At night, Beth curled up in Thor's arms.

"Do you miss them?" asked Beth suddenly.

"Who?" said Thor.

"I've asked Timo, and the three he's talking about are all the eldest ladies of the Odrenza family in the South, compared to them...... I really don't have any brilliance. Beth's voice was a little darker.

"You little maid...... When did you learn to be jealous?" Thor couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't, but you once reached that height, and I don't want a big man like you, because I'm an ordinary girl, to lower myself into the dust. Beth's voice choked up.

"I'm going to be angry if you say that again, admit your mistake!" Thor shook Beth in his arms.

“...... I don't!" Beth looked at Thor with the only eye she had left, a stubborn expression.

Thor grimaced and ripped Beth's silk pajamas roughly.

“...... Hmm~" Beth silently endured Thor's frantic onslaught, gently biting his shoulder, sweet tears sliding down her eyes.

I don't know how long it has been, but the wind and rain have gradually stopped.

Thor held Beth tightly in his arms, spread a hand against the roof, and drew a circle in the air.

"Life is a circle that cannot be aggregated, and there are gains and losses in it, so in the final analysis, life is just a gain and loss. Life is a series of random processes, and we cannot decide who we will meet, what we will experience, and who we will lose in the end. ”

"You ask me if I miss them, and I do. Because they have passed by my life, and have helped me accompany me like you, they have become a part of my life and memory, and cannot be easily erased. ”

"I don't have any bullshit height, I have lived in a monastery since I was a child, and I have been orphaned all my life, and in the end I am just a rotten life. Thor looked at the roof and said calmly.

"I'm not allowed to say that about yourself, so why don't you keep them all around?" asked Beth as she leaned on Thor's chest.

"Everyone else has their own home, okay? You think it's a wild cat or a wild dog that can be taken away?" Thor laughed.

"Then you mean I'm a wild cat and a wild dog?" Beth pouted and glared at Thor.

"Yes, you are. Thor rubbed her little head.

Beth coldly pinched Thor's doppelganger, causing Thor to frown slightly, and then the whole person was shocked.

"How dare you, a little maid, provoke the lord?dare to forcibly interrupt my sage's time?Enlightenment, little wildcat, the Great Demon King of Thor is angry today, and he must eat you. Thor rolled over and pressed Beth underneath him.

"Master, I was wrong, no, Lord Demon King, you wait, let me rest...... Ahh

Another round of brutal ** killings begins.

The next day, Beth's eyes were a little red, apparently she hadn't slept well last night, and she didn't do anything when Sol told her to rest, so she had to get up and accompany Sol to the territory for the last walk.

Thor walked around the territory in a general manner, not doing anything specific, just saying goodbye before leaving.

Standing in the square, Stante and the others gathered.

"In the future, you can float freely in the territory, you don't need to hide anymore, by the way, you are not allowed to harass the people. Thor solemnly explained to Teemo, who arrived yesterday, that this guy would probably run away to spy on the village woman taking a bath if he wasn't paying attention.

"Boss, it's like this every time, you leave as soon as I come. Are you willing to give up me? You must be deliberately trying to avoid me. Teemo said as a large dog's head rubbed against Thor's chest again.

"Let's see what you can do in two days, and get things done. You two help me keep an eye on this guy and arrange for him if there's something suitable. Thor pushed Teemo away with a look of disgust, then turned to Staunt and the others to explain.

"No need, boss, I only have a head left, won't you let me go?" Can I just eat?" Teemo let out a series of lewd laughs tugging at bellows, trying to save himself.

"Less nonsense. Thor rolled his eyes.

"Recently, I made a new discovery, it seems that each secret realm gate can only pass six people. For example, after opening a door to enter, if more than six people are brought back, the secret gate to the territory will disappear. ”

"However, it seems to have something to do with the quality of the scrolls themselves, each one seems to be a little different, and the number of people who can pass through it fluctuates in the range of six to eight. Staunt clasped his hands, not remembering anything else to say except for the incident.

Thor looked down and thought about it, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"Six or eight people are not a big problem, and there is no need to save on the scrolls that should be used. ”

"It's the tax issue I told you, if I don't come back and it's too long, you remember to introduce a new lord, the territory can't be without a lord for a long time, and remember to start collecting taxes from the lords at the same time as the lord. ”

"Do you remember?" Thor turned his head to look around.

Sensing Thor's solemn tone, several people nodded one after another.

Standing in the square and looking around the entire territory, Thor didn't think of anything else to say, so he could only wave his hand to end the farewell.

