For Whom the Mourning Bell Tolls (2)

Vito lifted the curtain to look at the people inside.

Alex sat quietly beside the lying Inger. He was like a sculpture, his eyes filled with concentration, making people wonder if he had not blinked since he sat down.

Vito lowered the curtain and whispered to Alsophila rubra, "That won't work. Even if he is a high-ranking knight, he won't be able to bear it mentally and physically if he stays by his side without sleeping, eating or drinking for a week."

Alsophila rubripes shook its head. "Don't ask me. I don't know how to persuade her."

She told Alex once.

"We'll be on guard at night. What if you can't handle it and miss the time?"

"What if I miss it while I'm asleep?"

Only then did Alsophila realize that he didn't trust anyone except himself.

The red tree also said angrily: "One or two of them are like this! He will give up sooner or later! He will miss the time. Let's see where he will go to cry!"

Vito told her, "Find someone to take over your shift and watch over them both."

Vito has his own duties and cannot stay for long.

Red Alsophila agreed and found a wizard to take turns with her to keep an eye on the two people.

As expected, Alex lost consciousness and collapsed on the bed on the fifteenth day.

It looked like it had fainted to death, and the red tree also frightened itself to death.

However, after examination, it was found that Alex was only in shock and fainting.

Logically speaking, given Alex's physical condition, he shouldn't be able to last only a few days.

But the physical fatigue accumulated in the past and the mental pressure of accompanying Inger these days have already broken his nerves to the extreme, so it would not be surprising if they broke at any time.

No one could tell when Alex had a good night's sleep since the war against the demons began.

However, what happened next made Alsophila want to fan its own crow's beak to pieces.

The day after Alex lost consciousness.

Inger's body turned into flames, transformed into a phoenix, and flew into the sky.

Alsophila immediately sent someone to inform Vito, and even splashed water on Alex to wake him up.

But she looked at the direction the phoenix was flying, and she shouted in horror: "No no no no! You can't go there! How is it possible?! No no no! Come back!"

Red Alsophila chased after him desperately, but she was stopped at the front-line wooden barrier.

Vito just arrived at the scene. He looked at the direction where Inger flew and his expression changed suddenly: "How could this happen!"

He immediately released tracking magic, and the little bird condensed with platinum magic power chased after the phoenix.

He turned to Alsophila rubripes: "Where's Alex?"

The red tree also trembled and said: "He hasn't woken up yet, he can't wake up!"

Vito hurried back to the tent and found Alex lying unconscious on the bed with his eyes closed.

Vito took a pair of small scissors used to remove stitches during surgery from the table next to him, raised his hand and paused.

Alsophila rubripes: "You want to?!"

Vito gritted his teeth.

[If I were him, I would definitely ask me to do this! ]

He stabbed the pair of scissors hard into Alex's shoulder.

Alex frowned.

Alsophila gasped and watched him pull out the scissors.

The blood stained Alex's underwear.

Vito was very familiar with the body structure, so the stab wound was not in a critical position. It just looked like there was a lot of blood and the wound was not shallow because he was afraid that if the wound was too shallow, the patient would not wake up.

Alex opened his eyes.

Vito treated him immediately, saying:

"Inger flew towards the demon camp!"

The moment Alex got out of bed, everything went dark in front of his eyes, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground sideways.

Vito couldn't hold him up and fell down too.

"I know you're in a hurry! Wait a minute before going again. He just flew out!"

As soon as Alex regained some light, he saw a pair of silver scissors. Without thinking, he grabbed the scissors and stabbed them into the wound again.

"Ahhhhh! Stop!!! What if the position is wrong! Let me heal you first!" Vito screamed.

Alsophila looked at the scene in disbelief, then she quickly found the green stamp in the drawer and stamped it on him.

External injuries heal quickly.

Under the stimulation of pain, Alex quickly woke up.

Vito breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he wasn't stupid enough to go there and get hurt.

As soon as his wound healed, Alex stood up and said to Vito, "Thank you. I owe you a favor."

He rushed out without looking back.

Alsophila philadelphica: "You won't stop him?! He wants to go alone!"

"Do you think I can stop it?!" Vito took out the communication badge and connected it to Alex's. "Can you hear me? I'm tracking it. I'll tell you the direction."

