Richard stared at Wang Xiaohai in front of him with his gray eyes, and said slowly in a gloomy voice:
"Before the Alliance was established, this castle belonged to Earl Luke, the lord of this region. He maintained an army outside and a guard inside the castle. The captain of the guard at the time was an upright and brave man."
Richard saw that Wang Xiaohai didn't move, so he continued, "The captain of the guard and the earl's daughter met by chance one night, were attracted to each other, and fell in love and became lovers."
He seemed to have not spoken for hundreds of years, and once he opened the floodgates he spoke nonstop.
"Two months later, their affair was discovered by the Earl. He was furious. A servant dared to pursue his daughter! He had originally intended to marry his daughter to another lord's son. So, Earl Luke had the captain of the guard arrested and thrown into the dungeon. He was tortured and insulted, subjected to insect bites and burning with red-hot irons, and force-fed all sorts of strange drugs, treating him like a mere animal for experimentation." Richard's voice was filled with anger as he spoke these words. "A year after he was tortured, the Earl told his daughter that the captain had died while on a mission. However, his daughter had long forgotten her lover and didn't care about her father's words. She then married another lord's son."
"Unexpectedly, one of the medicines the captain of the guard took during the experiment was a special drug that could transform him into an evil spirit. The probability of successfully transforming into an evil spirit with this medicine is less than one in ten thousand. Unexpectedly, the captain of the guard relied on his unwavering willpower to endure the incomparable pain and became a terrifying evil spirit. His strength was greatly enhanced. He swore revenge and would kill everyone in the castle. So he disguised himself as a servant and instigated and deceived the people to rebel against the count."
"Now that your strength has improved, you can just kill him yourself. Why do you want to incite the people in the castle to rebel?" Wang Xiaohai asked. He knew that Richard was talking about himself.
"Although the captain of the guard knew he had the power to kill everyone in the castle, there were still many masters in the empire who were stronger than him, and he would be in danger. So he had to disguise himself among the servants, incite rebellion, and seal off the castle. This way, he could act in secret and kill everyone inside. When the imperial army arrived, they found everyone dead. They didn't seriously investigate the cause or reason, but simply cleaned up the bodies and sealed the castle. However, they didn't expect the captain of the guard to still be inside, sleeping and waiting for the seal to be lifted before he awakened."
Wang Xiaohai understood that the guard captain Richard hated everyone, his heart had been tortured into a pervert, and he enjoyed killing people for fun!
"Hundreds of years have passed. The old empire disappeared, the Alliance was established, and the castle was auctioned off to the Chen family. After they acquired the castle, they simply sent some people to clean and renovate it. No one noticed I was still on the upper floor. Although I sensed someone coming, I was too weak from sleeping for too long to fully wake up. Fortunately, so many of you came this time, and I finally woke up."
"Even if you wake up, your strength has not fully recovered, and you may not be able to beat me!" Wang Xiaohai decided not to waste time talking and start fighting directly.
He felt that Richard's breath was slowly growing as he talked nonsense. No wonder he was willing to explain so much.
Wang Xiaohai stepped on the huge rock with his toes, and the rock shattered. He shot towards Richard like an arrow, and the long knife in his hand drew a beautiful arc and chopped towards Richard's head!
