"Guardian," Elf chewed on the word repeatedly, his eyes as deep as night twinkling with an inexplicable light, "even if the road is full of dangers, even if he loses control and is executed, don't you regret it?"

"Maybe, but not now. ”

Elf looked at Sean with a little hesitation on his face, and did not show a trace of ridicule, but said lightly: "Don't scare you, go and choose your path." ”

"Pathway. Sean, who heard this word again, had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't tell whether he didn't know whether he was eager or afraid, or a mixture of the two, and after thinking about it and asking, "Captain Elf, how many ways are there in the mysterious world?"

"At present, there are seven pathways corresponding to the seven true gods, which are life, death, war, order, night, sun, and storm. After speaking, Elf said: "Now there are three ways to choose from in the team: night, sun, and low-level life. ”

"Why are there only three?" Sean understood as soon as he finished speaking, not to mention whether the ancient five magic associations were harmonious, even the gods they believed in were also hostile to each other.

According to legend, the gods of the Third Age fought together, and it was not until the beginning of the Fourth Age that the power of the sun was taken by the goddess of the dawn, the lord of the storm fell into a deep sleep, and the authority of the earth was swallowed up by the goddess of life.

After that, Life unites Night and Dawn to form the Three Goddesses Alliance, hostile to order, war, and storms, with only death remaining neutral.

Thinking of Sean, he asked the knowledgeable Elf, "What is the beginning of the captain's divine war?"

This time, however, he didn't receive an answer, only Elf's eyes and a simple answer, "How do I know?" ”

Elf looked at Sean with an overly curious look, and couldn't help but say in a serious tone: "Sean, you have to remember to stay calm in the occult, don't have too much curiosity, and tell you three iron commandments, don't look directly at God, don't listen to God, and don't maliciously speculate about God." ”

"What will happen?"

"Out of control. ”

Sean listened to Elf's mouth spit out simple and cold words, and his back couldn't help but feel cold, and at this moment he really understood the blood and cruelty of the mysterious world, and just one wrong step could lead to death.

"Have you figured out what path to choose, or do you want to join us?"

Hearing that Elf didn't know how many times he asked himself the same topic, he hesitated for a moment Sean subconsciously touched the talisman on his chest, but he grabbed it empty, and only after reacting did he remember that the talisman was still in Anna's hand, nodded and said: "Of course, I plan to choose the path of life, after all, I was rescued by the goddess of life and his old man." ”

Your words are the greatest disrespect to Him. Looking at Sean as he finished making his decision, Elf joked with a smile and motioned for Sean to follow him.

"After all, I am not a believer in Him. Startled, Sean couldn't help but learn from Anna with her hands together and her fingers crossed in a pretended prayer.

Eventually, the two of them came to the room on the far right of the second floor with an infirmary sign.

"Miss Eve, are you busy?" Elf only knocked lightly twice on the door, and without waiting for an answer from the people in the room, he pushed the door open and walked in with Sean.

The room was large, a full fifty square meters of room filled with unknown potted plants, and even the surrounding walls were covered with vines, and the whole room was filled with green, as if wearing a primeval forest, except for the absence of tall trees.

Elf led Sean briskly through the "forest" and came to a strangely dressed woman with long black hair, not wearing a long dress, but dressed like a man, and Sean recognized this as the woman who had been sitting next to Elf in the carriage at a glance.

At the same time, it seemed that she also recognized Sean, and the woman raised her hand and gently patted the dirt in her hand, smiled and walked over Elf to greet her, "See you again, frightened Mr. Carriage." ”

Sean, who was smiling for a while, froze his face, what is called a frightened Mr. Carriage, although he admitted that he was indeed frightened by Elf at the beginning, but it was far from being frightened, let alone Mr. Carriage, what is it...

Elf, who sensed the awkward atmosphere, couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "Ahem, Miss Eve, this is Sean, our new member. ”

"New member?" Eve seemed very excited when she heard these three words, and saw her go directly past Elf, and a cute face that looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a little freckles, approached Sean and said, "Hello, Mr. Rookie, my name is Eve, Eve Bell, and I am a potions master. ”

Mr. Rookie...

