Hades

Chris wasn't called Chris at first, he wasn't called Chris Riggin, he wasn't called Chris Lestrange.As for what his name was, he couldn't remember.When stepping on Gadlin's boat, Gadlin asked him to give himself a name, but Chris refused without thinking.Because with the name, there is emotion.

"Then I'll call you to feed me?"

"It's fine." White Mist said.At that time, Chris had no appearance, nothing.It's just such a white mass that you don't need to eat or drink, or even sleep.There are quite a lot of people on board, there are burly sailors, there are women with big breasts and big buttocks, and there is a child.

"A pair of kings! Do you want it?"

"That's right! Put down the cards!" Gadrin said with a laugh.

"Yes 2." The child said quietly, and Gadrin, who was collecting gold, immediately turned his face. "Did you fucking cheat?"

"Boring." The child said coldly, and directly threw the cards aside, calmly trying to put away the gold on the table, but another voice said.

"Yes, my king. Hehe Chihuang, I'm sorry I won again~" It was a burly man, a sailor, who spoke.Chihuang's face turned dark, so he could only take out the gold that was in his pocket.Gadrin laughed and said, "As expected of my subordinate, Alan, I will promote you to be my first mate!" The first mate is the highest authority on the ship besides the captain.It's a pity that Alan didn't appreciate it, "Brother, can you take out the gold first and then talk about the first mate? Besides, didn't you lose to Robert just now, first mate?"

Robert, who was sitting on the side, took a puff of his pipe and said melancholy, "Not only did I lose the position of first mate, but I also lost the position of captain. Oh, let me tell you, never play cards with outsiders in the future, you will lose They don't even have underwear."

"Fart, I'm so powerful! How can I wear no underwear!" Gadlin said without burden.Bai Tuanzi looked at the bustle here, and he felt that he was drunk to see such a pawn.

"Hey, are you coming to play cards? The Scarlet Emperor doesn't play anymore!" said the leader, Bai Tuanzi glanced at the cold child, and then provoked, "What? Can't afford to lose? A child is a child." He said just now After finishing, he felt a cold gaze sweeping over his body, and Bai Tuanzi saw the child's cold gaze, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"What did you say?" the child asked.The captain smiled, and stretched out his hand to ruffle the child's white hair. The child wanted to avoid it, but Gadrin's strength was too great for the child to avoid it at all.

"Hey, don't mess with our Scarlet Emperor, she is still young!"

"...be careful what you say." The Scarlet Emperor's knife was staring at Gadlin's stomach, but Gadlin didn't care about it at all, and waved his big hand on the child's back, "Okay, little girl, don't move around How to say this guy is also one of us above."

"Brother! When are we going to land? There's not much milk left!" The curly woman came out of the cabin. Her name was Catherine, and Bai Tuanzi knew it.

Gadlin set up the pergola and looked into the distance, then took out the compass from his pocket and took a look, "There are still more than ten days, but it is probably an uninhabited island, let's turn around and save money." Meet the warship."

"Understood, sir!" said Robert, smoking his pipe, who seemed to be at the helm.

"Savic." Gadlin didn't know when he walked over to Bai Tuanzi and said a name, but Bai Tuanzi didn't react, and looked Gadlin squarely with his body, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Gadlin said, and then he seemed to say to Bai Tuanzi, but also to himself, "So I don't remember." Stay on the boat or go down to the island to see?"

"Depends on your mood." After Bai Tuanzi finished speaking, he started joking again, "Are you trying to drive me out so soon?"

"Hmph, brat, you're not qualified to play tricks in front of me."

"Cut, isn't he the overlord of the Eight Parts and Thirteen States?" Bai Tuanzi said disdainfully, but with just such a sentence, the white chain that could bind Bai Tuanzi shot out of Gadrin's hand, tightly Wrapped around Bai Tuanzi, although he had a smile on his face, there was a bit of coldness in his words.

"Boy, don't let me hear you talking about Eight Parts and Thirteen States in this tone."

Bai Tuanzi was uncomfortable being restrained by Gadrin, but at this moment his stubborn temper came up, and he retorted back in a particularly unfriendly tone.

"You are only about 30 years old, what right do you have to call me a kid?"

"Hmph." Gadrin hummed a few words, removed the restraints on his hands, and glanced at Bai Tuanzi, "Let me tell you a legend."

"Come on, let's tell the bedtime story to the Chihuang." Bai Tuanzi was about to float away after finishing speaking, but this time he failed to float away, and the whole dumpling hit the cage made of bone chains.