On the way back, Thor suddenly remembered that there was one last little thing.

"Help me get Scott over. Thor grabbed a street patrolman.

"My lord, I don't know what to order?" After a while, Goblin Scott hurried in.

"You reminded me last time you talked about the Lord's Mansion, so you can help pick a few maids...... Well, just two. Be smart and kind-hearted, and follow Beth to take care of her daily life. Thor instructed Scott.

"I don't need to, I'm fine. Beth hurriedly excused herself.

Thor waved his hand for Scott to pick someone, turning his head and wrapping his arms around Beth's waist.

"Less nonsense, I never remembered that the previous days were hard for you. I won't be on this trip too shortly, and you won't be too lonely with two people with you. Thor tilted his head against Beth's little head.

"Promise me that you will come back well. Beth's eyes were red, and she hugged Thor's arm tightly and leaned against his shoulder, as if Thor would never come back if she let go of him.

"Well, how about I teach you to sing a ballad of a woman I've heard on my travels?" Sol suggested.

Beth nodded inexplicably, as if surprised that Thor could sing.

Then Thor and Beth snuggled up and down the street, their slightly deep voices ringing in Beth's ears.

"I always spill sauce on my clothes, and I thought you'd laugh at my stupidity, but you didn't. ”

"I was sometimes playful and lazy, and I thought you would complain that I was lazy, but you didn't. ”

"I broke your beloved oak harp, and I thought you would rebuke me for being careless, but you didn't. ”

"Many nights I wake up in the crook of your arm worried, always thinking that you will no longer love me, but you don't.

"So I made up my mind to love you more than ever. ”

"So I sat here every day waiting for you, waiting for you to return safely from the battlefield, but you didn't. ”

The ballad was not long, and the short lyrics were quickly sung by Saul.

However, after listening to this, Beth suddenly cried fiercely.

"Woo woo ~ I don't want this kind of song, it's so sad, you have to make me cry before you are willing, you scoundrel, woo woo woo ~ " Beth put her head on Thor's shoulder, crying so much that she couldn't walk.

Thor looked embarrassed, and could only coax the eyes of the leaders for a long time before Beth returned to normal.

Returning to his quarters, Thor absorbs the last demon soul he needs.

After taking off his ring and placing it in Beth's palm, Thor stroked Beth's face with a smile until the hand finally fell limply and finally lost its life.

Beth stared at him for a long time, finally wiping away her tears and leaning down to kiss him deeply. Then he put his hand in the blanket and covered it, turned and opened the door and went out softly.

When Thor woke up again, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.

He wasn't too surprised, he was used to it anyway.

stood up and patted his buttocks, only to remember that there were no clothes on his body at the moment,

In fact, the last time he was promoted to the third order, Thor had already discovered that every time he fell asleep, he would come to a complex labyrinth like a dream, and the memories of the last few promotions would also be connected, and then he would be forgotten after the promotion successfully woke up.

It was a strange feeling, like he still remembered Beth's smile at the bedside, but no matter what he had experienced in this labyrinth, he would forget it all when he woke up until the next promotion.

The reason why it is said to be a labyrinth is the conclusion that Thor came to after combining his experience when he was promoted to the second and third ranks, combined with the comparison.

Thor distinctly remembers that when he was promoted to the second order, he went through a vast and large labyrinth, and the final exit was in the center of the labyrinth. When he was promoted to the third rank, he was at the bottom of the sea, and the exit was in a dilapidated wreck.

The magic of these labyrinths is that you don't feel hungry, thirsty, or tired, even at the bottom of the sea, you don't have to worry about breathing, and there is only quiet time flowing here.

And if you can't get out, it may become an eternal silence.

Aside from a few meaningless objects, such as the walls and floor that make up the labyrinth, or the shipwrecks at the bottom of the deep sea, Thor has never seen anything alive in the labyrinth. Even at the bottom of the sea, there is not even a single fish.

Saul was well aware that all of these conclusions were not of any significance, as the experience was different every time he ascended. The point is whether you can get out of a limited life, even if you know it's a labyrinth.

Right now, for example, I'm in an attic-like room.

Thor's first instinct was that he was on one of the floors of a tower, as he saw both the upward and downward wooden staircases, and that there were two doors that could be opened to the left and right.

Thor stood in place or at the beginning of this promotion, without blindly taking a step, and without the slightest contempt in his eyes. He knew that every time he progressed, the difficulty of the maze would get bigger and bigger.