Sean, who was about to ask what a potions master was, froze his face again, because he really couldn't find words for this "lively" young lady, and sometimes silence would be less embarrassing.

"Hey, how can a very good-looking face be a dumb person?" Looking at Sean who looked bitter but didn't speak, Eve had a pity on her face, and turned to Elf and said, "Captain, can't you be more reliable when you look for someone, last time I found a big bear, an ice cube face, and this time another dumb." ”

"Shut up!"

"Oh. ”

This time, even Elf, who was good-tempered, had bruises on his face, but looking at Eve, who had returned to a well-behaved state, his expression softened slightly: "Go, mix a cultivator's potion." ”

"Cultivator, it turns out that this dumb gentleman actually chose the path of life?" said Eve, who laughed secretly, her black pupils flashing at Sean with an inexplicable light.

"Is the first level of the life path a cultivator?" Sean asked, hearing that he was related to himself, at Elf, "what is a potions master?"

"You're not dumb, are you?"

"Shut up!"

"Oh. ”

After scolding Eve again, Elf explained to Sean kindly: "Yes, the cultivator is the basic level of the life path, the potions master is the third level of the life path, and there is the second level of animal tamers in the middle. ”

"Can potions only be concocted by potions?"

"Of course not, anyone can mix as long as you have the materials. Saying that, Elf couldn't help glaring at Eve on the side, "Let this chatter be deployed, the main reason is that she is responsible for keeping the extraordinary materials of our team, but I can assign you this task in the future." ”

Hearing that she was going to remove herself, Eve grabbed Elf's arm and began to coquettishly say: "Don't, captain, it's a big deal that I won't secretly use materials for experiments in the future, okay, Mr. Rookie will definitely not be able to do this job well." ”

"You're embarrassed to say it. ”

"Okay, Captain. ”

“...”

Sean looked at the two people who were messing around wantonly in front of him, and the idea of turning around and leaving in an instant came to his mind again, the more he got along, the more he felt that this so-called night watch organization was unreliable, especially the captain who seemed to be a good old man, after all, Elf's terrible face in the dream Sean is still unforgettable.

Twitching the corners of his mouth and staring at someone who had regained his position through coquettishness, Sean couldn't help but meet Elf's helpless look that he also gave himself.

"Okay, let's go mix the potion, don't mess around. ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

Eve gave Elf a nondescript military salute and led the two to the vegetated gate, which was deep in the depths.

Sean, who pushed the door in, found that the room inside and the outside were completely two worlds, if the outside was a free forest, the inside was a cold city, except for the test bench with test tubes, beakers and other experimental equipment at the door, the rest of the space was placed with containers of the same specifications.

Sean, who could only look at the outermost layer, found that there were glass bottles of different sizes on the almost identical size lattice, some of which were soaked with unknown creatures or hideous or calm eyes, as if they had found the entry of a living person, and some of the eyes even looked at the door at the same time as if they were living creatures, some were soaked in pieces of meat or tentacles that were still wriggling, and some were black boxes that exuded an unknown aura.

A group of three, except for Sean, who was startled, the other two did not react at all, and even more Eve was not to be outdone.

"Captain, Mr. Coward, take a look at it, I'll get some medicine. After speaking, he didn't give the two of them time to react, and hummed an unknown tune and searched the shelves.

Sean looked at Eve's busy figure and no longer paid attention to his new nickname, after all, he had already achieved three different titles in just a few minutes, but looked at those things that only had eyes but were still active.

"Isn't it amazing?"

Just as Sean was fascinated, Elf's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Well, what kind of creatures are these creatures, Captain?"

Elf was not impatient with Sean's curiosity, and still enthusiastically explained to Sean, for example, a blood-red canine-like eye in the fifth row of the tenth row on the left staring at Sean was a three-eyed demon wolf from the third rank of the Order Path, and the third row of golden vertical pupils in the seventh row was a human-faced snake from the fifth rank of the Death Path.

"Captain, are they still alive?"

"Dead, with only their remnants of the spirits on it. ”

"What are you collecting them for, are they for exhibition?"

"You won't want to know, Mr. Sean?" Elf said as he smiled at Sean unkindly.
