Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 33: Devil in my heart

Until later, the plague broke out and famine came.

It was a rainy night, and Thor woke up tormented by hunger, ready to drink some well water in the backyard to fill his hunger.

From a distance, Sol saw the sister-in-law Melissa guarding the door of the wood house with the oil lamp hanging, whispering to a mercenary-like person beside him, as if planning something.

After a while, the mercenary turned and walked into the wood shed.

Saul didn't know why Melissa, the villainous woman, appeared here late at night. Instead of rushing into the opponent's line of sight, he squatted and observed in a low-lying place far away that was not covered by light.

The rain that night was not heavy, but it was the biggest rain in Sol's life.

Through the patter of rain, Saul vaguely heard Precia's screaming scream from the woodshed, accompanied by the lewd laughter of several men.

In an instant, Thor knew what was happening. Apart from Melissa who was out of air, there were at least three or four mercenaries in the woodshed who had been rolling in the dark wilderness all the year round.

As for the reasons for attracting these mercenaries, Precia's beauty, popularity, or unruly attitude, Melissa must be filled with too many reasons in that vicious woman's mind.

Anger, panic, irritable, all kinds of emotions circling in his mind, Sol quickly stood up, wanting to do something.

But he suddenly realized sadly that all those who could run under the famine had already run away, and there were only a group of weak nuns and orphans left in the monastery. In such a situation where everyone was in danger, he could not call any helpers. .

In the end Saul rushed out alone, ready to use his life to defend something, but after a few steps, he stopped forcibly.

This was the first time in his life that he was fearless of life and death, but he realized that he could not die here yet.

Who can I beat?

After all, it was just a meaningless sacrifice.

It is a pity that I was too weak when I was in my early ten years. At this age of powerlessness, behind all the imaginary strength, there is only the fragile and cruel reality.

He smiled sadly and went back to the low-lying place to get down.

"I will live, I must be patient, and wait for the opportunity. They will all die, and none of them will escape. I will..." With blood red eyes, Thor silently repeated these words in his heart like a madman, bleeding fingers deeply. Cut into the ground.

He did not choose to leave, but forced himself to see this scene in his eyes, listen to it in his ears, engraved in blood.

From beginning to end, he just lay motionless in the cold rain, as quiet as a corpse.

——————

The narration finally stopped here.

Shuggs finally understood why Thor had been giving him the illusion that he had a devil in his heart from the time he knew each other, and he finally understood the purpose of Thor's crazy training that is almost self-torture.

Although he hadn't witnessed that scene with his own eyes, Shuggs could roughly understand Saul's mood and choices at the time.

This choice is very difficult. When a person no longer fears death, in fact, you are already close to invincibility.

But you can't go desperately, kill, and destroy. You can only swallow sadness and anger with tears, and then endure the torment in your heart, silently waiting for an opportunity that you may not have in the future.

What kind of mood was he lying there at the time? Shuggs thought sadly.

The air at the bottom of the well was so depressed that people could not breathe.

Shuggs subconsciously pulled at his shirt, but this did not make him much easier, but ignited an unidentified anger in his heart, giving him the urge to destroy or kill something.

It's too heavy, I have to say something.

"You and Precia..."

As soon as the words were spoken, Shuggs wanted to slap himself very much. He seemed to have chosen a **** topic while he was in a hurry. At this moment, he should say something else to divert Sol's attention.

As if shocked by the voice of Shuggs, Thor finally relaxed from the statue-like stiffness.

It has been more than a year now that he muster up the courage to return to the rainy night, and usually, he doesn't even dare to think about it carefully.

It turned out that I never came out of that night.

As the sadness spread unscrupulously on his face, Saul spoke slowly.

"There have never been unprovoked feelings in this world, sister? Opposite sex? Friends? Mentor? Actually, I can't tell what place she occupies in my heart."

"For a while, I also imagined that when I grew up, I would become her shield, stand in front of her, and be her shadow and follow behind her no matter what."

"But when the danger came, I was just a humble ant, trembling in the mud, and I could only watch this beauty buried in cruel and filth."

"Can you imagine? They insulted her, then stuffed her into the pot, and in the end I didn't even get her bones back."

