() A deserted town in the western part of the Fayele Empire

In recent years, the town has become even more desolate due to the exodus of the Empire's heavy taxes and the inhabitants of the town, and the mudslide caused by a heavy rain last year that caused a landslide in the vicinity, causing a severe mudslide in the town, and most of the remaining residents of the town were killed or injured, and the lords responsible for the management of the town did not pay any attention to it, neither relieving nor rebuilding - so that the town was completely deserted

In the center of the town, what used to be a small church of the Holy Light Cult is now occupied by an uninvited guest

Inside the church, the statue of the god and the cross were discarded haphazardly on the ground, but where the statue and the cross had been placed stood a huge and creepy throne of bones, and the mysterious man, the warden of Hades, was sitting cross-legged on the throne of bones

Raqilu, you're late, and there is a displeased voice from behind the black iron mask

Forgive my master, the comer walked to the throne of bones and knelt down on one knee, with a skull on his palm, and your servant did not know that his master had changed his stronghold temporarily, and this place was hard to find

Forget it, if it weren't for the fact that Raqilu had an important matter for you to do, I wouldn't have to rush to summon you back from the Star River Continent

Please command the master

Raqilu: I remember you reported to me a month ago that you and Shank were collecting corpses and souls from the battles between Sealand and Medin on the Star River Continent when they were interfered with by some unknown enemy

Yes, the enemy was hit hard by me at that time, and Raqilu suddenly raised his head, a little strange, why his master brought it up, and now he should be dead

As my Master of Curses, of course I don't doubt your strength, but you underestimated this opponent, and the words of Buyos surprised Raqilu a little, this opponent is not dead, and not long ago he and his companion made trouble with me twice

How could it be that Raqilu was deeply disturbed

It was true, and although it didn't pose any threat to me, it was deeply disturbing for this opponent to know too much about us, which is why I had to leave my old base and move to this place

So the host is trying to ......

All I think—Buyos gave his order, tell you to go and remove this obstacle once and for all, and remember that you must see the corpse

Obey my master, Raqilu, and will certainly live up to his master's expectations of me

Now this opponent is hiding in the Phantom Valley more than two hundred kilometers away from here, I don't want to waste my energy, otherwise I will solve this trouble myself, at this time, the ghostfire phosphorescence around the Throne of Bones moves quickly, Raqilu, my cursed master, and now I use long-distance teleportation magic to send you there directly

At this time, the phosphorus fire had already formed a huge magic array on the ground

I really didn't think that Owen actually had such a past, and after listening to Cassius's detailed account, Julian shook his head and said, It is hard to believe that a respected paladin would kill an unarmed child

Cassius was silent

But Cassius, you tend to be too gullible, Julian looked at Cassius, and thought that without you, I had known me for only a few days, and I had told me these things without reservation, and I was a member of the Knights Templar, wouldn't you be worried that I would betray you?

No, Cassius smiled, I think the most important thing to get along with people is to have an honest heart, and my intuition tells me that you are a good person, and you give me a very similar feeling to Owen, otherwise how would you become good friends with Owen

After saying that, Cassius patted the mount and ran past Julian to the front, Julian smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and patted the horse to follow

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination: the entrance to the Valley of Darkness

At this time, both the knight and the mage felt an uneasy aura coming from the valley

The horses felt the murderous aura inside, and they didn't want to go any further, so let's leave the horses outside, and Julian proposed his own proposal

Tying the two horses to a large tree near the entrance, the two walked into the valley

Along the way, they saw the corpses of many demonic beasts lying on the ground

Who the hell had killed so many blood wolves, Cassius was sweating in his palms clenching his staff, could it be that these were all Griston's doings?

Unlike Julian, who bent down to examine the corpse of a blood wolf, these blood wolves were not killed by magic, and could not have been done by ghouls, otherwise the corpse would not have been preserved so intact with the habits of ghouls, Cassius, you come and see Julian, stood up, pointed to a corpse of a blood wolf, and said to the mage, these blood wolves were all killed by sharp weapons pierced through the heart, and the perpetrator only made one move, judging by all the signs, the same person who killed these blood wolves, this person should be a warrior, and a warrior who is proficient in the use of long weapons such as spears or fighting spears

Cassius felt more and more unusual: you mean that a warrior killed twenty or thirty blood wolves

It should be like this, this warrior seems to be very strong, Julian nodded

The two continued to investigate along the corpse of the blood wolf for half an hour, and after they finally found the blood wolf king who ruled the blood wolf pack in the Phantom Valley, the blood wolf king was not only twice as large as the ordinary blood wolf, but also compared to the bright red fur of the ordinary blood wolf, the blood wolf king had thick and long dark red hair all over his body, and the biggest difference from ordinary wolf hair was that the blood wolf king's hair was hard and sharp, like a steel needle, but at this time, the blood wolf king had become a corpse like its people, and the blood wolf king's body had many wounds caused by long weapons, but under the protection of hard wolf hair, most of the injuries were extremely slight, and the real fatal blow was the long weapon piercing through the blood disk mouth of the blood wolf kingEntering its soft interior, causing permanent damage, the dead Blood Wolf King's chest was cut open, and the heart inside was gone

I saw a record in the National Library of the Snowy Federation, the Heart of the Blood Wolf King has a miraculous effect on healing, and it is a precious material that many alchemists dream of, Cassius said

So, someone killed these blood wolves and the blood wolf king in order to get the heart of the blood wolf king to heal his wounds, who is it in the end, Julian thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could it be...... Greston

But didn't you just say that these monsters were killed by a warrior who was good at using long weapons, I had never heard of a necromancer with a character like a battle mage, Cassius raised his own questions

