Mount Goribatu, the edge of the central mountain range, is home to the dwarven city of Moscow Anko, which has been excavated for thousands of years and has long since hollowed out the interior of this high mountain that is famous for its dwarves.

The criss-crossing stone bridges are distributed throughout the interior of Mount Batu. At the base of Mount Batu is a structure similar to that of the city of Kuskes, and the passage through which the ore is transported occupies the space at the bottom of Mount Batu. In the upper layer of Mount Batu is the place where the dwarves live and store ores and gems. And in the middle of Mount Batu is the location of the Dwarven King's Route, where Karl once walked.

On either side of the King's Road stand the famous heroes of the Dwarven history, and the giant statues are lifted by stone pillars that stretch upwards from the base of Batu Mountain. At the end of the King's Avenue, the Dwarven Throne proclaims the supreme authority of the Dwarven King, Xos Stormhammer.

At this moment, in front of this king, there is a charred "corpse", which is the "corpse" of the leader of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment and the famous mercenary bloody hand Colin. In order to purify the power of the ghosts and gods in his body, Colin was willing to accept the thunderous blow of the Storm Hammer. However, it doesn't seem to have turned out to be what Colin had originally envisioned.

Amerigo stared at Colin's "corpse", he didn't expect that Colin, who had always been more cautious, would die here, under the method he believed in. Carl and Vilia were also a little confused, they didn't think Colin would die from this, but what was in front of them was the cruel truth.

"I am sorry, Mr. Carr, and we deeply regret what happened to Mr. Colin. Xos, who also thought Colin was dead, apologized to the three Karls.

"Your Majesty, don't feel guilty about it, I believe that since Lord Colin is willing to accept this method, it means that he believes it. Something like this happens, and it's not what we expected. Carl was relieved.

"In order to make amends to Lord Colin, our clan is willing to provide a part of the weapons of Lord Colin's mercenary group as a token of our apology. The dwarven king, who was not much different from Carl's height, walked up to Colin's "corpse" and bowed slowly.

After doing all this, Xos motioned for the dwarven guards standing aside to prepare to carry Colin's "corpse" out. When the two dwarven guards touched Colin's "corpse", it was like a tall building without a stand collapsed, and Colin's entire body suddenly collapsed, and then turned into dust and scattered away. In the place of Colin's "corpse", only a beating heart remains, exuding vigorous vitality.

Everyone who saw Colin's body turn to ashes looked at each other, and it was clear that everyone didn't quite understand what had just happened. Even the knowledgeable Amerigo is confused.

"Is this beating heart the heart of the devil?" said the Dwachi sage, who was standing behind the dwarven king Xos, with some uncertainty.

"The devil's heart?" Amerigo fell into deep thought at Dewari's words, muttering to himself, repeating the words devil's heart.

The representative of the evil order, the devil living in the nine layers of hell has a peculiar characteristic, that is, even if you destroy the devil's body, you can't completely destroy it, only destroy the heart that contains all the power of the devil, then the devil can be killed.

But it is a very difficult thing to destroy the devil's heart, and the reason is very simple, since it is his own weakness, then of course the devil will guard against it. All the enemies who have intentions on their hearts are subjected to the devil's cruelest punishment. In the same way, when the devil feels that there is no hope of survival, he will burst his heart that gathers all his strength at the last moment. Such a hard blow is no less than dozens of forbidden spells launched at the same time

Therefore, there are very few devil's hearts that can survive, and few people can see the devil's heart with their own eyes. When Amerigo saw it for the first time, he didn't think in the direction of the devil's heart. However, after being reminded by the sage Dwachi, the information about the devil's heart quickly flooded Amerigo's mind.

It's just that before Amerigo could tell me about the devil's heart, suddenly Velia exclaimed. Amerigo hurried to the heart on the ground. I saw that the heart, which contained surging life force, was exuding the breath of flesh and blood at this moment.

"This devil's heart reacts naturally after losing its body, and they can rely on the energy stored in the heart to repair the whole body. This heart is confirmed to be the heart of a demon. Amerigo spoke his mind.

"Amerigo-sama, are you saying that this heart is no longer left by Lord Colin, but the heart conceived by the power of the ghost in Lord Colin's body?

