He then pointed to the dragon halberd next to him.
Hades' gaze swept over them one by one.
His gaze paused noticeably for a moment when it fell upon the Holy Lord.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the terrifying energy contained within the man in the black robe.
"Your subordinate seems to be very powerful; he must be an outstanding warrior."
The Holy Lord nodded slightly in response.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Hades chuckled softly, stood up from the stool, and his tall figure cast a very imposing shadow.
"I should be thanking you."
"If it weren't for you, I probably would have died on the battlefield just now."
He looked at Lin Ci with admiration in his eyes.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Lin Ci smiled too, a hint of amusement in his smile.
"You're underestimating us by asking that question."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"So, you're allowed to save us, but we're not allowed to save you?"
These words, like a tiny electric current, instantly struck Long Jian.
Those words sound so familiar.
He felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
This coincided with his idea.
Upon hearing this, Hades was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, good!"
Laughter echoed through the camp, filled with pride and admiration.
"Lin Ci, you are all very skilled. Why don't you join our wolf clan?"
Lin Ci shook his head, a casual smile on his face.
"I'm used to being lazy and don't like fighting and killing."
He changed the subject and pointed to Long Jian beside him.
"But my little brother might be interested."
Long Jian was stunned for a moment.
He coughed lightly and spoke with some uncertainty.
Hades stood with his hands behind his back, naturally exuding an aura of supreme dominance.
"Yes, our people are all wolves, and have long been regarded as heretics by other groups."
“We have no dignity and are being persecuted and massacred on a large scale, so we have no choice but to rise up and resist.”
Upon hearing this, Long Jian felt a surge of sympathy.
"Who was fighting you just now?"
"The Snow Queen's Legion".
Hades' tone was calm.
Long Jian was shocked once again.
Hades nodded.
"Yes, the Snow Queen listened to Guigu's words and was worried that our wolf clan would invade other clans."
"So they gave the order to exterminate our wolf clan."
Long Jian could not understand.
This was a completely different person from the benevolent Snow Emperor he remembered.
"But as far as I know, the Snow Queen praises love, she does not advocate force."
Hades' lips curled into a cold smile.
"Love can create everything, and it can also destroy everything."
Long Jian was still puzzled. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Just then, Lin Ci's voice rang out again.
"The Snow Queen's love is like sunshine, giving the world warmth and light."
"However, wolves are souls from the darkness of the abyss, and sunlight is not suitable for them; it will only bring them disaster and destruction."
Hades suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Ci.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented shock and admiration.
These words perfectly matched his own thoughts.
It was as if the words came from his own mouth.
Long Jian looked up, puzzled.
"Can't you just live peacefully with other ethnic groups instead of fighting to the death?"
Hades shook his head, a hint of weariness in his voice.
“I have been looking for ways to live in harmony with other groups, but other people are hostile to us wolves.”
They believe that our souls are inherently bloodthirsty!
"Ugh!"
Just then, a loud baby's cry suddenly came from inside the tent.
The murderous aura on Hades' face vanished instantly, replaced by an extreme gentleness.
He strode into the tent and carefully picked up a baby in swaddling clothes.
Strangely, the baby stopped crying the moment it saw Hades.
It even grinned and let out a crisp laugh.
Hades gently stroked the baby's cheek, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.
Lin Ci knew that this was Tian Yu.
Can I have a hug?
he asked.
When Hades saw Lin Ci, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"of course can."
Lin Ci took Tianyu from him, and the little guy blinked his big, dark eyes, looking at him curiously.
A moment later, she laughed too, her pure laughter like heavenly music.
Seeing this, Hades' smile deepened.
"This is my daughter. It seems she likes you very much."
As Long Jian watched this scene, his doubts deepened.
"Aren't there any other races who can accept you?"
The smile on Hades' face slowly faded.
His gaze was fixed on the dark horizon in the distance, as if he were lost in a distant memory.
His tone became incredibly heavy.
"Once upon a time, a kind-hearted girl from the Phoenix Clan not only did not hate me, but also fell in love with me."
Finally, our child was born.
His gaze fell on Tianyu in Lin Ci's arms, filled with boundless affection.
Immediately, that affection turned into cold hatred.
"Unfortunately, because she married me, she was regarded as a traitor by her own people."
"Finally, they were burned alive."
Hades's gaze turned icy and chilling, as if it could freeze the soul.
"From this day forward, I will be irreconcilably opposed to the rest of my people!"
He turned his head and stared intently at Long Jian.
"Then, I stopped looking for ways to live in harmony with other tribesmen."
"The only way for our wolf clan to survive is..."
His tone became agitated, each word like a roar bursting from his chest.
"Because we are wolves!"
"Our soul's nature is..."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to vent all the grief and indignation in his heart.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his back to the crowd, once again.
"Since I grew tired of searching, I have learned to find what I'm looking for immediately."
"Since a headwind came, I have been able to withstand the winds from all directions and sail my boat."
Long Jian was stunned.
Why does it sound so familiar?
