"You're not dead yet!"

Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, who should have been very moved in her impression and was about to stage a family-touching ethical drama, stared at the sloppy old man in front of her in shock at this time.

Simon didn't realize that there was something wrong with Agnes's tone at all, and he teased his messy hair very coquettishly, affectionately playing the image of the old father who had returned thousands of miles in his imagination, and wanted to make his "daughter" who had taken care of him from childhood to adulthood even more moved.

As a result, Agnes just covered her nose and circled him a few times, and then walked away with a very boring snort.

"Eh, what do you mean by that?"

Simon, who was a little hurt by being ignored, asked Agnes.

"If you come back, you'll come back, what else do you want from me?" Agnes crossed her arms, "Do you still want me to cry to you?"

"You ......"

Simon was annoyed by what Agnes was thinking, and he wanted to scold him, but was interrupted by Duke on the side.

It can't be helped, Duke thinks that if he doesn't say anything, it will probably turn into a family martial arts tragedy between them soon.

"I think you'd better tell me about your experience in the depths of the Dark Mountains, we're all interested in the overall story, and we're a little puzzled as to why it took you so much time to get out of it. Right?"

The first words were addressed to Simon, and the latter was Duke winking at Agnes and asking her to cooperate.

Fortunately, Agnes was also very curious about Simon's experience, so she reluctantly followed Duke and said a few kind words about Simon, which made the old guy very happy.

"Actually, nothing big happened!"

Simon waved his hand very proudly, but his tattered clothes and haggard face made his movements much less convincing.

"I followed the guy suspected of being a plague creather for three days and three nights, and finally found that I had lost it, and that's when I realized that his purpose was to lure me away from the army. ”

"Did you let the other man run?"

"That's not it, I think it's too late to go back and save him, so I thought that it wouldn't be a loss to slaughter him, so I continued to touch it all the way......"

Speaking of this, Simon wanted to continue, but Agnes said angrily: "What do you mean 'it's too late to go back and save him', 'It's not a loss to slaughter him', I'm a dignified saint is worth a plague strategist?"

"Well, that's not what I meant......" Simon hurriedly calmed Agnes and continued, "The deeper I went, the more I realized that something was wrong, and finally I was able to touch the erosion crack. ”

"Is erosion real?" said Agnes and Duke in surprise this time.

And Agnes's face instantly turned bitter melon-shaped, and if the erosion did exist, it meant that she would have to make another trip to the Dark Mountains to seal the gap away. After all, her mission in coming to the north this time was to investigate the authenticity of the erosion and seal it.

"Listen to me first. Simon waved his hand to signal the two of them to quiet down and listened to him continue, "Although this is indeed an erosion rift, it is clearly in a withered state, it was less than the size of my little finger when I left, and now it is estimated that it has been completely repaired by the rules of the world. ”

According to some of the more subtle knowledge that Duke has learned, the erosion rift, which exists against the rules of the world, will eventually be rejected by the real world, and eventually completely erased from the world through his own repair ability.

It's just that the repair ability of the world's rules is limited after all, and erosion seems to have an abnormal restraint on the world, and it is basically impossible to repair it naturally.

Just like the erosion cracks that have been suppressed for more than 700 years under the Basilica of the Holy Emblem, there has been little change over the years, and it is said that from time to time there will still be terrifying monsters rushing out of it and finally being killed by the guardian priests.

It was the first time Duke had heard of Simon's account of actually seeing the crack repaired.

However, judging from Agnes's expression, she also couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.

"Fix it yourself, lie, right?"

She immediately questioned Simon's words in her characteristic mocking tone.

"It's a pity, little Agnes, that's the way it is. Simon spread his hands helplessly, "Because the existence of this crack is a little abnormal, and it is a little different from the ones I have seen and sealed with my own hands before." ”

"Abnormal?"

"Yes, this crack is even weaker, and if I use the seal this time, I guess it won't take much effort to complete it. ”

With this sentence, Simon made a fist clenching motion, indicating that he would not need to spend too much effort if he did this.

Judging by the church's assessment and the scale of the beast tide encountered by the Beijing Fortress, the intensity of the erosion this time is at least moderate. ”

Agnes touched her smooth chin and wondered, a little confused as to what had gone wrong.

Erosion hasn't changed fundamentally over the years, so the church's set of criteria for evaluating erosion can be applied almost at any time, but this time there was a problem.

Does this mean that the erosion has undergone a mutation that the Church has not expected and is not yet able to grasp, and if this is the case, then not only the Church, but the whole world will soon be in danger again, and the second great crisis of extinction of humanity is almost foreseeable?

"Don't be so serious, little Agnes. ”

Seeing that Agnes frowned solemnly and was silent, Simon first relieved himself before expressing his guess: "I don't think the problem is the erosion, the erosion is still the erosion we know, and the problem is the final church." ”

"The Church of the End?"

"That's right, they should have mastered a special method, and I guess its function is to find the weak point of the world plane, and then open the channel of erosion from this point through consciousness, so that the erosion can be realized. ”

Realizing the amount of information contained in this sentence, everyone present fell silent.

As Simon said, the Church of the End could be said to have mastered a very invincible weapon of mass destruction, and it was impossible to predict where the next place of erosion would be, and it could face countless casualties at any time.

"Why?"

Agnes and Simon looked at Duke with some confusion.

"I mean, why would they choose the Dark Mountains, the Fortress of the North......"

"Obviously, Lord Duke, your territory is being targeted!"
