Aubrey's body was quickly taken away, and like Earl Rolek, his heart had been dug out.

Naturally, all the activities of the Holy Dragon Festival were cancelled, and people were panicked. Many nobles had already sneaked away, fearing that the "heart-eating ghost and leopard" would find them.

The king of Blue Spring City originally compromised, and first took Abner out of the dungeon and put him under house arrest, but after the second heart-breaking incident happened, the people of Blue Spring City firmly refused to give Abner preferential treatment.

At this time, Abner was forced to kneel on the arena. He had a glorious day here, but now he was only accompanied by dust. The king and the remaining nobles sat on the high stands to judge him. Everyone was put under house arrest beforehand.

He was locked in the dungeon for two days. He didn't eat anything, only drank some water, but he didn't feel hungry, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was extremely heavy.

"Abner!" cried Antoine Sirieux, King of Blue Springs, "I pardoned your crimes in the name of the Blue King, but you intensified your crimes and instigated your companion, the ghost Leopard——hurt more people. I will take back my forgiveness, and you must give an explanation to the two deceased. But I am a merciful person after all, and I will exile you to Death Island, and the rest of life depends on you. What the king meant."

"I protest!" A young voice followed closely, it was Sean, he glanced at King Antoine, and said, "First of all, none of you can be sure that the ghost leopard ate people's hearts, and secondly, even the ghost leopard eats people's hearts. People’s hearts, why should the blame be placed on Abner’s head!”

At this time, Hall, the son next to Antoine, laughed harshly. He turned around and said to a servant behind him, "Come here, tell me what you have seen?"

The male servant glanced at Sean, and said without fear: "I went to fetch water in the woods this morning, and suddenly found blood in the water. I raised my head, and saw that the ghost leopard was tearing a bloody thing on the other side of the river. I was afraid Terrible, just about to run, the ghost leopard ran into the depths of the forest first, leaving some residue, I cautiously went to the other side, and saw that this thing was the residue of internal organs!"

After speaking, he took out a black cloth bag and handed it to Sean respectfully.

Shawn took it tremblingly, a strong smell of blood came over his face, he covered his mouth, threw the cloth bag aside, covered his stomach, and almost vomited.The King of Silver Bow City stopped Sean on the shoulder and patted him on the back.

"Your Highness Sean, do you believe it now?" Antoine sneered.

"What does that have to do with Abner!" Sean roared.

Antoine snorted coldly, "Is there any doubt? You should have also gone to Abner's Mockingbird show. What happened at the end of the show, do you want to turn a blind eye? In fact, not only did you turn a blind eye, You took the lead in applauding, didn't you?"

"Antoine!" The king of Silver Bow City interrupted Antoine.

Sean's face was pale.

But Antoine didn't stop there, he continued: "On the second night of the Holy Dragon Festival, Master Johnny screamed that he saw a ghost leopard, why was Abner just there at that time? Lord Rollecker is dead?"

"Jonny?" Sean frowned, and ordered the guards behind him to bring Jonny.

Jonny's little face was still bloodless, and it was covered with tears. When he saw Abner kneeling in the arena, he cried even harder, crying all the time: "Brother didn't kill...Brother didn't kill... "

Antoine leaned over and asked Jonny gently, "Did you see the ghost leopard on the second day of the Holy Dragon Festival?"

Jonny was stunned, "Ghost leopard? I don't know, I... I just saw something black with two yellow eyes."

An Tuowan patted his head and said, "That's Ghost Leopard."

Jonny nodded ignorantly, still crying.

Antoine asked again: "After seeing the ghost leopard, did you see your brother and the sword-clothed knight commander?"

Jonny hesitated, he glanced at Sean, and Sean shook his head lightly at him, so he replied: "No, I didn't see my brother, I only saw the sword-clothed knight commander."

Antoine patted Johnny on the shoulder and said, "It's not good to lie, Master Jonny, I know it would be a mistake to ask you to point it out. Of course, all the guards that night would not lie."

Jonny suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Antoine's arm and cried, "No, I really didn't see my brother, my brother was sleeping, my brother didn't kill anyone... woo woo woo..."

Antoine kept his mouth shut, patiently ordered Johnny to be taken away, and then said, "Come on, call those guards up."

"No need." A loud voice came from under the stands, and as the sound of steady footsteps got closer, Wen Si stood in front of the nobles.

He bowed to everyone and said: "I am the sword-clothed knight commander of Silver Bow City. Compared with those guards, I think my words are more convincing."

Hall sneered, and said, "Who doesn't know that Abner and you have a good relationship? To what extent? I think he didn't sleep that night, so why did he just stay with you?"

"Hall, shut up!" Antoine glared at the son.