"You have to listen if you listen, and you have to listen if you don't listen."

Bai Tuanzi tried to let himself slip through the gap, he tried to bump into it, but except for a little mist, he couldn't escape the cage at all.Gadlin watched him fight there, and it was Bai Tuanzi who gave up in the end.

"Let me tell you first, I won't listen to the beginning of the story that started a long time ago."

"Hehe, the story begins with the heroes of the eight thirteen states." Gadlin said.The man was sitting on the barrel on one side, and just as he was about to open his mouth, there was a particularly loud shout from the mast.

"Hey everyone! Big brother is starting to fool people again! Come and watch!!!" It was Catherine who yelled, and Bai Tuanzi rolled around in the cage laughing at Gadlin's expression.

"Fuck Catherine, you're going to die!"

"Once upon a time..."

Allen shouted loudly, and the Scarlet Emperor answered, "Thereisaman..."

"Bedie!"

This time it was the shout of the entire crew.

The story couldn't go on anymore, Gadrin let go of the cage, he couldn't afford to mess with his subordinates.But he still said, "Babu Shisanzhou was not the hometown of heroes before, but there is a person who made this place a hometown of heroes. Hey, you better never let me hear you describe Babu in this tone again. Thirteen prefectures." The man said, and then gave Bai Tuanzi a terrifying look.

"Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will make you regret appearing in this world."

The untold stories were told by Chihuang.That day, the Red Emperor kept vigil, sitting on a high mast, holding a cup of tea, and told an extremely simple but unforgettable story.

"The eight thirteen states used to be torn apart, and each was king. The wars between the various states continued for years, and the overlord wanted to help each other, but he couldn't impress the various tribes that put interests first. Then a person appeared and gathered all the power of the eight and thirteen states. He searched one by one, state by state, and said that he could make the soul and corpse, which are natural enemies, join hands to fight against the enemy, and he could also make the beast and demon, which have been fighting all the year round, coexist peacefully. He said that this world There are not many heroes in the world who can save one, and there are not many heroes in this world. If one dies, one less. He can't let the story of the leader continue, so he can only make the eight and thirteen states become heroes. home."

"Are you a hero?" Bai Tuanzi asked Chihuang.Chihuang took a sip of tea and said, "I am not, so I will not join."

"Gadrin means to let you join."

"Maybe one day, but not now." Chi Huang said, took another look and said, "If you don't know why you are alive, then you can become a subordinate of this seat. If you really can achieve your wish one day, this seat I will definitely kill you with my own hands."

"No, why should I work for a middle school kid?"

"..." Chi Huang was silent, touched the knife, "Bump!" Bai Tuanzi hit the ground hard.But for Bai Tuanzi, it really didn't hurt at all.

……

Gadlin guessed right again, this is an uninhabited island.There are no traces of human existence on the island, but there are traces of human existence.The white ball fluttered around, and when he wanted to go deeper, Gadrin's chain stopped him.

"Hi, are you ok?"

"what?"

"...No." Gadrin said, and then he put his hand on the shoulder of Catherine who followed him down, and sighed.Bai Tuanzi ignored him and drifted forward on his own.

Catherine glanced at her frowning eldest brother, spread her hands innocently and said, "Brother, I think you are full and have nothing to do, why do you always pick things up and go home."

Gadrin tilted his head to look at her, and then kicked Catherine's ass directly with his foot.

"I picked you up too." He finished speaking, and then said to himself, "Hey, my problem of picking things up randomly is really hopeless."

Bai Tuanzi felt that this place looked familiar, and he drifted further and further in. Later, he stopped in front of a giant tree, and seemed to be muttering to himself.

"It was a small branch last time, why did it grow so tall in the blink of an eye?"

The Scarlet Emperor looked over there curiously, and the words that rang in his ears came out, and it was Gadlin who said it.

"We've arrived at that kid's hometown." Chihuang had disbelief written on his face, even if she didn't believe it, she didn't say anything, turned her head and walked deeper.There was something under her feet, and she lowered her head with her bare feet, and kicked away a piece of broken wood, revealing white bones.

"Look, Scarlet Emperor, it's a very happy thing to be able to remember, he doesn't even know who he is." Catherine said with a smile, but most of the smiles were a little helpless, and there was some sadness revealed.Chihuang looked at this often crazy woman, and said something like that, it was not a good thing, it was a word that poked people's scars.

