An Ran shrugged and said, "Just assume you don't know what it is."
Brad fell silent for a long time before speaking again: "Her ex-husband was an elf. He died in the massacre."
An Ran didn't respond, knowing that Brad would continue speaking on his own.
"I was outside the tavern, listening to Nina's heart-wrenching cries. The soldiers stabbed her husband's stomach with their swords right in front of her, letting his internal organs pour out. As he was dragged away, he told Nina not to cry..."
At this point, Brad's eyes were red. "I wanted to save him. I really wanted to save him. But I couldn't do it!"
"It's not your fault." An Ran shook her head and poured herself a glass of wine.
"No! It's my fault!" Brad said firmly, shaking his head. "That murderous demon is my father! And I'm the demon's son! This is my biggest mistake!"
997 The Son Who Killed His Father
"No one can decide their bloodline or birth," An Ran said lightly, "but they can decide the path they will take in the future." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Nina, who was not far away.
"Can I really decide my future path?" Brad followed his gaze with a somewhat obsessed expression.
At this moment, he did not notice that the kitten that was originally lying on his companion's shoulder had jumped onto the dining table and was feasting on the lamb leg on Anran's plate.
"Don't ask others, ask your own heart." An Ran said meaningfully.
"Hey, man." After a long silence, Brad finally seemed to come to his senses. "You really sound like a philosopher now. Do demon hunters even need to learn philosophy?"
"It can be an elective." An Ran smiled slightly.
"Okay, what are you going to do next?" Brad took a breath and asked.
"Do what you have always wanted to do." An Ran smiled and said softly.
"You, you..." Brad was stunned, his eyes gradually turning into shock. "You know everything?"
"I told you, I can read minds." An Ran shrugged, with a slightly playful expression.
In reality, he wasn't reading the other person's mind; it was just too obvious. Plus, An Ran had a bit of analytical talent, so he was able to infer the other person's thoughts.
Yes, this prince wants to kill his father.
But he instinctively felt that this thought was too outrageous, which was why he ran away from the palace. Before coming to Gaoyan City, he had been able to suppress this thought, but now it has become even stronger.
In the past, he wanted to kill his father not for the people of Kaedwen, but for himself.
It wasn't because of the simple thought that he was afraid that his father would look down on Nina and would interfere, preventing him from marrying her.
Brad simply wanted to kill his father for revenge, because his biological mother, the Queen of Kaedwen, was strangled to death by his own father.
That was ten years ago, when Brad was still young.
He watched helplessly as his mother gradually died and collapsed in front of him. This scene had an extremely strong impact on Brad at that time.
That year, Brad no longer considered Henselt his father, even though he almost always granted his requests.
Yes, just almost.
Henselt had never treated him badly in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. But when Henselt ordered the massacre of the non-human race, Brad had pleaded with him with tears in his eyes, but he still did not change his mind.
This made Brad finally understand that his father was a complete devil. He wanted to kill this devil and avenge his mother!
"Let's go." The food on the table was swept away. An Ran put the little black cat back on her shoulder and said calmly, "Next, we should go meet the king."
Book Artist: Wow, is An Ran-san's next stop to kill the king?
Hatchet Girl: That sounds interesting.
Lazy Kitten: I remember in the world of The Witcher, Kingslayer seemed like a rather troublesome title? It seemed like with that title, many nations would be unfriendly to you.
Skirt-lifting maniac: Eh? There’s such a thing?
Lazy Kitten: Yeah. But there are some weirdos out there who are very curious about the Kingslayer.
Curly: Humph, so-called hostility from other nations is actually just fear from those kings, right? They're afraid they'll suffer the same fate, so they treat the king-killers as heinous criminals.
Miss Beaver: Huh, Mr. Gintoki could actually think of this?
Curly-haired boy: ??? What do you mean by that? Gin-san, am I a moron in your eyes?
Ms. Beaver: No, no, that's not the case. It's just that I usually think Gintoki-san is not very reliable, so when he suddenly becomes reliable, I find it strange.