Hall kept his mouth shut, turned his body and looked up at the sky.

Wins glanced at Hall, then glanced at the crowd, and said, "Master Abner and Ghost Leopard really have a good relationship, and I did see Ghost Leopard and Master together that night."

Everyone was shocked.

Sean clenched his fists and yelled at Wen Si: "You traitor!"

Wen Si glanced at Sean, and said lightly: "Your Highness, there are some things that cannot be kept secret."

Sean slumped down on the high chair, dazed.

Antoine asked Abner loudly: "Abner! We will give you one last chance. If you can help us catch the ghost leopard, we will give you a lighter sentence, but if you are not willing, then we can only Send you to Death Island."

Abner laughed, first it was a low muffled laugh, he lowered his head, his shoulders could not stop shaking, and then the laughter grew louder, he raised his head, grinned, and stared at the people in the high stands , with a hoarse voice: "It's too boring here, I just want to go to Death Island to relax!"

"Okay, then I will be the beauty of an adult! Without further ado, let this sword-clothed knight leader send you there now." Antoine smiled.

Hall tugged at his father and said, "Father, this sword-clothed knight commander has a very good relationship with Abner, so you are not afraid..."

Antoine sneered and said, "What am I afraid of? I'm afraid that there won't be a good show."

This is the king of Silverbow City standing up and blocking Antoine, "Don't go too far, you have to reunite this child with his family first."

"Ah...yes! Family! It's nature!"

"Abner! How many times have I told you! Stay away from that damned man!" Sean grabbed Abner who was dying on the ground, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

"Your Highness...don't do this..." Alvin stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed away by Sean.

"Sean," Abner said slowly, "I'm sorry, but I can't do it."

Sean gritted his teeth, pushed Abner to the ground, grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands, stared at him closely, and said, "Can't you see what happened in the past? We can try !Maybe... I can recall what happened during that time."

Abner was silent, his eyes drooping slightly.

"Speak up! What do you need me to do, speak up!"

"I've tried many times," Abner said in a low voice, turning his face away, "I can't get into the mother's womb at all."

Sean was not discouraged, grabbed Abner's hand, put it on his forehead, and hurriedly said, "Try me again, close your eyes."

Abner glanced at him, closed his eyes, and held his breath. After a long time, there was no reaction. Just when he was about to open his eyes, he suddenly felt his body float, which was exactly the feeling before entering the mother's womb. , He was startled, and quickly closed his eyes, waiting for the sound of gurgling blood, but he waited for a long time, but there was no sound, instead it gradually became hotter. When he opened his eyes, he saw a horn-shaped flame attacking him.He clenched his fists nervously, seeing the "horns" piercing his heart, a piercing pain woke him up in convulsions.

Abner clutched his heart, panting violently, a layer of sweat broke out on his body, and cold sweat rolled down from his forehead.

"Abner!" Sean grabbed his shoulders tightly, seeing that his face was pale.

"...Sean, I can't do it..." Abner trembled all over.

Sean's heart turned cold, seeing Abner kneeling in front of him, losing all the halo and glory, a burst of anger rushed up, grabbed his shoulders, shook violently, and shouted: "Why do you insist on protecting him! You Isn't it quite capable? How did it end up like this!"

Abner trembled, frowned, gathered the remaining strength, grabbed Sean's neck, kicked his legs, and locked Sean on the ground, making Sean unable to move.

Several guards rushed in hastily, pointed their spears at Abner, and exclaimed, "Your Highness!"

Xiao En glared at the guards and roared angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!"

The guard hesitantly put away his gun and stood aside.

Abner's chest was rising and falling, and he said loudly, "I've had enough, I've had enough! I'm suffocating here! I've had enough!"

Sean's face gradually became calm, "Abner...I want you to be my Wang Fu..."

Abner suddenly saw that Sean's eyes were filled with tears.

"Sorry, Sean, I... can't."

"Sean... I can't..."

"Sean..."

Abner's voice was almost pleading.

Sean's eyes dimmed slowly, he slowly opened his hand, it was a robin bird whistle, "Abner, you keep this."

Abner took the bird whistle and looked at Sean quietly.

Sean said: "Abner, the robin is a divine bird, it will never die, I will wait for you to come back and be my Wang Fu."

Abner didn't speak.

Abner was lying on his side on the ground, his eyes were blindfolded, his eyes were dark, his hands and feet had been bound for a long time, and there were bloodstains on his wrists and ankles.

He was only wearing a worn shirt, and when he heard the sound of the tide, he knew that he had arrived at the border of Silver Bow City. Although he couldn't hear any voices, he could feel that there were people all around him, as if he was surrounded by everyone. little bird.It seemed that soon he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then he was hugged into an embrace, with a hoarse voice, "Master...Master..."

