What was Lanaya thinking in her heart, why did she give her power to her mortal enemy? and in such an unreserved way, for fear that she would not accept it? Zero was a little confused in her heart, how much she wanted to die in this female templar, and was her companion so important to her?

Before becoming a saint, Zero was not very gregarious, and after becoming a saint, because of her high position, there were even fewer people who dared to contact her. More than 300 years after her death, she has been alone, she has become accustomed to loneliness, and it is difficult for Zero to empathize with such a strong will to die as Lanaya. But from Hebrew and Lanaya, she felt a breath of fate, and this fateful ending made her very uncomfortable.

Then she suddenly thought of herself, was it a coincidence or fate that she was reincarnated in the Land of Decay to become a Headless Horseman?

Just thinking like this, the envious voice of the ragdoll bear on the side came: "Wow! Young lady, your life is so good! Die against the mind I don't know what kind of wind to smoke, but I actually passed on all my energy to you, in my perception, your energy level has at least doubled, which is equivalent to one or two hundred years less struggle! Death Io is really blind, why can't this kind of good thing be my turn?"

With your mentality, this kind of good thing can't happen to you.

Zero silently glanced at the ragdoll bear, ignored it, hugged Lanaya's body, turned to Ling Mo and asked, "Dad, how does Zero feel...... Somewhat confused. ”

"Nothing to be confused about. These punishment knights, one of them counts as one, in fact, their psychology has already collapsed, but they have to live strong at the thought of taking care of those hanged ghosts. Ling Mo shook his head and said with some emotion: "Although the goals are the same, the beliefs that support them are not the same. Some punish knights to atone for their sins, some to protect the glory of the Knights, and some simply can't let go of their former companions, this Lady Lanaya obviously has a third mentality. ”

"Seeing that all of my companions are completely gone, and that makes it impossible to live? Zero was noncommittal and shook his head: "I think she has some intention of evading her responsibilities, after all, a person has to forage for thousands of hanged ghosts, and these hanged ghosts hate her more than the other, and this kind of day is quite scary to think about." Although he left a lot of relics for Zero, Zero is still not afraid to speculate on the other party with the worst malice. ”

"There's nothing bad about it, dying out is a relief for those hanged ghosts, but why not for those punishment knights?" Ling Mo had obviously lost patience with this topic, and said bluntly: "Okay, this kind of ordinary tragedy is staged on the mainland every moment, there is nothing to be surprised about, let's continue on our way." ”

"Also, I don't have time to take care of myself, how can I have the strength to pity others? The judge of Hades is coming, and it is still unknown whether I will live to see the sun tomorrow. Zero's hand lit up with flames, completely incinerating Lanaya's body, watching the other party's ashes drift away in the wind, Zero suddenly laughed:

"Obviously, my most hated enemy, the three hundred punishment knights, have died completely, and the last remaining punishment knight was killed by my own hands, and the ashes were sprinkled into the sea with the wind, but why don't I have a sense of revenge, but feel heavier in my heart? ”

Ling Mo didn't pay attention to Zero's boring emotion, walked across the moat very casually, climbed the ruined and messy city wall, looked around, suddenly smiled, and said, "These punishment knights are quite good at playing. ”

Zero was a little confused, so he also climbed the city wall, looked down, and was suddenly a little speechless:

Behind the city wall, between the ruins and walls that were destroyed by the cattle, there are colorful decorations everywhere, streamers, balloons, paper cuts, and flower arrangements, which look quite similar to the Children's Day held in the school, and on the innermost booth, there is also a conspicuous red banner with a few gilded characters written on it-

"Congratulations on the official opening of the 233rd Hanged Ghost Tongue Sticking Out Competition!"

Under the banner, there are posted a variety of activity rules, the rules are quite strange, such as whoever sticks out the farthest tongue rewards a chicken leg, who spits the tongue the fastest rewards a piece of tenderloin or something, the most bizarre is the last 'fancy tongue sticking out contest', which hanged ghost tongue is the most flexible, the tongue knot is the most complex and beautiful, will be a wolf hair woven tongue sleeve, in winter can prevent saliva from freezing on the tongue, very practical.

