The man's pale face darkened: "And if...if anything goes wrong with any of you, it will be my responsibility."

"I failed."

The Death Crow trembled slightly.

Nicolai reached into his breastplate and squeezed a small stone tightly.

He tried his best to keep his expression unchanged, and his voice was slightly choked: "And I...I need to know why."

"I need to know, I need to know," Nicolette paused for a while, then said sadly:

"Why."

Silence returned to the earth, leaving only the sad sobs blown by the breeze through the cracks in the rocks.

"Hahahahaha," Monty opened his eyes again and looked at the clear blue sky. His laughter was a little bitter: "Sting, you have really changed."

"I finally know why you were able to kill Kaslan, even at an old age."

Nicolai didn't answer anything, but just squeezed the stone tighter and tighter.

"It can be seen that whether it is fighting or... you have completely... surpassed Kaslan."

Death Crow's eyes were misty: "Even in the heyday of 'Shake the Earth', you are just like you now. You are obviously not outstanding in any way. You are usually inconspicuous and you look ordinary.

Monty laughed out loud: "Worse, and better."

Nicolai punched the ground again, with slight anger: "Don't mention him again."

"After today, you have plenty of time to confess to him face to face."

What answered him was Monty's sad laugh: "Hahahahaha...here comes the question, prickly head..."

"You worship him so much, worship 'Iceberg'?"

The Dead Crow laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "But have you really understood him?"

Nicolai frowned slightly.

Monty tried his best to lift his upper body and moved to lean against a low rock. His chin was burned, which gave his smile a more ominous meaning: "Do you know what kind of existence Kaslan Lumba is? "

Nicolai's heart sank.

He remembered that day six years ago, when Kaslan stopped breathing forever in the Palace of Heroes.

Monty sighed softly, with endless sadness and emotion in his eyes: "I really miss that day..."

"Sting head, this is the day when we officially take an oath to become guards' new members from alternate positions in the guard."

Nicolai had some realization, and he raised his head thoughtfully.

I only heard Monty say quietly: "At least, we still had a choice that day."

"And after that day, my future and my life will no longer be bright," he said silently:
Chapter completed!