Abner asked tentatively, "Alvin?"

"Yes, master..." Alvin stroked Abner's face and said, "Master, let me see you again, let me see you..."

Abner choked up, "I'm sorry, Alvin, I've been trying to keep you from worrying, but in the end I didn't."

"Nonsense! The young master is the best I've ever seen!" Alvin seemed to be trying hard not to shed tears, his voice trembling, and then Abner smelled a fragrance, and then touched something soft at the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth , is spinach bread.

"Master, I brought you spinach bread. Let's eat it on the way...on the island." Then Abner felt the paper bag with his hands tied behind his back, and he grabbed it tightly.

"Thank you." Abner's tears slowly soaked the black cloth

"Ai Wen." Father's voice came.

Abner raised his head and called, "Father."

"Brother..." was Johnny's voice.

"Johnny."

Father hugged Abner, stroked his hair, and then whispered in his ear: "I have already discussed it with the sword-clad knight commander, don't be afraid, Ai Wen."

Abner shuddered and nodded.

When the solemn horn sounded, Abner was sent aboard.

The sea water slowly sent the heavy ship far away, and suddenly a heart-piercing cry came from the shore: "Abner——"

It was Sean's voice, and Abner trembled. Although he couldn't see it, he followed the direction of the voice and raised his head.

"Abner—you said—you can swim back to serve me in 'Death Island' if I give you an order—I remember this—I'll wait for your return—"

Death God Island is on the breathless sea far away from the border of Silver Bow City. Since the "Four Kings" have warned people from the four countries not to enter, it is said that there is a cruel monster locked there, so it is a forbidden place for fishermen, and they should avoid it if they are far away. drive away.It is said that some daring fishermen insisted on breaking in, believing that it was just a cover to hide valuables.They rushed there overnight for the purpose of treasure hunting, but no one has come back so far.

Wen Si walked back and forth on the boat, watching the figures on the shore getting farther and farther away, he was a little anxious.There were thirty guards on board, half from Silver Bow City and half from Blue Spring City.Originally, Wens could really bring Abner on board with only his own men, but the people in Blue Spring City didn't trust him after all, and changed half of the guards.

"My lord, how long will it take to arrive?" A guard in Blue Spring City asked.

Wen Si glanced at him and said, "How do I know? I haven't been there yet. I want to get there soon. The damn sea breeze makes me uncomfortable."

The guard bowed his head and walked away.

"I heard that the sword-clothed knight commander is not feeling well?"

Wen Si turned around, and it was the Knight Commander Gu Feng of Blue Spring City. Wen Si twitched the corners of his mouth, "Yes, do you know how long it will take to arrive?"

Knight Commander Gu Feng smiled and said, "I want to know, but I still sent someone to ask you? What's wrong? You look unhappy? Is there a girl still waiting for you under the covers, or...is it uncomfortable to be on the same boat with old friends? "

"Ah Choo!" Wen Si rubbed his nose, wrapped the cloak, turned and went to the cabin, "It's too cold to stand in the wind, I'll go inside and stay."

Suddenly Wens turned around and said to the servant next to him, "Burn me some wine."

"The knight commander in sword clothes is so delicate." The knight commander Gu Feng smiled.

Wen Si sneezed again, ignored him, and sat in the cabin. Not long after, Knight Commander Gu Feng was also attracted by the aroma of the wine. The two drank the wine and looked at the scenery outside the cabin.

Gradually, Knight Commander Gu Feng began to chat with Wen Si: "This young master looks good, why did he go to play with the beast?"

Vince smacked his lips and said, "I don't know, and I don't know where I got into this crooked way."

"Don't you know him very well?"

"Familiar? Huh," Wen Si said, taking another sip of his wine, "yes, if you also have a beautiful girl, you can also be familiar with him."

Knight Commander Gu Feng was stunned, "Is he such a jerk?"

"This is not a bastard, oh, forget it, we played really well. I made a mistake, and it is also a little bit of personal enmity."

Knight Commander Gu Feng slammed his wine glass, "You're such a villain! Brother's women are all snatched!"

Seeing that Wen Si was still drinking, he sat next to him, patted his back, and said, "This bastard deserves it!"

Suddenly the ship shook violently, and the wine glasses and jars fell to the ground.The two hurriedly drew their swords and stood up, but the hull was still shaking. They each leaned on the wall and rushed out, asking: "What's going on!"

"Captain... the bottom of the boat was hit by something, and there was a big hole!" A guard hurriedly said.

"What are you doing in a daze! Bail out the water quickly!" Wens roared angrily.