Curly-haired boy: Shut up and take back what you said!
Book artist: He is telling the truth, why do you want to take it back?
Hatchet Girl: That is to say, hasn’t Yin faced up to his own weaknesses yet?
Curly: Hammer’s weak spot, that’s simply slander!
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Check out our newly developed Hextech airship in Zaun. [Image]
Clicking on the image, one is greeted by an alloy warship suspended in mid-air. It looks incredibly impressive, with dazzling magic cannons mounted on its bow and hull.
Hatchet Girl: Cool!
Skirt Uplifter: So cool! Does this thing use Hextech crystals as its energy source?
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Hmm.
Skirt Uplifter: Has it already gone into mass production? If so, I'd like to buy a few!
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: We're still in the preparation stages. If you want one, wait until we've finished testing. Don't worry about whether I'll sell it or not. I'll give you a few later. I'll also provide you with blueprints and Hextech Gems.
With these things, Academy City's technological level could naturally develop this type of hovercraft. As for why they didn't sell it? They were sisters, so what was the point of talking about money?
Book Artist: I want one too! I want one too! But I want the finished product. I don't need the blueprints or Hextech Gems!
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Okay, no problem.
Konan didn't ask Eriri what she needed the Hexspeeder for; she would provide it for free if her sister needed it. Hermione, however, was curious about the question and sent a direct message: "Miss Eriri, why do you need the Hexspeeder?"
Book artist: Because it’s used in war.
Hatchet Girl: Fighting? Oh, those Abyss Demons, huh? They're so troublesome, and you haven't dealt with them yet?
Katsura Kotonoha knew that Eriri was the first member of the group to become a demigod. Even Li Mochou and Unohana Retsu ranked behind her, so her strength must be among the best among the demigods.
But even so, they still couldn't handle those abyss demons. It was conceivable that those demons must be very powerful.
Illustrator: I hate to admit it, but these Abyssal Demons are truly something. They're clearly a murderous and brutal species, yet they possess a knack for military tactics...
998 The Evil Farmer
Skirt-lifting maniac: ??? You know, you know the art of war?
Saten Ruiko's expression was very confused, with a hint of astonishment on her face.
She remembered that when Eriri described the abyss demons some time ago, she only said that they were creatures with brutal nature and were keen on killing.
Judging by these characteristics, these so-called Abyss Demons should be like those monsters in movies, TV shows, and anime. They possess powerful and terrifying strength, but their actions are all based on instinct.
But I didn't expect that these monsters would actually know the so-called "art of war"? This is really surprising.
Book Artist: That's right, the art of war! When you're imagining something, you're making it real; when you're real, you're imagining something! These abyssal demons are actually mastering this tactic!
Skull Island Handsome Guy:? I don’t understand…
Curly: Humph! As a gorilla, I really can't expect too much from you.
Skull Island Handsome Guy: Do you understand?
Curly-haired boy: Is that even necessary?
Hatchet Girl: No way, Gin-san, do you really understand? I don’t understand either!
Curly-haired boy: Of course I don’t understand, but that doesn’t stop me from despising non-human creatures!
Hatchet Girl:......
Miss Beaver: This is discrimination, absolutely discrimination!
Skirt-lifting maniac: How about, Ali-chan, elaborate on this?
Illustrator: That's pretty simple. Our defensive line is right here at the Border Kingdom's great fortress. After all, those Abyssal Demon troops are gathering outside the fortress. It's obvious they're planning to attack the Eastern Continent from this line, right?
Lazy Kitten: And then, they turned the corner?
Illustrator: It wasn't a detour. Their miscellaneous troops had indeed been attacking the fortress, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. This made us complacent, and we assumed their main force was just like us, biding their time in the rear. Until the day before yesterday, our headquarters received intelligence that the Kingdom of Zelda, located far behind them, had fallen.
Lazy Kitten: Wow, this wave is really something. Did they use bait directly?