"What's the use of remembering, don't you remember that you are still alive?" Chihuang left after finishing speaking, her feet were dirty, she had to find a place with a water source to wash her feet. The sound of wailing made Chihuang look sideways, but it was just a sideways look, and then she strode forward.Gadrin sighed, and the whistle he was playing in his hand hit the Scarlet Emperor in the face.

"You son of a bitch, you have to make people cry to be happy!"

"She recruited me first." Chihuang said, striding to go deeper.Gadrin looked at her and sighed, shouting so loudly that everyone could hear him.

"Let's rest on the island for a few days, follow me tomorrow to see if there is any treasure!"

"Yo!"

That night's vigil was Gadrin.The Scarlet Emperor came out of the tent and walked to the bonfire, where Gadlin was warming up and drinking.Sitting down quietly, Chihuang asked directly, "Why did you bring him up?"

"Why did I bring you up here?" Gadrin replied as he was warming the fire. The Scarlet Emperor looked at the fire for a long time, and then said, "I won't join the Eight Parts and Thirteen States, give up." She said After finishing, he walked into the tent, did not take two steps, and then added, "I will not be a hero."

"Chihuang, not everyone can afford the word hero."

The footsteps stopped, and the words Chi Huang replied to him were specifically aimed at poking the lungs.She poked Catherine's heart during the day, and now she poked Gadlin's lung tube again.

"Nor are you. If you were a hero, you would let me go."

"Hmph, only a fool will let you go and let me mess around!"

Gadlin said that the Chihuang had entered the tent, and Bai Tuanzi had floated back from nowhere.In fact, Bai Tuanzi had disappeared for a day. Gadlin thought that he would not come back until they left, but he didn't expect Bai Tuanzi to come back at this moment.

"What is the identity of that kid?" Bai Tuanzi said, Gadlin didn't expect him to ask this, but he said, "An unlucky child, although not as unlucky as you, is quite unlucky." .”

"Looking at you, you have a gloomy face. Why are you surrounded by sad ghosts?"

"Hehe, you even scolded yourself?"

"I think I'm unlucky, you seem to know who I am." Bai Tuanzi said a little confused, Gadlin smiled, and raised the whiskey in his hand to Bai Tuanzi.

"This is a toast to you, you will listen to me when you get on my boat, you know?"

"I'm not your subordinate."

"Hehe." Gadlin said, and after taking a big gulp of wine, he fell down on the ground covered with soft leather. He closed his eyes, put on his hat and said, "Since you're back, please watch me, Let me take a nap first."

"I'm not your crew member." Bai Tuanzi said, but Gadlin didn't say anything more.The night was a bit cold, and the white dumpling fluttered towards the fire, but it passed through immediately, and then he remembered that he couldn't feel the warmth and coldness.

The next day, Gadlin left alone to watch the boat, and with a group of men, he went to the island to look for treasures. After wandering around for a long time, what he harvested was a pile of quite ancient gold.This is not considered ill-gotten gains, Gadlin unceremoniously asked his men to load the ship.Catherine looked at Gadlin's ruthlessness, her heart skipped a beat, and she whispered to Gadlin.

"Brother, if you take gold from someone's house in front of people, does that count as robbery?"

Gadrin waved his hand, grinning and showing his big yellow teeth, "If you grab it, you will grab it, what can you do?" He said and glanced at Bai Tuanzi again, "Look at that one, remember?"

A white dumpling is just a bunch of white dumpling, Catherine really couldn't see the expression on that one.

The buildings on the island are considered to be ancient, but after so long, they have long been corroded by oxygen.The appearance of broken walls and ruins, it is only vaguely known that there have been buildings here.Bai Tuanzi watched the crew digging deeper, and abruptly spoke in a slightly displeased tone.

"Don't go." He didn't care about the gold outside, but for some reason he didn't want Gadrin and the others to go to the only place that could barely be called a house.

"Huh?" Catherine asked a question, and Bai Tuanzi stared, but no one could see it, "I told you not to go, there is no gold in it." Bai Tuanzi repeated.Gadlin took a sip of whiskey and cracked a smile, "For me, the more people don't let me do something, the more I want to do it."

Bai Tuanzi was so angry that they dispersed, and then gathered together again.Gadlin ignored him and walked forward, still saying "Catherine, Scarlet Emperor, clear the way for me." He said so, both Scarlet Emperor and Catherine stood in front of Gadlin, Catherine Turning into the appearance of a half-beast, flames ignited on Chi Huang's body.

Bai Tuanzi was so angry that he slammed into Gadlin, but the final result was that he passed through Gadlin's body, and Gadlin was fine.

