"Let's see, let's see if there is any secret in you that can arouse our interest and save your own 'life'. Ignoring the grumbling Tomahawk who stood among the corpses of his opponent because he was too weak, Rhaegar slowly walked over to the leader of the men in black whom he had specially saved from the Tomahawk, and said in the latter's terrified gaze, "Now, first of all, tell me who you are. ”

The leader of the men in black looked at the mage in front of him hesitantly, the desire to survive and the cruel punishment to stop him made him hesitate to choose, and he quickly paid the price for this hesitation - Rhaegar waved his hand lightly, and as a red light submerged into his body, the leader of the men in black suddenly felt an indescribable itch hit his body. He moaned loudly, and the itching sensation that penetrated deep into his bones made him feel the urge to cut off all the flesh and internal organs of his body with a knife.

"It's just an appetizer," Rhaegar said, "and I wouldn't mind greeting you with a big meal if you refuse to cooperate." He chanted the incantation softly, and a green 'color' light gradually appeared above his palm.

"We are the people of the Black Night Regiment. The leader of the men in black gasped and shouted at his loudest voice, "My name is Sano and I am the squadron leader of the Black Night Regiment. ”

"I've heard of that group," says Heim, "and they specialize in finding and digging up ancient ruins and treasures on the continent – and of course, they don't mind making a cameo appearance as a thief or a killer if someone gets ahead of them in the process, or if something else lucratively happens." ”

"Second question," Rhaegar waved his hand, removing the spell from Sarno's body, and then asked, "What is the relationship between that 'elf' spirit and you?

"He's not from the Night Order," Sano said, "he's just a representative sent by the Elves to work with us - you know, this is the original location of the Elves Kingdom, and no one knows this place better than the Elves, who want to find the treasures of their ancestors, and we need money, it's as simple as that." ”

"How many of you came, and why did you suddenly think of coming back and attacking us?" Willy interjected, "Don't try to lie to us, that would be a disaster for you." The crystal ice cube slowly appeared in her hand, and the cold air that 'forced' people and the ice cube that gradually 'pressed' her eyes made Sano shiver.

"We've got two brigades here," said Sano hurriedly, "about two hundred men, half the men of the Nights, entering the jungle from six different directions—it's too dangerous here, and even with the map in hand, we're not willing to put all our bets on one path." He flinched and stepped back a little, trying to stay away from the sharp ice, "We have an obstacle ahead, a terrible beast is in the way, we can only try to go other ways, and the 'elf' spirit has asked us to kill you along the way—there are only two ways in this area, unless you plan to exit, since we haven't found you on the path you came, we will surely find your traces on this path." We don't want to provoke unnecessary enemies, but you know that these 'elves' are far more familiar with the jungle than we are, and it would be difficult for us to navigate the jungle without them. ”

"A good excuse," Tomahawk's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "How about you 'hand' him over to me when you're done asking?" The dwarf licked his fat lips and smiled.

Sarno, who had seen how the other had turned his men into mutilated corpses on the ground one by one, was frightened by the smile, "Don't hurt me," he begged loudly, "I'll be useful to you." ”

"I don't see how useful you're going to be. Willy's ice moved closer to Sarno's eyes, "You've already told us everything you know, even if you have companions, do you think we'll care about them?"

"Of course you don't care," Sano said hurriedly, as if afraid that the terrible ice cube would stab him in the eye if he slowed down a little, "but it's not just my companions who came, in fact, we're just an advance team, and the 'elves' are the main force this time, to be exact, we're just the helpers they hired to dig up the ruins, and these haughty and cleanliness creatures won't put down their bodies to do what they think is a lowly job." ”

The friends glanced at each other, and after years of living and fighting together, they had an incredible understanding with each other, and when Rhaegar gestured to Sano that he was not telling the truth, a plan came to everyone's minds, and it turned out to be very effective.

"Now tell us the details," Rhaegar said, "I have to warn you that lying in front of a mage is definitely something that only a fool would do. Of course, you can also try it again but I must tell you beforehand that you will find that death will be a luxury for you - I will keep you awake and then gnaw at your body little by little with the summoned poisonous worms, this process will last at least a day, you will watch your body gradually turn into a skeleton, and even then, you will not die, my magic will delay your death for at least three days. ”

In the light of the moon, Sano's originally swarthy face suddenly turned whiter than snow, and his body trembled uncontrollably, even in his voice, "I will tell you everything I know," he said, "whatever you want to know." ”

"Good," Rhaegar said with a smile, "now tell me everything you know, whatever that is." ”

"They're mad," said Heim, "the white-robed spirits have gone mad, and they want to use this method to reign." "The 'spirit' who had heard everything Sano had told muttered to himself in disbelief, and the whole person was completely surrounded by shock.

