As they passed through the realm of the van der Manlas goblins, past a swamp and vine grove, Eve was carried by Desi all the way to the foot of the hill where Shandelburg was sitting, and it was getting late.

There were no sheltered caves and old trees in this area, and Alan made a fire for her to keep warm, "Don't oversleep, and go to Shandelburg early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm." Eve cowered beside the fire, covered with the old robe that Alan had thrown at him in resentment, which he said had been used to mop the floor after a lot of money.

"Thank you." Eve curled up inside, and Alan said it was old, but it looked like new.

He summoned a dozen ghosts to gather them in the center, explained that she did not want her to return the garment, and that he would deduct it from Fern's wages, and then turned over and fell asleep with Caleb in his arms.

Eve lay on the lawn, looking at the moon shining through the branches, shrouded in smoke and clouds, and couldn't help but be in a trance, the people and events that had passed since leaving the palace seemed to be a century.

She turned her head sideways and saw Alan on the other side of the fire, and couldn't help but roll over and fall asleep in front of him.

Eve overslept again the next day, waking up with the ribs, collarbones, and shoulder blades on Caleb's chest. It was following Alan, carefully weaving between a pile of dead trees.

The trees on this mountain, probably the Shander Hills, are like dry and rotting zombies, without the slightest vitality and breath of growth, and the charred branches and trunks seem to have been burned by a fire.

There are still dead spirits hanging from the trees, floating back and forth.

Some of them were pale, their tongues sticking out of their mouths, their eyes bulging forward, and the strangulation marks on their necks indicated that they were hanged ghosts. Some were charred black, as if they had been burned alive.

"Awake?" Alan noticed Eve's movements and threw her a few fruits, this time orange, and Eve wiped them with her not very clean sleeve.

"Miss Eve, for your safety, you can hold my cervical spine." Desi spoke suddenly.

"Huh?" Although Eve was not as scared as she was at first, holding her arms around a skeleton's neck like a lover was quite a mental challenge.

"There are too many necromancy here, and if I join the battle in an excited way, I might throw you out without paying attention." Desi touched his head and explained, "The master has not let me go to war, if I can't help but let go of my hand." The hill here is steep, and if you were thrown out by me, you would probably roll down like a snowball. ”

"Good...... Good. Eve struggled to wrap her hand around Desi's neck.

"It's fine to hold your arms, but don't touch my atlas and pivot with your fingers. That's my sensitivity, my senses, and my points, especially the odontoid process in the upper part of the pivotal vertebrae, if I touch it, it will affect my state and performance very much. Desi remembered the experience of being "attacked and breasted" by Eve, and emphasized again.

“…… Be. ”

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Eve. You are such a thoughtful girl. ”

"It's okay."

"Someone's coming." Eve heard a deep male voice in front of her, like an old machine. She looked up into the distance, and in the midst of the black smoke, there was a group of people standing.

Another voice chimed in, "yes, somebody's coming, Tom." There are two living people. ”

"Was it sent by the abominable church? Or is it the royal family that aids in the abuse? "They burned us, burned us alive, my poor boy Anna." I will turn them into handfuls of ashes, which will be scattered from the top of the mountain, and will be broken in the air. ”

"Well said, Mary." Eve looked sideways at Alan, his face was normal, he didn't speak, and he stared indifferently at the dozen or so undead who were full of resentment blocking the middle of the road.

"It's an evil black magician!" Mary's pale, thin finger pointed at Desi, "Look, the woman the skeleton is holding." She must be a terrible witch, with a heart that is filthy more than anyone else under her coquettish skin. If it weren't for them, the gods wouldn't have abandoned its people. They are one of the culprits who killed us. My poor child, who was born and became a ghost......"

As she spoke, fiery red dots flashed from the tips of her thin nails, and a huge ring of fire ignited around Eve and Allen, and smoke swayed upwards like several black dragons intertwined into the air.

Eve covered her nose with a handkerchief and choked on her cough. Alan stared at Mary, his inky black eyes reddening, and a powerful spiritual pressure spread from the parietal bone to the nasal bone, mandible, and then down the vertebrae and humerus of the scapula, reaching the phalanges and phalanges.

Her limbs seemed to be torn apart, and the blood red on her fingertips was extinguished, and in the next second, she fell to the ground, almost dismembered.

Desi walked out of the fire with Eve in his arms, it was a skeleton of purgatory, not afraid of flames, but Eve was burned by the flames and sweated.

"Where is the faster way to Shandelburg?" Eren shifted from the flames to them. The powerful spirit oppressed several necromancers, and the man at the head pointed to the front with pale bones, and said, "From here, go straight ahead, cross four suspension bridges, three moats, and you will reach the outer wall." ”

Alan nodded, heading in the direction he was pointing.

Eve looked back with some concern, "Alan, are they ...... Is it a human, a black mage or a necromancy? ”

"Necromancy." Alan nodded, "Before the battle of Nadis, this place was set on fire by the Church of Light, and all the residents living on Shandel Mountain were burned to death. Many of the dead did not rest and became dead spirits, and the souls of the dead were entrenched in the branches. ”

"Set fire to the mountain, why? The war didn't involve civilians. Eve looked at Alan in confusion.

