Chapter 1607 The Knight's Misfortune

Cartersley was a little quick-talking. He admitted his identity directly, and asked Gu Yi and the others about his intentions without any scruples.

Facing his direct performance, Peter felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Because according to Gu Yi, there should be a mutual induction between the ghost knights. But even if he stood face to face with this old man, he still didn't have the slightest feeling of facing the same kind. This made him very suspicious of the authenticity of the old man's words. In addition, the old Carter's impression on him was really not very good. So at the moment, he turned on the old Carter.

"Wait, you say you're the ghost rider we're looking for? How do you prove that?"

"Proof?" With a sneer, Old Carter grabbed Peter's arm directly. And when they got in touch like this, Peter immediately felt the burning taste of the flames from his arms. This is not the damage that ordinary flames can achieve, only the fire of hell can have such power.

Although as a Ghost Rider, he was not afraid of the burning of this hellfire, but what happened right now still made him startled. Because, besides Mephisto, the only ones who can manipulate Hellfire are ghost knights like them. Mephisto is dead, there is no doubt about it. Then there is only one possibility left for the identity of the old man in front of him, and that is Ghost Rider.

To be more precise, this is an extremely weak Ghost Rider. Peter, who didn't feel anything face-to-face, confirmed the identity of Old Carter only after having physical contact. He is indeed Ghost Rider, the Vengeful Spirit. On this point, the hellfire in his body cannot be faked. However, the hellfire he possessed was already very thin, so thin that Peter even doubted whether he could use it to transform into a ghost rider.

He was simply hanging on to his own life by following the magic power of Hellfire. If it wasn't for the maintenance of Hellfire, according to his current physical condition, he would have already been buried in the grave. And the Spirit of Vengeance, a nearly immortal existence, how could it be so rare, this is what really surprised Peter.

He couldn't figure out the reason for this, so naturally, he put his doubtful eyes on Old Carter. And old Carter obviously also noticed the meaning in his eyes, which made a meaningful expression suddenly appear on his face.

"What, boy. Didn't you think of it? Believe me, there are many things in this world that you can't imagine! When you live to my age, you will know that this world is always A surprise is prepared for you. If you can accept it, then naturally everyone will be happy. If you can’t accept it, then hum.”

Just like the annoying tone before, the surprise in Peter's heart was immediately diluted a lot.

But out of curiosity, he still couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

"Why is the fire of hell on your body so thin? The power of the ghost knight shouldn't be so weak."

"The power of the Ghost Rider? Kid, not everyone is as lucky as you, who can regard this endowment as a gift. For the vast majority of Ghost Riders, this power is more like a Curse. As for the curse, would you still be happy with it? No, believe me. You will just be like us, trying every means to get rid of it. Just like I once did."

"In the past hundred years or so, in order to completely get rid of this curse, I have exhausted all methods and finally killed the spirit of revenge in my body. This certainly made me lose most of my strength. But Anyway, it freed me from this heavy curse, from Mephisto's clutches for good. So, I think it's worth the price, don't you?"

"I don't know, I don't feel like you do"

As soon as Peter spoke, Old Carter interrupted him very rudely.

"Of course you don't feel this way, kid. Because you are lucky. I don't know what kind of contract you signed with Mephisto, but I can feel that you don't have that spirit of revenge in your body." The restlessness and madness. You only get their power, but you are not dominated by them, and this is extremely lucky compared to us."

Regarding such a statement, Peter did not deny it. Because he had already discovered the tragic fate of the ghost knights in the past when he received the inheritance of Zatanos. In the hands of Mephisto, Zatanos has a total of more than two thousand hosts. Every Ghost Rider who is boarded by him will become more and more crazy under the restlessness and persecution of his venomous soul.

There are more than 2,000 hosts, and almost none of them can die well. It is often not those terrible evil spirits, ruthless devils that lead to their demise. It is the spirit of vengeance that dwells on them.

Zatanos tortured them crazily. This hell lord, who was unwilling to be imprisoned, resisted almost all the time, trying to break free from this cage of souls. As for the cage itself, every resistance is at the expense of the ghost knight's body and soul. The longer the time, the heavier the loss, and in the end, of course, they can't escape a destructive ending. .

Zatanos is like this, presumably the spirit of revenge of other knights will not be much better. No one would be willing to endure such torture and watch themselves go to destruction. So it is completely understandable that they would want to break free from such a fate of destruction.

Peter understood how the old knight felt, and at the same time, he was shocked by what the old knight did. Killing the spirit of revenge in his body was something he had never thought of. Because he knew very well what the Spirit of Vengeance meant to knights.

This is their source of strength and the heaviest thing they can carry. The so-called Ghost Riders are often not acting according to their own intentions. In the confrontation between soul and will, it is difficult for them to fight against the spirit of vengeance they carry. This is why when the night falls, the ghost knights will fly out as soon as they smell the evil breath. At this time, it is the spirit of vengeance that dominates them, not the soul and will of the knight himself.

They are passive and out of a weak position in this respect. For the Vengeful Spirit, the so-called knight is just a temporary consumable, a tool. And a tool actually wants to rebel against the people who use them, isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?

No matter how you think about it, this is impossible. The reason for saying this is because it requires not only courage, but also will, wisdom and other aspects. Just fighting a vengeful spirit is already very difficult, but don't forget that there is an old fox, Mephisto, behind it. Destroying the Spirit of Vengeance is only the first step, and it is still an insignificant step. The really important thing is to hide it from Mephisto, so that he will not have any doubts about the destruction of the Vengeful Spirit.

Just by thinking about it, you know how difficult it would be to deceive the famous and cunning king. That's next to impossible. But the problem is, such a thing really happened, and it actually appeared before their eyes. So even Peter, a guy who had a terrible impression of Old Carter, had to admit at this moment that he had done a pretty remarkable thing.

He began to admire this guy. Although his behavior is indeed very offensive. But every yard counts, a guy with such intelligence and will deserves his respect. So at the moment, he said this to Old Carter.

"Mr. Shiley. I know there are certain differences between us. But I can assure you that our positions are absolutely the same."

"That's not necessarily the case, I still don't know what position you stand on! If I remember correctly, the power in you should belong to a young man named Johnny Blazer. I don't know what happened to him What, so that Mephisto will hand over his power to you to inherit, and in such a special way. However, based on what I feel from you, I have reason to doubt your Stand. If you are not standing next to the Supreme Mage, I would even suspect that you are the illegitimate son of Mephisto. You know, I know that old bastard, he is not the kind of person who will make money at a loss!"

Still speaking in that unceremonious way, Cartersley almost choked, and Peter was almost speechless. Seeing Peter's immature performance, Gu Yi let out a long sigh in his heart, and then took the conversation.

"If you really know about Mephisto, you will know that even if he is really Mephisto's illegitimate son, it is absolutely impossible to get such treatment. For Mephisto, even if it is The devil prince appointed by him is just a tool that can be used. He will not entrust his most precious property to others because of a worthless identity. This is not his style, never has been. You should understand!"

"You are right, he is indeed not that kind of person. This is what I am most fortunate about."

Casually recalling the old one, Carter fixed his gaze on Peter.

"So, boy. Do you have any explanation for the power you have? Or is there some shady deal you made with Mephisto?"