This one...... I also don't understand that the knight is deep in thought

Suddenly, out of the corner of Julian's eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing

Who Julian shouted, drew the two knight's swords from his waist and chased after him

Wait, I Cassius writhed his chubby body and chased after him, but how could a weak mage catch up with the knight with strict physical training, Cassius was left far behind by Julian

After a few minutes of pursuit, Julian finally caught up with the man, who had come to a cave, to be exact, and stopped, and he turned around and blocked the entrance with his own body

Julian looked closely at the man in front of him, and saw that he was a young man of sixteen or seventeen, wearing a yellow knight's armor made of unknown materials, and holding a crimson single-headed spear across his chest in both hands

These blood wolves were all killed by you, Julian asked

Take one more step forward and you too will be killed, and the boy indirectly answered Julian's question with an unquestionable threat, and when he said this, the boy's eyebrows showed an aura that could simulate it, making Julian feel that he was definitely not bluffing

At this point, Julian turned his attention to the cave behind the boy: Why didn't you let me in, is there something in the cave that can't be seen?

It has nothing to do with you, and the boy said coldly

Could it be that Griston was in the cave, the boy was hired by the necromancer to protect himself while he was healing, Julian couldn't help but think

I ask you if someone is healing in the cave, and Julian raised the sword in his right hand and pointed at the boy and shouted

How do you know that someone is healing a teenager in a cave with some surprise

Do you know that inside the cave is an extremely evil man, Julian, who is trying to persuade him?

You are the extreme evil boy who is the opposite of the needle

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was so stubborn, Julian shook his head: Are you so obsessed that you must protect the evil person inside, then okay, I will go in now and kill the people inside

The young man's eyes were suddenly full of murderous energy, and he said word by word: "Except-no-I-die."

The two warriors rushed towards each other at the same time, a pair of knights' swords and crimson spears collided fiercely, rubbing out bursts of Martian boys, relying on the length of the weapon, adopting the tactics of attacking in the middle, each attack The head of the crimson spear stabbed Julian in the heart, showing extremely high judgment and excellent marksmanship, and although Julian was wearing armor, he himself knew quite well that the opponent's powerful crimson spear head could directly penetrate his armor and stab him into the heart, so Julian did not choose a hard-hitting tactic, he avoided the boy's menacing mid attack, and at the same time turned up two knight swords, left and right, and opened the bow from the slightly weak sides of the boy

Skillful marksmanship and superb swordsmanship became the most exciting performance of the battle, the crimson spear and the two knights' swords had their own merits, and the two sides of the duel seemed to be evenly matched, and neither could take advantage of the other

I saw that the young man opened two swords with the gun grid, and after the attack from one left and one right at the same time, the defense was attacked, and the knight stabbed directly into the knight's heart, the knight kicked forward with both feet, and the spear head rushed to less than an inch from the knight's chest, and the armor stopped shortening the distance, the spear head was advancing rapidly, the breastplate was rapidly retreating, and the two sides were never able to make further intimate contact, at this time, the spear head castration was exhausted, the young man suddenly pressed the spear head down and slanted into the ground, and then the young man actually used the spear as a support, and the whole body was somehow forward in the posture of head and foot, and the knight was a little caught off guard in the face of this strange move that had never been windy, and was slapped on the head by the young man with a heavy kick, but he also reacted at the moment of the stroke, and the saber in his left hand was reversed as a conditionA bloodshot flew into the air

After the end of this round of confrontation, the two sides entered a brief confrontation, Julian was kicked in the eyes, Venus left forehead bruised, but the saber on his left hand was dripping with red blood;

If I hadn't been wounded, he would have died under my spear (sword) and the two of them had such a sentence in their hearts at the same time

As the breathing of the two gradually calmed down, the combat effectiveness of both sides was rapidly recovering

I must kill the necromancer in the cave and go back to save Frei with the antidote, I must not lose

I must protect Sister Grace in the cave and not allow anyone to hurt her, and I must not lose

Both sides have reasons not to lose, the new round of attack is once again more fierce than the previous one, in just a few minutes of battle, the two have more and more scars, but the fighting spirit of both sides is getting stronger and stronger

Woo, woo...... Julian...... Woo, woo...... Finally...... Catching up, catching up with you...... Woo, woo...... A breathless voice suddenly appeared, temporarily interrupting the increasingly bloody fierce battle

The new man and the boy looked at each other, and he was very familiar with it, this was the thought that rose in the hearts of both of them at the same time

Just in time for Cassius, the man I was looking for was in the cave, and Julian shouted to the man who had suddenly entered

When the young man heard the name, he froze for a moment, and then he noticed that the person who came was a fat man, wearing a magician's robe, and the young man's whole body trembled violently

Are you Cassius from Serre Village, Pole Kingdom, the boy shouted to the fat mage

That's right, I'm Cassius Fat from Serre Village, and I'm also surprised by the teenager's question, please are you

The crimson spear in the young man's hand fell to the ground, and he shouted in a lost voice: Brother Cassius, brother, I am Ray, your own brother Ray

What do you say, Cassius didn't react for a while, you are Ray, are you really Ray, Cassius pieced together from his memories the image of the frail little boy ten years ago, is it really the sturdy boy in front of him, and then the two facial corridors of appearance overlapped in Cassius's mind - he is really Ray, my brother Ray

A feeling unique to biological brothers resonated in the hearts of the two

The oak wand in Cassius' hand slipped to the ground unconsciously

thunder

Brother

The two figures, one fat and one thin, quickly rushed towards each other, and the pair of biological brothers who had been separated for ten years and had no news hugged each other tightly

The young church knight was staring at the qiē in front of him in amazement.
