When he was feeling groggy, memory images that were more vivid than reality flooded into his brain.
The lovely, evil son Etiennu, the only family member around him. The healthy appearance of the past appeared in front of his eyes. He inherited his flaxen hair and his sky-blue eyes exactly like his father.
That child has more energy than other boys, is always lively and active, and makes chickens and dogs restless in the neighborhood.
I have a headache about this, but as long as Etienne shows her coquettish smile, I, who is now called "the most evil murderer in history", "Midnight Demon", and "Jack the Ripper", can only smile bitterly.
Try to forgive him.
A cute boy, even from a stranger's perspective.[
However, happiness did not always accompany this child.
In the past, "Jack" was not "Jack", but as a devout and devout Huguenot, he joined the famous "Knights of the Golden Fleece" in the Burgundy region for the sake of the Mother Goddess faith and the motherland, and served as a magic sergeant.
, together with many comrades, fought a bloody battle against the orcs and pagans on the hellish front line of Lapland. I regret this.
But as I lost my comrades like brothers one after another in that bloody quagmire, and witnessed the miserable life of the people in the war-torn areas with no improvement, a voice came from somewhere in my heart.
God - does he really exist?
Does God really love the life He created?
God - why has this kind of desecration of life been allowed to continue for a thousand years, and will it continue in the future?
With fear and uneasiness, I suppressed this voice. After staying on the front line for a year and returning to my hometown, I was greeted by people who were sad, unfair, and angry.
Local officials in their hometown greedily exploited the village, causing complaints among the people. At the beginning of the year, a group of dragoons came from the royal capital, entered the gathering place of Huguenots, and declared that Huguenots were a heretical faith and all believers must
Convert. Otherwise, you will choose between the Inquisition and the Dragoon's wand and lance.
In less than a month, the large trees in more than a dozen villages were covered with the corpses of those who did not want to convert. Under the violence, people could only wait with bated breath for the storm to pass.
However, things will not get better because of this. Under the escort of dragoons, the new tax collectors will intensify their exploitation. Regardless of whether they are Huguenots or not, once they are targeted by them, it will not be complete until their families are destroyed. They
They also colluded with unscrupulous businessmen and underground banks to embezzle government budgets, demobilization allowances, and remittances from other places - including the military pay "Jack" remitted to his family.
When "Jack" returned from the front line, what he saw was his partner's grave. And Etiennu, who was suffering from hunger and illness. Lying on the bed with only one breath left, Etiennu was waiting hard for "Jack" to come back.
Ennu.
Driven by intense anger, "Jack" rushed into the Governor's Mansion, uncovered the Governor and the bank boss hiding inside, and killed them all in less than half a day. Then, the once high-ranking five-point magician became one of the many on the wanted list.
One of the portraits.
The local people were full of gratitude to "Jack" for killing the evil governor and helped cover their escape. From then on, "Jack" and Atiennu embarked on their escape journey.
Life on the run was not easy, and Etiennu was ill again. The situation became even more difficult.
It is an incurable disease.
Several of "Jack's" ancestors had suffered from this disease, which could not be cured by medicine or magic. In the end, they died young due to exhaustion. According to the strengthening magician, this disease is hidden in the blood and only exists in the blood.
It spreads among a family, and it is difficult to cure it with current treatment methods. Even if there is sufficient funds to support it, all it can do is prolong the patient's pain. Not to mention that it is impossible for the two people to spend so much money on their escape journey.
Come, "Jack" can only watch in despair that his beloved son is getting weaker day by day.
After reviewing relevant literature, "Jack" discovered that it is impossible to completely cure such diseases, but there are still ways to solve the problem.
First, use manipulation magic to transfer all of Etiennu's personality into the body of a healthy person.
However, this type of magic is an absolute taboo. The church has issued repeated orders not to contact or learn this kind of vicious magic with rare successful cases, and has designated relevant documents to be sealed. Nowadays, there are no magicians who can perform the personality transfer magic. Jack is right
I have no idea whether I can succeed.[
In the worst case, it will directly kill two children.
Second, replace the failing parts of Etiennu with fresh and healthy organs.
This is a relatively feasible solution. If you are proficient in intensive treatment techniques, you are also familiar with operation techniques, and finally you have a certain amount of surgical experience, "Jack" can completely implement it on his own.
Is it just that the source of fresh organs is special or where do we get organs that are suitable for Etiennu?
In the past, "Jack" had also proposed the concept of organ transplantation, and conducted experiments on animals despite the risk of demonic beliefs. However, in such experiments that relied on rough and casual rules of thumb, the survival rate of the experimental subjects was not high. Because of the large number of
Blood loss and strange complications led to the death of most of the experimental animals, and there was no way to prove that the technology had practical prospects.
"Is this my sin? Is this a punishment? Is this a reward for fighting for my faith?! Almighty Mother Goddess, if you want to hold the person responsible for murder, I am willing to be punished, but Aitiennu has no
What's wrong? Mother Goddess! Devil! I am willing to sacrifice my life and fall into hell, as long as I can save my son, even if I am the enemy of the world, I am willing!"
"Jack" suddenly aged dozens of years in a few months, and almost went crazy. He prayed like this, and at the same time, he began to take action.
Abduction, human experimentation, and killing. For Atiennu, "Jack" turned a large number of children of the same age, same size, and even similar appearance to his beloved son into experimental sacrifices. But even so, progress was still slow.
In an increasingly desperate situation, I don't know if it was God or the devil who answered the prayer.
The armored carriage was discovered by chance. The continuous heavy rain made the rural dirt roads muddy, and also loosened the road foundation. The enhanced protection ability caused the carriage to be overweight. Therefore, unfortunately and inevitably, it hit the foundation and collapsed, and after overturning, it slid to
At the bottom of the hillside. "Jack" who happened to be passing by below witnessed this incident. From the excess armor plate on the outside of the carriage, "Jack" could guess that it must be loaded with high-value cargo, jewelry, gold, and antiques. That's why Mark
Protect with excessive caution.
After experiencing a tragic accident, the escort broke his neck and breathed his last. The escort above had to go around a big circle to get here. Before that, the things in the carriage were the main objects... Correction, it was "Jack" who was the only witness at the scene
”’s belongings.
Relying on the precise control of magic, he destroyed the lock of the carriage and cut off all the chains fixed inside. "Jack" took away the black box inside, used magic to eliminate traces, and left the scene.
When the lead-filled safety lock was blown and the black box was opened, "Jack" was disappointed with what was inside.
There are no rare treasures, and there are no banknotes that smell like ink. There are only some black folders inside. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is your support.
