Chapter 818.2: World Center and Battlefield
Su Xiao closed the skill list and looked at Carlos. The effects of the unstable potion were gradually fading, and at the moment, he had no idea what side effects would remain in Carlos ' body after applying this powerful potion.
— I don't think I'm dead, " Carlos said, lying in Anna's arms. Anna was holding Carlos's hand tightly and was clearly very worried.
— Congratulations, Commander Carlos, " Nicholas said, walking quickly to the couch.
His life was saved.
— Give me my sword, " Carlos said, and looked down at his sword, which was stuck in the floor.
Right now, black smoke was emanating from his sword.
Nicholas quickly went to it and tried to pull it out of the floor, but despite all his efforts, the sword stuck firmly in the floor and wouldn't budge an inch.
In the end, Carlos motioned for Anna to help him.
Anna slowly walked over to the sword, reached out and took hold of its hilt, but her expression immediately changed. — No, I can't get him out.
Although Anna wasn't the "power" type, she wasn't weak.
Seeing this, Carlos stood up with some difficulty and walked over to the sword, then took hold of its hilt.
*A clang*
Carlos pulled out the longsword without much trouble, and the sword blade made a very clear sound as it did so.
— This... Carlos quickly sensed the demonic energy that was contained in the sword. — So you sealed that energy in him. Thank you for your hard work, Commander Byakuya.
Su Xiao didn't know how many positions he had been promoted to in just an instant, but that wasn't what he was worried about right now.
He sat down on the floor and stared at nothing.
— Khe-khe-khe...
Su Xiao suddenly coughed violently and there was a bit of blood in the saliva that flew out of his mouth.
Seeing this, Carlos and Anna quickly approached him. Nicholas was dumbfounded for a moment, then thought of something and gave him a surreptitious thumbs-up.
— Byakuya, how are you? You didn't suffer much from this energy?
Carlos wanted to help Su Xiao up, but Su Xiao waved him away with his hand.
— It's all right, simple... Khe-khe-khe.
Su Xiao coughed up some more saliva with blood, and now he looked like he could recline at any moment.
Both Carlos and Anna knew how powerful this energy was, so after seeing his current state, Anna was very confused.
Earlier, she openly expressed her suspicions and did not believe him, and now he...
Seeing Su Xiao in such a state, Anna's cheeks flushed slightly due to her previous words and actions.
— You'll feel better if you drink this, " Anna said, and handed him a beautiful crystal bottle.
The liquid inside the bottle shimmered with a golden light.
If it was anyone else, they might have accepted it immediately, but Su Xiao shook his head. — I just need to get some rest.
Hearing his words, Anna placed the crystal bottle in his hand, smiled, and nodded at Su Xiao.
Sure enough, Su Xiao wasn't injured, and since he was about to leave the fortress, he decided to collect as many rewards as possible before leaving.
After all, in the future, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of all these privileges for treating Carlos.
Anna helped Carlos out of the room. The two of them didn't thank Su Xiao in any way, for he was, after all, hired by Nicholas. The fact that Anna gave him the bottle was really a sign of her pity and nothing more.
After Carlos and Anna left, Nicholas approached Su Xiao. — My dear friend, are you all right?" He calmly grabbed Su Xiao's hand, the hand that Su Xiao was holding Anna's crystal bottle.
Su Xiao immediately looked at Nicholas.
— Reward.
Seeing Su Xiao's gaze, Nicholas stiffened. He hesitated for a moment, but after fighting the greed in his heart, he only smiled awkwardly and took out a brooch from his pocket, then handed it to Su Xiao.
After taking it away, Su Xiao wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, stood up, and walked to the exit.
— My... Friend, where are you going? When Nicholas looked at Su Xiao's back, he felt a little sad. Although he often got into confrontations with Su Xiao, he was actually very lonely, for he had no friends.
— Su Xiao opened the door and stopped. Su Xiao and Bubtny left the room and closed the door firmly behind them.
— See you later, " Nicholas said, and leaned back in his chair. He was the only one left in the room.
The crisis had obviously been resolved, but now he felt alone.
— Good-bye, my friend, and Nicholas will help you hush up the matter." Although deserting during war is a serious crime, Nicholas has a way out, " Nicholas muttered and raised his eyes to the ceiling. - A difficult opponent left, but... Why do I feel so alone?
----
Outside the fortress on the Black Earth Plain.
The strong wind blew dust and sand into the air endlessly, blowing Su Xiao's windbreaker as well.
The situation in the three major war zones had stabilized, but an hour ago, Heaven had issued Su Xiao with a new mission.
This quest had no reward, and its content was very simple. He needed to bring the core of the world to the center of this planet, the "ancient ruins of Alterac", and if Su Xiao understood everything correctly, then this place would become a battleground between contractors.
Over a thousand contractors are likely to come together in battle at this location.
— Prince, I'll see you at the ancient ruins of Alterac. This time, I will definitely kill you, " a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, as Bubtney carefully looked around and walked on.