When Alex ran out holding the nameplate, Fantine the White Deer stood in front of him.

"Come up. You're going to save someone, right?"

Alex didn't hesitate and jumped onto his back.

He held the nameplate Inger had given him close to his chest, his eyes bloodshot, but he said to another public nameplate in an extremely calm voice: "I'm here, you speak."

Bai Beite hummed a little tune authentic from the eastern mainland and walked into her own botanical garden.

While other teams were advancing madly, his team helped him collect many plants from humans.

In fact, as a king, he had a very good attitude towards humans and tried his best to capture alive whoever he could.

But he did not let humans live to protect them, but because he wanted them to grow plants for themselves and to communicate with them about the cultivation of native plants.

If they don't cooperate, he will still send them to their "mother" to be raised.

The native plants that looked ugly and disgusting in the eyes of the pure-bloods were very novel to him. His hobbies were indeed a bit strange, but among the more rare kings, he was the most normal one.

The botanical garden was filled with a variety of flowers, plants and trees native to the Western Continent. The human slaves had been taken away by his men to be fed collectively.

He saw two unexpected people under a water orchid.

"Haoli? Fei Leng? What rare guests, why are you two here?"

A pure-blood with broad shoulders and narrow waist, with rock-hard muscles, two pairs of wings folded in the middle of the scapula, and a pair of fur tentacles curled out on the top of his head. He heard the call and turned his head, his black hair was disheveled, and his double pupils were glowing with a constant glow of cyan.

This guy is one of the eight kings who likes to transform organisms.

I like to do experiments, splicing various organisms onto the same organism, and I especially like to use humans as the base because humans are the most sensitive to reactions.

But he is not like his "mother" who perfectly blends the genes of various creatures. To put it bluntly, he just stitches and grafts them together, always able to come up with some very disgusting things, and always likes to show them to other kings excitedly, causing all the kings to stay away from him.

As for the guy next to them who looks soft and harmless, he is the only one who can pose a direct threat to their Demon King. He is also the king appointed by his mother and the only half-blood among the nine kings.

Fei Leng narrowed her eyes and smiled at him.

Bai Beit thought that pretending to be perfect all the time was a bit fake.

Bai Bei Te walked towards them with a smile and saw the people on the ground.

"Hey, why is there another one left here?"

Under the orchid tree by the clear water lies a handsome human child.

Holly stretched out his hand, no, his claw, pointed at the human on the ground and said, "I want him."

Bai Beit suddenly realized: "Oh, so you are here to ask me for humans? That's no problem. Do you want anything else? They should be finished feeding, you can choose a few to go over, but not too many." He just wanted to get rid of this guy quickly to prevent him from taking a fancy to his plants.

Then, Bai Beite turned to Fei Leng: "What about you?"

Fei Leng smiled shyly: "I want to find Rui Jun, do you know which direction he is?"

Bai Beit thought for a while. "I haven't known since the last time we met. Maybe he's in the north? He seems to want to do something."

Although she told him the truth, Bai Bei Te was secretly complaining: Do you know where he is so that you can avoid him? What shameful secrets does he have?

He didn't want to reveal anything, nor was he worried, because no matter what this guy did, it wouldn't have much impact on them and their mother.

Fei Leng said politely: "Okay, thank you."

Hao Li picked up the human on the ground and said, "Forget about the others. This is all I need today. I'll ask you for it when I'm done."

Fei Leng walked up to Bai Beite and whispered, "I want a few kinds of fruits. Can you give me a few?"

Bai Beit's eyes lit up. "Are you interested in this too?"

Fei Leng followed his words and smiled: "Yes, I also cultivate human crops in my own village, and the results are very good."

Bai Beite's eyes widened even more. He ran to the storage cupboard and took out the fruits he wanted, and also gave him a few packets of fruit seeds.

"If you want to play with me, come over! You're always welcome!"

Fei Leng smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

The smile is full of sincerity and deep interest.

Bai Beite watched him walk away, feeling deeply relieved and completely forgetting her previous dislike for him.

[This kid is pretty good. ]

it hurts.

It felt like someone had peeled off a layer of skin from my back, and it was burning with pain.

Inger took two breaths and his eyelids began to flutter.

My stomach was empty, but it felt like I had been punched hard. I felt extremely uncomfortable.