"It's normal," Rhaegar didn't feel about Rhaegar, who had seen countless of the same things as a god, "intelligent beings always change their beliefs because of circumstances, and for them, profit is often more important than tradition. Since red-haired spirits can change their minds after being banished, white-robed spirits will also change their minds in order to achieve their goals. ”

"But that's the resting place of countless ancestors," Heim looked a little agitated, and the geist's calmness on the matter made him feel somewhat angry, "even if they lose their faith, ancestors are still the objects that every intelligent race needs to look up to, they are the roots of their descendants, whether they are humans, 'elves' or dwarves, or even those orcs, no intelligent creature would be so mad as to try to offend their ancestors." ”

Chapter 32: The Forgotten Jungle (7)

"This may be an opportunity for us," Rhaegar ignored the reaction of the 'elves', he understood the latter's feelings, but that did not mean that this spirit would accommodate the other party because of this, he keenly saw the opportunities hidden in the plans of the white-robed 'elves' for himself and others, "White Robes" The spirits do not know the true strength of the spirit of thunder, they underestimate this existence and its men, this plan has almost no chance of being realized, but it can maximize the power of the spirit of thunder and lightning, thus creating a fighter for us. ”

"I will not let my ancestors be disturbed," Haim said word by word in a tone that had never been more resolute than ever, as he looked into Rhaeggar's eyes, "even if I gave my life for it or gave up this operation, I would never allow anyone to disturb the rest of the warriors who died to protect their fellow citizens." ”

"They weren't there," Rhaegar said calmly, "their souls have long since gone to the underworld, and all that remains there is now is a shell that has turned to dust—and perhaps some of the power of the remnants of the will." ”

"It may be true for an undead," the Spirit interrupted him unceremoniously, "for they are long since departed from this world, but it is very different to those who are alive, flesh and blood. ”

"Hey, you idiot!" "Do you know what you're talking about?" the grumpy dwarf angrily jumped onto a thick stump so that Haim could see his eyes, "You're insulting your friend!"

"That's right, he's an undead indeed," Willy walked over to Rhaegar and unabashedly hugged one of his arms, "but he did far more than any pretentious intelligent being. ”

"Indeed," said Heim, who had always been calm and wise, as if his temperament had suddenly changed, "for a fool immersed in love, even a skeleton in front of him would be cuter than the most handsome knight." ”

Rhaegar didn't join in the argument, he just stayed still, allowing his friends to attack each other with what could be described as vicious, his eyes flashing as if he was thinking about something.

"If you're willing to keep arguing like this, I don't mind turning you all dumb. After a few minutes, the geist who had finally found the clue waved his hand, making it impossible for anyone to make a sound. "You're right," he said to Heim, "an undead, that's the best way to describe me, thank you for reminding me." He regained the ability to speak, "In that case, I hope you can fulfill your wish, and we shouldn't have the opportunity to meet again." He turned to Willy and Tomahawk, "You can choose to go with him or come with me." At the same moment as he said this, Rhaegar turned around and strode out into the jungle.

"You're going to regret what you said and did today. Willy said calmly, and then walked past Haim and chased after Rhaegar without looking back.

"As a friend, I am ashamed of your words today. Tomahawk said viciously, spat on the ground, and ran briskly towards his two companions.

Heim did not react to his companions' actions, but simply watched them depart, and as they disappeared from sight, the 'spirit' spirit seemed to be 'provoked' by something, and suddenly turned around and sped into the depths of the jungle.

Heim, who was in a hurry, didn't notice that not far behind him, his three companions, who were supposed to leave, were watching his movements under the cover of magic.

"He's been subjected to some kind of ***," Rhaegar said, "This kind of *** specialized 'door' is directed against the bloodline of the 'spirit', so even a strong-willed person like him can't resist it." He looked at where Heim had disappeared, "Let's follow." "He took the lead in chasing the 'spirit' spirit in the distance.

It was an inconspicuous tree, and although the height of more than ten meters and the trunk that at least four big men could hold on to fully illustrate the tree's antiquity, in this jungle, its size and age were only medium, and no one paid special attention to it, and at this moment, Haim was standing motionless under the tree, and from that attentive look, he seemed to be listening to something.

"What is he doing?" Looking at Haim's strange behavior from afar, Tomahawk couldn't help but ask, "Is he going to stand like this all night?"

Before Rhaegar could answer, Haim had already given the answer to the question - the Spirit drew his sword and cut a wound in his arm, and the green blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground at the base of the tree. Almost as soon as his blood touched the ground, a dark 'hole' appeared at the base of the tree, and Heim, who seemed to have received some kind of instruction, stepped into it without any hesitation.

"Welcome, descendant of the Spirit Royals," a voice rang out as Heim entered the 'hole' in the tree, "I've been waiting for you for thousands of years. ”

This voice also woke up the controlled Heim, "You 'brought me' here?" He vigilantly looked at the soft light but empty space in the 'hole', the power from Aror's bow in his body was quietly circulating, ready to strike, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions," the voice said, "In fact, my creator has set orders that make it impossible for me to do any harm to a 'spirit' spirit royal family, I just don't want your companions to set foot here—they are from low backgrounds and are not qualified to enter this sacred place." ”

"They are my friends. Heim said.

"Friends?" the voice seemed surprised by Heim's statement, "You call those low-level creatures friends, could it be that the great 'elf' spirit royal family, the leader of the noblest and most powerful race on the continent, has forgotten who he is?"

"They are my friends. Heim emphasized again, his gaze scanning the space, searching for the source of the voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

An invisible pressure suddenly appeared around him, firmly restraining his movements, and then, more than a dozen green 'color' rays of light, which were completely different from the soft light in the space, 'shot' from different directions, hit Haim's body.

"You are a traitor!" "The voice that was originally full of nobility and calmness suddenly became extremely angry, "A 'spirit' spirit royal clan is actually in the company of those lowly races, you should be ashamed of your actions!" The 'spirit' spirit sword will always belong only to the pure royal family, and those who defile the glory of the royal family do not deserve the divine sword. ”

The scorching power poured into Haim's body along the green 'color' light, and the heat that burned everything rampaged through his body, wantonly destroying all the organs he encountered, "The betrayer must be punished!" the voice screamed, and the light became more intense, and the 'spirit' body began to flicker with a faint light, which was a sign that the external energy inside was about to overflow into the body.
