Adrian's business was doing well and it sold out quickly.He went to exchange all the copper coins, and put the clattering gold and silver coins into his pocket. Abner estimated that there were at least 50 gold coins.

Adrien got on the horse, and Abner followed closely. He remembered what was said on the paper, maybe Adrien was going to redeem the man named Okadon.

Adrian arrived near the White Gull Tower alone, tied up his horse, and hurried to the seaside.A fishing boat was parked by the sea, and he jumped on it, calling out, "Hey—anyone punting?"

"coming--"

Adrian looked towards the responding voice, and saw that it was Xilu who came, and he waved at Xilu: "Hey! What a coincidence!"

Xilu's face turned pale instantly, and his footsteps froze.

"Hey! Hiru, I'm in a hurry! Come here!" Adrian continued to wave.

Xilu walked over hesitantly, with a stiff face, "Where do you want to go?"

"Send me to Tongzhou Mountain, you see, just walk along the edge of the Cloud and Blood Desolation, it will save a lot of time." Adrian has already helped Xilu untie the anchor.

Hiru took the oar hesitantly, stood at the bow, and saw Adrian looking at the white sea with warm eyes.He dropped the oar suddenly, and hurriedly said: "I, I, I can't hold on anymore."

Adrian begged: "My lords, I must go."

Hiru's eyes avoided Adrian's gaze, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the guards in front of the White Gull Tower, lowered his head, and said solemnly: "Okay, okay."

Abner floated above the two of them, watching all this, and felt that Shiru was not normal, but Adrien seemed to not care about it because of emotional problems.

The boat slowly moved away from the coast, Adrian watched the Cloud Blood Desolation getting closer, and Hiru sneaked a glance at him from time to time.

"You, you go to Tong, Tong Zhoushan, do, what to do?" Xilu asked.

"There...it's actually my hometown." Adrian looked down at the water.

Hiru's hand froze.

"Haha, didn't you expect it? Although I hate that place, it is indeed the place where I was born, and I still don't know who my mother is," Adrian continued, leaning out and putting his hand into the water, "I also picked up Ocadon there."

"He, he is not a, a, thing, we all, call him, he... 'Blood Monkey'." Shilu added.

The blood monkey was originally called Okaton!

Abner shuddered, he would never forget the sight of the blood monkey, just one glance, the scrawny body, thick hair, and black eyes almost covering the entire white of the eyes.Abner was only 6 years old at the time. He heard that Blood Monkey was a scary-looking person, but his superb medical skills made many doctors secretly admire him. However, it is said that he likes to dissect living people. arouse his interest.

The adults in Silverbow City like to scare children with blood monkeys.

"If you continue to be disobedient, the blood monkey will come and eat you!" This kind of scaring has been tried repeatedly.

Abner was also frightened similarly, but he didn't care, he climbed the tree and went down the river, until he happened to have a chance to catch a glimpse of the blood monkey in the dungeon. .Seeing that Abner's expression was not right, his father quickly hugged him and left.

What is the relationship between this Adrian and the blood monkey?Why is he still protecting the blood monkey?Abner couldn't figure it out.

Adrian's eyes sank, and he said, "He shouldn't be such a person."

The two fell into a moment of silence, and Abner saw that the Cloud and Blood Desolation was getting closer, and Adrien was still lying on the side of the boat, paddling the water.Hiru gripped the oar restlessly, staring closely at Adrian.

"How is Abel's illness?" Adrian asked suddenly.

Shiru bit his lip and didn't answer.

"Ah? Haven't you taken him to the doctor yet?" Adrian was about to turn his head.

Hiru had already picked up the iron rod, and Abner exclaimed "Damn it", and aimed at the back of Adrian's head, and gave him a hard blow.

Adrian groaned and fell on the boat. Xilu put down the stick, dragged it tremblingly over Adrian's body, and kept apologizing: "Yes, I'm sorry...Yes, I'm sorry..."

Abner stared at Xilu, he thought he was a very kind and responsible person, but he didn't expect him to attack a person who helped him!

Xilu rowed the boat back, and dozens of guards came out from the White Gull Tower and gathered towards the shore.Shiru reached the shore, and just as the boat was fastened, the two guards had Adrian on his shoulders.

Xilu grabbed the arm of one of the guards and hurriedly asked, "Money, where is the money?"

The guard shook off his hand and signaled to a person next to him, who threw a black cloth bag over. Xilu quickly opened the cloth bag and hurriedly picked up a handful of money, which rattled, and then picked up a gold coin and put it into his mouth Bite in and look at it repeatedly before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Abner clenched his fists.

The guard glanced at him, and snorted softly, "Look carefully at you, my lords, do you still dare to doubt what the Duchess said? That's fine, you can get out now."

Duchess?Abner frowned, which Duchess?

"He is so light, why do we need so many of us to carry it?" a guard said.

"Be careful, he is very cunning. I heard that the Duchess sent people to follow him several times but failed."

