forest fire did slow down the lieutenant and prevent him from killing all the fugitives.
Oh, three out of seven teammates died, which is within an acceptable range.
Darren stared at the tall Rhea officer with thick beard on both sides of his face, and suddenly he laughed nervously. Deep down, he didn't feel fear or terror at all, but was very excited!
He knew that it was impossible to escape by relying on his own feet, and the strong man in front of him was not someone he could defeat. His current situation was undoubtedly a desperate one.
Great Lord of the Lost, I may soon return to your arms!
The adjutant stared at the forest fire and the man standing in the thick smoke, and asked loudly and majestically: "What is your name? Iron-masked man, I have heard of you! You are a group of villains who are destroying everything, despicable Syat invaders!"
"My name?"
Darren chuckled and said:
"The name is just a code name. You can call me Darren Fisher, or the Man in the Iron Mask, or anything else. Anyway, what I have done so far has left my real name in your hearts!"