"According to the thunderous blow of His Majesty just now, no matter how powerful the ghost and god in Colin's body is, it can't prevent himself from being destroyed, not to mention, we have all seen the death of that ghost and god in Colin's body with our own eyes. Therefore, I can't be sure whether this heart is completely dominated by ghosts and gods. It can only be said that this is indeed a devil's heart. Amerigo shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, we'll just be able to watch this heart grow and repair its body?" asked Velia.

"If we can't confirm the relationship between this heart and Colin, then the only thing we can do now is wait until this heart will be repaired. When the time comes, if it's the devil of hell, we'll kill it with all our might!" Amerigo didn't think of any good way, so he had to say a solution that wasn't the way.

Because the dwarves are disgusted with the demon law, there is no one who is proficient in this way and can contribute to the interpretation of the heart, and the dwarves, including the dwarven king Xos, can only watch the play from the sidelines. And Carl and Amerigo didn't think of a good way, so they could only wait on the sidelines.

And so, time passed slowly while everyone waited, and the heart had already successfully woven the organs in the body, first preparing to weave the head and limbs. Looking at the current situation, it is extremely probable that it will be Lord Colin's body in the end, but I don't know who will lead this body after the body is formed.

Because of this heart, it took a lot of time. Therefore, Xos asked the Fire Hammer Sage Dwach to lead Karl and the others to the resting place, and at the same time, Xos asked Dwach Sage to tell Karl the news of the existence of the undead aura and the emperor's tomb in the central mountain range that the dwarves lived.

In the dimly lit room, only one of the dwarves was trying to emit light from the searchlight of the dwarves. Karl sat at a stone table, reading carefully.

After a short time, Karl put all the information away, and then turned to Veria, who was still sitting beside him, and said, "Vilia, I wonder if after this adventure, do you choose to wander alone and pursue your way of being a ranger, or are you willing to accompany me to the tomb of Julius Caesar?"

"Is there any information given by the dwarves?" Seeing Carl's appearance, Veria knew that there must be news about the tomb of Julius Caesar.

I don't know if this message is correct, but what he depicts did appear at the coronation of Julius Caesar. I don't have a lot of information about the mausoleum right now, so I'd like you to come with me!" Karl explained.

"Where is that place?" asked Velia.

"It's far away from the city of Anko, Moscow, in the territory of the Alverian Empire, in an unknown mountain range!" Karl picked up the information and trembled, "I don't know how these dwarves managed to get so far." ”

"This document records that in the middle of that unknown mountain range, there is a strange space on the peak. The entrance to this space is changing every moment, and no one knows the pattern so far, and at the same time, people who have entered the strange art space and returned safely say that it is full of various stone statues, as if they are guarding something. This condition is the same as the material I found in the library of the school city about the tomb of Julius Caesar!"

"Carl, if this is the tomb of Julius Caesar, who you have searched for in vain, and successfully fulfilled the last wish that your father gave you on his deathbed. What are you going to do after this? continue the adventure?" asked Veria another question.

"I will follow that dream to find my biological father. The dream was so strange that it seemed that there were many secrets hidden behind it. ”

"If you want me to be with you in your future journey, then I'm willing to accompany you all the time!" Veria said suddenly, looking directly into Carl's eyes.

"Velia...... I ......" Faced with Velia's sudden confession, Carl subconsciously dodged Velia's gaze. Although, all along, Carl knew about Vilia's feelings for him. But for some reason, Carl has always avoided this feeling. In fact, even Carl didn't know what he was hiding.

Just as Carl was at a loss, there was a sharp knock on the door outside. Karl, who had been pardoned, hurriedly stood up and ran to open the door. Looking at Carl's embarrassed appearance, Vilia was not annoyed by the rejection at all, but felt that Carl was very cute like this, which is also what Vilia likes about Carl.

Opening the door, Carl saw Amerigo standing in the doorway, "Amerigo, what's wrong?" Karl asked suspiciously.

"The devil's heart hatched. Amerigo said with a heavy face.

"Is it? Lord Colin?" Carl saw that Amerigo's face was not very good-looking, "Could it be that a hell devil was born?"

"You and Velia come with me. Amerigo sighed and turned to leave.

"Carl, what's wrong? Why is America leaving?" Vilia asked curiously when she walked from the house to the door, seeing the back of America leaving.

"According to Lord Amerigo, it seems that something happened to the devil's heart in front of the Dwarven Throne, and it was not the Lord Colin that we expected. Carl told Veria what Amerigo had just told him.