"Is this, are these punishment knights uncomfortable?" Zero's tone was a little crying and laughing, "Or is their life too boring, boring to the point that they can only make fun of these hanged ghosts?" ”

"I felt the opposite of you, and it wasn't until I saw these things that I really had a little respect for these Headless Horsemen. Ling Mo's tone was a little solemn, he slowly walked to the notice board under the banner, stroked it with his hand, and the invisible words drawn by the lines of spiritual power gradually emerged, and Zero took a step forward with a little surprise, and was quickly attracted by the words on the bulletin board:

"The sixth tongue sticking out contest is here, are the regiment commander and deputy regiment leader in their heads? How can they compete with such meaningless activities? Those hanged ghosts can only scream and scream to eat, and they don't even know what is fast and what is long!"

"It's the ninth competition, and today is the most unpleasant day every year, chasing the hanged ghosts to measure how long my tongue is, saliva and mucus stain my body, it's disgusting!"

"Nineteenth, damn it! I was licked to my lips by the hanged ghost when I measured my tongue! I vomited all afternoon, and I haven't slowed down yet!"

"The forty-fifth session, it's still so boring, there's a fire in my heart, I really want to screw off the head of the regiment leader and kick it as a ball!"

"In the 67th session, I asked in the regiment yesterday, and half of the brothers wanted to screw off the head of the regiment commander and kick it as a ball! The brothers are all real soldiers! Even if we die, we can't be asked to do the work that these fools can do, right? But the regiment commander sets an example every time, and he is licked the worst, and it is really difficult to make trouble!"

"One hundred and twenty sessions, I can't stand it! I've endured it for decades! I don't want to get close to those tongues anymore! Even if I have the head of the regiment as an example, I can't do it!"

"One hundred and twenty-seventh, I really can't stand it!! There will be this event next year, we must beat the head of the regiment!"

"One hundred and twenty-eighth, we went to fight the regiment leader, but we didn't win, we were hung upside down under the city gate building, covered with honey, and a group of hanged ghosts below scrambled to jump up and lick 。。。。。。。。。。

It stinks!!!!!"

"One hundred and twenty-nineth, because I didn't win the regiment leader, the tongue sticking out contest started as scheduled, cut! boring. ”

"One hundred and fifty-sixth, it's boring. ”

"One hundred and ninety-seven, boring. ”

"Boring. ”

"Boring. ”

"Boredom ......"

"Two hundred and nineteenth, I can't believe my eyes! The Almighty, Supreme Father has appeared! I haven't even measured it, and the hanged ghost who stuck out his tongue the farthest actually came to me to ask for a reward, look at its hand, that gesture is definitely a gesture of a chicken leg! Oh my God! It's been two hundred and twenty years! Have the hanged ghosts finally understood what 'far and near' is? Are they starting to regain their senses? Isn't it a coincidence? This must not be a coincidence?!"

"Two hundred and twenty years, it's not a coincidence! It's not an exception! There are more and more hanged ghosts who understand the concepts of 'far and near,' 'fast and slow,' and 'thickness'! They have even learned to applaud the hanged ghosts who vomited the most! I was so moved that I almost cried, not my delusion, these hanged ghosts are really recovering their sanity, Io! I didn't shed a single tear before I died, but now I'm already crying!"

"Two hundred and twenty-three, when the first hanged man slurred to us and said 'chicken...... When we ...... the two words, all of us cried! All of us went crazy! Yes, we were crazy! We hugged each other with tears, we toasted each other, we sang and danced! Because we saw the real hope and knew that our road of atonement finally came to an end! From today on, the regimental commander was my own father! The regimental commander was awesome! Whoever dared to oppose the regimental commander would blow up his dog's head!"

"In the two hundred and twenty-sixth class, there are more and more hanged ghosts who produce basic spiritual intelligence, but most of them are strong, and from this year, the 'fancy tongue sticking out' has been included in the official competition of the tongue sticking out competition, aiming to let those hanged ghosts with insufficient congenital conditions participate in it and accelerate the development of spiritual intelligence. The leader of this competition is really a genius! Some hanged ghosts can actually tie three knots with their tongues, awesome! It's just disgusting when they help them untie their tongues, haha!"

