Seeing that the scene was finally under control, Arrow couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Mr. Buzz Macaroon!" You must be in terrible mental condition right now! I also know you may have a lot to say about our Mermaid Song! But we can talk about anything, we can completely lay down the weapons of both sides and sit down and have a good discussion! ”

Faced with the interception of the flower fairy, Buzz had to retreat.

He turned his head sharply, and his eyes began to reveal a little bloodshot because of nervousness and excitement. He gritted his teeth, his eyes constantly looking around like wounded beasts trying to escape. After a moment, his gaze suddenly turned to the lake to the west of the town, and also through the lake, looking at the Eternal Sleep Mountains that surrounded the entire lake......

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, we will die together! ”

He let out a loud cry and grabbed Coco's neck with one hand, and the huge palm seemed to crush the little girl's slender neck in an instant with a little force.

Before the Merfolk Song and the Flower Elves could surround him, the paladin didn't hesitate to rush towards the west.

People are on the run, and the guild is chasing.

The people in Pelican Town still follow cautiously.

On today's drizzling day, everything seems to be gray.

Close to the lake, Iero could even see the ripples on the calm, mirror-like surface of the lake.

Hidden Lake...... For almost a year, I've been trying not to get close to this place. But now, I came here again with the mermaid song, and it looked very peaceful...... Even a somewhat scary place of tranquility.

"Get out of the way! All! All of them! ”

With his back to the Hidden Lake, Buzz still shielded Coco's body with the tower shield in his hand, and stuck one hand on the little girl's throat.

The rain from the sky continued to fall, and such a thick curtain of rain caused a layer of mist to naturally rise on the entire hidden lake, so thick that it was even difficult to see the outline of the mountains on the other side of the lake.

The townsfolk fanned in the distance, whispering and watching.

As for the mermaid song of the party, it stood in front of the team, and all the members also formed a fan, slowly walking towards the paladin.

"Mr. Buzz Macaroon, if you have something to say, can you come back from the water's edge first? The water in the lake is different shades, so if something happens to you, it's not good......"

Arrow tried to keep his face full of smiles, and he always had a very ominous premonition as he watched the water vapor on the surface of the lake that seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

"Don't even come! No one is allowed to come! You're all going to get back of way! Whoever dares to take another step will kill this damned necromancer! ”

Now Bass has gradually lost the calm expression in his eyes early in the morning.

His eyes began to become very cloudy, and the expression on his face began to become hideous.

If you hadn't really seen his power, who would have imagined that the person in front of you was such a powerful paladin?

Mrs. Macaroons is now also looking at her husband with her arms tied behind her back by the townspeople. He watched as Bass's feet were already stepping into the water, letting the rippling water reach his knees.

"Get me a boat! I want a sturdy boat! I'm going there...... I knew I had to go there! ”

Buzz roared loudly, his eyes beginning to turn a little white and bulging like a dead fish. Likewise, his cheeks were bulging out right now, as if something was about to grow out from under his throat and break through the human skin that bound everything......

Seeing that the two sides were about to fall into a point where they could not communicate, Arrow's expression became even more solemn. He turned his head and discussed with the cheese beside him, who nodded slightly, then slowly backed away into the crowd.

But at this time......

"I want to see that vampire! That vampire! Don't want him to disappear from my eyes! Let him stand up! ”

At this moment, Buzz opened the tower shield slightly, revealing the appearance of Coco's neck stuck inside.

Cheese, who was about to disappear into the crowd, was slightly stunned, and could only walk back to Arrow's side.

"Mr. Bass, I'll help you arrange the boat now. But...... Can you tell me where you want to go? There is only the Eternal Sleep Mountain Range over there, and on the other side of the mountain range is the Forbidden Land, where do you want to go? Don't...... Shouldn't you want to go home and get out of here with your wife? ”

Arrow hoped to use words to arouse the paladin's thoughts as much as possible, perhaps his words had some effect, and the paladin, who had begun to show a pair of dead fish-like eyes, was also stunned, staring blankly at the people in front of him.

