The geography of the Dust Swamp is, as its name suggests, a stinking swamp. Discerning people can spot bogs, wetlands, and other goodies here.

The Underworld is vast, and this is one of the few exits to the Underworld. The whole area is a low-lying transitional zone, connecting the endless sea in the east and the barren land in the northwest. The southern part of the Dust Swamp is close to the Thousand Needles Forest, but a small mountain range runs through it, making it difficult to travel directly. Meadows, reeds, and weeping willows make up the local vegetation.

"So, what's next?" Sinlos sat in the swamp, one hand supporting the shoddy fishing rod and catching fish, while the other hand was holding the black talisman, and fell into deep thought, "The master's meaning should be to let us go to another black dragon leader for a while, for the sake of the black dragon king's face and the relationship between my sister, this black dragon leader should help us this time, but ......"

“…… After all, it's a black dragon, it's too dangerous, I can't bet on it. ”

[Dragon Fire Talisman: Dragons are proud, and they will never be stingy with their anger at the scum who trespass on their territory. But there are always exceptions to everything, and if you look at the mother's face, the princesses are not unable to be accommodating. 】

The idea of the young lich is good, but it is a pity that for Sinloth, any monster is extremely dangerous, and the young lich herself is the best example of this. After suffering a loss, Sinlos never wanted to try that feeling again.

But staying in the swamp, Sinlos is fine, but sooner or later, the bodies of those mortal knights will be overwhelmed. And if you leave the swamp and go elsewhere in the underworld. But he must always face the threat of the Black Dragon Legion.

If you don't do what the lich says, what will you do? The underground world because of the harsh environment. Monsters are still a little scarce, if they really go out along the swamp. Come to the earthly world, that's it...... It's not ten years ago, and he's not alone.

Xinluo put away the dragon fire talisman, took out the small life box in his arms, and rubbed it carefully. The black box in his hand was cold and hard, completely different from that little girl. Xinluo felt it carefully, and found that there were more than a dozen souls preserved inside, but two souls were very special. One of the souls was particularly powerful, and even faintly exuded a faint dragon might. The other soul is a pool of stagnant water. Something important seems to be missing.

It seems that the souls of the Lich's men are preserved here, but unfortunately the souls of the Lich himself are incomplete. Although it is said that the life box is immortal, the lich is immortal. But there is also a noun that says life is better than death. I don't know what happened to that young girl. The only thing that is certain is that she is still alive.

"Love can make people obsessed, two words, including the courtship instinct of living beings. Possession and self-destructive tendencies. She has the sentiment of sacrificing herself for others, and she has the mind of sacrificing others for herself, and she sacrificed heroically for me. Isn't it the best of both worlds for this seat to escape and fulfill each other? Kick oneself. It's really a superfluous emotion, the imprint of a flight. will remain in your heart forever. ”

In the soft children's voice, what is said is cold words. Lord Mozun sat on his father's shoulder. Watching him rub the life box in his hand, I don't know whether it was mockery or comfort. His dark red eyes were full of anger, and he really didn't look like an eight-year-old child at all.

"Assasin, are you reading too much...... People aren't dead yet, what are you cursing people for? ”

After Assasin awakened his bloodline, he became very strange, as if he had evolved from a small milk meow to a middle two meow. The child's mind is dangerous, and she looks like she needs treatment.

However, it seems that the cat did not notice this in the slightest, and when he heard his father say this, he just turned his head away and ignored his stupid father. Although the second is a little bit second, this is really comforting him, right? Being comforted by an eight-year-old child made Xinluos's mood very complicated, did he look so fragile?

"Swamp Leap Swamp Leap!"

"it, Numamo fish! Hurry up and get my rod back! ”

……

Despite its name, if you look closely, you can find a few dry spots. The premise is that you can avoid the ferocious monsters in the swamp and the killing machines under your feet. What appears to be solid flat ground is often an endless abyss. In a terrain like a swamp, even the most seasoned hunter can't be sure if he'll be a part of this rancid swamp with one foot in the air.

Unless you're like Sinloth and have a cheat like Legendary Spells.

Mariana poked her head out of shelter and took a closer look at her surroundings. It was not for nothing that Sinloth chose this place, at least as far as Madame Van Zhuo could see, there were no animals nearby, and there was a dead silence. But her husband's delay in returning still made her feel uneasy.

But it can't be helped, when it comes to the familiarity with the swamp, no one can beat Sinloth. And he is much more flexible when he acts alone than with a large army. Assasin's skills are not bad, and the two of them together should not have any problems - after all, everyone is injured now, and after a night of fighting, they need to rest even more with an uncertain future.