"Heh~~, I guessed the beginning and the end, but I couldn't change the process. I hate that I didn't have the power in time."

"She is such a dazzling person, even if her gaze does not belong to you in the future, no matter when, no matter where you are, even if you are walking in the abyss or even endless despair, you just have to remember that she is still alive and living in Somewhere, this is already a warm and beautiful thing in itself."

"There is enough darkness in this world, why do you want to annihilate this last bit of beauty?"

"God is shit, and even his believers cannot shelter."

"This hatred will be carried on my back for the rest of my life until I no longer exist."

"I'm struggling to live to this day, not for **** justice. This is a **** memorial that I have waited for a long time. In my eyes, she is the last light in this dark world, even if the goddess is in the world."

"In the face of this cruelty, I can't scream, let alone howl. The only thing I can do is to pay blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

"Since God chooses to sit on the sidelines, I will harvest them."

Thor's voice became more and more intense, gradually becoming distorted and out of control. The anger that was suppressed to the extreme made his whole person tremble. It looked like an extremely unstable magic element, which could explode violently at any time.

The bitter hatred in his words, the unending violence, made Shuggs suddenly have the illusion that the cold winter has not gone far.

Moreover, Shuggs also keenly noticed that Sol mentioned ‘them’ in his words, which shows that there is a whole list of revenge in Sol’s heart, and Melissa is just the beginning.

Shuggs was silent.

At this point, it is true that only blood can be comforted.

After a period of silence, Saul finally calmed down and changed back to the person Shuggs knew.

"The past is a foregone conclusion, so now my path is not complicated. Either cherish the past in sorrow, or plan for the future in anger."

Shuggs tilted his head to stare at Saul, then let out a deep breath.

"Go ahead, what can I do for you?"

Saul turned his head and looked at Shuggs.

"Are you sure you want to stand by my side?"

Shuggs shrugged and joked.

"Try your best. Anyway, I'm just an orphan, an unspoken thief. Now that I know your plan, if I don't participate in it, who knows if you guy will formulate something disgusting to poison me. Dead mouth."

Shuggs’ answer made Saul both grateful and entangled. In fact, he really hopes to get the help of Shuggs. In addition to the personal abilities of Shuggs, the thieves’ guild behind him also has good contacts and sources of intelligence, but... ….

Revenge is a bitter road, and one person is enough.

"This is an extremely dangerous thing. I don't want to drag people down. I didn't plan to tell you if it wasn't for you to find out. But now that you know it seems good, so if I disappear one day, at least you know I will go. Where is it."

After listening to Saul's words, Shuggs suddenly jumped up violently, and tore at Saul's jacket and roared at him:

"He... don't want to drag others? Maybe in the eyes of everyone around us, we are just two **** who live together, but at least you have to know that I am your brother! Brother! Not some **** other person!"

In the darkness, Thor's fist suddenly clenched.

Brother, it's a warm word, enough to burn people's hearts.

People often talk about words like friends and brothers. These titles seem to be a social etiquette or a means to quickly draw closer to each other.

But when these words appear in another scene, they are so heavy.

This turbulent warmth made Saul very uncomfortable, so he could only quickly change the subject.

"Why would you want to be a thief?"

Although the time between the two of them is not short, this is the first time that Thor has asked Shuggs about his original intention.

Faced with this problem, Shuggs' expression appeared uncommonly calm, and his eyes seemed to look far away.

"Actually, everyone in this world is a thief. Some people have stolen the hearts of others, and some have stolen the lives of others.... And I just want to steal some money."

Seeing the sudden height of Shuggs, Saul sighed slightly.

"It's a pity. If you have watched Precia take a shower, you will surely pass out of happiness, and your life will reach new heights."

Thor's unprepared words instantly tore Shuggs' calmness.

"Uh……"

Shuggs knew that if he really dared to take a peek, Saul might have been quietly killed by Sol, but at this moment he still couldn't help but imagine it in his heart.

After a while, he raised his head in grief, as if missing something important in life.

The fierce look was like a vicious dog that broke free of the chains, ready to pounce on Sol at any time.
