Spear and Cross

Ascension, his strength is far above Rein.

He was just afraid that there might be some weird curse hidden on Rein's body, which was as hard to guard against as the whirlpool in his hand, and Hampton was unlikely to be able to avoid even the curse that he couldn't detect.

But for a moment, Hampton had already nailed one of Rein's legs with the holy gun, and the tip of the gun was inserted into the ground, nailing it firmly to the ground.Rein tried to struggle, but he didn't dare to move because of the spell engraved on the gun. His right hand had been cut off by the sharp tip of the gun, and he could no longer hold the dagger, and almost lost all resistance. .

"Don't rush to approach, there may be a trap." Fraxis reminded before Hampton went to check on his prisoners of war, and first performed a reconnaissance on Rein, who was struggling weakly on the ground like a dying fish. After confirming that there is not much danger, he walked to it with the knight.

"You...hehe... Brandon..." Rein's scarlet pupils rolled in his eye sockets, and there was only ferocious malice in his eyes, "You will all go to hell..."

After this fight, he had completely lost even the last thought of being a "Line". Fraxis looked at Hampton helplessly, not surprisingly seeing disgust in the latter's eyes.He stretched out his left hand, and used the hand that was not cursed by the "vortex" to release Freeze for Rein.

He couldn't purify Lane on the spot, even if he wanted to, and free Lane's soul as soon as possible, but he still had to take it back to the temple for examination to find out what this weird curse was about.

Regarding the method of dealing with Laing, Fraxis thought his decision was very reasonable, but unexpectedly, Hampton disagreed with him.

"...Aren't you afraid?" The knight stared at the cut on Rein's arm with a delicate expression, "He became like this because of the vortex in your hand, take him back to the temple for Priest Moxi to check, no Know what the consequences will be. After all, he can talk, and you are the one who turned him into this-"

"I believe Priest Moxi can prove the true source of this vortex." Fraxis frowned, "What's the matter, do you doubt the depth of his research on curses?"

"No, I just remembered some rumors I heard before, but I believe you also have your own ability to judge. Since you think you should do this...then do it."

Hampton put away the gun in his hand and didn't say any more.

Fraxis felt that he was a little baffled, so he asked the knights to imprison Rein in a magic cage, and then escorted him back to the temple.He himself stayed and cleaned up the remaining undead creatures in the civilian area, and by the way purified some of the black gas that still permeated the air, so as to prevent civilians from being polluted further.

"Anyway, you should be careful yourself." Hampton did not leave with the knights, but stayed with him to clean up the scene, so as to avoid another "accident" like Rein.Although they didn't find any more powerful undead creatures, no one can guarantee that the situation has completely stabilized—after all, before Rein himself broke out and infected half of the residents in the civilian area, no one knew that this person who had just left the temple The gardener has been transformed into an undead creature.

And Hampton didn't just stay to ensure safety, he had other things he wanted to say to Francis.

"Similar incidents have happened in the temple before. A priest was expelled from the temple on the grounds of 'fallen', because a heresy spell casting tool was found in his room. Although in your position, it is not possible to be framed so clumsily , but it is better to be more vigilant.”

Since Alvira was assassinated earlier, he began to suspect that someone wanted to do something to Francis, but there was no evidence to prove it.What happened to Rein this time affirmed his suspicion even more. Even though he hadn't made it clear what the other party wanted to do, it was basically certain that the target was Fraxis.

"This matter has been a trap from the beginning, but I have no choice but to go inside step by step." Fraxis smiled helplessly, and glanced at the knight beside him, "Why do you think I am getting closer to the festival?" The more anxious you are? Knight Commander, since we discovered the Anderma Phantom Butterfly larva and rescued Rein, even earlier... This is a trap against me, and you will be involved, which must be beyond the opponent's expectations."

After experiencing what happened to Laing, Fraxis suddenly felt that his previous behavior was a bit ridiculous, because no matter how hard he tried to hide it from Hampton, the latter would sooner or later find out what happened, or follow him without knowing it. Together they become targets for each other.The latter possibility seems to him relatively small. If the instigators of all this are familiar enough with them, they will understand that Hampton's character is a big uncertain factor. If it is Hampton who is forced to his situation , the situation in the Temple would be very different now.

After all, this "gun" is not always obedient.

The knight's expression became ugly. He pressed Fraxis's shoulder, half-forced him to stop, and asked, "...you already knew?"

His strength was too great, and it hurt Fraxis a little bit, he frowned and pulled his hand away, then looked up and looked at him, "I knew it since Alvira's accident, but the other party is obviously targeting me , so I didn't tell you."

"Are you so distrustful of me that I'm going to stab you in the back?"

Hampton was obviously very upset, staring at Francis as if he was going to eat him raw, "Mr. Noble, I thought we were partners."

"I've emphasized many times that I don't distrust you." Francis felt that he was unreasonable. "I don't tell you because I don't want you to be involved. Isn't it better for you? Even if we are As a partner, you have no obligation to step into this trap with me."

Hampton interrupted him: "But I would."

Fraxis was startled, a little unresponsive.

"I am willing to step into the trap with you, Fraxis. As long as you can tell me honestly what you are going through, I am willing to accompany you, you understand?"

The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, like a flame was burning secretly, but it was suppressed forcefully.For the first time, Fraxis read this directly from his eyes. Although he vaguely noticed that Hampton's emotions towards him were getting more and more out of control, he still felt a little flustered.

This made him feel a little strange, because before this, he had never been overwhelmed by men's advances.He has always been very good at dealing with other people's overtures and even confession. Almost no one is annoyed by his rejection. Durand said it was his talent as early as several years ago, but now he doesn't know how to respond to Han. A few words from Puton.

Hampton keenly grasped the abnormality that flashed in his eyes, and took advantage of the situation to take a step forward, forcing Francis to the wall.He held Fraxis' right hand without refusal, and didn't deliberately avoid the still spinning vortex. When their skins touched without hindrance, Fraxis realized that he had taken off his body at some point. The glove on that hand.

"..."

He looked up at Hampton in some surprise. Originally, he wanted to avoid it, but the latter moved too fast, and before he could react, he had already tightly grasped his hand, making it difficult to break free like pliers.

In direct contact with that vortex, no one can tell if there will be any problems. He has been careful to avoid skin contact with other people, especially his hands.But he didn't expect Hampton to take the initiative to touch his hand, so he was almost defenseless.

"Let the curse go to hell." The knight raised his eyebrows, deliberately pulled up his right hand, ignored Francis's struggle, and lowered his head to kiss the back of his hand, "I finally understand, so you refuse to tell Are these things about me caused by your ridiculous aristocratic psychology, huh? Feel ashamed like this?"

His expression was so punchy that Fraxis almost punched him in the face with his other hand.

"Yes, so what?" Fraxis shook his hand vigorously again, motioning for him to let go, "Are you going to say that my self-esteem and pride are worthless? Knight Commander, maybe this That is the biggest difference between us, on this point, we should never reach a consensus."

Fraxis didn't know why he suddenly lost control, but he didn't regret what he said - he and Hampton had the most serious difference of opinion, and sooner or later a bigger conflict would break out, rather than To continue to accumulate, it is better to take this opportunity to explain first.

"I never said that your self-esteem and pride are worthless," Hampton denied his words to his surprise, "in fact, my favorite thing is your pride, don't you do you know?"

He didn't seem to want to let go at all, instead he pulled Fraxis a little closer, clamped his chin with his free right hand, and blocked his mouth severely before he could speak.

The taste of this kiss was not good, because the surrounding environment and atmosphere were really bad, but Fraxis unexpectedly did not refuse, which surprised Hampton.