Suddenly, Madame's purple eyes lit up, she endured it, and finally she didn't scream, but just watched from a distance, and the young man in the black robe skillfully bypassed all the traps and slowly advanced towards herself.

Sinloth is back!

……

"It's unfortunate that I didn't catch the Numamoma fish, only these are the ones I caught." Sinloth looked very wolf-like, as if he had rolled around in a swamp many times. And Assasin's state is not much better, and the demon lord covered in mud is hanging on his father's head, venting his frustration. It's just that her father seems to be more depressed than her, "According to Xiao Shizuan, the Numayue fish seems to be very famous, and I don't know what is so special about it, so I really want to try it...... There's no way around it now, so let's use this stupid fish to make up the numbers. ”

The body of the fish, which is the size of two palms of an adult, is mainly earthy yellow, with brown spots on it and three black lines on its abdomen. The dorsal fin is a strange inverted triangle. The serrated tail is grayish-cyan and the mouth is large. There are also dark circles around the eyes. It is worthy of being called a stupid fish, and the little guy who is carried by the straw rope seems to have no idea of the tragedy it is about to face. Just staring blankly at these strange erect creatures.

It was because of this knowledge of the swamp that Sinloth was afraid. The Earl, who knew what was hidden under the swamp, would only choose the relatively gentle way of fishing, rather than using harpoons, lest he alarm the big guys underground.

[Stupid Fish: Ugly and cold in appearance, but very tenacious in vitality. You can eat anything, and you can adapt to the dirty rivers and lakes. But because of their scarcity and ugly appearance. There have been no specific reports on its taste. For the time being, it's just that it's non-toxic. Mariana took the stupid fish from Sinloth's hand and kissed Cynlos on the forehead: "It's good if you can come back, the rest...... It doesn't matter. ”

This stupid fish looks not small, but if ten people eat it, it is still too reluctant. It's just that Sinlos didn't dare to stay in the safe place that he had finally found, and in the prediction of the path, several monsters that didn't look easy to mess with were already wandering around the place where he had just stayed.

For the Earl, the entire Demon Realm is full of malice. He definitely didn't want to be caught by any monster. Even if you add Assasin, you may not have the strength to fight, but ...... Sure enough, safety comes first.

The Count's return was a relief to everyone, and Nanorca's joy did not need to be elaborated. The knights' hearts fell like a boulder. As a knight, he now needs the protection of the feudal king.

Naturally, Sinloth knew what the knights were thinking, and he gave him a little encouragement. After boosting everyone's morale, he said, "...... No matter what. Eat a big meal first and regain your strength. If you want to fight in the future, when you return to Desmond, there are more opportunities...... How are the three of them? ”

"It was terrible, Uncle Andiel was unconscious. I could sense that he was using his will to regulate the xenomorph energy in his body. But how long it will take to wake up is up to him......"

"There's nothing wrong with this kid Ruziano, he just sleeps like a dead dog. This kid's armor was so heavy that I couldn't take it off, and I almost flashed my waist. ”

"Ellie hasn't woken up, but her breathing and heartbeat are normal, and she doesn't seem to have any problems."

Although Roland was complaining, even when facing the black dragon, he did not drop the Ruziano on his back. Mariana, who had a broken right hand, hugged Ellie, her face full of pity. And Nanoka lowered her head and cast a breath seal on Xinluos's body again, and her feelings were very low.

"If Nanoka had learned the magic of strategic destruction like those shelling magicians back then, she would have been able to help her father by now, right?"

Sinloth was speechless, and could only touch her head for comfort. Failing to protect his wife and daughters is actually his sin, the original sin of weakness.

Bite!

The pink furry rabbit polished a spark, and was bounced into the wetland by the force of the shock. Arian Hurd's face turned crimson when he saw the gazes cast by the brushes around him. Mariana's right hand was injured, and the knight naturally wanted to show off her penance's cooking skills in front of everyone, but unfortunately, before she could show off her skills, she also shook the Count's short sword, which was temporarily used as a kitchen knife, away.

"Mistakes, mistakes." Arian Hurd smiled awkwardly and picked up the pink furry rabbit again.

Ding Ding Ding!

But I only heard the light sound of a series of gold and iron strikes, and the dazzling dagger kept swimming around the stupid fish, testing its weakness. But the seemingly weak scales seem to be harder than the shell of a turtle, and even the fish's eyes, which should be fragile, can directly flick the sharp short sword away. The stupid fish's mouth opened and closed, as if mocking the weakness of the female knight.

Of course, it is also possible that the torpedo instinctively reacted out of the water, but someone seemed to think completely differently.

