Lonely Forest.

Once a beautiful jungle, it has been feared since the mysterious curse was revealed five years ago. But for Robin and his ghost thieves, it's a haven of escape, a place where honey and milk flow.

At this moment, in the depths of the Lonely Forest, beside a clear stream. Hundreds of ghost thieves were sitting around the campfire, dancing, singing, drinking, and eating meat.

There are no ghost masks to cover their faces, and when they take off their disguises, they are actually singing and dancing happily like ordinary people.

Robin was sitting on a boulder, holding a leather bag in his hand, and was pouring himself wine. He drank a little too much, drunk and confused, but he still held the wine bag and refused to let go.

"Balbo, go get that girl for me. Robin shouted in high spirits.

A bearded ghost thief muttered, "Boss, the boss said, don't do that." ”

"Shit!" Robin slapped the boulder: "So many brothers are here, we are not allowed to touch women, how do you spend that day?

The latter words made everyone laugh.

Robin was already waving his wine bag and shouting, "Block, bring her here." ”

The bearded man had no choice but to go over.

Soon, a woman was brought to Robin.

She looked to be about fifteen years old, and wore a delicate long dress, which could be seen to be from a wealthy family. Although he became a prisoner, he still held his proud head: "Let go of me, you bastards, don't touch me with your dirty hands." ”

"No problem. Robin laughed drunkenly: "I won't touch you with my hands, I'll stab you directly with mine." ”

The ghost thieves laughed.

"Phew!" The girl's temperament was very spicy, and she directly gave Robin a disdainful spit.

Robin had jumped off the boulder, picked up the girl, and walked to the depths of the forest: "I like your temperament......"

The girl struggled desperately, but it only made Robin more excited: "Yes, baby, that's it." Hopefully you'll be able to keep it up in a while. ”

"I hope you can continue to be so excited for a while. A cold voice suddenly came.

Robin's body froze suddenly.

Looking back, there was a man in black standing on a big tree not far away.

His whole body was shrouded in black mist, his form could not be seen clearly, and even his voice was mysteriously distant and elusive.

All the ghost thieves stopped their movements at the same time.

Robin shrugged his shoulders and threw the girl aside, "Hey, boss, why are you here?"

"There are some things to explain, but I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene. The shadow replied, "I remember telling you not to do anything strong." If you want a woman, go to a brothel/house in the city. ”

Robin spreads his hands: "I hate going to town, and this girl is beautiful, isn't it? ”

The dark shadow did not speak.

Robin helplessly: "Okay, okay, boss, I was wrong this time." Now that you're here, how about this girl being yours?"

Dark Shadow said slowly, "That's your answer? You're really disappointing me, Robin." ”

Robin was a little annoyed: "Hey, don't scare me. What if you're the boss? I'm the boss of this team! I'll listen to you for the sake of you've helped me, but if you continue to do this, don't blame me......

"Don't blame you, kill me?" asked the Shadow.

Robin smirked: "Although you are the boss, don't forget that I brought up the brothers here." They're all messing with me!"

The black shadow looked at the group of ghost thieves behind him, "You think so too?"

The ghost thieves didn't speak.

The boss fights for power, which is common among bandits. Most of the bandits are brave and ruthless, greedy and speculative.

Black Shadow has some strength as their boss, and they know it, but no one can say what the strength is. Robin's challenge to the Shadow Boss is itself an opportunity to witness, and the ghost thieves also want to see what kind of foundation the boss has to drive them.

Money alone is not enough.

The dark shadow saw their thoughts, and smiled hesitantly, "Want to see my methods? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Robin, I'm giving you one last chance, are you sure you want to challenge me?"

"I want to try. Robin replied.

As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist.

As a third-level samurai, Robin still has some confidence in his strength.

The Black Shadow nodded: "Very good, you gave up the last right to survive. ”

Robin raised his knife: "Come on, boy." Although you try your best to hide, I still know that your strength is not strong at all, and you are a first-class samurai at most. ”

"Let you see it. The black shadow nodded: "That's right, whatever strength you have, you can do anything, no matter how much you hide, there will always be clues revealed." If my strength is not enough, you should have judged it a long time ago, so you dared to ignore my orders. But Robin, you seem to have forgotten who made it easy for you to survive in this jungle. ”

"Of course, I haven't forgotten. So I won't kill you, and when I defeat you, I'll keep you by my side and continue to produce that curse-circumventing medicine for me. Robin laughed.

"Very well, since you said so, then I won't kill you later. The dark shadow sighed.

At this point in the conversation, there is obviously no need to go deeper.