Alan looked back at Eve like a fool, "When the Church sent the Knights of Pyram to garrison Shandarburg, Barton, the Prince of the Bloods, led the combined forces of the Bloods and Werewolves to capture the Black Forest of Curaro and go straight to Shandelburg. The Ram knights were afraid that when the civilians on the mountain entered the castle, they would consume a lot of food and water stored in the fort, which would affect the protracted war. Fearing that they would be turned into their own kind by the blood clan at the foot of the mountain, they said that they had turned their backs on the God of Light and had fallen into the dark companions. A dozen fireballs were thrown from the top of the mountain, burning not only the villagers, but also many blood clans. The fire burned for three days and three nights, creating a barrier that delayed the fighting and allowed the church to send soldiers to support. ”

Eve felt cruel and began to wonder, "Is it true?" "The education she received in Gary was the most orthodox. In the royal teachings, the God of Light is still great, and the Church is still merciful and right to all its people.

All battles are whitewashed, without exception a provocation by a group of people from the dark to the camp of light. And the battle of Nadis, which has been famous for thousands of years, is rarely mentioned. As for why Gary now accepts the dark god, the explanation given by the church is because of the tolerance of the light God and the mercy of the church, giving all living beings in the world a chance to turn evil to good and go to heaven.

Alan didn't bother to argue with her, Eve looked at the drawbridge in front of her and asked, "If what you said is true, then they hate us so much, will the path they are pointing out be correct?" Perhaps it will lead us to more dangerous places. ”

Alan stopped, not replying.

Under the suspension bridge in front of him was an abyss, full of smoke and bottomless, and the wooden planks of the suspension bridge were all burned off in the fire of that year, leaving only black chains, which were precarious.

Eve hugged Desi's cervical spine and looked at Alan worriedly.

"Unless you are a stronger magician, you can't lie under mental oppression." Alan didn't know why he had to explain these doubts, so he said to Desi, "Desi, put her down." ”

"Yes, master." Desi brought Eve to the ground, and she silently walked up to Alan's side, "Ai...... How are we going to get there? ”

"Desi can't fly, can't continue to hold you. Caleb was wounded...... "Alan took Desi back, he looked at Eve, there was a kind of wind and water, and the strong man looked at death as if he were gone, "I'll take you to the other side." ”

"Good...... Ok thank you. Although the matter of letting Desi carry her all the way made Eve feel stuck, but there was still a little luck, and she was still a little nervous, did he want to carry her personally this time?

While Eve was a little shy, Alan took out three pairs of gloves from the storage ring and put them on layer by layer, the innermost layer was woven with tough silver silk, the middle layer was a strange one, and the outermost layer was a heavy silver silk glove. Tighter than the highest level of protection in the real yàn room, Alan stretched out his firmly wrapped hand to Eve, "Pull." ”

“……”

Eve grabbed the cold silver gloves and looked at the bottom of Alan's eyes, and there was a faint sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Focus." Alan gripped her tightly in turn and walked to the edge of the chain bridge. He silently chanted the spell in his mouth, and a silver magic array appeared under his feet, and on the ground on the other side of the cliff, an identical transmission circle was gradually outlined, and when the last stroke of the magic array was completed, Eve's body fell into the continuous tearing of space, trying his best to ignore the "hulala" wind in his ears, and looking down, the bottom of the invisible cliff was like a terrifying demon hell.

Eve gripped Alan's hand tightly, and it was like an endless torment for a few seconds. It wasn't until his feet landed on the smooth ground again that he stroked his chest with palpitations.

Eren tried to let go of her, but Eve, who hadn't come back to her senses in high school, still clutched his hand and clinged to her mother like a chick.

Through three layers of gloves, Alan struggled to ignore the discomfort of being held. He led Eve, who was half a beat slow, through the scorched Black Forest, over three chain bridges, and finally to the moat on the outskirts of the castle.

There are two small boats floating on the river, and zombies holding on to oars stand on the bow of the boats and look around.

Eve's left hand was suddenly tightly clamped, and she wanted to pull it out in pain, but she found that Alan's expression was getting more and more wrong, he grabbed Eve with his right hand, and slowly squatted down with his left hand covering his chest.

"Alan, you...... What happened to you? Eve couldn't see his face clearly, only the sweat slid down and seeped into the dirt.

On the iron-locked bridge, Mary and Tom stood next to a magician wrapped in dark green robes, she looked at Alan and Eve from a distance, bared her teeth but respectfully, "Since you hate that male mage so much, why don't you let him fall into the abyss and turn him directly into a meatloaf?" It's just that he gets some flesh wounds, it's too cheap for him. ”

"No...... Although the two of us have a grudge, it is enough to add some obstacles to him from time to time and make his life unsmooth. The dark-green magician laughed, "I can't kill him even while he's injured." If he has gone too far, when his wounds are healed, he will have to attack my castle with an army of the undead. Oh...... It's not too early, the potion in my room has been heated, and it must be taken out and air-dried. Mr. Tom, Miss Mary, see you next time. ”

Mary tried to persuade him, but the mage had moved elsewhere, and his shadow was gone.