"I ...... Where do you want to go? yes, where do I want to go? …… No, I want to go home...... I have a home and I know ...... It was clear to me that I had a place I wanted to go back to...... That home...... That place...... That's where I really belong......"

This state is a little bad, Arrow was shocked, and hurriedly said loudly: "It's not right! That's not where you belong! Your place is on your wife's side! Think of your wife! Think of your father! You're a paladin! Buzz macaroon, you are a paladin with dignity of your own! You have your own pride! No one in this world can take the initiative to tell you where you should go, only you can decide where you should go!! ”

Although, Eero kept shouting loudly.

Even, his loud shout had begun to make the surrounding townsfolk feel a little strange, and also made the guild members show some puzzled expressions.

But he still had to shout incessantly, hoping to make his voice as strong as possible through the barrier of a strange, hitherto unknown force, and reach the paladin's mind......

"Ah...... I heard that...... Oh, yes...... You're right...... You're really right......"

But with Arrow's shout, a happy smile gradually appeared on Buzz's face.

He raised his head, looked up at the mountain range behind him, as if he was talking to someone close at hand, nodded, and said slowly—

"yes...... I should go to your side...... I understand...... I belong to you...... I will not betray...... I will show you absolute loyalty...... This is my mission...... It is only now that I have discovered that it is my most privileged mission to be your servant......"

As he spoke, his steps began to recede continuously. Gradually, the splash of the Hidden Lake had spread to his waist and to Coco's chest in his arms......

"Cocoa ——!!!"

Seeing that the situation was dire, Arrow knew he could no longer hesitate. He shouted, and immediately rushed forward! With the president's signal, the members of the Mermaid Song on both sides also immediately took action, and launched a final charge towards this paladin in unison!

"I am your servant...... I will serve you...... In return, you will give me your great power...... Yes...... Gift...... Gift...... The Never-Ending Gift ......"

Tower shield, raised.

Once again, a golden glow appeared on the shield. At the same time, the small golden light circle spread out in the middle of the lake at the feet of this paladin. Only this time, it seemed that the lines that formed those circles were no longer those golden rays. At first glance, it seems that some twisted and swollen tentacles, through entanglement and twisting with each other, form the source of this paladin's power......

"Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares that devour me, I will dedicate my flesh and blood to serve the supreme You with my soul, to be the forerunner of the greatest beings, and the spokesperson of the greatest eras."

"Gifts, gifts, never-ending gifts. My life will last forever, and all that I have will be eternal. Power will be the most insignificant of things, and magic will never be meaningless. ”

The golden tower shield, at that moment, turned into darkness. A flesh-and-blood light shrouded it, blooming with the most eerie and shuddering purple!

It was also at this time that ......

In the thick mist behind the "Paladin", something suddenly flashed out, approaching him at an extremely fast speed!

With the rapid approach of that thing, the "Paladin" also sensed the existence behind him at the last moment! He turned around suddenly, and the dark red flesh light on the tower shield also emitted a terrifying light!

The next moment, the mist was separated.

And with the mist being torn apart......

But it's a hand.

A hand with a missing ring finger.

————

Six hours ago.

Darkness still envelops the whole world.

In the dark room, only the drizzle from the window seemed to prove that the world was still functioning normally.

It's just that for the man in this room, time seems to have stood still.

Whoa-whoa-whoa

The rain crashed against the windows, and there were bursts of nasty sounds.

Cream had been sitting in this position for an unknown amount of time, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting here.

He was afraid of sleep...... Because as soon as he closed his eyes, the sound of the two wooden knives seemed to break into his dreams endlessly, constantly whipping and insulting himself.

The power of nature?

The power of nature...... Is it such a noisy, so tiresome sound?

Cream doesn't know.

The only thing he knew was the emptiness and hesitation in his heart, and the nightmare of not knowing when it would be an end.