"Hey, he has his eyes closed, I'm afraid he won't make it?"

Holding the money, Xilu hesitated. He called out from a distance: "You, you... want, want to be, to him, how, how?"

The guard glanced back at him, but without answering him, turned his head and continued walking.

Abner followed the guards closely, and the guards carried Adrian into the White Gull Tower and went straight upstairs. Abner looked around at the dilapidated stairs, which turned out to be so dilapidated three years ago.They carried Adrian to the top of the tower, and when they stepped on the last flight of stairs, Abner saw Sean's father, Duke Rota Margeri, and Nero's wife, Duke Cana Margeri. lady.

They stared closely at Adrian who was being carried in. Karna snorted softly and kicked Adrian hard in the face.Rota frowned, grabbed Karna, and said, "Enough."

Karna shook off Rota's hand and ordered the guards to tie up Adrian.

Rota was walking around uneasily, and saw that Karna slapped Adrian again, and the crisp sound echoed on the top of the empty tower. Adrian's face was red and swollen, and nosebleeds poured straight to his neck.

Finally he said impatiently: "If you want to do it, hurry up, don't dawdle here."

Do it?What are they going to do to Adrian?Abner sensed something was wrong.

Kana glanced at Rota, put her hands around his neck, he was stunned, and pushed Kana away, Kana snorted coldly and said: "You are boring, if you are in a hurry, go first, he My old friend is still coming to greet him, I don't want him to die so soon."

Rota glared at her, "You'd better not do anything that insults the kings."

"I humiliate the kings? I won't be humiliated if I compete with a biao for a man?" Kana said loudly.

Rota kicked the door open and walked out, "You can do it yourself."

After Rota left, Karna's behavior became more violent. Adrian's arms and legs were tied tightly, and his whole body was in the shape of a cross.

"Hmm—" Adrian finally woke up, and just as he opened his eyes, he was slapped hard by Karna, and his face was thrown aside.

"Ahem..." Adrian coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood, then raised his head and stared at Karna fiercely.

Kana was startled by this look, then raised her chin and said contemptuously, "How does it taste?"

Adrian snorted softly, "It's not that good."

Kana pinched his chin, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"No." Adrian replied coldly.

"No?" Kara raised her voice.

Abner sweated.

"Very well, I will let you have something to say," Kana nodded to the guards behind her, and after the guards retreated, she continued, "Do you think that piece of paper is just a cover? No, I will put your last The person you want to see is brought."

Adrian raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of suspicion.

Kana smiled, "Let me tell you again, that note was his idea. It seems that his hatred for you is no less than mine."

"Impossible!" Adrian roared.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A burst of sharp laughter interrupted Adrian's roar. He looked at the person standing at the door in surprise, and the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat. Finally, he said slowly: "Ocadon..."

Abner shook heavily, and the horrifying glimpse of his childhood appeared in his mind again. Although the blood monkey at this time did not have the horror in his impression, his body was still short, a head and a half shorter than Abner. , but the thick hair still extends from the neck and connects with the hair. There is no hair in the center of the face, it is smooth, without a trace of wrinkles, and the skin is as delicate as a newborn baby. uncomfortable.

The black pupils are too big, and the whites of the eyes are black, even if you turn your eyes, others can't see it.But what made Abner's scalp tingle the most was the blood monkey's laughter, which was as sharp as a woman's, but it could be heard as a man, like laughter and crying.

"Ah... my dear Adrian... I heard that you miss me very much." The blood monkey walked towards him step by step, his steps were stiff, but every step made the ground tremble slightly, and the blood monkey licked its blood-red lips.

"Okaton... your teeth?" Adrian asked in surprise, staring at the blood monkey's teeth.

It was only then that Abner noticed that the blood monkey's teeth were very neat, but grayish white.

"Ah... this one?" Blood Monkey put his hand into his mouth, broke off one with force, weighed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Isn't this tooth pretty? I made it myself, sorry, ah Dereen, my teeth won't make you any more money."

What tooth?Abner frowned.

Adrian said quickly: "No, Ocadon, I admit that what I did was too much, but we have to fill our stomachs first..."

"Look, my dear Adrian has expressed his apology to me, and sure enough, even a pig knows how to be afraid when it is about to die."

"What did you say?" Adrian said with a sullen face, "Ocadon, what are you doing?"

"No, no, don't be nervous, Adrian," the blood monkey raised the leather-wrapped box in his hand, "We still have time to talk about the past, and when we will talk about it depends on Lord Nero's wishes."

"What?" Adrian's hand trembled, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

Abner also trembled, what exactly does "Master Nero's meaning" refer to?Had Adrian been caught for his share?no, I can not.

The blood monkey opened the box unsteadily, and there were neat rows of delicate tools inside. Although most of them were for medical use, Abner still had a chill on his back.

"It seems that you really like the teeth I made. As a gift, I'll give you another set."

The blood monkey grinned, holding pliers, a knife, awl and a hammer in his hand.
