"Odd name."

He commented:

"Summoning the Rainstorm is something that only priests and magicians do, but it's a knight, but if you've seen it with your own eyes, you'll find it quite appropriate."

"Manipulating rain is a type of water magic, I know that, but aren't the sacrifices all magicians?"

Natsu asked.

"I'm talking about ancient sacrifices, not the gods of the current Order."

Uncle Black Knife replied:

These are a group of God-favored women who drown their sins with rain and redeem their lives with prayer...... Rainstorm Sacrifice! It was once a glorious profession, with countless ballads praising their strength and benevolence, but as time went on, the profession has now disappeared, along with the legendary eternal kingdom of Wendini. ”

When she heard Wendy's pronunciation, Natsu was shocked.

But after hearing the name completely, I put my heart down:

"Wendini, the water elemental spirit with eternal life, this is the goddess of water in mythology, and it should have nothing to do with vampires."

Thinking of those two girls named Wendy (?) Her depressed mood at the shards of the gods instantly improved, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm an atheist, but I'm very interested in these myths and legends."

She let out a powerful flame that struck the ground, and a magical fire rose from the rocks and dirt without dry wood and leaves.

"Snort-"

The water vapor evaporated from her body, and now someone was burning her clothes without being able to take off them, so she had to use spells to steam them dry.

"Magicians are so handy."

Uncle Black Knife was actually not much better than her, and he lay down on the other side, pillowed his hands and enjoyed the warm firelight, closed his eyes and said:

"This has nothing to do with atheists, it's just my personal pastime, and I can get some enlightenment from it, which is something that can never be gained when I am bored and cultivated. We don't believe in God, but we believe in knowledge and wisdom because they are all that human beings have. ”

"Where's the power?"

Xia pulled out the long sword and carefully observed whether it was contaminated with venom:

"I think you should be the kind of person who admires strength, right, why only talk about knowledge and wisdom."

"Strength is the foundation, the foundation of attaining a qiē, but compared to other races, human strength is ...... It's just too weak. ”

Uncle Black Knife sighed.

"Yes."

Natsu is not too interested in this topic.

Maybe humans are no match for orcs and dragons compared to wrist strength, but humans have fighting spirit, large combat weapons, and legacy technology excavated from the ground, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of strength, so she is not as pessimistic as the other party.

"Stephanie, superpowers should also be unique to humans, right?"

She asked the little Lori in black in her mind.

"Superpower itself is unique to human beings, but it belongs to an application of spiritual power, and the application of spiritual power is very wide, maybe other races may have similar things, but both the type and the power are much worse."

The little Lori in black was very familiar with her own job, and immediately explained to her master.

"That's ......"

Xia suddenly turned his head to Uncle Black Knife and asked:

"By the way, did you hear any news of a human town being attacked while you were tracking the Black Calamity?"

She thought of the state of the fortress and the dead bodies in the forest, which was the main reason why she had come here, but was delayed by the encounter with that terrible knight.

"Of course there is, the fortress of Pampol, the village of Neil...... Wherever this guy goes, the dark aura will slowly grow with the rainstorm, and there is a high chance that it will become a monster wreaking havoc, and a few of these places will slowly recover over time, but more ......"

Uncle Black Knife seemed to move a little uncomfortably:

"It all ended up being a black zone."

Black Zone, an unexplored area between human settlements.

Any danger can arise inside, and almost no one who enters will come back alive!

"What about the residents?"

Xia asked nervously:

"Are they all dead?"

She began to worry about the General Kevin.

Even a quasi-sword master will have a hard time surviving the Black Calamity.

"It seems that most of the people have moved to Stade City."

The uncle replied:

"The city was on a high ground, built on a high cliff, and it was a mountain city; Although the strength of the city lord is very poor, the advantage of the geographical location makes the city difficult to attack, and it should be a relatively safe place. ”

"Stade City, I think I've heard of it, and it's rumored to be a majestic white city."

Hearing his words, Xia fell into thought:

"The Black Calamity is a knight, and its habits should make it prefer to walk on flat ground, but that's just speculation...... No one knows if that's really the case. ”

――Would you like to go to that city?

She was thinking about her next plans.

Then neither of them said anything more, and after a while, Uncle Black Knife lay on the ground and snored.

"This guy dares to sleep next to a stranger."

Xia looked at him a little speechlessly.

Even if his strength is a little worse, the Lich is a genuine top level in the continent, doesn't he feel threatened?

"Master, let's go to Stadt City to have a look, and leave it alone about the elemental magic fragments."

The little Lori in black looked a little depressed.

"Don't go yet, let's settle the matter in front of you."

Xia had already made a decision in her heart, touched her hair and said:

"Let's go after the knight who summoned the rain!"

"What? Master, you're crazy! ”

The little Lori in black was so frightened that she rushed up from her original position.

If she hadn't been invisible, she would have crashed into the low roof of the cave.

"Don't worry, it's just a scout. Didn't the uncle say it, he has been following that thing, you see him, he is not alive and well now. ”

Xia pointed to the black knife uncle who was sleeping on the ground, his cloak was a little dirty, and the clothes on his body hadn't been changed for a long time, but there was no large-scale damage on it, and many traces were still left from the battle with him.

