Soldiers flocked in.
An alchemist apprentice first discovered them with great momentum. "What are you going to do?" he asked tremblingly. "This is the spire of the sword group."
"Get out of the way." A soldier pushed him away roughly, "Don't block the way."
"What are you going to do?" the other party shouted uneasy behind them, "Stop, you can't go in!"
But no one paid attention to him.
Walking through the hall, Leo stood in the courtyard and looked at it. The hurried alchemists found that they all avoided them with horror, fearing that they would cause trouble. The flag representing the city lord was flying, and it seemed to be a little useful. On the right was the place of the Tower of Insight. "Go to the right." Leo made a decision that he would first solve the traitor. If what Mr. Stunas said was true, then even Venanglak, his uncle, could not forgive him.
The Tower of Insight has been defended.
"Who are you?" an alchemist shouted at them, "You are not welcome here, the lord's lackey."
"Don't talk nonsense to them," said Rosie.
Yes, now is not a time to talk nonsense. They have to take the lead in taking the spire before others can react. So Li Ou made a gesture without saying a word. The soldiers ruthlessly squeezed away the alchemist who was blocking in front of him.
"Stop, you can't do this." The alchemists struggled and shouted, and eventually they were controlled by the soldiers, tied together and threw them in the corner. "Let us go."
"Shut up." Leo looked at them, "No one will kill you, just be honest."
"I recognize you!" an alchemist suddenly shouted. "You are Stunas's subordinate!"
"Traitor!" another alchemist spat.
Leo rarely defended himself. He would use facts to tell them who is the real traitor. He looked at these indignant and unwilling people, thinking that they would not be upset or regretful in the future.
"Let them be here and we go."
But they did not move forward a few steps, and the awakened steel guards blocked their way. These mitral puppets have streamlined bodies, holding sharp swords, and are extremely powerful. It is impossible to reach the sky with flesh and blood to fight them with their flesh and blood.
"Li Ou, this..." Lu Yuewu didn't know what to do.
The puppets approached them, making a crackling sound at their joints. They were covered in cold light, shining with a cold light that made people feel scared and desperate. Neanderth's warriors stepped forward and tried to stop them, but Leo stopped them from their meaningless death. "Let me do it," he said, "these steel guards will only obey their masters."
There is no doubt that the Eye of Insight Stunas is their real master.
Li Ou took a deep breath and read a mysterious sentence rich in magic. These vicious puppets stopped immediately. "Guard the door. No one is allowed to come in." After hearing his order, the steel guards turned a blind eye to the intruders, walked past them, and guarded the door.
"How did you... do this?" Lu Yuewu asked.
"Mr. Stunas told me the secret words of control." Leo looked at the direction of the stairs. "Some people thought they could control them, but it was not that simple." He sneered. "Let's go, let's go up, no one will stop us."
The alchemists were controlled by them along the way, and the puppets they tried to attack were controlled by Leo in reverse. They ran unhindered until they rushed to the last high tower, and a familiar person blocked their way.
"Oleph." Leo frowned.
"Li, Leo." He said hesitantly, with a look of embarrassment. Behind him, Stunas's daughter Alisa looked in pain. She looked at Leo, wanting to say something but dared not speak. "I...you go back."
They have already taken this step. They are all the same and can't look back.
"Oleph, you know what happened, you know who is right and who is wrong. Get out of the way." Leo took a deep breath and looked up at his friend. "I don't want to face you with swords."
"Lee Ou, you're like this... they won't let you go."
The demons will not let them go. All beings are equal, only in the eyes of the demons. "No, they will forgive me and punish traitors. I believe it. Eleph, let go and don't block the way."
Olever shook his head, "I won't get out of the way. He is my father."
"Even if he is a traitor."
"I..." Eleph lowered his head in embarrassment, and Leo realized that what Stunas was saying must be right. His father must have colluded with the Black Morning. "He is my father." He repeated repeatedly.
"Where is that pair of Alisa?" the girl raised her eyes, her face full of horror. "Don't you feel guilty about her?"
Alisa opened her mouth wide. She seemed to be unaware of what happened to her father. There was no doubt that Eleph and his father had undoubtedly used her and used her to harm her father.
Elev buried his head deeply and dared not lift it up.
