"Merchant?"

The corners of Sawyer's mouth twitched.

With that said, the proprietress must be the most successful businessman in this world.

Then again, what is the name of the proprietress exactly?

Sawyer frowned suddenly, since he arrived at the intermittent stronghold three days ago, he had been calling each other by the three words "boss lady", and the people around him were the same, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but after calming down, Sawyer immediately noticed that something was wrong.

If the travelers in the past don't know the name of the proprietress and can only be called by the word "proprietress ", then the "cleaners" in the tavern, the uncle in the shop next door, and the members of the patrol team also call the proprietress like this.

"Strange hostess."

Sawa shook his head, no longer entangled in this problem, instead of entangled in the secret of a powerful proprietress, it is better to calm down and retreat, break through the peak of the legend as soon as possible, and let the grasp of passing through the rift in time and space be a little greater.

Thinking like this, Sawa took out a crystal coin and began to cultivate—the intermittent stronghold was also a kind of gray mist stronghold, and there was no energy in the stronghold that could be cultivated.

And in a gray fog stronghold extremely far away from Sawyer, Gregory couldn't stop wailing.

"Oh, Colin, I may not be able to do it, not even your medicine can cure me!"

Gregory held Colin's hand and said in a deep voice, which suddenly made Colin's eyes red, and Hall next to him became even more silent.

Now, a month has passed since Gregory said goodbye to the witch, and under the power of the witch, Gregory was teleported directly from the tower of the central ring to the teleportation hall of the sapphire ring, and met Cory and Hale who were waiting there.

Originally, Gregory and the three of them wanted to go to the core area of Blue City to find Sawyer, but I don't know if the witch forgot it, or deliberately didn't say it, anyway, he didn't explain Sawyer's origin to Gregory from beginning to end, and Gregory felt that it was necessary for him to ask Sawyer in person.

However, after the three of them entered the core area, they only saw the sapphire king Rowena waiting there, and was told that Sawyer had left the ring city and went to the intermittent camp, Gregory originally wanted to catch up, but was persuaded by Rowena's casual nonsense "Follow the witch's guidance", in Gregory's opinion, the witch's guidance is the supreme order, Sawyer must have carried some important mission, and could not join him.

As a result, Gregory gave up his plan to find Sawyer, re-recruited a team, and embarked on a journey to defeat the Expelled King.

At the beginning of the journey, due to the proximity to the Sapphire Ring City, the strength of the gray beasts and black beasts encountered was not too strong, but as Gregory's team went deeper and deeper into the gray fog, the enemies encountered became stronger and stronger, and finally, the night before, they encountered a high-level black beast that they could not match.

The dragon-headed python, the dragon blood species with the strongest combat effectiveness among the berserk beasts, is almost comparable to the great knight of the five rings!

Just a face, the dragon-headed python devoured two warriors, and another flicked its tail and smashed an archer to death, and the mercenaries hired by Gregory suddenly scattered, Gregory wanted to rush up and make a reckless wave, but he was blown away by the dragon-headed python's breath, and his whole body was covered with corrosive acid, if it wasn't for Corey's timely treatment, maybe this life would have been lost.

But fortunately, the breath of the dragon-headed python seriously injured Gregory at the same time, but also affected a tree-like mutated plant, the corrosive acid in the breath immediately provoked the strange tree, countless branches grew wildly, but in the blink of an eye, the nearly 100-meter-long dragon-headed python was trapped, and while the two monsters were fighting, Gregory and the three of them supported each other and escaped.

In fact, Gregory's injury this time was not too serious, but for some reason, the "Corey brand potion" that had been tried and tested before lost its effect, and Gregory rested for two days, but the injury on his body did not improve much.

After discussion, everyone thought that the dragon-headed python's breath contained some kind of substance that had eroded into Gregory's body and was constantly hindering the recovery of the potion, but if Sawyer had done it again, he would definitely have given them a pair of white eyes.

Where is the erosion of unknown substances, it is simply because Gregory did not kill the enemy, and if he did not kill the enemy, naturally there is no gift of the will of the world, only with the potion configured by Corey, this recovery speed is normal!

The oppressive silence lasted for half an hour, except for Gregory's moans from time to time, neither Corey nor Hall said a word, Hall was habitually silent, and Corey only had Gregory in his eyes on the hospital bed, looking at Gregory's painful appearance, he had long lost interest in speaking.

In the end, Hall threw down the sentence "I'm going to find someone", and left the room, the battle the day before yesterday, all the mercenaries they hired ran away, but in the past two days, people have come to this gray fog stronghold, it is best to take advantage of the fact that they are not many now, and reconvene them, if the number of these mercenaries is too large, who knows if they will obey the leadership of a group of "losers" again.

Shortly after Hall left the room, the moans in the room became quieter, and as his breathing became more and more steady, Gregory fell into a dream......

In the dream, Gregory saw a bonfire, the flames of which were not vigorous, and even had a feeling that they were about to be extinguished.

Gregory had done this dream many times, and like the previous dreams, Gregory just quietly watched the campfire, but his heart was full of depression because of his previous failures, and he had the urge to vent.

At this moment, a realization suddenly welled up in Gregory's heart, he untied the black spiral sword from behind his back, and plunged into the bonfire, and in an instant, the flames in the bonfire rose into the sky, and a figure also walked out of the flames.

"Witch-sama? Why are you in our dreams? ”

Gregory was a little surprised, could it be because he had too many questions to ask the witch, so he saw the witch in his dream?

"O chosen one, you are finally here."

The witch bowed slightly to Gregory, as if she saw Gregory's doubts, and explained with a smile: "This is not a dream, but a place where the real fire is, a special space, and now you don't have the ability to enter here, so you can only be guided to put your consciousness into this space." ”

Gregory was even more confused: "This is not a dream? And what about the previous ones? Why ......"

"Because the sword, that is the proof of the flame, and it is it that has led you here, the heart of the world, the place where the flame first burns, and the source where hope flows."

The witch patiently explained, but Gregory only understood a small part: "That is, you will only show up if I stick the spiral sword into the campfire?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that for you."

The witch still bowed slightly, smiling, but there was a little more helplessness in her tone.
