噗！ Luca denied repeatedly, but the dagger in Ebru hand flashes, separated the throat of Luca. 鲁卡连声否认,但是埃布鲁手中的匕首一闪,就割裂了鲁卡的喉咙。 The throat place blood direct injection, Ebru has no dodge, whatever the blood irrigation in own body, just like is bathes general, his manner is satisfied. 喉咙处鲜血直喷,埃布鲁没有任何的躲闪,任由鲜血浇灌在自己的身躯上,犹如是沐浴一般,他神态惬意。 Moreover, what is stranger is the blood has no one to drop in the ground. 而且,更诡异的是鲜血没有任何一滴落在地面上。 Such was absorbed by Ebru. 就这么的被埃布鲁吸收了。 At point of death Luca sees this, finally confirmed present Ebru absolutely no longer was that person who he knew. 弥留之际的鲁卡看到这一幕,终于确认了眼前的埃布鲁绝对不再是他所认识的那个人了。 Opens big mouth, Luca wants to shout. 张大嘴,鲁卡想要大喊。 But in separated throat, is only left over, the inspiration sound. 但被割裂的喉咙中,只剩下哈哧、哈哧的吸气声。 Then, is the endless darkness. 接着,就是无尽的黑暗。 The Luca corpse fell to the ground. 鲁卡的尸体倒地了。 Ebru looked that has not looked at one, ‚he’ has turned head to look to another side sentry post tower. 埃布鲁看都没看一眼,‘他’扭过头看向了另外一侧的哨塔。 So long as took this sentry post tower, the entire military compound, is ‚he’ prey. 只要拿下了这个哨塔,整座军营,就都是‘他’的猎物了。 Was stranded there for a long time ‚he’, but there are very for a long time has not played knife and fork. 被困在那里许久的‘他’,可是有很久没有饱餐一顿了。 However, when ‚he’ will soon act, ‚he’ the vision looked to behind. 不过,就在‘他’即将行动的时候,‘他’的目光看向了身后。 On there main road, nearly the end position, presented a motorcade. 在那里的大道上,近乎尽头的位置,出现了一个车队。 „Unexpected eating up?” “意外的加餐吗？” ‚He’ like this is saying, then, smiles to make noise suddenly. ‘他’这样的说着,然后,突然笑出了声。 Because, ‚he’ saw has one similar to pace back and forth around this motorcade. 因为,‘他’看到了有一个同类徘徊在这支车队周围。 Small and weak similar that has not arrived at!

别开玩笑了！ It does not want to become the swallowed prey. 它可不想成为被吞食的猎物。 Thinks of this, ‚Snow of Slurping’ stopped the footsteps. 想到这,‘吸食之雪’停下了脚步。 It prepares no longer to follow the motorcade, returns to nearby Syka City, has a look to have any delicious prey, but, again when it does not abandon looked when to direction that the motorcade goes forward, ‚Snow of Slurping’ sudden miraculous glow flashes. 它准备不再跟随车队,返回西卡城附近,看看有没有什么可口的猎物,但是,当它再次不舍的看向车队前进的方向时,‘吸食之雪’突然灵光一闪。 „Crossed Syka outpost, the motorcade must enter the Atandin Castle range immediately.” “过了西卡哨所,车队马上就要进入艾坦丁堡的范围。” „In there......” “在那里……” „‚Mist’ certainly by ‚War God’ ‚Lady of Calamity’ attention.” “‘迷雾’一定会被‘战神’‘灾厄女士’注意。” „Even, erupts the fight!” “甚至,爆发出战斗！” „I will not participate in such fight.” “我不会参与到那样的战斗中。” „But swallows this motorcade, should not have the issue?” “但吞食这支车队,应该是没有问题的吧？” Thinks of this, ‚Snow of Slurping’ stopped the footsteps. 想到这,‘吸食之雪’停下了脚步。 Its eye of belt/bring Greed, closely is following the motorcade again. 它目带贪婪,再次紧紧跟随着车队。 From beginning to end, it had not discovered, the form appeared in it together behind. 自始至终,它都没有发现,一道身影出现在了它的身后。 ‚Ebru’ static looks at ‚Snow of Slurping’, licks the lip that ‚he’ cannot bear, the saliva is starting cannot help but to secrete. ‘埃布鲁’静静的看着‘吸食之雪’,‘他’忍不住的舔着嘴唇,口水开始不由自主的分泌着。 Then- 然后- Thump!
