Chapter 549: Betrayal and Reckoning

Just as the lichs of the Circle of Truth were preparing to teleport on a large scale, Henry and his party in the Forbidden Prison finally walked out of the labyrinth and returned to the interior of the Forbidden Prison. Although there are a lot of troubles along the way, there are also a lot of gains. In particular, a bowstring obtained on the lower floor was found to be another part of the "Gesen Short Bow".

Henry immediately reassembled the two parts together, and obtained a powerful short bow that could shoot lightning directly without the need for arrows.

When he handed over the weapon to Ammon, the monsters he encountered in the second half of the journey became a pitiful target, countless white lightning bolts shuttled through the narrow corridors, whether it was a troll or a minotaur, they would convulse after a few blows, and the three warriors of Kogan, Aberdale and Minsk took the opportunity to rush up and slash at each other, and after a few seconds, only a pile of minced meat remained.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Gerson Shortbow:

This is the best bow Gersen Khan has ever made, drawing energy from another realm and sending it out in the form of lightning spears, so it doesn't require any form of ammunition. Legend has it that Gerson was about to retire after selling this priceless weapon, but a thief forcibly snatched the bow from him and killed Gerson with it. In addition, the bow has the added function of providing the user with the ability to resist electricity.

Equipment Capabilities:

Electrical resistance increased by 20 percent

No arrows are required, and each pull of the bowstring automatically generates a lightning spear

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Arguably the most useful ranged weapon Henry has ever seen, each lightning bolt can deal damage similar to the third-level magic "lightning spell", and it doesn't require any spells or spell casting moves. Just keep pulling the bowstring and you're good to go. If the body of the shooter is sufficient. It is completely capable of shooting lightning spears continuously and uninterruptedly. It's almost like a mobile turret, and it has an overwhelming advantage over most enemies.

Amon is now completely in love with the new toy, holding it in his arms for a moment, and as soon as he sees the wind and grass, he will immediately shoot a lightning spear. Fortunately, it is really in the labyrinth, otherwise it will definitely hurt other passers-by by accident.

The crowd hadn't gone far down the corridor when they saw a sneaky shadow coming in front of them. Kogan let out a loud shout, and rushed straight up with an axe. This guy reacted fairly quickly, though. In an instant, a tumble, and the sharp axe blade swung against the tip of his nose, taking away a strand of hair by the way.

"Don't! Don't do it! It's me! Simon. Havarian. The shadow shouted as he rolled on the spot to avoid the dwarves' frenzied pursuit. Although he looks very wolfish when he rolls and crawls, as long as you pay attention, you will find that this bastard's dodge action is just right every time, and he definitely has spare strength.

The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he waved at Kogan and shouted, "Stop, this man is our captain, and he will need it when he goes back later." ”

After hearing this. The dwarf chopped two more axes in a row before he reluctantly put away his weapon and muttered, "Damn! That's just a little bit short! ”

Simon paid no attention to Kogan's malicious eyes. Dusting off his body, he laughed and beckoned: "Hey! I didn't expect us to meet here, what a coincidence. ”

"Coincidentally? I don't think so. You seem to have met two people you shouldn't have seen last night, and you sent out a piece of information, am I right? Dear Mr. Captain, Henry narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

He was very curious now, what gave this guy the courage to dare to move between so many powerful forces, did he really not know how to write dead words?

"Uh...... I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Ah, it's getting late, and I think I should go back to the ship. Good bye! Simon sensed that something was wrong, turned around and ran backwards, as fast as he was wearing Speed Boots.

Henry sneered and snapped his fingers, only to see a long flaming whip suddenly appear out of thin air, wrapping around Simon's legs at once, and falling to the ground with a "plop".

A second later, the succubus Netis, wielding a flaming whip, appeared in everyone's sight. With a mocking smile on her face, she dragged Simon back little by little, then lifted her boots and stomped on his head and cursed loudly, "Idiot! Even if you dare to oppose the great master! I've been watching from the moment I docked, and your every move is under your master's control. ”

Aberdale frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" I couldn't understand a word. ”

"Quite simply, this captain was hired by the Shadow Thieves Guild to send me and Aemon to the island, and then sold the information to Joan. Irenikas' men. And this succubus was my servant, and I told her to keep an eye on this cunning fellow. Henry explained succinctly.

