The giant's last words were obviously very touching to Skeletron, for whom perhaps only death is the real relief, but unfortunately, there are not many people who dare to face death head-on, including the undead.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to Shadow Isle? Skeletron didn't forget Aix, and after killing the giant, he turned his head to look at Aix. If Ax was able to escape in the hands of giants, in front of Skeletron, Ax didn't even have the idea of running.

"My name is Aix, and I'm here because Hammerstone captured a friend of mine." Aix honestly explained that his attitude was surprisingly good, like a student answering a teacher's question.

"Don't you know that the people who were caught by the hammer stone have never been released?" Skeletron was obviously a little surprised when he heard Aix's reason, in front of Lucian's example, there were still people who dared to come to Hammerstone to ask for someone, do you think your face can be bigger than Lucian's?

"How do you know if you don't give it a try? I'll admit that I'm not as strong as Lucian, but that doesn't mean I don't have other strengths, and this time it was Hammerstone who invited me to Shadowisle. Aix didn't hide anything this time, and directly explained all his situation.

"Hammerstone's invitation? Doesn't he know that the person he captured is your friend? "Skeletron can only think of this possibility, and that is that Ax conceals his identity and befriends Hammerstone, trying to wait for an opportunity to save people.

"No, he knows my purpose." Aix shook his head and said.

"Funny little one, you told me this because you wanted me to let you go?"

"Of course, I don't want to die here like this, and I don't even have a body collector." Aix didn't quibble, but told the truth.

Skeletron didn't continue to ask questions, because the next thing was up to him, but Ax was very calm, as if he didn't care about his life or death at all, and even had time to admire Skeletron's white jade-like bones.

Skeletron's soul fire kept beating, and his empty eyes without any flesh and blood stared at Ax, as if they wanted to see Ax through.

"Okay, I can let you go, but I'm interested in your plan for nine, so I'd like to see how you are nine." After Skeletron finished speaking, his hands clasped directly on his eyes, and when his fingers touched his soul fire, a pinch of flame jumped onto Skeletron's fingers.

"This is my hero's soul, you eat him so that I can feel all your senses, and of course, if you lie to me, this pinch of flame will be enough to burn you to ashes." With that, Skeletron threw the flame in his hand towards Aix.

Ax caught it without any hesitation, and then, without even looking at it, threw it directly into his mouth. "Okay, can I leave now?"

Skeletron's decisive action made Skeletron stunned for a while, this kind of thing of putting his life in the hands of others Ax actually did it so cleanly, without any mud and water, not even bargaining, this is the first time Skeletron has encountered it.

However, Skeletron thought about it carefully and understood that Aix's life at this time was in his own hands, and if he was unhappy, he could pinch Ax to death at any time, and in front of the gamblers who had already lost everything, no matter how much money he borrowed, he would fight the last.

"Let's go!" Skeletron waved his hand, and seemed to lose interest in continuing, turning back to his quarters.

After Skeletron left, Ax didn't leave, now it's night, who knows what monsters will run out, but Skeletron's territory is the safest for Ax, so Ax plans to spend the night here, and then go to find Hammerstone.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong all night, and even a little undead did not come to disturb Aix, allowing Ax to get a rare good night's sleep. When it was dawn the next day, Ax began his journey again, heading towards the place where the old ape had told him.

Although Shadow Island is not big on the map, it used to be a kingdom, so it is not close to the location of Hammerstone, and even during the day, you will encounter some undead attacks, after all, this is covered in fog all year round, and the visibility during the day is not much brighter than the night in other parts of the Valoran continent.

Ax didn't know how long he had been gone, and during that time, he had been attacked several times, but it seemed that because of Skeletron's heroic soul, he didn't encounter any major trouble, and he made it to the depths of Shadow Island.

Faintly, a church appeared in front of Aix, and this church was Aix's destination.

Hammerstone was a member of the Order before the Curse of Ruin, and as a caretaker of the Order's vaults, and took pleasure in torturing people, perhaps he was the only one who welcomed the Curse of Ruin.

Ax walked to the door of the church and knocked lightly, and before Ax could wait too long, the door of the church was opened, and a thin boy poked his head out and looked at Ax curiously.

The appearance of the boy startled Aix, because the boy was so thin that there was hardly a trace of flesh and blood, but a layer of skin was wrapped around the bones, and his eyes were deeply sunken, which looked extremely terrifying.

"What's the matter?" The boy asked, and the moment the boy spoke, Ax knew that this was not a self-aware person at all, and it was not an undead, but more like a puppet.

Ax did not answer, but directly handed the letter left by the hammerstone to the young man, and the young man took the letter, without even looking at it, directly put it away, and then, completely opened the door of the church, and invited Ax in.

The church was apparently the property of the Order, but now it had been taken over by Hammerstone, and Aix knew that the superstructure was nothing more than a cover-up, and that the real secrets were all in the vaults underground.

Walking through the long hallway, Ax was taken to a study, and then the boy left directly, leaving Ax alone in the study.

The study was very quiet, and no sound could be heard, which was to allow people staying in the study to read with peace of mind, but in the current environment of the Shadow Isle, it seemed a little scary.

Ax waited for a long time, knowing that when the night fell again, the footsteps in the corridor outside actually penetrated in, and it was extremely clear, Ax believed that the person he was waiting for was coming, subconsciously, Ax touched his stomach, I don't know if Hammerstone will find Skeletron's heroic soul.