"You bastard...... " The smiling gazes of Sinloth and Mariana directly broke Arian Heard's nerves, and the female knight suddenly took out the sword of victory of the oath at her waist and aimed it at the stupid fish, "This battle will be won!" ”

As Arian Heard recited the Broken Word, the sword of the Sword of Victory of the Oath glowed with a bright golden light. The female knight grinned and aimed the artifact at the stupid fish on the ground. The stupid fish didn't seem to react until then. For the first time, a panicked color appeared in the fish's eyes. It jumped on the ground, trying to escape back into the swamp.

"Blade of Light."

Dozens of tiny rays of light suddenly appeared around the stupid fish. Tied it tightly together. The light that can lightly cut through the apple can completely helpless the fragile fish scales, and can only bring out a trace of sparks. Looks. The hard scales are what the clumsy fish relies on to keep them alive. However, while the Blade of Light could not hurt it, it was enough to tie it up in place.

"Why don't you run again?"

Arian Hurd held his hands high in the midst of the victory of the oath, his face extremely hideous. Acting in front of Mariana and Sinloth at the same time directly exceeded the upper limit of the female knight's shame. Looking at the shadows that were getting closer and closer, the stupid fish's eyes flashed with incomparable despair.

Sinloth himself felt quite strange, why would he read feelings in the eyes of a fish? "Huh...... Wow, I slept so well...... Father. Hey, wait! Sister Arian Hurd don't! ”

……

After three days and three nights of sleep, the blonde angel finally woke up happily. Perhaps the daughter of the demon king was born with the firm will of the monster, and the daughter who had just woken up did not have the slightest darkness in her eyes, and she was still as pure as ever.

But as soon as the girl opened her eyes, she saw the venerable sister Arian Hurd holding a murder weapon aloft and trying to commit violence against a poor fish. The sympathetic little guy naturally immediately stood up and stopped her behavior.

Ellie isn't too dirty. The clumsy girl held the stupid fish in her arms: "Sister Arian Hurd, can you not kill it, this kid looks so pitiful." ”

"This ......"

Arian Heard hesitated and turned his gaze to Sinloth. And Ellie. He also looked at Sinloth with big bright eyes, and there were even cute little stars in his eyes.

[Hungry, you have obtained a precious piece of food, but your lovely daughter can't bear it. The daughter who is too simple does not know the hardships of this world. But in the face of a pure and immaculate daughter, you don't want to destroy this rare innocence......]

[1. Even if you take some risks. I can catch fish again. And what I want to protect is this pure and immaculate beauty. No matter how big the price is. I will also ......]

[2. The weak eat the strong, either life or death. Ellie will understand this truth one day, and the connivance at this time is only to lay the foundation for the future. 】

"Sister......

"But this fish looks delicious." When Sinloth hesitated, Assasin jumped off Sinloth's shoulder and began to persuade his father from the cat's point of view, "Anyway, it's just a fish, if my sister likes it, I'll catch a few more for you in the future." ”

The cats crouched on the ground, drooling at the stupid fish bound by layers of blades of light. Fanzhuo's third daughter took off the scimitar on her back and stabbed the fish in her sister's arms. As if confirming the freshness of the fish, the cat pulled the corner of his father's clothes, showing longing: "Father, this seat wants to eat sweet and sour carp." ”

There's not even salt here! You stupid cat!

Ellie was teary-eyed, Assasin was wistful, and Nanoka was in a dilemma. Sinloth looked at his daughters, hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the pink furry rabbit and walked outside. Maybe he is indeed too indulgent to Ellie, but the child can teach slowly, and he is not in a hurry at this time.

"Honey!" Mariana jerked to her feet and blocked Cynroth, "It's so late, do you still want to go out alone, it's too dangerous!" ”

Like the beasts, monsters at night are always much more dangerous. For Mariana, her husband's safety always comes first. And Arian Hurd stood in front of him, preventing him from leaving. Bismalco bent down, and the chief knight stroked Ellie's little head, and said as gently as possible: "Miss, this fish is very important to everyone, and you don't want the Earl to go out and encounter danger, right?"

"But ......"

Father and mother were in a stalemate for a while, and Ellie, who had just woken up, didn't quite understand what was going on. The dumb girl just vaguely felt as if she had done something wrong. The girl was teary-eyed and looked very sad: "Woo......"

The scene fell silent for a moment, and at this moment, the stupid fish in Ellie's arms suddenly spoke. The voice of a weak girl echoed in everyone's hearts.

"That, that...... Can you let me go? If I just want to eat, I still have a lot of them at home. (To be continued......)
