In the middle of the night, the robbers with torches broke into the village of wild dogs, and the whole village was once again driven out like wild dogs, and they were driven to the outside of the church gate in despair and screams, waiting to be sent down by the robbers.

The empty village, the cries and begs of the villagers, and the laughter of the robbers, sounded like crows outside the church door, and the sobbing village women were kicked to the ground, and the farmer, who looked like five big and three thick, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and let the robbers beat and humiliate him and his family.

Loren, who was sitting in the church, stared blankly at the sadistic robbers, and the lowly village chief during the day, who was kicked around like a leper dog, screaming back and forth while begging for mercy.

Ain Rand beside him couldn't bear to turn his head, but Loren didn't even feel the slightest sympathy, nor did he feel much relief, as if the village chief was a leper dog who should be kicked around.

"He's a leper dog!" Martin, the leader of the bandits, smiled with hatred on his face, and played with the old knight's sword: "This damn thing actually wants me to die for him, and then swallow all the treasures to himself, wishful thinking!"

"I've never considered myself a good thing, but it's definitely not bad - the people who help me are friends, and if you go against me, you're going to be unlucky!" Martin smiled generously, and easily untied the rope from Loren and Ain's hands with the old knight's sword: "You see, I'm still quite generous!"

Loren, who let go of his wrist, shrugged his shoulders, it is pointless to say cruel words at this time, even stupid, and when the other party becomes a corpse, he can say whatever he wants.

As for the sneak attack, even if it is really successful, the robbers outside the church will not let themselves go, not to mention how cunning this guy is, he will definitely not let his guard down.

"I warned you before, but you didn't listen, so I should have eaten you alive. ”

"But...... I'm a very generous man, so if you're willing to help me, I'll let you go!" said the bandit leader as he walked up to the statue of the Holy Cross in the church, and smashed it to pieces without hesitation, revealing a staircase that stretched downward.

"Go down, bring me what's inside, and it's all gone. Martin pointed to the bottom of the stairs with his sword, and when he was about to end, he did not forget to threaten: "Otherwise...... I'm not going to give you a second chance. ”

This robber is simply obsessed with money! Ain on the side couldn't help but shout in his heart - this is a pagan temple, and even if there is any treasure, it must have been emptied long ago, leaving behind mostly some wreckage and ruins, or dangerous items such as runes that condense magical power. It's not surprising that some kind of mutant monster lurks!

But...... Seeing the hidden murderous gaze of Loren next to him, Ain still hid his words in his heart, just nodded silently, and followed behind this "wandering knight" silently - Ain himself didn't know why he trusted him so much.

.................. At the end of the staircase was a very ordinary-looking wooden door, but it looked like it was hundreds of years old, and the pagan temple was hidden behind this door.

Loren clutched the doorknob tightly, he knew that Martin was definitely behind him, and if he had the slightest intention of turning around, the blade that had stabbed the old knight would also stab him.

Glancing at Ain Rand, who was also nervous, Loren pushed the door open without the slightest hesitation, and the two of them walked into the deep and dark underground together.

"Wait. Just as Loren was about to raise the torch, the little wizard beside him stopped him directly: "Don't light the fire - I'm afraid this is really the chassis of some pagan god, and the entire cellar is completely eroded by the void!"

"What did you say?"

"That's it...... I'll go back and explain it to you in detail. Ain spoke in a somewhat trembling tone, as if something was staring at the two of them in the dark, and glanced at Loren, who was beside him in disbelief: "Don't you feel it at all?" I feel like my blood is about to freeze, and it's a little difficult to breathe. ”

"There are some, but it's bearable. Looking at Ain's trembling appearance, Loren had no choice but to say this—he didn't know why he didn't feel anything at all, and he couldn't even notice any difference from the outside.

Is it because Ain is a wizard and not himself? No...... If that's the case, the other party won't be suspicious. If that's the case, perhaps the key lies ...... Not from this world?