This is not right, every time he wakes up, his body should be refreshed...

Inger was blocked by a figure.

A very familiar face.

His pupils suddenly shrank, "Fei..."

Fei Leng stretched out her hand and pressed his mouth, and at the same time a fruit in her palm fell onto his tongue.

Inger didn't swallow it.

He suddenly came to his senses.

Fei Leng just looked into his eyes seriously: "Eat it."

Speaks the language of Eastern Mainland China.

Inger read something else in his eyes.

"Believe me."

Although he didn't have the ability to read minds, nor was he possessed by him, Fei Leng didn't say it out loud.

But the intense and burning emotion in her eyes reached deep into his eyes.

Inger turned his gaze and saw a demon over his shoulder.

The transformation demon, Hawley.

His heart froze.

At the same time, he also realized that his body was tied to a rack.

The meaning in Fei Leng's eyes became clearer.

His eyes were saying, trust me, eat it.

Inger finally chose to trust his allies, even though he himself was not very sure.

In fact, he had no choice in the current situation.

He tried to mobilize his magic power just now, but when he raised his eyes, he could see the heavy insulating stone shackles on his hands.

He didn't know whether the demons used this thing intentionally to imprison human wizards, or just picked it up unintentionally.

Inger swallowed the fruit and whispered in Chuuni language: "Find a chance to save me."

Fei Leng didn't nod, but Inger saw the answer from his expression.

Fei Leng turned around and said, "Look, you're awake now. I have nothing to do here. I'm leaving now."

Hao Li didn't doubt it and greeted him. His eyes were once again focused on the new experiment he had obtained.

Inger half-closed his eyelids and looked at the Demon King.

Fear was like a spider web, sticky and tangled, wrapping him up.

The second after he swallowed the unknown fruit, he began to regret it. His body suddenly fell into a numb feeling, as if paralyzed.

Hao Li sat on a relatively intact sofa used by nobles, with strange-looking demons standing behind him. In their hands and on the shelves beside them were a large number of human-made torture instruments, weapons, and sharp instruments.

Hao Li stretched out his long legs and pursed his cheeks, saying, "Humans do have a lot of good dismantling tools. Let's try them one by one today."

Inger took a deep breath. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a group of people tied up with ropes nearby. Their mouths were bound with cloth strips and their bodies were confined with chains. They were all captured soldiers, trembling with fear.

Apparently, several of them recognized Inger's identity and burst into tears.

"First, cut off one of his hands and keep it in the freezer for later use. Well, there seems to be a beautiful pattern on his right hand, so we'll use that one."

A demon came forward, holding a bone-cutting knife in his hand, and walked towards him.

Without further ado, he held Inger's arms, which were tied above his head.

Inger closed his eyes quietly.

Boom!

There was a heavy sound.

Warm blood splashed on his head.

The right arm hung down helplessly from above.

He heard the groans of human despair.

The feeling of the hand being chopped off was also clearly transmitted to the brain.

But it doesn't hurt.

From the beginning.

All the pain in his body disappeared.

He could feel the blood draining away, and he had a sense of touch.

He finally understood what Fei Leng had given him to eat, and his tense body suddenly relaxed.

The demon's men skillfully took a rope and tied up the cut on his upper arm to slow down the blood loss.

Inger raised his eyes and looked directly at the Demon King.

Holly sat up straight and blinked. "Interesting, really interesting, you can't scream? Obviously other humans scream very loudly."

"king."

His subordinates passed the severed limb over.

Hawley was just about to take a closer look at the phoenix totem on it, but soon, right before his eyes, the pattern disappeared from the back of the hand.

Holly looked up in surprise.

The pattern appeared again on Inger's upper arm.

Hao Li's double pupils shone with a different color, making him look even more eerie.

"Can it move? Never seen it before. Interesting."

Hawley threw his hand aside to be frozen.

Inger's expression darkened.

Staring at the devil calmly and quietly.

The only thing he could do now was to get all the information he could from him.

Holly continued to order: "Peel off that layer of skin and see if it will move."

The demon took out a smaller knife, but it was also a kitchen knife.

The peeling technique was not very delicate, and a lot of flesh was cut off, revealing more of the white bones.

Inger still said nothing, he just tried not to look.
