“…………………”

Hearing Rod's words, the elf girl in front of her instinctively shrank her body, raised her head a little uneasily and turned to the direction where Rod was. I don't know what it is, but Sherry always felt that this voice seemed to be heard somewhere, which made her a little scared. Because Sherry thinks that Rod will not know her, but there are very few people in the Land of Light who do not know Rode. But she didn't expect that now Rhodes not only recognized herself at a glance, but even called her name, which made Sherry a little frightened, she was stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Little Bubblegum turned her head curiously, looking at Rhodes and then at the elf girl.

"Captain, do you know her?"

"She's from the Land of Light, and I've had a few encounters with her." Rhodes didn't explain much, in fact, he and the elf girl in front of him had only met a few times, and that was when he was in Moon......... In retrospect, if Rod's sword had been a little faster at that time, I am afraid that it would be impossible for this elven mage to stand here and chat with him now——— considering where the two sides are now, maybe killing her in the first place was the best choice?

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Rod stared at the elven girl's closed eyes, on which the suppuration and heavy scars could be clearly seen, but according to Rod's previous memory, this elf girl should not have such a problem at first. Now her eyes were closed, and she looked as if she was badly injured.

"That's, that'......... In the midst of a bloody battle before......... I got a little bit hurt..............."

"Hey............ You survived the bloody battle. ”

Hearing this, Little Bubblegum looked at the elf girl in front of her curiously, looking at her weak appearance, she really didn't expect that she would be able to survive the bloody battle, which was not an easy thing. But soon, little bubblegum nodded, as if she understood something, and said to herself.

"Hmm.................. With the pinnacle level of a master, it's not surprising that he survived. ”

“…………！！”

Hearing Little Bubblegum's words, Sherry shuddered. Before coming here, she had spent a lot of effort trying to hide her strength. But she didn't expect to be seen through by the other party at a glance, and this feeling made Xie Erli very afraid. Of course, she didn't know that these people in front of her were all veterans of the bloody war, and this was not the main material plane, even if it was a random person who was troubled by the devil in the steel fortress, how could he be completely powerless like the main plane——— that kind of person would not be able to survive until now.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat silent. Sherry took two steps back uneasily, not knowing what to say. The canary and little bubblegum looked at her curiously. Rashty closed her eyes and prayed as usual, while Rhodes and Selestina enjoyed the not-so-beautiful scenery outside the window, and Kirudi and Celia did not change in any way. It wasn't until Stefal's arrival that the awkward atmosphere in the room was broken once again.

"Your Majesty Rod, have you already been contacted? We can go right now......... Who is this young lady? ”

Styx.

The only thing in the dry, blood-stained hell is a "river", but it's more than just a "river". Rumor has it that the River Styx carries lost souls and is responsible for sending them where they are supposed to go. And the River Styx is also the only passage that connects the nine layers of hell and the abyss. Whether it's the devil or the devil, if they want to go to war on each other. Then they will take a boat down the River Styx, through the vortex of teleportation to their desired destination. Of course, the River Styx is not as docile as it appears (although it does not look either), and if anyone accidentally falls into the River Styx and drinks the icy water, then he will lose all his memories and become a walking corpse. From the body to the soul, it seems to be formatted, and it is completely blank. Whether it's the devil, the devil, or anything else.

However, among players, the water of the River Styx is quite popular. Because the player is here to play the game after all, it is impossible to become an idiot just by falling into a certain river in the game (otherwise the game would have been harmonized a long time ago), and instead just drink the water of the River Styx. Then the player's level, memory skills, talents, classes, etc. will be reset to zero. Although this is bad news in the eyes of most players, there are also many players who plan to cancel the retraining and use the water of the Styx as a prop to "wash points", because although everything else will be cleared after drinking the water of the Styx, only the physical attributes will not change in any way. Because there are also some players who specifically look for things that can permanently increase their physical attributes, and then drink the water of the River Styx to wash up and clear the level up. As for the so-called demand there is a trade, most players naturally can't come to Hell for a "wash", so those players who have the ability to go back and forth between Hell and the main plane naturally become the best merchants for this trade. And the water of the River Styx does not need to be processed, nor does it need to be excavated, just put it in a bottle and bring it back, which is completely a profitless business.

