Outside the door, he stood fragile and quiet for a while, waiting for those who had fainted to slowly wake up.

Regarding weapons, Vincent was right. For the Northlanders, it best represents a person's temperament. Fragility thus inherits Bran's patience, especially when facing prey. Even in the face of a group of lowly trash fish, he never wavered in the slightest.

As the trash fish in front of him woke up one after another, and after a short period of confusion, it showed a frightened look again, and it let go of its imprisonment.

"Now, those who haven't attacked me can go. ”

After speaking, a sharp gaze shrouded Seth and the others, "As for you, you need to pay the price for your previous recklessness. ”

Faced with the handsome appearance of the fragile brother, Seth seems to have gained a lot of courage from it. She asked softly, "At what cost?"

"Kill them, kill these people who betrayed you at a critical moment. ”

In the astonishment, the people led by the "merchants" who had not had time to leave suddenly panicked and could not help but run away, while the people led by Seth looked at each other.

Watching the fugitive's back fade away, Fragile continued, "You have a good talent, not only to discover the world hidden in the shadows, but also to steal its power. ”

Seth looked at the fragile brother, her eyes flashed with water, and her head twitched and she interjected to question: "Stealing, why do you say that?"

"Heh-

Because this world was created by my master. Back then, I stayed with my owner and watched it grow from scratch to something.

To this day, this growth has not stopped.

It was a part of the Master, it was a part of me, and it is only complete when we become one. ”

Inside the inn, Vincent and Dia stopped talking and looked outside together.

- I see!

"It's my gorgeous disguise, I'm its deadly stinger. ”

Along with the words, there are starlight scattered, and there are butterfly shadows flying. With the brilliance and butterfly shadows, the world hidden in the shadows slowly emerged. The inn is still the same inn, but the original reality has turned into a floating light, as if it is a bubble that will burst in a blow.

Fragile looked down at Seth, "Why?

- What do you say? ”

With this rhetorical question, the world in the shadows gradually faded away......

"It's not about stealing, it's about squandering your talents, trapped like rats in this little inn. You in this state don't deserve it.

Now there are two paths for you to choose: one is for me to recover the power that you have stolen, and the other is to prove that you have what it is. ”

Someone asked tremblingly, "Will you die, after you get those powers back?" ”

"No, but you will lose your ability to peer into the Shadow World, and you will return to normality. ”

Hearing that she was back to the ordinary, Seth couldn't help but shudder. In this world, returning to the ordinary often means that the day is precarious. What's more, the inn's business is already unclear, and once it loses power, the consequences are worrying.

She looked around, made eye contact, and said very firmly, "We will prove our qualifications." ”

Fragile shook her head slightly, "Even if you lose your life in the process of proofing?"

Seth nodded vigorously, "Well, even if you don't say it, we can guess." ”

"Heh-

But I still have to remind you that once you start, you can't go back, so it's not too late to change your mind. ”

The fragile brothers waited silently for a while before continuing: "Some proofs take a lifetime to practice. Momentary performance doesn't mean anything, and occasional cowardice doesn't mean you're a coward. Many things can only be concluded until the moment of death.

You may not know, or even believe, that death is not the end.

How so?

It is perhaps most appropriate to think of it as an inescapable trial. Don't worry, and don't be afraid, for the good and evil of the world have nothing to do with that judgment.

What determined the outcome of that trial was the path we practiced during our lifetime. There, the predator will not be punished for hunting, because that is how it survives.

And this is your way of survival.

You have not yet realized what power you have stolen, and you have not realized the true meaning of the shadow. It is the reflection of life, the fate that all things cannot escape - death.

From the moment you are born, this shadow will be with you, so that a part of your life has long been there. Perhaps it is because of this that you were able to enter the world of the shadows by chance.

There is no doubt that this power comes from death. If you're not unheard of, then you should know its god name, Night. ”

When they heard the word dark night, Seth and the others' jaws dropped in surprise, and their heads began to buzz......

The Grim Reaper, the Night, has no great reputation in this world, at least compared to other gods. But when the frost still covers the world, it is everywhere. Even if the frost recedes, the chaotic world still can't shake off its shadow.

In my impression, it was more like an unlucky ghost cleaning up the mess, cleaning up the deaths caused by others. It sent out a group of taciturn black-armored knights to clean up and bury the broken corpses that no one wanted to touch.

That's—just a scavenger.

The sporadic night rituals are more like a group of vegetarians who seek inner peace and tranquility. They sing the praises of death because it gives the dead a rest.

Probably, at least they weren't interested in learning about such a deity, such a belief. Even if their unsightly deeds often need to be covered by night.

They are afraid of death, just because they don't want to see that outcome, because they are afraid of the person or thing that can cause it. They know that sooner or later they will come face to face with death, just as the carcass of an animal attracts a scavenging vulture. It's just that at that time, what does it have to do with them when they were alive?

The body will be buried, the soul will be taken away, and many sacrifices say so.

But......

Seth shook her head vigorously, unable to associate the extremely beautiful pair of people in front of her with the death of scavenging. Even more skeptical of the claims of predators in their mouths.

Brother Fragile, although not very well versed in the world, also noticed something unusual. In their impressions, Bran is definitely a character who can make people smell and change......

In front of you—

It's also a color change, right, but how does it feel wrong?

......

A crisp and wild laugh came from the inn, and it was Dia laughing. Vincent, who was on the side, was quite serious, at least he didn't laugh out loud.

The heavens and the earth have changed......

This world –

These worlds –

Already few people know that the horror behind death......