The little wizard raised his right hand tremblingly, snapped his fingers in a thoughtful voice, and a "firefly" with a flickering white light flew up from that fingertip out of thin air, illuminating the entire cellar.

There were no treasures, no mutated monsters—just a corridor that was so long that there was no end in sight, and the stairs seemed to stretch into the middle of the earth.

"Are we really going down?" Ain's voice was faintly like a mosquito chirping, and Loren didn't even need to look at it, and he could feel that the other party was already afraid.

"You just said that this place was corrupted by the Void...... What do you mean?" an inexplicable strange feeling suddenly came to his heart, making Loren involuntarily begin to be vigilant.

"It means that the space here has been completely distorted, not what it was meant to be. Despite his fear, Ain was still trying to make his voice sound calm, but he couldn't even control his lips: "To put it simply, it's as if we were in someone's dream, and the other person imagined it." ”

"And who imagined this, that pagan god?" Loren couldn't help but turn his head, the door behind him had disappeared for some time, leaving only the same earthen wall as the surrounding corridor.

"Of course you imagined it, my dear friend. ”

This is definitely not the voice of the little wizard! Loren suddenly turned his head at the notice, and Ain Rand, who had been terrified, had become a smiling child.

White blonde hair, neat and neat but small and delicate dress, almost heart-warming face--completely cute boy who couldn't be more cute, but it made Loren feel like falling into an ice cave.

The smiling boy didn't seem to notice the change in Loren's expression: "Everything here is your subconscious - you want to kill the man named Martin in this temple, is there a more suitable place for that kind of cunning robber than a dark corridor with no way out?"

"Who the hell are you, where has Ain gone?" Despite feeling threatened, Loren pretended to be calm, staring at the other man's figure while looking around.

Although he still didn't know what the concept of "space is distorted" was, he knew one thing very well, when he walked into this place, he did imagine that this place might be a corridor.

Who is the other party?

"Oh, don't worry about that wizard apprentice - your friend, Lord Ain Rand is still looking for you in the cellar, I'm afraid it won't be long before you understand what's going on. The young man still had that warm smile on his face, and he replied word by word with his hands behind his back.

"As for me, my name is long and awkward, and you won't want to know it. The boy bowed slightly apologetically, "But you can call me Asrael, my friend." ”

"Oh, you seem hesitant and conflicted, don't you?" Asriel spoke again: "If you were alone, even if you were able to kill the man named Martin and avenge your knight master, it would be difficult to escape from a group of robbers. ”

"I'm not alone. Loren still hasn't let his guard down: "Ain Rand ......"

"With all due respect, Lord Ain Rand is a gifted wizard apprentice, but I'm afraid he won't be of much help to you. The boy shook his head with some regret: "If you want to defeat a cunning robber and his men, you need much more help than that. ”

"As it happens, I have a way to help you - as your friend, I'm also more than happy to reach out to new people, don't you think?"

Looking at the other party's childlike "innocent and warm" smile, Loren was silent for a moment: "I don't believe that there are any coincidences in this world, and I don't believe that you will help me for nothing, so...... Please stop going around in circles, no matter who you really are. ”

"Hey...... I really thought he was too vigilant. Asrael tilted his head childishly: "As for why I want to help you, of course it's because I want to be friends with you." ”

"I still don't believe it. ”

"Then why do you think you can chat with me like no one else, but your wizard friend can't?" the young man playfully raised his chin, "Why are you, an ordinary person who doesn't even know what a wizard is, be able to distort space into what you think in my temple?"

"To the creatures of this world, spirit and matter are completely separated, and it goes without saying that at the slightest touch of yours will melt like mud falling into water. ”

"But you're different, and I know where you're from. The young man was like a nobleman, with his right hand behind his back and his left hand slightly raised, bowing gracefully and smoothly.

"Allow me to extend my heartfelt welcome to you, Your Excellency a stranger from another world!"