"What's wrong, why don't you dare to say it?" Li Ou asked loudly, "Don't you like Alisa, why do you hide such an important thing from her? Why don't you tell her the truth and tell her that you and your father used her?"
"I...Lee Ou..." Alisa mustered up the courage, "What happened?"
"Your father..."
"…father." Alisa choked up. "He is a traitor, he is dead."
Leo didn't know how to comfort him. "He is not a traitor, he is not dead, he is still alive." Leo stared at Eleph in anger, and looked at his suddenly raised face full of disbelief. "Surprise you, Eleph, Lord Stunas is still alive. Supreat, don't resist."
Alisa looked at Leo, then turned her head to look at Eleph. She suddenly covered her mouth with a painful and incredible expression, and tears surged out. "Eleph..." she asked crying, "You... you harmed your father. Why... why... why did he do this? Why? Why?
Elev remained silent and let Alisa grab him and shake him hard.
Leo suppressed his anger. "Look at him." He ordered the soldiers, "Come with me."
The door of the room was locked, and a Neanderthal slit it fiercely with a giant axe. The room was silent, and Venanlak sat on the chair that originally belonged to Stunas, watching Leo's intrusion without looking panic. From his calm face, Leo thought he had expected such an ending.
"Lee Ou." He spoke first.
"Vinanlak...uncle."
"I didn't expect it would be you."
"I didn't expect it either." What he didn't expect was that the other party was willing to be a traitor by any means. "Does it feel good to sit in this chair?" he sarcastically, "You can't wait."
"You don't understand. Life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I don't want to live a life of being instructed."
Of course, Li Ou understood this. What he found difficult for him to agree with was the other party's means. "So you would use any means to frame and frame the black dawn?"
"This is just the simplest method." He did not feel repentant at all, and it seemed more natural to say, and it seemed to be proud of himself.
"The easiest method?" Li Ou sneered, "What's the more complicated one?"
Faced with his problem, Venanglak was silent for a moment this time, and then... he smiled strangely, and Leo felt creepy. "For example..." He dragged his tone and "kill his good friend."
Li Ou's heart suddenly became in the air. He clenched his fists, unable to suppress the anger and grief in his heart.
Venanlak laughed at his reaction, "Yes, you're right, I killed your father. No, to be precise, I killed him with my own hands. He died in front of me... I buried him."
Venanglak's words were like a bolt from the blue for Leo. Such a fact was even more unacceptable than the arrival of the end of the world. Although he had expected it, Leo still couldn't believe his ears. He opened his eyes wide and his teeth were chewing. He held the sword tightly, and his anger surged up like a volcano eruption.
"Lee Ou." Rosie called him.
And he couldn't hear anything. He stared at Venanglak. "Why did you kill him?" He suppressed the murderous intent and asked loudly. He couldn't escape, but he wanted to kill his enemy with his own hands. After he learned the truth.
"Come on, kill me." Venanlak laughed unceremoniously. "Your father, Fernandez, I killed him! I fed him poison and sent his sword into his chest. You are worthy of being two fathers and sons. He is like you, showing the same expression as you. I deserve it, who makes you trust people so easily?"
His scream reached outside, and Eleph shouted in shock. "Father!" He was taken to the door by the soldiers. "Why, why did you kill Uncle Fernandez? He is your good friend."
"Yes, he is my friend and my opponent." Venanglak's face suddenly became ferocious. "He also took away the only precious treasure in the world that should belong to me! He took away the Orisdu Alchemy Scroll! It can help me become the creator! However, it was taken away by your father and he took it into his pocket, and he refused to share it with his friends."
Leo took a step forward, "So you killed him?"
"It's a pity that I didn't find where it was hidden." Venanglak said with a grim smile, "But it must be in your hands now. Tell me, what is recorded on it? Just satisfy the last wish of a dying person."
"You will regret it if you know the answer."
"oh?"
"The above records - how to kill God, of course, it's good to deal with people." Li Ou raised his sword, "For example, the tip of the enemy is to stab the enemy. You can see if I'm wrong."
However, before he could swing his weapon, Venanglak's mouth spitted black and stinky blood. He took the deadly poison. "You won't succeed." The other party's face was ridiculous and sneered, and said with difficulty, "No one can kill me except... myself..."
"Father--" Olever screamed.