And now, Rhodes and the others are standing by the river, staring at the small boat that is going down the river in the distance.

It is said that it is a small boat, but it is not too small, although it is not as small as the cruise ships that can carry hundreds of thousands of people in the Rhodes, but it is also slightly larger than ordinary fishing boats, a monster wrapped in a shabby cloak from the whole body, looking like skin and bones from a distance, and the weathered human corpse-like monster is holding a long pole, sliding forward with the ship that looks like a mixture of white bone and human flesh under its feet. It was as smooth as a sleigh speeding on the ice, and soon, it noticed Rhodes and his party standing by the Styx, and then the boatman held the long pole and held it hard, and the boat came to Rhodes and the others quickly and silently.

"Oh oh, what do I see?"

Before the boatman could speak, a devil sitting on the boat opened his mouth and looked at the crowd with an excited smile.

"These inferior students ....................."

"Shut up."

The devil's provocation was interrupted by the boatman's cold words, and he held the long pole in his hand and leaned there diagonally, and under the filthy and ugly cloak, Rod and the others could feel a cold gaze full of darkness and viciousness watching him.

"Hello, dear ferryman."

As Rod's spokesperson, Stefal smiled leisurely and stepped forward to say hello, after all, he had to do things after taking the money.

"You're asking for a boat?"

The boatman coughed at Stefal's words, and Stefal smiled and nodded at the Styx boatman's inquiry.

"That's right, Ferryman, my companion and I are planning to travel to the Abyss Plains, which is why we have come to seek your help. If you can take us through the Casseli to the Abyss Plains in the shortest possible time, we will give you a very good reward..............." As he spoke, Stefal reached out and took out a bright soul gem from his purse, which was so good that even the group of devils sitting on the boat at the moment couldn't help but stir.

"You're well paid."

The boatman shook his body, but his voice did not change. It seemed that all Stefal had in front of him was a rock.

"But I'm sorry, there's not enough space on the boat, so I can only allow four people on board."

"Hey, hey, hey..............."

Hearing this, the devils sitting on the boat laughed proudly, and they looked at the people in front of them one after another, and let out a laugh.

"It doesn't matter, we have a place, and those women don't take up space, do they? As long as I let them sit on me, there will be no problem............ Haha.....................ha

No one spoke to the devil's laughter, only Sherry curled up a little uneasily. And Rod didn't even look at them, if anyone paid attention, they would find that at this moment, the fingers of Rode's hands behind his back moved slightly, and then two cards suddenly appeared, and then turned into two rays of light and shadow and disappeared quickly.

And at the same time, the laughter also came to an abrupt end.

In an instant, two white cloaks flew by, and petite figures emerged from them like ghosts, sharp blades mercilessly piercing the devil's hearts, slitting their throats. In the blink of an eye, before the dozen or so devils who were originally sitting on the boat could react, their flame of life disappeared completely without warning. Then a cold storm howled, and the corpses of those huge devils fell into the River Styx and disappeared. It was only a matter of moments, and the boats on the River Styx, which had been slightly crowded just a moment ago, were already empty.

It was only then that the canary lowered his palm, and Gresil and Madaras, who had quietly appeared on the ship, let out a string of silver bell-like laughter before disappearing again. Stefael, who saw this scene, smiled slightly, and then looked at the boatman in front of him.

"Now, you should have plenty of space, right?"

“………………… Of course. ”

The ferryman standing at the bow of the boat slowly lowered his defensive arms, its ugly, yellow eyes turning, and then let out a shrill laugh.

"Of course, you are welcome to take my boat, and I promise you, I promise, that I will bring you the most comfortable and attentive service." (To be continued......)