"In that case, let's hurry to the Dwarven Throne. ”

By the time Karl and Vilia arrived in front of the Dwarven Clan, the Dwarves had all gathered, and had deployed a lot of troops around the throne, and they were in a state of battle readiness.

Carl and Vilia walked up to Amerigo's side, and saw a strange man with bat's wings on his back crouching in front of the throne, motionless, except for the tail of a large lizard wagging at will.

Karl cast an inquiring glance at Amerigo, "That thunder power did not completely purify the power of the ghosts and gods in Colin's body, and when the ghost god Kazanlak in Colin's body knew that he was going to be purified, a lot of power had penetrated into Colin's heart. ”

So at the moment of the Heavenly Punishment, Kazanlak divided part of it to defend against the attack of the Stormhammer, and on the other hand, he poured the only remaining soul power into Colin's heart, successfully transforming Colin's heart into a demon's heart. And prepare to use this heart to be free and reborn. ”

"It's just that Kazanlak underestimated the power of the host. In the fight for the heart, Colin managed to devour the little power left of the ghost god Kazanlak and gain control of the heart. It's just that I didn't expect that after successfully solving the ghost god Kazanlak, Colin's slowly formed body also turned into a half-human, half-demon image. ”

Amerigo sighed deeply, "Maybe bad luck and luck go hand in hand, not only has Colin's ghost power not disappeared, but its power is purer and more powerful. ”

How could this be? Carl was deeply shocked by Amerigo's words, and did not expect that things would turn out like this. As the leader of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, the image has become what it is now, and he must be very distressed.

Just when Carl wanted to go forward to comfort Colin, Colin, who had been squatting on the ground motionless, suddenly let out a low voice, "I didn't expect that I would become like this? Is it the punishment of the god of war for me?"

Looking at Colin who was slowly standing up, looking at the leader of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment who was far larger than usual, and looking at the huge bat wings behind him, constantly swinging, and the tail that was not restless at all, Carl didn't know what to say.

"Thank you for helping me, maybe now I need to find a magic potion that can change my appearance. Although my appearance has changed, please believe that my heart still belongs to human beings. Colin laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid no one will believe this." ”

"Karl, if you need my help in the future, you can go to the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria, Bernny, to find me! Then, Colin turned around again and bowed slightly to Xos on the throne, "Thank you for your generosity, the friendship between the Greywater Mercenary Regiment and the Dwarven Clan will last forever!"

After saying this, Colin flapped his wings and flew out of the city of Anko, Moscow.

After watching Lord Colin fly out of the gates of Anke City in Moscow and disappear into the night, Karl couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the hill of Andvilma, in the middle of the woods near the ruins of the city of Cusco, Sir Wacoul, Chris and Vasco were struggling to make their way to a brightly lit camp at the bottom of the mountain.

After following the orders of Lord Amerigo, the three people who left Rongjintai thought that they would not encounter any more enemies, but what they did not expect was. As soon as they left the Golden Tower, the three of Sir Wacole were attacked, and it was none other than the fallen dwarven spirits lurking among the dwarven statues.

These Dwarven Spirits lurking in the Dwarven Stone Statues, although not as good as the Dwarven Spirits summoned by Tarley Bell, will resurrect after death, and their power will increase. These dwarven heroic spirits that emerged from the stone statues died directly after being killed.

Although the strength is not as good as the heroic spirits in the melting gold platform, but the number is far superior, and these dwarf heroic spirits seem to be more able to fight, shuttling among the stone statues, they have brought a lot of trouble to Sir Wacole and the three of them, Chris is seriously injured as a result, and Sir Wacoll and Vasco are also covered in bruises.

In the end, relying on the explosion of Sir Wacole's strength, the three of them successfully broke through and came here according to Sir Wacole's instructions. The Mercenary Guild excavates a Mithril mine in the Mt. Anderville.

"Quick, hide!" Sir Wacole, who had not taken two steps and was carrying Chris on his back, suddenly stopped and motioned to Vasco beside him to dodge. "What's the matter, Lord Sir, did you find anything?" asked Vasco. "Look over there. Sir Wacole pointed to the right, and the shadows of the trees were heavy.

Perhaps because of the fatigue after the Great War, Vasco did not see anything, as Sir Wacole had instructed him.

"You're guarding Chris here, I'll go see what's going on!" Sir Wecole saw that Vasco didn't see what he had discovered, so he put Chris down from the unconscious on his back and leaned against the tree, and then sneaked down the hill alone.

In the Mercenary Guild camp,