Robin had already jumped to his feet and slashed a powerful slash at the shadow.

This sword is calm, thick, with all the experience and caution of a third-level samurai, full of countless changes, can deal with all possibilities, and even the possibility of the opponent bursting out of the fourth-level strength has been taken into account.

But he didn't consider another possibility.

The shadow waved his hand.

Robin felt a sudden itch in his body, and a strong pain erupted from his body.

This outburst was all-encompassing, and at that moment, every part of his body was suffering immensely.

"Ah!!h

It was as if something was gnawing at him, his face, arms, and chest were rapidly festering, and the flesh was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing his bones.

"How so?" All the ghost thieves were terrified.

"It's a curse! It's a curse!"

A ghost thief screamed.

Only then did everyone remember that what Robin encountered at the moment was clearly a curse outbreak.

But hadn't he already taken the medicine and resisted the curse?

Don't......

The ghost thieves looked at the shadow together.

The black shadow said leisurely: "That's right, although the medicine I gave you can resist the curse, I can also strip him." And because you've been in the Forest of Loneliness for so long, your body has been tainted with too much curse. As a result, as soon as the resistance is gone, the curse will explode immediately. But don't worry, I said he wouldn't die. ”

The shadow waved his hand, and Robin's body began to stop festering.

But the hurt of the past is still there, so Robin is still wailing in pain. If he is not rescued, he will probably die soon.

One of the ghost thieves was bold: "How can you control it to such an extent......?" Is it ......?"

The black shadow smiled: "Although it is a group of scumbags, it is indeed not stupid. That's right, the anomaly of this jungle was originally arranged by me. ”

It turned out to be the Lord of the Damned.

All the ghost thieves knelt down together.

In the face of the Lord of the Damned, they have lost any courage to resist.

Robin is still wailing, "Leave me alone, let me go!"

"Of course you will serve me, but you will no longer be the leader of the ghost thieves. ”

He walked over, and the black mist followed in his footsteps.

Standing in front of Robin, he said, "You know? I'm good at some other means. For example, making a puppet. Your strength is not bad, a third-level wasted person, which is the limit of what I can do now. With you as a material and a few other things, I should be able to refine a puppet equivalent to the combat power of a fourth-level samurai, which can be used in the next battle. ”

"No! don't!" Robin shouted in horror when he heard that he was going to turn himself into a puppet, "Leave me alone, I can continue to serve you." You need a leader, a leader who can lead everyone! Only I can do that!"

"I don't think so. The Black Shadow shook his head unconcernedly: "You are not a good leader, in my opinion, even if you let a woman be the leader of this team, you may be better than you." ”

He said as he stopped the bleeding for Robin. Of course, it is not because of love, but to prepare for the subsequent refining.

"You laid out the curse of the Lonely Forest?" a voice suddenly rang out.

"Huh?" the shadow looked at the source.

The girl.

The girl had risen from the ground and looked at him without fear.

Dark Shadow was amused: "Yes." How?"

The girl shouted, "Help me kill someone." ”

The dark shadow looked at her in surprise, "What did you say, let me help you kill someone?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded affirmatively: "As long as you help me kill that, I will give you whatever you want." ”

"I'm not interested in your body. The shadow replied.

The girl was beautiful, but the shadow didn't care at all.

"I'm not talking about the body, either. The girl said.

The Shadow is finally in the mood.

He looked at the girl again: "Then what else do you have?"

"My name is Isabella Quint, the first heir to the Günther family, but I was stripped of my inheritance not long ago. As long as you use the curse to kill the slut who is trying to steal my inheritance, I will be able to inherit the Gentry family, and all the finances of the Quint family can be yours. ”

"An old-fashioned plot to grab the family property?" the dark shadow looked at Isabella.

Isabella stressed: "The Quint family is one of the three richest families in the principality. ”

The answer she received, however, was disappointing.

The other party shook his head and said, "Not interested." ”

Not interested?

You even said you weren't interested?

You're the big boss of the ghost thief, and now you say that you have no interest in money.

Isabella was desperate.

"But maybe you can do something else. The shadow's answer gave her new hope.

"What is it?" Isabella asked hurriedly, swearing in her heart that she would seize whatever opportunity she had.

"Become the leader of this band of ghost thieves. The Shadow said.

"What?"

Isabella was dumbfounded.

That group of ghost thieves were also collectively stupid.

"That's right, become the leader of this group of ghost thieves, help me lead this team, and prove your worth. This is your only chance to survive and even take revenge in the future. The Shadow reiterates.
