With a slap, Xiao An's other face was also swollen, and he stopped going crazy. He just stood there trembling, and the dark atmosphere never faded from his body.

"I want to save my mother! No matter what."

"I want to win the game, no matter what."

"Even if you become a monster."

Snap!

Zheng Yan slapped her again and said coldly: "She's not dead yet. Just wait until she dies and then turn into a monster and take revenge on the world."

Xiao An lowered his head, and tears fell down his cheeks. He began to sob, and his body was shaking continuously.

Zheng Yan immediately knelt down, picked up the woman who looked like she was about to die, and walked outside the house. The only way now was to take her to the Second Public Security Station, hoping that the white-robed nun was still there.<

/p>

When he walked out of the door, a pure white light fell down. Xiao An behind Zheng Yan was enveloped by a condensed beam of holy light, and his whole person was locked in it.

"Why are you here!" Zheng Yan looked at Alicia who was walking slowly in surprise. She looked calm and leisurely, but she still looked a little dusty.

"I felt the breath of darkness appearing in a corner of the city, so I hurried over. Sure enough, someone seemed to be swallowed by the darkness." Alicia walked forward and said as she walked, and then looked at Zheng Yan hugging him

The woman who is wearing it.

"This is the mother of this child. She looks like she is dying of illness. I was just about to take her to find you." Zheng Yan said, then turned around and placed the woman on the floor outside the wooden house.

Alicia first glanced at Xiao An, who was struggling in the pillar of holy light, and then looked down at the woman on the ground. The holy light enveloped the woman's whole body.

"I roughly know how this child was swallowed up by the darkness. He probably wanted to win tomorrow's duel competition, save this woman with the rewards from the duel competition, and pay off the loan at the same time, but he ran into a hill." Zheng Yan sat down.

He tied up the pony next to him and said lightly.

"So he fell into the darkness in despair?" Alicia frowned, carefully sensing the internal situation of the woman's body.

"It's not just that." Zheng Yan's tone turned cold, "This kid thinks there is hope. A nouveau riche wants to buy the position of victory. I don't think anyone is willing to sell the chance of this honor, but this kid is definitely willing.

, but the upstart just didn't like this child, and even had the child beaten. When the child returned home, he was visited by the debt collector from the treasury, and told him that there were two more people participating in the duel tomorrow.

Heavyweight, he can't win at all. This kid has no hope, and then a bigger blow comes. The treasury feels that he has no possibility of repaying the debt, and sends people to collect the debt in advance. If the debt is not collected, this woman will be killed.

Sold to a brothel, so how could he not fall into darkness if the world treated him like this?"

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Alicia frowned, and she could feel that her mood was a little low. Then she glanced at Zheng Yan softly, "You helped them and saved this child who was about to fall into darkness."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zheng Yan rubbed his hands and cracked the corner of his mouth, "But I won't save them so easily. If I want to change my destiny, I have to rely on my own efforts and earn my own life, so I

He just got rid of the debt collectors, and he still has to pay back the money. The only hope for this kid is to win the duel tomorrow."

Alicia looked at Zheng Yan for a while, pursed her lips, hesitated, and said, "What you said makes some sense, but I don't agree with it."

"You are a nun, so of course you can't agree." Zheng Yan spread his hands, "Why do you think I didn't become a monster? I have evil hands, I am hated by others, I saw my mother's rotting body that died to save me, and why?

Can it still be like this? If I turned into a monster at that time, do you think you could save me in that situation?"

This kind of saying seems a bit hooligan, but as a time traveler, Zheng Yan knows that saying this can make his own words reasonable and make others unable to refute.

Alicia fell silent. She didn't dare to think about this, but she knew she couldn't.

"You can help him for a while, but you can't help him forever. In the end, he can only walk his own path, and the only one who can save him is himself. When he crosses the hill by himself, he becomes stronger, and he will not be able to help him forever.

I need help from others." Zheng Yan looked at the light pillar. Xiao An in the light pillar had calmed down, his eyebrows were splayed, and he looked sadly at his mother who was being treated by a nun.

"I can't help you." Alicia shook her head, and then said softly: "What you said makes sense. I'm also very... happy that you can come over to help this child without me around.

”

"As long as you are happy." Zheng Yan raised the corner of his mouth and slumped. He was actually in a happy mood. He had already defeated six swordsmen. If the remaining swordsmen were defeated in the duel competition, they would be able to turn around perfectly.

Professional Sword Soul.

"Mom, is she okay?" Xiao An asked with bloodshot eyes after he had completely recovered.

Alicia dispersed the holy light from Scarlett and asked: "Do you know the identity of your mother?"

Xiao An thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know, but she seems to be able to use some magic."

"Your mother is a magician." Alicia said softly: "Every magician has a source of magic power in his body to store magic power, but your mother's source of magic power is empty, so her body is getting weaker and weaker.

Weak."

"Can you save her?" Although Xiao An didn't understand the source of magic, he looked at the nun with bright eyes. This nun sister was very powerful at first sight.

"If the Holy Light could save your mother, your mother would have turned to the Holy Light for help." Alicia shook her head slowly and looked at Scarlett, "What she needs is gold coins, a lot of gold coins, enough to invite another person.

A magician replenished him with the source of magic."

Xiao An's expression dimmed, "My mother also said the same. She needed a lot of money and borrowed money from the treasury, but the loan amount seemed to have been defrauded."

"Look, it's another psychological blow. It would be weird if it wasn't swallowed by darkness." Zheng Yan spread his hands, "So what will it become if it is swallowed by darkness?"

"The Pretender." Alicia said in a serious tone: "It is said to be related to the things deep in the Chaos Land. The location of our cathedral is on the other side of the Chaos Land."

"Pretender!" Zheng Yan's eyelids twitched, "It has something to do with the chaotic land, so do you know about the blood curse?"

"How did you know?" Alicia's eyes widened and she looked at Zheng Yan in disbelief.

"I don't know much." Zheng Yan shook his head and stopped asking further, "The land of chaos corresponds to Ozma, but the previous group of guys who can control ghosts and gods also came from the land of chaos. How can the plots of these two places be combined?

Let’s go together. Shouldn’t ghosts and gods be things in the underworld? Why did I classify those who can control ghosts and gods as humans in the chaotic land from the beginning..."

Alicia wisely stopped asking, looked at Xiao An, and said softly: "I have stabilized your mother's safety for the time being. Next is your situation."

"How long have you been in this state?"

"What state?" Xiao An asked in confusion.

"A state of despair."