"If you're dead, don't blame me for not reminding you!" Bai Tuanzi said angrily, and then floated away far away.Catherine became cautious, glanced at Gadlin, and asked, "Brother?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I've been to Ghost Island, I'm still afraid of this crooked devil?"

As he said, the Scarlet Emperor took such a big step forward, and where she stepped, the ground turned into scorched earth.

It was only a few steps away to detour to the back of the dilapidated house. In fact, there was nothing there, it was nothing more than a mummy, and there were strange things on the ground that were almost weathered.And this mummy, and those things that look like sacrifices have not been weathered for so long, probably because the stone-like roof has not completely fallen down, but it is only a matter of time.

The mummy is ugly, but it is not difficult for people to distinguish the gold necklace and ring on the neck of the mummy, as well as the gold rings on the fingers. There is also a strange-looking thing in the arms of the mummy, and it is not clear what it is.

"What is this?" Catherine asked curiously. Just as she was about to take a step forward, Gadlin stopped her, not only stopped her, but also stopped Alan and the others who wanted to go forward to pick the gold.

"Don't go there."

The Chihuang listened, but didn't believe it. The knife in his hand raised and lowered the knife and cut it at the corner of the mummy, but surprisingly, the old tree that was broken was about a certain distance behind the mummy.

"Hey, Scarlet Emperor, you never listen to what I say."

"What is this?" Chi Huang asked.

Gadlin pursed his lips and said to the ground, "See? Blood sacrifice." The bright red blood was like new.And this is clearly an uninhabited island.

"The big tribe is composed of countless small tribes. You should have heard of the sacrificial rituals of people in the past, such as cannibalism." Gadlin said, Catherine widened her eyes and looked at the mummy on the side.

"He was eaten?"

"It's just an analogy, but it's more tragic than being eaten," Gadlin said.

"There is a way of sacrificial sacrifice that has been lost. Even I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it." Gadlin added, "It is said that sacrificing the soul of a sage can save the people affected by the disaster from the catastrophe. It seems that I also know that this is a sage. The price is that the soul of the sage will not be able to find peace forever."

"...This is too barbaric." Catherine said that, none of the priests in their animal department were so barbaric.

"Human beings are like this." Gadlin said, then turned his head to look at the Scarlet Emperor and asked, "Red Emperor, can you try to destroy it, since I'm here, I can't let these things fall into the hands of archaeologists. "

The red flames floated out from the hands of the Red Emperor, but those things couldn't get close to the mummy.Gadrin pointed to the circle of blood on the ground and said, "Burn this."

It works, but surprisingly slowly.

Gadrin said with a particularly disgusted tone, "I said, Chihuang, what are you doing? Low temperature wax?"

Catherine "..."

Scarlet Emperor "...shut up. This force is strong."

Just saying that, the light blue flame slowly appeared in the crimson. Although it accelerated a little, it was not fast.Gadrin shrugged, turned his head and left, "You go back to the camp after the burning. Let's go back first."

Scarlet Emperor "..."

……

"Gadlin, did you plan this out? Use this to bribe me?" Bai Tuanzi floated back at night.Gadrin rolled over, and his closed eyes opened and closed again.

"I've heard of it more or less, since I met it, it's a matter of convenience."

"It's useless. I won't join the Thirteen States in Eight Parts."

"Hmph, it's not that you don't know how troublesome your body will be if it falls into the hands of others. There are only a few people in this world who can decipher that living sacrifice. If those archaeologists catch eight parts and ten People from Sanzhou, what face do you think I have to meet the dead ancestors?"

"Don't try to please me, it's useless."

"To please you? Remember your own name before you say it."

"you!"

"Also, the Chihuang did it, don't look for me."

"You try your best to help her, what is your purpose?"

"I'm not you. People are mortal. The potential of the Scarlet Emperor is greater than you imagine."

"Hmph, then you have to correct the problem child's secondary illness first."

"Boom!" The pillow hit the tent through Bai Tuanzi's body, and Bai Tuanzi immediately floated away happily, still humming an unknown tune.Gadrin hooked the corners of his lips, did he have a second-degree illness?Haven't I already cured you?Everyone has a second in middle school, just like when he, Gadlin, also had a second in middle school. He remembered the big brother back then. At that time, Gadlin was still a bastard, yelling nonsense words that would destroy the world all day long , the big brother said, some people are worth saving, so try your best to save some people, and some people are not worth saving, then don't waste your energy.Whether it's Baituanzi, Scarlet Emperor, Catherine, or something else, Gadlin admits that they are worth saving...