"In the two hundred and thirty sessions, there is a hanged ghost who can already check the knot with his tongue! We old fellows who watched it were stunned and wept with tears flowing, this sanity, you can't starve to death if you go to human society to perform, right? Maybe you can be a big star, right? If only the head of the regiment could see this scene, you will definitely cry, you will definitely cry. ”

"Commander, Commander, why are you gone?"

“......”

As the lines of text came into view, Zero felt as if something was blocked in his heart, his body trembled slightly, his nose was a little uncomfortable, he stroked the corners of his eyes, his hands were cold, and his palms were full of tears. She wanted to cover it up, so she opened her mouth in a panic, but her voice was a little choked:

"Huh... I...... What am I—what's wrong ......with me?"

Ling Mo didn't answer, and even the ragdoll bear, who had always thought of Warcraft, rarely didn't open his mouth to mock at this time, but instead looked at the bulletin board with a solemn face. This somewhat relieved Zero, and quickly raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears he had, and after a while, he burst into tears.

In a blur of vision, she seemed to see the burly leader of the Punishment Knights, who was nearly two meters and a half tall, busy in the group of hanged ghosts with the most patient smile, for more than two hundred years, looking forward to her own way to restore the hanged ghosts to their senses, working hard for this almost impossible goal, working diligently on their own path of atonement, getting weaker and weaker.

Hate him! Don't be so useless, he's your worst enemy, hate him!

Zero roared wildly in his heart, warning himself that everything the other party had done was his own fault, who let him deprive others of their lives at will?

Isn't more than 300 years of hard work enough to atone for your sins?

Fate must be so cruel, do you have to let this regiment leader die when the dawn is about to appear?

The two of them were silent under the bulletin board for a while, and the least affected Ragdoll Bear spoke first: "This leader of the Punishment Knights is really a ruthless person. If it weren't for the fact that he was dead, I would have liked to see him and have a drink with him!"

Ling Mo nodded slightly, glanced at Zero, didn't want to continue the topic, and then stood at the head of the city, pointed to the opposite side of the canyon, and said:

"Because they have to feed so many hanged ghosts, the punishment knights are very particular about the place they chose to build the city. Do you see the sparkling waves more than a dozen kilometers away? It is actually a sea, a long and narrow strait to be exact. Located at the confluence of the cold current of the northern cold zone and the warm current of the subtropics, the fishery resources are very abundant, and a large part of the food problem of the hanged ghosts can be solved by fishing alone. ”

"And this strait is also the dividing line between the South Rotten Land and the North Rotten Land, and across the strait, on the opposite side is Raccoon City, which is our destination. Of course, if you don't cross the strait and are carried down by the currents, drifting more than 2,500 kilometers, you can go straight to the Molten City and admire the heroic appearance of the Golden Fortress. So, don't delay any longer, let's get out ...... right away."

As he was explaining, suddenly, the magic eye elf produced by the system made a slight buzzing sound, and a long-lost dialog box popped up in Ling Mo's vision:

"The official ID 'Katos Windwhisperer' asked to talk to you, do you accept it?"

Katos?

Oh, by the way, isn't he the father of his second apprentice, Vess, the unlucky guy who accidentally overtook his sister......?

While thinking, Ling Mo connected to the conversation, and sure enough, a light curtain popped up, and the image was not yet stable, and Katos, who was excited about the cute image of Xiao Zhengtai in the picture, couldn't wait to speak:

"Mr. Ling, we have met several times, so I opened my mouth directly, that bulletin board, which recorded the glorious deeds of the heroes of our Sky Splitting Sect, is worthless to others, but it has extremely great symbolic significance to our sect. Our people want to rush over and recover it as soon as possible, but after all, it will take a day or two, and the city is now unprotected, and it is very likely to be destroyed by the demonic beasts that have strayed in, so can you please keep it on your behalf? As long as you agree, the past grievances will be written off, and at the same time, it will also provide a rich return!"

"Oh, rich, how rich?"
