"Hoo."

Very convincing.

Is it.

He took a deep look at Samir.

"I'm very curious about one thing, Samir," Ricky's words made Samir nervous, and Crassus narrowed his eyes:

"Before we arrive, did you ask: Why did the Punishment Knight kill that child?"

Samir's breathing stagnated slightly.

Why?

He was silent for several seconds.

Ricky slowly approached him:

"Is there something that you haven't told me yet?"

"Maybe...about the royal family?"

Looking at Samir's expression, Ricky chuckled:

"Okay, I know you may still be unable to let go of the vow you made back then. I completely understand this..."

But Samir took a deep breath and interrupted him.

"Sarkel did that"

Samir looked at Ricky seriously:

"Maybe it's because... he's really crazy."

Really crazy?

Ricky frowned, looking suspicious.

Samir lowered his head unnaturally:

"You also saw that one moment Sak'el was shouting to kill, and the next moment he came back to help them. I think he must be really crazy."

This time, under the gray but dawning sky, Ricky stared at Samuel for a long, long time.

But Samir didn't raise his head.

"Oh, that's crazy," Ricky looked at the other person, but his tone became weird:

"Is it any wonder it's so hard...to communicate?"

He was still observing Samir's expression.

Samir coughed and suddenly spoke:

"Listen, if you want the secret of Barney's swordsmanship, you can, if we can take the kid away..."

At this moment.

"Hey, Ricky! Uncle Ricky? Uncle Ricky?"

Ricky and Samuel turned their heads and were surprised to see Prince Thales raising his hand high in the crowd and shaking it at them.

Little...clumsy?

"Um, can we take a moment to talk?"

Thales' vigorous hand shaking and loud shouting attracted the attention of many people. Marina behind him even put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"You said...take him away?" Ricky glanced at Samuel, sighed and walked back:

"I do think so."

Ricky came to Thales and returned to his calm and slightly humorous look: "Your Highness, don't tell me you want to find a secluded place to pee."

"Because you can deal with it right there and we don't mind."

To his surprise, Thales smiled, showing a row of teeth:

"I suddenly thought of a question. Regarding the Disaster of Qi, he went to the Tower of the End with you, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the mercenaries who were busy with their own affairs fell silent.

Many people are looking this way.

Ricky's expression changed.

He turned his head and said to Samir gloomily:

"Watch them."

After saying that, Ricky grabbed Thales' shoulders and pulled Thales to a secluded corner away from the crowd with great violence.

"Ah, oh, be gentle, be gentle...I'm still young...you can't..."

"Okay, okay, I just won't resist, don't use any more force..."

As Thales stumbled and protested along the way, Ricky threw him away.

"Give me a reason not to knock you out." Ricky said coldly.

But Thales just patted the sand on his body, gasped and shrugged.

"That Dragon Breaker or something, that's what Qi Disaster wants, right?"

Thales smiled and said:

"Your behavior in prison makes me feel... you are not that eager for this matter."

There was a subtle change in Ricky's expression.

"And what you want is the black sword with the sin of Hell River," Thales said in a formal tone:

"Yes, I know, that weapon was brought back by Black Sword."

Ricky's eyes widened a bit.

He stared at Thales for three seconds.

"Honey, I found out," Ricky's tone probably matched the temperature of the desert night:

"You are cuter when you listen carefully."

Thales bared his teeth helplessly.

The young man looked back at the crowd and scratched his hair:

"Those names."

"Those names you mentioned, they took me some time to recall, but..."

Ricky narrowed his eyes.

Thales turned around, took a deep breath, and said seriously:

"The Iron-Blooded King is the king of the north who died heroically in battle against the ancient orcs before the Age of Kings;"

"There is a scene from the imperial era drama about how the black knight was tried for committing regicide;"

"Solon Tann is the name of the Tann family in the North. They were deprived of the Welland Territory because of their intention to murder the king, and were removed from the ten grand ducal families of Exeter;"

Every time Thales said something, Ricky's expression darkened a little.

"As for Chu Crassus, he is the one who betrayed the Tower of Ending and established the Sword of Disaster more than a hundred years ago."

Thales finished the last sentence.

Ricky looked at him and snorted softly.

This kid, maybe Samir is right.

Thinking of this, Ricky said:

"Correction, we don't call it a disaster..."

Thales interrupted him again:

"According to your statement, they are all people who have awakened the sin of Hell River, right?"

Ricky raised his eyebrows.

"You once said that the power of ending is me," Thales took a few deep breaths:

"But it seems that every owner of the Hell River Sin has a bad end."

"Including Black Sword."

This time, Ricky looked at him deeply, as if he had discovered something extraordinary in Thales.

"I have a few friends who once practiced at the Tower of the End, and they told me," Thales tentatively said:

"The biggest difference between the Sword of Disaster's final power and theirs is that it surrenders to the worst things in its power - madness, violence, and pain. Even the opponent can feel it."

"Am I overthinking it?"
