"Thank you very much for your help, stranger."

Elommel put one hand on his forehead and said to Lin Xiao, probably the etiquette of the dungeon world.

"My name is Lin Xiao, and you don't have to be polite."

"I just didn't expect your skills to be so good."

Elommel looked at this slightly "emaciated" figure, and seemed to be surprised that when he killed the ghoul, Lin Xiao was even more capable than him.

But soon he turned his gaze to Eglace, and there was something unusual in his eyes.

"Who is this young lady?"

"Eglace, she's my knight."

Lin Xiao opened her mouth to explain, and Eglace also nodded politely.

"Knight?" Elommel's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, "You're from the Sibiling Empire?" This name sounds familiar......"

His voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last he fell into deep thought, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, realize something, and speak apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snoop on anything, but I heard that the people who can use the Shadow Demon Dao came from there."

"There?"

Lin Xiao emphasized, he noticed that the "Sibiling" mentioned in Elommel's words was indeed written in Eglace's information card.

"If you don't mind, can you say more?"

Elommel's brow furrowed again.

"I don't know much, it is said that only those who have experienced the trial between life and death and come out of the dark temple of Agarela will be able to use the Shadow Demon Dao."

"Well, how to put it, there are some terrible rumors about that place, and it's not particularly good......"

Elommel said as he cautiously looked at Eglace's expression, but he couldn't see anything.

Lin Xiao turned her head and exchanged her searching eyes with Eglace.

"I'm sorry, I can't remember anything from before." She replied with a sinking face.

Lin Xiao nodded, not surprised, and didn't think that Eglace would lie to herself, maybe it was because of the game.

But one thing is certain, the world connected by the dungeon should be Eglace's hometown.

As Lin Xiao, who is also alone in another world, she has more resonance with Agrès from the bottom of her heart.

Maybe that's why we met.

Elommel didn't dwell too much on this issue, although his eyes still unconsciously avoided Eglace, he still politely asked Lin Xiao and the others to go to the camp to rest first.

As for them, they must first clean up the ghoul corpses left here.

……

On the way to the camp, Eglace, who had not talked much, took the initiative to speak.

"Lord, they don't seem to be ......"

Miss Knight stopped, as if for a moment she could not find the right word.

"I know."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The camp was not far from the location of the cave, and after only a few minutes' walk, a pile of pitched tents was found under the cover of a rock wall.

There were no fences, no guards, and even the roof was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the tarpaulin that should have been thick was riddled with holes and looked a little dilapidated.

The night had come, Lin Xiao had to take out her mobile phone, turn on the flash, and then grope her way to find a tent that looked quite complete and walked in.

It seems like no one has lived here for a long time.

Even the ground inside the tent was covered with snowflakes blown in by the wind, and a thick layer of ice had formed.

Lin Xiao walked to the bed and sat down.

The bed was spread out as if someone had slept without having time to make it, and the bedding that should have been soft had become hard and cold.

Lin Xiao felt that something seemed to be stumbling on the bed, he stood up and touched under the mattress, and a small book with a cowhide cover was turned out.

With the light of the mobile phone, Lin Xiao opened it, and the dense paper was full of words, but unfortunately, he didn't know a word.

"Get [Brian's Diary], do you want to check it?"

This damn game elf finally got smarter, and Lin Xiao remembered that he had a translator with him.

Be.

Immediately a text appeared on the interface that could be understood by him-

March 12, fine

We won the battle, and we finally won, and these damned monsters rolled back to the Abyss Gate like lost dogs, oh Vigeth, my comrades, you should have seen this with your own eyes

March 15, fine

The doors of the abyss are almost closed, only one is left, and Archmage Andrew says that it may be because of the Critical Stone, this door will always exist, it can only be sealed, not closed, which is really terrible news

March 17, overcast

The kingdom army has already evacuated a large part, and the coalition forces are almost gone, and Captain Elommel seems to have received some not-so-good news from there, hey, a little homesick

……

March 26, fine

It's been seven or eight days since the garrison mission began, and although I shouldn't say such a thing, sometimes I always think casually: Why did I stay? But as long as I'm here for a day, I'll keep this land

April 2, overcast

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there are a lot of low-level abyssal species running out of the Abyss Gate today, and it took a lot of effort to clean them up, Barnes is a little injured, and the conditions here are poor, so I'm a little worried about him

April 15, cloudy

I'm sad that Barnes is dead......

……

May 8, overcast

The supplies are getting scarcer and smaller, and the food that can be distributed in the past two days is really not enough to meet such a battle, but I know that Captain Elommel has done his best, he has not even eaten himself, and the people who change the guard are coming soon, and I have to stand the last shift

……

May 27, cloudy

I haven't eaten anything for three days, why doesn't there even a single bird in this damn snowy mountain, and the troops who have changed the guard haven't come yet, think of something beautiful, can a person like me embrace the Holy Spirit after death?

June 1, overcast

Maybe they remembered the wrong time, and it was only me and Captain Elommel left in the camp, and I couldn't move anymore, but why could I always hear the charge outside

June 2, fine

I seem to see it, everybody's there

……

This is where the diary is written, and it comes to an abrupt end.

Lin Xiao closed the interface, seemed to understand something, and felt that he still hadn't figured it out.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a burly body walked in with a cold wind, and under the bright moonlight, the ground was empty, leaving no shadow.

"Captain Elonmeer, how long have you been stationed here?" Lin Xiao asked calmly.

Elommel was stunned for a moment, then patted the back of his head, and said with some uncertainty:

"It's been so long, it's almost too long to remember...... About thirty years, right? ”

He said it casually, as if it weren't a big deal.

"Yes, it's been thirty-four years, and since the withdrawal of the Kingdom Army, you have always been here, even if you die, you still can't rest in peace......"

Lin Xiao said softly, muttering as if talking to herself.

Thirty-four years ago, the army of the Kingdom of Uragon withdrew, leaving Elommel's small team to continue to garrison the Abyssal Gate in the Pandara Mountains, and according to the original plan, someone would replace them within two months.

However, on the way to the withdrawal of the kingdom army, Prince Stewart, who was located in the holy capital, took advantage of the fact that the army was out and the internal defense was lax, and the king of Uragon, Lane IX, was assassinated and died suddenly.

The eldest prince who led the troops outside, the princes with their own fiefs, and Stewart, who had been eyeing the throne, all coveted the throne, and for a time the situation in Uragun was chaotic, and everyone in the holy capital was in danger.

It wasn't until a few years later that the youngest prince, Tyrian, reunited the fragmented Uragon, quelled the turmoil, and established a new imperial power......

They, like unimportant garbage, are thrown aside and left unattended.

But even so, this group of soldiers who have been forgotten by history still stick here, and even turn into heroic spirits after death, fighting against the Abyss Species for thirty-four years.

These are what Lin Xiao learned through the diary and Pamela's letter, he doesn't need to open it, he just needs to click on it in the interface to confirm.

Shouwang, in Chinese, means to guard watch.

However, behind this watch, how many people who enjoy the quiet years know and remember them.
