Chapter 453: Not a Coincidence(1/3)
Siblings...cannibalize each other?
Little Barney paused for a moment, his eyes wandering.
It's like recalling the past.
After hearing this, the members of the Guard behaved differently:
Samir sneered, Belletti and Nye remained silent, Tardin snorted coldly, Bree squeaked anxiously, and Cannon, who was walking at the end, even let out a glum expression.
I saw Naji holding the torch in pain, and the flames flickered:
"Barney, please... after we go out, can we just... forget it?"
Little Barney's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if he couldn't understand:
"never mind?"
Naki hummed, and the words spread in the passage, with a vague feeling of nothingness:
"You know, find a place, spend the rest of your life quietly, forget about Sak'el, forget about him..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Thales suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Sure enough, the next moment, Barney's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch!
"Forget him?"
His steps paused for a few seconds, and the team behind him also became confused.
"What about the thirty-seven brothers who died in prison?"
Just listen to Little Barney snorting bitterly:
"What should we do with those who died in Fuxing Palace?"
"What about the old captain, Tony, and my father?"
He clutched his sword and shield tightly, his voice filled with unspeakable misery and anger:
"Your Majesty and Your Highnesses...what should they do?"
"What about the blood shed by the kingdom back then?"
Naji was stunned by him and fell silent for a while.
Belletti patted Little Barney on the shoulder worriedly. The latter shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then continued to move to follow Samir.
However, just when the worried Thales thought everything was back to normal, Naki's faint voice came again:
"But Barney, have you ever thought about those people who died, they might..."
Naki paused and said with deep unbearability:
"Maybe they don't want to see us repaying each other unjustly and killing each other... Maybe they just want to rest in peace, just want us to be safe and sound, and just want everything to go with the wind..."
Thales frowned.
The atmosphere is getting worse and worse.
"Naki," Tardin couldn't help but say:
"Stop talking."
Naki was silent.
Little Barney's humming came.
"Gone with the wind..."
He looked deeply at the torch beside him, slowly becoming confused, then becoming determined again:
“When my father had his arms broken and all his blood drained out, and he was lying silently on the red-stained floor tiles with painful eyes open like a wild dog on the roadside, covered under piles of corpses, he
It doesn’t look like it’s gone with the wind.”
Barney Jr.'s words were full of anger and pain.
The breathing in the passage became disordered.
"There are also the tortures, everything we have endured, and the pain we have faced over the past ten years or so, more than forty people..."
"For more than ten years, the illusions you have seen with your eyes open and closed, the past you have dreamed of, and the future you have imagined..."
"Think again, Sak'el is the culprit of all this, but he escapes the responsibility, deceives the world, and gets away with it..."
"Ask yourselves, Naki, you..."
"Can we really let all this go away with the wind?"
"Then you can live the rest of your life with peace of mind and confidence?"
Every word he said made everyone in the guard slightly moved.
"No."
"At least I can't."
"And this isn't fratricide either."
Little Barney said softly.
"The moment when he, when Sak'el abandoned his oath, betrayed the late king, and raised the butcher's knife to us," Little Barney drew out his sword blade and said coldly, as if he had abandoned the last trace of emotion:
"He is no longer our brother."
The coldness inside and outside his words made Naji shudder slightly.
"We will do our best to find him, catch him, and hunt him by any means, no matter the mountains, rivers, oceans, ends of the earth, or hell on earth." Following the footsteps, Little Barney's sword edge crossed the wall, bringing up the relationship with him.
The same terrible grinding sound:
"We will force Sak'el to answer, let him witness his fate, and watch how his crimes and debts back then are repaid one by one..."
At that moment, Barney gritted his teeth:
"Betraitors must pay the price."
Naki's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of anxiety and pleading: "But, Barney!"
"Whether it is your father or the old captain, they will not want such revenge..."
"Naki!" Tardin seemed like he could no longer stand Naki's untimely persuasion:
"Shut up!"
But little Barney seemed to be aroused by Naki, and he sneered:
"revenge?"
"No, this is definitely not just revenge."
Little Barney looked at the darkness ahead with frosty eyes:
"This is the responsibility of us survivors, our obligation, our burden, and the meaning of our lives."
"Only in this way can we face our hearts without shame and regret day and night in the future."
Naji no longer responded seriously. He just swallowed his throat and said in a low mood:
"Is it."
A little confused and sad.
At this moment, Samir stopped.
"We found it."
He said hoarsely.
Thales was startled and quickly looked up, only to find that they had arrived in a brand new room.
Everyone also recovered from the unpleasant conversation just now and looked around in amazement. Even as prisoners, they had never had the opportunity to visit the bottom floor of the prison.
Under the light of the fire, the room seemed very empty. There was nothing on the ground except fallen wood and stones. However, there was an empty shelf leaning against the wall, the material of which was unknown.
Obviously, there used to be countless shelves here, storing an extremely abundant amount of supplies.
The storage room of the Alchemy Tower.
but now……
"Where's the exit?" Little Barney looked at the empty walls and asked doubtfully.
Samir looked serious and walked straight to the wall opposite the passage:
"See this wall?"
"If Ricky is right, this is a door."
Samir exhaled, excitement rising in his eyes:
"The exit is hidden here. When the entire underground bunker is unfortunately lost and the remaining mages retreat to the storage room, they can still have a last resort to escape."
Everyone, including Thales, came forward in surprise and touched the dusty wall.
