Will looked at the scene in front of him with a bit of a headache. As a bounty hunter, he was definitely good at fighting, but this was the first time he had to comfort someone and he had no idea where to start.
Will patted Bendy's shoulder helplessly. In this situation, he could only stand aside quietly and wait for Bendy to calm down.
After a few minutes, the sobbing gradually stopped. Bendy stretched out his right arm to wipe away the tears from his eyes, and looked at Will with red eyes.
"We didn't have time to ask the Lord of Chinoxi for help. In the end, when most of the village was destroyed, the captain of the Hogge caravan brought people to rescue the dozen of us who survived. Then the village was destroyed and we had nowhere to go, so we had no choice but to follow them."
Will frowned when he heard this. Although he thought of something, he was still a little uncertain, so he asked Bendy.
"Then why did you join this... sect?"
"There is nothing we can do... In today's world, it is impossible for us common people to survive.
There are monsters everywhere outside. Civilians like us can hardly survive more than half a day, let alone make a living..." Bandy showed a worried expression.
"So you all joined a cult?"
“There’s nothing I can do!
What can we do!
We just want to live!
We..." Hearing Will's words, Bendy seemed to be touched on some nerve. He suddenly became agitated and yelled at him.
After yelling, he seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head in a depressed mood.
“······In this way······at least I can still be alive·····” Will looked at the boy in front of him, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he closed his lips and fell silent.
Yes, this damn world, a world where people can’t survive... It’s really damn bad!
Will clenched his right hand, feeling an inexplicable anger in his heart that he wanted to vent, but he had no place to vent it.
The atmosphere froze, and after a moment, a flash of blood-red light from the direction of the magic circle broke the silent atmosphere.
Will sighed, patted the shoulder of Bendy, who was looking down in thought, and walked past him towards the magic circle.
"It's human nature to want to live, but if I lose myself in the process, then I'd rather die..." "Don't take part in the battle later. I'll talk to that guy Guette."
Listening to the firm words behind him, two tear marks ran down Bandy's cheeks hidden under the black hood... Guet listened to the footsteps coming from his ears, without turning back, his attention was focused on the constantly flashing magic circle.
"Are all the lower-level believers of your Blood Mist Sect forced to join by villagers?"
"oh?
Where did you get that from that idiot?
But what does this have to do with you?"
Hearing the question in his ear, Guette answered with a sneer, but his expression under the hood became solemn.
Will looked at the blood-colored mist gushing out from the center of the magic circle and spoke slowly and casually.
"Don't worry, I'm not a messenger of justice. I'm just a little curious."
Guette sneered, "These words are just to fool those little brats, do you think I will believe them?
We are all people who have survived in a harsh environment. Who would ask these questions out of curiosity? "
Seeing that Guette had seen through his intentions, Will was not too surprised. He no longer pretended to be indifferent. He turned sideways and looked at him seriously.
"I just want to understand the situation. I don't want to work for someone without knowing anything."
Having said this he suddenly paused, then looked at Guete with some joking expression.
"I guess your current situation is not very good, otherwise you wouldn't let me monitor you."
"snort!"
Guet snorted coldly. Seeing that the magic circle had come to an end, he didn't want to talk to Will about these meaningless things anymore.
"right!
Most of our congregants are villagers from various small villages on Kern Prairie."
Since he had decided not to hide anything anymore, Guette decided to just tell everything he knew.
"We were originally just a group of cultists wandering around the kingdom... Haha, if we weren't forced to live by those evil nobles, who would have become a cultist wanted and hunted everywhere?"
He laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Then a caravan approached us and said they wanted to hire us. I was really surprised at that time. How could anyone in the Kingdom of Sava dare to hire cultists?"
At this point he looked up at Will and gave him a weird smile.
"How about you guess who wants to hire us?"
"Moore."
There is no need to guess, Will got involved in this matter because of Moore, and now the situation is so obvious.
"Yes, yes, yes!
It's that bastard Moore!"
Hearing Will's answer, Guette waved his right arm and laughed, as if he had fallen into madness.
Seeing this, Will frowned and gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, guarding against the strange person in front of him, thinking that he was a cultist after all, so it was not impossible for him to suddenly go crazy.
Seeing him suddenly prepare for a fight, Guette stopped his meaningless movements, rolled his eyes twice, cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, I'm not crazy, I just think our previous idea is a little ridiculous."
Before Will could figure out what the ridiculous idea in this sentence meant, he took two steps forward and stared at Will with wide, bloodshot eyes.
He muttered to himself in a low voice, "We actually wanted to use some means to pull him into the Blood Mist Sect so that we can control him and use his status and power to hide."
“It’s just ridiculous thinking about it now.
We actually want to use some small means to control the head of a family with hundreds of years of heritage."
Hearing this, Will couldn't help but interrupt him, looked at him with a serious face and said: "But, when I met him before, he... seems to have joined the Blood Mist Sect and became a cultist just as you said..." "Hahahahaha..." Hearing Will's words, Guet seemed to have thought of something funny and couldn't stop laughing.
He stopped only when Will's face looked a little ugly. He turned around expressionlessly and looked at the fully activated magic circle. His voice suddenly became very low.
"Yes, we thought it was a success at first... It was indeed a success... But it was part of his plan."
At this time, his back in Will became lonely, and the whole person seemed to have lost his energy.
"Do you understand?
Our thoughts and actions are completely in line with his plan.”
Guet looked at the grass with lifeless eyes and asked Will back.
Facing Guette's question, Will...
