Chapter 14: A Fatal Goodbye

"You're... Dane! You're really Dane! You're not dead! Oh my! You're really alive! ”

Cherki looked at the familiar face, and the look on his face suddenly changed from panic to shock.

He took two steps forward, trembling and reaching out to touch Dane's face, only to be slapped away by Dane's disgusted face.

"Hey! I haven't seen you for decades, and you've really changed a lot, but you won't like men anymore, right? ”

"Fuck off! Bastard boy! You like men! Tell your first mate how you managed to get out of that boat in the first place. Cherki was annoyed by Dane's taunt, but then laughed again.

He patted the old guy in front of him on the shoulder and asked with curiosity on his face, "You guy is still so young!" And look at the muscles in those shoulders! Gee! Tell me honestly, did you have some treasure under that trench to keep this appearance? ”

"Dear First Mate, do we have to catch up in this little alley full of rats? Why don't you talk to us about a better place? ”

Dane took a step back and said to Cherki with a warm smile on his face.

For some reason, the old man always felt that the old guy in front of him seemed to dislike others touching his body.

"Okay, okay! You kid... Who are they, though? Is it your friend? ”

Cherki was still on basic vigilance, and his instincts told him that the sudden and touching reunion of a long-lost reunion seemed to have something wrong.

Since Dane is still alive, why didn't he come to them before?

And that time at the fish market, since they both saw each other, why did Dane run?

Also, since Dane was determined to come to see him, when was it bad to meet, why did he take two people to meet him at the corner of the alley in the middle of the night?

What made him feel uneasy the most was Dane's face, which had not changed at all from decades ago.

Is this guy lucky, not only did he not die in the shipwreck, but he also got another chance?

Or is there something else going on here?

The more Cherki thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and once again his right hand slowly touched the short knife that had just been withdrawn from Dane's hand.

"They? They are a couple of my new friends... Come, come, I'll introduce you. Dane still had a friendly smile on his face, and he didn't care about Cherki's small gesture in the slightest, but waved his hand behind him, motioning for the other two black-robed men to come forward.

"These two are Marcy and Perrault, companions sent to me by the 'God of Evolution'."

"The god of evolution? What is that? Dane, you're a seaman, and you're damned for changing your faith in Lady Mist! ”

Hearing Dane's words, Cherki's brow furrowed even tighter, and he began to move quietly to move towards the side alley.

All the gods that the seafarers who begged for a living at sea believed in or superstitious were the legendary "Misty Lady", a fictitious deity that simply referred to the "Misty Girl", to whom the crew paid tithes and prayed for the blessing of the Misty Lady every time they went to sea.

In the past, Dane and him were both believers in Lady Mist, and he hadn't even heard of that "God of Evolution" before today!

Why did Dane suddenly change his faith in the Mist Girl and believe in some hellish "god of evolution"?

Cherki already sensed something was wrong.

The guy standing in front of him now seems to be Dane only on the surface, and the real Dane will never turn his back on Ms. Mist!

Just as Cherki had slowly moved himself to the edge of the three-man encirclement, Dane's voice with a friendly smile sounded in his ears again, only this time, Cherky could clearly hear the coldness in the laughter.

"Where do you want to go? Dear First Mate? ”

Goodo......

Cherky stiffened, and the cold sweat on his forehead that had stopped seeped out again.

Bless the Fog Maiden! If you really have a spirit in the sky, let my old Cherki have good luck once more and escape from the strange situation I am facing now!

Cherki prayed silently in his heart, and he swore that this was the first time he had prayed to the goddess in his heart since he had begun to worship the Misty Lady.

"I think... I'm a little sick right now... Maybe... Maybe we can see you another day? ”

He pressed his back against the dirty wall by the alley, his clothes already soaked in cold sweat.

"Another day? It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and I thought you'd be eager to see me, an old fellow!

You've let me down so much, First Mate! ”

Cherki's words didn't know which nerve Dane had stimulated, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely hideous.

Dane pressed towards Cherki's location step by step, and the other two black-robed men also blocked the retreat on both sides of Cherki, walking towards him one left and one right.

"Don't do this, Dane, don't... I... I saved your life! Remember? I saved your life! ”

Cherki drew his short knife desperately and shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

First, he was indeed frightened by this strange scene, and secondly, he hoped that the cry for help would attract the attention of others.

Unfortunately, the reason why the Dane had to wait until Cherki himself walked to this place was because the area was very far from the main road.

Although he was very sure that with the strength of the three of them, he would be able to forcibly complete the task even if someone found out, but in any case, it was of course best to be able to avoid any extraneous branches.

"You've saved my life, that's true, but the God of Evolution has also saved my life! Moreover, the God of Evolution not only saved me, but also gave me a broad road to the Upper Human! ”

Dane whispered feverishly as he reached out and grabbed old Cherki's shoulder.

"Look at me now! My power! My body! I've never felt so powerful and fulfilled!

Come with me, first mate, you too will have such power! ”

"No... No! Let me go! What do you want?! What do you want! I'm not going with you! Old Cherki doesn't go with you! ”

Cherki struggled frantically, his instincts telling him that if he was really captured by this gang, the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted.

"Give up struggling! You can't escape! Dane's hands were clasped only on Cherki's shoulders like iron pincers, and no matter how much he struggled, they never wavered.

"Six, there's no time, hurry up and deal with him!" Just as Dane was about to persuade Cherki, another black-robed man behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, signaling that time was running out and that he should hurry up and solve the problem.

"Well, you forced me, Mr. First Mate......" Dane, known as "Six", sighed, and a dazzling gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Old Cherki was shocked by this light, and his whole person suddenly softened.

"Take him with you, let's go!" Dane looked at the old Cherki who was lying in the corner of the wall and nodded, and a black-robed man behind him immediately stepped forward, put the old man on his shoulder, and a few people walked towards the direction of the noble district at a very fast speed.

Behind them, the shadow insects also spread their wings and sheaths, and under the guidance of the monitoring king insects, they followed the three black-robed people all the way.