The illustrator said: If it had been like this, it wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, the Human Alliance could have used the teleportation array to send reinforcements directly to the rear. But after the frontline mages activated the teleportation arrays, we realized that they were all ineffective.
Lazy Kitten: Ineffective?
Book Artist: Yes, it's broken! It's completely unusable! This is clearly due to a problem with the main teleportation array.
This was logically impossible, as the main array was located within the heart of the Human Alliance, within the Glorious Church. It was guarded by fifteen red-robed high priests, who also possessed the power of divine descent.
The so-called divine descent is the power to summon the gods to descend.
If fifteen high priests jointly launched a divine descent, they could summon the true form of the god. Although there was a time limit, how terrifying was the power of the god?
A god who descends in his true form can destroy a demigod with just a wave of his hand.
Scarlet Snake Fairy: If I’m not mistaken, there must be a traitor among humans, right?
Skirt-lifting maniac: No way? What's the point? If humanity is wiped out, what good will those traitors do? They'll still be slaves, right?
Lazy Kitten: It's hard to say. There's no shortage of people who are blinded by greed. If you give them enough benefits and promises, there's no guarantee they won't take risks.
Illustrator: I also think there's a traitor. No, not just a feeling! There must be a traitor! And this traitor has a high position in the alliance!
This is not intuition, but a fact analyzed by Eriri.
Firstly, the location of the main platform was known only to the top brass of the Human Alliance, including Eriri herself, the Saint of Vandersey. Only the leaders of the Empire knew where the main platform was.
The second thing is that he can enter the church and shut down the main array, which is definitely not something a demon can do.
The entire theocracy is enveloped in a divine barrier, perfectly distinguishing between humans and demons. Even the most elaborate disguises remain unchanged within the demon's soul.
With this barrier in place, it was impossible for demons to sneak into the Theocracy, let alone enter the cathedral dedicated to the True God and shut down the main array.
Scarlet Snake Fairy: I see. I think I understand what you need the airship for. If the teleportation array can't be used, then we'll have to take the airship to provide support.
Skirt-lifting maniac: But Sister Xiaonan’s airship development progress is not that fast, can we catch up?
Illustrator: I don't know either. We can only do our best. But don't worry too much. Even if the main force can't make it back, the high-end combat forces can still find a way to defend.
This is not a consolation, but a fact.
The so-called high-end combat power refers to professionals above level eight. Regardless of their profession, even warriors who reach level eight possess the ability to "fly."
Although the speed was not very fast, every kingdom and empire must have its own hidden backup plan. Taken together, the Eastern Continent should not fall so quickly.
Lazy Kitty: It's been tough. Ali-chan's world was originally just an ordinary everyday world, but it ended up like this.
Book Artist: I didn’t expect this either. It’s really…
According to the original plot, she should have been just an ordinary girl who loved comics. Why has she now become the saint who saved the empire? This is a complete deviation from the script.
Foul-mouthed Suit Guy: Hey, guys! I think this is the saying, "With great power comes great responsibility." Spider-Man's uncle is pretty good at talking, and he summed it up perfectly.
Book artist: Shut up, I don’t want this kind of responsibility!
Foul-mouthed man: You only want ability and no responsibility? You're wrong to think that way, and you'll be criticized!
Book artist: How dare you say that to me, you shameless old thief? What kind of person are you? Don't you have any sense?
Foul-mouthed man: No, no, no, uncle, I have always been law-abiding. I have to farm every day and help people reform.
Skirt-lifting demon: It sounds nice, but in reality, I am just being an evil farmer.
999 The King Who Fears Death
Foul-mouthed man in a suit: "Evil farmer? Damn it! Why would you label me like that? This is a shady operation. I'm appealing!"
Book Artist: So tell me, how are you not like the evil farmer?
Foul-mouthed man in a suit: Uncle, I didn't ask black people to help me pick cotton!
Book Artist: Poof!
Fairy Chilian: What are you talking about? Picking cotton?