"But the master ......"

The little Lori in black stuck to her body, still worried.

"Don't forget our strengths."

Natsu put her on his back, grabbed her two small hands, and said:

"If the other party finds out, it's a big deal to turn around and run; With the Lich and the five Black Spirit Knights, plus the cover of the Light of Transfer, are you still afraid that you won't be able to escape? ”

"You can bring the bone dragon with you, master, it should be able to work too."

The little Lori in black said with her head rubbing her face.

"Forget it about the bone dragon, first, the other party is too strong, it can't play any role at all; Second, we went to investigate, its size is too large, and the dark fluctuations on its body are too thick, and there is no way to hide it. ”

Natsu was tickled by her gray hair, and reached out to hold her little head:

"It's still early to join Wendy, and we'll spend a month following it, and maybe we'll be able to get clues about the Fragment of God from it."

"What's more, there is an excellent helper here who owes us debts, how can he let him run away so easily?"

Natsu glanced at someone who was sleeping soundly, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

As if feeling that someone was calculating him, Uncle Black Knife reached out and scratched his neck, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and continued to snore there.

"Fei Nanxi, summon a black spirit knight to come and guard him, don't let him be attacked by monsters, by the way, take care of people, don't let him escape quietly."

She gave the lich an order, and then carried the little lori in black on her back and began to look for another place to rest.

After a few minutes, Uncle Black Knife by the magic fire opened his eyes.

"What a kind little girl, she didn't ask me for anything of value when she saw me on me, and she didn't take advantage of me to sleep. Such upright and noble beauties are becoming more and more rare now, if I were twenty years younger......"

He got up from the ground, patted his dried clothes, and tiptoed towards the mouth of the cave.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the cave, he made eye contact with the black spirit knight who was guarding there.

"Yo...... Yo! ”

He held out a hand and said hello.

The dark blue soul fire in the dark spirit knight's eyes stared at him lifelessly, and he didn't mean to respond at all.

"This old man, let's discuss, how about borrowing a road?"

He looked at the exit blocked by the other party and began to try to negotiate:

"I can make five copper coins......"

"Boom!"

The Black Spirit Knight pulled out his long sword, and the black qi wrapped in it skyrocketed, instantly suppressing the fire in the cave.

“…… Well, when I didn't say. ”

Uncle Black Knife shrugged his shoulders and obediently walked back to the fire and lay down.

"Alas!"

He looked at the rock wall above his head and sighed:

"This little girl is good everywhere, but why is she a necromancer? I really don't understand these women......"

……

"No way, all the dry food I brought is exhausted, and there is dark power in the rain, and I don't dare to drink it at all."

Uncle Black Knife said while carrying food from the shelves next to him:

"Don't you even need supplies? I see you've been carrying food and water with you, it's weird......"

He gave a copper plate to the guy in the shop:

"Let's go and carry another box in the back."

The hard-working fellow got the money, and immediately sped up much faster, and it wasn't long before he ran over with a box of food and placed it on the skinny horse behind the two of them.

“…… Are you chasing after you on horseback? ”

Xia looked at the horse with protruding ribs and said:

"I thought with your skills, you were all on foot."

She still had something she couldn't help but say:

Even if you don't want to walk on your legs, you can get a ground dragon or a big bird or something! You, the top powerhouse in the continent, are too shabby, right?

"Don't look at it as thin and weak, but it has a lot of strength."

Uncle Black Knife patted the thin horse on the back, and the thin horse neighed, and his voice sounded quite imposing.

"It's okay to walk on foot, but it's very damaging to your shoes, and you have to wear out several pairs of ...... a month."

- Can't you buy a better pair?

Xia Youxin vomited, but looking at the other party's dress, and the way of survival that he would rather be a coolie than a robber and a bodyguard, he sighed and gave up again.

"Find a place to store your horses and come with me."

She took Uncle Black Knife to a place to rent a mount near the city gate, and just as she wanted to go inside, a sudden stream of water splashed over.

Her movements were fast, and she immediately flashed to the side, and Uncle Black Knife didn't dodge, and there were a lot of water stains on her body.

There were a few low laughs from the side, and Xia turned his head to see four strong guards sitting at a stone table gambling, one of them put the empty bowl back, and then threw a few balls made of bone and a fragment of magic crystals into it, and buckled it on the table.

"It's a luxury way to gamble."

Uncle Black Knife shook the water on his body, and said indifferently:

"I often see people playing with this when I'm at the docks, but mostly with wood and stones, and these guys actually use magic crystal shards."

"You're not angry?"

Xia asked strangely:

"They've splashed you with water."

Uncle Black Knife waved his hand:

"Why are you angry? They didn't mean it, it was just some water, and I had been in the rain for the other day. ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Mistress Guise is back. ”

Suddenly there was a shout behind the two.

Two groups of cavalry galloped in from outside the city gate, and behind the cavalry was a magnificent carriage, which made the pedestrians on the road dodge one after another, and Xia also walked quickly to the side.

"Uncle?"

She found Uncle Black Knife standing in place, completely unmoved. R1152