After hearing this, Aberdell's face immediately became gloomy, and he raised his two-handed giant sword and slowly turned it towards Simon. Havarian walked away, his expression terrifying. After such a long period of inhuman torture, he had already put Tong Qiong. The guy Irenikas was implicated hated to the core, so he directly moved to kill.

"Nope! Don't kill me! Wait a minute...... Wait a minute! I have something to say! I was forced! Simon also apparently realized that his situation was very dangerous, and shouted desperately.

Henry grabbed the angry Aberdell: "Calm down, my friend, listen to what this guy has to say." ”

The latter took a deep breath, put down the sword in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Okay, you still have a minute, if there are any last words, hurry up." ”

Seeing that the sharp two-handed greatsword did not fall, Simon finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he explained, "I can understand your anger, but it can't be helped. Joan. Irenikas gave me poison, and if I didn't hand over the information, I would be poisoned and killed. ”

"Really?" Jasila asked, lowering her voice.

Henry nodded slightly: "Really." However, this guy has a lot of bad deeds in the past, often betraying his employer, and wandering between major forces to gain benefits, otherwise I wouldn't be so wary. ”

"It's not a good thing! Just let me chop off his head with an axe. As he spoke, Kogan tightened his grip on the handle of the axe with both hands, a bloodthirsty glow in his eyes.

His appearance frightened Simon into shouting, "Wait! Don't kill me! I also know some secrets! ”

"Oh? Speak up and listen. If it really works, then I'll let you go. ”

Although Henry didn't think that this guy could say anything useful, he decided to listen to it in the spirit of being willing to kill by mistake rather than let it go. After all, Joan. Irenikas is really not very easy to deal with, and it would be nice to get a little more information. In particular, the curse on his body is too troublesome, and so far he can't find a good solution to it, so he can only drag it for the time being.

Simon swallowed and said in a fast and urgent voice, "I know of an evil plan!" Joan. Irenikas intends to use the power of the Dark Elves to attract the attention of the surface elves, and then lead an army of monsters himself into the city of Sodenisra in the Tails Forest......"

Before he could finish speaking, Henry waved his hand impatiently: "Enough! I already know all this information, if that's all you know......"

"Don't! I still have a copy of Joan. Irenikas's Diary! So saying, Simon quickly opened his belt bag and pulled out a yellowed notepad from inside, which, judging by the color of the parchment, had been used for at least hundreds of years. Now in order to save his life, he can't take care of too much.

Henry sneered, snatched the notebook and began to look through it carefully. He soon discovers that this is not just a diary, but also contains some inspiration from the research and development of magic, as well as Joan. A change in Irenikas' heart. One of them records the encounter with the Time Dragon, and it was because of this encounter that he had the desire to develop time magic, and the page of scales was also obtained at this time.

From the diary, it can be seen that this guy was not so evil and crazy from the beginning. In the first half, there is a nostalgia for hometown and family, but in the second half, these things become less and less, and finally even disappear completely.

He grows angrier, hating the elven queen who abandoned him, the city that expelled him, and even the world.

When a person can no longer feel the love of his relatives, the warmth of his family, and the longing for his hometown, this person's opportunity has completely fallen into darkness, and there is no possibility of being saved.

Joan. Irenikas himself noticed this, and as a result, endured unimaginable pain, and after reaching the limit of his endurance, finally broke out. Unlike an avenger in the ordinary sense of the word, he is a complete destroyer, and the meaning of saving zĂ i is to destroy all that was previously cherished, and it is only when they are no longer in zĂ i that it is possible to achieve true peace.

After reading the last page, Henry took a deep breath and then instructed the succubus servant, "Let go, this diary is useful." ”

"You're in luck! Next time, if you dare to play this kind of trick again, you won't have such good luck. With a flick of his wrist, Nexis instantly drew back the flame whip.

Simon, who had survived death, got up from the ground and hurriedly bowed to everyone: "Thank you very much for your magnanimity, if there is nothing else to tell me, I will go back to the ship first." ”

"Wait! It just so happens that we're going to be back, and we happen to be together, so I don't feel comfortable letting you leave alone. The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he said meaningfully. He knew Simon too well to be a person, so he would never allow this guy to leave his sight, otherwise he would suffer a big loss if he didn't pay attention.

"It's my pleasure." Simon deliberately gave a very exaggerated smile. However, if you look closely, you will find that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his real mood was not as happy as it came out...... (To be continued......)
